Chapter 444: Gao Lian is here

Hot recommendation:、

The battle to exterminate the wild boars continued until the evening, and more than 100 wild boars were captured alive and many were shot.

Hao Siwen led the troops back to the musket barracks, and Gongsun Sheng returned to the water army barracks.

When he came back in the evening, Gongsun Sheng saw that there were two more Jiaolong warships in the port, and the flag was that of the Sixth Fleet. When he came to the Chinese army, Xu Guanzhong was discussing with Chao Xiong, and when he saw Gongsun Sheng coming, Xu Guanzhong got up and saluted, Xu Guanzhong said: "I haven't seen the military division for more than a year, and I am still so fairy." ”

Gongsun Sheng said with a smile: "I'm afraid Captain Xu is here with an order." ”

Xu Guanzhong said: "The military advisor is clever, and he did come with an order, ordering Hao Siwen's musket battalion to temporarily live on Jeju Island, and at the same time wrote a letter to the military advisor. ”

Gongsun Sheng opened it and saw that the handwriting was rude, it was written by Chao Gai, saying that the situation in the imperial court had changed greatly, and Chao Shangshu could not fight Gao Yu and others, Gao Yu transferred Gao Lian to serve as the prefect of Jeju through the imperial court, Gao Lian led 3,000 troops from Gao Tang to the south, it is said that there were 500 demon soldiers, in order to stabilize the morale of the army, so please go back as soon as possible.

Gongsun Sheng said: "There is nothing else to do here, you can leave at any time." ”

Xu Guanzhong said: "Hao Siwen is not in a hurry to transfer troops to New Jeju Island, let them wait for the merchant ship to go to Jeju, how about we leave for Shandong early tomorrow morning." ”

Gongsun Sheng said: "It is exactly what I want." ”

Xu Guanzhong took two warships with him on this trip, and drove to Rizhao Port with full horsepower along the way, but the road was far away, and it took seven or eight days to arrive. Then the horse galloped back to Yuncheng.

In the Yuncheng barracks, Chao Gai, Zhu Wu, Yang Zhi and others personally went to the gate of the camp to greet the three divisions.

Chao Gai said: "It's hard to let the military division rush over for thousands of miles. ”

Gongsun Sheng said: "Poor Dao was used to running around in his early years, although this road is far, but they are all taking a boat, and it is not hard, what is the situation now." ”

Chao Gai said: "The situation is still stable, but I don't know how to go, the military advisor and rest for a while, let's go to the Chinese army to talk." ”

Immediately, Gongsun Sheng went back to his room to wash and rest, and an hour later he came to the Chinese army.

It turned out that at the beginning of August, the imperial court sent an inspection team composed of household departments, and although Chao Gai did not welcome these people, he had to let them come to investigate. What did the team investigate, the yield of Tianwang rice, the yield of rice and the cultivation of fish in rice fields. It's okay if you don't inspect it, but you will be in trouble as soon as you take the exam, saying that your grain yield per mu in Jeju has reached 1,000 catties, and it is not appropriate to pay the grain tax according to the original 30 catties per mu, and now you have to pay 100 catties per mu.

Chao Gai was on fire at that time, and this group of high-ranking officials who were idle in the temple couldn't see the common people having a peaceful birthday for a few days, and they had to pay more taxes if the grain output was high, what is the reason? Immediately Chao Gai canceled the reception of this group of people, they eat their own, and they have to pay for their own food, and they have to pay for their lives, and they feel bored and go back to Tokyo Kaifeng, and they are said that Kaifeng has been treated coldly by the management of this group of households, and they are all over the place, saying that Chao Gai has no court, Jeju is so rich that he is full of oil, and every household earns 10,000 catties of grain a year, and livestock is everywhere, that is, he is willing to share his worries for the imperial court, and he is unwilling to pay more taxes, which is really hateful.

Gao Yu also fanned the flames on the side, and the emperor of the early dynasty was very annoyed after hearing this, and immediately decided to sanction Jeju Prefecture and promote Gao Lian, the prefect of the Tang Dynasty, to be the prefect of Jeju. Because Tian Hu raised troops and the imperial court wanted to send troops to encircle and suppress them, they needed a lot of grain and grass, so the household department and the military department extended their claws to the wealthy Jeju.

Gao Lian came to Jeju as the prefect, which was a great risk, under the coordination of Gao Yu, Gao Lian not only brought the 3,000 soldiers trained from Gao Tang, but also transferred a general, called the double whip general Hu Yanzhuo behind the gate, and led 3,000 heavy cavalry to assist Gao Lian. In order to envelop Hu Yanzhuo, Gao Yu also specially gave him a good horse, called Kicking Snow Wuqi. This horse is similar to Chao Gai's BMW Dark Cloud Treading Snow, both of which are black horses with four white hooves, good physical strength, strong endurance, strong explosiveness, and very brave.

Chao Gai said the matter, Gongsun Sheng felt that the matter was also very tricky, this matter was very difficult to deal with, Gao Yu took a strong step and enveloped the emperor, you oppose him Gao Yu is against the emperor and the court.

Gongsun Sheng asked: "Where is the inexpensive army now?" ”

Zhu Wudao: "Gao Lian's army has just left Gaotang, and it is expected to arrive in three or five days, and Wu Junshi and Mi Sheng are stationed in Jeju City." The rest of the cavalry, infantry, and sailors were already in full array. ”

Gongsun Sheng said: "These 6,000 men and horses are easy to break, but I am worried that after they are broken, they will be hostile to the imperial court from now on, which is not conducive to the development of our Jeju, we need to think of a perfect plan, Ji will drive Gao Lian away, and we can't lose peace with the imperial court." ”

Immediately, Chao Gai invited Wu Yong back, and a group of people discussed for a day, and decided to implement the strategy of closing the door and beating the dog, and let them in first.

Although the climate of August has begun autumn, but the power of the autumn tiger is still very great, Gao Lian is sweating on the horse, more than a dozen generals beside him, one of them is the most eye-catching, more than eight feet tall, riding a big black horse, a pair of double whips hanging on the victory hook, this person is the grandson of the founding general called Hu Yanzhuo.

Hu Yanzhuo also had two good brothers, named Han Tao and Peng Xi, Hu Yanzhuo brought 3,000 cavalry, including 1,000 iron-armored chain horses at the bottom of the box. A strong soldier is the confidence, and Hu Yanzhuo does not feel inferior in front of Gao Lian.

Gao Lian looked up at the big sun and said, "General Huyan, the weather is still a little hot in the morning, and this officer understands that the heavy armored cavalry is too hot, so it is better to rest by the river ahead." ”

Hu Yanzhuo secretly said that you are hot, but no matter what, Gao Lian is still very good to Hu Yanzhuo, Hu Yanzhuo hugged his fists and said: "Thank you to the prefect for showing mercy to the soldiers." ”

The whole army immediately ordered to go to the front of the river beach where the water and grass were lush to rest, the autumn tiger was indeed hot, the infantry washed their hands and faces, and the cavalry had to give the horses water before resting.

Gao Lian is a person who can enjoy, and the soldiers quickly set up a gazebo under the shade of the tree, and Gao Lian asked Hu Yanzhuo to sit under the gazebo.

Gao Lian said: "Although Jeju is the Jeju of the imperial court on the surface, it has actually been controlled by the Jeju Tuan Lian Chaogai, because his uncle is a secretary of the ministry, so it is not easy for the imperial court to deal with it openly, so this official came to Jeju to serve as the prefect to control the expansion of Chaogai's power." ”

Hu Yanzhuo said: "I am a military general, I don't know much about these things, I only listen to military orders, since the imperial court has arranged for me to be a subordinate of Lord Gao, even if there is anything ordered, the general must obey." ”

Gao Lian said: "That's good, this Chao Gai is flying and domineering, it's time to clean him up." ”

Gao Lian's generals said one after another: "You must be able to catch Chao Gai." ”

The army marched, and after a few days arrived at Jeju City, only to see merchants coming and going outside Jeju City, which was very prosperous, and there were only five or six officials on duty at the gate of the city.

Gao Lian looked at the seven tricks and smoked, and said with a cold face: "How can you be so rude, this official came to take office, but no one came to greet him." ”

Hu Yanzhuo said: "Maybe the city didn't get notice." ”

Gao Lian said: "It must be that Chao Gai who passed down the word and didn't let him greet him." ”

In fact, this can be wronged, it has always been the rule of Jeju Prefecture that people can only be greeted at the gate of the palace, and there are indeed very few times when they are greeted at the gate of the city, and officials at all levels in the city are busy.

As he was talking, a team of officials came to the city gate, there were more than 100 people, all wearing brand new clothes, and the first person was wearing the clothes of the arresting envoy, it was none other than He Taohe who observed.

He Tao walked a few steps, picked up his clothes and knelt down, and said, "Your Majesty He Tao greeted the late arrival, and asked for forgiveness." ”
