As Zhou Bai expected, the city gate was waiting for him if it didn't open.

Qu Zhi, the commander of the army, is obviously not qualified to receive Bei'an City, and those people in the city see very clearly that this city is the best gift for their new lord, and it is very important to give it to whom.

The late spring wind blows away the gloom, and the bright sun shines on the whole city.

Before a stick of incense was struck, the city gate suddenly opened, and several gentry in brocade robes with harmless smiles on their faces were in front.

Behind them are the people of the county town who are neatly lined up and worried in their hearts, and they can be tossed a lot during this time, and the overwhelming stone bullets are simply everyone's nightmare.

However, the image created by Zhou Bai before is too good, the people of Beidafeng in the county live and work in peace and contentment, they have some expectations, but they really have a warm atmosphere to welcome the king.

Each of them brought food and drink as a reward on both sides of the road, showing his respectful welcome to the new Lord.

Zhou Bai's gaze first looked at the people, and he was relieved to find that there was not too much rejection and hatred.

In a sense, he was the one who took the initiative to attack the city, and during the siege during this period of time, he also caused damage to the city and injured a lot of mistakes.

Of course, Zhou Bai believes that after a period of governance, a better and better life will eliminate all grievances.

The broad will of the people can be put aside for the time being, and these people who are the leaders are the actual representatives of the current people's will, and they must be cared about.

Zhou Bai wanted to unify Bei'an, so he naturally made sufficient preparations and recognized who they were at a glance.

It is nothing more than the head of the big family in Bei'an City, the county Wang Chen family, the county Wang family, and the county Hao Qi family......

Da Da ~ Da Da ~ The scene suddenly quieted down, only the sound of tapping on the scene remained, and Zhou Yuan, Gao Hu, Jiao Tu, Qu Zhi, and the generals, with a group of murderous and awe-inspiring soldiers, followed a few steps behind.

The scene is already a serious entry horse, the blood is majestic and tall, and the white gas spewed up the dust on the ground, Zhou Bai rode on the back of this big horse, adding a bit of majesty.

In a short time, he had already ridden in front of the gentry masters, and a sense of oppression came to him.

The power was so powerful that he didn't dare to look up for a while, so he leaned down and knelt down to meet him.

Boom, followed by rows of human walls behind, who also knelt down and chanted.

"I'll wait to meet the Demon General!"

Unlike the gentry, what Zhou Bai felt was not oppression, but surrender to the surging people, which is the difference between the luck of the "lord and minister".

The attitude of the representatives of the "people's heart" was very good, and Zhou Bai no longer held the shelf, turned over and dismounted, and stepped forward to help them up one by one.

"Hurry up, it's too late to rescue you, and it's my fault."

The heavy power that overwhelmed them just now disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by Zhou Bai's gentle and kind words, which made people feel like a spring breeze.

Several family heads glanced at each other, understood Zhou Bai's attitude, and began to take turns to give gifts.

Chen Xian, the head of the Chen family, held a wooden box and said respectfully: "Lin Ren, a staff member of the pseudo-Jiedu Mansion, tried in vain to prevent Wang Shi from entering the city, and now he is offering his head here." ”

Zhou Bai opened the corner of the wooden box, and it was Lin Ren, the great strategist who helped Sun Yucheng stir up the storm in his previous life, and now he died so easily.

However, he is also a little emotional at most, after all, the trajectory of life is so unpredictable, and it is difficult to get back on track if you take a wrong step.

Then the other gentry presented the keys to the treasury, the keys to the granaries, the yellow book of the population, the fish scale atlas of the folk fields, and so on.

After learning of Sun Yucheng's defeat, in just one night, the key areas and important powers in the city were all in the hands of the big households.

This is why Zhou Bai believes that the few people in front of him are the representatives of the people in the city now.

No matter how you deal with them in the future, for the time being, you have to stabilize them first.

Zhou Bai asked people to accept all the things as ordered, and then laughed and said: "Hahaha, these gifts have saved me a lot of trouble, and I still need more advice from the princes in the future, and the great Bei'an can not do without you." ”

"Where, where...... That's what we're supposed to do. ”

The big gentry all showed their faces, and it was the turn of the power of the Jiedu Mansion, that is, the previous "official".

When the Sun family's father and son killed each other, the civil and military officials had already been cleaned up, and then they were cleaned up by these gentry forces in the city.

Lin Ren, the only person who can barely be in charge of the festival, was also killed because of the obstruction, and now there are only three or two small fish left who come out to ask for surrender, and there is not a single official who leads the official of the serious Jiedu Mansion.

In the end, it could only be a few scribes with trembling bodies, respectfully offering the Great Seal of the Bei'an Festival and completing the process of inviting surrender.

As for the three or four thousand dejected soldiers next to him, who put down their weapons and captured them in turn, they were just a background board that was ignored.

Zhou Bai just glanced at these surrendered soldiers, and made a conclusion in his heart that being his militia was too redundant.

They were all ruffian hooligans who were captured by Sun Yucheng, and they were simply used to fill the numbers, and their spirit was completely dissipated, and their physical fitness was also extremely poor.

After all, I didn't even bring them with me in last night's decisive battle, so it can be seen that they are not trustworthy.

After the process was completed, Zhou Bai got the Great Seal of Jiedu, and immediately realized the weight of the Great Seal, as if there was a thousand catties of heavy burden on his back.

Carefully detailed, printed on the back of the top type, the four slopes are engraved with four lion patterns with different postures.

The back is raised in the slope-like two-layer platform, a squatting lion is cast as a button, the lion's head is slightly raised, the hair is draped behind, the eyes are level, the mouth is slightly closed and the teeth are exposed, the chest is protruding, and the tail is drooping on the right rear side, a single frame.

The silver lion button, the standard feudal town festival seal, the specification is one layer higher, it is the gold seal that can only be used by the king or the lord of the country.

This is the carrier of the luck of the entire Bei'an County, and it is also the sustenance of a small number of people who still have their hearts towards the orthodoxy of the imperial court.

If Zhou Bai now announces his succession as the envoy of the Bei'an Festival and gives orders with a large number, it will be logical to immediately take over an intact Bei'an County.

Because judging from the current situation in the imperial court, Zhou Bai wants to be an envoy, so he will definitely not refute it, and it is not even good to appease him again.

This is a real rumor, not a matter of slowly sorting out the decrees, using bumper harvests, tax cuts, and defending against foreign enemies to make everyone come to their hearts.

Suddenly, the lion on the Great Seal seemed to come to life, and a domineering lion roar sounded in the dark.

With this lion's roar, Zhou Bai's heart actually gave birth to boundless temptation of power.

It's as if this lion button festival is urging him to return to the court and enjoy the name of orthodoxy.

Raise the big seal, you can call on Bei'an......

Zhou Bai also really raised the Great Seal of Jiedu at this moment, and Chen Xian and Wang Yong, the heads of the county wang family who knew some secrets, had a somewhat complicated face.

Could it be that this is really going to succeed the envoy?

Luck is deeply implicated, and if you want to get out, it's not like resigning from the government before, and now this unscrupulous behavior will no longer exist.

However, when Zhou Bai held up the Great Seal of Jiedu, the words he announced were not what they thought.

"From now on, I will be called the Governor of Anbei, and change the Bei'an Jiedu Mansion to the Anbei Governor's Mansion, and this Jiedu Great Seal will be cast into the Metropolitan Governor's Great Seal."

"See the Governor of Anbei." Without waiting for the others to react, General Zhou Yuan was already leading the army of demons to kneel.

Is this self-reliance?

However, Zhou Bai is in power, and the gentry owners who have been hinted at and promised before, where will they raise objections.

hurriedly followed and knelt down to worship, and General Fu Mo didn't call anymore, but just called Zhou Bai's self-styled new name.

Governor of Anbei.

Ruling the mortal world in the name of the Demon General's Mansion is always separated by a layer, and now that Zhou Baigang calls himself the Governor of Anbei, he has realized the will of heaven in the dark in an instant.

The struggle for the dragon has always been a matter within humanity, in which there is the concern and blessing of the general trend of humanity, not just the supreme heavenly way.

Seeing that Zhou Bai claimed to be the governor of Anbei, he was in a good mood, and immediately someone who was good at observing words and emotions played: "Whether the governor enters the city now, the people in the city are looking forward to the king for a long time." ”

"Order, the army enters the city, post a notice to reassure the people, and if there is anyone who disturbs the people, military law will be carried out!" Zhou Bai bowed slightly, waved his big hand, and the army behind him began to drive into the city in an orderly manner.

The gentry and nobles hanging behind looked at the backs of Zhou Bai and the army and discussed in a low voice.

A county tycoon family head took the lead in asking: "What do you think of this name that Zhou Fumo pulled out?" ”

"Wonderful, wonderful." Wang Yong, the head of the county, said decisively.

"Didn't you take off the name of the heavenly court and do things in the name of the master, so it's wonderful?"

"That's right, this is a celestial, but he wants to do things like hidden dragons, so he needs the title of governor......"

Wang Yong was noncommittal about other people's speeches, and turned to Chen Xianfa and asked, "What about the head of the Chen family, what do you think is the best?" “

The Bei'an Chen family and the Pingcang Chen family are one in the sky and one underground, the former is an old wealthy family that existed when Bei'an County was just established, while the latter is just an ordinary county wealthy family.

Chen Xian is also a faintly recognized leader among the big households, and yesterday he was the first to decisively order to kill Lin Ren to control Jiedu Mansion.

Facing everyone's eyes, Chen Xian looked like he was holding a wisdom bead, and only after a moment did he explain lightly: "The best thing is that the word Anbei in the Governor of Anbei, Bei'an, Anbei, it seems that the words are just reversed in an order, but it is a real name gap." ”

"The Governor of Northern Andu, the restriction is too rigid, and it can only be used to control a county, which is not conducive to the next development. However, the foundation of the founding system and the title of king is too insufficient, and the pattern of luck cannot bear it.

"Yes, the word Anbei is used to replace the titles of princes and princes, but it is just right. If it is small, it can be the north of Dingzhou, and if it is large, the entire northern border is not unavoidable......"

These gentry thought that the conversation was secret, but they didn't know that Zhou Bai had been paying attention to them.

However, Zhou Bai agreed with Chen Xian's statement, and he wanted to use the title of Governor of Anbei as the main master.

It's just that it won't take too long, and when the time comes, the country will be established, and where will it wait until the entire northern territory is conquered, and the name of the governor of Anbei will be used.

Of course, the most important thing is to claim to be self-proclaimed, and do not use the name of the imperial court.

Otherwise, as long as you want to be independent in the future, you will greatly damage the people's hearts, and you will lose money in righteousness, and other hidden dragon heroes will also take advantage of this to make a fuss.

In my memory, there was a big man in Lanxing, who was a minister of the court until his death because of the nominal constraints.

Zhou Bai took the words of the heads of the family to heart, and he never forgot the words of the people.

"These demon armies are so powerful, no wonder the Sun family can't beat them."

"The old man can be regarded as traveling from south to north, and he has seen and heard a lot, but he has never seen such a strict military appearance, and he marches as one."

"In the troubled times, we Bei'an people may really usher in a male lord who can protect everyone to live safely."

"Greetings to the Governor, greetings to the king!"

The people of the county town were amazed and appreciative, which made the chests of the soldiers entering the city straighter and straighter, and they walked in unison more tacitly.

Who would have thought that these township babies would settle in the central city of the entire Bei'an County with the attitude of "masters" today.

Who brought them this glory was Zhou Bai, so when Zhou Bai entered the city from the middle of the military column, the atmosphere of the people was warm, and the morale of all the soldiers was also extremely high.

The few family heads who followed behind couldn't help but wonder if their new governor was now the emperor, and these big-headed soldiers would also swear to follow.

However, no matter what the atmosphere is created, the real environment of the city is difficult to see.

For the first time, the counterweight giant trebuchet was applied to the future political and economic center of Zhou Bai, the Bei'an City in front of him.

As far as the eye can see, there are ruins, countless houses have been destroyed, and there are almost no intact buildings on the street, and there are dilapidated everywhere.

And because of the continuous siege war, the garbage could not be cleaned up, and the filth of people and animals was piled up in the corners, and the stench was stinking.

Therefore, the first order given by Zhou Bai after entering the city was to remove all the armor except for the troops on duty in important areas.

In the shortest possible time, we will strive to help the people rebuild their homes, restore the cleanliness and tidiness of Bei'an City, and recreate the lively and prosperous time.

As the soldiers and soldiers ignored the mess and went deep into the ruins to clean up, the people of Bei'an City also had a strange feeling in their hearts, maybe this army was really different.

"Fellow villagers, we are responsible for building the house you were smashed!"

"Come, slaughter the remaining cattle of the camp and give them to the people as a gift of atonement for our sins......

In the center of the city, the former Bei'an County Mansion Yamen, the original Bei'an Jiedu Yamen, and now the Anbei Governor's Mansion.

This is the only place where the city has time to clean up, even if the traces of sword collision on the pillar are clearly visible, and the smell of blood can be smelled from time to time, Zhou Bai has no scruples to settle in directly.

As long as he sits on the seat of the government office, it represents the official establishment of the Anbei Governor's Office, and it means that the Governor's Office will begin to manage the entire Bei'an County.

A series of messengers were sent to the north to deliver good news, with Zhou Bai's decree, so that the general's palace yamen was relocated as a whole; To the south, many people have been shouting that the transmission can be determined, and Zhou Bai's handwritten persuasion document will be delivered to the four counties in the south of the county.

Just when Zhou Bai was busy dealing with the affairs accumulated in the army, Li Yuan and Yao An, who had finished investigating the situation, came together.

"Report, lord, the ancestral house of the Sun family is full of blood, there are indeed no living people, and there are one hundred and thirty-two descendants, all of whom were sacrificed by blood."

"The person who presided over the blood sacrifice was Bu Yuanzi, who sat in the ancestral hall of the Sun clan and operated the blood sacrifice evil array, and now he has been devoured by luck and his soul is scattered."
