After the great war between Northern Xinjiang and Northern Liao, Chenzhou Army became famous and was called the First Army of Northern Xinjiang.
In that battle, Chenzhou's army suddenly emerged, even beyond Huang Chunhui's expectation.
It is a surprise to our own people, not to mention our enemies.
This is the perception of the Northern Xinjiang Army. The outside world only heard about the specific situation of Chenzhou Army.
sharp!
Sharp!
He said that he beat the shit out of Lin Ya's Yunshan Cavalry...
No matter how much we talk, it’s better to see each other once.
In front of me, more than a thousand cavalrymen dismounted uniformly, knelt down on one knee, and shouted in unison.
"I've met the deputy envoy!"
Not to mention clean and tidy, a chilling aura rushed towards my face.
At the top of the city, Fang Shuo looked at the civil servants. Everyone looked stiff, even with fear in their eyes.
It is naturally abnormal to be afraid of one's own army. Then, these civil servants suddenly realized and turned into shock.
"It's really a tiger from Northern Xinjiang!"
"It's so murderous!"
Murderous aura is something that cannot be explained clearly.
You would think that there might be a murderous look on the face... No, there is no such thing. The so-called murderous look, for example, some people look very fierce and murderous. For example, some evil young rangers, but such murderous look
In fact, it is evil spirit, which is the evolution of human nature into temperament.
It is very likely that this person will be beaten severely by others and then kneel down to beg for mercy.
Chen Zhoujun in front of him just kneeled down on one knee, which made the people at the top of the city feel murderous. This was also his temperament.
However, unlike those who need to look fierce, they only need to show their true colors.
Yang Xuan smiled and said calmly: "Enter the city."
"Enter the city!"
One by one, the cavalry mounted their horses and slowly entered the city.
Only then can we see what murderous intent is.
Each of the soldiers looked indifferent, as if they didn't care about anything.
It seems that even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire in front of them, they still dare to fight their way out.
But, who is this for?
Everyone couldn't help but look at Yang Xuan.
This is the newly promoted Deputy Envoy of Northern Xinjiang.
Fang Shuo whispered: "This person has always been very low-key, but today he is a bit public."
Zhu Niandan said calmly: "If it were you, you would be more public than him."
A civil servant heard this and blurted out, "That's not arrogant, but..." He looked at Yang Xuan carefully, "It's calm."
Yang Xuan turned around and stood with his hands behind his back.
When the cavalry entered the city, people on both sides of the street came out to greet them.
Zhen Siwen led his men to make a U-turn.
"Array up!"
More than a thousand cavalry lined up.
The people on both sides were stunned, and even their children did not dare to cry.
A cold breath hit my face.
Is this Chen Zhoujun?
The people couldn't help but look up at Deputy Envoy Yang on the top of the city.
Yang Xuan stood with his hands behind his back and turned his eyes to look at the people.
Even if the banner is raised to fight against rebellion, will the people accept it and support it... What is the attitude of the armies in various places, what is the attitude of officials and generals, and so on, there are countless questions.
If you want to rely on the army to level the country, even if it is leveled, in a place where wealthy literati are the core, war may break out at any time, leaving Yang Xuan in a state of distress.
After all, he cannot form an army of millions to suppress it everywhere... Even if he could, this situation would not last long. When the world is full of sparks, it will only be a matter of time before it collapses.
Yang Xuan has thought of many solutions. In the final analysis, he still has to unite the majority of people.
There is an opportunity right in front of you.
Officials are not all pawns and allies of wealthy families.
The people and the army are relatively simple.
First, shock!
Yang Xuan raised his hand.
Whoosh!
As far as the naked eye could see, everything became quiet.
"There is civil turmoil in Dengzhou, and the DPRK ordered me to come and deal with it."
Fang Shuo whispered: "Shouldn't it be suppression?"
Yang Xuan replaced suppression with punishment. The dull people didn't hear the hidden meaning, but the smart people couldn't sit still.
"It's disposal, not suppression!"
In the crowd, someone whispered, unable to conceal his excitement.
"Is it disposal?"
"right."
"Don't you mean suppression?"
The people were talking in low voices.
Yang Xuan continued: "Some people will definitely ask why it is not suppression!"
The city became quiet again.
Only Yang Xuan's voice echoed at the top of the city.
"I come from the countryside of Yuanzhou, and I have lived a hard life since I was a child. I watched the villagers get up early and work in the dark to farm.
After working hard for a year, I thought that if I had a good year, my life would be much easier.
But the subordinate officials are here, and the tax collectors are here. If it's okay to meet those who have their duty, they can do as much as they should.
But how many of them are responsible? Most of the subordinate staff will extort money, and if you don't pay, they will use various means to deal with you!"
Yang Xuan's eyes were deep, as if he was thinking of what happened back then, "Someone was so angry that he quietly reported it to the official, but the subordinate official who reported him came the next day, took away the cattle, and beat him severely on the pretext.
Living in such a situation, most people can still endure it, thinking that they will not starve to death."
He found it a bit ridiculous that starving to death had become the ultimate goal of the people.
Who was slapped in the face by this so-called prosperous era of Daqian?
The people were silent, but the look in their eyes towards Yang Xuan changed.
Han Ji discovered that the people originally looked at Yang Xuan with awe, but now they had a gentle emotion.
It's like...discovering someone of your own.
There is also a feeling of attachment, as if the man in front of me is my backbone.
With just a few words, the boss actually won the hearts of the people... He glanced at Tu Chang, who whispered: "I have never wavered in my confidence in Mr. Lang."
This man kept giving everyone many surprises along the way, but what he saw before him was just another one.
"But what did I see in Dengzhou? The people are in dire straits!"
boom!
The people created a stir with all kinds of exclamations.
The whole city seemed to be trembling.
Don't slap people in the face when you hit them, don't expose their shortcomings when you scold them!
Yang Xuan is a guest official, so when he comes to Dengzhou, he should save face for the local officials.
But as soon as he opened his mouth, he said that it would be hard to make a living by using the people, and he slapped the Dengzhou officials hard on the face in front of the people.
No room left!
"This beast!"
Fang Shuo's face was livid, and although Zhu Nian seemed calm, his hands were clenched and his legs were trembling, not because of fear, but because he was extremely angry.
People in Dengzhou are having trouble living, who is to blame?
Of course they were Dengzhou officials.
Yang Xuan was here as an imperial envoy, and his evaluation of the officials in Dengzhou would become the basis for the court and the central government to deal with the matter afterwards.
In a word, Dengzhou officials, please wish yourself good luck!
The officials were furious, but the people were rejoicing.
"Deputy Ambassador Yang is wise!"
Someone burst into tears and said, "Well said!"
Yang Xuan saw the mood of the people and felt sad in his heart.
These people are the best people. As long as they are given a way to survive, they will not make trouble and will cooperate fully.
"I saw people starving!" Yang Xuan said: "When a person is faced with the two paths of starvation and rebellion, many people will choose to starve to death, but some will choose to rebel."
Everyone was silent, and the warmth of being understood brought tears to many people's eyes.
"The government forces the people to rebel, and the people have no choice but to rebel!"
boom!
These words immediately detonated the city.
Some officials were angry, some were aggrieved, and some were dull...
Under the impact of various emotions, someone hissed: "I will do my duty faithfully!"
Zhu Nian couldn't maintain his composure anymore, he said solemnly: "I have a clear conscience!"
Yang Xuan did not look back, "The people of Dengzhou are suffering from hunger. They pay taxes, they serve Dengzhou, they serve the officials, they have fulfilled their duties, and they are called loyal to their duties."
And what have you done? Dengzhou’s taxes have been increasing year by year in the past three years.
I wish you have been in the top grades in the Ministry of Civil Affairs’ examinations for the past three years. What did you pay for these top grades?"
Yang Xuan pointed at the people, "It was obtained with the blood and sweat of the people and the cries of the people. Happy New Year, you took those awards and dreamed back at midnight, and you were not afraid? Aren't you afraid of the innocent souls of the people who come to claim your life?"
Zhu Nian sneered, "I cannot agree with what Deputy Envoy Yang said. What happens to the subordinate officials should be decided by the court. In addition, Deputy Envoy Yang mobilizes troops privately, so the subordinate officials must go up to the court to make a decision."
Since Yang Xuan had torn everyone's face, Zhu Nian also fell out in order to protect himself.
When Shangshu and Zhaozhong impeached Yang Xuan, he was trying to rescue him.
The emperor, the head of state... these enemies would feel like they had found a treasure, analyze it carefully, and then use the information he gave them to pull Yang Xuan down.
Fang Shuo looked at his boss and praised: "What a good idea!"
"Lu Er is here."
A sergeant screamed.
Yang Xuan shook his head, "Danding!"
A general shouted towards the city, "Close the city gate!"
"No need!" Yang Xuan said and turned around.
In the distance, thousands of people can be seen slowly approaching.
Next to him, Zhang Xu whispered: "The clothes are in tatters, and the weapons are in a mess. Most of them are kitchen knives, hatchets, and sharpened wooden sticks... There is no armor."
This is a group of beggars.
But it made everyone in Dengzhou panic and uneasy.
The general hurried over and saluted, "Deputy Envoy Yang, why don't you close the city gate?"
"Why do you want to close the city gate?" Yang Xuan asked.
The general looked fearful and said, "Lu Er's group is brutal."
"My subordinates are even more cruel!"
The general was shocked.
Yang Xuan put his hands on the city wall with a calm expression and looked at the rioters.
The distance is getting closer.
After more than a hundred steps, the mob stopped.
There was total silence.
"It's interesting." Han Ji smiled and said, "This Lu Er can actually train a group of farmers who were still farming a while ago to look like this. It's impressive."
Yang Xuan said: "In troubled times, heroes emerge."
Countless histories have proven that the people are reckless.
"When the Chen Kingdom fell, how desolate was the world? Those farmers, those merchants, those craftsmen, who took up weapons and climbed high to shout, became heroes."
Yang Xuan concluded: "The times create heroes, that's all."
If there is peace in the world, those who should cultivate the land and do business will remain ordinary people until they die.
A tall man rode over.
He looks quite rough, with a messy beard, and a pair of huge eyes that look more majestic...
"This Lu Er used to be known for his honesty." Han Ji said softly.
"Honestly, many times it's just because there aren't enough temptations." Yang Xuan's expression turned cold.
"I want justice!"
Lu Er's loud voice echoed across the city.
"The little official who killed my Aye, Wang San! I want his head!"
Yang Xuan turned around and locked eyes with Zhu Nian, "You are very good!"
Zhu Nian shouted: "Fire the arrow and kill the traitor!"
Yang Xuan snorted coldly.
The shadow of the gun danced, and Tu Shang jumped onto the battlement, flying past.
The sight of a gun flashed before the eyes of more than ten soldiers who were raising their bows. They felt their hands light up, and when they looked carefully, they saw that the bow string was broken.
Tu Shang put the gun behind him and turned around to look outside the city.
Lao Tu, insist on getting it!
Yang Xuan asked: "Where is Wang San?"
At the top of the city, most officials' eyes flickered.
Officialdom is like a sauce jar. When the sauce jar is full of muddy water, the possibility of you wanting to be alone is very slim. Those people will drag you into the water, and if you refuse, you will be marginalized and excluded from then on.
No one?
Yang Xuan was a little disappointed... Even if it is a sauce vat, there should be someone who can stand out from the filth!
An official's face turned red. He hesitated several times and said, "Wang San is hiding."
Yang Xuan pointed at the official, "I'll protect you!"
The official burst into tears and choked with sobs: "I also want to be a good person, but...but...in this world, a good person cannot live!"
Yang Xuan pointed at him, "Find Wang San!"
I wish you a happy new year and winked at a small official.
Wang Laoer said: "Why are you winking at him?"
The second brother has good eyesight... Yang Xuan said: "People at the top of the city are not allowed to leave without permission."
alright!
Yang Xuan saw that many officials looked pale, as if they were mourning for their heirs.
"There must be an explanation, otherwise, Ye Ye will attack the city!"
Lu Er looked at the opened city gate with greed in his eyes.
There are a lot of supplies in Dingdong City, including money, food, grass and weapons. There are also many people who are dissatisfied with the government. As long as he raises a big banner, he can mobilize a powerful force.
At that time, we might as well have ambitions beyond Dengzhou... If we capture a few more states, will we be able to have an army of 100,000?
The Northern Xinjiang Army only has more than 100,000 soldiers.
this……
At the top of the city, Yang Xuan said: "I'm going!"
"Mr. Lang!" Han Ji said, "Bring more guards."
"No need!" Yang Xuan said.
Although Yang Xuan's cultivation level is mediocre, it is not comparable to that of a farmer of yesterday.
"They have bows and arrows," said the old thief.
"Bring a guard!" Han Ji almost begged.
Yang Xuan's eyes turned, Wu Da and others held their heads high, and the Qiu Long Guard was eager to try.
"Sven!"
The deputy envoy was indeed cultivating someone... Zhen Siwen was ecstatic, "Here he is!"
"You come with me!"
"Take orders!"
Zhen Siwen's face flushed with excitement, and he swore that if anyone wanted to harm the deputy, they would have to step on his own body first!
The two rode their horses and slowly left the city gate.
At the top of the city, Fang Shuo said: "Nalu Er is born with supernatural power. If Yang Gou accidentally gets killed by him..."
Zhu Nian squinted his eyes, "Then he underestimated the enemy and brought it upon himself!"
Han Ji came over and said, "Ahem!"
The two of them just sneered.
Han Ji said: "I forgot to tell you. Before leaving Chang'an, the deputy envoy obtained the documents for troop deployment."
Zhu Nian’s lips trembled.
Looking at Yang Xuan who was leaving the city, his eyes were particularly fierce.
Why don't you die?
When Han Ji went back, the old thief said, "Why bother telling him this."
"Lang Jun said that he should destroy the reserve of Dengzhou officials bit by bit until the final blow, and he would do it beautifully."
Outside the city, Yang Xuan waved his hand and Zhen Siwen stayed.
He rode his horse alone to approach Lu Er.
Lu Er drew his sword and said warily: "Where is Wang San?"
"While Wang San is being arrested, if he kills people as you said, then I will give you an explanation."
"My grandma was driven crazy and committed suicide by jumping into the river." Lu Er's eyes turned red.
"I said that I will investigate one by one. Whether it is a tragedy in your family or another's family, when I come, I will clear it up one by one."
Yang Xuan looked indifferent, "I know that the more humble a person is, the easier it is to get lost after gaining power. Now that you have thousands of people under your command, you will definitely think about some thoughts that you shouldn't think about. Here I am, these thoughts
, get rid of them all!”
Lu Er's eyes narrowed, "Who are you?"
Zhen Siwen from behind raised his hand and shouted: "Big flag!"
At the top of the city, Lin Feibao raised a big flag with one hand.
"Are you literate?" Yang Xuan asked.
Lu Er nodded, "I know more than a hundred characters."
There were scholars among the rebels, and Lu Er learned these hundreds of words from him.
He looked up and saw a big flag fluttering in the wind at the top of the city.
That word...
"Yang Ziqi, you!"
Lu Er looked at Yang Xuan in horror, with a thought lingering in his mind.
Yang Xuan nodded and said calmly: "I'm here, do you want to ride back to reorganize the army and fight me, or what?!"
The people on top of the city, the sergeants at the city gate, Zhen Siwen behind, and thousands of rioters not far away...
Under everyone's gaze, Lu Er dismounted, knelt down, and lowered his head.
