【Chapter 406】Entering the City, Chapter 3 of the Law
(0406) The White Clothes Army entered Ningxia City, and there were many things to do. [No pop-up novel network] is such a big city, and it is estimated that many people are not psychologically prepared for it. Under the ecstasy, the inner ** is easily released instantly, so as to do something irrational. Specifically, it is to rob property, to rob houses, to rob women. In order to compete for all kinds of resources, it is possible to fight internally and make a big move, so that both sides will lose.
As far as Xu Xingxia knows, such examples are really common. The peasant uprisings of all dynasties and dynasties were accompanied by crazy ** and crazy looting. Except for a very small number of disciplined troops, the rest of the troops, as long as they conquer the town, will follow with one word: rob! No matter what it is, as long as it is what you like, you have to grab it. If you can't grab it, it's easy for a conflict to erupt.
For such a situation, Xu Xingxia was psychologically prepared and took some basic precautions. He believed that after the white-clothed army entered the city, there would not be such a chaotic situation where there was no way to control the situation. For this reason, before entering the city, he greeted all the hundreds of households in the steward's council, as well as the commanders of the various troops under his jurisdiction. The core of this greeting is that all takeover work must be carried out under orderly control, and there can be no unstoppable chaos and no swarm of out-of-control.
Of course, it is impossible to be completely free of chaos, to be completely meticulous, and to be completely meticulous and to make no mistakes. The discipline of the white-clothed army was, to a certain extent, guaranteed. Xu Xingxia believed that the white-clothed army would never participate in the looting. For the orders issued by themselves, they also strictly abide by them and do not discount them. However, those military households who came to help in the war were more complicated. Whether his orders can effectively restrain each of them will need to be tested by time. For the time being, Xu Xingxia did not dare to be overly optimistic.
This time, the white-clothed army attacked Ningxia City, and the military households who came from all directions to participate in the battle were estimated to be 50,000 or 60,000 people. With so many military households gathered together, it is absolutely impossible to say that there is no difficulty in managing them. Even if there are hundreds of families in the stewardship council, they are experienced, and it is quite difficult to completely settle these people. They were not military households from the Black Mountain Battalion, and they had not been under the direct jurisdiction of Xu Xingxia before. When they came to Ningxia City, in addition to participating in the war, there were some other purposes, no one can say.
There is no doubt that there is no need to doubt their rebellious enthusiasm, and their hatred of the government cannot be doubted. When the white-clothed army entered the city, they also entered the city. If they encounter an enemy, they use sticks or weapons they pick up to fight them until they destroy them. It can be said that these 50,000 or 60,000 military households poured in like a tide, and basically, no matter how many enemies they had, they were drowned.
However, their motivations for enthusiasm are more debatable. It is true that many people came with a simple mentality of rising up and resisting, and to paraphrase the words of later generations, it was simply high revolutionary enthusiasm. However, it is certain that many of them came to Ningxia City with the psychology of fishing in troubled waters, and left if they wanted to catch a handful. When fighting, they are not active, but when it comes to looting, they are very brave.
What Xu Xingxia wants to prevent is this kind of person. They can't destroy the entire city of Ningxia because of their selfish desires. They ruined not only themselves, but everyone else. At the beginning, when Huang Chao entered Chang'an, it was because he did not do a good job of relevant precautions, and as a result, everything changed. When everyone woke up drunk, Tang Jun's counterattack was already under their noses. Such a stupid thing should not happen in Ningxia City.
"I declare that from now on, Ningxia City will be under military control! Three chapters of the military-civilian covenant! The murderer dies, the wounder and the thief are guilty! In Ningxia City and the surrounding areas, no unauthorized killing! For those who have committed the most heinous crimes, they must be tried by the adjudication committee and a punishment decision must be made! It is forbidden to lynch anyone, in any form, in any way, against anyone! All kinds of property and materials in Ningxia City are in a state of protection, and no one is allowed to destroy, rob, or steal without permission! Violators will be severely punished! ”
"I declare that from now on, martial law will be imposed in Ningxia City! From the beginning of the evening to the morning hour, no one is allowed to appear on the street! If you violate it, you will be arrested! If you find any elaboration or espionage, please report it to the White Army immediately! Those who have merit will be rewarded! Those who have reformed themselves, or who voluntarily surrendered, can be exempted from punishment! ”
"I declare that from now on, all order in Ningxia City will return to normal. All shops, markets, handicraft yards, freight yards, etc., should be open for business. Merchants are not allowed to raise prices, force them to buy and sell, they are not allowed to hoard, and they are not allowed to smuggle people! Violators will have their illegal gains confiscated and severely punished! The people must not loot supplies and artificially create tension! ”
After entering Ningxia City, Xu Xingxia successively promulgated three most basic decrees. Announcements, large and small, were soon plastered all over the streets and alleys of Ningxia City. He then patrolled the streets with the white-clad army and personally supervised the implementation of the decree. has the nickname of Xu Laomo, and his order, in Ningxia City, there are still few people who dare to disobey. For Xu Xingxia's archery, who is not very taboo? Unless it's going to die, who wants to touch Old Devil Xu's moldy head head-on? The original chaos quickly subsided.
Of course, during this period, there were also some characters who acted as annihilators and fished in troubled waters. These people are all the original ruffians and hooligans in Ningxia City, taking advantage of the chaos, they robbed houses, burned and looted pits to deceive, annihilated silver women, and once pretended to be white-clothed soldiers. After the battle, the stewards gradually intervened, organizing the generals and families to exercise self-government. These people were gradually arrested. For their processing results, it is naturally short and flat. Just one word: kill! One by one, people's heads hung up, and the others didn't dare to think anymore.
For a murderous demon king like Gao Jie, Xu Xingxia ordered him to be transferred directly to the Bayannur grassland, and let him go crazy to slaughter the Tatars. Xu Xingxia estimated that after the white-clothed army conquered Ningxia City, it would inevitably be besieged by officials and troops from all walks of life. At that time, the cunning Tatars are very likely to make a move against the Bayannur steppe. Just let Gao Jie take the mastiff cavalry to reinforcements. By the way, it is also the means of the murderous demon king, so that the Tatars can have a good insight, don't think that only they know how to kill, the white-clothed army also understands.
This is also a small reminder for the interior of the White Army. In the battle with the official army, it is better to kill less unnecessarily. After all, they are all their own people. The more ferocious you kill, the weaker the Han people's armed forces will be. In the face of external aggression, the weaker the ability to resist. The end result is most likely to be cheaper for outsiders. The Three Kingdoms slaughtered and killed, and the population plummeted, and finally led to the Wuhu Chaos and the Huaxia Shenzhou, which was dark. The Huangchao Rebellion was also a killing and killing, and finally led to five dynasties and ten countries, which was also a chaos.
In fact, Li Zicheng's uprising at the end of the Ming Dynasty, as well as the civil strife in the Republic of China, greatly cheapened the invaders. As the so-called crabs and mussels compete, the fishermen profit. If Chongzhen's main energy was not on suppressing Li Zicheng, how could the Manchu Tartars have a chance to enter the customs? If Chang Kaishen hadn't fought to the death with a group of warlords and bigwigs, where would Xiao Yueben have the opportunity to infiltrate step by step? The Southern Song Dynasty has persisted for so long!
It can be seen that the success of the foreign invaders was entirely due to the internal strife of the Han people themselves. Without the infighting of the Han Chinese, the invaders would not have had a chance at all. The Southern Song Dynasty is a typical example. Because there was no major internal turmoil, even if there was only half of the country, and the ministers were still in power, the emperor was mediocre, and the foreign enemy was eyeing him, it also supported a full 150 years. Besides, in the future generations, we can even fight back with the joint [***], what else can't we do?
In fact, most of the officers and soldiers still have some yearning for the white-clothed army. Especially those guards who make up the number, they are basically the same group as the white-clothed army. Their wishes, their hopes, are exactly the same as those of the White Army. As long as you do some ideological work properly, you can transform them into people in the white army. Of course, if it's those who are privately armed with them, they are exempt. They are unlikely to convert.
After about half a day, the order in Ningxia City returned to normal one after another. Some shops have already taken the initiative to open for business. Of course, there are still not many people who are willing to come to buy supplies. On the streets, except for the white-clad soldiers on patrol, there was no one else in sight. Most of the people of Ningxia City, to be honest, haven't woken up from the shock. In just a few days, Ningxia City has changed owners! All of this is coming so fast! What does the future hold? No one knows!
All the important buildings in Ningxia City have been sealed and waiting to be processed. There are sentinels standing guard at the door. The people of the Qingwang Mansion ran away, the people of the governor's yamen also ran away, the people of the chief military officer yamen also ran away, and the yamen of the Ningxia prefect ...... Didn't run away. Zuo Guangdou was captured. He was escorted to Xu Xingxia. He was the only official above the fifth rank captured by the white-clothed army after breaking the city. Other officials above the fifth grade, including Xu Xingxia's original boss, the commander of Zuotun Weiwei, and the one who was sick in bed all the year round, all ran away.
The current Ningxia City can be described as a piece of refreshing, the original black smoke miasma, leftover water, all gone. Except for Zuo Guangdou, the original rulers all ran away. All they left behind was a white land. Everything needs to be built from scratch. This is definitely in line with Xu Xingxia's wishes. Only by starting from scratch and building your own management system can you avoid pollution. Otherwise, there is no difference from the [***] system of the imperial court. If the foundation of the white-clothed army is to be solid, it must start from Ningxia City.
"Xu Xingxia! You rebel thief! Come to a sticky end! Zuo Guangdou scolded.
Gao Meng raised his scimitar and was about to slash him with one sword. For these civilian officials, the military households really don't have a good impression at all, and they say that they will cut it. The three chapters of the covenant promulgated by Xu Xingxia were aimed at ordinary military households, and were not included in them for the original officials. Now, the White Coats are searching everywhere for the remaining officials. If they are caught, there will be no good fruit to eat. The anger of those military households was vented on them.
Xu Xingxia didn't mean to kill Zuo Guangdou immediately. There is no need. This guy has the ability to do things, and his bones are also very hard, and he wants him to contribute to himself, but I'm afraid that there is no possibility. In other words, it is impossible to convince him. This kind of thankless thing, Xu Xingxia is too lazy to do. However, this guy is the backbone of the Donglin Party, and he has close ties with many bigwigs of the Donglin Party. He waved his hand casually and said, "Let's go down!" Useful later! ”
Gao Meng put the knife back into its sheath and ordered Zuo Guangdou to be dragged down. Zuo Guangdou refused to leave, trying to continue to scold Xu Xingxia. His surname is indeed very strong, the kind that would rather die than give in. Otherwise, he would not have fought with Wei Zhongxian in the future. However, in front of Xu Xingxia, he had almost no ability to resist. Because, the white-clothed soldiers around Xu Xingxia are the ones who hate civilian officials the most. He struggled for a while, and the white-clothed soldiers around him became very impatient. Someone directly whipped Zuo Guangdou's two ear scrapers, almost knocking him unconscious.
Rao is like this, Zuo Guangdou still said stupidly: "Xu Xingxia, you dog thief ......"
Gao Meng slammed a knife into his back, knocking him unconscious. The force he used this time was a bit too big, and he almost broke Zuo Guangdou's bones. The surrounding white-clothed soldiers, one on the left and right, took Zuo Guangdou away directly.
"Let's go! Let's go to Qingwangfu first! Xu Xingxia waved his hand, took his own people, and continued to move forward. He needs to personally inspect important buildings to see if they are in good condition. Seeing the subtleties and preventing the subtlety, he hopes to accurately capture the movements of Ningxia City through his own eyes. Qingwangfu is the most luxurious building in Ningxia City, representing the powerful status of Ningxia City. It would be a pity if the Qingwang Mansion was burned down by a fire.
Soon, he came to the door of King Qing's mansion. The last time I came to Qingwangfu, it used to be full of people, and there were a large number of guards standing at the door. This time, the door was deserted, only guarded by two sentries of the white-clothed army. The strange thing is that vaguely, from the inside of King Qing's Mansion, there was actually the sound of reading loudly. That's right, it's the sound of reading. Xu Xingxia stood at the door, convinced that he had heard correctly.
