When I was killing zombies outside and returning to the palace, it was already afternoon and the sun was almost setting.
At this moment, Zhao Yanxun's mind was full of thinking about how to reshape the order in Yuanyang City.
"Treat guests, behead people, accept them as dogs..."
Unknowingly, Zhao Yanxun read out lines from a movie in his previous life.
Treating him was out of the question. His warm face and cold butt made him realize that these people were not worth working with.
"Be a dog or die!"
After careful consideration, we finally decided to make two preparations.
First, the army must be mobilized to control the main roads between the various districts in Beicheng, and negotiations will begin after ensuring that the situation is controllable.
Until the last moment, Zhao Yanxun did not want to fight with each other, because the dead would be harmful to him.
So after dinner, when night falls, a combat meeting will be held in Prince Yong's Mansion.
At this moment, the five hundred members of the Guards Department were all waiting outside Jinshen Hall. They didn't know what was going on.
In the main hall, two thousand households from the Military and Horse Department were standing in front of Zhao Yanxun's writing desk, looking like they were listening to instructions.
Sitting on the throne, Zhao Yanxun held a tea cup and said calmly: "Duan Hong!"
"I'm here!"
"At midnight tonight, take your men and guard the gates of the North City. No one can enter or leave!"
Although he was puzzled, Duan Hong still responded decisively: "I accept your order!"
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Yanxun looked at Wang Chengdao: "Your men will take over the defense of the four gates of Yuanyang. No one is allowed to enter or leave!"
"Yes!" Wang Cheng said, cupping his fists.
Now that the zombies outside the city wall have been eliminated, there are only zombies outside the moat, so the safety of the city wall is guaranteed.
Seeing that the two men didn't ask any more questions, Zhao Yanxun nodded and said, "Okay, you two go back. A defense plan will be sent to you soon!"
"As ordered, I will retire!"
Martial law in the northern city basically guarantees that even if a bloody conflict occurs, the incident will be controlled within a limited scope and greater losses will be avoided as much as possible.
It was a good thing for Zhao Yanxun that the Yuanyang group of powerful people had taken the servants back from the city wall, so that they could handle everything at once.
Seeing Wang Cheng and others coming out, and Xu Hong and others waiting outside, they were even more curious.
After a while, I saw Huo An walking out of the hall, standing on the steps and saying, "My lords, the prince calls you in!"
A group of five people walked up the steps. Chen Yuhe especially looked nervous. This was his first time entering this hall.
But Chen Yuhe was born in a family of officials after all, and he quickly regained his inner peace and looked forward to his first royal meeting.
After entering the main hall, they were led into the side hall, where they saw Zhao Yanxun standing in front of a sand table.
This is the Yuanyang City sand table built by Gongzheng, which shows all the squares in the city.
"See you, Your Majesty!" A group of five people saluted and paid homage.
After hearing the sound, Zhao Yanxun raised his head and said: "Tonight...Duan Hong will impose martial law on the north city!"
As soon as Zhao Yanxun opened his mouth, everyone in the room was shocked.
Martial law will be imposed on Beicheng tonight? Beicheng is a gathering place for the rich and powerful. What is the prince going to do?
"At midnight tonight, only a hundred guards will be left in the palace to garrison. The rest will be divided into two teams and stationed here respectively!"
Having said this, Zhao Yanxun took two small flags in his hands and planted them in two places on the sand table.
These two places belong to the two centers of Beicheng. If you occupy these places, you can radiate the entire Beicheng.
"Do you understand everything?" Zhao Yanxun said in a deep voice.
"Yes!" the five hundred households said in unison.
Among several hundred households, Chen Yuhe's heart was filled with uproar.
Although Zhao Yanxun didn't say it explicitly, he could already guess that he was going to take action against those powerful people.
This is undoubtedly an important decision. Being able to participate in it seems to be integrated into the core, Chen Yuhe thought.
"How to arrange the manpower, you can decide for yourself when you go back!"
With such an arrangement, the royal palace mobilized all its forces and was barely able to suppress this group of powerful people who were doing their own thing.
At this moment, Xu Hong said: "Your Majesty, if someone disobeys the martial law order..."
"Kill!" Zhao Yanxun said in a deep voice.
If you act more ruthlessly at the beginning and scare all these big households, fewer people will die.
The next step is to disarm these large households and then collect the grain they have for unified use.
Next, after another round of questions and answers, Zhao Yanxun ordered the guards to go back.
"Go back and get ready!"
"I resign!"
After these people left, Zhao Yanxun's eyes focused on the sand table again. Everything will change tomorrow.
But this is not worth celebrating. Tens of thousands of zombies are besieging the city outside, and food shortages still exist...
At this moment, I heard Huo An come in and report: "Your Majesty, Madam Rong is outside asking for an audience!"
"not see!"
Huo An was stunned for a moment, then quietly raised his head that day. After seeing Zhao Yanxun's indifferent expression, he looked back and said, "Yes!"
After turning around, Huo An slowly walked out of the hall. Huang Rongrong was surrounded by several maids holding lanterns under the steps outside.
"Your Majesty, the prince has something important to do, so you should go back!" Huo An said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, don't you see me?" Huang Rongrong asked.
"Your Majesty has something important to do, so please come back!" Huo Anpi smiled.
She had not even seen Zhao Yanxun since the last time she listened to the music, which made Huang Rongrong wonder whether she had been abandoned.
When she came this time, she was already outside the main hall, but she was turned away. In the past, she could enter without asking for permission.
"Let's go back!" Huang Rongrong's voice was slightly choked.
…………
It's midnight, when people are quiet at night.
But in Yuanyang North City, this tranquility was broken.
A large number of soldiers blocked the main traffic roads, and the palace guards were distributed at key points. The Yuanyang dignitaries were caught off guard, and the North City was under Zhao Yanxun's actual control.
"There are monsters mixed in in Beicheng, and the palace is investigating them. Every family is closing their houses tightly and no one is allowed to go in or out!"
This is both an excuse and a fog, which can paralyze these powerful people and make them discover the truth later.
Tell them that there is a monster, and given how much these people care about their lives, they will definitely hide in their homes.
But this is just what most people think, but there is always a small group of understanding people who want to understand things clearly.
So they sent people to go out of the house to investigate the situation.
At the side door of Zhang's house, a dark figure sneaked out.
I saw him looking around a few times before sneaking into the alley.
But before the man took two steps, he was stopped by the patrolling guards.
"Dear gentlemen, I am going out..."
Unfortunately, before he could finish speaking, the guard in front of him pulled out a knife and stabbed him directly in the chest.
Lowering his head and using the light of the torch to look at his bleeding chest, the man still couldn't believe that he was about to die.
With a whooshing sound, the guard withdrew the knife and brought out a ray of blood. The servant of this mansion slowly fell to the ground.
