Eight Hills in the Eastern Jin Dynasty - #4646 - Vol 4 Chapter 4304: Aftermath, Meng Chang calms people's hearts

Liu Yu said calmly: “The vast majority of ordinary people and ordinary people will not betray the country and surrender to the enemy, but if it is a spy who was ambushed by the enemy from the beginning, then it is uncertain. This time we will continue to give us more information. Wake up, our city is full of dangers, and the enemy’s spies are everywhere. Only by considering the difficulties and better preventing the destruction of the enemy’s spies, can we guard Jiankang and protect the whole city The lives of more than 200,000 people.”

Wang Miaoyin smiled slightly: “You can clearly distinguish the difference between ideal and reality, and no longer cling to those things that are too noble, Brother Yu, I am very happy to see this transformation of yours. Only in this way can you truly adapt to this world , because in this world, there are not only simple and kind people, not everyone can be influenced by your righteousness or nobility, you must have enough deterrent power to suppress those bad guys, wicked people.”

Liu Yu said in a deep voice: “I have been in the army for many years and have killed people like hemp, but I have never killed an innocent person under my sword. Only by eliminating evil and doing everything can we protect goodness. I am very clear about this truth. The battle of defense is related to the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in the whole city, and it is even more related to the future of tens of millions of people in Dajin. I can’t lose, I can’t hand over the common people in the world to the demons and thieves, to the hands of demons like Tiandaomeng. Therefore, I We must use all means to win this battle.”

“Meng Chang’s death will make people panic in the city. Ordinary people will think that the prime minister in the city cannot escape the enemy’s assassination, or according to our statement, he committed suicide by taking medicine, which also proves that a prime minister like Meng Chang is right. If there is no confidence in defending the city, it will definitely shake the morale of the army. If it is not for defending Jiankang City, maybe at this time, I will consider withdrawing troops.”

Wang Miaoyin’s face changed: “Is it really so serious?”

Liu Yu said sternly: “Perhaps in the eyes of your family, Meng Chang is just a middle- and lower-class gentry who fled from the north with the army, Han Qiuba, and he can even be classified as a poor family. Such a person will die. It’s no big deal if he dies, there are countless children from the family lined up to take his place.”

“However, in the eyes of the common people, Meng Chang has been a parent official in the capital for nearly ten years. Even many people in Jiankang don’t know that I am General Liu, because I have been out of town for many years, but they will not know this. Meng Jingzhao, this is the biggest official they know. Later, Meng Jingzhao became Meng Pushe, Meng Xianggong. During the year when I went to Nanyan, all the government orders in the court came from Meng Xianggong, except for the emperor and me. Besides, he is the biggest.”

Wang Miaoyin mused to herself thoughtfully: “That’s true. It’s better to be in charge now than to be in charge now. In the eyes of the people in the capital, if the parents’ official becomes the prime minister, then the position may still be higher than you. As a result, the devil came and you Come back at this time, but Meng Xianggong committed suicide, which will definitely break their mentality.”

Liu Yu sighed: “Mr. Meng asked them to actively enlist in the army and kill thieves the day before, but they committed suicide today. At least these soldiers and their families he recruited will be shaken. At this time, we must not ignore people’s hearts. Once the soldiers and civilians in the whole city are unable to unite as one and work together, the city will be destroyed even if the demons don’t need to attack the city.”

“Think about Huanxuan’s appearance when he failed. In fact, after the battle of Luoluoqiao, he had already lost, because the trustworthy Jingzhou soldiers and horses, as well as his right-hand man Wu Fuzhi and Huangfufu all died in battle. Although the Beifu Army seems to be working for him, its loyalty is suspicious. He thought that if he controlled the family members of the Beifu Army, he would be able to control the army to serve him, but he did not have enough troops, so he could only use the tribal servants of the aristocratic family to monitor For the families of the Beifu army, this is tantamount to betting the loyalty of the Beifu army on the aristocratic family.”

Wang Miaoyin smiled slightly: “The result is that the big families in the city, headed by Wang Mi, including Xie Hun, all turned their allegiance to you, saying that they would not carry out Huan Xuan’s order and execute their families when the Beifu army turned their backs. The last scruples of the soldiers of the Beifu army are gone. Therefore, the outcome of this battle is already doomed before it starts, and it really turns people’s hearts against each other, and the world is reversed.”

Liu Yu said sternly: “Yes, Huanxuan’s failure back then is just in front of us. We can’t make his mistakes, and don’t think that if we control the families of the recruits, we can make them work for them. People’s family members are centralized and managed, but not to threaten or persecute them, but to prevent the spies from taking the opportunity to spread rumors and shake the hearts of the soldiers in the city. As long as we don’t mess ourselves up, I will be sure to defend Jiankang City.”

Wang Miaoyin said in a deep voice: “So, you have to minimize the negative impact of Meng Chang’s death, at least not because of his death, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com will make people in the city chaotic, and they will collapse without a fight, right? ?”

Liu Yu sighed: “Yes, first gather everyone together, five households, one guarantee, ten guarantees and one mile, and centralized management with the mile as a unit, which is also in line with the setting of a team of fifty people in the army. If someone takes the opportunity to spread Rumors, you need Xie Hui’s secret guards to find them out immediately and punish them severely, so as to prevent the spread of all kinds of rumors and rumors.”

Wang Miaoyin nodded: “I will arrange it, and hundreds of family members of the hidden guards will also be incorporated into the families of these newly recruited soldiers, so that we can find out the source of the rumors. However, only relying on coercion , I’m afraid we can’t put an end to the spread of these rumors, after all, Meng Chang’s death is a fact, even if we call it suicide, people will still discuss it.”

Liu Yu frowned, nodded and said: “I understand what you mean, this is only a temporary solution, and I will use my method to inspire and inspire people again. In the past two days, Meng Huaiyu’s department has followed my previous order, In Jiangbei and the west of the city, they used the method of changing banners and entering the city to bluff. The army of 10,000 people pulled out a scale of 30,000 people, which made the devils afraid. He is indeed a rare good general, and now Meng Chang has come out like this I have to appease Huaiyu and Meng Chang’s wife first.”

Wang Miaoyin sighed: “Mrs. Meng, the Zhou family, is a rare and wonderful woman. When Jingkou established justice, Meng Chang was afraid that his family would be hurt if he failed, so he wanted to reconcile with the Zhou family and sever ties. As a result, the Zhou family knew the truth. Later, he dissipated his family assets to subsidize the military, and even brought in his own sister to make a large number of crimson military uniforms for the use of righteous men. Although this woman is a woman, she is as courageous as a man. Meng Chang has today’s In terms of status, the Zhou family has contributed a lot, I think you need to have a good chat with Meng Huaiyu and the Zhou family, and only by dealing with Meng Chang’s affairs first, will it be the best for the stability of the people in the city.”
