477: Conquering the refugees (1 more)
Cheng Qing acted in a full set of acting. She said she wanted to "discuss" with the Hong County Magistrate, so the Hong County Magistrate must cooperate with her.
Anyway, standing on the city wall, with his back facing away from the refugees, everyone couldn't see the face of the magistrate, so they saw a man in official uniform arguing with Cheng Qing, and Cheng Qing angrily scolded:
"...If you disagree, I can only take you down for these lives!"
While speaking, someone held the "county magistrate" down and tied it up.
Someone advised Cheng Qing that the magistrate was appointed by the court, so Lord Cheng should not be too impulsive. Cheng Qing said righteously: "If the court asks for crimes, all the responsibility will be borne by the official!"
The 'County Magistrate' was tied up and taken away.
Under the city wall, there were refugees crying in silence.
Lord Cheng has done too much to let everyone enter the city!
If this is not considered the Master Qingtian who loves people as much as his son, who deserves this title?
The real Hong County Magistrate was jammed and watched Cheng Qing act, sobbing and wanting to cry.
Cheng Qing tied up the magistrate as soon as he entered the city, and the magistrate was actually a little happy. Of course, it would be good that Cheng Qing was willing to take over Hong County, so he didn't have to let the magistrate take responsibility... But Cheng Qing suppressed him and even smeared him. The magistrate of Hong County felt extremely aggrieved.
I am just timid and have a little mediocre ability. I am really not so bad!
Rong Jiu was also on the city wall and was in trouble with the magistrate of Hong County. The two were tied up and blocked their hands and feet, so he naturally saw what Cheng Qing did.
In order to conquer refugees, Cheng Qing did this by doing anything!
Rong Jiu didn't care about sympathizing with the magistrate of Hong County. He was indignant of Cheng Qing's shamelessness and worried. He didn't know how Cheng Qing took away the jade pendant from him and would deceive the Governor's Office when he arrived in Huai'an City.
Is Lord Shi prepared for the 50,000 Long Scarf Thieves to attack Huai'an City?
While Rong Jiu hated Cheng Qing, he also hoped that Cheng Qing could really deliver the news to Huai'an City in time.
As for defending Hong County, it depends on the original troops of Hong County and the refugees outside the city. Rong Jiu did not give up too much hope.
Only when Huaian City is defended can the Governor's Office make a difference to save him. Rong Jiugeng believes in his sister Rong Yuniang!
Cheng Qing performed this, and the refugees witnessed with their own eyes how much sacrifice Cheng Qing made to let them go to the city, and were grateful to Cheng Qing.
After escaping from Huainan, the numbness and despair arises from the hardships along the way, suffering from indifference in human relationships, hunger, and separation from life and death, was relieved most of the time.
Life is hard, but the refugees cherish it particularly.
At least Lord Cheng did not give up on them...
Now, whatever Cheng Qing asked the refugees to do, they would do whatever they wanted.
One or two thousand people, no one chose to leave Hong County with twenty kilograms of grain.
With hope, the refugees became polite. He Wan scooped porridge for them. A refugee thanked him and apologized again: "Yes, I'm sorry..."
This is an apology for detaining He Wan before and preventing him from entering the city.
He Wan smiled, "Drink porridge, fill your stomach, so that everyone can have the strength to do something else."
Rong Jiu looked at what Cheng Qing and He Wan did to win the hearts of the people, and he felt that these two were worthy of being an unmarried couple, and they were disgustingly hypocritical.
Cheng Qing could guess what this guy was thinking as soon as he looked at him.
If she hadn't kept as a hostage, she would have been too lazy to tie Rong Jiu even to tie Rong Jiu, so she would have let the long scarf thief kill Rong Jiu long ago.
"Who did you show your disdainful look? Do you still have the face of disdain?"
"If I were you, I would have been ashamed to jump off the wall."
Cheng Qing was still not satisfied with cursing, and he held Rong Jiu's head down like he was dragging a livestock. "Let's open your dog's eyes and see, this is one or two thousand lives. No matter how hypocritical I am, at least trying to save them, what about you? I was afraid of death, so I led the long scarf thief to Hong County. The wine and meat smelled smelly, and the road was frozen to death. When you poured food to the side of the road, did you think about how many refugees could survive... Forget it, I told you that these were playing the piano against a cow."
A rich and wealthy child who has a wealth of food and food has never been frozen or hungry, and will not have empathy for refugees.
Cheng Qing let go of his hand and threw Rongjiu down, and asked someone to take the magistrate of Hongxian back to the county government to be detained. As for Rongjiu, he would temporarily throw it on the city wall.
"If the Long Scarf Thieves attack Hong County, they will be the first to throw him down!"
Cheng Qing ignored Rong Jiu's indignant gaze. She had more things to do.
After all the refugees outside the city had finished drinking the porridge, Feng Dianshi and the yamen runners from Hong County arranged all the trivial matters of the refugees entering the city, disinfected the lime powder, soaked in the medicinal bath, threw away the original torn clothes on their bodies, and changed into slightly clean clothes.
The clothes were raised by Feng Dianshi from wealthy families in Hong County. They were all old clothes, worn by the rich families, but they were better than the stinky torn clothes on the refugees.
Cheng Qing said that if there was an epidemic, the ragged clothes worn by the refugees could not be taken, and they were all piled up and burned.
Li Baihu accompanied Lang Qianhu from Qianhu Station of Hong County to the gate of the county town, and saw a raging fire.
The Great Wei Dynasty's garrison system was called "Gui". There were more than 5,000 guard soldiers in each prefecture, and at least one guard soldier was stationed in each prefecture.
The counties below the prefecture can guarantee the "house", called the Thousand Houses, with a rated soldier of 1,120.
The garrison stationed in various parts of the Great Wei Dynasty and had to fight wars during wars. If they did not fight, they were responsible for local public security.
Cheng Qing learned from Feng Dianshi that the Qianhu Office in Hong County had not been dispatched to wipe out the Changguo Thief, so he was overjoyed and immediately sent Li Baihu to invite him.
Seeing Li Baihu accompanying a black-faced military officer back to the city, Cheng Qing immediately got off the city wall.
"This is Lang Qianhu, right?"
Lang Qianhu jumped off his horse: "See Lord of the Process."
"Qianhu" is a fifth-rank military officer, half a rank higher than the lecturer of the Hanlin Academy, but the literary nobles and martial arts are inferior, so the Lang Qianhu dare not claim to be an official.
Cheng Qing was also very polite to Lang Qianhu. She also hoped that Lang Qianhu would defend the city - Cheng Qing could tie up the magistrate of Hong County to take over Hong County. Without the magistrate, the county town would still be able to operate, but she could not tie up Lang Qianhu to take over the magistrate himself.
Cheng Qing doesn't understand the matter of using military force. If an outsider forces his command, everyone will be done together.
Therefore, when Cheng Qing saw Lang Qianhu, he directly told the story of the Changshaw Thief going to attack Huai'an City. Lang Qianhu looked quite calm, "Li Baihu had already explained the situation that Lord Cheng said on the way here. Now Lord Cheng means to defend Hong County?"
If the Huaian City captured by the Long Scarf Thief, it will not be reversed in the short term.
But if the Changwu Thief attacks Huai'an City and is defeated and returned to his nest, 700 to 80% of them may have to pass through Hong County.
Cheng Qing got the news so early, and it was too late to leave Hong County with the grain transport team early. Unexpectedly, Cheng Qing was willing to stay in Hong County to fight against the enemy.
This Mr. Cheng looks thin and has a strong character.
However, Lang Qianhu was still worried. Some things did not result in good results by virtue of character. Lang Qianhu had to try Cheng Qing's skills.
It just so happened that Cheng Qing also wanted to know the reality of Qianhuyuan. The meeting between the two hit it off. Cheng Qing immediately took Lang Qianhu around the city wall of Hong County. Both of them were smart people. Whether Hong County can defend it depends on the situation of the city wall.
