Steel Dynasty - Chapter 168

[Chapter 168 Militia Act]

A burst of ghostly cries and howls sounded in the ears, and the memory of the experimental explosion was recalled again.

This was a similar experience. He stood up and touched his whole body. Xiao Ming felt as if he was not dead!

In front of him, Li San was riding on Li Kaiyuan, punching Li Kaiyuan’s face one after another.

The dock was in a mess. The Qin family’s merchant ship was slowly sinking in the flames, and the violent explosion also affected nearby ships.

From time to time, wailing sounds were heard from the boat.

“Qin Chuanyun, barbarians, you have successfully angered me.” Xiao Ming’s eyes were empty, and his faint voice sounded like it was coming from the abyss.

He kicked Li San and said, “Stop it. Is this the time for internal strife? No matter what method you use, you must capture Qin Chuanyun. I will hang him in Cangzhou City.” At the city gate!”

Li San stood up at this time. If it weren’t for Li Kaiyuan’s words to defend the Qin family, they would not have entered the boat.

Fortunately, Xiao Ming was very familiar with the smell of gunpowder this time. If it had been other ungrounded vassal kings, all three of them would have died on the boat this time.

“Your Highness, I’m going to go now. If I can’t catch Qin Chuanyun, you can take my Li San’s head and feed it to the dogs!”

Li San was almost furious. This made Xiao Ming not trust him in the future.

He said no more, and headed towards the city with his secret guards.

Li Kaiyuan was beaten into a pig’s head by Li San. He crawled over from the ground and hugged Xiao Ming’s legs, crying: “Dianha (Your Highness), I really didn’t know Qin Chuanyun could be so vicious, Your Highness!”

Xiao Ming !

He looked at him coldly. He was really tired when meeting such a pig teammate. He kicked Li Kaiyuan in the butt and said, “Don’t blame me for not believing you. Before I find out this matter, I can only I have wronged you to live in the prison for a few days. Not to mention Li San, I have to doubt you. “

I have to say that this time it was Li Kaiyuan who introduced Xiao Ming into the cabin step by step, which can’t help but make people think .

.

Li Kaiyuan said: “Your Highness, I am unjust. I just want to make Your Highness happy.”

Xiao Ming was too lazy to pay attention to him, and the guards of the palace immediately stepped forward to take Li Kaiyuan away.

After thinking about the process just now, Xiao Ming was still frightened. Among the two ships, the ship next door was blown to pieces. This shows that the gunpowder was put on the adjacent ship and ignited.

Because of this, they could not detect it in time. If the old man’s hands were not stained with gunpowder powder, he would really be dead this time.

Return to the city.

Xiao Ming went directly to the prison. Li San had already arrested all the businessmen he suspected and tortured them severely.

One of Li San’s subordinates, who was responsible for extracting confessions through torture, was called Liuzi.

At this time, he said: “Your Highness, I asked. These bastards really don’t cry until they see the coffin. They have to force me to use Lingchi’s method. They brought news to the local wealthy families, and the barbarians gave them a lot of benefits, asking them to tell The local wealthy family cut off His Highness’s logistics and assassinated His Highness. Whoever has more merit will get a bigger fief when the barbarians take over Qingzhou.”

Liu Zi threw a knife on the ground, with human skin still stuck to it. Extreme criminal law was taught to Li San by Xiao Ming.

This time Li San seemed to be extremely angry.

“Where did Qin Chuanyun get his gunpowder, have you asked?” Xiao Ming’s face flickered in the light of the torch in the cell.

Liu Zi said: “I asked, it was the gunpowder formula given by the barbarians, these bastards who eat the inside out.”

“Don’t be in a hurry to let them die, I will still have some use for you.” Xiao Ming looked cold and left after saying this. into the cell.

It is difficult to guard against domestic thieves.

Now Xiao Ming finally suffered a big loss in this matter, but this is not what he hates most. What he hates most is these people who betray the country and seek glory.

These traitor lackeys eat the food of the Great Chongqing, drink the water of the Great Chongqing, and step on the land of the Great Chongqing. However, for the sake of their own glory and wealth, they do not care about the lives and deaths of millions of people and harm themselves. Our compatriots and country are just dog food rewarded by foreign races.

He could tolerate anything, but not this.

The sound of the explosion at the dock also alerted Niu Ben and others, and they quickly entered Qingzhou City with their cavalry.

At the Governor’s Mansion, they saw Xiao Ming in a state of embarrassment.

“Your Highness, what’s going on?” Lu Fei was shocked.

Niu Ben showed a rare expression of concern, “Your Highness…”

Pang Yukun already knew what happened. He told Qin Chuanyun that he had set a trap to murder Xiao Ming.

“This Li Kaiyuan was a killer when he was in the Qingzhou Army. I’m going to kill him right now!” Lu Fei said angrily.

Niu Ben said in a deep voice: “Don’t cause any more trouble to His Highness. What is needed at this time is unity. Don’t do things that please relatives and enemies. This incident only shows that Qin Chuanyun is very good at forbearing. This step

“Yes, he first burned the official village, and then used Li Kaiyuan to announce the good news, which aroused His Highness’s suspicion. He knew that His Highness had high hopes for the Qin family and would definitely come to arrest him personally.

“

The dock set a trap for His Highness to take the bait,” Luo Xin said.

Xiao Ming gradually regained his composure at this time, and said: “You don’t want the general behind the horse. Li San has already led people to chase him out. Don’t be idle anymore. You must capture Qin Chuanyun.”

Niu Ben nodded. , the three of them left with fists in their hands.

At this time, Pang Yukun said: “Your Highness, the wealthy family is still determined to kill Your Highness, and rebellions are emerging. We can no longer respond passively like this. We should kill them in advance.”

“This king naturally came to you for this matter. Today you will draft a decree to inform the people of the six states that traitors will die!”

“From today on, anyone who appears to be suspicious can be arrested by the people first, and then the government will During the interrogation, if a barbarian spy is found, the participants will be rewarded heavily. At the same time, each village can organize its own militia to patrol the village and arrest the spies. “

” Militia?” Pang Yukun’s eyes lit up. This was another one he had never heard of. The method, “Wonderful, in this way, each village will have its own self-defense strength.”

Xiao Ming sighed, he had no choice. To deal with these people who betray the country and seek glory, the majority of the people must be mobilized to participate.

Next, he told Pang Yukun the specific operation methods of the militia.

In short, this militia is an armed force voluntarily organized by each village. It resists foreign enemies during war and is responsible for maintaining law and order and patrolling their respective defense areas in peacetime.

“Actually, this is a way to defend against enemies during wartime and fully mobilize the power of the people. In this way, we have the help of one million households in the fiefdom.” Xiao Ming said.

Pang Yukun nodded, “Well, and this militia can also suppress the rebellion of the local wealthy families, which is really useful.”
