In the battle of Qianyuanzong, only a few people in Zhao Yun's army suffered casualties.
Ever since Ying Yuan ordered a bloody massacre against the underworld forces in Xuanhe states, until now.
Two full days have passed.
In the past two days, more than fifty underworld forces, large and small, have been eradicated by Lai Junchen and others.
There is only one day left, and I must report to Ying Yuan.
Therefore, Lai Junchen and his men must make good use of the limited time to wipe out other underworld forces and those who have escaped the net.
at the same time.
The people from all over Xuanhe Prefecture began to speak freely about the imperial court's campaign against the bandits.
In Yangliu County.
In a teahouse.
Several old men were whispering:
"I heard that the current emperor, when passing through Xuanzhou, heard about the Qianyuan Sect's atrocities and sent a large army to wipe them out?"
"I've also heard about this matter. Your Majesty, please be considerate of the people! Otherwise, we don't know how long we will be persecuted by the Qianyuan Sect."
"I used to only hear that His Majesty the Emperor was a tyrant... but now it seems those were all rumors! How could an emperor willing to rule for the people be as the rumors say?"
"Yes, when the Chu State invaded before, it was said that they had an army of several million, but they were also repelled by your Majesty's troops. Your Majesty is a wise ruler!"
"It is His Majesty who has given the people of Yangliu County a way out. Everyone, I propose that we serve tea instead of wine today in honor of His Majesty!"
“…”
Scenes like this often occur in Xuanhe and other states.
Almost all of them praised Ying Yuan for his wisdom.
The local people have suffered from the underworld forces for a long time.
Now the imperial army is here to suppress the bandits, and the people don’t have to contribute money or effort.
Good things like this are rare in ancient and modern times.
This is all thanks to the wisdom and power of His Majesty the Emperor!
If Ying Yuan heard these things, he would probably be furious.
The next day.
late at night.
Lai Junchen came to report.
The heads of more than 60 gang leaders in Xuanhe and Hezhou were brought back.
Ying Yuan didn't even look at them and ordered his men to feed the heads to the dogs.
Then, he smiled and patted Junchen on the shoulder, saying with certainty:
"I knew it was easy for our ruthless officials of the Great Qin Dynasty to deal with a few small underworld forces."
Now, he is still immersed in the scene where people from all over the country cursed him for being a tyrant after knowing this.
Fortunately, he did not go to the nearby city to rest.
Otherwise, if he heard some of the people's discussions, he would probably be furious on the spot.
"I am fortunate to have fulfilled my mission."
Lai Junchen was naturally very happy to hear the emperor's praise.
As an official in the court, I am not afraid of having things to do, but I am afraid of having nothing to do.
Civil and military officials, regardless of their rank, had to go through all the trouble, even begging for help, if they wanted to get a job.
After all, only by having a job and doing it well can the people above you see your abilities.
This is the only way to have opportunities for promotion.
Otherwise, there are so many talented people in the court, and most of them are in their prime.
How long will it take before I can get promoted?
"After my southern tour is over, I will return to Xianyang and will naturally reward you handsomely.
The soldiers were tired these days, so they were ordered to have a good rest.
Tomorrow at noon, we will continue our journey to Jiangning."
Ying Yuan said slowly.
After hearing this, everyone bowed without hesitation and said, "We obey your command!"
......
The next morning.
The soldiers were busy making fire and cooking.
Because in a few hours, they will have to start their long journey again.
The next destination is Jiangning.
Jiangning is a town that is no less important than Suzhou and Hangzhou.
Even from a political perspective, Jiangning is superior to Suzhou and Hangzhou.
There are twelve prominent families in the Jiangnan area.
They are known as the "Twelve Clans of Jiangnan".
Normally, the twelve tribes are allies.
Just like five fingers put together, indestructible.
These twelve families, taken individually, are no match for the five great families.
But if they join forces, unless three of the five major families join forces, they will have no chance of winning.
However, the influence of these twelve families on certain aspects is far less than that of the five major families.
For example, the economy.
That is why the imperial court believed that the Twelve Tribes of Jiangnan would not pose a negative threat to the country.
The Twelve Clans have never considered making money as their mission.
Instead, he reads books and protects the safety of the people.
The twelve tribes are:
The Qian family, the Lu family, the Su family, the Zhu family, the Zhang family, the Xie family, the Yu family, the Zheng family, the Wu family, the Yu family, the Xu family, and the Ding family.
The twelve families are spread throughout the entire Jiangnan Road and part of the Huainan Road.
The ancestral precepts of the five great families generally teach their descendants not to squander the family fortune, but to work hard to earn money and take it as their responsibility to revitalize the family.
The ancestral teachings of these twelve families can be summed up in one sentence.
That is to let future generations read.
The "books" here are not just about the imperial examinations.
It encompasses everything, including all the contents of various schools of thought.
In other words, the five major families are mainly merchants.
The twelve families are truly scholarly families.
As a member of the Twelve Families, it’s okay not to read the books of sages, but you must study a subject.
This knowledge can be from Laozi and Zhuangzi, Mohism, Yin-Yang School, Military Science, etc.
Therefore, the people in the twelve families are generally well-educated and well-mannered, and there are few arrogant and domineering people from aristocratic families.
