Chapter 212 Lingnan Palace City
The next morning, Li Changxian woke up and finished washing. Li Zhu quietly came over and said, "Young Master, the captured rebels have been taken away early in the morning."
It’s not okay to be taken away. Two rebels attacked the military camp last night, but they were all defeated by the crossbowmen arranged by Abuda.
Fortunately, it was just a small-scale battle. I was probably trying to test the vigilance of the officers and soldiers of Wanling County, and I also wanted to take the opportunity to snatch their leader Xu Hai away.
In order to prevent the captured rebels from rioting, Wanling County still distributed thousands of officers and soldiers to escort the prisoners back to Wanling County.
As soon as we arrived in Wanling County, the rebels of more than 80,000 people would make some waves. After all, the whole people in Wanling County are now soldiers, and even the elderly and children are standing on the street to help the yamen runners maintain public order.
In addition, the southern indigenous tribes also sent people to Wanling County in accordance with Li Changxian's request, and wanted to share the huge gains of this war.
After breakfast, someone came to report, and someone from the rebels came to discuss peace. Li Changxian asked, and heard that he didn't know the people who came to discuss this time, so he lost interest and left it to Abuda and others to deal with it.
At this time, he was going to visit the Lingnan Prefecture Prefecture Prefecture Prefecture Prefecture. After all, passing by Lingnan Prefecture without going into the city to visit it is not in line with the customs of the officialdom. Moreover, Li Changxian is also a small county magistrate under the jurisdiction of the Lingnan Prefecture Office.
Li Changxian dressed in the county magistrate's uniform and set off with Li Zhu, Li Hu'er and others. Of course, Zhao Yuan is indispensable among these people.
Since the moment he walked out of Wanling County and was about to fight with the rebels, Li Changxian arranged Zhao Yuan by his side. He was also afraid that the rebels would have masters attacked him. With Zhao Yuan here, at least he could have no worries about his life.
When you walked outside the Lingnan Prefecture City, you could see many Wanling County merchants dealing with the bodies outside the Lingnan Prefecture City. It is estimated that too many people died. Wanling County merchants dug deep pits in the stone hills outside the city and buried batches of rebel corpses. They were so tired that the hired workers didn't want to do it, which forced Wanling County merchants to increase their wages again.
Seeing Li Changxian coming, many businessmen came to say hello to him, and Li Changxian also praised these businessmen by the way.
"Let the dead have a home so as not to get rid of corpses in the wild, and you will have great merits."
Another point is that there are so many dead bodies, in the hot summer, it is estimated that the corpse will be smelly in less than a day. If it is not dealt with in time, there may be a major plague.
This is also Li Changxian's request to the merchants in Wanling County to bury these dead bodies as soon as possible so as not to cause the second injury to Lingnan Prefecture.
Someone came to report: "Among these dead, many injured people were found, most of them seriously injured. What should I do?"
Li Changxian thought for a while and said, "Since all the dead are buried, then send them to the West and treat these injured. You can settle the cost of treatment in the county government afterwards."
Wanling County has accepted some elderly, weak, women and children, and no longer cared about these injured people. As long as they are treated well, even some disabled people will be young and middle-aged.
As for those seriously injured, whether they die or live, they can only leave their fate.
When Li Changxian arrived at the gate of Lingnan Prefecture, Li Zhu had already arranged for someone to inform the officers and soldiers of Lingnan Prefecture.
When he saw a man dressed in an official uniform outside the city, the soldiers guarding the city did not dare to neglect them. He hurried to inform the commander of the city, Zang Chaoyuan.
At this time, Zang Chaoyuanzheng and Lingnan Prefecture Young Mentor Li Changyuan were discussing the arrangements of the guardians and the treatment of the injured. He heard that the officials in Wanling County had already arrived outside the city and asked to open the city gate and come in.
Commander Zang didn’t know who the officials in Wanling County were, but Li Changyuan knew it and hurriedly explained to Commander Zang: “This is my brother. I guess yesterday it was the Wanling County Government who sent troops to relieve the siege of Lingnan Prefecture.”
Zang Chaoyuan was also very happy and said, "I didn't expect that the magistrate of Li County in Wanling County was the Young Yin brother. I have heard of it for a long time. When General Zhao encircled and suppressed the rebels last year, Brother Ling shone brightly and captured thousands of rebels with a team of three or four hundred people. I admire him very much, but I didn't have the chance to meet him.
I am really grateful to be able to rescue Lingnan Prefecture this time. In any case, I will meet County Magistrate Li today and hope that Li Shaoyin will introduce it to you."
"Mr. Zang, you have been too rewarded. It is also my brother's honor to be able to make friends with you."
"No, I think it's not easy for my brother to be able to use the strength of a county to prevent the rebels from invading Lingnan Prefecture again. I feel ashamed of myself!"
Li Changyuan and Zang Chaoyuan joined hands to welcome Li Changxian outside the gate of Lingnan Prefecture.
When he arrived at the wall of the Lingnan Prefecture City Gate, Li Changyuan saw Li Changxian in official uniform at a glance, and hurriedly explained to Zang Chaoyuan: "The person in the official uniform in front is his brother."
Zang Chaoyuan also clearly saw Li Changxian and sighed: "He is such a young talent, his official career is limitless!"
Look at myself, after struggling for half a lifetime, he has obtained a military position below the fourth rank, and is slightly higher than Li Changyuan's official position. Although he is much higher than Li Changxian's seventh rank, he cannot resist Li Changxian's young age, and is still very talented and lucky. If he reports the credit for rescuing Lingnan Prefecture this time, it is estimated that the official position will be promoted to two or three levels.
When Li Changyuan heard this, his mind was dizzy. Is this person talking about his brother Li Changxian?
He envied Li Changxian for being lucky because he had been stumbled on the rebels last time and the rescue of Lingnan Prefecture this time both encountered good luck.
However, Li Changxian was either blind in the court or confused in the old emperor. He was a poor scholar who obtained a seventh-rank official position through opportunism, even if he gained credit for these two luck, he probably wouldn't be promoted to any extent. He probably still had to work in Wanling County.
The city gate of Lingnan Prefecture opened with the rumbling sound. Li Changxian and everyone walked in slowly. Seeing that the city gate was colorful and obviously had been repaired, but the blood traces on it were still not wiped away. On the city gate, in the city gate passage, and on the ground, blood burst out everywhere.
Based on these dark blood marks, we know that the bloody battle here at the City Gate Tower yesterday must have been extremely fierce, and we don’t know how many officers, soldiers and ordinary people of Lingnan Prefecture suffered casualties to defend the city this time.
Although the blood on the ground was covered with soil for a short road, Li Changxian's feet were still stained with a lot of it, so there was no way to avoid it. He could only grit his teeth and walked through the city gate and came to the street.
The streets of Lingnan Prefecture have been much better, but the traces of yesterday's fierce battle can still be seen. Fortunately, the ground on the street was washed with water and covered with soil, but the strong smell of blood still made everyone feel extremely uncomfortable.
Li Changxian rubbed the blood on his feet hard on the ground, and then looked up and saw Li Changyuan smiling in front of him, and a majestic and burly general.
Li Changyuan smiled and introduced to Li Changxian: "Brother, this is Lord Zang Chaoyuan, the commander of Lingnan Prefecture City."
