Chapter 167 165. He is the mayor of Qingcheng
The telegram is on the table.
No one would have thought that more than 200,000 officers and soldiers would be so defeated in one day!
Yinshan has been a fortified city since ancient times, but it only lasted for two or three months. This was beyond everyone's expectation!
"As soon as Yinshan County was broken, the situation was instantly corrupted. We received the telegram in advance, but there was very little time left for us!"
It's already dark outside, but the lights are brightly lit inside the town office!
Ren Pingsheng was sitting on a high-backed pear-shaped chair in the lobby. The town's section chiefs, deputy regiment commander Liu Qiang, five battalion commanders, and militia group Lu Feihu were all sitting in the lobby. The atmosphere was very solemn.
"Lu Feihu, start gathering troops tomorrow!"
Ren Pingsheng looked at Lu Feihu and said.
Most of the militiamen, except those who are undergoing rotation training in the militia camp, are at home. Only in times of war will these militiamen be gathered together.
And now, as the war is about to begin, it is time to gather all the militiamen.
"yes!"
Lu Feihu nodded and responded.
Status can change a person quickly. In the past six months, Lu Feihu's deep-seated inferiority complex has been eliminated, and now he is high-spirited and resolute.
Ren Pingsheng looked at Liu Qiang and said, "Commander Liu, starting tomorrow, we will send some regular soldiers and militiamen to cooperate with each other and increase patrols outside the city.
The defeated troops on the Yinshan front will definitely pass through Qingshui County. The defeated troops are less human than the bandits. When the time comes, they will be killed and arrested. Don’t let these people disrupt the order of Qingcheng Town!"
"As you command!"
Liu Qiang stood up and clasped his fists in response.
"Now, we must be ready immediately to send troops to Qingshui County at any time to capture the county seat in one fell swoop."
Ren Pingsheng stood up and looked at the dark world outside the door, his eyes filled with light. It was as if the outside world was under his control.
"Liu Shu, taking advantage of the information gap that Qingshui County has not yet received news from the front line, will send people from the Shenjian Division to get on the road immediately and sneak into Qingshui County.
On the one hand, we monitor the current environment of the county. On the other hand, if we need to attack Chengguan Town with force, we will cooperate with each other inside and outside."
Ren Pingsheng has now made no secret of his thoughts of rebellion.
Liu Qiang and others already knew this, but several section chiefs looked horrified, and their hearts were beating wildly in their chests.
Ren Pingsheng's eyes swept over their faces one by one, making them frightened and they couldn't help but lower their heads.
"Everyone, stop dreaming about the Spring and Autumn Period. The Yinshan Front has fallen. For us, troubled times have begun!
If you continue to have unrealistic illusions, you will only harm others and yourself. I hope that you will work with me to share weal and woe and get through this difficult time."
Ren Pingsheng's words were deafening in the ears of several section chiefs.
Yes, Yuntai County has long been out of order!
The imperial court has long been rotten to the core. If we don’t rebel, we will have no choice but to abandon our family and business and flee with our whole family. Otherwise, there will be no other way to survive!
Several people raised their heads and saw that the mayor had retracted his gaze from them and sat on the main guard again.
"Soldiers are valuable and quick, Commander Liu..."
While Ren Pingsheng was talking, someone suddenly announced that a messenger from Yuntai County had arrived.
After pondering for a moment, Ren Pingsheng nodded and let people in.
Soon, a soldier carrying an order flag hurried in, holding a brass token to prove his identity. After showing it to Ren Pingsheng, he handed him a letter sealed with lacquer.
Ren Pingsheng tore open the letter and read through it quickly.
"Return to the envoy, I will immediately pack up my troops and rush to the front line."
After saying that, Ren Pingsheng asked Shaoyao to bring him pen and ink, wrote a letter on the spot and handed it to the soldier, asking him to go back and recover.
The soldiers were sent out with courtesy, and they didn't leave cursing until they got on their horses and left the yamen.
Although he is just a soldier, he seems to have come to this town on behalf of the county government. The people in this town are so ignorant of human affairs that they kicked him out without even caring about a meal!
"Mayor, what did the county say?"
In the lobby of the Yamen, someone asked curiously.
"The news from the county government has been delayed a bit. I guess they don't even know that the front line has collapsed yet. This letter is earlier. It was probably sent yesterday or even the day before yesterday, and we were sent to support the Yinshan front line."
In fact, this is not the first time he has been called upon. It’s just that Ren Pingsheng didn’t listen to the call the past few times.
This time, Ren Pingsheng agreed readily, but of course it was not for the purpose of actually going to the front line to support him.
The Yinshan front has collapsed and there is nothing left to support.
Now, this letter comes just in time, just in time for him to send troops to Chengguan Town, and the troops will be famous!
"Captain Liu, take this letter and send a battalion tomorrow to take over the defense of Qingshui County!"
Ren Pingsheng gave the letter with the official seal of the county government to Shaoyao and asked her to pass it on to Liu Qiang.
"What if Magistrate Huang doesn't let us enter the city?"
Liu Qiang glanced at the letter and asked again.
With the front line defeated, everyone was in danger, and Qingcheng Town's reputation among the county government was not very good.
"Then beat him down!"
Ren Pingsheng said firmly.
"However, I believe that our County Magistrate Huang will let you in. The few remaining officers in the county cannot stop the rebel army at all. Magistrate Huang is a smart man and will not do anything at this time.
Making unwise decisions."
At least Qingcheng's army is disciplined and will not rob or kill casually.
The same cannot be said for the thieves and soldiers, as well as the defeated officers and soldiers now.
That night, there was a lot of commotion in the military camp in Qingcheng Town. Many people in the city noticed that 2,500 regular soldiers gathered urgently.
Outside the city, the militia battalion sent out dozens of cavalry overnight to inform the militiamen to gather in various villages in Qingcheng Town.
By the next morning, the militia had gathered 5,500 troops.
Around nine o'clock, Qingshui County sent a telegram back.
"What? Magistrate Huang hung up his seal and fled?"
Liu Qiang was surprised.
According to the laws of the Da Jing Dynasty, let alone leaving with a seal, even if you lose your official seal, you will be thrown into jail if you are caught!
"It seems that the news of the collapse of the Yinshan Front has reached Qingshui County. Now that County Magistrate Huang is away, Chengguan Town is in a leaderless state. Chengguan Town will then become a hot potato. The next person to take over the county is not the county.
Wei is the county magistrate.
We have a letter from the county government in our hands, and if we send troops to the county seat at this time, we can directly take over the actual control of Qingshui County."
In Ren Pingsheng's view, the collapse of the Yinshan Front had broken through Magistrate Huang's psychological defense, making him unwilling to wait here to die, so he packed up his belongings and fled with his money.
No matter how well he escaped, this way, after Ren Shengsheng entered the city, he wouldn't even have to do any face-saving projects.
"The soldiers are very quick, set off immediately and go to Qingshui County!"
In the morning, countless soldiers and horses marched out of the county seat, immediately attracting countless people from Qingcheng to watch.
Ren Pingsheng was in the team, riding a horse.
Sledgehammer led a 50-man escort to surround him and swagger through the city.
"Ren Pingsheng is the mayor of Qingcheng!"
Ruan Tang was also among the onlookers and saw Ren Pingsheng, who was riding a tall horse and wearing fish scale armor.
