[69 Book Bar-www.] More than 700,000! I was shocked. At that time, Wuhou drove all the refugees in southern Xinjiang to Gaojiu City by using the strategy of "driven fish for the abyss". At that time, Gaojiu City was only 70 or 80 times.
Even though the food and grass in Gaojiu City did not continue, the city was broken in April. Under normal circumstances, Wuyang City could have a population of 700,000. How should this city be managed? I will lead only 5,000 troops, but
I also know that there is a difficulty. If it weren't for Qian Wenyi and Cao Wendao's helpers, I'm afraid I would really vomit blood. The emperors had a population of 500,000, 30,000 imperial guards, and 5,000 people who maintained public order, and 70 of Wuyang City
I don’t know how many soldiers a thousand people want, but it must be far more than the 20,000 private soldiers agreed by the emperor and the first city lord. If we add the remnants of the Republican Army, I think the army in Wuyang City may have exceeded 50,000 now.
number.
Only with 50,000 elite soldiers can it become a bargaining chip for negotiations with the Snake Man, otherwise the Snake Man would not want to lie such a big nail behind. I think He Congjing would have guessed that if the Snake Man was really destroyed
After the empire, the next target is Wuyang City, so he will not really defect to the Snake Man. But if the Snake Man can really weigh the pros and cons, will they also be on guard against the affair between the Lord of Wuyang City and the Empire?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but worry again. It should be a secret for us to come to Wuyang City. Will this news leak? If it leaks, will the Lord of Wuyang City go all out and go to war with the Snake Man, or will he kill us to win the trust of the Snake Man
?Now these are variables. Perhaps, any trivial variable will cause a sharp turn of things. Now, I must be careful every step and must not make a mistake.
Feng Xinge said that Mu Fishery Museum is not far away, I only said that there was not much road from the south gate. Unexpectedly, the carriage was turned around for most of the day. Seeing that the surroundings became more and more deserted, the carriage stopped. Feng Xinge stood up and lifted the carriage.
The curtain looked at it and said, "General Chu, the Mu Fishing House has arrived."
In front is a large mansion, surrounded by a river about meter wide, and there is a wall of more than 10 meter high on the other side of the river. This is almost a city in the city, and it covers a considerable area. The carriage drove past a small bridge, and the courtyard was
The two guards at the door raised their spears to salute. As soon as we entered, the gate of the courtyard was closed again. Feng Xinge said, "Here, General Chu, please get out of the car."
I jumped out of the carriage and saw that the Mu Fishing House was lined up with buildings. Although there were many houses, they were arranged in an orderly manner, not messy, and there were green trees everywhere, but there were not many lights. It seemed that Mu Yu was very happy.
There are not many people living in the museum. It is the end of August, and there are fruits on the trees. The fruits are about the size of small wine cups, green and red. I have never seen them before. Just as I was watching, Feng Xinge smiled and said:
"General Chu, the city lord has held a banquet in Danli Hall to welcome you. Lord Ding is waiting inside. Please ask General Chu to come in."
The Danli Hall is very big, brightly lit, and you can see that it is crowded with people across a large courtyard. The pillars on both sides of the Danli Hall door are engraved with couplets, which is "Danfang to raise ambitions, and the lit trees are evergreen.
"The signature reads "Zhaomoxuan Title". The font is very round and smooth. If Xue Wenyi saw it, she would definitely say it was carved by a famous craftsman, but I couldn't see the trick.
As soon as he arrived at the door, someone laughed loudly and said, "Is it General Chu here? I'm not doing it well, I hope to forgive me."
The sound was very clear, it was the voice of a middle-aged man in his forties. I stepped into the hall door and Feng Xinge next to him and said, "City Lord, General Chu Xiuhong, please come."
The lord of Wuyang City is named He Congjing. The He family has always been a prominent family in Wuyang City, but the population is not very prosperous. I only think that people who are pampered and have a wide waist and big belly, and look like dough, but He
The city lord has a pretty face, his eyes are not big, but he is very energetic, with three long beards under his jaw, and his appearance is very elegant. Although his appearance makes people feel friendly at first sight, I secretly complain in my heart. Such a person is like this.
Most of them are very wise and tricky. I was put on by Tao Shouzhu in Fudun City, and I was played with by him from beginning to end. I still remember it vividly and I really don’t want to deal with such a wise man. But I’m afraid of anything, the Lord of Wuyang City
Although the conversation is very friendly, who knows what he is thinking.
I bowed and said, "Young general Chu Xiuhong, come one step later. Please forgive me for your crime."
He Congjing smiled and said, "What's the crime? General Chu is invincible. We just heard Zheng Zhao talk about it. Please invite General Chu to the table."
There are many seats in Danli Hall, including three tables, and there are more than ten tables in the side hall. The hall is still quite space. He Congjing sat in the middle of the chairman, and on his left hand, Yu Shi Ding had already sat down.
The right position was empty, probably for me to sit. The empire was still left, and the right position was originally an important official in Wuyang City, but He Congjing asked me to sit down, which was already heart-to-heart. I was also
He bowed and said, "Thank you for thanking me."
A waiter guided me to He Congjing and sat down, and Qian Wenyi and the others also sat down one after another, but they all sat on several tables next to each other. In addition to me and Yushi Ding, the chairman of the table was from Wuyang City.
people.
As soon as I sat down, the waiter poured me a glass of wine. He Congjing stood up with the cup and said, "Today, the angels are looking down, and the city is shining brightly. Today, I saw two angels respecting their faces, and my subordinates were inexplicably moved.
Everyone, let us first give a cup of two angels to thank the angels for coming over and over again.”
He said he was very polite, but the more polite he said, the more insincere he was. Ding Ximing and I also stood up, and Ding Ximing said: "Thank you, Lord He for your hospitality. When the lower official was in the imperial capital, I heard that Lord He was a hero of the world for a long time. Now I see him.
, more famous.”
He Congjing smiled and said, "Don't do it!" He drank a glass of wine first. We all drank it and were about to sit down, He Congjing suddenly said, "Mr. Ding, General Chu, here
All I sit in are my loyal ministers in Wuyang City. This is Lord Kong Renying, the chief clerk of the Customs Department in my city."
I have also heard that although Wuyang City is nominally an imperial territory, it is actually the same as independence. It corresponds to the four departments of the empire's military, punishment, household, and labor. Wuyang City also has six departments, namely the Customs Department and Military Affairs Department.
The People's Department, the Inspection Department, the Crafts Department and the Office Department. Among them, the Customs Department is equivalent to the Ministry of Revenue, the Military Affairs Department is equivalent to the Ministry of War, the Inspection Department is equivalent to the Ministry of Justice, the Crafts Department is equivalent to the Ministry of Work, and the Far Residents Department is also used to entertain various places.
The department of the people is responsible for the evaluation of officials of all sizes. Slightly different from the empire, Wuyang City is based on merchants, so the importance of the customs department is the first. There are many foreign merchants coming to Wuyang City.
It also requires a single remote person department to be responsible for it, but the staff department is unique to Wuyang City. Each department is headed by the chief clerk, and Kong Renying is the chief clerk of the Customs Department, and he is the head of the important officials of Wuyang City.
Kong Renying picked up the cup and raised it to us, saying, "Two angels are above, and the officials are below to do it first." He drank the wine in the cup and drank it happily, and we also drank it.
There are ten people, except He Congjing and Ding Ximing. I, most of the seven remaining people are the chief clerks of each department, but I didn't see Zheng Zhao. Maybe although he has a high position, he is not the chief clerk, so I don't know that many
