In the palace, the prefect Li Mu heard that the commander of the horse was going to recruit troops in Yangzhou, and he was busy bringing together all the officials and generals, the forbidden army, and the horse and step people to gather and pay homage.

In the lobby, Song Ting said to Li Mu: "Bendu Wei is serving the king of Zhaoqin, temporarily taking over Yangzhou City, if there is any doubt, Master Li can enter Beijing or ask for instructions from Shangfeng."

Of course, Li Mu has no doubts, now that the Jin people from the north have come in, and the south is in chaos, the people in front of him, as the husband of the eldest princess of Jianyuan, the captain of the horse, and the relatives of the emperor, can receive the edict of King Qin from the Son of Heaven, what is there to doubt?

"Lord Lieutenant, everything is at your command." Li Mu said to Song Ting.

"That's fine," Song Ting sat down on the chair where the prefect was sitting on the trial, looked at the dozens of civil and military officials in the hall, and said slowly: "What is the situation in the city now?"

Han Shizhong came out and said: "Lord Duwei, now that the rebels are harassing day and night, and the city is not stable, I don't know what kind of plan Lord Duwei has to protect the peace of Yangzhou?"

This Han Shizhong ...... kicked the problem back like a ball, and Song Ting slandered.

"What's the instability? Tell me more about it. ”

"Captain Yudu, there are remnants of Fang La's remnants outside the city, trying in vain to attack my Yangzhou City......"

Song Ting was flipping through the roster on the table, and when he heard this, he interrupted: "Chen Tai is dead, and he can't make waves."

Han Shizhong paused and continued: "There is also Liu Guangsi's Red Turban Army, which has already reached the riverside, and it is said that the number has soared to 180,000; There is also the rebel general Wu Songjiedu envoy Chen Tao, who supports the army and respects himself, divides the three states, and also threatens to take my Yangzhou ......"

With a snap, Song Ting took the case: "This Chen Tao actually dares to engage in this set of supporting the army and separating the territory!" Captain Bendu is going to sacrifice his head to the flag! ”

Then he asked, "What is the chaos in the city?" If you go outside, you must first settle inside, and then stabilize the situation in the city! ”

Li Mu frowned and sighed, "Lord Duwei, the city is a mess now...... A few days ago, a group of displaced people accidentally mixed in the city, about one or two thousand people. Now these homeless people are traitors everywhere, either robbing property or stealing things everywhere, and even the young daughters of two squire's families are also raped and humiliated by the homeless people......"

When Song Ting heard this, he already knew that this was the bitter fruit of Li Mu's own brewing, some time ago there were a lot of refugees, and Li Mu not only did not accept them, but also drove them away, which caused the refugees to have the intention to retaliate.

immediately reprimanded Li Mu without hesitation, Li Mu was ashamed with a red face and didn't dare to say a word.

Song Tingxun said a few words, waved his hand and said: "That's it, don't mention the past, from tomorrow, post the list text: 1. Set up a porridge shed at the gate of the city to give porridge; 2. Allocate funds to build refugee camps and take in refugees in batches; Second, I don't believe that there is no errand arranged in the city for refugees, but there is none, and transporting dung out of the city is not also an errand, isn't it? ”

The military attachés couldn't help but sneer when they heard this, but after laughing, they thought about it carefully, there were 130,000 households in the city, and it was indeed an important matter to transport dung out of the city.

Li Mu said with a thick old face: "Lord Duwei, I'm afraid that the funds for the construction of camp tents for the displaced people are insufficient, which makes it difficult for the lower officials to do it!"

"Bastard!" Song Ting slapped the table and scolded loudly: "On weekdays, all kinds of greed, let you pay for the refugees to build camp tents, just say no money, no money!" Captain Pontus asks you, where did the money go? Where is the book? ”

Lu Hushu, the head of the government house, stood up and responded: "The villain is here."

"Let me ask you, how much is the tax silver in Yangzhou Prefecture?"

"Captain Yudu, only 6,000 taels ......"

"6,000 taels? What about the money! Song Ting was really angry and asked loudly.

Lu Hushu said: "I can't collect the tax money this year, there are only so many, and I haven't handed it over to the imperial court yet......

Hearing these words, Song Ting almost wanted to beat people, and scolded angrily: "Yangzhou Mansion has four counties and one army, and the people are less than one million, so why do you tell Lao Tzu that there are only 6,000 taels of tax silver!" Where did all the tax money go? One by one...... Usually all kinds of food and greed, but now Captain Pontus asked you to build a refugee camp, and he actually said that there was no money! ”

"Okay! There's no money, right? Collect donations! Song Ting announced, and then pointed at Li Mu: "Start with you!" How much are you going to donate? ”

Li Mu swallowed his saliva secretly, his old face trembled, and he took out a tael of silver from his arms......

"Why don't you donate a tael of silver?"

Song Ting couldn't bear it anymore and kicked him over.

"Master Lee—"

Many civil officials and wardens exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly went to help Li Mu up.

Yangzhou sentenced Zhao Wenkui, pointed at Song Tinglang and said: "Song Duwei! How dare you treat the prefect like this? Although you have the edict of King Qin, what does the prefect say is also the head of the state and county...... How dare you make such a rude move, Zhao will definitely inform the emperor of this matter! ”

Song Ting, who had already finished loading and reloading, snapped a shot at Zhao Wenkui's ear.

Frightened all the civil officials, and Zhao Wenkui stood in place, a smell of urine spread from the soles of his feet, and everyone went to see that the ground was wet.

Seeing this scene, Han Shizhong and other generals next to him were all surprised and delighted, these civil officials forced the generals on weekdays, and they were all kinds of black-hearted greed, and the generals had long been used to seeing them.

Kicking over the prefect with one kick and scaring the verdict with one shot, such an earth-shattering move of crying ghosts and gods is only capable of this horse captain!

"There is no money to build a refugee camp, and if Captain Pontus wants to raise money to recruit troops and sell horses, won't you have to shirk it even more! Isn't my Liang going to die at the hands of corrupt officials and corrupt officials? Li Mu, Zhao Wenkui, and you officials, big and small, find a way to make up 300,000 taels for Captain Bendu! ”

"Give you 3 days, if you can't make up 300,000 taels in 3 days! Captain Pontus will hang your heads on the wall! ”

Song Ting announced angrily, and fired another shot at the ground: "Captain Pontus does what he says!"

Li Mu, Zhao Wenkui and others were so frightened that they knelt on the ground, lowered their heads and did not dare to take a breath.

"Han Shizhong, you come to report on the defenders of Yangzhou City!" After talking about the money, Song Ting asked Han Shizhong about the soldiers.

Han Shizhong said: "There are 4,481 defenders, 41 artillery pieces, and 21 guards in the city, including 1,228 archers......"

"That's it!" Song Ting interrupted, "How many horse troops are there?" ”

"300 people."

Song Ting's forehead, the Ma army was only 300 people, plus his own Ma army of 200 people, it was only 500 people.

If the cavalry is not enough, it will not be able to compete with the Jin people, although it is still in Yangzhou, it is still far from meeting the Jin people.

"Well, starting tomorrow, Captain Pontus will personally recruit musketeers from your battalion, and you will be responsible for recruiting archers and infantry until you reach 10,000."

"Yes, Captain."

Seeing that the arrangement was almost complete, Song Ting looked at the civil and military officials and asked, "But what else is there?"

The crowd bowed their heads and did not speak.

Only Han Shizhong coughed, looked at Song Ting's musket with burning eyes and said, "Captain, I don't know your firearm...... Is there still a ......?"

Looking at his spitting appearance, Song Ting knew that this guy had taken a fancy to his musket, and immediately smiled and said, "Want a firearm?" It's very simple, kill the enemy on the battlefield! Three heads for one firearm. ”

That's not easy...... Han Shizhong said secretly in his heart.

"Alright, let's disperse if nothing else! Hurry up and get busy! And you! You! You! Get money for Lao Tzu! Get lost! Song Ting pointed at Li Mu, Zhao Wenkui and other civil officials, and they were so frightened that they trembled all over, and they scattered all at once.

Song Ting walked out of the palace under the support of all military generals, and more than a dozen generals and generals of all sizes looked at him, full of reverence.

kicked over the prefect with one kick, and scared the urine with one shot...... This kind of thing is enough for them to go back and publicize it to their subordinates.

For the next three days, Song Ting did not have time to go home, and he had to personally take charge of the arrangements for the refugees and the recruitment of musketeers.

In addition, Mr. Zhu was also invited from Yongtai to Yangzhou City to take charge of grain collection.

The affairs of the Yongtai County Government were handed over to another down-and-out person, Mr. Xu, who was also the one who compiled the "Civilized Township Covenant" together.

On the evening of the third day, Song Ting was still busy with the musketeers in the tent, but three women came from outside and waited outside the tent for him to summon him.

"No, didn't you say that women are not allowed to enter the barracks?"

Song Ting casually said to the soldiers who came to report.

The soldiers went out to convey the words of the captain.

After a while, the soldiers came in again: "Captain, they said they must see you."

"Bastard! Bring it in! ”

He repeatedly ordered that those who dared to hide women in the military camp would be beheaded.

Women are also not allowed to enter the barracks.

"No more Captain Laodu! We come in ourselves! "The sound of the sword came from outside.

Immediately afterwards, three women with resentful faces came in: Zhao Yuanzhen, Bai Qiuyan, and Youjian.

"Zhen'er......" Song Ting saw this familiar and vague beautiful face, and immediately laughed and got up to greet him.

"Why are you here?"

Zhao Yuanzhen, who had a red ribbon tied around her waist, came with a food box, and when she saw Song Ting, she took out the food from the food box to eat, "Xianggong, I guess you haven't eaten the food at home for a long time, so bring you some food, Zhen'er made it herself." ”

"Wow......" Song Ting couldn't wait to take the dishes and chopsticks, and devoured a good meal, he hadn't eaten the meal made by the princess's wife for a long time, and he was really hungry, so he was very anxious to eat.

"Ahem......" choked.

The two women were busy, Zhao Yuanzhen patted him on the back, and Bai Qiuyan poured tea for her.

"Slow down, slow down, Xianggong." The princess's wife is gentle and considerate.

"There's no hurry." Bai Qiuyan also whispered.

After eating, I got busy again.

Zhao Yuanzhen asked what he could do to help, so Zhao Yuanzhen and Bai Qiuyan kept working on the desk to help him write notes, and they were busy until the third watch.

After the third watch, I had time to go back to the house and spend a moment with the princess's wife.

Early the next morning, I went to the barracks again and got busy.
