Chapter Twenty-Six: The Chaser

Although Li Shuban is only an official who does not even have an official body, Zhangjiawan is an extremely important place, whether it is to transfer troops or send generals to the front to transfer food and salaries or personnel transfers, it will pass through Zhangjiawan for the first time, so over the years, Li Shuban has provided Li Zicheng with a lot of vital information, and even recruited many frustrated officials and miscellaneous servants to prepare for the king to enter Beijing.

And Li Zicheng also attaches great importance to this intelligence channel, and sometimes the Ministry of War has just ordered that he has already known the specific arrangements of the imperial court in advance, so he sent a lot of gold, silver and jewelry to return the official wish, and even promised the position of a "royal brother".

After all, this is just a temporary false seal, and it is not too late to reward this group of poor relatives after the army enters Beijing, but Li Shuban feels that a glory and wealth are close at hand, and now he only hopes that the army of King Chuang will break through the Beijing division as soon as possible, and even specially sealed a large number of boats for the army of King Chuang to march south.

It's just that he didn't expect that when he was most proud, he suddenly ran out and called out to go to King Qin in Nanjing, not only ruining his own plans, but even possibly ruining the emperor's great cause.

And Lin Shuyi immediately asked: "Then should we go to the General Food Department to complain?" After all, he kidnapped Master Tong, we can add fuel and vinegar, and let the General Food Department quickly send a boat to catch up! ”

Although Li Shuban has not usually experienced a big situation, he has thought everything clearly at this moment: "Of course the General Grain Hall has to go to the General Grain Hall to complain, and not only to the General Grain Department to complain, but Shangshu Mansion also has to go, but it may not be of any use, it seems that Liu Yongxi is right, he is preparing to go to Nanjing to lead the army to the north to Qinwang, this thing must not be done!" ”

The "Shangshu Mansion" in his mouth is the office of the Governor of Cangba in Tongzhou, although most of the time the governor of Cangchang is only the head of the household department, but the first Governor of Cangchang has the title of Shangshu of the Ministry of War, so this office has always been called "Shangshu Mansion", since Li Shuban stabbed this matter to Shangshu Mansion, it is naturally ready to break the sky.

And Lin Shuyi already understood what Li Shuban meant: "What does Brother Li mean?" ”

Li Shuban has already made up his mind: "I personally ran to the Grain Department and Shangshu Mansion to file a complaint, and the household department is in more than 40 yamen in Tongzhou, whether it is cold or hot, I will have to run!" You help me go to the west, go to my imperial brother and General Tian Jianxiu and General Liu Zongmin, and tell the imperial brother that there is this major variable now, and let General Tian Jianxiu and General Liu Zongmin quickly send an elite horse team to catch up and completely wipe out these hateful thieves! ”

Lin Shuyi immediately agreed: "That's right, we little officials finally have such a glory and wealth, and we don't allow any variables!" ”

Different from the situation in which the sincerity of the Bofu responded to the call in Zhangjiawan, the expressions of the soldiers and civilians along the coast were extremely indifferent to the Ming army fleet and horse team heading south from the canal.

Although the banner of the Sincerity Bofu is still effective among the Cao soldiers and merchants on the canal, the political enemies of the Sincerity Bofu have used words to write Liu Kongzhao in disrepute over the years, not to mention that the soldiers and civilians along the road don't even pay much attention to the Ming Dynasty, let alone a small Sincerity Bofu.

After all, the Ming Dynasty has plagued them for three hundred years, and although this Grand Canal has brought convenience to business travel, there is also a serious problem of competing with the people for profit, and many grain-producing areas with a history of thousands of years have been forced to become barren because of the priority of ensuring the water supply of the canal.

Especially after changing the Chongzhen Emperor who was called "heavy conquest" by the gentry, in recent years, more and more salaries, training salaries, and expulsion salaries have been added, to the point that many gentry are unbearable, but so many salaries are useless, and the Jiannu and the thieves are getting more and more fierce, especially the Jiannu has broken through the customs several times as if entering a no-man's land, killing millions, and there is a situation of thousands of miles of red land everywhere, and even the city of Jinan has been broken by them, and now even many officials have lost due respect to the imperial court.

Therefore, there were some small problems in the supply of this fleet and horse team, which was originally a problem that Liu Yongxi needed to solve, but now he can only hand over this matter to Zhao Zhijie to be responsible: "Brother Zhao, I want to take Master Tong on a trip, and this matter will be entrusted to you for the time being!" ”

Zhao Zhijie inquired about it and soon knew what was going on: "I said what's going on, the thieves haven't arrived yet, how to stop the luck first, originally let these bandits make trouble, and now these people are even more dependent on the support of the bandits and thieves, and they don't put our sincerity in the eyes of Bofu at all, we can't get some horse fodder to raise, it seems that we want to let these people see what it means to be powerful!" ”

Tong Yili on the side was sent out several times to urge the grain and salary, and he did a good job, so he was able to get the position of the head of the prison warehouse, and when he heard Zhao Zhijie say this, he immediately became active: "Isn't it just some horse feed?" Just let me do this, and make sure that these people are obedient! ”

Liu Yongxi hurriedly shook his head and said: "Master Tong, this is a different thing from the past, in the past, no matter how much food and military money you wanted, the government would fully cooperate, but now the situation is different, even if the imperial court sends Qin to the government, it may not be regarded as the same thing, not to mention that it is just our sincere Bofu!" ”

Regarding Liu Yongxi's answer, Tong Yili was quite resentful: "If the group of loyal and righteous people in Tongzhou can follow south, let alone a group of Diao people, even hundreds of bandits can easily solve it, but there are only fifteen loyal and brave people around me now!" ”

Liu Yongxi heard the resentment in Tong Yili's mouth, and immediately laughed: "I will find a way to deal with these Diao people, but first trouble Master Tong to change his clothes and follow me to see Taikanghou!" This thing is more important than anything else! ”

Tong Yili was coerced into this thief ship, and he naturally experienced a lot of entanglement.

Before getting on the ship, he encountered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, not only did he have the opportunity to follow Liu Kongxi to the south to save his life, but with the support of Cao Jiang's sincerity, even if he did not have a great future in Nandu, he could at least be reinstated.

But after getting on the boat, he felt that he had fallen into a big trap, Liu Yongxi was obviously under the banner of leading the troops to the southern capital, but he got on the thief ship without even seeing the edict of King Qin, and after getting on the boat, Liu Yongxi did not mention the matter of the edict of King Qin, could it be that he was deceived by Liu Yongxi into the thief ship?

If this step is wrong, his more than ten years of hard work will be tantamount to abandoning his previous efforts, after all, he is not from a Jinshi, and it took a lot of effort to take down the position of the head of the household, not to mention, he also paid a few thousand taels of silver before and after, and still owes a lot of famine, so now he is naturally surprised and happy to hear that Taikanghou is in the fleet: "Little uncle, Taikanghou is on our boat?" ”
