Back to Datang with weapons

第711章 衢州百态（求订阅！）

When Liu Qun heard Zhang Twelve's arrangement, he didn't say anything else, and immediately passed on Zhang Twelve's words.

Hearing this news, all the soldiers cheered.

They were really too hot, not only because of the weather, but because they were all wearing thick military uniforms and armor. Under the scorching sun, their whole bodies seemed to be steamed, and the clothes were completely soaked, not to mention What a pain!
Just now Liu Qun ordered a rest, which gave them a chance to catch their breath, but they also knew that this rest was also temporary, and it probably wouldn't be long before they had to get up and continue their journey under the sun.

Thinking of this, everyone can't help but feel a little tired, but they won't talk too much when they are marching outside.

Now when Liu Qun suddenly heard that they would set up camp here and wait for the sun to set before continuing on their way, they immediately became excited!

Just now, because I felt that I was camping temporarily, even if everyone sat down, they didn't dare to take off their clothes. They could only rest for a while, and were ready to start again at any time.

But it was different now. After hearing Liu Qun's instructions and cheering, everyone took off their thick armor and put it aside, which was a relaxing and refreshing experience.

Then some people ran to the side of the creek and poured water on their bodies to enjoy the coolness, and some people started to set up pots, took out grain, and prepared to light a fire for cooking.

The Jinling Cavalry Regiment led by Zhang Twelve enjoyed a rare and comfortable time.

………………

Inside the city of Quzhou, outside the Yamen.

At this time, many Quzhou people gathered at the gate, everyone was looking at the notice above, frowning slightly.

"Why do you want to increase taxes again?"

"Isn't it? Didn't you just hand it in a few days ago? How many days have passed?"

"Last year's harvest was not good. Where can I find so much tax? Does this make people alive?"

It turned out that the notice posted outside the yamen said that because the guards of Quzhou City wanted to organize troops to resist Zhang Twelve's march to the north, they had to collect taxes from the people of Quzhou for the war!
But Quzhou is not Jinling, the people are not very rich, and now they are collecting taxes arbitrarily, the people are quite critical, and they all complain there.

"I'm full and have nothing to do, right? If you have nothing to do, hurry home and get your taxes ready! Don't wait for us to collect it, because we won't be able to get it out!"

At this time, a sharp-mouthed monkey-cheeked yamen servant came out of the yamen, stared at the people who were whispering while looking at the notice, and yelled out.

When those common people heard this, they frowned tightly again. Undoubtedly, they hated this yamen servant in front of them extremely!

But as an ordinary citizen, even if he is dissatisfied or disgusted in front of an official, so what?
The common people looked at the yamen servant in disgust, and turned to leave. At this time, some curious common people couldn't help asking: "Master Zhang, is it true that County Bo Zhang will come to Quzhou City?"

As soon as these words came out, the people who turned around and took a few steps just now turned around immediately, and stopped walking, but looked at the yamen servant curiously, waiting for him to speak.

The yamen servant first gave a cold snort of disdain, and then stared at the people who asked the question with some dissatisfaction and said, "Mr. Zhang? Which Mr. Zhang?"

"Naturally... Duke Wei's eldest grandson, County Uncle Zhang..."

If Zhang Twelve heard this, he would be very disappointed.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Twelve was well-known in the Tang Dynasty, but very few people knew his name, and the most familiar one was the three characters Zhang Xianbo!
"Uncle Zhang? Duke Wei? Hehe..."

The yamen servant sneered, and then cursed loudly: "What a scumbag, believe it or not, with your words, I can punish you and put you in prison?"

Seeing the ferocious face of the yamen servant, the common people were frightened, and hurriedly begged for mercy, "Excuse me, sir! If the little one offends the official in any way, I hope the official can come forward to testify..."

The yamen servant sneered again, then scanned the crowd with cold eyes again, and then said: "Okay, then I will tell you! Duke Wei? Is there still Duke Wei in Tang Dynasty now?

Since the current Holy Majesty succeeded to the throne, there has been no Duke of Wei in this world!

And that twelve, I bah, what county uncle?That is the murderer who killed Kang Wang, everyone can be punished, if anyone dares to call him Zhang Xianbo, believe it or not, I will put you all in prison! "

As soon as these words came out, everyone took a breath and fell silent.

Seeing that everyone was frightened by him, the yamen servant was also very proud, and continued: "I also tell you that Zhang Twelve came here from Jinling this time, that is really beyond his capabilities!

As long as he dares to come to Quzhou, our General Song will let him know that our officers and soldiers in Quzhou City are not easy to mess with!

And you guys, hurry back and prepare to pay taxes, when the time comes, let Song Shoujiang buy more weapons and horses, and then don’t leave Zhang Twelve Killer’s piece of armor, hahaha..."

The more the yamen servant talked, the happier he was, and he didn't care about the crowd, and after finishing speaking on his own, he strode towards the county yamen.

Speaking of which, the yamen servant's hatred for Zhang Twelve can be said to come from the bottom of his heart.

He had never met Zhang Twelve before, but he was full of hatred for Zhang Twelve. The reason for this was because of Zhang Twelve's last trip to Quzhou!

The last time Zhang Twelve came to Quzhou, his first stop was Zhoujiazhuang. In Zhoujiazhuang, he not only killed Zhou Yuanwai, but also took all Zhou Yuanwai's family wealth!
Zhang Twelve left Quzhou after that, but some people hated him, such as the sharp-mouthed monkey-cheeked yamen servant, Zhou Bobo.

Zhou Yuanwai is Zhou Bobo's uncle, because Zhou Yuanwai has no descendants, so of course, Zhou Bobo is thinking that after Zhou Yuanwai's hundred years, his huge property will be his!

Whenever he thinks of this, he can be woken up with a smile!

So sometimes, he wished that Zhou Yuanwai would die sooner. Only after he died, Zhou Bobo could successfully inherit his family property!
But I wanted to think about it, but after Zhou Yuanwai really died, Zhou Bobo didn't think so anymore. Not only was he not happy, but he was almost pissed off!

It's not because he cares about his uncle too much. To him, it doesn't matter how Zhou Yuanwai dies, as long as he keeps his family property!

But unexpectedly, Zhou Yuanwai died, a result he least wanted to see!
Not only did people die, but even their family property disappeared!

Isn't this so stupid?

After waiting for so long, you give me this?

At that time, Zhou Bobo was furious, but after many inquiries, it was confirmed that the person who was cruel to Zhou Yuanwai was Zhang Twelve!

Since that day, he hated Zhang Twelve. Later, when he heard that Zhang Twelve committed suicide by throwing himself into the river in Jinling, although he was happy, he was unhappy because Zhang Twelve was dead, but Zhou Yuanwai's family property also It's gone, which makes him a little upset!
Now I suddenly heard that Zhang Twelve not only came back to life, but also went north from Jinling to Jingzhou!

When he heard the news, Zhou Bobo couldn't fall asleep all day!
This is a godsend opportunity!

He didn't believe that anyone could fight against a country by himself, and Jinling City was more prosperous than Quzhou, but its military strength was not as strong as Quzhou, and Quzhou City was still based on defense. Zhou Bobo couldn't imagine how Zhang Twelve could defeat Quzhou!
If you can't beat Quzhou, you will definitely be killed by Quzhou officers and soldiers!
At this time, Zhou Bobo once again saw the hope of Zhou Yuanwai's family property!

So he has recently gotten very close to Song Dashan, the guard of Quzhou City, and has been inviting Song Dashan to drink in private, so that he can stand on the city wall when Zhang Twelve attacks the city. line!
At that time, as long as Zhang Twelve was taken down, he would rush down and secretly ask Zhang Twelve about the whereabouts of those family properties. Wouldn't it be wonderful to take back Zhou Yuanwai's family property at that time?

I heard that Zhang Twelve has already set off, maybe it will come tomorrow?Hehe, this time he will definitely come back and forth!

Thinking of this, Zhou Bobo became even more excited!
………………

Besides, the people in Quzhou City have long been very dissatisfied with the county government's arbitrary collection of taxes.

Being reprimanded by Zhou Bobo just now added a lot of anger.

Coming out of the gate of the county government office, all the people came to a teahouse. They said it was a teahouse, but in fact they set up a big shed by the side of the road, with some tables, chairs and big bowls under the shed.

At this time, there were quite a few people inside, but looking at the sweatshirts these people were wearing and the straw sandals on their feet, it could be seen that this teahouse was considered a common people's teahouse.

Here, you can drink a large bowl of herbal tea for only a few pennies, which is refreshing and thirst-quenching. The price is there, and not many people care.

Most of the people who come here to drink tea are ordinary people who do heavy labor on weekdays. After all, those rich people go to restaurants or high-quality tea houses. How can they come to such a crappy place?

As a result, people who come to this small teahouse don't have to worry about what they say.

When these people entered the teahouse, they told the scene that happened outside the county government just now, and they were filled with righteous indignation.

When those people heard this, they also talked in a hurry.

"Collecting taxes for war? Hehe, I don't think this tax is for war, is it?"

"That's right! The Quzhou county government collects so much taxes every year, and every time they set up a name for it. The tax was collected once before, saying that it was to buy equipment for the guards in the city. How long has it been?"

"Hehe, there has been no war in Quzhou City for many years. Every year, the imperial court allocates so much military pay and collects so much tax from us. Let alone fighting a war, even the first half of the year is enough!"

"This money, if you collect it, whoever pockets it may go!"

It seems that the people of Quzhou City have long been very dissatisfied with the officials of Quzhou City, and because of this incident, everyone vented their dissatisfaction.

Everyone talked a lot, most of them were complaining about how bad Quzhou prefect and guard were, at this time, someone suddenly asked in a low voice: "Do you all know why Uncle Zhang went north this time? "

Immediately, someone couldn't wait to say: "I know, I know! I heard that the increase in our food prices was instigated by the current majesty, and Zhang Xianbo just found out about it and offended him!

That's why he hunted down Xianbo Zhang and punished the Zhang family! "

"Also, I heard that Emperor Xian and King Xiang are both..."

Everyone immediately told what they knew. It seems that what Zhang Twelve asked Wang Chengen to send has spread in every city.

"Do you think this matter is credible?"

After saying this, someone suddenly asked.

"I think it's believable! When our food prices recovered, wasn't it because of Uncle Zhang? I have a distant relative who lives in Jinling, and he was there when Uncle Zhang killed King Kang.

He said that it was because Uncle Zhang found out that the increase in grain prices had something to do with Jinling guard Sui Wuyuan, King Kang and several grain owners, so he offended them. Be strong! "

"Yes, Uncle Zhang County is the one who does practical things for our people!"

"To tell you the truth, I happened to go to Jinling a few days ago, guess what?"

"What's the matter?"

Everyone asked curiously.

"The Sui Wuyuan or Zhao Baiyu and other grain owners who participated in the rise of grain prices at the beginning have been killed by Zhang County Bo, and Jinling City can now be said to be Zhang County Bo's Jinling City!
The current prefect of Jinling, Wang Chengen, is also a member of Zhang Xianbo. As a prefect, he not only exempted the people from various taxes, but also thought of the people in every way. Now the people of Jinling are living a good life! "

Hearing this, everyone looked envious.

In fact, Quzhou City didn't collect too many taxes before, but since Tang Yizhi became emperor, all kinds of taxes have increased, so speaking of it, it's broken from the root!
Therefore, if you want to live a good life, you must no longer be under the jurisdiction of Tang Yizhi like Jinling City!

At this time, someone couldn't help but sighed with emotion: "I only hope that Zhang Xianbo can come quickly and take Quzhou City, and then it will be the same as Jinling, so that everyone can live a good life!"

"Yes, yes! I don't care what you guys do! Anyway, as long as County Uncle Zhang calls, if there is a need for me, I will help County Uncle Zhang no matter what!"

"Do you need to say that? Now who doesn't know that Uncle Zhang is a person who works for the well-being of the people in the world? If he comes, everyone will naturally help him!"

"Since that's the case, then tell me, do we need to gather everyone together, and when County Uncle Zhang attacks the city, let's join forces with Uncle Zhang, open the city gate from inside, and let Uncle Zhang enter the city directly? "

When the man said this, everyone was silent for a while.

Support is support, but if you do what this person says, it will be an uprising!
It's good that Zhang Twelve succeeds, if they don't succeed, they will have to beheaded!

After a long while, someone said: "That's unnecessary, right? I heard that Mr. Zhang Xianbo has great magical powers, and his little Li flying knife is even more superb. It's easy to get into the city!"

"Yeah yeah!"

Everyone hastened to join in.
