After getting off the boat from Guazhou Ferry to the other side, Lin Haifeng instructed Liu Xianghe and others to go to the post station in Zhenjiang City to set up a temporary mansion.
Su Sanniang was anxious when she heard this, "Your Highness, let's live in the town guard yamen, the place is already big, and it is more convenient." ”
"No need," Lin Haifeng smiled, "I'd better live alone, firstly, it won't affect you, and secondly, this king is also trying to be quiet." Don't you know, this king has a special skill, that is, when he sleeps, his teeth are clenched, if he lives there, I am afraid that no one will be at peace in the entire yamen at night. ”
Su Sanniang covered her mouth and smiled, "Your Highness can really tell jokes, how can you be so strict." ”
Lin Haifeng shook his hand, "Believe it or not, but don't let it go." He glared at Liu Xianghe, who was snickering, "What are you laughing at, hurry up and decorate, there are more people to prepare for dinner, and this king wants to feast all the dignitaries." ”
Su Sanniang had no choice but to order a few female guards under her to accompany Liu Xianghe and them to arrange first, and then looked at King An questioningly, "Your Highness, don't you go back?" ”
"Don't worry, this king wants to take you around." So saying, he got on his horse.
Su Sanniang caught up with King An, and walked away for a while, tilting her head to look at King An, "I heard Wang Haiyang say, His Royal Highness personally led the team to rush to the Qing Demon Camp?" ”
Lin Haifeng blinked, hehe smiled, "Don't listen to their nonsense, it's embarrassing to mention it." Where is this king compared to your General Su. ”
Su Sanniang's face flushed, "Your Highness is really good at laughing." Where can Sanniang compare with His Royal Highness. ”
"What's the joke?" Lin Haifeng raised the horse whip in his hand, "Green flag and yellow banner female Yuan Rong, bead hat and dragon finish; The 800 female soldiers were barefoot, and they walked like the wind with their trousers tied up. This is not made up by this king, is it? ”
Su Sanniang's face turned even redder, "That's what they sang blindly." ”
"It's not a nonsense. When Zhenjiang was conquered, it was Su Sanniang's first contribution, and the heroic appearance of the women's battalion has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. This is the pride of you, General Su and the female army of the Celestial Empire. Lin Haifeng said seriously.
"That's all the credit of the sisters in the women's camp, what can Sanniang do no matter how strong she is."
"Yes, that makes sense." Lin Haifeng nodded, turned his face sideways and looked at this heroine who was already twenty-seven or eight. She wasn't pretty, but she was the kind of woman who was quite scrutinized. is different from the cheerful and honest Hong Xuanjiao, what is seen on her face is more of a calm and solemn. Occasionally, when the lips are pursed, there is always a faint hint of male domineering. He couldn't help but believe what Yang Xiuqing said when he accepted his personnel arrangements before leaving, "Brother, when you arrive in Zhenjiang, Su Sanniang is not easy to mess with." ”
Lin Haifeng looked at Su Sanniang, who was slightly lowered by his own eyes, and smiled, "Most of the people who participated in the Heavenly Army with you at the beginning couldn't stand the strict rules of the Heavenly Army, and left the ranks of the Heavenly Army one after another, but you, Su Sanniang, always followed the Heavenly Empire. Just at this point, no matter how much praise you Su Sanniang has, it will not be too much. Looking at a village in the northwest suburbs of the city, he pointed with his horsewhip, "This king has a look with you, and you have to go into the village and count them. ”
"How so?" Su Sanniang looked at King An in disbelief, and then looked at the deserted village, "The land is divided, who would be willing to leave the field at hand and be a refugee." ”
"What can I do if I don't leave?" Qi Min stood at the door, looking at the old lady who was still looking around at the house, her eyes were full of nostalgia and sighing, he looked at the father who was squatting on the ground with his head in his hands and sighing, and at the son who was holding his daughter-in-law's shriveled nipples and kept crying, he pointed to the empty rice jar and stomped his feet, "Let's go, stay any longer, I will starve to death." ”
"The Celestial Empire treats us well," Dad slowly raised his head, his dark and thin face was full of the vicissitudes of time, "Since your eldest brother was a member of the Celestial Empire in Tianjing, the Heavenly Army also deliberately gave us good land in the nearest village when the fields were divided." It's hard maybe it's hard for a while, if you really leave like this, the land will be barren, and we're sorry for the Celestial Empire. ”
"yes, where are you going? Although your eldest brother is in Tianjing, there has been no news since then, and the golden nest and silver nest are not as good as your own. The old lady wiped the corners of her damp eyes and muttered softly.
"Father, mother, if you don't go, I'll go." Qi Min snatched the child who was only a few months old from his daughter-in-law's arms, "Adults say, we have to think about the child." After working for almost a year, he is still empty-handed, and he can't even drink a bowl of rice soup. I" he said he couldn't go on.
"Or," the old lady looked at the old man with a consultative look, "or tell the children to go to Tianjing to find the boss, let's stay and serve the crops in the field, it's better than being tied together like this?" ”
Daddy let out a long sigh and stood up. He first picked up his little grandson from his son's hands, tears flashing in his old eyes, "No one can leave." The father gritted his teeth, turned around and handed his grandson into his daughter-in-law's arms, "We are people from the Celestial Empire, and we are different from them." Anyone can run, but we can't. ”
He walked to the door and pulled his son away, "The Heavenly Army fights every day, how can it fight without collecting money?" Don't think about yourself. If the Qing soldiers come back, we will be even more unlucky. ”
"Dad, you are"
"Alas!" Daddy shook his head, "I'd better go to the chief to borrow some first" He said as he stepped out of the threshold, but just happened to bump into someone
In the temporary mansion, taking advantage of the time for dinner, Lin Haifeng summoned the officials of Zhenjiang Town to guard the envoys and pacify the yamen, and announced the adjustment of the Zhenjiang officials by the Headquarters and the Ministry of Officials while eating. The people who come to eat have their own tastes.
"Xiucheng, your current task is to seize the time to reorganize the garrison in Zhenjiang according to the appearance of the Red Army, and leave the original women's battalion to Su Anfu and the rest such as Tianjing's women's army. In addition, it is necessary to continue to expand the water camp established by Su An. Don't focus on the size of the boat, you can develop more small sampans. The family property that General Su left you is rich enough. Lin Haifeng looked at Su Sanniang, who was sitting opposite him, pouting face.
He smiled, picked up a bowl of rice, and looked at Xu Zongyang, the deputy prime minister of the winter official and the former Zhenjiang pacification envoy, "Prime Minister Xu, you may be aggrieved and say that the fault is not in you, and the board should not be hit on you." Yes, there are many places where this qiē has been repeated before. But have you ever thought about it, can those people who are in prison by you give you the money, let's not talk about it for now, what will happen to them when they come out? Who else can you ask for money next time? And your subordinates in the villages, this king has seen some places roughly, and it is hard for me to imagine whether they usually work in the fields like the people. I guess they think they're 'Lao Tzu'. You're ruining our jobs by doing this. He tapped the rice bowl lightly with his chopsticks, "Without the rice in the bowl, can you eat a table of flowers?" ”
"You go back to the town guard first, and the yamen helps Xiucheng take care of the military affairs of the water camp." Lin Haifeng said, took two mouthfuls of rice, and looked at all the people present, "This king not only wants the rice bowl, but also wants the rice in the bowl." ”
Everyone present silently ate the meal in front of them, savoring the meaning of King An's words. And the officials of the Yamen were sweating in their hearts at this time, and Xu Zongyang's faults were naturally inseparable from them.
Huang Zilong, who was sitting next to Xu Zongyang, was even more worried. He is Xu Zongyang's deputy, and because Xu Zongyang is too lazy to engage in the affairs of these places, most of the decisions are basically made by him. Not to mention that the east of Zhenjiang has not been divided into fields at all, that is, the places that have been implemented, and just as King An just said, because of his drastic measures, more people have run away than left, and some villages are basically ten rooms and nine empty, and Zhenjiang City has long been spread everywhere inside and outside the city to call him "yellow and white land", treating him as a locust. He lowered his head and peeked at His Royal Highness King An. The more he was afraid of something, the more he saw King An's gaze shooting towards him, his heart immediately tightened, and the chopsticks in his hand stopped.
Lin Haifeng looked at Huang Zilong and ate his meal unhurriedly, "Lord Huang, this king heard that you are quite famous in Zhenjiang, it seems that you have a loud nickname, can you tell this king?" ”
Huang Zilong's body trembled, and the rice bowl in his hand rolled to the ground, making a crisp breaking sound. "Your Highness is lowly and humble," he didn't dare to look at King An's knife-like eyes, and his lips trembled cowardly.
"Huangbaidi, hehe, not bad." Lin Haifeng casually pinched the dishes placed in front of him, "You really want to come out, collect grain and money, and those who have land do not want to plant, and would rather leave their hometowns." Yes, after working for more than half a year, I said that I had a piece of land, but in the end, all the harvest was not enough for your various taxes. Don't say that it is counting on the people who will harvest and survive in the field, even the king himself is not willing to do such a thing for nothing. A person who has made great contributions to the Celestial Empire, his father and mother have to rely on borrowing food from your so-called captains to make ends meet, but they still remember the benefits of our Celestial Empire. I don't understand, what do you think about every day? ”
Huang Zilong didn't dare to sit down anymore. He staggered out of his seat, fell to his knees, and crawled forward twice, "Chitose, the lowly position knows that it is wrong, begging Chitose to give the lowly position another chance, the lowly position must be changed!" He prostrated himself and pleaded.
