Fast Traveling Underworld Wish Department

Chapter 25
An Ning and his group headed south along the canal, and finally arrived at the base chosen by An Ning: Gao Ning.

Knowing An Ning's arrival, the eunuch Qin, who came to explore the way first, rushed out to welcome her.The ministers were surprised that Princess Anning had already prepared for it!

Eunuch Qin reported Gao Ning's situation to An Ning.

Gao Ninh Province has a total area of ​​30 square kilometers and has 18 prefectures, 4 states, 106 counties and several villages under its jurisdiction.The terrain is complex, the landforms are diverse, dangers can be rejected, and news is blocked.

The sky is high and the emperor is far away, and the governor in charge of military and political power is the local emperor here.

Eunuch Qin said: "Princess, this place is relatively closed, and the news of the rebels has not come in. The slaves have checked everywhere, and the people still support Daping, but Governor Gao Ning seems to have other ideas, and has been shutting the door to the slaves. .”

Li Fengxian said angrily: "Governor Gao Ning? Does he want to rebel! Princess, I will lead someone to arrest him."

An Ning said: "Let Xi Yuanwei stare at him first to see the situation."

Dong Dacheng took the order, and An Ning said again: "We must now display the banner of restoring the country as soon as possible, so that other loyal ministers who care about Daping can come and join us. Both of you must use the power of the two garden guards to monitor Gao Ning's situation , we must ensure Gao Ning's safety."

"Yes." The two took orders at the same time.

An Ning successfully played the banner of restoring the country in Gaoning.Everyone is dominated by her.Under normal circumstances, this is impossible. Since ancient times, women have been restricted from their rights. Even if An Ning is a noble princess, she is not exempt.

But the situation is special now, after all, Daping has already perished.Moreover, first of all, An Ning is the emperor's direct bloodline, apart from her, no one here is qualified to lead; second, those ministers are loyal ministers, yes, but they also need a safe place to stay, and An Ning can also give them that.

Not long after Anning played the banner, King Lu and King Qi successively played the banner of restoring the country.King Lu was also elected emperor by some ministers who successfully fled south, and his reign name was Jianping, which meant rebuilding Daping.

In addition to these Daping royal families, there are also many folks who have raised the banner of revitalizing Daping.At first glance, I thought there were many loyal ministers in Daping, but everyone knew in their hearts that most of them wanted to fish in troubled waters.

Many people who cared about Daping ran to Emperor Jianping, including the group who originally rebelled against Daping.It has to be said that it is a kind of irony that those who turned out to be rebels can now become loyal ministers.

There are fewer people who turn to Anning. I don't know if it's because the road is difficult or because Anning's appeal is not enough. There are very few people who turn to Anning.

Li Fengxian was so angry that he called those people rebellious officials and thieves, and they couldn't recognize the true Buddha.An Ning didn't mind this, the earth would turn the same without everyone, even if he only had these people on hand, wouldn't he be able to restore the country?

An Ning vigorously developed people's livelihood in Gaoning, sent people to measure the land, obtained land from wealthy landlords by force or by buying, and then leased it to ordinary people for farming, which caused the rent of the land to plummet and the lives of the people improved a lot.

Although the government has not received tax in a short period of time, it can be expected that the final tax will be quite a lot.

At the same time, the results of An Ning's arrangements for the West Garden Guard to monitor local officials also came out.

Governor Gao Ning did have his own thoughts, but he had no guts, so he hesitated between surrendering to the rebels and becoming king himself.Even if An Ning arrives, he doesn't care. In his eyes, An Ning is just a princess. What can a woman do?

As for other officials, they are still on the sidelines, probably because they want to be a fool or wait for a price to increase their bargaining chips.

An Ning sighed, sure enough, when Daping had a problem, all kinds of small thoughts came out.No, it should be said that Daping's destruction of the country was caused by the careful thinking of these people, and now it is only on the surface.

An Ning told Dong Dacheng: "Since they don't know amena, then you don't have to be polite. It's a good time to try your garden guard's knife to see if it's good or bad."

Dong Dacheng excitedly said: "Yes!"

I have wanted to get rid of these people for a long time. Do you really think that our Xiyuan Guards are just for free?
Dong Dacheng ordered: "This is the first important task that the princess has given us. We must do it well no matter what, and don't let Dongyuan Wei see the joke."

The West Garden Guard put forth all his strength to do this, and the officials who were willing to obey were arrested first, and those who disobeyed were stabbed down, leaving no one behind.

After the blood flowed like a river, Gao Ning officials finally remembered the horror of the two garden guards, they were indeed murderous executioners without batting an eyelid!

"Don't kill me, I surrender, I surrender." An official shouted tremblingly.

Minister Dong rolled his eyelids, surrender?Surrender to whom?As soon as the knife went down, the howling officials immediately headed away from their families, and the fleeing people in the courtyard also went down to accompany him one after another.This can be regarded as a high-standard death, after all, so many people were buried.

Countless officials thought of ways to save their lives, but they never thought about resistance.Just kidding, confronting the two garden guards, I'm afraid they don't know how to write the word "death"?
When everyone was trembling, they were surprised to find that one family was not killed. Although they were also arrested, at least their lives were saved.

What the hell happened, it actually made the whole family take their lives?Learn, must learn.

Minister Dong is happy to see the success of this, and he doesn't want to kill everyone, otherwise who will take care of Gao Ning's government affairs?

So these officials quickly found out that this wise man bound himself before the garden guards entered the gate, knelt in the courtyard, and claimed to be a courtier of Daping, and he would be the princess' leader in the future.

Oh, now everyone understands, the point is to restrain oneself, claiming to be a servant of Daping, and following the princess's lead.The answers are all there, who wouldn't copy them!

As officials who have gone through many hardships and come forward reliably, they even came up with new answers. Isn't it just humility, respect, and pretending to be grandsons? It's simple.

Dong Dacheng discovered for the first time that these literati's integrity can be so low, it seems that they are not the same group of people who scolded the two garden guards before.

However, with these people's overwhelming desire to survive, their lives are finally safe.

Governor Gao Ning's family was killed, and An Ning made Xue Cong the governor of Gao Ning, in charge of the military and political power of Gao Ning Province.Originally, Wang Dawei was the most suitable for this position. He was a civil servant and served as Minister of the Ministry of War, but he is still in Ping'an Prefecture, so Xue Cong can only take the position first.

At present, the only person in An Ning's hands who can take charge of his own affairs is Wu Feng, the son of Prince Rui. The province is armed.

In addition, the east and west garden guards may have been useless for a long time. An Ning was afraid that these two knives would rust, so he asked the commanders on both sides to check themselves and sort out the two garden guards thoroughly. or do other work.

Originally, the two of them firmly believed that the two garden guards were definitely the sharpest knives in the emperor's hands, and there would never be any problem.

Unexpectedly, after this investigation, it was discovered that there are all kinds of strange things, such as bribery, impostors, arrogance on the inside, and weakness on the outside. It has only been a few days since I came to Gao Ning, and there are already all kinds of extortion in the name of the princess. Blackmail, arrogant and domineering.

The two commanders are going to be scared to death, this is courting death.Have you forgotten how ruthless the princess was when she killed people, or do you think the princess will not kill the two garden guards?
The princess wanted to restore Daping with all her heart. If these people's behavior was discovered, let alone them, even the commander himself would probably have no good fruit to eat.

The two began to reorganize the two garden guards without stopping, picking out all unqualified ones, and beheading those who were serious.The two garden guards once again showed their sharpness after many years, but this time the knife was aimed at themselves, cutting flesh and rebirth.

Over there, Wu Feng also immediately started conscription.

The entourage said: "My son, why are we so obedient? King Lu and King Qi are both self-reliant, and the prince is King Rui, so it's not as good as us."

Wu Feng shouted: "Shut up, don't say such things in the future. Don't say that my family has been deeply favored by the emperor for generations, but just say that the princess saved us twice. What kind of kindness is that? How can you be ungrateful and repay your kindness with revenge."

Wu Feng spoke uprightly, but actually felt very bitter in his heart.Doesn't he want to make himself king?But I have no chance of winning, and I am not a direct blood of the royal family. Instead of failing to stand on my own, it is better to be a loyal minister. In the future, I can also leave a good reputation for myself with meticulous writing in history books.

Wu Feng calmed down and said again: "I think the princess is very organized and decisive in killing. Believe it or not, as long as someone dares to move their minds, the prefect of Gaoning is a lesson from the past."

The attendant thought about the hundreds of heads of the prefect of Gaoning's whole family, and also thought about the princess's unchanging expression, and felt terrified, so he stopped talking immediately.

Wu Feng's recruitment was not smooth, although he tried his best.Everyone knows that the treatment of being a soldier is not good, not to mention not getting food and pay, but also involving future generations to become military households, whoever is a soldier is a fool.

Except for those who can't survive or have great ambitions, no one wants to be a soldier.

Wu Feng exhausted all means, and only more than 1000 people joined the army, which was far from the 1 people An Ning wanted.

It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice, no matter how clever he is, he can't change the inherent concepts of the people of Gaoning.

He could only tell An Ning: "This subordinate is incompetent and failed to complete the task assigned by the princess."

An Ning also knew the difficulty of recruiting soldiers at this time. This is not an era when everyone is proud to be a soldier.

An Ning said: "If there is no benefit, it is normal for the people not to do things that are not beneficial. It is not your fault. How about this, I brought some property from the palace, first lured them with benefits, and then told them to serve as soldiers. The advantage is that more people will come. In addition, you can announce the abolition of military households in the future, and the descendants of soldiers will not have to serve as soldiers.

An Ning is going to improve the treatment of soldiers. In addition to the monthly payment from one tael to two taels, families who join the army can also be exempted from taxes for a year.

There is no need to become military households who serve as soldiers from generation to generation. Every soldier can give a son a vacant position of ninth rank.Another thing that cannot be ignored is that as long as you make meritorious service, you will be rewarded, and you may even be able to fight for a title.

In this part, An Ning refers to the military merit system of the Qin Dynasty in another world. This system allows the soldiers of the Qin State to dare to fight and win battles.In Daping, I believe An Ning can also play a big role.

After Wu Feng announced these measures, the common people talked a lot, but there were still not many people who came to join the army.

One is to see the truth of the matter, after all, the court's previous behavior has overdrawn its reputation.The common people know that those who believe in the imperial court are fools.

Second, as far as they can see with their own eyes, many soldiers are dressed like beggars. Without them, bullying men and women is No. 1 in defending the country.Everyone instinctively loathes these people.

The common people were watching, but a group of people seemed to see an opportunity.

A bearded man with a short man and a gentle scholar, this combination is still very eye-catching.After reading the notice, several people went to an inconspicuous corner to discuss.

The bearded man said: "I think we should go to the army, the salary is not bad, and it will allow the family to live a good life."

The little man said: "No way, big brother. Since when did the people in the imperial court keep their word? Every time they say that they will be exempted from taxes, they end up paying more. They can't believe it."

The bearded man looked at the scholar and said, "Sir, what do you think?"

The scholar said: "Before the court said nothing, it was mainly because the officials below were lying. But now that the princess is here, no one would dare to lie. I think it can be done."

The bearded man said: "Then do it."

The little man shook his head violently, "No way, brother, they can't be trusted."

The bearded man looked at the scholar again, opened his mouth, and wanted to say something.

The scholar said: "Let's do this. I'll go and find out what they're talking about first. If they are trustworthy, we'll go. If they're not trustworthy, we can't be fooled."

Now, the bearded man and the short man have no objections anymore, it must be no problem if Mr.

The scholar also breathed a sigh of relief. With this merit, he could become a member of the imperial court openly.It's scary to be in a bandit den all day.

Several people were planning to go to An Ning to find out, but they didn't think that An Ning was no longer in Gao Ning's territory.

From Gaoning to the south is Ping'an Prefecture, and Wang Dawei served as a general there, guarding Ping'an Prefecture.If he can be contacted, there will be one more piece of land in An Ning, which happens to be connected with Gao Ning province.

As for whether Wang Dawei is willing to serve her as the master, An Ning never thought about it. Anyway, there are hard things, and Wang Dawei's family is still in her hands.I don't believe it, Wang Dawei can disregard the lives of his family, if he really wants to do that, An Ning also admires him, he is a hero.

Because the matter was so important, An Ning personally took the reorganized 500 guards of the two gardens and 1000 soldiers who had been trained for a month to Pingan Prefecture.
