From Soldier To Emperor

Chapter 98 Broken jar

In the Gaoxiang county official’s office, Gongsun Kang’an, who has changed into the official costume, sat in front of Yin Liren with a bitter expression. This time, the identities of the two parties have been reversed…

After 　　 Gongsun Kangan returned to Gaoxiang County, he immediately hid in the government office, and mobilized the few heirs left in the office to guard and protect himself. Except for Yin Liren and his cronies, no one was seen!

Obviously, Gongsun Kang’an was very wise. After he returned to Gaoxiang County, the defeated soldiers of the counter-insurgency army and Long Liguo also returned to Gaoxiang County. Of course, the counter-insurgency army was defeated and returned. The news of the annihilation of the entire army outside the patrol camp in Shuzhen spread throughout the county!

The loss of the county soldiers and the Semu people is nothing to the county magistrate, Gongsun Kang’an. Neither the government nor the gentry would care about the life and death of the Semu people. If it hadn’t been for the Semu people to plow the fields and do coolies, the Datang army would have long been there. Kill the color eyes!

As for the loss of the county soldiers, it may add a black mark to Gongsun Kang’an’s political journey, but it has not yet threatened his position.

It’s a big deal. The Gongsun family will bear more pensions from county soldiers to appease the hearts of the Han people.

However, the guard camp composed of thousands of warriors and Jiading guards was gone, but it was a huge hole!

The next day after the news spread, the yamen in Gaoxiang County was blocked by a group of gentry. Gongsun Kangan didn’t dare to go out at all, so Yin Liren could only come forward to appease him.

Fortunately, although these big gentry households of Han Chinese are the local snakes of Gaoxiang County, they are still the people, and they have no right to deprive Gongsun Kang’an of the position of county magistrate. Gongsun Kang’an is now the magistrate of Gaoxiang County.

It’s just that, except for a few of Gongsun Kang’an’s confidants, his prestige in Gaoxiang County has fallen to a negative value, and even Gongsun’s family no longer supports Gongsun Kang’an!

After discussing with the big gentry, Yin Liren summarized all the matters and reported them to the An Guo government.

Now Gongsun Kangan is a Phoenix without hair, completely waiting to die. His position as a county magistrate is definitely not preserved. When the appointment and dismissal order of the An Guofu is issued, Gongsun Kangan lost his body as a county magistrate and lost Gongsun again. With the support of my family, those big gentry who have been miserable by Gongsun Kangan will definitely peel off Gongsun Kangan in minutes!

Without the asylum of the family and the government, Gongsun Kangan could not hide from the assassins hired by the gentry.

Many of the scattered warriors in the rivers and lakes made their fortunes through the sale of murder.

Of course, some people are afraid to accept assassinations of appointed warriors, such as military chiefs holding military power, imperial order officers in government offices, and so on.

The imperial court official is the face of Datang. As long as someone dares to immediately become a wanted criminal, no country will allow its officials to be assassinated!

As for the army head…

Which army chief has no personal guards by his side?

is like the leader of the rebel army, Richard, the government’s wanted order has been offered for a reward of 1,000 Tang coins, and no one dared to accept this assassination mission!

Although he would not be wanted for killing Richard, the place where a rebel leader like Richard lives is no different from Longtan Tiger’s Lair for martial artists like Jianghu. No matter how high the martial arts is, he dare not use his own life…

Even if Richard does not have expert protection by his side, ordinary soldiers can besieged and killed first-class warriors!

No matter how high the martial arts skill is, it is also a flesh and blood body. When the spear pierces a hole, the army will be shot into a sieve after a round of arrows…

When 　　 was assassinated, there was no way to put on heavy armor!

Unless Richard’s soldiers are blind, a tortoise in heavy armor will be allowed to approach Richard!

There is no heavy armor that can defend against knives, guns and arrows. The attack power of the warrior may be many times stronger than that of ordinary soldiers, but the defense is not much stronger than ordinary people. It would be good to take a few more stabs…

“You also know that with the efficiency of the Anguo Mansion, even if the Jiedu Envoy wanted to rescue Gaoxiang County, it would take at least a week from the assembly of troops to the preparation of military supplies to leave the city.

This is not even the consumption of the messenger on the road. Now Richard in Dashi Town has completed the training and expansion of the Ming army camp, and has also included all the Semu People’s households as slaves. Even if he comes out, there is no need to worry about Dashi Town in the back. If something goes wrong, the rebel Richard will arrive outside Gaoxiang County in three days at most.

Even if we pull the patrol camps in Thousands of Trees into the county, and recruit a group of civilians, do you think we can resist Richard’s army?

Our city now has no family guards. As soon as Richard’s army arrives, we don’t even have soldiers who can be the main force. How many people in the county will fight against Richard’s rebels? ”

Gongsun Kangan said to Yin Liren with heart and soul.

Gongsun Kangan knew that his position as a county magistrate could not be kept, and Gongsun’s family also abandoned him. The elders in the family had already used all the functions of Gongsun Kang’an, and they were about to expel Gongsun Kang’an from the Gongsun family!

Of course, Gongsun Kangan was not expelled mainly for the sake of the reputation of the Gongsun family and internal unity.

If the senior officials of the Gongsun family were driven out after a defeat, who would dare to lead soldiers to become officials in the future?

Gongsun Kang’an’s real punishment still needs to be ordered by the Anguo Mansion. Gongsun’s family just expressed an attitude.

If Gongsun Kangan has the ability to keep the position of the county magistrate by his own strength, his position in Gongsun’s home can be restored to its original state!

Gongsun’s handling of Gongsun Kang’an is more like an attitude of getting rid of trouble, otherwise the big gentry like the snakes in Gaoxiang County will hate the Gongsun family together!

Gongsun Kangan naturally has no ability to settle the Gaoxiang County gentry who lost all the guards of the family and the family warrior Keqing, let alone influence the decision of the Anguo government’s Jiedushi, so he is now anxious for Richard to attack Gaoxiang County. , It is better to surrender directly to Richard in Gaoxiang County!

In that case, everyone was defeated by Richard the same. The entire Gaoxiang County people became prisoners just like him. Moreover, with a new master, Gongsun Kangan doesn’t have to worry about the punishment of the Anguo Mansion and Gongsun. The attitude of the family.

However, although Gongsun Kangan is still the county magistrate, not many people in the county listen to him. It is already the limit to have a group of confidants to protect his safety. If Gongsun Kangan dared to put forward the slogan of surrendering Richard, he would be caught immediately. Yin Liren ordered his arrest!

Therefore, Gongsun Kangan called Yin Liren, just to let him understand how dangerous the situation in Gaoxiang County is. It is not that he does not want to resist, but that the strength of both parties has undergone a fundamental change!

The Minzhuang recruited in Gaoxiang County and the Dashu Town patrol camp who retreated into the county seat are enough to defend the city alone, but the morale of these people is horribly low!

No one wants to lose their lives in a defeated battle!
