Jingkang Chapter A Lonely City and Ten Thousand Mountains Section 63 Mutiny

So Uncle Zhang asked for another holy decree, which was regarded as the emperor's guarantee. However, Zhao Huan kept an eye on it and asked Sun Fu to supervise the loan together, with Mei Zhili as the "clothing collector", and the borrowed money could only be used to purchase winter clothes, and could not be diverted for other purposes.

The day after Uncle Zhang asked for the Holy Decree to return to the Holy Decree, Song Jiang brought a person: "In addition to this Cao Yuan, he is willing to lend 50,000 yuan." ”

Uncle Zhang looked at it at night, and saw this Cao Yuanwai kneeling on the ground, bowing his head, and said, "Stand up and speak." Cao Yuanwai raised his head, and Zhang Shuye saw that this person's face was full of meat, like a butcher, so he asked suspiciously: "What does Cao Yuanwai do for a living, are you willing to donate to the official army?" ”

The person who came was Cao Zheng, he dragged his family to Bianliang, with the help of an old friend in Bianliang, Caojiazhuang had more than 100 people, and there was no livelihood for a while, and the mountain was empty.

The old garrison of the Bianliang forbidden army has long been turned into a commercial workshop, the generals take out the barracks for rent, and the soldiers have become peddlers and pawns, so Bianliang claims to have 800,000 standing forbidden troops, but even 180,000 sergeants can't get together.

Through Hu Yangong's relationship, Hu Yangeng conveniently opened a pawn shop in the barracks, and Cao Zheng became the shopkeeper. At present, the soldiers are in chaos, and the former livelihood of the Bianliang military has long been stopped. Hu Yangeng asked Cao Zheng's pawnshop not to charge interest for the time being, and the soldiers and men took the things at home to pawn, in order to let the whole family spend this winter. Cao Zheng's pawn shop was just opened.

Now, Cao Zheng replied to Uncle Zhang's words: "The villain opened a pawnshop in Shuiguan Daying, talking about making a living, the villain's hometown of Mengzhou, most of the people were killed by gold thieves, so they are willing to help the officials and soldiers." ”

"It turned out that he was a pawnshopkeeper, and he wanted to seek revenge on the gold thief," Zhang Shuye thought, "It makes sense." Then he asked: "Cao Yuanwai is willing to lend 50,000 yuan?" Do you want to make money? ”

"Grass farmers are willing to lend half a year, with a monthly interest."

A cent of profit is not high, but Zhang Shuye still frowned: "Where is the righteousness of the country, how can Cao Yuanwai still collect interest?" ”

Cao Zheng showed a sincere smile: "The grass people have not read the books of sages, and they have not received any benefits from the court when they were soldiers to eat food, they were only called by military generals, and later they made a living by killing pigs and saved some money, and when the gold thief came, I didn't see the court to save me." fled to Bianliang, but did not receive help from the imperial court. Upstairs in Xuande, there is a lot of money, only 50,000 yuan, and it depends on the grass people to borrow. ”

Uncle Zhang was speechless at night, stunned for a while, and then said: "Then first ask Cao Yuan to borrow 50,000 guan, and the other 100,000, and the official will try to let the nobles everywhere get together."

Hu Yan Geng's estimated cost of winter clothes is 150,000 guan, during the Xuanhe period of the Northern Song Dynasty, the price of rice is 2,600 wen a stone, after the siege of Jingkang Nian Jin soldiers, the price of rice rose to 3,000 wen, according to this price, to buy a winter coat for each soldier, about the same amount of money, so Hu Yan Geng asked Cao Zheng to lend 150,000 guan, and this cost is Hu Yan Geng's national tax intercepted in Zezhou. In order to prevent the news of this national tax from leaking, Shi Bingyi, the deputy envoy of Hedong Road, this upright scholar, has been under house arrest by Hu Yangeng.

He asked Cao Zheng to lend 50,000 yuan first, so as not to scare Zhang Shumi all at once, and not to attract too much attention from hungry wolves.

And the nominal proprietor behind Cao Zheng's money is not Hu Yangeng, but another noble son - Shi Xingfang. A few days ago, Shi Xingfang stood in front of Hu Yangeng with a big pinch: "Nai Weng told you, if you don't bleed out, my father will go to sue the emperor, and the entire 600,000 yuan of military funds will be beheaded all over the house." ”

Xuanzan and others took a total of 3 million yuan in Zezhou and 600,000 yuan in military funds. After returning to Bianliang, the annual amount was handed in, but the military funds of 600,000 guan were withheld by Hu Yangeng.

Since returning to Bianliang, Shi Xingfang ran home, and Hu Yangeng didn't bother to care about him, but today he suddenly appeared, and after retreating, Shi Xingfang issued his request: "Nai Weng wants half." ”

From a businessman's point of view, Shi Xingfang is very shrewd in doing this, if he denounces, this huge amount of money will only be collected by the imperial court, and he Shi Xingfang can only get a dime, now he wants half, and he left half for Hu Yan Geng, most of which Hu Yan Geng can give.

Sure enough, Hu Yangeng began to bargain, and finally the two reached an agreement to lend the loan to the Privy Council, and lent it to Cao Zheng's pawnshop in the name of Shi Xingfang, and after Cao Zheng recovered the loan to the Privy Council, he handed it over to Shi Xingfang with interest. At the same time, in the name of assisting military affairs, Hu Yangeng asked Shi Xingfang for credit.

The Privy Council asked Cao Zheng to borrow as much as he wanted, and even how much he returned to Shi Xingfang with interest, with 50,000 guan as the lower limit and 150,000 guan as the upper limit

Shi Xingfang was not in a hurry to ask for cash, in this port of the siege of the golden soldiers, he really forced Hu Yangeng to be in a hurry, and he might be killed.

So, Cao Zheng said to Zhang Shuye: "This money is lent on behalf of the founding honors of the Shi family. ”

"The Shi family has received the grace of the country, but I didn't expect to make a fortune and receive a profit." Uncle Zhang couldn't help but feel depressed at night, but after thinking about it, other families are noble, and they don't even want to borrow it, and the Shi family is not bad.

At this time, Wu Yong brought another person in, it was Zhang Shixiong, a wealthy man who opened a quality warehouse in Tokyo, and he came to Uncle Zhang a few days ago to offer advice: "The soldiers are hungry and cold on weekdays, but when they are employing people today, they are exposed to the wind and snow with a single cold body, and it is difficult to resist the enemy with all their lives? Please include the rich households in Beijing, each family should prepare ten people's cotton jackets, cotton prayers, socks, etc., except for shoes, and no linen shall be used. If it is damaged and thin, it will be fined and redone. If you send 10,000 families, you can get 100,000 people with warm clothes, so that the soldiers will be happy to fight and forget to die! Shi Xiong also opened the quality warehouse, willing to be twice as many as everyone else, and prepare twenty people's clothes. The original intention was to donate winter clothes, but now that Zhang Shumi has money, he doesn't need to donate, Zhang Shuye told him to contact the wealthy households in Kaifeng: each family prepares 200 sets of winter clothes, "just sell them." ”

In this way, Zhang Shuye finally solved the problem of the defenders' winter clothes on paper. As for actually making winter clothes and distributing them to the soldiers, it will take time. The officers and soldiers defending the city had to let them freeze first.

As a result, only three days later, on the evening of the 15th day of the lunar month, someone gave an order: "The Ximen army Han killed Xin Yongzong, and Hu Yan Geng went to quell the chaos quickly." ”

Hu Yan Geng went out of the camp and saw a man dressed as a scribe standing aside. When the scribe saw Hu Yan Geng, he stepped forward to salute: "General Hu Yan, Zhang Shumi's subordinates are running for the text machine Yi Wu to meet you, and the privy secretary asks me to go to the east gate with you." ”

Xin Yongzong is the third son of Xin Shuxian, and Xin Xingzong, the former commander of the Western Route Army in the Battle of Yanyun, and Xin Qizong, who led the Chenzhou Department together with Liu Guangguo, are brothers. This time to guard Bianliang, he was also arranged to guard the west under Liu Yanqing.

Liu Yanqing's department came back too late, and the fortifications on the other three sides had been roughly formed, and the west had not yet started, so Liu Yanqing ordered the generals on duty every day to urge the army Han Ding Zhuang to rush to work day and night. For a while, there were many complaints, and Liu Guangguo, Xin Qizong and others whipped the erring military man Ding Zhuang in order to promote the degree. Resentment has long gathered, just waiting for an erupting spark.

With the siege of the city by the Jin soldiers, the western city wall, regardless of whether it would lead the army and the Han people, still knew who was the enemy, and this contradiction was temporarily covered up. But after the heavy snowfall, the Song soldiers were frozen and hungry. And although there was enough food in the city to feed the army for three months, the people still had to buy food at market prices. And the merchants hoarded Juqi, and the price of grain in Bianliang had risen to 3,500 wen and one stone.

Liu Yanqing's subordinate soldiers are composed of the old foundation of his Huanqing Army and the Metropolitan Gate Forbidden Army, and most of the family members of the Metropolitan Gate Forbidden Army also live in Bianliang City. The families of these soldiers have already begun to run out of food. So the Dumen Forbidden Army asked Xin Yongzong, who commanded them, for his life, and asked for food to be sent to the families of the forbidden army.

Xin Yongzong didn't think that whether the Dumen Forbidden Army was starving to death or not had anything to do with him, so he led the guards to suppress it.

The soldiers of the forbidden army shouted: "The Xin control system colludes with the Jin people, and they are not allowed to send food." "Thousands of soldiers and civilians gathered on the western city wall and beat the drums. Xin Yongzong ordered the guards to shoot arrows downward on the city tower, and the army and the people were in chaos.

Some soldiers on the tower of the city shot arrows to scare the people, instead of shooting real arrows, Xin Yongzong reprimanded them. So the soldiers suggested that Xin Yongzong was a relative of Tong Guan and a spy of the Jin people, and the soldiers in the city were also in chaos, and some people opened the passage of the city tower to let the people go to the city, and thousands of people rushed up to cut Xin Yongzong into pulp.

As early as when Xin Yongzong was trapped by his subordinates, Xin Qizong, Xin Daozong, Xin Kangzong and other brothers brought their henchmen to save people, but there were too few people to squeeze in.

The battle between the Metropolitan Gate Forbidden Army and the Jin Soldiers is not effective, but the Son of Heaven is used to it, where will he put the soil buns from the northwest in his eyes, although there is no main backbone general, but the Metropolitan Gate Forbidden Army spontaneously drew its sword and attacked the Huanqing Army, and the two sides fought in a melee on the west wall of the city tower.

When Hu Yangeng rushed to the west city wall with Wu Yong and the guards, the situation had gradually calmed down, Liu Guangguo finally persuaded the Xin brothers, and Yao Youzhong suppressed the Dumen Forbidden Army. Xin Qizong said to Liu Guangguo: "My brother was killed by a traitor, and the court can't ban it, and it won't be cured. Everything is tolerated and orders are not done. ”

Hu Yangeng saw that Liu Guangguo, Xin Qizong and others had already captured hundreds of people and tied them to the root of the wall with ropes. He heard Liu Guangguo say, "When you get the rest of the thieves, you will behead them and show them to the public." ”

Hu Yangeng stepped forward immediately: "Liu is in control, Xin is in charge, Hu Yan Geng is here to listen to the dispatch." ”

"Shu Kang came just in time." Xin Qizong said: "Be a witness for the Sprinkle family, and these traitors will be beheaded later." ”

Hu Yangeng said: "Such a big thing, it should be reported to the privy council." ”

Xin Qizong was furious: "Sprinkle the family and kill some chaotic people, why do you need to report to the privy council." ”

Wu Yong said: "I am the secretary of the Privy Council, the Privy Counsel knows about this matter, and the Privy Counsel should be asked to decide." ”

Xin Qizong waited for another fight, and Liu Guangguo said: "Please ask the privy to make a decision impartially, and don't make the general feel cold." "Liu Guangguo's arrogance has been somewhat restrained since Yanjing's defeat and retreat. Moreover, the composition of the gate control army is complex, and even the most inconspicuous soldiers do not know which official will be implicated in the twists and turns.

"The right to detain the prisoners on the western wall, and we will go and ask the privy counsel to give them."

Xin Qizong, Hu Yangeng and others came to the Privy Council, and Uncle Zhang comforted Xin Qizong in a good night, and ordered that about ten people who took the lead and personally killed Xin Yongzong be shown to the public, and the heads of the nine sects were passed on.

However, the families of the Dumen forbidden army and the civilians of Bianliang still have not solved the problem of food and grass. This turmoil finally alarmed Zhao Huan in the deep palace.
