160: Liuzhou Water Camp
Today's weather is good, and the early spring sun is warmly sprinkled on the earth, making people feel that the breath of spring is getting closer and closer to themselves.
On the Liujiang River, which surrounds Liuzhou City, the military households on an official boat of the Liuzhou Water Camp also enjoy the breath of spring, but unlike in the past, they no longer look at the merchant ships passing on the river with the eyes of jackals and hungry tigers, and they are not even interested in the fishing boats that used to go up and touch a little fishy fish, and it seems that they have lost interest in this kind of work of eating by water, so they lie on the boat and bask in the sun with nothing to do......
After washing Liuzhou City in the mountain village, although it is said that it has withdrawn now, everyone can feel that some changes have taken place in Liuzhou City, there are many fewer people in the barracks in the inner and outer cities, and there are also a lot fewer civilian and military generals in the city, and it seems that there are a little more fresh faces...... A few days ago, hundreds of people suddenly appeared quietly in the original Xiying station in the city, although these people were dressed in civilian clothes, but they could be known from their spirits and short hair -- these people were all flowery people, and they were the kind of people who could fight and were very good at fighting......
And the biggest change is Liuzhou Water Camp; The change in the water camp is not to say that there is a change in personnel, the soldiers of the water camp have hardly adjusted the original people, but just as Wang Du said to Zhong Shuqing, after those flower skins retreated, the people of the water camp found that their lives had changed, and the merchant fleets that could have collected all kinds of filial piety and water diversion money began to refuse to pay fees...... Ahem, did a boat pass by just now? ……
We can't afford to mess with the boat with the skin, how can the small fish of the reliable fishing boat feed people, our family has to eat...... It's just that the skins have taken away most of the treasury silver in Liuzhou Mansion, and the Liuzhou Mansion has never had enough food and salary for each battalion, all by relying on their own income outside, and the Lu Camp is now less crowded and can still sustain itself by collecting some entry fees, but the Water Camp can't get money from the passing ships, so it will directly cut off their Dun, and the officials of the Water Camp have lost their source of income and suddenly cut off, and a group of people get together to discuss how to live in the future, and the final conclusion is that there is no way - go and make a salary!
But this is useless, Liuzhou Mansion has no silver at all, and the prefect also moved some silver grain from other places to appease it, but this bit of silver grain is enough for the people of the water camp to support their families, and then the buckle and the rope insisted for half a month, and the officials of the water camp broke off again......
However, because of the last time the water camp was paid, it attracted the attention of the flower skins who set up personnel in Liuzhou City, and before the people of the water camp were ready to go to the water camp again, a few short-haired flower skins found the water camp......
Now there are some fresh faces in Liuzhou City, although these people are very fresh, everyone knows that these people are the eyeliner placed in Liuzhou City, but no one dares to find the trouble of these flower skins, and these flower skins are also very good at being people, trying not to interfere with everyone's original life and move other people's cakes, so everyone is safe. And besides, even if you move your cake, how can you have the ability to go with their fists and muzzle theory? …… So Shuiying is the most typical example, they didn't dare to go to the trouble of Huapi because of the arrival of Huapi, they didn't dare to go to the prefect to make trouble......
The flower skins that came to the door surprised all the officials of the water camp, and what surprised them even more was that the purpose of these flower skins was to pay for the future living expenses of the water camp officials.
Officers and soldiers rely on the rebellious people to pay their salaries?! This kind of thing sounds like a big joke, but this joke really happened to the officers and soldiers of the Liuzhou Water Battalion, and from the past few months, the officers and soldiers of the Water Battalion seem to enjoy such a thing, why? Because the salary is not handed over to those who are officials, but is accurate to the head of each water camp official, so that the officials can not be able to pump water and deduct the salary, although the food and salary in hand is not much, but it is enough to live, such a good thing that the low-level officers and soldiers of the water camp have never thought of......
It is precisely because of this that the officers and men of the water battalion have gradually divided into two groups, one group of people are the officers and soldiers at the bottom, who used to struggle on the food and clothing line, and now they are living a good life without worrying about food and rice, and this mentality is naturally slowly moving closer to the side of Huapi, sometimes Huapi has something to do, and even directly asks the officers and soldiers of the water battalion for help, and can easily find a lot of manpower. And the other group of people are the original large and small officers, these officers suddenly lost the advantage of being able to pump water at both ends before, so that their words can only live tightly, although they curse all kinds of bad things every day, but they can no longer affect the attitude of the officers and soldiers at the bottom to the flower skin...... This truth that having milk is a mother is universal everywhere......
"Hey!! Lai Gou, get up, there are people from Huapi's side, there is an official ship coming from the east today, Huapi wants us to put on a show......"
While the soldiers on this official boat were enjoying the sunshine, several small boats were quickly scattered out of the water camp towards the river, and one of the small boats rushed over to inform their robes.
"Got it......"
Although the military households who were disturbed by the good dreams of the spring were a little unhappy, they did not have any more dissatisfaction, eating people with soft mouths and short hands, and now they will do whatever they say with the food and salary of the flower skin, and the flower skin will not let themselves be sent to death as cannon fodder, just pretending to check what to go through the motions and put on a show, this thing is not good...... Are you still worthy of these wages? At first, everyone didn't understand why the flower skins did this by themselves, but later a master answered: Hua Pi is emitting smoke, which makes people feel that Liuzhou City is ...... It is still the territory controlled by the emperor of the dynasty......
At noon, the fleet of official ships quickly went up the current to the south gate wharf of Liuzhou City to dock, the number of ships was very large, large and small sixty or seventy, and there were more than a dozen ships carrying the escort officers and soldiers, but these officials did not seem to come to Liuzhou City to change guards or other intentions to stay, but only to strictly block the entire South Gate wharf, and carry all kinds of things to the ship one after another.
When the flotilla docked, the officers and men of the water battalion were ordered to continue patrolling the river before the flotilla left, so as to ensure that no suspicious ships on the river attacked the flotilla...... Isn't this the tuk tuk of the skins...... There is a tutu boat with flower skin, and he is just a formality, and he can't stop it by himself, but others do it...... Can they outperform the skin?
"Uncle Lai, I seem to have seen that those boxes are the same as those used by Flower Skin, and there are still Flower Skin people on the dock......"
On the small boat, the young man who survived last time curiously looked at the fleet for a short time, and said a shocking news: the people of the government and the flower skins are together!!
ps: I went to pick up the airport today, and I had to go to socialize in the evening, and I rushed out with 2,000 words, so much for today, sorry. (To be continued.) )
