Chapter 495: The People's Hearts Return
Xie Tongfu had fallen to the ground and died, Shen Zejing's expression was cold, and Yu Zhengdao, Shen Zesi and others were silent for a while.
"Xie Tongfu is dead, but Xining Dao is still there, and the battle situation in Xining Dao is still there. The Shen family has already stood up. Before the emperor's will comes, you must win over the hearts of the people of Xining. ”
What Yu Zhengdao wants to do is only one thing from beginning to end, which is to help Shen Zejing win the popularity of Xining Road and lay the foundation for Shen Zejing.
Biyun Cong has appeared, the Battle of Queensland has been won, Xining Wei has been returned to Peng Jin, and the Shen family is famous for Xining Dao and Dayong. These successive steps are extremely important, because these few steps have allowed the Shen family to have both a civil reputation and a military strength here in Xining Road.
After the Battle of Queensland, the Shen family, or Shen Zejing's influence in Xining Dao, was matched by no family or person.
It's a good start, but it's a dangerous one. One family can have absolute influence together, how can the court and the emperor allow this to happen?
Moreover, here in Xining Road, there is also the inexplicable Hu crossbow, as well as the Lingnan Wei sent troops in advance, and Zhao Yugang and Xie Tongfu were assassinated. These, if the king wants to ask for sin, it is too easy.
Yu Zhengdao was very sure that when the situation here in Xining Road was reported to Jingzhao, what was waiting for the Shen family would not be the merit of defending the territory and protecting the territory, but the deep jealousy of Emperor Jingxing!
The only thing that can fight against the emperor's jealousy is the people's desire and the people's heart! The power of the emperor is piled up by the common people, and Yu Zhengdao is convinced of this.
Therefore, he said that before the will of Emperor Jingxing arrived, he would gather the popularity of the people here in Xining Road.
"Yes, Xining Dao is still there, and the emperor's will will be in the future. The sky of Xining Road has not changed. Shen Zejing nodded, fully knowing what Yu Zhengdao meant.
The Shen family opened up the Xining trade route and defended Queensland. The Shen family has spent countless family wealth and made full use of the strength of the family's children here in Xining Road to have today's Xining Road.
Xining Dao is Dayong's, and in a sense, it is the Shen family's!
No matter what he will face next, Shen Zejing will never let it out.
Then, keep Xining Road and gather the hearts and hopes of the people here!
Under such a tone, the Shen family headed by Shen Zejing here in Xining Road, including the Shen family's in-laws, all moved.
Shen Zesi and Peng Jin erected the banner of conscription in various parts of Xining Dao, in the name of of which of course to supplement the insufficient troops of the Anxi Protectorate and Xining Wei.
The 50,000 soldiers of the Anxi Protectorate were all killed by the enemy army of Xiyan; There are also nearly 30,000 soldiers of Xiningwei, who were lost in the war and internal strife. In this way, the shortage of troops here in Xining Province is very serious.
As soon as the news of Shen Zesi and Peng Jin's conscription spread, it caused a sensation in Xining Road, and most of the young and strong people flocked to Queensland.
Because, the conscription conditions offered by Shen Zesi and Peng Jin are really too good! Those who are selected to enlist in the army not only provide food and shelter, but also provide them with money, but also take care of the three rites and four ceremonies of the family behind them, and even have special needs such as relocating family members, which can also be met by the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate and Xining Wei as much as possible.
Such conditions are an excellent way out for many poor people. And if you fight in the army, you can also add money to get promoted; What's more, the enemy army in Xiyan was annihilated by 300,000, and there will be no possibility of invasion in the next ten or twenty years, no matter how you calculate it, this is advantageous.
To put it bluntly, Shen Zesi and Peng Jin are going to use money to create a new Anxi Protectorate and Xining Wei!
On the third day when the banner of conscription was raised, nearly 200,000 young people came to sign up.
Needless to say, the young and strong people here in Queensland also followed Xining to defend the city, and naturally there was boiling blood in their hearts, and the people in Nanzhou, Yibang, Guizhou and other places also surged up like a tide.
After a round of elimination and selection, Shen Zesi and Peng Jin singled out 120,000 strong young and strong people as the new troops of Xining Dao. Among this new army, there are also many bandits who wash their hands with gold plates.
Shen Zesi and Peng Jin quickly integrated these 120,000 troops into the original 80,000 Xining Guards. Subsequently, after several dispersal and divisions, the 200,000 troops were no longer divided into new and old troops.
Through this conscription, the new Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate and Xining Wei appeared in Xining Road. The people who commanded these 200,000 troops were none other than Shen Zesi and Peng Jin!
If it was in peacetime, Shen Zesi and Peng Jin's conscription would definitely not succeed. But today's Xining Dao is a post-war pattern, everything cannot be judged as ordinary, plus Xie Tongfu and Zhao Yugang died, and no one stopped the conscription.
In this way, in just a few days, Shen Zesi and Peng Jin completed the reshuffling of Xining Dao's troops. This process made Yuan Huan, the general of Lingnan Wei, stunned, and didn't know how to react.
When Shen Zesi and Peng Jin were recruiting, Ying Nantu and Shen Yu were not idle, and began to spread the situation of the two wars in Wenzhen and Queensland in the states of Xining Province.
Ruliu is already too skilled to guide the direction of public opinion. In a short period of time, the details of the two wars in Wenzhen and Queensland were circulated in the streets and alleys of Xining Dao states.
The most important of these is the Biyun Manifestation and the Qinglin Fire Attack. Shen Zejing's majesty, wisdom and responsibility, along with the spread of these two things, were directly engraved in the minds of the people of Xining Dao.
Shen Zejing has been in charge of Queensland for two years, and he has already made a clear impression in the minds of the people of Queensland and even the people of Xining Province: a good official!
Under his leadership, Queensland became stronger and richer, and the people became more and more harmonious. Originally, the officials and people of Xining Province felt that Shen Zejing was a civil official who put pen to paper, and he was a good civil official who thought about the people.
However, Shen Zejing appeared on Biyuncong, and also set a strategy of fire attack, and also fought to defend Queensland. It turns out that Shen Zejing also has outstanding points in military strategy.
Wen can put pen to peace in the world, and Wu can go to the horse to determine the world.
This is the image of Shen Zejing in the minds of Xining Dao officials and people!
In addition to Shen Zejing, there is another child of the Shen family, who has also become a hot topic of discussion among the people of Xining Dao, that is, Shen Yuhong, who died in Wenzhen.
Dayong's heir, the heroic martyr in the army, and Shen Zejing's son, these identities are intertwined, which makes the people of Xining Dao feel extremely sorry for Shen Yuhong's death, and they also feel sad about it.
Death is sometimes powerful.
Shen Zejing and Shen Yuhong, both of whom are children of the Shen family of Wu Yue, of course, Shen Zesi, who charged bravely, and Shen Yule, who observed the stars, were also talked about by the people of Xining Dao.
The Shen family has become the place where officials and people in Xining Province look up.
In addition to publicizing the exploits of Shen Zejing, Shen Yuhong and others, Ying Nantu also did one thing with a lot of flow, that is, to announce the crimes of Xie Tongfu and Zhao Yugang!
Zhao Yugang and Xie Tongfu collaborated with the enemy to commit treason, and as Xiyan's spies, they used the Xining Wei vanguard army to open the gate of Wenzhen, so that none of the 50,000 Anxi soldiers survived, such a crime was enough for them to die ten times!
The collusion of secret letters was posted in front of the Queensland government; The path process of collusion is displayed in the pictures one by one; The charges of poisoning a former general, collaborating with the enemy and treason, etc., are all substantiated.
Even if the court's final condemnation was not made, the angry and loyal men took advantage of the Queensland turmoil to bring these two ancient sinners to justice.
There is contrast, there will be discrimination. In the comparison of Zhao Yugang and Xie Tongfu, two traitorous people, the officials and people of Xining Province felt more deeply how respectable Xiao Ruoyuan and Shen Yuhong, who died in battle; It was only then that I felt more deeply that they were able to survive the war thanks to the contributions of Shen Zejing and others.
In addition to conscription, preaching, and confession, the Shen family also did one of the most important things, that is, to hold a public sacrifice in Wenzhen to pay tribute to the 50,000 soldiers of Anxi!
The time of the public sacrifice is exactly the seventh day of Wenzhen's breaking, and it is also the first seven days of 50,000 Anxi martyrs. This day is worth remembering by the officials and people of Xining Province.
Before the public sacrifice, from Wenzhen to Queensland, long white flowers were erected; The stumps of the green forest are also covered with white flowers and white paper; Every county office, every business, and every big family also hung up white lanterns to pay tribute to the soldiers of Anxi Prefecture.
The vast majority of the soldiers in Anxi Prefecture are from Queensland, and almost every household in Queensland has funerals. The white flags and white lanterns hung by the common people are not only because of the public sacrifice, but also because of the mourning at home.
Wenzhen and Queensland, a piece of Susu, even Guizhou and Nanzhou, are also mourned by the whole city.
On the day of the public memorial, 200,000 soldiers of Xining Road, all dressed in linen and filial piety, walked from Queensland City to Wenzhen, lit green incense for the heroes who died there, and kowtowed.
Shen Zejing was dressed in plain white, and the Biyun Skull he was riding was also wearing white flags, leading 200,000 Xining troops to kneel down in Wenzhen.
A city of vegetarians, crying shocking the sky, 200,000 Xining soldiers, and nearly 500,000 Xining Dao people wearing linen and filial piety, such a number, such a scene, as long as you are in it, you can feel the intense sadness that cannot be dissolved, and you can also feel the luck of being alive.
There is the sorrow of death, and there is the happiness of life, this is the public sacrifice of Wenzhen.
This is the great memorial of Queensland and Xining Road, and the leader is Shen Zejing, who leads the people of Xining Road to cry together! Together with the people of Xining Province, we grieve together!
The significance of this public sacrifice made the soldiers and people of Xining Dao know what a blessing it is to be alive! They are alive because these people have given their lives, and it is these people who are guarding their homes!
And the representative of the guardian power, of course, is Shen Zejing, who even Biyun Cong is obedient! Where auspiciousness returns, the people's hearts certainly return.
200,000 soldiers and 500,000 people, after kowtowing, all looked at Shen Zejing and Bi Yuncong, their eyes were unprecedented gratitude and reverence.
Shen Zejing and the prestige of the Shen family,
