Chapter 28 Summary

"Your Majesty, I'm wrong. I'm really wrong. Please forgive me, Your Majesty." After shouting a few words, he fainted. Seeing that Zhang Zongxian didn't shout to stop, the three Li family members quickly took a basin of water and poured it on the thug.

.The thug woke up after being doused. He groaned for a while and then lay on the ground with no air coming out.

After Li Jiasan finished pouring the water, he moved some of his arms, picked up the water and fire stick and hit it hard. At this moment, the entire county government office was eerily quiet, and he could only hear the thug's grunts and the slap of the water and fire stick on the flesh.

snap.

In the end, the thug was beaten to death directly in the lobby.

When the woman saw that the thug was dead in the lobby, she kowtowed to Zhang Zongxian three times, then looked up to the sky and smiled bitterly.

"My child, his father's revenge has been avenged. I will go down to accompany you two."

After saying that, amidst everyone's exclamations, he crashed into a pillar in the lobby. On the spot, he lay down in the lobby with a bloody head.

Zhang Zongxian originally thought that the woman would shout to her, Lord Qingtian, to thank him for helping her redress her injustice, but he never expected that the woman would just go away. Perhaps it was her obsession with revenge that kept her going until now, and now the big revenge has been taken.

There is no trace left of human feudal society.

At this moment, Zhang Zongxian truly felt the huge burden placed on these three words, "parents and official".

After having people carry the woman down for a proper burial, Zhang Zongxian continued to ask the people to identify Huang Shilang's gang members. In the end, twenty-three people were killed on the spot. At this time, the water and fire sticks in the yamen were soaked with blood, and the entire county yamen was filled with blood.

Angry, many people couldn't bear this scene and ran out of the county government office.

Zhang Zongxian sentenced all party members who were not identified to ten years and prepared to let them serve in corvee instead of the common people.

As for Huang Shilang's man-eating dog, he was handed over to the owner on the spot to share his food.

After dealing with Huang Shilang's gangsters, Zhang Zongxian looked at the prison boss who had been kneeling there with his head lowered. He asked him

"Do you still feel resentful at this moment? Hmm! As the person in charge of the prison, have you ever thought that you would be like this today? Huang Shilang deserves to die and you deserve to die even more. You are eating the people's support and then you go along with the tyrants to bully the people and stop them from complaining. Speak.

Ah! So silent? Didn’t you just complain?"

Zhang Zongxian was very surprised to see that he didn't say a word, so he asked Li Jiashan to go up and check.

Li Jiasan stepped forward and pushed him, and then he fell down. Li Jiasan took a closer look at the cellmate and still had no breathing. He reached out to check and reported to Zhang Zongxian.

"The county magistrate seemed to have been frightened to death. The villain checked that he had no heartbeat and had been incontinent for a while."

He died like that, and this bastard got the advantage. Then he asked the Li Family San to lead people to fire the owner of the criminal chamber.

Then Zhang Zongxian walked out of the lobby and pointed at the blood stains on the lobby and said to the common people and officials present:

"This is the fate of Huang Shilang and his accomplices. If anyone dares to rob people's land, insult the people, disregard human lives, and gather people to resist the law in the future, I will still bring them to the court. They understand how hard this yamen's stick of fire and water is."

After saying that, he took out the account books and IOUs seized from Huang Shilang's family and burned them all in front of the people present. Then he asked Qian Dianshi to read out the prepared announcement:

Ten acres of land will be compensated for the life of a relative who was killed by Huang Shilang, and five acres of land will be compensated for those who were injured or disabled.

All the people in Lechangbao moved out of Lechangbao, and their land was confiscated and sent to various villages.

There is a reward for Huang Shilang's wife, son, and housekeeper Hu Bai. Anyone who provides clues will be rewarded with a reward of 50 taels of silver, and anyone who turns it over to the Yamen will be rewarded with a reward of 50 taels of silver.

After the announcement, Zhang Zongxian went directly back to the backyard of the Yamen to rest. It was not until Zhang Zongxian left that the people began to cheer.

At this point, Huang Shilang's matter came to an end, and the Yamen continued to replace the land deeds for the people.

In the evening, Zhang Zongxian called Ding Bo and Su'e together and began to arrange the opening of Taiping. Once the land deeds are replaced, the business will be opened immediately. The matter of collecting grain and lending can be started after the training is completed. The farming tools must be ordered first. , the cattle are ready.

It has been clarified whether the customization of agricultural tools or a bidding meeting will be held. Now the nearby businesses already know how the bidding will be conducted. I believe they will definitely come to participate in the bidding. When the time comes, whoever has the lowest price and the shortest construction period will be awarded?

Don't show mercy when the time comes. Old Man Liu has helped a lot, but he has been reluctant to listen to his opinions and is unwilling to spend money to quickly expand the workshop. With his current output, he can barely make Rumi guns.

If you encounter any problems in business, you can go to him directly and ask. He told Su'e not to be afraid of making mistakes. If you make mistakes, just correct them. If you lose some money, you can consider it as a lesson learned.

When he woke up in the morning, Zhang Zongxian did not attend the morning meeting at the yamen. Instead, he ran to the school field and attended the morning meeting at the army. After the morning meeting, the commendations for those who participated in the war began.

Zhang Zongxian first commended all the soldiers and recognized their performance. Then he distributed the reward money to each participant one by one. Since Huang Shilang was injured and died of blood loss after being shot by a collective volley, the rewards were distributed equally to everyone. The rewards for the captives were equally divided among their respective teams. Basically, each person could get nine taels of silver.

After rewarding the soldier, Zhang Zongxian organized a meeting for the officers, hoping that the officers would speak one by one to summarize the successes and failures of the operation.

After everyone gathered in a circle to prepare, Zhang Zongxian spoke first:

"As the saying goes, only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win a hundred battles. Summarizing after the war is the process of knowing yourself. Only by identifying problems and improving them can we become stronger. When summarizing, it doesn't matter how big or small your official position is. You just need to tell the truth. You, the good minister, come first."

I told Liangchen in advance what I wanted to summarize, so Liangchen prepared it in advance.

"The fact that you can easily defeat Huang Shilang this time is the result of our hard training on weekdays. Without running training every morning to enhance physical strength, how could the soldiers directly go into battle after a long march? Without strict shooting training, the salvo that day It will not hit Huang Shilang and cause the enemy to collapse directly. Without the usual team attack practice, it will not be so smooth when capturing prisoners. I have finished my summary."

"What the good minister said is right, who will say it next?"

"During the march, County Lord, the common people helped carry the siege equipment so that the soldiers could conserve their strength. The craftsmen also made the ladders on site. Although they were not used, they were of great help."

"That's good. As the number of people is small now, as the number of people increases, we will need professional baggage teams and engineers. This is also the content of your future research. I will point out the direction for you, and you will be asked to do it specifically."

With others opening their mouths, they dared to speak.

The county official said that not many people were injured, but there was no doctor available at that time, so they all treated them after returning to the county town.

"There is indeed a shortage of doctors here. We will arrange them for you as soon as possible. In the future, simple first aid content will be included in the training, such as stopping bleeding and dressing wounds. We will also prepare first aid kits for you."

With three people as examples, the officers began to rush to speak.

Some people said that after the first salvo was fired, the smoke was so thick that it was difficult to see the battlefield and many soldiers forgot to reload.

Some said that some soldiers did not fire during the volley, but only fired after the volley was completed.

It was also said that many soldiers lost some equipment after the battle ended. In short, although the results of the battle were good, many problems were exposed.

Finally, Zhang Zongxian concluded to the officers: The support of the people is also the key to victory. Otherwise, how can we surround the enemy with less than 300 people? It is the siege of the people that has frightened the enemies in the fort. That salvo was just oppression.

The last straw for the enemy. Only with the support of the people can we be like a fish in water.

We will continue to recruit soldiers tomorrow and form a baggage platoon, engineer platoon, and artillery platoon. The medical team will be formed after we recruit doctors.

Finally, Zhang Zongxian asked the good ministers to lead everyone to write a post-war summary and submit a plan for a new platoon.

After that, in addition to the land belonging to the feudal lord, including the land sweeper Huang Shilang, it took a total of 23 days to replace the land deeds in the entire county.

After completing the land deed replacement, the new army's weapons were all in place and training was being stepped up. Zhang Zongxian recruited another 300 people to form a transport platoon, an artillery platoon, and an engineer platoon. Boren's cavalry team also expanded to a full force.

The company is composed of experts recruited from the grassland, and they are intensifying their training to adapt to firecrackers tactics.

After the Crouching Tiger Cannon was put in place, Zhang Zongxian came to watch the test firing. In his impression, the Crouching Tiger Cannon could only fire shotguns at close range. When he saw it on site, the range of the Crouching Tiger Cannon was 1,000 steps. Moreover, the trajectory was somewhat curved.

That mortar feeling.

When firing, the gun body must be fixed to the ground with large iron nails. Each shot can be loaded with 100 small lead or pebbles weighing 5 taels, and a large lead bullet or stone bullet weighing 30 taels is used to press the top.

Bullets, large and small, flew out together with a roar like thunder, and their lethality and radiation range were very large.

The Tiger Cannon is very light at less than 40 kilograms. Horses can carry the Tiger Cannon on their backs and maneuver. We need to build more Tiger Crouching Cannons. In field battles, use these Tiger Crouching Cannons to bully the Tatars.

For the cavalry, Zhang Zongxian wants to build an enhanced version of dragoons. He plans to equip them with sabers, riding muskets, and in the future, hand muskets. The ultimate goal is to build them into cuirassiers.

Now we will conduct shooting training to let the horses adapt to the muskets and artillery. We will wait for the development of the equipment to be completed.

During this period, the grain store named Taipinghao also opened. The people knew that this was the property of the county magistrate. They recognized what Zhang Zongxian did when he came to Qingjian County and sold grain to Taipinghao in exchange for official silver.

Taiping Bank also started operating soon after the opening of the grain store. Su'e ran back and forth between these two places every day. She was so tired that she couldn't stand up straight. Zhang Zongxian's nightlife was greatly affected. The common people followed the land deed.

Start paying the autumn tax at the bank in a fixed amount.

The bank's first loan was for Old Man Liu to expand his factory. The bank invited bids for 2,000 plows, but Old Liu's workshop failed to bid because the delivery time was too long. It was won by a businessman from another county. In the end, Old Man Liu still won the bid.

After thinking about it, they began to expand the workshop aggressively, and Zhang Zongxian also approved land for them to build an iron-making furnace outside the city.

Now Old Man Liu and Mr. Wang Laosan also learned about the horse market, sorted out everyone's investment, issued shares, and established business names. They were called Liu Craftsman Manufacturing and Wangjia Construction. On the day of establishment, Zhang Zongxian even went to cut the ribbon. At that time, Old Man Liu still wanted to

Zhang Zongxian asked Zhang Zongxian to write an inscription for the business name, but Zhang Zongxian refused on the grounds that his hand was not good.
