Chapter four hundred and eighty seventh loyalty and filial piety
"General Zhenbei's troops will help them leave! Uncle, do you want to resist General Zhenbei?"
Although Geng Xi did not go to the Jieqiao battlefield, someone in the clan did. They came back and praised the Qingzhou army as if they were soldiers from heaven. Geng Xi really did not have the courage to confront Ma. Thinking of this, Geng Xi couldn't help but
He stamped his feet and shouted, "General Zhenbei...you must be reasonable! I don't believe it. He, Ma Zhenbei, dares to kill an old man like me!"
"The political supervisor's order says that anyone who gathers a crowd to resist the government with force will be killed..." Geng Wu bowed deeply to Geng Xi, looked at Geng Xi and said, "Uncle, it has been hard to have both loyalty and filial piety since ancient times. Although General Zhenbei's order is somewhat unreasonable,
But it is a kind deed for the people. My nephew has taken the emperor's salary and should sacrifice his family for the country. I hope my uncle will cherish it!"
With that said, Geng Wu didn't stay any longer and turned around to leave.
He returned to Gengjiapu this time just to speak clearly.
He was not the kind of person who only cared about his family. Otherwise, when Yuan Shao came to Hebei, he would have followed Ju Shou and others to welcome him. He had loyalty in his heart.
Ma Qiang favored him so much that he decided to repay him with death!
Several other elders of the big clans who had watched the big show also said goodbye and left. They wanted to return to the clan quickly and figure out what to do next.
The Zhenbei political supervision order quickly spread throughout the rural streets of Jizhou, and everyone was discussing the upcoming clearing of fields, household registration and even land distribution.
Of course, there are also people who are concerned about the issue of grain purchase, but facing the imminent start of household registration in Qingtian, it is really not a big deal that grain trading cannot be done.
The house is going to be demolished, so who cares about the business?
The powerful powers from all over Jizhou who stayed in Jizhou began to connect with each other. The moderates hoped to write to Ma Qiang and change the government orders, while the radicals closed Wubao tightly, built ordnance, and prepared for armed confrontation.
Many people even took small roads into the Taihang Mountains, hoping to find Yuan Shao for help. Some even went to Chang'an, hoping that the imperial court could issue an edict to prevent chaos.
There are still many people who don't understand that times have changed.
The chaos in Jizhou was also noticed by Xun Yan.
"Sir, have you seen it? Qingtian is not that easy to do." Xun Yan said to Cao Ang, "Look at Wu Bao, he looks ready for war. He is obviously preparing to fight against Ma Zhenbei with arms."
Xun Yan took Cao Ang around Jizhou these days to see how Ma Qiang cleared the fields.
Cao Ang put down the telescope in his hand, shook his head and said, "How can such an earthen fortress resist the Northern Army? It's like a mantis using its arms as a chariot."
"But if all the powerful men in Jizhou are like this, how many troops can the Zhenbei Army have? If we miss the spring plowing, Yuan Shao can come back next year."
"In other words, General Zhenbei must make a quick decision."
——Zhenbei General Mansion
"Judging from the data reported from various places, although the common people cheered when they learned that the land was to be divided, they did not dare to help the working group deal with the local powerful people. Among the powerful people in various places, less than 10% cooperated with Qingtian household registration, and about 10% of the other powerful people cooperated with Qingtian household registration.
Sixty-percent of them were Xu and Wei Snake, and the remaining 30% gathered in Wubao and did not allow the officials to come near."
Guo Jia took the data reported by Jinyiwei from various places and said to Ma Qiang.
"Haha, I'm afraid those 30% are mostly powerful people."
"Ming Gong is right."
"It's only normal that the people don't dare to help the government. These powerful people are all local snakes, and there are endless ways to retaliate. Only when they see that the powerful people are going to lose will they dare to step forward to help." Ma Qiang thought of something he had seen before.
Movie, I can’t help but say, “To put it bluntly, whoever wins, who they help!”
Guo Jia read this sentence again, clasped his hands and said with a smile, "Ming Gong's words speak clearly to the heart of the head of Guizhou."
"Let Xu He's internal military guards test it out first. If the other side is tough, hand it over to the military. Tell the commanders of each army that I will only give them one month. After one month, no one who dares to hold sway will be allowed to appear in the entire land of Jizhou.
The mighty Wu Bao shuts his door behind closed doors!"
"promise!"
——Julu County Sheriff’s Mansion
"Prefect, Gengjiabao still does not allow the working group to approach, and even threatens them with arrows. Captain Xu of the Internal Guards is outside asking for a meeting."
Geng Wu pressed his head, that uncle of his...
"Let Captain Xu come in."
Xu Xian was born in the Yellow Turban Army of Qingzhou and was a native of Xu He.
"Prefect Geng, the problem with Gengjia Fort must be solved. An official document has been issued. If Gengjia Fort does not open Wubao before dark tomorrow, then I can only inform the military to handle it!"
As Xu Xian spoke, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up. He, who was born in the Yellow Turban, looked down upon Geng Wu, who was born in a noble family.
Now seeing Geng Wu's misfortune, he felt happy.
"Captain Xu, there are thousands of civilians in Gengjiabao. Once the army comes out, wouldn't it mean that everyone will be devastated?"
"That is also Gengjiapu's matter and has nothing to do with me, Xu!" With that, Xu Xian saluted and said, "I have finished reporting to the lower officials, so I'm leaving!"
Seeing Xu Xian leaving so rudely, Geng Wu was so angry that he was trembling all over, but he was helpless.
Compared with the past, his power as a county governor has dropped significantly.
"Uncle..." Geng Wu sighed, took out his pen and ink, wrote a letter, called a boy and said, "Hurry and deliver this letter to Gengjiapu."
As soon as the young boy left the prefect's mansion, Xu Xian got the news.
"Captain, the prefect is sending a message, do you want it?"
"Hey, we are the internal military guards, not the Supervision Bureau or the Military Intelligence Bureau. It has nothing to do with us. Let the brothers guard the key points. If Geng Wu dares to collude with the powerful to cause chaos, I will be the first to kill him! Send another one
I sent a letter to Huang Zhonglang and Zhenbei Mansion to let the general know about this."
"promise!"
Geng Wu waited eagerly for a whole day, but did not receive a reply from Geng Xi.
He knew that Geng Xi was prepared to fight to the end.
He looked at his own official seal, murmured a few words, picked up his sword, and came to the station of the Julu Internal Armed Guard Corps.
"Ah ah ah, Governor Geng sent someone to tell you something, why did you come in person?"
"I have sent a message to Huang Zhonglang, asking him to send troops to surround Gengjia Fort. Captain Xu, you will also send a team to go with me. In addition, you will send people to call the elders of the powerful clans in Julu to come to Gengjia Fort to watch the battle.
"
"Watching the battle?" Xu Xian looked at Geng Wu, whose eyes were obviously wrong, and was stunned for a moment.
"I want to destroy the Gengjia Fort! Execute the Zhenbei Political Supervision Order, clear the fields! Create households! Divide the fields!!"
Are you going to demolish your own home?
So cruel?
Xu Xian looked at Geng Wu carefully, stretched out his thumb and said, "Governor Geng, you are a man. I, Xu Xian, will obey you from now on!"
Geng Wu ignored Xu Xian and turned to leave.
For a time, the internal military guards and their cavalry came out in all directions. The powerful men in Julu counties heard that they were asked to send people to Gengjiabao to watch the battle. Even the powerful men who guarded Wubao did not refuse.
After all... Gengjiabao is too special, and they also want to know where the Zhenbei Army's bottom line is.
Geng Wu sat on the carriage, looked at the military camp stationed outside Geng's Fort, and touched the sword in his hand.
