Chapter 369: Strong Dragon and Earth Head Snake
After Wang Shimao finished speaking, he found that the big guys all looked weird, crying and laughing, which made him also confused.
"Okay, isn't it possible for Lu Bing to show your strength if he is unlucky? I see that Your Majesty will soon make an order for you to go to Tianjin, and this kind of thing is to open the sea, I still want you to do it! ”
Wang Shimao danced with his hands, that proud man, he felt that the greatest luck in his life was to have such a capable cousin as Tang Yi, by the way, and his sister-in-law! Speaking of which, he is more majestic than the father of the governor of Jiliao, and he has to raise his waist.
"It's not soon, but it's already ordered!" Wang Shizhen sighed.
Wang Shimao slapped happily, "That's great, I'll just say that Your Majesty has the wisdom to know people!" ”
Xu Wei couldn't help it, and scolded: "I have never seen such a heartless person as you, Lu Bingke is a dignified Taibao, the Governor of Jinyi Wei, he can't suppress it, Tianjin is definitely Longtan Tiger's Den, I think it is more than lucky." ”
Wang Shimao still didn't believe it, and shouted strangely: "How come, even if it is really Longtan Tiger's Den, I am full of confidence in doing it!" ”
"It's rare that Jingmei looks up to me so much!"
Tang Yi looked up to the sky and sighed, Wang Shimao smiled and said, "That's not it, I firmly believe that you have an idea no matter how difficult it is?" ”
"Phew, it's still an idea, I don't even know what's going on in Tianjin!" Tang Yi hugged his head and wailed, he couldn't figure it out, wasn't it just a sea transport, how could there be a problem?
Tang Yi was puzzled, thinking that he had got a patrol press, it was the experience that Jiajing gave him, and he just waited for the big boss to be satisfied, and he could go south to make a fortune.
But who would have thought that he would take a hedgehog, where can he be reasonable!
Xu Wei was also worried, Tang Yi was the soul of the small gang. He was embarrassed and everyone was not happy, he talked about it for a while, but everyone was born as a scholar, and he only mixed with the Qinggui Yamen of the Hanlin Academy in Beijing, and there was no news at all. Even if they do, they may not be able to understand it.
In the end, Tang Yi said helplessly: "The boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, and I will leave for Tianjin tomorrow to see how the situation is." ”
Xu Wei said: "Okay, I think you still bring more people and horses, it's best to ask your uncle to help, and be careful to sail the 10,000-year-old ship." ”
Tang Yi nodded thoughtfully, not only was it a mutiny, but he also offended Yan Dang, Yan Shifan's crazy guy just now. It doesn't have to be a ghostly idea, be careful.
While Tang Yi was packing his bags, he went to inform Zhu Xizhong and ask him to arrange guards.
When Tang Yi was busy working, suddenly the horse's hooves rattled outside, and as soon as he rode to the gate of the mansion, the war horse pounced and fell to the ground, throwing the knight out a long way. The majestic horse fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth. I can't see it anymore.
The knight didn't care, gritted his teeth and got up, slamming the knocker.
After a while, the family ran out of it, only to hear the knight keep muttering, "Lord Tang, I want to see Lord Tang!" ”
The family carried him into the courtyard. Tang Yi and the others hurried over, and when they saw it, Tang Yi was taken aback, isn't this guy the Seventh Taibao Zhou Shuo of Jinyiwei, how can he make it look like a ghost. Look at his thighs again, there are wounds on his back, and there is a carved arrow stuck in his buttocks.
Tang Yike was frightened, and hurriedly asked someone to find a doctor, and the big guy sent Zhou Shuo to the house, and Xu Wei brought a big bowl of water and poured it into Zhou Shuo.
Finally, this seventh Taibao finally opened his eyes, and when he saw Tang Yi, he almost cried.
"Lord Tang, I finally saw you, we almost said goodbye to heaven and man!" Zhou Shuo's eyes were red, and he kept coughing under excitement.
Tang Yi hurriedly said: "Seventh Taibao, don't worry, what's going on, I heard that there was a mutiny in Tianjin, how did you come out?" ”
Zhou Shuo tried to calm down his emotions and said: "Lord Tang, don't mention it, Tianjin is in chaos, it's all messy, not only the mutiny, but also the common people, the gangs in Caokou, and the gentry and businessmen, all of them are making a fuss. The Metropolitan Governor really couldn't hold it back, so he wrote to His Majesty to ask Lord Tang to ask you to come over and help. Who knew that as soon as the front foot of the letter was gone, a large group of people attacked the Jinyi Guard station on the back foot, killing and injuring hundreds of brothers, and the metropolitan governor was helpless, and sent me out to find Brother Tang for help. No, I was attacked by a group of bandits on the road, and all four of my brothers who followed me died, and if I hadn't been thick-skinned, I would have died a long time ago. From the morning all the way to Jingshi, three horses died. ”
After Zhou Shuo finished speaking, he coughed, his face turned red, but fortunately, the doctor rushed over and helped with a few injections, and Zhou Shuo calmed down.
Tang Yi's scalp was numb when he heard this, and his hair was exploding.
According to what Zhou Shuo said, Tianjin Wei is no longer as simple as a mutiny, it is simply a great chaos in the world, according to reason, troops should be sent immediately to quell the chaos, what are you looking for me to do as a weak scholar? Could it be that I can still lead the troops to fight on the battlefield!
Besides, this thing is really strange, opening the sea is obviously a good thing for Tianjin, how can the soldiers follow the trouble, the common people are ganged, and even the gentry are not satisfied, what kind of angry thing did Lu Bing do!
Tang Yi really wanted to arrest Governor Lu and question him well.
Tianjin Port, in Tang Yi's planning, is the future economic and trade center of the north, and its importance is self-evident.
If it weren't for Lu Bing's power, Tang Yi would be reluctant to give him such a big piece of fat! How can something good happen, when it comes to your hands, it will make a mess of chicken feathers, where is your Lu Bing's ability?
Perhaps feeling Tang Yi's anger, Zhou Shuo's old face turned red, and he snorted and said, "Lord Tang, the matter of Tianjin Wei is difficult to explain. The governor of the capital has no choice, so he has to find you, he said, if you don't care, Tianjin Wei's shipping will not succeed, and the southeast sea will be even more hopeless, you can do it yourself! ”
Okay, Zhou Shuo directly cheated.
Tang Yi was even more angry, but he really didn't have a problem with Lu Bing. He also saw that Lu Bing had caused a lot of trouble in Tianjin, and if he mobilized troops from all walks of life, even if the rebellion was put down, the political life of his Lu Dadu would be "game over", so he came to himself, hoping to solve the problem at the lowest cost. But I can't sit back and watch Tianjin have problems, otherwise those who open the sea have an excuse, and they can't even open the sea in Tianjin at the feet of the Son of Heaven.
At that time, Tang Yi was speechless.
The whole great cause of opening the sea will fail. Lu Bing is determined to eat herself!
After being silent for a while, Tang Yi stomped his feet hard, even if he was in Longtan Tiger's Den, he had to break through.
"Count me unlucky, and leave immediately." Tang Yi said angrily.
Five hundred capable cavalrymen were selected from the Beijing camp, and Zhu Xizhong wanted to go with Tang Yi in person, but Tang Yi didn't want to make a big deal out of it. rejected his kindness, just took Zhou Shuo, set off in the evening, and rushed directly to Tianjin Wei.
As soon as I left the capital, it was okay to enter the boundary of Tianjin, and I obviously felt that it was chaotic, and there were no pedestrians and merchants on the main road, and small groups of people with knives, guns and sticks appeared on the side of the street from time to time. If it weren't for Tang Yi, they would be many and powerful, and they would be cavalry. The gang made sure they got their hands dirty.
The more I looked at Tang Yi, the more confused I became, what was going on, in a short period of time, Tianjin would become this virtue?
They ran in a hurry for two days, and finally arrived at Tianjin Wei before sunset, far away from the city gate, and there was a team wearing flying fish suits. The brocade guard with the embroidered spring knife waited, and saw Tang Yi and his party coming. They hurried to catch up.
Led by the third Taibao Huo Jiangong, he hurriedly jumped off his horse and knelt on one knee.
"Humble to meet Lord Tang!"
"Don't be vain, your grade is higher than mine!" Tang Yi looked tired and angry, and said, "What's going on in the city?" Can you still hold it down? ”
Huo Jiangong smiled awkwardly, "Lord Tang, it's been a bit of a stop in the past two days. But they demanded negotiations. ”
Tang Yi knew that this "they" must be extraordinary, but it was not the place to speak at the moment, he hurriedly entered Tianjin City, and just entered the city, which startled everyone. The city was full of ruins and broken walls, and there were blood stains on the walls on the ground, exuding a pungent smell, Tang Yi's stomach turned over the river and the sea, and he forcibly endured it to the station of Jinyiwei.
It's not bad, there are a lot of people waiting for inspection, and it's safe.
As soon as Tang Yi arrived, he was directly invited inside, and as soon as he entered the door, Lu Bing took a young man to wait, and when he saw Tang Yi come in, Lu Bing was both happy and ashamed, and he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into.
"Lord Tang, I'm really sorry that Lu has caused you trouble."
Tang Yi waved his hand, "Lu Taibao, let's do it, let's make things clear first." ”
Lu Bing nodded awkwardly, beckoned Tang Yi into the living room, pointed at the young man, and said, "He is my nephew, called Lu Jun, you, you may know each other." ”
Tang Yi's face sank, and he suddenly realized, "I remembered, it was you who helped Zhao Xu make waves in Suzhou, why didn't you have enough fun in Suzhou, and came to Tianjin again?" ”
Lu Jun secretly wiped his sweat, and hurriedly bowed down and said: "Lord Tang, the little one is offended, and I ask the adult to atone for his sins, but the little one dares to swear to the sky, this time there is absolutely no trouble, I really helped my uncle to do things well, but I never imagined that there was really no way to lift a stone to hit my own feet, and I asked Lord Tang to help me a lot." ”
"Let's not talk about the past, let's talk about the present."
"Yes." Lu Jun hurriedly said: "Lord Tang, after my uncle arrived in Tianjin, he renovated the river wharf, set up a shipping yamen, collected taxes, and the small one was ordered to build a money village, everything went according to plan, and it was very smooth...... The trouble came ten days ago, a group of people found the small one, they opened their mouths and said that they wanted seventy percent of the dry shares of the bank, how could the small one agree to such a rude request and flatly refuse, and the problem came......
Lu Jun thought back, his heart palpitated, he didn't dare to continue, Lu Bing took over the conversation and said: "First of all, the people who cleaned up the wharf were picky, I sent someone over to play the pressure, and promised to give them a wage increase, who knew that these people offended Jinqi, and said that they didn't want to be paid, but they wanted to do shares, I grabbed more than a dozen leaders in a fit of anger, and then the matter was out of control, the people of Caokou followed first, and then the local people and gentry also said that the opening of the sea affects feng shui, gathered tens of thousands of people, and in desperation, mobilized the soldiers of Tianjin Sanwei, Who knew that they mutinied again, forcing them to ask for military salaries that had been in arrears for many years......"
Tang Yi was expressionless, "Lu Taibao, obviously these people are organized, do you know who is making waves behind the scenes?" ”
"Yes." Lu Bing lowered his voice and spit out three words: "Smell the fragrance and teach!" (To be continued.) )
