Four hundred and ninetieth chapters closed city
Lu Wenluo bowed and said to Xu Xingwei: "Xu Junshi is very concerned about all matters and is very good to our brothers who are fighting, and we are all respectful."
At this time, Lin Shaozong also rushed over and everyone greeted each other. Lin Shaozong was the same as his behavior with Xu Zixian. He did not like to be arrogant, was silent and restrained, but had a heroic spirit in his eyes.
The two sea boats carried hundreds of people into the river, and from the port to bypass Qizhou Island, then turn to the other side of the Minjiang River, and then go straight to the wharf not far outside the city.
There are many boats on the river, and there are many small and medium-sized boats to transport supplies and personnel to Jianzhou on the shore. The boatmen on the shore are still dressed in thin clothes in winter. They shouted slogans and pulled the boats upstream. The water in the Min River in winter is very shallow. If the wind is insufficient, the hull is heavy and difficult to move, so the boatmen must pull it.
The river flows slowly. People see fleets, merchants on the shore, pedestrians on the shore, mountains and forests, people, donkeys and horses walking on the banks of the Minjiang River like silhouettes, walking along the official road to the distance, either climbing to the mountains, going to Xinghua Army or Quanzhou, or heading to the port docks in the Minqing area, or walking directly from the river to the capital city. Fuzhou Fucheng has also restored its original sense of grandeur and grace. There are city several feet high in the base of the city, surrounded by official roads, villages, sparse forest land and opened fields, as well as villages and towns that have been built, and there are endless crowds of people. Military flags are waving above the city. Many soldiers guarding the city are carrying long huts on the top of the city and are on guard against the city. At least from the outside, Fuzhou has generally restored its original appearance.
"It's still far from it." Xu Xingwei is from Fuzhou. How could he not see the difference between now and the past peaceful seasons?
The caravans decreased by more than 90%. There were only ships mobilized by the Qin Dynasty shogunate on the Minjiang River, and fishing boats and merchant ships were almost extinct. Because of the depth of reeds by the Minjiang River, many robbers used reed marshes to hide and used small boats to travel across the straits. They were inconsistent with each other and hid their traces from each other.
In fact, under the guidance of the Tizheng Department, both prefectures and counties on both sides were suppressing the thieves, but there were as many as tyrants. Due to the war, many gentry and elders in the clan were rich. As early as a month ago, when the news was wrong, these people took their little family to leave Fuzhou. Now the place is empty and the clan is empty. There were originally many wing troops in prefectures and counties, but under the guidance of King Zhao, almost all the garrison troops in each prefecture and county were gathered. In the battle of Jianzhou, the 70,000 wing troops were almost completely destroyed. Now nearly 50,000 people were under the supervision of Jianzhou... They surrendered to the enemy in front of the formation, not because they were captured. If not, they should have been released long ago.
The Xiang army was recruited and local gentry left. This is the reason why the hollowing out of the prefectures and counties was empty. What can those yamen front workers do? Many towns and villages are fine during the day, but have become paradises for thieves at night.
"Let's decide Fuzhou first." Xu Xingwei said to Lin Shaozong: "Fuzhou and the surrounding areas are certain, and then turn around to suppress the other counties, so the overall situation can be determined."
"The last one will follow Lord Xu's arrangement." Lin Shaozong said calmly: "As I was about to leave, the king said that he would specially allocate 400 to 500 war horses, and the soldiers of the accompanying army took a ride to speed up the efficiency of suppressing the bandits."
Xu Xingwei nodded and said, "This is the next step, and I won't use it yet."
Before more than 200 soldiers and officials of the prefecture arrived at the Fuzhou Prefecture Gate, they immediately attracted a lot of attention.
Previously, many soldiers of the prefecture army entered the city, and officials also entered the city, but they mainly entered the old mansion of Nan'an Hou in the prefecture to guard the guards and protect Xu Zixian's own safety.
After Xu Xiashang issued an edict, Xu Zixian did not live in the old mansion, but returned to the port of Qizhou. Half a month passed in a flash. Seeing that this year was about to pass, everyone did not know what His Highness Qin was planning. When they saw so many shogunate people rushed to the city gate, everyone was extremely concerned and did not know these generals of the government.
Why did the scholar come?
"Each city gate dispatches a team of people to cooperate with the city guards. After that, the people who have been in exchange for the exchanges are strictly investigated. No one is allowed to enter without the protection of the Lijia. If you encounter a thief with graphics and pictures, you will immediately take it off. The grain trucks and vegetable farmers will be released from the city after daily inspections. No outside merchants, pedestrians, and those without documents are allowed to enter without the entrance."
Under the city gate, Xu Xingwei ordered one after another, and his decisive and resolute attitude surprised many soldiers of the palace.
"The soldiers who guard the old mansion will join forces to catch the thief camps, guard the camps and guard the various fangfangmen. After nightfall, they will start to search everywhere in the city and search the nets!"
As soon as Xu Xingwei entered the city, he was decisive and did not hesitate at all.
The government troops in the small department supervised the wing army to guard the city gate. By the evening, the city gate would be closed directly, and the outsiders would not be given the opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity, and the thieves in the inner city could not escape at all.
Then, the troops guarding the old Nan'an prefecture were dispatched, and the newly arrived government troops were dispatched to mobilize the wings of the city and the robbers to catch the thieves, and guard the various yards, setting up many fixed garrison points in the city, squeezing out the space for many illegal people to move.
These two moves are already a pre-emptive opportunity, and we did not know whether to introduce the Criminal Department or the Pacification Envoy Department in advance, which shows Xu Xingwei's courage and responsibility.
Since the chief officer gave the order, the soldiers of the government army would not hesitate. Of course, the two heads sent several team officials respectively. There were five gates in Fuzhou City, and there was no urn city. The city wall was about eleven miles in radius. For the agile and tough soldiers, they ran very quickly at the city head. In less than half an hour after Xu Xingwei ordered, all the defenses of the city gate had changed hands.
"I'm going to introduce the Criminal Department now," Xu Xingwei said to Lin Shaozong: "Shaozong, you personally hold the letter from the king to appease the envoy's command to meet the commander, saying that we are taking over the precautions to suppress all the thieves, and it is not his intention."
Lin Shaozong nodded silently, without saying anything else.
In this way, Lin Douyao will certainly know what happened as long as he is not a stupid pig.
In fact, many days ago, Zheng Liqi and Yang Shiwei asked His Highness the King of Qin to send troops to quell the rebellion, but Xu Zixian politely declined such a request. Now the bandits are getting more and more troublesome, and the people in the city are no longer able to bear it. The officials and gentry are also suffering from the rampant bandits... I didn't see that the families of officials and gentry like Xu Xingwei and Wei Yi are organizing manpower defense patrols? The situation in the city will be so briefly released, which confirms that the remarks that the King of Qin cannot do without him are in charge, and also provides a very good public opinion to help His Highness the King of Qin take over the defense of Fuzhou.
As the prince of Kaifu, the Qin King was originally the governor of the Fujian Road Grand Governor's Office. He was responsible for the defense and public security of Fuzhou and the entire Fujian Road. He took over the city defense of the capital and investigated and dealt with thieves. It was a legitimate matter in any case.
"Shishou Lin will cooperate." Xu Xingwei did not explain much, but fortunately, Lin Shaozong had no intention of explaining, and the soldiers could only abide by the military orders.
Seeing the young general riding away without any hesitation, Xu Xingwei also showed a look of satisfaction on his face. No matter what, there were many talents around His Highness the King of Qin. This time, the attendants began to gradually send out training, which was probably related to the expansion of the army. The new army has been training for more than three months and is gradually sending military officers to take over the troops from the Military Training Department. The generals must be familiar with the soldiers, and the soldiers must also be familiar with their commanders. Everything is in orderly preparation.
Seeing the soldiers of the government army gradually gaining control of the Xiang army at the top of the city and sending the government army to guard the city gate together, Xu Xingwei nodded with satisfaction, and then turned over to the horse. He was a native of Fuzhou and had entered and exited the city gate in front of him countless times. As he was currently aware of the horse, Xu Xingwei felt even more strange.
The horse's hooves trampled on the road made of bluestone and slid out of Mars. With the sound of horse's hooves, the soldiers of the wings near the city gate and the people passing by all looked at the young official with awe. This was obviously the top management of the Qin King's shoal, although it was just a round one.
He was wearing a blue robe, and did not wear the official's hard head, but a black soft head, with a tall figure, handsome face and fair skin, like a successful official and gentleman, but no one suspected that this person was in charge of Fuzhou City at this time... Amid the sound of horse hooves, people suddenly realized that the Qin King opened the mansion and the entire Fujian Road had changed all the military and political structures.
The same sun rises in high-ranking officials, the same buildings, and the same crowd, but people suddenly understand and wake up, everything is very different.
...
"Have you taken over the city defense?" Looking at the young officer standing solemnly in front of him and who was greeted by the King of Qin's shogunate salute and had no respect on his face, Lin Douyao smiled slightly and said, "Since the King of Qin has opened a government office, the military and political power of Fujian are all the kings. Although I am a pacifier, I should act with stern orders and take over the city defense matters. Of course, I will do what the King of Qin wants. What is the following to do about the public security in the city? It is also necessary to do what the King of Qin wants."
Lin Douyao smiled again and said, "Since Your Highness has begun to show something, I want to ask again, when will Your Highness enter the city, where will you prepare to live, and where will you handle daily affairs?"
"Your Highness's residence is to move into the old Zhao Prince's Mansion." Lin Shaozong said calmly: "The old Zhao Prince's Mansion was ordered by Emperor Wenzong to build, using national treasury. The King of Zhao was abolished, and the palace must of course be taken back by the court. Your Highness of Qin is the only prince in Fuzhou. Is it reasonable to live in?"
Lin Douyao laughed dryly, not saying anything.
Of course, this is Xu Zi's revenge first, completely and unconcealed revenge.
The King of Zhao and the Nan'an Hou Mansion have been fighting each other for 30 years. They have been fighting each other with red eyes and have no blood and family affection at all. If King of Zhao wins, Xu Zixian is afraid that even his life may not be guaranteed.
Of course, with Lin Douyao's current thoughts, I'm afraid that King Zhao and his son might not be able to leave so easily.
However, King Zhao had received the imperial edict. Now everyone calls him Duke Zhao in official business only. Xu Ziwei is the prince of Duke Zhao. If nothing unexpected happens, the Zhao mansion will vacate the mansion within ten days, and prepare sea boats, put them out to sea, and go to Jiangling.
This old opponent finally reached this point, but Lin Douyao felt no sense of gloating. After all, King Zhao was over, and he had no power after that, and even the mansion could not be saved. His Highness Qin's revenge was left without any room for revenge. And as the sacrificial envoy along the way, he not only could not get the official position of Deputy Envoy of Privy Councilor, but also could not use that cool umbrella, but also greatly reduced the power of Fujian Road. From then on, he would only follow the church and follow the orders.
Lin Douyao has learned the style of His Royal Highness Qin's behavior at this point. If he doesn't send it, he will never hold back. If he sends it, he will be like a heavy rain and thunder.
"Shaozong, please go and inform Yang Dafu, Zheng Tixing and others again." Lin Douyao waved his hand and said, "All things in the city are required. If you want us to cooperate, please speak."
"Okay, thank you for your superiors." Lin Douyao's cooperation in everything was also expected by Xu Zixian. Lin Shaozong did not show a proud expression on his face. He thanked him first, and then said: "If you take charge of the road and comfort one side, there is no such important minister around His Highness. As long as the superiors sincerely cooperate with His Highness the King of Qin, the future situation in the southeast will still have a world of the general situation of the general in charge."
Lin Douyao's eyes were condensed and he said, "Is this what Shaozong said, or what His Highness the King of Qin?"
"Of course it's Your Highness's words."
"I know." Lin Douyao pondered for a moment and suddenly said, "Do you have enough hands? I still have more than a hundred personal cavalry, all of whom can listen and use them well, and can be assigned to you for command and use."
"Then I thank the general."
