The rise of the poor

"Jiaxing City, do you want reinforcements? If not, we will go back! When we get back, tell our general that you Jiaxing City does not need reinforcements, and the subsequent large forces will not need to go!"

"Open the door. If you don't open the door, I will leave!"

"Leave without opening the door!"

When Magistrate Zhao and the others walked to the top of the city, the soldiers and horses locked outside the city gate were already protesting.

"Quiet, quiet, our master is here. No matter how dishonest you are, your guard will not be able to stay!"

"The Master of the Palace is here. You all should be quiet for me. If you act too carelessly, I will teach you to be human beings!"

"Anyone who makes more noise will be treated as a Japanese pirate ally! Anyway, it won't be a problem if the prison in the city can hold 800 or [-] people!"

When the soldiers on the city wall saw Magistrate Zhao and other officials coming, they hurriedly cursed at the people below to maintain order.

"Stop being rude! The reinforcements outside the city are our saviors. Is this your attitude towards your benefactors?!"

After Magistrate Zhao arrived at the city, he first reprimanded the defenders on the city who were cursing and maintaining order in front of a crowd of soldiers outside the city.

"That's right, we are your saviors, not your enemies. We came all the way to rescue you, but you still threaten us! You don't know how to repay kindness! It's clear that kindness will be repaid with hatred!"

"The lord of the palace is worthy of being the lord of the palace. What he says is pleasing to the ears. We listen to the lord of the palace."

"Well, you are worthy of being the prefect! What you say makes sense!"

The soldiers and horses of the city reform cheered loudly for Magistrate Zhao's speech, and there was a loud round of applause.

Magistrate Zhao smiled and pressed his hand down.

"Thank you all for coming all the way to rescue Jiaxing City. On behalf of the more than 20 people in the city, I would like to express my gratitude to you."

As Magistrate Zhao spoke, he bowed his hands to the soldiers and horses in the city to show his gratitude.

"I don't dare to thank you as a lord."

"With the words of the great master, we will die without regrets. We are willing to work hard for the great master until we die without regrets."

The soldiers and horses in the city were flattered and returned the favor in a mess, expressing their willingness to do their best for Magistrate Zhao.

"Thank you for not being the magistrate. Protecting Jiaxing Mansion is the duty of our guard." The general who led the soldiers and horses in the city returned the salute with clasped fists.

Magistrate Zhao looked at the soldiers and horses under the city and returned the courtesy and thanked him. It was very useful. Especially when the general who led the soldiers and horses under the city said that it was his job, he nodded. This general was good-looking and well-spoken. He couldn't help but read more. Two eyes.

After looking at it twice more, Magistrate Zhao let out a sigh, stuck his head out from the wall, waved to him condescendingly, and asked doubtfully: "Hey, General, come closer and let me take a closer look. Whose last name is that, and why do you look unfamiliar? I have been to your health center once during the Chinese New Year, but it seems that I have never seen you before?"

The atmosphere under the city gate suddenly became a little tense, and the voices of people whispering and shouting could not help but become a little quieter.

The leading general in the city was disguised as Xu Hai.

Beside him, on the left is General Zhao Dezhu who has surrendered, and on the right is Ma Ye disguised as a general of the Ming army.

Facing Magistrate Zhao's inquiry, Xu Hai didn't reveal anything on his face. He stepped forward with a half-compliment and half-pleasant attitude and explained: "Your Excellency has a keen eye. The last general, Wang Tieshan, dare not hide it from Your Majesty. Your Excellency is here to celebrate the New Year." When we were at the guard station, the last general was just a small flag officer, and he was not qualified to attend at that time, so he had no chance to meet the Lord."

After hearing Xu Hai's explanation, Magistrate Zhao's face became more confused, and he immediately asked, "During the Chinese New Year, you were just a small flag officer. Now it's less than a year, how can you be able to take charge of your own affairs?"

"Ahem, I don't dare to hide it from the Lord. The general's sister just married General Han of the Wei Suo in February this year. She was honored to become his concubine. The general made some small contributions in June this year. With the recommendation of General Han, I was promoted to a general bannerman. I performed meritoriously in suppressing the bandits in October this year, and was promoted to Dai Baihu. After I heard that Lord Fu asked for help, General Han recommended me as a vanguard officer to lead the vanguard army to Jiaxing City. Rescue, our Yangcheng Guard army will arrive soon. Our general said that after arriving in Jiaxing City, let us unconditionally obey the orders of Lord Fu Zun and protect the safety of Jiaxing City to the death."

As soon as Magistrate Zhao finished speaking, Xu Hai clasped his fists, coughed, and explained with some embarrassment.

Magistrate Zhao couldn't help but smile after hearing this. So it turned out to be nepotism caused by Han Heizi who left.

Other officials on the city couldn't help but laugh.

No wonder this guy got promoted so fast, he was just a small flag during the Chinese New Year, and in less than a year, he was even promoted to the third level, became a generation of hundred households, and was the only leader in the vanguard.

What a cruel heart.

That Han Heizi is as fat as a pig, unkempt and slovenly, and likes to eat stinky food such as stinky tofu, stinky mandarin fish, and stinky fermented bean curd. The stench is there even before the person arrives. This guy is willing to marry his sister. Being Han Heizi's third concubine is really like a flower stuck in cow dung!

Haha, the reason why Han Heizi recommended him as a pioneer officer and came to Jiaxing City to listen to the instructions was to gild him again, get some credit, remove the word "dai" from Dai Baihu, and become a Baihu. .

This Wang Tieshan is pretty good-looking, and his sister must be a beautiful woman like a flower. Otherwise, how could Han Heizi, with his hands-off shopkeeper character, come up with Wang Tieshan again and again.

I really want to meet this little lady Wang and see how stunning she is and how good she is at blowing the wind.

Just a pity!

"I see, with three moves in a year, it seems that General Wang is also a rare general in your guard."

Magistrate Zhao smiled slightly and complimented.

"Don't dare to do it, don't dare to do it" Xu Hai pretended to be red-faced and said embarrassedly.

"General Wang, we are responsible for the more than [-] people in the city. We have to verify your identities. Please be considerate. The city has prepared a lot of fish and meat. After the verification, you can enjoy it when you enter the city."

Magistrate Zhao said gently.

"Of course, when I came here, my brother-in-law, no, General Han, told me that whether it was verification or command, I would have full authority to follow the arrangements of Mr. Fu Zun. I also asked Mr. Fu Zun to verify and we will fully cooperate."

Xu Hai replied with a flattering look.

"Very good, General Wang, you said that you are the vanguard of Yangcheng Guards. How can you prove it?" Magistrate Zhao asked.

"Your Excellency, I have in my hand a reply written by my brother-in-law, no, General Han."

As Xu Hai spoke, he took out a handwritten letter from his pocket, and put it into the basket that fell from the city, and someone from the city pulled it up.

Then, Xu Hai respectfully stepped aside, invited Zhao Dezhu to the side, lit a torch with his own hands to illuminate Zhao Dezhu's face, and said flatteringly: "In addition, there is General Zhao who can testify for us. It was General Zhao who went to Yang The city guards asked us to come for reinforcements, and General Han asked me to be the vanguard officer, and he said it in front of General Zhao."

Under the light of the torch, Zhao Dezhu clasped his fists and saluted, and replied loudly: "I am here to pay my respects to Mr. Fu Zun. There is no doubt that General Wang is the vanguard general sent by General Han after he went to Yangcheng Guard to ask for help." (End of this chapter)
