Chapter 1087: Success in the East and Success in the West (80)
When He Lanxiong saw Xiling City, the first thing he saw was the sea of people. Of course, these were not to resist his army, but to welcome him and the Han army back to Xiling City. Looking at that scene Some of the banners hanging on the city wall were still dripping with ink, obviously they had just been written, and I couldn't help but feel emotional.
These are not flattering actions made by the people of Daijun because of the arrival of the Han army, but a kind of love from the heart. In the past few years, Daijun has lived a comfortable life under the governance of Han officials. Daijun originally had a vast territory and fertile land. During the early years of Zilan's rule, it was constantly harassed by the Huns from outside and made things difficult for Zhao Wang Zhao Wuji at home. No matter how wise Zilan was and how hard she worked, it was hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. Naturally, it was impossible for the people of Daijun to live a good life, but under the rule of the Han Dynasty, taxes were light, labor was exempted, fields were distributed to households, roads and canals were built, industry and commerce were vigorously developed, and in a very short period of time , which greatly raised the living standards of Daijun people. In the following years, with steady progress, it can be said that sesame seeds are blooming steadily. The people are getting richer and richer, and their lives are getting better and better. Naturally, Then he supported Han rule more and more.
But just a few years after the good times, the Qin people suddenly came from Shanggu. This made the Daijun people hate Zhao Qi even more deeply than they did the Qin people. When the Qin people came, a hundred thousand troops wanted to eat and drink. Naturally, they asked the people of Daijun to ask for it. The wealth they had managed to save in the past few years suddenly became empty. And the heavy labor made the people of Daijun even more angry. You must know that during the rule of the Han Dynasty, no matter what The government pays for corvee labor. Now, let alone paying, it’s good to be able to save one’s life.
All the officials of the Han Dynasty were friendly to the people. As long as the people had any requests, these officials would go to the county government or go down to the village. They would go to the county government and go down to the village. They would run very fast and do things carefully. They would have to come back and visit afterward. The people knew very well that since then, After the Han Kingdom promulgated the law of the Great Council, officials below the county level can only serve for three years. After three years, they will be elected by all the people. Every Han citizen who is fourteen years old or older has one vote. Rights. In other words, we have the final say who becomes an official. Can the promulgation of this law prevent those officials from trying their best to please the people? In the eyes of the people, this is a very good thing. For generations, only the common people have tried to please the officials, so how can the officials please the people?
The happy life that the people longed for was shattered by the arrival of the Qin people. Overnight, they returned to more than ten years ago, and they were even more hopeless than then. What they looked forward to every day was that the Han army could fight back.
Unfortunately, the wise king of the Han Dynasty did not abandon them. In just over half a year, they saw the yellow dragon flag flying in the Han Dynasty again. When they saw the yellow dragon flag flying high in the wind, many people were even more excited. Haotao burst into tears. For most people, these six months may be just a moment, but for some people, it seems like a lifetime of suffering, because many of their relatives will never see the Huanglong flag again. The scene of returning to Xiling City.
"Welcome Master Wang!" I don't know who shouted loudly, and instantly there was a response like a roaring mountain and a tsunami. Countless people knelt on the ground. Above and below the city, on the fields and hillsides, all the people of Xiling City prostrated themselves before He Lanxiong.
He Lanxiong raised his eyebrows slightly and wanted to dismount his horse to avoid this great etiquette, but a civil servant accompanying him whispered: "Commander, you are now the representative of the King of Han. When they worship you, it means they worship the King of Han. You cannot avoid it." let!"
He Lanxiong exhaled, "They worshiped my big man's Yellow Dragon Flag instead of me. Someone, Zhi Daqi, come to the front."
"Obey the order!" Behind him, the flag bearer responded loudly, galloped forward, and raised the two-meter-wide and three-meter-long yellow dragon flag in his hand high.
"Long live the King of Han, long live, long live!" Cheers could be heard endlessly.
He Lanxiong rode into the city, went straight to the city tower, dismounted, and jumped onto the battlements. Behind him, on the main flagpole of the city gate tower, the Yellow Dragon Flag of the Han Kingdom was rising slowly.
"Fellows of Daijun, our Han army is back!" He Lanxiong raised his arms, exhaled, and roared with all his strength.
He was responded to by countless cheering crowds and waving arms below.
"In the past six months, everyone has suffered. Many people have lost their fortunes, many wives have been separated, and many families have been destroyed. No one will forget this, one by one. Our army of the Han Dynasty will not forget it, and our King of the Han Dynasty will not forget it." We will forget that one day, we will go to them one by one to settle the accounts and avenge everyone."
"Please, Your Majesty, make the decision for us!" Below, the people raised their arms and shouted.
He Lanxiong pressed his hands down, and the city gradually became quiet: "The King of Han regards all the people under his rule as his relatives. Anyone who dares to bully my Han people is bullying me, King of Han. We will never agree. Eat. What is ours, we will ask him to spit it out when the time comes, and what is taken from us, we will get it back tenfold. People of the Han Dynasty, do you have this determination?"
"have!"
"Warriors of the Han army, do you have this ambition?"
"have!"
"Okay, with the support of millions of people in Daijun and the determination of our Han army to fight, the day when Daijun will be prosperous is just around the corner. In the past six months, Daijun has suffered a lot of damage. Next, we have to do What we need is to rebuild our homeland. Comrades of Daijun and warriors of the army, let us wipe away the blood on our bodies, bury the bodies of the victims, hold our heads high, and move forward!" He Lanxiong roared loudly.
"Long live the great man, long live, long live!"
The common people who were inspired by He Lanxiong's success returned full of hope, but He Lanxiong, who arrived as the governor of Xilingcheng County, still had a lot of lawsuits on his head. The most serious thing was that there was a serious shortage of civil servants to govern the place.
"Are these people?" He Lanxiong looked at the Overwatch Council officials who had sneaked into the city in advance, and looked at the dozens of unrecognizable people being supported and carried by the soldiers with a dark look on their faces.
"That's all!" the Supervisory Council official whispered: "Because Zhao Yong surrendered, the list of all our officials stationed in Dai County fell into the hands of the Qin Army. The Qin Army arrested them on a large scale, and almost no one escaped. Most of them were killed by the Qin people to vent their anger after the news of Li Xin's defeat was brought back to Dai County. These dozen people were because of their higher positions. The Qin people and later the Zhao people wanted to torture more information from their mouths. I'm a big man, so I saved my life."
He Lanxiong scratched his head in distress, "Bian He, how many civilian personnel are there in our army?"
Ka He was the official who had previously reminded He Lanxiong that he did not have to evade the etiquette of Daijun people. He was He Lanxiong's clerical staff and was responsible for handling documents for He Lanxiong. When he heard He Lanxiong's question, he knew what He Lanxiong meant and shook his head, "Commander , although the civilian personnel in the army are also civilians, they have been in the army for a long time, and they are familiar with the same routines in the army. They are indeed beyond their capabilities in civil affairs above the local level. Besides, the laws of the Han Dynasty do not allow soldiers to do it. It's a small matter of involving local civil affairs. If we do this, the Great Council will definitely take this as an issue in the future."
"I don't care what the big council is, I can't leave this mess alone and do nothing, right?" He Lanxiong said angrily.
"Commander, even if you let them do it, they can't do it well!" Bian He spread his hands and said.
"Commander.!" A faint shout came from behind. He Lanxiong turned his head and saw the first one among the dozen or so people.
"The lower official is Daijun Sima Ouzhe. The lower official can still do things." He raised his head and looked at He Lanxiong and said.
"How can you do anything when you're like this? You should take good care of your injuries first, and keep the green hills there, so you don't have to worry about running out of firewood!" He Lanxiong sighed.
"As long as I have breath, as long as my mind is clear, I can do things." Ou Zhe said firmly: "I am Bo, the princess of Dai County. He Tianju congratulates your death. Among the civil officials of Dai County, I am the leader. , Commander, please give me some people who have some knowledge of writing, as long as they can read announcements."
"Is it really difficult for you?" Looking at the other party's firm eyes, He Lanxiong was also a little hesitant.
"Even if I am lying on the bed, my subordinates can still handle official duties. Even if they are exhausted, they will never complain." Ou Zhe said. Behind him, the dozen or so scarred officials also struggled to get rid of the support and lay on the bed. The man on the stretcher also sat up and said loudly: "Commander, my subordinates can still manage things."
Looking at these scarred officials who were still holding on, He Lanxiong's eyes were a little moist, "Okay, okay, the big man has officials like you who are loyal, not afraid of danger, and do not avoid death, so why not worry about it. Bian He."
"Here!" Bian He took a step forward, "You go and make arrangements. Each adult will be accompanied by me and a military doctor. We must ensure that every adult is in good health. In addition, those people that the adults need will also be provided by You are responsible for the arrangements. If you can’t find them in the army, you will go to the civilians to look for them. In short, at this time tomorrow, I want to see everyone in place!"
"Understood!" Bian He nodded vigorously, turned around and walked out of the lobby.
"My lords, you go to rest today first. A military doctor will come to treat you soon. If you want to be able to see things tomorrow, you must have a good sleep and a good meal today. When you are healed, , He Lanxiong is serving wine to celebrate your success!"
Seeing these officials leaving with the support of the soldiers, He Lanxiong took a deep breath. This is the strength of the strong man, but as long as he has one breath, he will never give up.
"Commander, good news, good news!" Outside, Helan ran in like the wind.
"What makes you so happy?" He Lanxiong asked, looking at the smile on his face.
"Zhao Yong, Zhao Yong was caught by us!" He Lanjie laughed loudly, "This bastard almost killed thousands of my officials in Dai County. I will definitely skin him this time!" (To be continued)
