Chapter 154 Death of the Second Minister

The thoughts and vision of the people at the bottom have never been too far-sighted. They have always looked at the situation of the past few days. When they temporarily master weapons and violent machines, they will inevitably be confused and confused about suddenly getting rich.

Under the slogan of White Lotus burning the city and Maitreya coming to the world, when Jizhou Prefecture was captured, the entire White Lotus Sect was filled with excitement and madness. Everyone looted the city, indulged in killings, and vented their selfish desires, except for the top

How many people, how many

Almost no one thought about how to consolidate the results of the war, how to win over people's hearts, how to gather the scattered refugees from Liaodong, and sweep across the capital with greater power and storm, hoping to echo Henan and Jiaodong.

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

"It's really because Wang Qi is too powerful!" When Xu Hongru and his bodyguards fled from Jizhou Mansion in a hurry, he looked back and saw that Wang Qi and his army had begun to enter Jizhou Mansion, and tens of thousands of

The refugees from Liaodong, as well as the people who survived by chance in Jizhou Prefecture, all came out to greet them. The entire outer city and the main roads were packed to the brim.

Almost everyone is cheering Wang Qi’s name.

The refugees from Liaodong cheered Wang Qi, because in the eyes of Liaodong people, Wang Qi was the savior of Liaodong. Now that the people of Liaodong are suffering, how can hundreds of officials stand by and watch?

The people of Jizhou Prefecture respectfully welcomed Wang Qi because he was rescued in a desperate situation. The people were agitated. Han Xu, the second minister of the cabinet, came with troops. They could not hold on for almost a day. The city gates were opened wide, causing the people to suffer.

.Later, Wang Qi rushed to Jizhou Prefecture and saved the people from being bullied by the thieves.

After all, if Wang Qi had arrived one day later, the situation would have been completely different. Jizhou Mansion would have been filled with corpses and blood.

"On behalf of the people of the city, the old man Li Guangzhen would like to thank Duke Lang for saving his life!" At the gate of Jizhou Prefecture, an old man was supported by someone and came to Wang Qi and bowed deeply. Li Guangzhen, a person from Jizhou Prefecture,

In the 11th year of Wanli's reign, he became a Jinshi, and he became a minister of the Ministry of Rites. In the 43rd year of Wanli's reign, he became an official. He taught in Jielu, which benefited the countryside and the Jizhou area, and gained high prestige.

Behind him were the Tongzhi and Tongpan of Jizhou Prefecture, as well as the Qianhu Officials of the Guard Office. Jizhou Prefecture was in ruins due to the war, and the officials could not escape punishment. Therefore, when they saw Wang Qi, they were like a mouse seeing a cat, hiding behind him.

, dare not step forward.

"I'm sorry to trouble you, Mr. Li, but the court ordered me to come here to relieve the difficulties in Jizhou Prefecture. It's not hard work," Wang Qi sat on the horse and answered Li Guangzhen's words, and then glanced at the officials behind Li Guangzhen.

: "The rebels have just withdrawn, and the city is not stable. Where is the prefect of Jizhou? Ask him to come see me!"

When several fellow magistrates, magistrates, and civil servants heard Wang Qi's questioning voice, they all knelt on the ground with a plop: "I don't know where the magistrate has gone... I've been working hard these days."

Resist the enemy, protect the people, please be careful!"

Wang Qi sneered: "Fight the enemy to the death? I see that you are neatly dressed and have a white jade hair crown. There is no trace of fighting the enemy to the death!"

"Come here!" Wang Qi immediately called his men over.

"The end is here!" Wang Shouxin stepped forward.

"Let's take off these people's clothes first and throw them into prison, and wait for deliberation later!"

"As you command!"

Wang Shouxin gave an order, and several soldiers stepped forward, stripped off the clothes of several officials of Jizhou Prefecture, and dragged them away in front of tens of thousands of people, regardless of their begging for mercy and swearing.

Before entering the city, you must first establish your authority to intimidate Xiaoxiao.

"Master Baihu Official!" At this moment, refugees from Liaodong also appeared at the city gate, squeezing forward, wanting to talk to Wang Qi: "We are all refugees. I heard that you, Master Baihu, are leading troops.

Here we are, we are really happy. This time the army and the army fought back against the White Lotus Sect, we also made great efforts. Please be aware of this!!"

Hearing the voices of the refugees from Liaodong, the people of Jizhou Prefecture, who had been quiet at first, became angry and immediately replied: "You helped? Didn't you burn, kill and loot with those rioters?! Didn't you take the opportunity to rob? Yuanwai Sun and his family

Did more than thirty people die at the hands of the White Lotus Sect?"

"We are all going to starve to death. That big family is reluctant to give even a grain of grain to them. If he doesn't die, who will! Can you wait for me 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 frowned when he saw this chaotic situation.

The entire city gate immediately fell silent.

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

"Caomin Qiu Tong," Qiu Tong heard Wang Qi talking to him, and immediately bowed to Wang Qi with respect on his face: "Greetings to Duke Lang!"

"Can you gather all the refugees from Liaodong?" Wang Qi saw Xiong Mang in this life, but behind him was a large group of people from Liaodong, all headed by him. It seemed that this person was a leader among the refugees.<

/p>

"My lord, if we just gather together, the common people are all familiar with the people from Liaodong. One day is enough," Qiu Tong didn't know what Wang Qi wanted to do, but it doesn't matter, so just answer it!

"Okay, I order you to be the commander-in-chief of the outer city of Jizhou Prefecture. First gather all the refugees outside the city. I will send people to camp for you and stay there first." Wang Qi tapped Qiu Tong with the long whip in his hand: "Remember

I tell you, stay calm these days and let the people of Liaodong not make trouble! When things get over here, I will take you back to Liaodong."

"Sir!" He replied to Liaodong, making Qiu Tong and others' eyes moisten instantly.

Who doesn’t want to return home early?

Who wants to be bullied in a foreign land?

It’s all forced by facts and done as a last resort!

Now Wang Qi said "I will take you back to Liaodong", allowing everyone to break through the defense instantly.

"People of Liaodong, thank you for your great kindness! You will never be able to repay it even if you die!"

"Thank you, Mr. Baihuguan!"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.

For a time, the entire outer city of Jizhou Prefecture was filled with cries and mourning because of Wang Qi's words.

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

"Common people, go now, go now!" Qiu Tong kowtowed three times, then stood up and bowed again before leading the people back.

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

"Master Lang, please speak..." Hearing Wang Qi call his name, Li Daru quickly answered. Wang Qi's operation just now made everyone feel what it means to give kindness and power at the same time.

Called authority and power.

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

"These days, all the food in the treasury has been looted, but when the rebels retreated just now, they probably didn't have time to take it all away, and there is still some food left. In addition, the big households in the city should also have some food in stock, which should be kept intact," Li Guangzhen did not dare to tell the king.

When Qi told a lie, his eyes burned like fire, as if there was one word of deception, which was the fury of thunder!

"I will give you one day to collect all the grain, and then open warehouses inside and outside the city to release grain. This will temporarily relieve the food and living expenses of tens of thousands of people in Jizhou Prefecture and Liaodong. As for the money and compensation, you can write a letter

How about I sign the memorial copy for you when the time comes?" Wang Qi asked.

"Lang Guogong has thought carefully and this is what we should do. I will summon the people in the city and the countryside to do what you said!"

Li Guangzhen was confused and did not dare to discount Wang Qi's instructions at all. He had already planned to take out all the food in his family, and at the same time summon all the virtuous and old eunuchs in the countryside to store food in order to alleviate the difficulties in the city.

After all, if Wang Qi is satisfied this time, it will be equivalent to climbing into the lap of a prince!

Will there be any need to worry about future glory and wealth?

After receiving Li Guangzhen's reply, Wang Qi felt more at ease. With food, he would not be afraid of anyone making trouble!

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

"The general is here!" The three commanders immediately stepped forward. If they don't show off at this time, they will have no chance.

"From now on, military control in the city will be carried out according to my order. Everyone is not allowed to go to the streets at will. We will wait for the court's follow-up orders before dealing with it!"

"I will wait and obey your orders!"

For more than half an hour, Wang Qi did three things outside Jizhou City.

First of all: deal with the officials of Jizhou Prefecture and imprison them in the name of being unfavorable in combat, so as to establish their authority.

Secondly: Only by appeasing the emotions of the people and refugees and stabilizing their emotions can the situation be somewhat calmer!

Then: open warehouses to release food and win people's hearts.

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

Not long after, the Yamen of the prefect of Jizhou Prefecture had become Wang Qi’s temporary Yamen.

"As soon as the war began, the prefect Cai Huaiguo disappeared. However, after the defeat of the army and the city's destruction, Master Xu and Master Han were captured in a dungeon and could not escape! Master Han was interrogated, but he was also missing.

Got it!"

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

"Send someone to settle Xu Guangqi, and find a doctor to treat him first..." Wang Qi was looking down at the food account books and population situation of the entire Jizhou Prefecture for consecutive years: "Send someone to find Han Xu, the dignified cabinet

Cisuke, you can’t die here!”

"Subordinate...understand!" Wang Shouxin lowered his head and then slowly withdrew.

Wang Qi frowned at this moment, looking through the fish scale book and the grain depot account book. There were only more than a thousand households in Jizhou Prefecture, which is close to the capital, which really surprised Wang Qi.

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

This discovery gave Wang Qi a bad feeling.

The population is decreasing day by day, on the one hand due to war, and on the other hand, years of famine, and it seems to be increasing.
