Chapter 51: Entering Yingchuan
"I wish to be loyal to the envoy!" Meng Gongwei didn't expect that what Pei Qing gave him was such a task, but this was not a loss for him, and it was even the most generous treatment, because he could improve his strength through study tours. At that time, he only needed to bring a few people back and he could further improve his strength. He could not find such a good task even with a lantern.
Moreover, his task is not risky, because Pei Qing gave him a mission deadline of five to school managers. He is not only responsible for establishing county schools and recruiting children to study, but also responsible for the education of village contracts, so that the farmer can have a safe birth. I wonder if the teacher is willing to take on this responsibility?"
Zhou Pei was immediately moved when he heard this, because Pei Qing gave him a position not low, which was equivalent to the municipal education director in later generations. Although the county school was very small at that time, there were not even some, and there were not many Shangguan school students. As for the education of the village, it was a grassroots matter, but this was also a entrusted to a person who had just defected to him.
So Zhou Pei immediately bowed to the ground, was flattered, and said to Pei Qing: "I trust you so much, dare Pei not do anything to share your worries?"
Although Pei Qing did not say that the granting of the elixir was, Zhou Pei knew that this was a test for him, so Zhou Pei was now full of fighting spirit and decided to do something good to win Pei Qing's trust.
After that, Pei Qing appointed his subordinates, Zhou Cang was engaged in thief Cao and was responsible for public security; Pei Yuanshao and Yin Kaishan were engaged in military affairs and were responsible for defense; Xie Lingyun was the chief clerk, and was in charge of various affairs of the prefect's office, which was equivalent to the secretary-general, Tang De was the county magistrate and Gongcao; Fan Qin was engaged in garrison, Zhong Yan was the household magistrate, and Pei Qian was the Diannong Chief, who was fully responsible for military farming matters. At the same time, he decided to personally inspect the current commanders of each county after taking office. Those who passed the qualifications continued to remain in office. Those who failed were demoted or dismissed. For the removal of the county magistrate, the gentry from various places, he would then allow him to take office after he personally inspected.
After sufficient preparations, Pei Qing led more than 100,000 people, with production tools, plowing oxen and other things, and headed down the mountain to Yingchuan.
As soon as we arrived at the Yingchuan area, the local county magistrates greeted the people with gentry. The officials and gentry were all fat and red, and they were plundering. At first glance, they were like people who were plundering people's wealth.
These people also gave Pei Qing a lot of money and property, and Pei Qing accepted it with a smile, because he had just gone down the mountain and it was not the time to deal with these people. Another reason is that if Pei Qing took action now, it would easily cause confrontation with the entire Yingchuan officialdom, and the other would also lead to alarming the snakes and let the people's borers escape.
That's why Pei Qing accepted the gift calmly, and under the guidance of these people, he successfully came to Yangdi, the county governor's office, and took charge of the entire Yingchuan County.
It was New Year's Eve when Pei Qing came to Yangdi. Pei Qing then took out wine and meat, feasted the guests and had fun with the people. At the same time, he issued a notice of peace and security, issued various policies, and arranged for people to move to various places to live, and at the same time took over public security and defense. He was very busy.
After Pei Qing arrived in Yangdi, he had already ordered the army to wait and see, thinking that if the chief of any county refused to surrender, he would immediately order the army to attack. Unexpectedly, the chief of the seventeen counties would send people to the county magistrate's office to report within one day and give gifts to express his respect.
At this time, Pei Qing finally realized that this was because Yingchuan has been suffering from war in recent years. Not only the common people, but even the local wealthy families suffered a lot, especially the prefect of Yingchuan being killed by Xu Rongpeng this year. This is even more worrying, for fear that one day the disaster will come. At this time, Pei Qing led an army of more than 10,000 to Yingchuan. This was simply a timely help. Both the big families and the people hoped that this army could help them guard Yingchuan to block the invasion of the powerful enemy and ensure the stability of Yingchuan. Naturally, he expressed great welcome to Pei Qing's entry.
So, this time Pei Qing led the crowd into Yingchuan, which really seized an unprecedented good opportunity. It was exactly what the people wanted and the general trend was. The time was just right, because if it took a while, it would be taken away by Cao Cao, and if it was before this, it would be controlled by Sun Jian.
"Since I have chosen here, since everyone has chosen to believe me, then I must protect this land well and let the people here live a peaceful life. Although I will eventually enter Nanyang in the future, Yingchuan will never be left behind. I believe that with my ability, I will definitely be able to do this. No matter Dong Zhuo or Cao Cao, no one can take it away from me!"
