4 Sichuan Neijiang County.

This small county where civil unrest broke out first was surrounded by civil unrest for more than a month, and 1 persisted until Pei Xiao3 led the army to come, and then gradually regained its vitality. However, in the past, people came and went,

The crowded scenes were never seen again, and instead they were on the lonely streets, with 30 or so scattered, and they were in a hurry.

1 The cool breeze blew, and the shop's guise swayed in the wind on both sides of the road. A few fallen leaves on the ground were blown into the air and flew up and down. On the blue-gray city wall at the gate, there were several heavy objects hanging, and they were also

The wind blew, swaying left and right, and from time to time it hit, making a slight sound. When you walk closer and look carefully, you can tell that it is a few shriveled heads.

In the vast fields outside the county town, the original crops had reached the harvest season, but at this time they were already devastated and were covered with charred black and gray. If nothing unexpected happens, Neijiang will be trapped in famine and plague this year.

The wind is getting stronger and stronger. The roaring wind is howling across the ground, rolling the black and gray left by the burning of plants and trees on the ground into the sky, revealing the buried corpses on the ground. 78 people pushing the wheelbarrow, panting and exposing the naked

The body was transported on the cart and transported to the distance.

The rolled black and gray flew higher and higher, rising to mid-air. Looking down, you can see the desolate land, a team of 78 people and one corpse collecting team almost spread throughout the countryside. About 78 miles away from the city gate, a lush area

There are several huge deep pits in the woods. In the deep pits, there are already dense 7 and 8 lying on the corpses. Hundreds of people are sweating and burying the large pit filled with corpses. One is also buried.

All traces left in this world.

There are several temporary sheds near the city gate, and the fragrance of food comes from the sheds from time to time. One official dressed in green official uniforms, with a leopard embroidered on his chest, and a fat official sat on a stool.

It was because the weather was too hot or the body was obese, and the official was constantly fanning the fan. One bowl of tea was poured into his mouth, but it seemed that it would not work at all.

"I don't know what crazy the Pei family army is going and what assessment to do. I really don't know what it means." The official murmured in a low voice.

"Sir, what did you say?" A little official next to him, wearing a blue shirt, wearing a scarf, and laughing, might have heard the official's muttering, and couldn't help but speak.

It turned out that the official was Sun Zhixiao, the magistrate of Neijiang County. Sun Zhixiao was born in a Jinshi. After the imperial examination, he basically had no hope of staying in the capital. In addition, his family had a strong relationship with the Korean-China relationship, so it was good.

It was not his turn to be the position. It happened that the magistrate of Neijiang County, a place far away from the sky, was short of a place, so he took office gloriously.

Since taking office, there have been no ups and downs in the first journey. I have made some money in private and taken several concubines. Life is comfortable. However, this guy is not very brave, so the money and food he gets on weekdays is apart from

Apart from filial piety to the superiors, there is not much left.

Later, Li Guojun attacked Chongqing and passed by Neijiang. Sun Zhixiao surrendered to the Pei family army with tactfulness, saying that he had saved the suffering of war in Neijiang people. Later, Sun Zhixiao did not know whether to take the wrong medicine or what, but suddenly Xiang took the opportunity to put himself under his butt.

The chair was replaced by a large one, so there were escorts and four entrusted matters. However, I never expected that I would eventually force the people to rebel and cause this rebellion.

Now Sun Zhixiao has become much more honest. After Pei Xiao3 entered Neijiang, he exhausted all the money to plunder Neijiang to supply military supplies, and thus offended all the connections Neijiang has accumulated over the years. However, all of this is worth it.

When Pei Xiao3 saw that Sun Zhixiao was working so hard, he mentioned Sun Zhixiao aloud when writing a military newspaper for Pei Xiao2 in Chengdu.

Pei Xiao2 also for the sake of Pei Xiao3, but did not pursue Sun Zhixiao forcing the rebellion to the people for the time being. He just took over his position as a county magistrate and changed it to a acting county magistrate. Judging from his performance, he was making plans.

It is precisely because of these chaotic and 78 misfortunes. Since the military government issued 103 decrees, including encirclement and annihilation of civil unrest and pacifying refugees, Sun Zhixiao was reluctant to do so, but he also dragged it down.

He went out of the city in person, arranged for the people to collect the bodies, set up a porridge shed, and comfort the refugees.

"Go and go, do whatever you should do, don't stand by the master all day long." Sun Zhixiao's complaint was heard by others, and when he felt guilty, he drove the clerk away.

At this time, a person with a thin figure, a waxy face, and a very dissatisfied green uniform, but one seemed to be a scholar came over and bowed to Sun Zhixiao, "Master, the body is closed.

I beg the master to give me some advice, what should I do next?"

When Sun Zhixiao saw this person, he couldn't hide his disgust and disappointment in his eyes. This person was Wang Shushan, the only scholar who responded to the military government's orders, who went to the government to "observe politics". Didn't he hear that many juren in the county who fled into the city

He was not defeated like this, but he, a mere scholar, wanted to reach the top in one step and do what he wanted to replace himself in the dream of becoming a county magistrate. I don’t even see if I deserve it?

Seeing this person, Sun Zhixiao didn't raise his eyelids and said lazily: "Have you packed it up? I understand. Next, you go to every intersection, set up a porridge shed, and help the people. By the way, I want to

Those who want to settle in Neijiang will also be recorded and wait for the government to allocate land to them."

After this civil unrest, the population of Neijiang County dropped by nearly half and a large area of ​​land was deserted. If you can’t find enough people to farm, how can you pay taxes to the military government next year? What is the shortage of tax payment, and how can you pass the assessment?

Wang Shushan responded aloud and turned around and left.

After Wang Shushan walked away, Sun Zhixiao spat fiercely and cursed: "You can also think of the master's position if you don't know what you know. "

"Why do you have to be angry about such a person? He is just a person who is obsessed with the enemy's tricks." The clerk who had just been scolded seemed to have seen the opportunity and ran away happily again.

return.

Unexpectedly, Sun Zhixiao hit him hard on the head with the fan in his hand and scolded: "Dog thing, how dare you say that the military mansion is a bandit? I think you don't want to live anymore."

"Oh, oh, don't beat me, don't beat me, the young man knows that I'm wrong." The little official was beaten and ran away with his head in his arms, begging for mercy while running.

Just as the two of them ran away one by one, a yamen run over in the city gate panted. When they saw Sun Zhixiao, they hurriedly shouted: "Master, Master, the military mansion is here, the military mansion is here

Now, I want to see you by name."

Sun Zhixiao then stopped his movements, looked at the yamen runner, and hurriedly said, "Who is the person coming? Are there any soldiers? Is it General Pei?"

"No, no, what is the person coming, what?" At the critical moment, the yamen runner actually forgot the name he reported to, and finally held it in for a long time before saying, "Master, go and have a look."

"Barewell." Sun Zhixiao had no time to scold the yamen runners, left the two of them and ran to the city clumsyly.

When he arrived at the yamen, Sun Zhixiao suddenly stopped, adjusted his official uniform, and tried to make his breath even. Then he stepped into the yamen.

As soon as he approached the gate of the yamen, a young man dressed in fluttering clothes and looked extremely handsome. After seeing Sun Zhixiao, the young man smiled and clasped his fists and said, "I'm here to see Lord Sun."

"Lord Zhao is beneficial." Sun Zhixiao quickly replied the gift, but he thought in his heart that he heard that Pei Xiao2, the leader of the Pei family army, was a member of the Zhao family. Could it be that Zhao Jingshi was also a member of the Zhao family?

Zhao Jingshi seemed to have guessed Sun Zhixiao’s thoughts and said generously: “Mr. Sun doesn’t need to guess. My aunt is the mistress of the Pei family army.”

Sun Zhixiao's eyes were brighter and he became more and more respectful. He bowed and clasped his fists again, "I'm not respectful and disrespectful." Then he pretended to be angry and scolded the clerk beside him, and said, "Why don't you show Mr. Zhao tea quickly?"

"It's okay," Zhao Jingshi seemed very generous and waved his hand and said, "Official affairs are on your own, and you will stay more."

Sun Zhixiao also knew his intentions and immediately changed his name, "But I don't know what Lord Zhao has to give. What Sun can do will definitely die."

This is a person who knows the current affairs. Zhao Jingshi gave Sun Zhixiao a comment in his heart, but this is fine, at least he was spared from his own efforts. Then he smiled and said, "This official is to do this for the farmland.
