Chapter 59 Purge
On the training ground, the army in Zhoucheng stood staggeringly, without energy.

The military uniform he was wearing was also from a few years ago, and it was tattered.

This kind of state army is far behind the new army of Ping'an Fort.

Han Chufan was extremely disappointed.

After returning to the government office, Han Chufan began to think about future development, write and draw on paper, and plan the future path.

"Time is running out. There is not much time left for the Great Xia Dynasty, and there is not much time left for me." Han Chufan said to himself.

According to the laws of dynasty development, Daxia was already at the end of its dynasty, and both the government and the army were in a state of decay.

To regain a new lease of life, deep reforms are necessary.But it is even more difficult for those in power to reform themselves.

"We must use thunderbolt means to clear away the haze of darkness, so that Qingxiangzhou City can regain its new life."

On the third day after Han Chufan took office, he appointed Liu Tianfei as the deputy conduct officer of Qingxiang Prefecture City, with Geng Chunping assisting him and presiding over the reform of the army.

Wang Qiang was appointed as the deputy ethics officer, with Sun Da assisting him to preside over the civil affairs of Qingxiangzhou City.

The first order Han Chufan wanted to issue was to abolish the existing army in Qingxiangzhou City and recruit new troops according to the standards of Ping'an Fort.

"Master Han, are you too anxious? If we disband the army as soon as we arrive, will there be any trouble?" Sun Da said worriedly.

"Don't be afraid, we have 500 new troops here. Even if someone dares to cause trouble, there won't be any trouble." Liu Tianfei said confidently, those state troops are just fighting the five scum, and they can be wiped out without a hundred new troops.

"Tian Fei is right. We have a strong army at hand, so why are we afraid of those rags in the city? If anyone dares to cause trouble, just send the army to suppress him." Geng Chunping said in agreement.

"Okay, I've made up my mind. After a while, the Tatars will definitely come back and cause chaos. We don't have much time left. I don't have the time or leisure to waste time with these rats.

It is necessary to cut through the mess quickly and quickly solve all the hidden dangers in Qingxiang Prefecture City. It is necessary to take action against the old army in the prefecture city.

Tian Fei is right, we are not afraid of the old forces in the city making trouble.With a strong army at hand, everything is as stable as a rock. "

Han Chufan made the decision to solve all the problems in Qingxiangzhou City with the power of thunder.

"No." Fatty, Sun Da, Liu Tianfei, and Geng Chunping all took orders and abided by Han Chufan's decision.

Soon, the news that Han Chufan was going to abolish Qingxiangzhou City and the existing army reached Wang Shunde's ears.

"Master Wang, have you heard that Master Han wants to abolish the existing army in Zhoucheng?"

"Yes, Mr. Wang, if the existing army is abolished, how can we still live on empty wages? It really means the salary of the imperial court, let's all go and drink from the northwest wind."

The hundreds of officers under Wang Shunde said with a sad face.

The state army recruited by Qingxiang Prefecture City can each receive a military salary of 5 taels of silver per year. For a military quota of more than 400 people, this is more than 2000 taels of silver per year.

Wang Shunde and several hundreds of officers under him could embezzle more than 1000 taels of silver every year on their empty pay and blood of soldiers.

In the past, I paid 400 taels of silver to the conduct officer Zhou Ming every year.

For the rest, Wang Shunde can get 400 taels of silver, and the remaining three hundred households can get more than 100 taels of silver each year.

The poor military households did not know the fact that they were not paid, and they always thought that the court had no money to pay them.

"This Han Chufan is simply going too far. When he came here, he was going to cut off the brothers' financial resources. I already revealed some information to him last time. In every Acropolis military state, there is an act of free money.

Why should he hold on to us? If he wants to cut off our financial resources, don't blame us for being rude. "Wang Shunde said angrily. It is an unspoken rule for Daxia officers to eat empty pay and drink soldiers' blood. This Han Chufan actually wants to break this rule of the game.

"Master Wang, what should we do?" Three Hundred Households asked.

Wang Shunde was drinking tea, his mind working rapidly, thinking about how to prevent Han Chufan's disarmament policy from proceeding.

"Isn't he going to dismantle the army in the city and find a few smarter soldiers to take the lead in arranging payment for the reason of arrears of pay?

Look at how Mr. Han is still disarming. Once a mutiny is provoked, it will be a serious crime of beheading, and he will not dare to mess around. "

"Master Wang, wait a minute, as long as a soldier takes the lead in making trouble, Master Han will not dare to mention disarmament easily again.

Mr. Wang is indeed very resourceful. The villain admires and admires him. "A few officers from hundreds of families were flattering.

Wang Shunde stroked his beard, triumphantly.

"I, Wang Shunde, have been in Qingxiangzhou City for more than ten years. Han Chufan, I originally wanted to live in peace with you, but if you want to cut off my money, you will have to go against you."

The next day, in the military camp in Qingxiangzhou City.

"Brothers, I heard that the new conduct officer, Mr. Han, is going to abolish us."

Said Youzi, a veteran named Qiu Shan.

"Abolition, just abolish it. There's no point in staying here. It would be nice to go back and farm with peace of mind."

"That's right. I haven't paid my salary for several years. What's the point of staying in the army in the state city?"

"You're right. Maybe one day the Tatar or Barbarian army will come and we brothers will be asked to come forward to die. It's a good thing to disband them."

"You are wrong to think that way. Once we are laid off, the wages owed to us in the past few years will be gone.

When we leave, we won't be able to ask for money anymore.That's dozens of taels of salary. Don't you feel sad if it's just gone? "Qiu Shan said loudly.

"Then what can we do? The court won't pay us, what can we do? Even if we don't leave, we still have no money if we keep dragging here." said a military household.

"If we keep stalling here, we still have a chance to get paid. Besides, doesn't the new Mr. Han want to abolish us?

It just so happened that we went to make a fuss and asked him to make up for our previous salary before we could be dismissed, otherwise we would quit. Qiu Shan said indignantly.

"Pay? That Lord Han is the master who can kill Tatars. How can we get paid?" Many people said worriedly. After all, they knew Han Chufan's reputation.

"What are you afraid of? We are taking advantage of it. If we are not paid, we will not leave. Mr. Han can't do anything to us."

"Brother Qiu Shan is right. We will take care of this matter. If we get paid, the lives of our brothers will be much easier."

"Yes, just make trouble with them once and get our wages back."

Qiu Shan looked at the military households who were provoked, with a meaningful smile on his face.He sneaked out of the barracks and came to Shen Cao's house.

"Sir and villain, everything is done. As long as Mr. Han officially issues the order to disarm, I will take them to pay."

Shen Cao from Baihu patted him on the shoulder and said, "Well done, these five taels of silver are rewarded to you. When the matter is done, there will be ten times the reward."
