Zhao Tongpan trembled as he held the 200,000 taels of silver note, looked deeply at Prefect Liu, and followed Jinju out of the hall.
Prefect Liu breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Chen Yong.
"Your Majesty, all the wells in the city have water this morning, and the people are kneeling to thank King Qianhuang."
"As soon as the prince entered Bailong City, Bailong City had water even though it hadn't rained. This was all thanks to the prince. The Dragon King was protecting the prince."
Of course, he didn't just say these words.
On the way to the prefectural government office, many people knelt on the ground excitedly, thanking God and King Qianhuang.
The entry of King Qianhuang's army into Bailong City caused such a huge commotion that no common people were unaware of it.
Chen Yong pulled the corner of his lips and looked at Prefect Liu.
"It's already mid-October, and the weather is getting colder day by day. What Governor Liu needs to worry about now is not the water problem, but how the people can survive this winter."
"...Yes!" Governor Liu paused and pursed his lips.
"I have sent word to the wealthy merchants and noble families in Bailong City. The cotton will be delivered soon."
"The soldiers will definitely be wearing cotton clothes before November."
As the prefect of Bailong City, he would definitely take these issues into consideration.
He also visited and inspected the large heated bunk beds built in the Qianhuang City military camp.
However, it would not be easy to build so many houses in Bailong City.
However, he had already discussed this with Governor Deng, and after the craftsmen in Qianhuang City finished their work in the workshop, they would come to Bailong City to help build the military camp.
Shen Yong nodded, "Has the recruitment order been issued?"
"It's been sent out." Prefect Liu smiled. "After the news of the generous military pay spread, the people were very enthusiastic about signing up to serve in the army."
"Conservatively speaking, we can add another 50,000 soldiers."
Chen Yong nodded and looked at Cheng Suihua, "Sister-in-law, the number of soldiers in Bailong City should be over 100,000. I'll have to take care of their food, salaries, and training."
Cheng Suihua was startled, looked at Chen Yong and nodded solemnly.
"Don't worry, Seventh Brother. I will send these soldiers to assist you as soon as they recover."
Oh my god!!!
She felt extremely nervous at the thought of being in charge of 100,000 soldiers.
Seventh Brother trusts her so much, she must protect the rear for Seventh Brother! !
(Sister-in-law's dependency value: +3, total dependency value 46...)
(Total dependency value 253.....)
Hearing the news of the increase in dependency value, Chen Yong paused slightly, and raised the corners of his mouth.
"I believe my sister-in-law, there will be no problem."
After saying that, Shen Yong looked at Prefect Liu.
"What did the Fanjing City prefect say?!"
Magistrate Liu sighed and shook his head. "I sent a letter to Magistrate Luo seven days ago, but he hasn't replied yet."
Why!
Magistrate Luo is really confused. Why is he still hesitating at this time?
Fanjing City is so far away from the capital, why can't Prefect Luo understand that Emperor Tianwu has no time to send troops to support Fanjing City.
Those who know the current situation should quickly surrender to King Qianhuang. At least the people of Fanjing City will no longer suffer and their lives will be better.
If he didn't have some friendship with Magistrate Luo, he would never have wanted to write that letter to persuade him to surrender.
It took him a lot of determination to write the letter.
After sending that letter, there was no turning back.
Chen Yong curled the corners of his lips.
"Then we won't wait any longer. The army will set out tomorrow morning to attack Fanjing City."
If he doesn't know what's going on, then beat him until he kneels down and begs for mercy.
What he wanted now was a quick victory, and before Emperor Tianwu could react, he could march straight to the capital.
Maintain troops for a thousand days and use them for a moment.
These soldiers have been kept in Qianhuang City for three or four months, and it is time to release them to intimidate Emperor Tianwu.
"So fast!" Prefect Liu looked at Chen Yong in shock and muttered.
He thought that King Qianhuang's golden armored army would have to rest in Bailong City for at least a few days.
The name of the army is domineering.
Originally, only the people guarding the city gate with Ji Yongjia were the Golden Armored Army.
After King Qianhuang entered the city with a large army, he announced that all the soldiers under his command were Golden Armor Army.
......
Fanjing City...
"Sir, King Qianhuang's army has occupied Bailong City."
The master looked at Magistrate Luo anxiously.
"We only have 20,000 defenders, but less than 5,000 of them are capable of fighting."
The lawyer's voice was extremely hoarse, and his words sounded like an old duck, which made Magistrate Luo feel annoyed.
Looking at the master's cracked lips, which were bleeding from his hasty speech, he didn't dare to say anything too harsh.
Magistrate Luo frowned, "Don't let others' power ruin your own reputation."
"Immediately mobilize all the soldiers in the city to the north gate to prepare for battle."
"Make sure to have enough bows and crossbows. Also, have everyone in the city bring all the oil to the north gate. Also bring all the large iron pots to the north gate and heat up the oil..."
Magistrate Luo frowned and gave orders all the methods he could think of to fight the enemy.
As a civilian official, he has no experience in leading troops in battle.
Not to mention that he has no such experience, there is no general with rich combat experience in the entire Fanjing City.
Fanjing City is quite far from the border. The Fire Phoenix Kingdom couldn't even conquer Qianhuang City, let alone Fanjing City. This had never happened before.
Who knew why Qianhuang City suddenly changed its name, and why a King Qianhuang appeared and occupied hundreds of thousands of troops guarding the border, and now he wants to rebel.
Magistrate Liu did not tell him in detail, but only persuaded him to surrender and join King Qianhuang.
They said that if they took refuge in King Qianhuang's city, the drought problem would be solved immediately, and the people's food and clothing problems would also be solved, with only benefits and no harm.
As for where this King Qianhuang came from and who he was, the letter from Governor Liu did not reveal a single word.
The boy who came to deliver the letter also knew nothing about anything.
How could he dare to commit such a heinous crime as confiscating property and exterminating the entire clan based on just one letter?
The lives of the nine members of the Luo family depend on his decision, he really doesn't dare.
The lawyer stared at Magistrate Luo in a daze, his lips trembling.
"Sir, the enemy has over 300,000 troops. If we start a war, it will be like throwing an egg against a rock."
"By then, Fanjing City will probably be flooded with blood!"
"My Lord, please think twice!!!"
How can we fight when the gap between us and the enemy is so huge?
He was not afraid of death, but afraid of dying in vain.
The master looked at the magistrate Luo who pursed his lips and said nothing, and continued to persuade him,
"Think about it, my lord. Our Fanjing City has been suffering from drought for a long time. The people in the city can no longer endure it. The wells in the whole city have dried up. If this continues, it won't be long before everyone dies of thirst."
"The drought has lasted so long, and the capital city hasn't shown any intention of providing disaster relief."
"You have written so many memorials, sir, asking the Emperor to send some disaster relief grain and a few talented people from the Imperial Astronomical Observatory to pray for rain."
“What’s the result?!”
