November 30th, night, Tianjing City. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

During the day, when Ouyang Shuo led his troops into the city, the city was naturally a lively and peaceful scene. All the discordant factors are under Yang Xiuqing's iron fist, and they are temporarily and obediently hibernating.

According to Yang Xiuqing's arrangement, Ouyang Shuo met with hundreds of civil and military officials of the previous dynasty, granted amnesty to thousands of ordinary prisoners in the city, and distributed oil and rice supplies to the people in the north of the city, especially the poor people.

In short, how auspicious it is.

Yang Xiuqing is familiar with this set, which can be regarded as the "feature" of the kingdom of heaven.

When Ouyang Shuo saw it, he couldn't help but be amazed.

After a busy day, it was not until the end of the grand dinner that this "show" came to an end.

In the end, when choosing a place to stay, Ouyang Shuo did not listen to Yang Xiuqing's arrangement for the first time. According to Yang Xiuqing's meaning, it was arranged for Ouyang Shuo to live in the sealed Heavenly King Palace.

In this regard, Ouyang Shuo was not sensitive.

The place Ouyang Shuo chose to stay was a courtyard in the city. The courtyard here is the mansion of the fallen general Lin Fengxiang, and it is also quite magnificent, so as not to insult Ouyang Shuo's identity.

Seeing this, Yang Xiuqing did not insist.

Because he could feel that the prince did not want to live in the Heavenly King's Palace, he was afraid that it would have a deep meaning.

After the hustle and bustle, Ouyang Shuo had the energy to deal with business.

That night, Lin Yi, the commander of the Praetorian Guard Division and General Huwei who was temporarily in charge of the defense of Tianjing City, the head of the Black Snake Guard and the Military Intelligence Department in Xunzhou County, and the young general Shi Hu gathered in the courtyard where Ouyang Shuo was staying.

Obviously, this was an internal meeting of Shanhai City.

Even Yang Xiuqing was not invited by Ouyang Shuo.

In fact, before Ouyang Shuo arrived in Tianjing City, the two major intelligence agencies would compile and report relevant information to Ouyang Shuo every day for him to read.

As for the episode encountered on the way to Tianjing, it is enough to prove that the two major intelligence agencies pay too much attention to Tianjing City, and ignore the layout and reconnaissance of other places, especially villages.

Through the information sent by the two major institutions, Ouyang Shuo knew that there was still a hidden force lurking in the current Tianjing City that opposed the rule of Shanhai City.

Among this force, there were military generals, former court officials, and even gentry, merchants and other people from all walks of life. The scope and depth of its impact are truly frightening.

Therefore, Ouyang Shuo had to clear this latent force for Bao Shuya before he rushed to Tianjing City to take up his post. Otherwise, once Tianjing City loses its army, I am afraid that it may cause chaos at any time.

The question now is by what means.

According to Lin Yi's opinion, it was natural to directly dispatch a large army to set off a bloody purge in Tianjing City.

Ouyang Shuo heard this, and directly shook his head and vetoed it.

Lin Yi is a pure soldier, so it is not surprising that he would have such an idea, after all, cleaning is also an option. It's just that for Ouyang Shuo, this is just a decision.

Shanhai City easily captured Tianjing City, which was advantageous, but naturally had disadvantages.

Just imagine, if Shanhai City was to storm Tianjing City through a large army, Ouyang Shuo could naturally take advantage of the power of the great victory on the day the city was broken, under the guidance of the Military Intelligence Department and the Black Snake Guard, directly carry out a purge in the city.

At that time, Shanhai City was the victor of the war, and no one dared to say anything.

But now it is different, now it is Tianjing City who surrenders on its own initiative.

In the face of those who surrendered, Shanhai City naturally did not easily swing the butcher's knife.

Otherwise, it will chill the hearts of the people in the city; Second, even for Yang Xiuqing and other people who are already close to Shanhai City, I am afraid that it will be uncomfortable.

It is precisely in this way that Ouyang Shuo will be cautious in dealing with the affairs of Tianjing City, and will be patient during the day, at the mercy of Yang Xiuqing, to complete that big show.

In addition, there is another problem that has to be made to Ouyang Shuo cautious.

In the hands of the two major intelligence agencies, they do have a list of personnel in this force. But as for whether the list is complete, even if it is the two responsible persons, I am afraid that they have no bottom in their hearts.

Once the army is purged, it is bound to startle the other hidden enemies. In this way, it will only make them hide deeper.

Therefore, this purge must be planned.

Several people discussed it until late at night, and finally came up with a compromise.

Needless to say, the hostile elements that have already been flagged by the Military Intelligence Department and the Black Snake Guard will continue to be monitored to ensure that they can be taken down at any time.

As for the hidden elements in the army, they were handed over to Lin Yi to deal with.

To this end, Ouyang Shuo instructed Shi Hu to lead two independent divisions of the mountain barbarians to assist the Praetorian Division, and further strengthen the control of Tianjing City and take over Tianjing City in an all-round way on the grounds of protecting the safety of the prince and marquis.

In particular, for the 100,000 Taiping troops in the city, it is necessary to take strict precautions, limit their range of activities and later supplies, and try to reduce their threat to a minimum.

The most fundamental thing is that Ouyang Shuo will summon Yang Xiuqing and other Taiping army generals tomorrow to discuss the reorganization of the 100,000-strong army.

As long as the threat of the army is removed, everything else is just scabies.

Therefore, tomorrow's meeting is a test for Ouyang Shuo. He knew that there were at least one or two generals in the Taiping Army who were Hong Xiuquan's diehards.

It's just that they didn't find a chance to resist, and they have been well disguised.

Come to think of it, it is not easy to mediate with such a group of opponents.

On the other hand, in order to lure out other hidden hostile elements in Tianjing City, Ouyang Shuo thought of a trick called luring the snake out of the hole.

"Lure the snake out of the hole?" Lin Yi asked.

"Not bad."

"What is the king's plan?" Lin Yi asked again with a smile.

When Ouyang Shuo heard this, he also smiled slightly, and said, "Think about it, in this heavenly capital, is there any place that is a holy place that cannot be desecrated for Hong Xiuquan's die-hard elements?" ”

"Heavenly King's Palace?!" Lin Yi and the others exclaimed in unison.

"Not bad!"

"Does the prince mean to deliberately burn down the Heavenly King's Palace, so as to provoke Hong Xiuquan's diehards, so that they will automatically jump out and catch them all again?" Lin Yi asked.

"Nope." Ouyang Shuo shook his head and said, "If a fire is burned, wouldn't it be a big loss." ”

Strictly speaking, Ouyang Shuo is also a little greedy for money.

He is also well versed in scraping the ground.

coincided with the shortage of funds for the reconstruction of Xunzhou County and Zhen'an County, and Ouyang Shuo naturally had to find a way to make a profit.

As for the specific strategy, Ouyang Shuo did not disclose it again.

**********

Early the next morning, Ouyang Shuo issued his first edict after entering Tianjing City.

The edict stated that since Tianjing City was selected as the seat of Xunzhou County, it was natural that there should be a matching county government for the office of the county guard and the officials of the four major offices.

After investigation, the location of the Tianwang Palace is an excellent place for the construction of the county government.

Therefore, Ouyang Shuo had to endure the pain and decided to demolish the Tianwang Palace, and then build a standard and more practical county government on the original site.

The edict was issued, and the whole city was in an uproar.

Ordinary people were just surprised by the arrogance of the prince. For Hong Xiuquan's die-hard loyalists, demolishing the Heavenly King's Palace is tantamount to cutting off their only sustenance for the Heavenly King, which is even more uncomfortable than demolishing their house.

Therefore, as soon as the edict was issued, there were constant petitions asking the prince to retract the decree. And these people who jumped out naturally entered the Black Snake Guard's field of vision.

Not to mention Hong Xiuquan's die-hard loyalty, even Yang Xiuqing has doubts about this edict of the prince. After all, as an important minister of the former dynasty, Yang Xiuqing knew the significance of the Heavenly King Palace in the hearts of the people, especially the hearts of the sect.

If you want to build a county office, you don't have to spend so much time at all.

First, as long as the Tianwang Palace is slightly renovated, it will be an extremely magnificent county office. Second, even if it is not renovated, there seems to be nothing wrong with choosing a place to build.

After all, it is only a county government to be built, not a royal palace, so there is no need to pay too much attention to the art of feng shui.

Just thinking of the prince's insistence on entering the Tianwang Palace last night, Yang Xiuqing guessed that the prince was really determined to demolish the Tianwang Palace.

Seeing that he was going to Leizhou County to take up his post soon, at this juncture, Yang Xiuqing naturally didn't want to disobey the will of the prince, so he did not raise objections.

However, many people approached Yang Xiuqing and asked him to act as a lobbyist to persuade the prince to take back his fate.

When Yang Xiuqing heard this, she could only smile bitterly.

Needless to say, all the petitioners were blocked out of the gate by the Shenwu Guard, who had a cold expression and no emotion, and they didn't even see Ouyang Shuo's face.

Before demolishing the Tianwang Palace, Ouyang Shuo did not leave any intention of using the dozens of cars of treasures in the Tian'an Palace, and directly arranged for the Commercial Department to cooperate with the major chambers of commerce to evaluate the treasures one by one and sell them at a price.

Ouyang Shuo's actions, one is that he does not like luxury, and the other is to eliminate Hong Xiuquan's influence in the two counties to the greatest extent.

According to preliminary estimates, the gold and silver treasures looted in the Heavenly King's Palace alone can be sold for at least more than 300,000 gold coins, which shows the luxury of Hong Xiuquan's life.

With this huge amount of funds, the finances of the two counties no longer need the support of the Southern Xinjiang Metropolitan Protectorate.

As for the palace maids and eunuchs in the Heavenly King's Palace, they were naturally dismissed together.

In the afternoon of the same day, thousands of craftsmen began to demolish the Heavenly Palace.

That's right, it's demolition.

The high-quality wood, stone carvings, screen mountain stones and other materials in the palace were all carefully classified, and there were no violent things as Lin Yi imagined.

For these high-quality wood and other old objects of the Heavenly King's Palace, Ouyang Shuo announced that an auction would be organized in Tianjing City, and people from the two counties could participate in the bidding.

Buy these relics of the Heavenly King's Palace and keep them as souvenirs. Even if it's not a souvenir, the materials themselves are rare and good.

Seeing that he could not stop the demolition of the Heavenly King Palace, Ouyang Shuo believed that Hong Xiuquan's die-hard elements would definitely not be able to bear it and jump out to buy these relics.

In this way, it not only earns money, but also catches out the hidden hostile elements, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
