Chapter 101 Listen to (1)

Hongze Town.

At noon, the sky was gloomy and the sky was heavy with thick clouds. The cool breeze hit. Suddenly, a deep thunder and a lightning bolt fell, and the raindrops crackled down.

At this time, the two of them took shelter from the rain and leaned against a restaurant.

Both of them were very young, wearing gray wide-sleeved robes, neat and spotless. One of them said, "Young master, this shop is good. It's noon. How about we go in?"

The young man who was called the young master was younger and said with a smile: "Okay!"

These two people are actually Wang Hongyi and Zhang Youzhi. Seeing that the downstairs were so lively and noisy, Wang Hongyi couldn't help but frown and said, "This is too messy, let's go upstairs!"

The pagoda shouted: "Objective, please go upstairs!"

I followed the hall upstairs and saw the screens separated by elegant seats.

It seems that the business is good. People come in and out of the building upstairs and downstairs. The eight elegant seats upstairs are separated by screens, but they are talking and singing, which is very lively.

When we arrived at Yashi, we ordered a few five or six dishes. The dishes were served very quickly. In a few minutes, the paotang brought a large plate of steaming wine and dishes to the mat.

Zhang Youzhi looked around and said, "It's only a few days since the Hongze Mansion has returned to its liveliness!"

As he said that, he raised his glass to honor Wang Hongyi. Wang Hongyi smiled and ate the food, he heard someone drinking and talking about it in the private room next door.

"I heard that Marshal Du has become the commander-in-chief now? Isn't this a relegation?" Someone lowered his voice, but he still said in a very thick voice.

"It's been demoted, but it's still a fifth-rank general. This is to protect the Du family, so he handed over Hongze County to General Yu Dingyuan." Someone replied: "General Dingyuan has 3,300 soldiers, which is not a small number."

"What I mean is that as of this situation, if you don't show up the city the next day, General Dingyuan will only take a few days to capture Hongze City, but both sides will suffer greater losses. This is a wise move by Coach Du."

"General Dingyuan is full of talents. Look, wherever General Fan went, Heping County, Jiuhuai County, surrendered immediately, led his troops to Dingyuan County, first defeated the two counties, and then attacked the city, so that the prefect of Dingyuan County would surrender. Hehe, now, four counties have fallen into the hands of General Dingyuan."

These are all good words, and Wang Hongyi looked happy when he heard this.

A while ago, Wang Zhenjun set up camp. In the early morning of the next day, Du Gongzhen left the city in person and was willing to surrender.

After receiving the news of Du Gongzhen's surrender, Wang Hongyi was naturally overjoyed and won a county and a general at the same time.

Immediately stated that Du Gongzhen was appointed as the general of Yidu.

Half a day later, the streets in the city were cleared, and the gates of Hongze City were opened. The army entered and controlled the entire Hongze County. They were busy restoring the city.

Three days later, all the bodies of the battle were buried. At this time, Fan Liuhai said that he had surrendered to Heping County, Jiuhuai County, and obtained 600 soldiers. When he arrived at Dingyuan County, he first defeated the two counties and received 500 soldiers. When he arrived in front of the prefecture, there were more than 2,000 people who claimed to be the vanguard, and the fox pretended to be the tiger's power, actually sent the prefect of Dingyuan County to surrender.

On the fifth day, Dingyuan County and Hongze County were in hand. Wang Hong ordered the county magistrate Yu Zhao to be the prefect of Dingyuan County and the original imperial military supervisor Hu Ce to be the prefect of Hongze County.

As for the county magistrates and military system below, they are arranged one by one.

The army was still suppressed, and at this time, the four counties were basically pacified. Only then did they have time to come out to breathe, which was also called a so-called private visit.

At this time, another person whispered: "Just tell me something, I heard that Old Shuai Wei is almost out of reach."

"It's not very good. I can't stand up when I go back. I lie down and refuse to die. The two sons below are still competing for the throne!"

"After quarrels, I'm afraid that General Dingyuan will be cheaper." Someone said disdainfully.

"Speaking of this, I heard that the court scolded General Dingyuan?"

"Court? Humph, what's the use of the small court in the south now? What's the use of this imperial edict? Even if you find someone who obeys the imperial edict, you can't find it."

"Shh, you can't say this." Some people felt uneasy. Although the court declined, most people still dare not say bad things about the court.

Wang Hongyi couldn't help but smile when he heard this.

After defeating Wei Cundong and conquering Dingyuan County, the land baptized by war was soon restored to life. In the four counties, according to the orders, the checkpoints were abolished and merchants could freely circulate.

Yu Zhao, Hu Ce and others are experienced old officials themselves. They have talent in governing their territory, and they are doing their best at this time.

In less than half a month, the four counties, including Hongze County, had been pacified. It cannot be said that they live and work in peace, but the peaceful scene is no less than before the war.

Of course, this battle in Shu was spread to the imperial capital.

Wei Yue remained silent after hearing this, but finally got the news, but it was the emperor.

The emperor was helpless about the deliberate concealment of this matter by the imperial court. He just ordered the orders to rebuke the various vassal states in Shu, and then turned to the inner court to continue enjoying themselves.

But after this order arrived in Shu, it seemed as if the stones were sinking into the sea and there was no sound. Indeed, I can't even find someone who was obeying the imperial edict now.

The Thirteen Divisions in Wang Hongyi's hands began to spread to the counties in Shu through the Song family and Yinmen.

After this great victory, the Song family and Yinmen were even more active. In response to these battles, they promoted Wang Hongyi's reputation of wiseness and virtue. Needless to say, after defeating Wei Cundong, anyone with a discerning eye could see Wang Hongyi's future. Therefore, the publicity was particularly effective and spread throughout Shu.

The person who just shouted may not be a pawn.

However, Wang Hongyi's army was indeed disciplined and had no harm to the people wherever they passed, and had a new look.

The situation in Shu was even more chaotic, and people, scholars, nobles, restaurants, teahouses, and gatherings were everywhere discussing this battle. Although the subsequent battle situation could not be heard by these people for a while, the previous situation was enough for them to discuss after dinner.

Even the children of large clans who have an hostile position or those in power have to recognize the abilities Wang Hongyi showed.

Before the war, there were voices saying that Wang Hongyi's achievements are just because he has influenced his father's embrace, and he was speechless at this time.

Of course, it is hard to say how many people grind steel teeth secretly.

Listening to the people next to him stop talking, Wang Hongyi and Zhang Youzhi looked at each other and smiled, and then went down after eating.

When I left the door, I came out of the warm restaurant. The raindrops hit my face, my whole body was full of excitement and my spirits were refreshed.

"Young Master, the rain is still a little cold. I'll go buy an umbrella later." Zhang Youzhi felt a few raindrops fall on his face and neck. He wiped his face and said, then he walked towards a shop not far away.

After a while, he took the umbrella over again, and Wang Hongyi smiled and held it up.

The two of them walked silently in the rain. At this time, it was almost May and they were no longer afraid of the cold with an umbrella.

The wind and rain make people feel sad. Looking at the spotless street hit by the rain, Wang Hongyi said: "You should be the county magistrate first. When Chengdu is defeated, I will call myself the Marquis of Wei, establish an official system, and establish a center. You can also transfer it. You are really inseparable."

Zhang Youzhi was also a little dazed when he walked in this world of rain, not knowing where he was. This words reminded him that he knew that the world had changed. He was already the seventh-rank county magistrate and the young lord's planner. He suddenly trembled and woke up. After thinking for a while, he said, "How dare the general praise him so much? I really kill me... Chengdu is no longer a problem. The lord waits for a while and can take it immediately after Wei Cundong dies. He is just solid in the past."

"You are right. Recently, many people have surrendered, some of whom are famous and famous. I only have one purpose. When I became an official, I was just a team leader. Therefore, if these famous people want to start, they must start with the orders of officials. Of course, things are not absolute. For example, if the prefect of Dingyuan County surrenders, I cannot exempt him from his official position and transfer him to the fifth rank of senior official position. In the future, he will be even more likely to be a prefect."

"But the purpose has been decided. The officials are the leaders of the three officials. They are close to the people. They don't even want to be the official. They just want to act as a mighty person. I really don't want it." Speaking of this, Wang Hongyi's voice was cold, but his tone was melancholy.

"The lord is talking about the right reason. Only by either in charge of civil affairs or busy with government affairs can you know the truth. When you become an official in the future, you will have a foundation and will not be fooled by the subordinates." Zhang Youzhi sighed.

"You are right, that's it." Wang Hongyi suddenly stopped and saw an open space not far away. Although the rain was shining, the porridge shed was still open.

In Wenyang, Changding County, there were basically no refugees, and they were all assigned to each county and township to establish household registration to reclaim wasteland. However, this place was not right, and it was just now decided that most of the people who came to the porridge shed to eat were wandering people who were wandering because of the war.

Wang Hongyi issued an order that he did not want his territory to starve to death, so these refugees could get a bowl of food to fill their stomachs.

Wang Hongyi did not just indulge in resettlement of refugees.

At this time, it seemed that he saw a group of officials inspecting him. If he didn't know new people, he would register immediately.

These refugees can eat every day, but in fact, every day, each county and township arrange refugees to register and take them into the register to cultivate them in batches so that they can be self-sufficient.

If you don’t want to work, you will immediately take it down after a few times and demote it to a slave. This practice is extremely benevolent and righteous, and no one can tell you.

At this time, the aroma of rice porridge was already spreading in the air, and hundreds of refugees were waiting in line, looking at the porridge shed with anticipation.

"Lord, this is your kindness!" Zhang Youzhi also saw it and sighed, "Thousands of people will be alive at once."

"This is not a merit, it's just a duty." Wang Hongyi shook his head and said, holding a tripod on his head, making an ethereal sound of the tripod, which had expanded one level and turned into a fourth-grade tripod weapon. The white air flowed into it and was transformed into a green air.

It is still light green, occupying two-thirds of the area of ​​the new tripod, but it has twice as much luck as before.
