Chapter 245

People from Jinan?

Zhang Rong walked shoulder to shoulder with the team, but actually slowed down and pricked up his ears.

But the young man said casually: "Those Jinan people... can't."

Um?What is this nonsense?Why do you look down on Jinan people?

Zhang Rong pricked up his ears even higher.

"We all know how the Mongols treated the captive slaves. The cruelty and cruelty of the torture are probably similar to what the Jurchens did when they entered the Central Plains. Those Jinan people fell into the hands of the Mongols. Although it was only a month, I am afraid that the body is too weak to bear the heavy labor. In addition, another consequence of the wanton massacre by the Mongols is that the local disease is rampant."

A military officer with a dignified appearance next to him said: "Then I will take care of it first. According to the old rules before, first set up camps, disperse them, provide enough supplies for a few days, and let the medical officers patrol after a while. Once you are in good health, make another arrangement."

"Hmm...Brother Anmin, the common people don't need to be frugal about what they eat and drink. It's okay to give more. We are all born in poverty, don't sing high-profile things, think more thoughtfully, and treat the common people down-to-earth, which is better than anything else. "

"Okay. Don't worry about that. The things we extorted from the Mongols were originally the people's fat and anointing in Shandong, and they should be returned to the people."

"In addition, the camps are not only located in Haicang Town. Ye County, Xiyou Town, and even Jiaoshui County, Zhaoyuan County and other places have to be planned. When the conditions are ripe, people from all over the country will be mixed and resettled, and these camps will be converted on the spot. The military fort echoes the original military stronghold. The Mongols come once, and most of Shandong is as frightened as a bird. We have settled the captives that have been exchanged, and the people from all over the place will go to defect... At that time, you have to be busy gone."

The military officer laughed loudly: "The more busy you are, the better. Doing these things makes me very happy."

"Liu Cheng and Zhang Xin are assisting Brother Anmin. As mentioned before, each battalion will be set up, and auxiliary soldiers will be selected from it to conduct preliminary military training. The two of you should work hard on trivial matters."

The two officers didn't even dare to talk, they should be respectful.

The young man half turned around and called out, "Qing Jin?"

A tall man with long beard bowed slightly: "Yes."

"The people under your command should also follow up in time, and we must publicize our rules to the common people, so that they will gradually get used to our military household and shade household system."

"We have recruited a group of scholars, and with a little training, we will be able to send out publicity orders. After all, we won this match well. This fact is more powerful than word of mouth."

The young man laughed twice, and said again: "I heard that those scholars came here in the past few days?"

"Yes."

"I will take time to meet them and give them comfort and encouragement. But here, Jin Qing can't let go of his control."

"What does Jieshuai mean?"

"The reason why Mongolia is strong is that they retained the simple style of the grassland people, and obtained an efficient system under the rule of Genghis Khan. The laws and regulations were strictly enforced from top to bottom, and they were resolutely implemented. Our navy must The same should be done against powerful enemies. Therefore, I don’t need scholars who can only talk about it, and I don’t allow anyone to take scriptures and distort our government orders. Jinqing should pay close attention to them. The scholars can use them as much as they can, and even surpass them , very useful. But if you can’t use it, just throw it into the field and don’t show mercy.”

"As ordered."

The young man continued to go to the top of the gravel slope, took two steps, and remembered the topic at the beginning.

"However, the surrounding battlefields really need to be cleaned up quickly. The sea breeze is already piercing at the moment, and when the ground freezes, the work will really be impossible to do. Even if it is a Mongol, it is not appropriate to expose the corpse to the wild for a long time. Think about it Way, where can we dig out some people?"

The man with long beard pondered for a while.

"There is a way."

"Hahaha, Jin Qing can't be troubled by anything, so tell me quickly."

"Dinghai Jiedu envoy to guard and assassinate the various armies, and to judge the affairs of the town's soldiers and horses, has the authority to dispatch the troops of Dengzhou and Ninghai prefectures. Before the military affairs were urgent, we did not communicate with the local officials of the two prefectures. Exchanges, at this moment, we can write about the two states, and ask them to send troops to assist... First, to fill the vacancy of our manpower, and second, to let the two states see the majesty of our navy."

"Okay! Just do it!"

The tall young man hit each other with fists and palms, making a crackling sound.

Hearing this, Zhang Rong didn't know that this young man was Guo Ning, the envoy of Dinghai Jiedu?
He was worried that getting too close and listening too much would arouse the suspicion of Guo Ning's subordinates, so he stepped back a little and hurried towards the way they came from.

In this short period of time, he has heard a lot of ideas about the administration of the navy, and he really has a set of rules.Zhang Rong felt that he had to find a place to make a careful analysis. After going downhill, he might as well go back to the pier to see if he could meet up with Li Shibi, Li Chang and his son, and also listen to what he saw and heard after they arrived in Laizhou.

After all, Guo Ning is a high-level military and political official, no matter how lazy he is to put on airs, there are a lot of guards and servants around him.The civil and military officials who followed Guo Ning also had their own subordinates.

Zhang Rong walked past Li Xu, many guards and subordinate officials passed him in twos and threes.Seeing Zhang Rong's expression was calm, looking straight ahead, they thought he was a servant who had returned to the camp for something, so they didn't ask any more questions.

However, among the last few guards, a tall and strong man walked up to Zhang Rong and stopped suddenly.

"Ok?"

Zhang Rong was startled, not knowing where there was an omission.He turned his head slightly to look at the tall guard's face, and only cried out bitterly.

This tall guard really recognized Zhang Rong.

Zhang Rong also recognized him.This man's name is Dong Jin, and he is a well-known hunter along the Xiaoqing River in the east of Changbai Mountain. The two families are close neighbors.When Zhang Rong smuggled salt, sometimes he needed extra manpower to cover him, and he often recruited hunters to help him with money and silk.Although Dong Jin is young, his skills are strong. In the past two years, he has cooperated with Zhang Rong several times.

When did Dong Jin vote for Dinghai?Also mixed into Guo Ning's guard queue?
This action is really fast... Everyone is obviously a good neighbor and a good partner, and you don't even say hello to me!

At that moment, Zhang Rong squeezed out a smile, and bowed his hands to Dong Jin again and again.

He was a guest who followed Monk Luo to Haicang Town with the idea of ​​defecting, and he thought he had no malicious intentions, and he didn't need to hide his identity.However, it was too embarrassing for a powerful party who commanded thousands of soldiers and civilians to go to Haicang Town in disguise to inquire, and was recognized by the guards around Guo Ning.

Dong Jin was stunned, his expression changed twice.Another guard next to him patted his shoulder and spoke, but he didn't respond at all.

This little doll is so tender!In this way, even if he didn't say anything, it would still be suspicious!

Zhang Rong smiled wryly and was hesitating whether to reveal his identity. When he went back to meet Guo Ning, he heard an old voice on the top of the slope shouting again and again: "Did you see it? It's the one with the scar on his face." ! He is a spy!"

Zhang Rong raised his head, and found that the one who yelled was the old man Hu Donkey who was carrying the basket together just now.

And Xu Zhuer, who looks like his grandson, but is actually a neighbor's child, is also jumping beside him.

At this moment, Zhang Rong felt that the arrow wound on his face was extremely painful.

Why is this necessary?After all, we all had a good relationship!

You people, are you all so attentive?Do you really regard Dinghai as your own?
Zhang Rong looked around, and saw a group of lightly armored and agile soldiers running down from Gaopo, and several people around him looked at him, just like the inspectors of the Imperial Salt Bureau, staring at the private salt dealers. .

He quickly raised his hands: "Come on! Come on! This is a misunderstanding!"

"Boss Zhang, I'm sorry!"

Zhang Rong was still yelling, Dong Jin muttered, and he came up and put Zhang Rong down.

Then several people rushed forward and tied Zhang Rong tightly.

"Okay, okay, caught! Haha, caught two today!"

Zhang Rong was a little panicked, and shouted again and again: "I am Zhang Rong from Jinan, and I am your General Luo. No, Master Hui Feng invited you here! You arrested the wrong person!"

There was a commotion all around, most of the light armored soldiers in that team were in high spirits, how could anyone listen to what he had to say?
"Is there another one? Bring it too!"

"It just so happens that Jieshuai is here, please take a look at the spies we caught!"

"We caught two in one day!"

Amidst the yelling, the team behind gave way.Someone brought over a wooden pole, on which four horses hooved upside down and one person was tied upside down.Zhang Rong looked at it intently, only to find it absurd: "Isn't this Dongping Mansion's strict prosecution and arrest of thieves?"

This person is Yan Shi from a hundred households in Dongping Mansion and an acquaintance of Zhang Rong.

When Yan Shi was young, he joined the army and went to the border to fight. After returning to his hometown, because of his unrestrained ambition, he died of childbirth, and liked to make friends and give to others, so that his family was often down and out; He was caught in prison, and he got away with the local hero's little effort.

Such a person, of course, must have friendship with Zhang Rong, a private salt dealer, so the two know each other.

After the Mongolian army entered Shandong, Zhang Rong led his subordinates to guard Hongtangling, while Yan Shi responded to the recruitment of Huang Sangwudian, the governor of the Tianping Army in Dongping Prefecture, and guarded Dong'e, Pingyin, Changqing, etc. The land became an outpost against the Mongolian army in the direction of Dongping Mansion.

Who would have imagined that Yan Shi also came to Laizhou and ended up in such a mess?

Both of them were tied up, pushing and shoving one after the other and walking up the high slope.

Yan Shi's skills are very good. When he was arrested, he probably resisted the arrest, but he suffered a lot. Now his eyes are bruised and his mouth is crooked.His hands and feet were tied upside down, he tilted his head upside down, barely saw Zhang Rong, and asked repeatedly: "Boss Zhang, why are you here?"

"..." Zhang Rong didn't know how to answer for a while.

Yan Shi hurriedly said: "I have a family friend, Li Shibi from Xucheng in Dongping. They were plundered by the Mongolian army and used to attack Pingyin County, but the Mongols suddenly withdrew their troops and handed them over to Laizhou. I am afraid that among them, some What a mess... Boss Zhang, if you can get away, you must help me find someone, and help me take care of someone! I will definitely remember this kindness!"

This guy is well-deserved of his reputation, he really values ​​friendship and loyalty, and at this time he still wants to take care of his friends.but……

Li Sebi?
Zhang Rong only felt it was ridiculous: "Your family friend Li Shibi, does he have a child named Li Chang? Both father and son are scholars, full of knowledge?"

"Boss Zhang, do you also recognize his father and son?"

Zhang Rong ignored him, and turned to the soldiers next to him and said repeatedly: "I am really Master Hui Feng's guest, I just got off the ship! Military men, you have arrested the wrong person, both of you are wrong! Really, really! Let go of me, or I won't look good in front of Jie Shuai."
