Chapter 3: Morning Dew

After a few days, sure enough, there was a famous hall master who rarely spoke, but his qualifications were definitely old enough, and when he was deliberating, he was very angry and brought up the problem of the delay in the "security fee" promised by Shi Weizheng, the magistrate of Wuyang County, to Juluze. When everyone heard this, the fire in their hearts was immediately aroused. Juluze is now one of the best dreadlocks in Hebei Province, how can he be fooled by a scholar? Even if he treats the old and young masters as fools, what about the big boss? Can Zhang Da be in charge of the family casually?

"Simply, let's talk nonsense with the surname Wei again, and directly send troops to end his lair!" Hao Laodao had already been itching all over his body, jumped up, and waved his arm to suggest.

"Yes, there have been three letters before and after, and I haven't seen half of the meat. What is he doing when he is our giant deer? A place to show off your literary style? "The sixth master Sun Huozi is rarely impulsive, and this time he seems to be unbearable." According to me, let's go directly to Wuyang, and we will take how much food and materials we need! ”

The third master, Du Scar, has long hoped to find something to do for Julu Ze Qunxiong, so that no one will have a toothache and ponder his daughter and son-in-law every day. Seeing Hao Laodao and Sun Huozi helping so much, he also quickly stood up and said loudly: "The fifth and sixth are right, I think we fought in the enclosure back then, and when didn't we directly block the gate of the rich man's fort with my brothers, they were willing to obediently send money and food." Although the surname Wei has read a lot, he is still a cheap bone in my opinion. If our brother doesn't go to Wuyang County, he will definitely have to grind and grind! ”

There are already three masters who have spoken, and the emotions of the hall masters and incense masters below are boiling more and more. With the big deal made by Wang Ermao last year, now everyone is not short of food or clothing, but there is no place to vent the anger in his body. Since the officials of Wuyang County were embarrassed, everyone did not hesitate to go around the city......

Hearing the voices of the people below, Zhang Jin said that he couldn't sit still. The matter of Wuyang County's loss of money and grain and acceptance of "protection" was personally supervised by him, and the picture was to suppress Cheng Mingzhen in the limelight without fighting a soldier. Who would have thought that this matter would turn yellow, where would he put his face as a big boss?

Can you send troops to fight? In a short period of time, the only one who has the confidence to come and go freely is Cheng Mingzhen. The general who ordered Cheng Mingzhen inevitably boosted the limelight of young people. Don't send Cheng Mingzhen, change someone else to lead the troops? If Wuyang County is delayed, and the damned Purple Horse Wei Wensheng kills from behind, Izuzawa's brothers may be wiped out. In that case, not only will his strength be damaged, but he will also lose a few points of color with the upcoming king ceremony.

"This, this, brothers, don't, don't be impatient!" After thinking about it, Zhang Jin said that it was difficult to make a sound. Who would have thought that the words he had finally spoken with great difficulty would not be understood by few people at all, and the noise of the leaders was only slightly weaker, and then boiled again in the blink of an eye.

"Don't argue, don't argue, you guys are endless!" Zhang Jin said that no one was paying attention to him now, and he was so angry that he slapped the table hard. This time, the leaders finally understood what he meant, and raised their heads in amazement to see which crazy the big boss was smoking.

Zhang Jin said that he was getting more and more angry, and slapped the table and roared, "Is it over, is it over?" In the end, I said it or did you say it? "What kind of virtue, no wonder I talk about being the king, Cheng Mingzhen's eyes always show a bit of abnormality. Just like this, it's almost the same as pulling livestock to buy vegetables, where is it like a prince's lobby?

The leaders were yelled at a little inexplicably, and one by one they sat up straight, frowning and looking at each other. It is difficult to guess what they are thinking about when they suddenly become big bosses, and it is becoming more and more difficult for people to serve. Although he is no longer as fierce as in previous years, sitting behind the handsome case, his face always seems to be covered with a layer of ice made into a veil, which makes people feel both distant and blurred.

"Enough is enough? Enough is enough? Who hasn't said enough to continue, I'll speak when you're done! "Zhang Jin said that if he does not forgive, it is difficult to eliminate the nameless karma in his heart." No matter how big the family is, there must be someone in charge, right? You say you will fight, what about my agreement with Wei Zheng, dare to fart in love?! ”

The leaders didn't dare to fight back, but they secretly laughed at Zhang Da in their hearts for dying to save face and suffer crimes. Wei Zheng may have come to sow discord from the beginning, and he had no intention of surrendering to Juluze at all. It's the wishful thinking of your big boss, who is to blame for knowing that others are not telling the truth, and still coming to the front to make that big mistake?

"Say, say, why aren't you afraid of being sold as a dumb person at this time!"

"Say, say, weren't you quite able to say it just now?"

In the silent Juyi Hall, Zhang Jin roared to his heart's content. It wasn't until he cried out all the depression that had accumulated in his heart for several days that he slapped the table again and explained hatefully: "The reason why I don't send troops is because I think that our brothers will go out to fight every spring, and the land at home will have to be taken care of by our wives and children, which is a great loss to others." This time, I finally have a little surplus food, so I will give everyone a chance to take care of the family, clean up the fields, renovate and renovate the house, and don't let the girls in the family be tired like animals every day......."

Speaking of emotion, his voice couldn't help but tremble. "It's not easy, it's not easy for everyone in the past two years. I know you in my heart, and you and he know my difficulties in my heart......"

Although the words are rough, they are indeed full of true feelings when you think about it. The commanders couldn't help but grin and apologize to the big boss. Zhang Jin said that when he saw that everyone was subdued by himself again, his next words became more and more serious, "Seeing that we are different!" As long as the royal flag is erected, we will be another court. The court must have the appearance of the court, and there must be some rules up and down, right? Who to beat, who to rob, how to fight, how to rob, you have to make a charter first. And then everything will be done according to the charter? Otherwise, you can fight whoever you want, and you can beat whoever you want, isn't that still a group of bandits, waiting to be laughed at? ”

"Hey, hey, hey!" The leaders laughed and laughed, speechless to respond to the accusations of the big bosses. It was still the second master, Xue Song's mind turned quickly, and after a little pondering, he understood Zhang Jincheng's true thoughts. He arched his hand upwards and said with a smile: "The big boss is angry, the brothers were a little messy just now, but they definitely don't mean to disrespect the big boss." Just ......"

Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Jincheng pretended to be angry and glanced at him, and interrupted sharply, "What are you sure of, why do I think everyone's hearts are scattered now?" ”

"It's not gone, it's not gone. Isn't it all up to you to decide? Lu Fangyuan, the eighth master, immediately jumped up and couldn't wait to explain for everyone. He also saw that Zhang Jin said that he was purely borrowing the topic at this time, and he had nothing to do. So as long as you are willing to let him go smoothly, everyone can mix up and be safe overnight.

"Humph!" Zhang Jincheng snorted coldly, his eyes swept over Lu Fangyuan's flattering smiling face, and slowly turned to the ninth position next to him. Cheng Mingzhen was also prepared, and felt that Zhang Jincheng's eyes looked at him, stood up with a smile, and bowed his hand, "The big boss has always been wise, how can he not understand the meaning of our waiting." The brothers all felt that the surname Wei had gone too far and was too sorry for the big boss, so they were upset. But what to do, it is still necessary to ask the big boss to take charge. No matter what you say, we will be the only ones to watch! ”

Although he doesn't like Cheng Mingzhen one hundred and twenty at the moment, Zhang Jin said that he had to admit that what people who have read is listening. With enough steps to go down, he didn't want to offend all the brothers. Smiled and waved his hand, and ordered in a low voice, "Sit down, everyone has this heart." Wei Zheng's kid is not authentic, and I have already seen it. But everyone was busy some time ago, so I wasn't in a hurry to compete with him. Anyway, Wuyang County can't move, and the monk surnamed Wei can't run the temple. The longer he owes us, the more interest he pays! ”

"yes, I'm going to have to make him pay some interest!" Zhang Pigskin jumped up and responded loudly.

This is a well-known rough billet, so although Zhang Jincheng was interrupted, he didn't bother with him. He smiled and continued, "Brother Pigskin sit down first, and let's discuss it slowly." Rest assured, when it's time for you to go out, you will definitely not be left behind! ”

"Xie Da is in charge!" Zhang Pigskin clenched his fists and sat down triumphantly. As if the position of pioneer officer had already been obtained, Gu was full of self-satisfaction.

Seeing this, the leaders couldn't help but sigh in their hearts that Zhang Pigskin had seized the opportunity well and the sycophants were timely. Cheng Mingzhen understood that Zhang Zhupi was trying to create opportunities for himself, and nodded to the other party with actions that others could not detect, and then stood up again, and bowed his hand to Zhang Jincheng: "The big boss says how to fight, let's naturally fight." As long as you give an order, I am willing to personally arrest Wei Zheng for you! ”

"You caught him, it's not a matter of getting his hands dirty!" Zhang Jincheng smiled and nodded. "As the saying goes, there is a head for the wronged, and there is a master for the debtor. He's been causing trouble between the two of us lately, and I've been wanting to ask you what your plans are. Since you're here today, let's hear what you mean! ”

"I think the big boss is very sure!" Cheng Mingzhen groaned slightly, and then smiled and complimented Zhang Jincheng. Brothers have worked hard for the past two years, and it is a blessing for you to be considerate of you. ”

Everyone loves to listen to sycophants, and Zhang Jin is no exception. Although he still has to be modest on the surface, the smile on his face is kinder, "Don't learn from them, pick up some nice words to make me happy." You read a lot here, you say that if you fight, how will we fight? If we don't fight, how can we get the surnamed Wei to obediently send the grain and grass over! ”

"The big boss must have thought of Wei Wensheng, a dog thief, who was eyeing him in Liyang!" Cheng Mingzhen smiled and continued to compliment Zhang Jincheng for his caution. "If our goal is to break through Wuyang County, once Wei Wensheng leads the cavalry to make a detour from behind, although Wuyang County is far away from Liyang, it will only take three or five days......"

"That's right!" Zhang Jincheng slapped the table with a smile, "This is also what makes Lao Tzu embarrassed." Lao Tzu is not afraid of fighting with Wei Wensheng, but he is attacked by the enemy on his back, and Lao Tzu is really difficult to parry! ”

In the blink of an eye, the relationship between the two was restored, as if they had returned to the days before killing Feng Xiaoci, and they talked about everything. Du Scar, Hao Laodao and the others smiled at each other, and they were all happy for the tacit cooperation with each other just now. was tacitly proud, and suddenly heard Cheng Mingzhen add: "So the subordinates don't suggest that we start a war with Wuyang County immediately." One is because the risk is too great, and the other is that it also goes against the original intention of the big boss to let the brothers rest! ”

As soon as these words came out, it meant that the efforts of Du Scar and others were all in vain. The old guys were so angry that they turned their heads and rolled their eyes at Cheng Mingzhen. Cheng Mingzhen smiled apologetically at them, and continued to say to Zhang Jin: "However, if we don't attack Wuyang, it doesn't mean that we let go of the surnamed Wei. The rules of our Juluze can't be broken, if we let the surnamed Wei make this bad start today, someone will definitely follow in the future. After a long time, it will return to the days when every time I harvested grain, I had to make a big move! ”

Jin Cheng nodded repeatedly. Cheng Mingzhen's words all hit the point, so that even if he doubted the other party's loyalty, he had to admit that these words were indeed reasonable. But the problems are all on the bright side, but the choice is not necessarily easy to make. It's hard to fight, and it's hard not to fight, it's really hesitant.

Cheng Mingzhen has never tried to deal with his own people, and the first time he tried, his heart was full of contradictions. Looking back at the cuckoo who was smiling and looking up at him, and then at the anxious Du Scar who was sweating, he turned his heart and smiled and admonished, "So, after thinking about it, my subordinates have an idea that is not very perfect, and I don't know whether to say it or not!" ”

Zhang Jin said that when he heard the itching part of his heart, how could he stop there, waved his big hand, and urged boldly, "Say, say, just say. Which sentence is there between us, I will go around if there is a mistake, and you will do your best! ”

Cheng Mingzhen looked around again, pretending to hesitate, "Then, that subordinate can just say it." If there is anything unsafe, please be the master, and please ask the seniors to correct more? ”

"Say it, say it. When did the nine masters become so mother-in-law and mother-in-law?! The leaders were also itching and urging.

"You just say, everyone will help you decide what is right or wrong!" The second master, Xue Song, smiled and waved his hand to urge.

Cheng Mingzhen wanted this sentence, groaned slightly, and said with a smile: "It was also my father-in-law's sentence just now, 'If you don't block the door, no one will be willing to pay', woke me up." So, I want to bring a brother to the door to collect the debt. Qingzhang County, which pulled the team at the door of Wuyang County, was the location where Hall Master Wang and Hall Master Zhang were stationed last time. It is only separated from Wuyang County by a water. If Yuan Baobao and Wei Zheng don't know each other, I will rush directly into his house and smash it. If they obediently send the money and food to the big boss, I will stay where I am and return after receiving the money and food! ”

"Indeed a way! However...... "Open fire is in charge, Zhang Jin can be described as an expert, and it can be seen at a glance that Cheng Mingzhen's method is effective." But thinking that this might allow Cheng Mingzhen to regain control of the army, he swallowed the second half of the sentence again.

"The subordinates know that the big boss is worried about the safety of his subordinates. But the subordinates don't need too many soldiers and horses this time, and they will never come hard. If Wei Wen rises to the top, his subordinates will fight if they can, and if they can't fight, they will retreat to Zedi. Qingzhang is not far from Juluze, and the big boss can go out to meet at any time! ”

This sentence not only took care of Zhang Jincheng's face, but also forced the other party into a very embarrassing position. Zhang Jin said that he couldn't refuse anymore, so he had to smile and ask tentatively, "I'm really a little worried that you won't be able to cope with it." But since you've thought it through, I won't stop you. How many soldiers and horses do you need, is half a battalion of sharp soldiers enough? ”

"The training of the Ruishi Battalion has just seen some results, and there is no room for delay!" Cheng Mingzhen's answer once again surprised Zhang Jincheng's expectations, and the more reassuring he was, "Since you don't plan to fight hard, it's enough for your subordinates to only bring their own soldiers and horses." Leave the rest of the brothers in the Ruishi Battalion in Zezhong, and let Uncle Hao lead Zhang Hu and Zhang Biao to continue training! ”

At present, Julu Ze's strongest combat power is the 40,000 sharp soldiers, of which only about 5,000 belong to Cheng Mingzhen and Du Juan, and they have not accounted for 20% of them. Zhang Jin said that of course he would not even be reluctant to pay this little capital, and while he was happy, he felt a faint worry in his heart, and after a little silence, he asked in a low voice: "Brother who only brings Jinzi Village, is that strength a little worse?" How much grain and grass do you need, report it first, and my second child and I will see how to prepare it for you! ”

Cheng Mingzhen arched his hand upward, his face full of pride, "I came to collect debts this time under the banner of being a big boss, and the brothers in the Guangjin Ziying camp are enough." When you really need to fight, it's not too late to bring all your soldiers and horses to meet you! ”

"As for the grain and grass?" He looked at Zhang Jincheng's face and added cautiously, "You don't have to carry too much." The big boss can allocate two months' military rations to me first. If I can't come back after two months, I'll ask the big boss again. But I estimate that a month is enough, it's useless to bring too much, it's in vain, how to push it out, how to push it back! ”

"Hehe, be prepared, be prepared!" Zhang Jin said that he was completely relieved this time, and said with his chin rubbed. Food is the courage of the three armies, and Cheng Mingzhen's reputation will be changed again, if he doesn't give him military rations, his subordinates will also have to starve and smoke. In the two months that he was absent from Zezhong, he just let go of his hands and feet, and slowly retracted some of the power he put down.

"In addition to collecting debts from Wei, his subordinates have another idea!" Cheng Mingzhen saw Zhang Jincheng smiling happily and decided to continue striking while the iron was hot. "Since the big boss wants to be the king, it is definitely not enough to guard a giant deerze. After your subordinates arrive in Qingzhang, you may wish to send officials to Nanhe, Pingxiang, Longgang, and Weishui, or order the local officials of the Great Sui to directly listen to your dispatch. These county towns are sandwiched between Qingzhang and Juluze, and there is no second choice at all except to bow down to the vassals. At that time, the big boss will take Juluze as the heart and the seven counties on the west side of Xiangguo and Wu'an as the helpers, and can attack and defend, advance and retreat......"

All of you here are from Hebei and are quite familiar with the terrain around Juluze. Cheng Mingzhen's words undoubtedly made everyone see a brilliant and vague outline. Juluze, Bairen, Nanhe, Pingxiang, Pingen, these places they have walked will always be under their rule. They are no longer thieves, no longer passers-by. They were to build a nation with their own hands, with food, drink, clothing, and shelter. There are no corrupt officials, and there are no exorbitant taxes......

As for what the kings and soldiers of this country eat without paying taxes, everyone is too busy to think about it.
