Lu Wenluo bowed, and said to Xu Xingwei: "Xu Junsi is very attentive to all affairs, and he is very good to our brothers who are fighting, and we are all respectful." ”

At this time, Lin Shaozong also rushed over, everyone greeted each other, Lin Shaozong behaved the same as him beside Xu Zixian, he didn't like publicity, he was silent and introverted, but there was heroism in his eyes.

Two sea-going ships carrying hundreds of people into the river had to bypass Qizhou Island from the port and turn to the other side of the Min River to reach the wharf not far outside the city.

There are many boats on the river, there are many small and medium-sized boats on the shore to transport materials to Jianzhou, the slender man on the shore is still thinly dressed in winter, they shout slogans, pull the boat upstream, the water of the Minjiang River in winter is very shallow, the wind is not enough if the ship is heavy and difficult to walk, it has to be pulled by the slender man.

The river flows slowly, people see the fleet, see the merchant convoy on the shore, see the endless stream of pedestrians, see the mountains and the forest, see the people and donkeys and horses walking on the bank of the Minjiang River like silhouettes, along the official road to the distance, or climb to the mountains, go to the Xinghua army or Quanzhou, or go to the port wharf in the Minqing area, or go directly from the river to the city, and Fuzhou Fucheng, but also restore the original sense of atmosphere and grace, the city base has several feet high city, surrounded by official roads, villages, The sparse woodland and the acres of cultivated fields, there are also villages and towns that are inhabited, and there are endless crowds of people, the military flags are displayed above the city head, and there are many soldiers who are guarding the city with a long guard at the head of the city...... At least from the appearance, Fuzhou has probably returned to its original appearance.

"It's still far from it." Xu Xingwei is a native of Fuzhou, how can he not see the difference between the current and the past peaceful season?

The caravan was reduced by more than ninety percent, and only the ships mobilized by the Qin Shogunate on the Min River were extinct, and fishing boats and merchant ships were almost extinct. Because of the depth of the reeds on the side of the Min River, many robbers used the reeds to hide, and used small boats to pass through the two banks, and the bandits in Futian, Xinghua and other counties on the river were intertwined with each other and hid each other's traces.

To say that the thieves, in fact, under the promotion of the criminal division, the states and counties on both sides are suppressing thieves, but there are many thieves, and because of the war, many of the gentry and elders in the clan are rich, as early as a month ago, when the wind was not right, these people left Fuzhou with their families, and now the place is empty, the clan is empty, and there are a lot of Xiang troops in the state and county, but under the promotion of King Zhao, almost all the garrison Xiang troops in the states and counties have gathered, and the first battle in Jianzhou, 70,000 Xiang troops are almost lost, and now there are nearly 50,000 people who are guarded in Jianzhou...... They had surrendered in front of the battle, not captured, and if they hadn't been, they would have been released a long time ago.

The Xiang army was requisitioned and the local gentry left, which was the reason for the hollowing out of the state and county. The state and county are empty, what can you do with just those few former errands? Many towns and villages, which are fine during the day, have become a paradise for thieves at night.

"Let's settle on Fuzhou first." Xu Xingwei said to Lin Shaozong: "Fuzhou and the surrounding areas must be, and then turn around and suppress the rest of the counties, the overall situation can be determined." ”

"The last general will listen to Lord Xu's arrangement." Lin Shaozong said very calmly: "When I was leaving, the king said that four hundred to five hundred war horses were specially allocated to be ridden by the soldiers of the accompanying government army to speed up the efficiency of suppressing thieves. ”

Xu Xingwei nodded and said, "This is the next step, and I don't need it yet." ”

Before more than 200 soldiers and officials of the government marched to the gate of Fuzhou Prefecture, it immediately attracted a lot of attention.

Previously, there were also many government soldiers and soldiers who entered the city, and there were also officials who entered the city, but mainly entered the old mansion of Nan'an Hou in the city to guard and protect the safety of Xu Zixian himself.

After Xu Xiashang passed the edict, Xu Zixian did not live in the old mansion, but returned to the port of Qizhou, half a month passed, seeing that the year was about to pass, but everyone did not know what His Royal Highness King Qin was planning, and when they saw so many people in the shogunate rushing to the city gate, everyone was extremely concerned, and they did not know why these soldiers came.

"Each city gate is stationed with a team of people, so that the garrison of the city cooperates, and then strictly check the correspondents, etc., without the armor and the document of security is not allowed to enter, if there is a thief with a graphic picture, take it down immediately. Grain trucks, vegetable farmers, after daily inspection, uniformly released out of the city, foreign merchants, pedestrians, and those without documents are not allowed to trespass. ”

Under the city gate, Xu Xingwei gave orders one after another, and his resolute and resolute attitude surprised many government soldiers and soldiers.

"Order the soldiers who are guarding the old mansion to meet to capture the thief camp, the city guards the camp and the army, and guard the doors of each fang, and after nightfall, start to search all over the city, pull the net to search!"

As soon as Xu Xingwei entered the city, he was resolute and resolute, without the slightest hesitation.

Use a small number of government troops to supervise the box army to guard the city gate, and the city gate will be closed directly in the evening, so that the foreign thieves will not be given a chance to take advantage of it, and the thieves in the inner city will not be able to escape at all.

Then the government army garrisoning the old Nan'an mansion was transferred, and the new government army was mobilized to mobilize the city garrison camp and the box army of the thief capture camp, and set up many fixed garrison points in the city, squeezing out the space for many lawbreakers to operate.

These two hands have already seized the opportunity, and they did not know in advance that they would raise the criminal department or appease the envoy, which shows Xu Xingwei's courage and responsibility.

Since the commander ordered, the soldiers of the government army will not hesitate, of course, the two heads of the two respectively sent several officers, Fuzhou Mansion City has a total of five gates, and there is no urn city, the city wall is about eleven miles in radius, for the vigorous and sturdy soldiers, the speed of running in the city head is extremely fast, in less than half an hour after Xu Xingwei's order, all the city gate defenses have changed hands.

"I'm going to mention the Criminal Division now," Xu Xingwei said to Lin Shaozong: "Shaozong, you personally hold the king's handwritten letter, go to appease the envoy to see the ministers, and make it clear that we are taking over the defense for the sake of suppressing the thieves, and we have no other intentions." ”

Lin Shaozong nodded silently and said nothing.

Taking over the city like this, Lin Douyao certainly knew what was going on as long as he wasn't a stupid pig.

In fact, as early as many days ago, Zheng Liqi and Yang Shiwei asked His Royal Highness the King of Qin to send soldiers to quell the chaos, but at that time, Xu Zixian politely refused such a request, and now the bandits are getting more and more excessive, and the people in the city can no longer bear it, and the officials and gentry are also suffering from the bandits...... Didn't you see that Xu Xingwei and Wei Yi are all organizing manpower defense patrols? The situation in the city has reached such a point after a little relaxation, and it has confirmed the remarks that it will not work without the King of Qin, and it is also a very good public opinion to help His Royal Highness the King of Qin take over the defense of Fuzhou.

The King of Qin, as the prince of Kaifu, originally concurrently served as the governor of the capital of Fujian Road, and was responsible for the defense and security of Fuzhou and the entire Fujian Road.

"Lin Shuaichen will cooperate." Xu Xingwei didn't explain much, but fortunately, Lin Shaozong didn't have any intention of explaining, and the soldiers just had to obey the military order.

Seeing this young general riding away without the slightest hesitation, Xu Xingwei also showed a satisfied look on his face. In any case, His Royal Highness King Qin has many talents around him, this time the military attache began to gradually send out for training, it is estimated that it is also related to the large expansion of the army, the new army has been training for more than three months, and gradually has to send military attachés to take over the troops from the military training department, the generals must be familiar with the soldiers, and the soldiers must also be familiar with their superiors, everything is in an orderly preparation.

Seeing that the soldiers of the government army gradually mastered the Xiang army at the head of the city, and sent the government army and the Xiang army to guard at the city gate, Xu Xingwei nodded with satisfaction, and then turned over and got on the horse, he is a native of Fuzhou, and has been in and out of the city gate in front of him countless times, and riding into Fuzhou with his current identity makes Xu Xingwei have a strange feeling.

The horse's hooves trampled on the road surface composed of bluestone slabs, sliding out of sparks, and in the sound of horses' hooves, the soldiers of the Xiangjun near the city gate, and the people and pedestrians passing by all looked at this young official with awe, this was obviously the high-level of the Qin king's shogunate, although he was only wearing a round-necked blue robe, and he did not wear the official's hard head, but wore a black soft-footed head, tall figure, handsome face, fair complexion, like a well-educated official gentleman, but no one doubted that this person was in charge of Fuzhou City at this time... … In the sound of horses' hooves, people suddenly woke up to the fact that King Qin opened his mansion, and the entire Fujian Road had changed all the military and political patterns.

The same sun rises on the top officials, the same buildings, the same crowd, but people suddenly understand and wake up to the fact that everything is very different.

……

"Took over the city defenses?" Looking at the young officer who stood solemnly like a pine in front of him, although he was doing the military salute of the Qin King's shogunate, but there was no respectful expression on his face, Lin Douyao smiled slightly and said: "Since the King of Qin has opened the mansion, the military and political power of the Fujian Road belongs to the king, although this official is a pacification envoy, he should also act in awe-inspiring manner, take over the city defense, and of course do it according to the will of the King of Qin." What kind of public security in the city is spread below, it is also according to the will of His Royal Highness the King of Qin. ”

Lin Douyao smiled again: "Since His Highness has begun to spread, then I want to ask again, when will His Highness enter the city, prepare to live there, and where will he handle his daily affairs?" ”

"His Royal Highness's residence is intended to stay in the old Zhao Palace." Lin Shaozong said calmly: "The old mansion of King Zhao was ordered to be built by Emperor Wenzong, and it was built with state funds, King Zhao was abolished, of course the palace must be taken back by the imperial court, His Royal Highness King Qin is the only prince of Fuzhou, is it reasonable for him to live in it?" ”

Lin Douyao laughed dryly, noncommittal.

Of course, this is Xu Zi's revenge first, a complete and undisguised revenge.

King Zhao and the Nan'an Houfu family have been fighting for thirty years, and they have been fighting with each other, and there is no blood and family affection at all. If King Zhao wins, Xu Zi is afraid that he may not even be able to save his life.

Of course, with Lin Douyao's current thoughts, I am afraid that King Zhao's father and son may not be able to leave so easily.

It's just that King Zhao has received the edict, and now everyone in official affairs has only called him Zhao Guogong, Xu Ziwei is the son of Zhao Guogong, if there is no accident, Zhao Wangfu will vacate the mansion within ten days, and at the same time prepare a sea boat, release the ship to the sea, and go to Jiangling.

This old opponent has finally fallen to such a point, but Lin Douyao has no sense of schadenfreude in his heart. Speaking of which, King Zhao is finished, and after that, he has no authority, and he can't even keep his mansion, and His Royal Highness King Qin's revenge can be said to leave no room for revenge. And he, the pacification envoy all the way, not only did he not get the official position of the privy deputy envoy, but he also didn't use that cool umbrella, and the power of Fujian Road was also greatly reduced.

His Royal Highness King Qin's style of acting, Lin Douyao has learned it so far, if he doesn't send it, he will never leave his hand when he sends it, like a rainstorm and thunder.

"Shaozong, you go and inform Yang Dafu and Zheng Tixing and the others." Lin Douyao waved his hand and said: "There are all kinds of things in the city, if there is something that requires our cooperation, but please speak." ”

"No, thank you, Lord Shuaichen." Lin Douyao's cooperation in everything was also expected by Xu Zixian, and Lin Shaozong did not show a smug expression on his face, he thanked him first, and then said: "Take charge of the road and appease one side, such an important minister, His Highness does not have it by his side." As long as the marshal sincerely cooperates with His Royal Highness the King of Qin, the future southeast situation will still have the marshal's side. ”

Lin Douyao's eyes froze, and he said, "Is this your own words, Shaozong, or the words of His Royal Highness King Qin?" ”

"Your Highness, of course."

"I know." Lin Douyao pondered for a moment, and suddenly said, "Are you guys enough?" There are still more than 100 people who are able to listen to the officer, and they can be assigned to you to command and use. ”

"Then thank you."

Closing the city gate, taking all the suspicious criminals, there must be a lot of manpower, Lin Douyao sent his own personal guards out, first to express his position, and then to contribute, this time, it can be regarded as a complete surrender.
