Chapter Forty-Nine: The Bandits Surrender
Relying on food, Qin Yu completely controlled the rights of everyone in Cangxian County.
Regarding this, Qin Yu originally thought that Zhao Xingzhi would be obedient in front of him, and he would make some small moves behind his back.
However, it didn't take long for Qin Yu to find out that this guy Zhao Xingzhi really wanted to lie down!
Shrinking in the county government every day, I know that I practice reading and reading, and I don't care about anything else.
But Qin Yu didn't have time to care about him.
Now that the New Year is approaching, there are only seven days left.
Before the New Year, let the people have a warm New Year in the city.
Previously, due to the scourge of the Cangxian army, the houses in the city could not be repaired, and some were even razed to the ground by the Cangxian army.
Qin Yu wanted to gather the people to repair the houses that could be repaired first, and then distribute them.
In the county governor's mansion that was occupied by Niu Jin before.
"How's the registration going?"
"My lord, the men and women in the city are combined, and there are six thousand four hundred and thirty-five in all." Gongsun Qi looked at the list and said.
"Separate men and women, children and the elderly, we have to rebuild Cangxian, everyone has to contribute, whoever doesn't contribute will starve him to death!"
"Rebuild Cangxian!" Gongsun Qi frowned, "The mountain bandits outside the city have not been dealt with yet, I'm afraid it will not be easy to rebuild Cangxian." ”
"It's three days." Qin Yu asked.
Gongsun Qi was stunned for a moment, and then replied, "Today happens to be the third day. ”
Today, it is the deadline that Qin Yu gave to those bandits outside the city, if they don't come to surrender and register today, then what awaits them is only to be exterminated.
At this moment, Lao Huang hurriedly ran in, and he didn't notice that there was ice ballast under his feet, and he fell.
"My lord! There are a lot of bandits outside the city! Lao Huang panted and reported.
"What! Could it be that these bandits can't attack the city? Gongsun Qi was taken aback.
Qin Yu glanced at Gongsun Qi, shook his head secretly, and said, "I'm still too young." ”
Qin Yu stood up and ordered, "Gongsun Qi, you bring people, bring the things that are registered, and go to the city gate to register for them." ”
"Your Excellency, you mean, they're here to surrender?" Gongsun Qi asked.
"I know and ask, hurry up, these are all labor." Qin Yu said with a smile.
Qin Yu was indeed worried before, those bandits were stubborn and unwilling to surrender.
If that's the case, then it's really a problem to exterminate it in the future.
Fortunately, these guys are here now, as for why they are so sure that these people have surrendered, it is only because of themselves that they got rid of Song Qian, unless they are sick in the brain, they will be enemies with themselves now.
Moreover, if you want to attack the city, you will already attack the city, and you will not wait until now.
······
On the other side, Gongsun Qi had already arrived at the city gate with more than 200 soldiers.
The people in the city had long known that there were a large number of bandits outside the city, and they were so frightened that they hid.
When he saw Gongsun Qi rushing to the city gate with his men and horses, a few people who were more courageous came out cautiously to check the situation.
I saw Gongsun Qi order people to open the city gate, and a cold current poured in from outside the city, setting off a large snowflake.
Snowflakes fall in the wind, forming a beautiful picture of the snow scene.
When the gates opened, I looked out of the city and saw a group of thieves who looked very embarrassed.
The leader is Sun Erniang of the Iron Lady Gang.
However, Sun Erniang's face was not good-looking, and she seemed to be injured, and her arms were wrapped with bloody strips of cloth.
Gongsun Qi ordered people to set up ten tables, and then stood up.
"Everyone listen, stick the blade in your hand on the ground, line up for registration, whoever dares not obey the order, kill!"
The bandits looked at each other, and finally, in a moment of confusion, ten formations were formed, and the chaotic weapons were neatly inserted on the ground.
Sun Erniang was the first to register, and Gongsun Qi also paid attention to this bandit leader.
This Sun Erniang's name is Sun Huiling, and she was a young lady from a large family in the city before, but she was a bandit who went up to the mountain after her family was ruined by the former county commander.
After Sun Erniang registered, she grabbed Gongsun Qi's collar without waiting for Gongsun Qi's instructions.
"Your Excellency! I want to see him! Sun Erniang's face was full of ferocity, even Gongsun Qi, who had experienced a hundred battles, was bluffed.
Gongsun Qi waved away the soldiers who ran over, and then asked, "May I ask what you called my family." ”
Sun Erniang shook off Gongsun Qi and said indignantly: "Of course, I want to thank your family in person!" ”
Gongsun Qi rolled his eyes, do you have this cannibalistic look? It's pretty much the same as seeking revenge.
Gongsun Qi originally planned to ask someone to tie up Sun Erniang and then take him to see Qin Yu.
But considering the particularity of Sun Erniang's identity, if Sun Erniang is tied, a large number of bandits will have to make trouble.
"Sun Erniang, my family is busy now, and I don't have time to see you for the time being, so you better obey the arrangement first." Gongsun Qi planned to stabilize Sun Erniang first, and then report this matter to Qin Yu later.
"Hmph, don't you have time? Then I'll wait until he has time! Sun Erniang snorted coldly and asked, "Say, how are you going to arrange for us people!" ”
"After you register, I will set aside a few areas for you to resettle you, as long as you work hard and don't break the law and discipline, you will not be short of food and warm clothes."
Hearing Gongsun Qi's promise, Sun Erniang nodded with satisfaction.
In fact, most of the people on the mountain, who don't want to live a normal life anymore, used to be just forced to be helpless.
Although it is said that surrendering now is also forced to be helpless, after all, now the mountains are in chaos, even the Iron Lady Gang has suffered heavy losses and has to go down the mountain to surrender.
After that, it's much simpler, it's nothing more than registering and then assigning people to guards.
Although these people surrendered, after all, they still had banditry in their bodies, and they had to be cautious.
This time, the bandits who came down the mountain and surrendered added up to more than 1,600 people.
You know, there are only about 6,000 people in the city, almost one-fifth of the population.
And there are some bandits in the mountains who are planning to put up a stubborn resistance.
From this, it can be seen how bad the situation in Cangxian is.
Gongsun Qi didn't even know what method Qin Yu had to use to save the entire Cangxian County.
Outside the city, the story of the surrender of the bandits soon spread inside the city.
The people also came out one after another, after all, the city gate was opened, but the bandits did not attack, which is enough to explain a lot of problems.
"Why don't you take a look?"
"Don't go, those people are bandits no matter what they say, don't provoke them."
"What are you afraid of, they have all come to surrender, and they can still do anything to us, the county lieutenant can spare them!"
"Yes, yes, let's go, let's take a look."
There are a few brave people who plan to go outside the city in groups.
At this moment, a soldier on a fast horse rushed out of the county governor's mansion.
"The county lieutenant has an order! Convene the heads of each district to discuss the matter! ”
