Chapter 406
Not only Baize County, but at the same time, many prefectures and counties in Huaibei, a large number of urban foxes and rats, gangsters Qingpi, and those rich families who were secretly stirring up the muddy water were all swept away by the soldiers.

With the news of the secret agents of the Military Intelligence Department, many families who acted a little too presumptuously were uprooted.

Afterwards, many ordinary people and those who wanted to make meritorious deeds to redeem their sins saw the opportunity to report and confess other hidden scum.

The whole cleaning process lasted for half a month.

half a month.

There are thousands of families claiming to be aristocratic families, and thousands of gangsters and desperadoes were arrested. Among them, thousands of people resisted during the arrest process and were directly killed.

The rest were taken to prison, awaiting interrogation.

After half a month of action, the action was swift and resolute. Sihong and the wealthy businessmen and families from all over the place were frightened by this action. Many people thought that Duke Huai wanted to carry out a large-scale cleansing, and some even wanted to pack up their bags and escape quietly.

But soon, they knew the target of this operation, and the operation process was orderly, the target was accurate, and no innocent people were involved.They are relieved.

Many aristocratic families in Sihong City were also shocked by this action.

At this time, everyone will understand.

Although Wang Jing usually behaved very easy-going, and rarely dealt with the civil and military under his command, he seemed to be a benevolent king, but he was just an easy-going and benevolent person, and it was impossible to achieve such a feat in troubled times.

People like Pei Ju, Shen Yue, and Fan Yun, who had just defected, had a higher evaluation of Wang Jing because of this clean-up operation.

A wise king in troubled times, apart from being kind, he should not hesitate to kill.

Otherwise, a monarch like Fu Jian who knows that his subordinates have different intentions but never cleans them up is a lesson from the past...

This time, Wang Jing mainly cleaned up the low-level officials and families.It didn't involve the middle and high levels, but the officials only need to know that Wang Jing has such ability and determination.

On January [-]th in the fourth year of the beginning.

Many soldiers and civilians in Sihong City received rewards from the government, but all family members who joined the army received rice grains and meat.

Just like last year, the Huai army was in full swing, more than doubling its territory.

Many meritorious sergeants, in addition to being promoted, also received military merit fields, and some elite soldiers who showed their talents in cultivation also received the elixir decoction specially developed by Daozhengsi for quenching the body.

The Huai army is expanding, and the cities under its rule are developing.

Both the government and the people are becoming more and more prosperous, and there have been a lot of changes from last year.

Unknowingly, cloud carts used to practice elixir, spirit stones as energy sources, and talisman arrows carved with talismans to enhance lethality are slowly appearing in the world of Shenzhou.

Just like the cloud car, it is still a government control tool. In the future, a tool like the cloud car that does not have much technical content will definitely be spread among the people.

The whole society will gradually move closer to the practice civilization.

But now, no one cares and studies these things.

The palace hall.

Wang Jing held a banquet in the hall, and all officials in Sihong were invited.There are also some famous families in Sihong, such as Qiao's family and Bu's family, who also attended.

In the apse, Xiao Qiao and Xiao Yun hosted a banquet for the family members and wives of the ministers on behalf of Wang Jing.

New year, new start.

Representatives of many famous families attended this banquet, and they also wanted to hear the news. They wanted to know whether Wang Jing would regard this clean-up during the New Year as normal.

If it is normal, then they will definitely be more cautious in doing things.

Well, as for resistance and obedience, they dare not.

The bigger the family business, the more careful they are in every decision they make, and they are still thinking about how to get on Wang Jing's boat.

Even if the rules and laws of the Huai Army are stricter, they can bear it.

Inside the hall, there are dozens of tables of banquets, and many pretty court ladies are busy shuttling back and forth. At the entrance of the hall, there are energetic and vigorous guards holding their knives straight as if they were pines and cypresses.

Officials of the Huai army filed in and took their seats under the leadership of Shen Yi, Bu Zhi, Fu Youde and others.

The whole hall suddenly became quiet.

Wen and Wu sat on the left and right sides respectively.

Soon, Wang Jing came with the princess, and many civil and military officials immediately came forward to pay homage.

"Get up!"

Wang Jing was wearing the King's Crown Clothes, with a calm expression and a calm demeanor. After smelting the divine dragon image, his eyes became as sharp as lightning, full of majesty.

Even a casual glance can make people frightened.

Especially after some cleaning, many officials and representatives of the families in the city trembled a little.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The ministers just got up.

"Gu led the army to march south this time, destroyed Yang Guang, Zhang Shicheng, Yu Wenhuaji, successfully captured Huaidong, expanded our army's territory twice, and completely pacified the Jianghuai land!"

"Achieving this is due to the bloody battles of the soldiers in the army and the fighting of many generals. It is also inseparable from the fact that you stabilize the overall situation in the rear and transport food and grass. You and I work together to achieve the prosperity of the Huai Army today!"

"I hope that you will continue to work hard in the future, and achieve great things together with Gu, and become the hero of the founding of the country, starting well and ending well!"

Wang Jing's voice was faint, but it reached the ears of everyone in the hall smoothly.

"Your Majesty is wise and powerful, and we will definitely assist you to achieve great things!"

Shen Yi said on behalf of the officials.

In Wang Jing's words just now, the key point is only four words, that is, a good beginning and a good end...

The meaning is obvious, as long as the actions of the courtiers do not exceed his bottom line, he will not easily carry out a big purge.

The caring person who understood this, secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

But this is also a beating. If they really exceeded the bottom line and angered Wang Jing, then the targets of the next cleanup will be people like them.

"Let's have a feast!"

Wang Jing waved his hand and said.

The attendants at the side immediately signaled, and then two groups of dancers filed in, accompanied by the musicians on both sides of the hall, and began to sing and dance.

These dancers are carefully selected pretty women, and they are pleasing to the eye when they dance.

Han Xizai saw these dancers, and then looked at the princess above.

He and Zhou Zong who were not far away looked at each other and gestured with their eyes.

Zhou Zong understood the other party's hint.

In the king's inner house, there are currently only three women, and there are not many people in the harem. With the speed of Wang Jing's rise and expansion, he will definitely be able to dominate one side in the future and achieve hegemony.

At that time, no matter whether it is for marriage or to spread branches and leaves, they will definitely be drafted into the palace.

Before the draft.

If Zhou Zong offered his daughter to the palace, he would definitely be able to win the moon first, let his daughter get the favor of the king first, and then have an heir, the Zhou family can also gain a complete foothold.

By the way, with their officials from the Southern Tang Dynasty, their foundation in the Huai Army can become more stable.

In this regard, after Wang Jing captured Yangzhou.

Zhou Zong was also a little tempted by this proposal, but he needed to seek his own daughter's opinion.
