The question Sun Jiayan asked now is the most concerned focus of county residents (high-quality texts are first released, all in %).

Ruian County can be said to be a big city with a circumference of 1,140 meters. If it is converted into a kilometer, it will have a circumference of more than 3.4 kilometers. In ordinary coastal counties, this number is definitely considerable.

However, since the expansion of the county town during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, the circumference of the county town wall has maintained this scale. However, in the past century, the development of the entire county town has long exceeded this range.

Now outside the city gate, people built houses and set up shops there as early as the Qianlong period, and today it has reached its peak. There are more than 3,000 shops outside the city, and the number of merchants in the households is no less than that in the county town.

Yesterday, a rumor suddenly came on the market, saying that the red thief was approaching the county town. For the sake of the city's defense, Sun Hanlin made up his mind to burn all the more than 3,000 shops and houses outside the city. Soon this rumor spread throughout the city, and everyone was unstable.

In particular, the owners and tenants of these residential shops were running around, even pleading for the magistrate, and handing over a lot of money. They wanted to know whether this matter was true and wanted to protect these 3,000 residential shops.

When Sun Qiangming thought of this, he was also burning all over his body: "Third brother, even you ask me about this. I, the second brother, will tell you the truth!"

His brothers naturally didn't have much scruples when they spoke. Sun Qiangming directly pointed out: "It was said that I was in charge of the matter and wanted to burn these 3,000 residents' shops. That was nonsense, it was the treacherous plan of Liu Juehou, but he wanted to defend the city. How could there be a house outside the city? When Guilin defended the city, it was burning all the houses."

Sun Jiayan's face looked ugly: "But outside people say that this is the second brother's plan! Second brother, you have to make a long-term plan! You can't burn it, as it will be a grudge for half the city!"

Those houses and shops are just outside the city wall, and some of them are simply sticking to the city wall. If these buildings continue to exist, the city walls of Ruian City will be in vain.

Even if it is not close to the city wall, the offensive party can use these buildings to serve as the firepower and starting point for attacking the city wall. It can also demolish buildings for siege. When money in history attacked Ruian County, Sun Qiangming took the initiative to burn down these 3,000 houses and shops.

But the problem is that Liu Chang has spread the news into Ruian County. Now that the Red Turban Army has not yet arrived at the county town, Sun Hanlin wants to burn the property they have accumulated for decades. This has led many county residents with related interests to point the finger at Sun Qiangming, who is the legendary in charge of the matter.

"I don't know that this fire is together. I wonder how many people have worked hard to make a big fire for half their lives, but do our Sun family and the Red Turban Thief still have room for relief?"

First, Sun Yiyan's eldest son, Sun Yigu, died at the hands of the Red Turban Army, and then Sun Qianming's in-law Xu Muqian committed suicide in Hai'an City: "I heard that Liu Juehu once advised his in-laws to surrender to his in-laws to protect his in-laws, but his in-laws said he was guarding the city for me and died for this. I had to deal with the Red Thief until death. Besides, I said that so many people in our Sun family had died in vain, but they had to think about their elder brother!"

At this time, Sun Yiyan was bringing his second son and grandson to make him proud in the capital. He just took office this year and walked in the study. If Sun Qiangming had any political stains, he might not only lose his future, but also have life worries.

After hearing what his brother said, Sun Jiagu nodded: "The second brother said very well, but can he slow down and let the nearly 10,000 merchants and civilians outside the city have a buffer, so that they can bring out their property first! By the way, what is the situation of the battle between the government troops in Chashan? The magistrate said that the Yunshu led the army back to victory, and the yamen said that the town was defeated and left. However, the market said that he was defeated and even the prefect Ruichun died in front of the battle!"

Since they were all clear, Sun Qiangming also told his brothers the truth: "The market is right. My friend in the mansion sent me an urgent letter. The soldiers had just passed Nanbaixiang. Before they arrived at Chashan, tens of thousands of red scarf thieves came from all directions. Although they passed through the Yunshuo Department and fought hard, the mansion led their personal soldiers to block the dog thief Liu Juehu. After all, the enemy was numerous and we were few and were defeated. When they left the city, they were brave enough to 3,700 soldiers, and less than 2,000 soldiers came back!"

He sighed: "Ryan is now an isolated city. If it weren't for this, why should I make up my mind to arouse resentment from this half of the city!"

After he said this, Sun Jiayan could understand his second brother's suffering, but he still advised: "Second brother, why should you be this evil person? This matter should be done by the county master, otherwise even if the Red Thief is withdrawn, no one will know the difficulties of his second brother!"

"County Master?" Sun Qiangming gritted his teeth when he mentioned County Magistrate Zhang: "I only know how to make money when I die. I asked myself if I should raise 20,000 yuan for city defense first! At this point, I still only think about money!"

Sun Jiayan told his brother: "The second brother doesn't know about this? It's rumored that the second brother will make a lot of money to set up city defense this time. He said that 200,000 yuan of money cannot be used to fight the thief. He raised 20,000 yuan for the soldiers guarding the city. The big family needs to pay a hundred stakes, 20 stakes in the middle household, and 5 stakes in the small household! The second brother gets half of the 20,000 yuan of money, and half of the remaining amount will be used to transport officials in the city, and half will be used for city defense (high-quality text first, all in %)!"

Sun Qiangming was startled: "This must be a means used by Liu Juehu, which is hateful and hateful! I will post a list in person to show my innocence. This time I defend the city, I will use the county's treasury silver, and there is no need for a penny from the people! When the bandits retreat, I will find a way to fight for the upward peak. If I can't fight for it, I will be anxious to raise another aftermath."

"Second brother is the opinion of a scholar!" Sun Jiayan held his hand and said, "No, once the red thief siege siege siege, the investment of raising a brave man alone will not be enough. If you post this article, where will the source of salary come from then on!"

But Sun Qiangming disagreed: "I have handled the donation of my hometown and handled too many people. It is already a grievance for the whole city. Now that I have suffered such a slander, I am afraid that the whole city will be really grievance for the whole city! Is it not appropriate?"

As the saying goes, there is no wind and waves. In fact, although these rumors came from the Dragon Gun Camp, they were written by Shi Tuiji. He knew Ruian City well and had a close friend in the city. In just a few words, it caused a storm all over the city.

Especially when Sun Qianming handled his own donations, there were many public grievances. Shi Tuiji's rumors really hit his point: "I want to raise funds, but Isn't it a trick of the red thief? My Sun family has moved to Ruian for more than 900 years since the fifth generation, and it has been prosperous from generation to generation. When we reach our generation, we are extremely prosperous, but we didn't expect that if we want to be prosperous, we will decline!"

Sun Jiagu in turn persuaded his brother: "Second brother, the resentment of half of the city is also resentment, and the resentment of the whole city is also resentment. In my opinion, no matter what, protecting Ruian, no, protecting our Sun family is the key!"

He gave an example and said, "The 300 Tai Yongs who Xu Muqian contacted you for your second brother have not yet settled. In my opinion, no matter how many complaints you have, you should raise a military salary first and do what the Red Thief said!"

"First raise 20,000 taels of silver, half of which belongs to my Sun family, one quarter of which is distributed to the officials in the city, and the remaining quarter is used to handle the city defense!" Sun Jiayan said loudly: "When the Red Bandits defeated the Yunsi reinforcements, stay at rest, raise the money first!"

"What do I want money?" Sun Qianming was stunned by his brother's words: "What are you going to do!"

"If you don't make money, will there be less rumors on the market? I'll do this for you!" Sun Jiayan said bluntly: "The three brothers of our Sun family have all said two Jinshi, but no one remembers me, the third brother! I'll do this!"

"Nothing!"

"So what if you do it nonsense! Can you still kill me, the third brother?" Sun Jiagu said loudly: "I will make a fuss today. As long as we protect our Sun family, we will not be afraid of people's grievances in the city (high-quality text first, all in %)!"

Over the years, when people talked about the Sun family generation, they consciously or unconsciously forgot Sun Jiagu, but mentioned the two brothers of high school Jinshi. This was the first time that Sun Qiangming realized that his brother had such a side: "You want to protect our Sun family?"

"Our Sun family's nine hundred years of foundation cannot be ruined like this!" Sun Jiagu: "I'll do it. Just pretend you don't know about this!"

Sun Qiangming glanced at his brother: "Then you go and do it!"

He never expected that his third brother was so strong and he was so weak.

...

The Red Turban Army rested in the Chashan area for two days before moving south again. During this period, many of the dispersed Qing troops were captured.

This time, the southward advance was unstoppable again. He went south all the way and could no longer see villages that only had white flags. Most of them were half yellow flags and half white flags remained neutral. Many villages directly put yellow flags on all the trees, expressing their full support for the Red Turban Army.

Many people came to contact Ruian County. The original Red Thief suddenly turned into a righteous soldier. They were eager for the Red Turban Army to quickly break through Ruian County. The reason was only two points. One was that Sun Qianming wanted to burn more than 3,000 houses and shops outside the city, and the other was that Sun Qianming wanted to raise 200,000 yuan in funds, and the first phase was that 200,000 taels of silver city defense expenses were raised.

The residents of Ruian County, whose interests were damaged, suddenly turned to the Red Turban Army. They hoped that the Red Turban Army could quickly break through Ruian City and save the people from the fire and water.

Regarding this situation, Liu Chang had to admit that Shi Tuiji had a very good demeanor of Liu Juehu: "No, good, you are familiar with the place, and the idea is very good!"

Shi Tuiji smiled and said, "Why are we natives from Ruian. We have been dealing with the Sun brothers for so many years. It's not easy to come up with a few ideas, but..."

He asked a little doubt: "With Sun Qianming's personality, he heard the news that I had passed, so he had to avoid suspicion. After defending Ruian City, he raised another after-care expenses. How could he change his mind and do it according to my news? He even said he would raise 200,000 taels of silver!"

He couldn't understand, and Liu Chang immediately asked, "Can Sun Qianming have any killer moves!"

Shi Tuiji immediately thought: "It seems that Sun Hanlin wants to hire Tai Yong!"

Liu Chang thought that he would go north to Taizhou in the future and was very interested in the question of Taiyong: "Taiyong? Let's talk about it!"
