Chapter 1088 Fushan County

Sun Zhen's words were naturally unreasonable, but Han Qin had never been questioned like this before. He was actually stunned for a moment, and after a moment he responded: "This is the seat of Fushan County, and you are going to gather the people here."

, naturally you have to go to the county government to report and get permission from the county magistrate first."

Sun Zhendao: "Can the magistrate manage affairs? The slums all over the county are the result of the magistrate's administration?"

"Bold!" Han Qin scolded: "If it hadn't been for the magistrate's full rescue, Fushan County would have been starved to death! Go and ask in front of us, and find out which of these people are not grateful and respectful to the magistrate!"

Sun Zhen sneered and said: "It has been one or two years since the Denglai Rebellion ended, and these people have not been able to rebuild their homes. Is this also the result of the county magistrate's governance?"

Han Qin was about to refute, but Sun Zhen continued: "If the county magistrate really cares about the lives and deaths of the people, he should take the initiative to go out of the city and discuss with us face to face how to save these people."

Han Qin's face was as dark as water, and he shook his head and said: "What you said...is against the rules. If you don't abide by the local laws, I won't let you do whatever you want. Unless the magistrate speaks, you are not allowed to enter the vicinity of the county town!"

Before Sun Zhen could speak, Liu Xian pulled him aside and asked in a low voice: "Why don't you do what he said and go to the city to see the county magistrate?"

Sun Zhen responded: "I'm afraid this person doesn't have any good intentions. When he was talking to us, he kept his hand on the handle of the knife and never put it down. He took the initiative to invite you into the city, so he may have evil intentions."

Liu Xiandao: "If we don't have good relations with the government, how will we proceed? I think we still have to go there."

Sun Zhen shook his head and said: "Don't forget the commander's instructions before we set off, safety first! If you enter the city alone, if something happens, we won't be able to rescue you outside the city. Even if you want to see the county magistrate, we can only ask

The other party came out of the city to meet you, so it is not appropriate to enter the city now."

Before the field team left Zhifu Bay, both Harugong and Qian Tiandun gave special lectures, asking them to first ensure their own safety during the execution of their missions. The soldiers of the special operations battalion and the cavalry battalion are elites in the military.

Personal value far exceeds those of refugees. The command does not want soldiers to take greater risks to obtain immigration resources. The loss of any soldier is an irreversible loss for Haihan, resulting in the loss of his position.

Vacancies cannot be filled simply by the number of immigrants.

Sun Zhenzhen interrupted the conversation between Liu Xian and Han Qin because his boss attached great importance to safety issues, and deliberately made trouble so that Han Qin could not continue the conversation. However, Liu Xian had fewer opportunities to go out to perform tasks, so for potential

Threat and Sun Zhen's reminder were a bit late and did not realize Sun Zhen's intention at the first time.

Liu Xiandao: "That's the truth, but the task must still be completed with all your strength. So in your opinion, how should we dispatch these government servants?"

"It's simple. I'll be the one to do the evil." Sun Zhen patted his chest and said, "Let me tell you first. Do you believe me?"

Liu Xian nodded and said, "I have heard about Platoon Leader Sun's deeds since I first arrived in Zhoushan. He is brave and resourceful, and he should be regarded as a model in the army. Even Chief Ha has praised him, so I am naturally convinced."

The deeds Liu Xian mentioned were Sun Zhen's battle experience in which three people fought desperately to cover the retreat of his comrades during a mission in Miaoli. Although the purpose of Haihan's actions in Miaoli was kept secret, the outstanding performance of Sun Zhen and others was.

It had already spread among the military and was promoted as a combat hero. Although Liu Xian's military position was higher than that of Sun Zhen, in terms of reputation and experience in performing combat missions abroad, he was indeed lower than Sun Zhen, so for Sun Zhen

He did not dare to ignore the opinions given by him.

Now that Liu Xian had expressed his attitude, Sun Zhen no longer said any more polite words. He walked back to Han Qin and said, "Captain Han, we already understand what you mean. We just hope that we can have a meeting with the county magistrate first.

If you petition him face to face, fine, we will follow you into the city and meet with the county magistrate."

After Sun Zhen finished speaking, he raised his voice and ordered: "Everyone, listen to the order and mount the horse!"

The dozens of people in the field team immediately got on their horses and were waiting for orders. Han Qin was a little panicked when he saw this posture. He originally wanted to trick the leader Liu Xian into the city, and after he captured them, he asked them what they were doing.

The real identity and purpose of the visit will be determined later. But if the other party wants to enter the city collectively, the dozens of soldiers in the county may not be able to stop the horse team at all. And he saw that many of the horses were carrying long cloth bags.

, seemed to be equipped with weapons such as swords and bows. If this cavalry team instantly transformed into a team of cavalry, the small town of Fushan County would be lively.

Seeing that the situation was not going well, Han Qin quickly said: "Brother, please speak slowly. You cavalry team cannot enter the city at will!"

Sun Zhen smiled and said: "Didn't you ask us to go see the magistrate? Why don't you lead the way!"

Han Qin still dared to take them into the city at this time. He secretly regretted that he had spoken rashly just now. He could only prevaricate: "There are still a lot of refugees in this county. The streets are narrow and it is inconvenient for horses to enter the city. It's better to do this. I'll do it first.

Go back to the city and report to the county magistrate, and he will make a decision."

When Sun Zhen saw that Han Qin refused to let the cavalry enter the city, he was even more sure that the other party had something up his sleeve. However, due to Han Qin's status as a public servant, it was not easy to detain him in broad daylight, so he let him go.

, so he went back to the city to report to his superiors.

"Then should we wait here for news or what?" Seeing Han Qin and his party leave, Wang Jinmin, who was already impatient, came over again to ask for instructions.

Sun Zhendao: "You really plan to wait! Our time is precious, how can we wait for the Fushan County government to respond. Listen to me, while no one is in the way, hurry up and distribute the promotional materials."

Sun Zhen took the lead, and the cavalry team immediately divided into four groups and went to the four directions of the county, southeast, northwest, and posted publicity notices. Although the people were still very panicked about the arrival of these riders, they huddled in their shacks and stayed indoors.

But this reaction was basically within Haihan's expectation. After all, this is an area that has experienced war, and there must be strong vigilance against groups of unidentified outsiders. However, in this way, the soldiers

Posting notices in the slums outside the city is no hindrance.

The cavalry activities outside the city were quickly noticed by the defenders on the city, and then quickly spread to the county government in the city. However, when Han Qin returned to the city, he had already notified all the city gates on all sides to be closed, so there was no news yet.

greater danger.

Fushan County Magistrate Zhang Pucheng and the garrison commander Huang Qu were listening to Han Qin's report. They were also somewhat undecided about the intentions of this unidentified cavalry team.

Zhang Pucheng said: "Master Huang, in your opinion, what do these so-called Haihan people want?"

Huang Qu looked at the Haihan recruitment notice on the table, slowly twirled his beard and said: "Anyone who causes trouble is seeking power and wealth. The bandits in Shandong are also doing this, but

Since these people claim to have occupied Zhifu Bay to accommodate refugees, it stands to reason that Qishan Qianhu should be aware of it, but why is there not even the slightest bit of news about it?"

Huang Qu didn't know that Haihan had already met Feng Fei from Qishan Qianhu Station before, but Feng Fei sent the news to the nearby guard station and Dengzhou City first, but he didn't have time to take care of Fushan.

On the county side. As for whether this negligence was intentional or unintentional, it's hard to say.

Zhang Pucheng said: "Just after Han Dutou returned to the city, he has sent people to Qishan Suo City. It is estimated that there will be news back tomorrow."

Huang Qu said: "These people said that they would open grain warehouses in Zhifu Bay to help refugees. Even if the people are suspicious, they may not be able to resist the temptation. After all, many people will go there to try their luck. We must try to stop this matter.

, I'm afraid it won't stop people's hearts. Mr. Zhang, in my opinion, I'd better try my best to take care of the defense of the county city first to avoid being taken advantage of by bad guys. As for the people outside the city, I think it's better to let them stay and stay as they please, so as not to attract complaints.

.”

Zhang Pucheng frowned and said: "If the Haihan people hold the people hostage and threaten the county to surrender and offer the city, wouldn't it be very troublesome? Should we send people out of the city to drive them away?"

Huang Qu responded: "If they really want to rebel, Fushan County will not be able to handle it. Now the garrison in the city plus three squads of government officials total less than a hundred people. Even if the people are recruited, there won't be much available.

We are very lucky to be able to defend the county seat with these few people. If we go out of the city to fight against them, using foot against horse, we will have no advantage at all! Besides, the other party has not acted beyond the rules so far. If there is a conflict, innocent people will be hurt.

, that’s not appropriate either.”

Zhang Pucheng made some sense when he thought about it. It was just that these uninvited guests were operating outside the city, but he had difficulty controlling their intentions. After all, he was still uneasy in his heart. He immediately suggested: "Why don't you and I go to the top of the city to take a look? If there is any movement,

So that we can supervise the battle in time."

As a military attache, Huang Qu had the responsibility to defend the city, so he naturally would not refuse. At that moment, Zhang Pucheng left the county office with him and went to the north gate where the cavalry first appeared. The city wall of Fushan County is only two feet high, and the tower above the city gate

It was only the size of a wing room, which could fit a dozen people in. The two of them took their entourage to the city tower and looked at the situation outside the city. They saw more than ten knights still riding horses back and forth in the shack area outside the city. However, these people saw

It didn't look like he was deliberately causing trouble, but he was posting notices everywhere.

At this time, some brave people saw that these strangers showed no malice, so they came out to watch the fun. Sun Zhen took some candies from his pocket, distributed them to the curious children who were watching, and taught them to unwrap them.

of wax paper and put it in your mouth.

Not to mention children, even Sun Zhen himself could not resist its wonderful taste when he first tasted this kind of candy. It has many flavors and is colorful. It is both beautiful and delicious. It is also a hot-selling product in Fuzhou and Guangzhou.

One. It is said that there are higher-grade milk candies, but those low-yield products are in short supply and must be exported or specially supplied by the commander-in-chief. Sun Zhen has not had the chance to taste them yet. This time when he went out to perform the mission, every soldier had

I have a lot of them, firstly, they can be used to win over children, and secondly, these candies can also play a role in replenishing calories when necessary.

Sure enough, this method was very effective. Soon many children gathered around, followed by more and more people. Sun Zhen quickly asked the propaganda officer in the team to stand on a high place and preach to these people about the sea.

Han's disaster relief measures and immigration policies. As long as no one from the government comes out to obstruct it, Sun Zhen is sure that such street propaganda will have a certain effect, because he himself encountered a business recruiting immigrants for Hai Han in Haizhou.

After listening to the immigration policy presentation, I decided to get on the ship and go to the south.

For war refugees who have nothing and even survival is a problem, what could be more attractive than having a house, land, and a stable and peaceful living environment? The beautiful prospects Haihan painted for immigrants are all based on the experience of

After special careful research, a publicity plan was formulated based on the psychological needs of immigrants. There are really not many people who can resist the temptation. Moreover, Haihan also made full use of the herd mentality. Almost all of these publicity officers fled from Shandong in the past two years.

The people who went out naturally had stronger persuasiveness when conducting propaganda based on their own experiences.

"Dear fellow villagers, I am from Qixia County in the west. When the Confucius rebelled two years ago, I fled with my family to the south. In Haizhou, I met good people from Shanghai and Han Dynasty recruiting immigrants. I felt uneasy like you at first, but after I went to the south

I will allocate houses and land to my family and settle them down. Everyone, the territory under Haihan's control is not as chaotic as Shandong. Only when you go there will you know what it means to be in peace and prosperity, a paradise..."

The propaganda officer spoke so eloquently and so clearly that Sun Zhen felt that it was even more inflammatory than the propaganda he heard at first. The residents of slums like this outside Fushan County were obviously refugees who lacked food and clothing. Even if

Some of them will find it difficult to leave their homeland, but there will certainly be many people like Sun Zhen who are willing to take a chance on an unknown future. As long as some people try, herd mentality and scale effects will drive more

Many people go to Zhifu Bay.

Of course, it is inevitable that the people will have many questions about this kind of immigration-style relief, so personnel, including soldiers, must spend a lot of time answering various questions for the people. This is for people who are good at using force to solve problems.

For Sun Zhen, it was not a happy job.

When Zhang Pucheng and Huang Qu saw this scene on the top of the city, they felt more uneasy. They didn't know Haihan's real purpose of inciting these people to go to Zhifu Bay, but they subconsciously thought that the other party's intentions were not simple and definitely not theirs.

It is a disaster relief method as perceived. But luckily among the misfortunes, at least this group of uninvited guests did not use violent means to achieve their goals, otherwise it would be really difficult for local officials like them to deal with it.

"Looking on the bright side, at least it's better than the common people taking refuge with bandits." Huang Qu could only use this helpless saying to comfort the county magistrate Zhang Pucheng.

Zhang Pucheng snorted and said: "These Haihan people are from the sea. It is impossible to say that these people did not become bandits, but became pirates!"
