She Song

Chapter 276 Recruit Yue Fei
The 130-member gang of thieves and bandits headed by Li Hu was put on public trial on the fifth day after its establishment. Because of the seriousness of the case and its negative impact, it attracted thousands of victims to watch.

The newly appointed acting magistrate He Run presided over the trial. After investigation and interrogation, the crimes of Li Hu and others soon became clear.

The total stolen goods included: one pig, two sheep, twelve chickens, ducks, geese, and poultry, more than [-] kilograms of rice grain, and some vegetables.

In addition, seven people were injured during the robbery, and there were no homicides.

He Run was originally an ordinary official in Tangyin County Government, engaged in the idle job of excerpting and archiving documents. Han Xiaoyao took care of Tangyin's officials, big and small. He stood out because of his lack of merit and deeds, and temporarily acted as county magistrate.

There is no way, the officialdom of a nest of snakes and rats is like a sauce vat. If you have no merits and demerits, you are considered a clean official. What's more, He Run is literate in writing and hyphenation and is very familiar with various documents and cases, so he will use it for the time being.

It is said that "a county magistrate who ruins his family is a magistrate who destroys his family." He Run, who was not even thirty years old, never dreamed that one day he would be able to take charge of the power of a county magistrate.

Zhenbei Wang Lei Ting was the first public trial to wipe out bandits after he swept up the officialdom, and he was determined to do it well.Relying on his familiarity with the legal provisions and his personal perceptions, He Run quickly drafted a verdict and personally sent it to Han Xiaoyao, who was attending the case.

"It is inevitable that the official will not consider the details for the first time when judging the case. I would like to ask the prince to review it and make some suggestions!"

Han Xiaoyao didn't pick up the note, glanced at it for a while, nodded and said: "It's generally fair, but many of them are blind followers. Can you consider changing exile to local labor? If you can do something good for the people of Tangyin, it should be considered as atonement."

He Run felt relieved. He had already inquired that King Zhenbei's favorite punishment was hard labor. Therefore, there would not be too much deviation in other punishments, but he deliberately reserved the sentence for the leader to give his opinion. of.

After all, after ten years of official career in the county government, He Run knew very well that he had made the judgment perfectly. If the leadership could not change it, wouldn't it mean that the King of Zhenbei was inferior to him?This is a taboo thing.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kind words. I am now enlightened. I will change it now!"

He Run took the verdict and announced in public: "There are three thieves led by Li Hu who stole 130 and took advantage of the flood to gather people to disturb the village. The crime is as follows... The judge sentenced the first offender Li Hu to five years of hard labor, and the two accomplices 130 and one. Years of hard labor are all served within the county. From now on, all prisoners must report to the county government at [-]:[-] every day until the expiration of the sentence. Those who are absent without reason or passive in work will be fined double, and those who are violated three times will be sent to jail! "

Li Hu was stunned.

There was no beheading in public, there was no exile of the sergeants and soldiers, only hard labor, and it was in this county. This was completely different from what I thought?

Li Hu's men were also confused. Such a lenient penalty had never happened before!

Seeing Li Hu and others in a daze, He Run asked deliberately: "What? Are you dissatisfied with my judgment?"

When he said this, everyone quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to thank him: "Thank you to Hezhi County, we are convinced!"

He Run smiled slightly and said loudly: "There is no need to thank me, this is all the grace of the King of Zhenbei! There is one more thing I want to inform my neighbors. There are still many bandits in this county. Anyone who surrenders within three days will receive a reduced sentence and leniency. Deal with it, otherwise you will be severely punished once arrested!"

The people watching saw He Run's treatment of justice, kindness and power, and they all applauded warmly.

After the public trial, Ma Weitian looked at Yue Fei Tang Huai, who was a little relieved, and said with a smile: "Tang Yin will not have any more banditry in the future! Since you two have decided to join the Zhenguo Army, you should accept recruit training honestly from now on!"

Tang Huai felt that although he was not as good as Yue Fei, he could knock down the special forces members, which proved that he should be very good in the Zhenguo Army. When he heard that he was going to receive training, he deliberately asked: "Uncle Ma, Pengju's skills are very good in the special forces." You should be the best in the team, why do you still need to undergo recruit training?"

Ma Weitian glanced at Yue Fei with great interest and asked: "If it were the Imperial Imperial Army, it wouldn't be unusual for you two to be commanders, but you still lack a lot in the Zhenguo Army..."

Tang Huai was relatively lively and asked: "What are we lacking?"

Ma Weitian asked with a smile: "Can you draw maps? Can you use artillery and hot air balloons? Do you know teamwork? Can all arms work together? Do you know how to build bunkers? In fact, these are easy to say. The key is that you know What is the true nature of an army?"

Tang Huai was dumbfounded. He had never heard of these. How could he pick them up?

Even Yue Fei's eyes showed desire.The year before last, I had been a daredevil in Zhending for more than half a year. I was given the worst treatment and was doing the most dangerous tasks. The Shangguan fired his sword and gun and shouted "Kill!" Everyone rushed forward and started hacking away. No one had ever said that these professionals were so skilled. military affairs.

At this moment, he realized that the Zhenguo Army was where his heart belonged.

When I returned to the thatched house last night, my mother and wife, who had been worried all day, were very happy to see that I was back safe and sound. However, when I heard that King Zhenbei recruited me to join the army, my wife's face immediately turned cloudy. However, my mother sized up the situation and made the decision to join the army. the road.

"Fei'er, mother knows that you are both civil and military, and also understands your intention to join the army and serve the country. From the past two days, it seems that the young King of Zhenbei must think highly of you. Go ahead tomorrow morning!"

Seeing what her mother-in-law said, although Yue Liu didn't dare to refute, she couldn't help muttering: "Bing Cao is an official anyway, and the big soldiers will only be bullied..."

Mrs. Yao shook her head: "Fei'er, you have to endure hardships to become a great person! So, no matter what the prince asks you to do, you must do your job down-to-earth!"

"Son, remember your mother's teachings!" Yue Fei nodded in agreement, and then said to his wife: "I heard that recruits of the Zhenguo Army are given a monthly salary of thirty kilograms of rice and grain. After three months, when they become full-time soldiers, it will be doubled. I will ask someone to take them home at that time."

Mrs. Yue Liu's eyes finally shined. If she could really get paid in full, her family would not have to worry about food and clothing.What's more, my mother-in-law said that my husband is likely to be valued by the prince. When he is promoted to the top of the team, his salary and silver rewards will be even greater.

Her mood also improved, and she touched her belly and said, "Since Mom has decided, let's go. I also want the little ones to eat..."

In short, when it was determined that a military position in the county was impossible, Yue Fei finally joined the new barracks of the Zhenguo Army.

Through the selection at the school martial arts field yesterday, the Zhenguo Army also took the opportunity to recruit [-] high-quality recruits, and Ma Weitian naturally became the recruits' instructor.

After the public trial, all the reported recruits gathered. Ma Weitian took the lead in announcing military discipline. He also informed that the elimination rate of recruits in the first month would be [-]%, and the eliminated recruits would be transferred to Tangyin garrison.

Next, they changed into military uniforms and received equipment. Each person received two sets of new military uniforms and shoes, a bedding and toiletries.

This surprised and delighted the recruits. Most of the farm boys had always been wearing straw sandals and rags, but now they looked brand new, like a dream.

Joining the Zhenguo Army is worth it!

Tang Huai became a spearman, while the almighty Yue Fei had long been favored by Ma Weitian and was ready to be recruited into his special operations battalion as a backbone for training.

There were 30 people in a military tent, and the housekeeping was tidied up. It was already noon. According to the Zhenguo Army's three meals a day rule, most of the recruits had their first lunch in their lives for the first time.

The meaty lunch made many recruits lick their plates clean!

After lunch, Ma Weitian gathered again and distributed the first month's salary according to the list: the usual copper coins plus thirty kilograms of rice, everyone had a share, and there was no deduction at all.

"Originally, the salary was to be paid at the beginning of the next month, but considering that Tangyin was hit by the disaster, the prince specially asked for the advance to be paid in advance, so that all family members can live with peace of mind and tide over the difficulties."

The recruits were so excited that they all knelt down to thank Han Xiaoyao.

"Everyone, get up!" Ma Weitian shouted loudly: "No matter what happens in other places, the Zhenguo army does not like to kneel and worship. If you really want to express your gratitude, just salute!"

With that said, Ma Weitian performed a standard raising of hands salute.

So Yue Fei raised his hand to salute the Chinese army's tent.
