Chapter 147: Entering the City
"No burning, killing and looting!"
"Don't trespass!"
"No extortion!"
In the sound of neat footsteps, the shouts of the generals were particularly obvious, this was the military discipline they had just established by the marching marshal, and all the soldiers who entered the city of Huangkou must abide by it unconditionally. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
It's okay if you don't comply, just wait to receive the marshal's 'kind greetings'.
"Cui Changshi."
"The lower officials listen to orders."
"The widow didn't give an order, but I just have a question I want Cui Changshi to answer."
"Your Majesty, please speak."
Yuwen Wenpi looked at Cui Da with a smile: "Cui Changshi, it is said that northerners don't understand the southern dialect very well?" ”
"Well, I wonder what the king has to worry about?"
"Well, will there be soldiers from the north, under the pretext of not understanding the three military disciplines just set by the widow, to kill in the city, and come to grab money, food, and little girls and something like that?"
Hearing this kind of ill-intentioned question, Cui Da naturally vigorously denied it: "Don't worry, no matter the north and the south, the military discipline of the officers and troops has always been strict. ”
"Really? What if anyone uses that as a reason..."
"The lower officials will be engaged in accordance with military law, pull him out and behead him in public, no matter who it is, he won't say anything about it!"
"That being the case, the widow is relieved."
Yu Wenwen nodded, and rode his horse towards Huangkou City, it was still early in the evening, and if he moved faster, he might be able to take a 'day trip to Huangkou'.
Looking at Yu Wenwen's back, Cui Da sighed, then waved his horsewhip, and followed him into the city.
Judging from the performance of the Lingnan march in the past few days, Cui Da didn't think that Huankou could withstand it for long, but Yuwenwen could let Huangkou surrender without a fight, which really confirmed this recent statement.
Yuwen Wen and Chen Guo merchants do business, it is an open secret, in fact, it is a taboo to fornicate with the enemy country, but for various reasons, everyone thinks that they don't see it, but this is a reason to make trouble, and when the time is right, it can be used to pinch Wang Yuwenliang, or Xiyang Wang Yuwenwen.
And just now, Yu Wenwen replied about this matter: he secretly bribed the Jiangzhou guards in the way of fornicating with Chen Guo merchants in order to prepare for the future soldiers coming to the city.
In other words, Yuwenwen was 'burdened with infamy' to trade with the enemy for the sake of the imperial court's plan.
High-sounding reasons, ghosts only believe!
Cui Da didn't believe it, there were a lot of local wealthy families in the north who did forbidden trading with the Turks and other barbarians, but it was purely a business, saying that he would open the door and dedicate the city, and he felt that the border generals of the Southern Dynasty were also so thoughtful.
If you have money, you don't make money in vain, but it's one thing to do business, and it's another thing to surrender, so Cui Da thought that General Chen Guobian didn't think about opening the door to the city someday in the future, and Yu Wenwen just wanted to go crazy with money, so he just took risks.
Today, the Zhou army came to the city, and the other party was forced by the situation to open the door and surrender the city, but this fact became the best evidence of Yu Wenwen's rhetoric.
The words of the king of Xiyang who fornicated with the enemy country seem to be useless...
Thinking of this, Cui Da was a little melancholy, not because the prime minister had one less reason to take advantage of Wang Yuwenliang, but because he was a little worried about the battle situation: Yuwenwen's progress was too fast, and it had exceeded his pre-war expectations.
Water wars, land battles, no matter how you say it, it will take nearly a month to take the mouth, right? It's only been a few days since the troops were dispatched to take the mouth!
I don't know what the battle situation is on Wei Chi Youqi's side...
Thinking of this, Cui Da looked at the large number of warships berthed by the river, and secretly made a decision in his heart: No matter what, I can't let you make an excuse to go down the river and assault Jiankang!
。。。。。。
The horses' hooves made a crisp sound on the bluestone pavement, but listening to the ears of the inhabitants of the city was like the sound of a drum, and the army of the one-legged bronze men entered the city, and they did not know what their fate would be.
I can't beat it, I can only pray for God's blessing and bless everyone to escape the clutches of the one-legged bronze man.
The Zhou soldiers in the team, under the leadership of the surrendered Chen soldiers, scattered them like fishing nets in the city, first controlling the city gates, official offices and other key places, and then guarding all kinds of warehouses to prevent anyone from setting fire to sabotage or taking advantage of the fire to rob.
Then fortify at the corners of the streets, it is strictly forbidden for idle people to walk around at will, those who do not listen to the ban can be arrested on the spot, and those who dare to resist will be killed, and finally the implementation of "armor protection".
Five households for one guarantee, ten guarantees for one A, joint insurance and sitting, that is, the joint insurance between each household, mutual guarantee not to do anything rebellious, one household rebels, four households raise the hair, if not, five households jointly and severally sit on the crime.
Each person selected from the local households to be the first chief, and then there was a team of officers and soldiers (Zhou Jun) as the supervisor, who was not only the assistant of the first chief, but also supervised whether the first chief had any behaviors that violated the yang and the yin.
This unheard-of system, the Zhou army into the city quickly took advantage of this to quickly monitor the residents of the city, and then began to screen the identity of a large scale, all those who have the identity of officials, officials, and soldiers, must be truthfully reported, if there is any concealment, the consequences will be borne by themselves.
Those who are not residents in the Baonei will be resettled by the Zhou army, and anyone who dares to hide and not report will also bear the consequences.
Such a strict management made the residents uneasy, but then came the 'Three Chapters of the Law': if any Zhou soldiers dared to burn, kill and loot, dare to extort, and dare to trespass on people's houses for no reason, after the report was verified, there would be no forgiveness for killing!
Half an hour later, I didn't see any houses burned, nor did I see Zhou soldiers robbing people's daughters or robbing people's property, let alone Zhou soldiers wantonly killing people, nor did they take revenge, and the people in the city gradually settled down.
The state government, Yu Wenwen, the commander of the Zhou army, and Shi Cuida, the commander of the supervising army, were meeting with the civil and military officials of Chen Guohuankou who had surrendered.
"You know the current affairs, you have avoided the bloody disaster of the mouth, the city has not been affected by the military disaster, the people and the various account books of the state treasury have been preserved, the widow is deeply grateful, and in the future, he will play the court and commend you for your dedication to the city."
Yuwen Wen talked eloquently, and at the foot of the steps stood Jiangzhou Sima Huang Si, Xunyang Taishou Lu Zhongrong and other surrendered Chen State officials, facing the young "one-legged bronze man" above, they didn't dare to breathe, just nodded incessantly.
In order to protect their families, they took the initiative to open the door and surrender, and the Zhou army did not kill after entering the city, which made everyone a little relieved, but what would happen next was really uncertain, so everything depended on the difference between the first one's thoughts.
"Please go back to the mansion, control the family, don't go out and walk around for no reason, if the widow has an arrangement, he will naturally send someone to the house to spread it, and everyone should not visit relatives and friends during this time."
"In order to prevent misunderstanding, the widow will send troops to garrison your mansions, you can rest assured, don't be afraid of being broken in and extorted, or burned, killed and looted..."
"If there is anything inconvenient to say in public, you can ask the soldiers stationed in the house to pass it on to the widow, either by mouth or letter."
Yu Wenwen said slowly, and the officials nodded like chickens pecking rice, seeing that this person was well arranged, a stone fell to the ground in his heart: although he was stricter on himself and his family, such a detailed arrangement was definitely not a perfunctory nonsense.
Everyone is rejoicing in their hearts, it seems that Yu Wenwen is true to his word, surrendering without killing, and the family house is preserved.
"The widow knows that some of you have families who are still healthy, but for various reasons, they have chosen to surrender to our army."
Speaking of this, Yu Wenwen tried his best to make his smile 'sincere': "Whoever wants to go home can say it, and the widow will not embarrass him, he must prepare a ship and let him go back." ”
Only a fool will say it!
The officials thought so, and shook their heads vigorously, for fear that Yu Wenwen would see that they were hesitating, and then send them to the boat to 'fall into the water'.
Some of them do have family members in Jiankang, and their surrender will indeed make the family members who are actually hostages unlucky, but now there is no other choice but to take one step at a time.
No one believed in his sincerity, which made Yu Wenwen feel very hurt, after all, there were some people in the demo who were his 'business partners' in private, so what he said before was really for the sake of the other party, not 'leading the snake out of the hole'.
However, Yu Wenwen quickly collected his mood and was ready to start the main event:
"Please let King Yongjia come over to the court!"
