On the eighth day of the third month of the seventh year of Hongwu, the Song Dynasty.

Daming Mansion.

In the Yuancheng County yamen outside Xi'an, several big-gold officials wearing wide-collar leather robes and bald heads and no hats were sitting dejectedly in the lobby of the yamen. Everyone's faces were pale, look at me, look at you.

Yuan Chun, the magistrate of Yuancheng County, sat behind the desk, and looked at the military order left to him by Han Chang, a member of the Han'er Army and the Daming Mansion in Weibo Town, without raising his head.

During this military order, Han Chang informed Yuan Chun that the army of the Luoyang court in the Song Dynasty had entered the Daming Prefecture, so he followed the order of Wei Bo Town King Wanyan Qi to avoid the enemy's edge first. However, Daming Prefecture could not be without people, so he asked him, the magistrate of Yuancheng County, the head of Daming Prefecture, to take the initiative to lead the gentry and people in the city to resist the Blast Song Dynasty and wait for the Dajin King's Army to counterattack...

This is such a joke!

Han Chang, the prefect of Wanhu in the Great Jin Kingdom, opened his own way overnight and took away all the Dajin Han'er army in the Daming Prefecture City... but threw a number of sesame and mung bean officials, including Yuan Chun, into the city as scapegoats. Is this kind of thing done by humans? If you want to run away, you will take everyone together. It doesn't matter!

The whole family was not in Daming Mansion, but in Qingchi County, Cangzhou, the headquarters of the Jiedu Department.

Although everyone has built an outdoor room in Daming Mansion and has made some money... but what can't be given up in order to escape?

What should I do now?

The rural soldiers guarding the city just now came to report that a large number of soldiers with red scarves appeared outside the Daming Prefecture City, which looked very imposing!

These red scarf soldiers should be the heavenly soldiers of the imperial court, right?

Should we abandon the darkness and turn it to light now?

When the officials from the prefectural office and the county magistrate's office saw that Yuan Chun had no idea, they started talking nonsense.

"......We did not make any troubles in Xuanhe's trouble, and we came out to be a big gold, no, the officials of the Jin thief were forced to do it. We didn't take it, some people wanted to be... and we didn't do anything to be sorry for our conscience!"

"That's right, I've been a good scholar. I've already passed two trials. If it weren't for the Jin thief, I might have already passed the Jinshi..."

"So too! If it weren't for Xuanhe's difficulties, I would probably have passed the Jinshi now!"

"I am the most injuring. I am already a special editor and have become an official. If there is no Xuanhe crisis, I will retire!"

When Yuan Chun heard the voice of discussion, he felt upset. He was also very poor when he said that. He was originally a military member who was pacified, but he had been infected with something and moved his family to Xinzhou. As a result, he was not at peace for a few years, and the Jin thief suddenly called him. He was a scholar and a family with his family, with an old mother and a child. Where could he escape? He was taken away by the Jin thief. He was originally going to be a slave, but he met a noble man named Wanyan Xiyin. He actually knew that most of the Yuan surnames in the Hedong area came from the Tuoba clan of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and that was the "senior" of the Jin thief!

So he gave Yuan Chun a chance to become an official... Yuan Chun was not an official from the Song Dynasty, he was just a Confucian scholar. What reason would he rather be a slave than an official to the Jin people in order to be loyal to the Song Dynasty?

And there are old mothers above and young children below!

So he followed the Jin people to become an official, first in Wanyan Zonghan's army, and then was sent by Xiyin to serve as an official in Zhongshan Prefecture. Later, Wanyan Zongwang presided over Hebei's military affairs and also became interested in his talent, so he transferred to Zongwang's sect, and has been here until now.

He originally thought that he was a figure under Zong Wang's sect, but he didn't expect that if he said no, he wouldn't want it... But Jin Thief could not want him, but he couldn't want himself!

Thinking of this, he could only sigh: "Although we have all received the kindness of the Dajin official family and are all ministers of the Dajin. But we are also the parents of the people of the Daming Mansion and always have to make decisions for the people. Since Xuanhe, the Daming Mansion has been in chaos, with a 70% hustle and no matter how many people died... If it continues to be in chaos, it will be a big deal!

So now we have to lead the gentry and people of Daming Prefecture to welcome the royal army, and then ask the people for a way out from the Luoyang court! We must first exempt the tax from three years to restore the vitality of the people.

In addition, Daming Prefecture has fallen for seven or eight years, and the scholars of Daming Prefecture have not participated in an examination, and have not even completed the examination. If the court can restore the Confucian industry of Daming Prefecture as soon as possible, and in the next competition, give some preferential treatment to the scholars of Daming Prefecture, the people of Daming Prefecture can be cleaned up."

"County Master, isn't it appropriate for us to mention these things now?" An official immediately raised an objection, "We are the officials of the Jin people..."

Yuan Chun glanced at the man and said quietly: "That's even more important... We are already officials of the Jin people. If we can't join the gentry and people of Daming Mansion, we may not even have the chance to abandon the dark and turn to the light!"

As soon as he said this, the people below immediately had nothing to say... Now I want to abandon the darkness and turn to the light? Will the court be willing to accept it?

Yuan Chun swept through everyone, "Don't be stunned, go and contact the well-known figures in the city... Let's welcome the king's army together! Find more people, so that we can seem capable!"

Most of the officials in the lobby of the county government were local literati from Daming Prefecture, and they still had the ability to move. After a while, hundreds of literati were pulled out, and some of them even wore the Song Dynasty's official uniforms. It seemed that they were still old men in the Song Dynasty!

When these local officials of Daming Prefecture summoned the literati and doctors in the city to welcome the king's army, Yuan Chun was not idle either. He sent out all three yamen runners to open shops from house to house in the lively area in the city of Daming Prefecture, and asked them to send people to follow him to serve the name of Daming Prefecture, and then bring some food and drink.

This is called "白花花" to welcome the king's army!

......

This royal master... looks a little wrong!

When I left the city gate and saw the king's army up close on the official road outside the city, the gentry and officials of Mandaming Mansion all felt like they were "welcoming the wrong one"... No matter how the king's army looked at it, how was it wrong!

It's wrong to dress up!

In the past, the kings wore Fan Yang hats when they didn’t wear helmets. How did they change to a red turban now? Isn’t it too cheap?

However, although they saved Fan Yangli, they made a lot of money on the armor!

Not only do everyone have armor, but they are all iron armor (cold forged armor only accounts for a small part, but hot forged armor is everyone has it), and it is so shining under the sun!

Moreover, their weapons are not like the King's Army. The King's Army is equipped with a large number of Divine Arm Bows, followed by ordinary bows and arrows. The number of hand-to-hand combat soldiers is very small, and of course there are even fewer cavalry with horses.

But the more than 10,000 royal divisions that appear outside the Daming Mansion are not equipped with divine arm bows, and most of the infantry are equipped with spears... At the same time, they seem to be equipped with bows and arrows!

What does this mean? A king master is going to do two people's work? How many people's money does he take?

In addition, there are too many cavalry in this royal division! And they are all equipped with one man and two horses... When did the Song Dynasty become so many horses?

What made these people feel most wrong were a few domineering military officers of the royal army. They rode their horses and took a group of infantry that looked very ferocious, and rushed to these literati and doctors. They neither dismounted or polite. Instead, they raised their horse whip and pointed at a few people wearing Song Dynasty civil uniforms and asked: "Who are you waiting for? Why are you wearing old styles of the Song Dynasty civil uniforms? Isn't Daming Mansion the territory of the Jin thief? Which side are you from?"

Listen, is this what a military officer should say to a civil servant?

One of the old civil servants who had never served in a fake position (from a special memorial) was also tough and retorted at that time, "I am a professor of the prefecture of Daming Prefecture in the Song Dynasty...who is you?"

"Oh, it turns out to be a school official." The military officer didn't take it seriously at all and said with a smile, "I am the preparation general (deputy battalion commander) of the 54th infantry general of the Ninth Army (deputy battalion commander)! I ask you, where have the Jin thieves in the city gone? When did they leave Daming Mansion?"

The famous gentry and officials present were shocked!

A small preparation would be so rude to a professor of a prefecture... Daming prefecture is not an ordinary prefecture!

Daming Mansion is known as Beijing in the Song Dynasty!

However, this preparation general didn't think there was anything wrong with him. He was a rank of a sergeant, and he would soon accumulate enough merits and be promoted to a doctor, and his official position would be promoted by then.

How can a doctor be compared to a small local academic official? In the Luoyang court, the professors of the prefectures are all "skill officials" and are recruited by the local authorities themselves. If a doctor wants to be transferred to a local official, he is at least a magistrate, not older than you, a professor?

And the old man's professor has expired... The Northern Song Dynasty court has reopened now, but it is only selective to recognize officials of the "former dynasty" and officials of the prefecture school officials. The Luoyang court basically does not recognize officials of the Luoyang court.

So this is just a commoner!

Yuan Chun, who felt that the scene was a little wrong, had to come forward and talk, "I am the magistrate of Yuancheng County, Daming Prefecture, named Yuanchun. Now he leads the officials of Daming Prefecture, Yuancheng County, and the people, and invite the royal army into the city!"

"Oh," the man was about to nod, "Then you must know where the Golden Thief went?"

Yuan Chun shook his head, "I don't know..."

"So when did the golden thieves in Daming Mansion leave? How many people were there before leaving? How many grain and grass reserves were there in Daming Mansion? How much wealth is there in the treasury?"

"The Jin thieves in Daming Mansion left last night...I am not sure when exactly. Before leaving, they had about 3,000 people in total, and the generals who commanded the troops were Han Chang. The food and grass in Daming Mansion and the wealth in the treasury were not much. Now Daming Mansion is no longer a town for the Jin thief Wei Bojun, so the wealth and food that originally existed in Daming Mansion have been transported away."

"So that's it..." The preparatory general nodded, as if he understood something, "Prince Yuan, the last general has received the order of general and will take you and all the members of the pseudo-official office to meet the Wang Zhengzheng of the Ninth Army! Please come with me!"
Chapter completed!
