I want to ruin the country

The soldiers were so moved that their eyes filled with tears. It turned out that the people didn't dislike soldiers. The key was what you did for the people!

No wonder the emperor repeatedly said that the common people are the ones who provide them with food and clothing. Now they understand what the emperor said!

Only by serving the people can the army gain their love.

Senglin was the first to submit a memorial to the emperor to report the good news.

He recounted the entire incident in detail, specifically mentioning the case of the imperial prisoner Kong Xiangguo.

But this guy has not been found yet. Was he killed by a heartless cannon, or did he run away? No one knows whether he is dead or alive.

He also said that he planned to divide his troops into several groups to suppress the bandits in order to speed up the process.

Then he talked about the common people's support for the troops.

"At this moment, I finally understand why the Emperor always keeps the people's sufferings in mind!

I also understand the true meaning of "He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world". I kneel down to thank the emperor for giving me the opportunity to relieve the worries and solve the problems for the people.

I will repay your kindness with all my heart and soul!"

A list of recommended persons for meritorious service was attached, and then sent to the capital at an expedited rate of eight hundred miles.

Eight hundred miles is fast, and after a distance of twelve hundred miles, the memorial reached Yining in less than a day and a night.

Although Yining was very happy after seeing it, it was also unexpected and his emotions did not fluctuate much.

I just said a few good things in a row,

"Yi Heping, quickly deliver this memorial to Elder Lin and Master Du and the others to make them happy."

Soon, a group of people came to congratulate the emperor.

Yining ordered,

"Master Du, please send this memorial to the world!"

“Zhe!”

Next, everyone discussed how to reward the meritorious soldiers.

Yining said,

"This is the first thing that has greatly pleased the people since I ascended the throne. I can give generous rewards and this will also inspire other soldiers!"

In the end, all officers and soldiers were rewarded with 50,000 taels of silver.

Seng Linqin was awarded a yellow riding jacket, a double-eyed peacock feather, and five thousand taels of silver.

All other persons recommended by the monks themselves will be approved.

Talking about the treatment of Liu Heita,

Yining said,

"This man's crimes are extremely heinous and have a very bad influence in the local area. I think there is no need to escort him to the capital. I will hold a public trial here and sentence him to death!"

Lin Zexu asked,

"Where's his family?"

According to the law, occupying a mountain and becoming a king is equivalent to rebellion, and rebellion will result in the extermination of all nine generations of the family.

But Yining came from the future after all, and he didn't want to be implicated.

And except for his first wife, his other wives and children did not do anything bad.

Yining thought about it again and again and said,

"His first wife must be executed for aiding the tyrant. The others have done nothing evil, so they should be exiled!"

Du Shoutian Road,

"Your Majesty, this punishment is against the law. Will it be criticized?"

But Yining was a person from the later rule of law society after all, and he still felt a little bit reluctant to kill so many people!

Besides, although these people cannot be said to be innocent, they are implicated after all. He waved his hand and said,

"Let it be. God is merciful and they are not extremely evil. Let's be merciful when we can."

The emperor had made up his mind, and no one wanted to spoil the fun, so the matter was settled.

Lin Zexu said,

"I don't know what happened to Kong Xiangguo. Even if he's not dead, he's still a problem!"

Yining smiled and said,

"Even if he's still alive, he's still a stray dog. Heaven's net is vast and nothing can escape it. Diing a few days earlier or later is not a matter of law!"

Du Shoutian Road,

"The emperor has done so much this year, and the people deeply feel his grace, and their hearts are gradually stabilizing.

Once the banditry is completely eradicated, the people can live and work in peace. Not to mention Kong Xiangguo, even a few more clowns won't cause any trouble! "

Yining smiled and said,

"Teacher, you've really hit the nail on the head. Whether the world is stable or not depends on what we do!

We put the interests of the people first. Who would want to give up their good life and waste it?"

Everyone said together,

"Your Majesty!"

After receiving the emperor's decree to hold a public trial in the local area, Shandong Governor Chen Qingkai, Admiral Pan Youbin, the provincial governor, the provincial governor, and the prefect all came.

Behind them was a long line of carriages and horses, loaded with fine wine, pigs, sheep, chickens and ducks.

Liu Heita was wiped out, eliminating a threat to the local area. It would be unreasonable for them not to come to entertain the troops.

As soon as they met, Chen Qingkai's face was full of smiles.

"Marshal, you wiped out the bandit's nest in just four days. It's like pouring boiling water on snow. It really astonishes us!"

Senglinqin also laughed so hard that his forehead wrinkles appeared.

"No, no, Master Chen, you are too kind. It is because of the Emperor's strategic planning and wise command that we have achieved this great victory!

For a small bandit to go against the imperial court is like throwing an egg against a rock!"

Chen Qingkai asked the governor to deliver the gift list.

"General, here are 20,000 taels of silver, 500 pigs, 2,000 sheep, 10,000 chickens and ducks, and 2,000 jars of fine wine to reward the troops.

You have eliminated a great threat to Shandong. On behalf of the people of Shandong, I would like to thank you, Marshal!

When Senglinqin heard that there were so many things, he could tell that Chen Qingxie was really here to express his gratitude. He smiled and said,

"Thank you, Lord Chen, for your expense. On behalf of the soldiers, I would like to thank you, Lord Chen and the people of Shandong. Come, accept the gift!

Pass on my order, today is a day off, and pigs and sheep will be slaughtered to reward the troops!

Lord Chen, Admiral Pan, let's get drunk today with your fine wine!"

Chen Qingxie was also very happy when he heard this. The monk was giving him a holiday because it was a favor to him and made the soldiers appreciate his kindness. He hurriedly said,

"It's just that the Marshal won so quickly this time that we were all caught off guard. We didn't prepare well enough, and I feel really guilty about that.

If the Marshal needs anything, please let me know. Shandong will do its best to arrange it!"

What Chen Qingkai said was not false. Liu Heita had been causing trouble for Shandong for more than ten years and had brought them endless troubles.

I have been the governor for several years, but I have never been promoted.

Although he had made some remarkable achievements, he always failed at the critical moment, which was directly related to the fact that Liu Heita always caused shocking cases.

He had long hated Liu Heita, but because he had no military power, he could only watch helplessly.

Now Liu Heita was completely eradicated, and he was happy from the bottom of his heart.

The monks in the forest said,

"Lord Chen, you're too serious. Protecting the country and the people and pacifying the local area are the duties of the army. Don't take it too seriously!"

Shandong Governor Pan Youjun stood up and bowed.

"General, as the governor of Shandong, I command tens of thousands of troops, but I allowed the Liu rebels to run rampant for over a decade. I truly feel guilty towards the Emperor.

"I would like to ask, how did you manage to wipe out the Liu bandits in just three days? Please enlighten me!"

Senglin Qinxu raised his hand and said,

"Master Pan, please don't be polite. Sit down and talk.

Speaking of this great victory, although it was the result of the soldiers fighting bloody battles, it was ultimately due to the emperor.

With the help of Kong Ze, Liu Fei renovated the stronghold and made it impregnable.

If we hadn't had these new artillery pieces given by the Emperor to attack the mountain, I wouldn't have been able to predict the outcome!"
