Meng Chang is temporarily a local honest envoy, and he is responsible for civil affairs supervision at all levels, and his affairs are extremely complicated. However, now Yu Zhilong only has two cities, Linqu and Yishui, and the army supervises its own pickets of Zhao Shi and Mingxiong, and the number of civilian officials and officials who govern the government is still very small, so Meng Chang's current affairs are not too much. Yu Zhilong instructed him to refer to the supervision and imperial history systems of the past dynasties, and temporarily establish a usable charter for the time being, so that it could be fully promulgated in the later stage.

At the same time, the existing officials in the two places were supervised, evaluated, and those who were capable were promoted, those who were mediocre were demoted, and those who were greedy were sentenced to prison.

Kong Ying temporarily served as the chief secretary of Yishui, and his status was only below Xie Lin. At present, when the army enters the city, there are many affairs concerning the people's livelihood, especially to find out the extent to which the local households have suffered from the military disaster, and it takes a lot of time to count the number of households that should be beneficialized and the amount of pensions. Therefore, after Kong Ying briefly talked to the two, he said goodbye, led a few errands, and went out of the city on a few horses.

He was accompanied by dozens of cavalry sergeants of the Jing'an Army, and Yu Zhilong was worried about the lack of tranquility outside the city, so he specially ordered Gou Fugui to select a few teams of cavalry to escort him to the countryside.

It was nearly dusk, someone reported to Yu Zhilong, more than 30 miles outside the city, found traces of Yangshuo and others, Qu Bo and Tan Ye led the troops to immediately rush over, some of the sect members scattered, most of them had no intention of resisting, and they were captured one by one. When asked where Yangshuo was, the congregations pointed to a pile of firewood burning in the field.

"Yangshuo self-immolated?" Yu Zhilong didn't believe his ears.

Qu Bo leaned over and replied: "It's too late for the subordinates to go down, according to the captives, Yangshuo was attacked by Shi Zebo and others, and was seriously injured on the spot, and was rescued by his subordinates, escorted out of the city, and finally died of his injuries when he reached thirty miles. ”

When his subordinates surrounded him, he saw hundreds of congregational people gathering in the venue and listened to his singing, which seemed to be praying to heaven and earth, and his voice was mournful. As for that Yangshuo, it has already been put on firewood, and the fire has just been lit. We didn't know at the time, but we tried to round up and arrest them, and when we were later inquired, we found out that it was Yangshuo's corpse. By then, the corpse would no longer be recognizable! Qu Bo was a little embarrassed.

Yu Zhilong looked at Tan Ye again, and Tan Ye said: "The little one has been carefully explored, although he doesn't know his face, but his figure is quite similar, so it shouldn't be fake." ”

Yu Zhilong paced back and forth indoors, for these sect leaders and the like, because their influence on the local demagogy was quite deep, if they returned, there would be a lot of trouble. Now that the corpse has been basically confirmed, Yu Zhilong is relieved.

Qu Bo saw that Yu Zhilong was silent, and said carefully: "The subordinates have now brought back this corpse, can the general take a look?" ”

Yu Zhilong shook his head, the person had been burned to a crippled body, and it was useless to look at it. Then he asked Tan Ye: "I don't know what song they sang when you waited?" ”

Tan Ye leaned over and said, "It's an elegy for my sect when it is generally buried in the deceased church." The villain doesn't know who did it, but it's just passed down by word of mouth from generation to generation. ”

"Oh, I want to hear about it."

Tan Ye coughed slightly, and sang in a low voice: "Surrender the yellow bird, stop at Sangchu." He is the sky, and he destroys my beloved. Pay the fire and burn my body. There is no joy in life, and there is no pain in death. For example, the morning dew is shortly gone. ”

Yu Zhilong was silent for a long time after listening to it, this song is very similar to the song and tune he heard in the forest last night, maybe it was done by the same person.

"There are many people in the world, and there are many sufferers!" Yu Zhilong sighed. Yangshuo's death was deliberately ignored by Yu Zhilong, but the hardship, confusion, helplessness and struggle of the people at the bottom of China for thousands of years made Yu Zhilong sigh.

Seeing Yu Zhilong's brows frowning slightly, everyone knew that he was sad. Although Tan Ye and him have only met a few times, he knows that Yu Zhilong has compassion for the people of the world, and persuaded: "This song is merciful to the world, and it was sung by the Yang Master at the beginning. Today, his body is buried, and his disciples should be sent to him with songs. ”

Yu Zhilong regretted: "It's a pity that I haven't seen it in person." Wouldn't it be great if we could work together to restore the rivers and mountains? ”

Tan Ye said: "Yang Shi was originally a cynical and bitter person, and he contributed a lot to the Changda Sect. It's a pity that he couldn't listen to the rules and insisted on going his own way, becoming keen on power and power, and loving gold and silver, which is also his own fault. The little one heard the words of the captives and the sect members, and after entering the city, he alone plundered five or six beautiful wives and daughters of several large families, and all kinds of fine and soft piled up in a whole room, and those close to him had goods and women to distribute them. When he was attacked and fled, Yang Shi was reluctant to accept these goods, and asked his cronies to carry a lot of them for him. On the way to escape, everyone was too burdensome, so they still abandoned it in the wild. How can such a mind open up a prosperous world for the people? ”

Qu Bo, Lao Jing and others laughed and scolded when they heard it.

Yangshuo can attract all kinds of people, and there must be considerable eloquence, Yu Zhilong is currently in urgent need of such people, so he previously had the intention of soliciting. Now it seems that Yangshuo's vision is not high, his knowledge is limited, he died in defeat, and he has a way to die, Yu Zhilong is only a little regretful.

After listening to the generals laughing and scolding, Yu Zhilong was relaxed and said: "Since ancient times, it has been easy to go from thrift to luxury. On the contrary, it is like sailing against the current, a little indulgence, that is, drifting thousands of miles, without a trace. Yangshuo is also too greedy! We should use it as a mirror and learn from it! His voice turned stern.

Qu Bo and others said yes.

Yu Zhilong saw that the generals were submissive, and his face didn't seem to care, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly. Since ancient times, it is easy to find fault with others, and it is difficult to save one's own shortcomings, not to mention that these subordinates do not have the consciousness that those who may be in high positions in the future should always reflect on themselves, that is, why don't they feel the same way?

Then he laughed at himself again: "The crow fell on the coal pile, and I saw that others were black." If there is a defect in the future, you should also remind you of it! ”

Qu Bo, Tan Ye and others bowed to him. Tan Ye saw that Yu Zhilong was quite introspective, and his heart sighed and was terrified, and secretly said that there are many people in my sect, but I can have this mind, no wonder this sect is always prosperous, but it is like a white horse passing through the gap!

He changed his mind again, Liu Futong and others started the incident with teaching, and now they have a lot of momentum, but unfortunately I faintly heard that there is also a gap between several big leaders, if not, how could this Yishui incident be so hasty, and other prefectures and counties did not echo at all. This is not a blessing for the religion.

There were nearly 10,000 Maitreya cultists inside and outside the city, and they were wantonly killed and dispersed by Shi Zebo and others, and there were no less than thousands of dead, and many others were scattered. On that day, Tan Ye sent his subordinates to recruit and appease the Jing'an army, and there were still six or seven thousand people, Yu Zhilong ordered Xie Lin and Qu Bo to screen the evildoers one by one, and all those who committed murder and adultery were sentenced to death. The remainder is not guilty.

Then select the elite to join the army, and get a thousand sergeants. The rest of the old and infirm will be given money and grain to make them return to their hometowns in groups, and those who do not want to be resettled on the spot, allocate acres of land, and support their own families.

Later, the Jing'an army rectified the administration of the county's officials, re-measured the acres of land and mountains and forests, counted the number of households inside and outside the city, liquidated the inferior gentry and the magnates, and Xie Lin and Kong Ying divided the fields into households in accordance with the regulations, supplemented by farm tools, cattle and horses, etc.

Many of these religions are locals, because they have no livelihood, they took refuge in Maitreya, to find a way to live, there are not many people who are really devout and believe, I heard that the Jing'an army will not blame the past in the future, will not sin their own trouble, and will also divide the fields and livestock, most of them will return to their hometowns after a thousand thanks.

Yu Zhilong waved his hand and told them to go down and rest first. As his subordinates, it would be difficult for some strongmen to ask Qu Bo and others to find fault with Yu Zhilong's irregularities.

Seeing their stunned and cautious faces, Yu Zhilong laughed at himself in his heart. I am still quite vigilant now, if the power is guarded, and the life and death of others are determined by themselves, after a long time, I don't know if I can still maintain this state of mind?

Look at the sky is not early, Xie Lin has already sent someone to report just now, the city has been decided, Kong Ying and others took people out to inspect to appease the local people, it is estimated that they will not return to the city tonight.

The sky had begun to darken, and candles were lit in the county office. Yu Zhilong summoned Xie Lin, Meng Chang, Jin Yan, Qu Bo, Mu Chun, Qian Zheng, Yu Shichang and others to dine in the county back hall. The family of Yin's family in the original county had been slaughtered by Shi Zebo and Yangshuo a long time ago, and the miscellaneous servants were scattered, and the original county inspectors had to pick some men in the city who were quick and duty-free, and temporarily served as servants. As for the lack of cooks in the county government, the inspection had to be ordered to be summoned from the best wine pavilion in the county, and a few masters with cooking skills came to wait with all kinds of ingredients. Soon, a variety of dishes were served.

The dishes are sumptuous, but there is no alcohol.

At the big table, Yu Zhilong sat in the first seat, everyone was divided into civil and military, close and sparse, and sat down in turn, although there were more than 20 hot dishes of all kinds of cold and water, the inspector still stood nervously at the door of the hall and waited, carefully looking at Yu Zhilong's face, for fear that he would be slightly dissatisfied with the food.

Yu Zhilong and the others were mostly rude military men at this time, how could they have the opportunity to enjoy exquisite dishes before, but when they arrived in Linqu, after temporarily settling down, they had the opportunity to feast several times. However, at that time, the training and combat were extremely intense, and Yu Zhilong was strict in governing the army, and the generals did not dare to violate military discipline in the battalion.

At that time, he didn't dare to drink too much wine, and Yu Zhilong had already ordered the pickets to strictly check it, and anyone who violated it would be confined for at least one day.

Tan Ye sat in the lower seat at this time, the first time he was on this occasion, he always felt that there seemed to be a fire under his buttocks, and he barely moved with everyone, and after a meal, he didn't feel full or hungry. Yu Zhilong saw that he was restrained, and in the middle, he ordered the waiting servants to add a few bowls of rice for him.

Bai Shixuan and the others cried and cried goodbyes earlier, and returned to their own houses in the city, hoping to collect some old servants and revitalize the family business.

Yan Shun, a thousand households of the Han army who had been captured and persuaded to surrender on the mountain road, mutined on the same day and died at the hands of Shi Zebo and others, and many of his relatives in his family also died. The Yan family has an old relationship with Bai Shixuan and others, and they have always been disgusted by Zhuge and others, but this time they were cut off by him.

Yu Zhilong remembered some of his merits, and arranged for people to look for his family during the day, but only got his wife, a concubine and three young sons, so he gave him money and other pensions, and released him home.

As soon as the remnants of the table were removed, the inspector hurriedly ordered more than a dozen maidservants who had been waiting outside the hall to come in and serve tea.

Think about the wonder of chance, and the inspection sighs to make people. He was originally a small official who patrolled and arrested stolen goods, but now he has done an errand to serve people.

Yu Zhilong drank tea slowly and chatted with everyone. Suddenly, outsiders urgently reported: Kong Ying returned at night, saying that there was an emergency military situation.

Everyone was shocked, and Yu Zhilong called Kong Ying in. Kong Ying was out on a tour for a day, although he was tired, but his spirit was still good, he strode in, met Yu Zhilong, and said: "In accordance with the order of Xie County Yin, his subordinates are outside to inspect the people in various places to suffer from the military disaster, to the west of the city more than 30 miles, suddenly heard that the local natives came to report, there is a large force of Yuan Court officials and troops are coming to Yishui City, the Zhuge and others who are out of the city have rushed to the west of the city, and converge with it, presumably the Yuan army knows that our army is moving today. The subordinates were afraid that the adults would not know the changes in the enemy situation, so they immediately returned to the city to report. ”

Yu Zhilongqi said: "Where does the enemy come from? ”

Kong Ying said: "The subordinates really don't know, ask the natives who report to the natives, only say no less than thousands!" At that time, the subordinates immediately sent the escort sergeants to investigate, and they came back first to report. It is estimated that it will not be long before there will be a return of faith. ”

"Could it be that the Yuan soldiers of the surrounding prefectures and counties know that we have captured Yishui, so they came to attack?" Mu Chundao.

"Since General Zhao captured Yishui City, it has been six or seven days, counting the days, and the surrounding Yuan army may also arrive. I don't know who the military horse is, and what are the numbers? Yu Zhilong groaned.

Meng Chang said: "In the past two days, Yishui City has changed hands drastically, presumably the Yuan court still doesn't know, if the Yuan army still comes according to the past military situation, our army seems to have an opportunity." ”

Jin Yan continued: "The closest prefecture and county to Ju County are only Rizhao in the east and Linyi in the south. The two of them are no less than 200 miles to Ju County, and if they get the news separately and then gather the military horses, I am afraid that it will not be less than five or six days. This Rizhao belongs to the jurisdiction of Juzhou, if there are soldiers and horses to come, it is not strange, think that Linyi belongs to Yizhou, need to get a letter from Yidu Road to move troops, and Linyi to Juxian Mountain is more dangerous, and the distance is longer than Rizhao, subordinates think that it seems that the soldiers will not be Linyi soldiers. ”

These two people have nothing to do, so they can collect and read geographical magazines in various places, although at this time the geographical records of various places are sketchy, but it is already rare.

During the reign of Yuan Shizu, he began to officially revise the National Geographical Chronicle. In the 23rd year of the Yuan Dynasty, Zamaruddin, Chen Yan, Yu Yinglong and others were ordered to compile the National Geographical Chronicle, which was completed in the 28th year of the Yuan Dynasty, with a total of 755 volumes, called "The Great Unification Chronicles".

When Yuan Chengzong, because of the "Yunnan Tuzhi", "Gansu Tuzhi", "Liaoyang Tuzhi", it was added and revised again, and it was completed in the seventh year of Dade, called "Dayuan Dayi Tongzhi". The book is 1,300 volumes, and it was printed in Hangzhou in the sixth year of Zheng.

Because of Kong Ying, Meng Chang and Jin Yan have borrowed books from the official offices of Qufu and Quanlin Town, and they look at the places of other provinces a little simply, and they are naturally the most interested in the belly and the land of Shandong.

Yu Zhilong is a person of later generations, these details are naturally unknown, in fact, there are some volumes in the Yishui official office, but everyone is busy with everything today, and they don't have time to read them at all. He was busy with military affairs in Linqu at the beginning, and he only thought about one place to survive, and he still knew some about the geography near Yidu City, but he didn't know anything else.

At this time, the Great Yuan was unified, and although the topography of the river was almost similar to that of later generations, the prefectures and counties and roads were often very different, and they could only be referred to.
