Chapter 970: Seeing and Hearing in the First City

These cavalrymen just rode on horses to that side, that is, they were full of murderous spirit, not angry and self-assured, which gave Xu Youzhen a very depressed feeling, plus the non-stop rush for several days, and he did not rest well, his face was a little white at this time.

"Let's all step down." Yang Chendong noticed the change in Xu Youzhen, and knew that the effect of deterrence had been played, so he immediately waved his hand to Tian Hu, the commander of the First Division of the Cavalry in the world. Yes, this cavalry standing on both sides and temporarily serving as a greeting team is Tian Hu's First Division of the World Cavalry.

This is their first appearance since returning to Shiseong. In the previous time, Tian Hu had been selecting and assessing new members of the cavalry division. From the original three divisions to the current five divisions, almost half of the strength has been expanded, which is naturally a good thing for Tian Hu. But how to increase people without losing combat effectiveness is a problem he should consider.

In order to meet the requirements of each soldier's individual soldier quality and play a sufficient strength and role on the battlefield, Tian Hu personally joined in the review of the matter, and it was not easy to gather more than 4,000 people to complete the task of expanding the team.

It's just a source of more than 4,000 soldiers, but it took a few months, and from this point of view alone, the combat power of the first cavalry division in the world will only become stronger. Even Yang Chendong is also waiting to see how they will perform on the battlefield.

The first appearance of the first division of the cavalry in the world frightened the high-ranking officials sent by the Northern Ming court, and although the division commander Tian Hu looked serious, he was in a good mood. Obviously, this result made him very satisfied. Until Yang Chendong waved his hand, he led the team to continue to play their inhuman training. Xu Youzhen may be tired, or maybe afraid, and was sent to the carriage to rest, although Yang Chendong wants to know the other party's intention to come here, mainly what kind of conditions Zhu Qiyu can offer, and whether he can be moved, but now Xu Youzhen's appearance is obviously unable to talk about anything. He had no choice but to arrange it in the Chengshi Guest House, waiting for the people to rest and see him again.

Xu Youzhen had a good night's sleep, from the afternoon to the next morning, when he woke up, he felt tired and tired a lot, at this moment he can be said to be deaf and bright, and he is a hundred times more energetic.

After waking up early in the morning and changing into clean clothes, Xu Youzhen was attracted by the hawkers' shouting outside the guest house. Instead of having breakfast prepared, he decided to go out for a walk and try the local snacks.

Under the protection of a squad of soldiers, either openly or covertly, Xu Youzhen came to the street, and he saw a very prosperous scene, a street market that was no worse than the Jingshi morning market. When he saw the people dressed in the costumes of all ethnic groups walking in friendship and harmony on the wide streets, the vendors selling food, wear, use, and play were next to each other, and there were people stopping in front of each bunk, he couldn't help but ask the guide arranged for him by the guest house curiously, "How can we live together in harmony with different nationalities?" How to solve the problem of language? What happens in the event of a dispute? ”

The guide was a man of about 30 years old, who was originally a squad leader of the New First Army, who was wounded in the leg in a battle and could not gallop on his horse at will, so he retired and worked in a guest house. He has seen the world quite a lot, and he doesn't know how many visitors he has received, and he has encountered a lot of all kinds of problems, and he was not surprised by Xu Youzhen's curiosity at all, but explained enthusiastically and enthusiastically.

"Please rest assured, the language has long been regulated, and you must speak Chinese in public when you enter Shicheng, and there are special Chinese classes for everyone to learn, which is free of charge. In Shicheng, only after learning Chinese can you be allowed to do business, and when everyone speaks Chinese, there is naturally no problem of language barrier. As for once there is a dispute, there will also be a special manager to judge right and wrong. But at the same time, it is forbidden to have any brawls in the city, otherwise, no matter who is right or wrong, they will be severely punished. ”

Facing the smiling guide, Xu Youzhen first nodded and then shook her head. There are also laws in the capital, and if you do bad things and do bad things, you will be imprisoned in the criminal department, but such things can't be eliminated, why is there also a law, it seems that the security of the first city is very orderly, and even now he hasn't seen a single case of quarrel, let alone do it. Puzzled, he couldn't help but ask again, "The laws here must be very strict, right?" ”

It's no wonder that Xu Youzhen has such an idea, if the law is not strict, there will definitely be people who can't help but suppress their temperament and break the law. And only harsh methods can make everyone have to restrain their temperament under high pressure.

"That's right. The laws of the First City were quite strict. If someone makes a mistake, they will be warned at least and killed directly. The guide nodded, and replied solemnly.

"Kill the head? That's scared from the bottom of your heart. Xu Youzhen said this as the secretary of the Criminal Department. As soon as his words fell, the guide beside him shook his head, "This lord is wrong, although there is a crime of killing the head, but in fact, there are very few people who are really killed, after all, if they are not extremely vicious, they will not be sentenced to such a heavy sentence." In fact, what everyone is most afraid of is being blasted out of the First City and being ordered to never enter all the cities under the jurisdiction of the Five-Star Army, which is the most unacceptable for ordinary people. ”

"Driven away? Although this is also a heavy sentence, but people move the living tree and move the dead, and it is not necessarily a serious thing. Xu Youzhen looked disagreeing. It's just that he was blasted out of the city, isn't it often said on the rivers and lakes that there is no place to stay here, and there is a place to stay here?

"No, no. My lord, you don't know anything, but all the cities controlled by the five-star army are safe, and once you enter such a city, it is equivalent to a guarantee of safety, and this guarantee is what the people of the grassland people did not have before. They are accustomed to wandering and wandering, especially in recent years, and they are even ready to sleep at night, when they have a scimitar on their necks in the middle of the night. This makes them too insecure, and this sense of security happens to be available to everyone in the five-star army, so the right to live in the city is a rare thing for many people. ”

Speaking of this, the guide also introduced with a smile, "If you don't believe it, you can go and see if the people in the city have a relaxed smile on their faces." This is the charm of the five-star military city, because everyone knows that as long as the law is obeyed here, then no one will threaten their safety, and they can also live happily with their hands. Isn't this just [military fo] what ordinary people need? ”

A sentence that the people need, Xu Youzhen said that his face was red.

Indeed, all the people wanted was food to eat, clothes to wear, and a house to sleep on. As long as these conditions are met, they tend to become very honest and obedient. But even this simple request is not something that all regimes can meet.

The street continued to walk, watch, and observe. Sure enough, as the guide said, most of the people's faces were filled with very natural and relaxed smiles, and such smiles were not common even on the faces of the people of Beiming Jingshi.

It has been less than three years since the establishment of Shicheng, but now it is so prosperous, just at this point, Xu Youzhen has to admire Yang Chendong's ability, and he is more determined to his goal, that is, to follow Yang Chendong's footsteps and not easily waver.

After having breakfast on the street, and chatting with some people, after having a clearer understanding of the situation in Shicheng, Yang Er didn't know when he appeared beside him, "Xu Shangshu is so interested!" ”

"Ahh It's the second brother Yang, but the loyal and courageous public summoned me? At this moment, Xu Youzhen's attitude became more and more respectful.

"Not bad. I went to the guest house and found that Lord Xu was not there, so it turned out that I was here to check the people's situation, how about it? When to meet the young master? Yang Er said unhurriedly. Originally, Yang Chendong's order to him was very lenient, and everything was based on Xu Youzhen's own decision.

"Go now, go now." Xu Youzhen held a copy of Shicheng Yang Newspaper in his hand and raised his arm. From this newspaper, he has a clearer understanding of the situation in Shicheng, a clear understanding, this is indeed a thriving city in development, although the background is still a little poor, but vibrant, but people with a little insight can see its potential. In particular, Yang Bao also has a special column on current affairs, which clearly talks about the ongoing war in Sanbula Sichuan City, which is hundreds of miles away.

This kind of writing everything on the bright side, but there is not the slightest panic in the first city, just this one, which cannot be compared with today's Beiming Jingshi. Compared to the fact that the people there were afraid of war and the imperial court had to block all unfavorable news of the war, Xu Youzhen was surprised by the calmness of the people here. They are not afraid of war, what kind of courage is this, and how did Yang Chendong do it?

All of this made Xu Youzhen curious, and now he wanted to see Yang Chendong for an answer.

"Okay, please come with me, Lord Xu." Yang Er smiled, leading the way, Xu Youzhen was in the center, and many soldiers in civilian clothes appeared behind him on his left and right, protecting them very tightly. How can I say that Xu Youzhen came to represent Beiming's face, and there must be no accidents.
