Chen Wen's confidence infected Zhou Yueying, but not Sun Yu and Zhou Jingting who were recruited to come over night. Of course, Chen Wen did not convey the original words he said to Zhou Yueying to them, but what the three of them discussed on that night still made Sun Yu and Zhou Jingting, two classmates' friends, shudder, so that they hurried back home without even saying goodbye when they left the Marquis' mansion.

The next morning, Chen Wen issued an order to establish a new department under the Anyuan Hou Mansion, called the Propaganda Department, head of Chen Wen's brother-in-law. Zhou Jingting, the first aide to Jinhua Mansion, was the first of his aides. The main work of this department is currently the launch and distribution of Zhejiang Dibao. In addition, the Propaganda Department will also establish a series of new departments, including a department called the Art Troupe, which is said to be recruiting such as Storytellers, actors, musicians and poor tutors, and seems to be planning to form a troupe.

"It is obvious that there is a Jiafangsi, but Mr. Chen has set up a special opera troupe to organize. Such a reckless waste of people's wealth and cream has probably wiped out the heroic spirit in the gentle village. He is still calling for talented people again and again. Fortunately, we have never responded. How can we succeed in this way?"

In the battle of Jinhua, the Han army was defeated by the Eight Banners. Chen Wen and his Zhejiang Ming army had begun to attract attention from the world, even though they were not as good as the two famous kings in Li Dingguo, but they were far superior to other Ming armies. Once the order from the Anyuan Marquis' Mansion was issued, Jin Quyan and Taiwen immediately spread wildly. However, due to Hong Chengchou's blockade and the second order to move the border, the spread of news was seriously reduced.

"Zhou Jingting, he is just a student. What kind of talent can he have? He is not the lucky one who climbed to a high position by pulling the corner of his girl's skirt. In this way, we Jinshi and Juren have to govern the country."

A wine shop in Dongyang County is not a famous place, but it is better than elegant and quiet, so it is favored by local scholars. In a private room called "Bamboo", a fat Confucian scholar was drinking with a goatee-bearded old man opposite him. He heard that Zhou Jingting was already in charge, and he was full of disdain, but he was so sour. He just didn't know if the wine was sour or just poured vinegar into the wine glass.

"That's also a skill." Qian Qian sniffed a little, and the goatee seemed to smile with satisfaction, but no matter how she looked at the smile, she showed a vulgar look. "I'm not to hide it from my brother, I heard that the new lady of the Marquis' Mansion is a rare beauty in the mansion. It is said that she is still a talented woman. Besides, ordinary women can't even catch the eyes of the Marquis."

"Hmph! That's also a crazy woman. A girl who is not married has traveled far away to Quzhou to report the news. Is it necessary for her?"

"Who knows, it's probably because he was hooked up with that marquis at that time. Maybe it was the thread Zhou Jingting deliberately tied to him."

Hearing this, the fat scholar was stunned at first, and then laughed. "Maybe he would recommend himself to the pillow mat at that time..."

As the fat and thin as the two of them laughed. Until a moment later, a Confucian scholar rushed in. Before he could breathe, he said loudly to the two of them: "Sentenced, death sentence, death sentence."

"What kind of death crime, which one was convicted of death?"

"Zhang Yida, the thief who killed Feng Jing!"

"Is it really a death penalty?" The fat Confucian scholar Teng stood up suddenly, and then he looked like a wise bead in his hands. "The Ming Dynasty law, killing people to pay for their lives, and Anyuan Hou's military law also stipulates that those who kill the people will be executed. This is a death penalty and cannot be solved at all. However, when the thief's army dies, we will spread it around to see that those military households will dare to accommodate those lowly tenants who change their masters in the future."

The fat Confucian scholar laughed loudly with the new Confucian scholar, but the wretched goatee was still sitting there, as if he was still thinking about something.

"No, I have seen the marquis with my own eyes. On the surface, he showed gentleness, but inside, he was a cruel and ruthless man. This matter is probably not that simple!"

……………………

Since the establishment of the Dalan Mountain Army, Chen Wen's Zhejiang Ming army has always been known for its strictness and even strictness in military discipline. This is the tradition of the Qi family army back then. The Qi family army is always victorious and unbeaten, and the Zhejiang Ming army can also be like this, so it is also recognized by the soldiers, especially Chen Wen was personally punished, which has a profound impact on the soldiers under his command.

"In front of military law, even the noble marquis is no exception. Didn't you think about today when you killed that guy?!"

When he was escorted to the mansion, Zhang Yida confessed to the murder, but he never thought that it was wrong to kill and revenge. Especially when the Feng family deceived his grandfather and signed usury, they swallowed up his land and houses, which led to their family serving as slaves and maids for three generations.

"The Feng family caused my grandfather to die in depression. Our family made them cows and horses, and even the surname was not preserved. The Feng family caused my family to do this. Is it wrong to take revenge?"

The gentry families in the late Ming Dynasty were powerful in the countryside, using various means to annex the land, oppress the good, and even forcing civilians to sell themselves as slaves. The gentry in the southeast was extremely powerful, and the clan power was even more ubiquitous, so that like the White Lotus Sect and the Scented Sect, there was no room for survival. However, even so, they also had the uprising of Tianmeng Kingdom, the nose-cutting team, the Wulong Club, and the Baitou Army under various banners to resist class oppression. The largest anti-Qing force in Taihu area, Zhang San, the Taihu Anti-Qing Rebel Army, also first set up a fight against the rich gentry family, and secondly, the Qing army.

Zhang Yida, who was weeping and crying, asked this question. Even the base army judges who came to the prison to send him the last journey, were moved by the military supervisors. They were originally poor people, and they fought in Chen Wen's army for many years before they reached their current status. The past of being bullied by the gentry was still vivid in my mind. How could it be so easy to forget?

"Public is public, private is private. Military law stipulates that those who kill the people have been executed. This is something that has been repeatedly expelled when the army was formed in Dalan Mountain. Revenge is your own business, but as a soldier in the army, your life is in the same robes, the camp, bureau, and the whistle, our Zhejiang King's Division, and the same as other robes in the army! As a military man, you must obey the orders and obey the military law, otherwise it will be a dead end!"

Compared with the military officer, the military judge recovered faster. Faced with the harsh and harsh questions, Zhang Yida looked full of grief and anger, but if he asked him to say Chen Wen and say anything bad about the Zhejiang Mingjun he served, he would not be able to say it, even if he had been tortured in the prison of the Imperial Office of the Criminal Office.

He was not a fool. Over the years, he was able to get rid of his status as a slave, obtain his own land, have a normal marriage, and may even have his own children in a few months. All of this was only started when Chen Wen led a large army into Jinhua Mansion. If it weren't for this Ming army in Zhejiang, the Feng family was a local big family, and his son-in-law was a new gentry with fame and fame in the Qing Dynasty. For a small person like him, as a slave for generations, even his surname was destroyed.

"Is it wrong to take revenge?"

Covering his face, Zhang Yida sat down on the ground, and a low sob came, and even the military judge and the military supervisor couldn't help but sigh.

"There is no word fair in this world. You and your family have suffered in this world. But at least in the army, even the Marquis will abide by military laws and regulations. As long as the military laws are abide by, no one can bully you at will. It is already a rare Pure Land."

"Avenge is yes, but your method is wrong. If you have grievances, you can tell your battalion officials that you will be blessed, or you can tell me, and we will tell the Marquis that if the Marquis knows, you will definitely find an opportunity to avenge you. And what you did is to put the entire Ming army in Zhejiang on the fire, who can still trust our military discipline in the future? Besides, Feng Jingshi was sentenced to death and confiscated his property. In order to vent his anger by such a dying person, you not only compensated your life, but also died with the identity of such a murderer. How should your child deal with it in the future?"

Most of the military judges are cold and cold. Most of the military supervisors are highly supported by the lower-level officers and soldiers in the army. Not only are they eloquent, but the military supervisors in Chen Wen's army are also veteran officers who have emerged from the sea of ​​corpses and blood. They can often give them a lot of professional help to the lower-level officers and soldiers. Moreover, these military supervisors also have many rights that are highly valued by the soldiers, such as taking turns to rest, and the family letters they helped to write are also reviewed and sent out. For example, the chefs and military doctors in the army are also under their jurisdiction, so what they say is often more relevant to the lower-level officers and soldiers.

Zhang Yida remembers this officer very clearly. Last time he fought with the Eight Banners of the Han Army in Jinhua, a senior officer rushed forward without hesitation and fought with the Tartars in person to boost morale. He treated the wounded, regardless of hard work, and only the lame battalion officer could be slightly higher in prestige in their camp.

It was this military supervisor who knew that he had married a wife but had no children yet. He first gave him an injury leave, and later took care of him and took care of him in the turn of the day. Otherwise, his wife might not have the flesh and blood in her belly.

"Huang Jianjun, a low position, a low position, a low position, a low position, a low position, a low position, a bad position, a bad position, a bad position, and a bad position, a bad position, and a bad position."

The sobs turned into a loud cry. Judge Jun shook his head and walked out. When he came back, he was already following a little woman, who was Zhang Yida's wife.

"The head of the family."

"My wife."

Seeing the couple hugging each other, Judge Jun spoke out his last words.

"Zhang Yida, Chief Qi asked me to tell you that the Marquis said that he would not see off a criminal who died in military law. However, your military merits will not be taken back, and your posthumous son can also be inherited after his birth, and everything is the same as when you were alive. In the end, there is something else to say, tell your wife, after eating the silenced rice and drinking the silenced wine, I have already known the executioner. Tomorrow he will be cleaner and cleaner to ensure that you will not suffer too much." After that, the military judge and the officer named Huang turned around and walked out.

Hearing this, Zhang Yida was stunned at first, then walked a few steps with tears in his knees, shouting to the backs of the two: "I thank the Marquis for your kindness and thank the two generals. In the next life, I will definitely repay this great kindness and great virtue!"

After saying this, the sound of his forehead hitting the ground came, and three times in a row. Then, a young couple in the prison hugged each other and cried for a long time.

……………………

From the news reached Chen Wen's ears, to the escort of Zhang Yi to the Jinhua City, to the verdict and execution, everything was completed with the efficiency of the Ming army in Zhejiang. Since Zhang Yida's own military body and the judgment was also based on military law, the death penalty for beheading was also executed in the military camp. However, it was not a military camp, but a recruit training camp, in order to make the new recruits and newly joined officers realize what the consequences of violating military law were!

While Zhang Yida was executed, Chen Wen, Sun Yu and Zhou Jingting continued to discuss the next general policy direction in his office.

In the past few days, Sun Yu has begun to suppress the gentry's opposition to the Hou Mansion's special collection of military fields. However, in Chen Wen's words, these guys have become accustomed to being arrogant in the past hundred years, especially the Tianqi and the Chongzhen dynasties. After all, they will be half the result with twice the effort by presenting facts and reasoning for those gentry. If they don't give them a memory, they will have to ride on them to shit and pee sooner or later.

In this regard, Sun Yu also knew that what Chen Wen said was not false, but as a Confucian scholar-official class, he was still inevitably sad and sighed.

In contrast, Zhou Jingting, who has already taken over the leadership of the Propaganda Department, not only has to continue to assist Chen Wen in handling all the affairs of the Huaxia Revival Association, but the newly established department is also full of clues. In the past few days, he has been busy from morning to late at night every day, and yesterday he simply slept in the office room, but with real power in his hands, satisfaction and troubles also come, which makes him feel a little uncomfortable.

"Mr. Marquis, in terms of Zhejiang Palace News, the manuscript has been written, the office location and printing workshop have been prepared. The required copper movable type is being steered, and it can be completed in the next few days. The typesetting, printing and a series of workers have been recruited, and it should not delay the issuance of the first issue."

Dibao is a copy of news articles specially used in ancient China to spread the affairs of the government and political information. It first appeared in the Western Han Dynasty and was written on bamboo slips or silk. It was not until the Eastern Han Dynasty that it began to copy paper. During the Ming Dynasty, the publication of Dibao was issued in the work of the Tongzhengsi Office. In the Chongzhen Dynasty, Dibao also began to be printed in movable type, and the scale of distribution was much larger than before.

Chen Wen had this idea for a long time when running a newspaper. He was suffering from the long-term siege of the Qing army and was still not well-off at hand. This matter of having a much lower priority than raising troops was put on hold. Now the sea trade is about to begin, and with coastal prefectures, the salt fields can also be operated, and the money in his hands is about to increase. Naturally, this matter cannot continue like this. He must always make his voice louder.

Nodding, Chen Wen expressed satisfaction with this, and then asked Zhou Jingting another matter. "On that day, I asked the officials of the Dongyang County Criminal Division whom I asked the Chief Zhou to send someone to investigate, is there any news?"

"It has been found out that it was several local gentry from Dongyang County who bought a merchant from Shaoxing who moved to the house and had a relative in-laws with one of the gentry's families."

"As it turns out, are there children of the six tribes in Dongyang County?"

The situations in different places are different and cannot be generalized. Most of the things in Dongyang County are inseparable from the six tribes of Nancen Wu, Xianxidu, Dongjuan Wei, Muxiangli, Tuotang Zhang and Shuangquan Xu. When he first entered Jinhua, Chen Wen also received great help from him. However, during the Ming and Qing dynasties, there was the least damage due to Zhang Guowei's existence. It is the most powerful place for the Jinhua Prefecture to compete with the gentry. Now that we have to compete with the gentry, we are afraid that we will inevitably have some conflicts and conflicts with these six wealthy families.

"The officers in charge of the Military Information Department told the lower officials that not only did not participate, but also began to strictly control the children of each family in advance, and ordered them to study at home and not to go out to meet other gentry."

"Oh?" Chen Wen was quite surprised at this answer, but once he thought about the background and origin of these families, especially the word "Tutang" from the Zhang family in Totang, everything was clear. "It is really worthy of being a great family that has been passed down for hundreds of years. It seems that they have foreseeed something. Then, first use the matter of overpowering power to take charge of and participate in the investigation, arrest and interrogate the criminal officers, officials and yamen runners in the case of Zhang Yida's murder of Feng Jingshi, and punish them for their crimes."

"Where are those gentry?"
