Chapter 387

Yiling, as an important place for Huguang to enter Sichuan by land, has always been the west gate of Huguang. It is one of the three major battles during the Three Kingdoms period, where the battle of Yiling took place.

It is said that Liu Bei was burned here, with 700000 troops, one out of ten, officially opening the prelude to the tripartite confrontation.

However, it was such a strategic place. At the end of June, the governor of Yiling finally took the initiative to send someone to Xiangyang to belong to Najiang.

There is no way. The gentry landlords and military officers in the territory are ready to move. There are also examples of other prefectures and county magistrates being captured by local gentry landlords and presented to the Chinese army. In order to save their lives, the prefect Lu Ming had to choose to follow the trend.

With the annexation of Yiling, several nearby counties also defected one after another. Looking around, the counties in the north of Huguang and the Yangtze River were all subordinate to the state of Daqin in just one month.

On this day, in the north of Yiling City, early in the morning, the prefecture magistrate took hundreds of gentry and officials to the gate of the city to wait. They were both worried and looking forward to it, but Lu Ming, the prefecture magistrate, looked indifferent.

The people who entered the city were stopped by the constable and the Yamen. Some chose to take a detour to enter the city at his gate, while others stayed, talked and speculated.

"Brother Buffalo, who are these masters welcoming? I've been standing for more than an hour, tut tut... "

"Anyway, this battle should be a big official's fault. Don't you see that even master Niu in our town has come?"

A thin young man and a strong man asked and answered, which aroused the speculation and curiosity of the people nearby. No one was willing to leave on a hot day.

It was not until noon that a large group of people appeared on the distant official road, and hundreds of soldiers escorted more than a dozen carriages slowly.

Lu Ming, the governor of the prefecture, and the gentry were shocked. They quickly ordered people to stop the noisy people. If it hadn't been for the sake of being more grand, they would have driven these mud legs away.

"Lu Ming, the magistrate of Yiling, welcomes the senior official of the Qin Dynasty to Yiling!"

"Welcome the officer!"

After the carriage came to a close stop, Lu Ming quickly hugged his fist and said in a loud voice. Other gentry also followed suit and bowed down to salute.

The people on both sides quickly knelt down and kowtowed. At this time, they knew that it was the officials of the state of Qin. They also woke up one after another. The magistrate and these old men surrendered from the thieves.

In this regard, the people were not happy at all. Instead, they were a little nervous. In the past, they learned relevant information about the Chinese army, which was told by the landlord in the town.

According to the landlords, the Chinese army is not only cruel and cruel, burning, killing and looting wherever they go, but also likes to annihilate other people's wives and daughters, so they all kneel on the ground and dare not go out.

"You don't have to be polite!"

"I am Huang Bin, the new governor of Yiling in the Administrative Council of the state of Qin. In the future, I will rely more on the elders and squires of Yiling."

The first person to get out of the carriage was a young scribe in his twenties. He was dressed in a blue official robe. It was like that. He bowed back and introduced.

Just as Lu Ming and the gentry wanted to be polite to Liu mu, a young man came out of the carriage and stood directly on the condescending arched hand Road on the carriage:

"Let's get up, I'm the law of the great Qin Dynasty. People don't have to kneel down when they see officials. In the future, we will all be the people of the great Qin Dynasty. We will kneel to heaven, kneel to our parents and kneel to the king. We are Liu Mu, the new Yiling judge of the court of the great Qin state. In the future, if we have grievances, we will come to the Yamen to complain. No matter who we are, we will deal with them impartially and never tolerate them!"

A group of gentry and landlords looked at Huang Bin in a black official robe and looked at each other. Obviously, they didn't know what the judge was doing, and the people kneeling on the ground were also you. Look at me, I look at you. I was a little overwhelmed, but it was the official's opening, and no one was willing to kneel on the ground.

Liu mu, the magistrate of the prefecture, saw that this guy stole the limelight from him when he came, and his eyebrows immediately wrinkled slightly. However, although he was the Sanzhou magistrate of the sixth grade, half a grade higher than Huang Bin's judge from the sixth grade, they were different from each other, and it was hard for him to say anything.

All the landlords and gentry looked like human beings. Although they didn't know their subordinate relationship, they guessed that they might be wrong based on their reaction, and their hearts moved immediately.

Just as Huang Bin jumped out of the carriage and the people were ready to greet him, a big man in armor came up from behind and shouted at a high voice.

"I'm Liu Da Pao, the new garrison of Yiling Prefecture in the Qin Dynasty. I'll be responsible for the defense of Yiling in the future... By the way, I'm going to recruit 500 recruits from Yiling garrison camp, aged 18 to 22. Those who want to join can sign up at any time. They can not only eat and live, but also become a formal Chinese army in the future with a minimum salary of 32 silver a month, If you have made war achievements, maybe you can be a mother-in-law... Ha ha! "

Liu Da Pao's voice was much louder than that of the two civil servants. At first, he made an introduction according to the opening of the two civil servants, but he couldn't stop the car.

Especially when it comes to courting women, I think of the charming little lady I held not long ago. Proud, I burst out laughing.

"Cough, Liu liushou, don't damage the image of the state of Qin in public!"

Liu Mu and Huang Bin saw that they were frightened by Liu cannon. They were full of black lines on their heads. Liu Mu coughed with his back and hands.

Some of the people are ready to move.

Fortunately, at this time, a beautiful woman with beautiful appearance and dignified temperament came up from behind, supported by two servant girls, breaking the embarrassing atmosphere.

Looking at the beautiful woman coming, both the gentry and landlords in front and the people on both sides were very surprised.

Obviously, it is unreasonable to take a beautiful woman as the wife of one of the three. Moreover, it makes her appear in public.

Although the beautiful woman has been the mayor for more than a year, most of her contacts are ordinary people with little insight. Now she appears in front of so many gentry, and her heart is still a little nervous.

"Cough, ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you. This is Mrs. Zhou, the special envoy of the state of Qin to Yiling."

Liu Mu said awkwardly that if the judge Huang Bin just made him a little unhappy, and the vulgar martial artist Liu cannon made him a little sick, then Mrs. Zhou definitely made him gnash his teeth, hate and helpless, so she just gave him a brief introduction.

Because this time, Mrs. Zhou was not the only one who came with them, but more than a dozen women and hundreds of servant girls and concubines.

Don't think he knows that Mrs. Zhou was not just monitoring him. Once he made a mistake, the widows would take over all the government affairs of Yiling at the first time.

"Met the special envoy!"

The gentry are not fools. Ordinary people don't know the state of Qin, but they know very well. Seeing that Liu Mu and Huang Bin's faces are obviously wrong, they don't understand. Mrs. Zhou's status is absolutely no better than these two people, so they came forward to salute one after another.

As for Lu Ming, an outdated Prefecture magistrate, he was pushed behind. Obviously, no one cares about his feelings anymore, and Lu Ming doesn't care. He is from the south of the Yangtze River. His family members are in his hometown, so he just wants to be able to retreat.

If he hadn't worried about being caught by the Chinese Army on the way, he would have secretly run away. Where would he stay here waiting for the handover.

"You're welcome!"

Mrs. Zhou simply returned the gift without saying anything, and the other ladies stayed in the carriage without showing up.

After another greeting, a group of gentry surrounded the carriage, entered the city and went to the prefecture government office.

As for the welcome banquet held in the evening, Mrs. Zhou and Huang Bin declined, except that Liu mu, the prefecture magistrate, said he would be there.

Liu Da Pao wanted to participate in the garrison, but when he thought of the military law of the Chinese army, he could only reluctantly refuse.
