Chapter 232 0229 [Sharing the world with subordinates! 】

Fu Yamen, in the lobby.

Yang Jingde, the magistrate of the state, was sitting behind the hall. When he heard the report from the government officials that the rebel army was approaching, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.

Suppressing the panic in his heart, he pretended to be calm and said: "How many are the rebels?"

The Yamen servant answered truthfully: "About ten thousand people."

Yang Jingde asked again: "Which group of rebels are they? The Black Mountain bandits or the Gao Tuoshan bandits?"

"This... I don't know for sure, I just saw the rebel holding a large banner with Korean characters from a distance!"

Han?
Among the rebel leaders in Jinan Prefecture, there seems to be no one named Han.

While Yang Jingde was thinking hard, Li Yu, the general judge on the side, smiled and said: "No matter which way the rebels came, they only totaled more than ten thousand people. There are three thousand Xuanhua troops stationed in the county city, and the archers, Yamen servants and local braves can also Collect a thousand. The art of war is as follows: if ten of them are surrounded, five will be attacked. It is simply wishful thinking to think of attacking our Zichuan County with such a small number of people."

Hearing this, Yang Jingde's panic dissipated a lot. He stroked his beard and chuckled: "Li Tong's judgment is reasonable. The Western Army is now on the East Road of Hebei. They will send troops to quell the rebellion soon. We only need to hold on for a few days." The rebels will retreat."

Si Li joined the army and took the opportunity to flatter him and said with a smile: "It's all thanks to Yang Zhizhou's far-sightedness and foresight of the enemy's opportunity. He mobilized Xuanhua troops to station in the county in advance. I admire him."

Yang Jingde felt happy after being flattered by this flattery. He smiled complacently and ordered: "Order three groups of subordinate officials to post notices everywhere in the city to appease the people. Tell the people that there is no need to panic. The rebels will retreat in a few days." .”

"The subordinate takes orders!"

Si Li joined the army and bowed in response.

At this moment, Li Yu suddenly said: "Yang Zhizhou, the Xuanhua Army guards the county. There is no merit but hard work. We need to show something."

Yang Jingde instantly heard the implication of his words and said with understanding: "Li Tongpan's words are true and he should be rewarded."

Immediately, he changed his voice and frowned: "It's just that the treasury is empty now, and there is no money left for rewards."

"Hey!"

Li Yu first sighed and then suddenly suggested: "By the way, why not ask the wealthy businessmen in the city to donate some."

"How much to donate?"

Yang Jingde asked calmly.

Li Yu muttered: "Just 20 yuan, and the treasury can collect some more, it should be enough."

Yang Jingde agreed: "Okay, just 20 yuan!"

Listening to the two singing and harmonizing, how could the manager joining the army not know what they were thinking.

This is taking advantage of the rebel attacks and taking advantage of the opportunity to make money.

Both rebellion and rebellion must be justified.

In the same way, the same goes for making money. You have to find a reasonable reason and excuse.

In this way, no matter how reluctant the wealthy businessmen are, they still have to pay.

After all, he is a high-ranking official in the imperial court, a scholar-official who has read many books about saints and sages. His appearance should not be too ugly. If he resorts to plundering and plundering, will his reputation be lost?
Si Li joined the army and reminded: "Yang Zhizhou, this 20 yuan...isn't it too much? I'm afraid it will cause dissatisfaction among wealthy businessmen."

A few months ago, when the men's money was collected, a huge amount of money was ripped off, which really made the wealthy businessmen in the city bleed.

Now another 20 yuan is equivalent to cutting flesh with a knife.

The rabbit is in a hurry and even bites!

"Humph!"

Yang Jingde snorted, brushed his sleeves and said: "Dissatisfied? It's freezing cold today, and the soldiers are short of food and clothing, but they are still diligently guarding the county and city, all to protect them. You tell them, if the rebels are allowed to attack, It’s not a matter of 20 yuan to conquer the city.”

Although he felt that at this time, the wealthy businessmen in the city should not be overly forced, but when it came to this, Si Lijun had no choice but to nod in agreement.

"Your Majesty understands."

"Well, let's go."

Yang Jingde waved his hand.

……

But after Qiu Niu entered the city, he plunged into the alley.

Keep walking along the alley, and finally enter the backyard of a hotel close to the east city wall.

As soon as he entered the backyard, Qiu Niu turned around, closed the door, and pushed it shut with the bolt.

At this moment, there was a burst of curses coming from behind: "You are so talented, you are so courageous, how can you come here?"

Turning around, he saw that the person yelling and scolding was a guy wearing a green hat.

Qiu Niu was not annoyed. He took out a token from his arms, waved it in front of the waiter, and quickly said a code: "Palace Jade Liquid Wine!"

The moment he saw the token, the clerk was excited and hurriedly bowed and said: "I've met the military master! I'm sorry, military master, it's really too dark..."

"It's okay, let's talk after we go in." Qiu Niu waved his hand and put away the token.

"Master Jun, please come this way."

The boy said, leading Qiu Niu into a utility room.

At this moment, it was getting darker outside, so the man lit the oil lamp.

Through the dim light, he realized that Qiu Niu's face was covered in blood and looked particularly terrifying.

We were in the yard just now. It was dark and we couldn't see clearly. We just thought it was mud.

"Master Jun is injured, I'm going to ask the doctor." The man made a show of going out.

Qiu Niu grabbed him and said nonchalantly: "It's a small injury, just to look at to scare people. There's no need to cause trouble. Just find me some golden sore medicine later."

"That's all right."

The waiter paused and could only nod in response.

After moving the groceries in the corner, the man fumbled on the wooden floor for a while, then grabbed a buckle and pulled hard.

The next moment, the wooden board was opened and lifted, revealing the secret passage below.

"Master, please go down first. I will bring you food and medicine for sores later."

"it is good!"

Qiu Niu nodded, took an oil lamp, and walked down the slope to the secret room.

It is said to be a secret room, but in fact it is a wider cellar.

Not to mention, compared to the cold outside, the cellar is much warmer, like a greenhouse.

In the cellar, there is a table and chairs, plus a few beds.

There were several wooden boxes stacked in the corner. Qiu Niu walked over and opened the wooden boxes, revealing dark iron armor.

Opening another one reveals various weapons.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps from above. Qiu Niu's expression tightened and he picked up a knife from the wooden box.

The next moment, five people were seen walking down the slope one after another.

When he saw the person clearly, Qiu Niu put down the knife in his hand.

"I've seen it all before!"

The five of them clasped their fists together.

These five people were dressed the same as him, wearing tattered linen clothes and a pair of straw sandals.

Qiu Niu asked: "Only five of us?"

"Ok!"

A soldier nodded and said with a wry smile: "A hundred and ten Xuanhua troops blocked the door and beat them with sticks. The lowly and others had to endure several sticks before they rushed in. The other brothers were not so lucky and were beaten by the crowd. If you are forced to retreat, you will not be able to get in."

Hearing this, Qiu Niu couldn't help but frown.

There were eighty scouts, but only six came in, which was two or three times less than expected.

Qiu Niu ordered: "Have a rest first."

Not long after, the waiter came down, and with him came a middle-aged man dressed as a shopkeeper.

This hotel is one of the many branches of Zhuolou. From the shopkeeper to the waiters, they are all spies carefully selected by Han Zhen.

"Master Jun, here are the clothes."

The guy put the food box on the table and pointed at the big package and explained.

After briefly treating the wound on his forehead, Qiu Niu looked at the shopkeeper and asked: "How is the contact with the subordinate staff?"

The shopkeeper answered truthfully: "Zhen Dutou, I have already contacted most of them, but these subordinates are very cunning, and they are all masters who do not see rabbits but do not let go of hawks."

"Hey!" Qiu Niu sneered: "The county magistrate has expected this for a long time. The reason why he let us enter the city is to add fuel to the fire to these subordinate officials!"

The shopkeeper asked: "What do you need me to do?"

Qiu Niu shook his head: "You don't need to wait to take action. Give me the detailed map of the county and city."

Hearing this, the shopkeeper took out a map from his pocket and handed it over.

Although this map is not as exquisite as the imperial court's, it is more detailed, and every street and alley is clear and standard.

After taking the map, Qiu Niu ordered: "Just wait, so as not to attract attention."

After the two of them left, the six Qiu Niu opened the package, put on clean clothes, and then started eating.

After eating, a soldier asked: "Dutou, what is the current regulation?"

"Don't talk nonsense, sleep, act when you're ugly!"

Qiu Niu confessed, took the lead to lie down on a bed, covered himself with a quilt, and soon began to snore steadily.

Seeing this, the five soldiers looked at each other and lay down to sleep.

Three watch days.

The oil lamp was slowly lit, and the dim light dispelled the darkness of the cellar.

After a good sleep, Qiu Niu felt much better.

He took out an oil paper package from his arms, opened it, and took out a thick stack of leaflet-like paper.

After distributing a stack to each person, Qiu Niu explained: "Post these notices at the intersections of various streets and alleys, and each person is responsible for an area. When encountering inspections, do not cause conflicts, and hide if you can."

After arranging the area that everyone was responsible for, the six people came out of the cellar, opened the back door, and quickly disappeared into the darkness.

……

……

The next day.

Zhang Liuer yawned and pushed open the door.

He tightened his black and red soap uniform, picked up the fire stick, and went out.

As I walked along the alley to the entrance, I saw a group of people gathered around, talking in all directions.

"What does this say?"

"I can't understand it either."

"Zhu Laosi, haven't you been to school and can read? What are you writing for everyone?"

"It seems to be a message, but the format is wrong."

"What is a statement? Don't bother with those who don't understand. Just tell me."

"The general idea is that the rebel who attacked the county is named Han Zhen, and now he has occupied Qingzhou. He has heard for a long time that the subordinate officials are miserable, and he wants to share the world with the subordinate officials."

Sharing the world with subordinates?

Zhang Liuer suddenly became excited, and all the sleepiness disappeared from his mind. He hurriedly stepped forward and yelled: "What are you doing here?"

"Not much."

Seeing that a subordinate official had arrived, the people watching suddenly dispersed.

Zhang Liuer looked at the notice posted on the wall, and the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became.

In addition to what Zhu Laosi just said, there are also a series of officials' names below.

[He Jun, a native of Linzi, has been a subordinate official for three generations, and is currently the magistrate of Shouguang County.

Lu Yan is from Linzi, his father and brother are both subordinate officials, and he is currently the county magistrate of Shouguang County.

Xiang Hui...]

Gollum!

Zhang Liuer swallowed, feeling frightened but also yearning.

A subordinate official, can he really be an official?
Suppressing the surging thoughts in his heart, Zhang Liuer tore off the notice on the wall and hurried to an alley.

He was cautious and did not go to the government office. Instead, he went to the street where his boss Xu Dutou lived.

We arrived at a courtyard with ease, and Xu Dutou was having breakfast in the living room.

"If you don't go to the government office on business, why are you here in Pontou?"

Xu Du glanced at him and sipped the gruel from the bowl.

He took out the notice from his arms and handed it over. Zhang Liuer whispered: "Xu Dutou, I just found this on the wall of the alley."

"What's the matter?"

Xu Dutou didn't pay attention at first and took the notice casually.

Just at one glance, his expression suddenly changed.

Putting down the pottery bowl in his hand, Xu Dutou asked with a solemn expression, "Has anyone else seen it?"

Zhang Liuer was a little frightened by what he saw. He shrank his neck and said, "Yes, when I found out, there were already more than a dozen people watching."

Xu Dutou asked: "Who are these people? Do you recognize them?"

"Xu Dutou, Xu Dutou!"

Before Zhang Liuer could answer, there was a rush of sound outside the hospital again.

The two turned around and saw another official running towards them in a panic, holding a notice.

Seeing this, Xu Du's head twitched in his heart.

Bad thing!
Xu Dutou asked first, "Did you find this notice at the entrance of the alley?"

The Zaoli official was stunned for a moment, and then said in amazement: "Xu Dutou is really amazing. He found it at the entrance of the alley. At that time, many people gathered to watch. I felt strange..."

Zhang Liuer looked anxious and said: "Xu Dutou, what should we do with this notice?"

"Report truthfully!"

Xu Dutou gritted his teeth and said.

The same notices appeared in two consecutive alleys, one in the south and one in the north, which meant that there were also signs in other streets and alleys.

You can't hide this matter if you want to, so you can only report it.

……

"Qingzhou actually fell?"

In the government office, Yang Jingde slowly put down the notice in his hand, with surprise and uncertainty in his eyes.

The most important thing is that he, the magistrate of Zizhou, did not get any news about the fall of Qingzhou.

Li Yu said with a solemn expression: "Yang Zhizhou, whether Qingzhou has fallen or not has nothing to do with us. If the court wants to punish them, it is looking for Zhao Ting and Liu Mi. The most urgent thing now is the content of this notice."

"Sharing the world with subordinates?"

Yang Jingde sneered: "The subordinate officials are all deceitful, cunning and lazy people. It is really ridiculous to want to rely on subordinate officials to conquer the world!"

In his eyes, subordinate officials are humble.

Once you become a subordinate official, you will remain a subordinate official for the rest of your life. Your descendants will not be able to do business, they will not be able to cultivate land, and they will not be able to read.

Just like a bunch of lowly cattle and horses, there are people who want to share the world with them.

A rebel is a rebel, and dog meat cannot be served at the banquet!

Li Yu frowned and said, "What I'm worried about is that the government officials will be seduced by the anti-thief notices. If they take risks in desperation, it will be detrimental to us!"

Hearing this, Yang Jingde was immediately shocked.

There are more than a thousand subordinate officials in the six and three divisions of the county city, and there is no restriction on entering and leaving the government offices. If they have evil intentions, there are a hundred ways to kill them.

Thinking of this, he quickly ordered: "This... I will dispatch the Xuanhua Army to the government office to protect us personally."

After saying that, Yang Jingde still felt that something was wrong and suggested: "Why not, let these subordinate officials..."

"No!"

Li Yu waved his hand and said: "Ministry staff are still needed to handle all the trivial matters in the government office. Otherwise, the total number of officials and officials like us would only be more than fifty, and we would not be able to keep busy."
