Chongzhen Undergraduates

Many people are inquiring about the news, especially those who have taken the exam for many years and have made no achievements in the imperial examination. It is also a good way out to enter the ranks of officials.

Chapter 1: You can't kill and you can't let go

The secretariat led by Chen Zilong has been very busy recently.

The total number of officers and soldiers found to have problems in the old Huai'an army reached more than 2, which is a terrible number.

An army of more than 2 has more than [-] violators, which shows that this army has almost no value in existence.

If the situation were not so severe, it is estimated that Zhu Youjian would severely behead a group of people.

"Brother Chen, the evidence against Liu Zeqing and others has been conclusive. Should we report it to Nanjing?"

Although Huang Daozhou is old, in terms of administrative experience, he still has to follow Chen Zilong's lead.

"Let's wait, first sort out the files of all the detainees."

"What's the point of trial? It's best to directly convict and behead a group of people. These murderers should be strict and typical."

As a literati who was born in the imperial court, his status has been very low in Ming Dynasty, or since the end of Tang Dynasty.The literati are strictly guarding against these people, brilliant and bright, and finally a bunch of warlords come out.

The culture is noble and the military is cheap, which has always been a means to prevent warlords.The means adopted by the various dynasties cannot be suppression. If they have military merits, they will be given titles, and then they will be raised as pigs.

Chen Zilong hesitated when he heard Huang Daozhou's words.At least in the two months since he had been in contact with Zhu Youjian, he didn't seem to have the feeling of making a move when he saw Zhu Youjian's attitude towards Liu Zeqing.

However, no matter whether it was beheading or something else, since Liu Zeqing was arrested, the judicial process still had to go through, even if it was going through the motions as before, charging him with treason was still a must.

This is the difference between a mature regime and Ye Luzi. The emperor must have a reason to kill people, otherwise he will really become a tyrant.

"This is the decision of the cabinet and court ministers, not what low-level officials like you and me think about."

Although Chen Zilong participated in Fushe, his habit has always been pragmatic and he does not express his views easily.

"Comrades, Nanjing has come to order that we take all the personnel and the sinners of the Huai'an Army and escort them to Nanjing in batches."

Gu Yanwu rushed in excitedly, announced loudly, and handed Chen Zilong a document.Gu Yanwu was so focused on following Zhu Youjian's side that he was already impatient in Huai'an.

"The decree said, let us bring the newly recruited officials into Nanjing together. There are also detainees of the Huai'an Army, but there are more than 2 detainees in total. These are criminals. With so many people, if there is any Something happened, but what should I do?"

Since Huang Daozhou did specific administrative work, his thinking has also changed. He used to be purely academic and didn't think about these details. Now that he is an ordinary official, of course he will encounter difficulties in doing things.

Many so-called great Confucians talk a lot, but not in action. That's why Yangming's theory came out, the unity of knowledge and action.

It is a pity that although Wang Yangming's theory is good, it is not what Confucianism really needs, and it is only passed on to a small number of people.

"Since the commander-in-chief has entrusted us with the matter, we need to handle it well." Although Chen Zilong also had a headache, since Zhu Youjian had explained the matter, no matter how difficult it was, he had to find a way to do it well. This is also the Confucian idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor. .

It's just that some people will really implement it seriously, and some people will just float on the surface.

"Let's learn the way of the Black Banner Army, take the water and walk quietly." Chen Zilong thought for a while, the Black Banner Army led by Deng Zhirong before walked like this, and there was no trouble on the way.

"No, there are too many prisoners, it is inevitable that something will happen on the road." Huang Daozhou was very scared, where are the 2 people?

"Divided into two groups, Liu Zeqing and other important prisoners will travel by water. There are only more than 2000 people in this group, and we can focus on guarding them."

"You mean, put on heavy shackles?" Gu Yanwu asked, Chen Zilong nodded silently.

"The rest can go overland and assign this group of officials." Chen Zilong made amends and said, "Whether it can be done or not depends on the role of these people."

"Do you remember the new kind of united front work that the Commander-in-Chief told us about?"

"You mean, put hundreds of officials in prison and stabilize them?"

Zhu Youjian once mentioned that the Huai'an army is not the enemy of Ming Dynasty, nor can it be regarded as the friend of the imperial court for the time being, but it is necessary to try to win as many people as possible to become friends of the imperial court.

United front work is nothing more than making fewer enemies and making more friends!This is a famous saying of a certain ancestor.

Huang Daozhou has come to his senses. Apart from sending soldiers to escort them, the only way to decompress these people to Nanjing is to do ideological work.

This difficulty is not ordinary, you must know that literati themselves despise soldiers, not to mention that these people are still criminals.

If something happens, 2 people can swallow these hundreds of people alive in an instant. At that time, these people will really become enemies.

"How long is the deadline for us?" Huang Daozhou asked.

"One month."

"If that's the case, then we'd better get started."

"Brother Youxuan (Zhuang Daozhou's character) do you have any suggestions?" Chen Zilong is younger than Huang Daozhou after all, and some experience is not as good as Huang Daozhou.

"I think we should send our people down as soon as possible and make them among the criminals. Let them get to know each other first. Don't we have a daily work summary meeting here? I want to start the work first, then summarize it, and then target The problem is to compile a booklet.

It is only ten days away from here to Nanjing, and we have at least half a month to find out some work experience. "

After Huang Daozhou finished speaking, Chen Zilong understood.In terms of summarizing work, Huang Daozhou is much better than him, and he must also write administrative essays well.

"Please transfer Yan Yingyuan and the others to decompress Liu Zeqing and other serious criminals. Only they can mobilize government servants from all over the place." Huang Daozhou continued.

"I think it's feasible." Chen Zilong also felt that Huang Daozhou's method could be tried.

Several military camps outside the city are currently holding some officers of the Huai'an Army who have been found to have major or minor problems.There are a total of five such places of detention, and this is the smallest one, with just over 3000 people, belonging to mid-level military officers who are lower than senior military officers.

More than 3000 people have been crowded here for a long time. Although there are no shackles, they are also under strict supervision. After all, it is not the time when Huai'an was rampant. It feels uncomfortable to be a prisoner.

In the entire barracks, there were various fights and disturbances every day, and even large-scale fights could be formed for a bite of food.

Early in the morning, when these soldiers and junior officers were still lazily sleeping, the gate of the camp was opened, and a large group of people wearing military uniforms similar to those of the Ming Dynasty entered the gate.

"Which bloody team is this? Why are they all so skinny like monkeys?"

Someone in the barracks was dozed off by the sound of footsteps, and looked out the window sleepily.

"It's not here to chop your head off. Why do you care about so much shit. Don't disturb me when I sleep, or I will beat you up."

Another muscular man muttered impatiently.

"You mother, keep your mouth clean. Who are you?" Of course the person who spoke before was not convinced, and it's not a big deal. As for it?

"Come on, come on, if you are not convinced, let's practice now, the mother is waiting to go to the guillotine, who is afraid of whom?"

Ever since they were imprisoned here, there have long been rumors that they will be beheaded.Although Zhu Youjian did not skimp on food, the depressive atmosphere always existed.According to the usual practice, if they were to be recruited, they would have been released a long time ago, so it wouldn't last two months, and recently people have been sent to interrogate one by one.

If you don't kill your head, why should you interrogate him? .

Zhu Youjian had no intention of reorganizing this part of the Huai'an army at all. If these people were reorganized into the army like this, they would quickly lead to the destruction of low-level soldiers.

You can't kill them either. Although they have problems, they are not guilty of death.What's more, it's not just the Huai'an army that's corrupted by the Ming Dynasty today, the entire army of the Ming Dynasty is watching, killing one can drive away a hundred.
