Before Ankang Mountain came, the two eldest ladies fought in the city.

Women fighting would have been just fun, but if these two eldest ladies with soldiers and horses fought, Taiyuan Mansion would be in chaos.

The fish rots and rots, and the soil collapses!

Master Xiang stopped the two of them.

"Ah Cheng, Xian'er, you know better than anyone else, now that Taiyuan Mansion is in danger, you are all guards, even if there is a great feud at this time, you should work together." Master Xiang sat in the hall and said heavily and tiredly, "You are not ordinary women, you are related to the life and death of hundreds of thousands of people in Taiyuan Mansion." ”

The two eldest ladies who are related to the life and death of Taiyuan Mansion sit on the left and right.

Qi Acheng quickly admitted his mistake: "I shouldn't talk to Miss Li at this time, but don't worry, sir, I will work together with Miss Li in defending the city." ”

Li Mingqi smiled and stopped continuing the topic.

"In the thirteen counties in Taiyuan Prefecture, I have issued an order that villages and towns will enter the county seat, small cities will enter big cities, and big cities will join forces nearby, and those who can take away cattle, sheep, rice, and grain will be taken away, and those that cannot be taken away will be destroyed on the spot, and no supplies will be left for the rebels." She said, "Now it's people from the vicinity of Taiyuan Province who are entering the city. ”

This is to explain to everyone what she did.

Hearing the appearance of the rebels, Qi Acheng took the soldiers and horses out of the city to investigate, and Miss Li, who lived in the eldest lady's villa, also went out with the soldiers and horses.

The soldiers and horses of Qi'a City found out the movement of the rebels and fought against each other, while Miss Li came back brightly dressed and bloodstained, and brought a huge population to the city.

Dispersing the people and clearing the wilderness is also the key to preparing for war, and the officials in the hall breathed a sigh of relief and said that Miss Li is not an ignorant person.

"It's just...."The prefect hesitated, "With so many people coming suddenly, the resettlement in the house is a big problem, and now it's time to ..... when there is no reception."

Qi Acheng thought that the prefect said too tactfully, and took over the words: "So many people need to eat, sleep, and have clothes to wear, the battle to defend the city is not a day or two can end, so many people can't eat in the city, it will be a big chaos, and when the time comes, there is no need to attack the city from Ankang Mountain, and the city will be over." ”

"Because you want to defend the city, because there will be chaos when there are more people, so you don't want these people?" Li Mingqi said, "Then have you ever thought that these people are scattered, we don't want them, the rebels want them, the rebels use them as servants, as rations, as weapons, let them dig trenches against us, tear down our city walls, let them be in front of the siege charge, block arrows and fill the trenches and pave the road....."

She looked into the hall, her hands spread out in front of her.

"These people are all from Taiyuan Mansion, the seven aunts and eight aunts are turning around the corner, the country is full of voices, when the time comes, groups of people rush in, the soldiers want to kill the rebels first, and when the time comes, look at the groups of people dying outside the city, adults, do you really think the city will not be chaotic?"

"When the time comes, the corpses stacked high will be able to climb the city wall!"

"The battle to defend the city is not a day or two, ah, Miss Qi is right about this."

Li Mingqi looked at Qi Ah Cheng's little finger and shook it gently.

"It takes people to defend the city, people can't be resurrected after death, and if there is no one, what kind of city do you want to defend?"

She looked at them again.

"We don't need to leave this people alone, they will be used by the rebels and used as weapons against us."

"Look at the fierce soldiers and horses who have won a big victory now, which one has not raised a large population, and the lady of Chu is even more at the beginning of the troubled times, everyone drove out the homeless, and she did her best to adopt the homeless, for what? Can't eat enough food for the sake of food? ”

"Of course, it is because the soldiers and horses are strong now, and the near can help and support the Jiangnan Dao, Shandong Dao, Xuanwu Dao, and the distant can also attack the capital."

She looked at Qi Acheng again, and Cherry's mouth opened slightly.

"I forgot, the soldiers and horses of the Southeast Province did not achieve a big victory and were defeated by the rebels, if it weren't for our timely rescue of the South Sword Road...."

She smiled and didn't say anything more, and before Qi Acheng could speak, she turned the topic back.

“..... Whether it's Mrs. Chu or our Jiannan Dao, where did the soldiers and horses come from? It doesn't fall from the sky, they do everything they can to support the people, and only in this way can they unite in times of crisis. ”

The delicate woman, the soft voice, the old man and the generals sitting in the hall listened attentively and nodded in agreement.

There is no need to think about raising soldiers and horses from the people for the time being, at least one point is right at the moment, if these people are driven by the rebels and die outside the city in stacks, the morale of the people in the city will really be shattered.....

The prefect bowed to Li Mingqi: "Miss." ”

In just a few days, leading soldiers and horses to various places to settle the people steadily, only the prestige of this Miss Li can do it.

Not much to say, all the thanks and admiration are in the three words of the eldest lady.

Qi Acheng asked coldly: "The big truth is good, how to solve the matter in front of you?" There were originally hundreds of thousands of people in the city, and then there were hundreds of thousands, so many people, how could they eat? How to stay? I heard that Mrs. Chu has a cornucopia, Miss Li, do you have it? ”

Li Mingqi said: "Yes." ”

Yes? The officials were a little stunned, and the women didn't know what was true or false......

“..... Previously, under my call, Fucheng took in many people, but it was not me alone, but many people in Fucheng did it together. Li Mingqi said, "It's the same this time, I have asked all the big families in Taiyuan Mansion to come and defend the city together, and we will provide rice and food and clothing, as for the ...... accommodation."

Li Mingqi looked at the prefect.

"Please divide the area and settle these people, I will arrange manpower to ensure that they advance and retreat in an orderly manner, and will not disturb the security of the city, fortunately, the weather is warm now, and they will not freeze to death if they sleep on the street."

You don't need the government to pay for it, you just need to divide the area, then it will save a lot of trouble, the prefect nodded with a smile: "The eldest lady is thoughtful." ”

Outside, there was a chaotic footstep, and a group of officials and servants ran to shout to your lordship, and the officials in the hall were startled.

"Don't shout sir." One of the officials shouted, "Say something!" ”

Although I don't know why I didn't let me call my lord, the messenger still responded, pinched off the word adult and said: "Outside, the Chen family and the medicine guild have pulled a lot of food packets, saying that they will donate porridge to the government for the people." ”

The nervous official suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and the prefect stood up and laughed and said Okay, but before he finished speaking, another errand ran in.

"My lord, my lord, the family has sent all the guards." They shouted, "Your Excellency, please." ”

Hearing this, the prefect didn't say anything, and took everyone out of the government without hesitation, and the streets outside the government were crowded.

There were the original residents of the city, and there were people who followed the eldest lady in, the news of the rebels appearing in Taiyuan Mansion had spread, and the new people brought new news, true and false, and the panic of the people was even more terrified, and some cried and shouted, but now the crying and questioning stopped, and looked at the queues on both sides of the street.

On one side is a car, on which are piled high grain bales, in addition to the grain bag cart, there are also carts full of slaughtered pigs, sheep, chickens and ducks, and on the other side are guards wearing armor, some riding horses, some running, some have more weapons and some have fewer weapons, but they are all in high spirits and majestic.

They were accompanied by the elders of the various old merchants' chambers of commerce.

"My lord, we will live and die with Taiyuan Mansion."

"My lord, please let us kill the enemy."

"My lord, our Liu family donated all the rice grain."

"My lord, all the shops of our trading house have been vacated to accommodate the people."

The crowd was full of emotions and cohesion, the prefect and other officials were too busy to greet this and that, and there were more cars in the distance, and the guards gathered, and Qi Acheng let the heads of the rebels who had been captured and killed before be hung on display, seeing that the rebels could be defeated, the most important thing was to hear that the number of rebels was small, and the people were appeased in panic......

"We have a tall city, we have 30,000 guards, and we have thousands of guards." Qi Acheng said, "We...."

Li Mingqi took her words and looked at the surging crowd: "We still have ourselves, we have all made preparations for a long time, we have enough food, enough people, and tall city moats that have been repaired and reinforced, and now the crisis is coming, we have no safer place except Taiyuan Mansion, only by guarding Taiyuan Mansion, we can survive, we work together to defend our homes and kill thieves!" ”

The key is the last sentence, without Taiyuan Mansion, it is more dangerous to run outside, if you want to survive, you must defend this city, and the people shouted in unison.

"Defend the city! Kill the thief! ”

One by one, it rolled like a wave, getting bigger and bigger, sweeping the entire city, even the soldiers and generals standing on the city wall heard it, and everyone was surging and agitated, eager to go out of the city to fight the rebels at this moment.

"The military heart is available, the people's heart is mighty, and Taiyuan Mansion is fearless!" The prefect's eyes were red, and he looked at the two women beside him, "There are two eldest ladies here, it's a blessing for me to Taiyuan Mansion!" ”

Li Mingqi glanced at Qi Acheng and said with a smile: "I hope that Miss Qi can save her father's reputation in a fight." ”

Qi Acheng's face did not change, and said: "I hope that Miss Li will not ruin the prestige of Li Dudu in the first battle." ”

The prefect looks at his nose and nose and his heart, all for his father, you fight bravely.
