Because the Tang army did not experience the relationship of the war, after the Tang army occupied Chuzhou Prefecture, that is, Qingliu County, whether it was the market neighborhood in the city or the people's house manor outside the city, it did not cause major panic and turmoil, after the Tang army took over the city defense, under the order of Li Congjing, the soldiers were disciplined and disciplined, and there was no crime with the people, except for the soldiers patrolling the neighborhood, everything was no different from the past.

Although the patrol soldiers are awe-inspiring, but they do not squint, even if there is a yellow flower girl in front of them, it is as if they don't see it, this is because their prevention target is not ordinary people, but the traitors who intend to take advantage of the chaos to commit crimes, from ancient times to the present, every time there is turmoil in the place, it is the people who suffer, and those ruffians and hooligans and other rats, all take the opportunity to steal and rob all evil, even if it is a seemingly gentle and good person on weekdays, once the hypocrisy veil on the face is removed, it will be hideous and frightening.

The matter of soothing the people is particularly important in Chuzhou, Li Congjing personally inquired about everything, at this critical juncture, he has no reason to be lazy, because the middle and lower officials in Chuzhou have not been replaced, in the case of them coming forward to comfort the people, Chuzhou City is only sluggish for three or two days, everything is back to the normal track, the people should work and open shops, everything is in order, in the eyes of ordinary people, it seems that they do not perceive that Chuzhou has changed hands.

After Feng Dao and a group of other officials arrived in Chuzhou day and night, according to Li Congjing's instructions, in addition to taking over the civil and military affairs of Chuzhou, in order to quickly win the support of the people, and at the same time posted a notice in the city, so that the people would put forward the unfair treatment they had suffered in the past, and the unjust, false and wrongful cases were even more comprehensive, the people in front of the state and county governments are increasing day after day.

In the middle of the day, the yamen gradually became impassable, and the passion of the people to complain and petition can be described as enthusiastic, of course, there is no lack of trivial things to be used to publicize it, or it is purely full of food to support it to see the excitement, of course, it is not excluded that some of them have bad intentions and want to take the opportunity to grab personal gains, but it is in such a situation that the officials of the Tang Dynasty have no impatience, and the division of labor is orderly and orderly to register the demands of the people. Then solve everything with a thunderous and strict hand.

The talents of the officials of the Tang Dynasty after several years of tempering after the New Deal have been greatly reflected at this time, because they can always quickly distinguish the true and false size of the matter through the people's telling, and then deal with it accordingly, which not only makes the wronged people be treated fairly, but also allows those villains who try to make profits to be punished, so that the Tang Dynasty gains not only the name of benevolence and righteousness, but also the image of a smart and capable country, which is enough to make the people of Huainan return to their hearts and make the Huainan ruling class change color.

When Li Congjing came to the state capital to inspect the affairs, he saw the crowded and orderly scene inside and outside the yamen, although he did not say anything but the smile in his eyes has exposed the joy in his heart, over the years, the Tang Dynasty has worked hard to make the country prosperous, not only to make the army brave and good at fighting, greatly improved armaments, but also to harvest a large number of available capable officials, soft and hard national strength complement each other to get one plus one greater than two comprehensive national strength, Datang's efforts over the years have not been in vain.

Some of the Chuzhou snake officials who followed Li Congjing's side, looked at each other with awe-inspiring expressions at this time, since ancient times, it is easy to fight the country and defend the country, and it is not easier to subdue the people in a place than to capture a city, they look at the people who have come and returned from the excitement, how can they not realize that although the Tang Dynasty has only won Chuzhou, it has gained great prestige in the hearts of the people.

In this way, not only will the number of people fleeing in Chuzhou decrease sharply, but I am afraid that those sons and daughters who are familiar with the local area and want to show their strength will also join the Tang army and become the vanguard of the Tang Dynasty to continue to attack Huainan.

"His Royal Highness the King of Qin is fraternal and benevolent, and there are not only 100,000 brave and good fighters under his command, but also countless civil officials who are conscientious and conscientious, which really makes us admire, and today I can witness this scene with His Royal Highness that will go down in history, it is really a blessing for us to wait for three lives." There is a local official in Chuzhou who is flexible and good at flattery, and immediately exaggerated his words and slapped Li Congjing's ass.

Although this kind of sycophant is very explicit, but it is very useful, Li Congjing's smile on his face makes people feel like a spring breeze, "The people are precious, the community is secondary, the monarch is light, and the one who wins the people is the son of heaven." If the imperial court wants to clear the universe, how can it not be sympathetic to the suffering of the Li people? Although the lonely king went around to conquer, he didn't dare to take it lightly for a moment. Those who benefit the people are the country of the family. ”

Of course, Li Congjing knows that these actions may not be sincere, these Chuzhou land snakes can decisively surrender when the Tang army attackes, and if the Tang army is unfavorable in the future, they will immediately fall to the Wu army, and protect their own interests in the torrent of the big waves, which is the life creed and way of life of these small fish and shrimps, but having said that, Li Congjing can not help but show the demeanor of the prince of the Tang Dynasty and let the world know what the Tang court is.

Li Congjing said to everyone again: "You are all Chuzhou talents, the lone king to govern Chuzhou depends on your strength, the court law is strict and impartial, as long as officials at all levels can benefit the country and the people, perform their duties without loss and care for the community, the court will never be stingy to give high positions and generous benefits, and help all the talents to show what they have learned in their lives and their ambitions." ”

If these words are just some scenes, but Li Congjing's words did stir up waves in the hearts of those who have a heart, "In the final analysis, this world is not the world of any person or family, but the world of the people of the world." Making the world's heroes serve the country and make the best use of their talents is not only the way to benefit the common people, but also the thing that His Majesty and the lonely king sigh at night. Govern the world with the people of the world, share the world with the people of the world, why can't the world prosper, why can't the Tang Dynasty make the four Yi surrender, why can't the eight directions come to the court? ”

Even if it is not sincere, but as the king of Qin, saying these words is enough to move people, how can ordinary people have such a mind, not only those Chuzhou officials were a little stunned when they heard Li Congjing's words, but the people of Chuzhou and even the Tang officials present looked at Li Congjing with bright eyes after hearing this.

"Meet His Royal Highness King Qin!" First of all, the officials of the Tang Dynasty got up and left their seats to salute, and then the officials of Chuzhou who were doing things bowed one after another, and finally the people of Chuzhou who were present reacted and learned that the young man standing under the corridor in front of him was the king of Qin, who made the Tang army and Minqiu have no offense, and ordered the Tang officials to help the people to be the masters.

Li Congjing asked everyone to get up without courtesy, those officials didn't care, they got up very simply, but some people, kneeling on the ground for a long time and reluctant to get up, the closest to Li Congjing was a white-haired old man, his clothes were tattered and patched, and he was hugged by a little lady who was also washed white in linen clothes, and the old man lay on the ground and didn't want to get up, the little lady bit her lip and was anxious and afraid, and her little face, which was already a piece of food, was also white, such a combination made Li Congjing unbearable, and hurriedly stepped forward to help the old man.

It wasn't until the old man's arms were on his hands that Li Congjing was stunned to find that the old man's left arm was gone below the wrist, and the other party was supported by the little lady and didn't notice it, the old man with white hair was slightly messy when he looked up with tears on his face, and after the old man's story, Li Congjing understood that the little lady next to him was his granddaughter, he had two sons, the younger one died in the early years, and the older one was the father of the little lady, who married a woman with a very good appearance, but because the woman was favored by a commander of the Chuzhou army, Forcibly pulled back from the side of the road to rape, the woman was humiliated and went home and then committed suicide, his husband immediately went to the barracks to find the commander to reason, but never returned, not the later the commander somehow found his house, but fell in love with the little lady in front of him to rob, the old man was cut off his left hand while fighting with the commander, so that the little lady survived, but Rao is so that the commander also put down the cruel words when he left, and he will definitely come again after ten days. Then the Tang army marched into Chuzhou, and under Li Congjing's strict order, the commander temporarily pressed his temperament, which made the little lady still sound.

This story is not unusual, it is common enough and representative, to say that the commander may not be so bold in normal times, but after the sudden outbreak of war, human nature becomes terrifying, and the commander relies on defending the city to fight, it is not surprising that there is such a style, who would want to ask a commander who is about to fight with the enemy army for the sake of a people's daughter? When the government called on the people to complain about grievances, the old man came very early, and he didn't expect anything, but the government sent the commander to prison soon after receiving the pleading, which made the old man see hope, and today he brought his granddaughter to ask about the progress, of course, to thank the government.

Hearing the old man say these words with tears streaming down his face, Li Congjing's face was gloomy, he called the official in charge of the case to inquire about the progress of the matter, the official said that he was collecting evidence, Li Congjing said: "If the evidence is conclusive, the commander should be beheaded, and report it to King Gu afterwards." ”

The officials hurriedly agreed, Li Congjing's words meant that he was in charge of this matter, how could the officials below dare not do their best? The commander is quite powerful in Chuzhou, this only needs to look at the face of the Chuzhou official who followed Li Congjing, but the commander is the head snake in Chuzhou, and now this matter has been asked by King Qin, where does he still have the reason to escape?

The old man pulled the little lady to kneel down and bow again, even the King of Qin Rende, crying silently, because the injustice suffered by his parents and grandfather could finally be cleared by the snow, the little lady also cried very much, the deeds of the grandson made the people feel sorry, they were originally suffering from the same grievances, which can be called the same disease and sympathy, at this time, seeing that Li Congjing actually took care of this matter personally, even the inviolable commander who was high above the gods on weekdays could not be exempted from responsibility, and their affairs would naturally be dealt with reasonably.

Li Congjing helped the old man up again, motioned for everyone to get up, and then said in a very serious tone: "A war may not kill or wound hundreds of soldiers, but the suffering brought to the people is often ten times and a hundred times this. The troubled times are the misfortune of the family and the country, the war is even more inferior, the imperial court raises troops in Huainan, not intended to create trouble, the world is not unified one day, the war will come sooner or later, the purpose of the war is to eliminate the war, the peace of the world will come sooner or later, in the future in my Tang Dynasty, I may not dare to say that it is absolutely fair, but the lonely king promised you that the court will never sit back and watch the tragedy happen in the world! ”

"King Qin Rende!" "King Qin is wise!" "Ten thousand years of Datang!" "Your Majesty Shengming!" The shouts one after another filled the entire official temple, and the sound stirred up, crossed the courtyard wall of the official temple, and spread far away.

......

The new Chuzhou Thorn History is the previous Yingzhou Thorn Shi Zhu Changzhi, who likes to work with the people and is known as the "River Mud Thorn History", the officials in the state capital are very busy, only he looks very idle, swaying around with his hands, but just looking at the orderly operation of the state capital, you know that this "and mud thorn history" is not only good at sharing weal and sorrow with the people.

When Li Congjing inspected the affairs of the official temple, he was led by Zhu Changzhi, and after listening to the latter's introduction and report on the affairs of the official temple, Rao is Li Congjing, who pursues perfection in everything and likes to find faults, and did not find anything to blame. The meticulousness of this man's affairs and his rough face seemed to be two extremes, in stark contrast.

Li Congjing is sure that he will help the people settle grievances in Chuzhou, and will quickly obtain the effect of convincing the people, which is actually the same as the method of establishing a base area of a certain party in later generations, but the two are more thunderous than the methods of a certain party, and they are targeted at the local tyrants and landlords, while Li Congjing is only aimed at those wicked people who oppress the people in the fish and meat township, and the same is that both can quickly gain the support of the target people.

"Helping the people solve their problems is only the first stage of Chuzhou's civil affairs, what do you want to do in the future?" After Li Congjing inspected the affairs of the state capital, he had lunch in the state capital, he ignored the set of eating and sleeping, and now that everything was busy, he had to seize every moment, and asked Zhu Changzhi this during the meal.

Zhu Changzhi's eating posture is very in line with his appearance, rough and fast, even if he is sitting in the same room with Li Congjing, he does not pretend to chew slowly, such a temperament makes people not doubt that he did say that before: A certain family pulled in the ground, all into your mouth, when you wait, how can you not feel that there is a problem? Of course, this topic will not be brought up by Li Congjing, and it is not an appropriate occasion anyway.

"The lower officials know that dealing with the grievances of the people, one is to use this to tell the officials and people of Chuzhou, now Chuzhou is the Chuzhou of the Tang Dynasty, and everything is dominated by the officials of the Tang Dynasty, and the second is to initially subdue the people, not to mention that the people are desperate to only recognize the Tang Dynasty and not recognize Huainan, so they can't resist the Tang Dynasty, of course, it is best to be grateful, and thirdly, to deal with some of the big households in the fish and meat township, there is the intention of cleaning up the local atmosphere and rebuilding local order, and also erecting the prestige of the Tang Dynasty, which is the fourth turn after all three are achieved, It is also the ultimate goal: to implement the new imperial court policy in Chuzhou! Zhu Changzhi finished these words in one breath and took a big sip of soup.

Li Congjing's eyes couldn't help but show appreciation, he used vigorous and resolute means in Chuzhou to help the people settle the injustices, the good intentions of which are afraid that some staff members can not know everything, but Zhu Changzhi said it completely, Li Congjing couldn't help but think that the implementation of the new policy and then the promotion of the new policy of capable officials, and then the use of these officials for the new policy, is indeed a virtuous circle.

"When the new deal is implemented in Chuzhou, that is the time to really convince the people, only when the new deal is implemented in Chuzhou, Chuzhou can be regarded as truly becoming the territory of the Tang Dynasty, Huainan Jiangbei fourteen states, Chuzhou is the first place to implement the new deal, we must set an example, the relationship is far from the weight of a state and a county, you have a long way to go, you have to act thoroughly, I believe you will not let the lonely king down." Li Congjing said.

"Your Highness, rest assured, the lower officials will never dare to let the blood of the soldiers of the three armies be shed in vain!" Zhu Changzhi said solemnly.

Although Li Congjing will sit in Chuzhou for the time being, most of them will not go to other places, but he has too many things to care about and deal with, and it is inevitable that the civil affairs of Chuzhou will let Zhu Changzhi take full authority to deal with it, and he will only ask about the role of supervision from time to time, although Feng Dao came to Huainan with a large number of officials, he himself will not be specifically in charge of a state and a county, but will discuss the overall political things with Li Congjing.

After leaving the state capital, Li Congjing went to inspect all parts of the city, focusing on the market and the temple to see, the former can best reflect whether a city is in a normal state, and the latter can know what the people are thinking - is it to look forward to the stability of the Tang Dynasty's rule in Chuzhou, or to pray for the Wu army to come over and get Chuzhou as soon as possible? There are many questions to be asked about how to rule and govern a place, and if you understand this, you will know whether the policies you have promulgated have won the hearts of the people, whether the results are good or bad, and what needs to be improved.

Li Congjing was in the market in a rice store to check the price of grain when he was recognized, although Li Congjing to Chuzhou after the unflattering, but on weekdays there is always a show up, by some people with a lot of identity and vision can not be recognized, the people around the people know that the King of Qin is here, a few have to flock to come to visit, onlookers, seeing the people inside and outside the store more and more gathered, the guards are solemn, after all, Chuzhou is the land of Xinke, who knows if there are any ill-intentioned people mixed in the crowd, If King Qin made any mistakes here, then the problem would be serious.

Li Congjing didn't care about this, he smiled kindly and talked about the operation of the store with the honest and fearful shopkeeper, and did not forget to talk to the people about the people in a friendly way, without the intention of guarding against people's hearts, such a pro-people style quickly won him the favor of the people, and gradually there were more people talking to him, and there was even a lot of laughter.

When the security situation was mentioned by the guards, Li Congjing said with a smile, these are my people of the Tang Dynasty, if the people of the Tang Dynasty want to deal with their King of Qin, the Lone King has thousands of troops to protect him, if the people of the Tang Dynasty respect their King of Qin, even the cow ghosts, snakes and gods have to retreat, why should the Lone King worry about the small people?

These words were heartbreaking, and it was not surprising that the eyes of the people looked at him with admiration. Of course, this is also Li Congjing's policies in Chuzhou are "to care the people", "to reassure the people" and "love the people", which is quite popular.

......

After Meng Ping captured Haozhou, he took a little rest and immediately marched to Chuzhou, different from the onslaught in Haozhou, Meng Ping was extremely flexible when he used troops in Chuzhou, because there was a guy in Chuzhou called Ma Renyu, who led the soldiers and horses of Chuzhou with the post of assassin of Chuzhou, not a simple character, and the most used by Wu people when evaluating him was six words: courageous and resourceful and loving the people. Ma Renyu is as famous as Zhou Zong, and is the two most trusted by Xu Zhihe, who has won Xu Zhihe's trust and reuse, if it weren't for the fact that he was still relatively young and had little qualifications, he was afraid that it was not Liu Xin who led the troops to rescue Shouchun, but he Ma Renyu.

Chuzhou is an important place, only Shanyang and Xuyi are two places, of which Shanyang is the seat of Chuzhou Prefecture, and Xuyi is close to Haozhou. In the face of Ma Renyu, a difficult opponent, Meng Ping only took three days to pocket Xuyi, shocked the four places of Chuzhou, and then quickly sent troops to Shanyang. But even such a brilliant record did not extinguish the anger in Li Congjing's heart, and when the war in Chuzhou was halfway through, Li Congjing issued a strict order to call Meng Ping from Chuzhou to Chuzhou.

Li Congjing's anger stemmed from hearing that Meng Ping had beheaded the people in front of the battle to threaten the Wu army when he attacked Zhongli.

When Meng Ping arrived at Chuzhou City, Li Congjing's guards were waiting at the city gate, and he rushed to Li Congjing's mansion non-stop, Meng Ping dismounted in front of the mansion, Meng Songbai was already waiting at the gate of the mansion, and when he saw Meng Ping, Meng Songbai just sighed, and said that he had not seen His Royal Highness so angry for several years, so he took him into the door.

Coming to the door, Meng Songbai went first to report, Meng Ping was waiting outside the door, not long after the former entered the door, Meng Ping heard a crisp sound of things being broken in the house, and an undisguised voice full of anger came out like thunder, "Get in!" ”
