Chapter 415 (1/2)
Wei Ran did not directly return to Guanzhong, but went to Henan road. Now that the drought has passed, Henan road has become very broken and sparsely populated due to many refugee rebellions.
In many old cities, even wild animals ran wild. Even so, Henan road is also the core area of previous refugee rebellions.
Wei Ran screened the captured mobs in dujidao. Due to the large number of people, he could not distinguish the seriousness of the crimes committed by the refugees.
Therefore, it can only be distinguished by two standards: one is whether to serve as grass-roots officials in the Yellow nest army, and the other is the time of joining the Yellow nest army.
Anyone who has held any position will be treated as a felony, and those who have joined the Yellow nest army for more than half a year will also be treated as a felony.
All misdemeanors were resettled in several major prefectures and counties of Henan Province, where there was little population and no order, and sent their own bureaucrats to govern by military law.
Although Wei Ran was eager to resume production, he also knew that it was easy for people to get bad, but it was even more difficult to get better.
Therefore, in the first three years of militarized management, all the harvests engaged in reclamation will be incorporated into the local prefectural and county government treasury. After three years, according to the production enthusiasm and law-abiding performance during reclamation, personal freedom will be restored and land will be distributed.
In the future, a number of people will be pardoned year by year. I believe that after they are used to military management and know that the land they cultivate will become their own land, their production enthusiasm and law-abiding will be improved. The local government and the imperial court can recover slowly.
Most importantly, the restoration of order in Henan Province will play a positive role in completely calming the civil unrest in the world.
However, after Wei Ran arranged the relevant matters, there were local tyrants who didn't have eyes to find trouble.
The original local tyrants and gentry in Henan Dao have basically moved their families to dujidao. After Wei Ran stabilized the Henan Road, they naturally had to return to their hometown.
This is human nature. If they just return to their hometown to resume local production, Wei Ran will be very welcome. This has an important role in promoting the recovery of the vitality of Henan Province.
However, some gentry even bribed Fenglin army officers and staff, wantonly engaged in land annexation in the sparsely populated Henan Road, and privately purchased sinners to enrich their own slaves.
Wei Ran was already setting about resettling those refugees with serious crimes to the right side of Gansu for reclamation, but he became angry after he learned about Henan Road from his spy agency.
Therefore, he returned to Henan Province and engaged in the elimination of counter revolutionaries in the army and his own bureaucracy.
Find out those senior generals and staff who accept bribes, collude with local giants and destroy their own policies, and then conduct a public trial in public, execute them by military justice, and confiscate the family land.
Many people in the army came to beg for mercy. These officers and staff to be executed are good brothers who have followed Wei ran through life and death for many years. They can rely on each other. In terms of the morality of this era, such a trusted generation is extremely rare.
It was Li Jianxing who came to plead with Wei Ran and burst into tears.
Wei Ran has a firm heart. What has been decided cannot be easily changed. He doesn't need a Li Guang style army that pays attention to human feelings. He wants an army that is as white as Huo Qubing, based on military law, with clear rewards and penalties and strict discipline.
The former is easy to create factions and can only maintain a temporary combat effectiveness. Only the latter is the rudiment of a modern army. As long as the system is not bad, the combat effectiveness will be guaranteed. Wei Ran knew clearly which was more important.
He not only beheaded all these senior officers and staff who violated military discipline, but also ordered that anyone in the whole army who accepted bribes and was willing to return them to confess within ten days could be dealt with leniently.
Because Wei Ran's public trial of cutting off a large number of senior generals and staff in the army was so sensational that the whole army was shocked and terrified. More than a thousand generals and men came to confess within ten days.
