[Thanks; The reward of the two book friends of the wrong flower heart and the blood pervert court! 】

Yangzhou urban area is located at the confluence of the Yangtze River and the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, which runs through the hinterland.

The city is surrounded and divided by canals, making boating a part of everyday life. The prosperity of Yangzhou City has always been closely related to the Grand Canal, and in recent years, the Central Plains has been in turmoil, and the mobilization of grain, rice, salt and iron has become more frequent. Thousands of sails on the Grand Canal have competed, and countless small people rely on this canal to make a living.

Yangzhou, because it is located in the throat of the Maritime Silk Road to Beijing in the north, developed into the southeast economic center in the Tang Dynasty. It is so important that the world has three points of bright moon, and Yangzhou accounts for two points! "The sunset ship of Wanshang is handed over, and the spring breeze and wine in the city are together", Yangzhou's prosperous market has been stimulated to be extremely hot, and people from all walks of life have "wrapped 100,000 yuan in their waists and rode cranes down to Yangzhou".

What are you all doing? Li Bai Shiyun: "The jade bottle sells fine wine, and the cup is on the avenue." ”

This is the rich, beautiful, and historically influential Yangzhou.

There have been many military conflicts in Yangzhou throughout history, which is due to the strategic importance of the Jianghuai region. At the beginning of each dynastic history, whenever there was a period of division, the Jianghuai often became a border. Yangzhou was located on a north-south transportation route, making it a possible military target in the event of a dynastic conflict. Capturing the city meant easy access to the Yangtze River for Shili in the north and a powerful barrier to the Yangtze River for Shili in the south. In times of peace and stability, the city can also become an important administrative center. As an inter-regional transportation and trade route, especially as an annual route for transporting grain from the south to the north, the Grand Canal makes Yangzhou extremely important because it is an important port on the canal.

The city of Yangzhou is bustling with people shuttling and shuttling, and this rich and beautiful city has not been affected by the fall of the northern capital in the slightest, and is still continuing its prosperity.

A group of more than ten people entered Yangzhou City without hindrance, although it was a little special, but the doorman guarding the door only looked at it twice, and did not step forward to stop and ask. This group of people is not special in clothing, but in shape, except for an old man who wears the clothes of a scholar, the rest of them are all tall and strong. Especially a young man, tall and sturdy, walking on the streets of this place south of the Yangtze River, he definitely stands out from the crowd.

The current prefect of Yangzhou is Ma Mingluo, a native of Shanxi who once served as the head of the Ministry of Officials in Beijing. He and Cai Maode are very familiar, although the age difference between the two is not big, but Ma Mingluo is Cai Maode's junior, and Ma Mingluo has always been respectful to the hard-working Cai Maode.

Looking at the famous thorn handed over by Menzi, Ma Mingluo did not hesitate and went directly out of the gate of his prefect's mansion.

Looking at Cai Maode, who was wearing ordinary clothes, Ma Mingluo bowed directly: "Mr. Yunyi actually came to Yangzhou, the students are very honored!" ”

Cai Maode stretched out his hand to help, his official position is much higher than Ma Mingluo, and Ma Mingluo belongs to the younger generation, he is called calm and acceptable.

"Jianzhang don't come to harm's way, come, see if you know this?" Jianzhang is Ma Mingluo's word, a greeting, Cai Maode stretched out his hand to signal.

Looking at the thick-bearded man in front of him, this person was very familiar, and Ma Mingluo remembered: "Zhou Zhou Cuibei"

Ma Mingluo once served in the Ministry of Officials in Beijing, and had dealt with Zhou Yuji, and he didn't have much contact, but he knew each other. Ma Mingluo was a little stunned, the news that Cai Maode and Zhou Yuji were strongly blocking Li Zicheng in Shanxi spread all over the country, why did they suddenly arrive in Yangzhou?

The front of the gate was obviously not suitable for receiving guests, and Zhou Yuji exchanged salutes, and a group of people entered the yamen of the Yangzhou prefect.

The guest and the host sat down, and Cai Maode stretched out his hand and pointed to Zhou Huchen: "This is Cui Rong's eldest son Xiaohu, the famous Huchen, the word Binghan, the famous Jingzhong Tiger of the Beijing Division!" Jianzhang must have heard of it. ”

Zhou Huchen got up and bowed respectfully: "The little nephew has seen Master Ma." ”

"I've heard it for a long time, Xiaohu doesn't have to be polite!" As a former Beijing official, how could Ma Mingluo not know about the Jingzhong Tiger, but he had never seen it.

The next person served tea, and Ma Mingluo hurriedly asked: "I have already heard that Mr. and Cui Rong frustrated the thief Kou Li Zicheng in Shanxi, why did Mr. come to Yangzhou?" ”

Cai Maode replied with a smile: "Shanxi is dead!" It can last a long time, so the old man and Cui Rong led more than 100,000 people to Jiangnan to try to make a great cause! ”

Shanxi is more than 2,000 miles away from Yangzhou in the south of the Yangtze River, and Cai Maode said it easily, but think about more than 100,000 people fighting for more than 2,000 miles. Ma Mingluo has to admire, more than 2,000 miles away, more than 100,000 people came to Jiangnan, what a big deal, the consumption of this road is simply immeasurable, plus the unknown dangers on the way, these people from Shanxi are really amazing.

"Sir, this move students admire!"

Picking up the teacup, Cai Maode moistened his throat, and then looked at Ma Mingluo with burning eyes: "Hundreds of thousands of people, 80,000 invincible soldiers, these soldiers once defeated tens of thousands of Jiannu troops with 1,000 people in the past, and once let Li Zicheng, the hundreds of thousands of troops of the thief, return in Shanxi. ”

This is too straightforward, Cai Maode put forward the conditions without euphemism, and demonstrated the combat effectiveness of this army.

Ma Mingluo was already a little stupid, and he was silent for a long time with his mouth open.

It's excitement, it's shock. can defeat Li Zicheng's hundreds of thousands of troops, these soldiers come to garrison Yangzhou, who can defeat Yangzhou? Ma Mingluo: This is undoubtedly like a dream. This is Zhou Yuji's army, there is no need to think about military discipline, the only thing to worry about is food, by the way, and

"Is it the imperial court that is so settled? Mr. has informed Bixia and the princes of the imperial court? Or the Shi Cabinet Department" Ma Mingluo finally came to his senses, Cai Maode and Zhou Yuji came to Yangzhou, he couldn't wait, but this still needs the approval of the courtiers and the superintendent Shi Kefa, the master of Jiangbei, and needs an instruction.

Cai Maode didn't mention any instructions at all: "The old man has just come to Jiangnan, and now the sons and daughters are stationed in Yizheng, and Huang Shuai is taking care of him, and the old man is going to Nandu to meet the new emperor soon, and the old man likes this Yangzhou!" ”

You like, but isn't it embarrassing?

Ma Mingluo began to have a big head, without Shi Kefa's military order, without the permission of the imperial court, let Cai Maode and Zhou Yuji's army enter Yangzhou, how can he take responsibility? Cai Maode is very domineering, but Ma Mingluo can't offend Cai Maode and Zhou Yuji, this is not only a matter of elders and respect, Cai Maode has pointed out that more than 100,000 people from Shanxi are in Yizheng, which shows a more serious problem, these hundreds of thousands of people are Huang Degong's allies. Huang Degong is already very strong, plus these tougher Shanxi soldiers, the entire Jiangnan area is invincible, how can Ma Mingluo afford to provoke him?

For a long, long time, Ma Mingluo did not respond.

Cai Maode smiled, Zhou Yuji was expressionless, and Zhou Huchen sat there in a regular manner, not knowing what he was thinking.

Silence is not the way, you can't refuse this invincible temptation, the decision is a little difficult, after all, it is possible to delay your future and there are risks, but Ma Mingluo also knows that Yangzhou will become a battlefield sooner or later, and Yangzhou needs a strong army to guard.

After hesitating for a long time, Ma Mingluo finally spoke: "If Mr. comes to Yangzhou, so let's do it, the two Huai salt transport envoys Yang Xianming and Tuiguan Tang Laihe have a very good relationship with the students, can you?"

Cai Maode bowed slightly, this Ma Mingluo has a lot of experience in officialdom, for this kind of temptation, he is saving the country in the curve, which is equivalent to preparing to come to a collective binding, after all, the army needs a lot of food, Ma Mingluo needs to reach an agreement with the two Huai Yanyun and Yangzhou officials, which has the meaning of gambling. With Huang Degong as the backing, plus these Shanxi male soldiers, this is equivalent to cutting first and then playing, anyway, there is no way for others to enter Yangzhou. And above the court, with Cai Maode and Zhou Yuji, plus Huang Degong as Olympic aid, it is estimated that no one can do anything about these officials in Yangzhou.

The full name of the two Huai salt transport envoys is the salt transport envoy of the two Huai Du to the salt transport envoy, and the two Huai salt transport envoys grasp the lifeline of the salt industry in the south of the Yangtze River, and collect salt taxes from the two Huai salt merchants, under the jurisdiction of the Huai'an Branch, Taizhou Branch, etc. The government office of the two Huai Salt Transport Envoys is in Yangzhou City, which is an existence that exceeds the Yangzhou prefect.

Among the officials of the Yangzhou Prefecture, the prefect was not important, but lived under the salt envoy, who was actually in charge of the two Huai salt administrations, as well as a growing number of other local affairs. As the center of salt administration, Yangzhou is constrained by the relationship between the salt producing and marketing areas in its hinterland, which has an impact on the city and the region as a whole, and the importance of the salt trade is equal to the importance of land for the country's economic, cultural and ethical causes.

Since it is going to be tied, it is necessary to tie up the two Huai salt transport envoys. Yang Xianming is the word of Yang Zhenxi, the envoy of the two Huai salt transports, this Yang Zhenxi is a native of Jiaxing, Zhejiang, and belongs to an eight-sided exquisite character.

Cai Maode is a native of Kunshan, Suzhou Prefecture, he once worked as a pusher in Hangzhou and had contact with Yang Zhenxi. As for Tang Laihe, the official of Yangzhou, this person does not know.
