Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

After reoccupying Feihu County, after a night of harassment, everything in the county has been calmed down, and more than a dozen small people who took the opportunity to make trouble were cut off and hung high in the city as a warning. And order was restored in the city.

Gao Yue, the secretary of the house, sat in the middle hall, although the Gao family was not a local nobleman, but it was a member of the government for generations. In Gao Yue's generation, as the son-in-law of the family, he read less poetry and books, and later studied with a sword, because he was able to speak well, and he was also well-known in Feihu County. His father died of illness and retired early, so he was still studying in the county school, and he entered the yamen early. At present, he is a secretary under the household groove, because of his father's relationship in the county government back then, so he is a strong candidate for the next Liucao.

Now that the sky is bright, the sound of knocking on the door sounds, and the seven or eight members of the Gao family are all trembling. Instead, Gao Yue said calmly: "If you come, you will be safe, open the door." ”

At that moment, Gao Yue changed into the robe of the yamen and stepped forward, and after the gate was opened, two soldiers came to 'invite' Gao Yue to go to the county office. Gao Yue also knew that although he was polite, he could not refuse, so he took a big step at the moment. After arriving at the county office, outside the wing room, there were already ordinary colleagues standing in front of the door, and there were many discussions. They saw Gao Yue and stepped forward together.

"Senior brother, I didn't expect you to come too."

One person said: "I heard that last night the city was broken, and several people in the county were taken down and imprisoned together, and I am afraid that I came here today to investigate the liquidation." ”

Gao Yue said calmly: "Everyone, don't worry, the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, our foundation in this county is comparable to the surname Li." As long as everyone remembers the truth of both prosperity and loss, and advance and retreat together in a group, this surnamed Li does not dare to do anything to us. ”

"Yes, if the one surnamed Li dares to liquidate us, I have already ordered the grain merchants to take the opportunity to strike the market."

"I have also already explained, and asked dozens of party leaders and lieutenant chiefs to jointly sign a guarantee and ask for our lives."

"Exactly, I can get half of the vendors in the market to support us, and we can strike the market."

Gao Yue smiled when he heard this: "So there is nothing to worry about." The crowd laughed.

"Do they say that one wins and one loses?" Li Chongjiu listened to the overheard announcement, sneered, and said, "Do they still think that I am still an official of the Great Sui, and I dare not kill people?" ”

At that moment, Li Chongjiu said: "I wanted to talk to them, but now I don't need to, these people will be detained together, they will not be allowed to eat, and I will pass on my order, if any commercial firm strikes the market, it will be confiscated." ”

Although Li Chongjiu has dealt with it with an iron fist, he actually knows that this can only be cured for a while, but not for a long time, Feihu County can do this for the time being, but if it is promoted to other counties, it will not be. As we all know, since the Qin Dynasty, the county system was finally implemented, and the core of the county system was to change the feudal degree of the Zhou Dynasty and govern the local government with central officials. In the Sui Dynasty, the power of the county and county officials to be requisitioned was transferred from the body of the assassin Shi and Taishou to the imperial court, which further strengthened the central government's control over the local government, but even so, the power of the imperial court to control the local area was only at the county level.

For the control of the county level and below, the Sui is to educate the three elders in charge, to the chief, and the party chief to level by level. In ancient times, communications were backward, transportation was inconvenient, and the Chinese pursued the creed that old and death do not come and go, and most of the people in one village and one township in the local area have never left the village in their lives to see the outside world. At present, Li Chongjiu has the power to control a county, to put it bluntly, it is just a county seat, but if you want to really integrate the forces, you still need to rely on these local snakes. It is not only necessary for local forces to cooperate, but more importantly, the current Great Sui is Zhengshuo, although the people hate Yang Guang to the core, but what about the local family officials, Li Chongjiu is a thief in the eyes of everyone.

Just as Li Chongjiu was thinking about this, he suddenly received an urgent military situation.

It turned out that after Liu Wuzhou killed Wang Rengong and occupied Mayi County, he opened a warehouse to help the poor, galloped into the territory, won more than 10,000 troops, and called himself the Taishou of Mayi. This Liu Wuzhou was originally a local tyrant from Mayi, and he had been supported by the heroes in Mayi County before the incident, and after killing Wang Rengong, he took the opportunity to open a warehouse to help the victims to win people's hearts, and now Mayi County is completely under his control. At present, Li Yuan is fighting with Wang Xuba in Taiyuan County, and Wei Dao'er's hundreds of thousands of rogues have no time to quell the rebellion, so they ordered Chen Xiaoyi and Hu Benlang to lead Wang Zhibi from Yanmen to quell the rebellion.

At the moment, Liu Wuzhou led the army to meet the battle, and in the early stage of the fierce battle between the two armies, Liu Wuzhou was at a disadvantage and was besieged in the town of Sangqian in Mayi. Who knew that he turned to the Turks at this time, and Shibi Khan dispatched Turkic iron cavalry to help Liu Wuzhou defeat Chen Xiaoyi and Wang Zhibian. Liu Wuzhou took this opportunity to raise troops in less than a month, that is, annexed Loufan County, and sent troops to Yanmen County. If Yanmen County is lost, Li Chongjiu's road from Huaihuang Town to Feihu County will be interrupted, so he can't sit idly by. However, at present, Feihu County has not really been subdued, and Li Chongjiu has not been able to send troops to compete with Liu Wuzhou for Yanmen County.

Li Chongjiu, Li Hu, Su Su, Sun Erniang, Zhao Wansan, Gao Chu and others discussed the next countermeasures.

Su Suyan said: "At present, the people are not convinced, because the name is not right, and the people do not know whether we are bandits or officials, so they are suspicious of us. ”

Gao Chu listened to the words and said: "Prince, it's better to be called the king, Wang Xuba is no more than a rogue, and he also calls himself the king of Mantian, and claims to be the name of the country Yan, with the qualifications of the prince is far better than Wang Suba, why be willing to follow." ”

Li Huyan said: "Calling himself the king, isn't it officially against the imperial court? Our county is full of officers and soldiers on all sides, and if you are king, will it not give people a pretext for attacking? ”

Zhao Wansan said: "We have already rebelled against the imperial court, rather than hiding it, it is better to provoke the banner and formally cut off one side, we call the king the emperor, and we can also formally show our ambitions to the Quartet, so that the heroes of the Quartet who are interested in the world will be attached." ”

Li Chongjiu's eyes were raised, and he saw that Zhao Wansan's eyes were shining, obviously an ambitious person. It is not impossible to call the king the emperor, and later generations have the words of slow calling the king and hoarding grain, but the king can indeed condense the internal morale in the early stage, and show his ambition to the Quartet, so that the heroes will vote, but the disadvantage is that they will be feared by the same forces around them. If Li Chongjiu wants to stand on his own feet from the Great Sui now, it is indeed a good way to become the king.

"If the strength is insufficient, then you can't trespass, so in vain to take trouble, you see those who suddenly called the king and the emperor are just a flash in the pan, a few people can support the most, with our three towns of soldiers, but thousands, the people are not tens of thousands, to call the king the strength is not enough to match, it is better to take the whole county of Shanggu and then make a decision, step by step steady and steady." It was Su Su who spoke out.
