Chapter 190: Self-reliance
Of course, Ho Zhigao chose to live.
Liu Chenglin sent hundreds of government soldiers to hold He Zhigao hostage to open the city gate, while he and Liu Changfeng and other fierce generals were mixed in with these government soldiers to prepare to seize the city.
In fact, the city was completely defenseless. Lu Jin was still dreaming of tricking Liu Chenglin into the city to kill him in the name of a celebration banquet, and the gate of Jingzhou was easily opened in front of Liu Chenglin.
After occupying the city gates, 1,000 armor soldiers and 5,000 government soldiers poured in.
Liu Chenglin guarded the city gate with government soldiers, and he led elite armor soldiers to the Assassin's Mansion, until this time, Lu Jin knew that something was wrong, and in a hurry, he only gathered hundreds of armor soldiers outside the Assassin's Mansion to prepare to confront Liu Chenglin.
But Liu Chenglin's prestige in Henghai is known to everyone, and no one knows it, and those armored soldiers who gathered in a hurry have already weakened their legs after seeing Liu Chenglin himself, and they have already defected before Liu Chenglin shouts.
Liu Chenglin almost didn't have a bloody sword, and he occupied Jingzhou City.
Assassinated Shi Lukin, don't drive Feng Song and the two cronies were killed by Liu Chenglin.
Gao was above the lobby of the Assassin's Mansion, Liu Chenglin looked at the officers on both sides of the division and some of the low-level officials of the Assassin's Mansion who were trembling, and he was really full of emotion.
He once thought that one day he would be able to sit in the position of a state assassin by virtue of his military exploits, but he never thought that it would come in such a way at this point in time.
He got what he wanted, but it wasn't what he wanted. From then on, his reputation as a betrayal of the Lord was firmly on his back and could never be washed away.
He Zhigao stood on top of the lobby, his legs trembling like chaff, Lu Jin, Feng Song and others were dragged out of the lobby in front of him, and their heads were cut off on the bluestone slab outside the lobby, and their heads were being carried by Liu Chenglin's personal soldiers to parade through the streets of the city at the moment, and after the parade in Jingzhou, they would also go to the county to recruit the local officials there.
After Liu Chenglin sighed, he fell on He Zhigao: "He Changshi, I said earlier, if you help me deceive the city gate, I will spare your whole family from dying, although this city gate is not deceived by you, but I still talk about it, take your family and leave, leave Jingzhou for me."
"Thank you Captain Liu, no, no, no, thank you Willow Thorn!" When He Zhigao heard this, he finally relaxed, but this relaxation, but he couldn't stand steadily, and he fell to the ground with a bang.
Liu Chenglin glanced at him in disgust, such a soft egg, he really didn't know how to sit on the position of governor of history.
"You go to Cangzhou and tell the Jiedu envoy that I am Liu Chenglin and above board, and I have never been sorry for him, over the years, I have fought for him and quelled the rebellion, but he wants to kill me just because of some things that catch the wind and shadows, which is really chilling." Liu Chenglin said coldly: "Tell him, it's him who is sorry for me, it's not me who betrayed him, from then on, we parted ways, he took his sunny road, I crossed my single-plank bridge, if he wants to come to conquer me, someone Liu will also take it."
"Yes, yes!" He Zhigao nodded his head in general pecking rice.
"Get out!" Liu Chenglin waved his hand: "You can go, and you can also take away the food you eat on the road, but the other things are incapacitated. That is the blood and sweat of the people of Jingzhou, you live a drunken life and dream of death by relying on the people's fat and people's ointment, and now it is time to return it to the people of Jingzhou."
He Zhigao wanted to cry without tears, his life's hard work was lost in an instant, and the countless wealth he had accumulated was cheaper for Liu Chenglin in the blink of an eye, and he left Jingzhou with nothing.
But compared to Lu Jin and Feng Song, he was lucky, and he saved his life, and at this time, he dared to say more, for fear of angering Liu Chenglin, and slaughtered him with a knife.
"There is one more thing you tell the envoy of Jiedu, Sun Zhi's family, one by one sent to me, one less than one, I will kill ten of Lu Jin and Feng Song's family members, if Sun Zhi's family is gone, Lu Jin and Feng Song's family members will all be buried together."
He Zhigao staggered away from the Assassin's Mansion.
"Brother Liu, no, Liu Thorn Shi, thank you." Sun Zhi bowed his hand and thanked Liu Chenglin.
"You and my brother, why bother to say thank you, if you hadn't come to report to me this time, maybe I would have died in this Jingzhou, how can I have the scenery in front of me?" Liu Chenglin said with a smile: "Brother Sun, is you interested in the position of Governor Jing?"
"I want to do what I want, I want to recommend myself!" Sun Zhi laughed.
"Okay, Brother Sun, I am not very proficient in civil affairs, but you are quite accomplished in this way, and how to govern this Jingzhou in the future depends on you." Liu Chenglin Road.
"Yes." Sun Zhidao: "At the moment, it is nothing more than to calm the people, give relief, and the new position of the willow thorn history, naturally it is necessary to show the difference from the previous thorn history, with Lu Jin, a corrupt official in front of the foundation, the willow thorn history only needs to do better than him, and naturally he can win the hearts of the people." If the people's will is certain, then they will naturally unite as one."
"This is a very good thing to me." Liu Chenglin nodded and said: "Over the years, those so-called mobs and bandits who have been defeated and killed in Henghai have mostly been some good people who have been forced to live, just like this Anling Change. But in the past, I was just a general, I couldn't be the master, I couldn't speak, I could only act according to military orders, now that I am in power, I naturally have to change all this, I can't control other places, but Jingzhou, but from now on, I have to start changing."
"Understand, the first thing to do next is to give relief to the victims, reassure the people, and let them go home. Jingzhou is actually not to the point of lack of food, but it has been swallowed by those black-hearted people." Sun Zhidao: "The second step is to minimize the impact of this disaster. Liu Thorn History, whether it is Lu Jin, or He Zhigao and Feng Song, they all have huge family wealth, and after their family property is confiscated, Jingzhou will be safe for a while above the finances, otherwise it will be exempted from taxes for the people of Jingzhou this year. I dare to assert that this one thing alone is enough for the people of Jingzhou to recognize you only from now on."
Liu Chenglin nodded in agreement.
"The second is to reorganize the army." Sun Zhi continued: "After the disaster, the government soldiers were reorganized to give them a bite to eat, but it also reduced the burden on their families. Like this time, the people who followed the assassin history into Jingzhou City will be rewarded a lot. Even those who were recruited later might as well be paid some of their salaries to collect their hearts."
"Yes."
"With my understanding of Zhu Shou, he must be attacked by the whole army." Sun Zhidao: "Henghai suffered a big loss in Chengde this time, and hundreds of miles of land in Texas became a no-man's land. Li Ze's trick made Zhu Shou unable to cross this hundreds of miles of uninhabited land to attack Yizhou, but Jingzhou was different. He can't help Chengde, but he will definitely not let you go, otherwise, his Henghai Festival envoy will become a joke."
"The soldiers will block, the water will flood, the things above the civil administration will belong to you, and the things that fight will belong to me." Liu Chenglin sneered: "Unless Zhu Shou comes to attack in person, other people come to me for trouble, and that is to find death."
"You were originally the number one warrior under Yokohai." Sun Zhi smiled: "In this way, I have nothing else to say. If there is nothing else to do, I will have to do things, and now those officials below are afraid of being at peace one by one, and they don't know how to deal with themselves, and they need me to comfort them, or they are not clean, but when the water is clear, there are no fish, and when people are observed, there are no fugitives, after all, people are still needed to do things, and without them, for a while, I really can't find so many grassroots officials to take care of things."
"I understand what you said, but these people used to fish and flesh the common people, it doesn't hurt you to use them, we don't want to pursue the past, but in the future, we will give me rules and regulations, and if you dare to do it like before, don't blame me for being ruthless."
"This is natural." Sun Zhi smiled and hugged his fists and retreated.
"Changfeng, Jingzhou will be yours after don't drive." Liu Chenglin looked at Liu Changfeng and said with a smile.
"Thank you, Childe." Liu Changfeng smiled.
Then Liu Chenglin rewarded the generals under his command one by one, promoted the officers, and discussed with everyone how to reward the armor soldiers, the government soldiers, how to train the government soldiers recruited next, and how to deploy defenses to prepare for the attack of Cangzhou Zhu Shou after the army was reorganized.
Even though they were hungry, everyone didn't care, or rather, they didn't notice it at all. Liu Chenglin killed two Qu Chang, so he naturally needed people to make up for it, so the vacated positions needed to be replenished, and in order to deal with Zhu Shou's next counterattack, Liu Chenglin also needed to expand the team of armor soldiers and enhance his strength, which was also an excellent opportunity for those government soldiers.
Liu Chenglin's department originally had a thousand armor soldiers, and after killing Yang Yi and Cai De and his henchmen, there were dozens of fewer people, but he took over hundreds of armor soldiers in Jingzhou, Liu Chenglin decided to expand the armor soldiers under his command to 3,000 people, and deal with this difficulty in front of him first.
Let the kitchen bring food, everyone ate and discussed, slowly perfecting the details, until late at night, the extremely tired crowd dispersed.
There were only two people left in the room, Liu Chenglin and Liu Changfeng.
"Changfeng, you go home." Liu Chenglin said in a low voice.
"Huh?" Liu Changfeng didn't react, "Go home?"
"Yes, go back to Shiyi. Let's go meet my father first and ask Li Ze what happened to Qiao'er's proposal? Then I'll go see Li Ze."
Liu Changfeng looked at Liu Chenglin and said in embarrassment: "Childe, where did I see Li Ze, what did I say?"
"Tell him that now the world knows that he proposed to my sister-in-law, and because of this incident, I have become what I am now, so I don't care what he thinks, whether it is just a discordant scheme, or whether he is really interested in Qiao'er, he must marry Qiao'er. If he marries Qiao'er, the entire Henghai is Qiao'er's dowry, if he dares not to marry, let him prepare to meet my army!"
Liu Chenglin said murderously.
