Big watermelon gnaws. However, the good mood disappeared within a few days.
Ming Yu looked at the letter in his hand, his hands trembled slightly, and in the end he was so angry that he slammed his fist on the table, "It's unreasonable! I haven't troubled you yet, but you are the first to provoke me, that's good! Very good! Very good!" Ming Yu gritted his teeth and said several times that were very good.
"My lord, what should I do now? These thieves come and go like the wind. We built tunnels, and the progress of the stockade is slow. Now there are only a dozen villages as pilots, and the effect is not very obvious at all." Xu Wen was a little worried, He also received a report saying that Ningshi Village was ransacked by bandits the day before yesterday, so he rushed to the palace to report the report.
Ningshi Village is located in the northwest of Liangcheng, not too far from Liangcheng, and has a good geographical location. It is considered a relatively large village in Liangzhou. Such a large village is relatively safe in terms of its geographical location and population. I didn't expect these thieves to have their ideas on them. The village was looted overnight, and many villagers lost their lives in their dreams. Some villagers who escaped rushed to report the news overnight. When the news spread, Liangzhou City was in an uproar.
In the past, these bandits only dared to rob some small remote villages, but now they brazenly committed crimes around Liangcheng.
Liu Zhifu had already rushed over after receiving the letter. However, the incident had already happened, and he could only do the aftermath work in the past.
"These thieves are really damned! However, they ran away without a trace after looting a village, and there is no way to catch them." Xu Wen said angrily.
Ming Yu thought of the massacre of the village they encountered when they first came to Liangzhou. The Yi people did not regard the Han people as human beings and slaughtered them wantonly. After all, if they are not my race, their hearts must be different. However, these thieves and bandits are also members of Dayan, but it is unbearable to be cruel to their compatriots.
Ming Yu clenched his fists, he already had the heart to rectify, but he has not been able to do so. Now it seems that it is really unbearable.
What Xu Wen said is quite right, there are countless bandits, big and small, in Liangzhou, and the number of forces is not the same. If the government arrests them with great fanfare, it will only make these thieves hide and wait for an opportunity. If you just capture some youngsters, there is no harm to the thieves and robbers, I am afraid they will scare the snakes, if you want to beat them, you must beat them painfully and uproot them, so as to solve the future troubles.
However, this matter is really not easy. If it was really easy to solve the bandits, the border garrison would have sent people to encircle and suppress them long ago. Why would they wait until today and let them commit numerous crimes.
"It's not that there is no way, the way is people's thinking, and there must be a way to deal with it." Ming Yu paced back and forth in the hall, his brows furrowed slightly.
Xu Wen looked at him without blinking, his eyes were shining, and if the prince said there is a way, then there must be a way. He has been with the lord for so long, and he has seen the lord's resolute and decisive manner, if he is not sure, the lord will never say such a thing.
Xu Wen asked hopefully: "What can the lord do?"
Ming Yu shook his head, "There is no clue yet, we still need everyone to brainstorm and offer advice and suggestions."
Xu Wen was a little disappointed, even King Duan said there was no other way, how could other people have a way? Is it necessary to wait a few years, until the common people's villages in Liangzhou have built underground passages and villages before they can deal with these bandits
The prince wanted to help the villagers fight against the barbarian bandits, so he came up with the idea of turning everyone into a soldier, and let the villages build maze-like underground passages, which can be attacked and defended, but can also protect the lives and property of the people.
But in this way, how long will we have to wait, every day we wait, more people will suffer.
Ming Yu seemed to have seen through his thoughts, and said loudly: "This king will never let them go unpunished. If you want to get rid of the bandits, you must first make sufficient preparations and find out the details of the bandits in Liangzhou. You have to know yourself and the enemy before you can make a plan to deal with it.”
Ming Yu doesn't fight uncertain battles, he can't do it alone in the banditry, he has to find a helper.
Ming Yu's words made Xu Wen nod repeatedly, the prince's words were not unreasonable, if someone came and said that bandits are nothing to worry about, and Xu Wen might consider the authenticity of these words. King Duan didn't take care of everything, but let him rest assured that with King Duan around, there would definitely be a solution to this matter.
Xu Wen patted his chest and stood up a little excitedly, "If there is anything the prince needs to do, just ask, and the minister will definitely do it for the prince."
Xu Wen is a down-to-earth, capable person, and being appreciated by Ming Yu from a junior minister has already proved his reliability. Ming Yu's ability to entrust him with the construction of tunnels in the village shows his ability.
"This king knows that you are meticulous in your work and understands the situation in Liangzhou as a whole. Go and help me sort out and collect the current power distribution of Liangzhou thieves and bandits, as well as the relationship between various forces, the number of people, etc., as detailed and accurate as possible. If you don't know Yes, you hand it over to Commander Mo and ask him to bring someone to investigate, the more detailed the better." Ming Yu thought for a while before ordering.
Xu Wen nodded in agreement, and he immediately went to do it.
Ming Yu nodded, "As for your previous affairs, you can't leave them behind. You can leave them to trusted and capable people to continue to supervise the construction. The process must be accelerated."
After Xu Wen left, Ming Yu couldn't sit still, and finally couldn't stay any longer, so he asked someone to prepare a car and drove to Liu Zhifu's mansion.
Magistrate Liu welcomed Ming Yu into the door, and General Wei was also there, both of them looked bad. Come to think of it, Liangzhou city is full of uproar when such a big event happened. Liu Zhifu is in charge of the government orders of a government, and he is in charge of each county, announcing national government orders, and governing the people under his jurisdiction. As the commander of the frontier garrison, General Wei not only has to guard against the barbarians, but also has the responsibility to catch bandits and bandits.
It's a good thing now, under their noses, they are blatantly looting and killing. I'm afraid their political achievements will be smeared with a huge black spot.
Banditry has always been infested in Liangzhou, but they can only do harm to a slightly remote place, and the losses caused by minor disturbances are also under control. And because these people's whereabouts are erratic, they often loot one place and immediately move to other places, or break up into pieces and hide among the people, or immediately flee into deep mountains and old forests, it is really difficult to get accurate information about them. It's also like this, they will be helpless with them.
Just like the Ningshi Village case the day before yesterday, when they got the news and rushed over, the culprit had long since disappeared, and when Prefect Liu rushed over, there were no clues.
General Wei's eyes lit up when he saw Ming Yu coming, he didn't expect the prince to come so soon, which shows that the prince is also very concerned about this matter. King Duan has always had a lot of ideas, if King Duan thinks of a way out of it, maybe things can turn around.
This matter has a great impact, and it is impossible to hide it. They should have received a lot of blame. They have already made a confession. Even if His Majesty blames it, they hope to have a chance to make up for their mistakes and wipe out these bandits. Can stabilize people's hearts.
"How about the casualties in Ningshi Village this time?" Ming Yu asked bluntly as soon as he entered the door.
Liu Zhifu was taken aback for a moment, but fortunately he rushed over immediately and understood everything clearly. He also reacted after being stunned for a moment, and replied: "Ningshi Village is a relatively large village near Liangzhou. Two or three."
Although he had expected it, Ming Yu couldn't help but gasped, his heart felt cold, but he hated these people even more, a group of bullying beasts, he wished he could skin them and cramp them.
Seeing Ming Yu's gloomy face, General Wei stood up and said, "Your Majesty, this matter is really unexpected, and all the ministers are responsible. After the bandits are wiped out, the ministers are willing to be punished."
Ming Yu sneered: "Extermination? Now you have a way to exterminate the thieves?"
I'm afraid they didn't take these thieves to heart at all, and they always thought that little thieves were nothing to worry about, raising tigers as troubles and allowing them to grow, that's why they are causing troubles today. More than two hundred lives! It was ruined because of the disapproving attitude of these people.
Ming Yu hated it, not only hated the bandits, but also hated the inaction of these officials, who obviously could nip the disaster in the bud, but waited for the disaster to happen before remedial it.
Both of them had nothing to say, or they both felt remorse. They had always focused on the barbarians to prevent the barbarians from invading. They think that these thieves and bandits are small and troublesome, and if they spare manpower to deal with these thieves, firstly, the thieves are not easy to wipe out, secondly, it will cost a lot of manpower and material resources, and thirdly, I am afraid that the effect of investing manpower and material resources not big. No one is willing to do such a thankless task, so they can only let it go, but they don't know that the people in the border areas have suffered from it for a long time.

Liu Zhifu frowned, if there is really a way to deal with bandits, they don't need to discuss it here.
"My lord, I have checked, these bandits should be Song Qingfu's men who appeared only two years ago. Two years ago they
