Chapter 303 Looking at Luoyang (Part 1)

Mengjin Port

At this early morning, the sun was gradually moving, but there was still a sound of killing in the harbor.

A Hu general was roaring: "Kill, kill them all without leaving them!"

The attack in the middle of the night and immediately broke through the port, but now the group of ants dare not surrender, and the Hu people are very murderous.

"Kill!" Thousands of Hu people were chopping and slaughtering, and batches of people kept falling down, causing the entire port to fall into horror. Hu generals rode on their horses and scanned the surrounding situation, very satisfied: "These Han people, don't take prisoners, kill them all! Also, don't set fires, whoever set fires kills them."

This is because Mengjin Port is not far from Luoyang, and if you set fire, you will definitely find something strange in Luoyang.

This will look at the left and right again: "Go back and report to Your Highness, and say that Mengjin Port has been seized and you can come here, and you can transport the ferry here back."

The ferry boats in the two ports can carry 5,000 people and 30,000 cavalry at one time, only six times.

"Long live!" The Hu people also have long live Chinese words, and the shouts are filled with excitement.

Jiyang County

After the city was broken, the situation in the city stabilized on the third day.

Lu Gao could not relax. Although Jiyang County City was pacified by the Dacheng Army, there were still some hidden dangers under the stable appearance of the prefectures and counties captured.

In the morning, Lu Gao received the latest information.

"Gunzhou is pacified!" Lu Gao felt an indescribable feeling in his heart as he read the military newspaper.

I worked hard in Youzhou for more than ten years and only half of it was settled. Now, Gunzhou has been settled in less than half a year, and it is another state with a population of three million.

...I finally got some achievements and I must have rewards after I settled the two counties. However, the heavenly mind was unpredictable, so I just didn't think much about it. I focused for a moment and then got up.

In order to calm the people's hearts, after the city was broken, the army first maintained order in the city, and sent invitations to the wealthy families in the county, inviting them to come to the county town to attend the banquet.

The place where the banquet was held was the county magistrate's mansion with a faint smell of blood.

There are two flower trees at the entrance of a yard. At this time, pink flowers are blooming everywhere. The fragrance is elegant. When the breeze blows gently, a faint fragrance rushes towards you.

Lu Gao didn't care. Even if he lowered his voice, he could still hear a large number of people.

At this time, two officials stepped forward to attend the ceremony.

Lu Gao looked at it and said that it was the county magistrate Jin Jicheng, and there was another one who was a little unfamiliar with him. He smiled and said, "It turns out that it is Lord Jin. You and our army are divided into politics, so you dare not be too polite."

Jin Jicheng smiled and said, "The officials dare not! Although the Dacheng Dynasty ruled the military and political division, there are still divisions between superiors and subordinates. The Grand Marshal is a third-rank general. Even if the officials can guarantee the original official position, he is only a fifth-rank. How dare you be arrogant in front of you?"

Lu Gao smiled and spoke in the spring breeze: "Today, the squire and scholars gathered together. Just talk about the meaning of the official position, please be less etiquette and more harmonious."

Jin Jicheng had a deep personality. After hearing this, he praised in his heart and bowed and said, "Yes, the official has received it."

After saying that, several people entered together, went outside the banquet hall, at the door, and watched the situation inside.

This hall can accommodate at least a hundred people, but there are thirty or forty people, all sitting in the seats, whispering in groups of three or three.

They were dressed formally and solemnly, and it was obvious that they did not dare to be careless for this banquet. Although a group of people were talking, their expressions were uneasy.

Seeing this, Lu Gao winked, and someone understood it and said, "The army gate is here-"

The hall, which had originally had a buzzing sound, suddenly became quiet.

Everyone looked at the door of the hall. Under everyone's attention, Lu Gao walked into the hall with a heroic look, followed by Jin Jicheng.

"I've seen Lu Junmen!" Everyone stood up and saluted and said together.

"You don't have to be polite, please take a seat!" Lu Gao sat down in the head seat that had been prepared long ago, and said with a smile. Everyone sat down again in a nervous mood, and the atmosphere was a little depressed for a moment.

"Everyone, some are from the city, some are from afar. No matter what, you are all here!" Lu Gao said calmly.

"What I want to say today is two things. The first is that I just received a military report. The emperor's dragon lord arrived in Chenliu. Chenliu had not passed a night and opened the city to welcome him. Now it has been pacified."

As soon as he said this, everyone below had a stir, which means that the entire Gunzhou was pacified.

Don’t underestimate this. If Gunzhou still has county resistance, many people psychologically think that Gunzhou has not yet reached the end. However, once it is settled, people’s hearts will not find a place to rely on and have to admit reality. This has a great deterrent effect on solid rule.

Lu Gao looked at it with a smile, his eyes swept over, and the discussion below gradually calmed down and he looked upwards.

"The second thing is that the law is the law, and the civil and military division is divided. Although it is military management now, the government affairs still need to be managed by the prefect. Lord Jin abandons the darkness and turns to the light at the critical moment. The emperor must consider it. Lord Jin still needs to take charge of civil affairs, manage the county clearly, and restore the government. This requires everyone to cooperate."

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other. At this time, an old man came out. The man's white beard trembled, his voice trembled a little: "Mr. Jin has a good rule of law and everyone respects it. Although I am old, I am willing to contribute to the restoration of the government of Master Jin."

With the beginning, everyone responded.

Jin Jicheng first listened intently, then stood up, saluted Lu Gao, and bowed to the lower level, saying seriously: "The world has been in turmoil for a hundred years. Now the emperor has swept away the smell of meat and fish. Now pacify Gunzhou and restore stability. This is a great grace. We cannot be confused. We must manage this place in an orderly manner to repay the emperor's great kindness!"

Lu Gao showed a little joy and said, "Mr. Jin said it well, that's what he must do to repay you."

It was also a small achievement to quickly pacify the county government.

Chenliu County, County Magistrate's Office, Study Room

"I am Zhao Yuanjing paying homage to the emperor!" Zhao Yuanjing stepped in carefully and kowtowed on the ground. When Wang Hongyi saw it, he raised his hand to signal Zhao Yuanjing to get up.

After thanking for grace, Zhao Yuanjing stood up and saw Wang Hongyi sitting behind the desk. Zhang Youzhi and Yu Liangbo were both there, so Wang Hongyi continued to speak.

"Guanzhou is pacified. Yu Qing, don't go back to Jinling. You can directly remove the official positions of the six ministries and serve as the governor of this Gunzhou Province. This Gunzhou is a major province, with government affairs, finances, river affairs, household affairs, and land, all major matters. You need to take charge of it and quickly govern the province. The cabinet and the court will send and dispatch officials to cooperate."

Speaking of this, Wang Hongyi smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "The provinces and states have expanded too quickly and cannot mention suitable provincial officials for a while. This is also a joke for this dynasty."

Zhang Youzhi bowed at the seat and said, "Emperor, there are still some problems in front of him. The emperor is brave and powerful. He raised troops for fifteen years and was king for twenty years. In the past, it has only been eight years. The state system has only been in the county and county for three years, not in the provinces and ministries, so he has been in many ways. The emperor waits for another three years and will be trained. There will be no difficulties in the present."

"That's been the fourth year of Hongwu." Wang Hongyi smiled after hearing this: "Now we can only try our best to mediate and have to promote it out of order."

As he said that, Wang Hongyi raised his glass to drink tea. When Zhao Yuanjing saw it, he hurriedly stepped forward to hold a pot and replenish the water. There was no room for slaves to appear in this situation, so he had to let Zhao Yuanjing, the youngest official, do this.

When Wang Hongyi saw this, he took a sip of tea and said to Zhao Yuanjing: "That's it, write to me the decree of Yu Liangbo and Lu Gao's decree - Lu Gao is temporarily appointed as the governor of Gunzhou."

"Yes!" Zhao Yuanjing stood up, bowed to agree, and wrote the imperial edict in his pen before the case. Zhao Yuanjing was very old and familiar with this matter. He first pondered for a moment, and then he waved it in a blink of an eye.

After writing, he presented it to Wang Hongyi. Even if there is a word of difference, a major problem can be caused. Wang Hongyi is not at all careful. He reads it word by word and then passes it to Zhang Youzhi. He found that there is no problem, so he used the jade seal.

After using it, he said to Yu Liangbo: "You accepted this order, and I will not send an imperial envoy. You will go to announce the order tomorrow and notify Lu Gao."

Yu Liangbo was shocked, but he was a virtuous person since he was a child, and now he is a major official. This is the quality of the minister. He was calm when he was in charge of affairs, and he knelt down and performed three kneelings and nine kowtows before he received the order.

"If you take it, you don't have to be so grand. Get up. It's just June, so drink some ice water. What do you think about the situation?"

By the way, since Yu Zhao became the prime minister and Yu Liangbo left the Secret Palace again, he would not talk about such major events anymore. Wang Hongyi knew that this was to avoid suspicion.

However, Wang Hongyi knew that the prime minister Yu Zhao was appointed once every five years, and at the end of the fifth year of Hongwu, he would be rewarded and retired to form a system. I won’t say much at this time.

When Yu Liangbo heard the emperor's question, he thought for a while and said, "I think that I have seen that Gunzhou has been settled. This is a big chess. Now I send an envoy to Qingzhou to persuade him to surrender. Qingzhou has no master at this time, and it is broken apart. Facing my great success, I will be able to surrender according to the order, and there is great potential for it."

Chenliu was occupied by Wang Hongyi's army and settled down in just two or three days.

The army sent by the Duke of Zheng to Gunzhou would die or surrender, and would be generally healthy.

The Hu people were intercepted at Baima Port. Now the army has sent 10,000 troops and carried a large amount of ammunition to go up through Guandu Port. It is difficult for the Hu people to make any difference.

In this case, the key to obtaining Luoyang is the key.

"Your Majesty, Gunzhou is pacified and the news reaches Luoyang, it will surely make the upper and lower levels panic. According to the opinions of the ministers, we should take advantage of the situation and march towards Luoyang to pacify it."

Wang Hongyi sat down, listening to this opinion, pondering silently.

Basically, I agree with continuing to use troops and have this idea.

Looking at his tripod, after Chenliu, Gunzhou was pacified, he saw a faint dragon aura floating in the cauldron, and the luck that poured into the cauldron suddenly became larger.

But even so, the impact of black and red continued and was faintly suppressed, which surprised Wang Hongyi.

Wang Hongyi pondered for a moment and said, "The attack on Luoyang is a major plan that has been decided long ago. Since the ministers have no objection, this matter has been decided. The army will repair it for another three days, and go to Luoyang with the solitary ones to recover the old capital of Dayan!"
