Chapter 6 Lao Tzu Finally Has Money Section 072 Release My Pigeon?
The mood of the weavers has been stirred up by Ji Qingwen, and they shouted: "Kill his whole family!" Kill his whole family! Kill his whole family! ”
Everyone shouted happily, and several dart masters who had arranged for Duo Jiu Gong to invite the horses also arrived, and when they saw the sound of killing in the weaving workshop, they thought that the weavers were about to rebel again, so they were so frightened that they threw down their horses and turned around and left.
Ji Qingwen saw that the weavers were excited, nodded with satisfaction, and then beckoned everyone, took out five hundred silk from the warehouse, put on the cart and put on the horses, and took advantage of the early hours and the city of Suzhou was not noisy, and went out of the city through the Xiangmen and went east to Songjiang Mansion.
The terrain in the south of the Yangtze River is flat, the law and order are calm, and Ji Qingwen and his party walked extremely smoothly, and they had already walked seventy or eighty miles by noon.
Ji Qingwen saw that the people's anger had not dispersed, but his physical strength was no longer able to keep up, so he chose an open high ground in the middle of the farmland, beckoned everyone to protect the silk and rested in place.
He also sent Duo Jiugong to a nearby reliable restaurant to buy some dry food and clean water for everyone to eat and drink.
Duojiu Gongjiang and Lakes have rich experience, seeing that although this side is a rural area, it is still very prosperous, and there are small restaurants and small tea stalls on the side of the official road, so in order to prevent being assassinated by traitors, they bought a little here and a copy there, and gathered a meal for 400 people, and sent it to the highlands.
After everyone finished eating and drinking, they set off for Songjiang Mansion again.
The place where Ji Qingwen walked was the place where Jiangsu and Shanghai met in later generations, and the further east he went, the denser the river waters became. Although there are bridges crossing these rivers, Ji Qingwen and the others are driving the carriage, and the speed is still a little slowed down.
Therefore, when everyone walked to the established fishing village of Songjiang Prefecture, it was already the time of Shen, the sun was gradually setting, and the light was slowly dimming.
But Ji Qingwen sent people to check in the fishing village, but he didn't see any big ships anchored here.
Ji Qingwen felt strange, and personally asked two fishermen to ask, and heard them say: This is a small fishing village, and there are a few broken fishing boats in the village, and I have never seen any big boats.
Li Yan listened beside him and asked, "Master Ji, are you and that maritime merchant named Zheng Zhilong really here?" Could it be that I got it somewhere? ”
Ji Qingwen confirmed the location again, and saw that this small fishing village was built by the sea, but there was a hill twenty or thirty zhang high next to it, which was very conspicuous on the Jiangnan Plain of Pingchuan.
"Since this is Dianshan Village, then I didn't go to the wrong place, could it be that Zheng Zhilong released my pigeons?" Ji Qingwen muttered to himself.
Li Yan on the side listened to it and asked in surprise: "Brother Ji is really doing things safely, it turns out that Zheng Zhilong's carrier pigeon is still kept, so don't let it out, it's good to hear that Zheng Zhilong has a contact." ”
Ji Qingwen smiled bitterly: "Brother Li made a mistake. Releasing pigeons is a common saying on our side, which is a metaphor for others who do not believe in their words and should not come. ”
After that, Ji Qingwen sighed and said comfortingly: "It's probably because Zheng Zhilong encountered something, so there was a bit of a delay...... Alas, it is getting late now, and everyone is sleepy, so we should either rest here first, and then we will discuss it in the long run. ”
So the group chose a vacant lot under Dianshan Mountain, parked the vehicles loaded with silk in the center, and more than 300 weavers sat on the ground to protect these precious silks worth more than 200,000 taels.
Ji Qingwen sent Duo Jiugong to the fishing village to buy some food and drink for everyone to eat and drink.
At this moment, the fishing village has just returned from collecting the nets, and the fresh sea fish are in a pile, and there is absolutely no chance of poisoning.
So Duo Jiugong spent money to buy 400 catties of various sea fish, and spent silver to ask the fishermen to prepare firewood, grass, and coals, light a few bonfires, kill the fresh sea fish, and put them on the fire to barbecue.
In a matter of moments, the refreshing smell of grilled fish rises nearby.
After Ji Qingwen crossed over, he was in inland Shaanxi, and it was rare to eat a sea fish, so he took a sea fish with fat and few bones, and he ate it all the time, and his face was full of oil.
Li Yan on the side lives on the bank of the Yellow River, and his family is a child of a family, and there are not a lot of fish on the table, but he still eats with relish today, only to hear him say to Ji Qingwen: "Brother Ji, I have eaten not a thousand fish, but also five hundred." But the mud and sand smell of fish in the Yellow River is too strong, which can be described as a mouthful of fish and half a mouthful of sand. However, this sea fish is extremely tender, and there is no miscellaneous taste in the mouth except for the delicious taste. Baking the fish over a charcoal fire without a thick red sauce brings out the flavor of the fish itself, and it is already a delicious thing in the world......
Ji Qingwen listened while eating, and seemed to forget the depression of not meeting Zheng Zhilong for the time being, and replied: "Actually, there are Japanese people who don't cook at all and only eat raw fish, and the raw ones are the best kind of sea fish, and they are worth a lot of money to buy!" ”
Li Yan didn't think so: "The Japanese...... I remember that during the Jiajing period, the southeast coast was rampant, and in the Wanli period, our dynasty fought a major war with Japan in Korea. Hum! They killed the sexuals, drank blood, and were indeed the people of the world. ”
Ji Qingwen said with a smile: "Brother Li scolded happily, but don't forget, I have to give an errand to the emperor in the future, but we all expect Zheng Zhilong to sell our silk to the Japanese for thousands of miles." But this Zheng Zhilong, why hasn't he come until now......"
As he was talking, he saw a firelight coming from the west, which was getting closer and closer, and it was getting more and more urgent, followed by a faint sound of shouting and killing.
When Ji Qingwen saw it, he hurriedly put down the grilled fish in his hand, stood up, stood on tiptoe, and took out the telescope he got from Zheng Zhilong, and looked at the western horizon - only to see that there were five or six hundred people who came, each holding pine light and torches, and rushed to his side one by one.
Li Yan beside him was short-sighted, and he only saw a large piece of light moving in the distance, so he hurriedly asked, "Brother Ji, what's going on over there?" ”
Ji Qingwen replied: "I don't know, just a group of people rushed over, and it seemed that they were still holding weapons in their hands, and it seemed that the people who came were not good." ”
Li Yan is a scholar after all, and when he heard this, he immediately panicked: "How is this good, how is this good." Oh, why don't you get everyone up and form a formation? ”
"Yes, yes. Queue array, queue array. Only then did Ji Qingwen remember that he had no military experience at all, and hurriedly asked Li Yandao again, "Brother Li, you have extensive experience, and you must have read a lot of military books, I don't know if you know how to form a formation?" ”
When Li Yan heard this, he showed a constipation-like expression on his face, and said, "I'm a scholar, how can I understand military affairs?" Even if you understand, it's just just talk on paper. ”
Ji Qingwen stuck out his tongue and cursed secretly, but saw Ge Sheng, the leader of the weavers, running over and saying, "My lord, why are the thieves here?" Our generation in Jiangnan is very safe, and we have never heard of any robbers and robbers! ”
Ji Qingwen was in a hurry, how could he have any intention to discuss the issue of public security with him, and said: "It's too late to say this kind of thing now, you quickly tell the weavers to get up quickly and form a formation." ”
Ge Sheng said: "My lord, we are all honest people, but we can't fight against the robbers, so let's run quickly." ”
"Fart. You can run the weaver, but you can't run the silk! These are all royal tributes, if they are lost, not only will the money not be recovered, but it will also be a crime of bullying the king, and none of us will be able to escape. ”
When Ge Sheng heard this, he hurriedly turned around and beckoned the weavers to get up, but he immediately walked back and asked, "My lord, you said that you are arrayed, but how can you tell us to form a formation?" ”
Ji Qingwen had no master, and after thinking about it a little, he could only say: "No matter what formation he is, there are three hundred of you, every fifteen people are lined up, and twenty rows are lined up in front of the front and back, stand in front of the silk, don't move!" Also, Huang Degong, you stand at the front of the line. ”
These weavers were also quite disciplined, and after listening to the orders, and under the command of Duo Jiu Gong and Ge Sheng, they formed a rather tight phalanx in a few moments.
And Huang Degong held an iron rod and stood at the front of the team - this iron rod was when Huang Degong was in Fucheng Post Station to deal with Xu Hongru and Zhou Xiuying of the White Lotus Sect who came to assassinate Wei Zhongxian, he felt that the bamboo pole was quite handy, so he specially customized this stick nearly a zhang long as a weapon.
Ji Qingwen saw that the formation had been formed, and he was a little determined, but when he saw Ge Sheng running back again, he said, "My lord, we are unarmed now, and we can't deal with those thieves in front of us!" ”
