Chapter 111 Stability (fourth update)

The chaotic night passed, when the first ray of sunlight in the morning broke through the darkness and shone in Sihong City, many people hid in their houses and observed the movement outside through cracks in the doors.

I saw the ex-Qin soldiers holding knives and guns in the brigade on the street, led by several soldiers who were dressed completely differently from the former Qin, surrounded a certain house, broke into the door, and then quickly pushed out several disorderly soldiers hiding in the house.

In the room where the door was opened, puddles of blood and the corpses of several common people could be seen faintly on the ground.

"The general has an order that the people in the city will reward fifty catties of food for reporting the rioters!"

"The rebellious soldiers voluntarily abandon their weapons and surrender, and the crime will be reduced. If they resist to the end, they will harm the people and will not be spared!"

On the street, soldiers shouted along the street.

As the rebels hiding in the city were reported and found one by one, Sihong City seemed to be much more stable.

There are also civil servants leading a team of soldiers to post a list to calm the people in a prominent place on the street, announcing that in order to maintain the stability of Sihong, the city is temporarily under military control.

The people should not go out if they have nothing to do, and special soldiers deliver rations every day.

When the civil servants and soldiers come to re-register and register, the military control will be lifted.

When many people heard the news, their eyes lit up slightly.

First search and arrest the rebels, then set up a list to calm the people, rectify the city, organize all households... As long as this set of policies is implemented from top to bottom, Sihong will be firmly controlled by the other party.

There are more than [-] people in Sihong City, and among them there are at least several hundred people who can read and write.Most of these people are scholars or businessmen from various dynasties and generations.

People who can read are naturally not so stupid, and there are many well-informed people among them.

Like Bu Zhi, they all knew that Liang Cheng's former Qin forces were not wise.

During this period of time, they were all waiting and watching. On the surface, they were the big and small civil servants in the city, and they had no intention of working for the former Qin Dynasty in their hearts.

What Wang Jing did after breaking the city was always noticed by these people.

Once they find out that Wang Jing is a cruel and violent person like Sun Ru, they will definitely abscond in groups. Now, they see that Wang Jing is orderly and organized, so they are very optimistic about Wang Jing.

The breeze is slight.

In the courtyard where the general Xingyuan is located, there is a path paved with cobblestones, and there are trees and flowers beside it that many civil servants and generals moved to please Liang Cheng when the city was built.

Behind the Xingyuan, there is a pool of spring water.

The seemingly simple city, but inside the general's camp, there are pavilions, towers, arch bridges, and rockeries.The water in the pool is quiet, and it leads to the moat outside along a small stream.

The water gate of the moat leads to Sishui of the Bianhe River, that is to say, the small pool of the general Xingyuan extends into the Bianhe River, which is a pool of flowing water.

It can be seen that the generals and civil servants who built the general's palace, as well as the craftsmen's intentions.

At this time, the general's camp was very lively.

One by one, the clerks hurried into the gate and reported the situation in the city to Wang Jing in the front yard. Beside Wang Jing, Bu Zhi and Fan Yin assisted in handling various matters.

After these Xingyuan officials who surrendered for their lives left, Wang Jing was slightly relieved.

"How is the situation now?"

Wang Jing asked.

Fan Yin quickly replied: "The subordinates have ordered people to take over the four city gates. General Mai Qianhu and General Li Kaifang led the cavalry to garrison the barracks, guarding more than 3000 prisoners!"

"Si Xingfang and Lin Hu led 300 troops to hunt down the defeated soldiers in the city, and the situation in the city has been stabilized!"

Wang Jing nodded slightly, his thoughts floating.

Before taking Sihong, he had only 400 elite headquarters, plus Li Kaifang's 800, the total number did not exceed [-].

And now.

Bu Zhi and Si Xingfang brought more than 300 people, and 2000 more honest people were drawn from the captives as assistants.

There are about [-] people he can mobilize now.

"My people only account for one-tenth of the 3000 people. We must dispatch the follow-up troops from East Lake as soon as possible!"

Wang Jing knew the current situation well.

He defeated Liang Yun and saved Li Kaifang's life, but Li Kaifang and the Taiping Army would not follow him because of this. The two sides jointly attacked Sihong, but each took what they needed.

As for the captured soldiers in Sihong City and the more than 2000 soldiers and horses who took refuge here, they can only make do with it in a short period of time, and let them maintain order in the city.

"Good job, what about the other seizures?"

Wang Jing asked.

Fan Yin said: "More than 26 weapons were seized in this battle, [-] pieces of armor, [-] bows and crossbows, [-] horses, and countless other gold, silver and jewels... The most important food and grass, a total of [-] shi. "

Wang Jing's eyes lit up immediately, and Bu Zhi beside him couldn't help but raise his head when he heard this.

Horses, weapons, armor, bows and crossbows!These are military weapons that can make Wang Jing's East Lake Army grow rapidly, but more importantly, it is food and grass.

If there is not enough food and grass, the more than [-] people in the city will become a huge burden.

Wang Jing stored a lot of food and grass in East Lake, but these food and grass could not support 10,000+ people at all.Before sending out troops, Wang Jing never expected that he would be able to take down Sihong directly.

Not ready to sit on more than [-] Dingkou.

If there is not enough food and grass in Sihong City this time, more than [-] people will definitely starve to death.

This is not in line with Wang Jing's original intention.

"I didn't expect Liang Cheng to leave so much food, it really surprised me!"

Wang Jing said with emotion.

"Fan Yin, go and send a message, let Tian Liangyun take charge of the affairs of Donghu County, Zhu Wu is in charge of building the city, and ask Mr. Shen Yi to select a thousand guards and five hundred soldiers to come to Sihong quickly!"

The Donghu Army originally had a strength of about [-], including [-] soldiers.

However, East Lake, as Wang Jing's foundation, needs to be guarded by soldiers and horses. When Wang Jing deploys troops, he tries his best not to affect East Lake.

Fan Yin took the order to leave.

Bu Zhi pondered for a while, and said: "General, Sihong is connected to Yangzhou in the east and Xiapi in the north. The waterways extend in all directions and the land is fertile. It is the place where heroes can use their talents!"

"If the general wants to sweep all directions, the East Lake seems to be a bit insufficient!"

He didn't sleep all night.

While assisting Wang Jing to deal with the affairs in Sihong City, he also learned more about East Lake through reports from soldiers of the East Lake Army and Fan Yin.

Before knowing Wang Jing, he was just an ordinary person, but he was able to defeat a powerful enemy in just half a year, with more than six thousand soldiers.While constantly mobilizing troops, it can also resettle refugees, reclaim farmland, and deal with civil affairs.

There was some shock in his heart.

The more he knew about Wang Jing and the Donghu Army, the more satisfied Bu Zhi felt.

He originally had relatively low expectations for Wang Jing, but after finding out that the other party exceeded his expectations, he naturally had more recognition for Wang Jing.

At least.

He has now started to think about things on the side of Wang Jing and the East Lake Army.

"Sir, you want to say, let me take Sihong as the foundation?"

Wang Jing said.
