Chapter 223: People's Hearts Gain and Loss

"General Song, don't worry. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info" Miao Feng hurriedly explained: "This is the people of Tongque Pass who automatically and spontaneously came to welcome General Song's army into the city. ”

"Welcome our army into the city? How can I be worthy of the people's welcome? Song Qi frowned, tilted his head to look at Miao Feng, and asked coldly: "Is it that you are a plain flying man, a common man, because they hate you, they dare not speak out, so they heard that our army has finally entered the city, so they came to welcome you to express their dissatisfaction with you?" ”

"Wronged!" Miao Feng shook his head like a rattle, spread his hands, and said with a dry smile, "Although I, Miao Feng, have not done anything vigorous, I am also honest and honest, love the people like a son, and have never done anything to bully the people." ”

Yu Man, the chief bookkeeper, took a few steps forward, came to Song Qi's side, and said with a smile: "The people eat pot pulp and greet our army, doesn't it mean that our army is a division of benevolence and righteousness, a division of justice?" Why didn't General Song take advantage of this opportunity to vigorously propagate our army's purpose of loving the people, securing the people, and saving the people? Song Qi glanced at Yu Man, and said in his heart, the people are empty-handed, where is there any pot pulp?

Miao Feng slapped his thigh and said with a smile: "That's right, the people welcome you, which shows that our army is a righteous army!" Why didn't General Song make a few important speeches to our people? ”

Song Qi squinted at Miao Feng. When did you become a member of our army, boy? And even the important speech is known!

Song Qi knew that it was not easy to shirk, so he nodded, thinking quickly in his mind about what to say to the people of Tongque Pass.

Miao Feng urged him to take a few steps forward, waved his hand to the people on the long street, and said loudly: "Fathers and fellow villagers, this general has the honor to invite Song Qi, the young and handsome vanguard general of the Chen Kingdom, to Tongque Pass. Welcome General Song's important speech! ”

"Welcome to General Song!" The people were all smiling, some applauded, some waved, some stomped, and there was thunder for a while.

Song Qi urged to sit down on the war horse and slowly moved a few steps forward, and Miao Feng Diandian, Mao Yong and the others automatically gave way to their positions.

Song Qi raised his hand and waved it vigorously at everyone a few times, and said loudly, "Fathers and villagers of Tongque Pass! I know you're suffering! The emperor is mediocre and tyrannical, traitorous ministers are in charge, the country is uneasy, and the people are not happy. Marshal Jin's father, General Jin Guoan, was a loyal and good man for three generations, and he was actually beheaded by the faint king. A generation of giant businessman Ming Zhu Gong did countless good deeds to the people of the world, but was killed by the Emperor of the Patriotic State! The faint kings and traitorous ministers of Do'an Mansion not only killed the loyal and good, but also preyed on the people. The Emperor already had a vast palace and a lavish mausoleum; The wealth of the family is piled up, and the money is constantly asking for bribes and raising taxes! I know that my fathers and fellow villagers are in dire straits, and they want to cry without tears. Our Chen army is a righteous army. Our purpose is to kill the faint king, get rid of the traitors, and save the people from fire and water. ”

"Good! General Song said it well! There was a sparse round of applause and cheers from the crowd.

However, there was still a suspicious murmur coming from the crowd: "General Song, since ancient times, the winner is king, and the loser is the coward." You just won the war by luck, so we listen to what you say. As for the righteous teachers you mentioned, why didn't we see it. ”

Song Qi looked for prestige and saw that the person who said this was a shriveled and thin old man, wearing a blue homespun cloth shirt with patches on his clothes.

A young man in his twenties next to him chimed in: "Yes, those who win the battle say that they are the teachers of justice. But since ancient times, how many true righteous teachers have been there? ”

Another young man said in a loud voice: "General Song, can you do something that the righteous army should do, let's see?" In that case, we will believe that you are a righteous teacher. ”

Everyone echoed in a mixed manner, and for a while there was a lot of noise and shouting.

Song Qi knows that if you don't give the people some benefits at this moment, people won't believe that you are the righteous teacher you claim.

Song Qi beckoned to Miao Feng, who brought the horse over and leaned over to Song Qi.

Song Qi lowered his voice and asked, "How much grain is left in the granary?" ”

Miao Feng frowned and hurriedly asked, "General Song, what do you want to do?" Do you want ... ”

Song Qi patted Miao Feng on the shoulder, "Didn't you always claim that you love the people like a son?" Besides, when I first enter the city, I always have to give the people some greeting gifts! ”

Miao Feng thought for a while and stretched out three fingers, "There are still 300,000 stones of grain in the city." ”

Song Qi nodded and said decisively: "Take out 100,000 stones and distribute them to the people!" ”

Miao Feng opened his mouth, saw Song Qi's majestic gaze, and quickly closed it again. He said in his heart, "You are so generous." But you are generous to others! It's really a cub who sells Ye Tian and doesn't feel distressed. But after thinking about it, now the family is the master, since he himself chose to surrender in Kaesong, all the property in this city was transferred to Song Qi's name in an instant.

"Fathers and fellow villagers!" Song Qi's gaze swept to the people on the long street again, and he said in an excited voice: "I, Song Qi, don't just keep the words of the righteous teacher in my mouth, but do it in practice. The so-called righteous teacher is nothing more than loving the people, securing the people, and saving the people. First of all, after our army entered the city, Qiu did not commit any crimes! Don't take a stitch from the people! ”

"Good!" There was a noticeable increase in applause than before

"Second, adultery and plunder, our army will never happen!"

"Good!" The applause intensified.

"Third, after our army enters the city, the granary will be opened to put grain, and all the people can receive a hundred catties of rice per head!"

The people were about to applaud ... "Wait!" A loud shout sounded from behind Song Qi, interrupting everyone's applause.

At this time, who else is so ignorant and actually sings against General Song? Miao Feng and all the ordinary soldiers present were very puzzled, and looked for prestige, only to see that it was a little fat man in his thirties wearing an amber silk robe with a red face.

The white horse that the little fat man was sitting on quickly moved in front of Song Qi and said sharply: "General Song, all the cities conquered by our army belong to the marshal. All the granaries in the city must be properly sealed, and they can only be disposed of after the marshal has counted them! You, a pioneer officer, have no right to open a warehouse and release grain without authorization! ”

Song Qi knew who was speaking just by listening to the voice.

He glared at Fu Haowei angrily and asked, "Fu Sima, the pioneer officer doesn't have the right to open a warehouse and release grain without authorization?" What is the basis for this? ”

Fu Haowei said in a heartfelt voice: "Your position as a vanguard officer was appointed by the marshal, and the 20,000 soldiers were also sent by the marshal, so all the cities and achievements conquered by our army belong to the marshal!" That's what I base it on! ”

Song Qi snorted coldly, "Sima Fu, according to what you said, I can't transfer what belongs to the marshal." Okay, you just said that the 20,000 troops were sent by the marshal, and they also belong to the marshal, and according to what you mean, I can't be mobilized either? ”

"This..." Fu Haowei succumbed.

Song Qi glared at Fu Haowei, "What does the marshal want me to do as a vanguard officer?" Is it rare that I was asked to be a guide for 20,000 soldiers? ”

"This..." Fu Haowei raised his hand and wiped his forehead.

Song Qi shook his head and sighed: "Fu Sima, I know, you want to be a responsible and good Sima." But is this how responsibility is negative? ”

Fu Haowei's mouth opened, but he didn't make a sound, and beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.

Song Qi waved his hand into the air vigorously, impassionedly, and said solemnly: "The marshal has always advocated that our army should be a righteous army!" The righteous teacher does not pay lip service, but does what he does! I opened a warehouse to release grain to help the people, just to put into practice the purpose of the righteous division advocated by the marshal! Are you obstructing it in this way against the purpose of the marshal? (To be continued.) )
