Datang ancient martial arts system

Chapter 281
With the arrival of reinforcements, the battle quickly came to an end. The water bandits fled, and were killed by Situ Changfeng and others into the cottage.

Confiscate the weapons and put them in custody. As for those who have not been caught yet, Situ Changfeng said that there is no need to worry at all. All you need to do is gather all the boats and stay away from the shore. On the island, there is nowhere to escape. After dawn, slowly arrest them.

Generally speaking, there are quite a few ordinary people on the island. Evil Jiao Island deserves its notoriety. There are only a little less than [-] ordinary people on the entire island. Except for the family members of the gangsters, the rest of the people should be said to be imprisoned by them to work on the island. , basically all look disheveled and severely malnourished.

However, this made it easier for Situ Changfeng. The people generally seemed happy about the imperial court's occupation of the island, with expectations in their eyes.

After dawn, the soldiers were sent out to hunt down the escaped bandits on the island. Situ Changfeng met another famous general in his memory for the first time——Liu Renyuan.

This is a man with a simple and honest appearance and a strong body. His honest appearance makes people feel good at first sight.Situ Changfeng had seen him make a move last night, and he was good with a ring-head saber, and he also had the strength of the middle-level prefecture-level, which was why he was able to sit firmly in the Langzhou County Lieutenant's Office.

With such strength, he is already considered a top player in the Dongting Lake area. Of course, the water bandits in the lake can avoid provocation, try not to provoke them.It is precisely because of strength that Liu Renyuan admires Ma Zhan, who is a few years younger than himself, and the two cooperate very well in Langzhou.

The boats also began to transport the people back to the city. After all, the island has limited resources and does not need too many people. However, since the water bandits have opened up the land, it is natural not to waste it. Therefore, it is still necessary to build a village from the original cottage. .

Of course, this is also in the planning. The island in the lake originally wanted to plant tea trees, but the tea trees still need people to take care of them. It is just right to house a village.Making the island self-sufficient is of course the best thing to do.

There are many families destroyed by water bandits on the island. They have no relatives and friends outside, so they voluntarily stay and build their own villages.Especially knowing that the field belongs to me, and all I need to do is to take care of the tea trees, and the annual tea picking wages are calculated separately, so I will not have any objections.

Naturally, Situ Changfeng didn't have to do these things by transporting people, blocking waterways, and clearing up bandits. After making arrangements, he returned to Yuezhou with the first group of people.After all, news has come from the city that although the rebellion is over, there are still many things to do, especially the people of the aristocratic families in the city, and the hearts of the people need to be appeased.

…………

"Everyone, Xie Zhi, the governor of the county, colluded with the water bandits. While the army was going out, he intended to attack Yuezhou, eliminate this official and you, and then push them all to the water bandits. This matter has been found out. The bandit’s confession, and last night Xie Zhi led Xie’s servants to attack the city together, presumably many people already know about it.” Situ Changfeng said with a gloomy face.

"The subordinates already know, and I'm really ashamed. Xie Zhi is stalking our Jiangnan family, but the governor, the subordinates guarantee their wealth and life. This matter has nothing to do with our other families." Zhang Yong quickly assured.

You must know that although they are divided into Jiangdong and Jiangnan, in the eyes of outsiders, they all belong to the Jiangnan family.Now that they have just hooked up with Situ Changfeng, and the tea plantation has just started, if Situ Changfeng finds someone else to cooperate with him because he suspects the Jiangnan family at this time, then they will only cry.

You must know that the most important tea production is still in the hands of Situ Changfeng. Otherwise, there are so many tea trees for so many years, but there is no market, and it is impossible to avoid Situ Changfeng's sales, otherwise people will make a bigger one every minute. tea leaves come out.

Of course, this is only part of it. The wool and cotton resources in Situ Changfeng's hands are also the financial resources needed by the gradually declining Jiangnan family.

"These officials also know that some families did it, so they will explain it to His Majesty." Situ Changfeng said lightly.

"Thank you, Commander!" Zhang Yong clasped his fists in gratitude, and Situ Changfeng solved another biggest problem for him. This favor from the Jiangdong Four Families has the same essentials, and it's not small.

"Having said that, Xie Zhi's family has been detained and awaiting His Majesty's instructions. In addition, I don't want such things to happen in the future, otherwise don't blame me for being unpredictable." Situ Changfeng glanced at , continued to say, the benefits have been given, but the beating still needs to be beating.

"Your official understands!" Zhang Yong, Zhu Xiao, and the others couldn't help but feel tense when they were swept away by Situ Changfeng's cold eyes, and quickly answered respectfully, not daring to look down upon them.

"The main force of the water bandits in the lake either died or were arrested, and the rest were also besieged on the island, so you have to work hard in the past few days, and you must properly resettle the people." Situ Changfeng nodded in satisfaction and continued. .

"Your subordinates obey! Dare I ask the governor, how should ordinary water bandits be dealt with, whether they should be sent to the army according to the Tang law, or what?" Zhu Xiao asked.

"Since these gangsters are doing harm to neighbors, then let them pay the price and undergo labor reform according to their crimes!" Situ Changfeng replied, the free labor force must not be let go, now he hopes that there will be more water bandits, the better. They are all waiting to be caught on the island.

"What is reform through labor?" Zhang Yong asked in confusion.

"Reform through labor, no matter whether it is exile or imprisonment, is not enough to punish their crimes, so labor reform must be carried out to make them useful to Datang." Situ Changfeng said righteously.

Well, isn't it free and long-term labor? Of course there is no problem. Anyway, in the eyes of these aristocratic families, the common people are not important.

"The governor is wise!" Everyone quickly flattered.

A notice was issued to reassure the people, and the people were all very happy when they learned that the water bandits in Dongting Lake had been wiped out.Many people rushed to tell each other, and there were cheers everywhere, and many people kowtowed to thank outside the Governor's Mansion. After all, there are not many people who have not been bullied by water bandits for so many years.

Solving the water bandits is the most important thing in the two states. Only then can Situ Changfeng develop the internal affairs with peace of mind, so once the matters in the city are settled, he rushes to the lake again the next day.

There is basically no problem with the four water bandit islands, they just need to pay them one by one, and Du He and Zhang Wang will cooperate to complete this matter. What Situ Changfeng cares about is the other islands.

According to the interrogation, the killer that night was actually the famous Blood Killer, and his base was in Dongting Lake. This was very unexpected news.After Situ Changfeng found out, he arranged for A Niu, Bai San, and Ma Zhan to lead guards and surround them.He has not forgotten that this is not the first time this organization has assassinated him. It is not his character not to avenge himself.
