I don't want to do it, but he has a health bar

Chapter 99 They Clearly Died Heroically (Subscription Request)
If you ask the people in the Demon-Subduing Camp to pick up swords and kill monsters, they will do it without hesitation. They are real men and there is no hesitation at all.

But they are not good at dealing with the people.

Especially under feudal dynasties, once a civil uprising broke out in a certain place, the censors would become very excited.

That pen can directly produce sparks to impeach you all day long. If you don't give an explanation when you get to the top, then you can just wait to be labeled as self-willed by the censors and historians. You will definitely be one of the tyrants and incompetent rulers in future generations.

If most of the intellectuals in the world were executed, there would definitely be some who were innocent.

But if we kill every other one, there will definitely be some that slip through the net.

Especially since the Zhao family came to power, successive dynasties have been extremely wary of military generals.

Therefore, when dealing with a military organization like the Demon-Subduing Camp, which has a combat capability that exceeds the standard, one must be even more cautious.

This task would be much easier if the soldiers from the three camps were asked to do it.

After all, there is a saying among the people that "bandits pass by like combs, and soldiers pass by like rakes."

Pei Guanyin knew that there must be someone behind these people who were blocking the way. Maybe the person behind the scenes had sent them to his door, so he pulled Lu Jing and said, "General Lu, don't be impulsive."

It would be a lot of fun if we treated this as killing all the termites and monsters in the Zhen'an Division.

After all, these are not the dozens or hundreds of corrupt officials from the Zhen'an Division, nor are they monsters that the more they are killed the better.

These are ordinary people!
If you are not careful, you may be stripped of your official uniform or even lose your head.

Lu Jing smiled: "Don't worry, I'm not stupid."

He stood out from the crowd, and his tall and majestic figure made many skinny common people feel his majesty unconsciously. Facing Lu Jing who stood out from the crowd, they subconsciously began to retreat.

Lu Jing smiled and said, "Fellow villagers! Don't be afraid. Although I don't know what you are doing here, since you are here, we have to entertain you well."

As soon as he said this, the people surrounding him became even more frightened.

But when they thought that there was no way to survive if they retreated, and that there might be even more vicious people behind them, this group of people simply made up their minds and continued to stop Lu Jing and his men.

But this group of coastal residents did not see Lu Jing and his men use force. Instead, they saw Lu Jing whispering a few words to the people around him, and then the two beauties who looked like fairies hurried to do their work.

When night fell, bonfires were lit near the village near the sea, and many soldiers even built military tents on the spot.

The three thousand people led by Lu Jing can be regarded as a complete barracks organization.

Although they were traveling light, the horses and carriages were still carrying several days' worth of supplies.

So under Lu Jing's orders, all the soldiers set up camp on the spot and began to cook meals.

Because they followed Lu Jing, these soldiers had a lot of money, so they had no interest in these poor people. In addition, Lu Jing issued a strict military order that anyone who disturbed or harmed the people would be executed, so these soldiers would not take action against these coastal people.

Didn't even bother to take a look.

After the meals were arranged in the temporary military camp, Lu Jing ordered the soldiers to deliver them to the pale and skinny civilians.

Wow!
This puzzled many soldiers.

Even the Lingyuan Realm officers selected by Lu Jing were confused. They only brought enough supplies for three to five days. Why did they have to feed the civilians now?

Facing the doubts, Lu Jing said: "If you think I did something wrong, you can pack up and go back to where you came from. But if you violate military orders while leaving, I will still punish you severely. Otherwise, just follow the order!"

Although they were reluctant, the soldiers still did as they were told.

When bowls of thick porridge with pickles and dried meat were delivered to the people, they were also stunned!

In the past, when they gathered together to cause trouble, which officer or soldier did not chase them away like dogs?
What's going on now?
Is there something poisonous in this porridge?

Lu Jing took the lead and took the bowl of thick porridge from an old man in the lead, drank two mouthfuls, and then stuffed it back: "Drink it, it's not poisonous."

After saying this, he took the bowls from the people one by one and drank from them.

Seeing Lu Jing doing this, the people immediately began to slurp the thick porridge hungrily.

This thick porridge contains not only corn and soybeans, but also rice and fatty bacon!
In fact, the more precious thing among them is salt, but these are a group of sea dwellers who make a living on the seashore, so they are not short of salt in normal times.

Fat is a rarer commodity.

So these people licked the bowl clean.

For a while, the sound of slurping came one after another, filling the entire place.

When Song Yuheng and Pei Guanyin saw Lu Jing doing this, they didn't understand at all, and even felt that Lu Jing was particularly strange!
Oh my God!
Is this killer possessed by evil spirits today?
So gentle and easy to talk to?

In front of the simple military tent, Song Yuheng touched Lu Jing's forehead as if she had seen a ghost. She felt around and wondered, "It's normal. There's no sign of evil spirits on his body. Something's wrong! Let me try the talisman again."

Lu Jing: "..."

He rolled his eyes: "Song Tou'er~"

Song Yuheng: "Are you really okay?"

Lu Jing smiled and said, "Really. I understand why these people gathered here, so I asked you to send someone to invite Hu Butang to come over overnight. I have a plan."

Song Yuheng scratched his head. Strategy?

This idiot actually knows how to use strategies?

She had always thought that Lu Jing was a brute with muscles growing all over his brain, but she didn't expect to hear such a strange word from Lu Jing's mouth today.

Pei Guanyin was also getting impatient. She wondered, "Commander Lu, can you give us a hint in advance? We are also very curious!" Lu Jing laughed and said, "You will know."

The people who took the lead in gathering around the crowd were also puzzled and anxious.

Especially the elders from several villages, they are now gathered together to discuss.

"What's going on? Why am I so unsure?"

"Who cares about their fanfare? These officials will only stay for a while and then leave. So we should still listen to our locals."

Although life is hard following the local gentry, they will not be able to survive if they don't follow them.

After all, these officials are just here to go through the motions, which is truly the case of "the gentry are permanent, but the officials are transient."

"Yes, that's the only solution. We can only fight till the end!"

……

That night, Hu Butang, who received the news, rushed to Lu Jing's temporary military camp at full speed under the protection of Taoist Yunshui.

As soon as they met, the dusty Hu Butang immediately raised his hand to stop them and said, "No need to be so polite, Lieutenant General Lu! You did a great job!"

Fortunately, there was no conflict as so many people gathered around.

Otherwise, the impeachment memorials from the censors in the court alone would be enough to drown him!

Hu Butang was so angry that he yelled, "What a bunch of bastards! They actually forced the people to do such a thing just to impeach me!"

Lu Jinggao said with great EQ: "Your Excellency is wise and decisive, and you are experienced. You must have a lot of experience in dealing with such incidents. Can you teach me?"

Oh?
Hu Butang put his hands behind his back and turned his head, his eyes quite playful: "Okay, then I'll tell you. In the matter of stabilizing the southeast, our enemies have never been just monsters, pirates and Japanese pirates, but also the wealthy families in the southeast. That's why I said before that we should attack the enemy first and wrestle with them second, and we should use both suppression and appeasement to divide and disintegrate them."

"So I will forgive those people who gathered to cause trouble, appease them, and find the leaders among them to persuade them with benefits and reason."

"After dividing and disintegrating them, we can find out who is behind this."

Lu Jing then asked: "What is the benefit of moving it, and what is the reason for it?"

Hu Butang frowned: "Reduce taxes and cultivate land to move them, be loyal to the emperor and love the country to make them understand."

Lu Jing didn't say anything after hearing this, but just smiled with a hint of nonchalantness in his eyes.

Such a high emotional intelligence performance made Hu Butang excited. He took two quick steps to Lu Jing and asked aggressively: "General Lu seems to have some insights?"

Lu Jing knew that Hu had taken the bait, so he refused and said, "I have no achievements, so I dare not discuss state affairs."

Hu Butang rolled his eyes in his heart!
Little one!
Play this with me!
Hu Butang pretended to be angry and said, "Speak! You are not guilty!"

Lu Jing said immediately: "Your Excellency's method is indeed brilliant, but it is too slow. If I were to do it, I would find out who is behind this, and then I would lock them all up, interrogate them, and then slaughter them right in front of these people! After that, I would lead these people to fight and kill the local tyrants."

Saying,

Lu Jing recalled the dirty things that happened in the counties and said, "I know that there are all kinds of mortgages, usury and land annexation in the counties and towns. I will search out the land sales deeds of the gentry and burn them in public, and then return the land that was maliciously annexed to these people."

Hu Butang was immediately horrified!
He swung his sleeves violently: "Nonsense! You are rebelling! Even if you have ten heads, they are not enough to chop off!"

Lu Jing looked at Hu Butang and said, "Then let's ask the cabinet for permission."

Hu Butang was so angry that he laughed. He pointed at Lu Jing's sword and said, "Then I ask you to chop your own neck with the sword. Can you do it?"

The cabinet elders are the largest aristocratic family in the world today!

What's the difference between what you're doing and asking them to cut their own necks with a knife?
Not to mention that the ministers disagree and are unwilling to do so, even if they agree and are willing, they will have to step down the next day once the decree is issued.

Do you really think that the wealthy and powerful families in various places are just here to eat and do nothing?
Hu Bu Tang was so angry that his beard was shaking: "You! You are still young! And you guys! Don't say a single word out of here today!"

He still values ​​talent.

Seeing Hu Butang acting like this, Lu Jing sighed in his heart.

Sure enough, some experiences cannot be applied mechanically.

But Lu Jing smiled and said, "So, killing a group of gentry is no problem, right?"

what?
Hu Butang was stunned for a moment, then he was so angry that he laughed.

So this guy is waiting for me here?

Lu Jing had no choice.

After thousands of years of corruption, many times they would absolutely not agree to your request to open a window in the room, and they would shout that the ancestral laws cannot be changed.

But if you want to take off the roof from the beginning, then they will discuss with you again: "Can you open a window first?"

Hu Bu Tang said with a stern face: "Killing a group of gentry is not a big problem, but the problem is what should we do with them after we kill them?"

Lu Jing also followed suit with a serious expression, and said righteously: "What do you mean by let us kill him?"

"They clearly died bravely to fight against the evil!"

Hu Butang: “?”
