Suddenly, the subordinates were dissatisfied and the people suffered some losses...

Zhou Shixiang is not a fool, and Song Yi said it in a tactful way, but he couldn't tell what the other party was saying. He was clearly saying that someone in the Taiping Army was taking advantage of the chaos in the town.

Which bastard can't control his subordinates and dares to blatantly rob the town!

Zhou Shixiang was furious. Before Luo Ding set out, he emphasized the military discipline of going south when he was convening the General Banner and the Small Banner Army. It was strictly forbidden for all troops to rob the people without permission. Now someone openly violated the order and even asked others to sue him, which made Zhou Shixiang very angry.

If you dare to rob orders today, you dare to rob orders tomorrow. The thousand-mile dike will collapse into an ant hole. If it is not strangled at the beginning of the signs, the military discipline will be damaged and the morale of the army will be even worse. Taiping Camp will die even if it is not destroyed. Moreover, if you have the courage to rob privately, you will hide and not communicate. Everyone will do this, and the public treasury system will die in name only. This is something that Zhou Shixiang cannot tolerate. The public treasury system is the only way to unite people in Taiping Camp. If the public treasury does not exist, how can those promises be fulfilled? If the people do not get benefits, who will still be willing to work for you!

"I will definitely send someone to investigate this matter thoroughly. Don't worry. If someone really harms the villagers, I will never let it go and I will definitely give up justice to the people."

In public and private matters, Zhou Shixiang would not give up the robbery soldiers lightly, but he would not order people to investigate the matter in front of Song Yi and others, nor would he deal with the matter in front of these people. After all, such matters related to military discipline should be handled internally, and he would only give some compensation to the victims afterwards. He would not make this big deal and use a few heads of his own soldiers to show the good military discipline of the Taiping Camp to emerging people. This practice is of course of winning people's hearts, but it is not a good thing for the Taiping Camp, which is still weak and has a complex military composition.

If the people are dispersed, it will be difficult to lead the team. After going south to Xiangshan thousands of miles away, you will take the first step and take the action against your own family. Serious military discipline is not such a serious law. If you really do this, who would still be willing to follow you with your head? Put your heart in the favor. The soldiers of Taiping Camp are not soldiers in the strict sense. Even more than half of the officers are from bandits and green camps. Robbery is common for them. How can they be stopped by just one or two military discussions and a few orders? Therefore, it is necessary to purify military discipline, but they cannot kill people to establish their authority. They must use some other means, otherwise, they will inevitably be disappointed.

.........

The robbery made Zhou Shixiang feel bad, and how to deal with it made him even more trouble. Wuxin learned about the local situation from Song Yi and others, so he asked them to go down first, and when the matter was found out, he would definitely give them an explanation. Unexpectedly, these people did not leave as they said, but stood there and remained motionless.

Seeing that the few people were unwilling to leave, Zhou Shixiang couldn't help but ask them: "Why, are there anything else you have to do when you wait?"

After several people were silent for more than ten seconds, Song Yi still came forward to Zhou Shixiang and said, "I'm not hiding the general, we still have some things to ask the general."

Zhou Shixiang asked, "What's the matter?"

Song Yi whispered, wanting Zhou Tai and the others to say it, but Zhou Tai and the others dared not say anything at all. They had no choice but to sigh inwardly and said, "We are trying to ask the general when your army will leave this town?"

"Um?"

Looking forward to my departure? Zhou Shixiang frowned, his face darkened again, and he said unhappily: "Are you waiting for me to leave here as soon as possible?"

Although Zhou Shixiang was young, he had killed people. He was powerful even if he was not angry. Besides, he became angry. Song Yi felt nervous when he saw it. Although he had been a prefect, it was all from twenty years ago. Now, the Ming and Qing Dynasties are changing, and wars are frequent. The swords and guns of warriors are waving everywhere. What can the old man from the previous dynasty who returned home? How can he not be afraid?

In horror, he quickly explained: "General Zhou must not get me wrong. We are not looking forward to the general leaving as soon as possible. We just want to know your army's itinerary and organize the villagers of our town to provide some food and grass for your army to express our feelings."

"Yes, yes, that's true, it's not that I hope General Zhou will leave."

Zhou Tai and the others hurriedly followed each other, but their faces were a little strange. Li Laoquan was even more worried, which made Zhou Shixiang confused. He pondered for a moment and suddenly shouted: "I'm so brave, you are so brave, you dare to use the name of offering food to explore our military situation. It's really worth killing! Come on, drag it out for me and chop it!"

After drinking, Old Li was so scared that he knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing: "God of your life, General, please spare your life!" The old man in his decades kowtowed there, which made Zhou Shi feel sorry for him, and he felt that he was making a big fuss and was too intimidated.

Zhang An was so scared that he knelt down and shouted for mercy. Lin Zhengguo was so scared that his legs were trembling. Zhou Tai and Song Yi were not so unbearable. Although they were afraid, they did not kneel down and said repeatedly: "God of anger, general, calm of anger, we must not dare to have such thoughts, never dare!"

"If it weren't for this, how could I find out my itinerary?" Zhou Shixiang still looked furious.

"It's because..." Song Yi wanted to tell the truth, but he just couldn't say it.

"What's the reason!" Zhou Shixiang was impatient and shouted loudly.

Song Yi didn't know how to speak, but Zhou Tai took the initiative in desperation and shouted loudly: "If your army leaves the town as soon as possible, we can clean up the situation so as not to..." When he said this, he kept silent and looked at Zhou Shixiang with some fear.

Seeing that this man was not talking all his words, Zhou Shixiang was impatient and couldn't help but shouted angrily: "What can I avoid? Tell me quickly!"

This time, his eyes were wide open, and Zhou Tai was so scared that he kept wiping his forehead with his sleeves, and he couldn't speak completely. He stuttered: "I want to say...I want to say..."

Zhou Shixiang shouted again: "Speak quickly!"

"Old...Old..."

Zhou Tai had two old people in a row, but he couldn't tell. When he was in a hurry, Old Quan Li suddenly gritted his teeth and stared at Zhou Shixiang, and said in a trembling voice: "You little old man, can you ask General Zhou is stationed in this town?"

This question made Zhou Shixiang stunned and said in confusion: "What does this matter have to do with what you said?"

Mr. Li made up his mind and said bluntly: "If General Zhou cannot stay in this town for a long time, the old man would like to ask the general to lead his troops to leave as soon as possible, so as not to harm our emerging people!"

After Li Laoquan said it, Song Yi, Zhou Tai and others didn't know how Zhou Shixiang reacted, and they all stared at him in a daze.

What Li Laoquan said made Zhou Shixiang silent, and said for a while: "I will not stay here for a long time, but don't worry, even if I leave here, you will not be harmed by the Qing army."

"Why should the general guarantee that the Qing army will not cause harm to this town?"

Mr. Li completely didn't believe what Zhou Shixiang said, because he had heard the same words once a few months ago, but on the fourth day after the Ming army general finished saying this, more than 2,000 male men in the town called Green Camp to kill them.

Mr. Li didn't believe it, and Song Yi and the others didn't believe it. They didn't ask Zhou Shixiang to stay in this town because in their opinion, the Southern Ming Dynasty was already weak and could not last long. The Qing Dynasty was settled in the world. This young general named Zhou could not defeat the Qing army in Zhaoqing even if he was really stationed in Xinxing. In the end, the town would still be harmed by the Qing army. Only when the Ming army left quickly could they try to solve this matter. At worst, each family would lose money and go to the mansion to manage some money. It doesn't matter if the money was gone, but if the people were gone, nothing would be gone.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Shixiang assured them again with confidence, and he said, "Don't worry, I will say that the Qing army cannot harm you, so I will not harm you."

"What guarantee does the general have?"

When Li Laoquan said this, his face was full of despair. He believed that the young General Zhou was talking nonsense and coaxing them.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Shixiang said with certainty: "I will have a way to guarantee it."

"What method?" Almost at the same time, Song Yi, Zhou Tai and others asked in unison.

Zhou Shixiang glanced at them and said in a normal manner: "This method is to take you all away. In this way, you will naturally not be harmed by the Qing army."

"What?!"
