Chapter 92 It’s all small things

Chapter 92: It’s all small things

“There is no stability without farmers, and there is no wealth without business.”

These are the eight words Yun Zhao left to Baishui County.

The land in Baishui County is barren and not suitable for large-scale cultivation of wheat. However, it is very suitable for growing millet, sorghum, and millet. Potatoes also grow well in the sandy soil here.

The main reason is that there are not many aborigines here. When Li Hongji was making trouble in northern Shaanxi, this was a battlefield between officers and soldiers and bandits. Therefore, most of the residents in Baishui County today are immigrants.

The refugees who finally settled down are extremely satisfied with their current stable and well-fed life. However, for the officials of Baishui County, it is not a good thing that the people have no ambition.

The li chiefs, big li chiefs, and county magistrates here are all determined to manage the place well, so that they can take on other important responsibilities in the future after they have made their achievements.

If the people in other places in Guanzhong are living a good life, but the Baishui County that he manages remains unchanged, it will be too detrimental to his career.

Yun Zhao's patrol was also a great boost to the officials in Guanzhong.

The officials who have the ability to manage the local area in an orderly manner wish that Yun Zhao lived in their county so that they could see all their achievements. If the officials who do not manage the local area well, they will be like Lin Lin. The enemy tried every means to make Yun Zhao only see the good things about their county and not the bad things.

Old women block the road and cry out for injustice, women in mourning clothes kneel down with their children to block the road, and a large group of suffering people kneel on the roadside with incense burners filled with incense and kowtow continuously. This kind of sudden incident Yun Zhao encountered many mass incidents along the way.

Of course he has no time to handle these cases. This is not within the scope of his responsibilities. He will not just listen to the people's words and then behead the officials here or cut them into pieces.

This is very bad for the government’s credibility.

At this time, the local officials would burst into tears and want to step forward to explain to Yun Zhao. Seeing Yun Zhao's cold expression, they did not dare to step forward. They were all pale and sweating. Let the group of young people under Haezhi inquire and record.

Since Haechi appeared in Lantian County, Yun Zhao has not killed anyone again.

This is very important. In Lantian County today, government orders can no longer kill people. Only laws can kill people.

Yun Zhao has neither the power nor the will to directly order someone to be quartered into five pieces, except of course for the Secret Service!

This is the deterrent force of Yun Zhao as the highest power center in Guanzhong.

The most fundamental source of power is violence!

The army, courts, and prisons are the three most secure pillars of power.

Countless books tell people that our power comes from the people and that the foundation of power is the people. They often forget that the people are often the people to whom power is used.

Based on this, Taoist thought has extended "inaction" and they even hope that people will "return to their ancestors". In their imagination, power brings too many harms, and in the beginning of mankind, there was no concept of power.

Yun Zhao doesn’t think that the daughter-in-law needs protection for someone who can stop her and complain about her unfilial piety, and even dares to spit on Yun Zhao’s guard.

The county magistrate finally said. After being sentenced to separate families, she took off her clothes and lay down in the courtroom, with her lower body facing the county magistrate... She also threatened not to immerse her daughter-in-law in the pig cage, and she continued to pester the magistrate like this for the rest of her life. Not made up, the author has personal experience)

In order to occupy more land, they planted trees on the farm ridges of two families. After the trees grew taller, they said the trees belonged to their own family, so they built new ridges to surround the book trees. I entered my own land, but my neighbor's land lost a lot of weight.

After being beaten up by the strong man from the neighbor's house, the trees were cut down and the ridges were piled back. , then he blocked the road and complained. When he saw someone recording his story, he went around and threatened that the county magistrate would chop off his neighbor's head... causing the neighbor's strong man to escape overnight, and the one who left his hometown did not know where he went...

The reason why a group of people knelt on the roadside to complain was that the county magistrate actually did not allow them to build a temple in the countryside. This thing would naturally be rejected. No matter what kind of temple was built, it could only be built in the county or the state capital. On Yushan Mountain, no temples for obscenity are allowed to be built in the countryside.

Yun Zhao issued the investigation order, and the response will naturally reach him.

The things he is dealing with now are becoming more and more trivial.

He is not like the legendary traitor at all. .

Facing Feng Ying, who is as strong as a leopard, Yun Zhao, even a traitor, has to be defeated on the bed.

"I want to have another child. ! ”

“But we have given birth three times today, how about another one tomorrow?” "

"No, you will go to Qian Duoduo's place tomorrow...come again! ”

Yun Zhao wanted to refuse, but the strong stimulation brought to him by Feng Ying’s graceful body made him unable to help but fall into her arms again.

The next day, Yun Zhao repeated what he did in Feng Ying's room...so much so that Yun Zhao strongly missed the hard days of running around outside.

Some very interesting activities to enhance the relationship between couples, if too much. Frequently, it is torture or even torture.

Feng Ying's Yun Zhang was taken away by Qian Duoduo, so he could only hope for another child, and Qian Duoduo also hoped for one more child, so that he could suppress Feng forever. Yingtou, when the two women started to compete, basically no one thought about whether the man was alive or dead.

Fortunately, his army was still very helpful outside.He was energetic and Lantian City was planning to build another city on the old site of Zhangjiakou so that Lantian City would not look so lonely.

In fact, they have already built a city on the former site of the surrender city in Hequ. The sheepskin rafts coming down from Jinzhou, Gansu filled the Yellow River, transporting countless materials to the surrender city, and finally sent them to the surrender city. To Lantian City.

The reason why Zhang Guozhu and Gao Jie did this was entirely because the power of Lantian City was already safe and stable, and Jiannu no longer came to bring trouble to Lantian City. They wanted to further squeeze Jiannu's living space.

Every time Lantian County takes a step forward, people all over the world panic.

Everyone in the world knows that Lantian County is wealthy, but no one wants to possess it.

Li Hongji’s strategy was a great success.

When he captured De'an Mansion, 20,000 cavalry led by Liu Zongmin attacked Luzhou with lightning speed.

When the prefect Wu Dapu heard that the bandits were coming, he personally led the villagers to repair the city day and night, and at the same time formulated a specific strategy to retreat from the enemy.

After learning that the bandits were powerful, Wu Dapu, the prefect, knew that the low walls of Luzhou City were not enough to intercept the bandits, so he built walls with bricks and stones on the main streets in the city, and then connected them to form a series of walls. Snipe the wall.

At the same time, a hole as big as a window was dug in the wall to facilitate the penetration of the swords and guns of the surrounding ambushes. Later, elite soldiers and generals were sent to ambush in the alleys, and weapons such as rolling logs, artillery, and gunpowder guns were prepared to fight the thieves in the street.

After arriving in Luzhou, Liu Zongmin hurriedly abandoned his war horses and launched a fierce attack on the city.

When Liu Zongmin led his army to attack the city, Wu Dapu first ordered the soldiers on the city to fire artillery to resist. However, the rebel army's attack momentum was so fierce that the defenders could not resist it, and Luzhou City was breached.

After Liu Zongmin entered the city, he found that the alley was narrow, so he had to dismount and advance on foot.

At this time, the ambush soldiers in the alley stabbed the thieves with knives or spears, but the thieves could not find the Ming army at all and could not fight back. They were very frightened and retreated quickly.

Some of those who were unable to evacuate were eventually killed by the ambush.

Liu Zongmin was furious and ordered the city to be broken and allowed the soldiers to kill for three days.

However, the rebels fought continuously in the city for seven days, but the defenders in the city relied on street fighting to always control the situation in the city.

Liu Zongmin had no choice but to retreat.

However, Wu Dapu fell ill due to long-term command. His body was exhausted and his eyes were blinded by fatigue.

Later, Liu Zongmin was unwilling to fail and attacked Luzhou City again. Luzhou City was in danger.

At this time, there was a concubine of an official named Xu in the city. She was born on the border of Liaodong and was good at riding and shooting. She also defended the city with the soldiers and fought bravely to kill the enemy. At one point, Liu Zongmin was forced out of the city.

Liu Zongmin was furious and offered a reward of 10,000 taels of gold for the concubine's head.

The giant bandit Hun Tianwang was going like a rock all the way, and was about to arrive at the prefect's Yamen.

This concubine volunteered and led the soldiers to save the situation.

However, at this critical moment, there was a problem with the Ming army's artillery. The superstitious officers and soldiers believed that sacrifices were needed before they could continue to fire.

But the concubine didn't take it seriously. She bit her own finger, dripped blood on the cannon and lied about it as a sacrifice, and then lit it herself. The cannon just hit King Hun Tian, ​​killing him immediately. The two leaders, the Heavenly King and the Beggar King, frightened the bandits with just one shot, and finally fled in panic.

After several failed attempts to attack the city, Liu Zongmin's troops suffered heavy losses and had to withdraw from Luzhou City.

At this time, Li Hongji's troops arrived, and Luzhou City was no longer able to recover. The officers and soldiers in the city had to leave the city and head east.

At this point, Luzhou fell, and Li Hongji looted Luzhou City for seven days.

The concubine of the official surnamed Xu was also acquired by Li Hongji on the way to escape. After humiliating her for three days and nights, she was skinned...

"So, Li Hongji finally took over the concubine. "State, right?"

Yun Zhao yawned after reading the battle report and asked Qian Shaoshao.

"Yes, Luzhou was captured, and Li Hongji got a lot of money."

"The consequences for the concubine of the official named Xu were not good."

"What's wrong?"

"I was tortured by Li Hongji's thieves for three days, and finally skinned."

"Zhang Xueling is one of ours. Graduated from the fourth class of Yushan Academy, she is said to be the concubine of an official named Xu, but she is actually Xu Chaoyan's sister-in-law. "Huh? Our people were skinned after being tortured?"

"How is it possible? When he defeated Liu Zongmin, Xu Chaoyan took all the credit on himself and expelled Zhang Xueling from the Xu Mansion. When Li Hongji came, Xu Chaoyan was looking for Zhang Xueling everywhere. As a result, Zhang Xueling had left Luzhou and returned to Yushan.

Xu Chaoyan took a concubine to the battlefield, but the result was predictable.

When he escaped, he was caught by Liu Zongmin, and then the whole family was skinned. ”< /p>

Yun Zhao nodded and said: "This should be the result."

Qian Shaoshao said: "Zhang Xueling returned to Yushan this time to recruit troops. She hopes to bring more classmates with her. I don’t know how it went when I went to Luzhou for development.”
