Chapter 43: Conscription

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

The whip was being released at the gate of Qinjiazhai, and the hanging "Yizhang Red" exploded like a thunderbolt and red crumbs everywhere. Ye Xiaotian, Ma Qiancheng, and Ma Qiancheng's uncle, Chief Xuan, and others buried their heads in the choking smell of gunpowder and hurriedly walked forward, until they walked out of the billowing smoke, and then took a long breath.

Qinjiazhai set off the artillery battle to celebrate the victory, and Ye Xiaotian and the others walked in the middle, as if they were doing a happy event. Ye Xiaotian stood still, looked left and right, and said strangely: "Huh? What about my people? ”

Xuan Changling glanced at him angrily, pointed into the distance, and said, "Those faces are your people, right?" ”

Ye Xiaotian put his hand on the awning and looked into the distance, and happened to see a four-wheeled vehicle, and couldn't help but be surprised and delighted: "Aha! They've already been released first, huh? ”

Xuan Yanenvoy snorted: "They didn't catch it at all!"

Ye Xiaotianqi said: "Why? ”

Ma Qiancheng said triumphantly: "It's worthless!" I am the descendant of General Fubo, you are the descendant of General Chong, and famous families like you and me are valuable. ”

Ye Xiaotian: "......"

Ma Qiancheng misunderstood, thinking that he didn't understand the account, and said: "Of course, they are not worth a big man, but as long as they arrest you and me, they don't have to be arrested, they can't be killed, they have to take care of the food and guard, why bother?" Anyway, if you and I are caught, they can't beat them, so when the ransom is calculated, how much they are worth will be converted and added to you and me. ”

Xuan Yan said hatefully: "Yes! So you bastard stuff pit me for thirty-one loads of salt, your friend surnamed Ye ......"

Xuan Yan glanced at Ye Xiaotian and said sadly: "I'll take forty-five loads of salt in!" ”

"What?" Ma Qiancheng was really angry, and asked his uncle with a red face: "Why? Why is Brother Ye worth more than me? Fifteen more quintals of salt? ”

"It's fourteen quintals!" Xuan Yan made the account clear: "Why do you say? Because he was arrested a lot, and he brought so many subordinates, do you think it doesn't count as money? ”

"I see!" Ma Qiancheng turned his anger into joy, and said complacently: "I'll just say it, I thought it was compared to Brother Ye." My horse Qiancheng is not worth much, it turns out that he has many people who have been captured. ”

Ye Xiaotian: "......"

Xuan Changling was angry, and kicked his nephew's ass hard, then looked at Ye Xiaotian, and said unhappily: "Who is the person, how can you get involved with my precious nephew?" ”

Before Ye Xiaotian could speak, Ma Qiancheng hurriedly said: "This Brother Ye is such a long time ago after the Jin Dynasty was the Taishou of Kuocang and the general Ye Gong, uncle, you don't study, you don't understand." ”

Xuan Changling: "......"

Ye Xiaotian coughed. said to Xuan Changling: "Lord Xuan, Ye is the chief of the Guizhou Tongren Woniu Division, and he went to Chengdu Mansion on business. ”

"Oh! Tongren ......, Guizhou"

Xuan Changling rolled his eyes and patted the back of his head, thought hard, and said, "Tongren's big toast seems to be surnamed Zhang, right?" Are you a local official under the command of the Zhang family's great toast? ”

Ye Xiaotian secretly said in his heart: "The news here is really closed, Tongren Mansion has undergone earth-shaking changes, and he doesn't even know it." ”

But after thinking about it, I was relieved, not to mention that the transportation here is inconvenient. The news is indeed closed, even if it is not, there is no need for this local official who guards the salt well to eat and wait for death, and there is no need to inquire about any changes in Tongren, Guizhou. Let's ask, the order of Panyu County, Guangzhou has changed. The two are neither the same year nor the same township, nor are they relatives, so will the county order of Huailai County, Hebei pay attention.

Ye Xiaotian didn't tell him that Zhang Da Fat was finished, and the Zhang clan also moved to Guiyang to follow the Tian family and start a residence, and now the big boss of Tongren Mansion is just a mere one. Instead, he smiled faintly and said, "Exactly!" ”

Ma Qiancheng is probably very intoxicated with the glory created by his ancestors, so he cares more about how glorious the history of a person's ancestors has been. And his uncle Xuanyan is much more realistic, and when he heard that Ye Xiaotian was the current local official of Tongren Mansion, his face looked much better.

Xuan Changling brought Ye Xiaotian and his entourage and his unlucky nephew back to his village, and Ma Qiancheng immediately slapped the table and shouted, wanting to rectify the soldiers and horses again and find Qin Liangyu's bad luck. He has three little cousins, who are nine years old, seven years old, and four years old, and the three little fat men are shouting and cheering around the big cousin with small fists, eager to try, and even the three fat men who are wearing open crotch pants look like they want to follow the big cousin to charge into battle.

Xuan Changling ignored the bastard nephew, and only invited Ye Xiaotian to take a seat, talked politely with him, and asked about the origin of Sichuan. Although Tongren is far away from this place and the transportation is not convenient, the Xuantu official guards the salt well, and the business is not only salt.

Now that he has long since become half a businessman, if there is really any wealth that can be exchanged, it is tantamount to a new way of wealth.

Ye Xiaotian also intends to deal with the local local officials, not to mention that once Yang Yinglong is encircled and suppressed in the future, Sichuan will have imperial court soldiers and horses and local Turkish troops recruited to participate in the war, and it is very likely that there will be cooperation at the time, even if it is outside the war, if the two sides can really establish commercial cooperation, it will not be a mutually beneficial thing. The tycoon's family now lives in Tongren, but the branches have been opened in Jinling, Yangzhou, Suzhou and Hangzhou, and how can Woniuling be left behind.

The two of them talked about this time, there are really many places where they can cooperate, and both of them have local official backgrounds, and the difficulties suffered by the pass checkpoints along the way are bound to be small, and once a stable trade route is established, it will be a stable source of wealth.

Xuan Changling was overjoyed, only to feel that the nephew of the loser could occasionally do some good things, and Ye Xiaotian had a conversation, and the two sides established a preliminary contact, and Xuan Yanenvoy enthusiastically invited Ye Xiaotian and his party to live temporarily in their own village.

At this moment, the housekeeper suddenly led three soldiers wearing mandarin duck battle jackets to walk in. Wearing this kind of battle jacket, it was a soldier of the imperial court, but it was not a native soldier under the account of a certain local official, Xuan Changling didn't know what the comer meant, so he quickly got up, and the smile on his face had disappeared slightly.

With the guidance of the steward, the sergeants already knew that this short and white middle-aged man was the local official here, and the first one hurriedly saluted with his front hand, and said: "Lord Mo, according to the order of the governor, recruit local soldiers from all over the country to help prepare for war along the Song Domain!" ”

As he spoke, the sergeant unfolded an official letter stamped with the governor's defense, looked at it, and said, "Your family has a total of 1,442 households, 8,859 people, and 220 local soldiers have been conscripted, and they must report to Chongqing Mansion within three days." ”

In addition to paying tribute, the local officials in various places also have compulsory military service, Ningxia worship is reversed, the news that the governor personally went to the Song Domain defense line to inspect has spread, Xuan Changling has also heard about it, heard that it is a conscription, relieved, hurriedly took the official document of the governor's palace, and said: "Xuan received the order, within three days, the elite soldiers will be transferred to Chongqing!" ”

The sergeants didn't stay long, nodded and were about to leave, but Ma Qiancheng jumped up from the chair: "Uncle is going to send troops?" My Shizhu Ma family also needs to transfer troops? ”

The sergeant glanced at him with some curiosity, and when he was asked if he was the young Tusi of the Ma family, the sergeant opened a list and looked at it, and said, "Yes, the Shizhu Ma Army has recruited 1,200 native soldiers, and it is time to go to Chongqing to report in the past two days." ”

Ma Qiancheng was overjoyed, rubbed his hands, and said with a red face: "I think I am a descendant of General Fubo, and it is finally time to show my skills." As the young master of the Ma family, how can I not be a soldier in advance for such a big event? Uncle, hurry up and transfer troops, I want to go to Chongqing with your people! ”

When Xuan Changling heard that this unlucky nephew was willing to leave his home and no longer let him send salt out with old tears in his eyes, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said positively: "This is very good! Uncle is going to select the soil soldiers, and tomorrow you will go on the road with them! ”

The sergeant who had not yet left praised when he heard this: "Master Xuan, Ma Shao Tusi, loyal and patriotic, admirable!" ”

Ye Xiaotian: "......"

Xuan Changling was busy selecting and transferring local soldiers in order to lure his defeated nephew away as soon as possible, and Ma Qiancheng, who did not notice his uncle's sincerity at all, happily wanted to help his uncle to select soldiers, and Ye Xiaotian was led to the guest house by the steward. Tian Binfei, Elder Dong and the others were sitting in the guest house chatting, and Ye Xiaotian came in and said, "Everyone, I'm afraid that we will have to leave here tomorrow." ”

Ye Xiaotian told Li Hualong about the conscription, and said: "We are Ma Shao Tusi's guests, Ma Shao Tusi leaves, we are afraid that it will be inconvenient to live anymore." ”

Tian Tianyou and Tian Wenbo were overjoyed when they heard this, since Ningxia rebelled, the imperial court had to implement a policy of appeasement against Yang Yinglong in Banzhou, so that the Feishu report of Zhang Shizhao, He En and others would probably be turned into a big thing and a small matter.

Tian Tianyou blurted out: "In this case, we might as well hurry to Chengdu and end this matter as soon as possible!" ”

Ye Xiaotian and Tian Binfei glanced at each other, each with hidden worries in their eyes, what they were afraid of was that Yang Yinglong's matter would drag on indefinitely, who would think that the worship would not be reversed sooner or later, but at this time they jumped out to make trouble.

Tian Binfei said: "Don't be in a hurry, haven't you listened to Lord Tusi, Governor Li has gone to the Song Domain now?" Could it be that I will wait and chase after the Song Domain? Your Excellency the Governor may not have time to take care of this at this time! Moreover, the worship was contrary to Ningxia, and Shaanxi and Sichuan were shaken, perhaps the imperial court had given up the criticism of the king of heaven. We...... Let's go to Chongqing first and learn about the movements of the imperial court! ”

Tian Tianyou thought about it, and what Tian Binfei said made sense, so he reluctantly nodded and said, "Okay, then we will go to Chongqing with that Ma Qiancheng tomorrow." ”

At the same time, Qinjiazhai is also recruiting strong men. The old man Qin Kui Qin is not a local official, but a local gentry with a meritorious reputation, and he has no obligation to serve in the military, but the old man Qin has always been "the rise and fall of the country, and the husband is responsible", and when he heard the news, he immediately ordered the clansmen to select Ding Zhuang and go to Chongqing to serve with the army.

It's not that enemies don't get together, although she is a daughter, she is more proficient in the art of war than many men, and she is used to fighting in battle, and she is the commander of this militia! (To be continued.) )
