Chapter 269: Nanjing (Part 1)

After confirming that Shengzhou had been captured, Luo Yongsheng led his army to no longer delay. In just four days, the army arrived in Shengzhou from Wu County.

Now it is not called Shengzhou, it is called Nanjing.

As soon as Luo Chengwu conquered Shengzhou, he replaced the plaque on the city gate building according to Luo Yongsheng's earlier instructions.

Now here is Nanjing Prefecture, the governor of Jiangsu Province of the Great Chu.

When Luo Chengwu learned that the king had arrived, he brought the entire army and the powerful gentry and gentry in Nanjing to wait early. The team lined up for several miles, and the two gongs and drum teams were even arranged neatly.

The banner "Welcome the King of Chu to the End" filled the entire Nanjing city.

"Welcome to the Father."

When Luo Yongsheng was just now seeing Luo Yongsheng appear, Luo Chengwu, who was standing at the forefront of the welcome team, hurriedly greeted him, saluted in front of the horse with joy, and shouted: "My son has not humiliated the king's order, and has defeated Nanjing for you."

Gao Jue immediately, Luo Yongsheng, wearing armor, turned over and patted the latter's shoulder with great relief, nodded and said, "No, you did a good job."

Luo Chengwu was even more happy after receiving affirmation. He was about to speak up when he listened to Luo Yongsheng's voice.

"I have already remembered you for your merits. I will stay in front of me for a good rest these days."

One sentence made Luo Chengwu panic again.

I made a mistake!

His lips were stammering and he wanted to explain, but he found that Luo Yongsheng had already walked past him. He didn't have to think too much about it and hurriedly followed.

"See the king, the king will never be able to live!"

Nanjing is a big city and the most well-deserved city in Jiangnan. Therefore, there are thousands of representatives of gentry who came to welcome him. When they saw Luo Yongsheng, they all raised their robes and bowed their heads and shouted together.

"All up, my Great Chu will not promote the kneeling ceremony. Now, you will also be the king and the people of my Great Chu. This customary ceremony is exempted."

"Thank you, King."

A group of people stood up, and a group of old men stood in the front row. One of them took two steps in front with a shy face and bowed to Luo Yongsheng: "Zhang Fu, the grass man, please see the king."

"Zhang Fu was the prefect of the prefecture before. The Zhang family has been an official for generations. His uncle was the prime minister in the year of Yongxi. Zhang Fu's uncle and uncle were mostly the heads of prefectures in Jiangnan and Zhejiang, and his family was very well-off."

Yan Xiangming followed Luo Yongsheng and whispered to introduce the identities of the people who were Yingjia: "Also, the Zhang family and Wang Qinruo are still relatives. The battle in Yingzhou broke out earlier. Wang Qinruo strongly advocated that the Zhao Song court move the capital to Nanjing, and the Zhang family even began to repair the Southern Tang Palace."

He has a prominent family background and a deep relationship.

The Zhang family in Jiangnan is quite arrogant.

Luo Yongsheng smiled at Zhang Fu, saying that he had seen the courtesy, and said nothing, and looked at the others again.

All of these people are famous families, and Yan Xiangming introduced them one by one.

"You are all the pillars of Jiangnan. I believe that with your strong support in the future, our Great Chu will get better and better. You can also be the pillars of my Great Chu."

Luo Yongsheng gave a simple encouragement and then got on the horse: "Tonight, I will hold a banquet, and I hope you can give me this face."

Everyone was happy and chanted and chanted.

"Wang Enhao, how dare we not obey?"

Outside the city gate, there were crowds of people, and the drums were loud. When you entered the city, it was a bleak scene. Although it was not as close as the doors and windows, there were few pedestrians. Occasionally, children cried and furiously heard from several households, and they were quickly scolded and stopped by the adults.

Luo Yongsheng's brows couldn't help but frown.

"After our army entered the city, did it cause trouble for the people?"

These words scared Yan Xiangming and shook his head and said, "Absolutely, after the Wang Army entered the city, he did not hurt the people alone."

"Then where have hundreds of thousands of people in Nanjing gone?"

Luo Yongsheng glanced across two streets and snorted coldly: "Kou Gui told the Gu that when Nanjing was the most prosperous, there were not as many talented men and beautiful people as Tokyo, and there were a million indigenous people, where was the millions?"

"It's all about Che Jingyao, Lu Xiaoguang and the others are trying to do it."

Seeing Luo Yongsheng getting angry, Yan Xiangming did not dare to delay and hurriedly told the whole story: "Since the king destroyed the Song Dynasty, these two people felt that the end of the world was coming, and instigated their soldiers to commit crimes in Nanjing, causing serious military discipline to be corrupted, and countless people in Nanjing fled.

The Zhang family and other major families also took the opportunity to merge and take refugees as tenants, which caused great damage to the vitality of the private economy and countless small merchants were destroyed. This is why the depressed scene is today."

After a pause, Yan Xiangming said again: "The situation in Nanjing is now very bad. The powerful and powerful acted violently and the people's livelihood is in decline. This is the most prosperous city in Jiangnan, and the people are even about to reach the point where Yi Zi ate each other."

Luo Yongsheng, who was moving forward, strangled the horse.

When he stopped, the nearly 100,000 troops behind him also stopped.

The Chu army enforced the orders, and the 100,000 people were in uniform without any noise.

This silence brings endless sense of oppression, and its military power even makes the air and time seem to solidify.

Zhang Fu and others, who were happily talking, followed the king's army into the city, were stunned.

Just when he was confused, he could hear Luo Yongsheng's voice.

"Mr. Zhang Fu, can you come here?"

Zhang Fu, who was named, was shocked. He didn't care about it and hurriedly ran to the front and bowed: "Master?"

"The official was the prefect of the prefecture earlier, right?"

"Caomin is in a position."

"Then you know Shengzhou very well?"

"A little clarity."

Luo Yongsheng got off the horse again, and behind him, Yongjie, Cheng Wu and other heavy generals all got off the horse, surrounded him tightly to prevent accidents.

The former grabbed Zhang Fu's arm, walked to a wide house, and pointed to the plaque of "Li Mansion" hanging on the lintel and asked.

"Where is this mansion?"

"Li Zhi, the former Huainan Road Trial Censor's Office."

Li Zhi was also in the welcoming team. When he saw Luo Yongsheng coming to his door, he was so scared that he was full of souls. He hurriedly came forward, but he didn't dare to speak, so he had to stand aside and tremble.

"What is the official voice?"

Zhang Fu glanced at Li Zhi and said tremblingly: "I have always had Qingwang, but he is a famous scholar in Jiangnan."

"oh."

Luo Yongsheng nodded and stepped forward directly. The servant in front of the Li Mansion was so scared that his legs were weak. Seeing that Luo Yongsheng was on the rise, he knelt down in a hurry, and ignored the former and directly crossed the threshold and entered the Li Mansion.

When the maid from the mansion saw Luo Yongsheng and his party enter, he still didn't understand who the visitor was or Li Zhi was scolded.

"The King of Chu has arrived, but he has not kneeled down yet."

These talents were so scared that they knelt down to greet them.

Luo Yongsheng walked to the nearest maid, bent down and helped the little girl up: "Thank you hard, take me to the treasury and the kitchen."

The maid dared not ask Li Zhi for instructions again, so she nodded immediately and led the way with a swaying step forward.

No one knew what Luo Yongsheng wanted to do, and no one dared to ask, so he could only follow him with a tough bullet.

The treasury of Li's mansion is quite large. When Luo Yongsheng stepped in, he saw that he saw the mountains and seas of food, copper coins and various materials.

Luo Yongsheng didn't say anything and went to the kitchen again.

More than a dozen chefs knelt all over the floor.

Luo Yongsheng did not go to see the big fish and meat on the chopping board, but ordered two chefs.

"Go and bring the bucket over and pour it on the ground."

Two chefs went to pick up the water, and the sour and smelly smell made everyone feel uncomfortable, but only Luo Yongsheng still had a normal expression.

The slurry was poured out, and Luo Yongsheng didn't mind it was dirty and wanted to tinker with a bamboo stick.

He fiddled out the vegetable leaves, the rice grains, the pork belly that was suitable for fat and thin, and even the whole sea fish that was almost motionless.

Luo Yongsheng looked back at Li Zhi and grinned.

“Don’t it be difficult to eat?”

The latter hurriedly knelt down.

"Grass people...Grass people"

Luo Yongsheng turned around and left.

"Trap Li Zhi onto the street and dismember him!"
