Chapter 221: Don't seek to be heard in the court

Wang Xiu's army of 4,000 has officially besieged the city for two days.

It's a pity that Wang Xiu only tried to attack two waves, and the effect was almost equal to nothing, and he didn't wait for the expected death squad to break through the city gate and let the army enter the city.

At this point, Liu Qishan, who was defending the city, was a little puzzled, Wang Xiu actually stopped attacking and stopped for two days?

Send someone to ask Zhao Cheng: Why didn't he attack.

Zhao Cheng personally replied to Liu Qishan: If you ask me, I will ask who to go, just remember the mission at the post, and the rest will be changed with the same. If you have a righteous mentality, you will surely win the war.

Khan, Zhao Cheng seems to be talking nonsense and exaggerating the facts, but now there is no way to believe him.

At the same time, it is also very strange that after accepting Zhao Cheng's statement, every time I see the five-year-old female general Liang Hongyu in the city, she wears a tiger head hat and holds a wooden knife, and puts her Trojan horse next to her, saying that she is here to command the battle.

So everyone laughed, and they tacitly had faith and love.

Now Zhao Cheng is no longer in the city, but Liang Hongyu is on behalf of Zhao Cheng to give everyone confidence in the city.

This is useful. is not only the role of Liang Hongyu, but also Zhao Cheng's speech and publicity behind the scenes.

Because Zhao Cheng understands very well that the ancient people's thinking was closed, and the circle of life was too small, in fact, many people were "born and died in the fight" within a hundred miles, so the concept of circle and homeland is particularly important to them.

As long as it is based on their needs, and then focus on publicizing and announcing Wang Xiu's past methods and actions, plus Liang Hongyu represents confidence in the city.

In this way, it can lead to the resistance of the people in the city.

This is the reason why Zhao Cheng can mobilize the masses in a short time, first of all, we must know their thoughts and psychological needs.

After several sports-like speeches and brainwashing, and his past affinity and performance brought Zhao Cheng's current commanderial status.

How popular is Zhao Cheng?

For example, now a subordinate says, "An old woman asks to see."

Originally, he wanted to drive away and not come to make trouble, but this was said by Lao Pei.

However, Zhao Cheng still said, "Please come in." ”

Poof-

After the old woman came in, she threw two catties of dried fish on the table, briefly explained a few words, and left.

This is the old woman who dried the fish in the river last summer, and the dried fish in the reserve was not much, and the grandson was noisy to eat every day, but the old woman said that Chizhou City was in urgent need of supplies now, so she sent it, and turned around and walked away without waiting for Zhao Cheng to respond.

Lao Pei and Zhao Cheng couldn't help but half-open their mouths, looking at the back of the old woman, and now they can still hear her grandson clamoring to eat dried fish, but the dried fish is placed on the table of the county office.

No one can understand it, but this is Zhao Cheng's popularity.

If you have the heart to go to the entrance of the Chengdong Market now, you can see those little girls with pigtails jumping rope or kicking shuttlecocks, because they trust Zhao Cheng to have a way to defend it, and the rebels can't get in.

In addition, the group of stray yellow dogs at the entrance of the official market in the west of the city is still wandering, which proves that there are still people trading in the market, and there is no chaos, otherwise there is no one and nothing, and the yellow dog will not go.

Regardless of that era, the poor were a very powerful group.

Basically, there are some extremely difficult people, a group of people only have one pair of pants, and whoever goes out wears it. But the little kid couldn't stay at home, and always wanted to run out to play, so after the elder brother put on his pants and went out to work, he occasionally saw a few bare-chested children having a snowball fight in the south of the city.

Now there are bare-chested children frolicking in the city under siege by the rebels, so Lao Pei, who is passing by, almost fell, and was finally arrested on charges of immorality and let their family come to collect it.

However, Zhao Cheng ordered the bare-chested little fart to be released, and bought out the cloth in the shops in the north of the city with the white strips of the government, announcing that all the bare-chested people would come to receive the five-foot cloth from each household.

As a result, there was a lot of traffic outside the county office, and a long queue was formed.

Some came to Mongolia, but Zhao Cheng ordered that they should be invisible, and they would be sent as long as they lined up.

The cloth is not heavy, and the cost is actually very low, but the fact that they are willing to come and get the cloth now shows that they have confidence in the future.

Well, Cai You now completely ignores the cotton boss's complaint against Zhao Cheng, and their reason is: forced to buy and sell.

Zhao Cheng's behavior is to spend a lot of government finances, and there will definitely be a mess after the war, but he can't take care of it.

Cai You is now only busy racking his brains to make up "On the Reasons for Refugees Entering the City".

This was addressed to the imperial court and the emperor, and theoretically prohibiting refugees from entering the city during special periods was generally an iron law and a red line, and the magistrate had no right to make such a decision. What's more, the dismissal of refugees was the decision of Zhang Shangying, the special envoy of the imperial court at that time.

As a traitor, Cai You is now taking precautions, which is not a joke. It's a pity that Pei Yancheng and Zhao Cheng, two bastards, decided on such an important issue with a pat on the head.

In fact, the so-called ban on entering the city prevents the killing of local tyrants and the distribution of materials.

It's a pity that Zhao Cheng has been able to control the masses, and he also took the initiative to take the lead in forcibly buying other people's cloth, if there is no premise for refugees to enter the city, Zhao Cheng will not say buy, even rob and eat the cloth shop owner's family, Cai You is too lazy to ask.

However, now Cai You was put on the fire, so he had to wipe Zhao Cheng's buttocks.

The main reason is that if Shangying is not dead, and Chizhou is finally defeated, when the time comes to liquidate in the temple, then all the moths that are not a matter in normal times will be guilty.

Khan, doing these is Cai You's forte, on the other hand, he can't do anything but this. This is what Cai Wenji said.

It's not in vain to write it, Cai Xiaoniang thinks that now the rebels are besieging the city, even if the traitorous father writes this, he can't send it out. Even the news of the Chizhou pill may not be known by the imperial court from another channel until a month later.

However, just because Cai Wenji thinks so, she seems weak.

It is said that what is lacking is to make up for something, Cai You is not a saint, so he definitely likes to pretend to be a saint at critical moments.

Of course, he knew that these things could not be sent out. But he still writes, writes every day, one by one, like a diary, recording Lord Cai's thoughts about the country and the people under the siege of the rebels, and also vaguely revealing the concept of "not seeking to be heard in the court" between the lines.

Khan, Cai You, as a calligrapher and painter, of course, knows how to use the characteristics of paper and ink, showing that these reports were written at different times. In this way, in the future, it can really make the old masters of the court who are proficient in calligraphy and ink confirm that this is under the siege of the rebels, and Cai You is worried about the change of mood of the country and the people every day......
