    "Empire Hegemony" Chapter 254

    In Wenshui County's county government office, Chen Zi'ang's temporary army headquarters was set up here.

    They captured Wenshui County effortlessly, and the county magistrate and a group of officials escaped with oil on their feet long before they captured the city.

    More than 20,000 troops marched into Wenshui County, making this small town in the north of Lujiang Prefecture crowded.

    But what made Chen Ziang and the others very depressed was that the people stranded in the city kept them at arm's length and were unwilling to contact them.

    "General, most of the young and strong have escaped to avoid disaster, and those left in the city are old and weak, and they are not very friendly to us."

    After Li Lang, the head of the banner, wandered around Wenshui County in person, except for those cold eyes, no commoner was willing to contact them.

    Li Lang saw a white-haired old man sitting under the eaves, and wanted to go up to find out more about the situation.

    But when he approached, the white-haired old man stood up and went back to the house, and closed the door with a bang, leaving Li Lang behind closed doors.

    At that time, there was a guard who was very angry and wanted to step forward to kick the door, but was stopped by Li Lang.

    Because he knows that if the Qinghe army wants to gain a foothold and rise in troubled times, it must establish a good image.

    Although it may be difficult at first, they must do so, otherwise they will be no different from other bandits.

    "We are newcomers, they don't know our Qinghe army well, and it's normal that they don't want to contact us."

    Chen Ziang understood the mentality of these people very well, so he didn't blame them.

    Because for these common people, it is not easy to struggle to survive in this chaotic world, and for these troops, they already have some fear.

    "The order has been passed down that all the food and money seized will be distributed to the common people, except for enough military use."

    Anyway, Chen Ziang and the others couldn't take away all the seized things, so he still prepared to distribute the things to the people according to the old rules.

    He believes that as long as they persist in doing so, there will always be people who will say good things about them, and they will continue to do good deeds, and they will soon establish a new image.

    According to Chen Ziang's order, Li Lang and the others placed the seized food and money at their doorsteps from door to door.

    "Fathers and elders, our Qinghe army has just arrived and has disturbed you all. We are here to match you up. We confiscated the money and food from the treasury. Please accept it."

    Although the residents in the city closed their doors and closed their doors and did not deal with the Qinghe Army, the brothers of the Qinghe Army still shouted loudly when they distributed food from house to house. After all, they had to let the people know their Qinghe Army's attitude.

    After completing the distribution of money and food, Chen Ziang and the others set off again in the direction of Lujiang Mansion after a short rest.

    "What are these Qinghe troops doing? How are they different from other bandits?"

    "I don't think it's the same. Instead of robbing us of our money and food, they even gave us food. It's better than those officers and soldiers."

    "People treat us so well, but we don't even give them a sip of water. It's really rude."

    These people are very kind and simple. They have misunderstood the Qinghe army, so they remain vigilant and do not want to contact them.

    However, the Qinghe army had strict military discipline. Instead of bullying them or robbing them of their belongings, they were also surprised by giving them money and food.

    "Now that we have the money and food, we can finally have a full meal."

    ?Because the local yamen collected too much tax, the local people have been struggling in dire straits.

    Now that they have the money and food distributed by the Qinghe Army at their door, they are not only happy, but also greatly increase their favorability for the Qinghe Army.

    Following Chen Zi'ang leading the Qinghe Army troops to leave, those people who went out to avoid the war because of fear of war also came back one after another.

    When they saw that the Qinghe army not only did nothing to their family, but also left them money and food, after they were stunned, they were grateful for the direction in which the Qinghe army left.

    Because now many people have handed in the food that many people worked so hard to grow, and now many people are relying on wild vegetables to satisfy their hunger.

    Now that the Qinghe army has left them so much money and food, they are also very moved, which is equivalent to saving their lives.

    "The Qinghe army is really a good man" Many people even wept with joy."Father, I'm hungry."

    The sallow and emaciated child also had a hungry stomach growling, tugging at the corner of his father's clothes, wanting to eat.

    "Hey, dad is going to cook you delicious rice porridge right now."

    The man took the food, kowtowed a few times in the direction Chen Ziang and the others were leaving, and then happily opened the door to go home and cook for his children.

    When the common people were happily cooking with food, many officials who had been hiding outside also came back.

    When they saw the empty treasury, they were also furious because there was no grain left.

    "My lord, my lord, the food was distributed to the people in the city by the bandit army."

    Some guards quickly found out where the food was, because Chen Ziang and the others could not hide the fact that they had distributed so much food to the people.

    "Wow, wow, I didn't expect the bandits to use our food to buy people's hearts!"

    "Send someone to take back all the food, not a single grain is missing!"

    ?After hearing that the food was distributed to the common people, the officials also ordered viciously to take it back.

    However, a lot of grain had already been boiled in the pot. When the guards arrived, they were very angry when they saw the grain being put into the pot.

    "Wow, you dare to eat official food, you are looking for death!"

    When the Qinghe army came, the officers ran faster than anyone else. When the Qinghe army just left, they came out again to do their best.

    The guards were collecting and distributing the food to the people. The people dared not speak out. They didn't even keep the food bags warm, and they were taken back. They were frustrated, angry, and so on.

    Many people wanted to hide the grain, but the guards didn't dare. Those who failed to hand over the grain, the guards beat them directly. In just half a day, more than ten people were killed.

    When these officials and servants who returned to the city were collecting grain and domineering everywhere, they didn't know that Chen Zi'ang killed a carbine and brought people back.

    "Don't hit my father, don't hit my father"

    On the street, a group of guards were beating a scrawny man. A teenage girl was crying and shouting to stop her, but she was thrown out by a guard and rolled down on the ground.  on the street.

    "My child, my poor child."

    The aunt who was watching hurried over to pick up the girl who had rolled down on the street, her eyes full of distress.

    Although there were hundreds of onlookers, they did not dare to step forward in the face of those vicious guards.

    "Da da da - da da da -"

    At this time, there were dense sounds of horseshoes on the streets in the city.

    Everyone followed their reputation, and saw a group of black-clad cavalry suddenly turning around the street corner, with black shirts and black cavalry cloaks. The cold black made people feel a huge pressure.

    "It's the thief army, the thief army is back!"

    I don't know who yelled, and the surrounding people fled in all directions, but the guards who were besieging the man hadn't reacted yet.

    When they saw the people around them scatter and run away, they turned around and saw the black-clothed cavalrymen covered in black, their faces turned pale with a swipe.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
