Chapter 229: The first stop after taking power(1/2)
Yang Wanfu led a group of people and marched ten miles away.
It has been eight months since I left Bianliang for Qianzhou in April.
It was spring when the flowers were blooming, but now it is freezing cold and the north wind is blowing.
Fortunately, he finally completed the task assigned to him by Xiao Cheng.
This is an answer that goes beyond the standard answer. Xiao Cheng only wanted to win Dushan, but Yang Wanfu went all out and got Sanshui, Nanping Prefecture and Xunzhou for Xiao Cheng.
Among the people who greeted Xiao Cheng today, Bai Xing from Sanshui, Wei Fu from Xunzhou, and everyone from Nanping Prefecture were all gathered together.
Needless to say, Sanshui Baixing, Xunzhou Wei Fu borrowed a huge debt. Although he suppressed the rebellion in Xunzhou, his strength was greatly reduced. He killed a thousand enemies and lost eight hundred. In desperation, he could only ask Yang Wanfu
Lower your head.
As for Nanping Prefecture, after Liang Chengyi died, the prefecture was fighting for power and killing each other. Before all of them were killed, Yang Wanfu had already led his men to kill them. With the heads rolling in, the original power was completely destroyed.
Finally, Sun Jing arrived at Cangxi, the seat of Nanping Prefecture, with 500 fully armed soldiers led by Wei Wu, and became the new magistrate of Nanping Prefecture. Although Sun Jing was from Dushan, he was famous among the surrounding areas because of his superb medical skills.
He had a great reputation internally, and by appointing him as the magistrate, the resentment of the people of Nanping Prefecture was minimized.
Of course, those who were unconvinced have now gone to the Lord of Hell to complain.
Regarding who will be in charge of these Jizhou Prefectures, Qianzhou has always recognized whoever is reported by the local government, but there is no need for the superiors to be inaccurate. What's more, now the head of Qianzhou has become Xiao Cheng and Xiao Erlang!
In fact, neither Bai Xing nor Wei Fu nor Sun Jing knew who Xiao Cheng was, but Yang Wanfu's cruelty, Jia Gui's cunning, Fan Yifei and Wei Wu's bravery had already convinced them
My heart was filled with fear.
In the past, when they sat in a well and looked at the sky, staying on one-third of an acre of land, they only felt that the King of Heaven and I were first and they were second. But when these powerful dragon-like figures came over, they realized their fragility.
Now they are all curious about Xiao Cheng.
Because they found that whether it was Yang Wanfu or Jia Gui, when they mentioned the new signing in Qianzhou, their tone of voice was extremely respectful, and they did not dare to be disrespectful.
On the other hand, Ma Liang, the magistrate of Qianzhou, was obviously not in the eyes of these two people. They all mentioned him by the same surname as Ma, and there was no sense of respect for him.
Bai Xing and others lived in a secluded corner, and all they knew about Xiao Cheng came from the few words of Yang Wanfu and others. Now everyone was full of curiosity about this 18-year-old signer.
But one thing is very clear, this signing and Yang Wanfu and others are definitely on the same team.
"Here we come, here we come!" Someone with sharp eyes looked at the people and horses appearing at the end of the road and shouted. The group of people who were shivering in the cold wind immediately became energetic.
In such weather, standing in the wind and snow for half an hour, even though everyone was wrapped up like a bear, was still uncomfortable.
The wind was all-pervasive, pricking my buttocks like steel needles.
Xiao Cheng, who came on horseback, still feels uncomfortable now.
For a northerner, spending the winter in the south for the first time is indeed not a good experience.
It's dry and cold in Bianliang, very cold, very cold.
And here, the damp and sticky cold seems to penetrate into the bones. Snow seeds fall in the air, but except for the occasional white spots on the treetops, the snow seeds fall
There was no trace on the ground.
The road is extremely muddy.
The original color of the lower half of the big white horse brought back from the northwest can no longer be seen, and has almost turned into an earthy yellow.
Even though Xiao Cheng was wrapped up very tightly, chilblains appeared on his ears and hands along the way.
Now he regretted not following Lu Ze's suggestion and coming over in a carriage.
The road conditions here are too poor. In Xiao Cheng's opinion, riding a carriage is just asking for trouble. You are afraid that even your bones will be broken when you reach the end of the field. It is better to ride a horse and reach your destination as soon as possible.
But he miscalculated how much he could withstand the weather in the south, and God gave him an unceremonious blow. From the moment he left Qianzhou, there were either freezing rain or snow seeds flying along the way.
"I've seen the signature!"
"I've met Erlang!"
Yang Wanfu and Jia Gui took the lead to step forward and salute Xiao Cheng with their hands crossed. The different names immediately showed the distance between them and Xiao Cheng.
Xiao Cheng's attitude towards the two of them also fully demonstrated this. To Jia Gui, he just nodded, but to Yang Wanfu, he reached out affectionately to help him out, and said enthusiastically: "Brother Yang,
It’s been a really hard time.”
Yang Wanfu chuckled, "Fortunately, I lived up to the signing instructions."
"What Brother Yang has done has far exceeded my expectations." Xiao Cheng said with a smile: "This has laid a solid foundation for future management of this area. Brother Yang, please introduce this to me.
What a hero!"
As the nominal second-in-command in Qianzhou and the actual controller, the first thing Xiao Cheng did when he arrived here was to reassure everyone, especially people like Bai Xing and Wei Fu who originally controlled the place.
Emperor Tu. Even though they are all smiling and looking very happy, outsiders don't know what they are thinking deep down.
This is also one of the main purposes of Xiao Cheng's visit this time. If these people don't calm down and give up, they will inevitably have to spend more time in the future.
If you want to explore this place, you still have to rely on these local snakes.
As for the soldiers below, they were easy to dispatch. This time Xiao Cheng came, dragging carts full of yellow copper coins.
Send money!
Give out food!
Fat wine and meat!
The simplest move to win people's hearts is also the most effective.
These soldiers at the lowest level can only hope for this. Those who really hope that they can be soldiers, after all, are only a very small number of individuals.
There were cheers like a mountain roaring and a tsunami coming from outside. It was the soldiers who had received their rewards. Standing by the window, Xiao Cheng looked at the smiling soldiers outside who had received money, food and materials. His face was also full of joy.
The look of joy.
"Signing, are you really not going to have a few words with them?" Yang Wanfu stood beside him and said, "They have received so many rewards, so they must know who gave them to them!"
In Yang Wanfu's opinion, this is naturally the best time to win people's hearts. If Xiao Cheng goes out and talks a few words at this time, these soldiers will naturally understand who brings these benefits.
Xiao Cheng shook his head, stretched out his hand, and closed the window. He looked back at the people in the room and said, "No matter how much I give to the soldiers, they will only remember this moment, and they will only think about it."
I just say that I am a good official. But when something really happens, they still listen to you in the room."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed slightly.
"I am a little far away from them!" Xiao Cheng said with a smile: "To them, I am just a title, and you are the living people in their hearts. Everyone, if you want to say something unpleasant,
If you have been following me, they will naturally follow me. If one day you betray me, how can these people follow me?"
The words were very rough, but I responded with a sentence, the words were rough but not rough.
Although the people in this room have all read books, they can only be said to be literate. As for the level of reading and understanding, it is simply impossible. Tian Yi, who has followed him here now,
In Qianzhou Prefecture School, he was the person with the lowest ranking in terms of talent and learning, but standing here, standing in front of these people, he could say that he was full of moral principles without any shame.
So Xiao Cheng told these people in the most straightforward terms that it is useless for me to win over these soldiers. Winning over you is what I really want to do.
One sentence made everyone in the room have different thoughts at this time.
Xiao Cheng is too lazy to care about this. He has always believed that absolute loyalty will only happen to a small number of people in this world, and such people are definitely rare creatures. The so-called loyalty is, after all, based on
On the basis of consistent interests. Only when everyone is always walking on the same path can we talk about loyalty. Only if you can keep giving these people what they want can there be loyalty.
If one day you can no longer give them these, or someone will give them more, then loyalty will probably leave you.
Of course, many times, such a naked struggle for interests and utilitarianism will be overwhelmed by gorgeous words and spring and autumn writing. Let the world see more beauty, loyalty, and loyalty. In fact, every high-ranking person
What the person must do.
Missionary work is one thing, and it is for ordinary people. But if the person in charge really believes in this, he will definitely not do well. It can even be said that whoever follows such a person will be unlucky sooner or later.
things.
When doing things, you must take advantage of the situation, and it varies from person to person. Sometimes it is common to be shameless and betrayal.
If those admirable and noble virtues in interactions between people are applied to one force against another force, or one country against another country, it will probably be a disaster.
Therefore, there is such a saying, there is no justice in national war!
In the confrontation between the two countries, it is normal to use any means. What is extremely cruel to one side will be a great benefit to the other side.
"Everyone, take a seat!" Xiao Cheng sat on the main seat without hesitation, waved his hand and said to everyone.
Everyone looked at each other, moved to both sides, and found their seats to sit down.
The smile on his face faded, and his eyes quietly scanned everyone's faces.
From Yang Wanfu down, everyone felt a little shuddered in their hearts. Xiao Cheng, who was chatting and laughing with everyone outside earlier, seemed kind-hearted, at this moment, became cold in the eyes of everyone.
The temperature in the room seemed to have dropped a bit.
"We are all our own people in this room, so I won't pretend to be pretentious." Xiao Cheng's voice was very soft, and there was not much emotion that could be heard, but the people in the room straightened up subconsciously. "You might as well tell everyone that right now,
Mr. Xiao in Qianzhou has made the decision, and Ma Zhizhou is not in good health and is recuperating in other industries. I am afraid that he will not be able to be a director in the next few years."
Yang Wanfu and Jia Gui had received the news a long time ago, and they were not too surprised. However, Bai Xing and others' hearts jumped. Xiao Cheng said it easily, but in everyone's ears
But it was like thunder. Don't think about this matter carefully! If you think about it carefully, you will understand that Ma Zhizhou must have been taken care of by the man in front of him, and he may not even have the freedom to move.
"Let me introduce to you, this is the manager of Qianzhou who joins the army. His surname is Tian, Sizhou Tian!" Xiao Cheng grinned and continued: "I dare to come to Pengshui this time because I am in Pengshui.
To be continued...
