Chapter 663: Zhizhou's troubles

Zhang Hanqing, the governor of Lanzhou, has a hard time sleeping these days, although there were many bandits in Di Dao before, but those bandits seem to be very well-behaved. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Although Lanzhou is only more than 100 miles away from Didao, the bandits have never been to Lanzhou to loot. He, the governor of Lanzhou, is quite peaceful. Of course, the year before last, Qin Li exterminated Di Dao's many bandits in one fell swoop, so that Di Dao no longer had trouble, and he was even more comfortable as a Zhizhou.

But now it was different, and suddenly there were more than 10,000 bandits in Di Dao. These bandits are all one thing, and their leader is one person. Before the gods knew it, there were a few hundred people at first, and then they grew rapidly, and finally reached more than 10,000 people. The speed of development is almost unimaginable, giving the impression that it happened overnight, as if they suddenly came out of the ground.

If this group of bandits was still the same as the previous bandits, just robbing merchants in Didao, Zhang Hanqing would naturally not care about it. However, the current bandits may be due to the large number of people, or other reasons, in short, they often come to Lanzhou to loot. Of course, the robbers are all rich and wealthy people in Lanzhou, and they disdain those small households. What made Zhang Hanqing even more unacceptable was that the bandits all chose to act in broad daylight. They didn't seem to take the soldiers stationed in Lanzhou in the slightest, and they didn't take Zhang Hanqing, the governor of the state, seriously at all.

The rich and rich who were robbed are now basically beggars on the streets. complained in Lanzhou Yamen all day long, asking Zhang Hanqing to find a way for them. What can Zhang Hanqing do? It is true that there are soldiers stationed in Lanzhou, but those soldiers are a group of people, not to mention the slightest combat power, and the number is pitiful, only about three or two thousand people. What can three or two thousand people do? In Zhang Hanqing's view, they are like dung-making machines, and the bottomless pit of eating silver. For the rest, they can't do anything.

As for the servants in the yamen, there are only about 100 people. These servants usually play prestige in front of the people, bully and extort the people, and they are all experts, and they are never soft, but to say that they want to arrest the bandits is like letting them go to the execution ground. One by one, they were so frightened that they almost shrunk their necks, and they were the eight kings who shrunk their heads. Some simply took sick leave and never came back to work on errands.

Yes, let a hundred and ten people deal with the bandits? It's really more difficult. You know, although you can occasionally encounter one or two lone bandits, they are after all the people of the Di Dao bandits. If you can afford to provoke one or two, can you afford to provoke more than 10,000 people?

The reactions to Di Dao's chaos and banditry had already been sent to the imperial court one after another. But at that time, the imperial court was the dying Emperor Zhengde, and the officials were pondering the new emperor. Then the new emperor ascended the throne and adapted to the environment, who would think of what happened here in Di Dao? However, Empress Dowager Zhang is still good, and she really made a decree. But it is better not to give it under Yi's order, but it has put a heavy shackle on Zhang Hanqing. Let Zhang Hanqing organize people to fight against the bandits on their own.

OMG! If I, Zhang Hanqing, have that ability, what else can I send to the court? Although Lanzhou is too far away from the capital and is located on the frontier, the people's lives seem to be passable, and food and clothing seem to be solved. Zhang Hanqing is also a local, so it really makes sense for this Zhizhou to do. But now it was different, he had to be in fear all day long, ready to run away at any time.

Zhang Hanqing's cousin Man Tianxing is a person from the rivers and lakes, and he has a lot of friends in the rivers and lakes. In the past, there were stars in the sky, and Zhang Hanqing was even smoother. But now it's different, the sky is full of stars and he's too busy to take care of himself, where is there any leisure to help him? Wanjiu Villa is at the junction of Lanzhou and Didao, and the bandits of Didao have never made trouble in Wanjiu Villa before. But now this group of bandits in Di Dao is actually harassing Wanjiu Villa every once in a while, which makes Mantianxing very annoying. The business of Wanjiu Villa is not going to go by day.

In mid-February, although it is considered to be spring, Lanzhou is still cold, warm and cold. After more than a month of long-distance marching, Qin Li led his special forces and a thousand brave private soldiers to finally arrive in Lanzhou. What surprised Qin Li was that the former prosperous border town was gone, followed by a particularly depressed street. Lanzhou is about to fall into decay and wither.

Zhang Hanqing had already learned that Qin Li was going to come to Didao to exterminate the bandits. Last time, Qin Li only took twenty-one people to run rampant in Di Dao, and wiped out so many bandits with lightning speed. Therefore, Zhang Hanqing is very optimistic about Qin Li.

In his opinion, the people who can exterminate the bandits in the court today may have eliminated Qin Li, and there is no second person. He was naturally very pleased with Qin Li's arrival. But when he saw that Qin Li only brought so many people, Zhang Hanqing's heart turned cold in an instant.

Alas! Finished! It's useless for Qin Li to come! Last time, he did use twenty-one people to exterminate so many bandits, but this time he couldn't. You know, this time the bandits are not the same as the many bandits last time. If it was a shrimp soldier and crab general last time, then this time it is a heavenly soldier. In a word, Di Dao's giant bandits are extremely strong. Qin Li brought such a few people who could only be beaten in all directions, and even all of them would die without corpses.

I thought so in my heart, but I didn't dare to show it on my face. In the past, when Qin Li came, he was just a five-rank cloud cavalry captain. But this time it's different, Qin Li is a general of Zhenguo from the second grade. However, his official position of Zhang Hanqing is still a five-grade Zhizhou. In front of Qin Li, he was undoubtedly a little shrimp.

Although it is a small shrimp, Zhang Hanqing is in charge of the military and politics of the entire Lanzhou after all. He is the biggest official in Lanzhou. He behaved submissively and cautiously in front of Qin Li, which made Qin Li very proud in his heart.

Hey! At this time and that time, if you want to say that this Hanqing didn't seem to be very reluctant to see me last time, he was full of official spirit in front of me, and he looked very bullish. But this time it's different, the master is many levels older than him.

Qin Li looked light-hearted, patted Zhang Hanqing's shoulder lightly like a boss, and said, "Hanqing, your mind is actually fully understood. Hehe! Don't look at the fact that the official only brought so many people, but this time the official wants to eradicate Di Dao's bandits in one fell swoop, so that Di Dao will be completely peaceful for a few years.

Don't worry, there is nothing that can't be done with your General Qin. Han Qing, the food and drink of these officials depends on you, and I believe that you will be able to satisfy the general. (To be continued.) )
