The magistrate and county magistrate of Suide County, with a group of disheveled so-called officers and soldiers, welcomed Chongzhen and others into the city with great gratitude, but for them, they only did an extremely insignificant thing.

The sun rose in the east, and Suide County was once again bathed in the brilliant morning light.

Everyone is accustomed to the dryness and loess here, and everyone's face and neck are covered with a light layer of loess without wind and dust, making the yellow skin look even more yellow.

Chongzhen took a few people to walk around the city, combined with what he had seen and heard before, and saw the whole leopard.

He really loves this land very much, because this is the cradle of Chinese civilization.

Upward, the Yellow River, the mother river of the Chinese nation, bypasses a huge curve and flows again into the traditional land of China, where suffering deeply, and forms a vast grassland area - Hetao with the Great Wall, another spiritual symbol of the Chinese people.

The ultimate goal of Chongzhen's trip to the northwest is this land.

"You can't be blind in front of Yuan Chonghuan and Man Gui, the Ordos Yellow River Manhan tune sung."

But it seems that he can't get around the grotesque whirlpool of "outside must first be inside".

Fortunately, Chongzhen and his command are not a problem in internal warfare, and external warfare is even more bloody for the rest of their lives.

Almost all the people of Suide County who lived in the city came, and the simple county government was also crowded, so people stood under the ancient and dilapidated eaves outside the county government relying on the rammed walls of loess.

It is said that it is the people of the whole county, but the number is actually not much, and after a rough count, there are at most 10,000 people, and most of the people do not have hope on their faces, but are numb and unkind.

"They actually came to see the play, to see how many catties and taels Lao Tzu, the king of Daming Xin, who gave them a great shock when he first arrived." Chongzhen sighed silently, and began to act.

He sat upright in the county hall, but he moved the heavy table to the side, showing his burly and athletic materials in front of the local officials, soldiers and people, and shouted in a deep voice: "Where is the Suide County Order? ”

The one who bowed down and stood first in the hall came out of the line and knelt on the ground and said: "Cheng Qiang, the commander of Suide County, has seen His Royal Highness King Xin, His Royal Highness Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose. ”

"If the walls do not fall, the Lord will not run. Your name is kind of interesting. Chongzhen affirmed his behavior of abandoning the county and fleeing, and said, "How do you plan to dispose of the corpses of the rogues around the county?" It's impossible to expose them to the scorching sun, right? If you don't deal with it in time, I'm afraid it will lead to epidemics! ”

The ancients were secretive about the word epidemic, and when the people outside the hall heard this, they immediately made a commotion, and they were also full of expectations for the answer of the county commander Cheng Qiang.

Cheng Qiang said in his heart: "It's better to see than to hear, His Royal Highness King Xin's skills are really perfect." Hey, fortunately, this official has also been prepared, aren't His Highness's subordinates all from Liaodong? Easy to do! ”

Cheng Qiang remembered the "Journey to the Guannai of the Head of Jiannu", which was popular in China after Ningyuan's victory, and said excitedly: "The fallen leaves return to the roots, and the thief can just dig a pit and bury it, so as to add some nutrients to the loess." As for the head, it is naturally to build a Beijing temple outside the city to deter Xiaoxiao. ”

The first half of Cheng Qiang's sentence also made Chongzhen feel a little good, but the second half of the sentence touched the deepest emotion in his heart for this land, and he immediately said in a deep voice: "Ergouzi, return the king's horsewhip." ”

Ergouzi was very angry that others called him so, but the king of faith called him like this, and he only felt honored.

So he happily agreed, and ran over to take the horsewhip that had been whipped through the butt of the donkey, and respectfully handed it over to Chongzhen with both hands.

Chongzhen flipped his palm, stood up and shook it gently, and the horsewhip crackled beside Cheng Qiang, making him tremble, but he never understood where he said it wrong and what he did wrong.

Chongzhen saw his posture and knew that he couldn't understand it on his own, so he angrily whipped his thin but fairly broad shoulder, and said, "Are you treating my Chinese compatriots as Jiannu or Hetaokou? ”

Cheng Qiang was in pain, but he gritted his teeth and didn't exhale in pain, but raised his head in surprise and said, "Why did Your Highness say this?" Xia Guan never had this meaning! They...... It's just a thief trying to mess with me! ”

Chongzhen still admires Cheng Qiang's courage, although this guy's talent may not be enough to match the position of county commander, but his stubbornness does have the hardness of a man in northwest China, so he asked: "Where are you from?" ”

Cheng Qiang was obviously not used to the jumping thinking of reluctance, and said in a daze: "People from Suide County." ”

"Mizhi's mother-in-law, Suide's Han, really lives up to her reputation."

Chongzhen nodded and sighed lightly: "You actually asked the voices of all the officials in the Ming Dynasty, but there is also a saying among the hungry people, called - the officials force the people to rebel, and the people have to rebel."

However, whether it is an official or a citizen, it is all my Chinese compatriots, and how to solve internal disputes behind closed doors is our own business, as long as we don't give outsiders a loophole. Whether it is the head or the body, let it all be buried in the ground. ”

Cheng Qiang thought about it for a while, and then bowed heartily: "The next official receives the order, and he will send someone to carry it out." ”

Chongzhen shook his head and said: "With so many heads and bodies, there is no need to be in a hurry, after the interrogation of this king is completed, you will personally take the people of Suide to bury my compatriots who have taken risks to satisfy their stomachs." ”

"No!"

The arrangement of Chongzhen's three words and two words undoubtedly contained very deep emotions, not only Cheng Qiang was sincerely impressed, but even the people who were listening outside the hall were suddenly moved.

More daring people shouted: "Lord Zhixian, count me as one." ”

"I'll go too!"

"I'll go too!"

An old man stiffened his neck and said: "You group of melons, do you still have to work hard to order His Royal Highness the King to personally lead this little thing?" Hey, fathers and fellow villagers outside the ya, His Royal Highness said that he would dig a few pits outside the city and bury the heads and bodies of those rogues on the spot. ”

"Don't you care?"

"It is an honor for us to be appointed by His Royal Highness the King of Letters, and we dare to ...... it."

Yuan Shisan, whose whole body was wrapped in golden cloth armor, laughed and said, "That's Diao people in the poor countryside, pacing the belly of our highness with the heart of a villain. Go ahead, not only for food, but also for fullness. ”

"Eat and be full", two words and four words, short and powerful, but more effective than any long promise.

It is enough for the people to hear it. The Chinese people are so easy to be content.

As long as the people outside the county government have the strength of the molecule, they are all busy.

The insensitive county town of Suide was rejuvenated in this way.
