Li Xing was not stupid either. He only said that Li Hu assassinated Yun Chao and did not make the collusion between him and Dong Chuan public.
According to the confessions of several black-hooded men, Dong Chuan's identity was unusual. He seemed to be the cousin of Supervisor Dong in Dongping Mansion.
Regardless of whether Dong Chuan is really related to the military supervisor of Dongping Mansion, it is not appropriate to make the matter a big deal now.
Youdao is to help relatives but not to help. No matter what, it is true that Yun Chao killed the Dongping Army people.
Once the incident becomes public knowledge, Supervisor Dong will definitely find trouble with Yun Chao, otherwise how can he appease his subordinates?
Yun Chao's head is not that big now, and he cannot fight against the entire Dongping Army.
What's more, Dong Chuan's assassination of Yun Chao might have been ordered by his cousin, Supervisor Dong.
Before coming, Li Xing had asked Yun Chao for instructions and knew which level of words was more appropriate.
According to Yun Chao's wishes, Li Xing not only arrested Li Hu and a few of his thugs, but also everyone in Qingyang Camp!
Li Hu still had some backbone and was whipped three times before he confessed.
They were recruited here and there, and all the soldiers who were still in the Qingyang camp were implicated.
This was not a trick made by Li Xing. What Li Hu said was basically true, and he did not accuse those ruffians unjustly.
Thus, a larger interrogation began.
Since he is a soldier, he is not just a gangster.
They did murder and arson, rape women, and plunder. They did things that bandits did, and they also did things that bandits didn't do.
The army is a bandit with a license. In troubled times, Qingyang camp is enough without raising the flag to rebel. We can't force too much.
These days, not only the Qingyang Camp, but also the Dawu Dynasty's army is almost the same.
Otherwise, where would there be so many rebels?
How many people are willing to live a life of licking blood with the tip of a knife if they can live peacefully and docilely?
To be honest, Qingyang Camp has almost become the private army of Ding County Cheng.
In the past few years, Dingxian Cheng has made countless benefits by using Qingyang Camp.
Qingyangying didn't know how many bad things he had done for Dingxian Cheng.
However, all this has passed.
Now that Yun Chao is in charge, he will naturally not let this happen again.
Now that we have taken action against Qingyang Camp, there is no reason to be more lenient. We will kill those who deserve to be killed and those who deserve to be arrested. Isn’t free labor a good thing?
However, there is no need to hold a public trial for this kind of matter.
After all, Yun Chao is still the acting commander of Qingyang Battalion. Making Qingyang Battalion's reputation too bad will not be of any benefit to Yun Chao himself.
Not holding a public trial meeting does not mean that Yunchao will waste resources.
It is still necessary to gather the boys under his command and conduct a small-scale trial.
Let all the boys see how bad the army of the Wu Dynasty was, and what happened to these ruffians. It can also sound a warning to them, let them have more respect, and think more about it when they want to do bad things in the future. What I saw and heard today!
Yun Chao began to recruit troops while eliminating hidden dangers in Qingyang Camp.
This time, Yun Chao recruited no longer teenage seeds, but serious soldiers.
It takes too much to train a half-grown boy. Yun Chao has limited energy and does not have so much time and financial resources.
Originally, Yun Chao had no plans to expand his military strength so early.
It is too expensive to raise an army.
Raise an army that is out of work, and the money will flow out like running water!
Unfortunately, Dong Chuan from the Dongping Army jumped out, forcing Yun Chao to start a violent attack now.
If Supervisor Dong fails to uphold military ethics and ends up personally, it will be difficult for Yun Chao to deal with it without soldiers.
Yun Chao did not recruit tens of thousands of soldiers at once. That would be unrealistic and unaffordable.
For the first batch, Yunchao plans to recruit 800 people.
Then he selected 200 people from the 400 boys under his command, and gathered together a thousand people to form two battalions of 500 people.
The remaining two hundred boys serve as Yunchao's guards or mobile troops.
Once there is an emergency military situation, thousands of local warriors can be temporarily recruited.
With 1,200 well-trained regular troops and thousands of trained local warriors, Yun Chao is confident that he can give it a go against the Dongping Army!
The Dongping Army is nominally 2,500 strong.
But according to several black hoods, the actual number of people was not that large.
This is free money.
There are 2,500 soldiers on the roster, and the court's military pay is based on the 2,500 soldiers.
In fact, there are only 1,500 soldiers. When distributing military pay, just pay according to the actual number of soldiers, and the remaining military pay can be put into the pockets of the generals.
In addition to eating empty pay, they also drank the blood of soldiers.
When soldiers are paid, they are not paid according to regulations. They should have been paid two taels a month, but now they are only paid one, two, five, or even one tael.
The rest was naturally put into the general's pocket.
During the Great Wu Dynasty, it was normal for officers to eat empty pay and drink the blood of soldiers.
Otherwise, where would the money come from to live in debauchery, and where would the money come from to honor the superior?
As the saying goes, if you don't run and don't send it away, you will degrade it for use; if you just run it and don't send it away, you will stay where you are; if you run and send it away, you will promote it and reuse it.
You don't even give gifts to Shangguan, what kind of trouble are you trying to make, and who are you looking down on?
Not to mention others, it is Yun Chao. Even though he has the political achievements of capturing many bandits, he still does not have to rely on gifts to get equipment, and he does not have to rely on gifts to be promoted to county captain.
Do you still want to be an official if you don’t have any money? It’s better to go back to the countryside and farm as soon as possible, lest you die without knowing how you died!
The Dongping Army is an army with fine traditions. The glorious tradition of eating empty pay and drinking the blood of soldiers has not been lost.
Pan Guiying's father Pan Yong cannot do this.
When he was the commander of the Qingyang Camp, he was not very good at receiving empty pay, and he did not drink much blood from the soldiers.
As a result, he became an alien in the eyes of other generals, and lost his life in confusion.
Yun Chao's recruitment of troops is just to take precautions before it happens, and does not necessarily mean he will actually fall out with the Dongping Army.
After all, if he could become the head of the Dongping Army, Inspector Dong couldn't be an idiot.
If he really wanted to attack Yun Chao, he would have done it secretly. It was unlikely that he would fight Yun Chao with open swords and guns.
Although not as strict as the recruitment of previous batches of boys, Yun Chao's recruitment this time is also conditional, and not just anyone can come if they want to.
The first is that you must have worked as a helper under Yun Chao.
Whether in Wolong Village, Sanshui Town, or Woniu Town, as long as you have worked as a helper for thirty days in total, you can sign up.
The second is the age limit.
Must be over fifteen years old, but not older than twenty-five.
It is not easy to train qualified soldiers, and Yun Chao does not intend to let them retire in two or three years.
As the manpower is still sufficient, the age limit should be stricter so that the soldiers can serve as long as possible.
Yun Chao wanted to see if the quota could be filled under these two conditions.
If he can't recruit even 800 people, it won't be too late for Yun Chao to consider other methods!
