Chapter 122: The Disparity Between the Rich and the Poor

When Nadu Wei arrogantly argued with Xu En, Wu Song stepped over and cut him down with a single sword. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Before the crossing, Wu Song was just a small urban clerk. But I have also seen from film and television dramas that in the past, in order to rectify the army, people often did not hesitate to make decisions and kill people at critical moments.

I still remember reading the story of Sun Tzu's Art of War, in the past, in order to achieve the ban, Sun Tzu did not hesitate to kill King Wu's concubine on the spot.

Now, he's just learning from it.

It seemed too cruel to do so, but Wu Song didn't have time to think more. He was only very aware that if these officers disobeyed Xu En's orders and did not obey Xu En's command, then the plan he had agreed with Xu En would not be realized.

Zhang Dahu, who dominates Qinghe and oppresses the people, will win a comprehensive victory, not only the fate of Xu En, Wu Song, but even Pan Jinlian, brother Wu Dalang and others may encounter twists and turns, and more Qinghe people will continue to be oppressed.

Killing someone, Wu Song's heart was very nervous, and it could even be said that he was afraid.

But even more fearful than him were the rest of the officers. They never imagined that this new head of the yamen would be so "brutal".

Wu Song could see the fear in the eyes of these people. Thus, he struggled to control his emotions and still appear majestic on the outside, in order to calm the officers.

No officer dared to chirp crookedly. As soon as Xu En gave the order, they immediately gathered all the Turkish troops urgently, fully armed, and followed Xu En and Wu Song to rush out of Qinghe County.

Wu Song and Xu En took this local army of several hundred people and went straight to Zhangjiabao.

Zhang Dahu suddenly instigated and coerced tens of thousands of villagers to besiege the yamen, and Wu Song and Xu En managed to get out of the besieged yamen and led the army to smash Zhang Dahu's lair in turn.

This strategy of encircling Wei to save Zhao is the plan he and Xu En.

The Minister of the Imperial Mission is coming. There is no other way to make tens of thousands of villagers retreat quickly, and the crux is Zhang Dahu. Only by subduing Zhang Dahu can these tens of thousands of villagers disperse as soon as possible, restore the normal order of Qinghe County, and let the minister of Qincha enter the city smoothly.

The team left Qinghe County. On the way, I passed through several villages, but I saw broken walls, depression and dilapidation. The village was empty, and it seemed that the villagers had already entered the city to besiege the yamen.

Xu En was riding on a horse, and when he saw this situation, he couldn't help gritting his teeth with hatred, and said to Wu Song: "These are really Diao people. Every time the official passed by these villages in the past, he felt that the villagers were bullied and exploited by local tyrants and shoddy gentry such as Zhang Dahu, and their lives were poor and difficult, which was also the reason why the official was determined to speed up the implementation of the law reform in Qinghe County. Who would have thought that these Diao people would actually collude with Zhang Dahu and dare to besiege the yamen! When this incident subsides, this official will severely punish these people one by one! ”

Wu Song rode a horse parallel to Xu En, and when he heard the words, he hurriedly said, "Adults can't think like this. According to Wu Song, these villagers may not all want to go to the besieging the county government, maybe they are just going to see the excitement, even those villagers who participated in the siege of the county government are just bewitched and coerced by Zhang Dahu, and they may not be bad in nature. This time, the account can only be counted on the head of Zhang Dahu's house, and the first evil must be investigated, but there is no need to be angry with these villagers, otherwise it will be a loss of the adult's diligent government and love for the people! ”

Xu En nodded and said, "That's what you said." Wu Song, this time it's really thanks to you! ”

Wu Song said: "Thank you, my lord, for the award." The adults not only have the grace of knowing Wu Song, but also are diligent and dedicated to the people, which can be called a rare good official in this era. Wu Song's service for adults was originally a matter of duty! ”

At this time, Xu Ende got out of the siege, took control of the army again, regained confidence, and said to Wu Song: "I didn't expect you to be so resolute, and you are quite talented in enforcing military law and commanding the army." After this incident subsides, the official plans to ask his superiors to simply let you take over the post of county comfort, how about it? ”

The county is listed as the four main officials in the county, along with the magistrate, the county magistrate, and the chief book. In the words of later generations, this is the real "county leader". If Wu Song is transferred from the head of the capital to the county consolation, it is equivalent to being promoted again.

Although this has not yet been realized, it does reflect Xu En's reliance and trust in Wu Song.

As far as Wu Song himself is concerned, if he can become a county consolation as soon as possible in the future and become one of the main leaders of the county, of course, he will be more able to rescue Pan Jinlian and protect his brother.

Wu Song thanked Xu En and said, "My lord, if Wu Song can serve as the county comforter, he will definitely continue to do his best to support the reform of the law and obey the instructions of the adults!" ”

Xu En was overjoyed and said, "Let's just say it!" ”

The two said, Zhangjiabao was still in sight.

Wu Song has only crossed over for a short time, and he has not been busy since he came to Qinghe County, and he has never entered Zhangjiabao. That night, he talked with Xu Enye and once looked at Zhangjiabao from a distance on the upper floor of the Zhixian Mansion, and was shocked by the size of Zhangjiabao at that time.

At this time, Zhangjiabao appeared in front of his eyes in broad daylight, which made him wonder again: this castle is really huge, where it looks like a private manor, it is simply the second Qinghe county!

When you think about it, it's not surprising. I vaguely remember that in the "Water Margin" I read in my previous life, it was originally written that the big tyrants at that time often owned a very large manor like a castle. For example, Chai Jin, where Wu Song later went to defect, owned a huge castle-like manor.

Zhangjiabao is also a castle-like manor, with deep ditches and high bases, which looks very majestic and impregnable.

This is in stark contrast to the dilapidated villages you see on the way. The poor have no tiles on the top and no place to insert needles below, but Zhang Dahu is like the emperor of the soil here, and the castle where he lives is simply the palace of the emperor of the soil!

Wu Song thought to himself: No wonder! The land annexation in the Northern Song Dynasty was already so serious, and the gap between the rich and the poor was already so wide, how could there not be deep social contradictions? How can you blame the heroes of Liangshan written in the book of the previous life for robbing their homes and houses and going to Liangshan instead?

He and Xu En led hundreds of Turkish troops and approached the gate of Zhangjiabao. The minions guarding the gate on the wall of Zhangjiabao saw it from afar, and immediately closed the gate of the fort, and hoisted the drawbridge in front of the gate, and at the same time shouted and asked: "Who are you?" Dare to go to the gate of Zhangjiabao to show off your might, are you impatient? ”

Xu En waved his hand. One of his officers stepped forward and shouted to the servant guards on the wall of Zhangjiabao: "We are the Tujun of Qinghe County, led by Lord Xu of Zhixian County, and we have come to Zhangjiabao to see Zhang Dahu!" Open the door! ”

However, the Zhang family's slave guards were unmoved, and said loudly: "How can Zhangjiabao enter just as anyone says it!" Even if Xu Zhixian came and wanted to see the lord of our big family, we had to go and report it first, and ask the lord of the big family to agree. As for your army, not a single one is allowed to enter! ”
