The world of counterfeit magistrates competes in the world

Chapter 298
As the saying goes, a dead Taoist friend does not die a poor Taoist, so everyone immediately pushed another old man forward, pointed at him and said, "This is the governor of the Huazhou government office, the right-hand man of the state shepherd, and the number two person in Huazhou. "

The old man was pushed out by the crowd, his face was ashen immediately, he knelt down on the ground in despair, kowtowed, "The general wants to kill me, I am willing to die, please don't hurt my family, the general, they are innocent of."

Hearing this, Luo Feng couldn't help but chuckle, "Haha, who said I'm going to kill you? That Zhou Mu killed my envoy first, and I'll kill him later. Since you are not accomplices, why should I kill you?"

"Ah? General, you won't kill us?"

"Our Hengshan army is definitely not a massacre. When we entered the city, this general has issued a ban on the whole army not to disturb the people." Luo Feng looked at the crowd with a softer gaze, "Now, I need you to take the lead Appease the people in the city and maintain order in the city. Here I can assure you that our army is here only to seek money, not to occupy the city. As long as you cooperate, Huayuan City will still belong to you, and our army will soon will retreat."

Everyone looked at each other in amazement, and at the same time secretly groaned for Master Zhou. If they had believed the words of the messenger, they would not have suffered today's disaster.

"Okay, I will send people to protect your safety, and at the same time help you control the law and order in the city and appease the people. Let's quickly perform our duties and restore the operation of the city as soon as possible." Luo Feng didn't want to talk nonsense with them, so he immediately sent people Escort all the adults to stabilize the order, leaving Chang Shi alone.

"What is the name of this Master Changshi?"

"General Qi, my surname is Ding."

"Okay, Ding Changshi, take us to the treasury immediately." Luo Feng immediately went straight in and ordered.

"Ah? Yes, yes, yes!" Ding Changshi was stunned for a moment, and immediately recovered and agreed.

In the next few days, with the efforts of all the officials in Huayuan City, order was restored in the city again.At this time, many people discovered that the bandits who broke the city were not as vicious as they imagined. Apart from occupying important places in the city and patrolling, there was no burning, killing or looting, even if it happened occasionally. He was also caught and disposed of by the bandits themselves.Gradually, some bold people emerged on the street, and some small merchants began to set up stalls on the street to solicit business.Shops reopened one by one, and the whole city slowly returned to its former prosperity.

The defenders who surrendered have been placed in barracks outside the city, and the remaining civilians have been sent home.The rebel army began to take full control of the entire Huayuan City, and then began to search the treasury.But it is a pity that most of the materials in the treasury have been transferred by the Northern Expedition Army, and there are very few materials in the treasury at this time.Fortunately, there were still a large number of craftsmen gathered here in the city. Luo Feng unceremoniously used both soft and hard tactics, and recruited all the craftsmen and their families in the city into the army.

Seeing that the amount of money and food confiscated did not meet his expectations, Luo Feng was not reconciled, and immediately turned his attention to those noble families in the city.With the help of the investigation department, several wealthy families with grievous crimes were quickly searched, and the members of the wealthy families who committed serious crimes were dragged out for public trial and sentenced to justice.This move is not only to win the hearts of the people at the bottom, but also to kill chickens and monkeys.After killing a group of noble families, Luo Feng invited all the noble families and noble families in the city to have a formal showdown with them.Either take the initiative to donate money, food and materials, or be ransacked and exterminated.

With the lessons learned from the past, many noble families had to compromise, pinching their noses and donating a large amount of money and food.Luo Feng expressed his great appreciation for this, and even sent them a Hengshan command flag, telling them that if they were in trouble in the future, they could take out this command flag and they would be safe.But almost everyone dismissed this, muttering to themselves, only an idiot would take out this command flag, it is a crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason.Many people decided to burn the flag as soon as they returned home, so as to avoid future troubles.

Luo Feng didn't care what they thought. This move was just a fig leaf to cover up his extortion of these families. In the words of an adult, it was to collect protection fees, and then give a command flag as a proof of protection.The Li family is about to take over Huazhou, and these families will definitely be blackmailed again.If they hold this command flag, the Li family will not dare to go too far, and this will indirectly protect their lives and property.It's a pity that these people don't know the future at all. Whether they can keep this command flag depends on their eyes.

Just as Luo Feng was receiving the supplies delivered by the noble family, the messenger sent by Lin Yifan finally arrived.Sure enough, when the lord ordered the messenger to arrive, it was the time for them to return.

After the courier was settled, Luo Feng immediately ordered someone to count the supplies, and then summoned the generals of the various armies to discuss the withdrawal of the army.After deliberation, it was decided to conduct a final investigation among the 100 rebels. Anyone who did not want to follow the army to the north would be given 30 taels of silver as severance pay.Those who are willing to go north to Hengshan with the army will not only be given [-] taels of silver on the spot, but will also be allocated [-] mu of land in Xiazhou.

After a night of investigation, more than 8 of the 5 horses chose to stay in the local area, and the remaining 300 people were willing to go north with the army.Seeing this, Luo Feng didn't think too much about it, and immediately distributed 3 million taels of silver as severance pay to the 150 people.He took out another 5 million taels and paid the remaining 100 people on the spot.As for the war dead, more than [-] million taels were taken out as pensions for their families.He also promised that as long as they are willing to go north with the army, they can also distribute one hundred acres of martyrdom land for the family members to settle down for the rest of their lives.

In the end, 5 of the 6 rebels were willing to go north with the army. Together with their families, the total number exceeded 4 and 20.In addition, it also includes the families of the deceased, craftsmen and their relatives, about [-] to [-].In this way, a total of nearly [-] people will go north with Luo Feng.

On this day, all the rebels in Huayuan City withdrew from the city and handed over the city to the court again.At this time, outside the city, there were hundreds of thousands of people with flags all over the fields, stretching endlessly.With the sound of melodious horns, the crowd surged and slowly marched north.

Countless officials and civilians stood at the head of Huayuan City. They looked at the army like mountains and seas in horror, their eyes were full of disbelief, and the bandit army actually retreated.

They didn't expect that after a fierce and cruel fight, the ushered in would not be a bloody massacre.Even during their occupation, the law and order in the city was unprecedentedly good, much better than under the previous government control, so that some of the people among them still hoped that this large army could stay.

Sun Changshi saw those rebels gradually going away, he sighed slightly in his heart, "These rebel soldiers are so benevolent and disciplined, they have never committed any crimes, it shows that their master has a big plan, I am afraid that there will be a place for the Hengshan Army in the world in the future, and even, Can aspire to the Central Plains."

Just when Luo Feng led the army to go north, Jishanguan finally received Lin Yifan's handwriting, allowing the Li family's army to go south to Huazhou.After Qin Yuanhao confirmed it, he ordered the door to be opened and closed. All the soldiers waited in full force, occupying the sides, watching tens of thousands of Li family troops marching southward.

Li Yuan's nephew Li Sheng, as the main general of the southward army, passed through the Jishan Pass partly nervously and partly excitedly.When tens of thousands of troops passed through the Jishan Pass, he couldn't help shouting loudly: "Huazhou, we are here!"

Then he turned his head and looked around at the equally excited generals, drew his sword and shouted: "Soldiers, Huazhou will be ours! Everyone will attack the city with me and have fun! Go!"

Following Li Sheng's loud cry, the entire army screamed as if they had been spat with chicken blood, and the grievance that had been waiting at the Jishan Pass was finally released. "Come on! Grab money, rob food, rob girls!"

The army immediately quickened its pace and galloped south.
