Chapter two hundred and eighty first to be prepared
After the numbers of manpower, money and grain were probably gathered, and the various measures to defend the city were reached, it came to an end. Two hours had passed. Of course, it was not until all the discussion was completed. The inner hall also knew the priorities. Once many methods were agreed, someone would immediately pass the order. Even the brothers Wang Hu and Wang Xiong, who were serving as guards, ran away several times. Zhu Da's servants had already started patroling the city and the city walls.
After everything was settled, everyone in the inner hall breathed a sigh of relief. At least they knew what to do next and where to use their strength. This was also related to Zhu Da's census method. The officials and servants combined this method with the rules of doing things handed down by their ancestors, which really meant to be free from leaks. They did things in a meticulous and thorough manner, and no one felt at ease. Although no one was sure, most of them were calm.
From the early morning to discuss, most people didn't even have time to eat breakfast. When the tense nerves relaxed, the movements in their abdomen started to flow one after another. Master Hu quickly arranged for the kitchen to make some quick meals. When the aroma of the food began to spread, the people in the inner hall also began to yawn and fatigue also rose.
At this moment, Zhu Da, who had been silent for a long time, stood up from his seat, glanced at the room and said loudly: "There are almost a hundred people who can use it in Class 3, but these people are not something that the county government can manage. They are all the personalities of all elders. In addition to the more than a hundred people in the yamen, there are dozens of men who can fight in the family. These are private property. At the moment, our Huairen County must work together. These people are unified by me. I also ask the elders to say hello. Whoever is confused, be careful is not brainless. It doesn't matter if a slut is dead. It will be bad if the benefactor behind him is implicated. Everyone, have I explained it clearly?"
For the convenience of doing things, civil officials and wealthy families are accustomed to stuffing their own private parts into the third class of servants. In addition to a few dozen trustees, the head of the third class of servants is more just coordination and command. This is a case of prefectures, prefectures, counties and government offices in the Ming Dynasty, and there is nothing strange.
After Zhu Da pointed it out without hesitation and warned and threatened, County Magistrate Ai and Master Hu's faces appeared a little happy. The others were a little quiet, and they all agreed in a dry voice.
"In such a crisis, I won't tell any rules. I will arrest people. The money and grain management should be captured by my adoptive father. The military, workshop, punishment, strong team, soap and fast team should be pleaded with. The others will be arranged by my adoptive father. The magistrate will naturally be in charge of the general. My father and son are just running for the sake of their own." Zhu Da said again, at least he added at the end, but everyone knows that this sentence is just a cover-up.
After saying that, the inner hall became quiet. What Zhu Da described was too ruthless. The county government of a county in Ming Dynasty was so nakedly controlled by a father and son who had no name. It was not the ordinary kind of tyrants secretly obedient of the powerful, but directly demanding officials to obey them.
"...this...this is unruly..." Someone couldn't help but whisper, but the room was too quiet. After he finished speaking, it clearly reached everyone's ears. Everyone else bowed their heads and had no intention of answering. Qin Juren was still sitting upright, but his expression was a little unnatural.
Zhu Da looked over and said that it was the county's Lifang Jingcheng. The civil servants who had been working in the Lifang for a long time often looked more like scholars, but this person's character was also very limited. Seeing that Zhu Da looked over and had a look of fear, Zhu Da sneered and pulled out his sword with his backhand. Seeing the cold steel knife pulled out, everyone in the inner hall changed their fear. The person who spoke before stood up and took a few steps and stuck it on the wall, shaking all over his body as if he was sifted. In fact, the heads of the three teams in the house could do some tricks, but at this time they looked down at the ground and only did nothing.
"What is the rule? The Tartars are the rules! The lives of the people in the city are the rules! The knife in my hand is the rules! I am in a hurry to follow the power, and for the sake of life and the safety of Huairen, I naturally have to do extraordinary things. When the Tartars leave, everything will return to the past. If the Tartars don't leave, can your rules let the Tartars go?" Zhu Da asked in a deep voice, no one can deal with his words.
Qin Chuan, who had been sitting upright, smiled and said, "For the safety of the whole city, you do not care about your personal gain. This is really a righteous act. Afterwards, it will be passed on to the prefectures and cities, and you will be commended. You can also get a piece of money in history books!"
Although it was the son who sang the father and the other party, Qin Chuan's words set the tone, and everyone was inexplicably relieved. Since someone was willing to take on this responsibility and had such a status afterwards, everyone just followed suit.
"Mr. Qin and Mr. Zhu are really righteous. Zhou is willing to participate in the act of justice. In the next period of dangerous times, we are willing to have money and work hard. If anyone interferes with it, Zhou will not agree, and Zhou will also be too old. Old Song is actually worried that he will cause trouble afterwards. He has always admired Mr. Qin and Mr. Zhu. Old Song, come and accompany me quickly!" The first person to stand up and talk was Zhou Gui, who not only showed his support firmly, but also smoothed out the civil servant who spoke just now.
The "Old Song" came over to apologize, while the others followed Zhou Gui and said that they were the only one who followed the horse. Even Magistrate Ai got up and said a few words of scenes.
"Entertainment father, the child is going to patrol the city. Please ask your adoptive father to work hard!" Zhu Da walked to Qin Chuan and said solemnly.
"Don't worry, the grain station will make arrangements for the father." Qin Chuan said solemnly, but after saying this, Qin Chuan laughed silently, shook his head and said with emotion: "It's a bit similar to the experience of the Salt Stage back then, but the brothers who dealt with him back then, and now they have become you."
The people around him could also hear these words. Everyone in the inner hall knew very well, and now they just thought they couldn't understand them.
When Zhu Da walked out of the county government gate with his head held high, the street was no longer as quiet as it was when he came, but it was not too noisy. Many Huairen people walked out of the hospital in a daze. When they saw the fully armed patrol servants, they hurriedly retreated. Some people ran towards the city gate regardless of their care, and they didn't even know how to avoid Zhu Da and his party. They were directly grabbed by Zhu Da and slapped them in the face several times.
"What are you going to do?"
"I'm going out of the city!"
"The Tartars are coming. Are you looking for death when you go out of the city?"
"How can I stop the Tartars here? When the Tartars come, they will either die or be caught to the north. I will hide in the mountains and be safe there."
"Do you know how long it takes to enter the mountain after leaving the city? Do you have a place to live in the mountain? You have just brought a few bags. How long can you last in the mountain?"
Zhu Da asked the man who was about to leave the city and was stunned. When Zhu Da let go, he stopped running. He squatted in place, covered his head and cried bitterly. Following his family members, he hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him, and after a few words of comfort, he cried out.
"Go home and stay well. If you leave the city like this, you can only freeze and starve to death. It is better to be killed by the Tartars." Zhu Da said a few words without hesitation and led everyone to the west gate.
Although the road is not very far, there are more than the one who wants to escape from the city. Zhu Da is too lazy to care about it. The servants behind him chased him and stopped him back. It is not so easy to go out now. On the way, he also met a team of servants under Zhu Da. They were led by young soldiers from the county and armed men who had trained. There was no such thing as a riot on the street. This was also a reason why it was not too noisy.
After leaving the county government office, Wang Hu and Wang Xiong did not follow Zhu Da and landed a little farther away. They were different from their servants and had a lot of freedom in their actions, and no one cared about them. The two of them were just talking quietly there.
"Did he come up with this or what Qin Juren thought of it?"
"It's not like Qin Juren. When he was taking the exam in Taiyuan, he could see his nature. Although he was brave, he knew the rules. The person in front of him was too ruthless. If he hadn't been protected by a Juren, he would not have been able to deny it afterwards that he was a treason."
"If you really can save the people of the city, you will not have any guilt afterwards. Besides, in the critical moment of the war, he cannot be said to be wrong. If these rural muds are in charge, they will take the opportunity to make money and turn bad things into disasters will be troubles."
"This Zhu Da might have taken advantage of it. How could the Tartars go south and care about this small county town? But everyone sees it when they dare to do things in a critical moment."
Wang Hu and Wang Xiong are both in their early thirties and forties, and have a lot of experience and experience. In their judgment, the Mongolian horse team will invade more valuable goals. It is too much of a loss to snatch such a county with a complete city wall. In fact, Zhu Da’s judgment is similar to theirs, but Zhu Da dares not gamble. He has to prepare for the worst even if there are signs of bad things. He is really afraid.
When we were about to reach the west gate of the county town, we saw some residents in the city walking back dejectedly. When we saw Zhu Da and the others dodged on one side or hid on another street, we walked in and saw everyone in despair and despair. When we arrived at the city gate, we had the answer.
The west gate of the county town is already crowded with people. They are not going out of the city, but just entering the city. Every person and every family who enter the city are full of desperate situations and full of gratitude. Even through the city walls and gates, you can hear crying and begging outside. In this situation, those who are smart or are frightened to collapse know whether it is better or safe outside the city.
There is already a team of servants here at Ximen. Wang Jing is leading the team and is assisting the servants in maintaining order. However, it is better to say that the servants are helping the servants in their busy schedules.
