Chapter 1928 The Big Taboo of the Dragon God Army
How great the deterrent effect of the Dragon God Army is on the entire continent depends largely on how fast the main team he leads can capture the continent and whether it is invincible!
Although the Yao Kingdom was destroyed, the elite soldiers and generals there are still more than those in other places in Shanjin. With the intervention of the gods, it will still be the toughest nut to crack in the second stage.
Of course He Lingchuan kept this kind of trouble to himself.
Du Shan stood up and bowed to the generals. Only half of the generals sitting there recognized him.
"Please submit your military merit list as soon as possible. Now is the time when the master needs people. Those who should be promoted should be promoted, and those who should be punished should be punished."
War is the fastest way to select talented generals. No matter what your reputation or rank is, whether you have real ability or not, it will be clear once you go to the battlefield.
The military merit system of Panlong City was already very mature, but what He Lingchuan adopted in his own army was the advanced Yuheng City system based on this system, which was also the result of his successful experiment back then.
All the generals agreed and showed great respect to Du Shan.
Anyone who is promoted by the master to coordinate must have amazing talents.
For Dushan, this is also the most important opportunity to prove himself. He wants to use practical actions to declare to everyone:
He is not just a so-called poison master.
Du Shan suddenly turned to Tao Ran and said, "Your captain Peng Youfu beat up a local wealthy man named Tian in Nantai Town, causing his leg to be broken, and he also gave all the 300 strings of copper coins in Tian's cabinet to the townspeople. However, Tian is not on our cleanup list. Peng Youfu's actions are an abuse of private punishment, looting of property, and a violation of military discipline."
He Lingchuan's eyes immediately focused on Tao Ran, who was under tremendous pressure.
It was common for this man to lick blood from the blade, but when being looked at like this by Emperor Jiuyou, he began to sweat on his back.
"Tian had his own business. He tampered with employment contracts and deducted wages. He bribed officials to obtain the franchise for several spices. This was collusion between officials and businessmen. In addition, his methods of excluding his peers in several towns were not very glorious. Peng Youfu was angry when he heard the complaints of the employees of Tian's business, so he punished him."
Tao Ran continued speaking without pausing: "I have already reprimanded him and given him fifteen lashes of the cane!"
He Lingchuan was as silent as a statue. Du Shan specifically mentioned this matter, and he would not just let it go like this.
As expected, Du Shan immediately asked, "From what the waiters said? How many waiters did Peng Youfu hear from?"
"..." Tao Ran didn't know and didn't ask in such details.
"The clerk who complained to Peng Youfu is called Xu Da. He has been asking Tian for his wages for the past three months, but Tian has indeed refused to pay him. General Tao, do you know why?"
Since Du Shan brought this up, the reason couldn't be simply "withholding wages". Tao Ran could only shake his head to indicate that he didn't know.
"Xu Da was addicted to gambling. He lost so much money in the gambling house that he stole goods from merchants and resold them twice to pay off his gambling debts." Du Shan said slowly, "Tian Shi remembered that his father had worked in her company for more than ten years, so she didn't turn him in to the government. She only deducted two months' salary. From then on, Tian Shi gave all the salary to Xu Da's father. Xu Da couldn't take it himself, so he went to the company to make a scene and was almost beaten to death by his father and uncles."
"This incident caused a big stir in the local area and everyone knew about it. If Peng Youfu had asked a few more people about it, he wouldn't have been used as a pawn by a rogue."
Tao Ran wanted to say something but stopped himself, sweat beading on his forehead.
This is what happened, oh no!
Du Shan did not raise his voice, but every word was heart-wrenching: "Why does the Dragon God Army have a rule that the army does not get involved in politics? The army only needs to fight and obey orders, and not get involved in other matters? How many of our soldiers who were recruited from everywhere have the ability to distinguish right from wrong? If Peng Youfu can embezzle the money in other people's accounts out of kindness, why would you stop other soldiers who are not so kind from taking or robbing?"
Tao Ran immediately turned to He Lingchuan and said solemnly: "Tao Ran admits his guilt, please punish me, my lord!"
He said that he "knew his crime" rather than being wrong, which meant that he knew that he had allowed his men to commit a serious crime:
The military does not get involved in money politics.
Every time the Dragon God's army conquered a place, who to kill, who to rob, and who to keep was determined by the Dragon God; the distribution of money, food, and other resources was handled by the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce, and it was also the will of the Dragon God that was implemented.
This is a red line that the military cannot cross.
He Lingchuan ignored him and said to Du Shan, "Go on."
"Besides, during the Dragon God War, the Lord's principle for minor officials and merchants was 'no punishment unless there is a major crime'. What law did Peng Youfu use to 'punish' people?" Du Shan continued, "Do you know that after Tian's leg was broken, the Tian family was cursed and splashed with feces within a month and a half, and someone even climbed over the wall to steal three times."
The black-armored warriors have taken action, which means this man is guilty!
Since you are guilty, don't blame others for kicking you when you are down. There are few people in this world who are willing to help someone in need, but there are some who are willing to help someone in need.
"Tian's business was completely unsustainable in the local area. He couldn't collect money and owed a lot of debts. After this incident, more than a dozen other merchants in Nantai Town moved away one after another."
When the rabbit is gone, the fox will feel sad. People will feel insecure and will naturally leave.
"Peng Youfu was just being savvy for a while, but this is the consequence."
Hearing this, He Lingchuan finally spoke: "I have said that the Black Armor Army will not harm the people in the slightest."
As soon as he spoke, everyone in the room sat up straight. Tao Ran didn't dare to reply, but his lips moved slightly.
This is for ordinary people, right?
He Lingchuan saw through his thoughts at a glance, and his eyes became even colder: "Merchants and wealthy people are not considered 'people'? Who gave you the power to exclude them?"
When these words were spoken, the other generals at the meeting were all shocked.
Tao Ran immediately bowed his head and said: "I was wrong, please punish me, my lord!"
He Lingchuan ignored him and turned to Ding Zuodong and said, "Let the local branch of Yangshan Chamber of Commerce contact Tian's company immediately, send the best doctors to him, and help him with two businesses. Others will naturally know Yangshan's attitude and will not add insult to injury."
Ding Zuodong agreed immediately.
He Lingchuan then turned to Tao Ran and said, "After the Central Campaign is over, send two people to take Peng Youfu to the Tian family's home to apologize in person. Your attitude must be sincere and correct."
"Yes!"
"You failed to control your subordinates strictly and did not communicate clearly. You will be punished with thirty strokes of the cane. This will be recorded in the account and we will settle the matter after the battle!"
Tao Ran's face flushed and he responded even louder.
The other generals present were also awe-inspiring, knowing that Du Shan had far-reaching intentions in raising this example in public.
The composition of the Dragon God Army is extremely diverse. Apart from the Black Armor Army which are the elite brought up by He Lingchuan, Qiu Hu and Wanqi Feng, there are more surrendered soldiers from all over the place and green forest heroes. Among them are many chicken thieves and dog thieves, and highwaymen. There are a thousand different thoughts among ten thousand people.
The best way to control them is to strictly observe discipline, not touch money and power, and resolutely not break the rules.
But Peng Youfu did something wrong with good intentions. After all, it was just a small matter. How could it be put on the table? The only reason was that the Dragon God wanted to use it to warn everyone:
Keep your subordinates under control and don't overstep your boundaries!
