The 1520th chapters battle the empire (21)
What's even more outrageous is that the position of supervisor who had disappeared for hundreds of years was re-issued, and he also served as the supervisor of two provinces.
Although it is an era of warlord separatism and status is not particularly important, the governors of these two provinces are still very shocked!
However, I don’t know if it was Zhao Hu’s intention to cooperate or something. After the news spread, just as everyone was still suspicious, Zhao Hu quickly changed into the military uniform of the general that was urgently made, and naturally the rank of shining major general was hung on his shoulders.
At the same time, the military flag that originally fluttered high in the mansion with the title of Colonel Zhao Hu was also replaced with the legion flag with the number "Twentieth Legion of the Empire".
It was the first time that a plaque was hung outside the mansion. The three golden words "Governor's Mansion" were enough to make anyone who knew how to understand the identity of the owner of the mansion at a glance.
As soon as these three things appeared, the people in Zhao Hujun's territory immediately understood that the news was true.
Almost in an instant, everyone with the status of the Three People cheered. Lord Zhao Hu became the governor, so wouldn’t he be better than the subordinates of his supervisors?
Therefore, under the leadership of local Shangmin and civil warriors, they began to celebrate one after another, and the Xia Sanmin, who received the benefits of celebration, couldn't help but cheer.
They began to hope that after the Governor expanded their territory, they would be able to escape from the status of the lower three people, especially most of the members were slaves from military backgrounds, and they were even looking forward to a new round of recruitment of soldiers.
Unlike the happy scenes under Zhao Hu, all the surrounding warlords were shocked.
However, after a while of panic, they took it seriously, as one of the warlords said: "So what about the governor? I am a marshal. I want me to obey the orders. OK, as long as I can destroy my army and steal my territory, I will say whatever I say, I will definitely be even more grandson than my grandson!
But if you can't do it, then don't show the power of the governor! Do you really think it was the period of the empire's prosperity? Now is the era of warlord separatism! As long as there are soldiers, you will have whatever you want! Who is afraid of whom!
"If Zhao Hu dares to come, one cannot beat him, but two cannot beat him. If two cannot beat him, can all of us join forces and still be able to beat him?"
After this was heard, the warlords immediately returned to their former arrogant expressions. Yes, now is the era of warlords, and if you have soldiers, you are the king! So what about you, the general? If you cannot destroy me, I will pretend that you have not arrived!
If you, Zhao Hu, dare to provoke my territory, I will immediately join forces with all the warlords to destroy you, the governor!
Of course, Zhao Hu's army is still very powerful. If everyone is in peace, I will not provoke Zhao Hu. After all, I am a gentleman.
So with this mentality, the warlords sing and danced, and they searched for the people's fat, helped to strengthen the men, and snatched the beauties when they were bored. They would compete with the surrounding warlords, and earn some land if they lost, and as long as they did not hurt their muscles.
As for the governor, just say that warlord who calls himself a governor appeared in the coastal province.
Although the warlords all think so, the people below do not.
Although ordinary people will listen to whoever is powerful, no matter what, their ancestors have lived under the rule of the empire for nearly a thousand years. Although the authority of the empire is somewhat weakened, it still exists deep in their hearts.
After confirming that the news that Zhao Hu was appointed as the governor of the imperial capital was true, the people vaguely believed in their hearts that Zhao Hu was the head of this province and that those warlords disobeyed the head of this head's rebellion.
Ordinary people have this idea, and of course, those great sages who are knowledgeable, noble in morality, or loyal to the empire and are unwilling to serve the warlords who are hiding in the mountains.
After receiving the news, most of these great sages were moved and had the idea of going down the mountain to help the supervisor restore stability in the province.
Of course, there were only one or two great sages who immediately went to surrender to Zhao Hu, and most of the rest were waiting and watching. Some were afraid that Zhao Hu was actually a warlord, while others were afraid that Zhao Hu would cheat. No matter what, most of the sages were still watching the limelight.
The Governor's Office of the Coastal Province.
The young governor said anxiously: "My father, this Zhao Hu was actually appointed as the governor of the two provinces of Haibin and Sea Spring. Does he still want your position as governor?"
The Governor still shook his head slowly and said, "Of course I won't want it anymore. If I really want it, I am the Governor, who is not as good as his Governor.
"Haha, I didn't expect the imperial capital to give such a reward. But if Zhao Hu is favored by God, really occupy the two provinces and use this to turn the guests, I wonder if the imperial capital will regret it when he thinks of this decision?"
"Oh, my father respects Zhao Hu too much, right? He turned his back on the imperial capital? This is simply impossible." The young governor thought helplessly.
Although he had other ideas in his heart, the young governor asked with great concern: "My father, the fleet is now anchored at the dock. Should we leave as planned or what?"
"Cancel the plan to contact Zhao Hu, and the rest will behave as planned." The governor patted the handrail and said.
"Uh, then your position as governor..." said the young governor hesitantly.
"Ha, this position is only my own responsibility, it should be made disappear." The Governor smiled.
The young governor sighed and lowered his head to show that he understood.
A few days later, the Governor took his family to the suburbs to relax after escorting his guards. What is admirable is that the Governor also visited the vault for a while before he relaxed, and then he slowly left the city.
However, when it was dark, no one came back. The officials in the provincial capital sent people to investigate but had no results. When they found the Governor's Mansion, they were shocked to find that there were only servants in the Governor's Mansion.
Not to mention the Governor's family, even the managers who are slightly closer to the Governor have disappeared.
After everyone turned the Governor's Office upside down regardless of etiquette, they were very disappointed to find that except for furniture and clothing and other household items, the entire Governor's Office only found a few copper plates left in the corner, and there were no other valuable things.
Some clever officials immediately ran to the vault and opened it and couldn't help but grit their teeth and scold them.
Because the entire vault was completely cleaned up spotlessly, let alone coins, there was no hair in the huge space!
The Governor ran away!
This was the first thought that arose in everyone's mind after they got nothing, and what came out immediately was: Who succeeded as the governor?
As soon as the second thought came out, the officials with some status began to think wildly.
However, the plan always fails to keep up with the changes. Just as they were about to win over people and find an opponent, the gatekeeper suddenly came to the dock to the whole world.
The content is very simple. The governor believes that he is responsible for his position and violates the laws of the empire. He has to barely support him because he is responsible for defending the territory. Now that the imperial capital has appointed the governor, he can finally take down the heavy responsibility of defending the territory and return to his hometown to retire.
After some giggling words on his face, the Governor continued to say that as a minister of the imperial world, since he had given up his responsibilities and retired, he should unconditionally hand over the army and territory under his command to the Governor.
Anyway, the meaning behind it is that the security issues on my land, the military pay issues of my army, and other messy things. Don’t look for him in the future, because he has stopped doing it and has returned to his hometown to retire.
If you want to find it, please go to the nominal boss of the Haibin Province, General Zhao Hu.
It is estimated that the Governor had made arrangements, and the document spread throughout the dock in an instant, and then quickly spread throughout the coastal province, making it impossible for provincial officials to block the news.
After receiving this news, everyone was stunned. The former commander of the security division was really willing to leave. He even left at will, but why did he give the army and territory to Zhao Hu?!
The warlords around the provincial capital were even more jumping. Damn it, I am near the provincial capital, why didn’t I give it to me! I want to grab the territory now but I’m afraid that others will take the opportunity to attack behind the scenes. I would have been prepared if I had known it!
After receiving the news, the Governor's 100,000 soldiers were first silent in disbelief, and then the officers cursed, believing that the Governor was not worthy of his loyalty, and actually abandoned his loyal subordinates for no reason!
Since you are not loyal to the Governor, you naturally don’t have to obey the final orders of the Governor. Then let yourself obey yourself. I have been waiting for this opportunity for a long time!
Because of the loss of the suppression of the Governor, the biggest leader, the ambitions of officers of all sizes immediately erupted.
In almost a moment, 100,000 governors split into hundreds of warlord forces of different sizes on the spot, and these super small warlords immediately launched a warlord annexation war.
As a result, the provincial capital, which had been stable and prosperous, was immediately shrouded in a dense manner. When the surrounding warlords saw this scene, they suppressed their moods and stood aside to watch the fun with gloating, and began to fantasize about the happy scene of being a fisherman.
After the news announced by the governor came to Zhao Hu's territory, the people and the low-level officials were extremely happy, but the top leaders of Zhao Hu's army did not respond at all.
"Master, my subordinates always feel it's a pity. They know that the governor intends to abandon his territory and army to be a rich man. As long as we send people to accept it, the territory soldiers can be expanded several times in an instant." Zhou Wen frowned and said.
