Chapter 284: Appeasement
When Ji Yuan returned to the county government office, it was already full of lights, and the main book and the county secretary who were hiding at home were invited to work in the county office.
There are more than half of them in the city, and most of them are either surrounded by people or they are hiding, but these people are enough for Zhao Hanzhang.
As soon as Ji Yuan arrived, Zhao Hanzhang knew that Sun County's order had been successfully sent out, and sure enough, he reported: "Sun County's order has successfully left Canyang to move troops to Chen County." ”
The county officer, the chief bookkeeper and Zhonglizheng: Didn't "......" say that the rebellious people had surrendered, and what rescue troops still needed to be moved at this time?
Everyone unanimously looked at General Ding, he was in the county government and should know the situation best.
General Ding was already vaguely aware of something, so he kept a tense face and did not look at them and did not respond.
Zhao Hanzhang had already finished seeing the scouts who came back from all walks of life to report the situation, looked at them with his chin raised slightly, and asked: "Chen Wan, the head of the troubled people, has been recruited, and he is also willing to assist the county government to pacify the people, but now that the city is chaotic, it is late at night, and there are many people fishing in troubled waters, do you have a way to calm the people?" ”
Everyone glanced at each other, because they knew that Sun County's order had run away, and although Zhao Hanzhang was the county commander of Xiping County, he was their biggest official here except for General Ding, and everyone subconsciously listened to her, "I am willing to listen to Zhao County's dispatch." ”
After expressing his loyalty, the county Cheng said: "As long as they don't riot anymore, the lower officials are willing to go to each house to report safety and appease the people." ”
The master also immediately said: "The lower officials are also willing to go." ”
When the Li Zheng heard this, they also said: "We are also willing to go to each family to report safety in person to reassure the people." ”
This is Zhao Hanzhang's purpose.
Now the people in the city are panicking, and only the county minister, the chief bookkeeper and the Li Zheng can personally come forward to appease the people who want to flee, including the gentry and wealthy families in the city.
Zhao Hanzhang said: "I asked the soldiers to escort you." ”
She looked at General Ding.
General Ding Shen was interested and immediately said, "The last general is also willing to protect you." ”
Zhao Hanzhang nodded with satisfaction and asked people to take them down to arrange.
Tonight, the entire county town of Canyang is sleepless.
Zhao Erlang and Zhao Ju led the team separately, one in the east of the city and the other in the west of the city, to exterminate the rebels who refused to obey the order to stop, and by the way, drove the rebels who were willing to surrender to the outside of the city or in front of the county yamen.
Under the protection of the soldiers, the county and others went deep into the alleyway, stepped on the chaotic blood stains and corpses on the ground to knock on the door, and told the people in the house, "The chaos has subsided, and the families have closed their doors, treated the wounded, and waited for dawn." ”
The soldiers who followed shouted, "We are the reinforcements of Xiping County, and the chaos in Cangyang County has been quelled by our county king." ”
Someone has already shouted gongs and drums before, but not many people believe it, and at this time it was the county Cheng \ master \ Lizheng who heard the shouting outside, and the people in the house finally put their minds at ease.
Such a scene was repeated in every alleyway, and someone quietly opened the door to confirm it, and saw that there were no more chaotic people outside, so he slammed the door back again.
The night was getting darker and darker, and the brightly lit county town was slowly quieting down, and basically all the rioters were either driven out of the city or driven to the gate of the county government.
Zhao Hanzhang has been standing on the steps of the county government and watching, and all the people who have been driven here have their heads tilted and looked at her quietly.
When the morning was about to dawn, Zhao Ju led the team back, lined up on both sides of the street, and saw so many soldiers with evil spirits, and the rioters moved uneasily.
Zhao Erlang and Fu Tinghan were also covered in blood and rode back with the team.
The people on the main street were even more frightened and restless.
Zhao Hanzhang looked at Zhao Ju and Fu Tinghan.
Zhao Ju said in a low voice: "Killed more than a dozen cruel people, and the rest of them were driven here, and some ran out of the city." ”
Fu Tinghan said: "After arresting five people, I asked people to be quietly escorted to the back, and the rest of the people were also driven here, and some ran away." ”
Zhao Hanzhang nodded slightly, and then said to the people who were gradually restless: "The city gate has been opened, from here to the main city gate, all the way is unimpeded, now you can turn around and go home." ”
When everyone heard this, they slowly quieted down.
"Today's turmoil is not only my pain, but also the pain of Canyang, but also your pain and nightmare, I hope you can always remember today's chaos, and I will always remember!"
Zhao Hanzhang said in a deep voice: "In the future, you will not make such mistakes again, and I, all the officials, the rich and the proud, will not make today's mistakes, and will force you to this ......"
The whole street was quiet, and everyone quietly looked at Zhao Hanzhang standing under the gate of the county government and listened to her.
"Now, you turn around, walk out of the city, and wait back at home," Zhao Hanzhang said: "I can promise you once again, today's matter, I will not be investigated, and I will definitely not settle accounts after the autumn, and I will recheck the matter of summer tax!" ”
The people standing on the street looked at each other, and the last person took the lead in saluting Zhao Hanzhang, and then turned around and walked back from the crowd, which was the direction of the city gate.
When the people around him saw it, they also hurriedly saluted Zhao Hanzhang, turned around and followed towards the city gate.
The quiet street swelled, and everyone turned in unison and went in the direction of the city gate.
By the time the light of day appeared and the entire county town was re-presented to everyone, there was no one on the entire main street except for the soldiers.
Oh, there are still two people standing under the steps of the county government, one Chen Wan and one Xiang Yu.
Ji Yuan was relieved to see that the rebels had really left, and there was no chaos, and he looked at Zhao Hanzhang.
Zhao Hanzhang didn't feel much happiness on his face, because there was a cry in the deep alleys of the streets that had been quiet from the second half of the night to the present.
First there were one or two small cries, then a cry, and when the sun came out completely, the whole county was either depressed or collapsed.
Ji Yuan wasn't very happy either.
Everyone listened to these cries in silence for a long time.
In the end, it was Fu Tinghan who interrupted the long silence, "Let's go and count the grain depot." ”
Whether it is the grain tax to be handed over to Yuzhou, or the stability that Zhao Hanzhang promised to the people of Canyang, food is needed.
So the top priority is the grain depot.
Zhao Hanzhang nodded, looked at General Ding and the county master, "Lead the way, let's go to see the grain depot first." ”
"This ......" The three of them looked at each other, that was the lifeblood of Cangyang County, and Sun County's order was not there......
"What," Zhao Hanzhang raised his eyebrows and asked, "I can't be the lord of Canyang County now?" Or go out of the city and let the people come back again? ”
The faces of the three of them darkened, and General Ding Shen swept over the county and the main book, and said: "There are two grain depots in our county, one is in the county office, and the other is in the other place, I don't know if the grain depot has been found and breached." ”
