The third emperor of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 26
On this day, the banks of the Tuoshui River outside Hejian City in Hejian County were already crowded with people.

More than 7000 captives were also escorted by the army, watching in horror more than [-] bandits kneeling on the river beach.

The hands and feet of these people were tied behind their backs, their mouths were gagged, and most of them were so frightened that they collapsed on the riverside. Don't blame the public, but the big evildoers can't escape punishment.

Standing behind them was a soldier of the Sui army, each holding a horizontal knife, waiting for the order to cut. At this time, Yang Tong appeared on the shore surrounded by two hundred Xuanjia troops.

Stepping onto the high platform, Yang Tong said loudly to the common people: "Those by the riverside are all criminal bandits, I, Yang Tong, will kill them today, and give an explanation to all the common people who have been humiliated and died miserably. .”

The blazing sun shone on Yang Tong's body, making him look unparalleled in domineering and evil spirit.

The Battle of Wude Mountain completely destroyed the main rebellion in Hebei Province. Gao Kaidao, Zhang Junli, Gao Tansheng, Zhang Jinshu and other bandit leaders died in the war!Although Dou Jiande and Liu Heita do not know life and death, Yang Tong will never give them the soil to breed.

But now, to publicly slaughter the most vicious villains, one is to explain to the people and let them believe that the court has the ability to deal with real villains; the other is to tell them that the villains you fear are dead and can live normally; Killing chickens to make an example to monkeys, so that these more than [-] captives behaved honestly.

Yang Tong glanced at the sky and said loudly, "Cut!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The dull drum beat, and hundreds of thousands of people erupted, shouting like thunder, "Kill them! Kill them!"

At this time, a sharp horizontal knife slashed off, the head rolled off, and blood spurted out!

More than 300 bandits were all beheaded on the bank of Tuoshui, and the crowd of tens of thousands burst into cheers, and the cheers went straight to the sky.

After the people calmed down, Yang Tong said again: "In the past few years, in the 166 counties and [-] counties of Hebei Province, there have been many corrupt officials. People from the same village. Today! On behalf of the imperial court, I will give you an explanation."

After a while, the Sui army launched more than 600 unjust officials.

The corners of Yang Tong's mouth curled slightly. There are actually only more than 600 officials here, and 1000 of them are gangsters who have committed many crimes. He put these people in official uniforms and launched them together. increase confidence!
"cut!"

This kill, Tuoshui blood red.

The people in Hejian applauded this killing.

This killing shocked Hebei Road.

Yang Tong's iron-blooded, ruthless methods, and the killing of lawless 'officials' are definitely the first in Hebei Province.

There are punishments, so of course awards are indispensable!
"Qinghe Tongshou Yang Shanhui, Pingyuan Tongshou Yang Yuanhong, Hejian County Prime Minister Wang Cong, and Xindu County Prime Minister Gao Yaxian have performed outstandingly in the anti-thief operations. No matter how difficult it is, they have always been loyal to their duties, diligent in government and caring for the people, and were promoted to the county. Shou!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Yang Shanhui, Yang Yuanhong, Wang Cong, and Gao Yaxian were beaming and respectfully took the seal from Yang Tong.

"I hope you will continue to work hard! Serve the people in your new position!"

"Dedicate yourself to death, and die!" The four shouted loudly.

The people in Hejian don't know Yang Shanhui, Yang Yuanhong, Gao Yaxian, but they know that Wang Cong is upright, loyal to his duty, and proficient in military affairs. If it weren't for him, Hejian County would have been destroyed by bandits long ago.First seeing the death of a corrupt official, and then seeing the promotion of a good official, everyone gave the warmest cheers.

"Su Yong, a righteous man in Xindu, led the soldiers of the county to crusade against the bandit crown for the prefecture and county, and sacrificed heroically. In my will, I took the lead in the charge many times, first defeated Zhang Jincheng, the leader of the Qinghe rebel army in the south of the county, and then defeated the leader of the Handan rebel army Yang Gongqing in the west of the county! For his meritorious service, he was awarded the fifth rank of Huji general, and the reward was 15!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Su Lie burst into tears, and stepped forward to take away the glory that belonged to his father and himself.

"The righteous man Wei Zheng has made great contributions in defending Wuyang County. He canonized him as the minister of the Ministry of Punishment of Daoxingtai Province, Hebei Province. The reward is [-]!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Wei Zheng was also very excited!
"Meng Ren, a righteous man in Qinghe, risked his life to deliver a letter when the rebel army attacked Qinghe, and unfortunately died at the hands of the rebels. He was posthumously named a doctor of the imperial court, and he was granted a hundred taels of gold. His son Meng Rong was raised by the imperial court and studied for free. Yixue!"

The people rejoice again!

"The righteous man Gu Yue..."

"..."

After rewarding hundreds of civil righteous men in one go, Yang Tong said loudly: "Because of time constraints, I won't read them one by one in detail. The rest of the meritorious men will be rewarded. Everyone will leave their names in the county chronicles and record their meritorious deeds."

This time, the voice was even louder.

In life, there is nothing more than fame and fortune in life.

Chasing fame and fortune is the goal of most people's life, how many people can really be indifferent to fame and fortune?

Although it is said that the dead are gone.

However, Yang Tong's generous rewards for those who have done meritorious service have aroused heated discussions among people!

How to keep others from being envious and tempted by the honors of being named Liu County Chronicle, Le Shi Recording Merit, and being immortalized?
Officials at all levels take this as a role model in life, and they are all energetic and diligent in government affairs.And the common people will take this as an example and strive to be a responsible person!
Seeing the excited people, Yang Tong knew that his deeds had played an advertising role. Before long, his image of being clear about rewards and punishments would spread throughout Hebei Province, thus making the people in dire straits look forward to the future.

The jubilation of the day finally calmed down as night fell. The blood of more than 7000 bandits and more than 600 lawless officials still flowed by the river, and the hatred dissipated. More people will not sleep tonight, thinking about their future life, after all, to live is to face reality.

In the county government office, the lights are brightly lit.

Yang Tong sits on the main seat, and below him are Yang Gongren, Yang Shidao, Wei Zheng, Pei Renji, Yang Shanhui, Yang Yuanhong, Gao Yaxian, Wang Cong, Huangfu Wuyi, Kong Yingda, Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin, Pei Xingyan, Niu Jinda and other civil and military personnel.

Everyone got together to urgently discuss the post-war reconstruction work and strive to implement spring plowing.

"How are the arrangements for the officials?" Yang Tong asked Yang Gongren.

"The county magistrates, county magistrates, county lieutenants, meritorious officers, and chief registrants of the [-] counties have all been replaced by reserve officials. They are finally looking forward to the opportunity, and because of the sense of crisis brought about by the 'trial system', all of them are extremely nervous. Be careful."

During this period of time, Yang Tong fought in the front, and Yang Gongren arrested the officials in Shanggu County and the thirteen counties south of Zhuo County in the back. Hebei Province was in chaos for seven or eight years. They were the ones who received the royal salary but acted as the internal support of the rebels. Of course, they saved the lives of the local people because they had their own way, but Yang Gongren was not polite at all in front of the big right and wrong. He was either caught and beheaded, or dismissed and investigated Hebei Road.

"The reserve officials have no political experience, so they won't mess up the place?" Yang Tong worried.

"Your Highness, you can rest assured!" Yang Gongren smiled: "The candidates I selected are all outstanding performers. There may be mistakes, but they will never become more chaotic."

"Small mistakes are inevitable, and I can tolerate them."

Yang Tong had nothing to worry about about Yang Gongren, and then asked Yang Shidao, "Have the statistics of the disaster victims from Henan Province been counted?"

At this time, Yang Shidao was thin and bony. He was the servant of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and was in charge of the resettlement of the victims. He was afraid that the refugees would make trouble if there was any trouble. She no longer has the elegant demeanor she used to have, but she is under a lot of pressure and has grown very fast, with a little more calm temperament than before.

"According to the registration statistics from Henan Province, so far, there are about 83 households who have moved into Hebei Province, with a total population of more than 320 million. According to His Highness's plan, all these people have been arranged to Qinghe, Zhaojun, Bo In the three counties of Mausoleum, 35 households make up a village, with an average of ten acres of land per capita. There is one village chief and two deputy village chiefs to mediate disputes! Qinghe County and Zhao County are large counties, each with [-] households, and the rest are in Bo mausoleum."

Yang Shidao didn't read the books, and he reported some basic conditions of Hebei Province to Yang Tong by heart: "The population of Qinghe and Zhao County is more prosperous than before the war, and there is no extra land. The new population in the future can only be obtained through land reclamation. Fields! The grain seeds have been distributed in place, and the people are now hurrying to practice the fields, so that this year's farming season will not be delayed. The people are very supportive of "relief with work", and a large number of young and old people participate in the repair of rivers and canals every day Digging, wait until the farming season is over, then build walls, roads, and strengthen dikes!"

Yang Tong was amazed by Yang Shidao's swift action and speed: "Thankfully, Mr. Shidao came to vote! Otherwise, the situation would not be so good and so fast."

"It's also His Highness's plan that is precise and clear, and I'm just drawing from the gourd!" Yang Shidao said with a modest smile.

"Qinghe, Zhao County, and Boling are the key counties for resettling the victims, and they are the places where problems are most likely to occur. Qinghe County has Mr. Yang Shanhui in charge. I am very relieved and focus on developing Gaojibo, a hiding place for the rogues."

Yang Tong went on to say: "But Zhaojun and Boling lack county guards to preside over major events, so I decided to let Mr. Huangfu transfer to Zhaojun and Mr. Yang Yuanhong to transfer to Boling."

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your trust!" Yang Shanhui, Huangfu Wuyi, and Yang Yuanhong solemnly agreed.

"The resettlement of the people is the most important thing. If it is not handled properly, there will be a big mess! All the county guards must treat this matter as a bloody battle!"

"Here!" Everyone respectfully obeyed.
