Hot corn porridge and thick corn tortillas, although there is no broth, but in the mouths of the people who have eaten the bark of grass roots for several days, it is so sweet, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a unique taste in the world, when people are hungry, as long as it is food, it is the absolute taste of the world.

The people descended the mountain little by little, looking at the people who were gradually besieging the bandits below, and the eunuch slowly emerged from behind the big stones.

Seeing that these bandits were really helping the victims, I couldn't help but be amazed: "Everyone is short of food these days, but I didn't expect that the people who are the least short of food are bandits."

As he spoke, the eunuch saw Lu Xiangsheng, who was sitting behind the big stone, leaning on the big stone and closing his eyes to recuperate, and paced over with his waist bent.

"Lord Lu."

called Lu Xiangsheng, Lu Xiangsheng's eyes opened, looked at the eunuch and said, "Oh, what's the matter?"

"It's time for us to hit the road."

Lu Xiangsheng heard this and said, "Okay, let's go."

Lu Xiangsheng did not hesitate this time, but directly agreed, the Cangshan bandits intervened in this matter, this group of people can be regarded as having a way to live, and the obsession in Lu Xiangsheng's heart has disappeared, so he does not resist and follow the edict to return to the capital.

He felt that it was time for him to finish the last leg of his life.

His life: hard study of the cold window for more than ten years, once the title of the gold list, Huaicai did not meet the Hanlin Academy, the new emperor ascended the throne to show his talents, first for a place of parents and officials, to help the people of the people, heard that Jiannu Kou closed the door, waved troops to besiege BJ City, self-raised army horses Beiqin Huang, victory or sealing the soldiers, and after a few years of border passes, plugged a war prestige, and heard that there were thieves in the northwest, since the nominal army bravely broke into the king, united Sun Hong to destroy the thieves, and then made new contributions to hear the death of his father, for his father Ding to worry about three years, Jiannu came to sweep the Central Plains again, the emperor ordered himself to block the Tartars, and the prestige of Shandong was raised, The enemy chieftain was heartbroken and crazy, grabbed me 100,000 Han Jialang, led the army to attack the north in a rage, and the emperor's order dared to carry it, lost thousands of soldiers in the first battle, and the pain in his heart was difficult to express himself, and he had to be called north by the holy decree, and he knew that his life was difficult to protect, and he had no regrets in his heart.

Lu Xiangsheng recalled his life, maybe this is also very good, as for his own merits and losses, his descendants commented, thinking that Lu Xiangsheng said to the public: "Then let's go."

The eunuch nodded, and then said, "Lord Lu still wants to wronged you."

After saying this, the eunuch was instructed to give Jinyiwei a look, and soon Jinyiwei took out a big shackle, Lu Xiangsheng looked at the shackles and stretched out his arm very calmly, ready to be locked.

At this time, the eunuch also bowed his head and said, "Offended, lock!"

Hearing this, Jinyiwei was about to put on the shackles, but at this moment, he heard a voice: "Dare, whoever dares to lock Lu Xiangsheng Master Lu will not be able to get along with my Cangshan King Batian."

Hearing this, Jinyiwei was stunned for a moment, and saw that the bandit Wang Batian, who had just been applauded just now, was carrying a huge machete, followed by fifty or sixty bandits with steel knives in their hands, and the bandits with firearms surrounded him, and surrounded Jinyiwei at once, and the eunuch couldn't help but tremble when he saw this, and hid behind Lu Xiangsheng the next moment.

At this time, the person in charge of the Jinyi Guard, the person in charge of the Jinyi Guard, stood up, looked at Wang Batian and shouted: "The Jinyi Guard is in charge, idlers dodge, don't meddle in things." ….

Hearing this, the bandit Wang Batian directly took out a short firearm from the waistband of his trousers, and a firearm hit the left arm of Jinyi Wei Baihu, Jinyi Wei Baihu screamed in pain, and the rest of Jinyi Wei was just about to make a move, when he saw that the group of bandits had already taken out a bunch of fire guns and faced them.

"If you don't want to be beaten into a sieve, don't move."

Looking at the muzzles of these black holes, the Jinyi guards all stopped and didn't dare to move, they were ordered to act, and they would open two taels of silver a month, and they couldn't do it desperately.

At this time, the bandit king Batian once again loaded his short fire gun with bullets, and then took the short fire gun and aimed it at the head of Jinyi Wei Baihu, and a trace of cruelty appeared on his face and said: "Jin Yiwei, hehehe, when you were still Wei Zhongxian, you were a piece of stinky shit now, and you couldn't get on the stage."

Jinyi Wei Baihu was suppressed, and a trace of panic appeared on his face, but he suppressed his fear and said, "Wang Batian, you can think clearly, if something happens to us, don't think about it anymore, you bandits.

」

Wang Batian laughed and said, "Are you scaring your father? As long as Lao Tzu slaughters all of you, who knows that it will be my golden-eyed Biao Wang Batian, give you a chance, call Dad, otherwise I will collapse you."

"Don't deceive people too much."

Jinyi Wei Baihu was furious, and Wang Batian said with a smile: "Three numbers, if you don't call me, shoot me and blow your head into a rotten watermelon, one, two, three!"

"Daddy."

"Stop."

As soon as Wang Batian's three words came out, he heard Jinyi Wei Baihu and Lu Xiangsheng talking almost at the same time, Wang Batian stopped at this time, looked at Jinyi Wei Baihu lying on the ground, and then looked at Lu Xiangsheng, then Wang Batian smiled and said: "Lord Lu, this kid wants to put you in a flail, I will teach him a lesson for you."

When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he said, "They are all acting according to orders, don't be embarrassed."

Wang Batian said: "Okay, Lord Lu, our brother has heard about it on the mountain, you are a man, with the brother of the Tianxiong Army, all the way north, killed a lot of ***, and also rescued a lot of people, the hungry king Batian admired, and the hungry men on the mountain also admired Lord Lu's personality, this time I came to invite Lord Lu to go up the mountain and fall into the grass, I don't know what Lord Lu wants."

Hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng looked at Wang Batian and said, "Oh, pull me up the mountain and down to the grass, is it the meaning of your king?"

Wang Batian was stunned for a moment and said, "Hunger is the king."

Lu Xiangsheng laughed and said, "Oh, that's okay, the king's kindness Lu has received it, but Lu will forgive him if he goes up the mountain and falls into the grass, and please don't embarrass these brocade guards, let us enter Beijing."

Hearing this, Wang Batian said: "I heard that the emperor Lao'er is going to unite with the three law divisions to interrogate you because of your disobedience to the decree, and you will inevitably end up in a different place at that time, a good man still has a good future, how can he be ruined here, Lord Lu should keep his useful body and do more good things for the people of the world."

Lu Xiangsheng shook his head when he heard this: "Lu is a dead brain, he only knows how to be loyal to the monarch and serve the country, if His Majesty wants Lu to die, Lu is willing to kill him, and he must have a beginning and an end to be a man, what does the king think?"

Hearing this, Wang Batian looked at Lu Xiangsheng, sighed and said, "That's it, since Lord Lu has made up his mind, I won't have to say anything, but before leaving, please drink a bowl of corn porridge, I will be hungry on the road." ….

After Wang Batian finished saying this, as soon as he stretched out his hand, someone immediately brought a bowl of warm polenta, Lu Xiangsheng looked at the polenta in the bowl and said, "Can it be the same as what the people under the mountain drink?"

Wang Batian said, "It's in a pot."

Lu Xiangsheng nodded, followed by a drink, and finally licked the bottom of the bowl without wasting food, and after eating, Lu Xiangsheng laughed: "Delicious, delicious, delicious in the world, hahaha......

After Lu Xiangsheng said this, he stretched out his hands and said, "Come, lock it up for me, let's go to Beijing."

When Jin Yiwei heard this, he saw Wang Batian's eyes glaring, and he was immediately frightened, and then the eunuch said, "My lord, whether this lock is locked or not is a formality, let's hurry up and get on the road."

Lu Xiangsheng didn't say anything when he heard this, turned around silently, and walked to the capital with a group of brocade guards, Wang Batian looked at Lu Xiangsheng's distant back and sighed, at this time a young bandit behind Wang Batian said: "Senior, should we show our identities directly, if we don't show our identities, he really thinks that we are bandits, so he naturally doesn't want to go with us."

[I have known an old book friend for ten years to recommend to me to chase books, @

Let's go."

Hearing this, Wang Batian sighed and said: "We just don't have the life of meritorious service, after crossing the border of Hebei, Lu Xiangsheng's matter will be handed over to the people in the capital, hey, okay, we can't swallow the elephant without people's hearts, these 40,000 disaster victims are also a great merit, turn around and send these people to Lantian safely, then we are also a great merit, and the military rank on our shoulders should also be mentioned."

Hearing this, everyone behind him laughed.

Hebei Cangshan bandits, golden-eyed Biao Wang Batian, there is indeed this number one, this number one person was actually a year ago, when there were suddenly five hundred more bandits speaking Shaanxi dialect here, these guys are well-organized, regular in action, and even more terrifying is that these guys are well equipped.

In addition to the weapons such as broadswords and spears, there are also firearms of better quality than the officers and soldiers, and the most excessive thing is that they also have ten small artillery, after they gained a foothold in Cangshan, they began to annex the small bandits around them, and slowly became a tyrant, and then the Hebei government wanted to exterminate them, and as a result, they sent several groups of people, all of whom were beaten to the ground.

In the end, the government had to pinch its nose and admit that these bandits could not be exterminated, and they would slowly grow stronger if they could not be extinguished, and this bandit soon grew to thousands of people, and these thousands of people were carefully selected, and the training was carried out according to the most regular regular army. ….

After occupying Cangshan, this gang of bandits did two things, the first was to rob the nearby convoy of wealthy merchants, especially the convoy of wealthy merchants who colluded with the court officials.

The second is to help the people of nearby villages from time to time, almost within a radius of 50 miles from Cangshan, as long as the people can't open the pot, they can go to Cangshan to borrow grain.

That's right, borrowed grain from the bandits, and the bandits didn't charge interest, so soon Cangshan became a hero in the eyes of the people, and the landlords in the village who put grain and engaged in usury, of course, quit, and tried to exterminate the Cangshan bandits several times, but most of them were uprooted by the Cangshan bandits.

The official caravan was robbed, and the local tyrants and inferior gentry were robbed, which suddenly moved the cake of the upper-class interest groups, so the local tyrants demanded that the government suppress the bandits, and the senior officials of the DPRK and the central government put pressure on the localities, so there were several large-scale bandits.

As a result, all of them returned in vain, and sometimes they suffered heavy losses, and the reason was very simple, the nearby villages within a radius of fifty miles were the eyes of the Cangshan bandits.

If there are too many people from the government, there will be villagers who will immediately go up the mountain to report the news, and then the Cangshan bandits will run away, and the army will be lonely, but if there are fewer people coming, or there are weak places, the Cangshan bandits will attack, and the officials and soldiers will be miserable.

I gave up after seven or eight times, I can't play, do you know, how much is the military money spent on this time to suppress bandits, and I have returned again and again in vain, how can this be done.

And the Cangshan bandits are not unreasonable, they directly offer conditions, and the caravans that go from this official road in the future can be unimpeded by paying a profit, so the bandits will be reconciled in the end.

The local government acquiesced in the existence of the Cangshan bandits, and the Cangshan bandits were also very particular about eating this layer of interest, and they didn't want any more.

Even the Cangshan bandits slowly bribed the local officials, and slowly the officials felt that the existence of the Cangshan bandits was very good, and even began to intentionally protect the Cangshan bandits, and finally the Cangshan bandits formed an industrial chain, which was associated with the local government, and the existence of the Cangshan bandits was more stable.

And everyone knows the name of the Cangshan bandit, but few people know the other name of the Cangshan bandit.

Hebei spy agency, Cangshan Special Operations Department.

That's right, the Cangshan bandits are actually a subordinate organization of the Hebei Secret Spy Division, and it is a violent organization, after all, although the Secret Spy Department is powerful, there are some things that are not easy to do clearly, but the Cangshan bandits can, so the secret spy department and the Cangshan bandits collude, and many things on the ground in Hebei are easy to do.

And this model is blossoming everywhere in the country, some places with bandits, some places with local associations, and some places with chambers of commerce, security teams.

Anyway, the secret spy department began to gradually form its own violent organs, of course, these violent organs were unified and managed by the Lantian Ministry of Public Security.

The Ministry of Public Security in Lantian is the agency in charge of Lantian and the non-military violence organs outside Lantian, and the main management in Lantian is to arrest fast, these institutions with police attributes.

Externally, there are special violent institutions such as the Cangshan bandits.

And the personnel selected by these institutions are generally selected from the Lantian militia, you must know that the military quality of the militia in Lantian is not lost to the Ming official army, of course, this official army refers to the Tianxiong army, Sun Chuanting Qin army and other armies.

And now that Lantian's big net has been spread out big enough, as long as Li Chaosheng is willing, he can even use these local institutions to create large-scale uprisings in the local area, and they are in full swing and cannot be extinguished.

On January 24, the twelfth year of Chongzhen, Lu Xiangsheng arrived in the capital.
