Chapter 90 Recruitment
Li Duo is a talented person, and in the future, he will be one of the eighteen scholars of the Southern Chu Tiance Mansion, and he will be the Situ of the Chu State. He once left two remarks of "Dense Rain Like Scattered Silk Fu" and "Autumn Dew Fu".
Able to write and martial arts, lead the troops on the horse, and govern the people on the horse.
When Li Yu heard that Li Duo had come to Changsha for peace talks, he went out of the city to greet him personally.
Seeing a team of people on the opposite side, coming with a festival, Li Yu knew that it should be Li Duo who came.
He dismounted his horse and dressed in his robe, took two steps closely, and asked, "But is Lord Li, the commander of the Wu'an Army?" β
Li Duo saw that the man in the python robe stopped him from talking, and bowed back and said, "It's Li Duo, I don't know ......."
"Li Yu has heard of the name for a long time, and he welcomes Li Jun into the city here."
"The king of Germany welcomes him personally, and he is terrified."
In Li Duo's mind, King De was the mastermind behind the sneak attack on Changsha, if he hadn't personally led the troops to sneak attack, would he have been able to run to Hengyang?
It is impossible to say that he has no resentment in his heart.
It's just that Li Duo's city is extremely deep and won't show it.
"Li Jun, when I saw it today, it really deserved its name."
Seeing that Li Yu was so enthusiastic and deliberately flattered, Li Duo was very useful.
"His Royal Highness King Xie De is promoted, Li is only a literati, under the command of my lord, only with the assistance of all my heart, all my literati bones."
It means that I will start from the beginning, and I will not run away with others because of this defeat, we literati are characterful, and it is not my style to see different ideas.
Li Yu was not angry, but said with a smile: "Although Li Jun's words are not wrong, they are also flawed. β
"Oh?"
Of course Li Duo is not convinced, I pay attention to the style and bones, and the owner is still wrong in the end?
As the saying goes, a good bird chooses a tree to perch on, and a good person chooses the master to do things. Although Ma Yin is talented, he is not a master. β
"I have a three-hundred-year foundation in the Tang Dynasty, and I have benefited the world."
"Although there was a rebellion of the Wu clan in the past, there were eunuchs in the back, and there were many strong feudal clans."
"Yes, the orthodox Li Tang Jiangshan in the world."
"Although the current imperial court is weak and strong, there are my Nanyang, Jingxiang, and Jingnan branches, and after a while, we will collect strong vassals in the imperial court."
"Li Jun didn't see Yang Chong?"
"Yang Chong was originally an envoy of the Suining Festival, but now he has been taken back by the imperial court."
"Li Maozhen moved to Jingyuan."
"Isn't this the image of Datang Zhongxing?!"
Li Yuyue said that the happier he was in his heart.
Li Duo bowed his head in contemplation.
"Today's Ming lord is not a feudal town, not a hero, but the court of Zhongxing, which is my Nanyang."
"I don't know what Li Jun thinks?"
"This ......"
Li Duo wanted to refute, but he couldn't find strong evidence for a while, but after thinking about it carefully, this is indeed the situation now.
Isn't the lord he follows a benevolent lord? Could it be that my previous judgment was wrong?
"Li Jun, think about yourself, Li Mansion is fine, please go home and rest."
Li Yu said.
"Huh?"
Li Duo didn't expect his family home to be preserved.
The ministers who followed Ma Yin to Hengyang had already made up their minds to abandon their families and careers.
Who would have thought that King De did not raid his house?
He saluted Li Yushen, did not speak, and hurried into the city with the mission.
He didn't know the whereabouts of his family, and now that he knew, he had to rush back to see it first.
The old mother is still there, there are many wives and concubines, and there are many children, can you not worry?!
He hurried back to the house.
From a distance, I saw that there were soldiers on duty in front of the house, and there were no idle people in front of the door.
He was at ease.
Seeing him approaching, the soldiers stopped him directly, inquired about the situation, and called out the housekeeper in the house to confirm.
The housekeeper ran out, and when he saw that it was his master, he pulled Li Duo with a handful of snot and tears to say hello.
"Old butler, is the house okay?"
"Alright, alright."
The butler hurriedly replied.
"Let's go, let's go home first."
The soldiers did not hinder them.
Li Duo led everyone into the house, asked the housekeeper to arrange these attachΓ©s first, and he trotted to the backyard.
When I came to my mother's yard, I saw my mother walking in the courtyard with the support of Yahuan.
Li Duo said "Mother~~~"
He even crawled in front of the old lady, fell to his knees, stumbled on his head, and burst into tears.
The old lady was taken aback, and when she looked closely, it was her son who had gone out to fight.
"Son, you, why did you come back?"
"Mother, are you well?"
"Well, I'm fine, so don't worry."
"They, they don't have to be embarrassed at home, are they?"
The old lady doesn't look old, but she is not confused at all.
"No, as soon as they entered the city, they sent troops to guard the gate of the mansion, and those rebellious soldiers couldn't enter, everything was fine."
"Ah, that's good, that's good."
Li Duo listened to his mother's own story, and then he was relieved.
I heard that the old man was back, and after a while, dozens of people were crowded into the old lady's yard.
His wife and children surrounded him with great joy, and then cried again, and Li Duo comforted him one by one.
"Son, I feel that the people who beat Changsha this time are different."
"Mother, please advise."
"I think back then, which town soldiers entered the city instead of burning, killing and looting? This time, I heard that it was presided over by King De. The whole of Changsha is his soldiers. What kind of law did he practice? β
The old lady couldn't remember clearly, and turned her head to look for someone who understood.
"It's military law."
The butler leaned in.
"Oh? What's going on? You talk about it. β
Li Duo became interested.
"The king of Germany issued a proclamation and military law, and anyone who took advantage of the fire to rob, murder, arson, rob, and adulterer shall be beheaded."
"When the master entered the city, didn't he see anyone?"
Li Duo shook his head.
The steward added: "Some time ago, King De killed hundreds of people, and all the gates were full of human heads. β
"All his soldiers were killed?"
"Master, don't you know, our Changsha soldiers, they are not things."
"As soon as the war was lost, they killed and robbed, and Zhang Zhi's house on the corner of our street was robbed by them, and they also killed many people, and they were discovered by Sima of the German royal army and killed on the spot."
"Some of them even ganged up to rob the treasury, and they were also killed by the German king's army."
"Look at King De's soldiers, whoever violates military law will be merciless."
After the housekeeper finished speaking, he was still amazed.
"Yes, yes, King De is like a real court, how many years have I not seen such a disciplined army."
The old lady muttered and was helped into the room by Yahuan.
Li Duo recalled the words of his family, and began to ponder in his heart what King De said to him at the gate of the city.
He washed and changed his clothes in the mansion, ate his meal, and then left the mansion. Many of his other colleagues' families were also lost in the city, and he also had to go to find out the news.
When he went to the mansions with the mentality of trying it out, he found that not only his own family, but also the families of other officials were all in the mansion.
The mansions of the high-ranking families were guarded by special personnel, and the houses of ordinary officials were patrolled in the streets.
The whole Changsha is stable and stable.
The eastern and western cities are still bustling and lively.
The ruffians and bullies who were fighting on the streets of Changsha have all disappeared.
When I inquired about it from the side, it turned out that most of these people were arrested and killed by Sima, and some of them were sent to labor reform.
At this time, Li Duo's opinion of King De had changed, and he believed his statement a little.
In the afternoon, Li Duo took the people of the mission to the Jiedu Embassy and handed over the relevant procedures.
Get notice, tomorrow formal peace talks.
However, he said that Li Yu was in the Jiedu envoy's mansion and the two old men to discuss his plan in detail.
"Father-in-law, although Ma Yin is not talented, he has a lot of capable people."
"Oh? Is the virtuous son-in-law attracted to his men? β
"Father-in-law, my court is employing people, as long as they change their course and are willing to contribute to the court, why not?!"
"What does the virtuous son-in-law need us to do?"
Zhao Kuangning knew that this son-in-law had an idea, so he just had to cooperate with him.
"Hehe, two fathers-in-law, just let me dispose of their families."
"Well, okay, I'll leave you at your disposal."
Zhao Kuangming waved his hand and gave it to Li Yu.
You must know that in the war of this era, the enemy's family members are all spoils of war and can be disposed of at will.
Li Yu wants to dispose of these family members, which is equivalent to giving him these family members and family property.
Li Yu thanked his father-in-law, and he visited him one by one according to the list.
As long as he agrees with the imperial court, he will ask his family to write a letter, and Li Yu will send it to Hengyang.
Whatever the effect, at least he has earned a reputation as a benevolent and righteous king.
After all, Ma Yin still has several states in his hands, and he also has a certain strength.
Plant some seeds within them first, and who knows which seed will sprout?
Wouldn't it be nice to lay a foundation for yourself to recover these states and counties when the time comes?
Some people wanted to move their families to Hengyang, Li Yu did not stop them, and asked the soldiers to escort them to Hengshan County, and if they didn't want to leave, Li Yu also let them stay and continue to live a good life.
All of a sudden, there was an undercurrent surging in Hengyang City.
Some people are alive in their hearts and want to vote for Li Yu, and although some people are still working under Ma Yin, their gratitude to Li Yu is hidden in their hearts.
Ma Yin also got the gossip, he didn't dare to slack off, scattered the money, and appeased the old and young families, so that the turbulent army could calm down a little.
