Along the way, Li Baihu said a lot of good things for Cheng Qing in front of Lang Qianhu.

Lang Qianhu will be skeptical.

The champion of the sixth yuan and the first is very powerful, but Cheng Qing is not very old, and he is a genius in the scientific examination, which does not mean that he knows about general affairs.

Li Baihu ran to a thousand households, and when he returned, he might have to rescue Cheng Bachelor who was in trouble.

Lang Qianhu came to Hongxian with suspicion of Cheng Qing, and some of the homeless people who had changed their clothes were entering the city.

Everything was in order, and Hongxian County did not fall into chaos in Cheng Qing's hands.

On the contrary, the homeless people were honest, very cooperative with Feng Dianshi and the officials, and did whatever they wanted, without the slightest complaint.

Lang Qianhu was secretly surprised.

The two rode horses and ran around Hongxian, both in a heavy mood.

The city wall of Hongxian County has fallen into disrepair for a long time and has collapsed in several places.

Now not only Cheng Qing wants to scold, but even Lang Qianhu wants to beat the magistrate of Hongxian County.

I really don't have any sense of distress!

The rebellion of the scarf thieves is not unique to this month.

Although Hongxian does not belong to the Huainan region, it is relatively close to Huainan, if the county governor of Hongxian County has a sense of distress, he should take advantage of the fact that the scarf thief has not yet called the people to repair the collapsed city wall, if there is spare strength, and then the city wall will be strengthened and heightened, the current city wall of Hongxian County, the highest point is only more than two zhang high, that is, the city gate here.

At the lowest point, it is less than two feet.

At such a height, how to resist the attack of the scarf thief?

The magistrate of Hongxian County has neither the ability to settle the displaced people outside the city, nor the sense of worry-free, so he only cares about being a turtle with a shrunken head...... An official, you can't simply evaluate it by being greedy or not, if Cheng Qing says that a Qing official who doesn't know how to do general affairs is in his position and doesn't do anything, then it's really a blunt knife to cut meat, which makes people have a headache!

"Master Cheng, this city wall can't be defended, it can't be defended."

Although Lang Qianhu felt that Cheng Qing was more capable than he thought, but after looking at the actual situation, Lang Qianhu was more discouraged.

That's all there is to Hongxian's troops.

A thousand households have a thousand soldiers.

Cheng Qing brought Hongxian soldiers and guards, and there were more than 300 people.

There are nearly 1,000 people in Hongxian County.

Lang Qianhu estimated that the guard could make up another 500 soldiers in addition to the rated soldiers, and the total was less than 3,000 people!

With such a small person, how to face the 50,000 army of the scarf thief?

Lang Qianhu retreated.

Cheng Qing pointed to the homeless people who were entering the city, "Why can't you hold it?" In addition to the regular soldiers, as well as these people, we can also recruit additional soldiers in Hongxian County, the big families in the county, who don't support healthy servants, and their lips and teeth are cold, it's time for them to contribute! ”

Lang Qianhu was right to think about it.

The scarf thief hasn't come yet, and Hongxian still has time to prepare.

If there are not enough soldiers, they will be recruited.

Naturally, the conscripted soldiers had to be supported by the squires and wealthy families at the expense of food.

The first thing the scarf thief did to break through Hongxian County was to kill officials and rich households, everyone was a grasshopper on a rope, and they wanted to hide at home and wait for Cheng Qing to help protect them, dreaming!

It is heart-wrenching to give money and food, but it is impossible for Cheng Qing to squeeze out all the squires and rich households, it is better than falling into the hands of the scarf thief.

The more Lang Qianhu thought about it, the more he became: "My lord, there are many squires and landlords who live in the countryside, you see-"

Cheng Qing was serious, "Then it depends on whether the squires spare their lives, and the official is willing to protect them and give them two days to transfer their wealth and family members to the county seat." ”

Entering the city costs money to buy roads.

Cheng Qing asked Feng Dianshi to send officials to various villages in Hongxian County to inform the news that the scarf thieves were coming, and she estimated that at least two days would be relatively safe, and the villagers could hide if they got the news in advance, and they didn't have to face the looting of the scarf thieves.

There will definitely be some loss of property, and it is better to save your life than anything else.

If the villagers have relatives and friends in the county, Cheng Qing welcomes them to come and defect, and Cheng Qing is even happier if they have more strong men.

If there are no relatives and friends to run to in the county, you have to settle down on your own, the door of Hongxian County is open to the villagers, but Cheng Qing can't eat and live for so many people!

At the same time, Cheng Qing also had to send people to repair the city wall of Hongxian County.

She didn't have to worry about manpower, and the more than 2,000 people of the grain transportation team were also idle, and they were sent to repair and strengthen the city wall.

"It's easy to handle manpower, how can adults solve the materials for repairing the city wall?"

Lang Qianhu felt that it was too late to open a kiln to burn bricks.

Cheng Qing is more optimistic: "The bricks for building the city wall are also easy to do, and their own squires and wealthy families will donate." ”

Which squire's house will pile up many bricks, unless...... Isn't it, Lord Cheng is not very old, and he is so good at doing things?

Lang Qianhu's question, Cheng Qing has answered, between the questions and answers, Lang Qianhu's heart has slowly settled, as long as the strength of the scarf thief does not exceed 10,000, there is still a great hope of holding Hongxian.

There is only one possibility for the turban thief to come to Hongxian County, it is that the scarf thief was defeated in Huai'an City and fled back to his hometown Huainan, passing through Hongxian County to loot supplies.

Since it is a way, it will not stay for too long, Hongxian can hold it for a day or two, and the scarf thief will not be able to attack it for a long time, so he will naturally give up!

Waiting for Cheng Qing to "introduce" Rong Jiu, who was tied up on the city wall, to Lang Qianhu, Lang Qianhu was even more impressed by Cheng Qing.

It's amazing.

Governor Shi's relatives dared to take him hostage, no wonder Lord Cheng restrained the magistrate of Hongxian County as soon as he arrived in Hongxian.

Master Cheng really dares to think and do......

Lang Qianhu tried not to look at Young Master Rongjiu's embarrassment.

In order to persuade Lang Qianhu, Cheng Qing also focused on how much Young Master Rong Jiu's sister was valued in the Governor's Mansion, but if Governor Shi could free his hands, he would definitely save Rong Jiu.

Rong Jiu's eyes looked like they were going to swallow Cheng Qing alive.

Cheng Qing is not afraid of him.

In order to be afraid that Rong Jiu would escape, he ordered someone to tie a few more ropes to Rong Jiu, and there was no need to treat Rong Jiu preferentially, as long as he occasionally gave some food to ensure that Rong Jiu would not die of hunger!

……

Under Cheng Qing's arrangement, the people of Hongxian County were informed of the news that the scarf thief was coming, and the people were naturally panicked, but Cheng Qing had already prepared, and several riots were suppressed.

Some wealthy families panicked and wanted to escape with their families and important belongings before the scarf thieves arrived in Hongxian.

I don't believe that Cheng Qing can defend Hongxian!

For those who don't believe in themselves, Cheng Qing doesn't persuade them.

People who leave Hongxian may collide head-on with the scarf thief, or they may not meet the scarf thief and escape smoothly.

It's a personal choice, life and death depend on your fate!

Cheng Qing let the rich family out of the city, turned around and asked people to tear down the rich families who had escaped, and all the bricks removed were used to repair the collapsed city wall...... Cheng Qing's approach was simple and rude, everyone fled, the house was temporarily empty, and no one lived in it anyway, even if it was donated to defend the city.

If Hongxian County is breached, the big houses of the rich families will not be able to stand it, and after the war, they will be in ruins, and they will give up their houses and flee, and they will come back to see that the houses are gone, they should be able to accept it, right?

If you don't accept it, there is no way, Cheng Qing has already left Hongxian at that time.

Those who fled were unwilling to believe Cheng Qing, and this kind of person was not willing to pay money and food to defend the city, and Cheng Qing had no pressure at all to demolish the other party's house.

This move shocked the rich families in the city, Lord Cheng was handsome, but the road was so wild, that the squires and wealthy families took the initiative to ask Feng Dianshi to pledge.

In two days, many villagers poured in from Hongxian County, and also sheltered all the displaced people outside the city, and also repaired the originally collapsed city wall, so many mouths pointed at Cheng Qing to eat, and the 20,000 stone relief food in Cheng Qing's hand not only did not decrease, but increased a lot.

The magistrate of Hongxian County cried when he learned of this.

It's not that he doesn't want to repair the city wall, it's that he can't come up with the money.

…… Who knew that repairing the city wall not only did not cost money, but also made a lot of money?!
