Chapter 407 The Origin of the Bandits

Sure enough, as Zhao Yiming expected, those people were killed by the guards in just a short time of incense, while only a few of them were slightly injured.

But he found that everyone looked very solemn, and he asked hesitantly: "What is the origin of these people, and why do you feel so worried?"

Feng Guankui said on the side: "I didn't pay attention at the beginning. After the fight just now, I can be sure that these people are gangsters. This is just their tentative attack. What will follow will be endless harassment. Finally, at the appropriate place A full blow. Bandits have always been a major headache for the empire, but it’s a pity that there has never been a solution.”

When Lu Tao saw that Zhao Yiming still looked puzzled, he explained: "The Ma bandits are the product of the defeat of Changling. At that time, because the empire's strength was severely damaged, it could not take care of the people here at all.

The Empire of the Rising Sun wanted to adopt a high-pressure policy, so the people rose up to resist. As a result, the two sides continued to fight, which indeed caused a lot of trouble for the Empire of the Rising Sun.

It can be said that the Ma bandits at that time also received support from major aristocratic families and even the empire. And the linen clothes they wore were also a form of mourning for themselves, showing their determination to fight to the death. "

Jiang Jianxin said in a deep voice on the side: "It should be said that the Ma bandits at the beginning can definitely be called heroes, but it is a pity that after they were defeated, they began to flee to the empire.

Unexpectedly, they would not change their banditry, and they would burn, kill, loot, and commit all kinds of evil here in the empire. The empire also sent people to encircle and suppress them several times.

But these people are very cunning. They usually hide in the village, just like ordinary people. When the encirclement and suppression troops withdraw, they come out again to cause trouble.

It can be said that when they take off their sackcloth, they become ordinary people, but when they put on sackcloth, they become sack bandits, and the empire cannot kill all the people, so it has a lot of headaches. "

When Zhao Yiming heard this, he felt that this was just like the Somali pirates in his previous life. Even if the civilians were bandits, they would only be a headache for anyone.

Feng Guankui said at this time: "Master Zhao has always had amazing strategies. I wonder if there is any way to solve the problem."

Zhao Yiming thought for a while and said: "It is indeed difficult to solve them, but it is not impossible, but it will take a long time."

Sun Yungang happened to come over, and he immediately asked: "I don't know what the solution is. It doesn't matter if it takes longer."

Zhao Yiming nodded and said: "If you want to completely eliminate the bandits, you need a three-pronged approach. I believe that every time you suppress the bandits, they can escape. There must be someone inside you who has tipped off the bandits.

Therefore, the first step to take is to move all the aristocratic families in the area where bandit activities are rampant. Those who do not want to leave will be directly exterminated, all officials will be taken down, and the army will take over directly.

In this way, the ears and eyes of the horse bandits were completely eliminated, and then several important leaders of the horse bandits were offered heavy rewards, and at the same time, experts were sent to kill them at all costs.

Bloody methods must be used. Wherever bandits are rampant, bloody suppression will be carried out. Since the bandits do not separate their families, then a system of continuous sitting will be implemented, and one person will be the bandit and the whole village will kill them.

This also eliminates the possibility of the leader of the bandits escaping. As long as these leaders are killed, the bandits will become nothing more than a mob. They will naturally fall into civil strife and divide into multiple factions.

Then a gentle policy will be adopted, and the entire area will be exempted from taxes for at least ten years. This tax exemption is not for aristocratic families, but directly for the common people.

Because all the aristocratic families have been relocated, their land will be divided so that everyone can eat as long as they work. I believe that on the one hand, there is iron-blooded suppression, and if one person is a bandit, the whole village suffers. On the other hand, as long as you work hard, you can have enough food and clothing. I believe any normal person knows how to choose. And this directly cuts off the root of the bandits. "

These people were horrified when they heard this, but if they thought about it carefully, what Zhao Yiming said was definitely a solution, but there were many problems in it, which could affect the whole body.

Zhao Yiming coughed and continued: "We have three problems here. The first is how to kill the officials behind them. I believe they directly attacked our team. Everyone should know who is behind them."

Feng Guankui retorted: "Although the eldest prince is more ruthless, I believe he will not collude with the bandits, but it is really hard to say for his people.

But as long as the situation is explained to the eldest prince, he should also put the empire first. In this matter, I think the eldest prince will be the vanguard. "

Zhao Yiming continued to nod and said: "The second point is how to find the leader of this bandit. You have been dealing with them for so many years, but you have not been able to catch the leader."

Lu Tao thought for a moment and said: "We only know that the leader of the Ma Bandit is named Ma Fei, and he has eight more blockers. The specific names are not clear.

But there must be brave men under heavy rewards. As long as we provide high officials and generous salaries, I believe that these desperadoes in the world will naturally help us find them and bring their heads back. "

Jiang Jianxin also agreed and said: "I completely agree with Mr. Lu's point of view. This snake has its own way, and the rat has its own way. We can't find it, but it doesn't mean that these desperadoes can't find it either."

Zhao Yiming nodded again, and then said: "The last thing is related to the major families. They need to relocate these families and distribute their land to the people. This involves how to resettle them."

Everyone was silent at this time, because it involved the division of interests. If these aristocratic families were moved to their own place, it would inevitably compress their own interest space, which would be detrimental to the family.

Zhao Yiming shrugged his shoulders and said: "This is the most difficult point. If you can't do this, the previous efforts will be useless, and the banditry problem will never be solved."

Zhang Xinglong also came over with Ibertha at this time. Ibertha blinked her big beautiful eyes and said: "Actually, those aristocratic families don't have nowhere to go. They can be moved back to Xinjiang."

We back to Xinjiang have always been very interested in various productions in the empire, especially various technologies. However, since we have a lot of land there, we can give it to them several times.

Zhao Yiming shook his head and said: "Then I don't know if we are raising tigers for trouble. If you return to Xinjiang, obtain these technologies, and develop with the help of these aristocratic families, it may not be a good thing."

Ibertha chuckled and said, "You have a quick mind, but there are actually ways. When I go back, I can persuade my father to set aside an area for you to live alone."

Sun Yungang narrowed his eyes and made a decision in his heart.
