Chapter 460: Capture the Pass (5)
Because this raid was completed by Jinyiwei and the family sent by the Li family in Liaodong, and did not communicate with the local government in advance, Tan Zengshou's relationship, eyes and ears all lost their effect, and before he could react, he was blocked in the house and became a turtle in Wengzhong. Among the leaders and elders of these beggar gangs, there are many skilled martial artists, but in front of the officials and soldiers, what use can they have, just tear their necks and cry out for grievances, shouting that they are not guilty.
Sun Dayong, who led the team, sneered: "A few flower heads, save some energy and keep it in prison to shout slowly." In the clear? Don't worry, Jinyiwei never wrongs good people, and I guarantee that any of you are guilty. Come on, throw these anti-books into their house for me, not guilty? ”
The grain in those warehouses became the spoils of war for the officers and soldiers before they could be transferred. Sun Dayong is Uncle Guo's confidant, and the two have a good relationship, and he also takes care of his own errands. With so much food, he only deducted half of it himself, and took out half of it to honor his uncle. The rest of the part was all sent to the official warehouse, and after the number was handed over, Rao was also taken aback by old ministers like Zeng Xingwu who had seen strong winds and waves. "What a group of dog thieves, the old man has repeatedly ordered that they must not hoard, they dare to withhold so much food, what is this going to do?"
Mr. Sance Ye Lushuang's face turned red, and he bowed his hand to Zheng Guobao: "I'm ashamed to say it." The students also knew that Tan Thief's gang had many lawlessness in Pingsu, and they wanted to take advantage of the imperial court's use of force against Banzhou this time to make a profit from it. Originally, I wanted to make a false deal with them, put a long line to catch big fish, and dig out their behind-the-scenes instructions and backers. Clean sweep. I didn't expect to almost raise a tiger, they actually hoarded so much food, no wonder the price of rice in Chengdu is rising. If it weren't for the Qin Cha to wipe them out, I don't know how far the price of rice in Sichuan would have been speculated. ”
"Zeng Junmen, Mr. Ye, you are all the best among people, and these small roles are naturally not looked down upon. However, when the two armies are at war, it is most likely that someone will jump out and make a fortune. If they are not punished, I wonder how many people will follow their example. Suck the blood of the imperial court. Scholars love face and reputation. I know that. It's just that there must be a limit to this, this court is a court of long live, not a court of merchants, and they can do whatever they want if it's not their turn. The businessman is right. But it will take a while. Now is the time to use troops. The imperial court spent large sums of gold and silver every day to sustain the war. They only want to use this war to make a fortune, so don't blame us for being ruthless! Deliver my decree from now on. All grain merchants in the market shall not have grain for sale. The price of rice and grain is guided by the yamen, and those who exceed this price are all considered to be collaborators. I have people under my command, and they will go to find out who has food and no food, and when they find out, they will immediately raid the house. Salt, cloth, and so on. I don't care who they are backstage, whose way they go, or whose door they worship. Killing Yang Yinglong in front of him is the first priority, and the others must be in the back row. If there is a war in front of us, and there is a civil uprising in the rear, when will this war last? ”
A string of ruthless orders was handed down, and Zeng Xingwu knew that this Sichuan businessman was going to be unlucky. But in any case, after copying Tan Zengshou, the rice and grain obtained have basically met the needs of the army, and in a short period of time, Sichuan really has no pressure to raise grain and grass. As for the ambassador in Guancang, the clerks below, and the civil and military officials who were arrested by surprise in the yamen at all levels, Zeng Xingwu was inconvenient to ask any more, he was always afraid that it was all related to Yang Ying, and it would be no good to ask.
After Zeng Xingwu said goodbye, Zheng Guobao declared his allegiance to Sichuan Jinyi Qianhu Luo. This Luo is also a family heirloom brocade clothes, and he is the official title of the four grades, and he is actually awarded to the Sichuan Thousand Households, and he is a member of the Jinyi Wei Southwest Region. After the ceremony, Zheng Guobao smiled and said, "Luo Qianhu, I heard that you have done a good job recently." Not only have the people who secretly communicated with Yang Yinglong in the yamen at all levels been screened out by you, but we have also installed a lot of eyeliner in Banzhou. The military situation came like snowflakes, and it seems that Luo Qianhu is really a cadre of the imperial court, a rare talent in our guard. This work achievement in less than a month is stronger than the previous years combined, and this time the official will definitely protect your official position and ask for a reward for you. ”
Luo Xiaozhong hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, "Thank you Dajingo for cultivating." In fact, this is not a lowly achievement, but a dictation of the times. In the past, Banshu was strictly prohibited, and even the vendors were not easy to enter, and only a few fixed merchants were able to enter Banshu to trade. There are also restrictions on where you can go, so you can't come and go as you like. It's not easy for us to spy on intelligence. Although the people in the recruitment hall have mixed in with us, it is easy to get in and difficult to get out, and it is not easy to pass on information. Now, because of the war, Banju has relaxed its restrictions, and anyone who wants to do business can do it. There are no restrictions on the merchants who come, and they can trade wherever they want, and Banshu is much more lively all of a sudden. It's easy for our people to come and go, and this information is easy to get by. ”
Before passing the Huaibei Salt Road, Zheng Guobao also planted his eyeliner in Banzhou, and at the same time obtained information from here. This time, Jin Yiwei mixed into Banzhou in a big way as a trader and a homeless person, and more information was transmitted, combined with the information of Tian Boguang, Song, and He, a few comparisons were very beneficial to understanding Banzhou.
Luo Xiaozhong said: "I heard that this is Yang Yinglong's construction of Ma Long Xiangti, and the imperial court has an embargo, so they welcome merchants." The imperial court engaged in a monopoly on the salt industry, and they engaged in private ownership. Every time it is the opposite of the court, it can be done. If you want to talk about meritorious service, you have to say that this dragon and horse have helped us a lot, how can you have this ability. ”
The two of them all smiled, and Zheng Guobao asked: "If the imperial court is marching into Banzhou now, is there a problem with our people guiding the way?" ”
"Don't worry, Da Jinwu, we are all first-class good players, and the best sons and daughters in the guard. Lead the way or something, it's not a problem. However, according to the news we inquired about, although there are small roads in Hailongho and Loushanguan, the roads are steep and difficult to walk, and they are known as ghosts and sorrows, and birds do not fly. It is inconvenient for the army to walk, and heavy firearms are not allowed to be carried, and even if there is a road, it is no different from no road. ”
"It's good to have a road. You go back and ask your people to draw a map and take it to the army for later use. That's a big credit to you. This time, the official came here to make meritorious service and grab merit. To grab the merit is to rob it for the people of our own guard. Banzhou should return to the land in the future, and Jinyi Wei will also set up a guard there, and if you make this work, whoever the guard in that place arranges, you will be able to speak. ”
Luo Xiaozhong was overjoyed and said: "One qiē is all cultivated by Dajinwu!" Rest assured, this map is guaranteed to be drawn clearly, and the army will not be left in the wrong way. ”
"This is one case, the other case, that is, after the official is promoted, you have to keep an eye on Chengdu and even the whole of Sichuan. If you don't have enough manpower, go and mobilize those characters, they can all be your wings. Look at who wants to raise prices, who wants to create riots and spread rumors, and who wants to deceive people and create rebellions, and then keep an eye on those officials, lest any of them have two hearts and stab me in the back. I'm fighting in the front, and I want a big rear that is absolutely stable. If you find an outlaw, you will dispose of it, and after asking for information, you will send him to the western sky. If it's inconvenient for you to start with this person, let those people on the rivers and lakes do it, and now in Sichuan, there is no shortage of roles for dry and wet work. I'm only afraid that you cherish your reputation and care about yin virtue, and you don't dare to kill people, which will ruin my big things. ”
Luo Xiaozhong completely felt the murderous aura from this order, but his face did not change, he only kowtowed and said: "Rest assured, Ti Shuai, I will do my errand well, and I promise not to disappoint you." ”
Seeing him say goodbye and leave, Ren Yingying turned out from behind the screen and said with a smile: "Congratulations to the husband, the three southwestern provinces are located on the border, and the imperial court is beyond the reach of the whip." Now that you have Luo Xiaozhong in place, it will be much more convenient for you to act in the southwest region in the future. ”
"Good Yingying, you still understand my intentions. But simply a Luo loyalty, how can I let go. In the end, it is necessary to use the people of the Holy Gate to watch him and form a balance with each other, so that Sichuan can really be regarded as holding it in his hands. ”
"Husband, this dragon and dragon horse are a talent. In Banzhou, you can be regarded as a good student, how sure are you that you are against him? ”
Zheng Guobao said with a smile: "It's true that Long Xiang is a talent, if it is a fair fight, I will probably lose." But in this world, where does the word fairness come from? No matter how good his insight is, no matter how high his ideas are, in the end, it still depends on people to complete it. His shortcoming lies in the fact that there is no one on his hands. No matter how good the idea is, as soon as the people below implement it, it will be out of shape. And he is an outsider, although he is a colt, but he still has no foundation. No matter how much Yang Yinglong trusts him, it is not the same as the heavenly family trusts me. In this place of Banzhou, the clan power is too strong, and Yang Yinglong's country is maintained by his clan cronies, and these people are not satisfied with the nine-headed horse at all, and most of them are jealous that he has taken away the authority he deserves. In the process, he also does his own thing, and Long Xiang's orders can't be carried out, so why do you fight with me? I want him to watch how I can destroy the one he has worked so hard to build, but I can't do anything about it. ”
Ren Yingying sneered: "The husband is so bold, and the concubine likes it very much." How to deal with this Loushan Pass, I don't know if my husband has an idea? ”
Zheng Guobao hugged her into his arms and kissed her a few times, "With you, the female Zhuge here, I'm too lazy to use my brain." Speak quickly, the idea is good, and the husband will reward you with a big fat son. ”
Ren Yingying's face was full of shame, and she punched a few times, "It's a bad thing that doesn't have a positive shape." If you want to think of this Loushanguan, you still have to be cheaper. When the time comes, your little daughter-in-law in the new door will be happy, and we will fight to the death, and we will never see the newcomer laughing, and who will see the old man crying. Villains with no conscience still have to make you powerless, so that those women can't eat just by looking at them, and slandering them to death. (To be continued......)
