C610 The contest for the peoples hearts (1/2)
It was unknown how many people died on the streets today. Since Xiao Letian had started his family's business in the East Ocean, he had relied on killing his way through, to the point where he almost killed the Ryukyu s, Tanggu s and Green Battalion s as well as their seniors.
Today, Xiao Letian had finally killed his way to the Beijing. Who knows? Maybe the imperial treasury and the Ministry of Internal Affairs had all been emptied out by him.
However, what surprised them the most was that not only was the street empty of corpses, it was abnormally clean. All the streets were covered in notices, and the proud New Army standing guard.
The timid ones went straight home, while the fearless ones only dared to watch from the doorstep. Even if the New Army nodded to them, they would not dare to approach.
However, life had to continue. The rice vat in the rich man's house was full, but if the poor did not go out and look for work, they would have to starve. Gradually, some people who could not stand the hunger walked out.
”Mister soldier …” This little one will go to the rice shop to buy some mixed foods. The whole family is so hungry that they can't take it anymore … ”Please be magnanimous …” There was always someone who spoke first, and the response from the new army surprised them.
”The Beijing does not have a curfew, and we are not some random bandits. Right now, all of the Beijing's bandits have been suppressed and the elders can walk around as they please, so there's no need to be afraid …”
One of the elders' words softened the hearts of the commoner. When had this commoner ever heard the soldier call an elder? At that time, the old man almost cried out. However, what the new army said afterwards made him even more incredulous.
”Elder, if you wish to buy food, I recommend that you buy more in the afternoon. This afternoon, Prime Minister Xiao brought over a large amount of Annan rice, as well as Japanese and Korean rice from the sea.
”Really?” The old man was so surprised that he almost jumped up. Ever since the Beijing caused a ruckus in the city, the prices had skyrocketed and the little savings they had at home had long since been used up.
The one who patiently explained this to the old man was the sniper Ye Qiu. The battles had quickly made him mature, especially the martial demonstration in front of Supreme Harmony Hall. It had made the proud hearts of this group of rookies soar into the sky.
Arrogant but not arrogant, this was the motto of the new army. Under Xiao Letian's strict orders, all the soldiers were not to be disturbed.
”Our Prime Minister is a god of wealth riding a black tiger. How would he lie to our people? My Prime Minister did not lie to Ryukyu people and Japanese, how would he lie to you? ”
”Look at this notice, it's very clear that during the time that the new army is stationed in the capital, any actions that disturb the citizens can be reported to Flowers Lane. The Prime Minister will personally make the decision for all of you!” ”Just you wait. The food will be here in the afternoon. If you don't, come find me …”
”This is truly an eye-opening Bodhisattva!” ”I'll inform the neighborhood!”
Very quickly, the news of Prime Minister Xiao of the East China Sea transporting the food into the capital spread throughout the Beijing. As expected, the power of the food was immense, the fear of eating was overpowering, and the citizens finally dared to go out on the streets.
At every intersection, the security notices were surrounded by a large group of people. The cautious citizens didn't dare to approach the soldiers, only daring to surround them and look at the words written on the notices.
”Look, it says that a villain has appeared in the imperial court, inciting discord in the empress dowagers and even framing the innocence of the Empress Dowager of the East. This is the reason for the palace change …”
”Fuck, the treacherous subject that deceived the empress dowager was An Dehai and a royal guard called Sister Wu? Eunuch An, we all know, who is this Sister Wu? ”
”God knows!” However, it is not surprising for An Dehai to be able to do such a thing. That guy is greedy, he would rather send him a gift than enter the sect … ”
”Keep watching, there's more coming from behind!” Maylor led his troops to annihilate the Tanggu, inciting harm to the citizens. The villages near the left of the Tanggu were massacred, countless of corrupt scholars were raped, and countless of properties were looted … ”According to the statistics, the number of dead and wounded in Tanggu has reached as high as ten thousand, and Hai He is one of them …”
”The new army had shot Maylor to death in anger at the outskirts of Wu Qing City, and his corpse was sent back to Tanggu to be exposed for three days!”
”Oh my god, how could there be such a scene?”
The entire Beijing was stirred up, all they knew was that Maylor's army had gone out to battle, and the commoners had watched the show on the day of his departure. They had even shouted out a few words of praise for his victory, but they never expected that Maylor would actually be able to do such a thing.
Not only did the notice announce An Dehai's massacre of the citizens of Langfang, the capital became even more shocked. In the eyes of the citizens of the Beijing, the Tanggu was already a distant place, there were no relatives around.
However, the Langfang was different. It was almost like a satellite city of Beijing, with the same accent as usual. Relatives with relatives, friends with friends, that was truly breaking bones and breaking tendons.
”An Dehai, you deserve to die!” You are a beast … A thousand cuts on him! ”Kill this egg less thing …” The crowd immediately burst into an uproar.
Xiao Letian wanted to forge the iron while it was still hot, so the cavalry of the new army brought the notice and left the Nine Gates. In all the villages, fairs, and towns, they were covered with the notice of the Prime Minister.
Not only that, Xiao Letian continued to publish a copy of his own residence report under the name of the imperial government. It said that his loyal fist, Chi Zixin, had expressed it fully, and also denounced the conspirators in the imperial court, willing to use any means possible to force themselves against him.
