Fenghou

His eyes rolled quickly, how did he get these twenty copies of "Beijing News"?After thinking for a while, there is a solution.

Jia Yingfang stepped forward with a smile and said, "The county lord should hand over these newspapers to the humble officials! I have a way to ask the county lord to give Mr. Qin an explanation."

Wang Bo cheered up, "What can you do?"

Jia Yingfang whispered: "Isn't there thousands of old mansion newspapers piled up in the warehouse? The humble official burned them all, pretending to be the confiscated "Beijing News", and then burned these newspapers together, leaving a few unburned We reported to Mr. Qin that we had confiscated [-] copies of the "Beijing News" and burned them openly. If Mr. Qin did not believe it, we would send someone to check, and the few corners of the newspaper that were not completely burned would be evidence."

Wang Bo applauded and laughed loudly, "A brilliant plan! Let's do it now."

Jia Yingfang was taken aback, how could he reap the benefits if he was really burned?He hurriedly said: "The county lord should not come forward for the time being, it will attract a lot of people's attention, there are too many people, and the humble official is worried that it will be heard by Qin Xianggong, so it is better to let the humble official burn it, and the county lord will come forward after the burning is over. Pull some people to watch and pretend."

"Okay! You can deal with it!" Wang Bo waved his hand.

Jia Yingfang quickly picked up the newspaper, secretly happy that she got the two hundred coins.

At this moment, the archers all came galloping towards Ma Song and said repeatedly: "Mr. County, good news, we have found clues."

Wang Bo didn't know how to investigate by himself, but he left the matter to his subordinates to investigate. The archer is the head of Wu Song's position, the chief of the County Public Security Bureau.

"What clues did you find?" Wang Bo's mood has improved, and the sleepiness all over his body has been swept away.

"County Lord, please read!" Ma Song handed a book to Wang Bo.

Wang Bo took the book and glanced at it, "What does "The Monkey King Havoc in Heaven" mean?"

Jia Yingfang next to her was startled, and hastily and quietly pulled out a newspaper and put it on the table.

Ma Song quickly said: ""The Monkey King Havoc in Heaven" is a serialized novel in the "Beijing News", the person who printed this book must be the person who printed the "Beijing News"."

Wang Bo slapped his forehead and said happily, "Where is the novel printed?"

"It's written in the book, Bowen Printing House, the villain knows, it's on Jiqian Street."

"Take all the brothers and arrest people now."

Seeing that Wang Bo didn't read the newspaper at all, Jia Yingfang quietly took back the newspaper for ten cents!

"Your Majesty, why don't we divide our troops into two groups, burn the newspapers in humble positions, and take people to the printing house!"

"can!"

Wang Bo is no longer interested in burning newspapers, he wants to arrest people, and if he catches people, he can completely deal with them.

"let's go!"

A moment later, Wang Bo rode his horse and led dozens of archers towards Jiqian Street...

The Bowen Printing House is neither big nor small, but it is still somewhat famous in the printing industry, otherwise Dutou Ma Song would not know about it.

The proprietor of the Printing House is Hu Yuan, whose style name is Bowen. The Printing House is named after him. He is an old man of nearly 60 years old. Both the people and the shop moved from Bianliang to Lin'an.

When dozens of archers rushed in through the gate and pushed him to the ground, his old arm was almost broken. Hu Yuan was so frightened that he was scared out of his wits and shouted: "I didn't break the law, what are you doing?"

At this time, Wang Bo walked in and took a look. There was only a young man in a blue cloth in the store, and a few waiters, all of them were stunned.

Satisfied, Wang Bo smacked Hu Yuan's face with the book in his hand, and asked coldly, "You printed this?"

Hu Yuan glanced at the book cover, nodded, "Yes!"

"Where is the person who entrusted you to print this book? He is a felon wanted by the court. If you are his accomplice, your entire family will be executed."

Wang Bo talked nonsense, he didn't know the other party's surname or name at all, and he was a repeat offender at the court!

But Hu Yuan was frightened. When he took the printing job, he knew it was risky. It was only because he couldn't refuse the other party's offer that he took it.

At this moment, Hu Yuan's life was at the top of his mind, and he said hastily, "He lives in the Chengnan branch of Gaosheng Inn, you can find out when you go and ask."

Wang Bo was overjoyed, and asked again: "His name?"

Hu Yuan was startled, he didn't even know the other party's name, what a fart he wanted!He immediately realized that he had been deceived by the famous magistrate.

But the words had already come out of his mouth, so he had no choice but to say bitterly: "His surname is also Hu, and his name is Hu Zunrong. He has two attendants who seem to know some martial arts. Be careful yourself."

"If you hand over the rigidity of that book, it will be none of your business."

"They brought the board for that book by themselves. The newspaper has only been out for a few days. How can I engrave it in time?"

Wang Bo was right when he thought about it, he was not reconciled, and extorted another ten taels of silver, and then led his men towards the south gate.

After the other party left, Hu Yuan said to the young man in blue next to him, "Brother Hu, I'm sorry!"

Hu Zunrong, who Wang Bo wanted to arrest, was the young man in blue next to him. The printing boards he was looking for were also piled up on the table. Because the books were selling well, Hu Zunrong wanted to print another [-] sets, and he was negotiating the price with the shopkeeper Hu. Woolen cloth!Wang Bo rushed in.

"Shopkeeper Hu, who is this! He is anticlimactic in his work."

Of course Hu Zunrong is a pseudonym. His real name is Hu Yun. He is the manager of Jingzhao Newspaper stationed in Lin'an. He is fully responsible for the distribution of "Jingbao" in Lin'an. The fire, it is estimated that Lin'an will also be popular, and the profit from selling books has exceeded that of newspapers. Of course, Yang Tianfang is also very concerned about this book.

Hu Yuan sighed, "He is the county magistrate of Qiantang, Qin Hui's nephew, Wang Bo, a well-known playboy in Lin'an, and a goddam magistrate, as you can see, he won't let go of even ten taels of silver."

"It's okay, we will pay for the loss of ten taels of silver. You didn't betray me just now, it's very righteous."

Hu Yuan was really embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "I just told you where you live, don't worry about it!"

Hu Yun smiled slightly and said: "That inn is just used to hide people's eyes and ears, and there are only two vacant rooms. I actually don't live there."

Hu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, "Be careful, I guess they didn't come here to print books, they must be looking for newspapers, your newspapers have turned Lin'an upside down these two days."

Hu Yuan is not a fool, he knows that the other party must be the publisher of "Beijing News", otherwise how could there be a full set of boards for "Monkey King Havoc in Heaven"?

Hu Yun also realized that he was too hasty to print the book, and now the newspaper is in the limelight, so he gave the other party a clue.

He took out an ingot of ten taels of silver, put it on the table and said, "I'll take the board first, and we will continue to cooperate after the limelight passes."

Hu Yuan cupped his hands, "This is also my suggestion to you. Avoid the limelight first, and talk about the book printing later."

Hu Yun immediately called two of his subordinates who were drinking tea in the backyard, and the three of them packed up the carved panels and left in an ox cart.

Chapter 813 Exchange

After entering February, it was early spring, and Datong Mansion began to be lively. The Han slaves brought from Liaodong arrived in Datong Mansion one after another. There are still ten days.

In addition to the exchange of nobles this time, there is also the exchange of captured soldiers for captive Bianliang Han slaves. There are a total of 500 people, not only ordinary people, but also foreign relatives, officials and their families. In ten years, foreign relatives He officials basically died, and their children and descendants were also regarded as slaves.

A total of 10,000+ people were taken away that year. Most of them could not withstand the severe cold climate in Liaodong, and died one after another in ten years. Only [-]% of the remaining people were Han Chinese who survived.

The representative of the Kingdom of Jin who was in charge of the exchange this time was Grand Master Wanyan Zongpan. Wanyan Zongpan was the eldest son of Jin Taizong Wanyan Sheng.

However, the reform was strongly opposed by Wanyan Zongjun, Wanyan Nianhan and others, so they had to give up. In the end, Wanyan Quan, the eldest grandson of Taizu Wanyan Aguda, and Wanyan Zongjun's eldest son, succeeded to the throne.

Unexpectedly, after Wanyan Quan ascended the throne, he immediately promoted the restructuring, and Wanyan Zongpan firmly opposed it. If there was no restructuring, Wanyan Zongpan's son would probably ascend the throne in the future, but once the system was reformed, there would be no chance again.

However, most of the clans were in favor of reforming the system. Wanyan Zongpan was unable to support himself alone. The Kingdom of Jin finally abolished the Bojilie system and changed it to the system of three provinces and six departments of the Han people.

The emperor Wanyan Quan treated Zongpan not badly, he was named King of Song Dynasty, Grand Master, and in charge of the power of the three provinces, Wanyan Zongpan had to face the reality and be a courtier honestly.

This morning, the last batch of 1000 Han slaves arrived in Datong, along with Wan Yanchang. Upon receiving the news, Wanyan Zongqing hurriedly went outside the city to welcome Wan Yanchang.

The two of them are the main peace faction in the Kingdom of Jin, and they are also political allies, against the main combat faction of Wanyan Zongjun, Wanyan Zongqian, Wanyan Nianhan and Wanyan Wushu.

Wan Yanchang has been dismissed as the right prime minister, and his three provincial affairs have also been replaced by Wanyan Zongqian. Now he is Marshal Zuodu, replacing Nianhan in charge of Hebei. He came here this time to receive prisoners of war. He persuaded the emperor that these three Wan Nuzhen prisoners of war will stay in Hebei.

"Is Tarlan already impatient?"

Wanyan Zongpan laughed loudly, stepped forward and hugged Wanyanchang.

When the two met, Wan Yanchang smiled wryly and said, "I'm afraid that the night will be long and dreamy, and someone is also planning on these prisoners of war. I can't be careless."

"Wushu?" Wanyan Zongpan asked with a smile.

Wan Yanchang nodded, "He said that his Jurchen army was short of troops and asked for 15 more Jurchen troops, but you also know that the court's direct Jurchen army only has 3 Hezhameng'an troops, and the rest are miscellaneous troops. Wushu Don’t you know, isn’t his meaning obvious? He wants 3 people, but these [-] people are the Hedong Jurchen army and my subordinates, so how could I give it to him.”

Wanyan Zongpan frowned slightly and said, "Is our Jurchen military strength so severe?"

Wan Yanchang sighed, "Our Jurchen population is only 50. After the Liao Dynasty was destroyed, the population increased to 500 million. We claim to have a strength of 30, but the real Jurchen army is the Hezha Meng'an Army. They are the emperor's personal guards and do not participate in the battle. , the remaining 15 people have increased or decreased over the past ten years. There are 10 in Wushu, [-] in mine, and only [-]. The remaining troops are either Donghu Army, Mobei Army, or Signing Army. These [-] Jurchen prisoners of war are extremely precious!"

"What is the emperor's attitude towards your later suggestion?"

Wan Yanchang supported the exchange of captured soldiers, because the captured soldiers were all from the Hedong Jurchen Army, his army, so he firmly supported the exchange of slaves for prisoners of war, but Wan Yanchang opposed the exchange of Song Dynasty emperor Wanyan Nianhan. He tried his best to persuade the emperor, but his power could not compete with the military, and he failed in the end.

Not long ago, he put forward a new proposal, exchanging hostages with the Song Dynasty court, and the reason was very fair. Chen Qing was just a local official, how could he be qualified to exchange hostages with Jin Guo?

To force the Song Dynasty court to take Nianhan, Yinshuke and Wan Fuchang high-ranking officials into their hands, and then the two countries exchange, Wan Yanchang believes that the Song Dynasty emperor will never want the late emperor to go back.

The highlight of Wan Yanchang's suggestion is that he has figured out the mind of the emperor of the Song Dynasty.

Wan Yanchang shook his head and sighed: "Zong Jun and Wu Shu resolutely opposed it, and it was not approved by the Son of Heaven."

This result was expected by Wanyan Zongqing, how could Wanyanchang be an opponent of the military.

"What is the emperor's next plan, to the west or to the south?" Wanyan Zongqing asked again.

"The Son of Heaven means to go south, pick up the soft ones first, take back the Jianghuai River, plunder the Jiangnan area, and increase financial resources. This is exactly Wushu's intention! I wonder if the Son of Heaven has reached a deal with Wushu secretly."

"You mean... Nianhan?"

Wan Yanchang nodded, Wu Shu stabbed Nianhan in the back when it came to Nianhan's matter, and Nianhan was forced to abandon Hebei and fight on Shaanxi Road, and finally the whole army was wiped out.

Wan Yanchang knew some inside information. Wushu secretly assisted the emperor, so how would the emperor repay him? Obviously, he agreed with his plan to be tough on the Song Dynasty, at least to retake Jianghuai.

But this runs counter to Wan Yanchang's thinking. Wan Yanchang hopes to reconcile with the Song Dynasty court, and then concentrate his forces and resources to deal with Chen Qing.

After pondering for a moment, Wan Yanchang sneered and said, "Let them go! Come to me after they hit their heads badly."

……

On February [-]th, [-] Jurchen prisoners of war were escorted to Taiyuan Prefecture. Everyone wore coarse gray linen clothes, basically nothing. These prisoners of war have been serving in the mines, and the longest batch has been three years. .

Before leaving, Chen Qing gave them a lecture, telling them that it doesn't matter to fight and kill on the battlefield, but if they dare to bully the people again, once they are arrested, they will not be forgiven.

More than 3 prisoners of war were well-groomed, but they still couldn't bear the ecstasy in their hearts. They were finally going home. However, if they knew that they were going to Hebei, many of them would not want to go. Although the mines are hard work, you can eat enough to eat, and more importantly, you don't have to worry about your safety, but once you return to the army and return to the battlefield, you will lose your life.

Eighty miles north of Taiyuan City, about 5 miles away from Chitang Pass, the Song Army set up two large camps. Both camps were set up according to the standard of [-] people. Liu Cui led an army of [-]. In response to this replacement, there are also [-] troops stationed in Taiyuan Prefecture and Fenzhou. That is to say, if the Kingdom of Jin wants to create a crisis, the Song Army can quickly mobilize [-] troops to deal with it.

The chief officer for this replacement was Counselor Zhou Kuan. The reason why he was sent here was also because he had dealt with nearly 90 refugees from the Central Plains.

In addition to Zhou Kuan, there are more than 300 officials to assist, as well as [-] doctors, and a large amount of food and supplies.

Zhou Kuan's deputy is Wang Qiu, the order of Zhike Department, and he will soon lead several officials northward to confirm.

In the morning, a cavalry galloped over and handed a piece of information to Zhou Kuan. This was information from Chitang Town. The information told Zhou Kuan that a large number of Han people had arrived in the north of Chitang Town, tens of thousands of people There are as many as [-] golden soldiers guarding them, and there are no other heavy soldiers.

With this information, Zhou Kuan seemed to have eyes, and he was determined, and immediately sent Wang Qiu and his men to go north to coordinate.

Watching Wang Qiu's back go away, an official worried: "The Jinren are not trustworthy, will something go wrong!"

Zhou Kuan said indifferently: "Exchanging more than 3 prisoners of war, there is no conflict within the Jinbing, so there should be no problems. What I am worried about is exchanging the late emperor, and I am afraid that there will be extra problems. At that time, we must be extra careful."

Chapter 814 Exchange

On February 25, according to the method agreed by the two parties, two passages were built with wooden fences in front of Chitang Pass, one for entry and one for exit.

At the hour of Chen Shizheng, that is, at [-] o'clock in the morning, the exchange officially began. A Jurchen official came to guide the prisoners of war to enter Chitang Pass through the right passage. Similarly, Wang Qiu was responsible for leading the Song people's captives out of Chitang Pass and through the left passage. .

In fact, the two sides were mainly afraid of causing riots, and were not worried about what the other party would do. After all, the real exchange was the second on the first day of March, and that was the highlight. Today was just an exchange of little people.

At this time, an official of the Song Dynasty came out with the help of a white-haired old man. He was very emotional, crying as he walked, and was almost paralyzed. He only came out with the support of the official.

An old lady was following behind, also wiping tears as she walked, and was supported by her son, and a young woman was holding her child behind, this was a family.

Behind them, groups of people began to come out, men, women, young and old, basically families, all of them dressed in rags, with disheveled faces, supporting each other, stumbling forward.

Everyone was crying and kept wiping away their tears. When they walked out of the fence and saw the Song Dynasty flag in front of them and countless mighty soldiers of the Song Army, many people began to lose control. Some of the whole family hugged their heads and cried, and some sat on the ground and cried. Cry loudly, the sadness is contagious, and there is a lot of crying.

A man knelt on the ground, lowered his head, tears fell down, and choked up and shouted: "Father, mother, the child is finally home!"

There were more and more people behind, and the soldiers hurried forward to help the people who lost their emotions to leave.

Not far away stood a few painters from the newspaper office, painting all the sad scenes of this scene.

There are quite a few single women in the crowd, and they all go together. They are basically court ladies or concubines. According to the details finalized by the two parties, all women must be released, including palace ladies, concubines and their children. They should be treated as ordinary people and released.

The exchange went on for more than an hour. Finally, Wang Qiu and several officials came out, and the gate of Chitangguan was closed with a loud crash.

There are mighty teams in the wilderness. Soldiers of the Song Army escorted more than 7000 captives to the camp twenty miles away.

They will rest here for three days to recover their bodies before heading to Taiyuan City.

Their resettlement place is also Taiyuan City. Taiyuan City was massacred by Jin soldiers after the city was destroyed. So far, the population is less than [-]% of the original. , and save them a long journey.

Tens of thousands of people lived in the big camp, basically based on the family unit. Each family has a tent. If they are single, then five people will have one tent. If they are single women with children, then three pairs will have a big tent. , very well thought out.

There is no need for them to cook, and three meals are provided every day. It is early spring and February, the weather is not yet warm, and the night is still a bit cold. Each person is provided with a sheepskin, a suit of clothes, and a bedding. It was extremely harsh, all the people were not allowed to bring anything, they could only wear tattered clothes and skirts, and everyone didn't even have a penny.

Even so, it can't stop the tens of thousands of people yearning to go home. They would rather give up everything, as long as they can go back, even if they are barefoot, they want to go back to their homeland.
