Chapter 1374 Rectification

If it is just a city lord who has just arrived and wants to control a city, even if there are people below to cooperate, it will be difficult to do it without several years.

Therefore, whenever a local official takes office, he will do less and watch more for a period of time, slowly ponder, and wait until he is sure, and then start to play his own role.

But this back and forth takes too much time.

When the power is divided, as long as there are enough officials and there is large-scale training, it will be possible to go deep into all aspects of a place in an instant.

Zhao Cheng's training model has been implemented for eight or nine years, and a training class generally only needs half a year of classes to produce a group of students. The best part of them will continue to study, and the less capable ones will be sent to the new country to hone their skills for two to three years. If they show their ability, they will be promoted. If their ability is slightly weaker, they will be recalled to attend the intensive class for half a year.

In this process, those who performed well will be recorded. When the war breaks out, these experienced officials will go with the army. When they conquer a place, they will leave a group of them to stay there and preside over the local affairs.

At the same time, all officials are very enthusiastic about following the army.

As for the reason, it is naturally to make meritorious service. If you can make achievements in the place you have just conquered, it will undoubtedly add a bright stroke to your resume.

Even now, there is a saying in the civil service system of Daxin, that is, if you don’t have the experience of following the army, you will never be able to enter the central government in the future.

Although there is no such article in the laws of Daxin, many things are tacitly understood without writing.

If you don’t have this achievement, even if you enter the central government with the favor of the emperor, you can’t stay for long, because the upper and lower levels will not obey you.

When Jizhou was in hand, although Zhao Cheng said before that he would take over the world within two years, after taking Jizhou, Zhao Cheng did not rush to continue to send troops, but let his soldiers rest.

After all, after marching for three months, although there were few sieges except at the beginning, the long journey still made the soldiers exhausted.

While the soldiers were resting, Zhao Cheng also repeatedly convened the civil and military officials in the army to discuss matters, and conveyed again and again why they were fighting!

As for the Taoist officials, they also went deep into the army to tell the ordinary soldiers in the army about military discipline and regulations, as well as what the war was for.

This is not the end. Taking advantage of the time to rest, Zhao Cheng also punished a group of soldiers, or the second generation of the army...

Ten years is already a generation.

Even in the Yingtian Army, such a long time has bred some cysts.

Some things are impossible to prevent after all.

Those second generations grew up under the wings of their elders. They did not know the difficulties of their ancestors in starting a business, nor did they understand the sufferings of the people. Therefore, they gave birth to selfish and lawless temperaments, and many of them offended the people, so Zhao Cheng took this opportunity to deal with them together.

For those with serious crimes, the charges were read out in public and they were beheaded for public display. For those with less serious crimes, they were either exiled or dismissed from the military and demoted to civilians and never employed again.

In the new country's system, military status is a very important thing. It itself means superiority. Even if a soldier died in battle outside and sacrificed his life for the country, his merits would fall on the head of the person designated by the soldier, or even a hereditary honorary title.

With this combination of punches, the atmosphere of the Yingtian Army was also cleared.

Although this is only a temporary solution, it is enough.

As for the resentment of the people below, if the person who did this was the emperor who sat on the throne in the future, he might have to be cautious, but Zhao Cheng, as the emperor who founded the foundation, just killed him.

In fact, not only the parties involved were dealt with, but their fathers behind them were also implicated one by one, and each was demoted, and even the subsequent promotion was more difficult.

After this incident, many people who were not implicated were also shocked and frightened, and their hearts were pounding.

…

"Adoptive father, I thought that Xu Qing used to be arrogant, but today he has completely turned into a praying man. It's really ridiculous. I think he will have no face in the future. He is arrogant in front of us. I am afraid that after this incident, Your Majesty will never use him again."

In the military camp, Lin Yi's adopted son dressed as a young general in a white robe said excitedly as soon as he entered the tent.

Long ago, the Yingtian Army was divided into several factions, of which two factions were the largest. One was the Lianshanjiu Department headed by Lin Yi. This faction was mainly about people who worked hard and made great contributions and were the first to follow the start-up.

As for the other, it was the Huangtian faction headed by Xu Qing.

Xu Qing was one of the old Huang Tian subordinates brought back by Zhao Cheng. However, Xu Qing was not very prominent at that time. It was because of his meritorious service in recent years and Zhao Cheng's promotion that he became the leader of the Huang Tian generals.

Such a situation was naturally intentionally promoted by Zhao Cheng.

It is not a good thing for subordinates to be too united. Only by mutual growth and mutual checks and balances, just like yin and yang, can they continue to thrive.

Xu Qing is very arrogant and talented. He is a real talent. Compared with him, although Lin Yi is also growing, he is still a step behind. Therefore, the two have always been at odds with each other.

In the past, Lin Yi's subordinates have suffered a lot from Xu Qing's side. Now seeing Xu Qing like this, he is naturally very happy.

It turned out that in the past two days, one of Xu Qing's nephews had secretly received a treasure and a beautiful woman from a merchant in the city. In exchange, Xu Qing's nephew was asked to send two of his men over to help look after her for a few days. Gate, as for the reason, it is that there is some chaos in the city now, and thieves are taking the opportunity to cause trouble, and they want Xu Qing's nephew to help protect his family...

It's just sending two soldiers to protect someone. If they don't steal or rob, it's not a big deal.

Therefore, when Xu Qing knew this, he didn't pay too much attention.

As a result, when Zhao Cheng found out about this, he was furious and severely reprimanded Xu Qing.

"Shut up!"

Lin Yi saw his adopted son speaking more and more energetically, but he suddenly reprimanded him angrily.

"Do you know why Xu Qing kowtows?!"

"Two soldiers are actually a trivial matter. Taking treasures and beauties privately is nothing. Xu Qing is kowtowing because of this matter. The biggest problem is that public weapons are used privately!"

"Today we can mobilize two soldiers, but tomorrow we can mobilize twenty soldiers, and the day after tomorrow we can mobilize two hundred soldiers?!"

"Xu Qing just wanted to understand this, so he kowtowed in fear."

"But that's not what Your Majesty is angry about. What's angry about is that Xu Qing's nephew is too short-sighted and is just like an idiot!"

"Just two beauties and a little treasure made him lose his sense of proportion. As for Xu Qing, he has no sons. His whole family died when he followed Taoist Huang Tiandao to rebel. He only has such a nephew. Your Majesty is grateful for this, so anger."

"Now that only two soldiers have been mobilized, his nephew can still survive, but what about the follow-up?!"

"If you are not strict with your children, you might as well just leave them at home."

"Then Xu Qing has been smart all his life, but he lost his sense of proportion in this matter. He also wanted his nephew to make contributions, but he failed to teach him well!"

"As for you, think about yourself. What's the difference between you and Xu Qing's nephew? You see things too superficially!"

Ji Yi also hates that iron cannot become steel.

His adopted son at the moment was the son of his best friend. His friend took a bullet for him and died, so he kept him by his side and was influenced by his influence. But unfortunately, although this kid was brave, he had too little qualifications. Somewhat clever.
