General Wei was unwell, so the task of taking Chen County within half a month fell to Deputy General Chen Qing.
General Fan has not been with them for more than a year, and he lags far behind in thinking and cannot keep up with the times. Prime Minister Wang specifically stated that during the past half month, they would have to live and eat together. Wei Liang's mission has changed.
It helped General Fan improve his ideological quality.
Ordinary soldiers just obey orders and do not have high requirements for this, but as a general, you must not relax mentally.
In the temporarily arranged residence, Yang Liuqing sat at the desk, slowly turning the pages of the book, reading every line of words very carefully.
General Wei, General Fan and others only need to know how to fight, but she is different.
She not only needs to know how to win the first war, but also how to strengthen her team, how to survive in the cracks when the force is still weak, and how to start with Cangzhou and approach step by step the city that once brought her countless
Nightmare place.
Even, she has to think about some more distant things. One day, if she really takes that position, what should she do and how can she be a good emperor?
She never doubted whether she could do it. If her uncle said yes, then it would be okay.
Prime Minister Wang knocked on the door and walked in from the outside.
"Your Highness." After he bowed slightly, he said: "Chen Qing has already gone to Chen County. He used to be stationed in Cangzhou. Chen County is his hometown. Our people have infiltrated into the county government. Xu Envoy will also help us.
Provide help, and with the help of Miss Bai and the others, they can take down the Chen County government office quietly, so there should be no big problem..."
"knew."
Yang Liuqing nodded. Chen County, including the entire Cangzhou, was almost abandoned by the imperial court. Only a thousand officers and soldiers were stationed in the city of Cangzhou. He only needed fifty elite soldiers to occupy the Chen County government office. Chen Qing had many experts on his trip.
So she wasn't too worried.
Prime Minister Wang looked at the open books on his desk and sighed: "Your Highness has worked hard these years..."
Ever since the second prince usurped the throne, he had watched helplessly as the helpless girl took the young Prince Jing to escape from the imperial capital, hid in Tibet, and grew up step by step to become the princess she is today.
He could see how much she suffered along the way.
Yang Liuqing shook his head and said with a smile: "The prime minister is the one who has done the hard work. Even at your age, you still have to run around with us. It is we who have dragged you down..."
Prime Minister Wang waved his hand and said: "I am tired, and I am willing to be tired. If I can see the day when His Highness ascends the throne, I will be tired to death, but I am willing to..."
Yang Liuqing smiled, discussed some things with him, and said, "I'll go over and see Master."
Prime Minister Wang watched her go out and caught a glimpse of the handsome and elegant handwriting on the open pages on his desk, and his eyes paused slightly.
He looked outside the door and saw that Her Royal Highness the Princess two years ago was completely different from today.
Two years ago, although she was fighting hard and working very hard, at that time she was confused and had no direction.
As of now, she no longer shows that confusion and helplessness. There is someone who guides her and all of them.
When Yang Liuqing walked into the next room, Miss Liu Er was looking at Qiu Shui's background.
"Master." She walked over and said softly.
Miss Liu Er came to her senses and asked, "Bai Su and the others are gone?"
Yang Liuqing nodded and said, "I just left with General Chen."
She looked at Miss Liu Er and said, "Master, there is nothing going on here for the time being. Why don't you go back to Ruyi City first? Bai Su and the others are here, so nothing will happen."
Miss Liu Er waved her hand and said: "No, there is nothing important to do when we go back. What he asked you to do next, show me the plan..."
…
Not long after, Yang Liuqing walked out of the room and came to the yard, looking at the stretching mountains in the distance.
Although there is nothing important there, there are important people there, but Master is never willing to face it...
It has been five years since the second year of Jinghe. If time goes forward, it will be even longer. For such a long time, even she, as an apprentice, has been worried about her...
…
Cangzhou, Chen County, county government.
It was getting late, and the magistrate of Chen County was still reading files in the front hall of the county government office.
Chen County has been a bit uneasy recently. Of course, Chen County has never been peaceful. When the Wu Kingdom was still peaceful, there were bandits here. Now that the Wu Kingdom is in chaos, there are not so many bandits here, and they have turned to riots again.
rebel.
Those bastards who had no sons could not defeat the regular army of the imperial court, and they did not dare to provoke the city where soldiers were stationed, so they only picked soft persimmons like the county government to attack.
His predecessors, including his predecessors, were all hacked to death by rebels who stormed into the county government office.
Since the country was in chaos, people have rebelled in every state and government. A place like Cangzhou, which was already in chaos, naturally became even more chaotic.
Every once in a while, dozens or nearly a hundred thugs storm into the county government office, chop down the county magistrate and several petty officials, proclaim themselves the "Emperor XXX", declare their dominance over Chen County, and then reward them based on their merits.
, grant officials and marquis...
This is how his former county magistrate died.
By the time Zhoucheng received the news and sent troops to exterminate the rebels, the county magistrate had already passed the first seven days.
Although there are also people who can attack the county government office, they only attack but do not occupy it. They seize food, weapons and horses. In short, they grab whatever they see and leave after they finish the robbery. Then they kill the county magistrate and a few petty officials - this
This is how his predecessor died.
In short, if someone rebels in Chen County, the first person to be unlucky will be the county magistrate.
The governor of Gouri has withdrawn all his troops to the state capital. In small county offices like these, they have to live with their heads tied to their belts. If they are not careful, they will become the target of rebellion and power.
He can survive to this day not because there are fewer people rebelling now, but because he is careful enough. As soon as he finds out the clues, he immediately raises his family to avoid trouble. Recently, illegal gatherings are often held in some villages in Chen County, and several people gather together.
Ten or hundreds of people, in troubled times, as long as more than ten people gather together, nothing good will happen. This is an iron rule, and it is also a bloody lesson he has learned through the death of his predecessor, his predecessor, and his predecessor.
If what they were discussing was rebellion, he was sure that the Chen County Government Office would be their primary target!
He may not be an official, but he must not refuse his life. This is the principle of life he always adheres to.
boom!
Just when he was looking through the files carefully, trying to find any clues, several muffled sounds suddenly came from outside the front hall door. Magistrate Chen's heart skipped a beat and he blurted out: "Who?"
No one answered him, and no one from the government officials who were usually on duty outside came in.
He ran to the back almost subconsciously. There was a secret passage that he had dug in advance. No matter what happened outside, he could run outside through that secret passage.
He is not curious about what is happening outside. He knows that the most curious people often die the fastest.
But as soon as he took two steps, a black shadow blocked his face.
The dark figure looked at him and asked, "Are you the magistrate of Chen County?"
"I'm not." He shook his head violently and said, "I'm afraid this strong man has recognized the wrong person. The magistrate is now in the inner house. How about I take you there?"
As he spoke, he walked outside the door, thinking that he would be out of danger once he alerted the government officials.
In the yard outside the front hall, a government servant was held with a knife on his neck. When he saw him coming out, his eyes lit up, he pointed at him and said: "My lord, this is our magistrate."
Magistrate Chen County had already greeted the eighteen generations of ancestors of the Yamen servant in his heart, turned to look at the black figure, knelt down with a thud, and said loudly: "Hero, forgive me, I am not the dog official you are looking for, I didn't do anything
All the evil things and bad things are done by the county magistrate and have nothing to do with me... I surrender, I surrender!"
The black figure looked at him and stood there, not knowing what to do for a moment.
He had already thought about how to force the magistrate of Chen County to submit if he resisted strongly. He thought of several methods, but he did not expect that the other party would surrender without even saying a word.
.
This feeling of exerting all your strength and punching the air with your fist is particularly uncomfortable.
He looked back at the other person and asked: "Sister Bai, what should we do? Do we need to divide the muscles and bones, or use poison?"
Separate muscles and bones, use poison...
When the magistrate of Chen County heard this, his eyes suddenly darkened...
