Chapter 563
"When the fleet came to the north that day, the navy's military supplies were still looking for cooks locally, and they also purchased various ingredients to let them go north with the fleet. I thought it was the boss from the north who wanted to use it, but I didn't expect it to be Master Wang. Your lord really took the trouble to prepare for our brothers!"

This Mai Guerrilla had a strong Cantonese accent, but he could still understand the official language. When the Guangdong navy went north, Wang Tong specifically mentioned that the chefs transferred to Guangdong went north together.

As a result, thousands of officers and soldiers of the Guangdong Navy came to Tianjin Wei and found that everything was in order, the cotton clothes and leather jackets were all in place, the barracks were also in good order, there was a doctor who looked at their unacceptable diseases, and there was even a chef who was dedicated to cooking.

Serving as a soldier eats food, and the military pay is deducted. This is a hard job. The officers and soldiers of the navy are just trying to get enough to eat in Guangdong. When they come to Tianjin Wei, they have fish and meat. The food is much richer. Life is better than in Guangdong. many.

Ordinary officers and soldiers feel comfortable, and the treatment is even better from the chief and thousand to the guerrilla level, with a special house and double the military pay.

In addition to these benefits, there is also a special treatment for the generals of the navy from Guangdong. The Sanjiang Commercial Bank has set up a special semicolon, which is dedicated to trade between Guangdong and Tianjin Wei. These generals have Dry stock dividends.

This kind of generous treatment, on the one hand, the Guangdong Navy in Tianjin Wei lamented that this trip was worthwhile, on the other hand, they were also thinking about it. What is the reason for this young Lord Wang to treat the navy who has always been despised in the army? for what.

Mai Guerzilla is that kind of thoughtful person, he can sit in this position, he is naturally the confidant of Admiral Chen Lin of the navy, he will do everything with all his heart, and he must also find out the intentions of this Lord Xiao Wang.

The two sides often discuss the defense at sea. Mai Guerzilla thanked him while trying to test Wang Tong's intentions.

After a few polite words, Wang Tong said with a smile:
"Mai Guerrilla also saw that there are no boats on Wang's side, and the people who are drawn from all over are all reckless characters. They can't be used in a hurry, and those boats can't be empty there. Wang has a plan. Can the people from the Tianjin Wei side be trained on the side of your army, and the people from your army will stand on top of the warships on the side of Tianjin Wei first."

Hearing Wang Tong's words, Mai Guerzilla was taken aback, but then said with a smile:

"It's easy to say, receiving such kindness from Mr. Wang in Tianjin Wei, such trivial matters are nothing. Please let the people on Mr. Wang's side and Mr. Mai's side inform you."

Wang Tong thanked with a smile. The Guangdong Navy is a navy that has always maintained a complete organizational system in Ming Dynasty. No matter what the officers and soldiers of the navy are, they have been experienced in the sea for a long time and are skilled in skills.

Such a group of people came to Tianjin Wei, which lacked skilled sailors and did not have effective warships to protect Tianjin Wei. Naturally, Wang Tong would not just let them assist in the defense.

First use the high salary and generous treatment to make them feel that Tianjin Wei is a good place, and do other things slowly, but there is no rush.

***********
In October, the capital has gradually become colder, and the frail people have to wear cotton clothes and leather robes, and are guarded by personal guards every day. Li Wenyuan and Lu Wancai have already adapted to it.

Lu Wancai's family is in the capital, and they are the judges of Shuntian Mansion. The mansion is not small, and it is not convenient to have a few young and strong men to follow. Li Wenyuan lives at home alone, and there is nothing wrong with having a few more people.

In order to avoid attracting too much attention, Li Wenyuan simply put on the uniforms of Jinyiwei for the four guards who followed him. People saw them every day and thought they were soldiers from two families of Jinyiwei on South Street.

The guards arranged in July were relatively peaceful until October. The city's public security department kept a close eye on them, and many things that they hadn't paid attention to before were uncovered, but they were just small cases of crimes.

Lu Wancai's side is alright, they have a lot of men, and guards are just guards. Li Wenyuan's side already treats the guards as soldiers, often running errands or something.

After the clock was over on October [-], Li Wenyuan led people to walk around a few streets as usual to make inspections.

With South Street as the center, these streets belonging to Li Wenyuan's jurisdiction are becoming more and more deserted. There is a delicious restaurant on South Street, and the emperor will occasionally go in and out of it. This was originally an attractive gimmick, and here What is the Tiger Mighty Martial Art Museum, which is also considered a treasure.

Because of this, the rich and powerful families of the capital all set up properties near South Street. Except for Meimeiguan and Zhenxing Building, which are owned by the palace and the Department of Public Security, to this day, the rich and powerful families of the capital are behind all other transactions.

But if you set up a shop here, you naturally don't expect these businesses to make any money, and it's good to have a relationship with the royal family.The storefronts near the Delicious Pavilion were all bought by the first-class wealthy families, and the second-class people took the second place and bought the residents behind and around the store.

As soon as Wang Tong left the capital, Emperor Wanli went to the Delicious Restaurant a handful of times. The rich and noble families who bought and sold around South Street didn't expect the house to make money, so they put it here. The shop barely relied on eunuchs and guards. The passenger flow was maintained, but the door of the house was locked and ignored.

Fortunately, South Street is now only a nominal jurisdiction for the two hundred households of Jinyiwei under the jurisdiction of Li Wenyuan. Their expenses are allocated by the Secretary of Public Security. The interval and inspection are similar to a ceremony.

Li Wenyuan and the others couldn't walk a few steps, but saw someone in front of him picking a pick, yelling:

"Sugar man, sugar cake!!"

Both ends of the pole were dyed red, but the basket was covered with a black cloth. This was a caramel peddler. Seeing Li Wenyuan and others approaching, he hurriedly made way for him, put down the pole and waited for Li Wenyuan and others to pass by. He bowed his head respectfully.

Walking past this challenge, a guard smiled and said:

"This dealer must be a novice. There is not even a resident on South Street, so there are some children who buy sugar to take care of his business."

The guards have also been with Li Wenyuan for several months, walking back and forth on South Street, doing errands everywhere, and they are also familiar with South Street.

One person said, and everyone laughed, Li Wenyuan also shook his head with a smile, and turned a street corner, but there was another man with a bamboo basket and a cap shouting:
“Bamboo shoots~~~fresh~~~~”

At this time, the last wave of seasonal southern goods arrives. The so-called winter bamboo shoots are sold at this time. The bamboo shoots are delicious and seasoned, and they are suitable for cooking and soup at home. At this time, bamboo baskets are carried on the streets , selling bamboo shoots is a scene in the capital.

The guards were joking and laughing again, but Li Wenyuan didn't make a sound. After walking a few steps forward, the bamboo shoot seller wandered back again. Li Wenyuan stopped, and the surrounding guards also stopped, thinking that something had happened. , looking around.

The man who bought the winter bamboo shoots approached, and did not dare to bump into the person in the official uniform. He carefully dodged to the side, and Li Wenyuan suddenly asked:
"Do you think one person can deal with five of us?"

The peddler was stunned for a moment, and raised his lowered head abruptly, and the guards following Li Wenyuan also immediately realized that these guards may not be guarded by Li Wenyuan, an old Jinyi guard who has been working for many years, but their movements are poorly trained. Su, the two retreated to Li Wenyuan's side, and the two of them drew their knives and had already rushed forward.

The bamboo shoot peddler didn't move too slowly. He jumped forward, tilted his shoulders, and tore off the bamboo basket on his back. With a swish of his arm, he threw the bamboo basket towards the two guards.

There were really dried bamboo shoots in it, scattered all over the sky, the two guards subconsciously drew their knives back to block, and their steps slowed down a bit, the peddler had already rushed out a few steps, holding a gleaming bamboo shoot in his hand. Short knife, the peddler didn't look back, but shouted loudly:
"It's watery!! It's watery!!"

If you shout "on fire", people nearby will definitely gather when they hear it. If you shout "get out of water", those who understand will also call for help to put out the fire. Need to pay attention, not to mention the South Street is so deserted.

Li Wenyuan had already held the scabbard in his hand and was about to throw it out, but was blocked by the bamboo basket and dried bamboo shoots. He was stunned when he heard the man shouting.

After being stunned, Li Wenyuan immediately reacted and said:
"Two people in front, two people behind, rush to the west intersection with me!!"

As soon as this order was issued, footsteps were heard on the deserted street, and a dozen people gathered, but they all looked like small vendors. One of them was the vendor who was selling maltose just now, but the two baskets were missing. On the front of the shoulder pole in his hand was a gleaming spike, which was obviously the belongings of a short spear.

"Don't let him run back to South Street, there are too many guards and soldiers over there!"

The peddler selling bamboo shoots roared, and a dozen men with long and short weapons surrounded them. Although these people were dressed as ordinary people, they were murderous and well-coordinated in their behavior. They were armed with short weapons, and the opponent had a pole with a spear point in his hand, but they were all long soldiers, not to mention that the opponent had a large number of people.

But Li Wenyuan's direction surprised those besieging people. The South Street is on the north side, but the bustling place is on the south side. Even if you can meet Jin Yiwei on business in the east, why go to the west side.

Going to the west, it is actually the most deserted place in this area. If they want to run there, it is tantamount to getting into a dead end.

Moreover, it was expected that Li Wenyuan would rush to the south and north, but he did not expect to go to the west. He was caught off guard for a while, and the two guards who ran in front were skilled in martial arts and brave. The knife slashed, and a group of people rushed over.

Li Wenyuan's legs and feet are not good, he can't run fast, and the chasing soldiers quickly catch up. This area is not big, and within a few steps of running here, Li Wenyuan's house is in front of him——
