Chapter 148: Fengyang Ningguta
Anhui, Fengyang!
The prefect Li Liang had just finished eating, and he was picking his teeth with a toothpick in his yamen, humming a little song complacently, and suddenly reported: The prefect of Chizhou and the prefect of Luzhou come to worship!
"Two prefects? I don't know them, why did they come to me? Li Liang gritted his toothpick and asked his personal follower and "dog-headed little military advisor", dog!
"How do I know? Master, I've always followed you, you don't know me, and I naturally don't know either......" The dog was fighting against Li Scale's remaining half of the roast chicken, waving his two oily hands and said.
"You useless thing, eat less, beware of supporting ......" waved his hand and knocked the dog's head with a toothpick, Li Liang shouted again: "Go and go, let those two prefects go to the living room first, and then go and invite the master quickly, damn, if you want to see someone, you can't even know your name, right?" In that case, wouldn't Lao Tzu be a dead person! ……”
"Got ......it," picked up the half of the fat chicken, and the dog said as he walked outside: "Master, actually, what are you afraid of?" Anyway, it's not the first time you've been embarrassed, the last time you ran to the Yamen of Zhentai and served the tea bowl indiscriminately, and as a result, you almost sent out Lord Shi Shilun Shi as a guest, and now the whole Anhui Province knows about it...... It's nothing to lose someone again! ”
"You little rabbit, if you talk nonsense, I'll let you nibble on sweet potatoes tomorrow!" Throwing the toothpick at the dog, Li Liang shouted.
"Then I'll roast the sweet potato and eat it, hehehe......" The dog giggled and ran away!
……
"Fuzun, the name of the prefect of Chizhou is Chen Yigang, the word Changquan, our Tianchang County from Fengyang Mansion; Zhang Chunxiu, the prefect of Luzhou, the word Zimin, the number is Jianyang, and the number is Jingzhai, and he is a person from Zhili. Both of them are at the same level as you, however, that Zhang Chunxiu is a banner man, and he belongs to the white flag of the Han army, so when you see him later, don't be too casual...... "Li Liang is rich, so the master invited is from an authentic Shaoxing hard brand, named Huang Gongde."
"What's wrong with the flag man? Remarkable? …… Master Huang, you say, what are they coming to me for? Li Yan pursed his lips disdainfully, and asked Huang Gongde again.
"Lord Fuzun, these two people haven't had anything to do with us, and the villain doesn't quite know why they came...... Probably a few can guess, though! Huang Gongde thought for a moment and said.
"If you can guess, then say it......" Li Liang urged.
"Lord Fuzun, isn't this because you have a cousin of the Champion Gong?" Huang Gongde replied.
"You say my cousin Li Pan? Isn't that right...... My cousin is still working as his editor in the Hanlin Academy, a big official, he has no interest, and he shouldn't donate another one to him! Li Yan said disdainfully.
“…… Donor? My lord, when did you hear about the Champion Minister? You can figure it out! Huang Gongde smiled bitterly.
"Why not? The court didn't say that the champion can't donate officials! Li Lan said disapprerovingly.
"Indeed, if Duke Zhuangyuan also donates officials, there will be nowhere to put the face of our court, and when the time comes, you and Lord Li Pan don't want to have a good life! ......" Huang Gongde said with a smile.
"Alright, alright, let's not talk about this, these two people won't come to me specifically for my cousin, will they?" Li Liang asked again.
"My lord, do you really not understand, or are you pretending to be confused? Does this need to be asked? ......" Huang Gongde was a little unhappy.
"Of course I really don't understand, otherwise, why should I look for you?" Looking at Huang Gongde's expression, Li Yan replied puzzled.
"Didn't you read the imperial court's newspaper?" Huang Gongde knew the reason as soon as he finished speaking, Li Lian, this guy, didn't know a lot of words, so he never had the habit of reading Di Bao. Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, he heard Li Liang reply: "I have been wandering around the counties a few days ago, and I am so busy that I can't even eat a meal, how can I have time to read which Zidi newspaper?" Besides, I don't know a few words......"
"Fuzun, have you heard of the new governor sent by the imperial court to our Anhui?" Huang Gongde asked again.
"I don't know!" Li Liang replied very simply.
"My lord, the new governor is Lord Madema, the master of your cousin Li Pan Li!" Huang Gongde shook his head with a wry smile.
"......" Li Liang was stunned for a moment, and then, he jumped up and ran straight towards the living room!
*******
Jilin!
Nian Qianyao felt that the road from Jinzhou to Ningguta was much farther than the road from Nanjing to Beijing! Although the weather began to warm up not long after leaving Jinzhou, as soon as the snow melted, the northern climate was still cold, the roads were muddy, and there were no avenues, making the road even more difficult.
"General Nian, according to the map, this should have arrived at Ningguta, why haven't you seen a figure yet?" Murcha took the map and approached Nian Qianyao and asked. Because he had a "secret talk" with Yu Zhong for a while when he was in Jinzhou, he had already become the leading figure in the team among the Manchurian generals, and by the way, he also became the spokesperson of these guys, and even Nian Qianyao was more polite to him along the way. Of course, there is also a reason why he is more disciplined...... Although Yu Zhong left the sword above to Nian Qianyao and let those full-man soldiers be honest for a while, the arduous march finally caused these people to clash with Nian Qianyao again. As a result, Nian Qianyao asked for the sword above to behead three people in a row, and detained seven people to be beheaded, proving the accuracy of the "rumors" left by Yu Zhong with practical actions, and forcibly suppressed the commotion. In the end, because Murcha was more obedient to military discipline and his relationship with Yu Zhong, he was pushed out to intercede with Nian Qianyao and make peace, and rescued the seven ignorant guys, so that the team could continue to march smoothly.
"Manchuria is already sparsely populated, and I heard that the territory of Ningguta is not small, but there are only a few thousand people in it, so it is appropriate not to see people......" Nian Qianyao looked at the surrounding environment and replied casually.
"Do you want to send someone to report the letter first? Let Ningguta send someone to pick it up. Yue Zhongqi asked next to him again.
"Hmmm! …… Just go and report the letter, forget if you can't answer it! It's not that we don't have legs, can't we walk? Nian Qianyao looked back at the soldiers who followed behind, these people were all exhausted and out of breath, except for his three hundred soldiers and horses, the others, even the dozen or so generals with horses and horses, also looked listless, which made him frown couldn't help frowning. Murcha, who was next to him, also happened to see his small movements, and hurriedly said:
"General Nian, we have been rushing for almost sixty miles today, and everyone is really tired......
"I know!" Nian Qianyao turned his head forward and said, "The order for the whole army is to rest!" General Mu, you take two people along the way to Ningguta, go and tell them first, and say that we have arrived! What misunderstanding was saved......"
"Wow!" Murcha answered, went to the team, ordered two generals who were in good spirits, and rode away.
"Someone!" As soon as Murcha left, Nian Qianyao suddenly shouted at his own soldiers.
"General!"
"Take someone to explore the surroundings and see if there are any suspicious people or objects...... Nian Qianyao ordered.
"Wow!" The pro-soldiers received the order, and immediately went to Nian Qianyao's headquarters and ordered more than a dozen people out of the team and scattered around.
……
"General, let's come to Ningguta, the people here should have known for a long time, and when they see our team, they should understand who is commenting, how can there be any misunderstanding?" Yue Zhongqi listened to Nian Qianyao's words beside him, and saw Nian Qianyao's subsequent action of sending scouts, and felt puzzled.
"Brother Yue, this Ningguta is no better than other places! People here are not simple......" Nian Qianyao showed a wry smile on his face.
"General, the last general doesn't quite understand! …… You've always been straightforward, why are you spitting this time? Yue Zhongqi saw that Nian Qianyao still had something to say, and couldn't help but ask with some curiosity. It must be unusual for Nian Qianyao to have such an abnormal performance! He thought to himself.
"Brother Yue, you're worried too much, but it's actually nothing. I heard that some pirates wanted to attack Ningguta last year, and some of them actually wore black wigs and pretended to be from our Qing Dynasty. Therefore, I sent people to take a look around, but in fact, I was only afraid that the people of Ningguta would be bitten by snakes once, and they would be afraid of the well rope for ten years! ......," Nian Qianyao replied.
"I see! ......" Yue Zhongqi didn't ask any further. Although he saw that Nian Qianyao's words were just shirking, since people were unwilling to say it, of course he couldn't ask any more. I had to bury my doubts in my heart.
……
"Although Ma De is gone, that Luo Xin seems to be still here! …… Ningguta is their territory, and they run it like an iron bucket, and all the people are dominated by them. If it weren't for that, the emperor wouldn't be in a hurry to transfer him to Guannai as a governor. However, the new Ningguta Governor Sha Erhuda also has a lot to do with Ma De, and there is such a big enmity between me and them, how can I be careless? That Luo Xin is so bold, who knows what she will do! Nian Qianyao seemed to have returned to the outside of Fengtian City that day, and saw the scene of Luo Xin showing his might in front of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command! He could still clearly remember the murderous intent in the eyes of the woman at that time, if it wasn't for the fact that Yu Zhong was not in a big deal at that time, he knew that he would definitely have died in Huangquan at this moment.
"You'd better not go too far this time, otherwise, I'm not easy to mess with!" Nian Qianyao's eyes looked ahead, and he didn't feel embarrassed at all because he was an opponent of a woman!
