When he was short of money, someone sent money, Wei Zhongxian's mood was a little better, so he indifferently ordered: "Then let him in, let's see him, I hope he is not a waste." ”

With Wei Zhongxian's approval, the porter ran out to summon people.

With Zhao Weiwei, who was as fat as a pig, the porter said lightly while walking: "I see that in your family, I said a lot of good things about you in front of Chitose, it seems that your errand can be accomplished, and when you are prosperous, don't forget my care for you." ”

Such explicit words are nothing here, and everyone pierced the window paper and said, but it saved everyone the effort of guessing.

Zhao Wei nodded resignedly: "I will not forget the kindness of my elder brother, I will prepare a generous gift to your mansion in the evening, and please don't dislike the rude gift." ”

Watching this guy who was older than himself call himself old brother, this porter didn't say anything, as long as he knew each other and offered himself an offering.

Seeing Wei Zhongxian, who was high above, Zhao Wei immediately knelt down behind the threshold and kowtowed, and called the nine thousand nine hundred years old Wan An again and again, his expression was more deferential than seeing the emperor, of course, the emperor was still doing carpenter work in the harem, and he couldn't see it if he wanted to.

Wei Zhongxian didn't let him get up, but asked lightly: "You invited yourself to Sichuan to be a salt tea envoy, do you know how salt tea works?" ”

Zhao Wei immediately replied respectfully: "The small family was originally born as a businessman, and the salt tea envoy is to sell the salt tea from Sichuan to other places, and then collect taxes from other merchants who traffic salt tea, this little one understands." ”

When Wei Zhongxian heard this, he almost choked to death with a sip of tea, looking at this guy who doesn't understand bullshit and obviously wants to monopolize Sichuan salt tea for his family, he is really angry. How can such a straw bale, such a greedy guy use?

But then he thought about it, the 300,000 taxes he paid in advance, thinking about Yuan Chonghuan's big mouth, and finally sighed helplessly, and didn't bother to say anything, just said lightly: "When will your 300,000 yuan be handed over?" ”

Zhao Wei was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately said uprightly: "The silver has been stored in the pavilion with his subordinates along the canal, and as long as Chitose needs it, it can be given immediately." ”

Wei Zhongxian still agreed with this guy's efficiency, so he waved his hand helplessly, and the subordinate immediately led Zhao Weiwei, who was hunched over, to the ministry to get the document and tell him.

"Neng Chen doesn't want to be used by me, so stupid people have to use it, hey-" Wei Zhongxian couldn't help but sigh.

At this time, a fan came in in a hurry, knelt down and kowtowed, and handed over a document with both hands: "Qiyu's great-grandfather (godson's godson's godson's) Suzhou has a document, it is about Gao Panlong, and the other is about Suzhou Xiucai Mao Yulong, please great-grandfather to look at it." ”

Wei Zhongxian frowned, Gao Panlong and his Donglin Party had become his mortal enemies, and he had already begun to prepare to attack them. At this time, there is news of Gao Panlong, but I want to see, as for what kind of little talent Mao Yulong, who is it? It seems that I have heard of it, oh, yes, earlier, when the Hangzhou mutiny, I had organized volunteers to participate in the rebellion, and at that time, the Zhejiang town guard also specially invited him to come over, because Zhejiang had no benefit, and he didn't want to promote a scholar to the position, so he sent a deputy Qianzong, but the kid didn't know how to lift, and he actually pushed it, which is really hateful.

took the document handed over by the next person, but saw a red note deliberately pasted on a document, which was the identification mark inside the East Factory, which meant that Wei Zhongxian must be asked to read it in person.

So Wei Zhongxian first handed this to a master behind him, Wei Zhongxian was illiterate, so the documents and the like had to be handed over to the master to read to him.

The master took it, opened it, respectfully saluted Wei Zhongxian's back, and then began to read the document.

This document first reported how Gao Panlong met this rising star in Hangzhou, and then it was a complete record of Mao Yulong and Song Yuanshan Xu Jie's answers in the private room, without any deletions, and it was even word-for-word. The more Wei Zhongxian listened, the more surprised he became, the more sad he became, and finally he couldn't help but have a slight red circle in his eyes, and he was relieved that a little show could understand his hard work, which was different from the unrealistic singing praises he heard every day.

According to the rules, this master handed over the document to another master and read it to Wei Zhongxian again, which was also Wei Zhongxian's way to prevent this master from deceiving himself. And although Wei Zhongxian is illiterate, his memory is very good, and he almost doesn't forget what he hears.

When the second master finished reading it again, Wei Zhongxian made an exception to ask for this document in his hand, although he didn't know the words, but he still watched it carefully, and finally his eyes were red and he sighed: "I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, this little hairy boy gave our family a nickname, hahaha, pastemaker, pastemaker." The more he spoke, the quieter his voice became, and in the end it was almost inaudible, and after a long silence, he said: "It's rare that our family has a confidant in the countryside, and with this one who understands, our family will not be wronged for what they have done." ”

Then he glanced at Cui Chengxiu, who was sitting down: "The 300,000 silver that the bastard Zhao only paid just now, 100,000 yuan will stay in my mansion, and 100,000 yuan will be allocated to Yuan Chonghuan, and tell him that if he takes the 100,000 silver, he still hasn't made any achievements, even if he builds a shrine for me, I will let him go home." As for the remaining 100,000 silver-" glanced at the document in his hand: "I don't know that Mao Wenlong is so poor, I don't have to go through the hands of the governor of Denglai, just give it to him, and let him not set up any shrine for me, spending that unnecessary money." With this money, the good ones will raise their soldiers, raise the more than 200,000 loyal people of the Ming Dynasty, and kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, just say that our family is waiting for his good news. ”

Choi Sung-so resignedly said that he would arrange it later.

Wei Zhongxian said to a ministry official again: "Pay attention to this Mao Yulong, if he can be selected in the imperial examination in the next year, you might as well promote him exceptionally." ”

Mao Wenlong's Phi Island was under the jurisdiction of the governor of Da Ming Pinglai.

Denglai Governor, that is after the Shanxi Governor, the second largest governor in the world, set up the original intention, is to prevent the Japanese from harassing the northern coast, and then the Japanese troubles go, then began to prevent the rise of the north of the Houjin coastal road raid on Gyeonggi, several abolished after several shrinkage and expansion, now the jurisdiction of the area is very vast, tomorrow Qi first year to set up, the full name of the "Governor Denglai local Zanli military affairs" or Shandong coastal defense governor, the number of the defense of the military gate, sometimes referred to as the "military gate", the rank is? Zheng Sipin, the general army of Dengzhou Town at that time was controlled by the governor of Denglai, which can be said to be on the horse to manage the army, and the horse to manage the people, the grade is not big but the real power is not small.

The most successful was the second Yuan Keli, when many parts of the Liaodong Peninsula were occupied by the Later Jin. In June of the second year of the Apocalypse, after Yuan Keli succeeded Tao Lang as the governor of Denglai, he ordered Mao Wenlong, the chief soldier of Dongjiang Town, to send troops to attack Houjin, and take Jinzhou, Fuzhou, Yongning, and Lushun.

Subsequently, under the strategy of Yuan Keli, he took advantage of the victory to recover the fortress Lushun at the southern tip of the Liaodong Peninsula, as well as Wanghai Fort and Hongzui Fort.

The recovery of Jinzhou and Lushun opened up a new situation in the Liaodong battlefield. The military threat to the Shandong Peninsula in Lushun, the occupied area of the Later Jin Dynasty was lifted, the 2,000-mile sea frontier of the Ming Dynasty was consolidated, and the naval blockade of the Later Jin Dynasty was completed, which aggravated the tension of grain and other strategic materials in the occupied area of the Later Jin Dynasty.

In this way, Houjin is embarrassed, and Mao Wenlong is important.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, Yuan Keli went to the official, took over as the governor Li Song, this life in Shanxi, after taking office, infinitely played the characteristics of his Shanxi old pick, for all the money and food, that is in is happy, out is musk.

And Mao Yulong, because of his high merits and arrogance, is extremely incompatible with Denglai and the Shandong civil official group, so the matter is big.

Originally, when Yuan Keli was the governor of Denglai, Phi Dao could still receive the money, food, and military salaries allocated by Shandong on time, but when Li Song took office, the first thing he thought was that Mao Yulong had falsely reported the number of soldiers. In his mind, how can a small Phi Island, a place with a big fart, have 250,000 people and 40,000 soldiers? Eating empty amounts, absolutely eating empty amounts, what he hates most in his life is eating empty amounts.

So, he ordered his men to go to Phi Dao to count the number of soldiers.

Originally, the inventory of the military camp personnel in various places was hated by all the generals who led the troops, and the grade of the governor of Kicklai was four grades, and the inventory officials he sent were only five grades, and at this time, Mao Yulong's official position was the chief military officer of Pingliao, the first year, that is, the third year of the Apocalypse, and was worshiped by the governor of Zuo, which can be described as a high authority, it is when the spring breeze is proud, he hates Wenchen the most, of course, he treats this five-grade petty official with squint eyes, and reprimands him from time to time.

The Ming Dynasty emphasizes literature and light martial arts, everyone knows it, a first-class military general sees the subordinate civil officials, they have to greet each other with a smile, and when they see the same civil officials, they have to kneel down and kowtow, and the civil servants kill the generals, which is just the existence of killing a dog.

However, the unruly Mao Wenlong, in the face of the subordinates of the five-rank civil servants sent by the governor of Denglai, not only did not have the kind of groveling of the military generals to the civil ministers, but instead expressed his unruliness and superiority, which in itself violated the taboo of the literati. And the most terrible thing is that this civilian official still directly grasps his lifeline and tests the number of his soldiers, so the result can be imagined.

250,000 people are not all soldiers, of course, when Mao Wenlong reported to the imperial court, the number of soldiers was counted, which seems to be a bit excessive, but in fact, in Phi Island, it is indeed all soldiers.

When you go out on the expedition, you can select some elites, do some sneak attacks and guerrillas, fight if you win, run if you can't win, as long as you have the opportunity, you can get a handful, and if you don't have a chance, forget it.

However, for Hou Jin, Phi Dao, a thorn in his eye, has always been pulling his hind legs, making him unable to deal with the Ming army in Liaoxi with all his strength, so once he is free, he will crusade against Phi Dao.

In the face of the Houjin army that came to crusade violently, the more than 200,000 people on Phi Island really achieved that all the people were soldiers, and there was no way out, because this is the only foundation for everyone, and if they lose it, there will be no way out.
