Chapter Seventy-Two: Going to Linjiang
Da Kui stood with his hands in his hands, looking at the vast water of Taihu Lake, "waves" and "waves", the rising sun reflected thousands of golden scales on the water surface of Taihu Lake, and the red clouds were leisurely grazing not far away, flicking their tails from time to time to drive away mosquitoes and flies.
More than ten zhang behind him, two hundred children lined up, each of them was black, 'colored', and wearing bracers, and the red silk on the handle of the three-foot long knife on his back moved with the wind.
Da Kui was waiting.Master Feng and the others should be coming back soon.Sure enough, after another moment, the horses' hooves rumbled vigorously on the official road in the distance.As if the trembling earth was still shaking.Da Kui turned around to look.I saw dozens of Ming cavalry driving the horses far away.Behind the horses, Master Feng and a general walked side by side.Getting closer.I saw the general who came with Master Feng riding his horse in the direction of Da Kui.The speed was slow but steady.
The general turned over and dismounted a few feet in front of Da Kui, abandoned the reins, walked forward, clasped his fists in front of Da Kui, and said, "Wu Liangda, the leader of the Thousand Households of Suzhou City Defense, has met with the political envoy Zhang."
Da Kui smiled and said, "General Wu is exempt from courtesy.
"Don't dare." Wu Liangda saw that the ceremony was over, and then took out a document from his bosom and continued: "Lord Zhang needs to draw and charge the military horses into the book.
Da Kui took the paperwork, unfolded it and looked at it, then held the paperwork in his left hand, put the index finger of his right hand in his mouth, bit the fingertip, and pressed the fingerprint on the bloodstains.
Wu Liangda couldn't help but ask in surprise when he saw Da Kui like this: "Master Zhang, why is this?"
Da Kui smiled and 'handed over' the paperwork to Wu Liangda, and then said with a smile: "This official's trip is to annihilate the old enemy.
Wu Liangda couldn't help asking: "Why don't you send a letter to the imperial court to mobilize troops and horses, so that everything can be guaranteed."
Da Kui smiled: "The soldier is very fast, if the news is leaked, I am afraid that I will regret it." Speaking of this, Da Kui looked at the hundreds of war horses not far away, and then said: "With these healthy horses and good horses, we are like a tiger with wings. Thank you General Wu." Wu Liangda was also inconvenient to ask more.
Da Kui summoned Master Feng.' Master Feng took the order to turn around and get on the horse and go back to Zhang's mansion.
Da Kui faced the 200 soldiers and said loudly: "Raising soldiers for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, you are waiting to serve the country at this time." Looking at the face of Zhang Surong in front of him, Da Kui continued: "This time you go to Linjiang, you need to use your life in battle, those who kill one enemy will be rewarded with ten taels of silver, those who capture and injure the enemy leader will be rewarded with one hundred taels of silver, and they will be recommended to the imperial court as officials."
As the saying goes: there must be a brave man under the heavy reward, and all the sons and soldiers have already jumped into the 'desire' to try the silver when they hear what Da Kui said.
Da Kui then ordered, "Serve the wine." As soon as the voice fell, Hong Wu, the dog left, the stone, the broom, the dustpan, and the bench, each holding the wine jar, carrying the basket, walked to the front of the team, distributed the wine bowl, and poured the wine.
Da Kui took the wine bowl handed over and said in a loud voice: "This trip is to cut off the remnants of the 'traitor' party in the Yuan Court, but also for the sake of the peace of the country and the people.
"Don't be afraid, not afraid, not afraid." More than 200 people roared in unison.
"it." Da Kui drank the wine in the bowl first, and the two hundred soldiers responded one after another.
'Bang' Da Kui dropped the wine bowl in his hand and shouted, "Get on the horse." More than 200 people turned around one after another, each of them picked a war horse, turned over, and each movement was neat and vigorous.
In the middle of summer, the heat in the south of the Yangtze River is unbearable, and the horses galloped, and more than 200 soldiers followed closely behind him. Although it was noon, these people had no intention of stopping and resting. More than 200 people brought 500 healthy horses.
Linjiang was called 'Shilong City' in ancient times.Tang Wude eight years (625).Began in Linjiang to build Xiaotan Town.Five dynasties in the Southern Tang Dynasty in the second year of the Yuan Dynasty (938) in Xiaotan Town to establish Qingjiang County.Song Chunhua three years to set Linjiang Army.Jurisdiction of Qingjiang, Xingan, Xinyu County.Yuan changed Linjiang Road.After Taizu ascended the throne, most of the place names in Jiangnan were changed.And this Linjiang Road was renamed Linjiang Fu.Fuzhi Qingjiang (in present-day Linjiang Town, Zhangshu City, Jiangxi Province).Jurisdiction of Qingjiang.Xingan (now Xingan County, Jiangxi Province).Xinyu (in present-day Yushui District, Xinyu City, Jiangxi Province) three counties.
Now the Ming Dynasty has listed Linjiang Mansion as one of the important trade and taxation towns.
The blood splash hall set up the general rudder in Linjiang Mansion.It can be said that it is quite visionary.This place is far away from Nanjing.It can be said that the emperor is far away.And it is a place where merchants and merchants are accessible.It can really be said that the gods do not know how to collect money here.
Da Kui ordered Hong Wu and Gou Yu to stay in Liuwa Village, twenty miles east of Linjiang Mansion, and everyone left their horses here, and then divided into several groups to disguise themselves into the city.
Da Kui and Panbu Meng Ge found a restaurant, went upstairs to find a window seat, ordered a table of wine and food, and chatted while eating.
The food and drinks here are affordable and not expensive.Da Kui paid the bill but asked the little two: "I don't know what fun places to go in this Linjiang Mansion."
Xiao Er took the money, and when he saw Da Kui asking like this, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "I don't know what the guest officer wants to play." Xiao Er asked this sentence, but before Da Kui could speak, he began to gush about it.What is the 'flower' market in the west of the city.Daqian Street.Fish market.......
Da Kui interrupted Xiao Er's words with a smile and said, "I can't wait to buy things, I just want to find a place to gamble." As he spoke, Da Kui took out a string of money from his arms and stuffed it into the little second-hand.
The shopkeeper Xiao Erbai got a string of money, and immediately said with his eyebrows flying, "Hey, guest officer, if you want to gamble, you can be regarded as finding the right person........
Da Kui saw that he was being long-winded again, so he smiled and said, "Which one is the biggest?"
Xiao Er stretched out his hand and pointed out the window: "No, the street in front of you turns left and goes straight, it doesn't take a hundred steps, there is a plane tree in front of the 'door' of the gambling house, and the gambling house is called the Sycamore Academy."
"Wutong Academy." Da Kui was a little surprised when he heard this, Xiao Er explained with a smile: "After Taizu ascended the throne, all state capitals have academies and schools. Saying that, Xiao Er looked around, and saw that no one was paying attention, so he whispered: "And Sister Yao."
When Da Kui heard this, he couldn't help but have a look of understanding on his face, and immediately said, "In that case, let's go have a play." Hahahaha." As he spoke, he stood up first and walked downstairs with Meng Ge.
The 'gate' of Wutong Academy is like a city, and the people who enter and leave all have expressions on their faces, either elated or depressed, and some look tired.
Da Kui arrived at the 'door' and took a look, only to see the pink wall and green tile 'door' and the building drooping 'flowers'. The flowers in the altar are particularly fragrant, and when I enter the courtyard door, I see that the courtyard is deep, the rockery is flowing and the spring is green, and the trees are like shade.
"Oh, three of you, please." The man in Tsing Yi came to the front and stretched out his hand to please.
Da Kui was dressed in gorgeous clothes, but Meng Ge and Panbu behind him were pretending to be servants.
Da Kui smiled, "We're here to play, I don't know what's fun."
The man in Tsing Yi led the way, and said as he walked: "If you want to play, you will naturally bet on the treasure. While speaking, the man in Tsing Yi has led the three of Da Kui to the front of a hall, the people in the hall are noisy, and the three of Da Kui enter the hall to see.
Da Kui couldn't help but be a little curious.Walked to a table and squeezed into the crowd to look in.It turned out that this table was betting on dice.This Da Kui knew.Three dice used dice to shake out the points.The sum is 11 points or less is small.12 points or more is big.Gamblers can bet on the big money and bet on the small.Whether you can win depends on your luck.
Da Kui walked out of the crowd and walked to another table, but before he could get to the front, he heard someone at the table he had just visited shouting, "I'm gambling with my life."
When Da Kui heard this, he immediately stopped.This gambler is still gambling for his life.Out of a moment of curiosity.Da Kui and Meng Ge stood in place and looked at the table.Just now someone shouted for a gamble, but I don't know if it's true or not.
But someone shouted this voice.The people who had been noisy and noisy suddenly quieted down.The other guests at the gaming table also looked here.But the silence only lasted for a moment.Then it began to be full of people.After all, watching the excitement is not as exciting as the stinging 'excitement' of gambling money.
Da Kui thought about it, and walked to the table where he had just left, and when he squeezed into the crowd, he immediately provoked a burst of abuse.
"Hey, what a squeeze."
"You're fucking blind, you're stepping on my feet."
Da Kui didn't pay attention to the foul language around him.It's just that the two people who just said foul language were grabbed by Meng Ge by the back of the neck and pulled out of the crowd.The two gamblers saw Meng Ge's fierce face.Can't help but accompany them continuously.Meng Ge saw that they were relieved.Only then did he let go.
Da Kui arrived at the table, only to see a short man with his hands on the table, and was eye-to-eye with the dealer opposite.
The onlookers were also interested, seeing that the scene was frozen here, they were all not noisy, quietly watching the excitement, the short man and the dealer looked at each other for a long time, and then they said: "I will gamble on my life, I will admit bad luck if I lose, and if you win, you will return my money to me."
The dealer was a young man in his early twenties, and when he saw that the short man was resolute, he said, "If you want to play, you can take the money.
What else does the short man have to say, a voice behind him said: "Bet your life and follow me.
