Chapter 638: Troop Transfer
Li Xun glanced at Zheng Jing: "You are very clear about the affairs of Ganzhou!" ”
Zheng Jing is dressed in tatters, and he has no ambitions, but such a person is very clear about the affairs of the four counties of Ganzhou, which has to arouse a trace of suspicion from Li Xun.
Zheng Jing coughed dryly, and said with some embarrassment: "Although the people of Dashi and the Western Regions are quite wary and alienated from the Han people, they are simple by nature, especially hospitable, in their teachings, to support and care for the old, weak and hungry people, after I entered the western part of Longyou, I have been penniless, I heard others say this, I went to give it a try, I didn't expect it to be so, as long as I find a foreigner, show that they are helpless to starve, they generally will not refuse, will be kind to give food and accommodation, I use this method, It's been almost two months since I've been going back and forth in Ganzhou, and I just returned to Xiayuan County yesterday. ”
Chen De glanced at Zheng Jing with some disdain: "Since you have no money, just stay at home honestly, even if you have no land to plant, find a job as a coolie, you can fill your stomach to some extent, it's better than begging for food everywhere like this." ”
Zheng Jing sighed: "My father has always wanted to travel all over the world, but unfortunately he has been weak and sick since he was a child, and he has not even walked out of this county until he died, this is the regret of my father's life, I was born as a son of man, even if I am a bastard, I still want to fulfill this wish for him." ”
Chen De glanced at Zheng Jing and his impression of him changed.
Subsequently, Li Xun was not talking, drinking silently, thinking about the problem, everyone saw this, and they were not talking, and they were eating.
Zheng Jing was full of food and wine, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, glanced at Li Xun, and was about to say goodbye and leave.
At this time, more than a dozen angry men rushed in, these people were all holding sticks in their hands, led by a strong man, but with a big knife, his fierce eyes swept around, the restaurant owner saw this group of people, his face suddenly changed, and he hurriedly ran over, and said in a low voice: "Uncle Liu, you are here, please take a seat." ”
The strong man with the knife said viciously: "Don't talk nonsense with me, have you made enough money?" ”
The owner of the restaurant said bitterly: "Three thousand taels is too much, please forgive it for a few more days." ”
"Are you playing with me?"
The strong man with a knife hit the restaurant owner in the face, and in the scream, the restaurant owner covered his face and rolled on the ground in pain.
Then, the strong man with the knife brandished a big knife and shouted, "Brothers, smash this restaurant for me." ”
A group of people began to smash the restaurant and began to disperse the diners, if it was a Han Chinese, it would be good to say, if there were foreigners with obvious characteristics, they would go up and do it directly, and the means were extremely cruel.
Li Xun and the others were sitting at the innermost tables, it was not their turn yet, but it was almost there, and several wicked people were walking towards them with great momentum.
"Dashuai, these people don't know the severity of their attacks, and they are obviously not afraid of killing people."
Chen De whispered to Li Xun.
"Hurry up and get out, or the master will kill you."
Several men with sticks had approached and pointed at them and shouted at them.
"Leave me the leader."
Li Xun glanced at the group coldly, gave an order, and then picked up the wine glass and continued to drink.
Jiang Daxiong laughed, and was the first to stand up and rush towards the group.
Without any suspense, Jiang Daxiong rampaged, strode to the strong man with the knife, and in the midst of the consternation on his face, a hand knife hit the strong man's right shoulder, screaming in pain, his arm was dislocated, and the big knife fell to the ground, and then, Jiang Daxiong grabbed this person and returned to Li Xun.
That is, in a moment's effort, the remaining dozen or so people were also solved by Chen De and others, and they were not easy to start, most of the villains fell to the ground and howled in pain, unable to get up.
"Who are you who dare to go against the government, do you want to rebel?
The strong man shouted.
"Are you from the government?"
"Of course, we are all official officials of the government, and those who know me will let me go immediately, otherwise you will definitely die a bad death."
It's really a person from the government, Li Xun was stunned, and he couldn't believe it, these people are all thieves, they are angry, they are not a good thing at first glance, and the government will levy such people to do things?
Xia Yuan had some understanding of this and explained softly on the side.
Zhou Xiansen, the county commander of Xiayuan County, has obviously fallen to Zhao Tong, ready to severely bully the foreigners, in this way, the foreigners are likely to make trouble, once the trouble occurs, the government will naturally send people to suppress it, the government is so manpower, how can it be coped, generally in this case, will ask the local garrison for help, but the Ganzhou defense envoy Niu Jin is Li Xun's person, and now Zhao Tong and Li Xun's order policy are completely different, and the government seeks their help, which is simply impossible to do.
Therefore, several county orders in Ganzhou who are willing to obey Zhao Tong's orders have been vigorously expanding the number of county officials to catch fast, such as Zhou Xiansen, the county commander of Xiayuan County, who has recruited more than 300 rangers in the county in the past month.
Li Xun rolled his eyes, and scolded: "These people have read so many books, they are really more than successful, what can they expect this group of black sheep to do?" ”
The strong man was still shouting, and insulting Li Xun, where was Jiang Daxiong polite to him, and he was directly shut up.
Li Xun's movement here obviously alarmed the other officials outside, and a personal soldier rushed in and said in a low voice: "Dashuai, someone heard the sound in the store and tried to break in, and I cleaned it up, but it also attracted the attention of their accomplices, and hundreds of people are gathering here for us." ”
Chen De said in a deep voice: "Dashuai, this place should not be here for a long time, it is better to leave first." ”
Li Xun sneered: "Why should I go? ”
After that, he asked Xia Yuan: "The defense of Ganzhou made Niu Jin lead the army to the Western Regions, did he leave some soldiers to garrison?" ”
Li Xun went to the Western Regions and exhausted all the troops of the seven western states of Longyou, but not all of them were drawn, after all, the Longyou War had just ended, and the people's hearts were unstable and had to be guarded, so Li Xun asked the governors of each state to leave at least 500 people to garrison the local area.
Sure enough, Xia Yuan nodded and said, "Leave five hundred people, and the military camp is three miles outside the city." ”
Li Xun took out his talisman from his arms, handed it to a personal soldier, and said in a cold voice: "Take my talisman and go outside the city to transfer troops, let them immediately enter the city to clear the law and order in the city, and all those who claim to be arrested by the government will be arrested by me, and if you dare to resist, tell them that you can kill people." ”
Li Xun originally didn't want to turn his face with Zhao Tong so quickly, but the current situation seems that no matter what Zhao Tong means, but the states and counties below are getting more and more intense, if he sits idly by, a riot may not be far from him.
