Chapter 823: Rule the Second House

That day.

Wu Nian talked a lot with Lu Sheng and others, and then he didn't care about pensions from his subordinates, so he asked them to meet with the Goguryeo officials he recruited in Jiangjie City immediately and start work.

Their work scope is Jiangjie Prefecture and Yizhou Prefecture.

With the current situation, of course, there is no way to work together.

Only Jiangjie City can be solved first.

The next morning.

The yamen runners composed of Goguryeo and some Liaodong Han people once again made publicity in the city, not only posted notices on the bulletin boards, but also beat drums and drums along the streets and shouted loudly.

At the same time, many officials left the city and visited the countryside.

The activities in the city are mainly aimed at large clans and squire.

The activities outside the city are of course aimed at ordinary people who thought their sons died in Liaodong.

Of course, Wu Nian could not guarantee that their sons and husbands would be alive. After all, he only captured 20,000 to 30,000 people.

Ten thousand people followed Li Yunchong, and Zhao Mancheng returned to Goguryeo. The rest were all dead.

But people always have a thought, right?

After Wu Nian entered the city, the strict military discipline shown by the army won certain trust from the people of Goguryeo.

When you first cross the river, there is no limit to empty words.

What should I use to win the trust of the people?

military discipline.

Most of the people believed in the propaganda of officials and looked forward to the day when their husbands and sons returned to Goguryeo.

The situation in the city is much more complicated.

Under Wu Nian's operation, the great clan and the gentry divided into three factions. One was a loyal loyal to the Jin Dynasty. The other wanted to follow Wu Nian and gain a prosperous future.

The remaining faction is the centrist.

The Cheng family is one of the gentry in Jiangjie City. It has been a hundred years since its founding. In this generation, in Jiangjie Mansion, it has thousands of acres of fertile land, two large houses, one small house and five shops in the city.

The accumulation of hundreds of years has made the Cheng family naturally develop in the direction of studying for the imperial examination.

Cheng Ruixiang, who is in charge of the family, is a serious juren with a high status and status. He has two sons under his knees. The eldest son is Cheng Jiushan and the second son is Cheng Jiuhai.

The eldest son Cheng Jiushan is a scholar and has passed the imperial examination for fame and fortune.

The second son, Cheng Jiuhai, had no talent for studying, but was able to dance with guns and sticks. That day, Wu Nian attacked Jiangjie City, and Cheng Jiuhai put on his armor and walked up to the city wall.

As a result, Wu Nianjun encountered each other and captured the city.

Although the city was not kept, Cheng Jiuhai saved his life. The main reason was that he lost too quickly, and many people survived in a daze.

If it was a bloody battle, I wonder how many people would die.

Cheng's mansion, in the main hall.

Cheng Ruixiang and his eldest son Cheng Jiushan sat on two magistrate chairs in the north, waiting anxiously. Soon after, Cheng Jiuhai walked in.

"How is it?" Cheng Ruixiang asked impatiently.

"Father, I've found out clearly. As long as you do what the government said, you can leave immediately."

"If you choose to stay, either join the general of the auxiliary Han Dynasty, Goguryeo Beppu, to help Wu Nian do business. Or you are under certain surveillance. The property cannot be transferred, otherwise you will be destroyed by the clan."

Cheng Jiuhai shook his head and said with a serious expression.

Cheng Jiushan immediately stomped his feet, stood up and said, "I thought I could pretend to agree to stay and then transfer the property. Unexpectedly, Wu Nian had a backup plan."

"Damn Wu Nian. He claimed to be [Goguryeo Beppu, the general of the auxiliary Han Dynasty] and his attitude was ambiguous. This was just a deceiving those who were lucky. How could he deceive me?"

"He wants to destroy Goguryeo."

"Wolf ambition, wolf ambition."

Cheng Ruixiang's face was also ugly and he cursed with saliva.

"What my father means...we will also clean up some gold, silver and fine materials, accept Wu Nianjun's investigation, and take his family out of Jiangjie Mansion to the capital?" Cheng Jiushan turned around and asked.

It is not easy to destroy Goguryeo. My father was also a juren from Goguryeo and had a very high status.

It is reasonable to abandon Jiangjiecheng's home business and go to the capital.

Besides, it’s a pity for the huge property in the family, and it’s even more a pity for the slaves. But as long as Goguryeo can win, they can get back the land and the house.

"I'll go and prepare immediately." Cheng Jiuhai nodded and planned to turn around and leave.

"Wait. Who said I was going to run away? How could the century-old foundation of our Cheng family be destroyed in my hands? Jiuhai. You can go to the General's Mansion of the Suihan and tell the officials. Our Cheng family chose to stay in Jiangjie Mansion and would never dare to leave without authorization."

Cheng Ruixiang called Cheng Jiuhai and shook his head repeatedly.

Cheng Jiushan and Cheng Jiuhai were speechless. You were the one who scolded Wu Nian for being ambitious, so why did you not leave?

Cheng Ruixiang glanced at the two stupid sons and said, "Goguryeo is not so easy to perish. But Wu Nian is not an ordinary person."

"Of course we chose to go against both sides. If Goguryeo wins, we will not surrender to the enemy no matter how much we say, but just surrender."

"If Wu Nian wins, we are not guilty."

"Who wins and who loses? We have all saved our home business. Why not do it?"

Speaking of this, Cheng Ruixiang glared at Cheng Jiuhai and scolded, "You might as well go."

"Yes." Cheng Jiuhai then realized and turned around and went down.

Since it was Cheng Ruixiang's decision, Cheng Jiushan did not dare to refute it. He just muttered in a low voice: "Father. This fence-riding school seems very calm, but it is also possible that it is not a human inside and outside, and there will be no good results in the end."

"Then you make a decision. Suppose to Wu Nian and join the General Sui Han's Mansion. Or give up your family business and go to the capital?"

"Do you have the ability to suppress this treasure?"

He was said to be a person inside and outside, but not a person. Cheng Ruixiang was so angry that he blew his beard and stared at him, scolding Cheng Jiushan.

Cheng Jiushan was speechless and could only bow his head and be scolded.

With Wu Nian's three tricks coming down, the big clans and gentry in the city made a decision. Whether it was those who gave up their family business, fled to the capital for their destiny, or those who joined the General's Mansion of the Han Dynasty.

All are very rare.

Most gentry and grand clans were fenceists. The main reason was military discipline, which made Wu Nian look gentle.

Wu Nian used non-violent means to successfully avoid a large number of squire and fled to the capital with his own property, slaves and desperately.

Become the force of Goguryeo's counterattack.

To a certain extent, it won over the people's hearts. After the pilot was successful, Wu Nian immediately opened the city gate and began to monitor the fenceists to a certain extent to prevent them from evading their property.

The production and life of the people in Jiangjiecheng has gradually returned to normal.

Then, with the efforts of Lü Sheng and the officials of Beppu, the auxiliary Han general Goguryeo, promoted this policy to cities.

During this process, many Goguryeo officials were also attracted.

It was slowly established, a [Beipu] that can truly rule the Jiangjie Prefecture, Yizhou Prefecture, and extend its tentacles to the countryside.

It was not until Wu Nian's subsequent infantrymen, escorted by the navy, that they crossed the Yalu River to reach the second palace.

Wu Nian's rule in the two prefectures was not as solid as a rock, but at least it was not rootless duckweed.

Having a little foundation.

That's all. As long as Wu Nian keeps winning, his rule will not collapse. To truly gain the trust of the people, it will take a drop of water to wear away the stone.

Three years, five years or even ten years of integrity in the government and military discipline were rectified.

Since the army of the seven lieutenants has arrived.
