heavy weapon is king

Chapter 165 The Rebellion of the Seven Counties
County mansion, Jinlin Court.

This place was originally the residence of the successive counties of Annan County, and it was also the residence of Sangjier, the native prince of Dayue who had just escaped from Yangzhou City.

Sang Jier is the most beloved third son of King Sang Kang of Dayue. More than 20 years ago, after Sang Kang led his troops to occupy Annan County, the entire Yangzhou City was sealed off to him, and he was responsible for the military and administrative taxes of the entire Yangzhou City.

It has to be said that Sang Jier is still a bit wise and humane nobleman of Dai Viet. Since he took office, he has worked hard to govern Yangzhou City and everything in the lower eight counties.

The people of Dayue are brave and good at fighting, vicious and fierce, and all of them are from tribal groups, so what they do in the tribe is not suitable for managing the people in the city of Song Dynasty.Because after the Dayue people occupied Annan, when they faced the local Han people, they always had an extremely arrogant sense of blood superiority.

Except for the people in their Dai Viet tribe, all other races, including the Han Chinese who are very advanced in agriculture, technology, culture, etc., are a group of animals that can be enslaved and whipped at will.

In the face of these Han people, every Da Viet people feel that they have the right to decide their life and death, and can punish or execute them at will. Anyway, in the hearts of the Da Viet people, they are nobles and slave owners, and these occupied and captured Han people, they are a group of low-level slaves.

In the first few years when the Dai Viet people first occupied Annan, the fate of the local Han people was dark, tragic, and full of blood and tears.Because the Dayue State did not formulate a complete legal system at that time, many innocent Han people died tragically under the butcher knife of the Dayue people.

Among them, those who refused to obey the insults were executed, those who saw the people of Da Viet refused to kneel down and kowtow were executed, those who were caught by the people of Da Viet and refused to hand over something were executed... and so on. People, if they want to execute a Han, they have countless reasons, and the price they pay for executing a Han is nothing more than a mere sum of money that is not very expensive.

This money is nothing to them, if they just go to blackmail and plunder a few Han merchants, they will get back ten times and a hundred times in no time.

Due to the chaotic situation at that time, the food and taxes fell sharply in those years. Later, Sang Jier and other high-level officials with great wisdom felt that something would happen sooner or later, so they issued a series of strict orders: Except for the nobles and the garrisoned troops, the rest of the Dai Viet people were all repatriated to the Viet Kingdom.Any Dai Viet soldier who voluntarily lynched Han people to death would be punished with whipping, and then deported back to the country, and would never be allowed to step into Han soil again.

Later, in order to restore the prosperity of agriculture and commerce in Annan County as soon as possible, many famous Han people were hired to serve as civil servants in various state capitals and counties.

Of course, the people of Dayue only need them to help manage the people in the city, and the military force of the entire Annan County has always been controlled by the people of Dayue.

In the entire 28 counties of the five cities in Annan County, all the generals and soldiers are all Dayue people, and there is no Han Chinese.

It can be seen from this that the Dai Viet people's precautions against the Han people can be seen.

Today, the Jinlin Garden of the county mansion has become an empty residence, and Leader Nie, who has occupied the entire Yangzhou City, lived in it as a matter of course

Since Jinlin Garden used to be the residence of the aboriginal prince of Dai Viet, the interior decoration is extremely luxurious and exquisite.There are eight wing rooms in Jinlin Garden, two living rooms, a flower hall, and an extremely large study room.

At the same time, Jinlin Garden is surrounded by a circle of courtyard walls. Inside the courtyard, there are pavilions, small bridges, flowing water, garden rockery, and the scenery is extremely elegant.

The sun is rising in the east, and the warm wind is blowing.

At this moment, in a gorgeous bedroom with exquisite decoration and carvings of dragons and phoenixes, Nie Zheng tidied up his clothes, walked slowly to the window sill, looked at the yellow printing box placed under the window sill, with a faint smile on his face. Smile.

Last night, he stayed up all night.

The reason for insomnia is because the mood is too excited.

Reborn in this strange ancient times for so long, fighting bloody battles all the way, from the beginning of the Black Wind Village, to the alliance of dragons and tigers, and now to the present Yangzhou City, step by step without any danger, it is finally some achievements .

When he took over the city seal from the Han officials in Si Ya Factory last night, Nie Zheng knew very well that from that moment on, his dream of being a warm-blooded warlord in ancient times had finally come true a big step forward.

Thinking of the indifferent expressions on the faces of those officials last night, Nie Zheng secretly felt a little strange.

For their own arrival, they seemed to have been prepared for a long time. Although they were in awe, they did not show much panic.

Especially the leading assistant official of Yangzhou, Chen Taizhi, when he saw him, he had a calm face, and he just led the crowd and bowed and said: "Marshal Nie, the officials and others have been waiting here for a long time! "

"Master Nie?"

How did they know their surname was Nie?Could it be that Chen Taizhi, the assistant official of Yangzhou, had inquired about the arrival of the Dragon and Tiger Army from Linjiang County through some channels?

Thinking of this, Nie Zheng felt that it was very possible.

After all, Linjiang County is one of the eight counties under the jurisdiction of Yangzhou, and Chen Taizhi, as the assistant official of Yangzhou City, is actually equivalent to the secretary of the native prince, managing all the government affairs of the entire eight counties of Yangzhou for the prince, except Apart from having no military power, he should be the most powerful Han official in Yangzhou City.

That being the case, maybe he got in touch with Jia Xiufang in Linjiang County through some secret channel?Even if Jia Xiufang hadn't been contacted, there must be some other small Han officials in Linjiang County, and those people would definitely tell him everything about the occupation of Linjiang County by the Dragon and Tiger Army.

Chen Taizhi is definitely a smart person, otherwise he would not be able to gain the trust of Prince Sangil and become the first assistant official of Yangzhou.

Since he already knew that he would lead an army to occupy Yangzhou City, Chen Taizhi must have been prepared to welcome him. The officials of the Siya Factory knew very well that the Dragon and Tiger Army led by Nie Zheng really wanted to occupy Yangzhou City. The city will not mess around arbitrarily.That's why they waited in the Crane Dance Hall of the county mansion holding the city seal until midnight.

Last night Nie Zheng visited the Crane Dance Hall in person, and after taking the seal from Chen Taizhi and others, he only said a word to the officials. "It's business as usual for now!"

Nie Zheng knew very well that this sentence would definitely make them feel at ease temporarily.

Business as usual for now!
The meaning of Nie Zheng's words is very obvious. It means that how you managed the city in the past, you should do it according to your previous method in the past few days, and then reshuffle the cards after the situation stabilizes.

Slowly putting away the printing box, Nie Zheng looked up at the sky outside, guessing that it would be eight o'clock in the morning at the most, and it was time to go out and make an inspection to see how Shi Zheng and Xu Shijie's city defense deployment was going. .

Thinking of this, Nie Zheng came to the bedside, picked up his robe and prepared to leave the bedroom.

At this moment, Niu Meng, who was guarding the door, suddenly reported in a deep voice: "Leader, Chen Fuguan from the Siya Factory is asking to see you!"

"Chen Taizhi?"

Nie Zheng's heart moved, and he thought to himself that he came to find him so early, could there be some urgent matter?

After pondering for a moment, Nie Zheng told Niu Meng, "Let him wait for me in the study."

"Yes, leader!"...

After a while, Nie Zheng, under the guard of Niu Meng and others, left the bedroom and went straight to the study not far away.

As soon as he entered the study, Nie Zheng saw Chen Taizhi anxiously waiting in front of the desk, looking a little restless.

To be honest, Chen Taizhi is about fifty years old, and he is a famous local rich family. He has replaced the native prince of Dai Viet as an assistant official for more than ten years. Logically, he should have some city mansions, and he will not show everything to his face. That's right.

But seeing him now, with an anxious expression on his face, it was obvious that he had encountered a difficult situation.

"Chen Fuguan, what do you want to see?"

When Chen Taizhi saw Nie Zheng finally appeared, he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to salute, "I pay my respects to the commander-in-chief!"

"Free gift!"

Nie Zheng waved his hand, motioning for him to find a place to sit down, and then he walked around to the chair behind the desk and sat down, "Fuguan Chen looks anxious, is there something urgent?"

Chen Taizhi looked up at Nie Zheng, sighed deeply and said, "Marshal, there is trouble in the seven counties outside the city."

Nie Zheng frowned, and said, "What's wrong? Tell me in detail."

Chen Taizhi pondered for a moment, and said: "Since the commander-in-chief led the dragon and tiger army into the city yesterday, all the people of Dayue in this Yangzhou city and the eight counties under his rule have all evacuated. Except for Linjiang County, Heyuan County The seven counties, Fengtai County, Liyuan County, Poshan County, Sanshui County, Guangtong County, and Bajiao County, are now in chaos.

The evacuation of the people of Dayue led to no security guards in the city, like those local rogues in the county who took advantage of the chaos and plundered and raped in the county. The troublemakers and bullies from all over the world also joined in, and the situation got a little out of control. "

boom! !

Nie Zheng jumped up and said in a cold voice: "What a bunch of brutes with no conscience, they are simply worse than those Da Viet people."

Seeing his face was as cold as ice, Chen Taizhi couldn't help trembling, he hesitated for a moment, and said bravely: "I also ask the commander-in-chief to send troops to the counties to suppress it immediately, otherwise, if it is delayed for a few more days, people's hearts will change. It's getting harder to control the situation."

Nie Zheng nodded without thinking, "Go back and prepare first. After half an hour, I will send troops to guard the counties!"

Hearing this, Chen Taizhi nodded deeply, bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, I'll go back to make preparations and leave!"

"Walk slowly, don't send!"

Looking at the back of Chen Taizhi leaving, Nie Zheng immediately shouted: "Niu Meng!"

"Subordinates are here!"

After hearing Nie Zheng's call, Niu Meng rushed in very quickly. Seeing Nie Zheng's gloomy and angry expression, he was shocked. fury.

Nie Zheng looked at Niu Meng coldly, and said in a deep voice: "Immediately send an order to Shi Zheng to dispatch 500 troops in the city, divide them into seven groups, and follow Chen Taizhi to the seven counties to suppress the chaos!"

"As ordered!"

"By the way, Niu Meng, you immediately send someone to fly to Linjiang and order Jia Xiufang to dispatch 700 people from Linjiang County to Yangzhou. Remember, let them arrive as quickly as possible!"

"Yes!"……
