Chapter 917: Zhao Jin Travels

And this Xu Housheng and Louis have learned a few words of foreigner language, not to know about casting and firearms, this is difficult to be fooled, who knows that there are foreigners in Xuzhou, and there are few in Daming 6, not to mention that Xu Housheng knows a lot about the livelihood on the iron, presumably the other party is not so easy to find the right one to fool and deceive.

"You still have a mind in this future life." Li Laohai commented, and didn't say much, he had to follow him on the return trip.

After putting the interpreter on the sampan and sending him away, Xu Housheng's boat set sail, and it was inconvenient to go to sea at night, but Li Laohai found a convenient place for them, and stayed overnight in a private port near Macao, and then set off the next day.

When they came out the next day, Nie Hei and the others relaxed a little, and when they couldn't see the 6 places on the boat, Xu Housheng wrote an IOU to Li Laohai and pressed his handprint.

The two strong foreigners are brothers, surnamed Burgos, the elder brother's name is Bento, the younger brother Pedro, the elder brother is married, his wife and son have been arrested, and the younger brother is still a bachelor.

The adults were shackled, and the children were guarded and separated from the adults, which frightened the two craftsmen, and they couldn't help but think of the allusion to the slave trade, and wondered if they had become slaves, and if they were to be trafficked to do hard labor.

No one expected that the craftsman's affairs would be done so well, thinking about the praise and merit of going back, everyone was full of interest, and Xu Housheng was a little more curious, and asked Li Laohai how to arrest these people.

Li Laohai didn't hide it, he explained the ins and outs of the future, Li Laohai's merchant house had a lot of dealings with the Franc machine people in Macau, and he could talk up and down, and found the governor's side, and sent Xu Housheng's cash directly to the side, and that side gave convenience, and directly selected two people in the cannon factory who had no foundation and met Xu Housheng's requirements, and arranged for the people of the cannon factory to lead the two craftsmen and their families to the secret place, directly gag and tied up the sack, and conveniently transported them all the way to the ship

Hearing this statement, Xu Housheng was dumbfounded by others, thinking that his family thought it was difficult, he never thought it was so simple, it was nothing more than the silver spent, of course, then again, if it wasn't for the people on the ground, you wouldn't be able to give it away if you had silver.

"Money can make ghosts grind, and money over 100,000 can be channeled, these words used to be a joke, but today I know that this is really the case." I can't help but feel sorry for Xu Housheng.

"In this world, only when the official sells salt and drives the sea to get silver the fastest, it is difficult for you to dig out the gold in that place in Xuzhou, why do you have so much money, the old man wants to go over and take a look." Li Laohai was indeed a little curious.

However, the journey from Macao in Xiangshan County, Guangdong Province to Songjiang Mansion in Nanzhili is not a day or two at sea.

After Chen Huang returned to Hejiazhuang, Zhao Jin immediately mobilized troops and horses to prepare for the trip.

It is common for folk tyrants to gather hundreds or thousands of people, but it is a great taboo to take hundreds or thousands of people through the state, and the government has to ask questions.

However, these rules can't be controlled by Zhao Jin, even if there is no tacit understanding with the imperial court, who can manage Zhao Zi's battalion in Xuzhou and the northern half of Huai'an Mansion, this time with six companies and a hundred cavalry, there are reliable forces of Zhao Zi's battalion along the way, and these guards are enough to ensure Zhao Jin's safety.

This time, the escort team was not according to the establishment, but was selected by Zhao Jin, and the pro-guard team, the first regiment, the fire gun company and the Xueding were all selected, and the selected people were all recognized as excellent, and they all felt that their faces were bright, but some of them didn't think so.

When passing by Xuzhou City this time, Zhao Jin did not spend the night in the city, but he still went into the city to meet his parents, and also met the elders of Chen Huang and Wang Zhaojing.

"Or live in Hejiazhuang, or go to the village on the east bank of Luoma Lake, if you don't go, the kid will not be filial, and you will have to take your uncles over."

Zhao Zhentang and He Cuihua said well, to Chen Huang's parents and Wang Zhaojing's father, Zhao Jin didn't pay attention to any etiquette this time, and directly said hard words, but looking at his attitude, these two families did not dare to slack off, knowing that Zhao Jin must have his reasons for this, it is better to obey, everyone moved on the same day, and it is easy to mobilize manpower anyway.

In addition to these people, Zhao Jin also met with Zhao Shiyi and a few of them, some of them were interviewed individually, and some were encouraged together, what everyone didn't expect was that Chen Ergou was actually called, which made all parties in the city understand that this defeated former Xuzhou Jianghu figure can be regarded as turning over.

After Zhao Jin left Xuzhou City, Zhao Shiyi, who had always been here and never left, also left for a few days, and began to guess that something was going to happen, but he couldn't see what he was going to do, and some people connected it with the earthquake in Shandong, and they all said that the sky was falling apart, this is to change the dynasty, and Jin Ye is going to do something big, this news is true or false, many people believe it, until the people in the yamen and Zhao Ziying came forward to warn, and it stopped.

When he was in Pizhou, Zhao Jin adjusted the location of the third brigade, it turned out that the third brigade led by Li He was Gongwei Pizhou City, but this time he transferred the third team to the vicinity of Shuanggou Town, which is already considered to be in Xuzhou, in that position, the Cheng family in Pizhou and the Jiang family in Fangcun can support at any time, plus the group training, it is also the strength of 2,000 people, but this is also a common thing, and no one cares.

Yutou Town, on the shore of Luoma Lake, has now begun to be busy and lively, the busiest of which is the wharf of the Sun Family Commercial Bank and Yunshan Xing, where a large amount of grain is being loaded onto the ship, which is the business reported by Geng Mancang last time.

Zhao Jin saw Sun Jia, and said the words he told the other elders again, and also told him that as long as there is something to do, don't take care of any family property, take your family and run towards the village on the east bank of Luoma Lake, and let him clean it up afterwards.

Coming from Xuzhou all the way east, the nearest way to the east shore of Luoma Lake is to cross the lake by boat, but Ji Xiang, who followed him, insisted on taking 6 roads and bypassing the lake shore, although it was also necessary to cross the canal.

"The lake is vast, there are a lot of us, there is really a mistake on it, it is too late to rescue, the eldest brother is very important now, and now he is not in a hurry, it is better to be safe." Yoshika has his considerations.

Ji Xiang's words make sense, Zhao Jin is also good, and there is also an advantage to bypassing the south side of Luoma Lake, staying in Suqian County for a day and dealing with the locals.

Yutou Town to Qingjiangpu, there are three counties along the canal, Suqian, Siyang and Qinghe, Qinghe County is equivalent to the edge of Qingjiangpu, has long been the sphere of influence of Zhao Ziying, and Suqian and Siyang, although they also know that Zhao Ziying is powerful, but they have not dealt with anything, this time it is just an opportunity.

Zhao Jin did not enter the county seat, but just set up a banquet in the Yunshan Inn on the bank of the canal, and invited the gentry and local tyrants from Suqian to come over for the banquet.

However, the banquet itself is nothing unusual, Zhao Ziying is not ready to put too much effort here, but only arranges six hundred regiments to practice guarding the inn here, and then the county's private salt trading is also handed over to the local agent, and it is also promised that Suqian merchants will be taken care of when they go to Xuzhou and Qingjiangpu, and the banquet and harmony are all happy.

Walking all the way, chatting all the way, although I was nervous when I came out, I was very leisurely on the road, I was not in a hurry, I was not in a hurry, but it was not so simple.

Starting from Xuzhou Hejiazhuang, in fact, you can find a place to provide accommodation every day, from Xuzhou to Qingjiangpu line, Yunshan Inn is on the node of a day's journey, even if there is no Yunshan Inn along the way, the rich and powerful will rush to entertain, but this time there is no use.

When the team of hundreds of people came out, they brought a cart of cattle and horses, which was full of supplies and equipment, and every night, even if they lived on the edge of the Yunshan Inn, they had to camp and cook by themselves, which was obviously the safest place, and they also used the cart to form a formation, and the cattle and horses were placed on the inside, and the ditch was dug outside, and the light and dark sentinels were arranged, and the guards were heavily guarded.

At the beginning, even all parties in Xuzhou were taken aback, thinking that what was the big deal about this? Or who wants to be unfavorable to Jinye? Later, I realized that this was a drill, but I thought it was unusual, and I did this drill for no reason, and I didn't hear that it was coming over there, and Xuzhou's own ground also looked very peaceful.

The people of Xuzhou still see it this way, some people in Pizhou and Suqian think that this is a big fuss, and some people think that Zhao Jin is childlike and deliberately puts on a posture to toss his subordinates

Only everyone in the escort team knows that Zhao Jin is serious, there are skilled hands in the team, but there are more new hands, they don't know how to set up tents, and they don't know how to set up camps, everyone has to learn, everyone has to do it, everyone has to know, and the military law that is wrong is handled.

Zhao Jin and their team crossed the border from Suqian, they must cross the canal, this section of the canal and the Yellow River coincide, the river is very wide, the team of nearly 1,000 people, and there are so many carts of materials, it must be a big trouble when crossing the river, and they must mobilize local young people to help, flattering this is what it should be, but there is nothing to say, everyone is talking in their hearts that they are not careful about things, and they began to mobilize manpower.

When I didn't want to cross the river, I didn't need their help at all, usually those Cao Ding people on the river with their nostrils facing the sky had already heard the Cao boat waiting on the shore, although it was troublesome to get on the boat immediately, but there were many big boats that could not stand up, and the movements were very crisp and neat, seeing that the Cao Shang forces nodded so respectfully, Suqian looked at the strength of Zhao Ziying again.
