Chapter 106 Many thrifty in troubled times

The drums outside the city rumbled, and the soldiers in the city were in chaos. The threat of the real woman did have an effect, and there was a lot of riots in Taiyuan City.

People's hearts are upset, and this kind of thing is unimaginable in peace. People who enjoy long-term peace generally live in peace without thinking about danger, which is a characteristic of human nature. Usually, most people think about how to get promoted and get rich, how to marry a good woman and marry a good man to raise the next generation, father, mother and son filial piety, law-abiding and harmony, and so on.

In times of war, these things may collapse - this is the real chaos, which is not the same as ordinary crimes!

Today, Chu Tianya patrolled and checked the public security in the city. At this time, he realized that this errand was no easier than defending the city and defending the enemy.

The most chaotic one is the most prosperous Tangming Commercial Street in the past. As soon as the drums sounded outside the city, there were many cases of robbery, brawl, rape and even murder. Because in the past, in people's subconscious, people living here were very rich, and there were many restaurants and prostitutes in this place, which means that there will be a lot of scarce food at this time, and even delicious food. In addition, there are women who can solve their physiological needs!

It's really "disturbulent". These displaced people in the city first lost their homes and peaceful lives, and now they are facing hunger and death. As soon as the drums of the real actress sounded, they were extremely nervous and even close to the edge of collapse. Their mental state was like a weak embankment, and they were finally washed away by the flood!

All etiquette, righteousness and shame, and the law are often left behind, and the rest is the release of ** naked desire and the release of pressure! - The most direct manifestation is that people's thoughts that were bound by dogma and law in the past are released like crazy horses. For the most primitive physiological needs, they can do anything!

For good, Chu Tianya arrived in time and did not let this panic of collapse spread like a plague. Although several businesses were beaten, smashed, robbed and burned, and many people were killed and injured in the riots, the situation was finally effectively controlled after Chu Tianya issued a strict order to arrest and execute several of the worst leaders on the street.

Chu Tianya knows in his heart that he can't blindly suppress the situation at present. Otherwise, the tension and pressure in their hearts will only accumulate deeper and deeper, and one day they will cause a large-scale civil change, which will lead to the collapse of Taiyuan from the city.

Therefore, Chu Tianya carefully examined the people he arrested and found that 90% of them were people who came in from outside the city. In their own words, they have lost their homes, land, property and rations anyway, and now they are desperate. Once the female real person comes in, everyone has to die. It's better to be a full ghost. Before you die, you have to be "be happy"!

Now that they have found the root of their mental illness, Chu Tianya has a way to treat the problem. He first distributed stomach-wrapped rations and cold clothes to these people, and then invited his colleagues from the government to place these "prisoners" as soldiers and civilian husbands, and participated in the construction of the city and various corvée, which was regarded as the government requisitioning them, at least to ensure that they would not starve to death. At the same time, Chu Tianya also patiently explained to them that Wang Du led the officers and soldiers to resist, and there were "hundreds of thousands" of rebels outside the city to help fight. The Jurchens were "absolutely" unbreakable to break Taiyuan City, which strengthened their belief.

Faith is ethereal, but it is a sign that people are different from beasts and walking corpses. As long as there is faith, people's hearts can be stabilized, and Taiyuan City will not be chaotic!

Then, Chu Tianya immediately found Zhang Xiaochun to discuss. In view of the current situation and situation, he must immediately show the people and stabilize the hearts of the city. The method used is nothing more than what Chu Tianya said. The core is that "our army will win, and the enemy will lose". Let the people in the city stick to their faith, abide by the law, and believe in the government and the army. At the same time, inform the people in the city, but anyone who lacks short-term food and clothing can join the government and the army, or join the army or serve in exchange for food and clothing.

This trick is very effective. Human nature is like this. On the verge of despair and collapse, what they yearn for most is to see a trace of "hope" and catch a life-saving straw. Now, the government's notice plays this role, giving comfort and sustenance in the hearts of the people, and seeing the hope that the city can be defended and their lives can be preserved; even the refugees who are in hunger and cold can solve this basic livelihood problem!

Therefore, less than two hours after the notice was issued, the gate of Taiyuan Mansion was overcrowded - they all came to join the army or serve in the army!

Zhang Xiaochun is in trouble. Is it possible to really accept all these people and organize them into an army? He believes that, on the one hand, this is not in line with the laws and regulations of the conscription and use of the Song Dynasty; on the other hand, suddenly there are so many mouths to eat. Can the treasury and granaries stand it?

Chu Tianya said that the laws and regulations are dead, people are alive, and it must be expedient in times of emergency. Now that the people have been announced, the government must abide by the credit, and the people must not be bullied - all these people who come to the government have trust and hope for the government in their hearts. How can they be destroyed? The specific method can absorb the young and strong grouping among these people, temporarily belong to the military patrol to participate in the maintenance of public security in the city, and provide military training in case they can participate in the battle of defending the city at any time. Among them, the old, weak, women and children can be placed separately, and give them some simple and easy logistics work to do, which is a metaphor for laundry and cooking. There is no problem with these.

"If the exiles are not settled and the people are not stable, Taiyuan will inevitably be broken from the inside!" This is Chu Tianya's original words. Zhang Xiaochun is irrefutable and has to agree.

In this way, in just two days, Chu Tianya suddenly had more than 6,000 military patrols under his command!

The rest are the families of these military patrols, some old and young women and children, which are also registered and allocated to cold clothes rations by the government's treasury granary, and let them engage in some simple and easy corvée.

The riots in Taiyuan City finally subsided.

The Jurchens beat the war drums outside the city for two days. Many people in Taiyuan City suffered from insomnia, tinnitus or neurasthenia, but there was no large-scale riot. Later, maybe the real woman herself was tired and tired of listening, so she stopped and stopped playing drums.

When the drums stopped, there was a burst of cheers in Taiyuan City!

Although the army of Jurchens still surrounds Taiyuan City, they have indeed not defeated the city. Taiyuan City is still as stable as before - the hope and belief in the hearts of the people and the people have the basis of facts, and they are more firm and stable!

The Taiyuan government finally gained a trace of rare "trust" from the people; Zhang Xiaochun breathed a long breath, and after all, his heart was also comforted. At the same time, he felt more and more incredible about Chu Tianya, a young man.

Zhang Xiaochun believes that in times of crisis, there are heroes in troubled times. The more dangerous and urgent it is, the easier it is to lose human nature and the easier it is to lose the behavior. It is a metaphor for those who take risks when they hear the sound of the drums. It is not easy for Chu Tianya to remain calm and respond correctly in times of danger and emergency. Now it seems that Chu Tianya's literary and military skills may not be outstanding, but his real strength lies in his spirit and wisdom!

In short, Zhang Xiaochun finally looked at Chu Tianya with new eyes!

Zhang Xiaochun is still like this as a magistrate, not to mention the 6,000 military patrols who have just defected to Chu Tianya. They were able to see hope in a desperate situation, and it was easy to regard Chu Tianya as the backbone and life-saving straw. Now, in addition to receiving rations from him every day so that the family can survive, he is also infected by his spirit. In the imperceptible, Chu Tianya has become the spiritual pillar of the 6,000 military patrols!

The reason why it is easy to produce heroes in troubled times is probably because people are upset and have a strong demand for spiritual pillars. This is the case in today's Taiyuan City. Chu Tianya took the initiative to win the greatest trust and respect of these thousands of military patrols and their families.

Due to the cessation of the sound of the bell drums and the strong security forces in the city, the situation in Taiyuan City has become more and more stable, and people's hearts have gradually become peaceful.

Wang Yu and Zhang Xiaochun are very gratified - they are finally using people properly!

Now, no one will express jealousy or dissatisfaction with Chu Tianya's current position. Because he really did a good job, and his reputation is gaining popularity, reaching a height beyond the reach of those who are jealous.

Human nature has always been like this. Jealousy and exclusion are generally only aimed at the same kind of people who are similar to their own level or in the same environment. It is rare for an ordinary person to be really jealous of the prime minister. The object of their jealousy and comparison is more likely to be their neighbors or classmates.

Chu Tianya, a name originally living in seclusion behind the scenes, finally began to spread widely in Taiyuan City. Although Wang and Zhang Xiaochun are the two pillars in Taiyuan City now, they are a little far away from ordinary people. Chu Tianya is a person who is in direct contact with the people in the city, so he has erected his highest image in the shortest time.

On the third day, the military patrol under Chu Tianya increased to 10,000!

There are only 70,000 to 80,000 people in the city, and this 10,000 people have almost included all the young people; other old and young women and children are under the jurisdiction of the government, which has become a solid logistics force.

In this way, the 150,000 soldiers and civilians in Taiyuan City have been integrated into three major sections - the army, the government and the military patrol!

Chu Tianya held all the young people in the city with one hand, and these young people are the pillars and backbone of their families - the hearts of Taiyuan City are completely stable and solid!

Originally, Zhang Xiaochun and Wang Yu thought that the announcement was just a stopgap measure at the beginning, but they didn't expect it to have such a miraculous effect. Chu Tianya's men also had a part of 10,000 people. According to their inertial thinking, in this case, these military patrols should also be included in the regular military system of the Song Dynasty. According to the rules, they are not a forbidden army subordinate to the imperial court, but only a local van. According to the number of people, 10,000 people can be regarded as an "army".

Thus, how can Chu Tianya lead the army?

As a result, Zhang Xiaochun and Wang Yu also had a rare "enlightenment" according to the time and conditions, and made a "seal" of Chu Tianya as the military commander!

In this case, Wang Yu and Zhang Xiaochun wielded their necks by themselves, and they were determined not to do such a "overcoming" thing. Not to mention the military commander, it is the head of a leader of a hundred people, and it is not something that the two of them can seal.

But now there is nothing we can do. This ten thousand people must have a staff and be recognized by the army and the court to make them feel at ease. Chu Tianya, who leads them, must also have a name in order to be right.

People just have such inertial thinking. There is nothing we can do, and it's terrible.

In this way, a few days ago, Chu Tianya, who was still a white body, turned into a commander of the army, which was equivalent to the " division commander" level.

This can no longer be described as salted fish turning over or walking flat. It is simply "becomesting an immortal". In the past, those who were jealous had nothing to say except to hide and spit blood, let alone the capital and mood of jealousy.

Wang Yu and Zhang Xiaochun have identified one thing, that is, Chu Tianya was born for this war. He is the hero in troubled times!

The real woman has besieged the city for three days, and has been besieged but not attacked. It also proves the original speculation of Chu Tianya and Wang Yu that they were just threatening the city and besieging the city to help. It can be imagined that the current Xishan Qingyun Fort must be trapped in the siege of war.

But now the city is closed and surrounded by women, and Taiyuan City is out of touch. Although Chu Tianya and others are worried, they are helpless.

In fact, in contrast, people are more curious - after learning about the changes in Taiyuan Mansion, what kind of attitude will the court of the Song Dynasty have?

It has been more than ten days since the death of Tong Guan and the beginning of Taiyuan Jianbi Qingye. The court of the Song Dynasty should have responded a long time ago. Now that the heroine has surrounded Taiyuan under the city, why hasn't the court issued an order or sent a soldier to fight against the enemy?

This problem is in the minds of Chu Tianya, Wang Yu and Zhang Xiaochun; but this matter is not enough to be discussed in public. It's okay if you don't discuss it. It's possible to gather the hearts of the soldiers and civilians in the troubled city.

So everyone tacitly chose to wait for the result. Anyway, now 150,000 people in Taiyuan City have reached a consensus - in any case, we must stick to it to the end!

I haven't been home for several days. Now the situation in Taiyuan City has stabilized. Chu Tianya, who has been busy for several days, has felt a little tired. Finally, he took out a little free time and was ready to go home to see He Bo, Xiao Linglong and others for a rest.

When Chu Tianya came home in the evening, the door was closed. After knocking on the door for a long time, Anu came to answer the door.

A few days ago, the city was very chaotic. There were really a few thieves who were not afraid of death. They broke into the Chu family to make trouble, but they obviously broke into the wrong place, so none of them ate good fruit.

At this time, not long after dinner, Xiao Linglong practiced shooting in the backyard again. Everyone was there and safe, and Chu Tianya was at ease.

Seeing him come back safe and sound, He Bo and others were also relieved and joked to compliment him as "the commander of the army".

He Bo said that in the current Taiyuan City, the young master is second only to Zhang Xiaochun and Wang. Congratulations.

Chu Tianya said with a smile that I was just a temporary commander of a miscellaneous army. In order to take care of the overall situation and stabilize people's hearts, I "exordinarily" served as a military commander, which was not counted.

He Bo said that with the words "stabilizing people's hearts", it is already more valuable than the military commander. Because, the more troubled times, the more valuable people's hearts are - the young master should make good use of it!

He Bo's words hit the nail on the head, which coincided with what Chu Tianya thought in his heart!

That's right. In troubled times, although official wealth and family background are also useful, they no longer have the powerful power of the past peace. At this time, the most powerful is the power of people's hearts! - For example, Zhang Jiao, who led the Yellow Turban Uprising, and Hong Xiuquan, who used religion to persuade the people to follow the armed uprising, all of them cleverly used the power of people's hearts in troubled times!

"It seems that Wang Qian is really a little knowledgeable." Xiao Linglong said to Chu Tianya as if she were serious and jokingly, "He has long advised you to be a grass king in troubled times. It seems that you really have such a qualification."

"Is Princess Xiao praising me or hurting me?" Chu Tianya smiled and subconsciously looked at the stable, where the jujube red horse with his name "flying fox" and Xiao Linglong's moon-by-moon horse were tied.

Xiao Linglong immediately shaved her face and said, "What are you looking at?"

"I'll see my horse. What's wrong?" Chu Tianya pretended to be stupid.

" Sooner or later, I will stew it!" Xiao Linglong left this sentence and no longer paid attention to Chu Tianya and went to practice guns by herself.

Chu Tianya couldn't help laughing.

He Bo and others were puzzled. They all asked Chu Tianya why he provoked Xiao Linglong?

Chu Tianya smiled and said nothing. This is a small "secret" between the two. How can they take it out and share it? If you really say it, I'm afraid Xiao Linglong will really turn against you.

After nightfall, Uncle He asked Xiao Ai to scald a few pots of wine. After the siege of Jurchin, they began to eat and drink, but Chu Tianya rarely came back once. Today, they had to drink two drinks and improve their food. So Xiao Ai also cooked a pot of dried deer and dried mutton. This may not be a big deal at ordinary times, but now it tastes extremely delicious, and everyone is eating it quickly.

During the banquet, Uncle He inadvertently asked a question, "Young master, what will happen to the court?"

Chu Tianya was carrying the wine glass and putting it on his mouth. At this time, he paused and shook his head with a smile and put down the wine glass.

"It seems that the young master doesn't have too much hope for the court?"

"We can only prepare for the worst." Chu Tianya said.

He Bo nodded, "Yes, you can't have high hopes for it. According to the usual style of the imperial court, it is probably still arguing that it will never stop. Otherwise, after so many days, why haven't you seen any movement, and haven't you come to rescue Taiyuan?

Chu Tianya was silent and said to himself, if the officials are wise and the court is powerful, how can it be my turn for me, Chu Tianya, to clean up people's hearts and win fame? The reason why heroes are born in troubled times is that people's hearts are separated because of the loss of the emperor's rule. This Taiyuan riot finally made me realize the importance of orthodoxy and fame and the power of the official class. No matter how unworthy our officials are and how corrupt our bureaucrats are, in the hearts of the people, they are still the backbone and spiritual pillars. In the past, all dynasties and dynasties, but when the country changes, it will rise together. With the help of the name of orthodoxy, unite the power of officials, clean up the hearts of the separated people, and then take advantage of the situation!

"When you are born in troubled times, you can either become a ghost or become a hero." Uncle He was not in a hurry and said casually, "Young master, now you have taken the first step. What are your plans for the future?"

"Let's win the defense of Taiyuan first." Chu Tianya replied.

Uncle He smiled and said, "Even if you win, in the end, the court may not let you go."

"I understand that." Chu Tianya smiled indifferently, "So, I never expected to be a senior official and make a fortune. My way out in the future may be as Wang Wei said... I will fall into the grass and be a bandit!"
