Chapter 139
Shen Rang didn't know Chao Tian, ​​but Xu Da, the military commander of Dengzhou, naturally recognized him. As soon as he saw Xu Da rushing in, Shen Rang knew that the person he was arresting was Laiyanghou, Penglai Jiedu envoy Little Heavenly King Chao Tian.

Finished!

Shen Rang was devastated. Hearing Xu Da's roar, he shuddered subconsciously, walked down obediently, and knelt down in front of Chao Tian with a plop, unable to say a word, just kowtowed.

"Lord!"

"The future is late, please punish me, my lord!"

Xu Da also knelt down on the ground with a face full of self-blame.

Chao Tian's face was as frosty as he glanced at Xu Da and then at Shen Rang, who was kowtowing as if he was pounding garlic.

"Suppress Shen Rang and others, and interrogate them strictly to see if there are any accomplices. All relevant personnel will be severely punished!"

After Chao Tian finished speaking, he took Li Yuanfang and left the prison camp angrily.

"Put these people in prison!"

After Chao Tian left, Xu Da got up and looked at Shen Rang with even more anger. A good mouse dropping spoiled a pot of soup.

The lord led the troops and handed over Dengzhou to them. He didn't expect such a thing to happen just after he came back.

At this moment, Xu Da blamed himself immensely, and was ashamed of the little heavenly king Chao Tian's trust in him.

What happened to Shen Rang directly caused a huge commotion in Dengzhou City.

The Dengzhou officialdom was turned upside down. The Dengzhou magistrate Zu Shiyuan, the Dengzhou general judge Lou Minzhong, the Dengzhou military commander Xu Da, and the Dengzhou naval commander Zheng Chenggong were directly outraged.

Lou Minzhong personally interrogated and investigated, and overnight, hundreds of officials in Dengzhou, large and small, were thrown into prison by the vicious Dengzhou soldiers.

Dengzhou officialdom is cleared!
Jiedushi's mansion, in the back hall study.

With all the cultural and military equipment under Chao Tian's command, the ancestor of the prefect reported all the corrupt officials, landlords and bullies in Dengzhou arrested in the past two days.

"It's me who failed the lord's high expectations and let Shen Rang and others run amok. Please punish the lord."

After the report, Zu Shiyuan knelt down towards Chao Tian with self-blame and apologized in a deep voice. Next to him, Xu Da, Lou Minzhong, Zheng Chenggong and others also knelt down.

Chao Tian glanced at the few people kneeling on the ground, and sighed softly in his heart.

"Get up!"

When everyone got up, Chao Tian continued: "This matter is bad in nature, everyone, think about it, if Shen Rang and that guy didn't arrest me this time, but an ordinary person, what would be the consequences?"

"The consequence is that the thief Shen Rang is still at large, and I will never have peace in Dengzhou."

"This incident also sounded a wake-up call for us. Anti-corruption is always on the way, and we should never take it lightly. Corrupt officials must be severely punished and never tolerated."

"The treatment of corrupt officials must be written into the law and dealt with severely, so that future generations will not be harmed and officials will not dare to touch corruption."

"In addition, I have decided that Jinyiwei will set up a supervisory department to be responsible for inspecting officials. It is only responsible for investigation, not for arrest and interrogation. Yuanfang will be in charge of it!"

Everyone listened to Chao Tian's series of actions with solemn faces, and they all agreed in their hearts.

There are such rampant officials in the small Dengzhou Prefecture. If it occupies a larger territory in the future, there may be some ghosts and monsters coming out.

To guard against inevitability, and to completely eradicate it from now on, I have to say that the Lord is still far-sighted.

Thinking of this, military advisors Liu Bowen, Li Shanchang, General Lu and other literati's admiration for Chao Tian became more and more profound.

"Although there are corrupt officials such as Shen Rang in Dengzhou, it is just a small disease. Thanks to your efforts, the development and prosperity of Dengzhou is obvious to all."

As soon as Chao Tian changed his voice, he affirmed the achievements of Zu Shiyuan, Lou Minzhong and others.

Then Chao Tian looked at the people in the lobby.

"How has Dengzhou developed in the past six months? Tell me today."

This is also the purpose of Chao Tian calling everyone here today, to hear about the current development of Dengzhou City, the Dengzhou Water and Land Guards, the craftsmen of Shenji Camp, and the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce.

As the prefect of Dengzhou, Zu Shiyuan naturally did his part and stood up. He knew the current situation of Dengzhou well and had a plan in mind.

"My lord, Dengzhou is now as prosperous as Daming Mansion, Jiankang Mansion, Hangzhou Mansion and other metropolises, and the ports and wharfs are full of ships."

"Dengzhou has become the largest port city in the north of the Great Song Dynasty. Caravans from overseas countries such as Korea and Dongying can be seen everywhere here."

"Today's Dengzhou has reserves of money and food, enough to supply 30 troops for [-] years."

Zu Shiyuan is like a treasure, and every thing has detailed data. It seems that there is no difficulty in Zu Shiyuan's complicated data, and he blurts out and talks endlessly.

Hearing Zu Shiyuan's good report, Chao Tian couldn't help nodding in satisfaction.

It can be seen that Zu Shiyuan, Lou Minzhong, and Lu Jiang have indeed spent a lot of effort in the development of Dengzhou.

After Zu Shiyuan finished speaking, Xu Da, the military commander of Dengzhou, stood up and clasped his fists heavily at Chao Tian.

"My lord, the Dengzhou garrison has 1 regular soldiers and [-] reserve troops. They are all elite troops."

"Now led by Jiuzhilong Shijin, he is stationed on Dengyun Mountain."

"To the outside world, he claims to be the King of the Mountain who occupies the mountain as the king, and most of Dengzhou's grain and grass are also stored in Dengyun Mountain."

"The [-] garrison troops are all elite cavalry. In the past six months, the last general led the Dengzhou cavalry to conquer bandits and bandits. The bandits in the entire Dengzhou and nearby prefectures and counties have now disappeared. The combat effectiveness of the Dengzhou cavalry In the end, the general thinks it is no less than the iron cavalry under Chao's army."

Speaking of the [-] Dengzhou iron cavalry under his command, Xu Da looked proud and confident.

Chao Tian nodded in satisfaction, and he was also very happy that he had 120% confidence in Xu Da's ability.

Unexpectedly, in this Dengzhou city, he also had an elite cavalry unit, Xu Da's Dengzhou Iron Cavalry.

"Hahaha…"

"Tiande (Xu Da's word) has worked hard. In just half a year, he has trained an elite iron cavalry. He is indeed a famous general in the world."

"Since this is the case, the Dengzhou garrison horse has officially been renamed the Dengzhou Iron Cavalry. It is still under the command of Tiande, and Feilong General Liu Yun is the deputy general."

Chao Tian simply gave the Dengzhou garrison army a formal title, first to boost morale and to reward meritorious deeds, and second, Chao Tian also had the idea of ​​letting Xu Da lead the army alone by taking this opportunity.

It is naturally impossible for the dignified founding general of the Ming Dynasty to stay in the rear all the time.

"Thank you, my lord, for the name!"

Xu Da was overjoyed. Chao Tian's naming was affirmation of his achievements, and this was also the first troop to be named besides Chao's army. Such an honor and uniqueness.

After listening to the report of the Dengzhou garrison, Chao Tian turned his attention to Zheng Chenggong, the captain of the Dengzhou Navy standing beside Xu Da.
