Those who are in the arsenal are also hidden by the weapons of the officials, and they are ordered to guard them. In the Spring and Autumn Period, the arsenal has become a system, in addition to the national capital setting, the Jin State Zhuqing also has an arsenal to collect weapons, after entering the era of written law, will also promulgate the "Cang Law", "Library Law" to manage. And the impression that Chaoge Fan's arsenal gave Zhao Wuxian was that it had a large inventory and a complete range of types.

As he walked along, one storehouse after another was opened: the bows that had loosened their strings were stacked together like bundles of long-handled weapons on a pyre, and on the wooden shelves were neatly arranged short-handled weapons.

In the collection of books dedicated by the officials, the total number of bows and bowstrings recorded was 2,678 and 1,987......

Short-handled combat weapons are: 500 short swords!

There are 142 pieces of beryllium for vehicles, 449 pieces of beryllium, 2,517 pieces of spears, and 3,839 pieces of ge. Beryllium is a double-edged spear-like weapon shaped like a short sword followed by a long handle, inherited from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. This type of weapon later evolved into the lance, which had a powerful impact and piercing ability, and was a sharp weapon in the hands of infantry and cavalry.

In addition, there were many densely packed protective equipment: 1,000 shields, 1,423 light leather armor, 633 thick leather armor, and 587 armor armor......

Finally they paced to the garage outside, where there were still three hundred cars that had just been completed......

After turning around, Qi Wan, who was following him, swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "It is even bigger than Qufu's arsenal, and there are more weapons and equipment stored." ”

Zhao Wuxian smiled: "The Qianchengqing clan is not boasting. ”

After leaving the arsenal, next to it is the palace of the Fan family, and those buildings are still very majestic and gorgeous. The heavy hall is sparse, and the floors are sparse. Connecting stairs.

Wuxian pointed over there and said, "The Fan family has been self-proclaimed in Chaoge for more than a hundred years, and it has been passed down for five generations. Although it is only the Qing clan and not the princes, after all, it has been established for so long, inheriting the hundred miles of Yin Shang and Wei Guo, and Chaoge is the transportation and trade center of the Jin Kingdom and Qi, Wei, Xianyu and Northern Yan, so it is very rich. ”

These are only sealed in the arsenal, counting the weapons and equipment held by those soldiers who Fan Ji took away, and then captured by the Zhao army, and counting the guys in the hands of the Chaoge guards, it is definitely not an exaggeration to say that Fan's financial resources can arm the three armies.

After praising it, Wuxian sighed again: "It's just this glorious Qianchengqing clan." With so many people and weapons, why did the city fall so easily? ”

The officials and retainers beside him all bowed their hands and said: "Because the Zhao family is blessed by Haotian, the general is wise and martial!" ”

In the sound of praise, there was also a little strangeness, and the commander of the arsenal who followed behind suddenly laughed and said: "It is true that General Zhao is good at fighting, and it is true that Zhao is brave in the soldiers of Erqing, but the villain thinks that the death of the Fan family has its own reasons. ”

Zhao Wuxian glanced at the commander of the arsenal. Motioned for him to continue.

"Because the Fan family's way of governing the family has gone astray, they regard harshness as discernment, fraud as wisdom, and pretentiousness as loyalty. Take scheming as having the ability to accumulate wealth as talent. It's like a fur skin, big is big. But it is the way of ruin, so it will die first...... Death of Fan. I hope the general will take it as a warning......"

The people next to him changed color and shouted: "Bold! ”

Zhao Wuxian stopped them: "Prosperity must decline." When the water is full, it overflows, what he said makes sense, my family Zai Meng Tan said, the past is not forgotten, the teacher of the future is that I personally destroyed the Fan family, and I will naturally learn their lessons. ”

He looked at the thin, unattractive Arsenal Commander and said, "What's your name?" ”

"The villain is suspicious, and the local is singing."

"Okay, Bo Su, I heard that when the city was broken, Zhong Xingyin only cared about escaping, and Chao Gezai sent someone to order you to burn down the arsenal and granary, why didn't you follow? And bring someone to guard this place, and dedicate it to me in good condition? ”

Bo bowed his head suspiciously and said: "It is true that I am a minister of the Fan family, but this is not only the treasury of the Fan family, but also the granary of the Chaoge people and even hundreds of thousands of people in Hanoi. Although the villain has a lowly position, he also knows that after the war, there will be a disaster year, and the war has a great impact on Hanoi's agricultural affairs, and this year's harvest can be half of the previous year. I would rather be charged with disloyalty than keep this place, and I hope that the gentleman can learn from the lessons of the Pham family and distribute this grain to the people of Hanoi, which is the way to long-term peace and stability......"

At this moment, Zhao Wuxian was even more impressed by this little commander: "You have such knowledge, but you can only be a mere warehouse official, Fan Shiqu is like this, why don't you die?" ”

"I will consider your proposal, and have people make a charter for post-war relief and hunger relief, so that no one will starve to death before the autumn harvest! Now that the people's hearts are undecided, you will continue to manage the treasury for me for the time being, and I will send a treasurer to be your deputy to help you manage this place. Do it well, I will ensure that you are not lacking, and there will be promotions in the future! ”

Feeling that he had picked up another usable material, Zhao Wuxian was very happy, and at this moment, Liu Xiajiao and Yu Xi outside the city sent another piece of good news.

……

The car slowly drove into view, on the car was a pu mat, blood flowed and coagulated on the mat and the car, and the fat body of Zhong Xingyin lay on it, like a bear that had been skinned after being hunted.

It is said that he first took poison and then stabbed himself in the stomach with a dagger, and after both prongs, he was not completely dead, but unfortunately he could not be saved.

Zhao Wuxian looked at the corpse for a long time, let people identify it, and it was sure that it was Zhong Xingyin, and then laughed and said: "Zishi went to a heart disease for me!" The second and third sons, although Handan and Bairen have not yet fallen, Fan and the second secretary of the Bank of China are equivalent to perishing! ”

Everyone came to watch the congratulations, but they didn't know that although Zhao Wuxian looked overjoyed, he couldn't be happy in his heart.

Wuxian has mixed feelings in his heart: there are more than 20 counties under the rule of Fan Jichu and Zhongxingyin, more than 100,000 people, and thousands of retainers and diners.

But now, it's all gone.

Fan Ji shot himself and died, and he really turned into ashes. Zhong Xingyin's body was lying in the car, wrapped in a mat. Being watched by everyone, like a plaything. So Zhao Wuxian saw their fate. I can't help but feel that the world is impermanent, and I don't have the excitement of defeating a strong enemy in my imagination. There was a lack of interest for a while. What comes to mind is how to govern this land that has been ravaged by war for months, how to divide the fruits of victory, and how to deal with the aftermath......

It was Bo Skeptic's performance and suggestions that gave him a glimmer of inspiration, and the loyalty of the Fan officials and the people to the second secretary may not be as deep-rooted as imagined......

He then ordered the chariot to be circled around the city of Song, so that the guards and the people who had surrendered could see it, and then it was reined in. The funeral of the following king.

At the same time, a decree was issued to restrict military discipline and the administration of the people.

"Those who are enemies of the Zhao family, Fan and the second secretary of the Bank of China, have nothing to do with the people. The boy agreed with Chaoge's father that during Zhao Jun's Chaoge, there were three chapters of the law: the murderer died, the wounded and the thief was punished. In addition, they do not plunder a house, nor kill a man, nor kill a single officer. Everyone is doing their job and waiting for the autumn harvest! ”

This order spread throughout every street and alley of Chaoge, and it was learned that the Zhao clan would not clean the city and would not carry out harsh governance. Even after agreeing to open a warehouse for relief, the people of Chaoge felt a little calmer, and those who surrendered shouted for Zhao's tolerance.

Victory is at hand. At this time, as a politician with big ambitions, what you have to do is not to take revenge like crazy. Rather, we must start trying to buy the hearts and minds of the people......

However, the fact that Zhong Xingyin is dead still has to be publicized to reassure the people who belong to him. Let the allies be firm and the enemies be terrified.

Zhao Wuxian briefly wrote this matter into a letter, sealed it in a bamboo tube and asked the knight to send it to Wen County.

I hope this news can make Zhao Ying, who is seriously injured and recuperating, happy......

……

"Sure enough, just like Confucius said during the Wazhihui back then, the deceased is like a husband, reluctant to give up day and night...... It's autumn so soon. On the edge of the river, Jun Zuo of the Jin Kingdom commented in a tired voice.

He was shot by an arrow more than ten paces away during the battle, which pierced between his ribs, but fortunately he was protected by armor and stopped the arrow a little, without injuring his heart and lungs. Even so, it was a serious injury that was difficult to treat, and the wound was still infected, and it was a terminal illness called "Seven Days of Wind".

Fortunately, there were Lingque doctors to diagnose and treat him, and Zhao Ying survived with his strong will, but the sequelae still existed. He was tired, dizzy, headache, local muscle tightness, more than a month passed, he could barely get out of bed, but he still couldn't walk, let alone manage politics, internal affairs were handed over to the eldest daughter Ji Huan, and foreign affairs were Zhao Wuxian continued to lead the army to fight in the east and west.

Because of his weakness in his limbs, Zhao had to move in a wooden wheelchair made by craftsmen made by Zhao Wuxian, a thing called a "wheelchair" with wheels made of wood and bronze, and plush cushions to make his father more comfortable.

Zheng Long, the black-clothed guard, pushed the wheelchair carrying Zhao Ying to the side of the raging river, and after he could get out of bed, he always liked to come to the river to stay for a long time, watching the fishing boats fishing, watching the boats flow endlessly, and after a long time, the secretary did not speak.

Regarding the seasons, he was right. Now it is mid to late July, the beginning of autumn is approaching, the cool breeze is beginning to blow, the dew is beginning to fall, the cicadas are beginning to chirp, the eagle is worshipping the bird, the old things are ripe or aging and falling, and the rapid changes in life and life are catching people off guard.

At that moment, footsteps sounded faintly behind them.

Zheng Long knew that this was the eldest daughter of the lord, Ji Huan, who was already familiar with her way of walking: light and elegant, as if dancing happily on the water.

Sure enough, she soon appeared in Zheng Long's sight, dressed in a fiery red deep robe, ringing and clanging, because she was in a hurry, the maids behind her couldn't catch up with her, and they couldn't lift the long swing behind her for her.

Ji Huan didn't care that her long skirt fell to the ground, and when she saw Zhao Ying's back, she came over to salute, raised her coat to cover her fair face, and then offered the things in her hand.

"Father, it's a letter from Wuxian......"

She raised her head and blinked: "Looking at the appearance of the messenger, maybe it's good news!" ”

The tiny font on the rattan paper was sealed in an emerald green bamboo tube, and Zhao Ying seemed to sense the contents of the letter and reached out to take it.

"I hope so." Zhao Ying was noncommittal, he was injured and bedridden for a month, and after his former strong body was almost abolished, his personality changed a lot.

He didn't act in a hurry, first asked Zheng Long and Ji Huan to push him back into the pavilion, and then slowly read the letter, read it over and over again, frowned and raised his eyebrows, and only after a long time did he let out a long sigh.

Ji Huan asked curiously, "Father, what is written in the letter?" ”

Zhao Ying rubbed his temples that began to ache again, and said lightly: "Without him, it's just that another secretary of the Jin Kingdom has died......"

Although Zhao Ying was calm, the careful Ji Ying found that his father was suffering from illness, and there was a faint smile on his face that had lost weight, and his left hand, which was holding the wheelchair, couldn't help but tremble excitedly...... (To be continued.) )
