After taking a deep breath, Governor Wu Baotian had to make the decision to temporarily rely on Wei Zheng and keep his official position.

Under everyone's gaze, he said in a low tone: "Your Excellency Governor, according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, the Taiyuan prefect interfered in the sale of salt and iron, coupled with his corruption and bribery, when all the evidence of the crime is complete, he should be beheaded according to the law..."

"It's just that, according to my Ming law, all criminals who have been sentenced to beheading must all be reported to the Criminal Department, and after the rulings of the Criminal Department, they will be beheaded in the autumn... More importantly, the Taiyuan prefect is not an ordinary person, but a four-pin prefect appointed by the imperial court. ”

"Therefore, the opinion of the lower officials is: for the sake of prudence, the Taiyuan prefect should be temporarily imprisoned, and all her crimes and sentences should be reported to the Criminal Department, and after the Criminal Department's ruling is agreed, she will be beheaded after the autumn..."

At this time, it was the time for Wei Zheng to show his authority as the governor of Shanxi, and of course Wei Zheng would not let it go.

Facing Governor Wu Baotian's answer, he directly shook his head and refused: "This official can't wait that long..."

"When the emperor crowned the official as the governor of Shanxi, he gave the official a certain right to make decisions on the spot. That is to say, in the territory of Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces, all civil and military officials below the fourth rank have the right to cut first and then play. ”

"Therefore, I have decided to sentence the Taiyuan prefect to be executed immediately, and it will be executed immediately....After I am done, I will personally write a memo and report this matter to the imperial court. The official believes that the court and the emperor will never blame the official..."

Speaking of this, Wei Zheng directly ignored the angry expression on Wu Baotian's face and the shocked expressions of other civil and military officials, and ordered Wang Zhongyu, who had been standing on the side of the lobby.

"General Wang. What are you still doing? Didn't you hear what I just ordered...."

Wu Baotian, the governor of Shanxi, who had always been high, gave in. It is enough to show how correct his decision to choose to go to Wei Zheng was in the first place. So, excited, he replied loudly without thinking about it.

"Obey the Governor's Command......"

After finishing speaking, he directly ordered the guards standing at the door: "What are you still doing in a daze, immediately pull the Taiyuan prefect out, and immediately behead..."

With a series of heart-rending howls came to an abrupt end, everyone standing in the hall knew that the prefect of the imperial court, who was high in front of the ordinary people, was just because of the words of Wei Zheng in front of him. Instant death.

Thinking of this, thinking that he was not as good as the grade of the Taiyuan Prefect, in the lobby of the General Military Mansion, most of the civil and military officials showed a chilling expression of fear on their faces.

Of course, the death of the Taiyuan prefect was only the beginning.

In the next half an hour, several civil and military officials, including Taiyuan Tongzhi, all died outside the lobby of the Taiyuan General Military Mansion because of Wei Zheng's words.

After several heads were sent into the lobby of the General Soldier's Mansion in a row, there was a strong smell of blood. It has begun to spread throughout the lobby. Among the dozen or so officials, large and small, except for a few military attachés. The faces of the remaining civil officials were all pale with fright.

At the same time, they were also full of fear and awe for Wei Zheng, the governor of Shanxi, who sat on the throne.

On the training ground of the Taiyuan General Military Mansion, hundreds of Taiyuan garrisons were standing motionless, waiting for the arrival of the guards. As for the silver that everyone spent a day searching for from the major mansions, all of them were smashed into the boxes and stacked very neatly on the side of the training ground.

Of course, the more than 100 officers and men of the Haw Par Army who followed the Taiyuan garrison to attack were all standing around these boxes and were responsible for taking care of these finances. Of course, in addition to the silver, there were dozens of garrisons who wanted to steal the silver in the process of raiding their homes.

Under the leadership of Wang Zhongyu, Wei Zheng had just walked into the training ground, and his attention was attracted by these soldiers kneeling on the training ground.

Wang Zhongyu, who was following behind Wei Zheng, hurriedly knelt on one leg and pleaded with Wei Zheng: "Please forgive the Governor, it is the last general's lax discipline that leads these dozens of soldiers, who even disregard military law and fill their pockets when they raid their homes....So, please ask the Governor to surrender, and the last general is willing to accept the punishment......"

Wei Zheng waved his hand and said, "It's not your fault... There are more than 10,000 people in Taiyuan Mansion, and they can't even get all the military salaries in peacetime. Even I can't guarantee that in such a situation, everyone will be able to clean themselves and not be moved when they see the silver..."

"However, as soldiers, it is not what they should do to ignore military law..."Speaking of this, a trace of murderous aura full of chill quickly emanated from Wei Zheng's body.

Wang Zhongyu, who knelt on one leg, immediately understood that Wei Zheng, the governor who had just killed chickens and monkeys in the officialdom of Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces. It must be planned to use these dozens of soldiers to make an example in the army.

Wang Zhongyu didn't guess wrong, just when he was about to report the harvest of this raid, ready to use this to ease the anger in Wei Zheng's heart. Wei Zheng's order has already blurted out from his mouth.

"General Wang, take these soldiers who have violated military law to the barracks outside the city. In addition, he took out 200,000 taels of silver taels from this batch of silver taels and brought them to the barracks together...... ...... right away."

After the deafening sound of drums sounded in the barracks, although the sky had slowly darkened, the more than 10,000 soldiers who had been trained by Wang Zhongyu still burst the embankment to control the flood and quickly poured out of the barracks.

Soon, a phalanx appeared in front of the point general. Under the illumination of hundreds of huge braziers, although the night has fallen, the military camp of Nuoda is still illuminated.

At this time, under the gaze of more than 10,000 pairs of eyes, Wei Zheng and dozens of soldiers who were tied up by the flowers walked directly to the point of general.

shouted loudly in front of everyone: "Soldiers, this official is the governor of Shanxi who has just been crowned by the emperor, and he was ordered to come to Taiyuan to supervise military affairs and government affairs...... However, today I let this official see a scene that I really don't want to see..."

"As soldiers, in the process of being ordered to raid the homes of corrupt officials, some people disregarded military law, took money privately, and filled their pockets...everyone sued me, according to military law, how should this official deal with these people.......

In Wei Zheng's murderous roar, more than 10,000 soldiers were frightened silently.

On the training ground, where more than 10,000 people gathered, there was nothing but the crackling sound of the wind and the burning wood. Wei Zheng, who was standing on the platform, could only hear his own breathing.

Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Wei Zheng directly shifted his gaze to Wang Zhongyu, and asked mercilessly and loudly: "General Wang, what do you think should be done with these soldiers who have violated military law according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty..."

Wang Zhongyu replied with an embarrassed face: "According to military law, these soldiers should be sentenced to beheading..."

"Kill the head..."Wei Zheng nodded, and then ordered loudly: "Then what are you still doing in a daze, immediately execute these soldiers who have violated military law....I want soldiers who can abide by military discipline, not soldiers who are full of money and ignore the warlords...."

"Yes, Lord Governor..."

Under the gaze of more than 10,000 pairs of shocked eyes, more than 50 soldiers who were tied up with five flowers, and more than 50 heads, were cut off under the light of a knife.

After the execution, Wei Zheng walked up to more than 10,000 soldiers again and shouted in the loudest voice he could: "Soldiers, brothers, have you seen it....... this is the end of disregard for military law..."

Seeing that the shock on everyone's faces had been unconsciously replaced by fear, Wei Zheng's words turned around and continued to shout: "However, if the brothers train well and fight bravely on the battlefield, I... Wei Zheng, the governor of Shanxi, must ensure that everyone is rich and prosperous, and a future that does not worry about food and clothing..."

After speaking, Wang Zhongyu ordered directly behind him: "Immediately bring up all the silver I prepared..."

After dozens of boxes were lifted to the point general's platform, Wei Zheng directly opened a lid in front of more than 10,000 soldiers.

Under the light of the fire, the silver ingots shining with white light appeared directly in front of everyone.

At this time, Wei Zheng spoke again: "These silvers are the gifts that this official brought to everyone..."

"Ordinary soldiers, ten taels of silver per person, and officers are counted separately... Tonight, all the time was distributed to every soldier. In addition, this official assures everyone that from this month onwards, the Shanxi Governor's Mansion will no longer be in arrears with military salaries. ”

"In the future, everyone's salary will not only be paid in full to every soldier, but it will also be higher than the garrisons of other provinces....this is the benefit that this official will give everyone..."

Sticks and red dates are definitely the best way to lead soldiers.

Under the leadership of the commander-in-chief Wang Zhongyu, one after another earth-shattering slogans quickly sounded in the barracks.

"Swear allegiance to the Governor..."

"Swear allegiance to the Governor..."

Everyone likes to pat on the back, and Wei Zheng is no exception.

Although I don't know if the slogan shouted by everyone is sincere, from the excited expressions on everyone's faces, Wei Zheng knows that his action today was successful...

not only achieved the effect of killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys, but also bought the hearts of most of the soldiers in front of him with silver...

Wei Zheng is confident that if this goes on for a long time, it won't be long before these soldiers will become his real henchmen.

Because, for ordinary soldiers, they don't understand the big truth. If only they are given plenty of money and food to eat, these people will die for themselves. And what Wei Zheng has to do now is to tell everyone that he will give them a higher salary than other garrisons, not only that, but these military salaries are all given to them by themselves, and they have nothing to do with the imperial court.

After taking a deep breath, Wei Zheng, who looked satisfied, directly opened his mouth and ordered: "Okay, General Wang....The brothers are in a hurry, and they will send these silver taels down immediately....Remember, they must be personally distributed to each soldier." Sue the soldiers, as long as they follow the official, the official will not treat them badly. ”

"Whether it is silver or good land, the official will give it to them..." (To be continued......)
