Chapter 311: Action
Although Jianzhou City is a poor place, not everyone is poor, the real poor are those who have no power and no relationship, as for those who are powerful, some are even richer than the rich people in Chang'an City. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Governor Shi Zeng Aman is such a person, Zeng Aman is not a Han people, but a barbarian, although the barbarian strength is not strong, the reputation is not obvious, but the history is long, it is said that in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, their ancestors have lived in the mountains of the Mingui generation, but unfortunately, because the barbarians are quite xenophobic, rarely communicate with the outside world, the development is very backward, until the time of the Three Kingdoms, when Wu vigorously developed the south of the Yangtze River, they slowly came into contact with the relatively advanced civilization of China, and gradually evolved from the primitive tribal system to the feudal slave system.
With the development of the south of the Yangtze River, the barbarian tribes and the Han people came into contact more and more frequently, and finally some barbarians gradually came out of the mountains under the influence of the Han people, learning from the Han people, establishing villages and towns on the flat land, from hunting and picking for a living, and gradually began to plant crops like the Han people.
With the passage of time, the barbarians gradually divided into three categories, one is like the Han people, living in the plains, planting crops of the ripe barbarians, the other is the living barbarians who continue to live in the mountains, do not go down the mountain after death, hunting, picking for a living, and the other is very different from these two barbarians, neither need to hunt, pick nor grow crops, but rely on robbery to make a living, this kind of barbarians is called barbarians, and this kind of barbarism is also the most hated person by all Han people and barbarians.
Zeng Aman is the kind of familiar man who lives under the mountain, not only him, from his ancestors many generations ago is the familiar man who has been obedient to the Han people, I have to say, the Zeng family is still quite smart, he knows very well who has the thickest thighs, who should be closer to, so, whether it is the Southern Dynasty or the later Sui and Tang dynasties, no matter who is the emperor, the Zeng family is very close to the government, and those Han officials do not like to deal with these barbarians, there is such a good person as the Zeng family to communicate, they also feel very worry-free and effortless.
In this way, relying on the struggle of several generations, the Zeng family has also created a great reputation in Jianzhou, whether it is Han or barbarian, as long as there is something to find the Zeng family, there is nothing that cannot be solved.
This situation knows that when Zeng Aman was in this situation, the Zeng family reached the peak, and it was by relying on the name laid by his ancestors that Zeng Aman built the entire Jianzhou land into an iron bucket, and the assassins who came from the past dynasties were either forced away by him, or became a puppet like a mud fetus bodhisattva like Liu Tingshi.
Of course, this Zeng Aman is not a stupid person, he also knows that even if he builds the entire Jianzhou like an iron bucket, he is still vulnerable in the face of the powerful Tang army, so as long as it is an order issued by the imperial court, he has always done his best to implement it, and it is precisely like this, for what he is doing in the construction, the imperial court will turn a blind eye, otherwise, with his several times to force the imperial court to leave the construction, the imperial army would have come a long time ago.
Because the city is located in the south, because of the topography, the city built is not like the north, wide open and boxy, but crooked, and the place is narrow, but even so, in the eastern part of the entire Jianzhou City, there is a place of tens of acres in size, and a magnificent mansion has been built, which is even comparable to those famous viewing places.
As long as the people of Jianzhou know that this is not the Assassin's Mansion, nor is it the residence of any royal relatives and family members, but the residence of Shi Zeng Aman, the mayor of Jianzhou, just from the door of this mansion, it can be seen how majestic and domineering Zeng Aman is in Jianzhou, and how rich the Zeng family is.
"Ah Gong, will it cause any trouble to keep those disaster victims out like this, after all, it is an order issued by the imperial court to let them come to eat, and if we disobey the order of the imperial court like this, will the imperial court send troops to recruit us."
In the palatial Zeng family compound, Zeng Aman, who has gray hair, is lying on a beard, with his head resting on the lap of a maid, opening his mouth from time to time to swallow a mouthful, and the fruit that the maid puts on his mouth is basking in the sun comfortably, and lazily listening to the question of a young man next to him on the other side.
"Oh, tell me first, what do you think, do you think the army of the imperial court will come to conquer us." Hearing the young man's question, Zeng Aman did not answer, but asked rhetorically.
"This ......"
For Zeng Aman's rhetorical question, the young man was a little stunned, and thought for a long time before replying, "This..... Probably not, I believe Ah Gong, if the imperial court will send troops to recruit us, you will definitely not do this, are you right? ”
"Hmm...... Hahaha, hahahaha......."
"Okay, good, good, it seems that my Zeng family is really a successor, people say that a certain is an old fox, today a certain found out, my grandson is a little fox, since you answered correctly, then a certain is testing you, you say, why we turned away those disaster victims, but the court will not send a large army to conquer us." Seeing the young man's clever answer, Zeng Aman not only did not get angry, but laughed very proudly.
"This ..... My grandson once thought about it, and my grandfather also said that over the years, the court has been in constant party contention, the court is also chaotic, and the border is not clean, and the country is also full of natural disasters, Datang looks very strong, but it is barely supported, if it is not necessary, it will definitely not be rash, so as long as we don't go too far, and don't completely provoke the Tang court, the Tang court will not put us in our eyes, let alone send a large army to conquer us, but I don't understand why Ah Gong did such a thing, Didn't those victims just ask for a bite to eat, although we are not rich in Jianzhou, we still have this bit of food, why can't we send them some, anyway, the imperial court will also reduce or exempt it in taxes, we have never suffered a loss. The young man said.
Hearing the young man's words, Zeng Aman was still very happy, but when he heard the latter words, the smile on his face was completely retracted, and he said with a solemn face: "Grandson, do you know that there are some things in this world that can be made, and some things cannot be allowed, just like the power in this hand, when you have it, ten thousand people praise it, and everyone wants to kneel on the ground and lick your shoes, but if you suddenly have no rights, those who praise you will treat you as shit on the street, far away from you, I'm afraid of getting a bad smell. ”
"But, Ah Gong, what does this have to do with you not letting those victims into the city?" Regarding Zeng Aman's irrelevant words, the young man was quite puzzled.
"Hehehe, what's the relationship, tell me, our Zeng family can now become the uncrowned king of this Jianzhou City, what does it depend on, or what is our foundation." Zeng Aman asked.
"Of course, it's the strength of our Zeng family." The young man blurted out this question without thinking.
"Strength, yes, to be exact, our Zeng family has everything today, relying on the support of the barbarians, it is with the support of the barbarians, we can suppress the Han people, have today's status and achievements, but if more than 5,000 Han people suddenly come to this Jianzhou City, how can we suppress the Han people, can't suppress the Han people, how can we continue to be the uncrowned king of this Jianzhou City, so, this kind of fundamental thing to cut off my Zeng family, even if there is a big hidden danger, he must be strangled, otherwise, it will definitely become a disaster for my Zeng family in the future." Zeng Aman said in the end, his tone had become quite stern, and his body was straight.
"Yes, my grandson has been taught, and I will definitely not let this happen in the future." The young man replied respectfully.
Just as Zeng Aman's young man was discussing, a man in barbarian clothes ran over, and shouted far away from them, "Good news, good news, Lang Jun, Xiao Lang Jun, the Lan battalion commander who had just defended the city came to spread the word that the disaster victims gathered outside the city had disappeared and were probably gone elsewhere, could you please open the city gate now." ”
Hearing the man's words, Zeng Aman showed a smile on his face, and after glancing at his grandson beside him, he instructed the man, "Tell the battalion commander Lan that I don't know if the group of disaster victims will come over, let him just open the east gate, and be cautious, and send someone to tell us the news, so that he is also happy, and the province has a sad face all day long, just like the dead grandmother, which makes people look uncomfortable." ”
.............................................
In November, both north and south, have entered the coldest time of the year, although Jianzhou is located in the south, not like the north, the cold wind, but the kind of cool breeze like a ghost blowing, the same unbearable, even this cold weather, people are even more unbearable.
In the middle of the night, it stands to reason that this time is the coldest time of the day, people are all hiding in the warm quilt to sleep, even homeless beggars, will hide in a sheltered place, find some thatch to spend the night, but it is at this time, outside the city, but there is a group of figures constantly shaking, from that figure, there are still a lot of people, in the dim starlight, it looks very strange, if there are people who do not know the situation passing by here, maybe they will think that they have encountered a group of ghosts gathering, Scare will also scare them half to death.
"Brothers, how are we prepared, this time we must succeed no matter what, not even if we die, we must also take Jianzhou City, if nothing else, just for the five thousand villagers behind us to live, for our grandmother and boy not to be starved to death, we also want to succeed, so, when we do it for a while, no one should be soft, who dares to run away or mess around, someone's you, this knife in someone's hand doesn't recognize you."
At this moment, it was no one else who appeared outside Jianzhou City, it was the northern disaster victims who were ordered by Zeng Aman to be turned away, led by Ma Cao, although Ma Cao at this time was a little weak because of hunger, but his spirit was very powerful, especially when he pulled out the war knife that had been following him from his waist and was reluctant to discard even when he fled, it was like the god of war descending to earth, so that the men who were full of apprehension around him also seemed excited.
"Da Lang, don't worry, at this point, starvation is death, death in battle is death, and it is better to be able to die in a vigorous battle than to starve to death." A middle-aged man spoke.
Hearing the middle-aged man's words, Ma Cao nodded, and asked another person, "Tietou, have you figured out the situation in the city, how many officers and soldiers are in the city, and where they are, you can remember them all." ”
"Brother Lang, you can rest assured, although I have not read the book, but this memory is not bad, I and the pillar they yesterday, have figured out all the officers and soldiers in the city, the entire Jianzhou City, a total of 500 government soldiers, and the county government and the assassin's office together have more than 400 people, those officials except for a good part of the people in the yamen at night, most of the rest have gone home, but those government soldiers, in addition to each city wall has thirty people on duty, The rest will live in the barracks in the North City. The little man who was called the iron head by the hemp grass said.
"Good"
After Tietou finished speaking, Ma Cao praised him, and then raised his head and said to the people around him, "You all heard Tietou's words just now, although there are less than 1,000 officers and soldiers in Jianzhou City, and we have more than 1,000 people here, it seems that there are more than them, but you also know that we are all untrained people, and we don't even have weapons in our hands, therefore, our actions tonight have only two characteristics, one is concealment, the other is fast, after we break into the city and open the city gate, all the people who enter the city, All of you take your respective subordinates, follow the guidance of the iron head to the barracks to gather, only by defeating the officers and soldiers in that barracks, we can take Jianzhou City, everyone understands. ”
"Da Lang, don't worry, you've been talking about this plan for two days, and everyone won't dare to forget it even if they dream, so don't worry." A man said.
After everything behind him was arranged, Ma Cao took more than a hundred figures behind him, prostrate on the ground, and quietly crawled towards the city wall of Jianzhou City.
The only fortunate thing is that tonight is a moonless, starlight dim night, in addition to the defenders of Jianzhou City is not a special soldier, at this time, except for one person standing at the head of the city to take a nap, the rest of the people are hiding in the city tower and sleeping soundly, no one thought that anyone would dare to sneak attack Jianzhou City tonight.
After a difficult crawl, the weak and sweaty Ma Cao and others finally climbed to the bottom of Jianzhou City, looking at the Jianzhou City Wall that was only three zhang high, Ma Cao's heart beat violently, not afraid, but excited.
