Changfeng Thousands of Miles End Han Song

Chapter 447

Now that Lu Qian was determined to pull Tianhu, he issued a military order to gather the army in Jeju.

He intends to send [-] troops for this battle, including [-] regular troops and [-] garrison troops.That's enough.

The main army moved to Jeju, and many local garrison troops also gathered towards Jeju, which immediately attracted the attention of Mengzhou on the north bank of the Yellow River.

At that time, the magistrate of Mengzhou was surnamed Huang, and his two names were Qiande. After Wen Xun, he quickly passed the information to his clan brothers who stayed behind in Beijing's Daming Mansion.

After Huang Qianshan got the news, he was so shocked that he died. He is the magistrate of the Daming Mansion. How could he not know how many times the Daming Mansion was broken by the bandits?Reminiscent of the situation in Hebei, the Tianhu bandit soldiers are almost dead. At this time, the Lu bandits gather troops in Jeju, if they don't point their swords at the big name, so as to implement the plan of "surrounding Wei and saving Zhao", so as to rescue Tianhu, they will see the dead up.

But the difficulty of this matter lies in the fact that Lu Qianzhi's strategy is Hongguoguo's conspiracy.Even if it is seen through by others, there are still people who get into their hubs.

At the moment, Huang Qianshan sent out urgent reports to go north again and again. At this moment, the only two armies in Hebei that can fight and fight are all at Tian Hu.The Western Army also went north, and the Daming Mansion was empty of troops. Counting the mob, there were less than 1 of them gathered.At the same time, officials in the city were also gathered to discuss such disasters.

Shi Dalang walked into the government office with his arm hanging. He had been injured by an arrow and crossbow during a fight with Tian Hu's army, and was transferred back to Daming Mansion to be raised.Although his official position was not high, he was from the Western Army and had a reputation for bravery. At this moment, in Huang Qianshan's eyes, he was a true general.Just like Xu Huiyan and the gentry on the two Zhejiang roads.

On weekdays, I look down on him, thinking that he is the bandit of vulgar Qiu Ba.Now that he is going to fight and fight, he really thinks of people.

All the civil and military personnel sat down in the hall, Huang Qianshan first said: "The Liangshan bandits gathered their troops in Jeju, which is very close to my Daming Mansion. I have already reported to the North, and I think all the ministers should send troops back to help after hearing about it. We are all unfamiliar with the military situation of the Liangshan bandits, and only listen to people's words, which is not beautiful. This official is even more worried about falsely reporting the military situation, so that it will be implicated in the overall situation of the bandit suppression in the North, causing Tian Hu and the bandits to take the opportunity Escaping will cause the imperial army to fall short."

Zhang Yiqian, the envoy of water transportation, said: "What Huang Taishou said is very true. We have not found out the reality of Jeju, and we don't even know the number of soldiers and horses. We only say that the soldiers are in danger. This is not beautiful. If you don't first Send more spies to the bank to inquire about the situation. Later, when the official documents come, you can speak freely."

The civil servant withdrew the matter to the military officer in a few words, but how easy is it?Who doesn't know that the Liangshan army has issued a certificate, and the inspection of the border state capital is very strict. Sending ordinary soldiers to cross the south bank, wouldn't it be death?

But if they are sent to be capable, let alone how many people they have in their hands, the problem is that they are reluctant.

The training envoy of the Daming Mansion remained silent, and the guard in the capital prison looked at the floor seriously as if he had made a big discovery.

Shi Dalang said impatiently: "It is said that the Liangshan bandit army is very powerful here, and the border guards are strict. It is impossible to send a large number of spies to the south. Since we are going to check on his strength, the villain is willing to go to Jeju in person. Go around."

Huang Qianshan was overjoyed at Shi Jin's initiative to ask for Ying, and said: "The land is good, but we must send people to protect it."

Shi Jin glanced at the left-behind capital supervisor and regiment training envoy sitting above him, and said in a cold voice, "All the words spoken by Shicai are the sincerity of the villain. If there are too many people, I am afraid they will not take good care of each other. The villain has a brother, surnamed Zhu Mingwu , is a refined person, and his ability is also great, so it’s good to go with each other.”

"There is another brother, surnamed Chen Mingda, who also has some courage. He can walk alone and follow him, so he can pass on news. The villain is only doing private business, so I don't think there will be any problem." It was the white snake Yang Chun who was killed together with Shi Jin. Although he was not killed by the arrow and crossbow, he was still lying on the bed, unable to move.

Huang Qianshan and the others were overjoyed, and they all said to Shi Jin: "I'm here to help you, General." After the plan was over, Shi Dalang pretended to be a private businessman, asked Zhu Wu to pretend to be an accountant, and Chen Da to pretend to be a wanderer. When they arrived in Mengzhou, Huang Shande had already ordered people to communicate with the private boat on the river, prepared porcelain cocoon silk and other famous goods in Hebei, and crossed the river.

This port is naturally Dulonggang, and now it looks different.But the rules have not changed since the moment Liang Shanjun took over.The boss of the boat pointed his hand at a house with a flagpole, and said to Shi Jin and Zhu Wu: "There is the Customs Office. When we land, I will take you to go through the formalities."

Huang Qiande's abundance of money and money is because he is afraid that Shi Jin will not understand the rules on the other side, and lose the big because of the small.And the boss of the boat takes money to do things, and he is also a trustworthy person.He led Shi Jin hand in hand through the whole process. The whole process was to get Shi Jin and Zhu Wu a temporary certificate, and then to pay a sum of taxes.

It's just that after Shi Dalang and the Shenji military division left, a guard in the hall of the customs office frowned. "Da Zhang, what do you think?"

"The two Lianjia sons, the leader of the martial arts is quite good. They both smell bloody, but they have a quack air..." This guard was the former imperial guard of the Jeju government, who surrendered to the Liangshan army on the battlefield. In the early days, he was only on duty in the reserve army. Later, when the Liangshan army swept Qilu, he chose to retire from the army and transfer to the local government. Now he works in the customs office.

From a long distance, he could smell the blood oozing from Shi Jin's body, which smelled like a battlefield.But Shi Jin and Zhu Wu's quackery at the same time made him dare not draw conclusions easily.But these two people are obviously not ordinary people. "Report immediately. If the king wants to send troops to the north, the Hebei government will definitely send them to work carefully, whether they are allowed or not."

Shi Jin and Zhu Wu didn't know the conversation behind them. The two hired a carriage outside the port, loaded it with goods, and rushed to Yanggu County.This Dulonggang is still a short distance away from Yanggu County, and after walking for half a day, there are still about ten miles to Yanggu County, and it is almost dusk.The chariots and horses rushed to a township, and saw that there was an inn beside the street, so Shi Jin and Zhu Wu strode in.

The shop is surrounded by railings to separate the inside and outside, and several seats are placed.Shi Jin chose a seat on the outside and sat opposite Zhu Wu.The waiter came over immediately, took off the rag from his shoulders, wiped the table, and asked: "You two guests, are you going to start the shop or close the shop?"

Shi Jin pointed to the cars and horses that had stopped outside and said, "Don't you see that the sun has already sunk down from the roof, let's close the shop."

Xiao Er laughed when he heard the words: "The two guest officials don't know, our Yanggu County is under the rule of King Lu, and we have not closed our doors at night. Every village has young and strong patrols at night, fighting with open fire, only to arrest Thieves and robbers. The guest officer just walks as usual at night, I am afraid that the guest officer will rush to the city to stay, so I talk like that."

Shi Jin said: "So that's how it makes people happy. We're hungry, and we're waiting for some wine and food. We're not in a hurry to go to the city. You'll have a [-] cents of wine with us first. What's the meat to go with the wine?" Food in Hebei is well supplied, not to mention wine and meat, but they have heard that Qilu is also rich, so they have a good meal.

Xiaoer said: "The shop has fresh pork and mutton, as well as canned whale meat."

Zhu Wudao: "Xiao Ke has heard of this whale meat a lot in the past, but has never tasted it. Today is the fulfillment of his long-cherished wish. Mutton is also good, but pork is fine. I heard that Qilu and the Liao people in the north replaced a lot of cattle, so it must be There is no shortage, and cut a large plate of beef with us."

Xiaoer laughed and said, "Don't blame the officials, but there is no beef. My king has issued repeated orders, prohibiting the killing of cattle, and those who violate it will be punished."

Zhu Wu laughed and said: "It doesn't matter. When we first arrived in Guizhou, we don't need to save these things. We don't have beef, mutton and whale meat. We also prepare some wine and meat for the driver."

"The guest officer is really a kind person." Xiaoer yelled loudly, only for a moment.Just bring wine and meat, and a plate of snow-like steamed buns.

Shi Jin lived in the Daming Mansion, and his mouth really faded away. Now when he saw wine and meat, he seemed to see flesh and blood relatives. He grabbed chopsticks and ate three or five mouthfuls, and then drank and swallowed. It was really refreshing.

At this time, Zhu Wu saw a group of teenagers outside, all wearing tight clothes and bare arms, tied with belts.Some carried guns and knives on their shoulders, some held bows and arrows, and walked over happily.Zhangkou asked: "Is there anyone in the market who teaches martial arts?"

Xiaoer stood outside the table sifting wine, looked outside and said, "This is the order of Chao Xianggong, the former prefect of Benzhou. The saying is that the world is not peaceful now, and the people should practice martial arts to defend themselves. On the ground of Jeju, although there is nothing wrong, But it’s hard to guarantee the future. In this way, the police chiefs of the local townships are ordered to teach the young people of the common people to practice martial arts during the slack season.”

This Liangshan army should be the policeman, and the disabled veterans of the army should be the local policemen. Shi Jin and Zhu Wu also know it.

"Mr. Chao was transferred to Huainan a few days ago to recruit, and the king transferred the current Mr. Li to be the prefect. This Mr. Li just asked people to follow the rules of the former Mr. Xianggong, and he did not change at all. He also sent a message to all townships, According to the booklet of flower households, the people are assigned to study. People from the prefectural city will be sent to the countryside to conduct investigations on an irregular basis. Who dares to disobey. So they all followed. Not to mention that there is nothing to do during the slack season, and each has its own advantages to practice skills. Those who are determined to join the army, now they are so lucky that they obey the government's order."

The little boy was just gossiping about things in Jeju, but he didn't see the changes in the expressions of Shi Jin and Zhu Wu.Earlier, I heard from this Xiaoer that there are young and strong patrols in every township at night, fighting with open fire, and only arresting thieves and robbers, I still think it is ridiculous.Now it seems that the one who is ridiculous is himself.

"It's difficult, it's difficult. The imperial court wants to set things right, so it's difficult." Zhu Wu said bitterly as Xiao Er stepped back.With a little reorganization of this kind of people, isn't it an army?Shi Dalang seemed unable to hear the words, and bent his head down to eat.

In the evening, a group of young men came to the door with wooden sticks and spears, bows and knives.The person in charge was a gentleman, and said: "The villain is the patrolman here. You have to ask the guest officer, don't blame me."

Shi Jin and Zhu Wu were fully prepared, so naturally they were not afraid of interrogation. Seeing that the two of them spoke fluently, the patrolman didn't hesitate to interrogate them, and left after singing.However, Zhu Wu was worried and said: "The Liangshan army is really not the same as the Song Dynasty. When you enter the city tomorrow, be more careful." Shi Jinzi also raised his guard and said: "In the past, I waited for a gathering at Shaohua Mountain. , if the government of Huazhou also acts like this, then we will have nowhere to go."

In the early morning of the next day, the two settled the store accounts, rushed into Cebu in a carriage, and entered the city on the back of the frost.Not long after walking, the red sun rose in the east, and a piece of sunlight shone on a forest, revealing a corner of the tower of Yanggu County.When they arrived at the gate of the city, the two saw that the country pickers of firewood and vegetables were walking towards the city in a file.

Facing the moat and the bridge, there are two rows of shops standing side by side.There are five or seven small shops in the middle, the steaming drawers on the stove are steaming, and the inside is buzzing, full of people eating and eating.

"It's been a long time since I've seen such a peaceful scene, but it's actually a bandit's realm." Zhu Wu looked at it with emotion.

The two of them looked towards Chengmen Road, lost in thought. "Yanggu is really a prosperous place. If we really do business, we might not make a big deal if we come here."

So Shi Jin waited in the car, and Zhu Wu went down to ask questions.

The military master Shenji found a small shop, used a dime of silver, and asked Xiao Er.He only said that he was a merchant from Hebei and wanted to sell goods.

"It's not difficult. Entering this east gate is a good place to go. There is a store for groceries inside, so you can settle there. If you want to find customers by yourself and do a good business, you should stay in the city. It's full. ask."

"That's what reassures me. I'm in Dulonggang, and I heard that this place is gathering troops, and I'm afraid that the market will be depressed."

Xiao Er laughed loudly, "Our king has his own way of doing things, and he will never cut off the people's livelihood and economy because of the strength of the army. What's more, the Song army is weak and weak. How many times our king has been in and out of Hebei in the past, just It seems to have entered no man's land. Those soldiers are all gathered in the big camp outside the south gate, and they can't be seen easily. They will definitely not disturb the officials' business."

"I just don't know what kind of business officials and people do. If there is something rare to eat, they are going to the south gate. There are soldiers and horses practicing there every day, and countless people gather outside the school grounds..."
