The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 464
Jinyang City is full of bustling scenes at the beginning and end of the city. Although it is getting late, Jinyang City in the past has already closed its doors at this moment. There was a lot of voices.

Today is New Year's Eve, the last day of December in the fifth year of Zhongping. After today, a year has passed and we have officially entered the first year of Yonghan.

On New Year's Eve, the curfew in Jinyang City was also lifted by the Yellow Turban Army.

When the lanterns are lit, the lanterns will gather together, converging in the streets and markets, like flowing streams.

Most of the residents of Jinyang City did not stay at home, but walked out of their homes and joined the stream.

The stream was flowing slowly towards the east gate of Jinyang City. Some people were standing on a high place looking forward to it, and some were looking around among the crowd, as if they were looking for something.

On the street, groups of soldiers in dark blue uniforms walked among the crowd with long sticks. They were the newly established department of Taipingdao, named "Police".

Pre-warning is called "police", and "police" is called "cha" in Jianweizhi's works. The word "police" used together contains the meaning of investigation and arrest.

Although military control helps to maintain order, they dare not make trouble easily.

But there are also many disadvantages. The military control is strict. Although the attitude of the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army is not bad, and there is no bullying, but under the military control, many places are restricted.

The second is military management. The energy of a large number of full-time soldiers is wasted in the interior, just to maintain law and order, which is too expensive.

Moreover, they are soldiers, and the training they receive is not about maintaining law and order, or hunting down criminals. All the training they receive is relevant training on the battlefield.

With the increase of wounded soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army, the increase of local cases, and the financial problems of the Yellow Turban Army, various circumstances prompted Xu An to change this situation.

The "police" department came into being at this time.

Some of the wounded soldiers rescued by the Yellow Turban Army on the battlefield will never be able to return to the battlefield.

Because of the "Health Regulations" and "Nursing Manual" compiled by Xu An, many wounded soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army were saved from death, but they still suffered from injuries. The injuries they suffered made them disabled. Make them unable to go to the battlefield again.

It also makes them no longer able to be competent for some manual labor, farming, and working are unrealistic.

Naturally, Xu An couldn't let these soldiers who fought for Huang Tian suffer bloody battles and were wounded all over their bodies, but when they left the battlefield with all their wounds, they couldn't survive.

For themselves, for others, and for the family members behind them, they risked their lives on the battlefield and fought bloody battles in order to realize the world of Huang Tian. Should they be discarded when they are useless?

Xu An couldn't do it, and he couldn't do it.

However, the Yellow Turban Army's finances were helpless, and Xu An was asked to give large sums of money and food to these soldiers who retreated from the front line due to injuries.

Xu An couldn't even pay too much for the pensions of the soldiers who died in battle.

The agricultural tax collected this year has only just reached a balance of payments, and most of the Yellow Turban Army needs to gnaw on their old foundations and gnaw on the money they won from powerful families to maintain.

There is no such thing as salary in the Yellow Turban Army. During the five years from the first year of Zhongping to the fifth year of Zhongping, there was no such thing as a salary for generals including Liu Pi and Gong Du, whether they were military commanders or ordinary soldiers.

But in this world, it is not easy to have a place to settle down, to be fed and clothed.

Following Xu An's footsteps and Huang Tian's footsteps, they walked towards victory step by step, and their lives gradually improved.

Those Han soldiers who originally had salaries didn't have too many complaints about things without salaries. Their salaries were only a little, and their lives were a bit unsustainable.

But now that they have joined the Yellow Turban Army, they no longer need to worry about the pressure of life. Their families have joined the Mintun army. The Yellow Turban Army will not just sit back and watch their wives and children have nothing to eat. They are allocated fields and farm tools.

And the regulations in the Yellow Turban Army are very clear. The military achievements you gain on the battlefield will never be swallowed up. If you hold the enemy's head, you can exchange it for fertile land, and you can exchange it for money and food.

I will no longer be corrupted, ignored or robbed, and I will not be superior, as if being scolded by superior officials.

The preparation of the police station was already in Xu An's plan, so the earliest literacy classes were set up in the wounded barracks.

Wounded soldiers with more serious injuries and higher degrees of disability were assigned to do some civilian work.

Wounded soldiers with lesser injuries were assigned to front-line jobs, but they were generally of the management type, such as patrol captains, training officers, and the like.

The Jinyang Police Department was formally established under such circumstances.

Most of the first batch of police officers were selected from the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army, and a small part were recruited from the original residents.

After the establishment of the Police Department, it began to take over the defense of Jinyang City and the task of maintaining law and order step by step from the hands of the Yellow Turban Army.

Because it was still in its infancy stage, Xu An did not directly promote the police system, but started from Jinyang, and then gradually promoted to Taiyuan County, Bingzhou, and other states and counties.

Governing a big country is like cooking small fish.

Now the territory under Xu An's rule is no longer the original [-]-mile Taihang with tens of thousands of soldiers, nor is it just a small area of ​​Shangdang County with tens of thousands of people.

Under the current rule of the Yellow Turban Army, there are nearly [-] million people and [-] troops, occupying [-] counties and [-] cities.

During this period of time, the residents of Jinyang City have also begun to adapt to the existence of the police. Because of the existence of the police, the law and order in Jinyang City has not become chaotic due to the withdrawal of the Yellow Turban Army, and the order has not been destroyed because of this, but it has become more and more serious. Stablize.

The west gate of Jinyang City was bustling with people at this time, and lanterns gathered together to form a sea of ​​lights.

"Please stand on the sides of the street, not near the center."

Holding a long stick and wearing a dark blue military uniform, the police shouted loudly and led the crowd to disperse to both sides.

"Tap Tat Tat—"

The sound of orderly footsteps came from not far away, and groups of Yellow Turban soldiers with ring-headed knives poured into the city.

With a Yanling saber straddling his waist, the Yinglang Wei Tiqi in the eagle wolf uniform watched the crowd with cold eyes, examining the suspicious-looking people in the crowd.

A rush of horseshoes came from outside the city, and a deafening cheer broke out among the crowd gathered at the west gate of Jinyang.

"Long live!"

The sound of horseshoes was getting closer and closer, and a group of yellow-turban cavalry in bright armor entered Jinyang City first, and louder cheers sounded.

The khaki-colored banners fluttered in the wind, and everyone in Jinyang City raised their arms and shouted towards the city gate.

"Welcome to the great virtuous teacher!"

A group of soldiers and police officers who maintained order also lowered their heads at this time, and saluted respectfully in the direction of the city gate.

With a smile on his face, Xu An drove his horses slowly through the corridor of the city gate.

What came into view was a sea of ​​lanterns. At this time, the sky was almost completely dark, and the moon could not be seen on New Year's Eve, but Xu An illuminated the way forward with each lantern.

Xu Huang, Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, Zhang Yan and others followed behind Xu An, looking at the scene in front of them, they were also slightly dazed.

There was no need for them to light the lamps and light the torches; there was already light to light their way.

A citizen with a yellow scarf on his head raised a lantern in his hand, trying to let as much light as possible into the center of the street.

Pedestrians on both sides of the street raised the lanterns in their hands together. Although the light emitted by the lanterns in their individual hands was weak, when the light from thousands of lanterns gathered together, they still illuminated the road. brightly lit.

Xu An turned his head to look to the side, and there were dots of lamps on the roads on both sides.

Xu Huang, Lu Bu and the others also involuntarily slowed down their horses.

"Taiping Road!"

Suddenly a cry broke out from the crowd, like a spark falling into a barrel full of gunpowder.

Immediately afterwards, there was a burst of cheers that suppressed the clouds, and it burst out from the crowd on both sides of the street.

"Long live!!"

The powerful families in Bingzhou were almost wiped out by Xu An, and the few remaining families were all extremely honest.

Now the residents in Jinyang City are no longer the original residents, some of them are the families of the Yellow Turban Army.

There are also some people who were at the bottom of Jinyang City before. The arrival of the Yellow Turban Army rescued them from the oppression of the powerful family.

The Yellow Turban Army gave them dignity and gave them the hope of living, so that they would not sell their children or daughters, and they would not sell themselves into slavery, and they could have a full meal.

So when they received the news that Xu An would enter Jinyang City from the west gate of Jinyang at dusk on New Year's Eve, they all gathered and went to the west gate to welcome Xu An into the city.

"Taiping Dao, long live!!"

Xu An has seen countless scenes of cheering.

He has experienced the battles of Guangzong and Xiaquyang. From Fenshui to Zhangshui, he has heard the cheers of thousands of soldiers.

But there has never been a time when Xu An's heart was surging more than this time.

Deep and loud cheers came from the crowd on both sides, and it lasted for a long time.

The sky is full of stars, although there is no moonlight, but there are countless stars.

In Jinyang City, lanterns were raised one after another. Although the light was dim, it was as bright as the Milky Way.

"The sky is dead, Huang Tian stands!"

Xu An raised his right arm, clenched his fist tightly, and shouted loudly.

"Follow the sky and follow the righteousness, and enjoy the peace!!"

There was even louder cheers, hundreds of people and soldiers raised their arms and shouted towards Xu An.

"The sky is dead, Huang Tian should stand, follow the sky and follow the righteousness, and enjoy peace!!!"

With the light of thousands of lanterns, Xu An walked along the street towards the government office in Jinyang City.

The soldiers and people on both sides bowed their heads and saluted, and some even knelt on the ground.

There is nothing better than eating a pot of pulp to welcome the king's teacher.

These ordinary people are illiterate, these ordinary people are extremely ignorant in the eyes of some people, these ordinary people do not understand any major principles, and do not have any too lofty ideals.

But they know in their hearts who is good to them.

Only those who the people care about, the people will hold him high.

Xu An led the horse under his seat and moved forward slowly.

Just when he arrived outside the government office in Jinyang City, he saw an unusually familiar figure in the middle of the street.

Yan Zhong was wearing a Yuqing wishful crown and a Qingjuan Daoist robe. Behind him stood a man with the same gray beard and hair as him, and a slightly fatter figure. That man was the Minister of Foreign Affairs Pang Bo.

Fu Qi is in charge of immigration affairs in Shangdang County, and he is very busy. Yang Ji is also busy with immigration affairs in Taiyuan County, and he already lives in Yangyi.

Without any hesitation, Xu An got off his horse and rushed up to meet him.

"The wind is severe and cold, why did the military division and Duke Pang come out?"

Xu An stepped forward and said helplessly that he had already told Yan Zhong before that there was no need to welcome him.

"Is this also arranged by the military division?"

Xu An pointed to the people and soldiers who were welcoming along the way.

Yan Zhong laughed and said, "I did not arrange this, but I did spread the news that you are going to enter the city."

"I did arrange the soldiers and the police, but it was because there were too many people who greeted you."

Yan Zhong said with emotion, looking at the welcome crowd, Xu An's popularity within the Yellow Turban Army was increasing day by day.

Meng school, land tax, stability of order, restoration of law and order, public trial conference, elimination of evil and rape, and elimination of rangers.

Bingzhou is no longer the former Bingzhou.

The Xiongnu surrendered, even their names were removed, and Wuhuan returned to him, proclaiming himself a minister, and the border troubles that had plagued Bingzhou for many years were gone.

Yan Zhong said: "I thought you would only arrive in Jinyang next year, and you would spend more time in the Taihang workshop. I have already ordered the saddle-style fastening method to be taught, and now all the baggage teams are using saddles. It is indeed a lot better than the original one, has the arrangement of the four-wheeled carriage been made, should it be trial-produced?"

Xu An smiled helplessly, and said, "Let's go in and talk about it. Hua Tuo is going to Shangdang County first. If he catches a cold or something, it won't be easy to treat."

"The four-wheeled carriage has already been trial-manufactured, and the blueprints have been drawn. Now several secret workshops in the Taihang Mountains are being produced. After they are fully perfected, they can be used for military use."

Everyone walked towards the gate of the government office together. The voices outside the city did not subside, and they were still in a state of turmoil.

Xu An shook his head, smiled wryly and said, "This time the commotion is a bit loud."

It's night again, and people are gathering again, a careless move can easily cause commotion, Xu An intends to let the crowd disperse, but in this situation, it's hard to say.

Yan Zhong didn't take it seriously, and said: "Send more people and pay attention to safety. It's just a test of the response ability of the newly established police force in Jinyang City. Otherwise, it's just small troubles and nothing can be seen at all. "

"If you gain the way in the world, and if you gain the people, you will gain the world. What the people want is the trend of the world. It is good to eat pots of pulp to welcome the king and teacher."

With piercing eyes, Yan Zhong said loudly.

"The Duke of Ming established the Dingding and Bingzhou, established the Xiongnu in the north, subdued Wuhuan, borrowed the yellow scarves of the four states to rise again, and set off a huge wave, which is unmatched by the world. The hearts of the people of Bingzhou have been determined, and they all have hearts for Minggong."

"The building is about to fall, but our army is getting stronger and stronger. Since the people's support is available, why not use it?"

"Eat pots of rice to welcome the king. Duke Ming knows that the people of Bingzhou are attached, but many people in our Yellow Turban Army are still confused about the future. They think that we have no ability to overthrow the Han Dynasty, and they think that we have no way to win the victory." .”

Yan Zhong stopped, stopped at the gate of the Jinyang City Government Office, turned around, looked at the people still standing on the street, and said slowly.

"That's why, when Duke Ming returned to the city, he announced to the entire army that the people of Bingzhou have turned to Duke Ming, and the people of Bingzhou have turned to me for peace. Today's events will be spread throughout Bingzhou, and then throughout the world."

"Those who are confused in my Yellow Turban Army will no longer be confused, and those who are timid in my Yellow Turban Army will no longer be timid. Those in my Yellow Turban Army will be full of confidence."

Yan Zhong turned his head to look into Xu An's eyes, and said solemnly.

"They will firmly believe that the world of Huang Tian will definitely come true!!"
