County government, Jinlin Yuan.

Originally, this place was the residence of the successive county lords of Annan County, and it was also the residence of Sanjier, the indigenous prince of Daeyue who had just escaped from Yangzhou City.

More than 20 years ago, after Sang Kang led his troops to occupy Annan County, he gave him the entire Yangzhou City, and he was responsible for the military and political taxes of the entire Yangzhou City.

I have to say that Sanjier is still a bit of wisdom and humanity of the Dayue nobleman, since he took office, he has worked hard to govern Yangzhou City and all the things in the eight counties.

The Dayue people are brave and good at fighting, ruthless and fierce, and all of them are from the tribe, so their set in the tribe is not suitable for managing the people of the Great Song Dynasty at all. Because after the Da Yue people occupied Annam, when facing the local Han people, they always had an extremely arrogant sense of blood superiority.

Except for the people in their Dayue tribe, all other races, including the Han people, who are very advanced and developed in agriculture, science and technology, culture, etc., are a group of animals that can be enslaved and whipped at will.

In the face of these Han people, every Dayue person feels that they have the right to decide their life and death, and they can be punished or executed at will, anyway, in the hearts of the Dayue people, they are nobles and slave owners, and these occupied and captured Han people, they are a group of low-level slaves.

In the first few years of the occupation of Annam, the fate of the local Han people was dark, tragic, and full of blood and tears. Because the Dayue Kingdom did not formulate a complete legal system at that time, many innocent Han people died tragically under the butcher's knife of the Dayue people at that time.

Among them, there were those who refused to accept the insults and were executed, those who saw the Dayue people not kneeling and bowed and were executed, and those who refused to hand over something in the eyes of the Dayue people and were executed...... And so on, back then, if a random Da Yue person wanted to execute a Han person, they had countless reasons, and the price they paid for executing a Han person was nothing more than a small sum of money that was not very expensive.

This money is nothing to them, and if they casually blackmail and plunder a few Han merchants, they will soon be able to return tenfold and hundredfold.

Due to the very chaotic situation at that time, which led to a sharp decline in grain and taxes in those years, and later Sanjier and several other high-level Dayue leaders with great wisdom felt that something would happen sooner or later if this continued, so they issued a series of strict orders: except for the fiefdom nobles and the garrison army, the rest of the Dayue people were all repatriated to the Yue country. Any Da Yue soldier who lynched a Han without authorization would be punished with flogging and then deported to China, never to step into Han soil again.

Later, in order to restore the prosperity of agriculture and commerce as soon as possible, many Han Chinese were hired to serve as civil officials in various state capitals and counties.

Of course, the Da Yue people only need their assistance in managing the people of the city, and the military and armed forces of the entire Annam County have always been controlled by the Da Yue people.

In the entire five cities and 28 counties of Annan County, all the generals and soldiers were all Dayue people, and there was not a single Han Chinese.

It can be seen that the Dayue people's precaution against the Han people can be seen.

Now, the county capital Jinlin Yuan has become an empty residence, and the Nie League Lord, who has occupied the entire Yangzhou City, naturally lives in it

Since Jinlin Garden was once inhabited by the indigenous prince of Dayue, the interior was built and decorated with great luxury and exquisiteness. There are eight wings in Jinlin Garden, two living rooms, a flower hall, and a very large study.

At the same time, Jinlin Garden is surrounded by a circle of courtyard walls, and there are pavilions and pavilions in the courtyard, small bridges and flowing water, garden rockeries, and the scenery is extremely elegant.

The sun rises in the east, and the warm breeze blows.

At this moment, in a gorgeous bedroom with exquisite decoration and carved dragons and phoenixes, Nie Zheng tidied up his clothes, slowly walked to the windowsill, looked at the yellow seal box placed under the windowsill, and had a faint smile on his face.

Last night, he stayed up all night.

The reason for insomnia is because I am too excited.

Reborn in this strange ancient world for so long, fighting bloody battles all the way, from the beginning of the Black Wind Village, to the dragon and tiger alliance in the back, and then to the current Yangzhou City, step by step there are no dangers, and finally there are some achievements.

When he took over the city seal from those Han officials in Siyachang last night, Nie Zheng knew very well in his heart that from that moment on, his dream of being a hot-blooded warlord in ancient times had finally taken a big step forward.

Thinking of the indifferent expressions on the faces of those officials last night, Nie Zheng secretly felt a little strange.

They seemed to be prepared for their arrival, and although they were in awe, they were not very frightened.

Especially the leading Yangzhou auxiliary officer Chen Taizhi, when he saw him at that time, his face was calm, and he just led everyone to bow down and said: "Nie Dashuai, Xiaguan and others have been waiting here for a long time!" ”

"Nie Dashuai?"

How do they know their surname is Nie? Could it be that Chen Taizhi, the auxiliary official of Yangzhou, had already heard the news of the arrival of the Dragon and Tiger Army from Linjiang County through some channels?

Thinking of this, Nie Zheng felt that it was very possible.

After all, Linjiang County is one of the eight counties under the rule of Yangzhou, and Chen Taizhi, as an auxiliary official of Yangzhou City, is actually equivalent to the secretary of the indigenous prince, managing all the government affairs of the entire eight counties of Yangzhou for the prince.

If this is the case, then he may have some secret channels to get in touch with Jia Xiufang in Linjiang County? Even if he didn't get in touch with Jia Xiufang, there must be some other Han officials in Linjiang County, and those people would definitely tell him in detail about the occupation of Linjiang County by the Dragon and Tiger Army.

Chen Taizhi is definitely a smart man, otherwise he would not have been able to gain the trust of Prince Sanjir and become the first auxiliary officer of Yangzhou.

Since he had already known that he would lead the army to occupy Yangzhou City, this Chen Taizhi must have been ready to greet him, and the officials of their group of Siyachang knew very well that the Dragon and Tiger Army led by Nie Zheng was really to occupy the city, and they would not come arbitrarily. That's why they waited in the Crane Dance Hall of the county capital, holding the city seal until the second half of the night.

Last night, Nie Zheng came to the Crane Dance Hall in person, and after taking the seal letter from the hands of Chen Taizhi and others, he only said a word to their group of officials. "It's business as usual for now!"

Nie Zheng knew very well in his heart that this sentence would definitely make them feel at ease for the time being.

It's business as usual for now!

The meaning of Nie Zheng's words is obvious, which means that how you managed the city in the past, you will do it according to your previous methods in the past few days, and then reshuffle the cards when the situation is stable in the future.

Slowly put away the seal box, Nie Zheng looked up at the sky outside, and estimated that it was only eight o'clock in the morning at most, and it was time to go out to inspect and see how Shi Zheng and Xu Shijie had deployed their city defenses.

Thinking of this, Nie Zheng came to the bedside, picked up his robe and prepared to leave the bedroom.

At this moment, Niu Meng, who was guarding outside the door, suddenly reported in a deep voice: "Alliance leader, Chen Fuguan of the Si Ya Factory asks to see you!" ”

"Chen Taizhi?"

Nie Zheng's heart moved, and secretly said that he came to find him so early, could there be something urgent?

After a moment of deep silence, Nie Zheng instructed Niu Meng: "Let him wait for me in the study." ”

"Yes, Alliance Leader!" ……

A moment later, under the escort of Niu Meng and others, Nie Zheng left the bedroom and went straight to the study not far away.

As soon as he stepped into the study, Nie Zheng saw Chen Taizhi waiting anxiously in front of the desk, looking a little restless.

To tell the truth, Chen Taizhi is about fifty years old, and he is a local big family reputation, and he has been an auxiliary official for more than ten years for the indigenous prince of Dayue.

But now that I see him, I look anxious, and it is obvious that I have encountered something tricky.

"Auxiliary Officer Chen, what do you want to see?"

After Chen Taizhi saw that Nie Zheng finally appeared, he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed and saluted: "Xiaguan greets the handsome!" ”

"Excuse me!"

Nie Zheng waved his hand, motioning for him to find a place to sit down, and then slowly walked around and sat down in front of the chair behind the desk, "Auxiliary Officer Chen looked anxious, could it be that there is something urgent?" ”

Chen Taizhi looked up at Nie Zheng, sighed deeply and said, "Dashuai, there is chaos in the seven counties outside the city." ”

Nie Zheng frowned and said, "What's the mess?" Let's talk about it in detail. ”

Chen Taizhi pondered for a moment and said, "Since the Great Marshal led the Dragon and Tiger Army into the city yesterday, all the Dayue people in this Yangzhou City and the eight counties under his rule have all been evacuated. In addition to Linjiang County, the seven counties of Heyuan County, Fengtai County, Liyuan County, Poshan County, Sanshui County, Guangtong County, and Bajiao County are now in chaos.

The evacuation of the Dayue people led to no one in the city to defend the city, like those in the county - ruffians actually took advantage of the chaos to wantonly plunder and rape in the county, resulting in restlessness in the city, people are uneasy, because no one can supervise, the people in the city have also joined in, and the situation is a little out of control. ”

Bang!!

Nie Zheng slammed the case and said in a cold voice: "A group of beasts who have lost their conscience are simply inferior to those Dayue people. ”

Seeing that his face was as cold as ice, Chen Taizhi couldn't help but tremble, hesitated for a moment, and said stiffly: "Please also ask the marshal to immediately send troops to the counties to guard and suppress, otherwise, if it drags on for a few more days, the people's will will change, and the situation will become more and more difficult to control." ”

Nie Zheng didn't want to think about it and nodded: "You go back and prepare first, and after half an hour, I will send troops to the counties to guard!" “

Hearing this, Chen Taizhi nodded deeply, bowed and said, "Xiaguan will go back to prepare and retire!" ”

"Walk slowly, don't send it!"

Looking at the back of Chen Taizhi leaving, Nie Zheng immediately burst into a shout: "Niu Meng! ”

"The subordinates are here!"

After hearing Nie Zheng's call, Niu Meng rushed in quickly, and when he saw Nie Zheng's cold and angry look, his heart perked, and he secretly said what did Auxiliary Officer Chen say to the alliance leader just now, how could he make the alliance leader so angry.

Nie Zheng looked at Niu Meng coldly, and said in a deep voice: "You immediately send an order, let Shi Zheng transfer 1,500 men and horses in the city, divide the troops into seven routes, and follow Chen Taizhi to the seven counties to suppress the rebellion!" ”

"Yes!"

"By the way, Niu Meng, you immediately send someone to fly pigeons to Linjiang, and order Jia Xiufang to send seven hundred people from Linjiang County to Yangzhou, remember, you must let them arrive as quickly as possible!"

"Yes!" ……
