The river is surging, hundreds of boats are competing for the stream, thousands of sails are competing, and it is a prosperous scene.

A fleet of more than a dozen boats went down the river, as fast as a galloping horse. The sides of the ship to pilot the big ship are full of flags of various colors, waving in the wind, magnificent, and a large flag with white characters on a black background flying several zhang wide on its main mast, and the word "Xu" is extremely eye-catching.

It was nearly noon, a thin and handsome black-robed young man stepped onto the deck, standing under the mainmast with his hands in his hands, looking far into the east.

An old man in gray approached the black-robed young man and greeted him with a smile, "Young master, there is still about half an hour's journey from Baimajin, if nothing else, the young master will be able to go home and see the proprietor at dusk." ”

"This trip to Jiangzuo has been delayed for a longer time." The black-robed young man smiled, and a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes, "Uncle Jiu is also very hard, do you want to go home with a certain person after arriving at Baima?" ”

The gray-clothed old man hesitated for a moment, shook his head, and showed a worried look in his eyes, "Last month, the big river flooded, inundating most of the counties on the north and south banks, and it is said that there are millions of victims in Henan and Hebei. In this case, the emperor should have ordered the local government to immediately open warehouses to release grain to help the victims, but along the way, everything he saw and heard was related to the preparation for the Eastern Crusade, and it was rare for the government to open warehouses for relief. If the victims have no way to live, they will gather people to rebel, they will burn, kill and plunder, and the brunt of them will be the rich people everywhere. ”

The old man in gray glanced at the young man, and stopped talking.

The proprietor, Xu Gai, was the first person in the shipping industry on both sides of the river, with many industries and astonishing wealth, so he was naturally the target of the rebels. Although Xu Gai is in Weinan County, his personal safety is guaranteed, but his farms, workshops and other industries scattered all over the country are not guaranteed, and they will be looted by the victims at any time. However, Xu Gai is generous, good at doing good deeds, and has a good reputation in Henan, and at this critical moment, he will not be stingy with wealth, and will definitely do his best to help the victims. This time, the young master Xu Shichang traveled to Jiangzuo to buy food, which can be used for disaster relief, so if nothing else, after the fleet arrives in Baimajin, Xu's disaster relief will also be further developed, and people like Jiu Bo, who are hired to do things for Xu, of course, have to be busy all the time, how can they have time to go home and reunite with their relatives?

Xu Shiyun's face gradually became gloomy, his eyes were full of melancholy, not only worried about the future of his father and family, but also worried about the affected civilians who were struggling to live and die, and at the same time full of resentment against the emperor and the powerful bureaucrats of the Eastern Capital who forcibly inflicted all kinds of "atrocities" on the people of Shandong for the sake of the Eastern Crusade. (The so-called "Shandong" refers to all areas east of the Taihang Mountains, including the north and south of the Great River and most of the Central Plains.) ）

The reason why the damage caused by the floods in Shandong this year has increased exponentially is precisely because of the existence of these "atrocities". In order to complete the war preparations issued by the emperor and the Eastern Capital, the local government not only reduced the number of conscription guides in large quantities, but also uncontrolled conscription and military service in the fields that no one cultivated, and no one in the workshops produced, and the unlimited collection of war materials such as money and grain, led to the exhaustion of warehouses in various parts of Shandong and the loss of relief power, and it is especially interesting to refer to the fact that after the disaster, the emperor and the powerful bureaucrats of the Eastern Capital turned a deaf ear and ignored it, allowing the people of Shandong to die helplessly and tragically.

Guanlong people deserve to die, Guanlong people deserve to go to hell. Xu Shiyun cursed angrily.

The grudge between the Shandong people and the Guanlong people has a long history. Since the Northern Wei Dynasty of the Tuoba clan was divided into two independent regimes in the east and west, the Shandong people and the Guanlong people fought in the Yellow River Valley for decades, during which the Shandong people always had the advantage, but the Guanlong people occupied the geographical advantage, and shattered the dream of the Shandong people to unify the Yellow River valley again and again. More than 30 years ago, the Guanlong people miraculously defeated the Gaoqi regime in Shandong and unified the Yellow River Valley. Later, the dynasty changed, and Yang Jian established the Great Sui and defeated Jiangzuo Chen to unify Middle Earth.

Those Guanlong people, who were once called barbarians, actually won the final victory in the Great War of Middle-earth Unification, they were triumphant, and came to Middle-earth with the arrogant attitude of the victors, unscrupulously attacking and containing their former opponents Shandong and Jiangzuo people, and although the Shandong and Jiangzuo people who were defeaters regarded themselves as the inheritors of the Middle Earth civilization, and were proud of their thousands of years of long culture and pure Han blood, but at this moment they could only bow their arrogant heads, swallow their anger, and patiently wait for the opportunity to fight back. In order to make a comeback.

Born in Lihu County, Dongjun County, Henan Province, Xu Shiqian was a pure Shandong, an angry Shandong youth with a strong sense of resistance to Guan Long's rule.

"I'm more worried about the refugees." Xu Shiyun looked at the old man in gray with a sad look in his eyes, "Perhaps, when I go home, I see hunger all over the wilderness, and it is hell on earth." ”

The wind was howling, like countless souls crying in the dark, making people sad.

Bai Majin gradually entered Xu Shichang's sight.

Baimajin is an ancient ferry port with a long history, especially since the Yellow River was diverted in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, Baimajin Kou has become the most famous ferry port connecting the north and south of the river, and it is also a famous military pass, and it is one of the important gateways into the Central Plains. At the beginning of the year, the emperor issued an edict to conquer Goguryeo, and the whole of China was busy with the war, and Baekmajin became one of the busiest and most crowded Jinkou on the north-south transportation corridor.

The large and small boats docked at the ferry stretch for miles, and all kinds of boats on the wide river are shuttling back and forth, and the avenue connecting Jinkou and Hakuba Castle, the capital of Dongjun, is even more bustling with people, busy with traffic, and very lively.

Xu's fleet slowly drove in the middle of the river, slowly approaching the mouth of Baimajin.

Xu's shipping is quite famous in the north and south of the river, and has its own special wharf in some shipping hubs or famous Jinkou, such as Baima Jinkou, which has Xu's self-built freight terminal. During the war, a qiē resources were controlled by the empire and its bureaucracy, such as Xu's shipping and other giant merchants and wealthy even if they had the family elite as their backers, they could not escape the fate of being forcibly "requisitioned", but after all, Xu's shipping is a member of the empire's immediate interest groups, although its position is very low, but since ancient times, it can still be protected by power, it can earn the empire's money, and the lower can plunder the wealth of civilians, and make war money.

The Xu's cargo terminal was a busy scene, with all kinds of materials piled up like a mountain, and hundreds of strong men were loading goods to a fleet of ships docked at the dock. Several Tsing Yi officials or shuttled on the shore, or swam on the boat, followed by a group of retinues and black-clothed merchants, hugging back and forth, and in the distance you can see some guards in yellow uniforms, at a glance, you can know that this fleet is transporting war materials for the government, and its destination is Zhuo County, an important town in the north.

There was also a group of idle people on the dock, about a dozen sturdy men, dressed in white or gray, disheveled, with unruly expressions, a domineering posture, almost without carving the word ruffian on their faces. They were gathered at the northwest corner of the wharf, and one of them, a man of great height, about twenty-five or sixteen years of age, with a short black beard, and a majestic man, stood on top of a pile of wooden boxes without any eyes, and looked up into the distance, as if looking for something on the surface of the river.

No one provoked them, although the Xu wharf had been requisitioned by the government and belonged to the military forbidden land, everyone seemed to have not seen them, including those Tsing Yi officials and uniformed guards, all pretending not to see, each doing their own thing, and not interfering with each other.

"It's coming, it's coming,......" the mighty man suddenly shouted excitedly, "Xu Dalang is back." ”

This voice screamed so loudly that not only a group of "idlers" raised their eyes to look at the river, but even many busy people around stopped what they were doing, looking for "Xu Dalang" on the river, and called each other, "The young master is back......"

Xu Shixun's fleet came down the river and quickly appeared in everyone's sight, but the capacity of the dock was limited, and Xu Shixun and his fleet could only suspend the river.

"Straight Lady Thief ......" The mighty man frowned thickly, burst out with hatred, and then waved his hand at the "idler", "Quickly find a boat, I want to meet Xu Dalang." ”

Xu Shiyun saw a small boat rushing out of the dock and rowing in a hurry, and a trace of ominous thoughts suddenly passed through his heart. Could it be that Uncle Jiu is right, and something happened at home? While he was thinking wildly, a sailor's sharp-eyed sailor pointed to the speeding boat and shouted, "It seems that there is a single owner on the boat......

Shan Xiongxin? Brother? Isn't he helping Ming Gong with disaster relief? Do you have time to pick up so-and-so? Maybe it's for this boatload of food? Xu Shiyun smiled, walked forward, suddenly, he thought of something, his face suddenly grim, and while walking quickly to the side of the ship, he ordered the sailors around him, "Put down the rope ladder immediately." ”

The rope ladder hung down, and the boat came like an arrow.

Xu Shiyun waved at Shan Xiongxin, "Brother......"

Shan Xiongxin waved his hand, but he didn't speak, and his expression was very strict. Xu Shiyun's ominous thoughts were even worse, and he suddenly felt a sense of suffocation in his heart, and couldn't help but open his mouth and take a few deep breaths of the cool river breeze. A faint coolness gradually permeated the whole body, which slightly dispelled the sudden tension.

The boat approached, and Shan Xiong Xinyuan roped up the ladder. Xu Shiyun stretched out his hand to pull him onto the deck, and he didn't say hello, and asked eagerly, "Brother, has there been an accident in the family?" ”

Shan Xiongxin still didn't speak, with a gloomy face, pushed away the group of sailors around him, and strode towards the cabin.

Xu Shiyun hurriedly followed. After entering the cabin, he covered the door, and without waiting for Xu Shiyun to speak, Shan Xiongxin said angrily, "Ming Gong was arrested and imprisoned, and he is going to be killed." ”

Xu Shiyun was very shocked, although the speculation in his heart was confirmed, but this incident still made him unbelievable.
