Beiyang new warlord

Where to go, the fat county magistrate had to think hard.Sitting in the county office, Gong Hao was as impotent as a watermelon on the Grand Master's chair, while shaking his fan, he was still moaning and moaning.

"Everyone's a goddamn uncle! I'm the only one who is Sesame! A few boys dare to point my nose and make a fuss. What's the point of being an official?"

However, when Zhima was also powerful, just when he was at a loss, suddenly there were a few knocks on the door softly, and then, a man who was about as fat as him, wore a red velvet robe, and a melon skin hat inlaid with a piece of bad jade. The treacherous rat with its whiskers curled up, walked in with a smile like the flesh of a watermelon, cupped its fists and nestled in its stomach, and bowed hard even looking at it.

"Dong Weng! Master Liu is here to urge Songjiang County to escort Qian Gu there!"

At this time, the situation in Nanjing is that Ma Shiying and Ma Yaocao on the anti-Donglin side are even more victorious, contacting the three towns in the north of the Yangtze River to force the palace, and secure the position of the first assistant university scholar, forcing the Donglin side's former Minister of the Nanjing Military Department, Dongge University scholar , the well-known Shi Kefa can no longer stand.

On the issue of support, Shi Kefa proposed that the King of Fu should not be established at all, and waited for Ma Shiying's army to overwhelm the border. Supporting King Fu only changed his position when it was the general trend. He had already lost Zhu Yousong's trust by nature. , looking down on generals and eunuchs, let Ma Shiying, who is more flexible, win over the three towns in Jiangbei first. In terms of military power, Donglin is at an absolute disadvantage.

In order to make up for this, Donglin Kejin's attack on Mao Jue was actually aimed at scaring Mao Jue into their side and fighting against Ma Shiying. A few days ago, he moved the battalion to Yangzhou.

But since they came to win over the three towns in the north of the Yangtze River, they would naturally have to bleed, so they had to take money and pay for them to take care of them. Where did the money and food come from? Of course, they were collected from various places in the south of the Yangtze River, and they were forcibly shown off in various counties.

But the problem is that the Donglin Party screams loudly, and when they really take the money, they are reluctant to part with each other. In Songjiang County, more than [-]% of the land is lost to Qian, Yang, Liu, and Zhao. There are a lot of officials, they are exempted from taxes, and the remaining one-tenth of the land is starved to death, and they can’t afford the military rations apportioned by Shi Kefa. It’s hard for a smart woman to cook without rice. , can only come to his boss with a smile on his face.

It's a pity that when he came, he happened to be full of anger, and the county magistrate Gong Hao poured a cup of tea in annoyance. The teacher, Zhao Jin, hadn't finished speaking, and the hot water was solid Sprayed all over the face.

After pouring tea, Gong Hao still yelled and cursed: "I'm in charge of important affairs of the court, and I'm bothered by such small things as money and food. What's the use of asking you, a lowly official?"

"You can do it yourself, if you can't do it, pack up and leave!"

"Yes! Dong Weng taught you a very good lesson!"

It's really professional ethics, the tea leaves fell down his chubby face, the teacher didn't wipe it off, then nodded and bowed with a smile and backed out, but as soon as he closed the door, his face couldn't help but gloomy.

People are not machines, who has no dignity and temper?This is really called a naked slap in the face!With a gloomy face, he went straight back to the signing room, but looking at the ledger on the table, his expression turned down again.

The people have no food, and the big family can't afford it. If he is asked to solve it by himself, what will he do to solve it?

Just when Zhao Jin was at a loss, there was another knock on the door unexpectedly.

"Master! Xiao Si came here just now and sent a letter, saying it was written by your old friend Liu Weng in Dongxiang!"

After following Dong Qichang, Master, Liu Botao was a bit famous. Hearing the application, Zhao Jin couldn't help sighing, and waved his hand and said, "Bring it in!"

If you really can't get along here with Gong Hao, it is also a way to try your luck with his big brother. With the power of the Dong family, it is easy to find a county magistrate, and a county magistrate must be a master like him, muttering , Zhao Jin slowly opened the handwritten book, but after just a few glances, his eyes became straight, and then the reading became brighter and brighter. At the end of the reading, he simply stood up like a ball.

This master is also a decisive person, he turned around a few times with his hands behind his back, threw the seal on the table, and immediately slipped out of the county office.

"Tweety, take the kids and pack some soft things, we have to hurry up and get on the road, hurry up!"

In the early morning of the next day, Gong Hao kicked open the door of the county government's bonded house with a sullen face, roaring angrily, like a chocolate volcano cake.

"A little money and food have not been resolved until now, Master Zhao has to find this official, you master"

"What about people?"

Looking at the empty signing room, Gong Hao almost fainted out of breath, and then he yelled at the head arrester angrily.

"Captain Li! Go to Mr. Zhao's house and tell him to come and see me right away!"

"Yes, my lord!"

A few catchers left the county government office, but came back sadly after a while, fisting their hands in the most helpless way.

"Master! Mr. Zhao is not at home either. Looking at his house, it seems that he has cleaned up and moved!"

"Ran?"

Gong Hao yelled again in disbelief, and immediately waved his hand again angrily.

"Send someone to the Zeng family and tell them that the master Zhao they introduced has run away. I want him to find no more work in the officialdom! In addition, let the Zeng family quickly recommend the two masters to the official. !"

"Yes, my lord!"

The policemen nodded and bowed again, full of anxiety about standing in line, County Magistrate Gong forgot about the trivial matters of the county government in a blink of an eye. Anyway, there are plenty of shabby literati, and someone will come to clean up the mess in two days.

Who knew, two days later, it turned out to be forever!

With a bang, Mr. Li, who was sent by Shi Kefa to collect money and food, smashed the seal on the table angrily, roaring and roaring.

"Songjiang County, the Minister of the Cabinet issued an order half a month ago, and now there is no money or food! Could it be that you, the county magistrate, are tired of being crooked and disobeying orders?"

"My lord, calm down and be happy! This little one has already been confiscated. In these two days, the food and grass will be delivered within two days!"

"Just two days, if you don't see any more food, I will immediately dismiss you and investigate!"

A cold sweat broke out from the fright, the fat on his body seemed to have lost half a catty, beads of sweat protruded from his back, watching Mr. Li leave the county office, he roared extremely sadly.

"Is there no news from the Zeng family? Is it so difficult to find a master?"

With the same complexion as his face, Catcher Li also said sadly: "There is no news yet. The master has gone to hell for the past few days. I don't know where the senior masters have gathered. The Zeng family said that they have sent people to Shaoxing. I searched for it in Huzhou, the soonest, it will be next month!"

"next month!"

Normally, he was either reciting poems or composing right or eating, drinking and having fun. He didn't know anything about the name of the punishment for carrying the grain. Looking at the ledgers in the room, the magistrate Gong almost went crazy for a while.

But what he doesn't know is that the unlucky ones don't know that his family has more than 60 counties along the Yangtze River, and more than 40 of them are similar to him. There was a flurry of panic, and suddenly the originally prosperous lower-class talents in the south of the Yangtze River suddenly withered, and the romantic and famous people who left the master and couldn't even leave the local government immediately messed up the local government.

Among them, the one with the greatest impact is Shi Kefa, the governor of Yangzhou!

Chapter 6 and Five. Bandit Employment

The reason for the rapid disintegration of Nanming is the warlordization. The military generals in the Chongzhen period saw the civil servants walking with their heads down, and the generals in the Hongguang period saw the civil servants walking with their necks stalked, especially Shi Kefa. It made the generals arrogant to the limit.

Early in the morning, Yangzhou City was full of yelling and roaring, interspersed with screams, and a few minutes later, a large number of soldiers rushed over, their spears slammed forward, But he didn't dare to go in and take care of it, so he could only shout at the top of his voice outside.

"Yangzhou Warlord Shige is here! You still dare to be fierce!"

Shi Kefa's face was also not good, and a big soldier inside held a handle and pecked it several times, and then he turned his head and threw the bloody one aside in resentment.He waved his hand fiercely behind him.

"His mother's bad luck, go with me!"

While cursing and cursing, he threw down the people in Yangzhou Xingyuan who were lying on the ground, and dozens of soldiers rushed directly at the vent point in a rough manner.

He didn't dare to pierce at all, amidst the sound of footsteps, the surrounding standard battalion retreated awkwardly again, giving way to a passage, allowing these wild soldiers to rush out in arrogance.

"Listen, you dirty officials, I'm a soldier who gets paid! Next time I don't get paid, I'll burn this place of yours!"

If they openly threatened to burn officials and family members during the reign of Chongzhen, a few heads would not be enough to cut off, but here, the civil servants really have nothing to do, and even Shi Kefa didn't even show his face, just watching them walk away.

It's not like he's stage fright, there's nothing he can do about it, the main purpose now is to win over the three towns in Jiangbei to fight against Ma Shiying and to reactivate Ruan Dacheng, who is sharpening his sword and eager to take revenge. The soldiers of Huang Degong's battalion are still so rebellious, should he kill or not?If you don't kill him, the superintendent will completely lose his majesty! If you kill him, you will completely tear your face with Huang Degong.

He was full of anger, so he had no choice but to vent it on the subordinates. In this military camp, Mr. Li, the head of the household department who had been beaten up, just came out with a bruised nose and a swollen face, and Shi Kefa was full of reproaches. asked.
