There are many "hills" in the green battalion of Liangjiang, which can be roughly summarized as "three governors, one patrol, and two towns".

The three governors refer to the governors, cao standards and river standards of the governors of the two rivers, the governors of Caoyun and the governors of the rivers in the south of the Yangtze River; One refers to the promotion of the Jiangnan water and land admiral; The first tour is the standard of the governor of Jiangsu; The second town is the town mark of the general army of Susong Town and Langshan Town, with a total of 91 battalions and more than 55,000 people.

Many people who have never been to Liangjiang, especially Yangzhou, do not know that the Lianghuai Salt Transportation Division not only has a salt fishing camp, but even the Sanjiang Camp under the jurisdiction of Langshan Town was also the Yamen of the Yunsi earlier.

Han Xiufeng secretly thought that although the surnamed Feng was greedy for life and afraid of death and escaped, he was really unjust enough to fall into the field to be investigated. Because although he is the fourth grade of the capital, his salt fishing camp is not used to suppress bandits and settle sentences, but is dedicated to investigating and seizing smuggled salt. And there are only more than 200 people in total, including him, how can he fight the bandits?

Just when he was thinking about how the surname Feng would be released, Guo Peilin walked into the wing room quickly, and said with a smile when he saw him, "Zhixing, it should be okay to see your complexion, but I'm still worried about you." ”

"Xiufeng has seen Lord Guo, Xiufeng ......"

"Don't don't, don't move! If you have a wound on your leg, you should still sit, and now you are a hero, and even the saints know about you. The battle of Wanfuqiao was fought so well that even my face was bright. ”

"Master Guo, don't praise again, you will really blush if you praise Xiufeng again." Han Xiufeng said with a bitter face.

Guo Peilin sat in front of him, looked at him with a smile and asked, "Why are you blushing?" ”

Han Xiufeng said with an embarrassed face, "Others don't know, Lord Guo, you must know, the bandits are retreating, but it is not Xiufeng who ran away, but was frightened by the army of the imperial court." If it weren't for the reinforcements led by Lord Qi to arrive outside Yangzhou City in time, Xiufeng would not have been able to see you alive, but he would not dare to be greedy for heaven. ”

"That's not what Zhang Zhigao said."

"He's him, I'm me."

"He's him, I'm me." Guo Peilin nodded with satisfaction, patted his thigh and sighed, "Zhixing, Zhixing, I always thought that people would change when they become officials, but I didn't expect you to change, you are still the Han Zhixing I recognize." ”

"Master Guo, I am who I am, how can I change!" Han Xiufeng was confused.

"Don't talk about that, get down to business." There are still a large number of people waiting to be summoned outside, although the Yunsi Yamen is actually to be rebuilt, Guo Peilin's new official is so busy that he doesn't have so much time to catch up with Han Xiufeng, and asks straight to the point, "Zhixing, I heard that you want to sue for illness and want to go back to your hometown?" ”

"Well, the luggage is all packed, and I brought it all, and it's on the boat at the dock outside the city, but there's been no news from above. I asked someone to inquire, and they said that the new feudal lord did not dare to take care of it, and Lord Qincha did not want to take care of me. Lord Guo, I can only beg you in Jiangsu, can you help, help me ask. ”

"I was scared by the bandits, I didn't dare to stay here for a long time, and I didn't even want to be an official?" Guo Peilin stared at him and asked.

Han Xiufeng didn't dare to play tricks with the man in front of him, and said with a bitter face, "Master Guo, my baby has never seen me since he was born, and I don't want him to be without a father." Besides, I've been hurt like this, and I'm worthy of the court and the people of Taizhou. ”

If Han Xiufeng found another excuse, Guo Peilin would not hesitate to refuse, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he told the truth, which made Guo Peilin difficult to refuse, and he was silent for a moment and got up and said, "Zhixing, if you insist on Zhishi, not only can I not stop it, but I have to help, but I just hurt my muscles and bones for a hundred days, even if I want to go back to my hometown, I don't need to be in such a hurry." In my opinion, it is better to rest for a while and wait for the leg injury to heal. ”

Wait for the leg injury to heal, instead of waiting for the leg injury to heal before leaving, Han Xiufeng heard that Guo Peilin was a little insincere, and hurriedly said, "Lord Guo, I can recuperate while walking, I can take a boat, a car or even a sedan chair!" ”

"Since you can take a boat, a car or even a sedan chair, why don't you go?"

"Don't dare, isn't this waiting for the news from above."

"You still know that you have to wait for news, so this is something that can't be rushed, don't think nonsense, listen to me, stay in Taizhou first, and wait until the injury is healed."

"But ......"

Guo Peilin's new official took office, and he was worried that no one under him was available, how could he just let Han Xiufeng, who not only knew the roots but was also diligent and capable, return to his hometown, looked at him with a smile and said, "Zhixing, don't be." I know you're an idle person, so let's help me recruit and rebuild the salt fishing camp while recuperating from your injuries, and then go back when the salt fishing camp is rebuilt and reorganized. ”

Han Xiufeng didn't dare to fall for this, and blurted out, "Lord Guo, I'm a civil official!" ”

"What's wrong with the civil official, you civil official doesn't seem to be doing a lot of military attaché things, isn't the Xiang Yong training very good, isn't the battle of Wanfuqiao quite beautiful?"

"It was forced, it was no way. Besides, I am the same as Taizhou Prefecture, and I am not the salt official of the Yunsi Yamen. Lord Guo, I don't dare to delay your big event, you better ask for another master. ”

"Please also be smart, who do you want me to invite? I know you here, and I believe you! Guo Peilin's face was straight, and he continued, "As for you are not an official of my Yunsi Yamen, this is easy to do, and I will prepare an official letter to send it to the Yangzhou prefect later, and ask him to give you a commission." ”

"What's the difference?"

"I asked you to come to Yun Si to listen to the errand."

The more Han Xiufeng listened, the more wrong he became, and he said with a sad face, "Master Guo, I don't want to be an errand, I really don't want to be an official, I just want to go home!" Please help me for Lord Duan's sake, and let me go back to my hometown sooner. ”

Guo Peilin realized that if he spoke softly, he would kick his nose in the face, and said in a fierce voice: "The enemy is at present, the national crisis is at the head, if everyone wants to resign, everyone wants to go back to their hometown, who will kill the bandits?" What's more, if you Han Zhixing can hide for a while, can you hide for a lifetime? If you don't exterminate the bandits in Jiangsu, and wait for them to kill Huguang and Sichuan, don't say that you can't hide, and even your family will suffer! ”

"Master Guo, I understand this truth, but I have my own troubles......

"How bitter are you, no matter how bitter you are, can you have Xu Ying's bitterness?" Guo Peilin glared at him fiercely, and said hatefully, "You and Zhang Zhigao really think that others don't know about those things, Xu Ying is loyal to the country, and he put the whole family on the line to defend Taizhou, but all the preparations he made with all his heart and soul have cheapened you, and he himself has fallen into the infamy of being greedy for life and afraid of death." If it weren't for Lord Qi and Lord Lei, they would even be investigated by the imperial court! ”

"Lord Guo, wronged, what do you want me to do with Zhang Zhigao, it's too late for me to know Xu Tongzhi from Liupinzhou in name only, and I don't dare to frame him if I have a few guts. This is clearly a fight between the gods and a mischief. ”

"You're not a ghost, you're a ghost!" As she spoke, Xu Ying couldn't help laughing.

Han Xiufeng didn't think that Guo Peilin would really blame himself for Old Ghost Xu, so he couldn't help but ask, "Lord Guo, Zhang Zhigao did something wrong, but there was a reason for it." What did Lord Qi and Master Lei say, would they be held accountable for this? ”

"No matter how Taizhou holds it, as long as it is held, it will be a great credit. He Zhang Zhigao will not be prosecuted, but don't expect the court to reward him. Guo Peilin smiled, and then said, "You are different from him, and your reward is indispensable." ”

"I don't want any rewards, I just want to go back to my hometown."

"You kid is endless, don't be ignorant!" Guo Peilin's face changed again, and he said in an unquestionable tone, "Those words just now are nothing to tell me, if they reach the ears of people with ill intentions." Rest here first, and then set up a feast for you to celebrate, and remember, don't be open-mouthed. ”

"Don't worry, Lord Guo, I only dare to say those words to you." Seeing Guo Peilin turn around to leave, Han Xiufeng hurriedly stood up on crutches, "Lord Guo, there is one more thing." ”

"What's the matter?"

Han Xiufeng took out a stack of silver tickets from his sleeve, "You have just arrived, it is the time when you are most short of money, this thousand taels is my heart, and these two thousand taels are the ambassador of the Salt Division of the Jiao Xiechang Field Han Chen, who respects you." ”

Yunsi Yamen was occupied by bandits, and even if the tax money of the Yamen was not swept away by Liu Liangju, it also entered the "holy treasury" of the bandits, Guo Peilin wanted nothing when he first arrived, but there were a lot of expenses, and it was the time when he was most short of silver, and he was not polite to Han Xiufeng, so he took the silver ticket and asked, "Do you recognize Han Chen?" ”

"He's a fellow countryman with me."

"How's it going?"

"It can be credible and usable, but I heard that the bandits invaded Yangzhou, and I was worried about the safety of the Yunsi Yamen, so I didn't have time to go to Dongtai to report to Sun Yuntong and recruited Xiang Yong without authorization.

"Sun Jiagan is not happy, and Yangzhou is not happy to fall to the saint!" Guo Peilin snorted coldly, thought about it and said, "You can defend Wanfu Bridge, he Han Chen is indispensable, you let him not worry, there is an official in Sun Jiagan, he doesn't dare to embarrass him." ”

"Master Guo, I thank you in advance on his behalf."

"Don't thank you, recuperate here, I'll get busy first."

……

Guo Peilin had just walked not long ago, and Zhang Yiguo ran in.

Han Xiufeng looked behind him and subconsciously asked, "Brother Zhang, why did you come to Taizhou?" ”

"I'm Governor Yan, Lord Guo moved to Taizhou, can I not come?" Zhang Yiguo was afraid that people outside would find out that Han Xiufeng's injuries were faked, so he quickly closed the door.

"What about the brethren in the camp?"

"Master Han, I'm sorry for you, I'm ...... I ......"

"What the hell is going on?" Han Xiufeng asked eagerly.

As soon as he mentioned this, Zhang Yiguo was depressed, and he gritted his teeth angrily and said, "Master Han, on the third day after you left, the new Futai rushed to Wanfuqiao, saying that Master Lei couldn't be listened to by no one, and his subordinates couldn't be sent by no one, so he snatched away a battalion of Xiangyong. I originally wanted to stop it, but people said that Chen Hu, Chen Biao and Jiang Huai were all Taiyong, and they were not soldiers from the salt fishing camp, what do you think I can do. ”

Taiyong camp is under the management of Zhang Zhigao, the governor of Taizhou, Zhang Zhigao wants to listen to the prefect, and when he thinks about it, the new prefect Fu Zhulang is really robbing people. Han Xiufeng didn't know what to say, Zhang Yiguo said with a bitter face, "Master Han, a battalion of Xiangyong was robbed, and Lord Guo is not happy, let me redeem my merits and come to you to listen to it." ”

"What are you listening to here?" Han Xiufeng asked with a smile.

"Recruit young people to rebuild the salt fishing camp! Mr. Guo said that the food and salary are paid by the Taizhou Branch and the Tongzhou Branch, and we don't have to worry about the food and salary anymore. Moreover, the previous capital division, Qian Zong, the general manager, the external committee and the additional external committee are not used, let us find a suitable candidate, and Mr. Guo will have a discount. ”

"Let me, the governor of the sixth grade, and you, the salt governor of the eighth grade, look for the capital of the fourth grade?"

"Master Han, Zheng Sipin is also a military attaché, can a military attache compare with our civil officials? Besides, the salt fishing camp of our Yunsi Yamen is different from those green camps of the town mark and the river mark, not to mention that those general soldiers and admirals can't control it, and even the feudal platform and Futai have no right to intervene, only the Liangjiang governor who is also the salt government of the two Huai can manage it. ”
