Chapter 84 Haizhou City Changes Owner

That night, a team of 5000 people was slowly heading towards Haizhou.

The Northern Song Dynasty divided the states and counties of the country into fifteen roads, with roads, states, and counties as administrative divisions.

The officials of the road, prefecture, and county are all taken by the central officials, which are of a temporary nature. The so-called "replace every three years with the power of the officials in Beijing and the court".In this way, the power of the local governor is dispersed, the term of office is short, and the force is weakened, making it impossible to confront the imperial court.

The advantage is that it weakens the local power, but once there is such a thing as gathering a crowd to rebel, basically you can only wait for reinforcements to suppress it.

Haizhou is close to the Yellow Sea, so it can be regarded as a good state and county. There are many guards at the gate of the city, and they are on duty with weapons in their hands.

"You must be more vigilant. These places are not peaceful recently, so don't let the thieves find opportunities!" Dutou inspected the soldiers on duty.

When the imperial guards from the central government came, they had to be more vigilant, but their superiors had told them that they had to be serious in the past two days.

"Dutou, there is a situation!" A guard called Dutou anxiously.

"What's wrong!" Dutou's heart suddenly rose.

"Look, there are a large number of people approaching over there!"

Hearing the words, Dutou hurriedly looked over, and sure enough, he saw a huge team approaching.

"Go and notify the commander!" Dutou hurriedly shouted.

"Dutou, look, that seems to be the imperial army!" Suddenly, a sharp-eyed man picked up the shape of the armor under the torch.

"Huh?" Dutou quickly lifted his internal energy and stared carefully at the team in the distance.

It is indeed the armor of the imperial army, with a lot of blood on it, it seems that they just returned after suppressing the rebellion.

All of a sudden he let out a long breath and relaxed a lot.

"Dutou, the imperial guards are so powerful, they defeated all the culprits in two days?" The guards were discussing.

They are considered as box soldiers, one level lower than the imperial army, but their fighting strength seems to be one in the sky and one in the ground.

"That's the imperial army of the central government. If the four bandits hadn't made a big fuss, you probably wouldn't have seen them in your lifetime. They're all selected strong troops!" All proudly showing off the news they heard from their superiors.

"What happened!" The commander in charge of night duty climbed up the city wall and asked.

"My lord, the forbidden army has returned from fighting the rebellion, I didn't see it clearly before!"

The commander glanced at the legion in the distance. Although he couldn't see it clearly, it was indeed the dress of the imperial army.

After approaching the city gate, the commander wanted to ask a few more questions.

"Bastard, quickly open the door and let us in!" Hearing sharp shouts.

"Hurry up, hurry up, open the gate!" The commander immediately asked his men to open the city gate.

Except for the eunuch who came from the central government to supervise the army with this iconic voice, if he offends this, it will be bad luck.

Even their local officials did not dare to offend each other, so he, a small commander, naturally did not dare to offend.

"I didn't expect it to be quite simple!" Looking at the wide-open city gate, Mu Yi looked sideways at Jia Xu beside him.

"My lord, I did as you said, can you let me go!" The little eunuch smiled obsequiously.

"Of course, I can also give you a sum of money, I hope you can say something nice to your ancestor!" Mu Yi glanced at the little eunuch, then waved his hand to signal Jia Xu to come forward.

Jia Xu approached the little eunuch spookily, and threatened him, which instantly broke the courage of the little eunuch.

"Remember, you went back to ask for help, you didn't lose the battle, you should be able to understand the gap!" Jia Xu patted the little eunuch's shoulder meaningfully.

I have to say that sometimes, villains are much more useful than gentlemen.

The little eunuch shook his head like a chaff sieve, he was completely intimidated by Jia Xu, and lost his ability to think. Facing Jia Xu's temptation, he instinctively made a choice.

"Congratulations, my lord, for winning..." the commander approached with a smile on his face.

"Do it!" Xu Huang rushed towards the opponent without hesitation, commanding his head to fly up instantly.

"The whole army raid!"

Xu Huang turned on his talent, causing the troops disguised as the imperial army to rush up the city wall like the wind, and instantly took control of the city gate when the guards didn't know what to do and the clouds didn't even rise.

"Go back and inform the First Army Corps to come. You, Huang Zhong, and Tai Shici are blocking the gates in the other three directions!" Mu Yi calmly let Gan Ning beside him act as the messenger.

"Promise!" Gan Ning cupped his fists and flew away.

"Congratulations, my lord, this city has fallen into the hands of our army!" Jia Xu congratulated with a smile.

Haizhou is equivalent to a county town, and it was a big victory for them to win it so effortlessly.

"It's not as good as words and calculations, just a few words, and I earned another five thousand armors for our army!" Mu Yi smiled and shook his head.

As long as there are no accidents, after the little eunuch returns, the imperial court will send troops again. As long as the number is not large, it is not a problem to trick them into the city to ambush them.

Solving the armor problem of a legion again is really the best strategy to attack and aid.

If it wasn't for Jia Xu's suggestion, he might have killed the little eunuch.

"It's just some schemes to play with people's hearts, and it won't be on the stage!" Jia Xu shook his head, after all, there is a limit to playing with people's hearts, which is why he is always drifting with the crowd.

After a noisy night, Haizhou City changed its flag and became a city controlled by Mu Yi.

Just like before, Mu Yi instinctively launched the fight against the local tyrants to divide the land. This is also the simplest and most effective way to win people's hearts. Only by giving benefits to these city people can they exchange for their support.

The annexation of land in the Northern Song Dynasty was only more serious than that in the Eastern Han Dynasty. If the aristocratic families in the Eastern Han Dynasty had to show some face, the big landlords in the Northern Song Dynasty would completely throw away the lower limit.

In addition, the Northern Song Dynasty did not restrain land mergers, resulting in frequent land transfers. A large amount of land disappeared during the transfer process and became the private fields of big landlords.

Wang Anshi's reform touched the interests of these big landlords, so he was removed from power.

But Mu Yi is not Wang Anshi, Wang Anshi is top-down, and Mu Yi has always replaced him.

Take all the land into his own hands, and then distribute the land to the people.

And if someone in the family joins the Yellow Turban Army, they can get more land.

For a time, there was an endless stream of people who were willing to join the Yellow Turban Army, and many of them were even Xiangbing and Xiangbing themselves.

While Mu Yi was busy with the uprising and pulling the team, Jia Xu also finished sorting out the classics of Haizhou City, and had a clearer understanding of the Northern Song Dynasty.

"It's rotten to the bone, it's hopeless!"

After sorting out the information about the Northern Song Dynasty, Jia Xu finally understood why Mu Yi once said that the Northern Song Dynasty was hopeless.

It is indeed hopeless, worse than the Han Dynasty, and internal and external troubles have reached the point where it is hard to return.

Jia Xu felt that even if Qin Huang and Han Wu were left in the position of today's emperor, there was no cure for it, and it was rotten from top to bottom.

It is more reliable to rebuild the universe after smashing it than to rebuild it from scratch.

"It sucks, but it's a good place!" Jia Xu sneered.

As their enemies, naturally the worse the better.
