The heavens start from saving Daming

Chapter 348

Songzhou is on the edge of Bianzhou, and the two places are connected. It is only three hundred miles from Junyi County to Songcheng County.

These two states are rich places, the land is very fertile after thousands of years of development, and the transportation is developed and the rivers are convenient, supporting a large number of people.

If there is any famous person, that is, there was a man named Zhao Kuangyin decades later, who served as the Jiedu envoy of the German army here.

It is also because of this that after becoming the emperor, the country was named Song.

Now, Zhao Kuangyin's grandfather, Zhao Jing, is still serving as the governor of Zhuozhou.His father, Zhao Hongyin, let alone piss and mud, is still in a liquid state.

Datang 360 states, more than [-] counties.

But the ones that can really be called feudal towns, that is, there are only more than forty ones with Jiedushi.

The remaining more than 300 states are either defense envoys, observation envoys, economic envoys, or simply group training or something.

And Songzhou belongs to the most common type, that is, ordinary Minzhou, which has no governor but only a governor.

After Li Longji's restructuring, when the state was established, the boss of a state was the governor.

When a county was established, the head of a county was the prefect.

The governor and the prefect are mutual names.

The current governor of Songzhou is Zhang Rui, a typical civil servant of the Tang Dynasty.

The civil servants of the Tang Dynasty were not the so-called scholars who only kowtowed in the later Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Although it is far inferior to that in the early Tang Dynasty, it is still possible to slash people with a sword when mounted on a horse, govern a place when dismounted, sit on a Confucian robe and discuss Taoism, and take off the Confucian robe to convince people with virtue.

Zhang Rui governed Songzhou fairly well, at least barely preserved the people under his rule in this troubled world.

He has pulled out a local team through group training. It is definitely not good to go out to fight, but it is very powerful to protect his hometown.

Looking up at this regiment, in the face of harassment from all directions, they managed to barely protect the people.

Of course, this is mainly because the nearby big towns are busy with their own affairs and have not dispatched the main force.

If, like Li Yunze at this time, he personally brought more than ten thousand elite soldiers to the expedition, those regiment trainers would naturally be vulnerable.

"How could this happen?" On the top of the city in Songcheng County, Zhang Rui looked stupidly at the regiment trainers he had sent to resist the invasion of the Xuanwu Army, and they were happily setting up camp with the Xuanwu Army to cook water and cook. .

The combat effectiveness of group training is not strong, but there are many people.

There are more than [-] people, and all of them are gone after one meeting?

Even if it is [-] pigs, it can't be caught in one day!
Zhang Rui was very angry and scolded the team trainers for not contributing to their hometown.

Unexpectedly, the group trainers, who were full of food and drink, took the initiative to go out and shouted to the defenders in the city from beyond the range of the bow and crossbow, "Li Jiedu will divide the land for me~~~ Each person will start with [-] acres. , they are all Yongye fields, not mouth-distributed fields! If you don’t go home to divide the fields, then you won’t have any

portion. "

As soon as this remark came out, the defenders on the city wall were shocked.

They are all from the village, and even many of their relatives live in and out of the city, so the credibility of their words is naturally extremely high.

Moreover, the news of the division of fields in Bianzhou had already spread to Songzhou.

In the past, there were only rumors, but now they can be regarded as confirmed by their own people.

The defenders immediately became agitated, and they were barely appeased by suppressing them and handing out generous rewards.

But it was obvious that Zhang Rui could also see that the team members defending the city had no fighting spirit.If the Xuanwu army came over at this time, they would basically be able to break through the city in one battle.

However, what puzzled him was that Li Yunze outside the city had no intention of attacking the city at all.

Not to mention the siege, even the siege equipment has not been built.

Zhang Rui really couldn't figure it out, so let's not think about it, and patrolled the city wall until it was dark, and lit torches around, and then went down to the city and went back to the governor's mansion to rest.

The people in the mansion have been waiting for a long time, and the head of the family has not returned, so no one can eat first.

There is no mention of equality, dignity, or anything else here. There is only one reason. The head of the family is responsible for the entire family, and everything from food, clothing, housing, transportation, and social status depends on the head of the family.Waiting for him to come back before eating is justified.

Open your mouth, respect, shut your mouth, equality, etc., first solve your own basic necessities and then talk about these.

During dinner, the atmosphere was a bit dignified. After all, the army outside the city besieged the city. In this era, the whole family is always going to the grave together.

After dinner in a muffled voice, Zhang Rui left several sons to discuss countermeasures in the study.

But his sons are all useless, besides encouraging himself that he will be able to hold on, his idea is not to write to the imperial court to shoot envoys to reprimand Li Yunze for retreating, or to marry his sister to the bosses of various nearby towns in exchange for reinforcements.

In any case, it was pointless to criticize Li Yunze morally, or to play the traditional skill of marrying to win allies.

Zhang Rui was so disappointed that he kicked out his sons and sighed in the study.

The reason is very simple, he knew that this time he couldn't escape.

At this time, his daughter Zhang Hui came to the study with soup, "Aye has worked hard for the people, let's have a bowl of ginseng soup first."

"Okay." Looking at his beautiful daughter, Zhang Rui smiled and took a sip of the ginseng soup.

Looking up and seeing that Zhang Hui was still there, he looked puzzled, "Is there something wrong?"

Zhang Hui hesitated for a while, but chose to say, "Yeah, the Xuanwu army is so powerful that even Huang Chao was wiped out by it. There are only more than [-] people in Songzhou city defending the city, how can they hold it."

Zhang Rui frowned upon hearing this, "What do you want to say?"

"Yeah." Zhang Hui heard the impatience in his father's words, but said it anyway, "It's better to surrender."

On one side is the world-renowned strongest army, and on the other side is the farmer who has just put down his hoe. Is there any other way out if he doesn't surrender?

Zhang Rui, who was silent for a while, shook his head and smiled wryly, "It's not that he doesn't want to surrender, but that he can't surrender."

"Then Li Yunze plundered by force, exterminated people and robbed property, and even took away the land, and then distributed it to the mud legs in the head of Guizhou. The gentlemen and celebrities in the entire Songzhou are in the city, what if I surrender them?"

Speaking of this, Zhang Rui, who was sighing for a long time, waved his hands again and again, "You don't understand, go, go."

Zhang Hui, who was puzzled, saluted and said goodbye and left. After going out, he still didn't understand, "I'm going to die, why do I care about the gentlemen and celebrities?" '

On the second day, when Zhang Rui climbed up the city wall with dark circles under his eyes, he was surprised to see many people outside holding long ropes and wooden stakes, measuring the fields piece by piece.

After the measurement is completed, a person dressed as a small official will issue a document on the spot and use a big seal.

Although the distance is relatively far, the cheers outside when the fields are divided are still clearly heard, so ear-piercing.

Zhang Rui swayed and almost fell on the top of the wall.

Although he couldn't fully understand it, he vaguely felt that this was a super big event, big enough to destroy everything!
When he finally came back to his senses, he was stunned to see that the surroundings were in chaos, and even the city gate was opened.

Familiar relatives, friends, fellow villages and even enemies outside the city have begun to divide the fields, so why are you still standing on the top of the city?
Watching them divide up all the fields, and then I have no place to stand in the future?
These folks who had just put down their hoes rushed down to the top of the city like crazy, opened the city gate and ran out in a swarm.

What Songzhou City, the life and death of the gentlemen in the city is none of my business, the most important thing is to divide the land.

Zhang Rui sat down on his buttocks, his eyes were empty and hopeless.

He finally figured it out now, Li Yunze could win the world with this move!
"Emissary." The confidants beside him stomped their feet eagerly, "I hope to quickly call every family in the city to send people and men to defend the city."

The news of the attack of Li Yunze's army came, and the local powerful families in Songzhou basically hid in the Songzhou city, which was protected by a tall city wall.

Over there, Li Yunze's army marched very slowly, and even took the initiative to divide the troops to drive the powerful family towards Zhoucheng, intentionally or unintentionally.

So at this time, the powerful families in the entire Songzhou are basically in the city.

They have money, food and people, and if they mobilize, they can gather a force of soldiers, and they won't be dragged away because of the distribution of fields outside the city.

"It's too late." The disheartened Zhang Rui shook his head again and again, "If they had the intention to send the children of the clan to the top of the city early, they wouldn't have what happened today."

The country gentry of a powerful and powerful family still has a traditional concept, let the heads of Guizhou go to war and die, and they can just eat, drink, have fun and enjoy themselves at home.

Seeing the soldiers outside the city starting to line up and slowly approaching the city gate, Zhang Rui hurriedly got up, "Hurry back to the house, and tell everyone to flee quickly!"

When Li Yunze rode his horse into the city, everything was over.

The powerful family gentry in Songzhou were basically taken over by one pot. When the soldiers rushed into each house, they didn't even know that the city had been breached.

As for these people, Li Yunze just waved his hand and asked the soldiers to take them away and deal with them, leaving them useless.

All the way to the governor's mansion, the governor's family who had fled before had all been arrested.

After all, how could it be possible for Li Yunze to let them escape so easily in such a catch-and-shoot scheme deliberately designed by Li Yunze.

Looking at the members of Zhang Rui's family kneeling on the ground in the courtyard, before Li Yunze took off his helmet and had no time to speak, Zhang Hui who was not far away looked up and called out, "I beg Li Jiedu to forgive my family. The horse is used to repay the great kindness and virtue of Jiedu."

Looking over, she was a beautiful girl.

Li Yunze asked indifferently, "Who are you?"

"The little girl's name is Zhang Hui, and she is the daughter of the governor of Songzhou."

"Zhang Hui?" Li Yunze raised his eyebrows slightly, he had seen this name before when he checked Zhu Wen's information.

After pondering for a while, Li Yunze waved his hand, "Leave her and lock up everyone else."

Before the Zhang family was taken away, they all looked at Zhang Hui with pleading eyes, begging her to serve Li Yunze well and find a way to get him out.

Controlling Songzhou is not the end, but the beginning.

For most emperors, it is enough to control the place and get the loyalty of a powerful family, to be able to collect taxes, money and food, and to get the manpower support of a powerful family to warm the bed.

But it was not enough for Li Yunze.

This is nothing more than changing the skin, and there will be another cycle after 300 years.

So Li Yunze has many things to do, the first thing is to uproot the local snakes!
