Suzhou Prefecture is all the territory of Chuzhou Prefecture, and the three destinations of the "East Expedition" are now just one Songjiang Prefecture.

Deng Jian's troops and the navy's troops combined have no 100,000, but also 80,000. It is naturally no problem for a Songjiang Mansion.

Here at Huo Bao, Hou Xiaoming and others also returned to the mansion to pay their jobs one after another.

Coincidentally, the magistrate of Changshu County, who was in charge of Qiu Wei, opened the city gate, and the magistrate of Wujiang County, which Hou Xiaoming and Shi San attacked, and the magistrate of Kunshan County, who did not leave.

When all three counties were occupied by Chuzhou Army, officials from Wujiang County and Kunshan County were escorted to Suzhou, and officials from Changshu County were surrendered officials, and they also went to the capital city to ask for the young master Huo Bao.

With different positions, Huo Bao couldn't say which one of the officials in these three places was good and who was bad, nor did he have the patience and energy to distinguish. He was his own choice, and he was seeking kindness and gaining kindness.

For losers, sometimes it is harder to live than to die.

Killing is not the best strategy, but killing is also the best warning.

The siege in Wujiang County suffered considerable losses, with nearly a thousand casualties under Hou Xiaoming's subordinates.

Under such circumstances, even if the magistrate of Wujiang County is quite upright and has no obvious bad record, Huo Bao would not think about taking care of this person.

The Wujiang County Magistrate and Wujiang County Magistrate who were in charge of the battle were all searched, but the whole family was gone.

The Wujiang County Magistrate, who surrendered, was resigned before, and Huo Bao directly asked him to restore his post to assist the Chuzhou army in stabilizing Wujiang County.

The officials in Kunshan who were in charge of the war were detained and their families were confiscated into hard labor camps.

For the officials surrendered in Changshu County, the Chuzhou army did not test their loyalty and directly transferred them from Changzhou and their families were on standby in Jinling.

The gentry in Suzhou City were all paying attention to the movements of the Chuzhou army.

The white shirt in Chuzhou is different from the white shirt in Qichun. Wherever Chuzhou white shirts go, most gentry are used to comfort them; the white shirt in Qichun directly divides the land of the gentry, and all the rich and poor are given to those mud legs.

Officials from the three counties entered the palace, and how many people watched.

Needless to say, Changshu County was a coward who had no eggs, but he didn't even resist and opened the city gate directly.

The other two counties were both defeated after the war, and they seemed to be detained, but the disposal results were different.

The families of Kunshan County officials have been dealt with.

Hard labor camp!

The families of officials from Wujiang County were first detained back to the city, and then there was no movement.

The land of a mansion and the officials and gentry are inseparable connections.

It’s not that everyone is thinking about pleading for the magistrate of Wujiang, but that they want to see how Chuzhou Army deals with officials in the three counties, and whether they want to find a way to plead for the officials in the city.

Everyone has a passion for incense. If you can plead, plead early; if you can't plead, try to tear the relationship apart and don't be dragged down.

They are all in the city, and if you say that there is nothing to do with it, it is also a self-deception.

On the first day of March, the Suzhou Government Office posted a notice. At noon on the third day of the lunar month, the magistrate of Wujiang, the county magistrate of Wujiang and two adult men were beheaded to commemorate the hundreds of heroes in the battle of Wujiang.

Everyone was shocked.

"Where is such a reason? Just because you don't surrender, your family will be beheaded?"

“Too much, too much!”

"Wujiang County has fought, and the Fucheng City has also fought. The magistrate of Wujiang was beheaded. Who is the Master of the Fu Zun?"

"Didn't Yan Wang leave? Why did the left-behind kill people?"

The gentry in the city was shocked by the news and could not find any way to find out.

Who made the Maitreya Cult not widely spread in Suzhou Prefecture? Everyone is really unfamiliar with the Chuzhou Army.

Two scholars in the city, Zhang Jiaoshou had already been "sent" from the city of the city; Li Jiaoshou left the city of the city and went to various counties to distinguish the authenticity of the church.

The magistrate of Wujiang County is a liberated official, but the magistrate of Wujiang County is a local gentry.

Although the Wujiang County Wei's family was detained, there were still relatives there, so they were forced to walk around the city.

However, the city was also in a mess, with all the officials detained, and the gentry and elders were as quiet as chickens and dared not move rashly.

The Wei family in Wujiang County was wandering around like a headless fly. There was really no way, so they gave up thousands of taels of silver to smash the way.

It ended up hitting Wu Yuan.

Wu Yuan is currently in charge of the security of Suzhou Prefecture City, leading people to rectify brothels, casinos, and other places. When he showed his face, he made people pay attention.

Where can Wu Yuan check in?

But he was afraid of delaying Huo Bao's layout, so he did not say anything to him, but reported it to Huo Bao directly to see what Huo Bao meant.

Since Huo Bao decided to kill someone, he was not a bluff.

He would not wait until Deng Jian comes back to kill someone for the sake of so-called reputation, so that Deng Jian can take the blame.

"I'm really brave. I'm already generous without killing my relatives. I dare to jump up and down to find relationships?"

Huo Bao was quite surprised, but he did not mean to let Wujiang County Magistrate go.

The Wujiang County Magistrate should have known this consequence when he led the county soldiers to fight to the death to resist the Chuzhou Army.

Hundreds of Chuzhou troops cannot die in vain.

It is Huo Bao's kindness to only punish the "master evil" and not to vent his anger on the people of Wujiang.

The captured county soldiers in Wujiang have long been sent to Changzhou Iron Mine.

The tribe members of the Wujiang County Magistrate received the reply, but they became afraid and did not dare to jump up and down again. They immediately hid back to Wujiang honestly.

Before, they also had the meaning of temptation.

There are the most people in this world who can make trouble. Even if they are not dragged down by the county magistrate, if they cannot keep the pillars, they will inevitably be "robbed" afterwards.

Now that I have obtained the accurate letter, I cannot protect the county magistrate, but I will not be irritated. The rest is to return to my hometown to protect myself.

By the third day of the March, on the school grounds in front of Suzhou Prefecture, all the adult males were beheaded.

As for the two ministers who claim to be loyal to the court, they say something before their death, there is nothing to do.

No matter what you say about loyalty to the court or cursing the Chuzhou army, it is a joke.

Huo Bao didn't give them a chance either, and each of them stuffed a big walnut into their mouths.

More than a dozen people fell to the ground and rolled on the ground. The people watching were frightened.

This is still the case when a county town resists, but what about the mansion?

The coach Gao Du and the prefect are in charge of the battle. What will happen if they are in charge of the battle?

How would this young master do?

If it is killed, will it involve others?

If you don’t kill, what will happen?

After all, Suzhou’s donor is the city of Suzhou people, and local gentry always has to speak.

The world is in chaos, and the court... cannot do it anymore.

Everyone is a scholar and knows the change of dynasties. Now this is a crisis and an opportunity.

"Give money to redeem it!"

Huo Bao did not interfere with these people and asked people to pass on the message.

The redemption was not the detained Gao Dushuai, the prefect and others for the defeat, but... the families of these people, the mother and young son of the Suzhou prefect, the wife and children of the Suzhou Tongzhi, the wife Ru of the Suzhou governor, and the brothers of Gao Dushuai...

ah?

A bunch of things?

The family of officials who had escaped from the city before did not leave.

Huo Bao would not say that these people were going to run away, but were arrested by the Chuzhou army. He only said that these people wanted to "be suspected of colluding with the enemy" and temporarily detained them and allowed their families to redeem them.

These people wanted to run to Hangzhou Prefecture and Songjiang Prefecture. Chuzhou Army and the officers and soldiers separated from each other. It was not unfair to say that they "cooperate with the enemy".

"Who didn't take the family's wealth and run away? Not only did the family get the money, but they would have to get the second time!"

"Before, the Sun family in Wujiang had no way to ask for help, and they thought that this young lieutenant was not greedy. I thought that he looked down on the Sun family's three melons and two dates!"

"After all, my family is relieved. My family is allowed to redeem it. Gao Dushuai and the prefect..."

"These officials and masters have taken away all their wealth before, and the rest is a shop and a house. I can't say I can get a vacant one, hehe!"

“…”

Before the gentry and merchants were gloating and watching the excitement, they also saw Chuzhou troops coming to visit.

Everyone has a share.

Long before the Chuzhou army surrounded the city, in addition to officials and family members, there were also gentry and merchants who stopped them halfway.

The charge is also "suspected to collude with enemies", and each company is allowed to redeem it.

The amount of redemption is different for each company, roughly 30% to 50% of the total property, which is enough to hurt the muscles and not to force the dog to jump over the wall.

The first ones to pay the money were those officials.

Officials who are not short of money know that saving their lives is a goal of wealth.

When their ransom was paid and all the families were put back, the gentry and merchants could no longer sit still.

I don’t want to give it, but I can’t bear to give it, but do I dare not give it?

A few days ago, more than a dozen people in Caishikou landed, and they insisted on forcing the Chuzhou army to "kill the chicken to warn the monkey" to cut down another batch?

Or do you want to run away?

The city gate has been closed, and it is allowed to enter and not exit.

If there is any abnormal movement, will the tens of thousands of Chuzhou soldiers eat vegetarian food?

With the deadline for paying the fine, the gentry and merchants in the city paid the ransom without losing any loss.

The Chuzhou Army did not make things difficult for everyone anymore and asked people to release them.

On the seventh day of the third lunar month, with the news of Songjiang Prefecture coming, the gate of Suzhou Prefecture also opened.

Zhu Qiang got the sweetness of the previous interception, and this time he was also moved and asked Huo Bao for instructions: "Master Bao, should you arrange people to prepare at several official roads? What if someone wants to leave again? Suzhou Prefecture is really rich!"

Huo Bao shook his head and said, "No, they can't bear to leave!"

Things are precious when they are separated from their hometowns, but people are humble when they are separated from their hometowns.

When the Chuzhou army besieged the city, they made a decision to leave their hometown and lost half of their industries.
Chapter completed!
