Letter of surrender?

Liu Yongchun was shocked. He looked at the letter that Lu Fuhai handed over but did not reach out to take it.

"General Lu, the Japanese pirates' surrender is a good thing and a great event. I am overjoyed, but..."

This letter should be sent to Xingji City as soon as possible. Why send it to his county governor's office?

Ha ha.

Lu Fu was sipping tea and laughing by the sea.

"Your Excellency is worrying too much. As soon as I received the letter of surrender, I immediately sent the information out via the windmill and sent someone to deliver it to Xingji City 800 miles away."

After saying this, he raised his head and glanced towards the west.

"According to the time, it should be almost time."

"As for this one, it was copied."

Liu Yongchun breathed a sigh of relief, took it and opened it.

Sure enough, there was only content on it, but no seal of the Japanese pirate emperor.

He read the contents carefully and was so angry that the veins on his forehead throbbed.

"It doesn't make sense, it really doesn't make sense."

Liu Yongchun slammed the table, his face full of anger and disdain.

"Call him the emperor at best, or just a poor barbarian at worst. Who gave him such a big face?"

"They sent troops from thousands of miles away to kill my people and invade my land. Now that they are about to be annihilated, they start to talk about the friendship between our two countries and even hope to turn hostility into friendship and let the captured Japanese pirates leave?"

As the governor of a county and a former top scholar in the imperial examination, Liu Yongchun couldn't help but swear.

"Fuck you! You really want to be beautiful."

"Master Liu is scolding me."

Lu Fuhai and others nodded in agreement.

They must have already criticized fiercely before, so they were calm and composed at this moment.

After calming down, Liu Yongchun looked a little strange.

"I wonder why you generals are here in my county governor's office?"

Lu Fuhai's face was a little gloomy, "Come to think of it, there is something I need the County Magistrate's help with."

Only after he explained it in detail did Liu Yongchun react.

Yunchui regards itself as the Celestial Empire, and has always been a magnanimous and powerful country.

When two countries are at war, even if a life-and-death struggle has already taken place, as long as the enemy raises the white flag, Yunchui will usually be lenient and resolve the war through negotiations.

The most eye-catching war happened more than forty years ago.

The empire was in danger as its neighbors besieged it.

Later, Princess Yi Guang and her husband showed their great power and led their troops to counterattack and reached the city of Nanfeng.

As a result, Prince Nanfeng went to Xingji City once, but he escaped unscathed...

It is said that the court sent relatively rational civil officials instead of military generals to the negotiations.

Lu Fuhai was well versed in history. In addition to being indignant, he hoped that Liu Yongchun, the victimized county magistrate, would stand up and compete for the position of negotiating envoy.

"This..." Liu Yongchun hesitated.

He understood Lu Fuhai's meaning and was happy to act as the envoy.

However, the transfer order has arrived, and he has to rush to Sulan City to take up his post as soon as possible, so he probably can't help.

"Lord Liu, are you having any difficulties?" Lu Fuhai was a little confused.

Liu Yongchun was about to speak when he suddenly heard footsteps outside.

A personal guard came hurriedly.

"General, news about the windmill in Xingji City."

Lu Fuhai had no choice but to stop and nodded, "Read it!"

"Yes!" The soldier responded, but he didn't say anything else until Lu Fuhai and others looked at him in surprise, and then he uttered a word.

"Forget about negotiations. The entire army will continue to attack. If the Japanese pirates dare to resist, we will destroy them."

  what?

A group of people looked at each other, doubting their own ears.

Lu Fuhai took a few steps forward, snatched the message away, and read it quickly.

After seeing the content clearly, he couldn't help laughing.

"Well, well, well, you are indeed my acquaintance." "Come here, pass on my order. If the Japanese pirates at Dinghai Wharf still dare to resist, the armies should continue to attack until they are subdued and defeated."

"Yes!" The soldier messenger had been waiting for this sentence. He responded murderously and ran away with a smile on his face.

At this time, Liu Yongchun and his group were also passing around the windmill sent by Ren Ning. Looking at the words on it, they were all at a loss whether to laugh or cry, but also felt very relieved.

Haha.

Liu Yongchun smiled, "That's good now. I have nothing to do now."

Lu Fuhai calmed down and shook his head slightly, "I still need the County Magistrate's help with something."

When the Japanese pirates broke through the Dinghai Wharf, more than 200,000 horses went ashore.

There are still about 30,000 people surrounded in the encirclement, and the rest of the Japanese pirates have either been killed or captured.

During this period, there must have been some clever Japanese pirates who saw that the situation was not good, so they took off their clothes and transformed themselves into ordinary people.

But they look similar to the people of Yunchui, and if they don’t speak, it would be difficult to tell them apart.

Lu Fuhai hopes that Liu Yongchun can find all these people.

All evil must be eradicated.

"So that's how it is." Liu Yongchun understood and his face became a little serious.

Matters such as population verification have always been the responsibility of local governments.

Lu Fuhai and others are border troops and can only assist from the sidelines but cannot take the lead.

This is national law.

In addition, Huayang County is the only superior county where Ren Ning will conduct a tax reform pilot, so there must be no problems.

Therefore, all factors that may undermine the pilot project should be identified and eliminated in the bud.

"Somebody come!"

Before he finished speaking, a minor official came in hurriedly.

"grown ups!"

Liu Yongchun knocked on the letter of surrender on the table.

"Immediately pass the news to all levels of local government offices. All county magistrates, village heads, and village guards must be notified. Within five days, no, within three days, let all the people in the county know this news."

"By the way, register the names of all the surviving people in the county. Anyone with strange behavior, no name or a special accent will be arrested first."

"understand!"

"Also, government offices at all levels must immediately organize personnel to inspect and maintain the roads and water conservancy projects in their jurisdictions. At the same time, they must prepare sufficient grain seeds and distribute them free of charge to those who are interested in farming."

Although it is the Double Ninth Festival soon, with the climate in Huayang County, many kinds of crops can still be grown even in winter.

Now that the Japanese pirates are about to be driven away, it is time for Shangdeng County to become busy again; especially the fertile fields around it, which cannot be left barren like this.

"Yes!" the clerk responded. He waited for a while, and when he saw that Liu Yongchun had no other instructions, he hurried away.

"General Lu," Liu Yongchun counted on his fingers, his brows tightened, "Huayang County is not big, but it's not small either. If we want to thoroughly investigate the entire county, I'm afraid the government offices at all levels will not have enough manpower."

Lu Fuhai spread his hands and laughed, "This is not a problem."

Now he has little in his hands, except for the soldiers.

The Japanese pirates at Dinghai Wharf have been trapped in a jar, so there is no need to worry too much. Lu Fuhai can simply assign some soldiers to follow the local officials and check on people everywhere.

Fortunately, the entire Huayang County is mostly wilderness, without many mountains and forests, so it shouldn't take too much effort to conduct a thorough investigation.

Liu Yongchun breathed a sigh of relief, "Then I would like to thank the general first."

"What are you thanking me for?" Lu Fuhai shook his head. "I'm just helping Your Highness to relieve your worries."

Haha.

Liu Yongchun stroked his beard and smiled, "General Lu, tomorrow we should change our address to Your Majesty."

"Yes," Lu Fuhai was filled with emotion.

It hasn't been easy for anyone along the way.

I hope you can achieve great things in the future.

For these ambitious local officials and generals, it was definitely a blessing worth celebrating that there was a leader with great ambitions and a clear sense of right and wrong sitting on the dragon throne.

A group of people sighed for a long time before Lu Fuhai gestured to the outside.

"Master Liu, the whole county governor's mansion has been in a commotion since we came in. The servants seem to be rummaging through something. Is something missing from the county governor's mansion?"

"No." Liu Yongchun shook his head. He did not hide anything. "I just received an appointment order from Xingji City. I have to rush to Sulan City to take up my post as soon as possible. So the servants are busy packing up."

"So that's how it is." Lu Fuhai and the others were stunned, and after coming to their senses they congratulated him.
