The so-called "hegemony Dingtu people go to the end, and come alone to melancholy in the water and clouds"

Wu Renliu was a minor official under the former Jiangning Prefecture, and in Jiangning Town, a powerful feudal domain in the south of the Yangtze River, he could only be regarded as a member of the many insignificant grassroots people who constituted the basic ruling and administrative system of Fuzhou and County

However, as a remnant of the most literary area in the former Jiangzuo region, the people here are more civilized and literate, and even in the year of famine, the standard of living of most people in the city is higher than the average in other regions, thanks to the output of local handicrafts and the benefits of trade and trade backed by the river.

The predecessor of the Ming Duke, although he has been dead for many years and has a mixed reputation, but at least in the decades under his governance, he has left a group of relatively good administrative foundations and grassroots personnel with simple education to Jiangning.

Wu Renliu, who was born in the market, is one of the beneficiaries, at least he can chant a few miscellaneous feelings when he is drunk......

His position is to work with five other colleagues, responsible for the management of the picture file books in Huilongqiaofang City, although he is a poster who has no arguments, but the meager salary of the public and the powdered routine of the subordinates of the yamen, he can get a few hundred yuan a month.

Although it is a little tight to support his family, it is more than enough to support Ding Zhuang, who is a lonely family like him, and it is not a problem to drink a little wine and fish every other day, or take turns with his colleagues in an inferior restaurant, and wrap up a few days of food and lodging in a private prostitute with a half-closed door.

Moreover, no matter how the upper echelons of these feudal towns are changing, these humble and inconspicuous little people are free to have their own unique way of survival and philosophy of life.

is also an indispensable preservation, as long as they are not so unlucky to run into the military rebellion, do not hide well and are killed by the rebels, or unfortunately become the props of the new authorities' minions, basically they who have nothing to do with the overall situation, will still be retained.

After all, in order to satisfy the enjoyment and needs of the superiors, feed those who are unruly! The military leader still has to have enough grassroots manpower to drive and run errands.

Even if the military discipline is corrupt, they will not be able to rely on robbery to rob the common people every day, no, someone still has to squeeze and scrape those ordinary people for them.

This is also the practice and cognition that most of the officials at the bottom of the oven in this troubled era have survived and inherited.

It's just that this perception was suddenly broken, and now they find themselves useless, especially for those Southern Korean armies, who don't need to continue to use the manpower of these old regimes to help govern and maintain the localities, or to play the role of collecting money and grain from the household register.

They just wanted to sell all the remaining people in Jiangning City, regardless of whether they were rich or poor, men, women, old and young, as slaves for war booty, so as to get a good price.

Then they used the household registration of other places to refill this Jiangning City, so the end of their panic was coming.

It is said that after they were simply sorted outside the city according to men, women, and children, they were rewarded with labels for sale, waiting for those merchants from the Southern Dynasty to come and select and underwrite.

Spend the rest of your life as a coolie or servant in the tropical plantations of the islands of the South China Sea and in the remote and wild frontier colonies.

Countless tragic stories of wives being separated and separated from flesh and blood have been staged frequently inside and outside Jiangning City.

And Wu Renliu doesn't know how long he can continue to hide, even if he doesn't have the burden of family, but in the city that has been swept away, it is becoming more and more difficult to get the daily necessities to maintain.

After all, he is just a small official who deals with words, not some strongman who is good at walking through empty doors, and breaking down doors and climbing walls is not his forte, that is, in some houses that have been ravaged, it is just a leak that cannot be looked down on.

Suddenly, there was a faint flash of armor in the alley, which made him startled and ran away.

"Finally back......"

Han Liangchen also rode a horse with a team of guards, and slowly walked through the streets of Jiangning City in a kind of mixed feelings and heavy feelings.

But he returned home with a different state of mind, and no one cheered him or watched the streets, but all kinds of chaotic and noisy moans and wails everywhere.

And those Southern Dynasty soldiers who were congested on the road chasing for fun, or carrying out patrols, saw his banner and moved out of the way.

Of course, not only because of their unique equipment and uniforms, but also because of their reputation for fighting with their fists and feet after entering the city, because of their fierce fighting with neighboring allies and dealing with cross-border disputes.

Not only are these guns very good at killing enemies, but they also don't let others have rumors and impressions in hand-to-hand combat, which is how they were erected.

Looking at the familiar scenes and scenery where those things are people, or Yu Crisp is unrecognizable, Fang Cai's Juanjuan's instructions are still in my ears:

"You're also from a local background......

"Caring for the feelings of the countryside is a matter of course......"

When he asked to stay out of the matter on the grounds of avoiding suspicion, he replied to him like this.

"Although I am already in a different camp......"

"But if you have any old acquaintances......"

"Don't hesitate to help and pull a hand......"

"Although I can't guarantee the big picture, it can still be done if they are given a worry-free placement......

"And I really need you to do something......

"After all, you know this place somewhat......"

"By the way, let me see, among those military and civilian officials who were formerly affiliated to Jiangning, there are any suitable candidates

"It is best to be a person who is good at handling government affairs at all levels, governing localities, and even being familiar with criminal names, money, food, household registration, etc., and the daily operation of government agencies at all levels......

"It doesn't have to be limited to talented people, but people with rich experience and qualifications can also consider ......"

"And they can jointly and severally protect their families......"

"Here is the recruitment document jointly issued by the headquarters and the White Army......"

"You can take it cheap......"

"Don't be afraid to spend money if it's in the way......"

"They seek immediate gains, while we look at the long-term plan......

"Most of the time the two do not conflict with each other......"

Although this is an understatement, but even the words of governing one side have been said, what is the simple task, although I have long known that this ambitious and consistent plan is not small, but this is not a kind of spur and test for himself in disguise.

He thought so, and walked through the street without squinting, when the straight was broken by a sudden pitch-changing sound in the street.

"Han Yaqian, Han Yaqian has ever remembered Xiao Wu who led you a horse outside the east gate......"

But it was a local who was surrounded by several soldiers and was shouting, kicking, and beating, he almost struggled desperately, and shouted in this direction with all his might,

As if they had discovered something, the soldiers who were beating and tying up also stopped in amazement

Han Liangchen couldn't help sighing, he couldn't escape the past, this was the case, and he patted lightly and immediately stepped forward.

In fact, when he took the lead in leading the teaching team and fought against the Jiangning soldiers who were desperately breaking through the siege under the cover of night, the already negligible fetters were completely indifferent.

In the chaotic and noisy city of Jiangning, the only living standards that have not changed much are these painting boats on the Huai River and the courtyards on both sides of the river.

These women from the wind and moon have their own unique ways of protecting and self-healing in disguise. As soon as the generals entered the city, a group of people gathered to greet them.

Therefore, in these places, there are actually a few safe areas that have not been plundered by the Liang army entering the city, and there are few disturbances by the rebels, and even sheltered many fleeing soldiers and civilians, but that's all.

They gave up their old grievances and disputes, and joined forces to use women's unique weapons to hold up a piece of the sky for this despicable business, certainly not for the sake of doing good deeds.

In the words of a former red-carded elder sister, as a woman's family, what we can rely on is just this piece of flesh and skin, and who to sleep with is not sleep.

In the past, those guests had spent money to have fun and enjoy the gentle country, but this time it was the generals who used their swords and guns to demand the service of these poor people.

All you can hope for is not to meet those extraordinarily fierce benefactors. Of course, she meant what she said,

Three days ago, it is said that Xia Huaniang of the Qingyun class on the shore of Mochou Lake, because of her slightly unsatisfactory words at the banquet of the reception, was dragged by a rough general, dragged her hair and fell to the ground and smashed with a wine vessel, if she was not pulled by her colleagues, she would have almost been beaten to death.

In the end, after being carried back to bed and vomiting blood for several days, he still had to get up again and beat his spirits, cover up his injuries with makeup, and continue to accompany the guests with a smile.

Because if she can't do this, her entire team will have some kind of existential crisis.

It is still a good thing to be looked upon by these generals of the Southern Dynasties, at least on behalf of the safety of the courtyard and the painting boat, which can temporarily ensure that there are people to take care of them every day and use them without worry.

If you can't find a person with enough power in time and are willing to support it, you are likely to be recruited and sent to the barracks outside the city to work for the army, which is really a big bad luck.

was forced to entertain more than a dozen dozens of men a day, and it was not a life. So they all had to cheer up their spirits, from another battlefield, to use hue and machine to weapon, and work hard for their fate.

And on this huge three-story boat,

Although he participated in the rebellion of opening the door to the city and liquidating the Jiangbei Army in time, it was obvious that the merit and role were diluted, so the conditions that he could obtain were further reduced

Even his subordinates, who only had about three battalions left, were removed from the city and guarded, fearing that they would never have it again, and the rest of the hope,

The only way to see if we can find some ways and relationships from the Southern Korean army, and try our best to preserve a little bit of wealth, at least a decent end for a rich man.

Therefore, he did not even dare to return to the looted mansion, and only took a few relatives with him, hiding in this painting boat while drinking alcohol, waiting for his former friendship to bring him reassuring news.

The so-called wine is even more sorrowful, originally he didn't bother to touch his mouth at all, a pot was only a hundred yuan, only for those lower-class people, less than three years old ordinary Jinlingchun, he actually felt extraordinary, drank cup after cup, and couldn't help but get drunk.

When he woke up again, he found himself kidnapped, sitting with his head covered in a rowing riverboat.
