I came to this world to enlighten the gods

Chapter 85

"Li Yuanlong cooperates with Wu Yunyu to control the outer city; Hou Yuanxun accepts the gates of the inner city; Wei Ziping patrols illegally and controls all dangerous places in the inner city; Shi Hongyu and Zhong Zhengye follow me to the prefect's mansion"

After Li Qing entered the inner city, he immediately ordered to fully control Nanhai City, and led a battalion of troops to the prefect's office, the highest governing office in the county. To control the county, the prefect must be controlled first.

Prefect Song Xiangrong obviously didn't know about the development of the battle outside, and there were still heavy guards outside the prefect's mansion. When Li Qing arrived, he saw the prefect's mansion fully guarded by a team of elite soldiers, and he couldn't help laughing.

What's the use of relying on a small team of elite soldiers if the inner city falls again? It's better to concentrate all forces to defend the city. This prefect is really childish and ridiculous.

"Who is it! The prefect's mansion is not allowed to trespass"

Seeing hundreds of officers and soldiers approaching, the guards hurriedly stopped, showing a serious look of vigilance, disturbing the prefect and they will be punished.

Li Qing didn't bother to talk nonsense with them, and directly ordered to take it down. The guards were surrounded by a battalion of troops, and they were all disarmed and detained without holding back for a few breaths. Shi Hongyu led the troops back into the mansion to control the servants.

Zhong Zhengye led people into the main hall to check the household registration book, and found the prefect's seal to dedicate to Li Qing. The group took over the government affairs of the county government in an orderly manner, and the prefect Song Xiangrong was escorted soon.

Li Qing directly locked him up with Jun Cheng Shi Feng, it's not time to deal with them yet.

The prefect's mansion was cleared out, the former servants and maids were dismissed with money, and the guards took over the defense of the prefect's mansion. This will become Li Qing's temporary residence, and the guards inspected it very carefully.

Afterwards, various news came continuously. Wu Yun chased the barbarians for [-] miles, killed [-] barbarians and finally let the barbarians escape. Li Yuanlong had already taken over the defense of the outer city. into each camp.

A day passed, and Nanhai City finally stabilized.

Zhong Zhengye led the officials to complete the disaster relief work after counting the county storehouses and granaries. During the more than ten days when the barbarians raged, the outer city suffered heavy losses, and almost every household wore hemp and mourning.

Fortunately, the barbarians did not have time to take away the money that the barbarians robbed. Except for a part that was used to rebuild the outer city, the rest was confiscated and used as military expenses for the next recruitment.

After three consecutive days of rectification, the military administration of the county and city fell into Li Qing's hands. Li Qing ordered his soldiers to summon city officials and squires to gather in the prefect's mansion to deal with the aftermath of the barbarian attack on the city.

Before the officials and squires arrived, Li Qing's officials gathered in the main hall of the prefect's mansion, and You Chang also came to participate in the meeting to discuss the next move.

Wu Yunju, Hou Yuanxun, Wei Ziping, Shi Hongyu, Li Yuanlong, Fu Yulong and other generals took their seats after saluting.

Li Qing looked at his team, there were a lot of talents in military generals, only Zhong Zhengye was barely able to use civil servants, and there was still a lack of talents in politics, so he had to select people from demoted officials.

First of all, the generals reported their own situation. Li Qing had known about this for a long time. He just let the leading generals know the situation of the friendly troops. The main purpose was to recruit, train, digest and surrender troops.

Then Zhong Zhengye began to report on the reconstruction of the outer city. At the end, he changed the subject and said: "My lord has already occupied Nanhai County as a base area, governing hundreds of thousands of people and nearly ten thousand troops, but he is only the master. Shun, I ask the lord to give a just name and clarify the system."

As soon as these words came out, the audience was silent, everyone sat upright, and all their eyes were on Li Qing. Judging from the current situation, the status of the master is too meager, and he is no longer worthy of the status of the lord.

Li Qing smiled casually, this was what he should have meant, but he needed to carefully consider what title to get, nodded and said: "That's true, it's impossible to expect the imperial court to grant you a title, you can only claim the title yourself, do you have any suggestions?"

Hou Yuanxun said excitedly: "Princes from all walks of life in the advanced world have proclaimed themselves kings and emperors one after another, and as the lord, at least they have to be called kings."

"After the lord raises an army, he uses his troops like a god and wins every battle. Why don't you just call him the Ever-Victorious King?" Li Yuanlong suggested.

Li Qing shook his head secretly, how can the title of king be so easy to call, calling the king just after occupying a county is nothing more than a joke?What's more, a grass-headed king like Chang Sheng Wang is even more unrefined.

This was picked out by Zhong Zhengye, and he naturally had an idea. He immediately stood up and said: "The title of the king should not be messed up, it should be based on the area of ​​rule. The ancient king title is the best. The barbarians of Jiaozhou once established the Shanyue Kingdom, and the Lord took the king of Yue as Jia. It is also logical to rule Jiaozhou Yueman."

What several people said didn't suit Li Qing's wishes, so he could only say: "We just occupied Nanhai City, calling it a general is too much, how can we be called king? It would be good for General Man to open a mansion and build a government office as a Jiedu envoy."

Wei Ziping, who had been silent all this time, wondered: "Is the status of the fifth-rank Pingman general too low?".

You Chang, who was sitting in the corner, saw his eyes light up, and looked at Li Qing in surprise.

The name can't be messed up, it must be based on one's own strength, if the name is too high, the luck will be divided, and if the name is too low, the luck will be lost for nothing. With Li Qing's current strength and the position of the fifth-rank prefect, the Pingman general is indeed the best choice.

This kind of secret can only be taught to the direct descendants of famous families, how did Li Qing know?Could it be a mistake!

Regardless of the reason, being able to make such a choice is a testament to this person's destiny, and You Chang looked at Li Qing with even more awe.

Li Qing looked at everyone and said, "I have made up my mind. After meeting the officials and squires in the South China Sea, I will immediately call him General Pingman and formally establish a ruling system."

Seeing that the lord had made up his mind, the others couldn't persuade them anymore. Soon the officials and squires arrived, and after seeing Li Qing, they sat down one after another. The atmosphere at the scene was very strange. The officials in the city were all higher than Li Qing, but they wanted to salute Li Qing instead. Many officials It feels weird.

There was no sound in the hall, and the officials of South Sea City did not listen and looked at Li Qing's servants and generals. Zhong Zhengye and the others had dealt with each other in the past few days, and knew that it was Li Qing's adviser, and the rest of the generals were their focus.

In particular, Wu Yunjuan was even more eye-catching. This man from a barbarian background turned to Li Qing, and Li Qing, who subdued the barbarian generals, was even more mysterious in their eyes.

Li Qing coughed lightly and said with a smile: "Some time ago, the barbarians invaded the city and everyone was shocked. I have been busy with the reconstruction of the city for the past few days and have not had time to summon you, please forgive me."

All the officials and squires looked at each other, their faces were very strange, and they cursed shamelessly in their hearts. A mere chief bookkeeper seemed to pretend to be the prefect of the county, and no one dared to speak out against him under the sword.

"Come on, bring the criminal up here"

Li Qing saw that the officials in the city were very docile, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He naturally knew what these people were thinking in their hearts.

The guards escorted the two old men in prison uniforms to the main hall. The officials were even more frightened when they saw the coming, and even lowered their heads unconsciously. These two were their Shangguan Taishou Song Xiangrong and Juncheng Shifeng.

"Ah, traitorous officials and thieves, imprisoning Shangguan, you will die badly"

Li Qing's complexion changed, he stood up abruptly, pointed at Song Xiangrong and Shi Feng, and said: "The officials in the city neglected their duties and caused the barbarians to invade the city, and countless people died at the hands of the barbarians. If you sincerely repent, you can avoid the death penalty. But the first evil must be eliminated." Walking into the hall, he looked at the officials and said, "Each of these two criminals can be killed and the official will be saved from reinstatement. Otherwise, he will die with him. How do you choose to decide yourself?"
