Chapter 1605 1607 [Recover Luoyang]
"Liu Jin is dead, are you still fighting for him?" Xiang Nan raised Liu Jin''s head and shouted to the soldiers.
The soldiers were still fighting with Jun Bao. When they saw that Liu Jin was dead and his head had been cut off, they couldn''t help but froze there and were at a loss for a moment.
"Kill them and avenge the emperor." At this time, a captain of the soldiers shouted loudly, and then took the lead and rushed forward.
When Jun Bao heard this, he immediately kicked him. The long knife that fell on the ground flew up and nailed the captain to the ground.
??The soldiers became headless flies and were once again stunned.
"Hurry up and grab the things. If you''re too late, the gold, silver and jewelry of Liu''s house will all be snatched away by others." Seeing this, Xiang Nan shouted again.
?Hearing what he said, the soldiers suddenly realized, and then they turned their guns and ran into Liu''s house and started looting.
? Xiang Nan and Jun Bao took the opportunity to leave the Liu Mansion and found Taoist Ling outside the mansion. They saw that he and his people were already waiting outside the mansion.
"This is the head of the gelding Liu Jin. He has been killed by me. Now the Liu Mansion is in chaos. Everyone rush in with me." Xiang Nan said immediately.
Everyone couldn''t help but get excited when they saw Liu Jin''s head. They are all common people in the city, and they have been harmed by Liu Jin for a long time. It can be said that every family wears filial piety and every family dies.
?They have long hated him so much that they wish they could eat his flesh and sleep on his skin. Therefore, as soon as Taoist Ling incited them, they followed. Now that Liu Jin is dead and the Liu family is in chaos, it is a good opportunity to take revenge.
?So Xiang Nan responded to his call, and everyone immediately took shovels, wooden sticks, kitchen knives, etc., and followed him into the Liu Mansion.
Xiang Nan led the way, followed by hundreds of angry people.
Jun Bao shouted loudly in the city, "Liu Jin has been killed by Master Tai Chi. Master Tai Chi, save the people, castrate the dog and give it a head, and the people will be liberated~"
…
Half an hour later, the whole city was in a commotion.
People in the whole city were hesitant to believe it, but in the end there were still more believers.
Because of the name of Master Tai Chi, they have basically heard of it. A few days ago, Liu Jin led an army of 10,000 to suppress the rebellion, but they were unable to kill him, which shows how powerful he is.
Now that Liu Jin was killed by him, the people are naturally willing to believe it is true.
Even Liu Jin''s confidants who were guarding the city came with their troops after hearing the news.
They were not concerned about Liu Jin''s safety.
Because Liu Jin''s real confidants are the eight auxiliary sword commanders and the captain of the personal guard. And these generals who defended the city were only promoted after the eight major auxiliary swordsmen were gone. He didn''t have a few days to be loyal to Liu Jin.
They came with their troops mainly to grab things. By grabbing gold, silver, jewelry, grain, grass and military supplies, their strength will be greatly increased. At that time, it will be of great benefit whether it is to continue to defend Luoyang City, turn into bandits, or raise the banner of rebellion.
It''s just that their strength is even worse than Liu Jin''s.
?Jun Bao threw a piece of tile casually and knocked them off their horses. No one knew what was going on.
After losing their restraints, the soldiers saw that everyone was looting property in the Liu Mansion, and they no longer cared about the safety of these generals. They rushed into the Liu Mansion and started grabbing.
…
?This chaotic situation lasted for two hours and did not stop until daylight.
The reason why they stopped was because after dawn, the people came to Liu Mansion to watch the excitement.
Xiang Nan took the opportunity to reveal his identity and spread Liu Jin''s head around.
Seeing that the castrated dog was really decapitated, the people worshiped him one after another.
Xiang Nan took the opportunity to organize the people and take over Luoyang City. The village elders are responsible for distributing food. They also organized young men, armed with weapons, to capture all the officers and soldiers who were still robbing Liu''s house. "The Liu Mansion''s gold, silver, treasures, grain, grass and military supplies are all looted from the people. They belong to us Luoyang people and cannot be taken away by these rebels." Xiang Nan shouted.
The people naturally responded.
All their property was plundered by Liu Jin. The money in Liu''s mansion was their money, and the grain in Liu''s mansion was their food.
?These rebels usually bully them, but now that Liu Jin is dead, they still want to take away their money, which is not so cheap.
Therefore, under Xiang Nan''s organization, everyone is united and can break gold. The rebels were busy grabbing things and regarded each other as enemies. It could be said that they were in a state of disunity.
Therefore, under the leadership of Xiang Nan, the people united as one and finally subdued the rebels.
Subsequently, Xiang Nan distributed the tens of thousands of stones of grain stored by the Liu Mansion to the people one after another.
As for the gold, silver and jewels, Xiang Nan planned to use them all to buy grain, which would then be distributed to the people.
?Because his prestige was high enough and the people trusted him, they had no doubts and thanked him without mentioning anything.
After dividing the money and food, Xiang Nan organized young men to guard the city gate. After all, the city gate is empty now. Once the rebels attack, the people will suffer again.
Because of his high popularity, people all trust Xiang Nan. Moreover, in troubled times, they also need the protection of the strong, so the two sides hit it off.
From capturing the Liu Mansion, quelling the rebellion, to distributing food and maintaining order, it can be said that there are countless things involved. But fortunately, Xiang Nan has a very high reputation and has a lot of management experience, so by evening, everything was finally arranged.
??Luoyang City has also regained some of its charm.
…
Subsequently, the news that Xiang Nan got rid of Liu Jin and recovered Luoyang City was spread.
For a time, many rebels sent people one after another, hoping that Xiang Nan could join them, or form an alliance with them, or directly hand over Luoyang City to them.
On the one hand, Luoyang City is tall and tall, which allows them to effectively prevent the attacks of officers and soldiers; on the other hand, Luoyang City has a population of hundreds of thousands, which also facilitates their recruitment of troops.
?However, they were rejected one by one by Xiang Nan.
?This naturally made the rebels dissatisfied, but at this moment, they did not dare to fall out with Xiang Nan. After all, Xiang Nan could even defeat Liu Jin''s army of tens of thousands, so what do they think of these rebels?
Xiang Nan then organized the young men and drove away some of the remaining defeated generals and stragglers around Luoyang City. While the weather is still mild at the moment, take the time to resume farming.
Because Luoyang is now surrounded by rebels. They attack the government, destroy the county, and separat one side, cutting off business travel and making it difficult for goods to circulate.
?Especially the most important food, Luoyang’s food supply has increased tenfold from the beginning of the year to now.
In the past, one stone of white rice cost only one or two taels of silver, but now the price of one stone of white rice has reached thirteen taels. People could not afford rice and had to eat bran.
?Although Xiang Nan seized tens of thousands of shi of grain from the Liu Mansion, evenly distributed it would only amount to a few dozen kilograms per person. Even if you eat frugally, you can only eat it for a month at most.
If no new food comes, the people in the city will have no choice but to flee or starve to death.
Therefore, Xiang Nancai organized the people to resume farming. While it was still September, they planted some radishes, cabbage, sorghum, millet, etc., which could at least fill their stomachs.
In order to prevent people from working as foreign workers and not working hard, Xiang Nan also adopted the agricultural production cooperative system of the year, dividing the teams into sub-districts, with village elders serving as team leaders, and recording evaluations and work points. After the grain was harvested, the work points were divided into food.
The more you work, the more you will get, the less you work, the less you will get, and the more you work, the more you will get. The common people also knew that if they stopped farming now, they would have no food to eat in the future, so they all responded positively.
For a time, Luoyang City became a hot spot for vigorous construction within a radius of dozens of miles.
