Chapter 121: Capture the city

The east bed is open-minded, and it is an anecdote in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

In the Jin Dynasty, Taifu Xi married with Wang Chengxiang's family, and sent a doorman to the Wang family with his own handwritten letter to discuss. After Prime Minister Wang Cheng saw the letter, he said to the doorman, I will arrange all the men of the right age in the family to the east wing today, and you can choose it yourself. As a result, the school-age men of the Wang family began to freshen up and clean up, lest they were not clean enough. Only Wang Xizhi was lying on the bed, sleeping with his belly exposed. The doorman felt that this person was rude and went back to report to Mrs. Xi. As a result, Mrs. Xi felt that Wang Xizhi was not pretentious, so he married his daughter to him.

Lu Luzeng's father and son are all well-educated, and of course they know this allusion. He immediately smiled and waved his hand, and ordered the maid to stand down. Immediately, the three of them looked at each other again, shook their heads and smiled.

"Twin older!" Afraid that his younger brother would be too lost, Lu Kun smiled and comforted.

"Perhaps, although this son is a martial artist, his knowledge is not necessarily too bad. With this arrangement, I am worthy of my mother's mother! Lu Peng also smiled reluctantly and responded with a sigh.

"In the troubled times, how do you two still want to choose!" Lu Luzeng also let out a long sigh, and then added in a low voice, "Find a scholar like you and my father and son, can you protect her when the knife cuts her?!" That's it! Tomorrow, I will go to Jun Yong and ask him to probe Zhu Eighty-one's side first. Then find a suitable matchmaker and let him replace Zhu Eighty-one to come to our house to propose marriage. Alas, trouble! How can the old man be like a daughter-in-law for his grandson Zhang Luo?! ”

"I would like to listen to my father's arrangement!" The eldest and second eldest of the Lu family smiled helplessly and responded in unison.

yes, how else can you choose. The Lu family has been regarded by the court as a fellow thief, and the glory and wealth have become a thing of the past. And among the upstarts on the side of the Red Turban Army, which one is not a large number of wives and concubines in the family now. is the only one who is still alone, and Shuang'er doesn't have to be bullied by other women when he marries. And the Lu family has also received another strong reinforcement since then.

The daughter of a large family is destined to weave a network of relationships for the family when she is born. And the Lu family, at this moment on the side of the Red Turban Army, what they lack most is a reliable relationship. From this point of view, Lu Shuangshuang and Zhu Eighty-one are also a match made in heaven.

It's just that marriage in this era is not as simple as Zhu Dapeng's era. The two of them looked at the right eyes and went to the civil affairs department to register with their household registration booklets. In this era, even if it is something that has been set for a long time. The man also has to go through a three-book and six-ceremony cutscene, as if the more trouble it is, the more it can show the importance of both parties to this matter.

Xuzhou military commander Shi Zhao Junyong is Lu Luzeng's closed disciple, and according to his generation, he can be regarded as Lu Shuangshuang's uncle. If Zhu Eighty-one marries Lu Shuangshuang, he will be able to be Zhu Eighty-one's elder naturally. This can not only greatly ease the originally not very harmonious relationship between the two sides, but also help him consolidate his position in the Xuzhou Red Turban in the future. Therefore, after receiving Lu Luzeng's request, Zhao Junyong immediately agreed to do his best to complete the matter.

However, although he agreed, Zhao Junyong couldn't go directly to Zhu Bayi and ask the other party if he was willing to marry Lu Luzeng's granddaughter. Just like Lu Luzeng, even if he wanted to entrust his granddaughter to Zhu Eighty-one, he couldn't come forward in person. As the woman's nominal uncle, he couldn't go to Zhang Luo in person. That will give outsiders the feeling that the daughter of the Lu family can't get married, and damage the woman's reputation. In addition, if Zhu Eighty-one, a stunned young man, really has a habit of dragon yang as rumored by the outside world, he will be directly rejected by the other party, which is really boring.

As a result, Zhao Junyong could only entrust this matter to his henchman Li Mubai. Then Li Mubai first went to contact Su Mingzhe, the chief of the left army. First of all, Mr. Su beat the side drum for Zhu Eighty-one first, and then everyone will find a way to push this matter further.

As a result, he went around and around, and before Su Mingzhe could poke out Zhu Eighty-one's mouth, the first batch of 150 arquebuses in the left army's workshop had been equipped in place. Zhu Eighty-one was overjoyed and immediately divided his soldiers and horses into two roads. All the way to Wu Twenty-two and Wang Bi, he led two hundred soldiers and one thousand auxiliaries, raised their own banners, and made a feint attack on the front line of Dangshan and Yucheng, putting on a posture of not breaking Suiyang and vowing not to give up. On the other way, it was 100 personal soldiers, 800 soldiers and 4,000 auxiliary soldiers, who got on the 400-stone ship captured from Lu Luzeng and secretly leased by the boat gang.

One stone of rice is equivalent to the unit of measurement of later generations, which is almost exactly 60 kilograms. A large ship with a load of 400 stones is 24,000 kilograms. The lower cabin was loaded with baggage, and the upper cabin was manned, and the four thousand brothers and their baggage, but twenty or so ships, were easily loaded.

After Sesame Li occupied Xuzhou, he only set up cards to collect taxes, and did not try to cut off the north-south shipping. Recently, after secret contact with the ship gang, the efficiency of customs clearance has been greatly improved. Therefore, on the Yellow River at present, ships are shuttling non-stop, and large and small masts are towering like forests. More than 20 common grain ships, before dawn, deliberately opened a distance between each other, outsiders did not chase carefully, and it was impossible to see that this was a fleet transporting troops.

Among the left army, there were originally some men who used to beg for a living on the water. After defeating the Afghans on the North Shore more than a month ago, the Boat Gang had sent a full hundred men. These men are very good at handling boats, especially when going down the river, and they are all very skilled.

In this way, the fleet made a steady long way. After everyone completely opened the hard sail woven by the bamboo strips, the degree was suddenly amazingly high, and they arrived near Suqian in one day. That night, I found a shelter in the lake and gathered to rest. Before dawn the next day, they quietly dispersed among the passing merchant ships and rushed to their destination.

Suqian is only more than 200 miles away from Huai'an. If you don't take into account the success rate of the sneak attack, you can go on the beach and land on the shore after walking for another day and half a night. Zhu Eighty-one did not dare to take risks, but according to the mention of Zhu Qiang, the leader of the boat gang in the team, after sunset, with the help of the cover of night, the fleet was regrouped at a location called Qinghekou more than 20 miles away.

When he arrived here, Zhu Bayi finally understood that the Qinghe, which he had seen countless times on the map and had mentioned countless times to Lu Lu a few days ago, was part of the Huaihe River in later generations. It's just that the upper reaches of this river are called Huaishui, and the downstream is connected to the Yellow River, so it is called Qinghe. And now at the end of the surging Yellow River, in the future generations, there is only a palm-wide small ditch, not to see with their own eyes, no one can imagine its grandeur in the past!

But now, Zhu Eighty-one has no time to be nostalgic for the past and the present. Hurry up and let everyone boil water to cook, and restore the body. The brothers of the left army are all natives of Xuzhou, and they have been accustomed to floods since childhood, but few people are seasick. Therefore, after a good night's sleep, everyone becomes vibrant.

On the morning of the third day, he got up, but did not disperse the fleet again. Instead, he played the banner of the Chen family firm, came out of the Qinghe estuary, and continued to hurry with a swagger. In the morning, they arrived at the foot of Hanshin Castle.

On the pier at the north gate of Hanxin City, hundreds of large and small ships from all over the country have already been densely gathered. All of them have dropped anchor and are ready to be searched and exploited by the government. Only here, after being searched by the official officials, and then paying a high tax, can they be transferred to the canal waterway in the west of the city and go to the wharf on the west side of Huai'an Mansion to unload the goods. Then they loaded it with salt, miscanthus salt, porcelain, and various other specialties of the two Huai, and returned to their respective places to make huge profits.

With the guidance of Zhu Qiang, the leader of the boat gang, the fleet familiarly found the edge of the dock and lowered the anchor, and then put on a new appearance of not knowing the rules, released the springboard, and began to push grain bags to the shore one after another.

"You, what are you doing?!" Li Liang, who was blackmailing vendors in the center of the wharf to inspect the official government, immediately led more than 20 more than 20 subordinates to pounce, "Don't you understand the rules?" When did this Hanxincheng Wharf become a place for unloading?! ”

"Oh, this big man, the big shopkeeper of our house really didn't say it, really didn't say it! You can be accommodating, our bags of grain are from the shops in the city. When we send him over, we'll leave at once, leave at once! Seeing this, Chen De, who was dressed as a big steward, immediately took Hu Dahai and Wu Liangmou and walked quickly to meet them. While bowing to Li Liang for inspection, he quietly stuffed several large bills into this person's hand.

It's good that he doesn't give bribes, but when he saw that the bribes were actually too hard to wipe his buttocks, Li Qiang, the inspector, immediately became furious, raised his hand, first slapped Chen Deyi's iron ruler, and then shouted at the officials behind him, "Go to your grandmother's accommodation, come on, detain the boat for Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu suspects that these ships are hiding weapons and weapons!" ”

"Yes!" The salters obeyed the order and rushed towards the boat with sticks and chains. Where was Chen De willing to let go, he first carried an iron ruler with his shoulder, and then grabbed Li Liang's arm and pulled it down, and with a "click", the person's right arm was dismounted.

Immediately, he hooked his left foot lightly, pressed down on his shoulder, and quickly threw the opponent in front of him. One foot slammed on his back, and he hit him with the iron ruler he snatched and hit his head and face, "Your grandmother's eyes don't grow!" Even our Chen family's fleet dares to search it. Lao Tzu sees that you are tired and crooked. Lao Tzu will fulfill you today! ”

"What are you doing, what are you doing, don't fight, he is our inspection!" The salts are used to bullying people, where have you ever seen such a battle? One by one, they raised the iron chain sticks, but they didn't dare to continue to rush forward.

"What? Teach your master a lesson for this man who doesn't have long eyes. Is Liu Tietou here? Let him come out and talk to our stewards! Hu Dahai took a step forward and stood in front of Chen De. He looked at the salters viciously and scolded loudly.

Liu Tietou is the nickname of the judge Liu Jia, according to the standards of the Great Yuan Dynasty, the judge of Huai'an Mansion is from the three grades, and even the following state Yin has to be the first to salute, respectfully call Liu Gong, who dares to call him Tietou in public? Zhongyan Ding was suppressed by the momentum of Hu Dahai and others, dropped a few cruel words, and ran into the city to move the rescuers.

It was only at this moment that the other vendors and men around understood what had happened. They were all so frightened that they shrank into their cabins, and they didn't dare to make a sound. After waiting for a while and seeing that there was no other movement around, a few good people quietly poked out half of their heads and shouted at Chen De: "Hey, I said that the new steward?!" Hurry up and sail and hide somewhere else! This Master Liu usually lives in Han Xin City, and when he comes, if you can't get a strong relationship. If you don't die, I'm afraid you will have to peel off your skin today! ”

"What a thing he is! From the three-grade judge, I phew! Chen De put on a picture of a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers, and spat at Li Liang, who was under his feet, in the face. offended our master, said that his judge was masturbated, and he would be masturbated to the end! I didn't even leave him a wooden bowl to eat! ”

"You, you kid have, you have a kind!" A few good people heard about it, and the rest of the persuasion was not said again. Hurry back to your cabin and beckon the guys to pull anchor and set sail. Get out of the way of the water around Chen's fleet to avoid being hit by the fish in the pond for a while.

That Chen De was seven dissatisfied and eight were angry, while torturing Li Liang with the tip of his left boot, he continued to shout disdainfully, "Grandma, I haven't come to Huai'an Mansion for a few days to do business, and even a rabbit dares to call himself a master." I think back then, when the children of our Chen family swept through Lianghuai, the head of the family was not so arrogant. What else is Liu Tietou, I'll touch it later, and see if his head is made of iron! ”

"Okay, then the old man will let you touch it!" As soon as the words fell, there was a sudden sound of snorting at the city gate. Immediately after, a famous military general with a full face and a round waist, with more than 50 soldiers with big shoulders and round waists, killed violently. Walked in front of Chen De in three steps and two steps, clasped his hands into fists, "This little brother, the lower official is Liu Jia." I don't know which boss this little brother's family head is, but he actually deigned to send a fleet to Liu's land?! ”

"You are Liu Jia?!" Chen De kicked away the inspector Li Liang, who had already taken in more air and less air out, and looked up and down with a frown.

Seeing that he was still so arrogant when he was dying, Judge Liu Jia really couldn't make up his mind. If the other party's backstage is a Han official, he will never use such a caravan steward who does not know whether he is alive or dead. Of course, even if you kill this person immediately, you don't have to worry about any trouble.

Judging from the arrogant posture of the other party, it is very likely that his backstage is a lustful man or a Mongolian master, and this problem is complicated. At least, it's not worth having a direct conflict with them for an inaccessible inspection.

Thinking of this section, Liu Jiaqiang, the judge of the third grade of Huai'an Mansion, suppressed his anger and lightly arched his hand again, "Exactly!" Where did the little brother come from? Liu's subordinates are clumsy, if there is anything offended, please bear with me! ”

"You know your men are clumsy!" Before Chen De suffered at home, he was a gentleman. Therefore, pretending to be a slave of a wealthy family, there is no flaw at all, "I can't even recognize the banner of our Chen family." Look for yourself, do you know this thing?! ”

As he spoke, he took out a bronze shield from his waist and handed it to Hu Dahai casually. "Lao Hu, then the past has opened the eyes of Lord Liu!"

"Yes!" Hu Dahai pretended to be a wealthy servant, took the token, and swaggered towards Liu Jia, "Look for yourself, who is our owner?!" ”

"Well, thank you!" Liu Jia, the third-grade judge, did not dare to slack off, took the token with both hands, and held it in front of his eyes to watch carefully. I saw that on the front of the token was a sun, shining brightly, and on the other side, there was an infinite flame, surging, as if it was about to burn the whole world.

"This is, this is the Great Bright Shield!" Liu Jia shuddered violently in his heart, and immediately ordered loudly, "Come onβ€”"

"It's late!" Hu Dahai picked up his left arm and smashed his elbow on his neck. Immediately, his right hand pulled out the steel knife from his waist, and an iron lock came across the river. The sword shines everywhere, and the blood flows like a river!

Note: Huai'an in the Yuan Dynasty and Huai'an in modern times are not the same place. Huai'an in the Yuan Dynasty is located in the area of Huai'an District of modern Huai'an City.
