Chapter 723 Appointment (please subscribe!)
Just when Zhang Twelve was wondering, the clever little black fat man who spoke before couldn't see it, and said: "Uncle Zhang, Brother Qiu turned out to be our deputy general in Quzhou City, and he has a high prestige in the army. Brothers Dissatisfied with Song Dashan, but no one dissatisfied with Brother Qiu!"

"Oh? Since he is a lieutenant general, why did he say he has no official position?"

"Uncle Zhang, it all starts with Song Dashan!"

"Forget it, let me say it!"

Before the little black fat man could speak, he was interrupted by Qiu Zhengdao, and then he heard Qiu Zhengdao speak slowly.

It turned out that although Qiu Zhengdao was Song Dashan's deputy general, he was very dissatisfied with many of Song Dashan's practices, such as the extra tax collection, Qiu Zhengdao repeatedly opposed it.

At the beginning, Song Dashan thought that Qiu Zhengdao was jealous when he saw that he collected so many taxes into his pocket!

At that time, he didn't take it seriously, because for him, things that can be solved with money will never be called things!
So he promised that in the future, as long as he collects more taxes, he will give Qiu Zhengdao [-]% of the money!
This [-]% seems not much, but because Song Dashan collects taxes from time to time in Quzhou City, the accumulation of small amount becomes more, after this year, [-]% of taxes is much more than Qiu Zhengdao's salary, so in From Song Dashan's point of view, this is a fat job that no one refuses!

But what he didn't expect was that Qiu Zhengdao really refused!

This was undoubtedly a slap in the face of Song Dashan, which made Song Dashan very upset.

Of course, taxes should still be collected, even if Qiu Zhengdao objects - what's the use of his objection?In Song Dashan's eyes, Qiu Zhengdao is nothing more than a dog under his command, so why should he listen to a dog for what he does?If you make him anxious, kill the dog!
But because of this incident, Song Dashan began to gradually distance himself from his lieutenant general. If it weren't for the lack of suitable candidates under his command, Song Dashan would have removed Qiu Zhengdao's position as lieutenant long ago!

But even if he did not withdraw, he would no longer use Qiu Zhengdao again. For many important matters, he deliberately did not seek Qiu Zhengdao, and although Qiu Zhengdao still had the title of lieutenant general, it was actually useless.

And just two days ago, Song Dashan finally found a suitable candidate, that is, Zhou Bobo, Zhou Yuanwai's nephew who was shot dead by Zhang Twelve on the city wall. Zhengdao's position as lieutenant general was removed, and Zhou Bobo became a lieutenant general in one step!

Therefore, Qiu Zhengdao is really without an official or a job now!

Zhang Twelve heard this, and thought that this is really a good time. This Qiu Zhengdao was a deputy general before, and he has some experience, and all the officers and soldiers in the city know him, and his prestige is also very high. If he is selected as the new general of Quzhou City If so, it can be said to be more effective with less effort, seamless connection!

So he smiled and said: "Qiu Zhengdao, if I let you be the guard of Quzhou City, can you do well?"

"Uncle Zhang... this... I..."

Qiu Zhengdao obviously didn't think that he would encounter such a good thing, he just froze on the spot, he even hesitated to speak.

"Now I am employing people, because I want to go north to Jingzhou, and I can't stay here for a long time, so I need a trustworthy person to help me guard Quzhou, can you?"

Seeing Zhang Twelve's trust in him, Qiu Zhengdao was very moved, thought for a while, and then said firmly: "Uncle Zhang, I can do it! But I hope that I can follow in your footsteps with the officers and soldiers of Quzhou City and kill you together." Go to Jingzhou! For the late emperor, for the common people of the world, kill Tang Yizhi!"

Qiu Zhengdao saw that the officers and soldiers brought by Zhang Twelve were only more than a thousand people, so he thought of bringing the officers and soldiers of Quzhou to help him.

Zhang Twelve smiled and waved his hands, "No need!"

Then he looked at Qiu Zhengdao and asked, "When I attacked the city just now, were you on the city wall?"

Qiu Zhengdao nodded, but his face was a little red, because when the first wave of people fled under the city wall just now, he also wanted to escape with him, but Song Dashan stopped them before they reached him. .

So he stood passively on the city wall.

But if this kind of thing is said, let others know that he is a soft guy who ran away, of course he would be embarrassed.

But Zhang Twelve didn't pay attention to his face, but continued: "Since you are on the city wall, you should have seen it. You have tens of thousands of officers and soldiers in Quzhou, plus the city wall, you are not worth mentioning in front of me." !"

After saying this, there was a silence in the hall.

Zhang Twelve's words were full of momentum, but to the officers and soldiers of Quzhou, there was a sense of slap in the face. After Zhang Twelve finished speaking, logically speaking, as the defender of the city, he should feel ashamed!

But they were facing Zhang Twelve, and because they were happy to see Zhang Twelve win, they didn't dislike his words, they just felt a little shocked!

Just now Zhang Twelve used a black cylindrical iron object from under the city wall to induce thunder to blow up the city wall.

Qiu Zhengdao nodded solemnly, and said: "It turned out that I only heard that Uncle Zhang's Xiao Li Feidao could defeat the Xiliang cavalry and force Xiliang to reconcile with Datang. At that time, many people doubted it!
But if word of Zhang Xianbo's siege of the city today spreads, no one will doubt it anymore! "

Zhang Twelve smiled, and then said: "So, there are not many soldiers, but the most valuable! If I am not sure, I will not take so many officers and soldiers out of the city!
Therefore, it is better for General Qiu to stay in Quzhou honestly. First, everyone trusts and supports you, and it is most suitable for you to take over Quzhou City.Furthermore, if I leave, Tang Yizhi will send someone over again. With you here, I don't have to worry about Tang Yizhi taking over Quzhou again!

The most important point is that I don't think you are a person who oppresses the people. I can rest assured that you are the parent officer of Quzhou City! "

Hearing that Zhang Twelve trusted him so much, and directly called him "Qiu Shoujiang", he obviously recognized him. Qiu Zhengdao was so excited that he couldn't sit still, and immediately stood up to show his loyalty: "Don't worry, Uncle Zhang, As long as you let me be the guard of Quzhou City, I will definitely not raid the people, exempt from taxes, and let the people live a good life!"

After hearing this, Zhang Twelve nodded in relief.

Hearing that Qiu Zhengdao was designated by Zhang Twelve as the new guard of Quzhou City, the officers and soldiers cheered and cheered. They usually call Qiu Zhengdao Big Brother, even when he is not a lieutenant general, they still call him as usual, which shows their respect for Qiu Zhengdao support.

Now that their eldest brother has become the guard of Quzhou, how can they be unhappy?

………………

When everyone was excited, only Hao Zhengyi felt a little disappointed.

Zhang Twelve asked him to follow him, and Hao Zhengyi's mind began to turn, thinking that Zhang Twelve would definitely not call him for no reason, and he would definitely entrust him with a heavy responsibility!

He also thought that Song Dashan had just died, but now there is only one guard in Quzhou City. Could it be that Zhang Twelve would let him be the guard of Quzhou?
If you think about this kind of thing carefully, it seems impossible, but once this kind of thought appears in your mind, you can't linger!
When he heard that Zhang Twelve asked Qiu Zhengdao to be the guard, Hao Zhengyi just woke up like a dream, and curled his lips with some self-deprecating, and said to himself secretly: Hao Zhengyi, you really dare to think!An ordinary commoner, who can't even fight, really thinks he can be a general?
Just when Hao Zhengyi was laughing at himself, Zhang Twelve happened to notice his expression, so he said with a smile: "Hao Zhengyi, are you a little disappointed?"

"Ah—no...not disappointed!"

Hao Zhengyi was dazed at first, and then immediately replied: "Uncle Zhang, the young one is just a commoner, although he is a little smart, but he is more self-aware, a rough person like me can only do some rough work!

County Uncle Zhang, if you don’t mind, this time you are going north to Jingzhou, I implore Zhang Xianbo to take me with you! "

Hao Zhengyi made up his mind, following Zhang Twelve, there will definitely be a lot of benefits in the future, if he really wins Jingzhou and kills Tang Yizhi, won't he be a founding father in the future?

Who knows, Zhang Twelve still didn't promise him.

Zhang Twelve shook his head and said, "No, I can keep you for other uses!"

Then he opened his mouth and asked: "In addition to the guard Song Dashan, there should be a magistrate in Quzhou City, right? Why have I never heard of a magistrate when I came to the city?"

In a city, civil officials, prefects, and military generals are indispensable. The combination of the two is the real father and mother of a city.

Generally speaking, the guard is only responsible for things like guarding the city, and the prefect is in charge of collecting taxes and other things, but why did he hear that Song Dashan was a guard after he came to Quzhou? He even takes care of things like collecting taxes!

This is really a bit unbelievable!
Hearing Zhang Twelve's question, Qiu Zhengdao immediately replied: "Uncle Zhang Xian knows something now!"

Then, as if thinking of something, he shook his head and continued: "Of course there is a magistrate in the city, but this magistrate is like a fake, it only cares about getting money, and doesn't care about anything else!"

Therefore, Qiu Zhengdao and Zhang Twelve poured out bitter water.

He didn't understand until Zhang Twelve had finished listening.

It turned out that there was indeed a magistrate surnamed Feng in Quzhou City, but this prefect may have seen Song Dashan's strong background, in order to please Song Dashan and save trouble for himself.So I simply let Song Dashan do everything, and he simply became a hands-off shopkeeper. Although he has the name of the magistrate, he doesn't have to do anything, and Song Dashan will give him money every month. Prefect Feng is so beautiful!
Hearing this, Zhang Twelve was not only not angry, but smiled.

It couldn't be better!

So he laughed loudly and said: "Since this prefect Feng is so inactive, what use is he for?"

Then he glanced at Hao Zhengyi and said, "Hao Zhengyi, if you are asked to take over the position of Feng, maybe you can do it?"

"This……"

Hao Zhengyi never expected that Zhang Twelve would leave him the position of magistrate. He was still immersed in disappointment, but now such a big surprise came suddenly, and he was a little dazed.

But after adjusting, he looked at Zhang Twelve firmly and said, "As long as County Uncle Zhang thinks highly of the young one, that young one will definitely not disappoint Uncle Zhang. He will go through fire and water for Uncle Zhang, and he will not hesitate!"

Zhang Twelve smiled and shook his head and said: "Wrong, you are not for me, but for the welfare of the people in Quzhou City, and for the people in Quzhou City to live a better life, you have to work harder! "

Hao Zhengyi listened and nodded again and again.

Zhang Twelve stood up and said, "Since that's the case, then it's decided! Anyway, we have nothing to do now, so let's go to the magistrate together to hand over this matter!"

"it is good!"

At this moment, Hao Zhengyi's blood was surging, and he immediately echoed, and walked out with Zhang Twelve.

………………

The magistrate's mansion was not too far from the guard's mansion, and Zhang Twelve and the others walked there in a short while.

The catchers outside the magistrate were all lazily leaning against the wall, very lazy.

Zhang Twelve frowned, and was spotted by Hao Zhengyi, and quickly said, "Don't worry, Uncle Zhang, after I take office, this situation will definitely not happen again!"

Zhang Twelve nodded and continued to walk inside.

At this time, the police officers realized that they immediately bowed from the wall and stood in front of Zhang Twelve.

"Who are you? Why dare you break into the prefect's court?"

The catcher glanced at Zhang Twelve, feeling his face was tense, but when he looked back at Qiu Zhengdao and the people behind him, he was immediately stunned.

He didn't know Zhang Twelve, but he knew Qiu Zhengdao, so he frowned and asked, "Qiu Zhengdao, why are you here?"

According to the arrester's understanding, at this moment, Qiu Zhengdao should follow Song Dashan to guard the city wall, why did he appear here?
Could it be that Song Dashan has repelled Zhang Twelve who came to attack the city?
Ah!
That's a little bit powerful!
Unexpectedly, Song Dashan didn't seem to have much ability on weekdays, but he really fought a war, and he was unambiguous, and he was also a good player!

However, even if Song Dashan wins the battle, this Qiu Zhengdao is just an ordinary guard now. Speaking of which, his position is equivalent to his own, so he can't forcefully break into the magistrate's court!

"You don't need to ask too much! Is Prefect Feng in court?"

Qiu Zhengdao didn't look at the arrester directly from the beginning to the end, but asked in a cold voice, full of momentum.

When the arrester heard it quickly, he was unhappy at the time!
what!Still playing tricks on me?
So he said in a cold voice: "I don't need to tell you whether Zhifu Feng is here! Besides, even if your Song Shoufu is coming, we have to let us inform you. What are you? Prefect? ​​Are you not afraid that Prefect Feng will find out about this and if you speak to General Song, you will be punished?"

"Bold!"

As soon as the policeman finished speaking, before Qiu Zhengdao could answer, an officer and soldier behind him couldn't stand it any longer!
Qiu Zhengdao is the current guard of Quzhou City, and the policeman in front of him is worthless compared to him, it is really bold to dare to talk to him like this!
