Wang Zhaohong respectfully walked into the room and saluted Yu Xi and McClain respectively, "Lord Qiyu, all the four urban districts have been walked, all the streets have been renovated, the propaganda slogans to welcome the errand have also been pasted, and the honor guard has been arranged. ”

"Lord Wang, it's been a busy morning, and it's been hard!" For Wang Zhaohong's courtesy, Yu Xi enjoyed it very much in his heart, Yu Xi worked as a clerk for TG for 20 years, and he was so respectful to leaders of all sizes every day.

Wang Zhaohong connected himself, "It should be, it should be!" ”

Yu Xi waved his hand, "Lord Wang, let's tell the truth." The military management is about to end, and Hsinchu County will be officially listed in the next few days. Do you have any thoughts on your future work? ”

"Everything is at your disposal."

Seeing Wang Zhaohong's servile appearance, McClain was very unhappy, "Wang Zhaohong, you stand up straight and speak to me!" My Daming is the Ming of the whole of China, and what I need is Huaxia Junjie, and I don't need a slave who is only a promise. ”

Wang Zhaohong was frightened and quickly straightened his body.

Yu Xi's brows furrowed slightly, he stood up, walked in front of Wang Zhaohong, and said in a serious tone, "Lord Wang, you have a ** day in your casting, although it was forced at the beginning, but after the work, you are still diligent." You are also a scholar, you should know Yongjiahou Zhu Liangzu. ”

Wang Zhaohong's expression was awe-inspiring, and he bowed down, "If you live, you will do your best, and if you die, you will die!" ”

Wang Zhaohong was born as a prisoner and read a lot. He knew that Zhu Liangzu was originally a general, but he was defeated and captured, and Ming Taizu asked him: "What is it like now?" Liang Zu generously replied: "If you are alive, you will do your best, and if you die, you will die!" Later, Zhu Liangzu made countless military exploits and was named Fengyong Jiahou.

Yu Xi glanced at him approvingly, "You have already written the application for the Huaxia Revival Pioneer Group." Since you are determined to be loyal to Huaxia, you have to throw off the burden of the past, open your heart, get along with us like brothers, and work together to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty and benefit Huaxia. ”

Yu Xi, an old bureaucrat, still has a very good set of people's hearts, and a few words made Wang Zhaohong let go of his knot and cheered up.

Seeing that Wang Zhaohong's complexion had become normal, McClain smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "Lord Wang, I actually scared you last time, and our Daming Wang Shi will never do such an inhumane thing." ”

"It's okay, it's okay!"

Wang Zhaohong smiled bitterly and shook his head, that time really frightened him, and he still has palpitations until now.

"Forget about the past." Yu Xi waved his hand, "The signs of 'Civil Affairs Bureau', 'Finance and Taxation Bureau', 'Culture and Education Bureau', 'Military Bureau', 'Public Security Bureau', and 'Construction Bureau' have been hung out, and the directors of each bureau are all officials of the imperial court. ”

Wang Zhaohong stood up upright, and gave a deep salute, "Let the monarch envoy!" ”

Yu Xi exchanged glances with McClain. Since Wang Zhaohong agreed to such an arrangement, the post arrangement of the Hsinchu County Office has also been settled, and civil affairs is currently the main work of the county office, and it will be concurrently held by himself, with the incoming county Cheng in charge of the Finance and Taxation Section, the Cultural and Education Section by Megumi Tanaka, the Military Section by Luo Zaitian, and the Public Security Section by Kuroda Masaku.

After laughing a few words, Wang Zhaohong asked Yu Xi and McClain tentatively, "Which adult will come to Zhuqian City in the afternoon?" ”

McClain smiled, "It's Lord Tang Huatang who is here, you may be surprised!" ”

Wang Zhaohong was a little suspicious, this criminal department Langzhong is only a fifth-grade official position, what is there to be surprised about.

Yu Xi then added, "Lord Tang is a woman. ”

"Female~son!" Wang Zhaohong almost bit his tongue.

Yu Xi recited a poem given to Qin Liangyu by Emperor Chongzhen, "'Learn the Xichuan Eight Formations, and hold the talisman in the sleeve of the mandarin duck. The origin of women is willing to accept it, why should the general be a husband. In the past, Qin Taibao was a marquis. Our Ming Dynasty has always been meritocracy, regardless of men and women. You have been controlled by the Manchu barbarians for a long time, and you may not be able to accept it, but it doesn't matter, just adapt to it. ”

Qin Taibao Qin Liangyu, the muscles on Wang Zhaohong's face twitched a little. He said in his heart that Qin Liangyu was the lifesaver of the Ming Dynasty during the Chongzhen period, and of course she could be a marquis.

Yu Xi glanced at Wang Zhaohong very carelessly, he asked Wang Zhaohong to organize the gentry in the city, the village representatives of the Daxing Inn, and go to the city gate at noon to participate in the greeting, "The drum music invited, when the time comes, you let Luo Zaitian pay according to the price." In terms of official affairs, the government cannot encroach on the interests of the people. ”

As soon as Yu Xi's words were finished, a melodious military horn sounded in the direction of the guerrilla department of the right camp on the north road outside, and then the majestic "Military Song of the New Ming Army" sounded.

The North Road Guerrilla Department has now become a barracks for the Ming army, and the loudspeakers are powered by bicycle generators, which always sound on time every morning, noon and evening, playing songs and commentaries on the revival of the revolution of Huafu, and transmitting the voice of the Ming Dynasty to the people of Zhuqian City.

When it was time for lunch, Yu Xi, McClain and Wang Zhaohong walked towards the Tamsui Mansion together.

The Tamsui Mansion is separated from the Yamen of the County Office by only one Yaqian Street. The Tamsui Mansion was originally a hall for receiving public servants, but now it has become a Hsinchu County Guest House, which is in charge of Yu Xi's wife Wenjuan.

Wen Juan was originally a caregiver in a welfare home, and her personality was extremely strong. Inadvertently, she found out about her husband's crossing action, so she took her daughter to actively join in.

McClain's troops, Yu Xi's county government preparatory team, and the Yamen's retained personnel all ate at the Tamsui Mansion. Ding Yuejian's family and the family members of the green camp on the right camp of Zhuyan North Road were also placed here.

The list of prisoners and the list of those killed in Taipei's autumn hunt was only counted at the end of last month, and it was just announced in Zhuqian City two days ago. Ding Yuejian's family, as well as the families of those who died in the autumn hunt in Taipei, cried all day long, in order to calm the emotions of these family members, Wang Zhaohong's family member Zheng also participated in the pacification work.

"Madam, death cannot be resurrected. The most important thing is your body, you still have children to take care of! Zheng wiped a handful of tears, "The Ming army is benevolent and righteous, although it is a war between the two countries, and what are the 'three disciplines and eight points of attention', the soft belongings of our family have not been touched at all." ”

Ding Yuejian's wife Chen put her arms around her two-year-old son Ding Chengjie, silently holding back tears, and her ten-year-old eldest daughter Ding Huimin bit her lip and stood behind her mother.

Outside, the loudspeaker was playing the storytelling "The Biography of Yue Fei", and Ding Huimin was absentmindedly listening to Yue Fei's shot picking on King Xiaoliang, while paying attention to her mother's movements.

Chen is less than thirty years old, it is the prime of life, a white flower is inserted on the sideburns, it is even more charming, Zheng can't help but feel a little pity in his heart.

"Let's eat something first!" Zheng persuaded again, "Ming Jun said that Lord Ding's body has been buried in a coffin. In the afternoon, there is a boat going to Monga at Zhuqian Harbor, and you can take a boat to claim it. When they arrived at Monga, the Ming army would also present 20 silver dollars to the ceremony. If you are willing to stay in Tamsui~~"

Chen raised his head suddenly, "No, I'm going to take the two children and send the coffin to the old man's hometown." ”

The Chen family was not willing to stay in this sad place, she calculated, the surplus silver in the family plus the soft sale, there were more than 700 taels of silver in total. There is a Liu Ma by his side, a little maid Mei Xiang, and three servants brought from Wanping's hometown, as long as he is careful on the road, he should be able to return to his hometown in Anhui safely.

"Let's go to Fuzhou City first!"

Ding Huimin glanced at her mother, and said in her heart that this confused mother, Anhui's hometown has been occupied by long-haired Cantonese bandits, how can she go back now! Although Ding Huimin is small, she is very smart, she has known a lot of words since she was a child, read a lot of miscellaneous books, and learned a lot of knowledge from Ding Yuejian. She calculated, seeing that the Ming bandits were so arrogant, the Taiwan government might not be safe. If you want to go, you can only go to Fuzhou City.

Chen listened to Ding Huimin's words and quickly changed his words, "Yes, let's go to Fuzhou City first." ”

In the loudspeaker outside, Liu Lanfang happened to say at this time, "I know what will happen next, please listen to the next decomposition"

Ding Huimin was a pity, if she went to Fuzhou City, she wouldn't have heard such a good story.

Zheng glanced at Ding Huimin in surprise, and said that the girl from the Tongzhi family, who is small and big, is very assertive, and finally saw it today.

After lunch, the Hsinchu County Bureau specially got more than 10 carts and asked the platoon commanders of the garrison, Zhang Yimao and Megumi Tanaka, to lead the team together to send Ding Yuejian's family and the families of the dead personnel of the Green Battalion to Zhuqian Port.

In the morning, Yu Xi gave Tanaka Megumi a task, asking her to take a few female members of the task force to send her family members safely to the landing craft, and then take charge of picking up Tang Hua and them.

After lunch, a long convoy walked out of the bamboo moat city. This is the team escorting Ding Yuejian's family and other families of the dead in the Green Battalion.

The van carriage walked in the head, and there were women and children sitting on it, and there was also a female member of the work team escorting the carriage in each carriage, and all the domestic servants like Ding Yuejian were sitting in the big car at the back. Zhang Yimao walked on both sides of the convoy with two squads of soldiers.

The roads are in disrepair and full of potholes. The wheel of a reed shed carriage knocked a stone and jolted, Ding Chengjie almost flew out of his mother's arms, and he suddenly cried "wow".

Chen was distracted just now, and she hurriedly coaxed, "My baby is good, don't cry." ”

The mother coaxed twice, the child still cried non-stop, and her daughter Ding Huimin, who was sitting next to her, also helped her mother coax, Ding Chengjie still cried unrelentingly.

Chen's eyes suddenly turned red, "Don't make trouble, if you keep making trouble, your mother will cry!" ”

Liu's mother behind her hurriedly hugged Ding Chengjie over and coaxed him.

Seeing Chen's tears dripping down, Megumi Tanaka, who was in charge of escorting the car, advised, "Madam, let's drive some." People can't be resurrected after death, please mourn! ”

Chen glanced at Megumi Tanaka with a little gratitude, and immediately lowered his head again.

During lunch, Megumi Tanaka kept dangling in front of Chen's eyes, saying some reassuring words. However, Chen saw that Megumi Tanaka was also wearing a blue cardigan, with a red armband on her arm, and a belt around her waist, so she was very uncomfortable.

Ding Huimin and the old lady were still coaxing Ding Chengjie, who was crying non-stop, and Megumi Tanaka naturally took out a piece of candy from his pocket and handed it to Ding Chengjie.

"Sugar"

The child burst into tears and laughed, skillfully peeled off the icing of a piece of sugar, and was about to stuff it into his mouth.

Taiwan is a sugar-rich region, and after this Ding Yuejian's little son was born, he often ate this thing.

"Can't eat it!"

Ten-year-old Ding Huimin was anxious, these bandits killed their father, how could the bandits' candy cubes be eaten! She reached out and snatched the candy cube from Ding Chengjie's hand, and threw it directly out of the small window of the carriage.

Ding Chengjie cried even more all of a sudden.
