Chapter 5: After the Break
After receiving the assistant reward, Su Yan couldn't wait to summon the civil official rewarded by the system and received him in the back hall of the county office.
The civil official's name is Liu Wenmin, dressed in a gray collared robe, wearing a square scarf common to scholars, and a goatee lightly pinched with his right hand.
[Civil official: Liu Wenmin.]
Age: 28
Territory Governance Ability: ☆☆☆☆
Attribute: Former Dynasty Jinshi (Territory Governance Ability +2)]
"Subordinate Liu Wenmin, meet the lord!" Liu Wenmin touched the ground and said respectfully.
Seeing this, Su Yan hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, and said sincerely: "Sir, please get up, with Mr. to help me, like a tiger with wings, why worry about the great cause?" ”
Although Liu Wenmin was rewarded by the system, Su Yan did not belittle the other party because of this, Liu Wenmin saw his attitude, he was immediately moved, stood up along Su Yan, and said: "Lord, before coming, my subordinates have already understood the customs and customs of this place, as well as the current situation of our army. ”
"Good!" Su Yan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Then please ask Mr. to temporarily take care of the county affairs and appease the people here for our army as soon as possible, I hope to see the people on the streets again tomorrow." ”
"Subordinates receive orders." Liu Wenmin raised his hand and said.
Su Yan nodded, and then said: "I will appoint two people from the general's guard as your guards, you can go to the treasury to check the account books and rosters of this county first, and the surrendered county magistrate Wang Bang will also be handed over to you for disposal, I believe you can get more favorable news from him." ”
After sending Liu Wenmin away, Su Yan opened the system space again and checked the newly unlocked functions about the city.
[Dehua County - the capital
Dingkou: 4447 (the number of strong men who can be recruited)
Security: 80% (Good)
Taxes: 15%
Income: 1782
Owned: County Office, Township Yongying, Cobblestone Road, Tavern, Small Arms Arsenal (not deployed)
Buildable Buildings: Barracks (750), Artillery Foundry (750)
Conscriptable Classes: Militia, Spearmen]
After reading the interface of the city, Su Yan suddenly thought of a question: "System, how long does it take to build a building?" ”
[The actual time of one round conversion is one month]
"A month? At the speed of the system, wouldn't it be that by the time I pulled up an army with guns and cannons, the Qing army would have already wiped out Nanming.
Then I will help the Ming to resist the Qing Dynasty and help a ghost! ”
Su Yan couldn't help but complain.
I thought that my complaining system would not answer, but I didn't expect that after Su Yan finished speaking, the faint voice of the system actually sounded again.
[Didn't the host think about claiming to be the emperor and establishing a dynasty? 】
"Huh?"
Before Su Yan could react, the new task released by the system fell directly on his head.
[Release the ultimate mission (1): Occupy the eighteen provinces of the Han Dynasty and claim the founding of the emperor.]
Reward: Unknown
Mission Failure: The mission was not completed before 1700, and the system and the host were destroyed. 】
“????”
"Isn't it, the system just forced me to assign a task?" Su Yan was dumbfounded.
Even if you release a new task, what's the matter if you fail the mission and end up with him?
[This ultimate task is to encourage the host to actively resist the Manchu Qing and establish a Han dynasty, and the task cannot be completed before 1700, and the system automatically judges that the host is unable to continue to complete the task, and there is no meaning in survival]
…… It doesn't have to be so straightforward.
However, what the system said also makes sense, in 1700 he was already 71 years old, which is already considered an advanced age in this era, and he will die at any time, what else is the world?
In any case, in order not to be dragged to the end by the system, Su Yan still has to work hard to complete this ultimate task before 1700......
After collecting his thoughts, Su Yan continued to look at the system panel, the two buildings that can be built at the moment can be built at the same time, and both can be completed in just one round, that is, a month.
As a result, Su Yan put these two buildings into construction, and recruited two spearmen to strengthen the army's melee combat capabilities.
In East Asia, which is still dominated by cold weapons, it is difficult for an army with pure firearms to gain a foothold, especially when they are facing the strongest Eight Banners in East Asia, and they must match a certain proportion of cold-weapon soldiers in the army to protect the fragile riflemen who have not yet developed bayonets.
Speaking of cold weapon soldiers, Su Yan remembered those green battalion soldiers who surrendered, after the six hundred and seventy-seven soldiers who surrendered had experienced this battle, there were still six hundred and fifty-one people, and after the construction of the army barracks was completed, they would be sent in together for transformation, and he would dare to continue to march south, attack Yongchun Anxi, and point directly at Quanzhou Mansion.
Just when Su Yan was thinking about the plan for the second half of the year, a series of footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door, Su Yan retracted his mind, looked out of the door, and saw a guard walk in, knelt on one knee, hugged his fists and said: "General, the local gentry are asking to see outside the yamen." ”
"The local gentry?" Su Yan was stunned and said, "Take them to the front hall, I'll be there in a while." ”
The soldier then took the order and left, Su Yan sorted out his military uniform, and walked towards the front hall.
When he reached the door of the front hall, the room was already full of people dressed in silk and satin, and when they saw a young man in a strange costume appearing at the door, escorted by two soldiers with guns, they all got up from their seats, gathered around, and talked nonsense.
Su Yan frowned slightly in annoyance of their slugs, and at this moment, one of them, a thin old man, made a silent gesture to the others, and said to Su Yan:
"You are the general Su who led the righteous army to recover the county, he has long admired the name, the old man is Li Sirun, the head of the Li family in the west of the city, I heard that the general entered the city to restrain his subordinates, and he did not commit any crime in autumn, and specially sent a thousand taels of silver, ten zhang of cloth, ten porcelain, thirty sheep, fifty chickens and ducks, and three hundred stones of grain, to reward the brothers of the righteous army, which is also the heart of the gentry of this county."
"I'm tired." Su Yan was also shocked by the performance of these gentry, since the other party released his goodwill first, he also clenched his fists and said with a smile: "Your kindness, Su Yan understands it, I can assure you that as long as you do not violate the laws of the Ming Dynasty, our army will naturally not commit any offense to your industry." ”
"Da Ming Law?"
The squires looked at each other, but they didn't expect this group of rebels to be so exquisite, but now they all use the "Great Qing Laws" compiled and completed by Shunzhi three years ago, who will follow the "Great Ming Laws" of the previous dynasty?
Although he couldn't stop slandering in his heart, the gentry hurriedly nodded yes, and Su Yan continued: "The puppet dynasty ordered the shaving of hair and easy to wear, intending to subvert the ethics of my Celestial Empire, and the money rat tail is even more unsightly. ”
"This ......" When the squires thought of the bloody butcher's knife of the Qing army, they wanted to say something to refuse, but then looked at the muzzle of the black hole in the hands of the two soldiers behind Su Yan, and they couldn't say anything about refusal, so they could only agree against their will.
