"King Yi of Yuexi Gong Cao and Lu Shen, the magistrate of Anshang County, led the civil and military officials of the whole city to greet the king respectfully."
When Yang Qing saw all the officials bowing down, he immediately got off his horse and walked quickly in front of everyone. He raised his hands and said loudly: "You don't need to be polite, please get up quickly."
After saying that, he helped the two leading middle-aged men up: "Wang Gongcao and Magistrate Lu, thank you for your hard work. There is no need to be more polite."
Wang Yi stood up and looked at Yang Qing, secretly thinking that the new governor was really young, maybe he was as talented as the rumors?
He was full of doubts in his heart, but he did not dare to be scornful and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you are tired from traveling all the way. Please follow me to the city to rest."
Yang Qing also knew that this was not the place to talk, so he nodded: "That's fine, I'd like to ask Wang Gongcao and Magistrate Lu to lead the way. It won't be too late for us to talk after we enter the city."
After saying that, he turned back to Yang Xi and whispered softly: "Wen Ran, let everyone tidy up their clothes and cheer up, so that the people of Anshang can see the elegance of the elite of the imperial court."
Although Yang Qing said this softly, Lu Shen on the side still heard it. Just now, he only glanced at Yang Qing and his group before bending down and saluting, without taking a closer look at the guards led by Yang Qing.
At this time, when the eunuch heard the mention of elite soldiers, he couldn't help but turn around and look at the about 100 soldiers behind Yang Qing. He saw almost all of them tall and strong men, all of them wearing helmets and armor, holding sharp swords, standing on the spot with solemn expressions, as if He looks like a strong army.
Lu Shen was quite knowledgeable. He knew that these sergeants were indeed the elite of the army. He thought that Lord Yang Fu had brought a group of strong soldiers, but the number was smaller. After watching, he nuzzled his lips to Lei Xiong who was not far away, indicating that he also weighed the quality of this team of guards.
Lei Xiong nodded slightly in response. Although he was surprised by the physique of these sergeants, he was more curious about what the dozen or so carts in the queue of soldiers were escorting. What kind of precious treasure could it be under such strict guarding?
The group of people quickly returned to the city. A rammed earth city wall about ten feet high first appeared in Yang Qing's sight. The wall was covered with numerous potholes and gaps, which was obviously caused by the fierce battle not long ago.
Below the city is a moat about two feet wide. Since it is daytime, the suspension bridge in front of the city gate has not yet been pulled up. Yang Qing rode a horse and entered Anshang City surrounded by people.
The people in the city had learned of the arrival of the new governor, and gathered on both sides of the street to watch.
Anshang County was originally a large county with tens of thousands of registered residents. After the barbarian rebellion, a large number of people fled here from the south. This increased the population in the city, so at this moment the roads were lined with people.
They suffered from repeated wars and wars, and were eager to live a stable life as soon as possible. However, the imperial court had not sent a large army south to quell the rebellion, which made them suffer mentally.
Especially not long ago, the barbarians killed the prefect and attacked the county town, which made them less patient and even disappointed with the court.
Fortunately, the imperial court did not really give up on Nanzhong. Now Yang Qing, the new governor, led hundreds of elite soldiers brought from Chengdu to slowly walk on the streets. This finally made the people of Yuexi feel a little relieved, but they did not cheer for it. Greeting Yang Qing, the new governor, he just stared at him silently.
Yang Qing neither waved nor spoke while riding on the horse. He only showed a faint smile and glanced at the people on the left and right with a calm expression.
He saw the eyes of the people looking at him expectantly, but he had just arrived in the county and had not established any trust. If he made a promise at this moment, it would be nothing but empty words and could not convince the people. It would be better not to say a word, treat it calmly and say nothing. The city sergeants can feel the confidence from their own group.
Since Anshang is not the administrative seat of Yueqi County, there is no prefect's office in the city. The previous prefect Gong Lu worked in the county government office together with Lu Shen. The county officials were in the east courtyard of the county government office, and the county officials were in the east courtyard of the county government office. West Courtyard, so Yang Qing and his party were led to the East Courtyard for resettlement.
After taking a short rest, Yang Qing ordered all county and county officials to gather in the lobby. After the roll call, Yang Qing had roughly recognized the officials in the hall. Because it is a joint office of counties and counties, the people standing on Yang Qing's right are county officials, and the people standing on his left are county officials.
Most of the county officials were lost due to the war. Currently, the leader is Gong Cao Wang Yi, followed by Hu Cao Xie Ning, Bing Cao Huo Jian, Cang Cao Li Chang and others. Of course, there is also Qu Zhang Lei Xiong in this column. He was one of the dozen survivors in the last battle where the Yi soldiers attacked and killed Gong Lu.
At this moment, he had the highest military rank among the county soldiers in the city, so he stood behind Wang Yi. Of course, because Yang Qing and his party arrived soon, his military rank would no longer be the highest.
The county officials were naturally headed by the county magistrate Lu Shen, followed by the county captain Yin Qi, the county prime minister Qi Xiu, the chief registrar Jiao Sheng and others. Yang Qing looked at the longer queue on the left and thought that the county officials did suffer less damage than the county officials. He knew the reason.
A number of county officials were lost after the rebellion in Gaoding. Not long ago, the Yi people attacked and killed Gong Lu and attacked Anshang and lost several more. Of course, there are very few county officials left who moved to Anshang after the two wars. many.
"This is Yang Xi, Yang Wenran, the official in charge." Yang Qing saw that the introductions of the officials in the city had been completed, and it was time to introduce the team he had brought.
"This is Zhang Yi and Zhang Boqi." Yang Qing said to Lei Xiong: "Chief Lei Qu, Boqi has been appointed as Sima of another department. President of the army of this county. You must fully cooperate with Zhang Sima to take care of the army. thing."
"Promise, I will obey the Lord's order."
Lei Xiong's tone was slightly disappointed. Although he had known that the court had appointed a new Sima, he still felt unwilling to hear the prefect announce it in public.
He thought that after the former Sima Dong Huan and another commander Chen Song were killed in battle, as the highest-ranking military officer in the county soldiers, he would be promoted to Sima smoothly, but he did not expect that a man would be parachuted from Chengdu.
He was a little dissatisfied and made up his mind to see what Zhang Boqi was capable of.
Yang Qing could hear Lei Xiong's disappointed tone, but he didn't care. If Zhang Yi couldn't even be impressed by a music leader, there would be no need to want to become a famous general in the future.
With a slight smile in his heart, he pointed at Liu Yin and said to Lei Xiong: "This is Liu Yin and Liu Xiuran. He is here to succeed Chen Quchang who has died. From now on, you three will be the most important people in the county." General, you must unite and work together sincerely."
Hearing this, Zhang Yi and the others replied in unison: "Yes, the humble positions should live up to the expectations of the emperor."
Yang Qing pointed to Shen Da and Zhou Xing on the side and said: "Shen Da, Shen Botong, Zhou Xing and Zhou Demao. Shen Dan is a subordinate, and Zhou Xing is a subordinate. In the future, these two people will be responsible for the county government guards. Of course, the county must cooperate. "
"I've met you all."
"Nice to meet you all."
Lu Shen didn't care about Yang Qing's arrangement. It was most normal for the prefect's bodyguard to be handled by his subordinates, so he immediately agreed.
Seeing that everyone had been introduced, Yang Qing stood up and left his seat, went down to the hall, bowed to the officials in the city, and said: "You all fought bloody battles and defended the isolated city to secure the last piece of land in Yuesi County. A certain person in the imperial court here." Thank you everyone.”
Everyone did not expect that Yang Qing would act like this, so they quickly bowed down and returned the favor. As the highest-ranking official and the local magistrate, Lu Shen naturally had to speak out at this time.
"The Lord of the Palace has betrayed us. We are all people who have received the wealth of the Han Dynasty and the favor of the country. It is our duty to protect the country and the people and resist rebellion. How dare we say thank you?"
Although Lu Shen's words were modest, they were still quite touched by Yang Qing's actions as a prefect. Since the rebellion of Gaoding Yongkai and others, these county officials have more or less lost their relatives, teachers and friends. The court can see their sacrifices and the country will not forget their achievements and hardships. This will always make everyone feel a little bit. comfort.
Yang Qing gestured with his hands for everyone to stand up together, then turned around his seat. Looking at the expressions of the people below him, he felt that his actions had a certain effect. He thought that after the encouragement and caress, it was time to talk about the main topic.
