The thoughts and eyes of the people at the bottom have never been too long-term, and they have always looked at the situation in front of them for a few days, and when they temporarily master the sword soldiers and violent machines, it is inevitable that they will suddenly get rich and at a loss.

Under the slogan of the White Lotus burning the city and Maitreya's incarnation, when the Jizhou Mansion was captured, the entire White Lotus Sect was filled with a sense of excitement and madness, everyone looted in the city, indulged in killing, and vented their selfish desires.

But this is not a reason for Xu Hongru's failure, and he does not intend to blame himself for the fault.

"It's really because of Wang Qi and his people, he is too tough!" When Xu Hongru fled from Jizhou Mansion with his personal guards, he looked back and saw that Wang Qi had begun to enter Jizhou Mansion with a large army, and tens of thousands of Liaodong refugees, as well as the people who survived Jizhou Mansion, all walked out to greet them, and the entire outer city and avenue had been crowded out.

Almost everyone was cheering Wang Qi's name.

The refugees in Liaodong cheered Wang Qi, because in the eyes of the people of Liaodong, he Wang Qi was the savior of Liaodong.

And the people of Jizhou Mansion greeted Wang Qi, it was really because he was rescued in a desperate situation, the people's hearts were agitated, and Han Yi, the deputy assistant of the cabinet, came with troops, and he did not hold out for almost a day, and the city gate was wide open, causing the people to suffer. Later, Wang Qi rushed to save Jizhou Mansion and saved the people from being deceived by thieves.

After all, if Wang Qi came a day late, then the situation would be completely different, and Jizhou Mansion would definitely be full of corpses, and the blood would be drifting.

"On behalf of the people of the city, thank you Langguo Gong for saving your life!" At the gate of Jizhou Mansion, an old man was supported by someone, came to Wang Qi's side, and bowed deeply. Li Guangzhen, a person from Jizhou Mansion, a Jinshi in the eleventh year of Wanli, a former official to the Ministry of Rites, a scholar in the forty-third year of Wanli, a teacher in the end of the road, for the benefit of the township, Jizhou area, has a high prestige.

Behind him, there are the same knowledge and general judgment of Jizhou Mansion, as well as the officials of the Thousand Households of the Guard, etc., the war in Jizhou Mansion is declining, and the officials are unable to escape punishment, so seeing Wang Qi is like a mouse seeing a cat, hiding behind, not daring to step forward.

"I'm tired of Mr. Li, but the court ordered me to come here to relieve the distress of Jizhou Mansion, and I can't say anything hard," Wang Qi sat on the horse and answered Li Guangzhen's words, and then his eyes swept over several officials behind Li Guangzhen: "The chaotic people have just withdrawn, and the city is not stable, what about the Jizhou prefect?" Tell him to come to me! ”

Several fellow acquaintances, the general judgment, the scribe heard Wang Qi's inquiry, and they all knelt on the ground: "The lower officials don't know where the prefect has gone. The lower officials have been desperately resisting the enemy these days, protecting the Li people, please be aware of it! ”

Wang Qi sneered: "Desperately resist the enemy? I see that you are neatly dressed, with white jade hair crowns, and there is no trace of desperate fighting with the enemy! ”

"Someone!" Wang Qi immediately beckoned his men over.

"The last general!" Wang Shouxin stepped forward.

"Strip these people of their clothes first, throw them in prison, and then review them later!"

"Yes!"

Wang Shouxin gave an order, and several soldiers stepped forward, stripped off the clothes of several officials of Jizhou Prefecture, and directly dragged the ground in front of tens of thousands of people, ignoring the begging and scolding of these officials.

Before entering the city, you must first stand up to deter Xiaoxiao.

"Lord Hundred Households!" At this time, the refugees from Liaodong also appeared at the gate of the city, squeezing forward, wanting to talk to Wang Qi: "We are all from refugees, I heard that you have brought troops to the Baihu Officials, we are really happy in our hearts, this time the official army counterattacked the White Lotus Sect, we also made a great effort, please Mingjian!" ”

Hearing the voice of the refugees from Liaodong, the people of Jizhou Mansion, who had been quiet, became angry, and immediately returned: "You have helped? You didn't burn and loot with the rebels?!! Didn't you take the opportunity to rob? Sun Yuanwai's family of more than 30 people, all died at the hands of the White Lotus Sect? ”

"We are all going to starve to death, and that big family is reluctant to give a grain of grain, if he doesn't die, who will die! Will you wait for me food for them? ”

As soon as the refugees from Liaodong appeared, they clashed with the people of Jizhou Prefecture.

"Quiet!" Wang Qi sat on the horse, and when he saw this chaotic situation, his brows furrowed.

The entire city gate was immediately silent.

"What's your name?" Wang Qi looked at the leading Liaodong refugee and asked.

"Grass people Qiu Tong," Qiu Tong heard Wang Qi talking to him, and immediately bowed to Wang Qi with respect on his face: "Meet Lang Guogong!" ”

"Can you gather all the refugees from Liaodong?" Wang Qi saw the recklessness of this life, but a large group of Liaodong people behind him were all headed by him, and it seemed that this person was a leader among the refugees.

"If you go back to the adult, if it is just a gathering, the grass people are familiar with the fellow villagers in Liaodong, and one day is enough," Qiu Tong didn't know what Wang Qi wanted to do, but it didn't matter, just answer!

"Okay, I order you to be the consul general of the outer city of Jizhou Mansion, gather all the refugees outside the city first, and I will send someone to camp for you and live first," Wang Qi nodded Qiu Tong with the long whip in his hand: "Remember my words, these days, settle down, let the people of Liaodong not make trouble!" When this is over, I will take you back to Liaodong. ”

"Your Excellency!" A sentence back to Liaodong made Qiu Tong's eyes moisten instantly.

Who wouldn't want to go home sooner?

Who wants to be deceived in a foreign land?

It's all forced by facts, and it's a last resort!

Now Wang Qi said, 'I'll take you back to Liaodong', so that everyone broke the defense in an instant.

"The people of Liaodong, thank you for your great kindness! It's hard to repay death! ”

"Thank you, Lord Baihu!"

"Woo woo woo hundred households!"

For a while, the entire outer city of Jizhou Mansion cried because of Wang Qi's words, and the cry shook the sky, and there was a lot of sadness.

"Alright, let's get ready! Don't let people gather here," Wang Qi waved his hand, asking Qiu Tong to take the people away and gather the refugees.

"The grass people are going, this is going!" Qiu Tong knocked his head three times, then got up and bowed down again before leading people to retreat.

"Mr. Li," Wang Qi looked at Li Guangzhen again.

"Lang Guogong's request is" Hearing Wang Qi call his name, Li Daruxin hurriedly opened his mouth to answer, Wang Qi just operated it, and he had already made everyone feel what it means to be both grace and power, and what is authority and might.

"Is there food in the city?" Wang Qi asked.

"These days, the grain in the treasury has been looted, but when the chaotic people retreat, it should not be too late to take it all, and some of it is left, in addition, the big families in the city should also have some grain in stock, which should be well preserved," Li Guangzhen didn't dare to tell a lie to Wang Qi, and his eyes were burning like fire, as if there was a word of deception, that is, the wrath of thunder!

"Give you a day to collect all the grain, and then open warehouses inside and outside the city to release grain, temporarily relieve the rations and living expenses of tens of thousands of people in Jizhou Mansion and Liaodong, as for the silver and compensation, you can write a notebook, and the official will sign it for you at that time, how about it?" Wang Qi asked.

"Lang Guogong has considered it thoroughly, this is what we should do, and the old man will gather the city and the countryside to do what the adults say!"

Li Guangzhen's head was like pounding garlic, and he didn't dare to give the slightest discount to Wang Qi's instructions, he already planned to take out all the grain in his house, and at the same time gather all the old eunuchs of the village to stock up on grain to relieve the hardship in the city.

After all, if Wang Qi is satisfied this time, it is equivalent to climbing the thigh of a grandfather of the country!

In the future, will you still need to worry about glory and wealth?

After Li Guangzhen's reply, Wang Qi's heart became a little more stable, and with food, he was not afraid of someone making trouble!

"Tao Zhenxiong, Qu Lu, Wei Liangyan!" Wang Qi named the three commanders.

"The last general!" The three major commanders stepped forward immediately, and if they didn't show their performance at this time, they would have no chance.

"From now on, the military management in the city will act together under my warrant, everyone, you can't go to the street at will, wait for the follow-up decree of the imperial court, and then dispose of it!"

"The last general will obey!"

For more than half an hour, Wang Qi did three things outside the city of Jizhou Mansion.

First of all: dispose of the officials of Jizhou Prefecture and put them in prison in the name of disadvantage in the war, so as to establish authority.

Secondly: to calm the emotions of the people and refugees, and to stabilize the emotions, can the situation be calmer!

Then: open the warehouse and release the grain, and gather the hearts of the people.

After the three incidents, the entire Jizhou Mansion was already under Wang Qi's complete control.

Not long after, the yamen of the prefect of Jizhou Prefecture has become Wang Qi's temporary yamen.

"After the war, the prefect Cai Huaiguo disappeared, but after Lord Xu and Lord Han were defeated and the city was broken, one was arrested and put into the dungeon and failed to get out of trouble! Lord Han was interrogated among them, and he also disappeared! ”

In the front hall, Wang Shouxin was reporting the news of the city to Wang Qi.

"Go and send someone to settle Xu Guangqi and find a doctor to treat him first." Wang Qi was looking down at the grain account books and personnel of the entire Jizhou Mansion for many years: "Send someone to find Han Yi again, the second assistant of the dignified cabinet, you can't die here!" ”

"Subordinate. Got it! Wang Shouxin lowered his head, and then slowly retreated.

Wang Qi frowned at the moment, looking at the fish scale book and the grain depot account book, which is close to the capital, Jizhou Mansion, there are only more than 1,000 households, which really surprised Wang Qi.

"A military town, three hundred miles east of the core of Gyeonggi, with Shanhaiguan in the north, Tianjin Wei in the east, and Jiaodong and Henan in the south, less than 20,000 people."

This kind of discovery made Wang Qi feel bad.

The number of people is declining, on the one hand, because of wars, and on the other hand, because of the years of famine.

"I hope to destroy Daming, the legendary Xiaoice River Period, can come later." Wang Qi pointed down his finger on the atlas and said silently in his heart.

————

At this moment, on the streets of Jizhou Mansion, except for the soldiers patrolling outside, there was no one in sight.

However, the ruins and burnt timber are silent reminders of a catastrophe that has occurred here.

"Phew!!" Wang Shouxin was in armor, and his soldiers were looking for Han Yi's traces along the street.

Someone once saw Han Yi being dragged up to the south gate by the White Lotus Sect, but he had already searched all over there, but he couldn't find his person, so Wang Shouxin could only take his men to search along the main street, and sent his guards to patrol the neighborhoods along the inner side of the city wall.

"Your Excellency!" Just when Wang Shouxin was about to despair, a personal guard came out of the alley: "South City Gate, there is news from Lord Han." ”

Not long after, Wang Shouxin appeared in a neighborhood near the city wall of Jizhou Mansion with a team of people.

"You saved this man?" Wang Shouxin looked at Han Yi, who was covered in blood in the inner room, and then walked out of the room and stood in the courtyard.

The old woman who lived here alone had never seen so many officers and soldiers, thinking that she had committed some serious crime, and at this moment she was panicked and trembled: "The old man saw that this person was pitiful, and his whole body was bleeding, so he couldn't bear it, so he carried him back to the house, bandaged it a little, and stopped the bleeding." ”

"Do you know who he is?" Wang Shouxin stared at the old woman's face.

"The old man just looks at him pitifully, and he doesn't know him," the old woman shook her head, and said with some fear: "It's not a chaotic army, right?" ”

Don't recognize?

Whew. The wind was howling, and the courtyard was silent.

His fingers pressed on the handle of the knife, and Wang Shouxin tried to pull it out several times before holding back.

"Okay, mother-in-law," in the end, Wang Shouxin pursed his mouth, and finally couldn't bear to do it, but took out a gold ingot from his arms and put it in the old woman's hand: "We want to take this person away." ”

"Master Jun?" The old woman looked at the heavy gold in her hand, as if she understood something, and nodded: "The old man doesn't know anything." ”

Not long after, in the dark night, the unconscious Han Yi was carried out of the small courtyard and slowly walked towards the prefect's office.

Han Yi felt that he had slept for a long time, and his whole body was in pain, especially the half of his face, which was directly slapped by someone with a scabbard, and his whole brain was groggy.

Poof.

Like the sound of a candle being lit, Han Yi, who was lying on the bed, slowly opened his eyes.

"Huh?" At first, he was a little uncomfortable with the light in front of him, but after seeing his surroundings clearly, Han Yi instinctively felt as if he was not out of danger.

Although these people in front of them are wearing Ming army clothes.

"Who are you?" Han Yi struggled to open his eyes and let out a hoarse voice.

Wang Shouxin, who was sitting in the dark, did not speak.

"I am the second assistant of the cabinet! Who are you? What about Wang Qi? Let him come to me! On the bed, Han Yi seemed to feel a sense of danger, and wanted to scream, but his body was weak, and he could only let out a whimper.

The two guards looked back at Wang Shouxin, waiting for his order.

Wang Shouxin got up from the chair, approached the bed, looked at Han Yi, who couldn't move, and said softly: "Maybe my family doesn't want to kill you, but we are subordinates, we have to take the initiative to share the worries of the master's family, Lord Han, you can go on the road with peace of mind!" ”

"Is Wang Qi trying to kill me?" Han Yi glared angrily: "Vertical son dare!" Vertical son dare! ”

Wang Shouxin frowned when he heard this, and motioned to the two subordinates to hurry up with his eyes.

Woowoo!!!

His mouth and nose were covered by a palm-sized cotton velvet head, Han Yi wanted to scream, but he could only make a whining sound, because of the strong feeling of suffocation, Han Yi's chest was rising and falling violently, and his whole body was trembling and struggling.

His eyes were full of bloodshots, and Han Yi's mind kept replaying the words that Zuo Guangdou had commented on Wang Qi at the beginning: This son's plan is very big, if we can't stop it in time, the world will be in danger of overturning

Is it in danger of overturning?

Han Yi's consciousness was blurred, he seemed to see someone ascending the throne, and he seemed to be overthrown, repeating four words: Zhu family? Han family!

Whining

Woo.

Han Yi's eyes scattered, with a click, his hands hung down weakly, and his breathing finally stopped.

Wang Shouxin lowered his gaze and looked at Han Yi with complete indifference in his eyes.

"Buried it!"
