Chapter 30 Order

For the four Qing officials, Chen Wen can beat or scold them. Even if he dies, it is no big deal if he kills them all. After all, they are under the infamy of a traitor, so Chen Wen can face them without restraint.

But Kong Yanzhen is different. He is the direct lineage of the Southern Confucius School and the 65th generation grandson of Confucius. Not to mention beating and scolding, even if he is a little more serious, it may arouse group hostility from the Confucian scholar class.

Although he was not afraid of what thousands of people pointed out, he was not afraid of business in his early years, and his face was not overwhelmed by a smile. However, he is now shouldering the important task of expelling the barbarians and restoring the Han family's territory. What he is doing today is to regain the halo of orthodox for the Southern Ming Dynasty. Just as the Kong family could go south in the Southern Song Dynasty, the Southern Ming Dynasty could do the same, and the loyalty of the Southern School of the Kong family was also needed. But if he put himself in for this, it was unnecessary. Today, he was already the limit by scolding Han Yangchun and Cheng Jinzheng. After all, in such an era, Chen Wen could never leave a word to threaten the descendants of the saints.

However, Chen Wen couldn't block everyone's mouth when he was on others. Today's matter, those Qing Dynasty officials would definitely add fuel to the fire. Han Yangchun and Cheng Jinzheng were already angry with him, and they wouldn't mention it. They just said that Feng Rujing and Li Jiqi were biting people by no means. There was no need to think about it.

Kong Yanzhen had been sent back to the Kong family by Chen Wen's personal soldiers. The specific details must be decided by the Kong family themselves. I hope that the few questions before leaving can work. As for those Qing officials, Chen Wen suddenly didn't want to let them go so easily, and he had to squeeze out some surplus value.

However, Chen Wen is not concerned about these fragmented things now. He has indeed taken down this mansion, but many things are far from as simple as he imagined.

In terms of urban defense, the Ming army had completely controlled it, but the situation in the city was extremely poor. Due to Chen Jin's actions, the food reserves of the people had been astonishingly low. The rich were almost wiped out by the charges, and the food reserves of middle-class families were almost exhausted. As for ordinary people and those poor families, they had already fallen into a desperate situation.

In Quzhou City, grassroots, tree bark, rats, birds, cattle and horses have been searched and eaten. Some people who have eaten Guanyin soil have already found that they cannot discharge feces. If this continues, they will sooner or later die of swelling.

As for the phenomenon of cannibalism, it is said that the situation reported below is not without. Chen Wen knew that there were many hidden or exaggerated things in it for too short time, but the phenomenon of hunger actually appeared in this city, and all this came from Chen Jin's cruelty.

Chen Wen knew he was wrong. It turned out that Chen Jin was not transforming into a necromancer and turning the people of Quzhou into skeleton warriors. This bastard who was raised by the bastard planned to feed him with the flesh and blood of tens of thousands of people in a city, trying to make up for his greed and defend the city for the Qing Dynasty.

Chen Wen knew about this incident as Li Jinzhong and others fled to the Ming army camp. His viciousness really shocked those who were insiders. Food was easy to solve, but the wealthy families in this city were almost wiped out. The rest were all officials of the Qing Dynasty. These people were the targets of Chen Wen's attack. The four provinces, the richest places in the eight prefectures in eastern Zhejiang, were once the richest places, but now there is no basic business system, because there is no one left, and everything will no longer exist.

Now that Chen Jin is dead, the city has fallen into the hands of the Ming army, but his goal has been achieved. The Ming army must stay here for a while to wait for the city to recover and maintain the minimum order.

It was already lunch when the Ming army completely controlled the city. Chen Wen had a complete plan for the situation in the city, which was implemented by his staff and the army.

People are iron and food are steel. If you don’t eat for a meal, you will be so hungry that many people are hungry, and they are even one step away from death.

After the Ming army entered the city, the phenomenon of starvation to death was still starved, which was something that Chen Wen could not tolerate. So, after entering the city, the Ming army first guarded the warehouse as usual. Until it was confirmed that there was no resistance from the Qing army in the city. With the posting of the Anmin notice, at noon, Chen Wen divided the city into four areas according to the cross street of the city, each area was set up with a porridge point, and the Ming army was responsible for maintaining order.

In front of the county government in the city, Rong Qian was carrying the bowls and spoons he brought from home and was lined up in a long queue of Mingjun's porridge. Seeing the Ming army's chef at the end of the crowd, he was serving porridge for the people one by one. Although he didn't know whether the porridge was thin or thick, he could vaguely hear the gratitude of the people in the distance. I think it wouldn't be as thin as the Qing government before.

Rong Qian's family of six, out of distrust of this inexplicable kind-hearted Ming army, only he and his wife issued an announcement of the peace in the Ming army and walked out of the house to send porridge. Because the Ming army was indeed giving porridge, and the Ming army in the brigade was still maintaining order, and it didn't look like the army with broken military discipline, his wife hurried home to bring her parents, sister and young son to get porridge.

The abortion is slowly moving forward. From a distance, every person who has received the porridge will be guided to the edge of the queue, where they will finish the porridge and leave. As for whether to choose to go home or go back and continue to receive the porridge, it will vary from person to person.

After a while, Rong Qian had already walked halfway. The aroma of rice porridge at the end of the abortion became stronger and stronger, and the sound of saliva around him became more and more heavy. He even saw a bowl of rice porridge that could not be poured even if chopsticks were inserted into it. He felt that it was almost the same as rice.

Many people have seen similar situations. The rapid increase in hunger caused some people to become unruly. However, anyone who wants to be right, no matter what the reason is, they will be dragged out of the queue by the Ming army and thrown to the end and re-arranged. Naturally, they will be kicked a few times during this period.

After several unlucky guys who tried the method with their own body had to rearrange it, the order of the queue in front of Rong Qian began to become clear, and behind it was still the same. The phenomenon of the right position occurred from time to time, and even the Ming army began to turn their attention there.

These are not important to him, because the porridge is getting closer and closer, but his family has not arrived yet. According to the Ming army's request, he had to eat the porridge quickly and was not allowed to waste time there. These days of the besieging city, especially recently, Rong Qian was hungry, but he was not as fast as his mother and sister. He lined up here to let his wife go back just to be able to serve more for his mother and sister as a scholar. Now that his family has not arrived for a long time, he has already started to sweat.

At this moment, the call of his family came from afar, but he could not leave the queue, so he had to watch his family come anxiously, and at the same time attracted several Ming troops from afar.

"You need to queue up to get the porridge, and you cannot be in the right position. This is the rule."

The Ming army, who was led, looked like an officer, and seemed to have seen Rong Qian's father's dress as an old master. Seeing this, Rong Qian in the queue quickly said a few good words to the people around him, and then told a nearby Ming army that he had already rushed over.

When he arrived at his family, he stepped forward and bowed, and then explained to the officer: "This general, the students lined up in front of him, not the right position. The students' parents and sister have not had dinner in the past few days, so I hope they can be more comfortable."

"The general dares not, he is just a general." The officer was polite to see that he was a scholar. "Student, are you a scholar?"

Hearing this question, Rong Qian couldn't help but feel excited. "That's right, the student is a student of Yongzhou Prefecture, Huguang."

"Huguang, it is said to be very far away, why are you here?"

The officer was full of suspicion, and Rong Qian had to continue to explain: "The army in my hometown is in chaos, and the government and the Tartars were fighting over there repeatedly, so the students had to join their relatives here."

"I see."

Rong Qian could see that the officer seemed to be hesitant. He seemed to remember something, so he hurriedly said: "The student once worked in the curtain of Mr. He, the former general of the former Huguang commander."

I thought that I could get some convenience by raising my value. Although he didn't want to mention this past, but the current situation is now forced. Who knows how long the Ming Jun's porridge will last. It is better to have the family eat porridge early than to say less. As a result, the family cannot eat this hot rice.

But he didn't expect that the officer suddenly felt a little unhappy on his face after hearing what Mr. He, the general in Huguang, said, and then confirmed to him: "What are you talking about, He Tengjiao?"

He called him by his name, which was a very rude behavior, especially the high-ranking officials of the court who died for his country. When Rong Qian heard this, he was stunned, and the answers he connected were just mechanical reactions. At this time, the officer no longer had the politeness, but instead started to do his business.

"no!"

Hearing this, Rong Qian did not expect that this would be the case. He had no idea that because of the Cao Conglong Rebellion, the Ming army had a strong resistance to the civil servants in the military supervision, especially He Tengjiao. In the notice, he was a treacherous who was not even a good person than Cao Conglong. He claimed that he had worked as an aide to He Tengjiao, which was naturally counterproductive.

The abortion was still moving forward slowly, and his previous position was getting closer and closer to the porridge-drying point. Seeing this, Rong Qian was also a little anxious and quickly told the boss that he and his wife and children could go back and line up immediately, just to let his parents and sister line up with him. However, the officer still looked like he was doing business and refused to be content at all, until another officer with a higher level came over.

"The students and their wives and children can be rearranged immediately, but please let the two soldiers be compatible."

"What's going on?"

The new officer asked the previous officer and quickly figured out what was going on. Then he explained to Rongqian that this was a rule issued by the military judge, and that the military order was like a mountain falling, so naturally it could not be compatible.

"But, if it's changed, it's OK, but it's only this time."

Upon hearing this, Rong Qian was immediately happy and explained to his parents. As a result, his parents pushed each other a few times before finally getting his mother to where he had just been in the queue, while the other family members and him rushed to the end.

"Qian'er, this royal army is much stronger than the chaos in Huguang in terms of strict military discipline. No wonder it can easily defeat the Tartars several times their own. It seems that it is unknown who will win the final destiny of this world."

"What my father said is that it is indeed much better than the Thirteen Towns in Huguang. Even the army transferred from other places by the imperial court is not as good as it is. That's right, I don't know why Mr. He offended them. It seems that this royal army has never left Zhejiang."

Rong Qian's doubts soon dissipated as the queue continued to move forward. His mother quickly finished receiving the porridge, and the rest of the Rong family also slowly moved along with the queue. Just like before the other porridge dishes in this city, the Ming army tried hard to maintain order, and the people could receive porridge in turn as long as they abide by the regulations. Even if there were always some special situations, the overall order began to be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
