Chapter 188 Self-reliant and self-proclaimed, the governor of Anbei

As Zhou Bai expected, if the city gate is not open, it is waiting for him.

Qu Zhi, the commander of the personal army, is obviously not qualified to take over Bei'an City. The people in the city can clearly see that this city is the best gift for them to show their favor to the new owner, and it is very important to whom it is handed over to.

The wind in late spring blows away the haze, and the bright sun shines on the whole city.

In less than a stick of incense, the gate of the city opened suddenly, and several gentry leaders in brocade robes with harmless smiles on their faces were in front of them.

Behind them are the people in the county who are neatly lined up and anxious. They have been tossing a lot during this period of time. The overwhelming stone bombs are simply everyone's nightmare.

However, the image that Zhou Bai created before was really good. The people of Dafeng County, North County live and work in peace and contentment. They have some expectations, but they really have a kind of warm atmosphere to welcome Master Wang.

Each of them brought rewarding drinks and food, and placed them on both sides of the road, showing a respectful attitude of welcoming the new owner.

Zhou Bai's eyes first looked at the common people, and he was relieved after finding that there was not too much rejection and hatred.

In a sense, he was the one who took the initiative to attack the city after all. During the siege during this period of time, he also caused damage to the city and caused many accidental injuries.

Of course, Zhou Bai believes that after a period of administration, the better and better life will eliminate all grievances invisible.

The broad public opinion can be put aside for the time being, but these leading people are the actual representatives of the current public opinion, and we must pay attention to it.

Zhou Bai wanted to unify Bei'an, so he had made sufficient preparations to recognize who they were at a glance.

It is nothing more than the heads of the big families in Bei'an City, the Chen family of the county king, the Wang family of the county king, and the Qi family of the county hero...

da da~ da da~
The scene suddenly became quiet, only the sound of footsteps remained. Zhou Yuan, Gao Hu, Jiao Tu and Qu Zhi, all the generals, followed a few steps behind with a group of murderous personal soldiers.

Tiao Jing was already a decent horse, with majestic blood, tall and proud, and the white air that he exhaled rolled the dust on the ground. Zhou Bai riding on the back of such a big horse added a bit of majesty.

Not long after, he had already ridden in front of a group of gentry and patriarchs, feeling oppressive.

So powerful that they didn't dare to look up for a while, so they all bowed down and knelt down to pay respects.

Swish, swish, and then rows of people behind the wall also knelt down and shouted.

"I'll pay my respects to General Fu Mo!"

Unlike the gentry, what Zhou Bai felt was not oppression, but the surging popular spirit of submission, which is to determine the fate of the "master minister".

The attitudes of the representatives of "People's Heart" were very good, so Zhou Bai stopped putting on airs, got off his horse, and stepped forward to help them up one by one.

"Please hurry up, it's my fault that it was too late to save everyone."

The heavy and mighty force that overwhelmed them just now disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by Zhou Bai's gentle and kind words, which made people feel like spring breeze.

Several Patriarchs looked at each other and understood Zhou Bai's attitude, so they began to present gifts in turn.

Chen Xian, the Patriarch of the Chen family, the prefect of the county, held a wooden box and said respectfully: "Lin Ren, a staff member of the pseudo-Jiedu mansion, tried in vain to prevent Wang Shi from entering the city, so I offer his head here."

Zhou Bai opened a corner of the wooden box, and it turned out to be Lin Ren, the great counselor who helped Sun Yucheng stir up the situation in his previous life, and now he died so easily.

However, at most, he was a little bit emotional. After all, the trajectory of luck in life is so unpredictable, and it is difficult to get back on track even if you make a wrong step.

Then came the other gentry, who successively presented the treasury key, the granary key, the population yellow book, the fish scale album of folk fields, and so on.

After learning of Sun Yucheng's defeat, in just one night, the key areas and important power in the city were all in the hands of the big family.

This is why Zhou Bai believes that the few people in front of him are the representatives of the people in the city.

No matter how you treat them in the future, for the time being, you have to stabilize them first.

Zhou Bai asked people to take all the things as they were ordered, and then laughed loudly: "Hahaha, these gifts have saved me a lot of trouble. In the future, I will need more advice from you guys. The huge Bei'an cannot do without you."

"Where, where...these are what I should do."

The big gentry had all shown their faces before it was the turn of the Jiedu Mansion's forces, the former "officials".

When the Sun family's father and son were fighting each other in the Jiedu Mansion, the civil and military officials had already been cleaned up, and then they were cleaned up by the gentry forces in the city.

Lin Ren, the only staff member of Jiedu who was still in charge, was also killed because of his troubles. Now there are only three or two Xiaoyu who come out to ask for surrender, and there is not a single official who leads the officials of the Jiedu mansion.

In the end, there were only a few trembling civil servants who respectfully presented the Great Seal of Bei'an Jiedu to complete the surrender process.

As for the three or four thousand dejected soldiers next to them, who put down their weapons one by one and were caught without a fight, they were just the background boards that were ignored.

Zhou Bai just turned his head to glance at these surrendered soldiers, and made a conclusion in his heart that it would be superfluous to be his militiamen.

They were all local rogue soldiers captured by Sun Yucheng. They were simply used as supplements, their spirits and spirits were completely broken, and their physical fitness was also extremely poor.

After all, he didn't even bring them to the decisive battle last night, so it can be seen that they are not trustworthy.

After the process was completed, Zhou Bai got the Great Seal of Jiedu, and immediately felt the weight of the Great Seal, as if there was a heavy burden on his back.

Looking closely, the back of the seal is in the top style, and the four slopes are engraved with four lion patterns with different postures.

A slope-shaped two-story platform protrudes from the middle of the back, and a squatting lion is cast on it as a button. The lion's head is slightly raised, and the hair is draped behind the back. frame.

The silver lion button, the standard feudal town festival seal, with a higher specification, it is a gold seal that can only be used by kings or kings.

This is the carrier of the entire Bei'an County, which finally gathers the luck of the imperial court, and it is also the sustenance of a few people who still believe in the orthodoxy of the imperial court.

If Zhou Bai now announces his successor as the Jiedu envoy of Bei'an and issues orders with a large seal, it will be logical to take over a complete and unharmed Bei'an County immediately.

Because judging from the current situation of the imperial court, if Zhou Bai wanted to be a Jiedu envoy, he would definitely not refute it, and it would not even be good to add another title to appease him.

This depends on the real message, and it is not necessary to sort out the government orders slowly, and use methods such as harvesting, tax cuts, and resisting foreign enemies to make everyone return to their hearts.

Suddenly, the lion on the big seal seemed to come alive, and a domineering lion roar sounded from somewhere.

With this lion's roar, Zhou Bai's heart was filled with the temptation of boundless desire for power.

It's as if the lion's button festival India is persuading him to return to the court and enjoy the name of orthodoxy.

Hold up the great seal, and you can call Bei'an...

At this moment, Zhou Bai really held up the Great Seal of Jiedu, and knew some secrets of the county princes, Chen Xian and Wang Yong, with complex expressions on their faces.

Could it be that this person is really going to succeed Jiedushi?
Luck is deeply involved, and if you want to get out, it's not like resigning from office before, and now this unscrupulous behavior will no longer exist.

However, when Zhou Bai held up the Great Seal of Jiedu, what he announced was not what they thought.

"From now on, I will be called Anbei Dudu, and I will change Bei'an Jiedu Mansion to Anbei Dudu Mansion. This Jiedu Great Seal will be cast as the Governor's Great Seal."

"See Anbei Commander." Before the others could react, Zhou Yuan's generals had already led the demon-subduing army to kneel down.

Is this self-reliant?

However, with Zhou Baiqiang in power, the gentry and family owners who had been hinted and promised before would not raise any objections.

They hurriedly followed and knelt down to pay homage, General Fu Mo stopped calling, and just called Zhou Bai's self-proclaimed new name together.

Governor of Anbei.

There is always a layer of separation between ruling the mortal world in the name of Fumo General's Mansion. Now that Zhou Baigang claims to be the governor of Anbei, he has felt the will of heaven in a flash.

Fighting for dragons is always an internal matter of humanity, in which there are people who pay attention to and support the general trend of humanity, not just the supreme way of heaven.

After seeing Zhou Bai claiming to be the governor of Anbei, he was in a good mood, and someone who was good at observing words and expressions immediately reported: "Whether the governor enters the city now, the people in the city have been looking forward to Master Wang for a long time."

"Decree, the army enters the city, and puts up a notice to calm the people. If anyone disturbs the people, military law will be followed!" Zhou Bai nodded slightly, waved his big hand, and the army behind him began to enter the city in an orderly manner.

The gentry and nobles hanging behind looked at Zhou Bai and Da Jun's backs and discussed in low voices.

A noble family head of the county was the first to ask: "What do you guys think of the name Zhou Fumo pulled out?"

"Wonderful, wonderful beyond words." Wang Yong, the Patriarch of the County Wang, praised decisively.

"Could it be that it's wonderful to take off the title of heaven and act in the title of master?"

"That's right, this man is a celestial being, but he wants to fight for the way of the hidden dragon, so he needs the title of governor..."

Wang Yong was noncommittal to other people's speeches, and instead asked Chen Xianfa: "What about Patriarch Chen, what do you think is so wonderful?"

The Bei'an Chen family and the Ping Cang Chen family are one in the sky and the other in the ground. The former is an old wealthy family that existed when Bei'an County was just established, while the latter is just an ordinary county wealthy family.

Chen Xian was also the vaguely recognized leader of the big family forces, and yesterday he was the first to decisively order to kill Lin Ren and take control of the Jiedu Mansion.

Facing everyone's eyes, Chen Xian looked like he was holding the pearl of wisdom, and after a while he explained lightly: "The most wonderful thing is the word Anbei in the governor of Anbei, Bei'an, Anbei, it seems that the word is just The order has been changed, but there is a real difference in status."

"The governor of Bei'an, the restrictions are too strict, and can only be used to control a county, which is not conducive to the subsequent development. However, the founding of the country and the establishment of the government and the king's foundation are insufficient, and the luck pattern cannot bear it.

"That's right, it's just right to use the word Anbei to replace princes, marquis and other titles of titles. If it's small, it can be the north of Dingzhou, and if it's big, it's not bad for the entire northern border..."

These gentry owners thought the conversation was secret, but they didn't know that Zhou Bai had been paying attention to them.

However, Zhou Bai quite agrees with Chen Xian's statement, and he wants to use the title of Governor of Anbei to make the transition.

It's just that it will definitely not take too long. When the time comes, a country will be established. How can we wait until the entire northern border is conquered and use the name of the governor of Anbei.

Of course, the most important thing is to call yourself, not to use the name of the court.

Otherwise, as long as they want to be independent in the future, it will greatly damage the hearts of the people, and they will suffer losses in righteousness, and other Qianlong lords will also use this to make a fuss.

In my memory, there was a big hero in Blue Star, who was a minister of the court until his death because of the bondage of his name.

Zhou Baiyou took the words of the Patriarchs to heart, and he never forgot the words of the common people.

"These crouching demon troops are so mighty, no wonder the Sun family can't beat them."

"The old man has traveled far and wide, and has extensive knowledge and knowledge, but he has never seen such a well-organized military appearance, marching as one."

"In troubled times, we Bei'an people may really usher in a hero who can protect everyone from living in peace."

"Welcome to the governor, welcome to the master!"

The amazement and admiration of the people in the county city made the chests of the soldiers entering the city more straight, and they walked more tacitly.

Who would have thought that these township children would be settled in the central city of the entire Bei'an County as "masters" today.

Who brought this honor to them was Zhou Bai, so when Zhou Bai entered the city from the middle of the army column, the atmosphere of the people was enthusiastic, and the morale of all the soldiers was also extremely high.

The few patriarchs who followed behind couldn't help but wonder if their new governor now made himself emperor, and these big soldiers would follow him to the death.

But no matter what the atmosphere created by people is, the real environment in the city is hard to see.

The first time the counterweight giant trebuchet was used in Zhou Baifu's future political and economic center, the Bei'an City in front of him.

It can be seen that there are all broken walls and ruins, and there are countless houses that have been bombed down. There are almost no intact buildings on a street, and there are dilapidated buildings everywhere.

And because of the continuous siege war, the garbage could not be cleaned up, human and animal filth was piled up in the corners, and the stench was suffocating.

Therefore, Zhou Bai's first order after entering the city was to remove all armor except for the troops guarding important areas.

Strive to help the common people rebuild their homes in the shortest possible time, restore the cleanliness of Bei'an City, and reproduce the bustling and prosperous time.

As the soldiers went deep into the ruins to clean up the mess regardless of the mess, the people in Bei'an City also had a strange feeling in their hearts. Maybe this army is really different.

"Fathers and elders, we are responsible for the construction of your smashed houses!"

"Come here, kill the remaining livestock in the rear camp and distribute them to the people as our gift of apology..."

In the center of the city, the former Bei'an County Government Yamen, the former Bei'an Jiedu Yamen, and now the Anbei Governor's Mansion.

This is the only place in the city that can be cleaned up in time, even if the traces of the collision of swords and swords on the pillars are clearly visible, and the smell of blood can be heard from time to time, Zhou Bai directly settled in without any scruples.

As long as he sits in the official seat of the government office, it means that the Anbei Dudufu is officially established, and it means that the Dudufu will start to manage the entire Bei'an County.

A series of messengers were sent to the north to report the good news, with Zhou Bo's decree, to relocate the general's office as a whole; To the four counties in the south of the county.

While Zhou Bai was busy dealing with the affairs accumulated in the army, Li Yuan and Yao An came together after investigating the situation.

"Report, my lord, the grandson's house is full of blood, and there are indeed no living people. The 130 members of the direct line were all sacrificed by blood."

"The one who presided over the blood sacrifice was Bu Yuanzi. He sat in the grandson's ancestral hall and managed the blood sacrifice formation. Now he has been backlashed by luck, and his soul has been scattered."
