Chapter 160 Anmin Notice
?A thrilling night passed, and the anxious people of Xiyang City ushered in the first morning of the New Year. The snow had stopped all night. According to the past, it should have been when people went out to do things, but the snow-covered streets were still deserted.
No one dared to go out easily because they were afraid of being hit by the soldiers and losing their lives. The unsettling movement in the street last night made many people hide at home and shivered. The young lady was smeared on her face by her family and was stuffed into the corner of the straw pile for fear of being hurt by being broken in.
After a lot of trouble last night, I heard someone beating drums and drums in the neighborhoods everywhere shouting that the thief was surrendered. The government had already controlled the situation and relieved everyone. But the people still decided to "use calmness to control the movement" and then take a look first.
Yuwen Envoy was a good official. Everyone hoped that he was fine, but before the matter was implemented, the people were afraid that the thieves would deceive them into kidnapping them out by the name of Yuwen Envoy, so they all acted as turtles.
This situation quickly reversed. The state yamen sent officials to patronize the door doors under the leadership of various village chiefs. First, they announced the situation to be stable, and they checked whether anyone in the family had sneaked in or held their families hostage and refused to make a statement to avoid exposing their whereabouts.
"Everyone should believe in the government and the envoy Yuwen. Don't hide at home and tremble!"
"The thieves who caused trouble last night were arrested. Yuwen envoy is safe and sound. Don't listen to rumors, and don't spread rumors!"
"The government has an order to capture the thieves in the whole city. If the city gate is closed for three days, if you have to leave the city, you will first go to the village chief to register and then wait for the prefecture to approve the note and go out from the north gate with it."
"The ugly words are ahead. If anyone dares to hide the thief, he will be punished as accomplice!"
With the situation, I saw the inner-camp slapping my chest to ensure the stability of the situation. People first looked at the streets with skepticism. There was indeed nothing unusual in the market except for the more patrols, so they calmed down. By the time of Sizhi, the streets were already bustling, and people gathered at the intersections to watch Anmin’s notice.
Actually, it’s because most people are illiterate and can’t understand what the dense square words on the notice mean. Thanks to the “enthusiastic people” who are chanting it out loudly without getting tired of them and they know what happened last night.
First of all, the ins and outs of the matter: some of the wealthy families in the city, led by the military leader Tian Yuansheng, were resentful of the Lu family, Tian family, and Chen army from Wuchang County, Jiangnan, who had a grudge against the people's wealth after taking office, because the envoy Yuwen took office and eliminated the accumulated problems and cut off their wealth. Therefore, they were resentful of the Lu family, who colluded with the outside of the city, and Chen army from Wuchang County, Jiangnan, broke out last night on New Year's Eve.
It was not surprising that everyone here looked scared. The rich people in the city had any objections to the envoy Yuwen. Although everyone applauded the envoy Yuwen, they also knew that they were anxious and wanted to bite people. There were also the Lu family and the two powerful families outside the city, and the Tian family, who were also "doing unrighteous things will kill themselves." It was natural for these people to cause trouble.
What is unexpected is that Tian Yuansheng actually attracted Chen Jun from Wuchang, Jiangnan. If he had won the Chen Jun last night, the people in the city would be raped and they would not know when they would return to Xiyang.
With the beginning of "thriller", I naturally wanted to listen to the process. The "enthusiastic man" coughed and continued to read: Last night, the Tian family was feinting an attack outside the west gate of the city, while the Lu family was entangled in the military camp outside the east gate. The purpose of these two families was to restrain the envoy of Yuwen and let the government lose sight of the other.
Then Tian Yuansheng seized the south gate and let the Chen army cross the river enter the city. Seeing that the Chen army, who was like a wolf and a tiger, was about to start a massacre and kill the people in Xiyang City, rob money, grain and women. One of Tian Yuansheng's accomplices suggested that the army directly attack Yuwen Envoy's mansion and then do something else after they were defeated. This suggestion allowed the people in the city to escape the catastrophe.
"Who is that person? He is so kind-hearted!" someone asked, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead. The war has been going on these days, everyone knows how terrible it is for soldiers who are unrestrained to indulge in the unrestrained way.
"Don't be anxious. Listen to me to read slowly."
Seeing that everyone held their breath and continued to recite the "enthusiastic person". According to the notice, the person was Li Fang and Li Dong's family, because they were still conscientious, felt that Tian Yuansheng's lead troops into the city would harm the people, so they sent someone to notify Yuwen to prepare early before the uprising.
Seeing the urgent situation, Yuwen envoy signaled Li Fang to prevent the people from suffering from the trouble of the city and told him to lead Chen Yuansheng to attack his mansion, and to exchange the casualties of his mansion for the safety of the people.
Hearing this, the people were silent for it, and then someone shouted loudly, "It's a disaster to kill Tian Yuansheng." Everyone shouted excitedly. They were moved by the "righteousness" of Yuwen Envoy to sacrifice their own family to protect the people. Their "righteousness" was moved by Tian Yuansheng's actions.
Bastard, I’m always riding on our heads to shit and pee. I finally came Yuwen Jun who is the ruler of the people. You actually brought Chen Jun to kill him! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!
Yuwen envoy could lead Chen army to his home for the sake of the people, but Tian Yuansheng led Chen army into the city for his personal grudges, so that the people could suffer from military disasters. It is clear at a glance which one is better and who is worse.
At the call of the "enthusiastic people", people finally calmed down and listened to him continue to read: Chen Jun, led by his response, surrounded Yuwen Jun's mansion, and the two sides attacked and defended for more than an hour, and the guards in the mansion were suffering heavy casualties. As they saw this, they could not resist Chen Jun, who was like a wolf and a tiger...
"Then what? Then what?" Some people asked anxiously when they saw that the following text was gone. Everyone wanted to know what happened in Yuwen Envoy's mansion later. The "enthusiastic person" slowed down and then continued to read and told the subsequent development of the matter.
It turned out that Li Fang, who was an insider for Yuwen Envoy, was in a state of anxiety when he saw the critical situation. Yang Sima led the state soldiers to break through the heavy interception of Tian Yuansheng's party members and easily passed the intersection guarded by Li Fang to Yuwen Envoy's mansion and caught Chen Jun off guard.
The two sides started a melee inside and outside the mansion. The scene was so tragic that it really made people excited. At this time, the Lu clan soldiers who were besieging the military camp outside the eastern suburbs of the city were also attacked by surprise soldiers sent by Hengzhou Governor Zhou Fashang to support him.
"So it's the second son of the governor Zhou's family!" An older sighed. The younger ones couldn't figure it out and asked who the governor Zhou was. The older people showed a look of vicissitudes and talked about the past.
The governor of Zhou was the former prefect of Xiyang, the former governor of Xiyang of Liang and the chief governor of Jiangbei Road of Chen. He was the prefect of Xiyang more than 20 years ago. Later, he became the general who guarded the six prefectures of Jiangbei. About seven or eight years ago, the six prefectures of Jiangbei were led by Tian Longsheng, the governor of Dingzhou, and joined Qi. Zhou Jing, who was appointed as the chief governor of Jiangbei Road, led troops to fight Tian Longsheng to the point of falling.
"That time, the governor of Zhou defeated tens of thousands of thieves outside Xiyang City. Zhou Erlang, Zhou Fashang led the Zhou family troops to fight the Lu clan soldiers who assisted the thieves to defend the city. By the way, Zhou Erlang is the current governor of Hengzhou."
This is all the past. Many people were either not born or were ignorant. When the old people said this, they nodded: "No wonder, the Lu family helped the evildoer to abuse, and the soldiers sent by Zhou Erlang did a pretty job!"
"The Lu family helped the evildoer to abuse. The official army defeated him in one fell swoop and then took the Chin River City!" The "enthusiastic man" who was taken away from the limelight said loudly and attracted his attention to him again.
Everyone was excited when they heard that the Lu family's old nest Bahe City was taken down by the government army, but before they could ask questions, they heard the other party's topic and talked about the situation in the city: the city's official army and Chen army finally gained the upper hand after fighting fiercely. At this moment, they were originally feinted to attack the west gate of Xiyang City, and the Tian clan soldiers at the north gate were left behind by Yuwen's envoy "Xiao Yi Da Yi" and turned against him.
Hearing people say that Tian’s family turned against each other, they immediately touched the southern gatekeeper’s guard Chen Jun and the warships on the riverside together with the official army coming. The people present were stunned. They knew that the chief of the Tian family and the envoy Yuwen had a personal grudge, but they did not expect that there would be a big reversal.
"This... Isn't Tian Zongchang's son going to be pulled out by Yuwen Envoy... Their Tian family is actually willing to listen to Yuwen Envoy?"
When the discussion started, everyone knew that Tian Zongguang had only one son and was about to be "reformed" by Yuwen envoy, which means that Tian Zongguang was about to be defeated and he could still "reason"?
"Enjoy the truth and help others lose the truth and few helpers. Yuwen envoy acts openly and honestly, and there are no fears that those ghosts and monsters will cause trouble. Naturally, those with insight are following each other!"
"It's right, it's right. Yuwen envoy is dedicated to the public and has many people to help him. How can he betray his despicable villains like Tian Yuansheng?
When the people heard this, they nodded. They didn't understand any great truth. Anyway, they were happy to see that the envoy Yuwen got help from many people to turn danger into safety. As the saying goes, good people will be rewarded. Good officials like Yuwen, who have overcome all obstacles and bring them to justice will be happy.
"So, the main culprits such as Tian Yuansheng, who launched the rebellion last night, and the attacking Chen army were captured and sent to prison." The enthusiastic man was so thirsty that he finally thought about the result. "Now the government is sending people to search the house and search Tian Yuansheng's party members, so I would like to ask everyone to help. When I see those suspicious people, I immediately report to the official!"
Everyone nodded vigorously. If Yuwen envoy wants to catch the bad guy, he must help. It is Tian Yuansheng and others who are troubled during the Chinese New Year that makes everyone uneasy. It is not that material to fight, but it is always possible to beat the dogs in the water!
The same scene was repeated in various parts of Xiyang City. More than one person posted Anmin’s notice, and more than one "enthusiastic" explained the content to everyone. Just a meal, everyone in Xiyang City knew what happened last night, and the rumors that had been privately circulated by many people were self-defeating.
Everyone knew that the thief was surrendered, and they also knew that Tian Yuansheng and his masterminds were captured. They also knew that the captive commander of the Chen army was actually the prince of Chen State and the King of Shixing Chen Shuling. The government had been searching the house for the whole morning. It is said that Tian Yuansheng's house alone had collected several cars of valuable goods.
None of the masterminds who planned the rebellion escaped, and their families and servants had been found to be detained by the government behind them. Some of them escaped while they were unable to escape from the city, but were sent to the government by the "Xiyang people".
