Yang Zhenxi and Cai Maode knew each other, although they did not have a deep relationship, but they also knew the personality of the governor of Shanxi, so he hurriedly greeted him as soon as he entered the house. Subsequently, this salt transport envoy with an important position and fat difference is really a person who is proficient in officialdom and has eight faces, and he constantly compliments Cai Maode and Zhou Yuji when he comes up.

Tang Laihe, the official of the push, then arrived, and the three most important officials in Yangzhou arrived.

Yangzhou magistrate Tang Laihe and Cai Maode don't know each other, but how could he not have heard of such a person, especially the battle between Yang Liuqing and Shanxi has spread all over the world, although I don't understand how to come to Yangzhou, but these three are not simple characters, so they are also frequently complimented.

After all the procedures for the meeting, Cai Maode and Ma Mingluo had reached a tacit understanding, and they exchanged a few polite greetings, and avoided them under the pretext of being tired. How Ma Mingluo communicates with Yang Zhenxi and Tang Laihe is out of control, but obviously the chances of success are five or five, and the three of them can only look forward to it.

In the guest room of the yamen of the Yangzhou prefect, Cai Maode and Zhou Yuji, father and son, began to wait anxiously.

Cai Maode finally realized that this Yangzhou was too important, not only for this newly built imperial court, but also for this army, even for him himself. In Tsai Maode's initial jihua, he wanted to enter the court and rank in the court. After thinking about it, what can he do when he enters the court, he is a governor who came over in Shanxi, and he has no friendship with the first assistant Ma Shiying, nor does he have a deep relationship with the ministers, and he has never seen the emperor.

A province was once a feudal territory, and now he wants to make a difference in Jiangnan, and the only thing he hopes for is the nearly 100,000 troops. Separated from this team, he Cai Maode is probably nothing, and it is estimated that the imperial court will give him an idle position to let him go wherever he wants.

After thinking about this, Cai Maode is not in a hurry to meet any new emperor, it is unrealistic to expect to be ranked in the court, and it is most important to stabilize this army.

"If we can't come to Yangzhou, what can we do?" The three officials in Yangzhou had been discussing for a long time, and the tea was already cold, and Cai Maode began to worry:

What Cai Maode means is, what if these three people in Yangzhou disagree?

What to do? Cold!

Zhou Huchen had a way, he tapped his fingers on the table and spoke: "It doesn't matter if we don't agree with each other, we can just come over directly, anyway, we won't disturb the people, just go around Yangzhou City all day long." People have to live, and so do we! ”

Isn't that a nuisance?

Cai Maode's adaptability has become very strong, he didn't say it directly, Zhou Huchen has done too much of this kind of thing, it's nothing. But more than 100,000 people are wandering outside Yangzhou City, do you dare to open the city gate of Yangzhou City? What about the affairs of officials? Who would dare to come out of the common people? Do you want to live a normal life?

Understood, this is to be stronger!

If the officials in Yangzhou do not compromise, I will not leave outside the city, of course I will not attack the city, nor will I rob the people, but Yangzhou will eventually compromise. As for the imperial court to send people to make arrangements, it depends on whether this army is willing or not.

Sure enough! This method was too much in line with Cai Maode's appetite, and he began to shake his head frequently.

It was close to noon, and Ma Mingluo, the prefect of Yangzhou, finally appeared.

"In three days, the gates of Yangzhou City will not be closed!" Ma Mingluo was smiling, and the smile was meaningful.

Human spirits, all human spirits!

These Ming officials did not have fuel-efficient lamps, and Yang Zhenxi, the salt transport envoy, and Tang Laihe, the pusher, withdrew directly without even saying hello. This is tantamount to shirking responsibility, and will not be true, once others ask, everyone can explain that Zhou Yuji's army is forcibly entering.

Admire! Everyone is a master, and they can not only shirk their responsibilities, but also get a strong army, except for supporting some food, this deal is too cost-effective.

Zhou Huchen wondered that the exquisite minds of the Ming officials did not use a strong army, nor did they use civil affairs. When Jiannu entered the customs, their minds were not enough? Strength really isn't like that, you need strength to do it!

But the means are sometimes very good, especially at this time, Yangzhou is in hand.

"Is there anything else you need to say?" There must be still requirements, Zhou Huchen didn't wait, Cai Maode and Zhou Yuji were just happy, and they were both smirking, so Zhou Huchen asked directly.

"Officials and generals and their families can enter the city, and the accommodation in this Yangzhou city must be limited" Ma Mingluo was still laughing, this Jingzhong Tiger seemed to be quite easy to speak.

Zhou Huchen stood up and saluted: "Don't worry, in order to reduce the pressure on Yangzhou City, all family members will not enter Yangzhou City, and part of the army will also be stationed outside the city, including Lord Cai and the families of all the generals will be placed elsewhere, please rest assured, the little nephew has made arrangements." ”

"When the army enters Yangzhou, it is only responsible for military affairs, and all kinds of income and taxes and money are not allowed to interfere with the exchange of money. Ma Mingluo squinted his eyes and continued to put forward conditions with a calm expression.

"This is natural, the army is responsible for defense, how can it interfere with local divisions." Cai Maode looked at Zhou Yuji while making his approval.

Zhou Yuji had nothing to say, this was in line with the imperial court system, and he immediately agreed.

Ma Mingluo's eyes lit up: "A gentleman's word." ”

Cai Maode clapped his hands: "Hurry up and whip the horse." ”

Looking at Zhou Yuji again, Ma Mingluo still needs Zhou Yuji to make a commitment.

Zhou Yuji smiled: "A gentleman promises a thousand gold, if it is violated, Zhou Yuji will personally come to the door to ask the adult for the guilt!" ”

smiling like a summer flower, Ma Mingluo was completely relieved, Zhou Yuji's reputation has always been good, this is not a person who makes promises casually. The big event has been decided, and Cai Maode and Zhou Yuji also saw the opportunity to leave. In order not to attract attention and make people suspicious, Ma Mingluo immediately arranged for a few caring family members to send this trip out the back door, and then - he began to prepare.

Cai Maode was full of confidence, and on the return trip, he was full of excitement and kept discussing some issues with Zhou Yuji. Solving this garrison problem can be regarded as gaining a firm foothold in Jiangnan, and as for the arrangement of the imperial court, he doesn't care too much about it.

One morning in the fifth month of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, a large army appeared on the south side of Yangzhou City.

Yangzhou people are proud, this land is rich, beautiful, is a very developed trade center, people from the south to the north have to visit Yangzhou, because there are world-famous gardens, there are many literati and writers, there is a flourishing economy. Yangzhou leads the trend of the times, whether it is culture, clothing, food and its prosperity, all of which make people yearn.

Due to the narrow scope of the old city of Yangzhou, after the commercial prosperity of Yangzhou was restored in the Ming Dynasty, a large prosperous commercial area was formed between the east side of the canal, and the new city was built during the Jiajing period. Since then, Yangzhou has formed a pattern of juxtaposition of the old and new cities. The new city was a salt merchant settlement, while the old city was a gentry settlement. The streets and alleys of the new city are irregularly curved, while the streets and alleys of the old city are straight and square, and the old city is mostly quiet residential areas, and the commercial area is far less prosperous than the new city. The old city and the new city are separated by the city wall and the small Qinhuai River, but the two cities are connected. The north and south water gates are shared, which is really one.

Xu Ning Gate, also known as Nanbian Gate, is a city gate where people come and go most frequently.

It is the early summer season, and there are many people of all kinds on the official road. At this peaceful and warm moment, suddenly, there was a terrifying sound of horses' hooves behind him.

The cavalry like a long dragon arrived in a blink of an eye, and some stunned pedestrians dodged to both sides, and these fierce knights wore helmets and armor, looking like they were facing a great enemy, which made people very surprised. The clothes of these cavalrymen were very special, completely different from ordinary officers and soldiers. When the cavalry came to the gate of Xu Ningmen, what was surprising was that the soldiers defending the city did not take any action except for their faces full of consternation.

The cavalry began to enter the city, which caused a panic in the city, and the people looked up in astonishment, but before they could understand that the cavalry had already swept by. The cavalry procession was too long, and it took nearly half an hour for the cavalry to finally pass through the city gates.

Soon after, feeling that there was no danger, the people who had fled were finally no longer afraid, and the people outside the city who were hiding on the side of the road, and the people hiding in the houses and alleys inside the city ran back and began to watch the excitement. Because, these soldiers have no intention of invading the people outside the city and inside the city, and they are completely entering with discipline.
