Chapter 163: The First Thing to Do in the City
Shi Jin did not send troops to pursue the fleeing Song Dynasty monarchs and magnates, but sent all the soldiers and horses to the city to exterminate the stubborn officers and soldiers, and kill those who took the opportunity to rob and make trouble.
Under the intimidation of a group of uniformly armoured soldiers armed with guns and knives, the city of Tokyo soon calmed down, and the gates were closed again.
In fact, there were not many escapes from the Tokyo Forbidden Army, their families were all in the city, and Liangshan captured the city only to let the officers and soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty disarm and return to the field, and most of the Tokyo Forbidden Army was originally in the city to do other livelihoods, and it was a good thing for them to disarm and return to the field.
However, the generals of the Song Dynasty were unwilling to lose their power, and they did not think that the Song Dynasty would die, so they basically chose to flee.
When Shi Jin entered the city with his own soldiers, some people on both sides of the street had already come out to see the legendary world-famous Nioh.
Under the praise of the Intelligence Department and the people of the rivers and lakes, the people of the world all know that Shi Jin is incomparable in benevolence and righteousness, loves the people like a son, and the Liangshan soldiers and horses are strictly disciplined, and some bold people see that the Liangshan soldiers and horses are only maintaining order after entering the city, so they try to come out, and after finding that the Liangshan soldiers and horses do not drive them, they walk around the streets.
When the other people saw that they could walk around the streets, they dared to come out.
The blockade of Niuhang Street from Xincao Gate to the Imperial Palace by the Liangshan soldiers also made many people guess that King Nioh might be entering the city, and they all gathered around to see the dragon's face.
"Here, here, what a handsome character."
"The man holding the flag in the back is so tall."
I have to say that Yu Baosi will always be the one who steals the spotlight.
Lin Chong, who arranged the defense of Niuhang Street, and Zhu Gui, Dai Zong, and Le He, who had been lurking in the city, all greeted Shi Jin at the city gate and saw Shi Jin come in. and they made a salute together.
Shi Jin jumped off the horse and arched his hand: "I haven't seen you for a long time, the Intelligence Department has made a great contribution this time." ”
Zhu Gui saw that Shi Jinneng dismounted and talked to them at this time. was also very moved, and hurriedly said: "The main thing is that my brother and the military advisor are clever, we just do some coolies." ”
Shi Jin nodded and said, "If you don't act carefully, no matter how good the plan is, it will fail." Then we will talk about the reward for meritorious deeds, can there be casualties in the explosion? ”
Zhu Guidao: "Hundreds of houses were knocked down, and many people were injured, and it is not clear whether there are any deaths." ”
Shi Jin said. He immediately said, "Then let's go over there first." ”
Lin Chong hurriedly said, "Brother, wait a minute, let me transfer troops and horses to escort me." ”
Although the city has been pacified, the Song Dynasty has established its capital here for a hundred years. There are many remnants, and no one will assassinate Shi Jin.
If Shi Jin was assassinated or stabbed at this time, then Liangshan would be the laughing stock of the world.
Shi Jin smiled disapprerovingly: "No need, Lu Fang can just drive in front." ”
Lu Fang hurriedly answered: "Yes." ”
Zhu Gui hurriedly asked Shenxing Taibao Dai Zong to lead Lu Fang and a team of soldiers and horses to the front.
"Why did Nioh go over there?"
"Let's go over there."
The people who were looking forward to it in front saw Shi Jin and his party enter the city. Suddenly turn north. They all followed curiously.
Zhu Gui and others buried tens of thousands of catties of black gunpowder under the outer city and the urn city, and the gunpowder collapsed the city wall, and many houses within dozens of zhang in the urn city were also overturned.
The Liangshan camp was facing Xincaomen, and the soldiers and civilians in the city also thought that Liangshan was going to attack Xincaomen. The residents near the Water Gate were not prepared, and there was an urn city inside the water gate, and the nearest people living in the urn city were more than ten zhang away from the urn city, and it was even farther away from the water gate.
Even if Liangshan attacked the Water Gate, the Urn City would be enough to keep them away from the flames of war. When Liangshan hits the water gate, it will not be too late for them to dodge.
No one expected that Liangshan would blow up the water gate and the urn city at once.
So most of the people in the neighborhood are at home. The house collapsed suddenly, causing a lot of casualties.
When the city was pacified, the people of the vicinity came to their rescue.
Wu Song, who is responsible for the stability of the nearby neighborhood, also led people to save lives nearby.
Wu Song heard Shi Jin coming over and hurriedly greeted him.
The people who helped also stopped outside the warning range of Shi Jin's personal soldiers to watch.
Shi Jin and Wu Song nodded, looking at the houses and injured people who seemed to have been destroyed by the earthquake, as well as the constant references under the ruins, Shi Jin's mood was also very heavy.
He can't say that he can only sacrifice you in order to save more people.
Shi Jin looked at the people around him and said, "Lehe, you are responsible for arranging compensation for these people, and each person who is killed will be compensated with one hundred yuan, and all the injured will be treated by the imperial doctor, and the compensation will be generous according to the injury." All the damage to the house will be rebuilt by us, and each household will be compensated for another 100 yuan. You find a few more inns to arrange for them to stay and eat until the house is built. ”
Le He replied: "Yes, I will do my best to do this." ”
Shi Jin nodded and said, "The compensation money will be sent today." ”
Lehe said: "Yes." ”
Shi Jin turned over and dismounted, and said: "Now everyone is searching and rescuing the people, and we must ensure that all the people who have been suppressed are pressed out one by one." ”
"Yes."
Everyone watched Shi Jin walk towards a collapsed house, and hurriedly responded in unison.
Lu Fang and Guo Sheng also took their own soldiers to help near Shi Jin, and at the same time protected Shi Jin.
When the people saw that the legendary Nioh personally came to save the dead and help the wounded, they couldn't help but praise: "Nioh really loves the people like a son!" ”
When Rakuwa began to register the people whose houses had collapsed and told them about the compensation, the people were full of praise for Nioh.
The people who followed from Niuhang Street saw that Shi Jin did not go straight to the palace that symbolized the Supreme of the Ninety-Five after entering the city, but came to rescue the people, and they were even more moved and came up to help.
With the efforts of the military and civilians, more than 100 collapsed houses were cleaned up.
All the people whose houses were destroyed were arranged to be sent to nearby inns, where food and lodging were taken care of by the imperial court, and the injured were also treated by the imperial doctors.
Lehe also paid gold and silver from the army and compensated the people one by one.
"Thank you, Nioh."
"Nioh loves the people like a son."
"Nioh is much better than the Song Dynasty officials!"
When Shi Jin was about to take the people away, many people who were not seriously injured knelt on the side of the road to thank him.
Although they are also victims, but the war is merciless, how can they ever think that they can still be compensated!
Under the farewell of the soldiers and civilians, Shi Jin came to the palace with his own soldiers.
The palace has been besieged by Liangshan soldiers and horses, and Dong Ping even ordered his subordinates to bring many previously manufactured siege equipment from outside the city, as long as Shi Jin gave an order, he could take the palace.
There were not many guards in the palace, and when Zhao Ji led people up the city wall, most of them were transferred, and when the city was broken, all the guards in the palace were only a few hundred.
Some fled when the situation was not good, and those who were left behind to be loyal closed the palace gates and prepared to defend the palace.
The Liangshan tribes rushed to the outside of the palace and found that they could not attack the palace without siege equipment, and they could only surround the palace first.
Zhu Gui had sent someone to monitor Zhao Ji's whereabouts earlier, and Zhao Ji had not hidden the incident of Zhao Ji leading people to escape from the Intelligence Department, and the people from the Intelligence Department guided Guan Shengbu to pursue for a while, but was stopped by Shi Wengong.
Shi Jin learned that Zhao Ji and the others had fled, so he did not let the various departments attack the palace. (To be continued......)
