Volume 1 Xiao Yuanba Chapter 198 Jin Xianguang Returns to War
Hearing this voice, Grandma Shu and Cui Shi turned around together, and saw that it was a young inspector with a beard on his chin, wearing standard leather armor, and only his arm was marked with three folded lines.
"Greetings to the sir." Lin Zifu hurriedly stepped forward and clasped his fists and said:
"These two are An Ren's mother and aunt who know Master Li, and they are also Li Sanlang's aunts. We heard that the fighting in Yugan had subsided, so we returned to our hometown to help the villagers restore their homes and build mulberry trees."
These eight words are written on the wall of the ticket exit of the dock, and as soon as they got off the boat, they were seen by everyone, Lin Zifu was smart, and he used it ready-made, and sure enough, there was a little more smile on the face of the Chen inspector.
"Welcome, welcome, Master Li and the eldest prince resolutely stayed with the people during the war, and we also admire them.
Please wait, ladies, I have already called a carriage for you, and the luggage will be immediately sent to your mansion after being inspected by someone through customs, please leave two or three family members to assist, and the ladies will be able to enter the city first when the carriage arrives and they get the entry permit."
As soon as Inspector Chen finished speaking, he saw two four-wheeled two-bridled carriages "rumbling" along the gravel road. The driver and driver in the front seat were dressed in gray cloth and wore hats on their heads.
As soon as the rider pulled the reins with both hands and shouted, "Phew", the two horses with bird feathers on their foreheads stood firmly, and then the rider reached out and pulled down a pole on the side of the seat, and with a "squeak" the whole car shook and stopped in place.
Li Qin in the back said in surprise, "This car has a brake?"
"Yo, the little boy is so knowledgeable, he actually knows the brake brake?" The rider laughed. At this time, the coachman jumped down from it first, and instructed Lin Zifu and others to put the small luggage they were carrying into a small door behind the carriage.
"This is Li Sanlang's aunt's family, you have to be careful!" Chen said the inspection.
"Oh, that's no wonder, rude, rude!" The driver hurriedly bowed down on the saddle of the carriage, and lifted the brim of the hat with his fingers: "Madame, don't worry, the little one will definitely go fast and steady, let you see how good the carriage is from home!"
Grandma Shu was puzzled, and looked at Chen Xunjian, who immediately stepped forward and explained softly with a smile, "Half of the shares of our Yugan Carriage Company belong to the Li family, so he said so."
Grandma Shu was happy when she heard this, and glanced back at Cui's. At this time, the coachman opened the door and invited them to get on the bus, and Grandma Shu looked at it, and there were two rows of seats inside, with cowhide cushions.
The coachman asked her to sit in the main seat, with Cui Shi on one side and Li Qin on the other side.
Inspector Chen came over and told the fourth young master that he could take off the sword at his waist and hang it on the hook of the compartment board, so that he could sit more comfortably.
The three big girls sat opposite, and the driver closed the door, closed the handbrake, and returned to the seat next to the driver in front. Then the people outside shouted, and the car "creaked", shook slightly, and began to walk.
Li Qin sensed Shu's nervousness and said with a smile, "Mother doesn't have to be too nervous, you see how fast and steady it goes. You can't go wrong with what the third brother made!" Look at the book
"You know what Saburo did at this time? How do you know what brakes are?" Choi was curious.
"When the third brother and the Chen family Saburo were discussing making a carriage, I saw him drawing a picture next to me.
He said that he wanted to install brake pads, made of wood or leather, and when he needed to stop, he pulled the handbrake brake and pressed it against the wheel, and the wheel was blocked from turning, and the car stopped." Li Qin said with some pride.
Nanguan was full of new military camps, and a bold maid asked the coachman, only to know that a large number of officers and soldiers from Poyang were going south, and this was prepared by the county for them to camp. The two of them were overjoyed.
All the way to the south gate, I found that the people on both sides were busy, and everyone was happy, not knowing what they were happy about. Li Qin noticed something strange first, and when he looked at the road from the car door, he made a "huh" sound.
"What?" Cui Shi hurriedly asked.
"Mother, auntie, don't you think this car is not bumpy along the way? It was as if there were no stones underneath. I just looked at it, and there really isn't, it's all sand!" Li Qin said.
"No wonder, I don't know what's the mystery of this?"
Grandma Shu smiled bitterly: "After being away for a few months, why is it like walking for a few years, and when you come back, you don't even know where you live?"
The car stopped at the door, and immediately Lin Zifu got down from the car behind to call the door, and the surprised left-behind family members immediately ran out, and someone hurriedly went to the inner house to inform the young grandmother.
The coachman had already come down, trotted to the door, opened the hitch, and lowered the stairs. The maids came down first, and then helped the owners out of the car one after another.
"Amitabha, I'm finally home! I didn't expect it to be so fast. We boarded the boat from Hongdu this morning, and now we are standing at the door of our house, it's unbelievable, so fast!" Grandma Shu patted her chest and said.
"Sister, isn't it a bit like a dream?" Aunt Cui said jokingly.
As she was talking, the eldest and youngest grandmother Wang appeared at the gate with the support of the maids: "Mother, aunt, fourth uncle, why did you come back? Why don't you send someone to say it first?" She asked, surprised and delighted.
"Eh, why did you get out? Go back! How can you see people like this? If I get angry, that's my sin!" Grandma Shu hurriedly called someone to wait for her to go back to the house, saying:
"What do we have when we go back to our own home, why do we need to mobilize people if we are not outsiders? I will call the steward to settle you, and I will not labor you." As he spoke, he turned back to Lin Zifu and asked him to tell everyone to return to their places in their respective houses, and asked, "Is the carriage still there?"
"I'm still there, waiting to finish unloading my luggage and settle the bill before leaving. What does Grandma command?" Lin Zifu asked.
Grandma Shu was standing in the courtyard and was about to speak, when she saw Li Qin jumping in: "Mother, I've asked clearly!"
"What are you asking?"
"The coachman said that after the war, the migrant workers didn't have much work to do, so the third brother gave the county an idea to change the pavement of several main streets, and below were pebbles taken out of the river, from large to small, and then three layers of river sand were laid on the top, from thick to fine, so the car walked on it without the bumps of the stone road."
The little guy asks clearly, and he speaks clearly. Shu Shi was very happy.
Aunt Cui said softly: "Sister, San Lang wants to build a road, from Poyang and Yugan to Yingtan in Anren, and it is said that bonds will be issued, if it is such a road, who would not want to take it? This bond must have appreciated!"
"Well, when the master comes back, let's ask, he should know more about that committee than we do."
Before the words fell, I heard a commotion on the street, the sound from far to near, and it became louder and louder, which made Grandma Shu and Aunt Cui change their faces. "My mother, it can't be that we just came back and the thieves are here again, right?"
"No, no," a left-behind servant hurriedly smiled and comforted, "What if a thief comes? There are still Yang Qianhu in this city!"
"Yang Qianhu?"
"Oh, it's the Yang Baihu who was originally in distress and was taken in by San Lang, he has been promoted to a thousand households for his meritorious service in defending the city, and he is now the garrison of the city." After the little maid finished the introduction, he said, "The two grandmothers will wait a while, and the villain will go outside the door to see what is going on."
After speaking, he turned around and ran to the street, and when he saw people everywhere in high spirits, he first put his mind at ease, and then grabbed someone and asked, "Tang Hulu, why are you so happy?"
"You don't know?" The Tang gourd turned his eyes and said, "Yo, Xiao Qi, congratulations, congratulations!"
"Uh, Tongxi." Xiao Qi was inexplicable: "It's just this happy ......?"
"You really don't know?" Tang Hulu grinned: "Gu Da led the regimental training temporary brigade to recover Jinxian last night, and the bandits who came have been completely wiped out. The fast horse who reported the victory just now shouted all the way into the county office, you say this is not a great joy?"
However, in fact, Jinxian's battle was not as smooth and hearty as the people thought.
The south bank of the Xinjiang River has two major characteristics: the terrain is broken and the rivers and marshes are all over the place. The so-called terrain fragmentation refers to the fact that it does not have complete mountains, hills, or plains, but is all small and small, interspersed with each other.
Then, due to the need for drainage of the water system, a dense array of rivers, swamps, and various water pools, ponds, and lakes were formed. From Qinglan Lake, Junshan Lake, Hongyuan Lake to Yangfang Lake, Yaogang Lake, Chenjia Lake, ......, there are so many that outsiders can't remember them.
This is also one of the reasons why Ichika hesitated and didn't continue to attack after beating Jinxian, because it was all kinds of water all around, let
This man from the southern mountains was a little confused, and he couldn't find the direction.
However, it would be much better if there were locals to help. When he was sleeping, someone handed him a pillow, and the leader of Huxi named Bai Yan sent someone to contact, saying that he had 5,000 people under his command and could send troops to help, on the condition that he would help him dry the leaves of Qinglan Lake, and he would be the master of Qinglan Lake.
These lake bandits, their eyes can't leave the surface of the water, and they are all typical frogs at the bottom of the well! Lian Daxiang thought so, he could see from Tatehuazi that these people couldn't make a big deal.
Although I can't look at it, after all, there are 5,000 pairs of hands. If you can turn all the people upside down, not to mention anything else, it should be no problem to help defeat the remnants of the officers and soldiers in the west!
Lian Daxiang not only wants to win a Jinxian, he also wants to get the Tieguanfang in his hands and persuade Luohan Zhai to return to obedience, so that he can have complete strength to gain a foothold in the south of Hongdu. As for whether it can further threaten Nanchang County, it depends on the opportunity.
Yang Xing's order to himself was to occupy Jinxian and get in touch with the heroes in the lake, and it was best to let the whole of Huxi surrender, so as to firmly see all the officers and soldiers of Nanchang Mansion to death, so that they could not move.
Kazuka is a smart one, he has his own brain. It is enough adventure to go north with 2,000 subordinates, and if you take them to Nanchang Mansion to hang under the nose again, it is tantamount to a thin man shouting in front of a strong man: "You come, you kill me!" He didn't want to "do that."
To carry out Yang Xing's orders, but some clever methods are needed. For example, if you get Li Du's Tieguanfang and organize the prisoners and apprentices, you should be able to get about 1,500 people.
For example, to persuade Luohan Zhai to return to obedience, it is impossible to say that he has another 1,500 people, so that he can train 5,000 strong soldiers. Even if the official army comes to suppress it, it will be worth fighting with this number.
Lian Daxiang grew up in an ironmaking factory and has long been familiar with the art of ironmaking. With this ability, he believed that any ironworker could believe him, and he had such self-confidence.
But on the other hand, this well-known stick of incense has a slight inferiority complex in his heart. Lian Daxiang has never met his parents, he grew up with a family, and since he was a child, he called the owner of the family uncle, and his surname is with the owner of this family.
But the "aunt" was very bad to him, even if the uncle was gentle with her, she would scold and scold for a long time. At the age of ten, Lian Daxiang was urged by his aunt to be sent to be an apprentice.
When he was fifteen years old, the master and his brother were killed in battle with the army in the war of preparation for the Japanese, and Lian Daxiang fought with a forging hammer in one hand, which turned the official army into victory. The surprised Wei Sho Qianzong took him in, and Lian Daxiang became an iron craftsman in Quanzhou Chongwu and began to eat official meals.
A few years ago, there was an armed fight over a land dispute at Chongwusho, and while trying to persuade reconciliation, Senhe was coerced by angry soldiers of the two factions and died unexpectedly.
Lian Daxiang was furious when he heard the news, and rushed into the crowd of weapons in order to repay the kindness of thousands of households, and as a result, 27 people, including one hundred households and two sentinels, were killed and more than 30 were injured. The fight was suppressed, but Lian Daxiang was arrested because both sides jointly accused him of instigating and killing people.
Fortunately, the garrison above was not completely confused, and after trying the case, Lian Daxiang was only sent to the mine to serve ten years of labor on the grounds that the excessive means of assisting in quelling the rebellion had led to casualties, but he was not wronged too much.
It's a pity that this Lian Daxiang met Yang He in the mine, and soon became a cronie, and made a lot of efforts when the Yang family raised troops. Yang He's defeat in Pucheng was Lian Daxiang's assistance to Yang Xing's break.
Not only did they not suffer defeat again, but they designed counter-killings several times, forcing the officers and soldiers to stop the pace of pursuit. This credit
It should be said that this person is not only a martial artist, but also has some wisdom, but unfortunately he is not very literate, and he has always been a little unable to raise his head in front of Feng Zicai, Yan Yan and Wang Zhen, who are also the "Four Heavenly Kings" under Yang He, and they are often laughed at in private.
Because of this, he is more willing to work under Yang Xing, who has more common topics. But in recent times he has noticed some changes.
One after another, his subordinates found that some people had defected to the government, and these people had defected to Meigang, and it was obvious that there were people on the road to pick them up, and Yang Xing was very dissatisfied with this.
Lian Daxiang is also difficult to argue, but a sin that is not strictly controlled cannot be escaped.
So Yang Xing asked him to take 2,000 people to the north to enter the Xian, nominally to drag down the officials and soldiers of Nanchang Mansion, but he could see it
The two thousand uneven "elites", Lian Daxiang pulled out the cold in his heart.
A group of untrained and unrestrained strong men are just sturdy and fierce people, but what's the use of being on the battlefield?
So he led the team to set off and walked to the bottom of the sand ridge, and found an open place where it was convenient to leave, and he had to train the troops first! After ten days of vicious training and beheading more than 60 people, Lian Daxiang felt more relieved and continued to move forward with the team.
This is the reason why Yang Xing wondered why there was no news after Yizhihua set off. However, although the training lasted for ten days, it only allowed these people to learn to obey orders, listen to gongs and drums, and read flags.
Lian Daxiang himself has this self-knowledge, so the team went to Jinxian City to wave the flag and shout but did not really attack the city, he took the team to the west with a false shot to Maoerling, where he lurked.
The rest of the story is known, on the first day that Jinxian relaxed his vigilance and opened the city gate, more than 20 outlaws he picked out pretended to be monks, Taoist priests, porters and other characters, mixed into the city from different gates, and then gathered in the south city.
He himself led the whole army to attack outside the south gate overnight, and organized 300 good men to enter the city, but the internal and external attacks really took the south gate. But although the city was broken, he himself suffered three hundred casualties, and the price was not small.
Lian Daxiang's people who fought old battles naturally knew that the poor were not chasing, and they were reluctant to defend the city with their own strength, so how could they risk chasing again?
So he took back everyone and cowered in the city, and even the big families who fled for their lives out of the north gate just watched them flee.
Next, he stepped up his efforts to contact those places in Huxi and sent people to Luohan Village to surrender, and he also sent people to check on Li Du's Tieguanfang, but he was not in a hurry to intervene, because he was still more confident in persuading these people. However, he never expected that the remaining cadres in Fenggang in the east would come so quickly!
Looking back after being captured, he felt that he had been too eager for quick success.
It was also because he was really not sure about the less than 2,000 rabble guarding Jinxian, so when he heard that the big white geese in Huxi were willing to surrender, and after killing Ye Zifeng, he joined forces with himself to attack Buffalo Ridge, and Ye Zifeng's family wealth was divided into half on both sides.
can not only join forces to fight the remnants of the officers and soldiers, but also make these guys who have been suffocated by their own restraints get some sweetness through robbery, no matter how much Lian Daxiang thinks about it, this deal is not bad.
So he gathered a thousand men and went to the appointment. I didn't think that the bandits and the officers and soldiers were not the same family, but it couldn't be said that the bandits and the regimental training couldn't hook up. They attacked Ye Zifeng's camp, the camp was empty, and then Ye Zifeng and the regiment trained ambushes in all directions.
Lian Daxiang retreated while fighting, and was encountering the big white goose that "came to answer", but was dragged to the ground by the other party with a fishing net.
The Jinxian battalion, who was familiar with the situation, led the way, and the Jinxian defenders, who were only 500 people left and had lost their commander, could not resist no matter what.
The regimental training under the command of Liu Hongsheng was not left in vain, they trained day and night in the hands of Yang Dayi, especially the ability to climb the city wall with a hook that Li Dan had already admired.
The thief Jiang Bin has never been caught, but his skills are very useful.
Liu Hongsheng's skills are not very clever, but he is scheming, he learns everything quickly, Li Dan and Yang Dayi said what they meant, he wants Liu Hongsheng to become a special force with unique skills, but they must start learning from winning battles.
The attack on Jinxian was a trial, and as a result, it took Liu Hongsheng to open the city gate in less than half a quarter of an hour, which was even shorter than the time it took for Lian Daxiang to cooperate inside and outside the last time.
In addition to the troops in the county seat, the Jiangshan Army that occupied Jinxian also had an officer army stationed in Zhanggong Town to defend the direction of Buffalo Ridge.
The official army got the news sent by Yu Liang (fish belly), and the hundred households thought it was fake news. Who knew that after hearing about the victory of Qinglan Lake, he hurriedly ordered his troops and horses to rush to Zhanggong Town, and the other party was caught off guard and was defeated.
The officers and soldiers chased to Maoerling and happened to meet the troops led by Gu Da. Dong Hou wrapped up the remnants of the enemy army. Gu Da politely asked the officers and soldiers to receive Jinxian, and informed the other party that the task of the regimental training was to go south to Fuzhou, and as for recovering Jinxian, it should be the official army's work to do.
The hundred households were overjoyed, and after thanking them, they led the troops to Jinxian. Gu Da led the temporary brigade to the south of the Fuhe River and met at the water camp of Li Du and Zhou Qin.
