Chapter 8: The Prisoner
After receiving the Jun order, Yang Fei was extremely surprised, not because he wanted to disobey the order, if it was just sent by Qionghai to appease the envoy, with his current ministry in the Qiongzhou Navy and Army, it was still possible, of course, Jiang Cai had never done this. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info But what is the other party, who is in charge of the land of the two prefectures, three armies and twenty states of the road, and controls the commander of the army and horses stationed in the road, and the commander of the road who is justifiably the commander, is he able to contend with?
Of course not, to his surprise, Qionghai is a big island hanging overseas, no matter where it comes from, how can it not bypass those patrol ships under his command, why did he not get the news until everyone was promoted to the court, but he still couldn't figure out when the people arrived and where they landed?
I don't understand, I don't understand, I have to run this time, and after explaining the matter to the deputy, he rushed to the state capital on horseback with his own soldiers. Coming all the way from the Thanksgiving Gate, the horse's hooves are tapping on the hard pavement, which is a different kind of enjoyment, but this feeling is not until you enter the city gate, and you find that there is something strange inside.
The sergeant of the forbidden army with bright armor stood on the side of the road in three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, and sealed the street from the city gate to the Fufu Embassy Division tightly, and the tense atmosphere arose, so that he was almost about to dismount immediately, but a sergeant deliberately mentioned it, and only then rode all the way to the intersection of the Fufu Envoy Yamen, and then was stopped.
"Fall off the horse, report your name and ministry." A man with a big head reached out and pulled his halter head, unceremoniously invited the man down, and led him to a bookcase.
"Yang Fei, a subordinate, is the commander of the Qiongzhou Navy and Army."
After registering his identity and handing over his portable saber, Yang Fei actually felt a little scared, there was a smell of meat being slaughtered on the cutting board, and the head of the capital seemed to be surprised, and stretched out his hand to the side.
"Yang Dutong, please wait over there, it's time to sing inside, you can go in again."
"Thanks for the pointers."
Yang Fei walked towards the door of the office, at this time he had time to take a look at the completely different envoys, the walls on both sides were full of various signs, on which the official name of the writer was written, the two most conspicuous one was "Fuwen Pavilion Straight Bachelor", and the other was "Soldier Squire".
Familiar with the official system, of course, he understands the power of these words, generally speaking, the position of the museum is mostly an honorary title, and it is usually lower than the first rank of the official of Jilu. Guangxi is the wrong way, the fourth or even the fifth grade of the official can be competent, and the person who came is actually from the third grade of the "military department", this is not enough, there is also the same from the third grade of the museum in the body, this can only show that the person who came is extraordinary, no wonder there will be such a big battle, not good.
Standing with him were several commanders of Jiang Cai's subordinates and Yu Hou, these were military generals, and standing at the other end was a bunch of young officials in green robes, Yang Fei recognized one of them as the county magistrate of Qiongshan County, and the other few seemed to be the heads of several counties in the territory, they were not so much literati as Xu officials, how could there be any serious scholars in a place like Qionghai who would come?
As the sergeant on duty walked out of the house from time to time and shouted, there were fewer and fewer people around Yang Fei, and he could bear it at first, because he came quite late, so naturally his name came last, but slowly he felt that something was wrong. Mo said that the military general, even the pile of green-robed officials went in and out, the sun was about to sink, he subconsciously looked back and forth, except for the sergeant standing on the street like a wooden stake, only his lonely figure remained, as if he had been forgotten.
On the lobby of the Qionghai Zhaofu Envoy, the lights are bright, the thick butter candles illuminate the lobby brightly, and the pine torches are lit outside the hall, looking like stars in the distance, and then it is pitch black, after all, this is only the thirteenth century, and the cost of luminescence is immeasurably high, how can it support the prosperity of later generations.
"Who else?"
Liu Yu, who was dressed in a vermilion purple uniform, stretched out his arms, wanting to turn his somewhat stiff neck with it, and the long wings hit the wall behind him at once, I don't know who invented it, it's really a genius design.
"There is another person, whether to call him in or not, the owner can decide." Yang Xingqian, who was still dressed in regular clothes, took the booklet and pointed to the line of words on it with his finger and said.
Liu Yu took it and looked at it, and he understood the meaning of this staff, beating, or subduing, now it is different from the past, before it was mainly to show grace, in order to lay a good foundation, because he had no foundation at that time, he couldn't give what others wanted, and now he needs not only ability, but more importantly, loyalty, not loyalty to the country, but to himself.
There has never been loyalty for no reason in this world, that is, in the party that is so tightly organized and has such strong beliefs in later generations, there are still countless traitors, not to mention that he is now just a feudal bureaucrat, or a feudal bureaucrat who has just taken office and does not have any connections, so all this today is so important, and it is by no means that he wants to be deliberately hypocritical.
As the saying goes: The things of the world are combined with the benefit, and the profit will also be separated, but now he can't take care of it, in his own jurisdiction, there is still a large army of the Yuan people, he must turn any force into his help, not the other way around.
"Almost, call in."
Yang Xingqian heard the order, didn't say anything, gave him a salute and walked into the back hall, calling people This kind of thing naturally can't be done by him, leaving is just to give the owner a private space, just turn the wall, and see a woman standing there with her head down, her hands twisting the corners of her clothes.
"Erniang? You want to see Fu Shuai, but I'm afraid that this will not be empty, so it's better to talk to someone and see if you can do it. ”
"The slave doesn't have anything to do and wants to thank him, since he can't be free, next time, I don't know if Mr. has ever eaten, and the kitchen has always been prepared." Huang Erniang is still a low-eyebrow pleasing style, Yang Xingqian didn't think it was strange, but she was really hungry when she mentioned it like this.
"Fu Shuai hasn't used it yet, you can bring it in later, Jiang Zhaofu hasn't come back?" While following her, he asked casually.
"I heard him go out of town."
Yang Xingqian was stunned for a moment, Jiang Cai has been staying outside the city since he let Si Ya out, is it really as rumored that he will be transferred? There is such an official office in the city, Liu Yu requisitioned it, Jiang Cai, the chief official, will naturally look a little embarrassed, and staying outside was originally expected, Yang Xingqian shook his head, his identity changed, and even his thoughts were different, and everyone was suspicious.
In fact, Huang Erniang was not wrong, Jiang Cai did stay outside the city at this time, but it was not to avoid suspicion as Yang Xingqian imagined, but there was something else.
The whole Qiongzhou is like a big construction site, there are people coming from all over the wharf every day to apply for work, the strange thing is that no matter how many people come, there will not be too many recruits, as if there is a huge hole behind it that will devour people, endlessly.
You must know that there are really not a few people working in it today, the largest one comes from the prisoners of the Jiankang War, as many as 30,000 Han troops and new annexed troops before and after, and even hundreds of Mongolian cavalry troops, dozens of color craftsmen, all of whom have become excellent free laborers.
The rest are the same number of local and foreign recruits, as well as a growing number of Shanlinyi people, who are running in and cooperating with each other. From the troubles at the beginning, I gradually got used to it, and the price I paid was those wooden stakes standing on the side of the road, each with an air-dried human head hanging on it!
In addition to these, there is also a small number of extremely special sources, that is, exiles sent from all over the place, after all, this is the place of exile appointed by the imperial court, and there are not only criminals who are extremely heinous but not to death, but also former court officials who have committed crimes or failed in the political ~ struggle, even if they are too old, as long as they can still work, they must go to the construction site, which is both punishment and atonement.
When Jiang Cai walked into this camp, the smell inside was not good, Rao was used to staying in the barracks, and he still couldn't help but snort, but Shi Zhong, who was leading the way in front, didn't care, just like in his own home, and greeted acquaintances while walking, until he was in front of a tent.
“...... As far as your ability is concerned, you still dare to brag in front of Lao Tzu, just your number, Lao Tzu can deal with three or five with an anklet, don't you believe it? Let's go out for a yo-yo. ”
"Slip-on, slip-on, whoever loses, tomorrow's earthwork will belong to whomever it is."
In the midst of laughter, the tent door made of coarse cloth was opened, and a group of shirtless men walked outside, and suddenly saw two people with torches, wearing clothes and armor, all of a sudden stayed there, and a few of the leaders looked at Shi Zhong suspiciously, looking a little incredulous.
"Are you Shi Dutou?"
"Yes, you still have a memory, so do you remember the covenant between you and me?" Shi Zhong grinned.
"Now?"
"Of course, if a man fights, do you have to pick an auspicious day of the zodiac, more than ten brothers of Lao Tzu are folded under your hands, don't let someone succeed, otherwise your father and mother will not recognize it."
"Phew, you killed most of Lao Tzu's brothers, this account, I have long wanted to settle it with you, and I am afraid that you will not dare to come if you have no eggs, if your hands are heavy for a while, remember to call forgiveness, lest Lao Tzu lose his weight and die."
The two of them scolded and walked towards the open space, Jiang Cai and the soldiers he brought lit the surroundings with torches, forming a small circular field, and the surrounding prisoners and the sergeants guarding saw that they were lively, and consciously played the role of onlookers and cheerleaders, and all this, Jiang Cai was not interested, his eyes noticed a person, a beard with white hair and a slender figure.
"Bu Shuai?"
Hearing this long-heard title, Sun Huchen was shocked, and half a bowl of water in his hand suddenly swung out, when he raised his head, Jiang Cai couldn't believe that the person in front of him, who looked like a beggar and had an old face, was the commander of the first army who was full of spirit and led an army of 70,000 to rush to the Tartars half a year ago!
