Rebirth of the eldest daughter

Chapter 471: If you take possession of it, you will never give it back.

Bai Mingwei walked down the high wall. The soldiers who were originally immersed in the joy of victory immediately stopped all movements and sounds when they saw her arrival, and respectfully made way for them.

She did not immediately celebrate the victory with the soldiers, but issued several orders one after another to arrange the aftermath.

Yuecheng is not the boundary of Dongling. Most of the people living in this city are from Beiyan. Many details need to be paid attention to.

For example, to appease and shock the people in this city.

Comfort them so that they will not panic and affect their livelihood.

Deter them so that they dare not become rebellious and create obstacles for the soldiers stationed in the city.

Don't slaughter the city, don't plunder.

This was the first order issued by Bai Mingwei. Of course, many soldiers/soldiers were puzzled. They finally managed to win back a victory in the hands of the Beiyan people, but they couldn't take advantage of the Beiyan thieves!
Even if they don't kill innocent people, their treasures should be taken away.

Bai Mingwei did not explain too much, but simply said calmly: "Think about how much our people hate the Northern Yan people who invaded from the south."

The soldiers thought for a moment and no longer thought about burning, killing, and plundering.

Even if they win, they are still the aggressor. They will not whitewash the crimes they committed, but at least they can be winners unlike the Beiyan people.

This is their magnanimity and their character.

Bai Mingwei continued to issue a few more orders, then ordered a team to search for Qin Zhen throughout the city.

Even if the soldiers' attention is no longer on Qin Zhen at this time, they still have to do a full show. Qin Zhen's matter needs to be clearly explained to the world and to the soldiers.

……

When Bai Mingwei led the team to find Qin Zhen, he was tied to a chair, with his head leaning against the back of the chair, his head tilted, his eyes wide open, there was a hideous wound on his neck, and blood spattered on his clothes, showing a terrifying look. Dark red.

And the place where he was happened to be the inn where the prince's consort stayed.

Bai Mingwei didn't say a word, but slowly walked over and closed his eyes: "Rest in peace, the people of Beiyan have learned their lesson."

Not only Bai Mingwei, but all the soldiers who saw Qin Zhen's body looked extremely calm.

If Yuecheng had not been captured and Qin Zhen was seen dead by them, they would definitely be filled with anger.

But now that Yuecheng has been obtained, if they still pretend to be gnashing their teeth and hating them, it would be a bit false.

After all, Qin Zhen was just a court official and had no interaction with the soldiers.

Only Bai Mingwei knew that she killed Qin Zhen.

Only Bai Mingwei knew that Qin Zhen was brought here by Ah Liu during the chaos and faked the murder scene.

But these are not important anymore. Before the war, he was the face that the soldiers fought to regain. At this moment, he was just an ordinary person who died in the hands of the Beiyan people.

Finally, Bai Mingwei ordered: "Prepare Master Qin's appearance and prepare a good coffin for burial. As for where the body should go, I will ask Your Majesty for instructions in the battle report."

After saying that, Bai Mingwei turned around and left, handing Qin Zhen to his men.

The team she brought to search for Qin Zhen was very particular. On the surface, they all must have survived the battle, but in fact they included the Bai family army and the garrison.

Clever personnel arrangements will prevent anyone from saying there is something fishy in the future.

While the soldiers were disposing of Qin Zhen's body, the copper basin on the side attracted everyone's attention.

I saw a lot of ashes inside, which showed that the paper had been burned.

A soldier poked it with his sword, and when the ashes rose, a piece of unburned paper was revealed.The soldier picked it up and took a look, but only saw half of the imperial envoy's seal.

He quickly called to his companions: "This... this seems to be Lord Qin's seal. What did the people of Beiyan get from him? What was burned?"

Someone continued: "I have seen this seal before. It belongs to the Imperial Envoy."

The one who spoke was a garrison leader. Under Jiang Ci's operation, he became a loyal supporter of the Bai family army. Even he himself may not realize it.

At this moment, he recognized it at a glance. It was indeed the imperial envoy's seal, and he had seen it on the transfer order.

Could it be...

What was burned was a transfer order?
Thinking of the transfer orders they had received previously and the gossip they had obtained, an idea quickly formed in the mind of the garrison leader——

This transfer order was probably given to them, and it stated that they were ordered to merge into the frontier army.

Because only this idea is not good for Beiyan, otherwise it would not be burned.

However, the garrison leader did not say anything, but silently printed this speculation in his mind, preparing to listen to the opinions of other colleagues.

In this way, the matter of the remnant paper with the seal was just a small incident and was quickly revealed.

But Bai Mingwei knew that a single spark could start a prairie fire, and this seal was that spark.

Originally, she planned to forge the imperial edict, but the materials used in the imperial edict were very particular, and flaws would be exposed if she was not careful. Moreover, the edict issued would be archived in the palace, which would be too laborious.

So she decided to use the transfer order instead. Firstly, Qin Zhen was dead and there was no proof, and secondly, the transfer order was more realistic and easier to win people's trust.

I believe that it won't be long before these [-] garrison troops will become the legitimate Bai Family Army.

Without stopping too much, without making any conclusions or explanations, Bai Mingwei quickly occupied the study of the general who defended the city and began to arrange all the follow-up after the war.

Order after order was passed down from the mouths of the soldiers, and the Bai family army also spontaneously devoted themselves to the aftermath. The garrison was too embarrassed to be idle, so they divided the labor and cooperated with the Bai family army.

By the time the hot porridge and flatbreads were served by the cooks, all the corpses in the city had been cleaned up and piled up like a mountain between Qiang City and Yue City.

When the soldiers smelled the aroma of rice, they rushed over to get the food, not caring about the blood on their bodies or the corpses around them.

It should have been a difficult sight to swallow, but they ate the meal extremely deliciously.

At this time, Wei Xiao came to the study with porridge and flatbread. He put the tray on the table and drank the porridge while reporting the situation.

"Beiyan's reinforcements have retreated twenty miles away. It seems they are not preparing to attack Yuecheng."

Bai Ming was silent for a moment, then raised his head and confirmed with Wei Xiao again: "Brother Wei, are you talking about retreating twenty miles away?"

Wei Xiao frowned: "Yes, is there anything wrong?"

Before Bai Ming could open his mouth, he suddenly slapped his thigh: "If they are not ready to start a war, they will not just retreat twenty miles away, but should retreat to the next city to prevent us from continuing northward."

Bai Ming nodded slightly: "Yes, I guess they can't bear the thought of Moon City being taken away, and they will most likely attack the city."

Wei Xiao agreed very much: "The best time to attack the city is when we are the most tired. They may attack the city in the middle of the night."

Bai Mingwei nodded again: "Let Zhang Jin and the others be alert and report any movement. We are not sure whether they will counterattack, but as long as they do not withdraw to the next city for one day, we will be fully prepared at any time!"

As he spoke, Bai Ming raised a confident smile: "If I occupy this Moon City, I will never give it back."
