Chapter 295 This is ours again
Su Qian stroked his beard and smiled, "So you're two rebels, yet you dare to come before me? Are you trying to mend your ways?"
Bai Yanwen sneered.
"Your Excellency, General Qin was attacked by the Tartars and died on the battlefield. There is a reason behind this."
Su Qian was suddenly shocked. How could they know such a secret matter?
Yu Su added, "Sir, the Tartars attacked General Qin's cavalry at the foot of the city, but the gates were shut and the drawbridge was raised. If nothing else, one who watched them die without helping would be doomed to fail."
Bai Yanwen continued, "Not to mention that the Tartars came in an unpredictable way and penetrated deep into the heart of Zhenxi. They are quite bold."
"Alas, if there were no insider support, how could the Tartars dare to do such a reckless thing?"
"As soon as General Qin died, General Du Lisheng led his men to the border town."
"The tragic situation under the city was completely cleared away in one day."
The two of them sang in unison, making Su Qian's forehead sweat.
Bai Yan heard that Su Qian had said almost everything, and if he said anything more, he would get angry.
"Lord Commander, these are not just what we two have seen, and your troubles are not limited to this."
Su Qian leaned back in his chair and calmed down.
"Tell me, what is this governor's worry?"
"Haha, General Du failed in his attempt to seize control of the border town. He was defeated by Lin Feng and has disappeared without a trace."
"Lin Feng has seized control of the 30,000 provincial troops in the border town. The next step..."
Su Qian raised his hand to interrupt them.
"Just tell me clearly, what do you want to do?"
Bai Yanwen gave a thumbs up.
"Your Excellency is indeed wise. The two of us have come here today to relieve you of these worries."
"explain."
Bai Yanwen leaned forward.
"Sir, as long as you surrender to King Fu, we will be one family, and we will take care of Lin Feng."
Su Qian stared into his eyes.
"I'm afraid you're interested in the tens of thousands of government troops, right?"
Bai Yanwen clapped his hands and said, "Your Excellency is very capable. As long as we get rid of Lin Feng, you can regain control of the prefectural army in the name of the capital. By then, you will be a first-class meritorious official under the command of King Fu."
Su Qian didn't say anything, pondering the pros and cons in his mind.
It seems that Lu Ming, the prefect of Dingyuan Prefecture, has secretly surrendered to King Fu.
The current imperial court is indeed about to capsize.
He was the commander-in-chief of the Zhenxi Protectorate, which was much more important than other prefectures, and he had tens of thousands more troops under his command.
Of course, it is the object that King Fu strives for.
King Fu also sent people to do his work more than once.
But every time Su Qian found an excuse to shirk his responsibility.
It seems there is no way to escape this time.
I have reached my wit's end.
"Just because you two are nameless, you dare to say irresponsible things in front of this governor. Have you lived enough?"
Su Qian looked at the two of them gloomily.
The two were not surprised but happy. Su Qian's words showed that his mind had wavered.
Bai Yanwen immediately took out a sign from his arms.
"Master Commander, this is the token of the King of Fu, proving that we are his close ministers. You can rest assured."
Su Qian reached out and took the token.
The pure gold waist badge is the size of a palm and feels heavy in the hand.
The name of Fu Wang is indeed engraved on it.
Su Qian played with the token, his eyes looking elsewhere.
After a while.
"How can you get rid of Lin Feng?"
Bai Yanwen immediately said, "Sir, our Black Scarf Society is well-known throughout the world, and our members are everywhere. It would be easy for us to take Lin Feng's life."
Su Qian sneered, "Don't tell me I don't know. The Black Scarf Society has always been developing inland, but it has never been heard of in Zhenxi."
"Don't worry, sir. As long as you agree to submit to King Fu, we will be one family from now on. The Black Scarf Society has countless talented people. Lin Feng is nothing to us."
Su Qian pondered for a while, then slammed the table.
"If you can get rid of Lin Feng, I will agree to submit to King Fu."
"Okay, it's a deal."
"I will never regret it."
The three of them stared at each other and laughed.
Lin Feng has been very busy these days.
Because Wang Qian's team had chariots and could not move fast, he failed to intercept Bilan's two thousand cavalrymen.
The Qin side also came to the border town and strongly requested Lin Feng to send troops to the provincial capital to capture Su Qian and Du Lisheng.
He was temporarily calmed down by Lin Feng.
Because Border Town has just been started, there is still a lot of work to be done.
Su Qian and Du Lisheng’s crime of colluding with the Tartars to frame General Qin will definitely be settled in the future.
After the Qin side arrived, it also had a great calming effect on the border city troops.
After all, his father has always been the boss of the border town army.
Lin Feng began to redeploy the Qingshui troops in several areas including Lingdouzi Castle, Qingshui Camp, Qingshui County, Bin County, Bin County Camp and Weiyuan County.
By using the old to lead the new, the organization of the 30,000 border city troops was completely disrupted.
Strict training and screening will be carried out in the same way as before.
The Qin army stationed 15,000 troops in the border town.
The king was stationed at Lingdouzi Castle with a garrison of 10,000 men.
Zhang Changyou was stationed in Qingshui County and Qingshui Camp with a garrison of 8,000 men.
Li Donglai garrisoned Bing County City and Bing County Camp with a garrison of 5,000 men.
Hu Jincai was stationed in Weiyuan County with a garrison of 10,000 troops.
Lin Qiaomei's long-range attack force of 5,000 people assisted in the defense between the border town and Lingdouzi.
Zhao Shuo did not seize a complete army, but he picked out a lot of elite soldiers from the palace army.
Lin Feng’s guard team was expanded to 500 people.
Zhao Shuo personally served as the captain of the guard, and Cheng Liang and Wen Jian were deputy captains.
The entire government army changed its equipment and was uniformly identified as the Qingshui Army.
Lin Feng's headquarters was still located in Lingdouzi Castle.
The border town is very large, with many buildings, and eighty to ninety percent of them are idle.
There is also a lot of land outside the city, which has been abandoned for many years.
Lin Feng transferred Wen Cheng to the border town to serve as the city guard, and led the original civilian officials of the border town to start a large-scale propaganda to recruit refugees.
The clean water policy is still in place, with land free for farming and houses free for living.
First come, first served.
Grain seeds are also distributed free of charge.
Lin Feng's uncle Lin Tong was also recruited to the border town and began to distribute daily necessities and farming tools for free.
You only need to register your name and address to freely choose various utensils and tools.
When you have money in the future, you can repay it at cost price.
Lin Feng’s purpose is very simple, as long as you come, everything is free.
Once you are settled, have hope for the future, and have enough food and clothing, I won’t be afraid that you won’t pay me back.
I'll remember all the accounts with Wen Cheng clearly for you.
As long as the population increases and the base number grows, even if the tax is halved compared to the court, one can still become very wealthy.
Lin Tong had also recruited a group of businessmen from various places in the mainland.
Invest in business in Qingshui and various counties.
Hotels, post stations, brothels, grain stores, groceries, blacksmith shops, various handicraft businesses, etc. gradually opened for business in the border town.
Almost all the businesses that exist in every county are gradually appearing here.
Forty-five-year-old Zhou Laoyuan and his family of five were the first people to arrive in the border town.
He was originally from Zhoujia Village near the border town. After the Tartars invaded, he fled with his family.
I had already settled down in Qingshui, but I heard that the border town was recruiting people.
To have a better life.
The old couple took their son, daughter-in-law, and grandson and went into the city immediately. Following the signs, they went to the government office to register.
Then, he took his family and searched the city for a house to live in, feeling uneasy.
A minor official accompanied them and patiently followed them into this courtyard. If they were not satisfied, they would go to another courtyard.
In one morning, I visited seven or eight houses.
Finally, I found a house with two courtyards to live in.
After registration, the clerk told Zhou Laoyuan that he could go and get farming tools for free.
The Zhou Laoyuan family, who were skeptical at first, finally got their little home in order.
They just sat together, looked around excitedly, and touched various furniture.
"This...is this ours again?"
