30. The Way to Make Money
ps: It's Monday today, ask for recommendation votes to support, brothers have votes to vote, give a reward if you have coins, send a comment if you don't have coins and no votes, and strive to rush to the top ten on the front page of the new book list, thank you!
Without waiting for Gu Jinchao to speak, Gu Decao hugged his fists and apologized: "General Lin, it's all the fault of the old man!" ”
It turned out that Gu Decao's father, Gu Zhaonian, offended Wei Zhongxian in Yingtianfu Mansion Yin, and was almost robbed of his house, and finally the fifty-five-year-old Gu Zhaonian committed suicide by taking poison, and the eunuch party led by Wei Zhongxian let the Gu family go.
This made Gu Decao, who was in business, feel uncomfortable with the deceit of officialdom, so he asked his son Gu Jinchao not to be involved in politics and not to go out of office.
After listening to the original story, Lin Yu suddenly had an epiphany: "It turns out that Master Gu's Ling Zun was persecuted by the eunuchs, no wonder you didn't let Brother Gu come out!" ”
"Emperor Sizong was wise and martial, and after taking office, he got rid of Wei Eunuch, set things right, and restored his father's reputation. It's a pity that the country was not saved in the end, and Sizong and his old man were also hanged in the coal mountain, so that the Daming mountains and rivers were broken and the people were displaced......"
Thinking of his unjustly killed father, Gu Decao couldn't help but burst into tears and choked up.
The past is gone, Wei Zhongxian's rights and wrongs Lin Yu has no time to comment for the time being, and gets up and says, "Mr. Gu, the past is gone!" Today, Gujiazhuang has nearly 100 casualties, if everyone is afraid of death, wouldn't it be a long drive for the Tartars to enter, and more compatriots will be killed?
I am not talented in Lin Zhenjiang, but I am willing to resist the Tartars to the death, restore the mountains and rivers, and protect the rivers and mountains of my Han people.
There are not many soldiers and horses in Yangzhou, there are 10,000 iron-blooded men, there are Shi Inspectors who can show the sun and the moon with a good heart, and General Liu Zhaoji, who has been on the battlefield for a long time, and we are sworn to block Jiannu's southward movement.
Brother Gu is a talent, and his martial arts are extraordinary, if he can help him, our army will definitely be like a tiger? I don't know what the old gentleman and Brother Gu think? ”
Gu Jinchao suddenly pulled out his sword from the sheath, cut off the corner of the case with a "choking" sound, and said loudly: "It is rare that General Lin is heavy, when this country is in danger, how can I, Gu Jinchao, be greedy for life and afraid of death, and live in the countryside?" I am willing to carry a three-foot sword, follow the general to drive out Jiannu, and restore the mountains and rivers! ”
"Great, I have to join Brother Gu, and I will add a tiger general to my feather battalion!"
I didn't expect Gu Jinchao to agree so happily, Lin Yu was in a good mood, and raised his glass to toast, "Come, you and my brother have a drink, from now on you will be my commander, and after returning to the camp, you will temporarily allocate two hundred soldiers to the commander!" ”
"To the general!"
Gu Jinchao had a solemn face, raised his wine glass and drank it up.
At this moment, the sky was already bright, and Deng Yuanfa, the magistrate of Liuhe County, who was in charge of this place, learned that the rebels had been defeated, so he led a hundred soldiers with Liu County Lieutenant and Luo Xunjian, and two hundred county soldiers rushed to Gujiazhuang.
"I'm Cao...... What kind of behemoth is this? ”
When Lieutenants Deng Zhixian and Liu County saw the Merkava tank from afar, they were all taken aback, and hurriedly sent messengers to investigate.
The messenger soon came to report: "Report to the lord, this is the ironclad chariot that repelled the Tartars in Yangzhou the day before yesterday, and last night General Lin drove it to defeat the rebels." ”
At the beginning of last night, the envoy of Gujiazhuang hurried to Liuhe County, 60 miles away, to ask for help, and reported to Deng Yuanfa of Zhixian County that a team of unknown origin was preparing to loot Gujiazhuang and asked for reinforcements.
Deng Yuanfa, who woke up from his sleep, hurriedly gathered his colleagues and gathered the only two hundred soldiers and three hundred county soldiers in the county, preparing to go out of the city to reinforce Gujiazhuang.
At first, Deng Zhixian thought that the team that came was a bandit, and ordered Xu Dianshi to lead a hundred soldiers and a hundred county soldiers to defend the city, and he and Liu County Lieutenant and Ding Inspector led other horses out of the city overnight to Gujiazhuang, and sent scouts to investigate the battle situation.
When Deng Zhixian and his party reached the halfway point, the scout Pegasus came to report that the team that plundered Gujiazhuang was a defeated army that had retreated from the Yangzhou battlefield, and it was the subordinate of Zhang Tianlu, the former commander of Zhenjiang.
The equipment of the county soldiers cannot be compared with that of the regular army at all, and all kinds of firearms and bird guns alone are enough for these county soldiers and government servants to drink a pot, and their combat effectiveness can only be to crack down on bandits and rogues and maintain local law and order.
As a magistrate, Deng Zhixian naturally can't sit back and watch Gujiazhuang be robbed and not rescued, but if he is killed by the rebels and sacked in Liuhe County, he can't keep this black gauze hat, and if he doesn't get it, he will have a big crime of killing his head.
Frightened, Deng Zhixian hurriedly ordered to be stationed on the spot, set up an ambush on the road that Gujiazhuang must pass to Liuhe County, and at the same time sent an envoy to cross the Yangtze River and go to Nanjing, seventy miles away, to ask for help from Yingtianwei.
When it was time to arrive, the spy Pegasus came to report that the battle was over, the rebels were nowhere to be found, and the lights in Gujiazhuang were bright and busy.
Deng Yuanfa was surprised, and thought that Gu Jinchao's brothers and sisters led Zhuang Ding to repel the rebels, so he and Liu County Lieutenant and Luo Patrol led the troops to rush to Gujiazhuang to take a look, but they didn't expect that there were strange soldiers from heaven who helped Gujiazhuang survive this catastrophe.
The official university crushed people to death, not to mention that Lin Yu was in the limelight at the moment, Yangzhou was known to the whole world in the first battle, and Deng Yuanfa did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly took Liu County Lieutenant and Luo Patrol into the village to meet General Lin Bing.
"Deng Yuanfa, the magistrate of Liuhe County, led his staff to meet General Lin!"
The three people of Deng Zhixian gave a salute together and shook it to the ground, "Thanks to the rescue of Mr. Lin today, otherwise Gujiazhuang is only afraid that he will suffer a great disaster, and he is sincerely afraid as a local parent official!" ”
Gu Jinchao took the case and scolded: "Lord Deng, our envoy from Gujiazhuang arrived in the county seat when he was ugly, why did you come to the rescue after two hours?" ”
Deng Yuanfa looked embarrassed and squeaked: "This ...... This one...... The officers and the county soldiers were all sleeping, and it took me an hour to gather them. I was afraid that it was Jiannu who was attacking, and the situation was unknown, so I didn't dare to rush out of the city, so I came late. ”
Gu Jinchao snorted coldly: "Will Jiannu take such a small county town in his eyes?" I see that you are obviously greedy for life and afraid of death, and you must be responsible for the hundreds of lives of our Gujiazhuang. ”
Gu Decao got up and said: "Okay, today, don't be embarrassed for Lord Deng anymore, even if the county soldiers arrive in time, they can't stop this army of officers and soldiers." To forgive people and forgive people, in this troubled world, the day is not safe! ”
"Thank you Mr. Gu for your understanding!"
Deng Yuanfa hurriedly thanked him, "The lower officials will allocate funds to repair Gujiazhuang and compensate the deceased." ”
Lin Yu can also understand the difficulties of Deng Zhi County, not to mention that he is only a fourth-grade general soldier, and he has no right to intervene in local government affairs, so he just admonished: "Deng Zhi County, the Tartars are hundreds of miles away, and your county soldiers can only be assembled in an hour, which is really flattering." ”
Deng Yuanfa hurriedly turned his head and scolded Luo Xunjian: "I heard it, go back and put it in order for me, if there is a next time, this official will definitely write to the prefect and the court to impeach you!" ”
In the officialdom, big fish eat small fish, small fish eat dried shrimp, Luo Inspector can only stand up and carry the black pot, nodding like pounding garlic: "The lower official is guilty, the lower official is guilty, and he must be rectified after he goes back!" ”
"How many people are there in your Liuhe County?" Lin Yu seemed to have no intention, but he actually asked intentionally.
Deng Yuanfa wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and arched his hand: "If you go back to General Lin, we have 30,000 people in Liuhe County, and about 100,000 in towns and villages. ”
Lin Yu secretly calculated in his heart, the hundreds of thousands of people in Liuhe County are not less, if they can all be grateful to themselves, there will be hundreds of thousands of gold coins in the account, but how to say this?
I can't tell Deng Zhixian that Lao Tzu saved Gujiazhuang and saved your Liuhe County, you have to give me a lot of publicity, so that the people of Liuhe County will bow to Lao Tzu.
Lin Yu's eyes turned and saw Li Wei waiting outside the door, and quietly came to the door while Deng Zhixian was talking to Gu Decao, and whispered to Li Wei for a while, Li Wei nodded again and again.
Seeing that it was almost seven o'clock in the morning at this moment, Lin Yu got up and said goodbye: "I am going to go to the capital to face the saint on this trip, and I will come to Gujiazhuang as a guest when I come back." ”
Gu Jinchao hugged his fists and said: "General Lin will go to the capital first, and when I arrange the affairs of Zhuangzhong properly, I will go to Yangzhou with you!" ”
Gu Decao saw off with a smile on his face: "The old man and the little girl are waiting for General Lin's return!" ”
Deng Zhixian and Liu County Lieutenant looked sycophant: "The humble rank respectfully sends General Lin on his journey, this will definitely be Longyan Dayue, and he will be added to the rank of knight, and I hope to say a few good words for me in front of the Son of Heaven." ”
Li Wei learned from Lin Yu to turn the pistol and quietly pulled Deng Zhixian aside: "Nearly 100 people died in Gujiazhuang, and the news spread that your black gauze hat can't be saved!" My lord can turn a blind eye, and you should also publicize his exploits in Liuhe County, so that the people can be grateful to Dade, and it will not be in vain for my lord to protect you. ”
Deng Zhixian nodded again and again, and stuffed Li Wei with a handful of broken silver: "Xiaguan understands, Xiaguan understands, in the future, I hope that the little brother will say a few good words for me in front of the general soldiers, don't stab this matter into the court." ”
After bidding farewell to Gujiazhuang, Lin Yu continued to rush towards Nanjing with four entourages.
Li Wei turned his head and handed the silver to Lin Yu: "Hehe...... Master, the dog officer gave the villain a handful of silver and came to hand it over. ”
Lin Yu stretched out his hand and burst a chestnut on the door of Li Wei's brain: "This official has no money to reward you for the time being, so you can keep it for yourself!" But this official wants to warn you that not all money will be received in the future, and I hope you must keep it in mind! ”
Li Wei blinked: "I don't take any money from the people, don't give up the money of corrupt officials, and use it to help the people." ”
