The big bandit in the Red Mansion robbed Lin Daiyu at the beginning

It indirectly made it easier for ordinary people to accept the governance of Qingfeng Village.

Li Qingfeng was riding on his horse, and he felt very happy when he saw the people along the way enthusiastically participating in the household registration and land distribution in Qingfeng Village.

The Chinese people have been so simple for thousands of years.

After entering the government office of Zhenjiang Prefecture,

The head of Yujing Hall, She Xiaoer, the head of Rishan Hall, Ji Chi, and several of their respective captains had been waiting in the lobby for a long time.

Seeing Li Qingfeng come in, She Xiaoer shouted loudly.

"stand up!"

Everyone stood straight at attention, their eyes looking at Qingfeng Li with devout and fanatical admiration.

"salute!"

With a "swish", all the high-ranking officials of Qingfeng Village in the hall,

They all raised their hands and saluted Qingfeng Li.

Li Qingfeng walked straight to the seat under the large plaque hanging high above the mirror in the main hall, and faced everyone present.

Feeling the enthusiasm in their eyes, he nodded with satisfaction, pressed his hands, and sat down.

"The ceremony is over!"

She Xiaoer shouted loudly, and everyone in the field put down their hands with a "swish".

Qingfeng Li smiled slightly.

"Brothers, you've all worked hard, sit down and talk!"

As soon as Qingfeng Li finished speaking, everyone sat down in unison. The dozen or so people moved as if they were one person, with neat and decisive movements.

She Xiaoer and Ji Chi sat at the frontmost positions on the left and right sides respectively. When they took action, they were the captains of their respective halls.

After they captured Zhenjiang Prefecture, they received Li Qingfeng's order and immediately sent their respective deputy hall masters to lead their troops to march south to Suzhou.

They each brought a group of people and waited for Li Qingfeng's arrival.

Many of the captains were trained by Qingfeng Li and had been stationed outside for a long time. Now that they saw their own peak master again, many of them had tears in their eyes.

Qingfeng Li took in everyone's expressions and nodded slightly.

"Since the Yangzhou Incident, all of you brothers have worked together and, in just one day, you have captured Zhenjiang Prefecture. This Peak Master is deeply pleased!"

"I'm proud of you! It's because of your bravery that Qingfeng Village is so strong and prosperous, and it's because of your bravery that the people under our rule, your families and fellow villagers, live in peace and safety!"

Even though She Xiaoer was already the head of the hall, his throat was a little blocked when he heard this.

"For the Peak Master, for Qingfeng Village, I will sacrifice my life and my soul for him, even if it means death!"

The others also shouted in unison,

"The liver and brains are ruined, and I will not give up even if I die!"

"it is good!"

Qingfeng Li nodded, and then his expression became serious.

"I am very pleased that you have such a keen and enterprising spirit!"

"Because although we have taken Yangzhou and defeated tens of thousands of imperial troops, Daqian is using the entire country to defeat a small part of the enemy. We simply cannot afford to waste resources! Our enemy is still very powerful!"

After a pause, Qingfeng Li continued,

"The reason this Peak Master ordered you to wait here is to tell you the seriousness of the situation! So that you won't take any chances!"

"The imperial court has gathered 50,000 troops from Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Fujian, and they are now gathering towards Anqing Prefecture. They will arrive in a day or two at the latest! I am sending you, the four halls and the eight halls, with a combined total of less than 20,000 troops, south. I am asking you to fight to the death!"

"This time you're heading south, you're going to face an army of fifty thousand, perhaps a hundred thousand, or even more! Tell this Peak Master, are you afraid?"

Everyone stood up in unison and cheered towards Qingfeng Li.

"Ready at all the time!"

"..."

After three calls, the hall was filled with a resounding echo.

Qingfeng Li slammed the table, stood up and looked solemnly at the hall masters and captains in front of him.

"Those present here include the Hall Master and the Captain. Your professional qualities and ideas are worlds apart from those of the grassroots members. This Peak Master does not need to encourage you any further!"

"Therefore, this Peak Master tells you that if you fail to capture Suzhou and Hangzhou Prefectures during this southward march, then you will have no way out!"
