Ma Yangchen nodded, took the silver that was warmed by Wu Youfang, and said: "In this world, there is finally a righteous and courageous award that can comfort my injured heart." ”

Wu Youfang sighed and said, "I said hero, the case is over." According to the usual practice, the case fee is generally five taels of silver. ”

Ma Yangchen smiled: "I am not a plaintiff, nor a defendant, according to the convention, I do not need to pay fees." ”

Wu Youfang said: "But these people who follow you have private weapons of the standard, especially the repeater, which is the material of the military." Although the officer does not have the authority to check the people of the military, if the hero can show the certificate of the military's armed weapons to the officer, the officer is more than happy to act as if he has not seen anything. ”

Ma Yangchen said: "I don't know if the county magistrate can take a step to speak." ”

"Of course, of course, heroes come with me. Wu Youfang glanced at the master and led Ma Yangchen to the back hall.

Everyone looked at it, but they didn't move, only Jun Qianhua followed.

Coming to the back hall, Wu Youfang said: "A month ago, Moganshan sent someone to talk to the official about surrendering to Cheng, and the official's family has been moved to the mountain. As soon as I saw you in the hall today, the official had already guessed that the young master had arrived. Xiaguan Wu Youfang see the young master!"

Ma Yangchen said with a smile: "The county magistrate, please hurry up! Who is the one who came to talk to you? How did you talk about it?"

"The person who came to talk was surnamed Baili and called himself the god of wine in Moganshan. ”

"Oh?" Ma Yangchen nodded in surprise and said, "Thyme?"

"Yes! Wu Youfang suddenly remembered something, and said, "He said that he is the god of wine, thyme." Several counties near Moganshan have been recruited. The thirteen members of the Xiaguan family have all been invited to the mountain, young master, the Xiaguan is obedient to his words, and he has no two hearts!"

Ma Yangchen frowned and said, "I know." I'll ask when I get back to the mountain. ”

Wu Youfang said: "Young master, the county Cheng Jose has been taken into custody, how to deal with it next, please ask the young master to make it clear!"

Ma Yangchen glanced at Wu Youfang and said, "Look at your case, you are not a foolish person." Why do you ask?"

Wu Youfang said: "It's not that the lower officials are pretending to be confused. The lower officials really couldn't understand what Moganshan was going to do? If it was said that he wanted to fight against the imperial court, he would neither send troops nor capture it. If it is just to control our Qipin county orders, there is no need to work so hard at all. Speaking from the heart, young master, we are the ones who do it with, as long as there is a life, everything is negotiable. However, when his wife and children are involved, everyone is always a little uneasy. ”

Ma Yangchen nodded and said, "Then what do you say should be done?"

"According to the humble opinion of the lower officials, the young master can directly send someone to take over the county seat. We will never cause chaos, and the lower officials will be ordinary people, one will not leave, two will not escape, and three will not inform. To tell the truth, within seven days, the imperial court will send people to encircle and suppress it. You and the imperial army are really fighting. Win or lose, it's always a way to go. If you want to win the country, this road can't be bypassed. Xia Guan is a literati and can't be slashed immediately, so he can only tell himself that living is the king. If the young master can afford to be in the middle, the lower officials can still assist in governing Jiande County. Xiaguan's master is a fellow villager of Xiaguan, who is talented and rich, and is really a first-class talent in the world of Qi family. Wu Youfang sighed and said.

Ma Yangchen said: "If I send someone to take over the county, what will you do next?"

Wu Youfang said: "The lower official will lead all the officials to obey the order of the young master, appease the people of the city, and hand over peacefully." ”

"Why?"

"The result of war is the loss of human lives, and there is no essential difference between any change of regime and the people. So don't let the people bear the consequences. If we can take over the county peacefully and avoid rivers of blood, this is the real mission of our parents and officials. ”

Ma Yangchen nodded and said, "The county commander is transparent. ”

Wu Youfang said: "It's not that the lower officials are greedy for life and afraid of death, it's just that the safety of hundreds of thousands of people in the city is the responsibility of the lower officials." ”

Ma Yangchen said: "That's good! After I return to Moganshan, I will definitely send my wife, children, and children back, and at the same time send someone to take over the county seat." We are only responsible for the defense of the city, and the rest of the affairs are still handled by the lord and the master, I don't know what the lord wants?"

"The lower officials will do their best and do their best. Wu Youfang bowed and said.

Ma Yangchen said with a smile: "Who is the master you just mentioned?"

Wu Youfang said: "The first place in the township test in the second year of Dayu, because of the poverty of the family, I couldn't continue to catch the exam, so I came to Xiaguan last year. Xia Guan saw that it was a material that could be made, so he stayed by his side and became a master. ”

"What's his name?"

"His name is Li Linfu. ”

"That's good. Li Linfu, I'll take it away. Sent back when taking over the county. ”

Wu Youfang nodded and said, "Okay!

Ma Yangchen got up and left, led Mo Yan and his people to wait, took Li Linfu with him, and returned to the Yizhihua Inn. Early in the morning of the second day, the group left Jiande County and went to Moganshan.

The mountain has already received news that the commanders of the major battalions and the heroes of the rivers and lakes have gathered together in the military tents in the Moganshan camp.

Ma Yangchen came to the Chinese military tent to sit down, exchanged a few words of greeting, and began to get to the point.

The four gentlemen, represented by Ye Zhiqiu, first reported on the recent situation of the military camps, and the expansion of the Fourth Route Army has reached nearly 30,000 people, and more than half of the men and horses have been prepared. In particular, there are nearly 2,000 people in the scout camp, and there are scouts all over the Mogan Mountain within a radius of 100 miles. The transport capacity of the baggage battalion has tripled. More than half of the horses in the camp were sold from the best horses in the Mengtars.

Mo Xueshuang, on behalf of the Four Divine Venerables, reported on the purging of the Jianghu sect, all the halls set up by Shen Wanshan in the south of the Yangtze River have been cleared, except for Xue Wuxian and Meng Blind who is far away in Fengdu, it still cannot be eradicated, and the Iron Sword Gate has ceased to exist in the rivers and lakes.

Ma Yangchen looked at Thyme and asked, "Senior Baili, I heard that you have taken all the families of the county commanders to the mountains in the last few counties. ”

Thyme said: "That's right, I was just trying to tell the young master." The wives and children of the county commanders of the six counties of Jiande, Lin'an, Xiaoshan, Yuhang, Fuyang, and Tonglu have been brought up the mountain, and we will be able to take over the county seat in a few days. ”

Ma Yangchen asked with a smile: "In this way, all matters related to the takeover of the county town in the future will be handed over to Li Linfu." Come, let me introduce it to you. ”

Li Linfu stood up and said hello to everyone.

Thyme opened her mouth and swallowed the words back, not saying anything more.

Ma Yangchen looked at Huo Qiguang and asked, "General Huo, tell me about the situation in the overseer camp." ”

Huo Qiguang stood up and said: "Since the young master appointed Zai Xia to serve as the commander of the overseer battalion, he discussed with the four gentlemen and generals to issue a total of one hundred and eight articles of military discipline, and found and dealt with a total of two hundred and nine people who violated military discipline. However, there have been occasional conflicts between the brothers in the military camp and the Jianghu sect recently, and yesterday there was a weapon fight between the people of the Bafang Fengyulou and the people of the Xiaocai Battalion, and a few people were injured. The Riders are in confinement, but..."

Dugu Wuliang said with a gloomy face: "The person who did it in the Bafang Wind and Rain Building has been executed by the family law and reprimanded a hundred times. ”

Huo Qiguang continued: "Young Master, I mean, isn't it better to separate the military camp from the camp of the Jianghu brothers?"

Ma Yangchen looked at Dugu Wuliang and said, "What do you think of Dugu's seniors?"

Dugu Wuliang said: "Everything is arranged by the young master." ”

Ma Yangchen looked at Ye Zhiqiu again and said, "General Ye, what do you see?"

Ye Zhiqiu nodded and said, "The last general also proposed to be stationed separately. The Jianghu brothers are all reckless people, and there is indeed a difference between them and those who march and fight. If it causes contradictions, it hurts the harmony, and the gains outweigh the losses. ”

"Well, that's fine. Mr. Luo was still on the way, and when Mr. Luo came back, he began to arrange for the sub-camp to be stationed. The Overseer Camp should increase the intensity of the Overseer during this time, and it should not be opened just because there is a problem. All contradictions shall be handled with the conclusion of the Military Aircraft Department as the final interpretation. Master Mo Zhuang and General Ye should ventilate more, for me, the palms and backs of my hands are meat, and I hope everyone can unite sincerely and contribute to the great cause of recovering the country and rejuvenating Hao. ”

Mo Xueshuang and Ye Zhiqiu bowed their heads and said yes.

Ma Yangchen briefly described how to get rid of Lai Junchen on this trip, how to get out of danger in Longmen, and how to open up the second camp of Ziyun Mountain Stream.

Everyone listened proudly.

In the following time, the commanders of each battalion made a debriefing, and after separation, the military aircraft department met again.

Ma Yangchen said directly: "Among the rebels, Muzhou Chen Shuozhen and his brother-in-law Zhang Shuyin organized an uprising in Qingxi County's Shipwright Mountain, calling themselves "Emperor Wenjia". But unexpectedly, Yangzhou Assassin Shi Fang Renyu sent troops to attack the south, Wuzhou Assassin Shi Cui Yixuan and others led troops to the north, the righteous army was defeated in Xiahuai, thousands of people were killed, and 10,000 people surrendered to the official army one after another.

Let's talk about Chen Shuozhen. Her parents died when she was a child, and she lived with a younger sister. One year, there was a flood in Qingxi County that had not been seen in a century, and the imperial court not only did not open a warehouse to provide grain, but also collected various taxes, resulting in the people having no livelihood, selling their children and daughters, being displaced, and starving. Chen Shuozhen secretly opened the owner's granary to relieve the victims, but was discovered by the owner, tied up, beaten all over the body, and died.

Later, Chen Shuozhen hid in the mountains and decided to use the Taoist Pavilion Soap Sect to develop believers and become a force for the uprising. She first spread some news, saying that she met Taishang Laojun in the deep mountains, and was accepted as a disciple, founded the Fire Phoenix Society, and said that she was the Nine Heavens Xuannu descended to earth, known as the Holy Mother of the Red Sky, and mastered the art of the emperor - Qimen Dunjia, and the villagers hoped that she could benefit the people more, and they were convinced of Chen Shuozhen's statement. ”

When Ma Yangchen said this, he paused, and said, "Why am I saying this? First, I want to tell you that if you want to conquer the world, you can't rely on the sect alone, and if you don't have soldiers and horses in your hands who can fight well, it's just a paper lantern, and it will be easily wiped out. Second, it is not possible without a congregation, and the people of Li are the water carrying boats, so all the Jianghu brothers must be reorganized into a sect in the future, and only by developing more believers can they form a momentum. Third, Baili seniors, just follow what you just said, you can tell us your story. ”
