No one spoke, everyone looked solemn.
"Zhang Xi."
"The general is here!"
"Using battalions as units, we will select those with less physical disabilities to enter Chang'an today. We will first select five battalions and attack all the so-called green-skinned knights in Chang'an City! I will beat the leader severely and beat him to death with sticks! Arrest the rest, I want you to control all the gangsters in the entire Chang'an City within three days, and kill some illegal gang members in Chang'an City, can you do it?!" Li Ke said in a deep voice.
"Yes! Your Highness, it won't take three days to deal with these people." Zhang Xi laughed grimly. They were just a bunch of green-skinned gangsters. Three days? Look down too high on them.
There are many green-skinned gangsters in Chang'an City. In fact, such people have existed since ancient times. After all, their ancestors could be the founding emperors.
There were many people like this in the Tang Dynasty, but ordinary people did not dare to provoke them, and suing them actually had little effect. It was not that the government did not care, but that investigation and evidence collection were very difficult. Even in ancient times, the government could not do anything without evidence. It is reported that people are dealt with directly.
In fact, there were not many gangsters during the Zhenguan period. There were more such people in the prosperous times.
But there are already many in Chang'an City now.
"I ask you not to be caught by the government, but to deal with all these people secretly! Can you do it?" Li Ke asked lightly.
"Ah?" Zhang Xi was a little confused. He couldn't let the government catch him? Why is this? We are not breaking the law.
The gangsters in Chang'an City are very complex. Since ancient times, there are just a few types of people like gangsters. The first type is beggars. In order to survive, these beggars basically dare to do anything. After all, living is already difficult. They still care about breaking the law. ?
The second category is the floating population, which is somewhat similar to beggars. In dynasties such as the Tang Dynasty, the floating population was not only people from nearby people who came to Chang'an City to find temporary work, but also many who came from refugees, almost equivalent to becoming unregistered households. Unregistered households were worse than death in the Tang Dynasty, so no one wanted to become an unregistered household if given the choice.
Now that they have chosen this path, it is not surprising that some of them take desperate risks.
There are also some idlers, and there are all kinds of elements in this group, including some incompetent children of merchants and noble families, and even the second generation of some wealthy families. There were relatively few evil-doing second generations during the Zhenguan period, mainly because Li Shimin had just ascended the throne, and the ministers of the imperial court basically followed Li Shimin all the way.
These people are very smart and know how to educate their children, so there are relatively few such people now, and they usually come after a few generations.
This kind of idlers with some backgrounds are mostly disciples of some nobles from small families, or some people who do small business in Chang'an City but have some wealth. For example, those in Zhen Guanxi, most of them are incompetent disciples, and there are some small ones. relation.
"Do you think you can catch all these green-skinned gangsters?" Li Ke asked.
Zhang Xi thought for a while, then shook his head: "I can't catch them all."
"Yes, everything has two sides, just like where there is light, there must be shadows, and where there is day, there must be night. Wherever there is a bright and beautiful place in a city, there must be a place where filth and evil gather together. These are all Gangsters are the shadows under the light, so we can’t catch them all!”
"This is like controlling water. It is better to clear the water than to block it. The task I give you is very simple. Kill a group, beat a group, and win over a group! Keep the green-skinned gangsters in the entire Chang'an City under your control."
"Kill the criminals who have committed many crimes. I have already asked people to investigate these people. I will have their evidence written down and handed over to you later. There are forty-five people in total. The group of people beaten are also criminals, but If the crime is not serious enough to lead to death, but you bully the villagers, I'll beat you! The standard is that you can't get out of bed for at least a week. Be careful not to beat the person to death, and don't beat the person to a disability, keep it for use!"
"Most of the people I have recruited are those who follow these people. These people are not very courageous, but they have no ability. They have some sense of justice in their hearts. Although they bully others, they are not the culprits and can be kept."
"This is the map of Chang'an." Li Ke threw out a map of Chang'an. "Each of your battalions divides its own territory. Remember, you have to fight with each other, but let the people below fight. It is strictly prohibited. Killed."
"You must first divide your respective territories. Be careful not to let the government know your identity. If you are arrested by the government due to some conflicts, have someone notify Youjian Inn or Shopping Mall in Chang'an City, or simply find Tian Meng. I will I'm here to help you handle it personally. But you are strictly prohibited from revealing your identity, do you understand?"
"I understand, I wonder why Your Highness is doing this?" Zhang Xi was a little confused and scratched his head.
"You have to remember that those powerful people often oppress the people and do evil. Especially some wealthy families ignore the laws of the country, but they also know how to avoid their own laws, so they always find some gangsters and the like. To do something illegal!"
"As for these people, remember to keep all their evidence for me, and finally send it to Tian Meng or other places for archiving." Li Ke said lightly.
Zhang Xi's heart trembled, this...he understood! He thought of the dreams His Highness once told them!
And to realize those dreams, you must have some means. Good people don't live long, and I want to remove the nails that hinder His Highness from realizing his dreams! These means are necessary!
It turns out... His Highness has always been shouldering such a heavy burden.
Zhang Xi looked at Li Ke with admiration.
"do you understand?!"
"Understood!" Everyone shouted in unison.
"All political commissars, after you go back, you must summon the brothers from each battalion and explain to them carefully the advantages and disadvantages of our approach. The pros and cons must be explained clearly to them, and the rationale must also be explained clearly to them. I understand that they are like this Maybe we will become a green-skinned gangster in the eyes of others, but remember, our hearts are in darkness, but we yearn for light! We go deep into the darkness just to understand the darkness and let the light come earlier! Do you understand?"
"No!" All the captains were excited.
"The second thing is, in addition to the five battalions selected to perform relevant tasks, select ten more battalions. Tomorrow, we will go to various places where refugees and beggars gather in Chang'an City to post notices and notify everyone of the recruitment notice in the industrial park. , this task will be coordinated by people from Wannian and Chang'an counties, as well as Jingzhao Mansion."
"It is compulsory for refugees to gather in places where the beggars gather, and there will definitely be many gangsters who secretly control the beggars to beg, but for their own benefit. And these people are the tasks of the previous five battalions. Understand ?!"
"promise!"
"As for the remaining battalions, they will maintain order in the industrial zone the day after tomorrow. By the way, Zhang Xi, after selecting five battalions, go and change clothes with Huo Gang's people." Li Ke warned again.
"Changing clothes?" Zhang Xi was a little confused.
"Well, I'll give them the Mingguang Armor of His Royal Highness's bodyguards, but they can't wear the helmets." Li Ke waved his hand lightly.
"Your Highness, you must not do this!" Zhang Xi and the other captains were dumbfounded. For their safety, His Highness wanted to equip all those on missions with Mingguang Armor? ! While being moved, everyone was shocked.
