If we can really provide clues, it will be a great achievement for the chief. It's just that things were so unbelievable that Guo Xier couldn't help but feel a little suspicious. I remembered that the veteran who taught safety classes during the training had said that we should be on guard against the natives using certain excuses to approach the chief and wait for an opportunity to assassinate him.
Seemingly sensing Guo Xi'er's thoughts, the Miss Dong family said: "Don't be afraid, girl. I am not someone willing to risk my life as an assassin. If I were willing to die, I would have committed suicide early in the morning. Since I refused to die in the first place, I will not do it now." He will die. If you are still worried, the lady will send a few capable maids to search the servant carefully. "
Guo Xier thought to herself that this woman had such a loud tone. She doesn't look like an ordinary official lady. He said, "Miss Dong, the leader is busy talking to people. I will report back when I have time."
The girl bent down again, gathered her knickers, and said, "Thank you, Miss...you have a bodhisattva heart...my name is Dong Mingxuan. You can call me Mingxuan from now on."
Liu Xiang and Lu Yizhong talked for more than an hour, and Lu Yizhong resigned with satisfaction - regardless of whether Liu Xiang would adopt his suggestions or not, he still relied heavily on him. Under the rule of the Song Dynasty Senate, his future will not be too bad.
Liu Xiang was much more entangled. Jin gentry and old intellectuals were an important issue they had to face. Although the Senate's overall authorization is quite loose - both he and Wen Desi have almost full power in the area of local administrative leadership, but this does not mean that he can completely follow his own ideas. If something goes wrong, it's like climbing high and falling hard.
After seeing Lu Yizhong off, Liu Xiang felt a little confused and went out for a walk. The yard was already bustling with activity. Nationalist soldiers were cleaning the house, and piles of junk were being cleared out from everywhere. Staff from the Planning Institute were counting and cataloging the "useless" furniture and furnishings one by one and moving them to the house. Temporarily stored in the warehouse; health workers carry large buckets of disinfectant. Several naturalized workers tore off the wrapping paper and hung wooden signs with black characters on the white ground at the door of each room. Someone else brought furniture such as desks, chairs, and double-decker iron beds in from outside the door. The originally solemn and almost suffocating government office was like a beehive, bustling with people. Full of energy and vitality.
The person in charge in this hustle and bustle was Wang Sangou, the general affairs section chief of the municipal office. He was wearing a new blue uniform of a naturalized citizen. He is in his early sixties this year. It was considered a long life in the 17th century. After immigrating from Baitu Village, he changed his name: "dog" to "gou", and was assigned to do odd jobs in the office - he was born a slave, suffered great hatred, and spent his whole life as a bachelor, without any hope. No children, no worries. He is someone whom the office considers reliable.
Having worked in the general office for many years, Wang Sangou has always been single-minded and conscientious. Compared to the days when he was a slave to the Lin family in Baitu Village, the general office was like heaven. He didn't think much about it. The office is his home. The more he worked, the more energetic he became, and the younger he got, the younger he became. An illiterate person who was originally illiterate also took the C diploma. This time the Guangdong strategy required a large number of cadres. Although Wang Sangou was older, he was promoted to deputy chief of the General Affairs Section of the Guangzhou Municipal Government, responsible for general affairs. At this time, he was beaming with joy, shouting and waving his hands. Seeing Liu Xiang coming out, he quickly went to greet him and said, "Chief, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
Liu Xiang was stunned: "What's the matter?"
"List it!" Wang Sangou said happily. "We, the Senate of the Song Dynasty, have regained Guangzhou, so there must be etiquette when hanging up this sign."
Liu Xiang thought to himself, is there an unveiling ceremony? Just as he was thinking about it, he was already surrounded by Wang Sangou and others and came to the eight-character wall of the government office. Many people have gathered outside the government office. The cadres of the National Army and naturalized civilians were all beaming with joy, and Guangzhou citizens gathered outside the cordon. The panic caused by the overnight change has disappeared under the calm and peaceful takeover. Now, they are eager to see what this "Australian" and "thieves" who have "long admired the name" look like.
As for the living Australians in the city, everyone only knows Guo Dongzhu, but Guo Dongzhu looks no different from the wealthy businessmen of the Ming Dynasty. When Guangzhou was besieged, he bravely slipped up to the city wall and looked at the "Great Song Navy" below the city. He only saw many soldiers in gray and blue clothes, but not a single serious "Zhenkun".
I saw a man being surrounded by people coming out of the gate. It looks like he is probably Zhenkun. I saw that he was only in his thirties and had a dark complexion. He has a lean body and wears nothing more than a thick short coat with a double breast. The style is the same as the surrounding "fake kun", but the material is stiffer. Everyone couldn't help but be disappointed - the uniforms of the Song Dynasty were really shabby.
Little did Liu Xiang know that the crowd was worried. Wang Sangou asked him to say a few words, but Liu Xiang was not prepared. Someone dragged a packing box over, so he stood up, glanced at the people in front of the gate, and said loudly : "Comrades, fellow citizens of Guangzhou! Today is the day when the Guangzhou Special City Military Control Commission of our Senate was established. From today on, Guangzhou, this famous city for thousands of years, returns to the hands of our Senate of the Song Dynasty! Together we will Work hard to rebuild a prosperous, hygienic and civilized new Guangzhou here, and use this as a starting point to rebuild China!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Sangou lit a 10,000-word whip. Amidst the crackling sound of firecrackers, two naturalized citizens hung a wooden sign with the words "Guangzhou Special City Government" in black and white at the gate. . The naturalized citizens and the soldiers of the National Army clapped their hands together, especially the naturalized people from Lingao, who were extremely excited. Wang Sangou was so happy that he didn't know what to say. He remembered that he had been wandering all his life, a lonely man without a wife or children, and was only taken in by the Senate in his later years. From then on, he realized what it was like to be a human being. At this moment, when he saw the senator standing in front of the government office in Guangzhou and hanging the sign, he burst into tears with excitement and couldn't help but raise his arms and shout: "Long live the Senate!"
Following his shout, the naturalized citizens and soldiers shouted together: "Long live the Senate!" Countless rifles with bayonets were raised high like a forest.
The shouts of "Long Live" were like a tide, spreading out from the center of Guangzhou in waves, slapping the entire city.
In a house in the city, the slogans like a roaring mountain and a tsunami were also vaguely heard. Several men who were having a banquet stopped their wine glasses and listened to the vague roar. The courtyard was silent. Deadly quiet.
The cheers and slogans disappeared in the air for a long time, and a young man in his thirties sighed slightly: "I didn't expect that today would happen! The iron of Jiuzhou cannot make such a mistake!"
His voice was very sad. The people next to him couldn't help but feel pity.
Another person advised: "Young Master Liang, there is no need to blame yourself. The princes in the court and the officials in Guangdong are all to blame for the thief's existence..."
The person who said "Iron of Kyushu" was Liang Cunhou. The young man from this aristocratic family has no intention of achieving fame, so he spends his time at home all year round in the name of serving the emperor. Live a low-key, secretive and luxurious life.
Liang Cunhou said: "That's what I say, but when the Kun thieves first came to Guangzhou, I was deceived by them and actually became their accomplice! Otherwise, how could they gain a foothold in Guangzhou! How could they escape from Guangzhou? Recruit so many exiled people and gather them into an army!"
The person who tried to persuade him was none other than Lin Zunxiu. He said: "Master Liang, the thief Kun has this old thief Gao Zhi as his citation, and the old thief Gao has Eunuch Yang as his backer. What's the use of seeing through their true colors? There are so many conveniences in the world. He is a person who is greedy for profit!"javascript:
Liang Cunhou was silent and silently drank the wine in the glass. It was not like the spring flowers in Yangcheng, but more like a cup of bitter wine.
Huang Huangkun on the side couldn't help but said: "Kun thieves are not only the best at deceiving the world and stealing names, but they are also used to confuse people's hearts. They play with the common people in the palm of their hands. I'm afraid that it won't take long for Guangzhou City to become like Lingao and no longer the Ming Dynasty. The king’s land!”
Liang Cunhou said: "The Kun thieves only entered Guangzhou City and don't know about other states and counties..."
Lin Zunxiu shook his head and said: "How many people can there be in the prefecture and county? The thieves entered the city through the Dadong Gate. There was no response from the guerrilla training camp outside the city. I want to come, I want to come..."
Everyone in Guangzhou understood what he didn't say. Yesterday, there was not a single cannon shot or a cry of death in Guangzhou. When he woke up, the king's flag was changing on the city wall. Needless to say, these officers and soldiers have surrendered to the bandits.
"Not one of them is a man!" Liang Cunhou shook his head sadly.
"The Kun bandits have been operating in Guangzhou for a long time. This big world is built outside the Dadongmen. It is less than two quarters of an hour away from Dongguanxiang! When they first invaded the province, the power of the river is still there. The officers and soldiers were afraid of the Kun bandits' ships and cannons as powerful as tigers. Lin Zunxiu said, "Even if the officers and soldiers dare to fight, how long can they survive under their hands?"
Liang Cunhou fell into silence again. He realized that Lin Zunxiu's words were right. The fighting spirit of the officers and soldiers would not change the outcome of the fall of Guangzhou. In fact, it can be seen from the battle of Shenghe that Guangzhou is just a ripe fruit, and the thieves can eat it whenever they want.
"I wonder if Xiong Zhijun is aware of it," Huang Hankun said, "We should try to inform him to prepare early."
"Xiong Zhijun likes recruiting the most. I think it will be difficult for him to organize the army and prepare for war." Liang Cunhou was a little worried.
"Zhaoqing is an important pass between two provinces, and the terrain is dangerous. It has the advantage of a small Three Gorges. If preparations can be made in advance, the bandits may not be able to invade Zhaoqing. If Zhaoqing is not lost, western Guangdong will not be lost, and there will be room for recovery in the future. ." Lin Zunxiu talked eloquently, "There are also men and horses from Nan'ao Deputy Town in eastern Guangdong. When the troops are strong and the pay is sufficient, the east and west routes can coordinate with each other to attack the bandits."
"I am not talented, I would like to go to Zhaoqing and report to Governor Xiong!" Huang Hankun said decisively.
It is meaningless for him to stay here. If he wants to continue to compromise under the rule of the thief, then he can just stay in Lingao, why come here! (To be continued.)
