Chapter Seventy-One: The Spectator

said that he was aggrieved like a child daughter-in-law, but he borrowed all the grain and grass materials left by Ah Zuojun on the canal merchants and offered them to the Buddha!

For the generous gifts sent to the door, Zhu Bayi certainly couldn't refuse. After thinking about it, he immediately turned his head to Xu Hongsan, the captain of the pro-soldiers, "You order fifty brothers, and then follow the master of Chang to receive the official ship." If anyone dares to stop it, they will be killed directly! ”

"Yes!" Xu Hongsan ignored the exhaustion on his body, and loudly agreed to step forward to receive the order.

After receiving the official ship, he immediately took anchor and returned to Xuzhou along the canal. The required manpower was directly requisitioned from the boat gang, and when he arrived outside Xuzhou City, he used the official ship as foot money and gave it all to the boat gang! Zhu Bayi nodded at him and continued to command loudly.

"I can't do it, I can't help it!" Chang Sanshi immediately jumped up, his hands waved like a windmill, "A hundred and ten miles of road, I don't dare to charge such a thick fare from Zhu Ye." Besides, it's an official ship, where do we dare to use it?! Please also ask the governor to take back his fate, take back his fate! ”

"That's a problem!" Zhu Bayi thought about it, so he said in embarrassment. "Our Red Turban Army pays attention to the fact that there is no crime in autumn, and you can't use your manpower in vain. I will give you the ship to pay you off, but you refuse, if you ask for money"

"No money, how dare a small one take the governor's money!" Talking to smart people is to save effort, Chang Sanshi also quickly figured out what Zhu Bayi meant, and while politely, he climbed up the pole, "It's just that the boat gang is walking on the canal, and it is inevitable that it will pass outside Xuzhou City." It's summer again, and many rare items from the south have to be shipped to the north, and one more day of delay on the way is a day's loss. If the Metropolitan Governor can give a few kind words in front of General Manager Li, so that the customs clearance procedures of the Red Turban Army are a little easier, and the boat gang will have more than 20,000 mouths, and they will never dare to forget the great grace of the Metropolitan Governor! ”

"Ahh It is rare to find a person with an extremely active mind in this era, and Zhu Eighty-one was excited, so he saved the intention of helping the other party. After thinking for a moment, he responded with a smile, "That's it, it's inconvenient for me to reply to you right now on this matter." You go back and find a few excellent helpers and take them to Xuzhou to talk. The two of us will gong in front of each other, drum opposite each other, and come up with a charter together. It will not delay the business of your boat gang, and it will not cause too much loss to our Xuzhou army. Brother Chang, what do you think?! ”

"Chang, Chang is grateful!" Chang Sanshi was stunned again, and once again reached the ground. As a ninth-rate industry, although the scale of the boat gang is huge, wherever they go, they have to look at other people's faces. Even if they gave a lot of bribes, those lustful officials of the Mengyuan Imperial Court just threw out a rule and let the boat gang follow it. There has never been any annoyance, no force on any side, willing to sit down and talk to them about the specific conditions. Even if it's pretending.

Since the rise of the Sesame Lee, business on the canal has been even worse. Although the Red Turban Army has never tried to cut off shipping, who dares to guarantee that the ant thieves will not see the money? Therefore, as long as the original price of the goods is slightly more expensive, many people would rather take the risk of handing it over to the Fang Guozhen brothers to go north by sea than hand it over to the boat to help them go through the canal. And some cheap daily necessities, such as fresh food, fruits and vegetables, native products from the north and south, etc., when passing through the checkpoint under the city of Xuzhou, because of the complicated procedures and a lot of delays, they will deteriorate on the road. The back and forth made the business of the boat gang more and more cold.

Now that Zhu Dudu, who is the most popular in front of Sesame Li, is willing to agree to negotiate a customs clearance charter with the boat gang that is acceptable to both parties, how can Chang Sanshi not be overjoyed?! Thinking that one more day of delay would be a loss of thousands of hangs, he couldn't stay even for half an hour. Zhao Zhu Eighty-one said a few more words about the scene of patting his chest, immediately got up and said goodbye, and led Xu Hongsan and the fifty elites of the Red Turban Army who had just been selected to ride the captured horses and run back to the canal wharf at a gallop.

On the dock, Jiang Shiyi, the big boss of the boat gang, was waiting anxiously, and when he saw Chang Sanshi coming back with fifty ironclad warriors riding fast horses, he immediately ordered someone to light a few fires, and then made a panicked appearance, leading the gang to flee for their lives. Secretly, he sent another deputy gang leader, Long Er, to lead Xu Hongsan and others to the ownerless official ship, and set sail with the fastest anchor.

When Xu Hongsan and the others and the boat gang responsible for rocking the water were far away, he secretly called Chang Sanshi aside and blamed him in a low voice: "I said third brother, you are usually a stable person, why did you bring the red scarf thief to the dock with such fanfare?" In case it is known to the government."

"On the side of the government, we can't cope with the reproaches of the court at the moment, how can we pay attention to us?! Big brother, second brother, you two don't know, that Zhu Dudu captured more than 300 cavalry alive today" Chang Sanshi immediately opened his mouth and responded with great interest. Immediately, without waiting for the other party to ask, he took the initiative to truthfully describe the scene he saw and heard in the Red Turban Army camp to Master Jiang Da and Master Long Er.

"So, then Zhu Dudu is a rare hero?!" Listening to his words full of admiration for Zhu Bayi, Jiang Shiyi, the big boss of the boat gang, smiled, and knocked on the table with his hand to interrupt.

"Yes! Third, I've never seen you admire anyone! The leader of the second dragon gang was also so strange, and he smiled and helped beside him.

"Big brother, second brother, I'm afraid the word Haojie is not enough to describe him!" Chang Sanshi didn't think about it, so he corrected it.

"What do you mean by that?" Never saw his own sworn brother respect a person so much, Jiang Twelve raised his head in surprise and asked in a low voice.

"Big brother, second brother! You two didn't see it at the time! Chang Sanshi hugged his fist again and added to the two sworn brothers again, "When I went, the Red Turban Army was cleaning up the battlefield with prisoners. More than 300 Afghans, when they hurried south along the canal, how majestic were they?! At this time, in Zhu Dudu, he was as well-behaved as three hundred sheep. There is no need to whip at all, where the whip is pointed, they go! ”

"That's it, if you don't obey, you have to kill it early!" The deputy gang leader Long Er shook the feather fan in his hand, and seven were dissatisfied and eight were angry. "How many times did Zhu Eighty-one use his troops to take down the Afghan army? Could it be that it was really like the rumors from the outside world, and it only took four or five thousand? ”

Before he joined the boat gang, he was a white-clothed talent who had repeatedly fallen into the ranks, and the person he admired most in his heart was Zhuge Wuhou. Therefore, even if it is cold, you must hold a goose feather fan. At every turn, he learned to shake Zhuge Kongming in the excerpt a few times to show his wisdom and wisdom.

However, the cool breeze from the goose feather fan today is a little surprisingly hot. I only listened to the words of Sandang Sanshi drifting along the wind, and every word was as if it had been roasted by fire, "How many times?" The second brother is less than half of the Ajun army, okay. This is what I saw with my own eyes, and I heard it once before from Wu Liangmou, the eldest young master of Wujiazhuang. Zhu Eighty-one came to the north bank of the Yellow River this time, and the purpose was just to demand money and grain from a few unsightly dock forts. So how can you bring too many people? It's just over 1,400, and a small half of them are auxiliaries who can't go to the battlefield at all! ”

"Really?!" Not only Long Er, but Jiang Shiyi, who has always been a calm boss, was also stunned, and blurted out the words of questioning.

"When I went to visit Zhu Dudu, I secretly counted it!" Chang Sanshi was irritated when he was asked, waving his arms and shouting, "It's all a family, what am I doing to lie to the two of you?" When I arrived at the battlefield, they had just gathered their ranks. Although it is impossible to distinguish which is the war army and which is the auxiliary. But all of them add up, and there are only about a thousand people. If more than twice as many brothers died in the battle as they survived, they themselves would have collapsed long ago, how could they have beaten the Azuo army to the ground and fled?! ”

"That's right!" Jiang Shiyi and Long Er looked at each other and nodded slightly. "It seems that this Zhu Eighty-one, as in the legend, is really brave! You just said, what is he going to do with the people? Sell to the local government at a clear price? ”

"It's not so much selling as deliberately humiliating!" Seeing that the conversation finally returned to the topic, Chang Sanshi took a deep breath and added loudly, "Eight hundred wen, he sold the captives to a few nearby Zhuangzi at the price of one donkey per person. Let everyone change hands to the Feng County Government again! ”

"Oh! No wonder you admire him so much! It turned out that he wanted to follow Fang Guzi's old path! The deputy gang leader Long Er woke up like a dream, pouting and sneering.

Fang Guzi is the nickname of Meng Yuanding Haiwei Fang Guozhen. This duke rebelled four years earlier, leading a group of brothers to occupy the Zhoushan area, specifically attacking the passing Semu cargo ships. The Semu merchant was overwhelmed, and the Mengyuan court, which had been bought, sent a naval army to conquer him. As a result, the navy army was defeated by him, and even the commander who led the troops, Duo'er, was captured alive by this person!

That Fang Guozhen caught Duo'er only after class, but he didn't show it to the public. Instead, he was entertained with good wine and food, and then sent a plate of entanglement, asking the other party to bring a message to the court for him, and he was willing to accept Zhao'an.

The soldiers and horses of the Mengyuan court were not good at water warfare, so they had to surrender him and appoint him with the official position of Dinghai Lieutenant, wanting to trick him ashore and then slowly try to figure him out. Fang Guozhen received the recruitment document from the Mengyuan court, but refused to be fooled. first put on the official uniform on his body, and continued to extort past merchant ships under the banner of the Mengyuan court. When the money and food were enough, he pulled the flag again and rebelled, and easily knocked down Wenzhou City again.

In the following three years, this Fang Guzi fought with the imperial court repeatedly. Every time he wins, he asks for a promotion and recruitment. After each recruitment, he soon rebelled into the sea. In this way, it has become the largest force on the southeast coast. The imperial court, the green forest heroes who begged for a life on the water, and the Semu fleet that came to Dayuan from afar to do business, all had to act according to his face.

Recently, it was reported that the Mengyuan Imperial Court had once again taken out the position of Caoyun Wanhu to contact, just waiting for Fang Guzi's reply. If Fang Guzi Daxia thinks that Wanhu's position is also low, the two sides can even discuss it again. I just hope that he can stop, so that the big guys in the capital and the big guys' colored allies can continue to earn huge dividends in the sea trade in peace and stability.

can force the Mengyuan Imperial Court to this part, and this side of the grain can be regarded as a face for the heroes of the rivers and lakes. At present, the garrison of the Xuzhou Army is stuck on the canal, and it is not surprising that Fang Guzi is a lesson from the past. Unexpectedly, the second gang leader of the dragon just laughed twice, and was choked back by Chang Sanshi with disdainful words, "Snort! What kind of thing is Fang Guzi?! Compared with this Zhu Dudu, it is just a night owl and a Dapeng bird, and the two dead mice he fancies, people won't use their eyelids to clip them at all?! ”

"Third child, what do you mean by that?!" Ryuuji's face was burned when he was talked, and he pointed at Chang Sanshi with the top of his fan and questioned loudly.

"If he just wants to curry favor with the court, why would he put such a humiliating price?! At the moment, he is not short of money to spend, what is the difference between 800 Wen and giving it away for nothing?! The reason why I want to set such a price is because I asked me that 800 wen can buy a donkey in the market. Big brother, second brother, think about it, the heroes who dare to raise a knife to kill officials and rebel, the three of us have seen a lot in the past two years. Who would have thought of slapping that dog court in the face so hard?! This division of the world into four classes is a national policy set by Kublai Khan when he went down to the south of the Yangtze River, and everyone has been accustomed to it for more than 70 years, including the scholars in the world, who has ever dared to question whether it is reasonable or not? ! And Zhu Eighty-one is like this, this Xuzhou red scarf is no longer a grass coward who kills the rich and helps the poor. No matter whether you are poor, rich, illiterate, or rich and rich, as long as you still remember the Mongolian law of the imperial court, who will not give him a thumbs up and shout for the Xuzhou red scarf! ”

"And then, it will lead the imperial court to attack with the strength of the country? The gas is out, and the Xuzhou red scarf was also put on the stove by him! Long Er glared at Chang Sanshi fiercely, pouting and asking rhetorically.

"Yes! What Zhu Dudu did did did sound really happy. However, Jiang Shiyi, the big boss of the boat gang, in addition to appreciating it, also felt that Zhu Bayi's move was inevitably unstable, paused, and continued: "But he also completely put himself in the most obvious position. After the court heard about it, I am afraid that it will smash the canal, and it will have to get rid of them first! Alas! ”

"Alas, third child, let's say what we want to say about you!" Ryuuji also sighed with him, and the goose feather fan was gusting in the wind.

As a third brother, everything is good, but he is too impulsive. What Zhu Eighty-one did did sound really enjoyable, but could it be done by a wise man? At this time, the wise man should shrink his head and watch the soldiers and horses of the court fight others. Then hide to the side and slowly grow stronger, waiting for future opportunities.

"Then the Xuzhou army is stuck on the canal, even if it doesn't play the banner of expelling Meng Yuan, can the imperial court let them go?!" Chang Sanshi's love immediately became very excited, looking into the eyes of the two sworn brothers, and shouting loudly. "Since you have to fight sooner or later, it's better to do it simply, pick out the banner clearly, and survive by fighting! As long as they can maintain today's combat effectiveness, how can they have more soldiers and horses in the imperial court? It's a big deal to abandon Xuzhou and move elsewhere. As long as he is willing to continue to fight for the Han family's sons, there will definitely be people with lofty ideals who will follow him in groups! ”
