Changshan Prefecture is the capital city of Yanyun County and the cultural and economic center of Yanyun County.
To the north is the Bailongjiang River, the largest river in the north, to the west is the most excellent downwind port in Da Zhou, and to the south is the Yanyun Mountains. The transportation is extremely convenient and the economy is the most developed.
The reason why Wu Luolan did not destroy this place was because when she came to the city, the prefect Liu Congshu and the local guard Feng Tianlong did not offer any resistance at all. They directly opened the city gate and led the officials and people to surrender.
He also sorted out the household register, granary and bank account and dedicated them to her.
No matter what you want us to do, little Prince Moro, we will listen to you, but I only ask you one thing, don't harass our people.
Uluolan readily agreed, and other than pocketing all the silver in the bank, he did not engage in any other form of plunder.
There is another important reason for this, and that is that the Russians in Shunfeng Port put a lot of pressure on her, warning her that there are many Russian businessmen and their families here. If you dare to do anything wrong, then don't blame us. You're welcome!
Speaking of which, I have to thank the Russians.
Chen Jisheng directly led his troops to the Yamen of the state government and summoned all the officials to line up in the hall, with swordsmen and axemen on both sides waiting!
He asked everyone with a cold face if they knew the crime?
"Master Chen, I am guilty!" Liu Congshu, the state official, came out and knelt on the ground. He was about forty years old, with a dark complexion and a haggard appearance. He knelt on his knees and raised his upper body, looking very calm.
"Master Chen, I have also confessed my guilt." A bearded general also came out and knelt behind Liu Congshu. He was guarding Feng Tianlong.
"Oh? You actually know your crime?" Chen Jisheng sneered, "Then let me ask you, as an official of the imperial court, if the enemy attacks, open the city gates and surrender to the enemy without any resistance, what kind of crime is it?"
So why bother asking?
Of course it's a capital crime.
"Sir Chen, although it is a capital crime to be dismissed from an official position, I am willing to die! But at that time, there were only 500 soldiers guarding the city in my city, but Prince Moro personally led 10,000 cavalry to attack. May I ask, Mr. Chen, what would be the consequences if we resisted desperately? "Liu Congshu knew that he was going to die, so he simply said it happily before he died.
"Of course the city will be destroyed and people will die! We are officials of the imperial court, and one death is not a pity, but why do the people in the city have to die? The Xianbo people had declared before attacking the city that if they persisted in resisting, there would be a mass killing after the city was broken. If you surrender, you can save the lives of all the people in my city, and I don’t want to kill all the people in this city just for the sake of fame!”
"Master Chen, you are a good and upright official. That's why Master Liu and I dare to tell you a few words from our hearts. Otherwise, we will not come to see you and commit suicide at home! I only have 500 soldiers in my hands. , No matter what, they can't stop the Xianbo's ten thousand tigers and wolves, even if they all die in battle, it will not help, it will only bring disaster to the common people!" Feng Tianlong said.
"Master Chen, this matter is entirely my idea. I ordered Feng Shoubei not to resist, and it has nothing to do with these colleagues. Please don't embarrass them, Master Chen. I am responsible for all the crimes." I am willing to bear the responsibility, whether it is cut in half, whether it is Ling Chi, or I am demoted!" Liu Cong recounted.
"Master Chen, in fact, when the Xianbo cavalry first invaded the country, Master Liu and I both sent people to the imperial court to ask for help. We sent more than a dozen urgent documents! But the emperor did not send us a single soldier. One pawn, just let us serve the country with our lives... Hahaha!" Feng Tianlong sneered.
"No one wants to come to this place in Yanyun County. The reason why Xiaguan and others are here is because we are all officials from the previous dynasty of the Han Dynasty and have no choice at all! As for how Da Zhou treated us Yanyun officials and people Yes, I can’t finish it in just a few words, but in short, I, Liu Congshu, would rather die for the people than die for the Zhou Kingdom!”
Liu Congshu also had a death wish, so he dared to say anything.
"Bold Liu Congshu! He actually despised the court and slandered the king. It is really a great crime. I am so angry!" Chen Jisheng stood up and said, "Come here! Take off his official hat, demote him to three levels, and fine him another three years of salary." !”
"Yes!" The soldiers on both sides agreed loudly, swarmed forward, first took off Liu Congshu's official hat, and then they were all stunned on the spot...
What did Master Chen say just now?
It seems like you didn’t say you were going to kill him, right?
Liu Congshu also looked confused. Seeing Master Chen furious, he must have cut himself into pieces!
But what does he mean by being demoted to three levels and fined three years' salary?
Feng Tianlong couldn't help but wonder when he heard this. Could it be that Mr. Chen had contracted some cold on the road and was suffering from a fever?
Otherwise, how could he be talking nonsense?
And what Chen Jisheng said next was even more difficult for him to understand.
"This Feng Tianlong's crime is unforgivable. Come on, please push me down and give me another fifty blows... Thirty, maybe... Forget it, I'll give you ten blows. Don't hit me in public, and don't take off your clothes. He should save some dignity... Come on, let's just send these ten boards, send him to..., send him to serve in Lin Yue's army!"
"Everyone, I won't punish you for now, just get out and do your work!" Chen Jisheng's anger was still lingering, and he waved his hands and kicked out all the officials in the hall.
Isn’t this the end?
"Master Chen..." Liu Congshu was the monk of Zhang Er and was confused.
"I am so old, and I have been so tired all the way. As the official of Changshan Prefecture, are you ready for me? In addition, a thousand soldiers led by General Lin Yue are still waiting outside the city. Their mouths are hot and they have no food to eat, do you want them to sleep in the open and freeze to death?" Chen Jisheng said with a dark face.
"Ah? This, this... I'll lower my rank..." Liu Congshu was eloquent just now, but now he was stuttering in shock.
"Why can't you even do this? Then what use do I need from you!" Chen Jisheng said angrily.
"I'll go make arrangements now!" Liu Congshu finally came to his senses. It turned out that Mr. Chen didn't want to kill him at all.
But why?
Logically, they should be killed, and the whole family should be killed.
If I knew that Mr. Chen would not kill me, then I would not have had to let my wife and children flee to Shunfeng Port in advance...
"Master Chen, shall I go there too? I have a lot of military supplies hidden outside. There are five hundred cowhide tents alone. They are brand new and have not been used. They are just for the brothers..." Feng Tianlong's head also It's starting to turn a corner.
"Go." Chen Jisheng couldn't help but smile.
"Yes! General Lin, please... A batch of seafood has just been shipped from Shunfeng Port. Let's arrange it for the brothers. I wonder if you guys are used to eating it?" Feng Tianlong jumped up and respectfully asked his superior, Lin Yuexian. please.
Just after escaping death, I fell right into the role.
"These two are quite interesting." Ye Baiqing said with a smile.
"Well, the hearts of the people of Yanyun County can be used, and the hearts of the officials can also be used. I'm afraid there are not a few officials like Liu Congshu. As long as we give a little guidance, they can be used by me in the future..." Chen Jisheng stroked his beard and smiled.
It feels like everything is fine with the current situation.
