Chapter 307: Confrontation
The establishment of the merchant group is the earliest to get closer to Li Zhuang, the merchant group of Lingqiu is also two divisions, each division has four bureaus, the system is very complete, and the difference with Li Zhuang is that there are fewer bird guns, and most of the old bird guns are eliminated, there are very few new guns, and there are very few establishments, a total of only four flag team bird guns, the remaining ninety percent are pikemen, and one percent of the knife players, in short, the gun formation is practiced, and the firearms are practiced more, and the number of sword soldiers is the least.
This is also related to the reality of the merchant group, the bird gun is good to practice, the spear array is the best to practice, the sword and card soldiers are the most difficult, although the members of the merchant group also have a lot of silver, but compared to Li Zhuang's archers are only one-third, normal time is still ordinary miners, they take more money to do simple training, stronger training is not yet time.
"The miners don't practice much here." A deputy officer frowned and said, "Don't underestimate the bandits too much, they ...... Well, they're not too weak either. ”
The deputy officer was once sent to the armor platform as an instructor, of course, he knew the inside story, but in front of the coachman, it was still difficult to say these words.
"The miners have little training, and the guards are still ten at a time." Lu Dafu said again: "What kind of training and courage regiment is this, it can't be stronger than the border army?" ”
Ordinary border army battalion soldiers don't practice a few times a year, and it is not necessary to fight ten, but more than 1,000 merchant soldiers pull out, and fighting more than 1,000 more than 1,000 military camp soldiers is sure to win.
"Didn't the housekeeper brother make it up with the dog day king?" The coachman was also very angry when he mentioned this, and he spat and cursed bitterly.
"That's right!" The coachman sat upright and whipped up: "There is one of their tax cards ahead, except for our and Yusheng's cars, everyone's cars are stopped." Recently, they have become bolder, and our car has been stopped several times, and the brothers of the merchant group have almost fought with them several times while escorting the iron car. ”
"Try it with Yusheng and them, and beat the out for them."
"This is really fucking fun, Lingqiu to Xinpingbao, who dares to mess with us?"
"Who is Brother Butler?"
"You forgot about the last time you were in charge of the village? The group of bastards who came to grab water with us, there are two talents in it, and they are these two brothers. ”
"I heard that it was Han Qi."
"When will Old Thief Han get out? He's got us in too much trouble. ”
"So what? As long as our adults are here, the governor is useless. ”
Everyone was talking in a row, and the carriage was also moving forward, and when it approached Lingqiu City, the villages on the side of the road gradually became dense, and some figures in a hurry appeared on the road.
Seeing the two acquaintances, Lu Dafu opened the car window and shouted happily: "Uncle Zhang, Aunt Zhang!" ”
"Hey, it's a lot of money."
Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang are Zhang Chunniu's parents, they open a small restaurant in Lingqiu City, and the business is okay, this Uncle Zhang carries a basket of vegetables and killed chickens, ducks and more than a dozen fish, obviously just out of the city to collect food.
Lu Dafu took five days of family leave last time, and that time he took a vacation with Zhang Chunniu, they are both from Lingqiu, Zhang Chunniu's family is better, and Lu Dafu has a lot of light last time.
"Uncle, aunt, come up and sit." Lu Dafu said very affectionately: "Look at this basket on my uncle's body, I'm afraid it won't weigh 100 pounds." ”
"It's not a big deal." Zhang Chunniu's father said with a smile: "We are all miserable people, when I was young, it was nothing to walk a hundred and ten miles with such a basket on my back, it was only a few steps away, you squeezed a car of people, I was very fishy in this basket, and I didn't go up." ”
At this time, everyone knew that it was the parents of the army robe, and immediately persuaded the two to get into the car, but the two old men couldn't twist these young men, so they had to put the backpack behind the car, and the two also got into the car.
After getting in the car, Lu Dafu talked about Zhang Chunniu's situation in the army, although the two old men knew that their son had been promoted to deputy officer, and after listening to Zhang Chunniu's growth in the army, they couldn't help but be very happy.
Zhang's father said: "My son is lazy, can't endure hardship, and can't stay at home, saying that he is going to recruit as an archer and earn a few dollars, we just treat him as fooling around, but in less than a year, he has sent twenty taels of silver home, and the little old man may not be able to earn it in the past year, and now he is an official, when can he go to Li Zhuang to send some wine and food to eat with Master Zhang." ”
Everyone laughed when they listened, the coachman also laughed, the vehicle continued to move forward, after a short time, the crowd gradually stagnated, the sparse flow of people became dense, here is only a few hundred steps away from Lingqiu City, the city wall is very close, as if it is in front of you, but people stopped, unable to continue to move forward.
"You have to pay the money." Father Zhang looked at it and said with a displeased face: "If you don't pay when you go out of the city, you will pay ten dollars when you enter the city, and traders like us will pay more for more goods and less for goods, but you will have to pay dozens of dollars." Now the cost of doing a lot of goods has to go up. ”
Lu Dafu said: "What kind of card is this set up by the Lian Yong General Regiment?" ”
"Exactly," Zhang's father said disdainfully: "When the bandits come, they don't dare to go out of the city, and if the bandits dare to go, they will come out and set up a card. ”
Zhang Mu said: "It's better to have a business group, the iron yard on the Lingqiu side is fine, and it all depends on the business group." ”
"Let's talk about it," Father Zhang said, "It's better to inspect Lord Zhang, and it's good to be close to him." It would be great if he came to our Lingqiu as a magistrate! ”
The vehicle continued to move forward, the crowd automatically got out of the way, everyone recognized that this was and Yusheng's manned carriage, the car was full of people from Yusheng, sometimes it was soldiers and horses, sometimes it was a shopkeeper or a man, few outsiders sat in this car, many people today saw Lao Zhang and his family sitting in the car, they all felt very strange.
Now and Yusheng style of the car has also sold a lot, but and Yusheng's body design and paint only have a single copy, sell a variety of cars, according to the customer's requirements to repaint the drawing, but people feel that it is still a simple black car like Yusheng more magnificent, feel more atmospheric.
A group of Lian Yong stood crookedly, forty or fifty people scattered around, each holding a variety of weapons in their hands, mainly iron spears and spears, this kind of thing is the most common, and it is the easiest to create, there are also some people with all kinds of sabers in their hands, and there are also iron swords, but no matter what kind of weapons they hold, these people are not standing, and their faces are full of evil spirits.
They set up a table on one side of the road, and there were seven or eight people standing in shifts in the middle of the road, and those who gave money were put away, and there were also people on both sides who shouted at those who wanted to make a detour to the road to pay the money.
And how many horses, that are also threatening people who want to run, and they can't outrun you on foot?
On the edge of the table was a large basket of half a basket of copper coins and broken silver, some of which were very finely broken, and in the basket they were placed together with the yellow copper coins, like some shining silver dust.
Guan Zhaoming and Yang Tong were sitting side by side, the two were talking about when the basket would be full, they were collecting silver money and materials in the name of the general regiment between Lingqiu and Tianchengwei for a while, Zhu Qingyu was afraid that Han Qi would not dare to take care of it, not to mention that he, the magistrate, still had the name of the head of the general regiment, and there was no way to take care of this matter.
Lingqiu made a mess for them for a while, Guan Zhaotong and Guan Zhaofu were in the name of the deputy group, they were looking for big businessmen and big households to ask for silver, and this group of people was extorting everywhere, the merchants and rich people in the township asked them to ask for it, and many people were forced to flee from Lingqiu.
Guan Zhaoyi also has a proposal, planning to blackmail people in the name of bandits, stand in a cage if they don't give money, whip and torture every day, and don't be afraid of not giving money, the rest of the people agree, but they haven't found a place to lock people up for a while!
At this time, someone came over and said to Guan Zhaoming: "It's Heyusheng's carriage and horse again, what should I do?" ”
The atmosphere became weird for a while, and someone muttered: "Everyone else accepts it, why don't they accept it." ”
Guan Zhaoming glanced at this person coldly, the meaning was very simple, he seemed to say: "You have the ability, you can collect it!" ”
The one who was Guan Zhaoming's eyes swept away, his neck shrunk, and he didn't dare to speak again.
The atmosphere became very weird, Yang Tong's eyes were red, and the beard on his chin stood up, he was a very brutal person, he had killed and injured people many times, and he was a well-known bully in the township.
Everyone stared at He Yusheng's carriage with unfriendly eyes.
How could Lu Dafu and the others be afraid, the eight soldiers all got out of the car and looked at them viciously.
"You eight people and the carriage can pass," Yang Tong suddenly stood up, pointed to the Zhang family and his wife, and said, "These two people can't do it, they are not from Yusheng." ”
"You say no, no?" Lu Dafu choked back and said: "This is the parents of our Li Zhuang archer, and they are the people who take our car and Yusheng!" ”
"Nope." Yang Tong's eyes were red, and he stared at Lu Dafu and said, "Letting you go is to give you face." ”
Lu Dafu said: "Discussing with you is also to save face, don't give face and can't catch it!" ”
Both sides were full of gunpowder, Yang Tong couldn't hold back his anger, and drew his knife and said: "Then you can also pay the money and then pass!" ”
Among the eight people, there was a deputy officer, but Lu Dafu jumped up and down the most, and the deputy officer was a soldier, pulled out his saber, and shouted angrily: "Come and try it!" ”
The people around were busy dodging, and both sides were fierce, and everyone was afraid of harming the pond fish.
The city is not far away, and there are many people who see the situation here, some people start to run down, that is the practice of the general regiment, and some people quietly run to the branch of He Yusheng in the city to report the news.
"Hit!"
Guan Zhaoming knew that it was shrinking at this time, and it would be difficult to set up a card to collect money in the future, although it was not a good thing to offend He Yusheng in this way, but when it came to the end, people just had to fight for such a breath, which was something that could not be helped.
Dozens of people immediately hugged forward, these people said that they were practicing bravery, but they hadn't even practiced a fart, of course they had no rules, dozens of people were close to the first shout, and then the people behind hugged up, and they felt that there were more people before they really rushed up.
