Chapter 0157 Recruitment
Since more than 100,000 people in the inner city were forced to change their clothes, the people of the capital city also began to change their clothes under the supervision of Li Beicai and Zheng Hejing.
At the same time as the large-scale change of clothes, Li Beicai and Zheng Hejing's long-planned propaganda also operated, almost at the same time as people put on new clothes, all kinds of allegro, cross talk, storytelling, and folk arts such as two-person turning and bangzi were fully utilized, preaching the old things of decades ago to the people of the whole capital city.
Of course, according to the convention of the story, the cruelty of the emperor was also greatly exaggerated and distorted.
Taking this opportunity, Li Moyi also washed away the name of the thief who attacked the palace at night some time ago, according to the seized information, most of these noble families in the palace had personally planned and participated in several massacres more than ten years ago, and it can be said that all of them were murderers.........
It stands to reason that Li Moyi, as a pawn of the rebel team, attacked the capital city and the palace, which was naturally a big rebellion in the ordinary view, and it was an unforgivable crime to punish the emperor, but as soon as those stories came out, the emperor became a prisoner and bandit in the mouth of the people, and there were naturally no rules to talk about these bandits......... This matter is settled.
………
………
Although this event was a great success, Li Moyi didn't know anything about it, because since the news of the fall of the capital city came out, although the governors of all over the country were shocked, they also quickly entered a state of emergency, and the clouds of war immediately enveloped the entire foreign country, so all kinds of news spread relatively late except for the big events at the sensational point.
At this time, Li Mo found that there was a major flaw in his overall plan, that is, the intelligence work had not been taken seriously by anyone.
This matter can be said to be a big joke no matter when it comes, Li Moyi suddenly found that he was now in a very embarrassing situation, as a supreme commander, he had obtained the same amount of information as Xiao Er of Yuelai Inn at the east gate of the capital city.
When Li Moyi had a headache in the study, the captain of the personal guard pushed the door and walked in, the expression on his face seemed to be a little strange.
"Your Excellency!!" The second stunned hesitated slightly, "My lord, you have a friend at sea to visit........."
Li Mo was stunned one by one, and looked at the two stunned with disgusted eyes, this guy is really uninformed, he will pass on any random guy, although he is not a great deal now, but he doesn't have much time to meet those inexplicable people.
"My lord, it was the pirate and the town general who brought them here........."
"Oh, who are they?" Li Mo frowned and said helplessly.
"It seems that one is called Zheng Jin, and the other is called Zhenqi........." The second stunned man touched his head and said with a smirk.
"Ah.........?"
Li Mo was stunned for a while, looked at it in a daze for a long time, and suddenly remembered that Zhen Shiyang had told him that Zheng Jin seemed to be the president of the sea realm, and he was also the helmsman of the Northern Country Bandit Gang.........
Immediately reacted, he hurriedly stood up, just walked to the door of the study, suddenly froze, turned his head and solemnly admonished, "Erlengzi, haven't we recruited a lot of good players in the capital city?" Wait a minute, if you want them to put on a good posture, President Zheng is not joking........."
……………
……………
Li Moyi stood in the hall and looked at the guests in a daze for a long time, before he asked hesitantly, "You......... Could it be that Your Excellency is Mr. Zheng Jin? ”
The old man opposite him was quite barren in appearance, full of sad wrinkles, the gray hair on his head was scattered almost clearly, his body was short and thin, as if a gust of wind could blow him away, and he was wearing a set of standard coarse cloth clothes for the toiling masses, and at first glance he looked like Uncle Wang who sold baked cakes on the other side of the street. This appearance really scared Li Moyi so hard that he looked at him impolitely for a long time.
"In the coastal governor of Xiayanping Town, Zheng Yonghua, I have met General Li!!" A smile flashed in the old man's eyes, and he bowed his hand, although his image was not good, his words and deeds were neither humble nor arrogant.
Li Mo swallowed hard and asked tentatively, "Then Mr. Zheng Jin......... Who's it? ”
"Hehe, that's the name of walking around the four seas, but it makes the general laugh!!"
It's really incredible, I can't imagine that this Zheng Jin is like this.........
The so-called famous is not as good as meeting, and the old saying is honest and does not deceive me.
Li Moyi imagined that this Zheng Jin should at least be able to see it even if he was not a handsome guy, but now no matter how he looks at it, he looks like an uncle who sells baked cakes in a certain realm, Li Moyi's mood dropped slightly, and he waved his hand, "That......... Mr. Zheng, please take a seat........."
Zheng Jin bowed deeply, "General Li led the master to strangle the emperor of the capital city in one fell swoop, except for the scourge of our thousands of people, and even made foreign countries prosperous, and thanked the people of the world for the next ........."
"Oh?" Li Moyi touched his head suspiciously, "It's just a scourge for thousands of people, so what's the prosperity of a foreign country......... It doesn't seem to have anything to do with me, does it? ……… Uh, this Mr. Zheng, don't you bow and bow again, aren't you tired at such an age? Sit down and talk, sit down and talk. ”
Seeing Zheng Jin sit down, Li Mo smiled and asked, "Mr. Zheng is not on an errand on the sea, what are you doing in the capital city?" You didn't come to see me, did you? ”
Zheng Jin smiled and said, "The general is a brave and righteous man, and he doesn't dare to hide it, this trip to the mainland is to find out the situation of my Wang Shi and contact heroes from all sides to discuss important matters......... Unexpectedly, halfway through, he heard that the general had already done such a great thing, so he made a special trip to ask for advice.........
"Oh, I see, by the way, I heard that there is a bandit gang on the northern border, and you are still the chief helmsman of that bandit gang, and you are a big name in the four seas........." Li Mo glanced at the pirates nearby, and said with a smile, "I have admired the name for a long time!" ”
"Don't hide it from the general, the bandit gang was founded by the Yuan family, and it is dedicated to spying on intelligence in various parts of the northern country for our team, I take the responsibility of this helm, and I dare not do my best........." Zheng Jin looked at Li Moyi strangely, this matter is actually not a secret, it can be said that most of the errands in the palace know that he returned to a foreign country this time, in addition to collecting intelligence, another purpose is to supervise and rectify the bandit gang, and by the way, supplement the funds for the next step.
Only then did Li Moyi completely understand......... This Zheng Jin turned out to be the leader of the Yuan family's team, specializing in investigation work, no wonder he looked like this, and it was the most suitable for stealing things.
Thinking of this, he smiled bitterly and said, "Since we are all friends from all over the world, then let's not be polite, open the skylight and say bright words, what is the matter with Mr. Zheng looking for me this time?" ”
"I'm here for the general's future!!"
This seemed to be very familiar, Li Moyi suddenly remembered that it seemed that similar scenes often appeared in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", he pouted, "Didn't Mr. Zheng persuade me to join the Yuan family?" ”
Zheng Jin's face changed, he stood up and arched his hand to the south, and said solemnly, "Why did the general say this?" As the so-called whole world, it is ........."
"Come on, you're ........." Li Mo grinned, and playfully played a sentence of the film he had just heard, "I don't know the Yuan family well, and I didn't have much contact with it before, to be honest, there are few emperors in the world who I can look at, so what......... I have no intention of joining other forces........."
"The righteous people in the world are all in the heart of the Yuan family, and those who generously stand up all call themselves the 'Yuan family team', which is the desire of the people, since the general wants to rebel, why not belong to the Yuan family?" Looking at Li Mo's arrogant appearance, Zheng Jin was a little angry, he adjusted his tone and persuaded patiently.
"Who said that rebellion must belong to the Yuan family? It seems like you bandits are helping you to do this, right? Li Moyi said disdainfully, "Mr. Zheng, Mr. Zheng, you can just wade into the troubled waters yourself, why do you still drag others down?" ”
Zheng Jin was so angry that he trembled all over, and he almost brushed his sleeves away, but Li Moyi was not in a hurry, turned his head and said to the pirates, "Zhen Shiyang, isn't there still a Zhenqi?" Where are the people? ”
The pirate glanced at Zheng Jin apologetically, stood up and replied, "My lord, Mr. Zhenqi and Mr. Zheng seem to be a little incompatible, it seems that it is the 'Yuan Family Team' or something, Mr. Zhen did not come in with Mr. Zheng, and is drinking tea in the side hall right now.........
Li Mo was stunned, it turned out that he was fighting in the nest again, and looked up at Zheng Jin, at this time he had stabilized his emotions, the two looked at each other, Zheng Jin said in a deep voice, "Since the general is unwilling to go back to the Yuan family, he can't be reluctant to do so, but I still hope that your team can form an alliance with my Yuan family team and fight against the .........enemy together."
Li Moyi felt a little strange, at this time, the situation in a foreign country was turbulent, the Yuan family should be competing with various forces on the sea, how could they still have the energy to take care of the capital city, he asked suspiciously, "Ally with me?" It doesn't feel like we're doing each other any good........."
Zheng Jin's face turned red, and he whispered, "It's not a secret, the brigades of foreign forces have gone crazy recently, and our bandit gangs have suffered heavy losses in the halls of various places, and I hope that the general will be in the same rebellious line, and take care of .........."
"So what's in it for me?" Li Mo smiled and said, "For such a big thing as forming an alliance, you, Mr. Zheng, are you the chief helmsman, have you done it all?" ”
"General rest assured, I, Zheng someone, can still speak in front of Master Yuan, not to mention that this matter is harmless to you and me, Master Yuan will definitely give in......... As for the benefits......... If the general agrees, my brother here from the bandit gang is also willing to inquire about the general's situation........."
Win-win cooperation seems to be good.
Li Mo thought about it for a long time, and felt that this matter didn't seem to be a loss, he laughed and acted like a righteous cloud, "Mr. Zheng, don't be angry, in fact, my brother was joking just now......... Mr. Zheng can rest assured, as long as the brother of the bandit gang enters our territory, I will protect his life without worry........."
At this point, it seems that there is nothing more to talk about, and the first diplomatic activity of the Mochen Brigade and the Yuan Family Team is over.
Originally, Zheng Jin didn't have any diplomatic mission to come over this time, and this event was just a tentative contact by the way, although I felt that Li Moyi's attitude towards the Yuan family team was not very friendly, but in terms of the negotiation results, it was still satisfactory, at least for the Yuan family team to obtain a legal foothold in the capital city.
In fact, before consulting with Master Yuan, Zheng Jin did not have the right to conduct further negotiations, after all, Li Moyi's side was still an emerging force, and it was still unknown whether he could survive the encirclement of hostile forces, and many situations needed to be further observed.
However, from the point of view of the position of rebellion, Zheng Jin is also willing to provide some intelligence help to the Mochen Brigade within his ability, after all, it can confuse and weaken the combat potential of the other brigades, and it will also have many benefits for the Yuan team's team operations to unify foreign countries.
After sending Zheng Jin away, Li Moyi immediately met with Zhen Qi.
…………
…………
Compared with Zheng Jin, the old man, this Zhenqi's appearance is much better, his appearance is not handsome, but he also looks at the past for the time being, he seems to be very cultivated between his gestures, and he looks very angry in his faint smile, and the first impression is quite good.
The only drawback is that this person doesn't seem to have much respect for Li Mo, and he didn't bow down or bow his hand in the face of Li Mo for a while, but just nodded his chin slightly, signaling that he had saluted.
Looking at him like this, Li Moyi thought it was very interesting.
Because according to the report of the pirates, this guy is just the leader of the fine group, although the fine group is a large gang and is very famous in the four seas, but in terms of status, it is naturally not the same as a prince like Li Moyi, seeing his arrogant appearance, Li Mo didn't say anything, but the soldiers next to him couldn't help but snort at the same time.
With a bang, Zhen Qi flicked the folding fan.
He sat down on the chair and chuckled, "General Li, can't you control your subordinates?" ”
"It's okay, it's okay," Seeing his pretentious tone, Li Moyi couldn't help but burst out laughing, he didn't pick up his stubble, turned his head and greeted his relatives and said, "Don't stand stupidly, come here, serve tea to Mr. Zhen........."
The two were polite for a while, and Li Moyi learned a lesson this time, and made up his mind not to talk about substantive issues first.
Zhen Qi wanted to get around the topic several times, Li Mo took care of the left and right, and pushed back and forth with Tai Chi, when Zhen Qi finally couldn't bear it after changing the tea four times, and took the lead in saying, "General Li is really bold, someone in the town has been in the door for so long and didn't even ask me about my intentions........."
"Don't dare to be bold, I'm just hospitable, if you have anything you want to say, you can say it, and if you don't want to say it, I will never .........force it."
After a pause, Li Mochen continued, "......... Anyway, now drink tea, let's eat when it's time, and if you're willing to spend the night at my place, I'll prepare a guest room......... My friend at sea, I have never been bad!! Li Mo picked up the teacup, took a shallow sip, and said unhurriedly.
Zhen Qi was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Li Moyi to say such a thing, where is this like a general, just like a street gangster, he smiled bitterly, put away the folding fan, and his face was solemn, "Since General Li is so bold, then I will be straightforward,"
He stood up, "Zhenqi is just another name for me walking on the rivers and lakes, and my real name is actually called Zhen-Zi-Jiong!" "One word at a time, and the last three words bite very hard.
"Oh?" Li Mo was slightly stunned, and then said with a hearty smile, "That's Mr. Zhen, I'm glad to be there......... Don't know what you'd like to eat for dinner? I'll call the kitchen master here to prepare. ”
Zhen Qi was stunned for a moment, his anger surged upward, and his long white face turned purple in an instant, and it took a while to ease up, he tried to stabilize his voice, and said slowly, "I am the third prince of Zhen!" ”
Li Moyi frowned, and said suspiciously, "Third Prince Zhen?? Which town is the third prince? ”
“……… Former Emperor ......... That is, the emperor who was on the throne......... The third prince of the emperor!! Zhen Qi tried his best to suppress his anger and calm his voice.
"Ah......... That's really......... It's an honor!! Li Mo exclaimed in surprise, and then comforted, "Don't be nervous, no one in the capital city dares to do anything to you now!" ”
"This ......... General Li, I wonder if you have your heart set on the throne? Even if Zhen Qi's reaction was sluggish, at this time, he could see that Li Moyi was entertaining him, but since the words had been said on this, it seemed that it was useless to play falsely, so it was better to tell the truth.
"Mr. Zhen, it seems that you came here to persuade me to serve you this time, right? Mr. Zheng Jin was the same just now," Li Mo smiled, and said with a straight face, "But people still have a large team in the territory, and it seems that there is still a bit of a spectrum in the past, but it is much stronger than you........."
"They? ……… How can a thief who rebels against power be compared to me? Zhen Qi slapped the tea table, angry.
Li Mo smiled and didn't say anything, this guy seems to be a little sick, he has to rely on strength to speak these years, and it's just a matter of an empty emperor to deceive fools, how can he even dare to fight his idea?
"General Li, let me tell you the truth, since the martyrdom of the former emperor and the seizure of the throne by thieves, I have been dormant among the people, creating a fine group, after many years, fortunately the ancestors and ancestors have been looking down, and now there are 100,000 congregations, scattered in foreign countries, northern countries and other places all over the world, loyal and righteous people carry a lot of volume, not I boast, as long as I raise my arms and shout........."
"Ahem......... Cough......... Mr. Zhen seems to have called out, right? ……… Then why don't you raise your pawn and attack the palace in a big way........." Li Mo interrupted his tirade and suddenly asked.
"This is the ......... This matter should be considered in the long run........." In a hurry, Zhenqi looked a little embarrassed, and his face was red.
"I also know these things, and the name of the fine work group in various places is indeed good......... Mr. Zhen, you are also a character, let's be real......... What are you looking for me? ”
Zhen Qi took a deep breath, stood up and solemnly arched his hand to Li Mo, "If the current situation is chaotic today, and the pawn starts from all directions, if the general is still a wise person, please also help me to the door of orthodoxy, if the general can lead the team to be loyal to me, when the forces of all parties are swept away and the country is restored, the position of the generalissimo of the world is none other than the general!" ”
Li Moyi looked at this Zhenqi with a strange look, and he was uncomfortable, after listening to his words, Li Moyi was already 90% sure that this guy was an imposter.........
It is hard to imagine that an orthodox educated emperor would throw out such a special term for a storyteller in such a serious negotiation, he shook his head and said with a wry smile, "Am I a sensible person, when did I get involved with Guishun you?" ”
“……… You mean, if I don't help you, then I'm not a sensible person? ……… This is strange, brother, I have grown up so big, I have never borrowed money from the town family, and I don't owe the town family favors, why do any random guys tell me that I have to mix with this surname town? ”
Seeing that Zhen Qi's face was full of anger, as if he was about to stand up, Li Mo raised his hand and motioned for him to sit down.
"Mr. Zhen, don't get angry, I'm telling the truth here, if you don't like to listen to it, I can't help it, just tell you......... Our brothers fought for their lives, and finally laid down such a little bit of territory, which will never be handed over casually, our future and life have to be decided by our brothers themselves, no one wants to come and pick peaches under any name, don't say anything orthodox or unorthodox, and neither can Tianwang Laozi!! Li Moyi smiled as he spoke, looking at the pirates and the group of guards next to him.
"Yes, my lord is right!!" The pirate immediately stood up and said angrily, "Let's do our own business, no one should think of coming over and taking advantage of it in vain!" As he spoke, he looked left and right, and the guards in the hall also looked excited, nodding their heads.
Zhen Qi couldn't hold back and stood up angrily.
Although he had expected this result, he didn't expect this Li Mo to speak so directly, without saving face at all, he looked at Li Mo fiercely for a long time, and squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth, "Hmph, I thought that the general ordered Yi to obey, and he was a man who was wise and loyal, but he didn't expect it to be a wolf's ambition........."
"Whoosh-"
There was a chorus in the hall.
Without waiting for Li Mo to give an order, several nearby guards pulled out their waist knives at the same time, glaring angrily at Zhen Qi, Li Mo sat on the chair without moving, and waved his hand gently, "Don't be nervous, don't be nervous, put this person back......... I really don't understand the rules, when people talk about it, we will use knives, and don't we make others laugh when they spread it? ”
Li Mochen turned his head and said to Zhen Qi with a pleasant face, "I said Lao Zhen, you have been messing around in the Four Realms Sea for so long, why are you still so impulsive?" Say this kind of nonsense with less oil and no salt, come on, sit down, sit down, and talk slowly........."
Seeing that Li Moyi was actually not angry, Zhen Qi couldn't help but be slightly stunned, sat down, and said with a sneer in his mouth, "Since General Li refuses to assist orthodoxy, the so-called Tao is different and does not conspire with each other, what else do we have to say?" ”
"How can there be no words? Although I don't want to work for you, aren't we all sweeping away the forces now? There should be many opportunities for cooperation on the so-called united front........."
Li Mo said with a smile, and with a wave of his hand, the attendants next to him retreated except for the stunned ones, "Brother Zhen, you want to revive orthodoxy, this ......... I don't have any opinions on ambitions, but I have to give you a sincere statement: the so-called own country, relying on people will eventually rely on their own ........."
Zhen Qi frowned, this was indeed very sincere, and it was very uncomfortable to hear, but this time he endured it and said patiently, "What the general said is extremely true, just ......... Just......... Zhen recklessly ........."
"That brother is here to tell you about the general trend of the world........." Li Moyi stood up, turned his head to the pirate and the second stunned man and said, "You two look around, the idle people will go farther, and I will talk to Mr. Zhen about something serious........."
Seeing that Li Moyi was so solemn, Zhen Qi also came to the spirit, and waited for the two of them to be on guard outside the door.
Li Mo opened his mouth and said, "You have also seen that the former emperor is gone, and now there is chaos in all directions, Mr. Zhen, don't you have 100,000 congregations in your hands?" This one......... I don't need to remind you of this, right? ”
Zhen Qi thought for a while, suddenly gritted his teeth, as if he had made some decision, and said categorically, "I can't hide it, the day we will do it in detail will be in the near future......... This time I came to see the general, just to ......... This is a big ......... to discuss together"
“……… I already know what you want to do, here I will talk ahead, if you want to pull a team in the capital city and on my territory, it is absolutely not allowed," Li Mo smiled and said, "If you must go your own way, then don't blame me for fighting with my sword and sword........."
Zhen Qi glared at him fiercely, Li Mo was not cowardly, he looked at him coldly, and was silent for a long time, Zhen Qi looked away, and said dejectedly, "......... General Wang said bluntly........."
"I know that you have put a lot of effort into the capital city, and I am afraid that even in my new pawn brigade, you have secretly arranged a lot of people, right? But the so-called time is also fate, this time I took the lead, and there is no way to do it........." Li Mo smiled and said, "The reason why I am open to you now is that I don't want our Mochen Brigade to fight with you, so that all parties can see the jokes........."
Zhen Qi smiled wryly and said, "So what? The general won't let me do anything, so what else can I do? ”
Li Mo Yiqi said, "How can there be no way? Isn't there a hall in a foreign country? What does it matter if you don't do anything in the capital city? You can go anywhere else, now that the various governors in various places are a little confused for the time being, and my side has attracted all their attention, isn't this better than the opportunity to be in the capital city? ”
Zhen Qi frowned and said, "But......... The capital city has a pawn in the land, and there is an abundance of money and food, and I am afraid that other places will ......... To tell you the truth, although we have saved some salaries, we have no armor and a shortage of equipment........."
“……… I knew that you had taken a fancy to the treasury in the capital city," Li Mo laughed, waved his hand and said, "If Mr. Zhen can give me Li a face, and don't do anything in the capital city, then I should repay the favor, so I will support you with 500,000 taels of silver and 5,000 sets of armor......... Are you satisfied? ”
Zhen Qi's body was shocked, and the silver was fine, the excellent team weapon was a priceless treasure, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, stood up and bowed deeply to Li Moyi, and said gratefully, "Thank you, General............ I......... If someone in my town has a successful day, he will never forget the general's generosity today........."
Seeing that Li Mo was smiling and silent, Zhen Qi suddenly had a trace of extravagant hope in his heart, he hesitated slightly, and said in a hesitant voice, "I heard......... I heard that the general has a lot of artillery firearms in his hands........."
Li Mo frowned, this guy still has to look at Shu, he is really greedy, "Cannon, it's not a brother, I don't want to give it, this thing is not as good as pawn armor, it's not easy to carry........." He thought for a while, "If Mr. Zhen can succeed in his move, he can come to me after he has the territory......... But I won't give it away for nothing, you'll have to trade real money for .........."
Zhen Qi was slightly disappointed, but he was also expected, seeing that Li Moyi didn't say no words, he happily said, "It's okay............ According to the general, among the cities of the four directions, where is the best thing to do? ”
Li Mo groaned slightly, and said slowly, "......... Mr. is well-informed, and should also know that after the enclosure, the people in the north of the coast are everywhere, and the people have no food and clothing, so it can be said that there is nothing that cannot be done," Seeing that Zhenqi was a little disappointed, Li Mo smiled and said, "I expect that it will definitely be more unbearable now, this time our team entered the capital city, and the world was shaken, and the northern cities must be terrified, and they have to prepare for the battle......... If the whole team prepares for war, it will definitely need a large amount of food, and if you want a large amount of food, you will have to harsh the people again, the so-called sending the people to rebel, Mr. Zhen, you just wait and see, in a few months, I expect that a big chaos will break out........."
Zhen Qi was in high spirits, applauded and sighed, "The general is .................. talented"
"I can't afford it, Mr. Zhen, if you really want to do something, I suggest you in a small town in the northwest, where the land is barren, there are nine disasters in ten years, and the people's livelihood has withered, if there is a strict level, it will definitely be easier to respond than elsewhere........."
Zhen Qi was stunned for a moment, turned around and looked at Li Moyi with a suspicious gaze, "Why did the general say this?" The small city in the northwest is a place of four wars, not to mention the possibility of no development, and it is even more dangerous......... I'm afraid......... It's not easy to run, right? ”
Li Mo snorted one by one, "Mr. Zhen, aren't you confused?" You are not fighting to cut off the king, but to restore the orthodoxy, although the small northwest is the land of four wars, it is difficult to become the capital city, isn't it? ……… Do you think I'm not on all sides now? ……… As for the development of a post......... The so-called things are man-made, if you really have the ambition of Lingyun, then take out some skills..............."
These words were like an initiation, Zhen Qideng came to his senses, and immediately bowed his hand, and said sincerely, "What the general said is extremely true, if you are based on the small cities in the northwest, you can go south along the way and take all the cities, and Zhen has been taught.................."
He straightened up and said in high spirits, "I echo the north and south with the general, and great things can be accomplished.........
……………
……………
After a period of chaos, the situation in the capital city has largely stabilized.
At least on the surface, the shops have resumed business, but everyone knows that the war is imminent, and the price of grain has skyrocketed, and a stone of white rice has been sold for five dollars in silver, and various daily necessities such as cloth, oil, and salt have also risen.
This gave Li Moyi and the others a big headache, and they had to spare their energy to deal with this economic crisis caused by panic while preparing for war.
…………
…………
Although the sea transportation has been cut off, the situation is not as bad as imagined, there are many wealthy families in the capital city, most of them have enough food, and Li Mo also has several large granaries left by the emperor in one hand, and there is no shortage of food in the capital city in a short period of time, in fact, the current crisis is just that people panic on their own, so that those grain merchants have added fuel to the fire and exploited the loopholes.
The Mochen Brigade behaved very aggressively in this crisis, which can be described as iron barbarianism, in fact, Li Moyi and his subordinates were also quite angry about this, and they were about to go into battle, and these black-hearted businessmen were still dragging their feet, so they had nothing to do.
Li Mo wondered in his heart......... In this case, we have to resort to some brutal means.
After a period of discussion, Li Beicai and Zheng Hejing respectively co-opted some wavering factions among the merchants, and then began martial law in the whole city, and a large number of brigades immediately rushed into various rice shops to arrest the whole family. After some intimidation and threats, the price of rice slowly subsided due to the efforts of the merchants.
At the same time, under Li Beicai's overall planning, the grain from the granary of the attached small city was also transported into the city in batches in a planned manner, which stabilized the people's hearts to a certain extent.
It is worth mentioning here that the 10,000 new soldiers who enlisted in the capital city tasted the sweetness in this crisis, and at the insistence of Li Moyi, Li Bei provided a batch of food and silver subsidies for the team members free of charge.
In fact, during this time, although the Mochen Brigade did not have any major team actions, it was not that they did nothing.
While training desperately, the brigade also pulled out to fight a few small battles, targeting more than a dozen small cities under the jurisdiction of Ying Tianfu.
This process is similar to fighting the previous big battalion, in simple terms, it is not a battle, because most of the poor men in these small cities have already fled, and the rest of them are not any cross-cutting people, although the thousands of cavalry soldiers Wu Wu saw were not very well trained, but it was really scary to run with a bang, and when the team was lined up and dragged out of the cannons, these small cities also fell immediately and logically.
Since then, the range of activities of the cavalry of the Mochen Brigade has gradually expanded, facing each other far away to the northwest, and pressing the coastal area step by step to the south.
…………
…………
Zheng Hejing showed great talent in intelligence and propaganda at these times.
In Li Moyi's opinion, this guy is indeed very potential, and if he exercises well, it is not impossible to become a big man who is amazing.
Under Li Moyi's personal guidance, Zheng Hejing quickly comprehended the main points of action, and during this time, he took advantage of the opportunity of the last big publicity to organize a very practical team.
Some of the work teams with the troupe, storytellers and other entertainers as the main force were active in all corners of the capital city, expanding the influence of the Mochen brigade in various ways that the people liked to see, and several small-scale battles against the small city became huge victories under his exaggerated propaganda, helping Li Moyi quickly stabilize the current situation in the capital city on the side.
When the capital city fell and the news of the emperor's martyrdom spread, the whole country immediately entered a state of chaos and disorder.
The officials of the northern cities did not believe the news at first, but when this rumor was confirmed again and again, they and the brigade they led had a large-scale panic, and many of the city's lives were chaotic in a short period of time, and the messengers were at a loss for this. After the assembly, who will take the lead in power has become a point of contention among the governors of the northern cities.

There seems to be some embarrassment between the elders of the various cities, because since the chaos of the current situation, the garrisons in the north have been emptied, if you want to attack the capital city to exterminate the rebels, the strength of one city and one place is naturally not enough, but at this time, everyone is a big party, and no one can order anyone.
The rest of the place was a little better, at least the rebel team was still far away from them, but the governor of Zhili, Si Tong Wugu, was so anxious that his mouth was full of bubbles, and his line was not far from the capital city, and he was hit the hardest.
The cavalry of the capital city rebel team can be said to be Xiang Fa Xizhi, but at this time he has a pitiful mobile brigade at hand, the governor's battalion, including the garrison and the green battalion, is less than 3,000 people, and most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled, in addition to the shortage of food and salary, there are no other small cities in the jurisdiction, most of them only have more than 100 people of security and flood battalions, even if they are drawn out, I am afraid it will not work, the only thing that can be counted on is only the more than 3,000 people and horses in the coastal area, but there seems to be more danger than him, and the documents asking for help have been sent no less than hundreds, He was too embarrassed to transfer them over to defend him.
At present, the current situation is unclear, and the local area is an important place, and no one can say that they can flee without a fight.
Tong Wugu has no intention of escaping, although he is not very bold, but after all, he is also the emperor's uncle, as the emperor's relatives, he naturally has a high consciousness, and he has to stand up in the face of such a crisis, he hesitates and worries day after day, constantly issuing various documents for help, and fast horses one after another, rushing to the front lines of various places and cities.
