The sloppy old man is the master of Qi County, who fled north with the refugees along the way, begging for literacy and hyphenation in the refugees, and was also a guest of the county lord, whose identity is considered golden, often relying on the old and selling the old, selling the old face, and pointing fingers at everyone's decisions. Liu Chengjin, who was born quickly, bought his account, and many times obeyed him, which boosted Master Guo's arrogance to rely on the old and sell the old.

After all, the refugees are a loose organization that gathers together temporarily, and the government has long lost its authority, and basically whoever has a hard fist here has the final say, if it weren't for Liu Chengjin's protection, Master Guo would be a fart. Therefore, many people were not convinced by him, and when they heard his alarmist words, they made sarcastic remarks.

Although Master Guo loves to rely on the old and sell the old, but for the sake of face, he will never lose his temper with people in front of him, and when he heard someone asking rhetorically, not only did he not suppress people with power, but he seriously defended himself.

"You doll, don't say one or two, Zhang Li is now at the end of the road, the court will suppress them, what about Gao Yingxiang, is it in the ninth year of Chongzhen to be taken to the Beijing Division? And the Tartar to the north, is that just a matter of coming and going? Last year, the eldest son of the slave chief was captured alive by our Da Ming Sheng, and the prince surnamed Aixin Jueluo also died several times, and our Da Ming didn't fight in that battle! ”

After all, they are all sons of the Han family, although they all look down on Master Guo, but these words also resonated with people. But what they said almost didn't distort Master Guo's beard.

"I said Master Guo, this time I am on your side, although you usually talk a lot of nonsense, but what you say today is like a person's words, we don't scare him to build a slave Tartar."

"Who's to say it's not, I've heard that all these great credits are made by a horse thief......"

Speaking of killing Yue Tuo and capturing Haoge alive, there are various versions of the folk legend, and the most talked about is that General Li went to capture Haoge, attacked the Qing camp at night and beheaded Yue Tuo, and even the storytelling jokes are all this routine, and everyone has long been familiar with it. However, since ancient times, loyal ministers have suffered a lot, so later there was a joke that the traitorous ministers were cleverly framed, saying that all kinds of merits were stolen by the traitors, and finally the emperor Lao'er listened to the slander and made immortal merits, and General Li, who should have been crowned king, was demoted to a remote place to become a petty official.

The common people have always been simple-minded, worshipping grassroots heroes and hating the powerful and traitorous ministers, this kind of joke caters to the psychology of the people, so it has spread more and more. Master Guo prides himself on being a person who can see the situation in the court clearly, but of course he disdains this kind of folk joke.

Think about General Li, who was just a horse thief. He knows best what kind of person the horse thief is, but as the master of the county government, he has also seen a lot of arrested horse thieves and mountain bandits, they not only kill people like hemp, their hands are stained with the blood of good people, but they also don't know half of the big characters are very vulgar, such people have made some meritorious deeds by chance, and it is already amazing, the commentary paragraph is obviously pouring dirty water on the important ministers in the court, as for the people who can make up this kind of paragraph, it can be seen at a glance that they are immersed in the text for a long time, and they are familiar with the inside story of the court, and they will never be ordinary people, Otherwise, how could it be that even some secret things in the palace were said to be the Tao?

At this time, someone suddenly patted his head and said: "It is said that General Li seems to have been demoted to our Shanxi, and I don't know if it's true or not?" ”

"Yes, the storytellers all say so, saying that he is a general soldier who has been sealed......"

Master Guo also had a flash of inspiration in his mind, he had indeed heard such a thing.

"The Three Guards."

Four words blurted out.

"Yes, yes, it's the three guards."

Someone immediately chimed in. Originally, it was said that he was preparing to kill the official and rebel, but as soon as Master Guo stirred up, everyone's attention was shifted to General Li, the general of the three guards.

"Hey...... How did I hear that General Li was the chief soldier in Tianchengwei! ”

"Tianchengwei? Which Tianchengwei? ”

"It's Zhenwei, I used to call Tianchengwei! My wife's uncle ran a businessman, saying that the Zhenyu Guard had a greedy and vicious Sanwei commander, and his name was Li Xin! ”

Immediately someone coaxed him.

"What is greedy for money, businessmen are all greedy for money and forgetful of righteousness, could it be that your wife and uncle did something bad and was cleaned up!"

After being reminded by that person, even Master Guo vaguely remembered that when he was in Qi County, he did hear a few words from the county lord, and the jurisdiction of Li Xin's three guards included the town guards. At the same time, he was shocked again, wasn't it Yang Hewei who was connected to the Zhenyu Guard? Coupled with the high mountain guard that co-governs with Yang and Wei, it is the three guards. Could it be, is it ......

"Li Xin is in Yang and Wei?"

Thinking in my heart, I couldn't help but say it out of my mouth.

Not only Master Guo, but even Liu Chengjin remembered that the legendary General Li was indeed relegated to the border town in the north of Datong Mansion, saying that he was next to Wan Quanwei, and now that I think about it, isn't it Zhenwei!

"So, we are saved, General Li is a loyal minister, how can he sit back and watch our people starve to death?"

Hearing that some people are optimistic about the future, Liu Chengjin disagreed, although he is just a county government catcher, but after all, he is a person who has been in contact with the officials of the Ming Dynasty, and he has served no less than five county orders before and after, so he summed up a rule, no matter whether this person is a good person or a bad person, as long as he becomes an official, he cannot be a good person! It's not that people have become bad, but many times they can't help themselves.

If General Li is really in Yanghewei and lives by himself, there are too many factors to consider, and it is not a realistic thing to take in so many people. Thinking of this, a cloud suddenly rose in his heart, did he have to ......

Liu Chengjin was reluctant to say what he had in mind, and he didn't want to shatter the hope they had just risen. But Master Guo is different, although he has engaged in the business of being a master, and has deviated from the track of scholars to rule the country and level the world, but he is still a scholar after all, and in his bones he looks down on these military attaches after recruiting thieves, so his evaluation of Li Xin is worse than Liu Chengjin.

"Let's dream of your Spring and Autumn Festival, we have tens of thousands of people anyway, how can your General Li have so much food for us to eat? According to the old man, as long as the soldiers who asked for instructions come back, those officers and soldiers will immediately have to face us with swords and guns. If so, listen to my old man's advice and leave this place as soon as possible......"

Before the words fell, there was movement in the inspection of the real house, as if he was making a footnote to Master Guo's words. People's attention was attracted to the past, and Liu Chengjin also forgot about the past, and at the same time made up his mind in his heart.

Soon, the gate of the checkpoint opened, and a team of people rushed out of it, and the first one looked at it as an official, and the clothes were at least a thousand households in the guard. The horse's hooves rattled, and soon stopped in front of you.

"I am a thousand households of the Zhenyu Guard, and I am also the pro-army of General Li, the general of the Three Guards, and I am also the officer of the picket team of the epidemic prevention headquarters. This time, I brought the order of the chief soldier......"

Yang and Weizhong were indeed General Li in charge, but the refugees did not expect to arrive that it was General Li's pro-army generals, and it seemed that they still attached great importance to them. But Liu Chengjin and Master Guo were full of sweat in their palms, and it was not easy for Li Xin to send pro-army generals, maybe this was a harbinger of expelling them, and they would salute first and then soldiers.

“…… I have brought an order from the commander-in-chief, and from now on, you will be allowed to enter the jurisdiction of Sanwei from Yang Hewei......"

Before the words fell, bursts of cheers erupted among the refugees, and the despair and anxiety of the past few days were swept away at this moment, and some people even shouted such a rebellious slogan as Long Live General Li.

Liu Chengjin was also excited and difficult to himself, they were finally saved, and after a short period of stunned, they also cheered with the crowd. Only Master Guo stood on the spot in a daze, muttering to himself.

"How is it possible, how is it possible, there is no conspiracy......

Shi Qianhu is Shi Datuo, Shi Datuo was also infected by the atmosphere in front of him, he didn't expect the heavy soldiers to declare outside, even the people in the foreign province have heard his name, and he can't help but be deeply glad that his wind direction is changing fast, and he has been under the command of the chief soldier early, and he will ...... in the future. The future is still far away, Shi Datuo recovered from his distraction, and immediately asked the big guy to calm down, he still has something to say.

"The chief soldier has agreed to the entry of the big guy, but there must be a charter!"

Someone in the crowd immediately answered him.

"As long as we are allowed to go over and give us food, let alone a charter, even ten or eight will be fine!"

Shi Datuo said with a smile: "There are not so many regulations, when I came, the chief soldier only explained one charter, and after I finished, you can enjoy the protection of the chief soldier!" ”

After that, he turned around and shouted at the soldiers behind him: "Come on, give me a notice!" ”

The wooden pegs with the wide planks were nailed into the civilized earth, and then the planks were thickly pasted and a large white paper notice was pasted.

"If you are literate, come and read it!"

Immediately, someone pushed Master Guo up.

"Yes, yes, Master Guo is literate!"

Master Guo was suddenly pushed out of the crowd, almost pounced on, but when he turned around, he couldn't find who pushed him, so he had to give up and come to the poster.

The content of the notice is very simple, and it can be summed up in three points.

The first is that every refugee entering the country from the Yang and Wei Bai Deng checkpoints is required to fill out a form and register their place of origin, name, occupation and other information for the record. The second is that because this is an extraordinary period of the plague outbreak, wartime control is required, and all those who have registered their personal information must follow the unified arrangements of the epidemic prevention headquarters after entering the country, and those who violate the order will be expelled from the three guards. The third point made him a little confused, everyone will receive relief from the General Military Mansion after entering the three guards, but everyone must draw a contract, that is, they need to engage in a certain amount of labor after the beginning of spring.

After that, they were free to come and go.

It's the first time I've heard of this labor work, and Master Guo doesn't know exactly what it means, but it should be the meaning of paying for food with conscription
