Chapter 34: The Sheep in the Tiger's Mouth
Jinshanwei is a guard post for local soldiers in Fang County. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
It is also the only legal official armed force in Fang County, led by a hundred households, called Xu Liang, whose guard post claims to have 2,000 people, but in fact the number of armed people should be between 300 and 500.
There are not many people, but the equipment of this guard is solid, not only is everyone equipped with conventional weapons, but there are also two cannons at the head of the guard city, and there are at least dozens of guns in the arsenal.
These incomplete data Liu Yuanshan obtained from the trail, although it is not very accurate, but it is also very different.
Previously, due to various relationships, the local health office did not interfere in his business, but now that he may have received the news of the Ye family's embarrassment, it is the second time he has come to the door.
This Feng Kexing is probably the spokesperson of Jin Shanwei!
Liu Yuanshan despised it in his heart, and then put one hand on his cheek in contemplation.
In fact, there are not many roads in front of him, and although cooperating with Jin Shanwei is destined to lose some of the benefits, it is better than the current situation.
The key is that if Jin Shanwei is looking for benefits from himself and has no choice but to turn around and find the Ye family, he will really die, or in other words, he can only take the road of rebellion.
Fang County is not like Guanzhong where hungry people run all over the place, and a large number of homeless people gather under the command of a casual flag pull, and rebellion in this kind of place is tantamount to pushing oneself to death.
"Liu Gongzi is still hesitating?" Feng Kexing smiled slightly, then straightened up, groped something out of his big sleeve, and handed it to Liu Yuanshan: "Look at what this is?" ”
Liu Yuanshan took it over and watched it carefully, and Feng Kexing said slowly beside him: "Although my barracks do not have specific real power, all the local gentry who apply for group training must pass through my yamen, which was handed over by the Ye family, although I can hold it in my hand for a few days, but it will only be five days at most!" ”
"Five days later, they're going to have a group drill!"
Yes, what Liu Yuanshan is holding in his hand is the approval document for the Ye family's application for group training, which has not yet been officially issued, but it must not be far from being officially issued.
The Ye family holds a group practice, why is this?
You can think of it with your toes.
Moreover, relying on the huge local forces, if the group training is held again at that time, it will undoubtedly be a huge stumbling block to its own development, and it will be much more difficult to deal with than the original Zhao family.
"Okay, I'll take this knife, thank you Lord Feng!" Liu Yuanshan made a decision!
Sometimes, it's not a bad thing to give away a part of the benefits, at least in the short term.
"Liu Gongzi is really as wise as a torch, then we won't procrastinate, early tomorrow morning, go to Jinshanwei to talk about it, Boss Xu is waiting for Liu Gongzi!" Feng Kexing gave up his hand and retired.
"Okay, that's it!"
Liu Yuanshan had no other way but to send him away.
After Feng Ke left, Zhang Mo asked, "You just agreed and accepted his knife?" ”
Liu Yuanshan smiled coldly and said, "Now that the situation is not human, what can I do?" However, this knife is double-edged, and it is true that it can break through our current situation, but how much flesh it will cut me and drink a little of my blood will depend on tomorrow. ”
Judging from Feng Kexing's attitude just now, going to Jinshanwei tomorrow is nothing more than two words: negotiation!
"These old guys, one by one, are more shrewd than monkeys, and they set the negotiation venue in their Jinshanwei, so we basically have no capital to resist, so we can only let him cut the meat with a knife!"
"Not necessarily!" Zhang Mo said: "When you go tomorrow, take me together, and the two of us will go over, even if he wants half a catty, we can get back eight taels!" ”
Liu Yuanshan looked at Zhang Mo, although this product is unreliable when it encounters those disciples of Kunlun in Beihai, but fighting among the ordinary people of the Ming Dynasty is really at the level of experts and ancestors, so what about Yu Wanjun, he may not be able to suffer a loss.
"Okay, that's it!" Liu Yuanshan can be regarded as a reassuring pill.
……
On the second day, he called all the regimental soldiers in Fang County to the courtyard and told them to take care of their own people in the courtyard and resolutely not to go out unless there were special circumstances.
"Especially you, Liu Da!" Liu Yuanshan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Erlang and I are not here, you have to take on the task of teaching them, send someone to buy them for household use on weekdays, and the daily training of the regimental soldiers cannot be delayed." ”
"Yes!"
"Alright, let's go!"
Liu Yuanshan and Zhang Mo each rode a horse out of the house, and they saw Feng Kexing at the agreed place in the west of the city.
Seeing Zhang Mo accompanying him, Feng Kexing was slightly surprised, but he didn't care too much, after all, even if he entered Xu Liang's job in Jinshanwei, there was really not much difference between one person and two people.
"Let's go, Jin Shanwei is not far away!" Feng Kexing pointed to the mountains in the west.
Three people ride away!
Jinshanwei is indeed not too far from Fang County, located between Fang County and Gushan Town, close to the north bank of the Malan River, built in a place near the mountains and water, easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Along the way, the grass and trees on the side of the road are a little withered, the autumn breeze is quite cool, and the summer accumulated in a summer is almost blown clean.
The autumn water of the Malan River is clear and clear, there is hardly a sailboat on it, the trees on both sides of the river are tall and towering, the leaves on it have begun to turn from emerald green to yellow, the morning sun comes out from the east and has some charming eyes, the artemisia grass on the ground is wet with water vapor, and the horses have just walked for a while before getting wet.
It wasn't sweat, it was the reappearance of an early autumn morning.
Three people and three horses, easily walked for about half an hour, then saw a black city in front of you, the city is not very big, by the mountains and rivers, there is also an artillery set up on the east gate facing Liu Yuanshan.
Liu Yuanshan's eyes were not attracted by the artillery, but fell on the water of the Malan River at the south gate of the city, where, near the city gate, two large ships and three small boats were docked.
The big ship was in the Ming Dynasty, and it still looks like a small ship in later generations.
"Huh!" Feng Kexing smiled slightly, looked at Liu Yuanshan and said: "This is Jinshanwei's warship, even if the Ye family is capable, it is impossible to take away the ships of the guard, all, there are still boats on this Malan River." ”
"No wonder!" Liu Yuanshan's eyes narrowed slightly: If these warships are put on the river, where anyone dares to block the road, even the Ye family will have to obediently give up the river.
"Let's go, Lord Xu must have been waiting inside for a long time, let's hurry in!" Feng Kexing said a word to the two, and walked ahead with a pat on the horse's buttocks.
Liu Yuanshan and Zhang Mo followed.
Looking at the swarthy city head and the soldiers standing guard, as well as the red-clothed cannon with a big black hole at the city gate, Liu Yuanshan couldn't help but feel like a sheep in the tiger's mouth.
