"You've really figured it out?" Lin Zhaolong asked, "If you think about it, you will enter the city." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"I've figured it out." Xu Lang said, "Now that Shaanxi is in such chaos, we must find a place to stay." Counting the refugees, our food can last for a month, find someone to report to Lu Xiangsheng, and send a letter to Wang Qianxiang to ask him to think of a way. ”

"Old Gu, what is your opinion?"

"I have no opinion, since you have decided, then let's go into the city."

2,000 troops and 3,000 refugees came to the city of Yanchang early the next morning. The four gates of the county town were closed, and the sergeants at the head of the city looked nervously at these people below, and no one knew where this unit wearing strange military uniforms came from.

"The people of the city." Xu Lang was dressed in the uniform of a guerrilla general from Sanpin, standing under the city and tearing his voice open, "We are the army of Hainan Wei, and we have been ordered by the Ministry of War to come to change the guard, please ask your magistrate to come out and answer." ”

After a long time, a head poked out from the city wall: "This official is Lin Yingrui, the magistrate of Yanchang County, who are you?" ”

"Lord Lin." Xu Lang replied under the city, "This official is a guerrilla general of Hainan Wei, and he was ordered to come to Yanchang County to garrison. This officer has an order from the military department, please open the city gate. ”

After listening to Xu Lang, Lin Yingrui turned his head and said a few words from the people around him, and then shouted: "Since you were ordered to come to garrison, why did you bring so many Diao people, I have no food in Yanchang County, and I can't afford to supply so many of you." ”

"My lord, these are not Diao people, they are the people of the Ming Dynasty that we saved from the hands of the Liukou." Xu Lang raised his head and shouted, "We bring our own military rations, and we don't need to be supplied by adults." ”

"This official doesn't care if what you say is true or not, I have nowhere to let you be stationed in Yanchang County." Lin Yingrui pointed to the distance, "There are some open spaces over there, you can go and camp there." ”

After Lin Yingrui finished speaking, he turned his head and went down the city wall, leaving Xu Lang looking at the city wall blankly.

"What to do, they won't let us into the city." Lin Zhaolong came up from behind, "How can these Ming Dynasty officials have a problem, and they regard such a small county more important than anything else." ”

Xu Lang looked at the city wall helplessly: "Zhaolong, how many people do you say there can be in the county now?" ”

"I don't know." Lin Zhaolong asked, "Why are you asking this, isn't Wang Shan from Yanchang County, ask him to come and ask." ”

Wang Shan was brought to Xu Lang and Lin Zhaolong: "Back to the two generals, there were originally 10,000 people in the county, but there have been major droughts over the years, and there have been several military disasters, and I am afraid there are only a few thousand people left." ”

"How much food is there in the city now?" Xu Lang asked, "How about the magistrate named Lin Yingrui as an official?" ”

Wang Shan heard Xu Lang ask Lin Yingrui, and his face showed resentment: "General, there is no food in the city. As for Lord Lin, the villain didn't dare to say it. ”

"What don't you dare to say?" Lin Zhaolong shouted, "With my Yulin Army here, if you have something to say, don't spit out." ”

"General." Wang Shan made up his mind, "In the past few years, the army has been plagued by wars and droughts, and the people have lived in extreme poverty. Lord Lin was endowed with greed, did not want to prolong the urgent need for pension, and teamed up with Guo Shengmin, Zhang Fang and others to steal and rob, wantonly commit adultery, and loot people's wealth, so that the resentment was boiling. ”

"So he's still a corrupt official." Xu Lang smiled, "That's easy to say." ”

Wang Shan was taken down, and Lin Zhaolong asked, "Xu Lang, what do you mean, what do you want to do?" ”

"Hehe, Zhaolong." Xu Lang said with a smile, "Let's open a shed outside the city to give porridge, I want to see if the people's hearts are back, can we enter this Yanchang County." ”

Dozens of cauldrons were supported again, and the boiling rice soup was steaming in the pot, Xu Lang found more than a dozen soldiers with loud voices to stand under the city and kept shouting: "The people of Yanchang County, my general gives porridge, everyone can go out of the city to drink porridge." ”

It didn't take long for the city to be full of hungry people, and even some of the soldiers and servants were lying on the top of the city looking down and swallowing their saliva.

Lin Yingrui came to the city wall again: "Come on, disperse these Diao people, find someone to go down and ask, what are they going to do?" ”

Several officials opened the city gate and came to Ling Zhaolong and Xu Lang: "My lord asked us to ask, what are you going to do?" ”

"What do you say we're going to do?" Lin Zhaolong glared, "Can't you see that we are opening a shed here to give porridge and help the victims?" ”

"General." The official was frightened by Lin Zhaolong's momentum, "The villain doesn't mean anything else, it's my family who asked us to ask." ”

"What's your name?" Xu Lang asked.

"The villain's name is Zhang Fang." The official smiled with a smile on his face, "The villain is the head catcher of Yanchang County." ”

"You are Zhang Fang." Xu Lang pointed at Zhang Fang, "There is one of you." ”

Zhang Fang was stunned: "General, I have one." ”

"This official is a guerrilla general from Sanpin." Xu Lang pretended to be arrogant, "I was ordered by the general of the military department to be stationed here." In recent days, this official has received a complaint from some common people and squires, and you are also in it, do you understand? ”

"General." Zhang Fang was a little scared, "General, don't listen to those nonsense of the people, the villain has always been law-abiding, and he doesn't dare to slack off." ”

"Is that really the case?" Xu Lang softened his attitude, "The official also knows that the twists and turns in this are too complicated, and the official has to investigate it in detail." Now go back and tell your lordship that we have come by the will of the imperial court, and now we are giving porridge outside the city, and ask your lord to open the city gate and let the people come out to receive the porridge. ”

"Thank you, general, the villain will go and report." After Zhang Fang finished speaking, he hurriedly turned around and ran into the city.

"Gao Chen, you call Wang Shan again, I have something to arrange." Xu Lang commanded.

After a while, the city gate was opened, and a team of officials and sergeants drove the victims to the outside of the city one after another, and Lin Yingrui also led people to Xu Lang.

Lin Yingrui reluctantly arched his hand to Xu Lang: "The lower officials don't know that the guerrilla general has arrived, so he will miss the distance." The general was a bodhisattva, and the lower official thanked the general for the people of Yanchang County for me. ”

"Lord Lin is not polite, it is also our duty to rescue the people of Daming, let's go to the city to talk."

After Xu Lang finished speaking, he didn't care whether Lin Yingrui agreed or not, and directly turned around and shouted: "Gao Chen, order the troops to enter the city." ”

"Lord Lin, please." Xu Lang rode on the horse and hugged Lin Yingrui slightly, and went straight to the horse into the county seat, leaving Lin Zhixian in a daze.

"My lord, they're in town." Zhang Fang reminded on the side.

"Oh yes." Lin Yingrui scolded in his heart, and he could only lead people to hurriedly keep up with Xu Lang's pace.

When Lin Yingrui returned to the county office with his people, he found that the entire county government had been occupied by the soldiers of the Yulin Army, and all the squad leaders and officials were driven outside the hall, and Xu Lang was sitting in his place.

"What's going on?" Lin Yingrui couldn't suppress his anger, and shouted at Xu Lang, "This is Yanchang County, not a place where you can do whatever you want." ”

"Someone." Xu Lang ignored Lin Yingrui, took the startling wood and patted it, "Ascend to the hall." ”

"Mighty ---- Wu ----," the Yulin Army soldiers standing around shouted slowly, learning from the appearance of a servant.

"Take the plaintiff."

"Take the plaintiff."

With the shouting, Gao Chen brought Wang Shan in from outside the hall.

Wang Shan knelt on the ground: "Lord Qiqingtian, the villain Wang Shan has grievances." ”

"If you have any grievances, tell me quickly." Xu Langqiang held back his smile, "I will make the decision for you." ”

Lin Yingrui was already dumbfounded, how could a martial artist be promoted to ask the case?

"Return to the master." Wang Shan held a piece of paper high above his head, "The villain sued Lin Yingrui, the magistrate of Yanchang County, for bending the law for bribes, stealing and robbing, and killing the people." ”

"Bastard." Lin Yingrui reflected, "Boldly Diao Min, who are you and why do you want to frame this official." ”

"Someone." Xu Lang slapped the wood again, "Take down this corrupt official." ”

"Bold." Lin Yingrui shouted angrily and called out to the soldiers who came over, "This official is a dignified court and is a seven-rank county, who dares to take me?" ”

Xu Lang didn't expect Lin Yingrui to shout such a sentence, and he was stunned for a while.

Lin Yingrui's confidence suddenly came up: "According to the Ming law, all the current officials appointed by the Ministry of Officials have no cases of collaborating with the enemy and losing the city, bribery, and even if they are governors, they only have the right to participate, not the right to detain. What's more, you are just a guerrilla from the third grade, what right do you have to take me? ”

Xu Lang touched his head, this Lin Yingrui is quite difficult to deal with.

"Lin Zhi County." Xu Lang thought of another trick, "Ben will ask about your crime of bribery, why don't you have the right to take you?" ”

"Jokes." Lin Yingrui said coldly, "Even if the official is really guilty, the case must be questioned by the Imperial History and the Criminal Department." You are a martial artist, how to sit in the lobby, down! ”

"Come down, come down." Seeing that Lin Yingrui's confidence was getting stronger and stronger, Zhang Fang and other officials also shouted.

"Okay, Lin Zhixian." Xu Lang knew that he would be speechless if he continued to talk about it, and he still knew very little about the laws of the Ming Dynasty, "I will not ask about this case today." But Lin Zhixian, if he doesn't ask, it doesn't mean that others don't ask, Lin Zhixian is waiting for the people from the Imperial History and the Criminal Department. ”

Xu Lang walked out of the county office with Gao Chen and the others, and Lin Zhaolong and Gu Yunkun were waiting for him outside with a smile: "How is it, Xu Lang, you can be regarded as meeting an opponent today, right?" ”

"I really can't talk about him." Xu Lang said with a smile, "Gao Chen, let people guard the county office, and no one should be released." ”

"Yes, sir." Gao Chen went down to make arrangements.

"Xu Lang, can this work?" Gu Yunkun asked uneasily, "Lin Yingrui is also a county magistrate, what if he reports to the county?" ”

"Let's do this first, our main task now is to guard against Gao Yingxiang." Xu Lang didn't explain much, "Zhaolong, let's go and see the situation in the county together." ”

Lin Zhaolong and Xu Lang took people around the county. Now there are more than 9,000 people in the county town plus the 3,000 people originally taken in, and with the Yulin Army, there are more than 11,000 people in the entire Yanchang County.

"Let's do it now." Xu Lang had a simple meeting with Lin Zhaolong and Gu Yunkun, "Zhaolong, you immediately send someone to send a letter to Wang Qianxiang and Lu Xiangsheng, so that Wang Qianxiang can find a way to send some food over, so that Lu Xiangsheng can come to Shaanxi as soon as possible." Lao Gu, you also arrange, I asked Gao Chen to take people around first, if it is safe, you immediately take people to explore the oil well, check the location first, and let's mine slowly. ”

"What about the city, how to settle those refugees?" Lin Zhaolong asked.

"I'll fix it." Xu Lang said, "I'm looking for someone to settle them, and those who can help us do our work will be collected, and we have to strengthen the defense of the city wall." ”

"What about that Lin Yingrui?" Gu Yunkun asked again.

"Let's close the county government first, I'll think about how to deal with him these days." After Xu Lang finished speaking, he said to Lin Zhaolong, "Zhaolong, you still have to send scouts to Xi'an to see the movements of Gao Yingxiang and Liu Zongmin, let's prepare early." ”

"Okay, I'll arrange it."

After the three of them finished discussing, they went their separate ways.

After a few days, the county seat gradually returned to calm. Xu Lang organized more than 1,000 young and strong refugees into several teams, and every day the Yulin Army led them to start building defense facilities. All the people in the city were rationed, the common people had two meals a day, and the soldiers of the Yulin Army also reduced the food quota.

After a few days of exploration, according to the data of later generations, Gu Yunkun found several places where oil could be produced, and waited for the situation to stabilize before drilling and oil production.

The three-way scouts sent by Lin Zhaolong did not come back, Xu Lang and Lin Zhaolong climbed the city wall every day, and they were a little anxious to wait, and no one knew if Gao Yingxiang would suddenly appear in Yanchang County.
