Chapter 661 - 472: This Army Is Different

The citizens in the nearby houses, witnessing this scene, were all shocked.

"Did I hear it wrong? They even kill their own people?"

"They actually don’t spare even their own people if they make a mistake. Is this for real?"

Outside the house, the expressionless military policeman coldly said, "Liu Jishan, you seem quite dissatisfied?"

Kneeling on the ground, held down by two men, Liu Jishan disdainfully said, "I just played with a woman, what’s the big deal? When I was risking my life in battle, I didn’t see any of you guys, and now you’re all swaggering around?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Jishan got slapped by the military policeman.

These military policemen of the Qingshan Army were handpicked by Tang Jianjun, and many were personally trained by him.

Among them, many techniques were learned from Zheng Yi’s Dragon Slaying Technique.

They could not tolerate any grains of sand in their eyes.

"Liu Jishan! How could you even say such things? How many times has the strategist told us? We Qingshan Army are the people, and we are also the army of the people."

"Why did we rise up against the Imperial Court? It wasn’t to ride on the heads of the people like the Dog Court, but for the countless poor people across the land, so they wouldn’t be bullied by the Dog Court anymore!"

"You, Liu Jishan, are also from a poor background and were once bullied by mine bosses and landlords. Now, just because you’ve won a battle, you’re behaving like those people from the Dog Court?"

"We acknowledge your bravery, but our Qingshan Army doesn’t need beasts who bully the people."

Liu Jishan was left speechless by the military policeman. Although subdued, he still held his head high, displaying an ’I was in the right because I made contributions’ look.

He looked down upon that military policeman who had no achievements at all.

Now, however, his face was red with embarrassment, and he lowered his head, not daring to meet the other’s gaze.

"Now, what else do you have to say?" the military policeman asked deliberately, word by word.

Liu Jishan kept silent, his head bowed, eyes filled with remorseful tears. Only then did he suddenly realize the irreversible mistake he had made.

Unfortunately, it was too late for regrets.

"Execute!" The military policeman, although somewhat reluctant, spoke with an extremely firm tone, without any wavering.

The blade flashed, and Liu Jishan’s head fell to the ground.

Such incidents happened frequently within Linjiang City.

The Qingshan Army, after all, hadn’t been established for long, and many, restricted by the Cangyan Realm’s environment, didn’t even know how to write their own names.

Moreover, due to the rapid expansion and Hex Chengpi’s carefree nature.

All these factors combined resulted in the Qingshan Army being uneven in quality.

Even though Tang Jianjun only slept for two hours a day, exhausting his brain using various techniques learned from Zheng Yi, it was impossible to reorganize several thousand people in such a short time.

And from a certain angle, the fact that Tang Jianjun could achieve this level was already a miracle.

If not for his decent cultivation and Hex Chengpi’s inherent charisma, leading to the overall chivalrous spirit of the Qingshan Army, they wouldn’t have reached this extent.

Under the strict control of the military police, the Qingshan Army indeed maintained military discipline.

Those who occasionally made mistakes were dealt with timely, serving as a deterrent and preventing greater disasters.

By the time the lamps were lit, the Qingshan Army could be said to have largely controlled Linjiang City.

"Strategist, now that we’ve seized Linjiang City, what should we do next? We brothers are all rough men and know nothing about governing a city." Hex Chengpi spread his hands, ready to shrug off the responsibility.

Tang Jianjun sighed helplessly; when Hex Chengpi wanted to attack Linjiang City, he already knew this would happen.

He never thought about long-term strategy; his mind only focused on avenging his brothers.

Although Tang Jianjun had mentioned these issues before and proposed some solutions.

Hex Chengpi agreed readily at the time, just to get his consent to attack the city.

Now, he pushed all these troublesome matters entirely onto him.

Despite the grumbling, Tang Jianjun meticulously handled all the tasks: "Marshal, when we sent people into the city earlier, I also had them gather information on the city’s situation."

"Although the City Lord and General Changg escaped, many officials didn’t have the time to flee for various reasons. Some of them have a good reputation, and we can recruit them to continue governing Linjiang City."

"These people are familiar with the situation in Linjiang City and have administrative experience, which is much better than those recruited temporarily."

"I have also invited some notable figures in the city for further..."

It took almost half an hour for Tang Jianjun to clarify all these arrangements.

Although Hex Chengpi yawned throughout, he continuously praised: "The strategist didn’t let me down. Let’s follow the strategist’s plan for these matters."

"I’m very curious why I’ve never heard of such a talented strategist before?"

"Thank you for the compliment, Marshal, I’m just..." Realizing his slip, Tang Jianjun nonchalantly changed the subject: "I’ve just thought more than others, that’s all."

"Marshal, you should rest first; I’ll go and arrange the subsequent matters."

After Tang Jianjun left, Hex Chengpi, who was initially drowsy, now looked remarkably alert: "Who exactly is able to train such a formidable strategist and place someone like this by my side? What is their intention?"

As Tang Jianjun turned back for a glance, he smiled bitterly to himself: "What kind of talented strategist am I? I’m merely using what my teacher taught me, memorizing it thoroughly, and applying it one by one."
