Chapter 880: Become the king? Make the capital of Luoyang?

(0880)

【Today's first update is delivered!】

Wang Shaoyu's head, with a blood arrow, landed among the crowd. The angry people treated his head like a ball and kicked each other around, but disappeared in a while. Immediately afterwards, Wang Shaoyu's body was pulled down by someone, and then torn apart, turning into a ball of blood.

"Plop!"

Lu Zhi, who was revenge, threw away the machete in his hand, knelt on the prison and cried bitterly. The people below were infected by Lu Zhi's behavior and became even more angry. They kept shouting slogans, and they were in a state of overturning the prison and killing.

Those dog officials who were escorted up, facing the angry people, all had their heads hanging down and did not dare to move. At this time, they realized how fragile their lives were. Once those people who were used to being bullied by them stood up in anger, their strength was also quite terrible.

Zhang Zhun shook his head and said to Li Guo: "Forget it, let them all be released. Leave them to the people themselves to deal with it. If you have revenge, you will seek revenge."

Li Guo agreed to go.

Soon, all the arrested Luoyang officials were pushed to the top of the prison and slaughtered by the soldiers, and then pushed to the bottom of the prison and slaughtered by the people, falling into the crowd of people.

"Bow him to death!"

"Bow him to death!"

"Bow him to death!"

The angry people suddenly became even more crazy.

These officials of all sizes fall into the hands of angry people, and their fate is naturally conceivable. In a short while, the arrested officials turned into pools of blood or meat sauce. Some people who are still unrestrained will trample on the blood or meat sauce angrily, and will vent their anger and aggrievances.

Until there was no trace of blood on the ground, the angry people gradually calmed down. Their eyes were staring at the high platform, hoping that more dog officials could be thrown down and they would continue to vent their anger. Unfortunately, there were so many dog ​​officials caught by Li Guo. Those grassroots officials were not yet able to settle the matter.

Zhang Zhun stood up and slowly walked to the front of the prison slaughter platform. The angry people below slowly calmed down. They all knew that Zhang Zhun had something to say, and they also hoped that Zhang Zhun could say something that inspired them. This governor is now their backbone.

"Friends! King Fu died, and the dog officials were killed. Luoyang has changed. From then on, everyone will have a good life. Now, please select a new prefect and carry out daily management work."

Zhang Zhun said loudly.

"We choose the prefect?"

"Let's choose?"

"It seems we choose..."

When the people below heard Zhang Zhun's words, they were all in a bad mood. It was so novel that Zhang Zhun actually asked them to choose a prefect by themselves. All the officials in all dynasties were appointed by the superiors, and no one had chosen by the people themselves. Many old people who lived in their sixties or seventies had never heard of such a new thing.

Because Zhang Zhun's words were too incredible and incredible, many people were still half-believing and half-doubting about Zhang Zhun's words. Some even doubted whether they had heard it wrong. Many people looked at each other and saw the suspicion in the eyes of each other.

"That's right, you just choose it yourself!"

Zhang Zhun waved his hand and repeated in a deep voice.

The reactions of the people below were all within his expectations. Indeed, in this era, officials were not appointed directly by the superiors, but by the people themselves, which was indeed too advanced. Even the people with the most active minds could not imagine such a good thing. If Zhang Zhun was not a strong figure, he would have long been labeled as a rebellious person.

In fact, Zhang Zhun was also preparing to appoint a prefect directly, so there was no need to hold any election. But after thinking about it, he thought it would be better to throw this hot potato to the people of Luoyang City. Why is it said to be a hot potato? It is really hard to be the prefect of Luoyang!

Luoyang is surrounded by powerful enemies, and there are a lot of residues and filth inside that needs to be dealt with, and hundreds of thousands of people need to serve. It can be said that this new Luoyang prefect needs to do too much. As long as one thing is not done well, it may lead to serious consequences. If the Hu Ben Army directly appoints officials and this person is not done well, it may affect the image of the Hu Ben Army. However, there is really no such powerful prefect around Zhang Zhun.

There must be a prefect who can satisfy most of the people. This is a prerequisite. The current situation in Luoyang is generally very dangerous. Once this person becomes a prefect, he will have to take great risks. However, under such unfavorable conditions, the elected prefect is loved by the people and is truly what the people want to do for the people. If there are too many benefits, maybe there will be another smart person who will take advantage of the loopholes.

"That's all I want to say."

"The matters related to the election of the prefect will be left to Mr. Li Yan and Mr. Li to be fully responsible."

"The matters related to Juntian Ling will also be left to Mr. Li Yan and Mr. Li to be fully responsible."

Zhang Zhun continued to speak loudly.

He has always been responsible for the decisions of major policies and policies, and the details are handled by the people below. It is like this today. Originally, Zhang Zhun wanted to publish a long discussion, but then he thought about it and let it go. The timing is not right! The situation around Luoyang has been changing rapidly, and he cannot make any too many promises now.

After returning to Prince Fu's Mansion, Zhang Zhun received a report from Wang Shide that several elders asked for a visit. These so-called elders were actually famous local people, and most of them had held official positions in the court. For example, Lu Weiqi was one of them.

Zhang Zhun asked casually: "What do they want to say?"

Wang Shide looked around and whispered: "Asking king, and establishing capital."

Zhang Zhun was slightly stunned, and then his expression returned to normal.

Wang Shide said with a wry smile: "Their actions are a little more active. They are preparing to put the adults on the fire!"

Zhang Zhun said casually: "How did you respond?"

Wang Shide said cautiously: "I dared to make the decision, and I said that the lord would not consider anything else before completely eliminating the Tartars."

Zhang Zhun smiled and nodded, and said with satisfaction: "Very good. These guys are afraid that the world will not be in chaos. They used to dare to get close to our Hu Ben Army, but now they have used this trick again and flatter us hard. Maybe they are really scared."

Wang Shide looked around again and whispered: "But there is no need for the lord to blame them. These people will still be useful in the future."

Zhang Zhun nodded and said casually: "Okay, I'll leave this matter to you to take responsibility. You tell them that I already know what they said today. However, the conditions are not yet ripe, please don't talk nonsense. Otherwise, you will be severely punished."

Wang Shide agreed to go.

"Be king?"

"Corrested the capital?"

"These guys are really good at flattering..."

Zhang Zhun shook his head and said to himself.

There is no doubt that these so-called elders saw the fate of Lu Weiqi and other officials of all sizes and sizes, and were afraid that they would suffer a similar fate, so they urgently wanted to move closer to the Hu Ben Army, express their loyalty to the Hu Ben Army, and flatter themselves. As a result, they took the initiative to propose to be king and establish the capital.

Unlike all the big cities currently controlled by the Hu Ben Army, the city of Luoyang has special historical significance, and is the so-called ancient capital of the Thirteenth Dynasty. Well, if the Western Han Dynasty and Wu Zhou Dynasty were added, it would be the ancient capital of the fifteenth dynasty. The Hu Ben Army occupied Luoyang, which indeed made some things that did not mention the table before, and could be mentioned on the table.

For example, be king.

For example, establish the capital.

Basically, in all dynasties, before the establishment of a new dynasty, the founding emperors would have had some special titles, whether they were granted by themselves or those who were extorted and cheated from the court. In any case, such titles must be given. Among them, titles or titles to be kings are almost an indispensable condition.

In fact, it is no problem to be king in the areas currently controlled by the Hu Ben Army. No wonder the elders in Luoyang are so active. If they contributed to this big event, then the establishment of a new dynasty will definitely be of the credit of these people. If they accept their suggestions, they will be considered their own people.

If these people have no good abilities in doing things, they are very good at flattering and changing their responsibilities. After King Fu was killed, they probably realized that the court was at the end of their strength and had no power. In the future, the world will definitely be the world of the Hu Ben Army. At this time, they can definitely gain benefits by surrendering to the Hu Ben Army with a clear stand.

Their wishful thinking was indeed not wrong. Just like now, although Zhang Zhun would not accept their proposal to be king, he would not punish them much. Because becoming king is the only way for the Hu Ben Army to move towards the Nine Five Emperors. Even if they did not propose it, Gao Hongtu and others would also raise it tactfully. It can be said that becoming king is no longer a problem, but the problem is when and where to become king.

Zhang Zhun really thought about establishing the capital of Luoyang. Due to geographical reasons, various cities in Shandong are not suitable for establishing capital. The great dynasties in history have been very particular. The capital was either in the Central Plains, in Guanzhong, or in the north. If you choose the Central Plains, Luoyang is a good choice.

As the ancient capital of the fifteenth dynasty, Luoyang does have unique advantages. It controls the Central Plains and is backed by the Heluo region. It has a developed economy and convenient transportation. The distance from Luoyang to various places in China is not far apart. It can be said that Luoyang is the center of the world. From the perspective of ***, this is very beneficial.

The only disadvantage of establishing the capital of Luoyang is that it is a bit too comfortable. Luoyang is very far from the border and surrounded by various strategic fortresses. Setting the capital here can easily make people lazy, easily self-satisfied, and easily self-confidence. This is very unfavorable for establishing an expansionary country. Zhang Zhun does not want to establish such a country.

"Forget it, it's still far away!"

Zhang Zhun shook his head and relieved his inner thoughts.

When he was called king and established a capital, he didn't need to consider it very seriously. He believed that after the Hu Ben Army occupied Luoyang, there would naturally be people with a lot of heart to analyze the pros and cons of establishing a capital of Luoyang in detail. As for when to become king, someone must be thinking about it.

That night, Luoyang City was very lively, and the sound of firecrackers kept coming. It was obvious that someone was celebrating the new look of Luoyang. The shop business was very popular at night, especially the merchants selling wine, which were completely sold out. After the Hu Ben Army entered Luoyang, there was no curfew. Except for the patrol soldiers on the streets, they were basically no different from usual.

The most active group of people are the prisoners who were released from prison. More than 90% of the prisoners detained in Luoyang prison were arrested for rent or confronting the government. Zhang Zhun learned about the situation and ordered them to be released. Only murderers and ***ers will continue to be detained.

Of course, the prisoners who have obtained a new life have to celebrate happily. The family members took their family members to kneel down to the direction where Zhang Zhun was, with a very pious expression. Those who have no family members wandered on the streets of Luoyang and enjoyed this rare ***.

The grain stockpiled by King Fu was ordered by Zhang Zhun to be distributed to the poor people. The grain production of the Hu Ben Army in Shandong has always been good, and there is no need to use the grain stored in Luoyang. Therefore, after three million stones of grain was distributed, every household's rice jar was filled. Some of the bags for the food even needed to be built to make room for their families to move.

With enough food, we naturally have to have a full meal for dinner. People who have not had enough food for a long time have eaten, and this was the first time that night. Some people were so full that they could not help but continue to eat until they were overwhelmed. There was no way. They were really too hungry before, but now they have to make up for it. Some people even sleep at night, holding a bag of food, for fear that if they are accidentally stolen, they will be stolen.

Especially those children, they felt that it was even more lively than the New Year. After eating and drinking, they were chasing and fighting happily on the streets, constantly making bursts of silver bell-like laughter. Many old people sat at their doors, looking at the lively streets, and said with emotion that Luoyang City had not been so relaxed and happy for a long time.

Some brave children even ran outside the Hu Ben Army's camp to see the Hu Ben Army's appearance. The soldiers wearing grass-green military uniforms and holding the Hu Ben Gun in their hands left a very deep impression on their little hearts. The shiny bayonets on the Hu Ben Gun also attracted the attention of many children.

Some children also followed the soldiers of the Huben Army, stood attentively, raised their heads, raised their chests and closed their abdomen, and stood solemnly. Sometimes, the soldiers of the Huben Army changed their guards and walked in a straight line, so these children followed the soldiers of the Huben Army to walk in a straight line. Some soldiers of the Huben Army couldn't help but smile quietly when they saw their appearance, and as a result, the children became even more excited.

However, the official, that is, the Hu Ben Army, did not hold any celebration. In addition to the sentinels responsible for the alert, the Hu Ben Army soldiers who had been working hard for a day basically fell asleep sweetly.

Of course, there are many people who can't sleep, especially those in the gray area. There are still many people who have a relationship with Fu Wang, and there are also many officials who have not been liquidated yet. No one knows what Zhang Zhun will do with them. Their hearts can only be hung in the air, tossing and turning, and not being able to rest for a long time.

There are also some people who cannot sleep, who are qualified to be the prefect of Luoyang. Luoyang is the ancient capital of the fifteenth dynasty. There are many talented people, and there are indeed many people who are willing to serve the people sincerely. China has never lacked people who plead for the people, but they rarely have the opportunity to appear on the stage of power. Now, Zhang Zhun has given them the opportunity, and they will inevitably be moved.

Zhang Zhun's words in Baitian still echoed in their minds. They were all wondering whether they would compete for the position of Luoyang prefect? ​​If they compete for this position, what should they do? What should they start working after becoming the prefect?

"Sir, which room do you sleep in?"

In the evening, when it was about to go to bed, Wang Shide came over to ask for instructions.

After the Hu Ben Army entered the city, Zhang Zhun temporarily lived in the Fu Palace. The various items in the Fu Palace were being counted and packaged by the Hu Ben Army soldiers and were ready to be transported away. Because there were too many things, the first day of inventory may only be less than 5%. It is estimated that it will take ten days at the earliest to be cleared.

"Whatever!"

Zhang Zhun said casually.

Zhang Zhun had only one feeling about the Fu Palace, that is, the maze. If he had no familiar people to lead the way, he, the commander of the Hu Ben Army, might have lost his way inside. The previous Heng Palace, De Palace and Lu Palace were not at the same level as the Fu Palace.

It is said that there are 9,999 rooms in the Forbidden City in total. Zhang Zhun estimated that the rooms in the Fu Palace may be one less than the Forbidden City. Emperor Wanli was unable to make King Fu the emperor, so he tried his best to compensate in other aspects. The Fu Palace was probably not far from the Forbidden City.

After finding a room at the Fu Palace and resting for one night, Zhang Zhun came to the West Pearl Field early the next morning to personally check the recruitment situation. The current situation in Luoyang is quite strange, and military is the top priority, and he must arrest him personally. When he arrived at the West Pearl Field, he found that there were already crowds of people here, and there were young people who signed up for the army everywhere.

After deciding to stay in Luoyang for a long time, Zhang Zhun announced the formal establishment of the Luoyang City Defense Force. The basic organization of the Luoyang City Defense Force is 10,000 people, all infantry. The training of the City Defense Force is carried out by the four battalions of the Huben Army's cavalry. The method of veterans leading new recruits, and each veteran happens to lead two new recruits.

Because the main task of the city defense army is to rely on the Luoyang city walls to defend against the counterattack of the imperial army, their training content can be adjusted. In the early stage, what they need to train was mainly strict discipline, and then the Tiger Ben Gun was the best.

Luoyang has a population and recruits 10,000 soldiers, without any difficulty. There were two guards in Luoyang, with a total of more than 30,000 military households. However, considering the quality of the soldiers, Zhang Zhun decided to disband all the original guards and soldiers and then re-select them.

The test items are still the same as the third one. One is endurance, one is strength, and the other is speed. As long as the three conditions meet the requirements, the 10,000 people with the best score can be selected as the Hu Ben Army and officially become a member of the Hu Ben Army.
