Chapter 245: Yangzhou Encounter
Wang Yijin said: "Mr. Wu, didn't you mention to them the name of our dead soldier camp? ”
Hu Li pouted and said: "The name of our dead soldier battalion is only loud in Saibei, how can anyone in Yangzhou thousands of miles away hear of it, even if it has been heard, the strong dragon will not suppress the head snake." ”
Zhang Xiaowu said: "You keep talking." ”
Wu Song nodded and said: "Although I am a native of Yangzhou, I am not a local snake, and the real local snake is actually the Salt Gang." There are more than 100,000 disciples of the Salt Gang, all over the entire coastal area, and they covet Guazhou Island, and we really have no way to resist it. It's just that this price is really not appropriate, we spent three months and nearly 10,000 taels of silver to build a river dam on Guazhou Island, to raise the terrain, and even built more than 30 houses, and reclaimed and burned 100 acres of fertile land, how could it be bought by someone for 2,000 taels of silver?
On behalf of everyone, I negotiated with the Salt Gang many times, and finally talked about 8,000 taels, and just when we were about to settle and negotiate for the last time, I learned that the Yangzhou Governor Yin sent people to surround Guazhou Island, and put Zhao Suo and others in prison, and sentenced them to be fugitives, ready to be beheaded after the autumn. Fortunately, Emperor Dade granted amnesty to the world, and Yangzhou Governor Yin sentenced them to exile and sent them to the Lingnan plague barrier.
I was negotiating with the Salt Gang, and when I heard the news, I immediately tried to save them, but I learned that I was also on a wanted warrant and had to hide everywhere. The Salt Gang, who had negotiated in the past, also turned around and participated in the pursuit of me, and the 93 members of my Wu family were imprisoned and sentenced to exile in Lingnan.
I managed to escape Yangzhou with the help of my childhood friend, but when the wanted notice was posted from Yangzhou to Hunzhou, I had to smear my face and pretend to be a beggar begging all the way. I contracted a serious illness in Daizhou, and I was rescued by the leader of the beggar gang, and I was escorted back by them. ”
Everyone was furious and indignant, especially a few generals who rolled up their sleeves and copied the guys, eager to kill Yangzhou now. But Saibei Mucheng to Yangzhou in the south is not thousands of miles, even if you set off immediately, it is already autumn to Yangzhou, Zhao Suo and others are afraid that they have already been sent to Lingnan.
After pondering, Zhang Xiaowu turned to find Hu Sanwan and instructed: "You go find a few trustworthy people, and immediately rush to Lingnan to find out where the exiled prisoners are assigned, and pay off the guards so that Zhao Suo and them don't have to serve hard labor." Regardless of the price, you must buy them free, remember, the problem that can be solved with money is not a problem. ”
Hu Sanwan nodded and said, "If you can't handle this matter, I'll see you here." ”
Seeing that everyone was indignant, Zhang Xiaowu calmed down, the incident on Guazhou Island in Yangzhou was indeed unexpected, he underestimated the evil of people's hearts, not only caught up with more than 30 men such as Zhao Suo, but also involved more than 70 members of the Wusong family, this revenge will be avenged sooner or later, but not now. As the so-called gentleman has a grudge for ten years, it is not too late for them to have a grudge, and now what they need to do is to strengthen themselves, not to find a shortness of breath.
"Wu joins the army, you recuperate for a few more days, let's think about it." Zhang Xiaowu said, "But your strength lies in the calculation of the marching array organs, and calculating people's hearts and fighting back against the dog officer is not what you are good at, and we will find someone to take revenge later." "Wu Song is knowledgeable, smart and calculating, but he has no experience as an official, and he is not good at the yin damage and viciousness in the officialdom.
"Thank you...... Army? What to join the army? Wu Song was pleasantly surprised, he was just a clerk before, and he was five levels away from joining the army, so he suddenly became a member of the army? Is it that easy? Self-styled?
Xiao Kai on the side smiled and said, "Mr. Wu, you don't know yet, the Lord has become the Lord of Mucheng and the garrison of Mucheng." If it is determined according to the grade of the imperial court, we should be the same general now, and you will naturally join the army. ”
Zhang Xiaowu added: "You should also join the army, you are suitable to command the army, this is your field of expertise." ”
Wu Song immediately got off the bed and said gratefully, "Thank you, ...... for your support."
Zhang Xiaowu laughed: "I said that day, let you taste what you have learned, and now I haven't broken my promise." Wu joined the army, don't think that you are very relaxed, the current status of Mucheng is complicated, and the problems faced are unprecedented, so you can rest well these days, in order to overdraft you next. Tomorrow, there must be no mistake in coming to the garrison to take up the responsibility of joining the army. ”
"Whoa." Woodsland Road.
Although the promotion had to be celebrated with drinking, Zhao Suo and others were in prison, which was obviously not suitable for celebration, and after Zhang Xiaowu and others visited, they left to act. Wu Song sat on the bed, happy on the one hand, and couldn't help sighing at the same time, he was indeed negligent, so that Zhao Suo and the others were framed.
The Yangzhou incident, in the early stage of Wu Song's calculations, but although he did not underestimate the greed of human nature, but underestimated the ugliness of human nature, never expected that in order to occupy the gold mine, Yangzhou Mansion Yin even sent troops to encircle and suppress, and burned their return order, and wronged them as deserters without evidence, even the old and young of the Wu family. People live for a breath, Wu Song used to revive the glory of the ancestors of the Wu family, and now in order to avenge the Wu family, he must eradicate the dog officials who are in collusion with the Salt Gang and Yangzhou Mansion.
A moment later, Hu Sanwan and Zu Gongmao came with wine and meat, and it turned out that the two of them were afraid of Wusong's loneliness, so they specially accompanied him to drink. Wu Song smiled and sat down with the two of them, and said, "Thank you two brothers." ”
"Adults will definitely protect your family." Hu Sanwan said, "The people I sent have already set off, and I believe that when they arrive in Lingnan, after making arrangements early, our people will suffer less." ”
Wu Songqi said: "Brother 30,000, what position are you in now, and where are the others?" ”
Zu Gongmao and Wu Song looked at each other, laughed, and Hu Sanwan introduced: "Mr. Wu doesn't know, let's follow the adults, take the wooden city like a carp jumping over the dragon gate, and manage the entire Saibei Wasteland from a small camp to a month. The adult has changed from the school of the dead soldier battalion to the garrison of Kijo, and I have also become a school captain, responsible for handling some information for the adults, and I will have to join the army in the future. ”
Zu Gongmao said with a smile: "I am the captain of the garrison battalion below." ”
Hu Sanwan then introduced the important events of Mucheng and even Saibei, especially the current situation of Saibei and Mucheng. The imperial court seems to have given up on Saibei, and there is no shortage of soldiers, grass, and food to rescue Jincheng, and only sent a verbal general, Su Yu, to lobby the interracial coalition army, who seems to care about Pao Ze on the surface, but in fact wants to kill people. Now the most important military fortress in the north of the city is Mucheng, the imperial court intends to take Mucheng as the front line, try to delay the dog Yi to Mucheng, once Mucheng is not guaranteed, and then retreat to the two wolf passes, so for Mucheng This kind of dangerous place, the imperial court has taken the initiative to manage, the current Mucheng, Zhang Xiaowu can be said to be a man of his word.
"In other words, we have become a small court independent of the Holy Han?" Wu Song's eyes popped out in shock.
