Lin Gao Qiming

Chapter 2220
After Huang Chao received Wang Chuyi's letter, he felt that something was wrong.But at the moment, he is out of skills and doesn't understand the situation in Yangshan, so he can't judge the situation.Although Huang Chao didn't agree with his approach, since a county was entrusted to him, it would be good after experience, and the elders couldn't do everything.Analyzing the content of the report again, Wang Chuyi's plan is not very risky, at most it will suffer a small loss, and it will not involve the entire county.

He immediately wrote back to express his agreement with Wang Chuyi's plan, but reminded him: "be more vigilant" and "it is not appropriate to tolerate such bandit tyrants too much. Don't make a big deal of leniency. It is not appropriate to give to bandit tyrants who are extremely angry with the people." Generous."

The letter was written in thousands of words, and it was written until the middle of the night.He wrote down all the main points and questions that he could think of, lest Wang Chuyi ignore any point that was not in place.

After writing, hand it over to the confidential officer to translate it into a coded letter, and then the correspondent will take it back.Here he called Zhen Huan over.

"You set off immediately with the whole company. You have to arrive at Yangshan before July 28, and you must prepare for battle that day." Huang Chao said, "After you arrive, you follow the command of the county magistrate Wang Chuyi."

Zhen Huan nodded: "Understood! I will arrange to leave early tomorrow morning."

After arranging the reinforcement team, Huang Chao felt a little relieved.As long as Zhen Huan can arrive in time with Shandi Company, Wang Chuyi can be remedied if something goes wrong.

The news that County Magistrate Wang was going to attend Sun Dabiao's "Golden Basin Washing Hands" meeting in Dayangxu spread quickly.Sun Dabiao said whenever he met, his beard trembled with joy.

"...Now that I have an official status, I will live a peaceful life relying on Australians for the rest of my life."

Sun Dabiao sent people to buy an old house in the county seat, and demolished it all to build a big house.They also sent people everywhere to buy good land in the countryside.Every day, porters from Dalangxu continuously transported the objects from his house and sent them to the county seat.There is a great intention to set up a comfortable home in the county seat.

The whole Dalangxu was even more busy. Not only the things in the house were being moved out, but also several shops under his name were closed, and all the shopkeepers and buddies in the shops were dismissed, leaving only one of the biggest ones, which was said to be "pension house". capital".The heroes from all walks of life who had been dormant also showed their faces one after another. Those who gave gifts and those who invited them to drink made a commotion—everyone knew: Sun Dabiao wanted to wash his hands in the gold basin, hand over Dalangxu, and from then on he became a rich man. Weng.

Wang Chuyi secretly mobilized various troops, and at the same time issued an order to Yonghua Yao District, asking them to immediately send 50 young men to the county to report to the county to enrich the temporary formation of a squadron.

The investigators sent to Qinglianxu closely monitored the local movements.Feng Haijiao had no other activities other than mowing soldiers and horses in the local area.This shows that there is no collusion between him and Sun Dabiao.However, Wang Chuyi was still not at ease.Because as soon as Zhenhuan's mountain company arrived, he sent the whole company outside Qinglianxu.One is to monitor Feng Haijiao to prevent him from sending troops suddenly; second, once Sun Dabiao accepts the adaptation, he can immediately launch an attack on Qinglianxu.

He was so busy that someone came to report: Tianchanggong Pan Tianshun of Sankeng Village in Yonghua came with supplementary soldiers.

"Please come in." Wang Chu said.

Pan Tianshun entered the hall and was about to kneel down.Wang Chu said, "Don't kneel down, sit down and talk."

"Master! Please save the people of Yonghua!" Pan Tianshun didn't care about his politeness at all, fell to his knees with a plop, and kowtowed three times.

Wang Chuyi was taken aback, and hurriedly got up to help him: "Hey, hey, Lord Tianchang, where did you start!"

Pan Tianshun is the relatively "loyal" Tianchang Duke in Yonghua Yao District, and he is not willing to meet the official swordsmen.This time I got up to participate in the Eight Pai Yao Rebellion purely because the Yao District had been exploited by Sun Dabiao for many years, and the riots started.

Although the Australians forgave them the crime of causing chaos, they did not kill the monster Sun Dabiao.Not only that, but Sun Dabiao, who was driven away by the Yao people at the beginning, returned to Dayangxu openly, and continued to do his "business", and the Yao people in Yonghua were still exploited by him.

For this matter, the villages in Yonghua have long been full of grievances, and according to the ideas of a few young people, they have long wanted to kill Sun Dabiao again.However, Tianchanggong and the elders of each village managed to subdue this wave: they had fought with the Australians, but they were not opponents at all--and if it hadn't been for the mercy of Huang Yuanlao, the young men of Yonghua's villages would have been around ten years old. Not one.Furthermore, a squadron of Australians is now stationed in Yonghua.Before the villages could gather together, they would be suppressed by the Australians.

However, this resentment is growing, especially after hearing that the Australians want to recruit Sun Dabiao and give him an official job, the people in Yonghua Yao District are even more resentful.Even a "respectable person" like Pan Tianshun finds it intolerable.Later, although the Australians directly opened a salt store in Yonghua and sold salt at a low price, some public grievances were somewhat eliminated, but the Yao District was already undercurrent, and it might explode at some point.

Pan Tianshun has been worried about this matter.He knew very well that if the Yao people in Yonghua rose up to rebel again, they would certainly be able to vent their anger for a while, but the ensuing revenge from the Australians would inevitably be very cruel, and their combat power was far superior to that of the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.One wrong step, it will be a disaster for Yonghua Yaomin.

Under such torment, Pan Tianshun planned to bring generous gifts to see Wang Chuyi several times, but each time he failed to make the trip because of the disagreement among the various villages.This time Wang Chuyi suddenly asked the villages to provide supplementary soldiers, Pan Tianshun felt that the opportunity was not lost, so he personally brought fifty young men to come here, intending to talk to this "veteran".

"Although the people of Yonghua were confused a few days ago, they followed Ba Pai Yao to create chaos in the county. But that was because of helplessness!" Pan Tianshun refused to get up, "Sun Dabiao forced us to die...Master, now the county Every day, I read slogans and sang songs, saying that the arrival of Australians is like the sun rising in winter, but this sun cannot be found on the heads of our Yonghua people... woo woo woo..."

The more Pan Tianshun talked, the more excited he became, and he burst into tears, complaining intermittently: "...Everyone has no salt to eat... A little bit of salt needs to be exchanged for a lot of mountain products, but there is no salt to eat, and I don't even have the strength to walk... The children have no salt to eat, and neither do the elderly... Everyone went to the graveyard to dig salt and eat it... How many people died after eating it..."

Wang Chuyi was very embarrassed. He roughly knew these things from the report of the squadron leader of the National Army stationed in Yonghua.But he thinks that the three tyrants of Yangshan should be subdued in one fell swoop now-this is a matter of once and for all, and the common people should suffer a little bit now.I didn't expect the grandpa's reaction to be so intense that day.

"...The people of Yonghua have been recruited by the county magistrate Mr. Zhao since the Wanli period, and have become the people of the court. Over the years, we have always respected the government and dared not make mistakes. If the government makes any demands, no matter whether it is the public It's still private. As long as you can prepare for it, you guys will do your best. Now that the government of the Ming Dynasty is gone, and you Australians are replaced as emperors, you guys don't dare to be disloyal—it's just a way of living like this It's almost gone..."

These words made Wang Chuyi very uncomfortable.He was also born in the poor, and he knew the miserable situation of the honest people who endured humiliation but were bullied and had nowhere to go.He hurriedly supported Pan Tianshun, pulled him up, and said: "Don't talk about it, I know all these things. It's just that I have to wrong you for a while, bear with it, the clouds will clear up in a few days .”

"The master said that Sun Dabiao wanted to wash his hands in a golden basin?" Pan Tianshun saw that the county magistrate's attitude was friendly, and it was inconvenient to cry, so he stood up.

"Exactly. After he holds this adaptation meeting, he will move out of Dalangxu and be taken over by our team—it will not be difficult for you to buy salt and sell mountain products in the future!"

"Thank you, master." Pan Tianshun wiped away his tears, and said worriedly, "Although Sun Dabiao is gone, he now has an official status, and he has formed a squadron under his command, and has become an officer and soldier...Little one I'm afraid that things will change again in the future..."

He said that although Sun Dabiao transferred all the stores in name, leaving only a grocery store, in fact, the salt store and grain store were taken over by his relatives and friends.The reality is still in hand.The subordinates are also very rampant, saying that they will come back in three to five years.

"...I'm not afraid, sir, that you will blame the young one for being overwhelmed. You are always in Yangshan, and the short period is two or three years, and the long period is only four or five years. Sooner or later, you will be promoted. When the time comes, the new county magistrate will not understand the old principles, and he It's a deep-rooted local snake, and this Dalangxu is still his family's property..."

Wang Chu nodded: "You are right. But you can rest assured. The Three Hegemons of Yangshan will pay off their blood debt sooner or later. So you don't have to worry—the Senate has its own ideas."

At this point, it is inconvenient for him to go on, and said: "This time, the people you brought will be incorporated into a temporary squadron. This squadron is basically composed of your Yonghua Yao people. I think there is no problem with Sun Dabiao's attitude. - I want you to keep an eye on Sun Dabiao's men, understand?"

The meaning of these words was already clear, Pan Tianshun lifted his spirits, and said, "As long as we deal with Sun Dabiao, the people of Yonghua can fight ten of them..."

"Don't talk too much. Besides, I didn't ask you to attack them. You are the ones who keep an eye on him." He said, "Captain You will arrange the specific tasks. You don't want to go back this time, You have high prestige, and you must be the backbone of the squadron. You have to rely on your squadron at critical times."

"Yes, the little one understands!" Pan Tianshun's spirits lifted.

Wang Chu issued a note and asked the warehouse to select some of the Ming army swords, guns, armor, and firearms in stock and distribute the others to the temporary squadron.Here, it is also advised to prepare wine and meat as a reward for the adaptation conference, and at the same time prepare 500 silver dollars for military pay.
