Final signature: Fengtian Advocacy National Revolutionary Army Commander Megatron
At this time, Lao Yuan, who was working as a county magistrate, and Shi Kefa were both awarded Jinshi, but they were not as capable as Lao Shi, and they would still be useless in the future.
But since I came to Pucheng, I wanted to make a good relationship with him on the way. That guy is somewhat useful.
I won’t give you good poems and lyrics, just fool around with them.
Li Zicheng put down the brush and said, "If you are brave enough, hang it up. It will be a priceless treasure in the future. If you don't have the guts, burn it on fire."
The old man said hurriedly: "Don't dare, don't dare..."
"Who is pretending to be a revolutionary army? Blow your head off!"
Suddenly there was a shout from outside the door.
Wang Gao strode over with a few minions in high arrogance.
Then, he knelt down and said, "This little man pays homage to the great commander."
Huzi was startled and fell down in time.
Li Zicheng slammed the table and shouted: "Stand up, don't kneel!"
Everyone was trembling with fear.
The old man's legs went weak and he knelt down involuntarily.
Zhang Jiuxiao and Xin Sizhong pulled them up by beating them.
Li Zicheng asked, "What's the news from the county government?"
Wang Gao wiped his cold sweat and replied: "The county magistrate wanted to deliver a letter to the capital. I followed the commander-in-chief's wishes and didn't stop him."
"Let him go!" Li Zicheng didn't care.
Anyway, the county magistrate couldn't call for reinforcements. Now, except for the people on the list and those who can't pull carts and property out of the city, the rest can pass freely.
The next day, the public sentencing meeting was held at the county government office.
Li Zicheng originally wanted the county magistrate to preside over the trial, but that old man didn't dare. He hid in the backyard and didn't dare to show his face.
The onlookers crowded into three floors inside and three floors outside.
Starting with the subordinate officials and local ruffians, two were hanged on the spot, three were killed in battle, and the shackles were numbered sixteen.
The second group were local tyrants and evil gentry. They only hanged one of those who had committed the most heinous crimes and did not kill anyone who would not injure the common people. They also ransacked their homes. The rest wrote letters of repentance, paraded in public wearing high hats, and "happily" donated half of their family wealth to atone for their sins.
Pucheng is different from security guards. Li Zicheng has full control over this place and should try to kill as few people as possible.
Next, open a warehouse to release grain and help the poor.
Buying and selling also starts.
The demands of the revolutionary army were posted at the gate of the county government, and various items were purchased at 50% higher than the market price. The people were enthusiastic.
Anyway, more than one hundred thousand taels of silver were paid, which was taken from the people and used by the people.
Steamed buns, stone cakes, large pot helmets, as well as eight treasures with soy sauce, mustard beans with red oil, sugar garlic, bean drum, etc. These things are easy to carry and can be stored for a long time. They are all good military rations.
Guokui is actually also a big pancake, very big.
Salt and pepper pot helmets, green onion pot helmets, five-spice pot helmets, pepper leaf pot helmets, salty and sweet pot helmets, crispy pot helmets, crispy pot helmets, white sugar pot helmets... The pot helmets are like pot lids, 1 inch thick and 5 pounds in weight.
Not to mention clothes, hats, shoes and socks, we also purchased a batch of gunpowder raw materials.
Pucheng is rich in fireworks and firecrackers, which are famous all over the world. Pucheng can also be used in palace performances.
To the south of Gein City is the Lunbo Beach, which is very watery in summer and white in winter. There are many people sunning salt and fishing for saltpeter. There is no shortage of sulfur and charcoal.
To avoid disturbing the people, peasant army brigades entered the city in batches for repairs.
Zhao Sheng first brought 300 people.
"Brother Zhao, this water basin mutton is really good."
"Good, good, oily, and double-coin egg custard is also delicious."
Li Zicheng was holding a bowl of gourd-head steamed buns and his face was shiny with oil. He wiped his sweat and said, "It's a pity that the spicy food is missing!"
"Spicy?"
"There may be some kind of it in the south, and it has a great seasoning."
"Oh? Then I have to follow my brother to have a taste."
"In the future we will eat all over the world."
"Let's go together..."
After eating and drinking, the two of them went to visit the Twin Towers.
The Tang Pagoda in the South Temple and the Song Pagoda in the North Temple both enshrine relics.
"The majestic twin towers are pierced into the sky, and the phantoms are clear in the night. They are higher than the female wall and the rainbow is wide, far across the golden world and the moon is in the sky."
The original poem was written by Yi Shiren. Calculating the time, Li Zicheng wondered if the old man Mina could finish it now. It would be too easy to plagiarize it rashly. There would be less opportunity for forgery.
After climbing the pagoda, go to the Confucian Temple.
It is also an ancient building from the Tang Dynasty.
The first six-dragon wall was built in the 44th year of Wanli Dynasty and was made of glazed tiles.
In terms of style, it is not as impressive as the Nine Dragon Wall in Datong and Pingyao, but it is still worth a visit.
There are two stone plaques next to them. Fan Dongmo, a calligrapher from this county and former governor of Shanxi Province, wrote the six characters "Wen Zu" and "Emperor Master" on them.
Lao Fan died three years ago and cannot be recruited.
After passing the Lingxing Gate, there is the first courtyard, which is connected by a single-hole bridge over Panchi.
The rule is that no one without scholar status is allowed to go to Panshui Bridge. Li Zicheng was not a talented person, so he walked across it squarely with his hands behind his back.
The "chief of thieves" arrived, and the gentry waiting in the courtyard had complicated thoughts.
A certain student with weak waist and knees fell to his knees first, causing everyone to roll their eyes and look down upon him.
Li Zicheng waved his hand and said, "Everyone, don't be restrained! We are all polite, but it's a pity that I didn't imitate it!"
Everyone wanted to laugh but didn't dare.
Li Zicheng glanced around and asked, "Is Wang Huaiju here?"
The kneeling students rushed to answer, "Wang Yushi was originally in Beijing, and I heard at the beginning of the year that he was patrolling Shandong."
Li Zicheng nodded, "If you are friends with him, please remind me that Kong Youde wants to rebel, and the governor Yu Dacheng can't do anything about it. The traitor used to caress a fool every day, and six cities fell with one caress, and Dengzhou was destroyed with another caress, and Huang County was destroyed with three caresses."
Lost, and Laizhou was besieged." 2
What were these words? Everyone was surprised and confused.
Li Zicheng raised his hand and said, "Get up. The revolutionary army advocates equality for everyone, no distinction between high and low, and they are not allowed to kneel down."
Zhang Xing did not dare to get up after thanking him and remained kneeling.
Li Zicheng was furious, "You are not allowed to kneel! No one is allowed to kneel! Kneel to heaven, kneel to your parents, no one else is worthy of your kneeling! I am not worthy of your kneeling either!"
Zhang Xingjiao broke out in a cold sweat, gritted his teeth, and stood up.
Li Zicheng spoke again: "I only came to Pucheng to do three things!"
"fair!"
"fair!"
