Chapter 1894 You are a good official, and you can't stand the impotence of the court
In Hefei, the Luzhou government office on Huainan Road, a civil servant with a sword in his hand rushed out from the gate of the state government office. Hearing the shouts surging around him, although it was reported that the city guards secretly opened the city gate, causing Hefei to have
The troops and horses of the Qi Dynasty were rushing into the city, forming an encirclement. However, the increasingly noisy noises everywhere did not seem to be mixed with the fierce shouts of killing and the cries and screams of the people in the city. On the contrary,
When bursts of cheers that seemed to come from the people in the city reached his ears, the civil servant looked around at the surrounding officials, who were only about a hundred people, and at the increasingly panicked and hesitant look on the face of the reporting sergeant.
His face was full of sorrow and sorrow, and he couldn't help but stamp his feet and let out a long sigh...
By now, Qiu Ceng, who was then the envoy to the coastal system, the envoy to Huaixi and the magistrate of Luzhou, had clearly realized that Hefei, the seat of Luzhou, could no longer be defended.
Since becoming an official, he has successively held the posts of Dengcheng County Magistrate, Wuzhi County Magistrate, Gaomi Cheng and other official positions, and then transferred to the Jianghuai region. Qiu Cui, who was given an important task, previously led the soldiers and civilians of various places to resist the golden captives and fight against Liu Yu.
During his tenure, he not only tried his best to ensure the supply of Song soldiers who fought against the foreign invaders, but also dealt with lawsuits when dealing with local civil affairs. He was always respected and loved by the people wherever he went.
And Qiu Cui was promoted and re-employed by the Song court. While he was appointed the prefect of Luzhou, he also held important positions such as the envoy to the coastal system and the envoy to Huaixi. Of course, he was originally appointed to ensure the stability of the political situation in the Jianghuai area.
Liu Guangshi's commander was ordered to provide stable logistical supplies to the various Song troops who were ready to attack the Xiao and Tang rebels in the north at any time.
However, as Liu Guangshi was deprived of his military power and the rebel general Li Qiong instigated rebellion, most of the Song army's main troops who were originally stationed in the Jianghuai area turned their backs and surrendered to the rebel Xiao Tang... Huaidong and Huaixi, the net wind surrendered, and the surrounding areas
The officers and officers of the neighboring government departments either abandoned their defenses and fled, or they all followed the trend and joined the Northern Army... After Qiu Cang was frightened and angry, he still said that since we have been entrusted with the heavy responsibility of the imperial court, we have the responsibility to defend the land, that is
When the invaders arrived and could not resist, it was appropriate to die for the country, so they tried their best to organize the soldiers and civilians of Luzhou to clear the country and defend the city. They vowed to live and die with the city, and they were determined not to teach the rebels of Xiao and Tang to invade the rest of the Yangtze River and Huaihe River.
The state capital so easily captured Hefei, the administrative seat of Luzhou!
However, Qiu Chan soon realized that no matter how much he tried to mobilize the soldiers and civilians in the city to defend the territory to the death, it would be difficult to achieve any results.
Mr. Qiu, of course you are a good official who can make decisions for the people. If the Jurchen Tatars harm our country in the Central Plains, or if the rogue bandits come to cause chaos, we will defend the city with you even to the death. We are determined not to allow foreign invaders to harm us.
We have a blind date... But now you teach us to sacrifice the lives of our wives, children, and young ones, and would rather defend the city walls and clear the fields. Even if we struggle to run out of food and fodder, you still teach us to follow you and hold on until we are exhausted... Folks and elders,
Our family members are also worried and starving, but we are just holding on to resist Xiao Tang's army? Mr. Qiu, are you willing to die for the Song Dynasty, which makes us more and more disappointed, but we drag our family down?
Those with mouths only want to live a happy life, but we don’t want to!
Of course, some people earnestly persuaded Qiu Ceng that since Qiu Ceng was unwilling to surrender the city, he might as well abandon his office earlier and flee to the Bianjing court to revive his life. After all, it was a non-war crime, so why bother to defend the city here and wait to die? However,
Qiu Cun, however, accepted the truth. Not only did he angrily say that since ancient times, officials and thieves have always been incompatible, but for the sake of court integrity, he was determined not to abandon his duties even if he risked his own life. He also issued an order saying that anyone in Hefei City who instigates surrender
Thieves who disturb the morale of the army will not be spared, and they will serve as a warning to others...
As a result, Qiu Ceng, who was originally regarded as the Qingtian Grand Master by the people under Luzhou's rule, would inevitably suffer criticism from the people in the city. Ordinary people just hope that they and their families can live a peaceful life. Since the Jinren Tatars are not here to invade, What about the Song Dynasty and the Xiao and Tang Dynasties? Who should submit to the people but not be the common people under the rule? How many years can your Qiu Xianggong be a state official here? In the past, a corrupt official was exploited and wronged, and in the time of war, the government and the army came to rob us. We have also experienced the hard days of food supply. Maybe if we switch to Xiao Tang's rule, our lives will be more peaceful. Then why do you tie us together and accompany you to death?
At the same time, when several groups of Qi troops arrived at the important state capitals in the Jianghuai area of Hefei, Luzhou, they only set up an encirclement and surrounded the city. However, they did not immediately send troops to attack. Instead, there were sergeants all day long who tied up Xiao Yu soldiers. He shot an arrow into the city and announced to the people in the city:
It is the general trend for the Qi Dynasty to conquer the Jianghuai prefectures and counties in the Song Dynasty. Not only did I repeatedly show kindness to the people during my pilgrimage, but I will never harm the people of the Song Dynasty. When the city was destroyed, the people lived in peace, and if the soldiers guarding the city were willing to surrender, they would also Ding Xing Bao reported to the imperial court, and added rewards and appointments. However, if the soldiers and civilians in the city are stubborn and stubborn, the Qi army is already ready to attack Hefei and has no choice but to attack. It will inevitably break the city by force, and the innocent people in the city will be in vain. ...And all the counties and places around Hefei have been conquered by our Qi Dynasty. Even if our army does not want to commit murder, there are still grains and grains left in the city, but what can we do? God has the virtue of good life, and I only hope that the soldiers and civilians in the city will know how to do it. To gain benefits, one must act with great righteousness and submit to the Qi Dynasty. Otherwise, it is inevitable that good people will suffer military disasters in vain and the people will be devastated by war. This is really regrettable...
Although the words of the military notices shot into the city also contain some intimidation and intimidation, the text hints that it has contributed to the current situation where the people in Hefei City are being roasted on the fire, and they have to face or besieged the city in a brutal battle. Perhaps the person who is about to face the dangerous situation of long-term eating of chaffy vegetables, or even cannibalism, is also the stubborn and loyal enemy of the Song Dynasty. And he is here to deal with a few stubborn individuals who threaten the soldiers and civilians in the city and still have to resist. Needless to say, the final proclamation came from Wu Yong, the wise star who came with the army to discuss the rapid capture of the state capitals in Jianghuai. He had previously used this kind of scheming to capture the Jingdong and East roads, which can be regarded as a great achievement. 's handwriting.
No matter how capable Qiu Chan is, he is upright and clear, after all, he is not an omniscient and omnipotent living god. Although he tried his best to thoroughly investigate the military notices shot into the city and spread them among the military and civilians, he could not prevent the people in the city from spreading. The resentment of Qiu Cun, who was unwilling to die to resist Xiao Tang's takeover of the city, was stimulated and spread rapidly. However, Qiu Cun's reputation and prestige was established in various counties under Luzhou's rule because of his clean and honest administration and his love for the people. Even if most of the soldiers and civilians in the city had someone who had already planned to surrender to the Xiao, Tang and Qi dynasties, they would not try to cut off his head and use it to claim credit, or directly tie him up to ask for a reward from the Qi army...
However, Qiu Xianggong supervised the fortifications at various city gates, and he was definitely unable to do everything. Before he noticed it, we, the soldiers and civilians in the city who had already made up their minds, opened the city gates, and no matter how hard it was, we were fighting as before. , Xiao Tang, who was also widely praised for not harming or humiliating the loyal ministers and martyrs of the Song Dynasty... Nowadays, the Qi Dynasty's army is so interested in petitioning, this is still possible.
At this moment, Qiu Cun had to find himself in a predicament where the enemy troops could easily break into the city gate, and even the common people in the city led the way and went straight to the state government office to encircle and surround them. Vaguely,
Qiu Cai also saw many common people leading the way, approaching the Qi Dynasty army and horses from the long street around the prefecture government office. Qiu Cai looked around with a sad and angry expression, and saw that there were many important roads in the surrounding neighborhoods.
In a normal situation, I stood stunned for a moment, Qiu Cun smiled miserably, and four words suddenly came to my mind... Sacrifice yourself for your country!
