Just when Gao Qiu was jumping up and down, operating everywhere, and wanted to take command to conquer Ohnozawa, an imperial edict from the court was delivered to Qingyang County.
In the critical situation where the entire Dongping Prefecture fell, Qingyang County was able to withstand the pressure, hold on for a long time, and save the last fig leaf for the imperial court, which can be said to have made a great contribution.
Therefore, Magistrate Sun was promoted.
He was promoted to the general magistrate of Dongping Prefecture, and his official position was promoted...
Level one!
Well, if you say it's a promotion, it's actually just painting a cake.
In the eyes of the imperial court, Dongping Mansion is still occupied by Onezawa's bandits. If Magistrate Sun wants to be the general judge of Dongping Mansion, he should lead his troops to recover Dongping Mansion first!
The former Huang Tongpan of Dongping Prefecture had already turned his back on the day when Onozawa bandits broke into the city.
Such a guy who is greedy for money, greedy again and again, finally took advantage of the bandits of Ohnozawa... Oh, he took advantage of Yun Chao, I don't know why.
Yun Chao was also promoted.
He served as the military supervisor of Dongping Mansion, replacing Dong Ping's position.
Just like the appointment of Magistrate Sun, it is also a painting.
Do you want to be a military supervisor?
If you want, you can do it yourself and drive away the Onezawa bandits entrenched in Dongping Mansion. The military supervisor is yours!
As soon as he received the edict, Magistrate Sun excitedly found Yun Chao.
"Yun Er... ahem, Brother Yun, it's settled now. When will we take office in Dongping Mansion?"
Yun Chao was holding the teacup, not even interested in looking at Magistrate Sun.
"Old Sun, Dongping Mansion is still in the hands of Onezawa's bandits. If you want to take office, go ahead and do it yourself. I will never stop you."
"you……"
Magistrate Sun was so angry that his beard stood straight up.
"Yun Er, what did you say before? As long as I cooperate well, I am guaranteed to be promoted and make a fortune. Now that I cooperate, even though I have not made a fortune, my official rank has been promoted. Why are you stopping me?"
Yun Chao took a sip of tea and said, "Old Sun, we must speak with conscience. When did I stop you? Didn't I already agree that you would take up the post in Dongping Mansion?"
"you……"
Not only did Magistrate Sun's beard stand up, but his hair almost stood on end with anger.
"Yun Er, you took it back to Dongping Mansion a long time ago, why don't you let me take up the post? Okay, okay, I promise, as long as you let me take up the post, I will cooperate with you well and let you be the military supervisor. How is the location?"
Yun Chao was very angry at Magistrate Sun.
"Old Sun, you are really a fan of officials. To tell you the truth, it's not the time to recapture Dongping Mansion yet. Do you believe it, if we recapture Dongping Mansion on the front foot, we will be in bad luck on the back foot?"
"this……"
Magistrate Sun wanted to ask why.
When the words reached his lips, he swallowed them back.
Because he knows the answer.
The reason why he was anxious just now was just because the official was confused.
"Old Sun, do you understand? The bandits that even the imperial envoys can't defeat were driven away by our two small county magistrates. This way, you lose the face of the big bosses. Do you think you will get something good to eat?" "
Magistrate Sun still wanted to save something: "Then...then if we defend Qingyang County, wouldn't it be tantamount to slapping the court boss in the face?"
Yun Chao glanced at Magistrate Sun with disdain: "Old Sun, I don't believe you can't imagine that guarding Qingyang County and regaining Dongping Mansion are the same concept?"
"this……"
Magistrate Sun was speechless. Of course he knew, but he was unwilling to do so.
It can be said that the defense of Qingyang County was the result of the united efforts and bloody battles of the entire Qingyang County.
Recovering Dongping Prefecture is different. Attacking the city and defending the city are two completely different concepts. The required troops and combat effectiveness are completely different!
"Then...then when can we go to Dongping Mansion to take office?"
Yun Chao smiled slightly: "Old Sun, don't be anxious. You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and you can't enter the bridal chamber in a hurry. Even if you do, it won't last long... Ahem, why am I telling you this? In short, you remember Just follow me and work hard, and I guarantee you won’t suffer any loss!”
"Okay, Yun Er, I'll believe you for once... Well, no, where do you come from with so many naughty words? Tell me, have you ever cheated on my daughter?"
…
The Onozawa bandit's vitality was seriously injured, and it was impossible for him to come to Dongping Mansion to cause trouble for the time being.
The imperial court is newly defeated, and it will take a long time to prepare for the re-deployment of troops.
As a result, Dongping Mansion entered a rare period of calm.
Yunchao seized the time and launched a vigorous large-scale production campaign!
This time, Yun Chao no longer has to worry about insufficient manpower.
There were nearly 100,000 civilians captured alone.
Although these are poor people, Yun Chao can't just let them go back.
One hundred thousand strong labor force is a wealth more precious than one hundred thousand stone of grain for Dongping Mansion, which is in need of revitalization.
What's more, even if Yun Chao is willing to let him go, there probably won't be many people who can return to his hometown.
How could the peasants walk such a long way home without anyone to provide them with supplies?
Unless Yun Chao is willing to give them money and food, if they are allowed to leave like this, not even a tenth of them will be able to return to their hometowns.
They either starved to death on the way, or were killed by bandits, or even became bandits themselves, causing harm to the people along the way.
What's more, even if Yunchao gives them money and food, the most likely thing is that they will be robbed halfway.
In order not to cause excessive killings, and to prevent the people along the way from being persecuted, Yun Chao had no choice but to act like a villain and temporarily detain these civilians and prevent them from leaving.
As for when can I leave?
Of course it was after Yunchao's territory expanded.
When Yun Chao's sphere of influence expands to the vicinity of their hometown, it will be time for them to return home and reunite.
However, Yun Chao did not treat these civilians badly.
In terms of food alone, it was much better than when they were civilian husbands.
Three meals a day and enough to eat every time. Such good treatment is impossible to get anywhere in the corvée service.
Therefore, the people's willingness to resist was not strong.
If they didn't miss their families, many of them would take the initiative to stay and work for Yun Chao!
Some poor people who have lost their families do not want to leave.
If one person has enough to eat and the whole family is not hungry, it is not a job to work anywhere.
Coupled with a powerful publicity campaign, it didn't take long for a group of die-hard fans of the Yun Family Army to emerge.
These men soon became managers, managing other civilian husbands.
With so much labor force, the several small mines in Dongping Prefecture have endless supply.
Most of the miners' quotas were reserved for landlords, bullies, corrupt officials, and captured soldiers.
The peasants mainly do the work of building roads, digging canals, and clearing wasteland for farming.
Not only the captured civilians were busy, but the people of Dongping Mansion were also busy.
Moreover, they are more motivated and more motivated than civilian husbands.
If you don’t contribute to building your hometown, who can you rely on?
Busy time always flies by.
Before you know it, Dongping Mansion’s annual summer harvest has begun.
This year's weather is good. Although it is somewhat late for spring, the reduction in grain production is not serious. Compared with normal times, the production is reduced by at most 10%.
Of course, this is the situation in other areas, excluding the territory controlled by the Yun Family Army!
