Take the system back to the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 219

Wang Xiu's [-] troops have officially besieged the city for two days.

It's a pity that Wang Xiu only tried two waves of attacks, the effect was almost zero, and he didn't wait until the expected death squad broke through the city gate and let the army enter the city.

As a result, Liu Qishan, who was guarding the city, was a little confused. Did Wang Xiu stop attacking for two days?
Send someone to ask Zhao Cheng: Why didn't he attack anymore.

Zhao Cheng personally wrote back to Liu Qishan: You ask me, I will ask who to go, just remember the mission when you are on duty, and deal with the rest as usual.If you have a righteous mind, you will win the war.

Khan, Zhao Cheng seems to be talking nonsense and exaggerating the facts, but there is nothing he can do if he doesn't believe him.

At the same time, it is also very strange. After accepting Zhao Cheng's words, every time I saw the five-year-old girl general Liang Hongyu on the top of the city, she was wearing a tiger-headed hat and holding a wooden knife, and she also took her wooden horse. Put it aside and say that it is here to direct the battle.

So everyone laughed, and there was a tacit understanding with confidence and love.

Now Zhao Cheng is not at the top of the city, but Liang Hongyu is on behalf of Zhao Cheng to give everyone confidence at the top of the city.

This is useful.It's not just Liang Hongyu's role, Zhao Cheng's behind-the-scenes speeches are also very important.

Because Zhao Cheng understands very well that the thinking of the ancient people was blocked, and the living circle was too small. In fact, many people "born and died together" within a hundred miles, so the concept of circle and homeland is very important to them. especially important.

As long as it is based on their needs, and then focus on publicizing and announcing Wang Xiu's past methods and actions, and Liang Hongyu represents confidence at the top of the city.

In this way, the resistance of the people in the city can be aroused.

This is why Zhao Cheng was able to mobilize the masses in a short time. First of all, he had to know their thoughts and psychological needs.

After several campaign-like speeches and brainwashing, and his past affinity and performance, Zhao Cheng's current commander-in-chief status has been brought about.

How popular is Zhao Cheng?
For example, now a subordinate says, "An old lady asks to see her."

Originally, it was Lao Pei who wanted to drive away and not add to the chaos.

But Zhao Cheng still said, "Please come in, old man."

puff--

When the old woman came in, she threw two kilograms of dried fish on the table, said a few words and left.

This was the fish that the old lady had dried in the river last summer. There wasn't much of the dried fish she had saved. Her grandson was clamoring for food every day, but the old lady said that Chizhou City was in urgent need of supplies, so she sent them over without waiting. Zhao Cheng turned around and walked away in response.

Lao Pei and Zhao Cheng couldn't help opening their mouths halfway, looking at the old woman's back, they could still hear her grandson clamoring for dried fish, but the dried fish was placed on the county government's table.

No one can understand it, but this is Zhao Cheng's popularity.

If you want to go to the market entrance in the east of the city now, you can see those little girls with croissant braids skipping rope or kicking shuttlecock, because they believe that Zhao Cheng will have a way to hold it, and the rebels can't get in.

In addition, the group of stray yellow dogs at Guanshikou in the west of the city is still wandering, which proves that there are still people trading in the market, and there is no chaos. Otherwise, if there is no one and nothing, the yellow dogs will not go.

Regardless of that era, the poor are a very powerful group.

Basically, there are some extremely difficult families. A group of people only have one pair of pants, and whoever goes out wears them.But the little kid couldn't stay at home, and always wanted to run out to play, so after my brother put on his pants and went out to work, he occasionally saw a few naked kids playing snowball fights in the south of the city.

Now that the rebels were besieging the city, there were naked children playing in the city, so Lao Pei, who was passing by, almost fell down, and was finally arrested on charges of indecentness, and his family came to pick him up.

However, Zhao Cheng ordered the brats to be let go, and bought out the cloth in the shops in the north of the city with official white slips, announcing that all bare-boned people would come to receive five-foot cloth from each household.

As a result, there was a lot of traffic outside the county government office, and a long queue formed.

Some of them came from Mongolia, but Zhao Cheng ordered them to be invisible, and send them as long as they lined up.

The cloth is not heavy, and the cost is actually very low, but those who are still willing to get the cloth now show that they have confidence in the future.

Well, Cai You has completely ignored the cotton cloth boss' complaints against Zhao Cheng. Their reason is: buy and sell by force.

Zhao Cheng's behavior was spending the government's finances recklessly. After the war, there will definitely be a lot of mess, but he can't take care of it.

Cai You is now only busy racking his brains to fabricate "About the Reasons for Refugees to Enter the City".

This is written for the imperial court and the emperor. In theory, prohibiting refugees from entering the city during a special period is generally an iron law and a red line, and local officials have no right to make this decision.What's more, the dismissal of the refugees was the decision of Zhang Shangying, the special envoy of the imperial court at that time.

As a treacherous minister, Cai You is now planning for a rainy day, this is not a joke.It's a pity that at that time, Pei Yancheng and Zhao Cheng, two bastards, made a decision on such an important issue.

In fact, the so-called prohibition of entering the city is to prevent the killing of local tyrants and distribution of supplies.

It's a pity that Zhao Cheng took the initiative to take the lead in buying other people's cloth when he was already able to control the masses. If there was no prerequisite for refugees to enter the city, Zhao Cheng would not even buy it, even if he robbed and robbed the cloth shop owner and his family Cai You, he would not bother to ask.

However, now that Cai You is being put on fire, she has no choice but to bite the bullet and wipe Zhao Cheng's ass.

The main reason is that if Zhang Shangying does not die, and Chizhou is finally defeated, when the temple is liquidated, then all the moths who are usually not important will be sins.

Khan, these are Cai You's strengths, but on the other hand, he can't do anything else.This is what Cai Wenji said.

The memorial was written in vain. Madam Cai thought that the rebels were besieging the city now, so even if the treacherous father wrote these, he would not be able to send them out.Even the news about Chizhou Pills may not be known to the court through other channels until a month later.

However, just because Cai Wenji thought so, she appeared weak.

Cai You is not a saint, so he absolutely likes to pretend to be a saint at critical moments.

Of course he knew that he couldn't send these things out after writing them.But he still wrote, every day, one by one, like a diary. In addition to recording Mr. Cai's concern for the country and the people under the siege of the rebels, he also vaguely revealed in the lines "not seeking to be informed." The concept of "in the court".

Khan, Cai You, as a calligrapher and painter, of course knows how to use the characteristics of paper and ink to reveal that these memorials were written at different times.In this way, in the future, those old masters who are proficient in calligraphy and ink in the imperial court can really confirm that this is under the siege of the rebels, and Cai You's mood changes every day worrying about the country and the people...
