Chapter 51: Nothing to do
87_87379 went out of the city overnight, Li Dacheng was just about to take people on the boat, but he didn't expect the martial artist Liu Dadao to follow, he also did the Boxer a few months ago, and now the Boxer has become a bandit He is afraid of being implicated, so he wants to follow Li Dacheng out to avoid trouble, which is exactly what Li Dacheng wants, Liu Dadao's knife technique is really good, just to teach the brothers of the Yellow River Boxing.
The boat is quite stable on the canal, but the surrounding area of Jinmen is not very stable, there is no light at night, from time to time there is a light like waves, this is the official army is killing the Boxers, day and night to kill, the Boxers these days brought to the Wuwei Army the depression and depression, these two days have been completely vented out.
Nie Shicheng is resolute, participated in the Twist, Sino-French War, the First Sino-Japanese War, and is one of the few people with outstanding military achievements, the Boxers are bandits, just because of the accommodation of the Governor Yamen of Zhili, he suffered a lot of splints from all sides, this time the Armed Guards killed the Boxers, Nie Shicheng did not have the opportunity to retaliate.
This time to suppress the bandits, the Wuwei army received the will of the imperial court, got rid of the restrictions of the governor's yamen, the fierce tiger of the Wuwei army naturally did not have to be polite to the Boxers, Beijing and Tianjin were full of Boxers, and they pushed forward along the road to kill, and they would never kill the wrong one.
Most of the Boxers who were exterminated were also blindless, Cao Futian ran away, Zhang Decheng escaped, and Li Dacheng was also going to withdraw to Cangzhou Mansion? But these blind ones are the real Boxers, this time the Zhilu army was ordered to kill the Boxer bandits, undoubtedly planted the seeds of tyranny in the hearts of the Boxers, and when the Boxers rise again, the tyranny must be uncontrollable.
Once the foreign devils come in the future, the Boxers will calmly retreat according to this experience, the Boxers will not be able to hide, and the rest are ordinary people, and the powers want to retaliate, and they are not looking for ordinary people.
Li Dacheng can think of these things, but he can't change anything, his level is too low, and now I don't know what the situation in Cangzhou Mansion is like? In case the Cangzhou Mansion kills the Yellow River Fist without knowing whether it is alive or dead, then the matter will be troublesome, and it will only take half a day to defeat the Cangzhou Mansion, but who will deal with the armed guards behind?
Constantly urging the boatmen to speed up, brace the pole, rock the oar, paddle, and set sail, but all the power, Li Dacheng used it, and pressed the Yellow River to fight Cangzhou Mansion, which must be done, otherwise once the Wuwei army was attracted to the south, it would be a big trouble.
Even if there is Li Dacheng's constant urging, but the distance of the waterway is constant, and the speed of the boat is relatively constant, at noon the next day, the boatmen are tired and almost out of nothing, but Cangzhou Mansion still did not enter Li Dacheng's eyes.
Without the drive of manpower, the speed of the boat on the canal is very slow, in the torment of the fleet to Cangzhou Mansion, the situation here is already a little tense, on the city wall opposite the refugee camp, set up a few artillery, is facing the south gate of Cangzhou Mansion, the side of the refugee camp, also piled up large and small obstacles, Cao Baofu, Li Dahan are here, the Yellow River fist and the people and horses, are also tense, staring at the artillery on the city.
"Nonsense! Da Han, Lao Cao, disperse the people! Make way in and out of town!
Is there a sincerity? ”
He has already instructed Li Cheng to coexist peacefully with Cangzhou Mansion, otherwise Li Dacheng would not dare to stay in Jinmen for a long time, but who knows, the scene in Cangzhou Mansion is about to erupt?
"Uncle, I'm here!"
"What's going on?"
"Cangzhou Mansion moved first, and set up artillery at our camp without a sound, Uncle Da Han and Uncle Cao are also thinking about the safety of the refugee camp!"
"Humph! For the sake of the safety of the refugee camps, there should be no confrontation! How's the matter of salt storage in the state capitals? ”
As soon as the scene of the confrontation comes out, it will undoubtedly cut off this financial road, Cangzhou Mansion is broken, the key is other states and counties, now is the time when the price of salt rises sharply, without this business, you have to spend money to buy grain.
"It's all shipped out of the city, and there are more and more refugees during this time, and the salt goods that we originally planned to transport in two months will be transported to the banks of the canal in half a month!
There are few soldiers in other states and counties, and they have not dared to be like Cangzhou Mansion! ”
came back in time, as long as the Yellow River Fist did not attack Cangzhou Fucheng, it would be easy to do, Li Dacheng breathed a sigh of relief, and ordered Li Chengyou to send someone into the city to deliver a letter to Jiang Huiyun, Jiang Huiyun is the link, this matter can only rely on his three-inch tongue.
Wandering between the enemy and us, it is also one of the responsibilities of the master, Jiang Huiyun is a bold, in the evening, he entered the refugee camp, to be honest, Cangzhou Mansion really can't fight the refugee camp outside the city, and the artillery at the head of the city is just a deterrent, who would have thought that the refugee camp will not give face at all, and we will prepare to attack the city with artillery on your side, and the matter of artillery deterrence has directly become the biggest failure of Cangzhou Mansion.
Once the refugees besiege the city, Cangzhou Mansion will be the next Zhuozhou, and the Zhuozhou prefect is still on a hunger strike! At this time, no one is afraid of causing conflict!
"Strongman, this ......"
"Let's not talk about this yet, Mr. Jiang will come with me!"
There was a big confrontation between the refugee camp and the Cangzhou government, and it was no longer easy to reason, and Li Dawei didn't want to expose what the Xigu arsenal had obtained, but now he had to expose it, otherwise, without a certain deterrent, reasoning would not work.
Taking Jiang Huiyun all the way to the tent where the guns were stored, Li Dacheng opened the tarpaulin, opened a box of Shinand, and brought a bag of the Wuwei army's uniforms.
"Foreign guns! Wu Weijun? ”
The army of the Qing Dynasty, most of the guns used now are foreign guns, even if they are made by the machine, they are also foreign guns, as for the clothes of the Wu Wei Army, the officials of Cangzhou Mansion can not know it, but Jiang Huiyun can't help but know it, I don't know what the Wu Wei Army is wearing in Zhili, so Jiang Huiyun, the master, doesn't have to do anything, just go home and hug my wife and children.
"When they came, I asked them to show their hiding, and Mr. Jiang didn't find out?"
When Lao Cao and the others came back from transporting firearms, Li Dacheng specially ordered them to show their hiding, in order to deter Cangzhou Mansion, it seems that no one paid attention to it at that time!
"Alas...... Some time ago, the Laishui Boxers occupied Zhuozhou, not only the imperial court was shaken, but the Cangzhou Mansion was also in chaos, thinking about how to suppress the Boxers, who would go to see the situation in the refugee camp? ”
Seeing the long boxes full of tents, Jiang Huiyun checked a few bites, and his heart was relaxed, with the Wuwei Army guarding, this refugee camp would be much more stable!
"There are only livery and guns, and the people here are still Yellow River Boxing!"
"What?"
Jiang Huiyun's heart just fell, Li Dacheng gave him a hard blow, Jiang Huiyun almost didn't jump up when he heard this, is this pretending to be an official soldier?
"It's still the Yellow River Boxing, but with an extra layer of skin!
Mr. Jiang, do you know what the Yellow River Boxing is for? ”
"Needless to say? Boxer! ”
glared at Li Dacheng angrily, and when he saw him, Jiang Huiyun also had a bottom in his heart, this one didn't run, it seemed that he was fine!
"Mr. Jiang, have you ever seen that Boxer did not burn the church to kill Maozi, but instead delivered grain to Beijing and Tianjin? It's only been less than half a month, right? We have transported hundreds of thousands of grains in Jinmen, and there are fewer in the capital, but there are more than 100,000 taels.
Why do you say that? To make money? If that's the case, wouldn't it be better to stock up beforehand? Now that the sea route has been cut off, how can the price of grain in Beijing and Tianjin have been rolled five or six, how much silver does this cost? ”
It's better to figure it out by yourself, dig a big hole for Jiang Huiyun, Li Dacheng doesn't speak, and he can only think about the matter of hoarding grain, otherwise there will be a shortage of food in Beijing and Tianjin, and the first unlucky one is Li Chengyou on the canal, and selling grain directly can be regarded as something that has to be done.
"Restore the transportation and stabilize the grain prices in Beijing and Tianjin?"
"Don't talk about this, let's talk about what you Cangzhou Mansion did! Set up a cannon at the head of the city, and when this cannon comes down, the luck will be broken, this thing ......"
"Oops! Master, why didn't you say it earlier! ”
Cao Yun is broken, Beijing and Tianjin will also run out of grain, although Beijing and Tianjin have their own treasury, granary, but what about the people? Now is the time for fistfighting, and the people have no food in their hands, isn't it all the Boxers?
After figuring out this joint, Jiang Huiyun slapped his thigh violently, this matter of setting up a cannon is really a dangerous trick, the officials from Cangzhou Mansion walked directly in front of the ghost gate!
"How so? The Boxers transported grain to the imperial court? Mr. Jiang, can you give me an explanation?
Now the states and counties around Cangzhou Mansion are all guarding against us! If the salt is gone, the food will be gone, so you can do it! ”
At this time, the imperial court and the people have a saying, called green and yellow, last year's grain storage is not much, the new grain can not be beaten, the imperial court will also exterminate the Boxers, Zhili is considered a mess, Zhili this autumn is afraid that the new grain will be greatly discounted, the grain on the sea route has been cut off, and the transportation is broken again, pointing to the land route of grain supply to Beijing and Tianjin, the officials and businessmen can eat, can the people afford to eat?
The short-term intermittent sea route allowed Li Dacheng to grasp the throat of Beijing and Tianjin with the help of Cao Gong, and the sea transportation was cut off not long ago, and the food crisis had not yet appeared.
Beijing and Tianjin have relied on grain from the south for a long time, coupled with the expansion of the population, the food shortage is a flash, half of the people in the Beijing and Tianjin areas are hungry, there is really a food shortage, the imperial court will not reason with the local officials, the responsibility of Caoyun is cut off, the first thing to be investigated is Cangzhou Mansion!
Grasping this, coupled with the guns in the camp, Cangzhou Mansion is a commodity that can be played with at will in Li Dacheng's eyes, and he has to put it out obediently if he poses it.
"Strong man, can you ask for a decree to reopen the luck?"
Li Dacheng has his own ideas, why not Jiang Huiyun? Now Caoyun, only undertake the transportation of imperial grain, if it can be restored, this is a canal with silver, how many points are fished up and down Cangzhou Mansion, it is a pot full of bowls, at this time, please reopen Caoyun, money is secondary, the key is political achievements!
"Humph! Reopening the Transport? Should the canal be dredged? Do you want to build a new boat? Do you want silver for Cao Gong and Cao Yong?
If the imperial court has this spare money, can Lao Tzu come to Cangzhou Mansion? ”
The administration of the imperial court, the key is in a money word, why the Cao Yun is cut off, it is not too expensive, the volume is too small, compared with the sea transport, the Cao Yun is indeed not dominant, time-consuming, labor-intensive, money-consuming, reopening the canal is not a matter of millions of taels of silver, but millions of taels per year, such a price, the Qing Dynasty is now unable to pay!
"Uh...... So what should Cangzhou Mansion do? ”
How do you say that? Shouldn't courtiers be sympathetic to the court? It seems to be a good idea to reopen Caoyun, but it is not a good idea after playing, this is a slap in the face of the court, it is good to reopen Caoyun, but the court really has no money! With such an excerpt, how do you let the elders in the court deal with themselves?
"What to do? Now that you know you're scared?
With the help of refugees from the two provinces of Zhilu, Cangzhou Government struggled to maintain Cao Yun, and the Cangzhou Government raised its own grain and grass! Is this a valid claim?
Now the Boxers are invincible and punishable, so don't talk about the Boxers, talk about the refugees, talk about the merits, and let Lao Tzu impeach and suppress the Boxers, wouldn't it be better for us to be at peace with each other?
Shape shì, you Mr. Jiang still don't understand it! A month later, you can see that this Boxer is still not a bandit! ”
How to say it is all on the stick of a pen, Jiang Huiyun is not unaware of such a truth, but he was suppressed by Li Dacheng, with a little bit of Li Dacheng, things will be clear, it is nothing more than the Boxers around Cangzhou Mansion are not as fierce as Zhuozhou, and it is also a merit without whitewashing, and it is a flower cluster if you whitewash it!
"The strong man is right! We have nothing to do with each other, the affairs of the state capitals to transport salt, the Cangzhou government will coordinate today, and now ensuring the transportation of Beijing, Tianjin and Cao is the first priority of our ministers! ”
The matter is clear, straightening out is just a matter of a few words from Cangzhou Mansion, Li Dacheng also has the heart to expand his strength again, and he will take it over easily, and now the Yellow River Boxing is still too weak
