For those four Manchu officials, Chen Wen can beat or scold, and even if he kills them, it is not a big deal, after all, they are infamous as traitors on their heads, and Chen Wen can be more unscrupulous in the face of them. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

But Kong Yanzhen is different, he is the descendant of the Southern Sect of the Confucian family, and he is the sixty-fifth grandson of Confucius, not to mention scolding, even if the words are a little heavier, it may cause the collective hostility of the Confucian scholar class.

Although he is not afraid at all as pointed out by Qianfu, and the cheekiness he cultivated in his early years of running business and losing his smile will not end up without a problem because of a few words, but he is now shouldering the heavy task of expelling Yidi and restoring the Han family, and what he is doing today is also to regain the aura of orthodoxy for Nanming. Just as the Confucian family could go south during the Southern Song Dynasty, the Southern Ming Dynasty also could, and it also needed the allegiance of the Confucian family and the Southern Sect. But if you put yourself in it for this, it is not necessary, and today it is already the limit to scold Han Yangol and Cheng Jinzheng by drinking. After all, in such an era, Chen Wen must not fall into the hands of a person who threatens the descendants of the saints.

However, this mouth grows on others, and it is impossible for Chen Wen to block everyone's mouths. Today's events, those Manchu officials will inevitably add fuel and vinegar, and Han Yangol and Cheng Jinzheng, who have already been angry enough by him, don't mention it, only say that Feng Rujing and Li Jiqi are two guys, which can be said to be dogs who don't bark before they bite people, so there is no need to think about it at all.

Kong Yanzhen has been sent back to the Kong family by Chen Wen's personal soldiers, and the Kong family has to decide for themselves, I hope that the few questions before leaving can play a role. As for those Manchu officials, Chen Wen suddenly didn't want to let them go back so easily, and he had to squeeze some more surplus value.

It's just that the current Chen Wen can't take care of these bits and pieces for the time being, this mansion city has indeed been taken, but many things are far from being as simple as he imagined.

In terms of city defense, the Ming army has been completely controlled, but the situation in the city is extremely poor. As a result of Chen Jin's actions, the people's grain reserves have been so low that the rich have almost been swept away by the accusations of crime, the food stocks of the middle-class families have almost been exhausted, and the ordinary people and those poor families have long been in a desperate situation.

In the city of Quzhou, grass roots, tree bark, rats, birds, cattle and horses have been searched and eaten, and some people who have eaten Guanyin soil have already appeared to be unable to excrete feces, and if they continue like this, they will soon be swollen to death.

As for the phenomenon of cannibalism, it is said that the situation reported below is not nothing, Chen Wen knows that there are many people who have been concealed or exaggerated for too short a time, but the phenomenon of hunger is really in the city, and all this comes from Chen Jin's cruelty.

Chen Wen knew that he was wrong, it turned out that Chen Jin was not an incarnate necromancer, turning the people of Quzhou into skeleton warriors, this son of a bitch planned to feed his greed for trying to make up for his merits with the flesh and blood of tens of thousands of people in a city, and defend the city for the Manchus.

This matter was already known to Chen Wen as Li Jinzhong and others fled to the Ming army camp, and the viciousness of his intentions really shocked those who knew it. Food is easy to solve, but the rich people of the city are almost swept away, and the rest are Manchu officials, these people are the objects that Chen Wen needs to crackdown, the thoroughfare of the four provinces, once the richest place in the eight provinces of eastern Zhejiang, now there is not even a minimum commercial system, because without people, everything will no longer exist.

Now, Chen Jin is dead, and the city has fallen into the hands of the Ming army, but his goal has been achieved. The Ming army had to sit there for a while to wait for the city to regain its vitality and maintain a minimum of order.

It was already lunch time when the Ming army completely controlled the city, and Chen Wen had a complete plan for the situation in the city, which was carried out by the staff and the army.

People are iron, rice is steel, and many people are hungry and panicked if they don't eat a meal, and they are even one step away from death.

After the Ming army entered the city, there was still the phenomenon of starving to death, which Chen Wen could not tolerate. So, after entering the city, the Ming army first guarded the treasury as usual. Until it was confirmed that there was no resistance from the Qing army in the city, with the posting of the notice of Anmin, at noon, Chen Wen divided the city into four areas according to the cross street of Fucheng, and set up a soup kitchen in each area, and the Ming army was responsible for maintaining order.

In front of the county government in Fucheng, Rong Qian was holding the bowls and spoons he brought from home and lining up in a long line to count money at the Ming army's soup kitchen. Looking at the Ming army at the end of the flow of people, the men were serving porridge to the people spoonful, although I don't know whether the porridge is thin or thick, but I can vaguely hear the gratitude of the people in the distance, I think it shouldn't be as thin as the previous Manchu government and water.

Rong Qian's family of six, out of distrust of this inexplicably kind-hearted Ming army, only he and his wife issued a notice in the Ming army and walked out of the house to come to the soup kitchen. Because the Ming army was indeed giving porridge, and the Ming army in the brigade was still maintaining order, and it didn't look like the army with bad military discipline, his wife hurriedly rushed home to bring his parents, sister and young son to receive the porridge.

The flow of people was slowly moving forward, and from afar, everyone who had finished receiving the porridge would be directed to the edge of the queue so as not to disturb it, where they would finish the porridge and leave. As for whether you choose to go home or come back in a circle to continue receiving porridge, it will vary from person to person.

After a while, Rong Qian had already traveled half the distance, the aroma of the rice porridge at the end of the flow of people became stronger and stronger, and the sound of swallowing saliva around him was also more and more, getting heavier and heavier, and he even saw a bowl of rice porridge that would not be poured with chopsticks inserted into the hands of a passing person, and it felt that it was almost the same as rice.

Many people have seen similar scenes, and the rapid increase in hunger has caused some people to start to become unruly. However, anyone who wanted to be in the right position, no matter what the reason, would be dragged out of the queue by the Ming army and thrown to the end to re-arrange, during which they would naturally be kicked and beaten a few times.

After a few unlucky people who tried the law had to be rearranged, the order of the queue in front of Rong Qian began to be in order, and in the back, it was still the same, and the phenomenon of just the right position occurred from time to time, and even the Ming army began to shift their attention there.

None of this mattered to him, as the soup kitchen was getting closer and closer, and his family had not yet arrived. According to the requirements of the Ming army, after receiving the porridge, you must eat it quickly, and it is not allowed to delay time there, these days of siege, especially recently, although Rong Qian is also hungry, but it is not as good as his mother and sister, he lined up here to let his wife go back in order to be able to serve more food for his mother and sister as a scholar, and now the family has not arrived, which has made him sweat in a hurry.

At this moment, there was a call from his family in the distance, but he couldn't get out of the queue, so he had to watch his family come over anxiously, and at the same time attracted several Ming troops in the distance.

"You need to queue up to receive porridge, and you can't be in the right place, that's the rule."

The Ming army led by him looked like an officer, and it seemed that he was allowed to come over after seeing the old master's dress of Rong Qian's father. Seeing this, Rong Qian in the queue hurriedly said a few good words to a few people around him, and explained to a Ming army near him before rushing over.

When he got to his family, he bowed his hand and explained to the officer: "This general, the student is in the front line, not in the right position, the student's parents and sister have not eaten for the past few days, and they are still accommodating. ”

"The general doesn't dare, a certain is just a general." The officer saw that he was a scholar, but he was polite. "Student, are you a scholar?"

Hearing this question, Rong Qian's spirit couldn't help but perk. "Exactly, the students are the students of the Yongzhou Mansion in Huguang."

"Huguang, it's said to be far away, why are you here?"

The officer's eyes were full of suspicion, and Rong Qian had to continue to explain: "The hometown is in chaos, the officials and the Tartars are fighting over it repeatedly, and the students have no choice but to join their relatives here. ”

"I see."

Rong Qian could see that the officer seemed to be a little hesitant, he seemed to remember something, so he hurriedly said: "The student used to work in the curtain of the old Huguang Governor He Lao. ”

I thought that I could get some convenience by raising my value, although he didn't want to mention this past, but now that the situation is compelling, who knows how long the Ming Army's soup soup will last, and it is better to let the family eat porridge as soon as possible than to say this sentence less, but it turned out that the family could not eat this hot meal.

But he didn't expect that the officer listened to what Huguang Governor He Lao said, but a trace of displeasure suddenly appeared on his face, and then confirmed to him: "What are you talking about? ”

It is very impolite to call him by his first name, especially if he is still addressed by a high-ranking official of the imperial court who did not yield to the country. When he heard this, he was stunned, and even the next answer was only a mechanical reaction. At this time, the officer no longer had that politeness, but went about business.

"No way!"

Hearing this, Rong Qian didn't expect it to be like this at all, he didn't know that due to the occurrence of Cao Conglong's rebellion, this Ming army was extremely resistant to the civilian officials of the prison army, especially He Tengjiao, who was a traitor who was not a thing than Cao Conglong in the report, and he claimed to have been a staff member with He Tengjiao, which was naturally counterproductive.

The flow of people was still slowly moving forward, and the place where he was before was getting closer and closer to the soup kitchen. Seeing this, Rong Qian was also a little anxious, and hurriedly told the general manager that he and his wife and children could immediately go to the back and rearrange them, just ask his parents and sister to line up with him. But the officer remained the same official as he was, refusing to be accommodating at all, until another officer who seemed to be of a higher rank approached.

"The students and the students' wives and children can be rearranged at the end immediately, but please be accommodating to the two military masters."

"What's going on?"

The new officer asked the previous officer, and quickly figured out what was going on, and then explained to Rong Qian that this was a rule issued by the military judge, and that the military order was like a mountain, and naturally it could not be accommodated.

"Well, if it's one for one, it's okay, but it's just once."

Hearing this, Rong Qian was immediately overjoyed, and immediately explained to his parents, but instead his parents pushed each other several times, and finally his mother went to the place where he had just been in the queue, and the rest of the family rushed to the end of the line with him.

"Qian'er, this royal division is much stronger than those chaotic armies in Huguang in terms of strict military discipline, no wonder it can easily defeat several times the Tartars, it seems that it is not yet known who will fall in the end."

"What my father said is that it is indeed much stronger than the thirteen towns in Huguang, even if it is an army transferred by the imperial court from other places. It's just that I don't know how Master He offended them, it seems that this Wang Shi has never left Zhejiang. ”

Rong Qian's doubts quickly dissipated as the queue continued to advance, his mother soon finished receiving the porridge, and the rest of the Rong family also slowly advanced with the queue, just like in front of the other soup kitchens in this city, the Ming army worked hard to maintain order, and the people could receive the porridge in turn as long as they obeyed the regulations. Even if there are always some special circumstances, the overall order is beginning to take root in the hearts of the people.

This was Chen's first step in speeding up the rebuilding of Quzhou, as long as the people could abide by the rules set by the Ming army, the next things would be easier to carry out, and he could save valuable time and energy to prepare for the next operation to expand the occupied area.
