Chapter 709 The world is hey, all come for righteousness
As the New Year approaches, all parts of Zhongshan Kingdom have completely emerged from the shadow of war.
In fact, the continuous battles in northern Hebei did not cause great damage to the people. Although the Hidden Mist Army used civilians as cover to seize the city, compared with the brutal city offensive and defensive battles, this small thrill was nothing at all.
Worth mentioning.
Some of the people who participated in the operation knew nothing about it in advance, and some were bribed by Wei Yan. When Tu Qiong saw him, some were frightened and fled in all directions, while others plucked up the courage to wave flags and shout to strengthen their
Momentum.
But no matter how they behaved at the time, everyone's intention after the war was unified. If such a good thing happens again, we must work hard to participate.
It's not that the people's consciousness is high, it's just that the rewards given by Qingzhou's military were too generous.
Without knowing it, those who fled were given a handful of corn shortly after the war, which was said to be a relief payment. Those who were injured in the chaos were treated better. Not only could they enjoy free medical treatment, but they also received condolence payments compared to those who had not been injured.
Twice as high as that of others; as for those who did not avoid danger and stood on the side of Qingzhou to cheer for the battle, it was even more remarkable. They got the title of 'Yi Min'!
"Brother Six, looking at you sighing, I don't understand. How can an empty title be more important than real food and copper coins?"
Lunu City, the administrative center, has not been affected by the war. Taking advantage of the geographical advantage, the post-war recovery speed is even more amazing. It is obviously the twelfth lunar month of winter, which should be the most depressed time of the year, but just from the street market, people
The scene of people coming and going seems to be a bit more lively than in summer and autumn.
There were a lot of people gathered outside the government office. Everyone was talking to each other and pointing excitedly at the notice posted in front of the door. Although most people didn't know what the notice said, they didn't
Literacy does not mean poor memory. After the official's lecture, most people remembered the content related to them.
Among them, the title of righteous citizen is one of the hot topics.
"What do you know? Even though the word "Yimin" is only one word different from "Grandma", the meaning behind it is much different! With the title of "Yimin", you can enjoy a lot of conveniences. You can reduce taxes when doing business, and you can get more income from farming.
If you want to be an official, you can receive free training and be given priority to become an official. Even your children can go to the academy to study. You don’t have to pay for your own travel expenses and food..."
The person who spoke earlier was a skinny young man, and the man called Sixth Brother was a tall, middle-aged man. At this moment, the man had a look of pain on his face, and while answering, he patted the skinny man on the back.
The reporter's eyes turned white. Even so, the thin man still listened very carefully. The accurate description was an expression of extreme yearning.
"My dear, you are not a righteous citizen, you are obviously a righteous person!"
"Isn't that right!" The big man slapped his thigh hard, and his broad face almost dripped with pain. "It's just a little bit worse! If you weren't looking out for your sister-in-law and nephew over there, I would have rushed up, wouldn't I just be waving flags and shouting?
Huh? General Wei was so majestic that day that he followed him. How could there be any risk? We once had such a good opportunity in front of us, but we just missed it. Brother Ji, my heart is so cold.
ah……"
"Yes, yes." The thin man nodded hurriedly. Both of them were residents of Weichang County. The big man took his family to Wuji to escape the snowstorm last time, but he didn't go, so they separated. They just met in Lu
They met again in Nucheng, but he didn't expect that the other party would have such a fate. For a moment, he was envious and felt sorry for his friend. The feeling in his heart was extremely complicated.
"Sixth brother, so you came to Lunu City this time not to receive a title? Could it be that you are too..."
"Of course I applied for it!" Speaking of this, the big man became energetic again, patted his chest and said: "If you fall in a ditch, you are not careful. If you fall every time, then you are not smart.
Who is General Hussar? Lord Wuquxing, who has descended to earth, has a keen eye. He knows who is doing his best and who is cheating!"
"Brother Six is talking about..." The thin man nodded, shook his head, put his hand to his mouth, and exhaled while saying: "But this time I went to Sashi! I heard that the battle in the north was terrible.
Well, General White Horse is surrounded by barbarians. Our side is fine, but Fan Yang’s side is in terrible trouble. I heard..."
"Ah! Aren't you here to apply?" The big man touched the back of his head and found that the two of them had different conversations.
"Look at our bones, how can we have such strength?"
The big man's voice was loud, which attracted the attention of some onlookers. The thin man felt that he was a head shorter out of thin air, and said in defense: "I came to take over the wasteland, and spring is about to begin. I heard that this time,
As long as it can be planted, you can claim any unowned land, up to fifty acres! I heard that the government also lent seeds and cattle, um, and wasteland..."
"That's not bad." The big man was born rough but thoughtful. Seeing his friend's expression, he knew that he didn't have the courage to join the army as an auxiliary soldier and go to Youzhou to gain fame. He immediately changed the subject and said seriously: "Brother Ji, how are you doing?
However, that is a personal matter, and others cannot persuade or control it, but you have to know that the world has changed now..."
The thin man looked up blankly, and when he saw his friend's sincere face, his heart couldn't help but feel warm.
"How good is Qingzhou's new policy? I'm a rough guy and can't tell you. But you'll know just by looking at the smiling faces of everyone. However, you still have to seize this opportunity by yourself. You can't just focus on farming like before.
, not caring at all about other things, everyone is like a dragon, after all, they are divided into different groups."
"To be honest, your farming style is really not that good. Staying at home and farming is not a good way out. Even if you are thinking about my mother, marrying a wife, passing on the family line, and don't want to leave your hometown, you can still find other jobs.
Ah? Isn’t the Yamen recruiting officials? You used to be a clerk in the Zhen family’s caravan, so you are very familiar with the terrain of this generation..."
"I, am going to be an official?" Upon hearing this, the thin man suddenly became frightened.
"What can't you do?" The strong man glared, pointed at the notice, and said loudly: "Didn't it say it on the notice? Only those who are qualified should be selected! Only those who use their talents should be qualified! It means that if you have something to do, just apply for it. No.
There is no restriction on origin or status. No one will laugh at you if you are dismissed. Why not give it a try? Isn’t it just to be an official? I’ve heard of it. General Hussar said that the easiest job in the world is to be an official.
! Folks, do you think so?"
"I've heard this too!"
"But General Hussar, the old man is talking about the officials in the past. It is not easy to be an official in Qingzhou now. It requires real talent and learning. Look at Mr. Yuan Hao. In the yamen, big things and small things are grasped. That is called a well-organized one. Like this
Not just anyone can be an official. However, it’s not difficult to go to the Yamen for a run of errands. If you want to go, just go and give it a try.”
Someone echoed, someone reminded, and the atmosphere became more and more lively.
Seeing his friend's expression move slightly, the big man knew that the other party was interested. He was about to strike while the iron was hot, but was interrupted by a burst of rapid hoofbeats. When he looked up, he saw a fast horse galloping towards the end of the long street. The rider above saw it from a distance.
The crowd shouted loudly: "Folks, please give way, it's an urgent military situation!"
"Buzz!"
The crowd suddenly became commotion. People crowded and got out of the way, whispering to each other, and the bold one directly raised his voice and asked: "Master, where is the military situation? Did the hussar general win the battle?
?”
"There is indeed good news." The scout did not hide anything. He replied calmly: "My lord went north with a small force and entered the territory of Fanyang ten days ago. He was continuously besieged by the bandits and won consecutive battles. In the battle of Juma River, he defeated the Xianden camp and the Qi army.
The Zhou thief army joined forces, and the enemy general Qu Yi committed suicide after being defeated. Now the territory of Fanyang has been completely cleared..."
"oh!"
"The king is mighty!"
Everyone cheered loudly. It was not until the scout reined in his horse at the gate of the yamen and was about to enter that someone asked what he said: "Master, besides the good news, is there anything else?"
"This..." The scout hesitated. It is said that this is not some confidential military information. According to the rules set by the lord, it is okay to say it. However, there are so many people gathered here. If it gets spread out, it will change and cause panic.
Not good.
"It doesn't matter, just say it." When he was in trouble, someone came out of the house slowly and said calmly.
The scout looked up and was overjoyed. He clasped his fists and said, "Sir, please know that General Ji has urgently reported that the Xianbei army is approaching Feihu Road and is attacking Guangchang City. General Ji has withstood the enemy's surprise attack, but the enemy's
The situation is so great that Guangchang City is in disrepair and may not be able to defend it for a long time, so I urge you to speed up the delivery of food and grass so that the main force can speed up its march!"
His tone was low, but the effect was astonishing. Silence fell instantly in front of the Yamen, with only a few inaudible whispers echoing.
"Flying Fox Fortress was attacked?"
"The barbarians are really coming?"
"Can you hold on? If the barbarians break in and break in, it will be all over."
The scout's heart tightened, this was what he feared the most.
In the strategy of Northern Xinjiang, Zhongshan Kingdom and Piaoyujin are the two most important logistics bases. If panic leads to chaos without fighting, then he will be a sinner through the ages. Of course, this news cannot be kept secret forever, but if the Yamen blockade is effective
, it’s okay to delay it for three or two months, but by then, the situation may be different again?
"I know, report back to General Ji. Reinforcements will arrive soon. Just let him concentrate on fighting the enemy." Tian Feng was not panicked at all, and his reply was indifferent, as if what he heard was not an urgent military situation, but an urgent military situation.
The cook reported that the recipe for dinner was the same. After saying that, he went directly into the house.
The scout was at a loss, not knowing what Tian Feng meant. When he looked around in confusion, he was surprised to find that in such a blink of an eye, the surrounding atmosphere had changed again.
"Hugou is here to die, that's great! This time I want to get the title. I don't even have to go to Youzhou, I can just do it at my doorstep! Those in front of you should hurry up and don't block the road if you don't sign up. I have to go to Feihu Fortress to make meritorious deeds!"
"A big man shouted excitedly.
"Brother Six, I, I want to go too, do you think it can be done?" Another thin man asked timidly.
"What's wrong? Didn't I just say it all? If you want to be successful in the future, you can't do it without the title of righteous citizen..."
"It makes sense, count us in! Go to Guangchang and beat the barbarians to pieces!"
The question and answer between these two people was like a signal, which suddenly dispelled the panic, and the atmosphere suddenly became high.
The scout was dumbfounded, and then he admired Tian Feng. No wonder Mr. Yuan Hao didn't panic. It turned out that he had expected it.
