Chapter 4212 Leveraging Strength

On November 7, 2013, the governor of Ganzhou, Riestong, inspected Pingxi County. That night, Riestong was assassinated by Shatu people in Pingxi City, and the entire Ganzhou was shocked!

Since the seven tribes of Shatu joined the Han Empire, this is the first time in the past few decades that a rank-level chief official in the Han Empire has been assassinated by Shatu people. Ganzhou was originally a border state, and governors of border states like Ganzhou were assassinated by foreign tribes. The impact of this matter is even greater than the shock caused by the Ye family case.

Of course, the assassination was not successful. Three assassins who assassinated Ries and were killed on the spot, but none of them ran away, and both of them were captured.

According to the news from the governor's office, Ries and his guards and the governor of Pingxi County, Liu Yucheng, led a team to encircle and suppress the assassin's party. They found that the three assassins who assassinated Ries and were mingled in a caravan from the Shartu Seventh Division. After a battle, most of the people in the Shartu caravan were killed. Among the prisoners of the Shartu people, it was not only confirmed that the assassin came from the Shartu Seventh Division, but also found that many of the people in the caravan were members of the Black Wind Thieves.

The Black Wind Thieves who once ravaged the northwest and killed countless people and changed their color when they heard about it, all came from the Seventh tribes of Shatu, who were pretending to be Shatu people.

Such news shocked many people.

When Riestong, who was assassinated by Shaturen, naturally would not let it go with the nickname of Lei Laohu. As the saying goes, tiger's butt cannot be touched. This time, Shaturen did not want to touch his butt, but wanted to chop his head. Riestong was naturally furious.

On the night of November 7, Riestong mobilized Pingxi City garrisons and his own guards to search the Shatu people gathering area in Pingxi City and arrested the "assassin party". During this search, the Pingxi City garrisons and Riestong's personal guard camp, who were ordered by Riestong, started a massacre in the Shatu people's gathering area, directly killing more than a hundred Shatu people who dared to resist. Those Shatu people who were used to being arrogant and domineering in Pingxi City, who always thought that if they made trouble, they could make the Han people in Pingxi City bow their heads, finally tasted the swords and spears of the Han Empire for the first time. That night, on the underground of several Shatu people's warehouses in the Shatu people's gathering area in Pingxi City, the Pingxi City garrisons and Riestong's personal guard camp discovered a large number of weapons and arrows hidden by the Shatu people...

Early in the morning of November 8, the people of Pingxi County who wanted to enter the city early in the morning suddenly found dozens of wooden frames on the city gates, and among the dozens of wooden frames, there were the heads of Shatu people.

In Pingxi City, many people in Pingxi City got up and found that the atmosphere in Pingxi City seemed to have changed a little. The streets of Pingxi City were full of patrolling soldiers and constables. The news of the assassination of the governor last night spread throughout Pingxi City. Not only that, Riestong also placed the weapons, bows, crossbows and arrows seized from the Shatu people in the square at the gate of the county magistrate's mansion for the people of Pingxi City to visit.

For the ordinary people in Pingxi City, although they hate Shatu people, they just hate it. Most people didn't think too much. However, on that morning, when the people in the city saw the various weapons piled up in the dense collection of Shatu people at the gate of the county magistrate's mansion, all the people in Pingxi City were shocked and woke up suddenly.

There were five or six thousand swords and swords of various types, hundreds of crossbows, tens of thousands of arrows, and a large number of other armor and weapons. These weapons were enough to arm the elite soldiers of the two battalions. What did the Shatu people in Pingxi City want to do? If these things were purchased by Shatu Seventh Division, why not transport them to the hands of Shatu Seventh Division, but quietly stockpiled them in Pingxi City?

Anyone with a little brain will probably think about this issue carefully.

It was on this day that a governor, Riestong, the governor of Ganzhou, who was in Pingxi City, spread throughout the counties and counties of Ganzhou.

——From now on, if Shatu caravans enter the city in each county in Ganzhou, all Shatu caravans will be charged three times the entry fee for Shatu people. At the same time, the city defense passes must strictly inspect the goods transported by Shatu people. If Shatu caravans transport swords and weapons, they will be confiscated.

——From now on, within the cities of Ganzhou, Shatu people are strictly prohibited from appearing in public with swords and other weapons. If anyone finds Shatu people openly carry weapons in the city, anyone can kill them on the spot, kill a Shatu people carrying weapons in the city, and reward 500 taels of silver. If officials from all over the country dare to condone those who are carrying people in the law, they will be dismissed from prison for collusion with enemies and treason, and their families will be confiscated and their clan will be extorted by the governor personally.

——From now on, in all counties in Ganzhou, Shatu people dare to gather people to cause trouble, besiege governments and barracks in various places, obstruct yamen runners and soldiers in various places to perform official duties, will be killed on the spot and will never tolerate them. If Shatu people violate the laws of the Han Empire, they will be severely punished and will not be tempted. The generals of various places will be supervised and arrested Shatu rioters. They have the right to be proficient and can decide on their own without reporting.

——After receiving the above ban, the prefectures and counties, must be announced for one month, so that the people of all prefectures and counties will be informed.

The first to publish the bans of the governor, was naturally Pingxi City. As soon as these bans were announced, the people of Pingxi City were boiling and rushed to tell each other. Regardless of the military and civilians, everyone felt that the bans of the governor against the Shatu people were very pleased, allowing the people in the city to be proud in front of the Shatu people and no longer had to be furious from the Shatu people. For a moment, Lei Laohu turned into Lei Qingtian in the mouth of the people of Pingxi City, and his reputation suddenly reached a peak.

This is the case in Pingxi City, and the situation in other cities in Ganzhou is similar. People from all over the world are proud and rushing to tell each other. However, Shatu people who were arrogant and domineering in various places have all been depressed all at once and no longer have the same arrogance as before.

Of course, for the governor, just like this is far from enough.

Just when a group of people in Pingxi County saw the notice and ran around to tell me, Ries and his pen and pen officials were talking loudly in the study of Guanyuan, "Do you have to teach you how to write this memorial?" He said that he was besieged by hundreds of Shatu Assassins from Shatu Seventh Division, and dozens of wounds were left on his body, and he died for life. Finally, he tried his best to kill the assassinations. Then he found that the assassins were all from Shatu Seventh Division. Shatu Seventh Division wanted to assassinate me, and he was naturally eyeing Ganzhou and had bad intentions. The situation in Ganzhou is extremely critical now, but the military preparations are insufficient, the city checkpoints are not well repaired, and the armor and weapons of soldiers from all over the country are old. Please allocate 30 to 50 million taels of silver to be military supplies. I can handle the territory of Shatu Seventh Division to ensure that the territory of the Han Empire is not lost. Anyway, the situation is so serious that it will be written. I won't...

The classic civil servant in the study was sweating coldly when he heard it, "That prime minister... the prime minister..."

"Lin Qingtian is a big deal. The governor of a state in the court was assassinated by Shatu people. The evidence was confirmed. The stolen people were all captured. The corpse was present. What are you afraid of? Who would like to see the head of Shatu assassin, pickling those heads with lime and sending them to him, and letting him put them in front of the ancestral tablets..." Riestong cursed, "What happened to me that I sent several orders against Shatu people in Ganzhou? Shatu people are not his father. If he dares to stand up and talk to Shatu people at this time, he will not be afraid of being drowned by the saliva of the world. Even if he is the prime minister, do you really think it is fun to be pointed at the nose and scolded the traitor as Shatu people's godson?"

"Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes,... the yes know how to write..." The classics civil servant nodded while wiping the cold sweat on his forehead.

"Then write it quickly, and then use the seal to spread it out with the military headquarters' flying post..."

"Yes!" The classical civil servant bowed and left.

Seeing the civil servant leave, Riestong turned his head and a kind smile instantly appeared on his face. He looked at Yan Liqiang, who was also in the study, "Liqiang, what do you think of this?"

Yan Liqiang also laughed, "Congratulations, congratulations, Uncle Lei has gained both fame and fortune this time. I just heard that the people in Pingxi City who saw the notice have begun to call Uncle Lei Lei Qingtian. Uncle Lei's ban today is awesome and has great merits. The people of Ganzhou have long been looking forward to such a day..."

"Hahaha, there will be such a thing in the future. Come and find me!" Ries laughed and touched his beard. "It was just that those assassins last night were too few and not enough to kill. I was thinking about how to cure those Shatu people. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a reason at once. I didn't expect that they came to my door this time and gave me a chance. Speaking of which, I still want to thank you!"

"I just did what I should do!" Yan Liqiang smiled modestly, and took advantage of this incident to dig a big hole for Sha Turen. Using Riestong's hands, he minimized the destructiveness that Sha Turen can bring in the future. He prepared for the future. Yan Liqiang breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, feeling that all this was really worth it. This time the killing game against him turned into this result, I guess neither Lin Qingtian nor Sha Tumen had expected it.

They can decide to start, but the result is not what they can decide...

"The Shatu people suffered such a big loss this time. I don't think they would just let it go. Their goal is Liqiang. Do you need a master to protect? If you need it, I will find a few masters for you so that those Shatu people will have an opportunity!" Riestong looked at Yan Liqiang, restrained his smile and said seriously.

"If you talk about the matter of master guards in the future, I'm afraid you will have to trouble Uncle Lei. But this incident also touched me a little. After I was about to do something for the past two days, I will find a place to stay in seclusion and practice for a while. To improve my strength is the most fundamental solution..."

"Not bad, not bad!" Riesy nodded, "It's just the salt matter we discussed..."

"Uncle Lei, we will limit it to half a year. Within half a year, Uncle Lei will get the matter of the salt field, and then I will finish the submission and take over the salt field!"

"Half a year..." Riestong pondered for a moment, and finally nodded, "It's almost the same. It will take at least four or five months to win several large salt fields. Half a year is not long, so we'll decide..."
Chapter completed!
