In the city lord's mansion in the port of Zhancheng, Ruan Minh Fang was looking through the documents sent by the bureaucrats below with some annoyance. Since he became www.biquge.info the lord of Zhancheng Port, he has been buried by these complicated documents every day, but in fact, there are not many things to say, it is nothing more than that the peasants here secretly opened the hidden fields, and there are people who secretly go to the Oriental Port to smuggle luxury. Most of the officials who came with him were originally for money, thinking that in order to snatch this position, they couldn't ask their grandfather to sue their grandmother, and even staged a full martial arts in the official department, and after many confrontations, they got the opportunity to come to Champa Port to make a lot of money, but when they came to Champa Port with him, they knew what it meant to steal chickens and not lose a handful of rice.

Naturally, this group of bureaucrats who came with the mentality of making a fortune were not willing to accept their fate like this, let alone say anything about "serving the people," so they had no choice but to dig holes in the mountains and find ways to make money. You know, they spent a lot of money to honor their current position, and now they have to get their book back first, right?

So some of them encouraged the poor to forcibly occupy the real estate of the wealthy merchants who had left Champa Port, and anyway, they took the money but could not take the land with them, and fled from Champa Port as rebels, so the land they left behind naturally became a feast for these bureaucrats to divide up.

In addition, these people's profit-seeking posture is far better than that of ordinary merchants, and it is naturally impossible not to be affected by the nearby Oriental Port when they stay in the port of Champong for a long time. The high-quality and inexpensive Dongfang port products are now the most sought-after goods in the inland cities of Annam, not to mention more, just a bundle of needles for four coins of silver, there are more than 20 sticks, each of which is fine, and it can be sold for at least one dollar when sold in the inland cities. Not to mention the cool oil, toilet water and other goods, although the price of this group of people in the Oriental Port is quite cheap, but it does not stop this group of mercenary "merchants" from making a lot of money, and now a small bag of cool oil can be sold for one or two silver in Hue.

The problem is that after the Champa Port Rebellion, Nguyen Minh Phuong had already claimed that the wealthy merchants and new troops of Annam entrenched near Beiqiaotou Town were rebels and rebels, so Beiqiaotou Town and Dongfang Port were already enemy countries, and the Xiang army of Champa Port had blocked the bridge across the boundary river at this time, prohibiting anyone from crossing the bridge between Champa Port and Beiqiaotou Town. However, since ancient times, there have been policies and countermeasures, and this truth is common in all countries. At this time, there was no one stationed at the bridge from top to bottom who did not participate in the smuggling of goods, and now it is customary for the generals of the entire Champa Port to be stationed on the opposite side of the river in Beiqiaotou Town, and it is also customary for them to fight for it. They did not directly smuggle people, but they smuggled back and forth by the border merchants of Annam who worked in Beiqiaotou Town under the covert authorization of bureaucrats at all levels brought in by Nguyen Minh Fang.

Of course, the Oriental Port was aware of the situation, but they had no idea of blocking this smuggling route. You must know that Dongfang Port is fundamentally a commercial material production place, and what is needed is to sell it in large quantities, exchange it for silver, and then use silver to buy various production raw materials, and then expand production. Since the smuggling channel in Beiqiaotou Town can sell such a large amount of Dongfang Port property, not only can they not block this smuggling route, but they also find a way to open the channel, and even send special ships to assist in transporting materials directly from Beiqiaotou Town to Zhancheng Port.

But Nguyen Minh Phuong hated this, and the port of Champa was a trading port, and what he wanted was a transaction tax to earn money. Last year, when the southern barbarians invaded the north, the port of Champa destroyed the harbor in desperation to prevent it from being directly used by the Medenor to finance the barbarians, so the entire port is still in a state of paralysis. When the princess left, she transferred the money to Dongfang Port too cleanly, and the entire princess's mansion also found more than ten taels of silver, which was a drop in the bucket for the huge project of dredging the waterway. Although I heard that the emperor will allocate some silver to rebuild the port of Zhancheng, but the money has not yet arrived, it is equivalent to nothing, not to mention that although the money is allocated from the inner treasury, everyone who has handled the matter of three points of fat knows that 100,000 taels of silver to the port of Zhancheng can get 60,000 yuan is already a conscience price, and there are dozens of officials of all sizes below to share the money, if there is a 120,000 taels of silver to be used to dredge the waterway, it is already luck.

However, depressed is depressed, this money is a charcoal in the snow, and now Zhanchenggang is counting on this money to hang his life. Although the rank of this group of officials under his command is much lower than his own, who is not a variety of relationships? Although the smuggling phenomenon in Champong Port is becoming more and more intense at this stage, the government has not been able to get a single copper benefit. At that time, when they were appointed by the six ministries to come to Champa Port to take office, they made a speech, saying that they would definitely manage Champa Port well, not only how much tax revenue could be provided to the state treasury in a year, but also not need to pay salaries from the imperial court. At present, they have not received any money for several months, and if they don't pay it for a year, it will be no problem, but now they have no gray income at all in this Champa port, which is only poor and muddy, and if they don't smuggle, let alone live a comfortable life before, even eating is a problem. Therefore, now these officials below, even Ruan Minh Fang himself have stood on the opposite side of themselves and began to smuggle upside down.

He looked at the documents in his hand, and it was nothing more than saying that this official asked his subordinates to seize the land, and that official was engaged in smuggling one day, which was nothing more than a means for his subordinates to attack each other. After all, there is a lot of money from smuggling, and everywhere in the world is not a small number but an uneven situation, who doesn't look at the money that others take more? Of course, there is no shortage of things that make stumbling blocks in secret. But now no matter who has a clean butt, even Ruan Mingfang, the mastermind of Champa Port, so until now, I don't know how many bricks have been lost, but not a single official has been knocked down, all of them are raised high and gently put down.

"My lord! My lord! A servant ran in quickly, Ruan Mingfang had just picked up the mark teacup on the table and hurriedly put it down, "Why are you so flustered?" ”

"My lord! A father-in-law came to the door, who came to pass on the emperor's message. The servant hurriedly said, Ruan Mingfang has been in a bad mood during this time, if he doesn't make it clear, the mug he put down just now will fall on his head.

"Word of mouth?" Ruan Mingfang was stunned, but he didn't dare to delay time, and hurriedly ran out of the gate along the road and greeted the father-in-law at the door.

However, the father-in-law who passed on the oracle was obviously a middle and old hand, and the dictation was no better than the holy decree, although the effect was the same. But the holy decree can be withheld and not given, so that the other party can only take it after spending money. But if you pass on the oracle, people will move their mouths and lift the sedan chair, even if it passes, not to mention that all of these officials are good at talking lotus. It took me more than ten days to get here from Hue, in order to pay the filial piety of the bureaucrats below when the decree was announced. So although he kept smiling, he just didn't say a word.

Ruan Mingfang didn't know what he was thinking, and secretly scolded the old fox in his heart, but he had to obey these unspoken rules, so he had to let someone take fifty taels of silver out of the house, hold his hands above his head and kneel down and said: "Weichen is here to wait for the emperor's dictation, this little gift is to show that the official is grateful to his father-in-law for sleeping in the open and coming to pass the message, hard work, and please ask my father-in-law to smile." ”

Although this eunuch was slightly dissatisfied with the filial piety of the fifty taels, he thought that the merits of the others were gone, and the rewards were also in vain, so he was more depressed, so he passed on the emperor's dictation immediately.

The emperor's dictation made Ruan Mingfang's heart like ashes, and at the beginning he was still counting on the emperor's reward, and even arranged how to spend the bounty, but as soon as the emperor's golden mouth opened, it was all gone. There are only 100,000 taels left in the inner treasury, but I don't know how many tens of thousands of taels can be left in my own hands, and there are so many things to do at the moment, where is it enough? What's more, the emperor also gave a clear order that the new army in Zhanchenggang is not a rebel, but a loyal and good general, so how should he calculate? Is it a criminal and a thief? Now there are more than 100 captives in the prisoner camp, and now if they are all released according to the emperor's will? So how will you sit in the future? Is it a persecution of loyal ministers and good generals? So if people write themselves into the play in the future, they must not be a white-faced traitor?

Walking back to the room, he paced back and forth in the flower hall for several times, thought for a while, and finally made a decision, and immediately called a personal soldier and gave a few orders. The soldier's face changed suddenly, but he could only nod again and again, and then went out and left. "Someone! A banquet was held here to entertain my father-in-law. ”

In the camp, the prisoners were winding in the open area separated by wooden planks, all of them skinny and weak, and none of them wanted to move around, and they all wanted to save some strength and wait for lunch to grab more to eat. A few of the slightly more clever prisoners saw something different, there had never been so many guards watching the wind before. At present, in addition to the sixty or seventy forbidden soldiers holding bows and arrows in the hands of the walled wall, from the gap in the wooden wall, you can also see that the forbidden army is pushing two cannons towards this side, and the forbidden army following next to them is holding powder barrels and cannonballs in their hands. There were also quite a few people carrying buckets, which were sticky and looked like oil.

"Why kill them before eating?" A general of the forbidden army was full of doubts, "This is going to die, let them have a full meal, it's all like this, it can really be blown down by the wind." ”

"No," said the herald's own soldiers, "Lord Nguyen has an order, he must kill them all before eating, and then burn the entire barracks." ”

"Why is it so urgent? Not really, right? Besides, this military camp is not badly built, but it would be a pity if it burned down, right? ”

The soldiers hurriedly came over and said, "My lord, there is a holy decree coming today, to release these prisoners, Lord Ruan said that if they are all released, we will be rebellious ministers and thieves in the future." I'd rather kill and burn them to death than let them go, so it's a big deal to tell my father-in-law that the barracks are on fire, and we can't save them. But if they are released, the rebels of the new army will become loyal ministers and good generals as the emperor said, and we must force them to rebel, so that we can get credit. ”

Suddenly, there was a burst of women's screams outside, and it turned out that several women who were prostitutes in the camp had discovered the clue and were shouting loudly, telling their relatives in the camp to flee quickly.

"Kill them all!" A small colonel hurriedly shouted loudly, and several of his forbidden soldiers were stunned for a moment, but they all drew their knives and approached these women. The women looked in horror at the approaching of these forbidden soldiers who had vented their beastly desires on themselves in the past, and they were all discouraged.

At the same time, suddenly there was a commotion from the military camp to the north.

"What happened?" The general of the forbidden army couldn't help but be stunned, and shouted at the wall, "What happened? At that moment, a burst of gunfire rang out outside the wall.

The general's heart shook, this voice is very familiar to him, a few months ago when the city and port rebellion, the other party was only a hundred people, and they used such a platoon of guns to beat their own people who couldn't get close at all, and now the platoon guns that sounded again were not setting off firecrackers, and shouted at the moment, "Enemy attack!" Get ready to meet the enemy! ”

============================= divider =============================

Ten minutes ago, the troops of the 3rd Company of the Army were opening the way in front, and the blue combat uniforms they were wearing were far less bright than the red combat uniforms of the New Army, and if they opened the road in the front, they attracted much less attention, not to mention that there were special combat personnel of the special reconnaissance team in the front to guide the direction and leave marks. Because later on, all the soldiers were excited. At the back of the team, followed by an automatic lumberjack, it was knocking down the trees along the way, carving a path out of the forest, and all the trees that had been cut down had their branches and leaves removed, sawed into parts of about the same length, and paved on the road behind them. Behind it, followed by the Apocalypse Tank.

Beiwei personally led a training detachment of the special reconnaissance team to open the way in front, the Yangmuqin detachment crossed the river this morning to clear the Annan observation post on the river beach, and now it is still remaining by the pontoon bridge to protect the retreat channel, and the He Asian Games detachment is still protecting the construction of the Bunker Hill base. Although the special investigation team has been expanding, it is not easy to recruit elite soldiers from malnourished peasants in recent years, so the development of the special investigation team is still slow.

After marching in the woods for more than an hour, the troops had already marched into the vicinity of the prisoner camp, and Yuan Zhenli, who had come with them, was carrying his quadcopter. Although the Senate's industrial system can now provide fuel, the quality of the fuel is not good, so the fuel used by his quadcopter is basically from the old time and space.

They originally planned to take advantage of the darkness to reach a distance of 100 meters, then use machine guns to suppress the wall, artillery bombardment of the wall, and then use the special reconnaissance team to lead the team to break into the barracks to suppress the artillery, and then build a defense around the wall, and finally rescue all the prisoners. However, the situation is becoming more and more worrying, the enemy on the periphery of the prisoner camp is not only fully armed, but also carries out cannons, and the muzzle of the cannon is pointed at the prisoner camp. This was completely different from what the previous reconnaissance had seen, and as soon as several officers analyzed it, this posture seemed to be about to slaughter the prisoners of war, and they decided to start the assault immediately without further ado.
