Chapter 482: This official has good intentions
A few days later, the empress's Luan arrived at Jiangbei City, which was the last city to enter the Sanjiang area, eighty miles south of the city is the Wangjiang Estuary, and to the south of the Wangjiang Estuary is the Sanjiang area.
The flying horse entered the city first, and then the empress's frame slowly entered.
There were traces of unrest in the city, and not far from there were charred houses and blood stains that had not been wiped off.
When all the defenders and officials have left, it is normal for riots to break out in the city, and those civilians who don't know much about it are afraid that a little spark can set the prairie on fire, and at this time the evil of human nature will be highlighted, which is inevitable in ancient and modern times, and it is part of human nature.
When the Xiaoshan faction arrived in Jiangbei, the city began to show signs of chaos.
When Ren Baqian sent someone, it was already four days late.
It is said that when the army and the Lingshan faction arrived, it was already a mess, and the shops were basically smashed and burned and looted, especially the shops with essential items such as food and salt.
And the civilians in the city also suffered many casualties in the chaos.
A group escaped from the city before, and the army suppressed the riot and killed a group more, and this city, which originally had a population of 100,000, only 60,000 people were left when the empress and others entered the city.
"What are they doing? Who made them here?" asked the empress, sitting in Luan's car, looking at the civilians standing there with their heads bowed and shivering on the side of the street.
"Just like what Your Majesty saw in Lancheng, they are greeting Your Majesty. Ren Baqian said with a wine glass in one hand, as for arranging this, it should be someone from the Lingshan faction, right?
"Arashijo is my people, and they truly embrace me and welcome me. And these people ......," the empress said lightly.
"These people are also His Majesty's people. Ren Baqian said lightly as he looked at the civilians with fear on them.
"Your Majesty, the monarch regards his ministers as siblings, and the ministers regard him as his heart, and the monarch regards his ministers as dogs and horses, and the ministers regard him as his countrymen, and the monarch regards his ministers as mustard, and the ministers regard him as enemies. These people are still fearful, as long as they can live and work in peace and contentment in His Majesty's land, there will be a day when the people of Lancheng will support His Majesty from the bottom of their hearts. ”
Who said that? The empress praised.
"It was said by the ancients, and he said a lot of things, and they all made sense. Ren Baqian thought for a while and said.
"In the future, tell me about him, and the person who can say such things must be unusual. As she spoke, the empress focused her gaze on the civilians.
"I don't like them. ”
"Like it or not, they're all part of Da Yao. The reason why His Majesty doesn't like them is that they are restless, but there are also reasons for it, and some of them keep instilling certain ideas in them. In fact, they can do a lot as long as they are appeased and ruled by their minds.
A few decades later, a new generation of young people will grow up, and they will become His Majesty's true people.
What's more, these people are not living a good life now, and they are just trying to survive. As long as they can live and work in peace, I don't think most people will think about it anymore.
Just like these people on both sides of the river, who have just experienced chaos and pain, now that the army has calmed down the city, they can return to their former peaceful life. Although it seems that they are terrified now, it is only because they do not know His Majesty, how can His Majesty know that some of them are not glad in their hearts?"
Ren Baqian poured the wine in the cup into his mouth, held an empty cup, and praised: "This flower wine is really good, although it is like fire, it has a sweet and glutinous taste, and there is a hint of floral fragrance." ”
The green kite next to him glared at him, and poured him the wine a little unwillingly.
This wine was made by the two of them with great effort to pick many flowers for His Majesty, but this guy has drunk so much in the past two days.
"How these people are, is something you need to think about. The empress said lightly, she is not good at this kind of thing. Since Ren Baqian can do a good job, then leave it to him.
He also needs some merit to gain a foothold in the court.
Although there have been a lot of things done before, none of them are more dazzling than the achievement of pacifying the land of heavenly views.
If you don't do it well, then kill all these people.
The empress's place of residence is the city lord's mansion in Jiangbei, but this city lord's mansion seems to have been robbed, many places have traces of being burned by fire, and some decorative things in the mansion have also been swept away.
Even if the people of the Lingshan Sect who arrived before had already arranged for someone to repair it and made a batch of items to decorate the mansion, these patchwork things were placed in the mansion, which looked even more shabby.
It feels like everything in this mansion is out of place.
For example, the flowers in the yard that have just been dug up from nowhere look like weeds.
There are also a few chairs and tables in the hall, one of the chairs has some color differences, and the style is also different, obviously patchwork.
As for the room, not to mention, the red and green quilts made Ren Baqian deeply doubt whether the aesthetics of those people were different.
"Your Majesty, rest here first, and then I'll have someone bring your Majesty a futon. Ren Baqian walked around the room and then retreated, and after saying goodbye to the empress, he summoned the people from the Lingshan faction.
"Are there any people from the south in the city these days, and what is the situation in the south?" asked Ren Baqian.
"My lord, dozens of people have arrived in the past few days, waiting for your summons. As for the south, those rebels arranged for many masters near the mouth of the Wangjiang River to intercept and kill those who came to defect to the adults. It is said that the same situation is true of Poison Dragon Ridge, and I heard that many people have been killed. ”
"Rebels?" Ren Baqian squinted at him: "Your idea is very dangerous!"
"My lord, it's my fault, it's the rebels, those are all rebels, it's just that they call themselves rebels, I made a mistake for a while, and I hope your adults don't blame you. The man immediately said in a cold sweat.
"Remember, we are officials, they are bandits. You are doing things for me, you are doing things for Your Majesty, and you always remember your identity. Ren Baqian knocked again.
"Yes!"
"How many people were sent by the rebels to intercept them, and what strength?" Ren Baqian said slowly.
"There are more than 100 people in Wangjiangkou, mainly people from the Zhushan faction, Xiaoqingguan and Yueyangmen, among which there are more than a dozen earth wheel masters. Poison Dragon Ridge should be guarded by the people of the Manxing Pavilion and the Yujiang Gang. In addition to this, there were thousands of defenders in each place. But that was the news three days ago, and now that the news of the imperial army coming here should be known, there must be changes. ”
"Got it, go down. Ren Baqian waved his hand, and after waiting for someone to go down, he thought for a while, if he directly let the flying horse run over him, I am afraid that the other party will not know anything, and I am afraid that there will be some damage.
Now the casualties of the flying horse, not to mention the empress, even he is distressed.
Moreover, it is known that the rebels in the south have exceeded 200,000, and at this time, the army of the ancient tribe here is only 6,000, plus 800 flying horses.
Even if the other party is a husky, 200,000 huskies are not so easy to deal with.
Ren Baqian thought about it and brought Zuo Cheng and Qingyun Jian again.
"Two gentlemen, now Wangjiangkou and Poison Dragon Ridge are guarded by the rebels, and those chivalrous people with bright hearts are trapped in the land of Sanjiang, and may be cleared by the rebels at any time.
The official also asked the two gentlemen to select some masters in the city, go to the two places to check, and then report back to the official. This is an opportunity that the official has fought for the two of them, and according to His Majesty's words, the army directly crushed the past, and all the people were crushed all night.
But then there will be nothing for you. This official thought that you were the first to take refuge in Your Majesty, and your treatment in the future will naturally be higher than others. But if you don't have any credit and are easy to gossip, this official has won a task for everyone in the city to find out the news. Ren Baqian said.
"This official is really well-intentioned!"
"That's what Lord Ren said!" the two of them had to reply no matter what they thought.
