"Don't worry." Wang Sanyi, who had been silent, only gritted his teeth when his daughter was insulted by Guan Er and his gang, suddenly raised his head and said to Liang Shifa: "Your hundred households have a very high spirit, and you are a person who does great things. Such a person will not be easily shaken when he sees things, even if he is a mountain of swords and a sea of blood, he dares to fight and break through. Now that you 100 households open a salt pond to dry salt, Yang Shida and his gang will cut off his way of buying grain, and they will definitely find trouble selling salt in the future, even if it is for the big event of the salt pond, you 100 households will come to do a game with Yang Shida and his gang, not to mention that you are here? He wants to make money by drying salt, and he also has to train soldiers, why? It's just that there is the power of self-preservation in troubled times, if you easily give up on those of you who follow him, who will really serve and die in the future? Yang Shida is like this, but he is entangled in some green-skinned scoundrels, and uses interests to lead people around, and once there is a disadvantage, he will scatter and flee, Yuan Qi will not use people like this, because I am very sure in my heart...... He will definitely come! ”

Liang Shifa listened in a daze, and only after Wang Sanyi finished speaking, did he say: "Lao Baihu has only been to our side twice, and he knows our Baihu so well, which is really admirable." ”

Although Wang Sanyi was tied up in the dark room, his old face was still red at this time, and he said in a low voice: "Actually, doing big things, having the heart, and training to be strong are most likely said by my little daughter." I've been there twice, and when I got home, the little girl asserted......"

In fact, Wang Ermei has a very high evaluation of Min Yuanqi, but there are some things that are not easy to say, for example, this person has trained in the army, I am afraid that it is a new general, such as Caozhou Liu, Huama Liu, etc., which may not be a good thing for the people. If there are strong figures in the locality, it is easy to be bullied by outsiders, and if there are strong figures in the locality, the local people are prone to lose too much if they follow this kind of heroic figures, and the loss of labor and money and even the loss of casualties is just a stepping stone for the big people to move upward. Wang Ermei's meaning is that she can make friends appropriately and show goodwill, and even give some help, but she can't get too close, so as not to be involved by Min Yuanqi......

At that time, the father and daughter talked in the Wang family's 100 official halls, Wang Mingyuan was not very happy with his sister's evaluation of Min Yuanqi, and most of the talented and talented ministers were like this, and it was difficult for people who were not their kind of scholars to be looked down upon, especially the martial artists who were despised by them were even more unlikely to be recognized. However, Wang Mingyuan quite agreed with his sister's words about beware of Min Yuanqi, which is also the reason why Wang Mingyuan went to Min Yuanqi for trouble after Wang Sanyi's accident, but Wang Ermei is much calmer, to the point where she can go out to save her father, only Min Yuanqi can go out to save her father, whether he was involved by this person, how to calculate this account afterwards, this is all an afterthought.

From this point of view, Wang Ermei's mind is much clearer than her talented brother, but the people who are imprisoned in the dark room are still unknown at this moment.

"You have your mind set and wait for Yuan Qi and them to come to save us." Wang Sanyi was also tied to the pillar backwards, but he was quite optimistic, and he smiled to comfort everyone.

How could Min Yuanjin, Liang Shifa and the others be completely relieved, and everyone stopped talking, just looking at the locked wooden door, looking forward to a miracle.

……

Guan Er and the others came out of the warehouse on the north side of the river, passed through the moon cave door in the southwest corner, and walked about ten steps to the west side of the main hall, and passed through the eaves of the corridor to the front door of the lobby with five bays.

There are lanterns hanging everywhere, there are more than a dozen lamps hanging under the eaves, the courtyards on the east and west sides, the wings on both sides of the main house, the main gate room going straight to the south, and dozens of lamps are hung along the way.

On the wharf in the southeast corner, there are also air lanterns hanging high, and the lights are raised high, so that if there are boats coming over on the river, the people on duty can see it from a long distance.

It's not that no one wants to sneak across the water pass at night, but it makes sense that the water pass was located here, the whole big river is the narrowest here, even if you don't have a lamp, as long as there is moonlight, you can see the river surface clearly, at night there are patrolling green skin scoundrels, once you see a boat, you will scold and rush to the river, shouting and scolding to ask someone to sail the boat over, and the money will be doubled at night, if you dare to escape, the green skins chase with oars, they are outnumbered, and ordinary civilian boats can't run them at all.

After a long time, it was natural that no one dared to steal at night, and in the evening the salters drank and had fun in the river house, and the doors were wide open and brightly lit, and they were not afraid that any boats would dare to risk stealing them.

Guan Er and the others returned to the upper room, Yang Shida was sitting in the middle seat, and when he saw Guan Er coming, he scolded with a smile: "How many thieves should be on duty to consume energy and effort? I have good things to share with you, but you are delayed. ”

Guan Er sat down and asked, "What's the matter with the eldest brother?" ”

Yang Shida pointed to a middle-aged man with a short beard beside him, and said with a smile: "This is Master Mao sent by my brother, he told you." ”

Guan Er knew that the middle-aged man in front of him was sent by Yang Shili, and immediately got up and saluted, and said with a smile: "Master Mao has any orders, just tell me, I will do my best." ”

"This matter is important," Master Mao smiled, with a somewhat reserved look on his face, he whispered to Guan Er: "Recently, Lord Liu, the chief soldier of Shandong Town, brought guest soldiers to enter the Huai'an area, and the second brother knows about this?" ”

"Master said with a smile." Guan Er said: "The guest soldiers are now collecting food everywhere, and the chickens and dogs are restless in the troublesome places, and many people are looking for us to complain, but what can people like us do?" Even if our people have been beaten by guest soldiers, what can we do? Tell everyone to bear with it. ”

In addition to oppressing the locals, the local green-skinned scoundrels will actually prevent the entry of foreign forces, which is in line with local interests from this point.

If it was an ordinary small group of foreign bandits, or a rout of the rebels, Yang Shida and Guan Er had chased these people, one to prevent them from grabbing the territory, and the other to drive these people away, the local government or powerful gentry would feel that this group of people was still of some use, and would not really deal with them ruthlessly.

However, before Yang Shida and Guan Er dealt with a small stream of rogues and defeated soldiers, now Liu Zeqing has brought tens of thousands of guest soldiers, and he has long been anti-guest-oriented, Huai'an's local officials and Dahewei, Huai'an Wei have no way to take guest soldiers, and the big men in various counties have been ordered to serve on errands to raise food and salary for the guest soldiers, Liu Zeqing is even more famous, give Yang Shida and Guan Er a hundred more courage, and they dare not confront these guest soldiers.

Master Mao heard that Guan Er was a little angry, so he smiled at the moment and said: "Second Brother Guan doesn't have to be angry, Caozhou Liu is now stationed in Huai'an, but what he wants most is Yangzhou, first take Huai'an as the foundation, and then map Yangzhou, if you want to get the territory, you must first have money and food." Our uncle controls many ways of private salt, Caozhou Liu also knows, a while ago he sent someone to bring the commission over, and appointed our uncle to be a guerrilla general, but the uncle has not yet agreed, which means that the official is too small, at least he has to give the name of a general. If this thing is done, the eldest master will be a general, and the second master will be at least a guerrilla, and the second brother Guan is afraid that he will be able to take over this promotion official position, and many brothers can change their bodies, from the general manager to the general manager, and then a commander and a commander, a thousand households, a deputy thousand households, and all of them have a character official background......"

After Liu Zeqing arrived in Huai'an, he first wanted to settle down, and then he wanted to have enough money and food to strengthen his troops. He has now sent many generals to be stationed in various places, in addition to Huai'an Shanyang Shuyang Suqian, there are also Anton Baoying Yancheng all over the city began to send troops to garrison, but Liu Zeqing at this time has no intention of staying in Huai'an Fucheng to settle down, what he wants more is Yangzhou, Yangzhou's status does not need to be said, Liu Zeqing's judgment at this time should be Li Zicheng will definitely be able to defeat the Beijing Division, but settle in the north, sort out the northern order, consolidate the nine sides, and then go down to Hebei, Shandong, Henan, this time will take at least one year.

He can run Yangzhou, sit back and watch the world change, and see how these civil officials in the south of the Ming Dynasty will respond.

If everyone surrenders, Liu Zeqing sits in Huai'an, tens of thousands of troops under his command, the bargaining chips for surrender are not small, at least in the new dynasty can be crowned a marquis, the Ming Dynasty has no generals since Jiajing, the new dynasty is built, it will wipe out the old dynasty nobles, and at the same time, it will also canonize its own nobles, Liu Zeqing must of course seize this best opportunity.

As for the whole army and the king of Qin, who swore to go north to work for the Ming Dynasty, Liu Zeqing would definitely not have this kind of thinking and consciousness, I am afraid that if the entire Huaiyang place goes to Nanjing, no one will believe that this Liu general soldier will have such noble sentiments.

Soldiers, horses, money and food, is the key point of Liu Zeqing's recent attention, Yang Shili and his group are very powerful in the local area, strong people and strong horses, control private salt, pull this person over, one has to stabilize the financial resources, the other is to expand the manpower of the ministry, one stone is more, it is a good deal for Liu Zeqing, with the current law of the imperial court is abolished, it is impossible to have any constraints on Liu Zeqing, and the deputy generals and generals under his command have dozens of guerrillas, which is simply impossible in the Apocalypse years, and it is no difficulty for Liu Zeqing to appoint a guerrilla or general, For Yang Shili, if he wants an official position as a general, from a smuggler of salt to a general of the Ming Dynasty, and he can keep his previous territory, as long as he provides Liu Zeqing with some money and grain benefits, he can use his official position to get these losses back, and it is also a profitable deal.

As soon as Master Mao said this, everyone present understood.

Guan Er's face lit up with joy, he stood up and crossed his hands and said to Yang Shida: "The eldest brother is about to become a big official, and the younger brother is here to congratulate the eldest brother first." ”

Yang Shida waved his hand and said with a smile: "This is my brother's deed, and it is also luck!" Without Li Chuang to fight in Beijing, Caozhou Liu would not have avoided coming to Huai'an, he would not come to Huai'an to plot great things here, and my brother would not have the opportunity to protect his official position. ”

Guan Er and many green skins laughed heartily, and even the somewhat reserved Master Mao also laughed.

Everyone laughed, and Master Mao said meaningfully: "Everyone is good to do, in order to estimate that the Ming Dynasty has ended, Li Chuang will eventually win the world, Caozhou Liu is not the kind of dead eye, will definitely become a new dynasty relatives, when the time comes, you will also become the hero of the founding of the new dynasty, and the wealth and wealth will continue for hundreds of years, which is really gratifying." ”

Although Guan Er doesn't look down on the reader, and he doesn't like the sourness on the Master Mao in front of him, but on the other hand, he is full of mysterious awe for the reader, and the inheritance of thousands of years is not so easy to be completely denied, Guan Er was surprised and delighted by Master Mao's judgment.

It seems that the Ming Dynasty is going to die in the country, which makes Guan Er and the others feel a little confused, and even a little faint pain. No matter how they feel about the emperor and how they dislike the Ming Dynasty, most of them were born in the Wanli period, experienced the Wanli, the Apocalypse, and the Chongzhen Three Dynasties, and grew up in the Ming Dynasty, this dynasty ran through the first half of their lives, including their parents and grandparents.

But this is just a vague feeling, but also a kind of habit and power, Yang Shida and Guan Er and others are more happy in their hearts, once the new dynasty is established, follow the powerful military leaders to join the new dynasty, and the rewards brought by them are so big that they don't need to think about it at all.

Yang Shida was a green-skinned scoundrel who wandered in various counties before, relying on slander and deception to make ends meet, Guan Er was a criminal who had been sentenced to exile, and most of the rest of the people were street scoundrels, and the clans couldn't control the green-skinned gangsters. These people are moths in the foundation of this huge building of the Ming Dynasty, oppressing the good, disturbing the place, and encountering the local magistrates who are strong and ruthless, these people will either be imprisoned and exiled, or they may be directly beheaded, will there be a royal historian to impeach the local officials for these scoundrels?

There is no lack of precedent in the history of the Ming Dynasty, there are local officials in Suzhou, who killed more than 100 people at a time, so as to suppress the local atmosphere, and the people of the time will only applaud, and no one will sympathize with the scum in these people.

Now, these people are going to change their bodies, put on official robes, black gauze hats, tie black horn belts, silver belts, and step on official boots, and become the great men who are respected and admired by the people.
