Chapter 808: Pacification and the hearts of the people
The city of Hangzhou is no longer the prosperous image of a few years ago, and the ashes and ruins after the fire can be seen everywhere, showing dilapidation and depression everywhere.
"Pack up all the things here, pay attention to the details, especially the connection between Fang La and the leader of the rebel army, and make use of all the valuable news, and don't let go of a trace!" Lotte said.
"Yes!" Tu Si and Huang Kanzhen, who were with Lotte's side, hurriedly replied.
The haste of the retreat was regarded by Fang La as the Holy Prince's Mansion, and there was a large amount of chaotic military capital left in the former Liangzhejiang Road Mansion.
……
A general came to report: "Master Hou, in the battle last night, Fang Qifo only led more than 1,000 men and horses to break through the barrage of our army and fled to the southwest, our army killed 9,000 enemies and captured more than 10,000!" ”
"How many casualties did our army have?" Lotte is expressionless.
The general hurriedly replied: "With Hou Ye's clever plan, our army has the advantage of strength and equipment, and more than 1,000 people were killed and more than 2,000 wounded!" ”
Lotte narrowed his eyes: "The casualties are so big, do you want to resist very fiercely?" ”
"Master Hou, the subordinates of the Seven Buddhas of this Fang are all like they don't want to die......"
The people are unbearable and will not take the desperate road of rebellion unless they have to, but Lotte also knows that most of the close subordinates who follow Fang La's side are the backbone and hardcore believers of Manichaeism.
"Big win, good!" Lotte knew that he couldn't be too harsh on his subordinates, and said: "Of all the soldiers and horses, which one is the most outstanding on the surface, Benhou wants to ask for credit for him!" ”
"Last night and night, Song Jiang's part was very hard!" The general hurriedly spoke.
It is extremely common for war reports to be faked, but few dare to fake them in front of Lotte, because these officers and soldiers from Biandu have not heard of the name of Lord Le, and they know that the shrewdness of this Lord Le is not something that ordinary people can do, and although Song Jiang is a chaotic army that surrendered, it can be regarded as a descendant of Lotte, so he can't do anything fake.
The subordinate generals asked again: "Master Hou, what to do with these more than 10,000 thieves?" ”
Lotte said: "According to the old rules, each person will be given two copper coins, and the policies of the imperial court will be explained to them, so that they can know for themselves and not make mistakes again." ”
"Master Hou, this is too cheap for them!" Some generals are puzzled.
Lotte was dissatisfied, and snorted: "Could it be that Ben Hou still wants to learn from Bai Qi and Xiang Yu, and order them to be killed?" ”
Killing these rebels will only lead the rebels to fight more with the officers and soldiers, and at that time, they are only afraid that there will be no more to quell the chaos, and they will need to exert more strength now.
……
After the recovery of Hangzhou, Lotte's affairs have just begun.
South of the Qiantang River, there are 80 men and horses under the command of Fang La, and now Fang La has to retreat to Hangzhou, he will not give up and rest, Fang La will not lead the army to attack Hangzhou again in a short time, which is something that Lotte has to guard again; Secondly, in addition to being appointed as the chief military officer of the suppression of bandits this time, Lotte also has the title of Liangzhejiang Envoy temporarily given by the Son of Heaven on his head, which also means that in addition to fighting with the Fang La army, Lotte must also do a good job in the reconstruction of Liangzhejiang Road.
Lotte didn't care too much about it before, until the time of conquering Hangzhou, Lotte really felt the trickiness of his position, not only to fight and govern the people, but the power of the hand, holding the military power and governing the people all the way, the whole is a copy of the former Tang Dynasty can be divided into feudal towns, with the treacherous nature of Chao Tong Guan, Liang Shicheng, Wang Huang, and Bai Shi, they will definitely stumble on Le Tianxia from time to time, and as a feudal official, Lotte has been in power for a long time, and it is really a matter of two words whether it will become the next An Lushan.
At this time, the Great Song Dynasty court, which was engaged in a miasma by the ministers, can be described as incompetent people in the country and incompetent people in the court.
In order to prevent the division of the feudal town, the Great Song Dynasty has guarded against the excessive power of the ministers since the founding of the country, and even more so to prevent both leading the troops and comforting the people, so the position of Lotte can only be temporary. Zhao Ji wanted to find someone to come out and take over the position of Lotte Ren Liangzhejiang Road Transformation History, but the Liangzhejiang rebel army was full of one million, and the imperial court could not draw too many men and horses to encircle and suppress, one was not good, the chaotic army not only destroyed the army that the imperial court went to conquer, but also waved the north.
At that time, it will be dangerous for a good Beijing official to do it, and who will be afraid of the fate to do what the two Zhejiang Road transformation envoys, so when Lotte received the order to go south to suppress Fangla, no one in the court was willing to come to Liangzhe, Lotte held two positions, and had the power of the nominal former Tang Dynasty envoy, which was also the helpless move of the Great Song Dynasty in this situation.
Now that Hangzhou City has been recovered, how can Lotte ask the imperial court for an order to send officials to serve as vacant local officials in Hangzhou, and someone will come to take over as an envoy of the two Zhejiang provinces, so that no one can use this as a pretext to attack himself.
After the chaos, there was great governance, but Lotte found that since he entered Hangzhou this time, the credibility and majesty of the imperial court did not have much in the hearts of the people of Hangzhou, and I really don't know how Zhu Mian and these magistrates in Hangzhou made a fuss in the past few years after he left Hangzhou.
However, it is also Fang Lazhi's great talent who is not immortal, and he entered Hangzhou City and burned all the way, and the team began to corrupt rapidly, and the people experienced the original hope, and the disappointment became bigger and bigger......
The situation is finally good, first the government lost the hearts of the people, and then Fang La also lost the hearts of the people, which is a bad is a good thing, the governance of Hangzhou is first of all to issue a notice to the people, in addition to the emperor's dismissal of Zhu Mian's official position, the suspension of Huashi Gang, and the removal of the Ying Feng Bureau, Lotte added another article, the people of the two Zhejiang provinces who had been rebellious were not held accountable, and then the official warehouse was opened, and before the capture of Hangzhou, it was ordered to transfer grain from Suzhou, Runzhou and other places, and distributed it to the people according to the head household registration after the city was broken.
The chaos has just been peaceful, the people's hearts are unstable, the city has been besieged for more than 20 days, the city is extremely short of food, and only food is the best means to buy people's hearts.
Disappointed in the official army, disappointed in the righteous army, one by one the people of Hangzhou who received relief food at first their expressions were still very contradictory and complicated, but the people on the ground in Qiantang County in the south of the city are different, after seeing the former Qiantang parents Guanle came forward, the people of Qiantang immediately cheered and jumped up, all elated, some of the elders came to see Lotte, Lotte is also close to the people and can't help but shush the cold and ask for warmth.
Seeing that it was Lotte who came to serve as the history of the Liangzhejiang Road system, the expressions of the people of Yuhang and Renhe were a little complicated at first, but they gradually changed their attitude towards the imperial court. Although Lotte served in Hangzhou for a short time, but these people still know a little about Lotte, this Le Da is very protective of the calf's character, taking Qiantang County as an example, this Le Da is not only the new Qiantang County, by taking the opportunity of the prefect to fight the cow, but also to loot Renhe, Yuyao, to create benefits for the people of Qiantang, now become the parents of the people of the entire two Zhejiang, treat Hangzhou will not be bad.
Seeing that a group of people in Qiantang County went to the government to meet Lotte, the people of Yuyao and Renge counties couldn't sit still, and went to visit Lotte.
……
"Master Hou, the news that we sent to Muzhou to inquire sent a letter saying that Fang Laji Muzhou, Shezhou, Quzhou, Wuzhou and the headquarters of the army totaled 300,000 troops, and now they have arrived in Fuyang, and they will enter Hangzhou tomorrow!"
Early in the morning of February 30, Lotte had just gotten up, and Huang Kan couldn't care about anything and rushed to Lotte in front of him.
"So fast?" Lotte couldn't help but be surprised, especially a little incredulous: "Is this serious? ”
Hearing Lotte ask, Huang Kanjian almost cried, "Master Hou, at this time, how dare you joke with your humble position." ”
"Drumming Gathering!" Lotte commanded sharply.
After the war, the silence of Hangzhou was quickly broken by the gathering of generals, and the people of the city could see that the generals hurriedly entered the history of the Zhizhi Mansion, and then they all hurriedly walked out and walked towards their respective garrisons.
On February 28, Fang Qifo withdrew from Hangzhou, and the official army regained Hangzhou on the same day and night, only one day later, Fang La led the army to counterattack, not only Lotte is a group of generals under his command were also shocked very much, and heard that Fang La brought 300,000 soldiers and horses this time, and the faces of many generals were frightened white.
Men and horses from outside the city were brought into the city, the walls that had been damaged a few days ago were repaired, the stones under the walls were taken back into the city, the trebuchets were lined up at the head of the city, and the people entering and leaving the city gates were strictly checked.
The atmosphere of the entire city of Hangzhou was tense, and the atmosphere before the war suddenly appeared.
The people of Hangzhou, who had experienced several wars, immediately understood that they were going to fight again.
At this time, notices were posted all over the city of Hangzhou, the content of the notices was very simple, the bandit Fang La led the army to counterattack, please stay at home and do not walk around, protect yourself.
Fang La counterattacked so quickly?
Set off a wave among the people of Hangzhou, the people of Hangzhou City, especially the people of Qiantang, remember that Lord Le returned to Hangzhou, how these people were welcomed, and that Fang La after attacking Hangzhou City, he killed the officials, and killed the rich and even set the fire to the homes of the common people.
When Lotte was fully deployed, the people of Qiantang County flocked to the Zhizhi Prefecture and asked Lotte to issue weapons to assist the officials and soldiers in fighting the bandits.
Hangzhou City was divided into two by Qiantang and Renhe, not only the elders and popular people of Qiantang County, but Renhe County also expressed their closeness to Lord Lehou, and the people of Renhe County were immediately afraid, afraid that Fang La would put a knife on his neck.
The people of Qiantang and Renhe counties gathered in front of the government department to ask to join the war, and this scene stunned the generals of the forbidden army, Song Jiang and others.
What is the will of the people, this is the will of the people!
Let the untrained people on the battlefield, this is tantamount to letting people go to death, these people are afraid that not only can not help but also become a drag, and 100,000 horses to defend a Hangzhou city is more than enough, Lotte is not allowed, came to the front of the government department, and it took a lot of words to persuade the people to go home.
