Chapter Seventy-One: Conflict

Yang Miaozhen raised her eyebrows: "So you don't plan to duel with me?" Anyway, I didn't expect the pear flower gun to become extinct. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" said with a spear: "But you also have to take your life." ”

"Auntie, do you remember why you practiced martial arts back then?" is also a woman, with a strong personality, Yan Tianwu inevitably has sympathy for Yang Miaozhen.

Yang Miaozhen smiled: "Of course, in order to eliminate violence and peace, I slaughtered you court lackeys." ”

"And what are you doing today? Driving the people as a shield, is this the elimination of violence and peace? Was that the purpose of your martial arts training in the first place? Yan Tianwu approached step by step and asked.

Yang Miaozhen sneered at each other: "When you get to my point, you will naturally do the same!" You are a natural nobleman who understands what! ”

"I won't!"

Yang Miaozhen looked at the girl in front of her and said this sentence with a serious face, and laughed: "I didn't think I would do it back then." ”

"How about we make a bet?"

"What bet?"

Yan Tianwu walked up to Yang Miaozhen and whispered in his ear, Yang Miaozhen suddenly laughed uncontrollably, and then said solemnly: "The old lady promises you!" ”

――

Zhao Zheng stood on the city wall for a night, waiting for the east to be white, the battle came to an end, although the victory, but the war continued, Li Quan still has nearly half of the main force is still there, still barely able to maintain the siege of Yangzhou but the decline is gradually emerging, the siege of the city still does not dare to attack these days. only dare to guard the main road and cut off Yangzhou's contact with the outside world.

But Yang Miaozhen is missing, and it is rumored that he was killed by the rebels, but the body cannot be found.

Zhao Zheng saw the corpses everywhere outside the city, and sighed that it was really the same as history, the Yangzhou defenders did not succeed in a single blow, but with the combat strength of Li Quan's army, he was afraid of a few more raids, and this battle was won.

Yan Tianwu only took a small group of refugees last night, and there were more than 100,000 refugees outside the city, and the Heavenly Dao Army was like a tenacious grass growing savagely in the wild, and left with Yan Tianwu.

Yan Tianwu had a long talk with herself last night, and she decided to go to Chuzhou and join Gu Bing, so she first borrowed the Heavenly Dao Army from Zhao Zheng to gain a foothold in Chuzhou.

The team of one hundred and fifty people naturally can't set off too much wind and waves in this troubled era, but Zhao Zheng knows that Li Quan will soon be defeated, and the Chuzhou area will be extremely chaotic, and there will be a power vacuum.

"National teacher, this mountain and river is broken, and this official can't bear to witness it! I don't know what you have to rejuvenate and reshape the rivers and mountains. Zhao Shanxiang's faint voice sounded behind Zhao Zheng.

Zhao Zheng nodded, which was considered a courtesy, but when he saw the devastation in front of him, he was a little unwilling: "I don't know how these refugees will be resettled after the war?" ”

The homes of these people must have been swept away by Li Quan, even if the fields and houses are still there, but after the end of the war, the spring ploughing has passed, and this year's harvest will be considered yellow.

"Recruit people as soldiers, fill them into military camps, and the rest of the women and children's government will borrow food, and this year it will be able to cope with almost half of it."

can only cope with the past half, which means that the other half can only wait to starve to death, anyway, some women and children, can't afford to turn over much wind and waves, and the history of the Southern Song Dynasty is not clear, how much of the grain borrowed by the government can fall into the hands of the people, and how much interest will be charged, these are heavy topics.

"Did you ever know that Guangdong is desperately short of people now?"

Zhao Shanxiang nodded, since he knew that Artemisia annua and coix seed can cure miasma, Guangdong is gradually no longer regarded as a land of tigers and wolves in the eyes of officials, coupled with the amazing yield of sweet potatoes and sweet potatoes per mu and the ability to plant in Guangdong for three seasons, so that the imperial court attaches great importance to the development of Guangdong, and has been preparing to reclaim millions of acres of land since last year, but due to the lack of manpower, ploughing cattle, and farm tools, it has only been completed less than one-twentieth so far.

"What does the national teacher mean to send these people to Guangdong?"

"It's hard to live in my homeland, but I'm afraid that most people don't want to leave their hometown." Zhao Zheng said here, Zhao Shanxiang quite agreed, the new understanding of Guangdong is only limited to the court, and most people still think that it is a poisonous miasma, and there is no life.

"Master Zhao, Xiaodao has a reluctant request, can you move them to Guangdong in the name of exile? The crime was that they besieged Yangzhou and assisted the rebels. Zhao Zheng looked at Zhao Shanxiang expectantly.

This move damages Zhao Shanxiang's reputation, since ancient times, the law does not blame the public, so he is afraid that he will be scolded by the people, Zhao Shanxiang faced Zhao Zheng's eyes and replied with some difficulty: "This place is far away from Guangdong, and I am afraid that there will be two or three out of ten people who can reach it." ”

Zhao Zheng saluted Zhao Shanxiang: "This move is indeed a bit abrupt, but Xiaodao will take out millions of yuan to provide food and drink, and ensure that they can arrive in Guangdong safely, and the rest of the treasury will be used to settle down for them, and it will be arranged properly, and within ten years, Guangdong will be as prosperous as Jiangnan." ”

Ten years...... Zhao Shanxiang pondered this word and understood that it was Zhao Zheng's guarantee to him again, and ten years later, Guangdong would be prosperous. The stigma on your body can be washed away.

"The old man's time is short...... although Zhao Shanxiang can't bear to refuse Zhao Zheng, but the reputation is related to his future, he is old, and he doesn't know where he is after ten years. Moreover, with the promotion of sweet potatoes and sweet potatoes in Guangdong, the development of Guangdong does not need to be in such a hurry, it will not work in ten years, twenty years, or thirty years.

Zhao Zheng saw that Zhao Shanxiang's words were evasive, so he had no choice but to give up, this kind of thing cannot be forced, and there must also be officials in Yangzhou to advise him, and he can't meddle in the government casually.

"It's a little cold in the early morning, Master Zhao, retire next!"

――

"Boss, let's have three bowls of noodles and put more chopped green onions." When Zhao Zheng and Chengdao walked down the city wall and entered Yangzhou City, many vendors had already gotten up and started selling breakfast.

"Yo! Little brother, you're here, what's the urgency to get up so early? The shopkeeper looked at Zhao Zheng, and only the two of them asked suspiciously: "Little brother, do you want to wait for someone?" It just so happens that you have to sit down, and the water has just boiled! The store greeted Zhao Zheng warmly, Zhao Zheng came to eat here, so the boss greeted him quite familiarly.

"Chengdao, you go and call Meng Liang in, he has been guarding for the night, he should be hungry too." Meng Liang is Zhao Zheng's secret guard, because Zhao Zheng drove away the six secret guards in a fit of anger that day, and now there are only four left. Because it is necessary to keep the protection at all times and keep vigil, it is very hard.

After a while, a black-faced man entered the house, and the scar on his face made people know that he was breaking into the rivers and lakes at first sight, and his expression was a little restrained.

"Sit, what is the dignified demon bodhisattva going to do with a restrained face?" Zhao Zheng joked at the man in front of him.

Meng Liang sat down, and only then did he have the arrogance of the rivers and lakes, and smiled freely: "It's all called by the people of the rivers and lakes, otherwise it can deter strong enemies." "Since Zhao Zheng cured the Demon Bodhisattva that day, the Demon Bodhisattva has been loyal to Zhao Zheng with all his heart, and this name is naturally known to Zhao Zheng.

At this time, the boss brought the noodles up, Zhao Zheng pushed the noodles to Meng Liang, and jokingly said: "You eat first, and you have to stand guard for me!" ”

The boss heard Zhao Zheng's tone, and secretly wondered if this kind little brother was still in that office, and this man was his subordinate? But it doesn't feel like it's a call to the family.

When the shopkeeper was puzzled, two soldiers patrolling the city came, their eyes were bloodshot, obviously they hadn't slept all night, and shouted at the shopkeeper: "Man, come here for two bowls of noodles." ”

"Haole, guest officer, you wait first, and I'll serve it to you right away."

The two soldiers looked at the two bowls of noodles that had been made on the stove: "Aren't there two bowls?" Bring it to you! ”

The shopkeeper panicked, these big-headed soldiers are the most difficult to mess with, but Zhao Zheng in the store didn't dare to offend, so he had to stiffen his head and say: "Two guest officers, these are those two guests." Saying that, the shopkeeper pointed to Zhao Zheng, meaning to see people's clothes clearly, don't mess with Jiang Long.

The two soldiers were obviously not in a good mood, and said impatiently: "Your mother is not behaving properly!" ”

"Give them two, it's hard to patrol the city." Zhao Zheng sat next to him and naturally listened clearly, ready to calm things down.

Seeing Zhao Zheng so acquainted, the two soldiers took away the pasta.

With Zhao Zheng's current vision, he naturally wouldn't be angry about this little thing, looking at Meng Liang, who was already full of anger in front of him, he thought of a question, and was a little curious about how he would answer, in order not to let the two hear it, so he asked in a low voice: "What would you do in normal times?" ”

Meng Liang said hatefully: "Go up and slap me twice, and if you leave, the world won't be able to catch me anyway." ”

Zhao Zheng smiled: "No wonder you can't marry a wife!" Always so impulsive, you have a conflict with them, if there is a family in the house, you will definitely not be able to escape, where will people suffer some losses. ”

"Hey! What are you guys doing there? Meng Liang's voice obviously caught the attention of the two men.

Meng Liang smiled at this time: "Little Immortal Chief, it's not me who caused trouble, it's the matter that caused it." Now what do you see? ”

Zhao Zheng glanced at Meng Liang, if it weren't for his voice being higher, how could the two of them hear it: "You are a guard, it's time for you to go up, just teach a little lesson." Zhao Zheng didn't want to reveal his identity, so he had to let Meng Liang solve it himself.

Meng Liang shouted, his mood seemed to be extremely happy, and he was ready to start.

Zhao Zheng settled the account and left with Chengdao.

――

Huzhou City was changed to Anji Prefecture four years ago, but both the people and officials are still used to calling him Huzhou, the name of Huzhou has a history of 600 years, and it can be said that it can change.

As for why the emperor changed it to Anji Prefecture, the general condemnation of the government and the opposition thought that this was because the emperor was covering up some dirty things back then, and changed it to Anji, which means peace and auspiciousness.

Because King Ji was killed in Huzhou back then.

And today an assassination is also being staged in an alley, and it seems that Huzhou is finally bloody.

A man covered the terrible scar on his chest, looked at the man in front of him in horror like a hellish ghost, and said with great difficulty: "Chen Bao, why? ”

Chen Bao sneered: "Do you deserve to die? Did you do less filthy things back then? I should have killed the enemy for you, so you could protect the national teacher, but you disobeyed the law and didn't listen to the order. ”

Saying that, Chen Bao pulled open his chest, revealing a huge scar: "This is what was left behind for you to kill the enemy back then." Now that you have broken your promise, this wound should be repaid to you! ”
