If there is not even a patriotic official in Yuezhou Prefecture and everyone is in a mess, that is the tragedy of the times and the tragedy of the nation!

Lin Yu knew that there was no shortage of leadership parties and traitors on this land, especially the two eras of the late Ming Dynasty and the Republic of China, which were the most prominent. But as long as there were still people who could maintain patriotism and indomitable heart, then this nation would still have hope!

Lin Yu was glad that when he felt sad and despair, the Jia Tui official stood up. Perhaps this dynasty is no longer saved, but at least this nation still has hope!

"The salary of the king should be rewarded. How can the subordinate officials dare to covet the position of prefect? ​​Liu Youde, Yao Xi and others colluded with the Tartars to murder Shangguan. Even if they were not strong enough, they would never sit idly by. Fortunately, the guards beside the governor were so fierce that they did not need help from the subordinates!"

Jia Tui Guan apologized in pain and asked again: "Didn't Governor Yuan be arrested by the left thief?"

Lin Yu smiled and said, "Don't worry, Governor Yuan and Governor He have escaped one after another. They have already gone to Changsha to raise troops. You must stay in the city and wait for reinforcements."

Jia Tuiguan burst into tears, and his excitement was beyond words, "It's really God's blessing, so Hunan is saved."

Lin Yu ordered Liu Youde to hand over the seal of the prefect, and then hand it over to Jia Tuiguan with both hands: "The prefect of Yuezhou, chief clerk, magistrate, colluded with Jiannu, and wanted to offer the city. This governor has taken them all, and now you are appointed as the prefect for the temporary position, and quickly stabilize the situation in the city."

"I will never let Governor Lin down!" Jia Yao took the seal and waved with both hands and swore loudly.

Lin Yu also said: "Yao Xi, the commander of Yuezhou Guard, and others, had an affair with the rebels, and set up an ambush in the prefect's office, intending to murder this governor, and he has put him on the spot to rectify the law. Prefect Jia can recommend one person to temporarily serve as the commander."

"Qianhu Qi Zhenguo is extremely brave, loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and has always been prestigious in the army. He was not valued because he refused to join Yao Xi and others. Now the commander and the co-master, and the deputy magistrate, has died, and the subordinate officials recommend Qi Qianhu to temporarily take charge of the Yuezhou Guards." Jia Yao bowed and recommended, with a righteous look on his face.

During the heyday of the Ming Dynasty, in addition to the commander, there were two co-ministers in one garrison and four co-ministers. However, with the abolition of the military household system, the military strength of each garrison was less than half of the original one, so most garrisons only had one co-minister and two co-ministers.

The commander of Yuezhou Guard, the co-magistrate, was killed at the same time. The remaining highest commander was another co-citizen, and there were several thousand households down. The qualifications of Qi Zhenguo were enough to convince the public.

A moment later, Qi Zhenguo, who was summoned, brought a hundred full-clothed confidants to the prefect's office to pay homage to Lin Yu: "There are thousands of households in Yuezhou, Qi Zhenguo, who is the governor."

Lin Yu ordered: "Yao Xi, Liu Ding and others had an affair with each other. He intended to take our governor hostage and surrender, but he was killed on the spot. This governor now appoints you to temporarily serve as the commander of Yuezhou Guard and assist the governor Jia in defending the city and protecting the people."

Qi Zhenguo was a rough man, and he held his fists and took the order: "I will follow the command of the governor, and I will live and die with Yuezhou. However, the other thousand households are Yao, and Liu's direct descendants may not be able to obey my orders."

"Have my Shangfang sword, and kill me if you don't obey!"

Lin Yu raised his hand and threw Shangfang's sword to Qi Zhenguo. "The 20,000 troops from this governor will arrive later. Open the city gate to welcome him, so as not to be mutinized by Yao and Liu's reign. In this chaotic era, you should use thunderbolts and traitors to kill me without mercy!"

After Qi Zhenguo left, Lin Yu ordered Jia Yao to take over the prefect's office and move Liu Youde's family out. He sent someone to clean up and buried the bodies and then held a banquet to gather the gentry in Yuezhou, and he wanted to "borrow grain" from them.

Everyone acted according to their own words and thoughts, and Yuezhou returned to peace after a brief panic.

Qi Zhenguo summoned the five hundred soldiers under his command to climb the east gate of Yuezhou, and with the Shangfang sword, he killed several Baihu and general flags who opposed him, and controlled the city gate.

When several other thousand households learned that Yao Xi and Liu Ding were killed, Qi Zhenguo was temporarily indignant and gathered more than a thousand men to rush to the East City Gate to besiege Qi Zhenguo. "What kind of virtue, thieves in Qi, you dare to kill your subordinates without permission and regard yourself as the commander of Yuezhou Guard?"

"Yao, Liu had an affair with Jiannu and colluded with Liu Youde to murder Shangguan, and was rectified on the spot. My commander was appointed by the governor of Fengyang, but he would be temporarily appointed. When the imperial court's appointment letter came out, Qi should give him the virtuous."

Qi Zhenguo's voice was like a bell, holding a Shangfang sword: "I have the Shangfang sword that Governor Lin lent me. Those who have the wrong intentions have the right to kill them!"

Several thousand households sneered: "Bah... what power does he, the governor of Fengyang, have to interfere in the personnel deployment of Yuezhou? I think he is planning to rebel, collude with you and Jia Yao, fabricate charges, and frame colleagues."

"Brothers, kill the Qi thief for me, and then capture the prefect's yamen, take down Lin Yu and Jia Yao, and pay tribute to Commander Yao's spirit in heaven!"

For a moment, the swords and swords were lit and the sound of killing was heard. More than a thousand officers and soldiers besieged Qi Zhen's troops, screams one after another, and people were constantly chopped down in a pool of blood.

At the critical moment, Hao Yaoqi led two brigades of troops to rush in. With the support of Gao Yigong, he quickly entered Yuezhou City, joined forces with Qi Zhenguo's troops to counterattack the troops of other Thousand Houses, and killed or captured several Thousand Houses one after another.

With the strong support of the Lin family army, the rebellion was quickly quelled. Qi Zhenguo controlled the Yuezhou Guard, selected several hundred households to be promoted to thousands, and redeployed the city defense.

According to statistics, more than 300 people died in this rebellion, including commanders, magistrates, assistant officials, and thousands of households, casting a shadow on Yuezhou City, which was already facing a great enemy.

The only thing that made the people glorious was that the Liu group, who was conspiring to surrender to Jiannu, was eliminated by Governor Lin with a thunderous force, and replaced Jia Tuiguan and Qi Qianhu, who were loyal to the Ming Dynasty, to defend the city. This was also a blessing in disgrace.

There are a total of 50,000 stones of grain stored in the Yuezhou granary, which is about 9 million kilograms before Lin Yu travels through.

The Qing army was about to cross the river to attack, and the defenders in the city must be prepared for a protracted war. Even if they knew they could not defend, Lin Yu must leave them enough food, otherwise they would collapse without fighting.

If you don’t even leave food for others, who will work hard for you?

According to the calculations of the 3,000 defenders, 2,000 auxiliary soldiers and 5,000 people in the city, it takes about 30,000 kilograms of food to be consumed a day, and 900,000 a month.

"Leave you food rations for Yuezhou for half a year, and take away the rest."

Lin Yu ordered Hao Yaoqi to leave 25,000 stones of grain for the prefect Jia, and transport the rest out of it to Jiugong Mountain to prepare to fight guerrilla warfare with the Qing army.

"I heard that the governor had incorporated Li Chuang's 80,000 troops and horses, and would consume more than 1,000 stones of grain on this day. I could not hold on for a month. The subordinates were so worried!" The prefect Jia shook his head and sighed, looking ashamed.

At this moment, Deng Yan, who was responsible for raiding the house, came to report: "Report to the Governor, the villain has raided Liu Youde, Yao Xi and others, and obtained a total of 37,000 taels of silver and 350 taels of gold."

Lin Yu nodded and said, "These dog officials are so fat that they are all handed over to Li Guo. The two division commanders of Gao Yigong were kept as military pay."
