Unlike most so-called villains, Zhang Xiangjie's friendship with this Lord Lu is not the same as ever. In the decaying officialdom of the late Ming Dynasty, it can be regarded as a clear stream

Lord Lu's real name is Lu Junshu, and he explained it himself, that is, Junran Shuren, handsome and chic, honest and selfless. As his name suggests, he has good facial features, delicate eyebrows, is informal, loves to drink, and has a temperament like Mr. Wuliu, "both drunk and retreated, and once did not hesitate to stay". Naturally, no one in the officialdom likes him, if it weren't for his meritorious work in killing the enemy, even this small guard house would not be able to keep it.

This Zhang Xiangjie is such a fourth-grade official, how could he have an affair with a small fifth-grade thousand households?

This has to be from a few years ago when Zhang Xiangjie just came to Suzhou. encountered a group of homeless people on the road, probably bullied by corrupt officials, and beat Zhang Xiangjie's frame when he looked at it. Zhang Xiangjie was a newcomer, and there were not many people with him, and there were only his own family and four or five dingfu and six or seven maids on the carriage. Just when Zhang Xiangjie was arrested by the homeless people and was about to sacrifice to heaven and earth to correct the law, Lu Junshu took people to pass by on business, so he saved Zhang Xiangjie's family by the way.

At first, Lu Junshu didn't know that the person he rescued was the Sipin Tongzhi of the Du Salt Envoy Division, so he simply remembered his name and escorted Zhang Xiangjie's family to Suzhou City.

As mentioned above, Zhang Xiangjie was born poor, and it is not easy to mix to the level of stability in the officialdom, and Zhang Xiangjie has also developed the habit of observing people. Seeing that this person's behavior was uninhibited, it aroused a residual sense of justice in Zhang Xiangjie's heart.

On the day of his inauguration, he made a statement. Suzhou Xiaoxiao took a look at it, Lu Junshu's background was so deep, and he actually fell in love with the four-grade officials, and for a while, Suzhou Weida Camp was full of traffic, and Lu Junshu's soldiers gradually became more comfortable.

Lu Junshu is a little rough in his behavior, but he is also a clear-eyed person, and he will not be good enough to take it, so he will laugh and accept it one by one, and every festival, he also specially invites Zhang Xiangjie to drink with him, talk about some heroic ambitions, and sigh about the darkness of officialdom.

After all, Lu Junshu didn't obey orders very much, and the armaments were lax at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and no one was held accountable for marching in the place where he was stationed.

As long as Zhang Xiangjie beckons, Lu Junshu will pull hundreds of ten big-headed soldiers, follow Zhang Xiangjie's strong and mighty power, if you have asked, it is called "take turns to practice".

This trick has been tried and tested repeatedly, but Zhang Xiangjie also knows the measure, and the radish is a stick, which makes a group of people in Suzhou obey him. Of course, excluding Zhang Xiangjie's superiors, they all transported the salt envoy himself.

This time, Zhang Xiangjie came to ask for help, but this time it was not aimed at other people in Suzhou, not at all the people of the Ming Dynasty, but at the enemy from the sea-Haikou.

If Zhang Xiangjie guessed correctly, there are people behind this group of pirates, and they may not be ordinary people, and this person has a great connection with a team of Oriental businessmen who came a few days ago, but unfortunately Zhang Xiangjie's ability is limited, and there are no more overseas information sources, so that's all he can think of.

"Eight hundred? No, no, no! In a school field in the barracks, a sweaty man was waving his left hand, and the person opposite was Zhang Xiangjie, "Lord Zhang, Lao Lu, it's not that I don't want to help you, usually one or two hundred people run away, these eight hundred people are transferred, not to mention that there is no military department to transfer orders, whether or not eight hundred can be sent is a problem!" ”

Zhang Xiangjie knew that what Lu Junshu said was right, there were thousands of households in the Ming Dynasty's guard office, and there were only more than 1,000 officers and soldiers under its jurisdiction, and the incident of grassroots officers eating empty salaries happened from time to time, and it was really far-fetched to make up 800.

But Zhang Xiangjie is not a fool, it is impossible not to know the actual situation, the reason why he knowingly asked is because he has already walked into a swamp, and he can't get out without using extraordinary means.

Since the last time he was extorted by Haikou for the crime of smuggling smuggled salt, bad things have come one after another, and his mistakes made by Zhang Xiangjie for a moment of mistake have become the handle of Haikou to constantly demand returns, and when he refused to pay, Haikou threatened the lives of local villagers.

"Whose life doesn't matter, I only know that it is a felony to resell illicit salt." This is the reply that Zhang Xiangjie received when he went to ask Cheng Lin for help to transport salt.

Zhang Xiangjie felt that he was one of the few people in the officialdom who had not lost his conscience, and he would not be willing to use the lives of villagers to get anything.

So he could only meet the requirements of the Haikou again and again, but the Haikou was like a glutton, he couldn't feed it no matter how he fed it, he kept feeding, he kept asking, and his appetite was getting bigger and bigger. This is also Zhang Xiangjie's strange point, if there is no one behind these pirates, then who will help them swallow such a large batch of goods, at least, with Zhang Xiangjie's current relationship, they can't swallow it.

"Eight hundred, just eight hundred, even if you make it, you have to make it for me!" Zhang Xiangjie's tone trembled a little, and he was also a little angry.

Lu Junshu was taken aback, this was the first time since the two met, Zhang Xiangjie spoke to himself in this tone, coupled with Zhang Xiangjie's expression of not giving up if he did not achieve his goal, Lu Junshu realized that things were not simple.

"The old, the weak, the sick and the disabled?"

"Yes!"

"Do you want a handyman?"

"Yes! Guys want it! ”

Lu Junshu was shocked by Zhang Xiangjie's hysterical yell, and knocked on the wooden fence next to the school field with his thick arms.

"Okay, you can rest assured."

A simple sentence seems to calm Zhang Xiangjie down, somehow, every time Lu Junshu says this, Zhang Xiangjie will be very relieved, just like before, as if everything will help him settle down.

Death for a confidant!
