Chapter 851: Someone Collaborates with the Enemy
Just experienced the horse bandits, but the city of Yunnei Prefecture has returned to its former tranquility. The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info is just a lack of businessmen and a little less hustle.
Xue Gang, the state pastor, walked out of the mansion in a huff, began to post notices, and sent a servant to explain.
"Recruitment?"
"No, I heard that it seems to be a young ......."
"What is youth?"
"It is said that it is ploughing the land when the farm is busy, and holding knives and guns in wartime, and dealing with horse bandits ......"
"If you want me to say, the horse bandits are the merchants who are going to rob, what do we have to do?"
"If the merchant doesn't come, I'm afraid you won't have anywhere to buy salt if you want to!"
"That's the same thing......"
"What's the benefit of being young?"
"I heard that the grain and grass are provided by the merchants, and the money is always paid in a month, including two meals......"
"Scared, these businessmen are willing to spend money?"
"If they are looted by the horse bandits again, I'm afraid they will have to drink the northwest wind! I can't make a lot of money, I can't make a lot of money! ”
"That's right!"
"I heard that the state pastor also specially invited officers and soldiers to train the young and strong, and established a chamber of commerce, and paid the money to do business in Yunnei Prefecture City......"
"What about those who don't pay?"
"Then it's better to go to Danzhou, or some other private ......"
"At least there are officers and soldiers guarding Danzhou, and other private affairs are in the depths of the grassland, if you are looted, you should not be called every day, and the earth is not ......"
"I'm afraid those businessmen are going to bleed profusely...... some people gloat, some people clap their hands and say fast, the world is varied, and so on.
"And there is no armor and a crossbow, what kind of hemorrhage? However, with spears as the mainstay, a few pieces of wood and a few blades are used, and it is only a few dollars? The state pastor has set up a chamber of commerce, and if he takes out the money and silver in it, I'm afraid he can shoot thousands of guns......"
This is true, in Dashun, the most difficult thing to ban is not bows and crossbows, but knives and guns. The knife is okay to say, after all, it is so long. But the gun is different, as soon as the blade of the gun is removed, it is a stick, can it be said that people also commit crimes with a stick? In the border ten miles and eight villages, which village does not have young people and does not invite people to shoot the blade? If you are begging for a living at the border, you can't entrust your life to unreliable officers and soldiers.
If it's okay, the officers and soldiers will come quickly; If something happens, it is good to be late, and they can often delay it for three to five days, and only after the danger has passed will these officers and men come to "inquire about the situation."
People are afraid of death, and it is not worth taking their lives for the sake of irrelevant horse bandits.
But the people who live in Yunnei Zhou City can't leave! Therefore, it is necessary to build a young and strong body. Of course, Xue Gang still wanted to repair the city gate, but he hadn't closed the city gate for a long time, and he didn't know if it was broken. All this needs money, Xue Gang frowned, this is not the Yuan Shou period, he hinted that there were countless people who came to stammer, give gifts, and give money. Don't look at the small city of Yunneizhou, but there are also supervisors inside. Besides, guarding a group of bitter mixed people, what can you do?
However, soon Xue Gang knew that the merchants did not want to give up Yunnei Prefecture City, and even were most concerned about the establishment of Qingzhuang.
In less than half a day, there were already five businessmen who came to consult and go through the procedures for joining the Chamber of Commerce, and this was the most depressed time in Yunnei Prefecture. After these five businessmen paid the money for joining the association, they left the state pastoral mansion with a smile on their faces, as if the horse bandits of the previous days were no longer troublesome.
Indeed, with these more than 1,000 elite cavalry here, the rabble, the horse bandits who only dare to attack the common people and businessmen, are indeed not arrogant.
"When you join the Chamber of Commerce, are you paying money here?"
A merchant wearing a sheepskin jacket who seemed to have come down from the desert, speaking fluent Chinese, asked the border soldiers who were guarding in front of the governor's mansion.
"Just go in, the governor and the general are inside."
"Thank you, brother!" The man was a bit chivalrous, arched his hand, and strode into the mansion. "The villain meets his old parents and the general!" The old parents refer to the magistrate, and generally refer to the magistrate or something. However, Yunnei Prefecture City is not big, it is only equivalent to a market town in the Central Plains, and it is not wrong for this merchant to call it so.
"You're here to join, aren't you? Come on, come on, sign here, hand over the monthly money, and prepare a stone of grain and grass every month. ”
Xue Gang had already received five merchants, and his confidence had increased greatly, and it seemed that he also had some hope in Yunnei Prefecture City. If he manages this remote place like a foreign Jiangnan, the imperial court may continue to use him, remove the name of his criminal official, and transfer him back to the Central Plains.
People have hope, and they work very hard, and Xue Gang is in this state. He is in his prime, but he is only forty years old, and he has only been in Yunnei Prefecture for a few years, and he is already like a person fifty miles away. He misses the warm flowers of the Central Plains all the time, the Jiangnan of the small bridges and flowing waters. If you can get out of this ghost place, even if you go to Guangnan East Road, it's better than in Yunneizhou!
The merchant was not ambiguous, and after paying the money, he said, "I have already transported the grain and grass, where to put it?" ”
Xue Gang was a little surprised and said: "Put it in the general's camp, and someone will sign for it." ”
The merchant hesitated for a moment before he said cautiously: "There is a sentence, I don't know whether to say it or not?" ”
Zhi Kexing had already noticed his costume, which was clearly a leather jacket that he would only wear when he went deep into the desert, and said briefly and forcefully: "Say it! ”
"Governor, general, you can also see that I have just returned from the desert and know some information. This group of horse bandits, according to the Khitan herdsmen, was established in the past year, and the leader is a Han ......"
"Han Chinese?"
Xue Gang and Zhi Kexing glanced at each other, and intuitively felt that this matter was not so simple.
"That's right, it's the Han Chinese, they recruited Khitan, Xi, Jurchen, Murowei, Bohai and other displaced people to form a horse bandit, specializing in robbing merchants. But this time, somehow, I actually knew the reality of Yunnei Prefecture, and came all the way to loot. The villain suspects that someone is collaborating with the enemy, otherwise how would the horse bandits know that the border army in the Great Wall happens to be the time when the troops are the weakest and not suitable to send troops? ”
The border army has a small drill every five days and a big drill once a month, which has almost become customized. However, every five days of training, all border armies are irregular, not people who know the inside situation can't figure out the law at all, let alone practice once a month, and they can do whatever they want. As soon as the top officer of the border army felt that the training was slack, he would immediately order that the whole army must be trained within three days.
Xue Gang and Zhi Kexing hadn't thought so much before, but after being reminded by this businessman, they were not stupid people, so they naturally understood the doorway.
"Sure enough, someone collaborated with the enemy!"
Zhi Kexing said coldly, "What a house thief who eats inside and out, did he eat a bear's heart, or swallowed a leopard's gall?" ”
Xue Gang is also a good person, and said quietly: "You have done a good job, if you find out about these secrets again, don't alarm others, just report quietly." ”
After the merchant said goodbye with a thousand words of thanks, Xue just said worriedly: "The person who collaborates with the enemy must be very familiar with the border army, otherwise how can he master the training time of the border army?" With such a family thief, it is not easy to hunt down horse bandits, ......" (To be continued.) )
