Chapter 394: Commander Zhao Lie

Chen Yingyuan and his entourage approached Dengzhou after a trip of more than half a month, and what they saw and heard along the way made them full of emotion. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

It is not the first time he has been to Denglai, a year and a half ago, he came to Dengzhou on business, and Sun Yuanhua, the governor of Denglai at that time, also hosted a banquet for him.

Sun Yuanhua is now beheaded and abandoned in Beijing, and his death is extremely miserable, and Xie Lian, who took over, was also executed in Laizhou, and was killed by Li Jiucheng in Dengzhou two months ago, this position is very hot.

Chen Yingyuan smiled bitterly and looked at the shed at an intersection in front of him, this is the soup kitchen's shed, entering the territory of Dengzhou, there is such a soup kitchen shed every ten miles, all of which are set up by merchants in Dengzhou.

They recruited men while giving soup to the southern islands, planting sweet potatoes and grazing cattle and horses.

Chen Yingyuan seems to have gathered a lot of people along the way, of course, the vast majority of them are still tenants and homeless people, if they don't leave, they can't go, the soldiers are in chaos, the output of the acres is not much, and if they don't survive well, they will starve to death in the autumn.

Chen Yingyuan saw a lot of refugees marching to Dengzhou, they were all hired, as long as they were signed, they had clothes and food, and there were special people to accompany them to Dengzhou Water City, and when they arrived there to go to sea.

These refugees can still take their families with their families, so these people are still walking very calmly, at least they have clothes and food, as for going to sea, it has reached this point, it is the same everywhere, it is good to be alive.

Of course, the people who have their own acres of land have to go back to say anything, and they have to die in their own fields, which is the obsession of the people of the Ming Dynasty with their fields.

Chen Yingyuan is also worried, if there are more people who run away like this, there are still tenants on the acres of land to cultivate, but he doesn't know how many people have left, and few people who want to come to Denglai know who has the leisure to take care of this matter. They even hope that the more people who leave, the better, so that they can relax a lot, and now that there are many displaced people, they are anxious.

Chen Yingyuan came to the vicinity of this shed and saw that there were no refugees in front of this shed, and the businessmen inside were all idle, making a fire and cooking. They also have to eat, no.

Chen Yingyuan dismounted with the support of the guards, and he looked at the dozen or so men inside, watching them gather around a tin stove to roast the fire.

Now it is the cold winter wax moon, and it is also the bitter cold, this shed is built of adobe and wood, it can block the wind, but the cold is far away, this iron stove can just help these guys resist the wind and cold.

"I'm sorry, we're just helping refugees." A fellow shouted. Although Chen Yingyuan acted in plain clothes, he was not an ordinary person at first glance, so the guy still explained his words first.

"I know, I know in the shed in front of me, my lord is here to bake the fire, keep warm, and please make it convenient." One of the guards smiled and said that his master was willing to stop and talk to the refugees when he arrived at such a shed. As for why, he is also a guard, and he can't figure it out. Anyway, what did the master tell him to do?

"Okay, come in, it's still warmer inside." The guy laughed.

"Thank you, little brother." Chen Yingyuan smiled and arched his hand, and entered the room, which was much warmer inside than outside, but the door was open. It's still cold, and it's only warm by the fire.

Chen Yingyuan roasted the fire, making his stiff fingers loosen, and he sighed that he was old and useless. His hands and feet began to get much colder, and as a Jiangxi native, he was already cold.

Outside, there was a sound of horses' hooves, and a group of twenty or thirty horsemen appeared in view, their iron armor hung with a faint hoarfrost, and white mist erupted from the horse's mouth.

"Well, what's going on here?" One of the military leaders shouted.

"Master Jun, there's no movement here, it's good, it's cold outside, or you can't bake the fire inside." The job said hello.

"Forget it, I just came out of Dengzhou, it's not cold yet, let's talk about it in the next shed." These soldiers walked farther and farther west along the official road, and their straight, neatly formed battle formations disappeared into a faint dust mist.

Along the way, Chen Yingyuan and his entourage have already seen such soldiers under Zhao Lie's command many times, and when they saw such a complete military armor, they were doing the work of inspection, and Chen Yingyuan also slandered that this Zhao Lie is really a tyrannical thing, is this the work that soldiers should do.

After watching it for a long time, he didn't feel it, and when hundreds of soldiers were like this, he also felt that since there were so many armored cavalry, it was no wonder that this Lord Zhao didn't cherish it very much.

"Look at the soldiers under the command of Lord Zhao, and then look at the soldiers in Liaozhen, Tianjin, and Weishan Mountain, one is to protect the family and defend the country, and the other is looting everywhere, if you want me to say that Lord Zhao is better able to be a big official in Denglai." An older job muttered.

"With them, let's live in peace, otherwise I'll be too restless to wait on this road, and the soldiers of other military towns will have to rob us of the money and food." The talk-a-lot job echoed the words.

"Well, Lord Zhao is also afraid of the looting of these soldiers from other towns, so he let the soldiers patrol along the official road. Since the soldiers from other towns were defeated by Lord Zhao under the city of Dengzhou more than a month ago, they now see that Lord Zhao's soldiers are walking around, and they will never dare to cause trouble. "The older guys spit on the stars, and when they talk about Lord Zhao, it is a Rong Naiyan.

A large group of cavalry passed by the shed, their bodies were covered with dust, and the scepter in front indicated their identity, Chen Yingyuan could see at a glance that it was the minister who announced the decree, and it seemed that something big had happened.

Thinking of this, Chen Yingyuan didn't have the mind of a private visit to Weifu, he thanked him, and came out with more than ten guards to get on the horse and run to Dengzhou, more than ten miles to the east.

"Welcome to the angels." Zhu Dadian and Gao Qi's potential governor's office received the decree from the ministers, and hurriedly bowed.

"Excuse me, and please give convenience to the two of you, so that our family can bathe and change clothes, and read the holy will." The visitor smiled and pointed to his dusty clothes.

"Haha, it turned out that Guoyuan was here, and he came to the back, and I estimated that the angel was about to arrive, and the house had already been prepared, please." Gao Qiqian thought that it might be an old acquaintance, and when he met, it was indeed Zhang Guoyuan, the celebrant and eunuch.

"How dare you, the senior superintendent, please." The two of them humbly went backwards.

This Zhu Dadian hurriedly sent someone to know about the generals and Zhao Lie, the holy decree of the Son of Heaven has been issued, and the time has come to decide the fate of Denglai, he is also worried, after all, the excerpt has been submitted for a month, and he and Gao Qiqian are working hard in Dengzhou, waiting for the news of the Long Live Lord.

If the Long Live Lord insists on not giving Zhao Lie the position of commander, I don't know how Zhao Lie will deal with it, alas, let's talk about it when it comes to the end, Zhu Dadian said with relief.

At this time, someone reported that Chen Yingyuan, the governor of Denglai, arrived, and Zhu Dadian hurriedly went out of the door and welcomed Chen Yingyuan into the official office.

The two are also knowledgeable, when Zhu Dadian led the troops through Jinan, Chen Yingyuan, as the political envoy of Shandong Zuobu, also invited a banquet to see him off, and he can be regarded as acquaintances.

Chen Yingyuan immediately asked to bathe and change clothes, and when he saw the angel covered in dust, it was too unseemly and too unruly.

Zhu Dadian hurriedly arranged, this was a hurry, and two groups of people rushed together.

During this period, Zhao Lie arrived with hundreds of guards, after all, he was in the city, and Jin Guoqi, Liu Zeqing, Wu Xiang, Zu Dale, Zu Dabi, Zu Kuan, Wu Sangui and others also arrived one after another.

The people divided into several groups and chatted and waited.

Of course, Zhao Lie is his own faction, while Liaozhen is a gang, and the generals from other places are chatting together.

After the meal, Chen Yingyuan came out first.

As soon as Zhu Dadian introduced, other local military generals were not officials, and they were perfunctory, while Zhao Lie paid a big salute, which was the new boss.

"Oh, this is General Zhao, who is sonic boom, please get up." Chen Yingyuan, who was short and short, helped Zhao Lie up with a smile.

"Don't dare, don't dare, the adult has a good reputation, and it's the lower official." Zhao Lie got up and said.

"General Zhao defeated Jiannu in Jinggi Xuanchuan, beheaded thousands, and exterminated Kong Rebellion in three battles and three victories in Denglai, which deserves the words "Daming." Chen Yingyuan continued to laugh.

"Killing the enemy for the country and being loyal is a matter of the general's duty, and it should not be done, it should not be done." Zhao Lie said humbly.

Several people laughed, Chen Yingyuan looked at Zhao Lie and said in his heart, this Zhao Lie is not too domineering, at least it is much stronger than the arrogant Liaozhen, the evil deeds left by the soldiers of Liaozhen passing through Shandong were all Chen Yingyuan's buttocks for them in the end, and they hated it in their hearts, and they didn't have a good face after meeting.

In the shouts of the angels of the officials, Zhang Guoyuan entered with his head accompanied by Gao Qiqian.

The incense case has already been prepared, and all the civil and military forces are kneeling down to listen.

Zhang Guoyuan took out the holy decree and read it slowly, this time the Son of Heaven explained a lot of things, and it took a long time to read it out.

The will first commended Zhu Dadian, Gao Qiqian, Jin Guoqi, Zhao Lie and others for their meritorious efforts in quelling the rebellion, and then appointed Zhu Dadian as the governor of Shandong, Gao Qiqian returned to Beijing to restore his life, and at the same time appointed Zhang Guoyuan as the eunuch of Denglai Town, Zhang Keda as the chief soldier of Denglai, and Zhao Lie as the commander of Denglai Dudu, and the soldiers from other towns can return to the town, and the will and money and food of the reward will arrive in the towns in a few days.

Everyone first congratulated Zhang Guoyuan in unison, this is also the red man around the emperor has been released, flattery and congratulations are necessary, because Zhang Keda has not yet taken office, and when he congratulates Zhao Lie next, it will be three or two kittens, and he has no friendship with Zhao Lie.

Under the high pressure of the Broken Army, they and the soldiers under their command did not dare to act rashly, and generally stayed in the barracks, which was simply confined, which was too aggrieved.

Liaozhen is even more so, he has a grudge against Zhao Lie, and he doesn't want to stay for a day, and when he heard the will, he shouted to go back early, of course, he also said to Zhu Dadian, you have to have money and food on the way back, otherwise how can you go back hungry.

Zhu Dadian looked at Zhao Lie, he now has a surplus of food, just waiting for the holy decree, he just wants to find the remaining 150,000 taels of silver that Zhao Lie wants to say, or he can't live this day.

Zhao Lie said, tomorrow will come, Zhu Dadian's heart is in his stomach, it is done, the emperor agreed, Zhao Lie also promised, he can get out of the whole body, as for the rest of the mess, it is still left to Chen Yingyuan.

Zhao Lie felt very uncomfortable, he felt as if someone was always peeping at him, who was it. (To be continued.) )
