"Master Ma is angry." The four-rank commander bowed to Ma Chaoren instead, and Li Guohua said in a loud voice: "It's not a matter of apportioning the post station envoy fee, the commander is apportioning five hundred taels to your chamber of commerce, and your chamber of commerce is only willing to pay eighty taels, this number is too different, and the commander feels that he can't save face......

"Fart." Ma Chaoren said angrily: "He thinks he is the magistrate? Tianchengwei is only a post station in the territory, and it is not a place to rush, there are not many officials in the past, there are less than 30 post horses, 100,000 bundles of straw a year are too much, beans and miscellaneous expenses support three or five hundred taels, the imperial court has allocated funds, and the extra expenses are less than two hundred at most, he has apportioned everywhere in Weizhong, and hundreds of taels have been levied, and our chamber of commerce has taken eighty taels to give him this command face. ”

Under the anger of Ma Chaoren, Li Guohua, who is only in charge of the miscellaneous affairs of the guard Tuntian, must have nothing to say back, one guard and one palm print command, two know the same, two affairs, each performing its own duties, there are those who are in charge of the training of the class, there are those who are in charge of the tuntian, there are those who are in charge of storage, and there are also those who are in charge of the post pass, only the palm print is in charge of everything, of course, all the black pots are also palm prints to carry back.

In fact, when Zhang Wuchang was in office, the post station also lost money, just casually scavenged some and made up for it, like the new Commander Zheng, it is very rare for a conductor to think of becoming a fat man in one bite, and he is indeed a little too greedy.

Jiang Dalin was vigilant and said: "Commander Zheng is also from a family of generals for many years, so he will not be unreasonable, and now this kind of practice does not seem to be to search for others, but to come to our Chamber of Commerce." ”

Zhang Yanhong also said: "It's indeed an elephant, I'm afraid this guy is trying to tie up Han Qi and do it deliberately." ”

"Idiot." Ma Chaodao: "Let's go find him." ”

Commander Zheng has indeed just taken office, and he only knows that the existence of the Chamber of Commerce is a guild composed of rich businessmen and sellers, and this thing is actually found in various parts of the Ming Dynasty, but the scale is not large, and there is no standardization, Commander Zheng only thinks that it is still the kind of guild organization he has heard of before.

Another is the merchant group, in Commander Zheng's view, the Weisuo Army is of course a soy sauce party, and the regimental training is the same, everyone is each other, this time against the northern captives, Tianchengwei did not send troops at all, all the forces that can be drawn were placed in the acropolis by Commander Zheng, and he didn't know anything about the situation outside the city.

In this way, how to mobilize and assemble the merchant group, and how powerful the force is, this commander is also completely ignorant.

Jiang Dalin said: "What should I do here with the Chamber of Commerce, there is a lot of silver and inventory in it, and the rebels want to go in......"

"Can't get in." Ma Chaoren's eyes showed a fierce light and said: "There are two merchant soldiers in it, they want to go in and dream." ”

"Would you like to give me an order?"

"Not necessarily." Ma Chaoren pondered for a moment and said, "The leader of the business group is always Li Laibin, and he is not a vegetarian. This person was trained by Zhang Inspector, he is old and steady, and he will not fail. ”

……

Ma Chaoren and the others ran into a wall, Commander Zheng didn't see them at all, and then the three of them turned back to the merchant group and found that the number of guards around the door was more.

There were also a lot of onlookers in the surrounding street markets, and as soon as this incident happened, it was equivalent to a strong dragon about to hit the head snake on the ground, causing an uproar.

"Somehow, something suddenly occurred to me." Ma Chaoren was not depressed, he suddenly smiled: "A few years ago, we were embarrassed and Yusheng's branch to collect grain, and we also instigated people to surround their store, and also asked the guards to go over to help, and it was vaguely like this at that time, but now the host and guest are reversed, and we are surrounded by others." ”

"At this time, you actually remembered such a thing." When Jiang Dalin heard this, he couldn't laugh or cry.

Robin Zhang also had a hint of emotion on his face, it didn't take long to now, if he hadn't chosen the wrong place, would his situation be much better now?

Robin Zhang pondered: "At that time, the store of Heyusheng's branch was very small, and the scale was simply not worth mentioning, I thought that it would be easy to drive away these foreign merchants, but it turned out to be the opposite......

"Someone is going to hit a wall again." Jiang Dalin did not have the mood of sadness, he was the kind of person who always looked forward, at this time, more than 100 people rushed over, and it was Zheng Commander who rode in front of him, Jiang Dalin didn't know why, he felt a little gloating.

"Let's stand back and watch." Ma Chaohumanitarian: "According to the regulations of the Chamber of Commerce, daily management is the responsibility of our council, and when there is a sudden need to use force, the general manager of the business group is responsible, and now it is no longer my business." ”

Ma Chaoren sighed, and continued: "If the person surnamed Zheng is willing to see me, in fact, I don't have to make things out of control." ”

……

After Li Laibin gave the order to open fire, the bird-gunners of the two banner teams repelled the Weisuo army with a single volley.

Since these small armies are involuntarily, they cannot be compared with the situation of the last vigilante group...... Most of these small soldiers are poor military households, and they are usually oppressed very seriously, and their lives are much more miserable than ordinary peasants, these people are all thin and weak, even if they are twenty years old, they are also malnourished, they are dressed like beggars, and the weapons in their hands are not as sharp as the fork and rake produced by Li Zhuang, such an "enemy", killing them will not add to the military exploits of their own side, and will only be condemned by conscience.

Moreover, Li Laibin also took into account that these people were not militia groups, but official guards of the imperial court, and once they killed and injured too much, even if Lord Zhang had his hands and eyes in the sky, it would be much more troublesome to deal with the aftermath.

Only one unlucky man was hit, because the bird was fired into the sky, and only one stray bullet hit one of the unlucky ghosts, and after he let out a lament and wail, hundreds of guards lost their rags and began to scatter and flee.

Li Guohua, the conductor, also ran away, leaving only Commander Zheng and his family of less than 20 people.

"How so?" Commander Zheng looked shocked and couldn't believe it, a group of guards raised by merchants actually dared to open fire on the imperial court officials and officers and soldiers, they were not bandits or thieves, how could a businessman who had always been weak and timid have such courage?

Although Commander Zheng is a general, he has been serving in Jinnan in recent years, and it is obvious that he has no idea what the situation is in Datong.

"Are you going to rebel?" Commander Zheng mustered up the last courage and shouted in the direction where Li Laibin and the other obvious commanders were.

"Commander Zheng, you still have to think about how to protect your black gauze hat." Li Laibin ignored the shouts from the other side, but Ma Chaoren shouted on the side: "Openly lead troops to besiege the trading house, loot people's property, and run rampant, see how you explain!" ”

"Nonsense." Commander Zheng said angrily: "You still raise people, the government is insufficient, and the people and businessmen are not requisitioned, do you ask us to post money ourselves?" ”

"Huh? Isn't it? Commander Zheng looked around and shouted angrily, "Isn't that the truth? ”

……

"That Han Qi is incompetent and makes trouble. Even so, I won't see him when he comes, so let's leave it to dry. ”

After another period of time, especially after the last court meeting, the Apocalypse seems to have mastered some of the essence of governing the country, this time Han Qi can be described as a broken drum and ten thousand pounds, not only there are people in Datong who are impeached, the general army, and the military equipment, no one has said good things about the governor, although the governor has not been impeached, but there are no good words about the governor in the meeting.

Then the Donglin Party rose up and attacked, Yang Lian's cannon barrel fired first, and then Zuo Guangdou followed, these two people are the banner-like figures of the Donglin Party, far from the impeachment of those cats and dogs, at this time, Tianqi did not rush to make a decision, and after summoning Sun Chengzong to inquire about the reason, he finally made a will, so that Han Qi returned to Beijing to report on his work, and appointed Zheng Guochang as the new governor, and summoned His Majesty to Beijing.

"How about Zheng Guochang, I'll talk about it after I see it."

There are only regular attendants in the Wenhua Hall of Nuoda, and the Apocalypse has not summoned too much, and recently he is no longer in awe of the rituals and so-called classics that he gave lectures in the fixed Wenhua Hall as before.

Before that, the little emperor, who was less than twenty years old, was convinced of what the civil officials preached, and was full of reverence for the Confucian classics, but now the apocalypse has his own ideas in his heart.

"What the emperor said is very true." Sun Chengzong had a satisfied smile on his face, this time the fall of Han did not cause any turmoil in the court, everyone's focus was still on the matter of Liaodong, and there was little interest in the replacement of the governor of Datong, the key is that Han Qi is very good at the periphery of the Jin Party, and the Jin Party has long been finished, Zheng Guochang is not a party, there is no partisan conflict, and there is a lot less resistance invisibly.

Sun Chengzong is still very optimistic about Zheng Guochang's ability, if this person is knowledgeable and interesting, he may join the Donglin Party, but Sun Chengzong has no interest in running the party, and he will not take the initiative to meet Zheng Guochang.

"That one named Zhang Han, this time he fought against the Beiyu, and his meritorious service was not small, so let's transfer him from patrol inspection to martial arts."

Turning Zhang Han to a military officer and being promoted to an important position, this matter was raised by Liu Guojin of the Donglin Party, Tianqi didn't know much about Zhang Han, but he had a good impression of Zhang Han...... This comes from two things, the first is that Zhang Han defeated the Northern Captives, and his meritorious service was not small, and the Apocalypse still rewarded the courtiers who made actual achievements, and the emperor was not so harsh on the courtiers. In this regard, the Emperor of the Apocalypse was much kinder than his younger brother. The second point is that the Emperor of the Apocalypse encountered a lot of difficulties in the imitation of Yusheng's Western-style carriage, and there were always many unsatisfactory places in the imitation, and there were many shortcomings, he felt that Zhang Han had two shabu-shabu in the system, and there were thousands of prefectures and counties in the Ming Dynasty, not to mention such a small official as the inspection, even the emperor would not have too deep an impression on the officials of the third or fourth grade, and even the Beijing officials below the ministry, even if they often visited the court, they wanted to attract the emperor's attention among the thousands of Beijing officials and civil officials, and it was almost impossible to remember themselves. However, Zhang Han had already left a deep impression on the Emperor of the Apocalypse because of his skills in making utensils by the Apocalypse, which I am afraid Zhang Han himself could not imagine.

"For the minister, the important thing is not to listen to what he says, but to see how he does things......" After Sun Chengzong took his leave, Tianqi muttered to himself.
