The Prime Minister's Wife

Chapter 602 Conquering the hearts of the people (2)
"This is a good idea. Coral is getting better and better, and she knows my heart more and more." Bo Qing generously praised, and it is true that Coral knows her best.

The two of them walked around, and just turned back to the tent, Zhuyue suddenly came forward to greet him: "Master, the new city lord of Qingcheng sent someone to ask for help, but when the people in the city saw the army dispatched, they knew it was to attack Luocheng. They besieged the government office one after another, threatening not to attack the city."

"Crossing the river and tearing down the bridge." Coral said angrily.

"Crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, the coral is very vivid!" Said with a thin smile, "Go, let's go and see." Such a lively event, if you don't see it, you will miss the good show of the arrangement.

In Qingcheng, countless ordinary people took hoes, shovels, and poles to block the road leading to the government office.

Li Jun, the new city lord, paced back and forth anxiously in the government office.

If it's an ordinary riot, he can have someone suppress it, but it's obvious that someone outside is secretly instigating the people, and if the people behind the scenes are not found out, it may be difficult to quell the riot.

"Folks, we are the people of Daqi, and Luocheng also has our relatives. Luocheng was captured, and military disasters are inevitable. Can you bear to see them go through the same pain as us?" A man stood in the mansion. In front of the gate of the yamen, he shouted with generosity and indignation.

"Think about how we live in the valley. We can't eat enough, we can't wear warm clothes, we can only drink the dirty water in the pond, and we can only wait for death when we are sick. Who is this? Bring us, is God punishing us?"

"No, absolutely not."

Another man cried out immediately, and said loudly: "It is the wolf ambition of the Chinese Empire to invade our land, destroy our home, and kill our compatriots. Now they are attacking the city again. Our relatives, our compatriots, and to suffer."

"Do you have the heart?"

"Are you willing to be subjugated slaves?"

"Are you willing to be humiliated?"

"No, I don't want to, no matter what you think, at least I don't want to."

"I'm not afraid of death, but I don't want my compatriots, my relatives to die, so I am willing to stop the Chinese army with my flesh and blood."

Sitting on the teahouse opposite the government office, Bao Qing listened to the generous statement outside, and smiled in amazement: "Listen, he wants to stop our 50 army with flesh and blood, how brave and fearless he is! "

"Master, do you want your subordinates to go down..." Zhuyue made a killing motion.

"No, you take my purple sword back to the barracks and send 3 people over here." Boqing looked outside with great interest, crossed the river and demolished it, and after a while they didn't even have to demolish the bridge.

"Master, what are we doing now? Go down and expose them." After Zhuyue left, Coral said excitedly.

"Drink tea." Bao Qing raised his glass as a gesture, and when he heard that the coral was wilting, Bo'er couldn't help laughing.

Seeing Shan Shan's appearance, she hooked her fingers with a flirtatious smile, Shan Shan immediately approached her ear, and whispered softly: "Go and give a message to City Lord Li."

Bo Qing lightly confessed to Shan Shan, and Shan Shan said excitedly: "Master, don't worry, this servant will definitely complete the task."

While no one was paying attention, he jumped out of the window and sneaked into the government office.

In front of the gate of the government office, the more people talked, the more excited they became, and more and more people gathered outside, and more and more people responded to the call. The ignorant people were the most likely to be deceived.

Those voices shouting to overthrow the Chinese Empire and drive out the enemy bandits resounded over the sky of Qingcheng. If the momentum said that they were about to start an uprising, some people would definitely believe it.

Seeing that the atmosphere was similar, Zhuyue drove over with 3 horses.

Bo Qing said with a smile: "Bo'er, let's go."

In front of the gate of the mansion, a man dressed as a nobleman said: "Go, now we will stop the Chinese army and drive them out of our land."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a rush of people in the crowd, and a passage was forcibly separated in the middle. A luxurious carriage was slowly approaching the exit of the street.

Bo Qing slowly got off the carriage and walked step by step to the gate of the government office. With her skirts on her side, she stood with the group of aspiring young people who spoke generously and indignantly. Great people, an invisible deterrence slowly suppressed.

Having been together in the valley, everyone is no stranger to the veiled fickleness in front of them, but for some reason, they have an inexplicable awe of the woman in front of them.

The corners of his lips twitched slightly, and he said with a flirtatious smile: "How come you are so excited to see this hall come in person, you even forgot the ceremony."

"Bah, you are the princess of that sect." One of the young masters said.

"This son is a citizen of Daqi, how can he kneel down to the princess." Another son said arrogantly.

"A few days ago, when I was eating steamed buns and drinking medicine to cure my illness, why didn't I see you say, I am a citizen of Daqi, and I don't eat your Chinese food." Bo'er sneered with a half-smile.

The faces of the two young masters suddenly darkened, and one of them said coldly: "Your things were also looted from the homes of ordinary people in Qingcheng, why should I not eat or drink?"

A look of disdain immediately appeared on Bo'er's face, and she said with a slight smile: "Fellow folks, this son said that the things the princess gave you were found from your homes, so everyone should say in good conscience, after you go home , is there something missing in the house, something broken."

Ever since the death of Emperor Hades, Emperor Father has immediately ordered Lu Yi to stop all killings. After the siege, he must not disturb the people or trespass on the houses. Those people were frightened by the events in the previous cities, and fled before the army arrived. In fact, everything All remain as they are.

As soon as the unfeeling words came out, many people below immediately hesitated, as if they were thinking about whether they had lost anything in their homes.

As for the young masters who had been standing in front of the gate of the government office, speaking impassionedly, they saw that the people below were hesitating, showing a hint of impatience on their faces.

Seeing the indifferent woman next to her who was suddenly crowned, one of them stood up and said, "Then I dare to ask the princess, what do you mean by bringing an army into the city? Are you trying to suppress us?"

"Suppression, it's not that serious." She said with a thin smile, looked at the hesitant people below, and said with a slight smile: "You don't need this princess to personally lead the army to suppress your small troubles. .”

"Then what do you mean?" The people in front of the gate were visibly anxious.Small fights, does she not care at all?Or can she settle it?
"The purpose of this princess to lead troops into the city is to give everyone a chance to choose." She is not in a hurry, she said, she has always followed the eight words: the strong are respected, and prosperity is reversed.

"What chance?" One of the young masters asked, and the common people also waited eagerly.

Boqing smiled and said very charmingly: "Qingcheng has been captured by my Huaxia army. Unless the Daqi army has the ability to take it back, this is the land of my Huaxia Dynasty. I want to live on the land of my Huaxia Dynasty. , you have to be a citizen of China, abide by the laws of China, and respect the royal family of China, otherwise..."

"Otherwise what?" The young masters looked at Bo Qing anxiously.

"Otherwise, this princess will confiscate your land, drive you out of the country, and drive you out of Huaxia." Looking at the people below with a thin smile.

Xiao Jintian once said that the land is the life of the common people, and it is what they rely on for survival. Confiscating their land is more terrible than taking their lives, so this is also their key point.

The ruthless blow also hit their vitals. Sure enough, the faces of the people below gradually changed, and there were struggles on their faces. There seemed to be two voices arguing with each other in their hearts.

Land, nationality, which one should they choose.

It seems that both are important, but if you really think about it, it seems that the land is more important.

Looking at the hesitant people, he smiled affectionately: "Those who choose to be my Chinese people, go home now, because the war a while ago has delayed the spring sowing, and this princess has already sent a memorial to His Majesty Emperor Shang, so I don't need to go to Qingcheng." As well as the annual taxes of the previous twelve cities, the imperial court will also give you subsidies to help you get through this year's predicament."

Seeing that the people were still struggling, Bo'er shouted anxiously: "Why are you still hesitating, as long as the land is still there, even if someone is in danger, cut off the bridge cables and leave you alone, you can support yourself and rely on yourself. "

Hearing the words, the corners of her lips curled into a faint smile, and she had to say that Bo'er was a bit like herself, and she liked to expose other people's scars.

The Daqi court chose to cut off the bridge cables and abandon the people to protect themselves. This was their worst choice, and it was also the most painful memory in the common people's memory.

As the saying goes, the deeper the love, the deeper the hurt, the deeper the hatred...

Sure enough, when the matter of cutting off the bridge cables was mentioned, the struggle on the faces of ordinary people seemed to ease a lot in an instant.

They will never forget that when the bridge cable was cut off, there were still many people on the bridge who had no time to go back.

As soon as the bridge cable was broken, those people fell into the Qingluo River one after another, and were swept away by the rushing water in the blink of an eye.

There are also the hard days in the valley, the days of lack of food and sleep, anxiety, and trembling, like paintings, flashing before their eyes, which they will never forget.

The people of Daqi, Daqi has always cared about them, and even abandoned them in the end.

When they were in the most difficult time, the princess of Huaxia took people into the mountains regardless of the difficulty of the mountain road, and gave them food and clothing.

When they were dying of illness, she was also the princess of Huaxia. Regardless of their own safety, she personally diagnosed and treated them, found a doctor for them, made medicine for them, found out a cure, let them go back to the city with peace of mind, and spared them a lifetime. annual tax.

Suddenly an uncle carrying a hoe said: "Back then, Da Qi didn't want us. Now that I am a citizen of Huaxia, I, Li Daniu, am not ashamed of my ancestors, nor of the world. I'd better go back and hoe the ground."

"Yes, it's Da Qi who doesn't want us first."

"The officials in Daqi don't care about Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu doesn't care about him either. I'll dig the ground."

"War is a matter of being a soldier. We ordinary people are in charge of farming, and I don't want to join in the fun."

The common people gathered together suddenly, and dispersed suddenly. Of course, many people stayed behind and chose to be the people who continued Daqi.

Seeing that they stayed where they were and did not leave, Baoqing still smiled and said with a self-restraint: "Since you have chosen to be the people of Daqi, this hall will not make things difficult for you. Go back and pack your things, and gather at the city gate before dark."

Looking back, Li Jun, the city lord who appeared in front of the gate, said: "City lord Li, tell the whole city about the words of this hall. Anyone who is unwilling to give up the nationality of Daqi must gather at the city gate before dark, and someone will escort them to the gate. When we arrive at the Qingluo River, we will be able to cross the river smoothly at noon tomorrow. If anyone is unwilling to give up his Daqi nationality and insists on staying in the city, he will be dealt with as an enemy spy."

"The minister obeys the order!"

With a flirtatious glance, the stunned young masters smiled and said: "Tell your master, he doesn't understand the people very much, so he failed."

Back at the barracks, Chase Xing, who had been guarding the tent all the time, greeted him excitedly and said, "Master, Mrs. Liu has finally nodded and is willing to be a hero."

Hearing this, a charming smile bloomed on Boqing's lips, those who know current affairs are heroes, not bad!
