Suzhou Mansion is the territory of Chuzhou Mansion, and the destination of the "Eastern Crusade" is three prefectures, and now there is only one Songjiang Mansion missing.

Deng Jian's men and horses and the sailors combined, not 100,000, but also 80,000, one Songjiang Mansion is naturally not a problem.

Huo Bao here, Hou Xiaoming and others also returned to Fucheng one after another.

Coincidentally, the magistrate of Changshu County, who Qiu Wei was in charge of, opened the city gate, and the two counties of Wujiang County and Kunshan County, which were attacked by Hou Xiaoming and Shi San, ordered them to defend the city.

When the three county towns were occupied by the Chuzhou army, the officials of Wujiang County and Kunshan County were escorted to Suzhou, and the officials of Changshu County were subordinate ministers, and they also went to Fucheng to ask for Huo Bao, the young master.

The positions are different, Huo Bao can't say who is good and who is bad in these three officials, and he doesn't have the patience and energy to discern, the left and right are his own choices, and he seeks benevolence.

For losers, sometimes it's harder to live than to die.

Killing is not the best policy, but killing is also the best warning.

The loss of the siege of Wujiang County was not small, and Hou Xiaoming's subordinates suffered nearly 1,000 casualties.

In such a situation, even if the Wujiang County Commander acted quite uprightly and had no obvious bad deeds, Huo Bao would not think about taking care of this person.

The Wujiang County Commander and Wujiang County Lieutenant of the main battle were all raiders, and none of them were killed.

Wujiang County, who was surrendered by the lord, was dismissed before, and Huo Bao directly reinstated his official to assist the Chuzhou Army in stabilizing Wujiang County.

The officials of the main battle in Kunshan were all detained, and their families were punished and confiscated into hard labor camps.

For the officials who were demoted from Changshu County, the Chuzhou army did not test their loyalty, and was directly transferred out of Changzhou and sent their families to Jinling to stand by.

The gentry of Suzhou Fucheng are all paying attention to the movements of the Chuzhou army.

Chuzhou white shirts are different from Qichun white shirts, and wherever Chuzhou white shirts go, many gentry are mostly appeased; Qi Chun's white shirt directly divided the land of the gentry, and the rich and poor were given to those mud legs.

When the officials of the three counties entered the city, how many people watched.

Needless to say, Changshu County didn't even resist because of the eggless cowards, and opened the city gate directly.

The other two counties were defeated after the main battle, and they seemed to be detaining people, but the results were different.

The families of Kunshan County officials have been disposed of.

Forced labor camp!

The families of officials in Wujiang County were the first to be detained and returned to Fucheng, and then there was no movement.

In the land of a mansion, the officials and gentry are inextricably linked.

It's not that everyone is worried about interceding with Wujiang County, but they want to see how the Chuzhou Army deals with the officials of the three counties, and wonder if they can find a way to intercede for the officials of the prefecture.

Everyone has an incense relationship, if you can intercede, you should intercede early; If you can't intercede, find a way to tear the relationship apart and don't be dragged down.

It's all in Fucheng, and to say that it has nothing to do with it is also self-deception.

On the first day of the first month of March, the Suzhou government posted a notice, and at three o'clock in the afternoon of the third day of the first month, Wujiang Zhixian County, Wujiang County Cheng and two adult males were beheaded to show the public to pay tribute to the hundreds of heroic souls in the battle of Wujiang.

Everyone was shocked.

"Where is this true? Just because you don't descend, you have to behead your family? ”

"It's too much, it's too much!"

"Wujiang County has fought, Fucheng has also fought, Wujiang Zhixian has been beheaded, so Lord Fuzun?"

"Isn't King Deng Yan gone? How can you stay behind and still kill? ”

The gentry of the city were so shocked by the news that they could not find a way to find it.

Who made the Maitreya religion not spread widely in Suzhou Prefecture, and everyone was really unfamiliar with the Chuzhou army.

The two sect leaders in the city, Zhang Jiao Shou has been "sent" out of the city with his family; Sect leader Li left the capital city and went to the counties to distinguish between true and false believers.

The Wujiang County Commander is a liuguan, but the Wujiang County Lieutenant is a local gentry.

Although the Wujiang County Wei family was detained, there were still relatives there, and they were not allowed to move around the city.

It's just that the city is also in chaos, all the officials who can count are detained, and the gentry and elders are as quiet as chickens, not daring to move.

The Wujiang County Lieutenant's family was spinning around like a headless fly, and there was really no way, so they gave up thousands of taels of silver to smash the door.

As a result, it smashed to Wu Yuan's side.

Wu Yuan is currently in charge of the security of Suzhou Fucheng, leading people to rectify places such as green buildings, casinos, and wine shops.

Where will Wu Yuan collect cash?

It's just that he was afraid of delaying Huo Bao's layout, so he didn't say anything to death, but directly told Huo Bao to see what Huo Bao meant.

Since Huo Bao decided to kill, it was not a bluff.

will not wait until Deng Jian comes back to kill people for the sake of so-called fame, and let Deng Jian carry the black pot.

"It's really bold, it's already generous without Zhulian's relatives, and you dare to jump up and down to find a relationship?"

Huo Bao was quite surprised, but he didn't mean to let go of the county lieutenant of Wujiang.

The county lieutenant of Wujiang should have known this consequence when he led the county soldiers to desperately resist the Chuzhou army.

Hundreds of Chuzhou troops can't die in vain.

Only punishing the "first evil" and not angering the people of Wujiang is already Huo Bao's benevolence.

The county soldiers captured in Wujiang had already been sent to the Changzhou Iron Mine.

The clansmen of Wujiang County Lieutenant got the reply, but they were afraid to get up, and they didn't dare to jump up and down again, so they immediately hid back to Wujiang honestly.

Before they came up, there was also a sense of temptation.

There is no shortage of people in the world, even if they are not dragged down by the county lieutenant, if they can't keep the pillars, they will have to be "robbed while the fire is burning".

Now that he has a letter, he can't keep the county lieutenant, but he won't be angry, and the rest is to go back to his hometown to protect himself.

On the third day of the first month of March, on the school field in front of Suzhou Mansion, the Wujiang County Ling family, the Wujiang County Wei family, and the adult males were all beheaded.

As for the two courtiers who claimed to be loyal to the court, they said something on their deathbed, but they didn't.

No matter what they are talking about being loyal to the people of the court, or cursing the Chuzhou army or something, it is all a joke.

Huo Bao didn't give them a chance either, and each of them stuffed a large walnut in their mouths.

More than a dozen heads fell to the ground and rolled on the ground, and the onlookers felt terrified.

A county town resists or the same, but what about the city of Fu?

Gao Dushuai and the prefect and others also fought the main battle, what will be the ending?

How will this eldest prince behave?

If you kill, will you implicate others?

If you don't kill it, what will you do?

After all, Suzhou is the capital of Suzhou people, and the local gentry always have to speak.

The world has been in turmoil, and the imperial court ...... No more.

Everyone is a scholar and knows about the change of dynasty, and now this is a crisis and an opportunity.

"Take the money to ransom!"

Huo Bao didn't sell anything to these people, and directly asked people to spread the word.

It was not Gao Dushuai, the prefect and others who were detained due to the defeat of the war who ransomed, but ...... The family members of these people, what is the wife and young son of the Suzhou prefect, the wife and children of the Suzhou Tongzhi, the wife of the Suzhou Dutong, and the brother of Gao Dushuai......

Yes?

A litter?

The families of the officials who fled before in this city were not left behind.

Huo Bao would not say that these people were going to run away and were all arrested by the Chuzhou army, but only said that these people wanted to "be suspected of collaborating with the enemy", so they were temporarily detained and allowed to be redeemed by their families.

These people wanted to run to Hangzhou Mansion and Songjiang Mansion before, but the Chuzhou army and the officers and soldiers were separated from each other and us, and it was not unjust to say that they "collaborated with the enemy."

"Who didn't run away with the family, not to mention the wealth of the family, and they had to scrape it a second time!"

"Before, Wujiang's Sun family had no way to ask for help, and I thought that this little captain was not greedy, but I thought that I couldn't look down on the Sun family's three melons and two dates!"

"In the end, I am relieved, and my family allows redemption, and the high capital and the prefect ...... them"

"These officials have taken away all the floating wealth before, and the rest is the shop house, I can't say that I can pick up a leak, hehe!"

“……”

didn't wait for the gentry and businessmen to gloat and see the excitement, and then they also saw the Chuzhou army come to the door.

Everyone has a share.

Long before the Chuzhou army besieged the city, in addition to the officials and dependents, there were also gentry and businessmen who stopped halfway.

The crime is also "suspected of collaborating with the enemy", and each family is allowed to redeem it.

The amount of redemption is different for each family, and it is roughly 30% to 50% of the total family property, which is enough to break the muscles and bones, and will not force the dog to jump over the wall in a hurry.

The first to pay are those officials and dependents.

Those who are officials are not short of money, and they all know that saving their lives is trying to be rich.

When their ransom was paid and their families were put back, the gentry and merchants could not sit still.

I don't want to give, I am reluctant to give, but dare not to give?

A few days ago, more than a dozen heads landed at the entrance of the vegetable market, and they had to force the Chuzhou army to "kill chickens and make an example of monkeys" to cut another batch?

Or do you want to run?

The gates of the city are always closed, and they are not allowed to enter or leave.

But if there is a little change, is it vegetarian to be a 10,000 Chuzhou army?

With the deadline for the payment of the fine, the gentry and merchants of the city paid the ransom one by one.

The Chuzhou army did not embarrass everyone anymore, and directly asked people to release them.

On the seventh day of the first month of March, with the good news of Songjiang Mansion, the gate of Suzhou Mansion was also opened.

Zhu Qiang got the sweetness of the previous interception, and this time he was also moved, and asked Huo Bao for instructions: "Master Bao, do you want to arrange for people to prepare in several official roads, in case someone wants to leave again?" Suzhou Mansion is really rich! ”

Huo Bao shook his head and said, "No need, they are reluctant to leave!" ”

Things are expensive to leave their hometowns, and people are cheap to leave their hometowns.

Previously, when the Chuzhou army was besieging the city, they made a decision to leave their hometowns and lost half of their industry.

Now that the Chuzhou army has stabilized the place and let them run, they are reluctant to take risks again.
