Ye Qing stood on a stone in silence, and in the distance was Ban'an County.
At this time, late autumn was approaching. He was wearing a wide azure robe, without a crown, and was motionless, staring at the sky.
Ji Caizhu stood behind Ye Qing, thoughtful, but in a blink of an eye, he saw Lu Shangjing coming, and said quickly: "My lord, Mr. Lu is here."
"Hmm." Ye Qing nodded, turned around and came down. There was a stone pier not far away. He sat down and said, "Mr. Lu, you are coming from afar. Please stop saluting. How is the situation in the county?"
"After a quick inspection," Lu Shangjing made the usual salute, stood up and said: "Although it is not a welcome, it is generally stable. I just came here to see the lord - there are some important matters that need to be decided by the lord."
Ye Qing was startled for a moment, then said with a smile: "I know, first of all it's the name, right?"
Lu Shangjing glanced at Ji Caizhu and said: "My lord is wise, indeed, the first thing is the name.
Ye Qing stroked his knees, stood up, walked a few steps, and said: "I have already made a decision on this. Tomorrow is the first day of the new year, and the time for heavenly rewards is coming soon."
"I can occupy this county only in the name of heaven. In fact, it is a good thing that Yu Chengen took away the governor's seal. This is the seal of the Cai Dynasty, and I cannot accept it."
"It's okay for a young governor to govern a county, but the title of a county is not enough. I have saved my great merits, and just for this matter, I will ask heaven to grant the title of governor tomorrow."
"It is a great good thing to establish a military town, supervise it, and also take charge of civil affairs. It is just right to have this title." Ji Caizhu couldn't help but applaud and praised.
Ye Qing looked outside with bright eyes and smiled: "The governor's office has a chief secretary, a counselor, and a treasurer, and the general has a Yamen, Yuhou, and commanders, so the establishment will be large."
"With this system, we can control the counties."
Neither of them responded, and there was silence for a while. Ye Qing's face was dark, with no color visible.
At this time, I don’t know how many people in the world are expecting that this round of Yin soldiers has been basically wiped out. At this time, they have made a lot of achievements, or they have suffered huge losses. They are all ready to receive rewards to make up for it. I heard that there are heavy penalties for escaping, and even more
Let the aristocratic family that made the mistake be cautious and hope that the function will be enough.
In short, in this general atmosphere, the civil war military activities in various parts of Kyushu were cut off almost as soon as they started, which makes people have to admire Tianting's ability to control timing.
Qin Lie withdrew to Yanzhou County and stationed himself there. He held 17,000 state soldiers in his hands and maintained a distance that could deploy troops within two hours. He was not afraid of Ye Qing causing trouble and was ready to receive the reward.
Yu Fan was reorganizing his clansmen, allocating resources, and reorganizing his troops in Ban'an County. He originally planned to wait until he was rewarded before withdrawing, but after years of being enemies, he understood the meaning of Ye Qing's actions without further explanation.
"If you don't leave, you will be driven away. The problem is that the rewards from heaven are about to come down. If you don't continue to use the heavenly skills to digest the rewards, why bother pestering me... There is also the side of the bed, how can I allow others to snore and sleep? What's the matter?
Where did this allusion come from?”
"It doesn't rhyme at all, but you're still number two"
Yu Fan was very angry and aggrieved, but he quickly digested his emotions. After calming down the morale of the army, he gave the order to retreat.
"Lord, is this a bit hasty?" Yu Ziti felt that the clan members had not even had a good day's rest despite running around all night and arranging family property resources.
"...No need to say more, I have made up my mind, today I will evacuate...the weak clansmen in the car." Yu Fan said tolerantly, remembering that half of the baggage truck was abandoned, and the car was not enough, he added: "Except for a few
The master craftsmen and their families, as well as other ordinary craftsmen, came down and walked for me..."
The sunny autumn sun shines on the fields and meadows outside the city, and the crystal dewdrops evaporate quickly. There is a chaotic noise in the city, the sound of footsteps, horse hooves, and wheels rolling, gradually forming a queue and squeezing out of the west city gate.
First, the direct line guard of the Yu family formed in front to clear the way, and then the more than 10,000 frontier troops taken away from the county by the Chinese army were specially designed to protect a thousand ox carts. The deep ruts still retained half of the county's property and food, and the shallow ruts were all loaded with goods.
The relatives of the Yu family, the families of soldiers and soldiers.
The craftsmen were not treated like this. Men, women, old and young, with their families, all followed behind the baggage convoy. Under the surveillance of the 18,000 troops at the rear, they silently headed northwest...
Also silent was another large army with the banner of the Young Governor's Mansion, which had long been arrayed on the western outskirts of the city. It was not moving at this time, and was only coldly monitoring Yu Fan's army as they evacuated the city.
When the two armies crossed each other, every soldier clenched his bow and sword, stared at the enemy, and was tense.
There was a scuffle a few days ago, with a lot of casualties and the atmosphere could not be said to be friendly, but no one lost control and started provocations. It can be seen that although the systems of both sides are different, their control is firm and sufficient to implement the coach's will.
Jiang Chen rode in front of the formation without standing under the commander's banner, which made many Yu family magicians frown: "Ye Qing hasn't left yet."
A red-armored cavalry circled out from behind the infantry formation. The commander's flag moved slowly, and he followed the Yu family's team calmly. The young man leading the group, was it Ye Qing or someone else?
"It's like a ghost." Yu Fan cursed, and then ordered the entire army to retreat in an orderly manner, not giving Ye Qing any chance.
Ye Qing was riding on the horse, but he didn't pay attention to the enemy's nervousness. He only looked at the stumbling craftsman, Weaver Girl.
The chaotic, helpless, and confused crowds...the flocks were driven by cavalry like sheep, which revealed the despondency of fate. Ye Qing felt it deeply and did not speak for a long time.
The level of humanity in this era was the peak of agricultural society. The industry was very detailed. Various guilds had their own private organizations. Thanks to the imperial examination, writing was widely popularized. Therefore, it was easy to recruit and train apprentices, and they could advance to full-time workers.
Master craftsman, master craftsman...
A few were so outstanding that they were granted conferments by the imperial court and became guests of state princes. However, in the final analysis, craftsmen from all walks of life were not regarded as lowly, but they were not valued. This was the trend of the times.
Ye Qing didn't need to speak. As soon as he saw the flag of the Young Governor's Mansion, many craftsmen came to pay attention... They were the ones present who knew best how Nanlian Mountain treated the craftsmen. At this time, many people regretted not accepting the Young Governor's offer.
Who would have thought that the county government, which had a guaranteed harvest due to drought and floods, would collapse or even be forced to leave their hometown?
It was all my own choices, and I have nothing to say at this point.
Some craftsmen looked at each other with wry smiles on their faces, and quickly looked away. Undercurrents surged in the team... They had not left the county, and there was still a little hope to cling to.
In the Chinese army, Yu Fan concentrated on observing Ye Qing's movements. He was not aware of these inconspicuous craftsmen. He just warned some new subordinates: "Be careful later. Ye Qing is indeed a hero, but he has no shame. He said that he has turned against him."
Just fall out..."
Fortunately, the new subordinates were all slaves on the grasslands and were used to the dishonesty of the barbarians. From this perspective, they regarded the heroes of the Southern Dynasties as the same thing... Speaking of which, my lord, cough...
"How can Ye Qing, a stupid thief, deserve to be called the lord?"
Shao Hanzi was interjecting and complimenting him, his fat body weighing down the good horse. This funny look and incoherent interjection made Chang Xinzi, who was following the Guangyuan Sect in front, frown... This kind of scum is too much.
The Yingzhou Immortal Sect has been disgraced.
Yu Fan also had a hint of displeasure in his eyes, half-smiling but not smiling: "Ye Qing is a stupid thief, who am I who has been defeated by him many times?"
"Ugh" Shao Hanzi shouted in his heart that it was bad luck. The new lord was obviously holding his breath, and he flattered himself and hit the horse's feet.
Not far away, low laughter came from the two thousand red-armored cavalry. Many veterans had excellent ears and heard it clearly.
"Shaohanzi vassalized the Li family for ten years and sold the Li family in the blink of an eye. No wonder Li Yunzhen was forced to run out and follow his master..."
"The guys who are mixed together are all the same. They are pig teammates who are holding them back..."
"After all, it's Pao Ze, don't say it so clearly..." Yao Xiaohu, who was already a captain, cured his deafness, and married a wife, suddenly matured and interrupted his subordinates' private discussions with a smile. Although he was talking about martial arts
There is cultural training, but these allies are something that only the lord and the higher-ups in the family need to consider.
In terms of the overall atmosphere, the veterans are basically relaxed despite their defense. The defense is against the enemy's tenacious coach, and the relaxation is the confidence built up against the Yu family's victories over and over again.
"The enemy is very strong and making progress, but we are stronger than the enemy every time and make progress faster..."
Ji Caizhu was ordered to run on the other side, counting the number of ox carts and craftsmen's households, until all the Yu family's team had left the west city gate, then he came back and reported to Ye Qing: "The number of baggage carts is slightly more than the number of baggage carts brought out by the county city."
When we plundered another batch in Ban'an County, the number of craftsmen's households increased by 20%, and there were 3,000 people including their families. It was like testing our bottom line again and again..."
A little further away, Jiang Chen came up and asked, "Master, do you want to make a surprise attack and intercept us?"
"No need...Nanlian Mountain currently has tens of thousands of industrial manpower. I don't lack these craftsmen. It's just that the regeneration of human resources is very slow in troubled times. If we can gather more, we will be able to prepare for a rainy day in the future during a protracted war."
benefit."
"One more thing. We just fought a stupid battle. The enemy has left obediently, and the soldiers actually don't have much fighting spirit. A commander must be aware of the changes in morale."
"As the Lord of Nancang, I should not break the rules I set at will. This can stabilize people's hearts."
Ye Qing said calmly, riding on the horse, looking ahead, as if waiting.
Among the dense and vast woods, a piece of water appeared in the field of vision, and a familiar wave came: "Thank you, young governor, for your kindness."
"As an old friend, I will help you if you can, but this is between you and him."
"Understand, this is a personal feud, I will handle it myself...I will not involve the young governor." The voice said and disappeared.
Ye Qing estimated the distance and secretly ordered Jiang Chen: "You lead the cavalry to follow us, we will wait... Remember, don't take action in a hurry, just intercept some of the chaos..."
"I only want people, not property or food. I'll leave the burdensome things to Yu Fan to show off... Or are the Hu people more interested in these?"
Jiang Chen pondered and said, "Speaking of this, it is reported that the elite of the Wei State drove away the Yin soldiers and lingered in the southern border of the desert. A group of three thousand magicians stayed in the Mu'er tribe. Will there be any
Any changes..."
After hearing this, Ye Qing suppressed his smile, pondered for a long time, and then said: "This is not something we can control, but there are nineteen states and hundreds of counties in the northern border of the imperial court. The pressure is not just on our small county... or
Orders are given to Qinglin County, Ban An County, and Mangkhut County to strengthen their preparedness."
"My lord, are you going to give direct orders to the magistrates and counties?" Ji Caizhu perked up after hearing this.
"I have enough strength and status. When the situation reaches this point, it will be smooth sailing..."
