Li Yi quickly arranged manpower to investigate the factors of instability in various places in Zhenyuan Prefecture, and at the same time reported the situation to Li Zhongju from time to time. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Li Zhongju analyzed the news sent by Li Yi, and he decided to take Huairou measures this time, not to let these so-called "chaotic people" die on the streets, but to give them a reason to live.

Li Zhongju immediately asked Liu Jiang to lead the Red Sword Battalion to the east of Zhenyuan Mansion City to quell the rebellion in the east. Li Zhongju specifically told Liu Jiang that he must pay attention not to harm the innocent, take prisoners as much as possible, and not cause too many killings.

Liu Jiang repeatedly assured Li Zhongju that he would definitely do what the commander wanted.

Li Zhongju left Wang Rui and the Red Knife Battalion to guard the town of Yuanfu. He took the Lieshan camp and part of the town military camp out of the town and went north. He wants to personally rescue these helpless "chaotic people".

To the north of Zhenyuan County is Jianhe County, Jianhe County is the largest county in Zhenyuan Prefecture except Zhenyuan County, the current situation in Jianhe County is not very good, due to the large enemy army, the county order can only be defended according to the city, if Liu Baoshan had not transferred the army of the county a few months ago, it would not have been like this.

Li Zhongju led the army to the county seat of Jianhe and watched thousands of peasants attacking the city with various farm tools.

Li Zhongju immediately drove his horse to a place dozens of meters away from these people, and shouted, "Stop it all, stop it." ”

As Li Zhongju shouted hard, everyone stopped, they all looked at Li Zhongju, and some people recognized Li Zhongju as the new governor of Zhenyuan Prefecture.

An old man in his sixties and seventies stood out from the "chaotic people" to stop his subordinates from continuing to attack the city, and walked towards Li Zhongju.

Li Zhongju immediately dismounted, greeted him, and said with a smile, "Uncle, what are you doing here?" ”

The old man stared at Li Zhongju tightly, knelt down and wept, "My lord, you have to make decisions for us, woo...... Half a month ago, there was a flood, a lot of grain was washed away by the flood, and the government forced us to pay taxes. Aren't we headless and headless? ”

Li Zhongju also knew that the flood had indeed caused many people heavy losses, and Li Zhongju also ordered all counties to do their best to help the people rebuild their homes. It can be seen that many places are still not doing very well.

Li Zhongju frowned slightly, "Uncle, please start first, your affairs, Benzhou will do its best to solve it, as long as I have a bite to eat, you will not starve to death." ”

The old man immediately knelt down, kowtowed, and immediately promised, "Please rest assured, the little old man will definitely persuade the villagers to go home and rebuild their homes." ”

Li Zhongju pointed to the crowd to the old man, "Uncle, take me over there to have a look, and I will say a few words to the villagers." ”

Li Zhongju, under the leadership of the old man and the protection of Zhou Tiezhu, came to the crowd.

Li Zhongju first bowed deeply to everyone, and then said with emotion, "Fathers and fellow villagers, it is my Li Zhongju's fault that you have come to this point today, and it is I who did not lead you on the road of prosperity, I apologize to everyone, and at the same time promise you that you will definitely let everyone live a good life." ”

A man in the prime of life cried, "My lord, we were wrong, let's go home." ”

"My lord, let's go home......"

"Lord Li, you are a good official, we believe in Lord Li."

For a while, many people knelt down, and they all believed that Li Zhongju would lead them on a new path.

Li Zhongju took out two thousand taels of silver and gave them to these people, and at the same time took out hundreds of stones of grain and handed them over to them, so that they could use them first, and Li Zhongju would send them more food in the future.

Li Zhongju looked at the Jianhe County Commander who was kneeling on the ground, and sighed, "I hope this is the last time, and if you commit it again, you will not be redeemed for death." ”

The county commander trembled and breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time decided in his heart that he would definitely work harder in the future.

Li Zhongju's army did not enter the city, but continued to advance westward, and whenever he encountered a small group of rebels along the way, Li Zhongju would find a way to appease them.

These rioters were very moved, and they all swore that they would live a stable life under the rule of Lord Zhizhou.

Two days later, Li Zhongju's army came to Shibing County, and seeing that Shibing County had been breached, Li Zhongju inevitably felt some regrets in his heart.

Li Zhongju ordered the army to enter the city, and found that many places in the city were already in chaos, Li Zhongju immediately ordered the army to stop these "rebels" and gather them together.

After a while, Song Naruto told Li Zhongju that the county commander and the officials had all run away.

Li Zhongju just nodded, quietly watching all this, no one knew what Li Zhongju was thinking at this moment.

Li Zhongju looked at the more than 2,000 peasants in front of him, some of them trembling and very scared.

Li Zhongju said lightly, "Fathers and fellow villagers, Li Zhongju in Benzhou will not blame you, you are not guilty, go home, later, Benzhou will send someone to send you some food." ”

"The sky has eyes, thank you, sir." And all the people bowed down and bowed.

Li Zhongju picked up a few old people and let them go home, and the state government will definitely help them solve the follow-up matters.

Li Zhongju sat down in the somewhat dilapidated county office, looking at everything around him, his heart was a little heavy. But Li Zhongju will not be sluggish, he is a strong and enterprising person.

Li Zhongju said to Zhou Tiezhu, "Tiezhu, you arrange people to find out this county order, and at the same time inform the heads of the various places in the Zhenwu Chamber of Commerce and let them pay attention to this county order." ”

Zhou Tiezhu said respectfully, "It's the commander." ”

Zhou Tiezhu also knew that the commander was a little angry, after all, a county order fled without resistance, and the commander felt that this official was a little useless.

Li Zhongju asked people to clean up the county government, after all, as the most honorable place in a county, it still needs some face.

Li Zhongju appointed a literate company commander in the Lieshan Battalion as the county commander of Shibing County, gave him a platoon of people, and asked him to form a system of officials for the county government.

Li Zhongju led the army to Qingxi County, a county south of Zhenyuan County, the largest county in Zhenyuan Province, but the poorest.

Along the way, Li Zhongju found that this "chaotic people" incident had the greatest impact on Qingxi County. There were people starving to death on the road, which Li Zhongju definitely did not expect.

Li Zhongju looked at all this, his heart was full of remorse, if he had paid more attention at that time, he might have saved these dozens of people from disaster.

At the same time, Li Zhongju made it clear for the first time that he wanted to overthrow the Qing court's goal. He looked at the corpses of these people and silently swore that I would never let something like this happen again, the Qing court didn't care about the safety of the Chinese nation, then let me Li Zhongju do my best, fight, and struggle for the Chinese nation!

Li Zhongju shouted at the whole army, "Have you all seen it? This is a member of our Chinese nation, starving to death like this, what are we doing, can't we do our best? ”

Everyone bowed their heads silently.
