Chapter 962: Civil Strife in Xiongzhou (Plus Update)

As soon as the dragon army entered the city, they fulfilled this wish, and the people were smiling and rejoicing.

Sending supplies into the city is just the first step, followed by the streets and plastered with notices, which explain that the third construction brigade of the Dragon Empire will enter the city in ten days, at that time, whether it is to build roads or houses, a lot of manpower is needed, and the people can sign up independently, as long as they are laborers, they will be rewarded for their efforts in a day-by-day manner, and at that time, they can buy what they need when they have money, which can make life better.

At the same time, the notice also stated that if a young man is willing to join the Dragon Army, once he has passed the assessment, he will directly get the status of a peasant soldier and enjoy the treatment of 40 yuan a month of salary and dragon coins.

Forty yuan dragon coins, calculated according to two cents per liter of coarse grain, that is, two cents per bucket, can buy two hundred buckets of grain.

According to the five cents of a liter of fine grain, and five cents per bucket, you can buy eighty buckets of fine grain.

As soon as the notice came out, the entire Bazhou City was boiling, especially the army registration office, which was even more crowded.

From men over the age of 50 to boys over the age of 11 or twelve, they all bravely signed up for the army. Although these men who do not seem to meet the standard of age know that the probability of being selected is low, it is always necessary to give it a try, because the pay for being a soldier is too desirable.

If one person in the family can join the Dragon Army, will it really achieve the purpose of feeding the family and eating coarse grains?

And if two people in the family can join the army, won't the other people left behind be able to eat fine food?

Eating fine grain every day, even those gentry and landlords in the city couldn't do it before, but now ordinary people can achieve it through hard work, who isn't excited?

The enthusiasm of the people in the city made them accept the arrival of the dragon army as quickly as possible, and soon, everyone became one and became their own family. And the change of the people of Bazhou has also been publicized and continues to infiltrate other cities in the Northland.

Especially after learning that he was willing to become a propagandist of the Dragon Army, was willing to go to other cities to promote the policies of the Dragon Army, and could also earn forty yuan of dragon coins in a month, those who signed up for the army and were brushed down had a new way out. Every day, outside the city gate, the people of Bazhou with dry food went out of the city, and their purpose was to tell all the people of the northern city what happened here.

Psychological warfare and public opinion warfare were in the hands of the Dragon Army, and they played very skillfully, and the Dragon Army became more famous because of this, and in a very short period of time, the name of the Dragon Army's benevolence and righteousness really spread to the reputation of the Han people.

Xiongzhou City, located in the south of Bazhou, the distance between the two sides is not too far.

When Bazhou was liberated, the atmosphere in Xiongzhou City became tense, and anyone with a discerning eye knew that the next target of the Dragon Army was likely to be here.

After the important position of Xiongzhou City was highlighted, the first thing to usher in was an inspection team of 100 people, whose captain was named Wang Pestle, who was a member of Wang Xin's personal soldiers.

After Wang Pestle came here, he immediately met Sun You, the general of Xiongzhou, and accompanied by him, inspected the city defense.

Sun is one of the fierce generals under Wang Xin, Xiongzhou is a big city, and the city defense situation is still very good, at least Wang Pestle nodded with satisfaction after seeing it.

Wang Pestle was satisfied, and Sun also breathed a long sigh of relief, he knew very well what the task of the inspection team was, these people came with Shang Fang's sword, if they were not satisfied, I was afraid that he might be removed from his post at any time.

After inspecting the city defense, the group walked around the city, and Sun had already arranged a welcome banquet to entertain the king and his party.

Just as they were walking down the street, an accident suddenly appeared, and a group of people gathered together, looking very lively.

"What's going on, let's go see what's going on." With curiosity, Wang Pestle said to General Sun You, who was following on the side.

Sun didn't know what was going on, but he was also curious, so he nodded, and then the hundreds of people in their group walked straight to the side of the crowd.

Some officers and soldiers came, and some of the people who were watching the excitement saw them, and some of the timid ones turned around and ran, disappearing into the street.

There are also those who are bold, but they don't care, but continue to watch, as if there is really something that can deeply attract them.

Among the crowd surrounded by the people, there were three people in it, and they were also dressed as ordinary people, but what they said was not something that ordinary people could say.

"Let me tell you, all the people in our Bazhou City now have eaten fine grain and white flour."

"Yes, I can testify." After one person finished speaking, among the other onlookers, there was a questioning voice, and seeing this, another person from Bazhou hurriedly spoke, saying with a look of assurance.

"That's right, not only did we eat fine grain and meat, but the Dragon Army also promised us that the next team of the Dragon Empire would enter Bazhou, and it would take a lot of manpower to build houses and roads, and at that time, we would all be able to work and make money. It's still a day, and I heard that the reward for a day is not less than one yuan of dragon coins. By the way, do you know how much you can buy for one dollar dragon coin? Let me tell you, one yuan can buy 50 liters of coarse grain and 20 liters of fine grain, and this is still a day's income, every day, think about it, will we still starve in the future?"

The other of the three watched as more and more people watched, so he fulfilled his role as a propagandist and told everything he knew.

The three of them are indeed from Bazhou, and they are still here as propagandists.

They can come not only because they can get a reward of forty yuan a month for dragon coins, they will come here, but also because they have relatives in Xiongzhou City, since it is a good thing, of course everyone should share it together.

The three of them were still talking excitedly, it was spitting and flying, and they were excited.

The onlookers were also yearning for it, and some even asked about specific things, such as whether the Long Army was really that good, whether it was good for the Han people, and whether they would hurt the people in the city.

"The dragon army is very good, not only do they not hurt us, but they also chop wood and sweep the yard and fetch water for us. The big water tank in my house, because it's too big, is rarely full, but since the dragon army came, it was full all of a sudden, hehe. Of course, I'm not very diligent." The propagandist laughed heavily, and also revealed his shortcomings, which immediately attracted bursts of laughter from the onlookers.

But sometimes the more this is the case, the more it can resonate with other people.

Ordinary people, who doesn't have a shortcoming? If you say that you are a saint, you will not be convinced by others.

The people of Bazhou and the people of Xiongzhou are like this, I will answer your questions, and when they were chatting happily, Wang Pestle, who was watching outside, finally heard what these people said.

Unexpectedly, the three people who were surrounded turned out to be speaking for the Dragon Army, so they were equivalent to meticulous work, even if this was the case, what would they wait for if they were not arrested. Not only that, but they were also executed on the spot as an example.

Sun You, who was following on the side, also figured out what was going on, his face was stunned at the moment, he didn't doubt the authenticity of what the three people from Bazhou said, he wasn't thinking about these now, what he was worried about was that Wang Pestle was following aside, and these three people should be unlucky.

Just when Sun Youyou thought of this, Wang Pestle had already moved, and he saw him say to the hundred inspectors he brought with him: "Come on, arrest these three people, and these onlookers who are watching the excitement, also arrest them and put them in prison."

Wang Pestle's words, and hundreds of inspectors rushed forward one by one with sabers and formed a large circle around the periphery.

Suddenly, officers and soldiers rushed over and surrounded them, and among the onlookers, many of them became very difficult to look at, they did not expect that they would be touched by officers and soldiers by such a coincidence.

The three propagandists from Bazhou also saw the scene happening outside, and their faces were a little ugly, but they were not so flustered, they had thought about the possible results long before they decided to be propagandists. But they still came, not only because the dragon army paid them, but also because they felt that the dragon army was really good for the Han people, so they thought they should do something.

"Don't mess around, they want to arrest people, let them arrest the three of us, you are all innocent, you should be released."

The propagandist stood up and took the initiative to express his attitude.

If it was only the Xiongzhou Army who came, it was likely that they would have done so, because it was likely that among the onlookers, there would be their families. But it's the inspector team, so that's a different story.

"The three of you must die, and the others will be arrested and investigated. Wait until someone takes bail for you and pays enough bail money before you can be released." After Wang Pestle heard the propagandist's shout, a sarcasm flashed in his eyes, but he has the final say here, he can do whatever he wants, and he doesn't have to listen to other people's opinions at all.

This time, Wang Pestle came, in addition to the inspector, there was also an important task that was to make money.

In the past, when they were General Wang Xin's personal soldiers, Wang Pestle and them looked very majestic, but in fact, life was still very hard, and their living conditions were only slightly better than ordinary soldiers.

The so-called thousands of miles of officials are only for money.

Now that we have the opportunity to release and make money, wouldn't it be useless?

These are all white money sent to the door, and if you catch so many people, you will definitely be able to make a lot of money. Faced with such a good opportunity, how could Wang Pestle give up?

The king had such a shout, and when he heard the ears of the onlookers, their faces changed greatly. Is this going to put yourself in jail and ask for money? But they don't have any money in their house, so don't they say that they will be locked up all the time?

"S: Thank you lxiaoj111 for your reward to the Great Song, and there are six chapters in special addition, and this is the fifth chapter."
