Chapter 1343
Until now, Xu Wenzhe understood why he accepted the invitation to join the empire? He asked himself, was he greedy for power? Obviously not. Power is more like a passing cloud for him. After enjoying a life of less than one person in the Taiping Sect, it is difficult for him to have much interest in the world's glory and wealth. Is that due to mutual appreciation? It seems that no, although Bo Xiang thinks very much about himself, it is not enough to change his decision. Otherwise, when Bo Xiang still abandoned the Holy Sect and joined the Western Xinjiang, he should have followed him.
Why is that for? The travel and life that has been around for so long has indeed made Xu Wenzhe feel a little. The world is not as narrow as he had imagined before, nor as simple as he had imagined. The prosperity of industrial economy in the Western continent and the development of agriculture and animal husbandry, the prosperity of Latin and Aegean shipping, and the prosperity of the Central continent have all opened Xu Wenzhe's eyes and made him feel extremely tired and ashamed of everything in the past Taiping Church. The idea that was almost crazy and paranoid now looks like a farce, and that experience is more like a crazy dream. Looking back, Xu Wenzhe feels how ridiculous everything he has struggled for before.
He was a very smart person, otherwise he would not have been selected as a major disciple by You Daofang. However, after experiencing so many ups and downs, Xu Wenzhe is no longer the trustworthy Xu Wenzhe. Such a long ups and downs have been enough to allow a fanatical Xu Wenzhe to complete his spiritual transformation.
After returning to the Eastern Continent, Xu Wenzhe was quite moved by the words of Bo Xiang. He saw a powerful Tang Dynasty rising in the hands of Li Wufeng. A huge group representing the interests of the Tang nation and the empire were about to enter the entire continent to fight for everything they deserve. So should he just be a bystander and look at him coldly, or would he devote himself to this torrent and try hard to show himself?
The meeting with Li Wufeng made Xu Wenzhe feel the gap between himself and the other party again. While he was still struggling to find the law of how poor people can get rid of poverty, Li Wufeng was already devoted to the development of the local economy and working hard to improve the living standards of local people. Look at the Western Xinjiang territory under Li Wufeng's jurisdiction. The northwest, which was originally more barren than Beiyuan and Yanyun, can make such rapid progress in just a few years, and the people's living standards have steadily improved, and Taiping Cult can't put it in this area.
Taking root, Xu Wenzhe had already had some ideas since then, and now he was able to talk to the other side with his thoughts and questions with heart-to-heart. The other party also gave him an answer without any concealment. Because he should say that although the answer is not perfect, Xu Wenzhe must admit that this answer is the most practical and feasible. Compared with the ideal proposed by Taiping Cult, it can only be said that it is a beautiful idea that exists in the illusory world and cannot be realized in the actual world.
This conversation eventually prompted Xu Wenzhe to accept the invitation to join the Empire, and changed his name to Xu Bin, directly taking on the establishment of the Empire Security Bureau. With the help of Diao Su and Bo Jinchen, a large number of capable personnel from various channels have been gathered in succession under Xu Wenzhe, causing the power of the Empire Security Bureau to develop suddenly. The various news coming from Beiyuan area are largely the achievements of the Empire Security Bureau.
Although the Taiping Education and Academic Affairs was not the focus of Xu Wenzhe when he was the eldest young master, as the eldest young master, he was involved in all aspects of the Taiping Holy Teaching. The development of Taiping Education in Beiyuan is not unfamiliar with him. Whether in Pinglu or Yulin, the development of Taiping Education in this area is mostly concentrated in the countryside, especially in the remote countryside. Xu Wenzhe knew about several key areas, but after all, he did not directly investigate the academic affairs, and Xu Wenzhe was not very clear about the specific situation. However, with this clue, and many of the people under his command were also from the Taiping Education surrendered to the empire, all of this seemed natural under his command.
"Sir, everything has been arranged. Two regiments of the Second Division of the Fifth Army have arrived. Now they have arrived at the designated location and are on standby. The garrisons and guards in the city have not notified them as you request." The door creaked, and the subordinates with excitement came in, trying their best to suppress their inner excitement and said in a deep voice.
"Are the people from the Yulin Interior Affairs Office in place?" Xu Bin (Xu Wenzhe) asked calmly. This is just a natural thing, and it is not worth making a fuss. Although it is the first battle since the establishment of the Empire Security Bureau, Xu Bin is absolutely sure to win this game.
"We have already arrived. They are now on standby in the yamen, and our people stay with them. We have also sent people to contact the garrison there. If there is any abnormality, we can be dispatched at any time."
"Don't be so nervous. There are no waves in Yulin City. Now we need to look at the two key areas we have arranged. The city's security forces are not reliable. Although the garrison does not have such concerns, in order to prevent the news from leaking, it is better not to use theirs. I believe no one will guess." Xu Bin waved his hand and knocked out the oil lamp on the desk, and his figure flashed out. "It's time to get over it. Let's see how much progress the Holy Church has made in the past two years."
The army was like a snake wandering around the mountains, without any lights or commands. Only the guide who took the lead and two other Imperial Security Bureau personnel led the way. Tian Tao swallowed a mouthful and suppressed the questions in his heart and did not ask the guy next to him who had been walking side by side. These guys from the Imperial Security Bureau seemed to have a mysterious and murderous aura on their bodies. Walking by his side made him feel chilled. After walking for two hours, he didn't say a word of extra words. He was just urging him to rush to reincarnate, as if he was busy showing up at all. Tian Tao was very unhappy, but the commander of the division cooperated with all his instructions and did not ask too much. Everything was implemented according to the other party's requirements. Even if he was a little dissatisfied, he could only hold his heart.
Turning around the valley ahead was Kushui Village, Liao Chong felt nervous. Logically, he was also a person who had rolled in the sea of blood. He had been fighting in several places for several years. He dared not be indifferent to life and death, but he was not surprised. Looking at the murderous soldiers around him, you can clearly see that those who could barely be called his colleagues had no chance in front of these soldiers. Liao Chong felt a little reluctant, but since he left the Holy Sect and followed Bo Xiang and joined the imperial camp, Liao Chong knew that if he wanted to gain a foothold in the new camp, he must be ruthless, be tough enough, and be ruthless enough to do things. Only in this way can he, a peaceful surrender, truly come out of a world again.
The joint efforts of the Prime Minister Bo and the Grand Master made Liao Chong understand that the former Taiping Holy Sect had finally become history, and the historical trend was unstoppable. The rise of the Tang Empire would inevitably be based on the corpses of countless people. If you want not to become those corpses, you can only step on those corpses. Liao Chong accepted the summons of the former corpses and joined the Empire Security Bureau without hesitation. He understood that the Grand Master needed to use his former robes to establish the prestige of the Imperial Security Bureau and the brothers who followed him in front of him.
Taking the lead and jumped to the high ground, Liao Chong used a gesture to signal Tian Tao to temporarily stop the march. He needed to determine the situation. Soon a black shadow came over. After a while of handover, Liao Chong confirmed that everything was normal and could proceed as planned.
The dark village was not big, scattered in the flat area under the valley. There were only a hundred families, but a brigade of regular army dispatched. Tian Tao felt that it was a bit of a big deal. At this time, he learned about his mission from the other party. There was nothing to be surprised to destroy such rebels. Tian Tao was just a pity that he finally got a job but was such an insignificant product. But when he thought about it, the Empire Security Bureau came forward, which was enough to show the Empire's attention to these issues. If this task was not completed well, it would be even more glorious than winning a victory. Thinking of this, Tian Tao felt much better.
The fire broke out quietly, and several people hurried on the rocks and quickly determined the plan based on the topographic map. The people from the Empire Security Bureau also listed the appearance and clothing characteristics of several important figures that might appear in this area. Tian Tao remembered it seriously and could see that the guys described should be the important leaders of the rebel forces, that is, the remnants of the Taiping Cult. If he took one of them, his trip would not be in vain. As for these rebels, the people were just food on the plate, and his subordinates would let them realize the consequences of rebels.
The four squadrons quickly dispersed and approached the village from different directions, and soon controlled the key passes. The combat squads were fully armed. As the torches suddenly raised, various armed combat squads quickly advanced into the village. The shouts of shouts, the barking of dogs, struggles, and the fighting quickly spread throughout the village.
Liao Chong wanted to admit that the regular army of the imperial army was indeed not on the same level as the original Taiping Army and the Tanghe Empire army in terms of discipline and combat effectiveness. Although the methods were cruel and ruthless, they did not see the indiscriminate killing, looting and adultery he imagined. The soldiers seemed to be more interested in completing the task successfully, and the qualities shown by the officers made Liao Chong realize once again why the Tang Empire rose so unstoppable.
