1019. Fujian Festival

Huang Hua, Zhi Yongshou, Kui Yinghao and others watched, looking sad and feeling even more solemn.

Although Zhi Yongshou and more than a thousand soldiers broke out this time, the losses of the righteous men in the martial arts world were too heavy. The top masters were almost dead.

This undoubtedly makes the situation in Changle County even more unfavorable.

After the bodies of all the righteous men in the martial arts world were burned, Huang Hua handed over the city defense matter to Zhi Yongshou and headed towards Zicheng Government Office.

Zicheng is the real power center of Changle County. It does not occupy a wide area, but Fuzhou's top yamen and the most powerful ministers all live here.

Even though it was late at night, the government office was still brightly lit.

In the storm of Changle County, few people could sleep peacefully, from the powerful ministers to the people.

Lian Liming, the governor of Fujian Road, sat in the main hall of the government office, and was not sleepy at all.

He had not slept peacefully for two nights, his eyes were covered with thick blood, and his eyes were filled with worry.

This Changle County is really in danger.

He was not afraid of death, and he had even made plans to sacrifice his life for the country. However, the destruction of Changle County was almost the same as the destruction of the Eastern Gate of the Song Dynasty. He was guilty of the holy grace.

Until now, Lian Liming clearly remembered that scene.

At that time, he was just a mere conscript of the water transport in Tingzhou, Fujian Road. Not to mention the entire Fujian Road, even in Tingzhou, he was not considered a powerful minister.

He has always been unwilling to rush to the point of being in power and joining in the crowd, and has been vaguely rejected by other officials.

Someone once laughed and said that the Tingzhou canal transport envoy was just a night wanderer.

But on that day, it was less than two months after the reincarnation of the emperor in Fujian. Wen Tianxiang, a military officer, went to Lian Liming's home in the holiday.

Although Lian Liming was surprised why Wen Tianxiang came in person at that time, he only thought that Wen Tianxiang was here to make him express his opinion. After all, Fujian is no longer the Fujian of the Pu family.

So Lian Liming did not wait for Wen Tianxiang to ask questions, and then said bluntly that he was no longer interested in the officialdom.

The passion and desire to help the country and the people over the years have finally been beaten to the point of being unsatisfied.

He was really dead.

But when Wen Tianxiang heard his words, his smile became even stronger and said, "I heard that the Lian Cao Transportation Army was upright and honest, and he was dedicated to serving the people. It is really better to meet than to be famous."

Then he smiled and took out a roll of yellow imperial edict from his sleeve.

Wen Tianxiang placed this volume of imperial edict next to Lian Liming, and said again: "The emperor said that whether you can accept this edict or not depends on your own wishes."

Then he got up and left Lian Liming's house.

Lian Liming stared at the imperial edict in a daze, and even forgot to send him to Wen Tianxiang.

When I came to my senses, Wen Tianxiang's figure was already gone.

Lian Liming opened Zhao Dongting's imperial edict with a little heaviness and curiosity.

The words above made his eyes immediately pop up, filled with incredible colors.

In a vast Fujian, I only listen to Lord Lian coming out of the mud without being stained, and being upright and honest, and being clean and honest. With the second place, I was ranked second and I was not promoted for more than ten years and was not promoted. I was despised by all officials, but I still benefit the people of Tingzhou. This great perseverance and great love should be the best among all the ministers in Fujian. I am willing to serve the governor of Fujian Road, and Lord Lian will think about it.

All the words in the imperial edict praise Lian Liming.

What touched Lian Liming the most was Zhao Dongting's last words.

Whether to be the governor of Fujian Road, let him make his own decisions. This is enough to reflect the respect the emperor has given him.

It is not even possible to say that the emperor is full of grace.

After all, Lian Liming is just a mere messenger. Even though he is the second-class man, what is he actually worth compared to the emperor?

If the emperor had not respected him, he would not have to give him the right to make decisions.

The emperor is heaven.

Who dares to disobey the emperor's will?

Not to mention, this imperial edict was promoted to Lian Liming. And it was promoted several levels in a row.

After seeing the imperial edict, Lian Liming was stunned for a long time, and his eyes finally turned red. The sadness of not seeing talent for more than ten years seemed to have turned into warmth at this moment.

Although Lian Liming did something for the people of Tingzhou, how could he be so virtuous?

Since then, Zhao Dongting's figure in Lian Liming's heart has become extremely tall. Although, he has never seen Zhao Dongting at that time.

Two years later, Lian Liming went to Changsha to report to Zhao Dongting on government affairs. He had a long talk with Zhao Dongting both times, and he admired Zhao Dongting even more.

Lian Liming was deeply impressed by the various political views, political means and personal courage of this young emperor.

If the Song Dynasty had such a wise ruler, what reason did Lian Liming have to refuse to sacrifice his life?

The emperor treats him so holy, what reason does he have to be unhappy?

Therefore, since Lian Liming took office, he has been a position of Ke Zhong, and he has treated this Fujian Road as his own home to take care of it.

Now, there are robbers robbing the house outside the house, so why don’t Lian Liming wait and be worried?

He swore in front of Zhao Dongting that he would build a prosperous Fujian Road for the emperor in his lifetime.

"Mr. Lian!"

When Lian Liming was stunned, Huang Hua walked in from outside.

Lian Liming looked up in a daze, and saw that it was Huang Hua, and his eyes finally showed some light and asked, "Mr. Huang, what's wrong with Commander Zhi and others?"

He is the chief official of Fujian Road. Huang Hua, as the Fuzhou Road appeasement envoy, was the patron saint of Fujian Road.

Of course, Wen Tianxiang, who was stationed in Fujian Road, did not count.

Lian Liming also knew about Zhi Yongshou being surrounded. He was so worried just now. Without the Fuzhou garrison army, he could not defend Changle County.

Huang Hua walked to Lian Liming and sat down, sighed and said, "Captain Zhi and his friends were rescued. However, many righteous men in the martial arts world were killed or injured, and all the monks in the Luohan Hall of Yongquan Temple were almost all passed away..."

Lian Liming was stunned.

Finally sighed, "Oh..."

His thin cheeks seemed a little depressed at this moment.

He also knew that these charity soldiers in the martial arts world were very helpful. This news really made people feel cold.

After a while, Lian Liming asked Huang Hua again, "Then Lord Huang came to look for me in such a hurry, right..."

Huang Hua sighed and said, "There are only more than four thousand guards left in the city. I want to ask Lord Lian to recruit some of the tops of the city to help us resist the Yuan thieves."

"this……"

Lian Liming immediately showed a hesitation on his face, "The people are the foundation of the country. As a Fujian parent official, how can I make up for the purpose of issuing such a conscript..."

Huang Hua said: "I don't want the people to resist the Yuan thieves, but have you ever thought that if the Yuan army breaks the city, can the people still live well?"

Then he said, "I know Lord Lian, you care about the people, but now you are helpless. The Yuan thief is coming in full force, and our Fuzhou defenders are afraid..."

Lian Liming frowned slightly, "Mr. Huang, can you give me a brief explanation? If the people are not summoned to the city, how long can you stop the Yuan thief?"

Huang Hua replied: "It depends on how much price the Yuan army commander A Shu is willing to pay. If he ignores the price, he will probably stay in the inner city for at most two days."

Lian Liming nodded slightly.

Then he said, "When the Yuan army attacks the city, I will personally lead the officials to the city and set an example for all the people. Only this conscript order... I am really shameless to issue it."

Whether the people are willing to go to the city to block the Yuan army is the people's business. If the conscript order is issued, the taste will change.

Since Zhao Dongting came to power, the Song Dynasty has never forced the people to go to the city to fight.

Seeing Lian Liming like this, Huang Hua had to give in, "In this way, there will be a lot of hard work for Lian Liming."

Of course, he didn't want the situation to really reach the point where the people needed to fight in the city, but now he had to prepare for it.

I just hope that when Lian Liming led the officials to the city, the people would be touched by them.

In this way, Changle County may be able to hold on for a while.

As long as the Guangnan East Road garrison arrives, the situation in Changle County will always be a little better.

This night passed quietly.

A Shu did not lead the army to attack the city again.

The Yuan army under his command was only entrenched in the outer city and formed an encirclement of the inner city.

The torches on the top of the city were lit all night, and many soldiers did not sleep all night.

The tense atmosphere always condenses in the air and never dissipates.

Huang Hua, Gao Tianzong and others have already made the worst plan. That is to fight the Yuan army to death in this inner city.

They have no choice but to retreat.
