Chapter 110. Yanzhou crisis
The paper was burned by the fire, Hou Guoxing stared at the burning flame in his hand, as if he did not feel the pain of the flame burning his fingers, and said quietly to the officials on the left and right:
"This official is only here for disaster relief, not for anything else. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
After speaking, he looked at Liu Qiangong, who was breathing a sigh of relief, and Hou Guoxing continued:
"If there are military households under your Liu Garrison among the disaster victims, don't blame this official for being ruthless!"
"Thank you, my lord, the humble post will definitely be arranged by the military households of the military household......"
Hou Guoxing waved his hand, signaled Liu Qiangong to get up, and then walked back to the lobby, sitting on the chair weakly.
He felt helpless in his heart, if everything was more serious, according to the current trend, unless he killed the entire Ming bureaucratic system.
If this is the case, I am afraid that before he finishes killing, the entire bureaucracy of the Ming Dynasty will smash him to pieces.
After a stick of incense, when Hou Guoxing was about to collect the charges, Yang Qi came from the backyard and said something in Hou Guoxing's ear.
Hou Guoxing's face changed slightly, he got up and arched his hand towards King Lu, motioned for him to help take care of it, and then turned around and went to the backyard.
When I came to the backyard, I saw Yang Ba guarding the door, and Zhu Huiyan was sitting on a chair, looking at the door with an uneasy face.
Yang Wu and Yang Liu sat on the chair, gulping water, and the straw sandals they had deliberately changed into in order to pretend to be a disaster victim were gone, and the soles of their feet were covered with blood.
"Adult ......"
The two were about to get up, Hou Guoxing walked over quickly, pressed the two on the chair, and said:
"Sit down!"
Then he looked at Zhu Huiyan, who was nervous, and signaled him not to worry.
"My lord, this Chen Dashan person is really ill-intentioned...... Yang Wu told Hou Guoxing what happened in Chenjiazhuang.
"What? You're going to attack Yanzhou City tomorrow night? Hou Guoxing exclaimed: "There may be internal responses in Yanzhou City? ”
"In order to report to the adults, Beizhi and Yang Wu threw Croton into the well to get out, which should arouse suspicion, but I am afraid that the siege time will be advanced." Yang Liu added.
After listening to Yang Liu's words, Hou Guoxing gasped, which means that he had less than a night to prepare.
"How long will it take for the disaster relief team to reach Yanzhou?" Hou Guoxing asked as he paced with his hands behind his back.
"I'm afraid it's going to take three days!" Yang Qi bowed and replied.
"Where is Shen Zhixiong?" Hou Guoxing looked at Yang Ba and asked.
"Still at the inn!" Yang Ba replied.
Hou Guoxing kept walking, sweat on his forehead, 100,000 disaster victims, the White Lotus Sect, and the Yanzhou garrison only had 1,500 people, and there might be a traitor inside.......
After a while, Hou Guoxing gritted his teeth and said to Yang Ba:
"Yang Ba, take the princess back to the inn, and let Shen Zhixiong's convoy escort you out of the city to find Yang Feng and Zhang Mao." Seeing that Yang Ba was stunned on the spot, Hou Guoxing Zou Mei angrily reprimanded:
"Let's go! Overnight walk! Let's go! ”
"You're not leaving?" Zhu Huiyan got up and exclaimed.
Hou Guoxing looked at Zhu Huiyan, took a few steps back, and said with a smile:
"Princess, in such a time of danger, I should have personally escorted you out of danger. Helpless hundreds of thousands of victims here, how can I, as a disaster relief ambassador, leave here, and hope that the princess will have a smooth journey. ”
After speaking, he couldn't bear to look at Zhu Huiyan's appearance that was about to cry, and turned to leave.
"Hou Guoxing......." Zhu Huiyan's crisp voice sounded behind him.
Hou Guoxing paused, and then walked away quickly, ignoring Zhu Huiyan's anxious shouts behind him.
Coming to the front hall, Hou Guoxing sorted out his mood, stretched out his hand to take the charges on the table, and looked at them one by one.
After a long time, Hou Guoxing raised his head, looked at the Yanzhou officials standing on the two sides, sweating like rain, and said with a smile:
"Good! Very good! ”
"Please atone for your sins!" Everyone knelt down in unison. Through Liu Qiangong's example just now, they at least saw hope of exoneration. Therefore, the crime written this time basically confesses the sins committed by the individual.
Hou Guoxing looked at the official kneeling on the ground, and said:
"What the official asks is just for disaster relief, how much ink you are greedy for, all of them will be spit out to the official, from today onwards, as long as there is a disaster victim within your jurisdiction who starves to death, the official will definitely kill your entire family." After speaking, he lit all the charges in his hand and threw them on the lobby.
"Thank you for not killing! The lower officials will not let the victims starve to death! ”
The officials below replied in unison. For them, this is the best ending, they don't have to give their lives constantly, and even their official bodies have been saved, as for the silver that they spit out, they will slowly get it back after the famine. It's just that next time, I don't dare to do anything about the disaster food.
"The burning of these charges is just to show the sincerity of the officials. Don't think about fooling the official, the official still has the sword in his hand, and you don't need any reason to kill! ”
"The lower officials don't dare!" There was another neat answer at the bottom.
Hou Guoxing waved his hand, motioned for the officials below to get up, and continued:
"Have you ever heard of Chen Dashan in Chenjiazhuang?"
Since Hou Guoxing had just stated that he was only here for disaster relief, the officials present did not understand the intentions of the Demon King, and they all said that they knew that Chenjiazhuang, 70 miles away from Yanzhou City, had a Chen Dashan person, who was righteous and benevolent. Now he is scattering his family wealth to ask for help from the victims, and he is really an outstanding representative of the Yanzhou squire.
Hou Guoxing did not express his position, but secretly observed everyone's expressions, and after finding that there was nothing wrong, he asked:
"Chen Dashanren, what is his surname? Where is the origin? ”
"This... This..."The officials looked at each other, and no one could explain clearly what this virtuous and respected Chen Dashan man was.
"Yang Wu, tell the adults what you know!" Hou Guoxing called Yang Wu with a blushing face.
Yang Wu walked into the hall, arched his hand, and retold the matter of Chenjiazhuang again. After Yang Wu entered and dozens of cavalry rushed into Chenjiazhuang to snatch the food of the victims, Hou Guoxing found that Liu Qiangong, the garrison of Yanzhou, twitched unnaturally on his face.
After Yang Wu finished speaking, the civil and military officials below naturally exploded, and nearly 100,000 victims, under the organization of the White Lotus Sect, might attack Yanzhou City tomorrow, so that they could not be alarmed.
Let the Demon King catch it, at most cut off a head, if the White Lotus Sect gang catches it, it is not a joke, that group of thugs hate the officials of the Ming Dynasty, and the officials who fell into their hands are either Ling Chi or lighting the sky lantern.
Not to mention the wives and concubines and children of officials, after they were caught, they became the playthings of the thugs one by one, and they tried their best to toss them, even as good as prostitutes.
They were like ants on a hot pot, and some people felt that they should immediately send fast horses to Jinan overnight, and asked the Shandong general army to come to the aid quickly.
What's more, he even felt that he should send people to Liaodong and send heavy troops to protect the safety of King Lu and Lord Qincha. Of course, in essence, it is to protect them, but the argument is a little higher.
There are still some people who don't say a word, but they seem to be calculating and waiting for the demon king to let them go, and then they will leave overnight.
"Don't make any noise!" Hou Guoxing slapped the table and got up, and after the officials below quieted down, he stared at Liu Qiangong, the Yanzhou garrison, and asked:
"What do you think, Lord Liu?"
Looking at Hou Guoxing's gaze, Liu Qiangong settled down and said:
"My lord, I think that the garrison outside the city should be withdrawn into the city immediately, and then the city gate should be closed, and people should be sent to Jinan to rescue ......."
As a military general, Liu Qiangong is much better than others, and his analysis is also orderly.
Hou Guoxing nodded, and said:
"Lord Guo is really from the army, but I don't know if these 1,500 people can stop hundreds of thousands of victims?"
"Naturally, a frontal attack will not work, and when the humble post rushes overnight, 1,500 people from the headquarters will be transferred into the city, and the strong men will be summoned to defend the city, and they can still hold on until the reinforcements come." Liu Qiangong replied.
"That's great!" Hou Guoxing nodded, turned around and walked to the top of the lobby, and said to the frightened officials below:
"The top priority is to move the hundreds of thousands of victims from outside the city into the city first, otherwise when the rebels come, not to mention the lives of the victims, they may also sweep the victims outside the city."
Hou Guoxing paused after speaking, and continued to speak:
"The commander ordered the soldiers to seal the gates of the city, and from now on they were only allowed to enter and not to leave. The others immediately arranged relevant materials and prepared to welcome the victims into the city. If you are burnout. Those who escaped from the battle were dealt with by military law. ”
After the order was issued, the officials of Yanzhou left one after another, preparing materials for the victims to enter the city.
After all, the 200,000 victims needed food and drinking water are astronomical.
In case of a mistake, according to the character of this great demon king, it is impossible to really click them.
After everyone left, the entire prefect's yamen was left with Hou Guoxing, King Lu, Xie You'an, and Yanzhou garrison Liu Qiangong.
"My lord, without further ado, I will set off and move all the garrison camps into the city." Liu Qiangong arched his hand and said.
"Take it!" Hou Guoxing roared.
"My lord, why is that?" Liu Qiangong couldn't catch off guard, so that Yang Wu. Yang Qi suddenly became embarrassed and pressed to the ground. His face changed drastically, and he looked at Hou Guoxing and shouted.
………………………….
Late at night, Yanzhou City, west street, inside the inn.
"Lord Belle! Oh no! Minggou blocked the city gates! Huerhan pushed the door in, looked at the suddenly awakened Four Baylor and ignored the etiquette, handed the letter in his hand to the Four Baylor and continued:
"After the spies just sent the letter into the city, the city was full of fire, and now all four of them have been blocked, and we have cut off the news from outside the city!"
"Don't worry!" Ignoring the bitter cold of the deep winter, Sibeile put on a coat and opened the secret letter with the light that Huerhan had just lit.
"These idiots!" Four Baylor clutched the letter in his hand and was furious.
"But the matter has been revealed?" Hu Erhan was shocked: "The slave will escort Lord Belle away immediately!" ”
Four Baylor waved his hand and stopped the panicked Huerhan. Frowning, fingers kept tapping on the table, thinking about the situation in front of him.
If possible, he really wants to divide the group of fools in the White Lotus Sect now, and directly divide the five horses. I spent hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to help this group of idiots gather hundreds of thousands of victims, only hoping that after the strength of the White Lotus Sect soared, they would be able to go down to Yanzhou and Jinan first.
At that time, several Ming princes fell into the hands of the enemy, and cut off the line of the Ming Dynasty to support Liaodong, so they could naturally force Liaodong soldiers and horses to return to prevent and quell the chaos.
The rest is that the father Han led the Dajin Jian'er, and the soldiers were bloodless and occupied Shenyang, if the prestige of the White Lotus Sect continued to expand, it was not impossible to take the entire Liaodong.
