Mao Keyi didn't sleep well this night, and he always felt that something would happen.

He is the Zuoying Division under Huang Long, the deputy commander of Dongjiang Town, and to put it bluntly, he is the boss of Lushunkou.

Mao Keyi is actually not surnamed Mao, but Shang.

Their Shang family was originally in Hongdong, Shanxi, and Shang Keyi's grandfather, Shang Jiguan, moved his family to Liaonan Haizhou Wei during the Wanli period, and the Shang family took root here.

Shang Keyi is a posthumous son, he was born without a father, and he followed his uncle Shang Xueli to live, and those brothers in the big house are still able to enter and still be happy, and they have a deep friendship, which is closer than their own brothers.

In the second year of the Apocalypse, after the fall of Liaoyang, the Tartars swept through the four guards in southern Liaoning, and the Shang family was unbearable and rose up to resist. (Crab note: The four guards in southern Liaoning, namely Jinzhouwei, Fuzhouwei, Gaizhouwei, and Haizhouwei, are today's Dalian Jinzhou, Wafangdian City, Gaizhou City, and Haicheng City)

But even if the Shang family has a big business and many Dingkou, they are still weak in front of the Tartars; After struggling for a period of time, the family suffered heavy casualties, and finally had to retreat to Guangning under the leadership of Shang Xueli, and defected to Wang Huazhen, the governor of Liaodong at that time, and was awarded the post of Qianzong.

Mao Wenlong attacked Zhenjiang Fort and won a great victory in Zhenjiang, and the Shang family led by Shang Xueli made great contributions - Tong Yangxing, the brother-in-law of the old slave chief Nurhachi, died in the hands of Shang Xueli!

But God does not bless the loyal ministers, and in the fourth year of the Apocalypse, Shang Xueli accidentally encountered a Tartar while patrolling and died in Xuancheng.

The death of the head of the family made the hatred between the Shang family and the Tartars deeper, led by Shang Kejin, the children of the Shang family worshiped Shang Xueli's close comrade-in-arms Mao Wenlong as their father-in-law, and changed their surname to Mao, in order to show their determination to die with the Tartars - this triggered a wave of changing surnames in Dongjiang Town, and many Liaodong heroes who came to vote followed suit and worshiped Mao Wenlong as their father-in-law and changed their surname to Mao. For example, Kong Youde, who is from Shandong and was born as a miner.

Inspired by the hatred of the family and the country, Shang Keyi, uh, it should be Mao Keyi's brave battles and repeated exploits, from an ordinary pawn to a general, to a thousand generals, and finally promoted to the left battalion capital. Garrisoned at Lushunkou.

He said that he was the commander of the left battalion, but in fact he did not have many useful soldiers under his command - all those who could fight were transferred by Huang Long to Jinzhou Wei in the north - he was actually more like a refugee governor, managing tens of thousands of refugees south of Jinzhou Wei.

The rice rush that happened two days ago is said to be the responsibility of him, the capital division, but he can't do anything about it!

As the head of the refugees, he wished that the East India Company's rice shop, which only sold for 4 yuan of silver, could continue its business in peace!

However, he also knew that the shopkeeper Dong would never sit back and watch the monopoly of his own grain trading be broken, and he would definitely take action - in this regard, not to mention that he was a small capital, even if his stepfather Mao Wenlong came, he couldn't take care of it!

Because the shopkeeper Dong is too hard!

His rice line was bought and sold by Hou Zhibang, the deputy envoy of the Dengzhou military garrison. And this deputy envoy Hou is precisely the person who pinched the neck of the entire Dongjiang town -- all the military salaries, grain and grass, soldiers and other military supplies of the Dongjiang River, without his issuance, not even a penny or a grain of rice can reach the Dongjiang River!

Not to mention Lushunkou, within the control of the entire Dongjiang Town, including the base camp Phi Island and Iron Mountain, the only place where you can buy grain is the rice shop opened by his deputy envoy!

The Hou family's rice shop plus the pawn shop of the soldiers and Taoists and the money village opened by the former governor of Denglai. It's like three thick pipes inserted into Dongjiang Town's body, sucking Dongjiang Town to the point of dying - nothing to do. Korean ginseng, weapons, and even the head of the Tartar could only be exchanged for silver at the pawn shop, and then the money bank was stripped and exchanged for small money, and finally flowed into the pocket of the deputy envoy Hou.

Of course, Mao Wenlong also saw that in the long run, Dongjiang Town would inevitably starve to death under the exploitation of the three families. So he tried several times to get out of this situation with a deal with North Korea.

However, his efforts were quickly in vain.

Dengzhou officialdom has a way to deal with him, and the simplest is to impeach him for "opening a horse market without permission" -- this is a warning: be honest with the surname Mao!

If the warning is useless, it will delay the payment of food and salary - don't you have the ability to make money surnamed Mao, why do you still need the imperial court to pay for it? We can't get it, and you can't think about it!

In the end, if it didn't work, he sacrificed a weapon of murder - to denounce the king of Joseon. So that it is not allowed to trade privately with Dongjiang Town!

Poor Mao Wenlong I was a hero, but he was pinched and pinched by the Dengzhou officialdom and had no temper at all, and not only did he not succeed in fighting a few times, but he brought a lot of soldiers under his command who were bent on killing the enemy to starve to death!

Thinking of these bad things, Mao Keyi was upset and couldn't sleep.

Lao Tzu killed the Tartars in Liaodong, and the **** was desperately fighting the idea of our military salary, and even his mother's weapons were pawned and sold in order to eat, so did we take wooden sticks and fight with the Tartars?

His insomnia made his six senses extremely keen, so when there was a soft "click" sound outside the hospital, he immediately sat up and asked, "Who?!" ”

No one responded, even the two guards who stood outside the door every day were silent, Mao Keyi secretly screamed in his heart, turned over and got out of bed and went to the head of the bed to draw a knife, but heard a "bang" sound, the door had already been knocked away, and a figure fit in.

Before Mao Keyi could open his mouth to shout, a huge force slammed into his neck, and he immediately fainted.

When he woke up, he found that he had been tied into a zongzi, and a walnut was still stuffed in his mouth, and he was being carried away.

Even in the faint starlight, Mao Keyi, who was extremely familiar with Lushun's approach, quickly judged his direction of progress - the south.

As he walked, Mao Keyi noticed that someone had joined the small team - all black tights, with a black veil covering his face.

Even though he was covered with a black veil, the joiner was quickly recognized by Mao Keyi - there was no way, Hailan Bao's sturdy body like a door panel couldn't hide any clothes she was wearing!

Only with a body like Hailan can run as usual when there is a person under his armpit!

Of course, the eyes of the man in black who walked beside Hai Lanpao were full of apology and friendliness, which also made Mao Keyi quickly determine his identity - it was Bi Laozhuan, the sentry officer who "defected" a few days ago!

After figuring out the identities of these people, Mao Keyi was even more suspicious: There are only a few people under Bi Laoshui, all of them follow, so who is the person carrying himself? Isn't it the sneak attacker with great martial arts?

With a turn of his mind, Mao Keyi guessed it.

Most of these people are from the East India Company, and they came to take revenge for the robbery of the rice store - the person who was caught by Hailan Bubble is most likely Yang Sanmao, the leader of the rice robbery!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel sad: he was really "caught in the fire at the city gate and affected the fish in the pond", obviously he didn't dare to take care of anything and couldn't manage it, but he was still regarded as the culprit by these people, and he was wronged!

He was thinking about it when he heard a startled and playful shout from ahead.

"Zhao Tou'er, look! This turtle grandson actually gave ...... Scared to death! (To be continued.) )
