Chapter 46: Wu XVIII

The Li family began to buy the eunuchs who contacted Huguang and Guangxi to buy military supplies, and their wealth was very powerful, and as soon as the money was sent, the eunuchs naturally would not refuse

This side began to buy ordnance in full swing behind the scenes, and the Jiangnan side is also like this in a fishing port in Kinmen, today there are more than a dozen large ships anchored here, but these ships did not stop for too long, and when it gets dark, they will head towards Quanzhou, and Kinmen is only how far away from Quanzhou, and it will arrive in less than an hour

As soon as the ship docked, two or three hundred men appeared out of nowhere, and someone greeted them and began to unload items from their beds

These things are packed in large boxes, obviously very heavy, almost every box, need at least four strong men to carry so many perhaps, it took a night to unload, at dawn, many mule carts came, this group of people had a full meal, rested for a while, and began to continue to work, all the goods were moved to the car successively, stayed for a day, and the next day drove towards Yanping Mansion

Yanping Mansion, since ancient times is the military town of Fujian, the territory of the house is extremely dangerous, and Shaowu Mansion leans on each other, the proverb is called "copper Yanping, iron Shaowu" Yanping Mansion is not only a military place, but also one of the main roads to the north, in the status at that time, although not as good as Fuzhou, but in Fujian is also one of the best

This group of people escorted the goods to Yanping Mansion, on this day, the path of Yanping Mansion to Nanping County, they took the official road, after all, such a heavy cargo, if you go from the road, it is really not easy When there are more than ten miles to Nanping County, a team came from the front road

As soon as the drums sounded, they knew that it was the governor who was out on patrol, and soon saw the soldiers who opened the way

The group of people who took the goods, the leader was a man in a green robe, this person was none other than Gu Huaizhen, the hall master of the Qinglong Hall of the Dragon Slaying Gang, facing the governor's guard of honor, how could there be any reason not to give way, Gu Huaizhen hurriedly ordered his brothers to flash aside

The road in Fujian is not wider than the road in the Central Plains, and this road can accommodate two carriages in parallel, and the people of the Dragon Slaying Gang will drive the carriage to the right side of the road and give way to half of the road

At this time, the soldiers of the governor's honor guard had already arrived, and the leader was a general, who glanced at the men of the Dragon Slaying Gang, and then shouted: "Didn't you see that the governor was on patrol?" If you don't disperse quickly, you're still blocking the way here, do you want to rebel? ”

What the Dragon Slaying Gang is doing is a rebellious business, and what he always said is not wrong at all, but Gu Huaizhen heard this, but he was wronged, and today Lao Tzu didn't plan to kill officials and rebel, how can you say that? He stepped forward with a smile on his face and said: "This general, the small one is a business in Quanzhou, and some business friends have done some work together, and they plan to transport it across the Yangtze River to sell it, you have also seen it, the road is so wide, and the small ones have done their best."

"Said lightly, did your best? Isn't there still a place down here, you drive the car down or you will collide with my family, so that you can't eat and walk around" The general pointed to the side of the official road, the dirt ditch below

The earthen ditch under the official road can be four or five steps wide, and then there is a corn field on the side, and there is no winter in Fujian, so there is still corn that has just been planted

This earthen ditch is not high, at most sixty or seventy centimeters, and there is a little gentle slope, if you don't pull any heavy goods, the mule cart will break down, and it will not hurt

Gu Huaizhen glanced at the ditch, weighed the weight of the goods, and was worried about accidents, so he said with a smile: "This general, we have so many vehicles, if we go down, it will be really inconvenient, please be accommodating" After speaking, he gave a look to one of his subordinates

The guy immediately understood, walked a few steps to the general horse, took out a silver ingot that could weigh ten taels from his bosom, and said carefully: "General, the little meaning is not a respect, please accept it and buy a pot of wine to drink."

The general looked at the silver and wanted to accept it, but he didn't seem to dare to snort coldly, and said: "Lao Tzu has accommodated you, who has accommodated Lao Tzu, wait for the adults to come over, see that you are waiting for the road, you have to pull out my skin, don't get out of me quickly, and then delay, don't blame me for being polite!" As he spoke, he lifted his whip, as if as soon as his whip fell, his soldiers would rush up and do it

In fact, it's not to blame that the governor is like this, because the governor behind him is really not good at serving Fujian Governor Wu Sinan, this person has a very strange temper, whenever he looks at people and things that are not pleasing to the eye, then the other party is unlucky, and he does not follow the rules and regulations, it is notoriously difficult to serve Many people wonder, how did such a person get mixed with this governor, Yue Su is already a freak in the officialdom, and he can climb so high by getting the weight of the carpenter emperor, how did this Lord Wu mix?

Speaking of this, it has something to do with Yue Su first, let's talk about Wu Sinan's resume, Wu Sinan, the word Taixie, a native of Huzhou, Zhejiang, his father is a county magistrate who told the old man to return to his hometown, because his father used to be an official, Wu Sinan can naturally receive a good education, but this Lord Wu's book is really not very good, the writing is sparse, and I can't see that the talent is quick, it is estimated that I can be admitted to a show, which is already good, who would have thought that Lord Wu was easily admitted to the show, but it was the eighteenth; When I took the township exam, I was also admitted, and it was another eighteen; In the final examination, he unexpectedly passed the exam again, strangely enough, it was still eighteen; Even after the palace examination, he was ranked eighteenth, and those who knew him well gave him a nickname - Wu Eighteen

After the end of the palace examination, he was awarded the title of Shu Jishi, and he entered the Hanlin Academy because of his temper, and his colleagues never got along, and he was sent to the field to be a magistrate Anyway, he also came out of the Hanlin Academy, and as soon as he arrived in the place, he became a famous official

After becoming a pusher, Wu Shibai was given a difficult nickname by his subordinates, but when he started to do things, his political achievements were indeed good This year, the temperamental subordinates, the leader has always disliked it, but no matter what, someone needs to work, can't they all be some who will meet the horse, just like that, Wu Sinan still got promoted, and has always been Tongzhi But, for him, the official position of Tongzhi seems to be the end

I never thought that when Yue Su was in power a few years ago, he tried his best to promote capable and unambitious officials, Wu Sinan was selected all of a sudden, and in the past few years, with his outstanding political achievements, he has risen step by step, and has been the governor of Fujian However, what is funny is that Yue Su and Wu Sinan have not met so far

This time, Wu Sinan rushed to Yanping from Fuzhou, although it was a patrol, but there was another purpose, that is, to scold the Yanping prefect for what he did, and it turned out to be a trivial matter, and this year's commercial tax, Yanping Mansion paid 500 taels of silver less than in previous years

It is rare in ancient and modern times to be able to run out and scold his subordinates for this matter, because generally speaking, it is right to invite his subordinates to Fuzhou to scold

After scolding the prefect of Yanping, Wu Sinan lived in the city for a day, and then went back, such a strange temper, the subordinates below, which one must not be careful to serve So, after seeing the silver, after thinking about it, he still didn't dare to accept it, and raised the whip, and made a gesture to do it

Gu Huaizhen saw that the other party didn't buy it, and there was no way, he couldn't fight with the officers and soldiers here, the victory or defeat was small, if he lost the goods he had just shipped, it would be unlucky He took a long breath and scolded in his heart, "Rabbit cub, you wait for me, don't let the master meet again"

Thinking so in his heart, he could only soften and said, "This ...... All right...... Guys, drive the car down and make way for the eldest master...... "The Dragon Slaying Gang has always been rampant and domineering, no matter where he goes, others don't give way to him, he wants to see blood, how can he ever suffer such a loss, no matter how to say it, he also dares to pick up the guy to rebel The lord sees this today, the other party is full of people, and the soldiers and horses behind are not a thousand, but also have eight hundred, really fighting, who let who see blood, it's hard to say at the moment, so I had to hold my breath and drive the mule cart down the ditch."

There is a mule cart, the mule front foot just stepped down, the body was pressed to lose the center of gravity, directly to the side to follow the sound of "bang", the car smashed to the ground

Although the boxes on the car were tied, where could they withstand such a moment, one box was shattered when it landed, and the goods inside immediately spilled out: "It's a musket!" The general on the road and all the officers and soldiers were watching the excitement, and suddenly saw the box shattered and the musket exposed, and hurriedly shouted, and showed off the weapons one after another, which was always a little experienced, knowing that they had encountered a fierce man, and hurriedly shouted: "Go and inform your lord!" ”

Yes, the other party dares to blatantly escort the musket, can it be a good kind

Gu Huaizhen was dumbfounded when he saw that the musket was exposed, and when he saw the officers and soldiers showing their weapons, they were about to start fighting in the blink of an eye, so he really couldn't care too much, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, fight with them!" With that, he drew his sword from the car on the side, and the first one rushed forward

The gang members of the Dragon Slaying Gang, they were all bandits, and when they saw the hall master leading the way forward, what were they waiting for, they took their weapons one by one and killed them together

In this area of Fujian, since the Japanese were eliminated, there has been no war, this is peaceful, and the soldiers have no quality, at most they can bully the ordinary people, seeing that the other party did not run, but got it and rushed over, but panicked first

Gu Huaizhen rushed in front, raised his hand with a sword, and directly stabbed the leader of the general stab Ma Lai Ma to death, the soldiers around him were immediately stunned, followed by it, it was to turn around and run Gu Huaizhen knew that at this time, he must not be soft, once the officers and soldiers were relieved, he did not want to take away the firearms he had just bought, so he did not do it, and shouted, "Brothers, rush with me, kill all the officers and soldiers!" ”

With that, he raised his sword and continued to rush forward
