The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 446

Prince Yong's Mansion, Chief History Department.

"Report to the two adults, Lin Quan sent someone over, saying that he would bring Hu Xiaolin there for interrogation!"

Hearing the report, the expressions of the two elders in the duty room sank, especially Zhou Chengping's expression was particularly ugly.

Zhou Chengping put down the pen in his hand, and said angrily: "Let them call the criminals to interrogate together. These people hide and refuse to give, but ask us to hand them over... How ridiculous!"

"If I really hand over people to him, I'm afraid he will describe them as black if they are not white. This guy will do anything for meritorious service!"

Zhou Chengping spoke angrily, but Cheng Wenguang sitting across from him didn't say a word, and he didn't even stop writing in his hand.

He has no friendship with Dianyi Zheng Ma Baokun, and he has never met Hu Xiaolin, so naturally there is no need to worry about these two people.

This matter can make Zhou Chengping feel embarrassed, Cheng Wenguang is actually quite happy in his heart, after all, he has been brushed off by Zhou Chengping many times.

After stamping the official document with a big seal, Cheng Wenguang beckoned to the little official beside him, "Send this to the Gongzheng Office and let them handle it as soon as possible!"

The little official finished the document, bowed and replied: "Obey!"

After the person withdrew, Cheng Wenguang said: "Old Zhou, His Highness approved that Lin Quan and the trial office should interrogate the case together. You can't shame him too much!"

Picking up the teacup, Cheng Wenguang took a deep breath, and then said: "You also know that your Highness's plan is to go south and north, and there should be no discord in the palace!"

Zhou Chengping couldn't refute what Cheng Wenguang said, but it didn't mean he agreed with it in his heart.

Without Cheng Wenguang's support, Zhou Chengping could only compromise. This is the reality.

At the Gongzheng office on the other side, after receiving Cheng Wenguang's approval document, Gongzheng Huang Zhongchang summoned all the subordinate officials.

In the hall, looking at the officials in front of him, Huang Zhongchang said slowly: "Your Highness means that building the equipment for the siege is the most important thing at the moment. At least fifty carpenters must be dispatched!"

"Skilled craftsmen are selected from various workshops. We must make an appointment before noon today, and we have to set off with the grain transportation team in the afternoon!"

An official asked, "So urgent?"

"His Highness specially sent guards to pick him up, are you in a hurry?" Huang Zhongchang said in a deep voice.

"You discuss the candidate as soon as possible. I will go to contact Chen Baihu first, and bring him to Anhe Gate at noon ([-] o'clock noon)!"

Speaking of this, Huang Zhongchang remembered something more important, and only heard him say: "This time I go to Liaoping, I need a leader..."

Hearing this, several officials present had different expressions, but some were happy and some were sad.

"Brother Zheng Xian...you go there!"

Zheng Ding, who was pointed by Huo Huang Zhongchang, stood up quickly at this moment and said, "Obey!"

Among Huang Zhongchang's subordinates, Zheng Ding was the youngest and the one who liked to show off the most, so he handed over this important task to Zheng Ding.

"Okay, you guys go get ready!"

After saying that, Huang Zhongchang got up first and walked out of the hall, he also had his own business to attend to.

After everyone left, a group of officials got up one after another to congratulate Zheng Ding who was about to go north.

"Master Zheng, congratulations..."

"Going north this time, I will definitely make meritorious service..."

At this moment, Zheng Ding will neither be delighted by these people's praise nor worried about going north.

Going to the north to contribute to the great cause of the palace, this is Zheng Ding's simple idea at the moment.

…………

When the Chief History Division received the reply, the Privy Council also received the order.

Zhao Yanxun wants to recruit troops from the entire Yuanyang Mansion, on the one hand to replenish the lost troops, and on the other hand because he wants to expand the army.

Now that the territory is getting bigger, more soldiers are needed to defend it. This is an unchangeable fact.

This time the number of conscripts is relatively large, and Zhao Yanxun will not need more than two thousand conscripts.

You know, all the soldiers under Zhao Yanxun now add up to only about 50.00, and his recruitment directly expanded the number by [-]%.

Now his subordinates actually control a population of more than 8, of whom at least [-] are young and strong. Expanding the army to a size of more than [-] people is not extreme in today's apocalyptic situation.

Strictly speaking, all young and strong are reserve soldiers.

After writing the official documents, the Privy Council will not directly recruit troops, but send the documents to the Yuanyang government office.

The government government will issue conscription orders in the prefecture and each county, and the specific allocation of conscription quotas will be determined by the actual population of each city.

These, the Yuanyang government government needs detailed data, so after receiving the documents from the Privy Council, the quota for conscription was allocated within half an hour.

Naturally, the city with the most conscription is Yuanyang Fucheng. 500 people will be recruited in the city, and the remaining 500 people will fall in the counties.

In Fucheng, the guards took notices and began to post them in various squares in the city.

"Let's all come and see, the lord is going to conscript, all who are willing to come!" The guards yelled loudly.

Soon, many people gathered under the notice board.

Young adults enthusiastically signed up, but today's registration does not mean passing, the Privy Council has to carefully screen.

Only those with strong enough physical fitness can be selected into the army.

There are two main reasons why ordinary people choose to join the army.

On the one hand, it is people's livelihood. After joining the army, the treatment is the best, which can guarantee the livelihood of the family.

The second is safer. Even if young adults do not join the army, they will be sent out to work in the city. This is an extremely dangerous experience.

Of course, the sense of honor after joining the army is also a point for the young and strong to consider. Who would not want to be the heavenly soldier and general of His Royal Highness King Yong.

"I'll have one..."

"I also need to go……"

The crowd was surging, and the guards directed the common people to line up, and then told them to go to the government office to register.

At this moment, there are several desks placed outside the gate of the government office, and behind each desk sits a small official to register the young and strong who come to sign up.

The outside of the government office is busy, and at the moment, the inside of the government office is also busy with major events.

Although they failed to take Hu Xiaolin away, Lin Quan was allowed to enter the government office and tortured Hu Xiaolin.

In the cell, Lin Quan looked at Hu Xiaolin who was covered in wounds, and said slowly: "Are there any other accomplices? Even if you say a person's name, you won't have to suffer this crime!"

When tortured Ma Jin, Lin Quan learned of Hu Xiaolin's name, so he was sure that the man in front of him was a spy.

However, people like Wang Zhengjun, almost blind with their eyes open, always believed that Hu Xiaolin was innocent, and wanted to let him go.

"My... my lord, I really don't know anything, I'm not a spy!"

"Stubborn, let's see how long you can survive!" Lin Quan said coldly.

At this moment, a fan came to Lin Quanquan and said in a low voice: "Eunuch, the magistrate is going to release Chen Dalang!"

"Let go?"

Fanzi explained; "This man is indeed a good citizen, he has been living in the city all this time, and he was the one who surrendered himself to Hu Xiaolin!"

If even these people are imprisoned, then who would dare to be loyal to King Yong.

Lin Quan has carefully checked the details of Chen Dalang, and knows that Chen Dalang is indeed fine.

"This person is irrelevant, let him go!" Lin Quan said indifferently.

What he is most concerned about now is to rely on people like Ma Jin to dig out the spies hiding in Fucheng and counties.

"Yes!"
