The Founding of the Red Chamber

It has to be said that the arrogance in Lin Jing's heart that is not humane can really be said by Zhifu Xie.

Based on Lin Jing's personality, this Quanzhou City, since he has to go first, he can also give up at will, directly give up the huge Fucheng, and Kong Xie will fight for it, one is because they want to see the two compete, they only cooperate with the winner That is; the second is, from Lin Jing's point of view, no matter how much the two families of Kong and Xie fight, at this moment, they are the ones holding the most powerful troops.Depending on who Kong Xie loses, whoever wins, in the final analysis, it will still be their soldiers and horses that will be relied on in the future.

Therefore, Lin Jing didn't care how they wanted to fight, and just followed his apprentice Xiaosan to Fujian Province to fight.

As for Quanzhou City, Lin Jing only left his confidants in the city to watch the battle between the two Yamen.

If you want Lin Jing to say, Quanzhou City is already like this, what is there to argue about?It's just, or for the two of Kong Xie, there are some things that have to be done, that's all.

Lin Jing and Tu Xiaosan took Governor Kong's warrant to Minzhou City. It stands to reason that this is a common thing to go to other places to fight.It is not easy to recruit local soldiers, so it is natural to recruit troops from other places.For example, when Tu Xiaosan was in Haiyan, Haiyan was also a place where there were many battles, and the young and strong were limited. Later, Tu Xiaosan recruited many young and strong in Hangzhou.Therefore, when the conscription in Quanzhou was not going well, Tu Xiaosan immediately thought of Minzhou Prefecture, the most prosperous state capital in Fujian today.

As a result, I hit a wall for the first time.

The Minzhou government was extremely indifferent to Tu Xiaosan's recruitment of soldiers.Of course, it didn't stop Tu Xiaosan from recruiting soldiers, but the government didn't cooperate at all. Lin Jing even sent a lot of gifts to the government of Minzhou. As a result, the prefect of Fujian didn't even know about Quanzhou. The fact that the general came to Fujian Province to recruit troops made Lin Jing very angry.In particular, Lin Jing was already very temperamental, and now he was very unhappy. Ma Sanlang and Shi Shilang were still in a hurry, "What should we do? If there is no Fucheng here to distribute documents to the counties and towns, no one will know about us Regarding the recruitment of soldiers. I’m afraid we can’t recruit 7000 people just relying on the prefectural city to recruit soldiers.”

Lin Jing sneered, "Without rotten eggs, you can't make trough cakes!" First, the prefect of Fujian Province had a fit, and then said to Ma and Shi, "You two have been with me for a long time, and each of you has a big head. , the head is not small, I think it is just a decoration."

Ma Shi and Ma Shi were originally from the family of a country gentry in Yancheng, and they had to fight with Tu Xiaosan to their death, and now they are fighting with Lin Jing.The two of them told Lin Jing to tidy up, and they didn't feel anything when they saw Lin Jing mocking the two of them.Really, it's too shameless, I can't get along with Lin Jing.The two of them have been able to get along until now, but they already don't know what shame is.The two said, "We are not as smart as brother Xiucai. Brother Li, you should think of a way, so don't delay our business." Once attacked Tu Xiaosan with a brick.However, seeing Lin Jing ridiculed even the prefect of Fujian Province, the two of them are not crazy enough to dare to say that the prefect is wrong.Again, business matters.In terms of wisdom, the two still admire Lin Jing.Originally, the temperament of the two of them used to think that scholars were nerds, but when they were under Lin Jing's command, the two of them realized that this talented scholar had too many ideas in his head.

Lin Jing glanced at the two of them, thought for a while, and asked them to come forward to teach them the opportunity.

Lin Jing asked the two of them to find a study immediately, and printed tens of thousands of recruitment notices. In addition to the hype of recruiting soldiers in the Minzhou government, they also hired people to distribute them to counties and villages.In this matter, Lin Jing used officials from prefectures, counties, and townships, and it was useless to be officials at all. Any county, township, or village could recruit qualified soldiers, and pay these officials according to their heads.Lin Jing also taught them a set of rhetoric for recruiting soldiers, how much money is paid every month, and when the salary is paid, and the salary is not less than a penny.As long as they can be raised, each person will have five taels of Anjia silver, which is given to the soldier's family.At the same time, Lin Jing also publicized Tu Xiaosan's achievements in Haiyan. He really won many battles in the fight against the Japanese. How many other people won the official position because of their bravery in battle, and they were able to glorify their families, and they have since reached the pinnacle of life. In short, the two of them, Ma and Shi, polished Lin Jingjiao's story a little bit, and told those officials who ran errands. These officials were a little itchy, thinking that if they hadn't had a job on their bodies, it would be better to follow this General Lin is a soldier.

Of course, this is just thinking about it, now that the Japanese pirates are constantly infesting, Kuang Quanzhou Prefecture has really suffered a lot this year, and how many people have ruined their families because of the Japanese bandits.

However, being a soldier is also a way to get ahead, and Kuangtu Xiaosan was indeed very famous in the battle against the Japanese in Zhejiang.If someone doesn't believe it, Lin Jing will also show everyone the palace report that the court praised Tu Xiaosan, and the court's imperial edict awarding military exploits that have been preserved.After seeing it like this, everyone believed that General Lin was indeed a very capable general.

For a while, it didn't matter that the Minzhou government was not very enthusiastic about Tu Xiaosan, but these officials employed by Lin Jing all looked at Tu Xiaosan with a trace of respect.Jiangnan has been plagued by Japanese bandits for a long time, and an old official said, "The generals are all like General Lin, so why worry about our Jiangnan Japanese bandits being unfair!"

"Yes, yes." The two of Ma and Shi are very good at finding sympathy, and he said solemnly, "I think Ma (Shi) has a hundred hectares of fertile land at home, and I don't have to worry about food and clothing. Robbed by the Japanese bandits, the two of us enlisted in the army to avenge our hometown elders! There is also Li Xiucai (Lin Jing) in our army. Just abandon literature and practice martial arts, don't chase away Japanese bandits, and swear not to be a human being. Every scholar in the family has this blood. There are countless good men in Fujian. Bring out a peaceful world!"

The two men, Ma and Shi, were eloquent, and they immediately warmed people's hearts.

The main thing is that Jiangnan has really been plagued by Japanese bandits for too long.For example, the natives in the south of the Yangtze River, even if they are lucky and their family is safe, but if there are few relatives in their family, it is impossible to guarantee that the relatives will be harmed by Japanese bandits.Therefore, when it comes to Japanese bandits, everyone hates it.

Lin Jing commanded Ma and Shi to do recruiting propaganda. Even though the prefect of Fujian Province treated Tu Xiaosan and his party coldly, there were still many people who came to recruit soldiers.

Tu Xiaosan was not too polite, and recruited 5000 people in Fujian Prefecture.Tu Xiaosan originally wanted to recruit 7000 people, but a letter from the Kong Xunfu in Quanzhou City said that there was news that the Japanese bandits were going ashore again and asked Tu Xiaosan to return to Quanzhou City earlier.

After discussing with Lin Jing, Tu Xiaosan had no choice but to go back to Quanzhou first.Tu Xiaosan said, "Even if the prefect of Minzhou treats us lukewarmly, we have recruited a lot of soldiers and horses. We are going back to Quanzhou. Before we leave, we still need to tell the prefect."

Lin Jing said, "You go, I don't care for such narrow-minded villains."

Tu Xiaosan thought about it for a while, and the prefect of Fujian Province could indeed be called narrow-minded.Tu Xiaosan didn't force Lin Jing, so he took his bodyguards to bid farewell to the prefect of Minzhou. The prefect of Minzhou knew that Tu Xiaosan had recruited five thousand young men from him, so he felt a little depressed, especially when he heard that Tu Xiaosan had returned He is very picky, he wants people from 16 years old up to 40 years old, all in the prime of life, and he wants to leave.In addition, the imperial court took care of the people who were good soldiers in Dingkou at home. Therefore, considering this, the prefect of Minzhou became more and more depressed. Seeing Tu Xiaosan, he couldn't help saying, "General Lin, this time, It made me reduce the corvee tax of [-] households in Fujian Province."

Tu Xiaosan laughed and said, "It's only within the limits of your lord that I'm allowed to recruit soldiers here. I wouldn't be willing to trade it for someone else."

The magistrate of Fujian Province flattered him, but it was hard to say anything sour.The prefect of Minzhou smiled, "I know, this is the meaning of the governor. As long as people are needed, the general can suppress more Japanese bandits, no matter how many soldiers he recruits, I am willing." The rank of the prefect of Fujian Province, Speaking of which, he is half a rank lower than Tu Xiaosan, but since the civil servants are pure and noble, and this is in the territory of Fujian Province, the prefect of Fujian Province is a little big, so Tu Xiaosan just turned a blind eye.

Tu Xiaosan said, "I just wish I could eat Japanese bandit meat alive."

Speaking of Japanese bandits, the prefect of Fujian Province also hated them for a while.The two talked about some idle chapters, and Tu Xiaosan talked about going back to Quanzhou City.The magistrate of Minzhou said, "Didn't General Lin plan to recruit 5000 soldiers, but now there are only [-]? Are you going back to Quanzhou City?"

Tu Xiaosan was a little surprised that the Japanese bandits in Governor Kong's letter came ashore. Could it be that he didn't talk to the prefect of Minzhou? Luo, it's been more than a month since I came out, and I'm still a little worried about the affairs in the city. Besides, there are already a lot of soldiers, so let's talk about the rest slowly."

The prefect of Minzhou sees that Tu Xiaosan mentioned "worried about the affairs of the city" cryptically, although he is a bit narrow-minded, he is a first-class shrewd person, and he knows what Tu Xiaosan meant.The governor of Minzhou said casually, "The last time the Japanese bandits came ashore was in August, which is the Mid-Autumn Festival. No matter how difficult the people's life is, they will prepare some things at home. Merchants will also buy and sell at that time. Goods, now it’s the New Year, and the Japanese bandits also have to celebrate the New Year, so they should be more careful.”

Tu Xiaosan nodded, thinking that what the prefect of Fujian Province said was reasonable.

The prefect of Fujian Province originally wanted to host a banquet to send them off, but Tu Xiaosan declined the banquet, saying that he would come to bother him when he would be successful in fighting the Japanese.

Tu Xiaosan turned around and told Lin Jing what Minzhou Hefu had said, and Tu Xiaosan said, "Since the governor has not mentioned the Japanese bandits to the Minzhou prefect, it is not easy for me to mention it directly. I am really worried that the Japanese bandits will After going ashore again, I euphemistically mentioned it to the magistrate. I watched, and the magistrate seemed to understand what I meant."

"They are in Fujian, so they naturally know better than us about the Japanese bandits coming ashore from Fujian." Lin Jing said, "We should be careful on the way back to Quanzhou this time."

"The Japanese bandits can't come so fast."

"What's so scary about Japanese bandits? The officialdom in Fujian is a hundred times more terrifying than Japanese bandits." Lin Jing looked at Tu Xiaosan, "Not everyone welcomes us to come to Fujian to suppress bandits."

Tu Xiaosan couldn't help but look a little more solemn.

If you want to say that you are a junior, you are not out of luck.

He was a poor boy, and he committed the crime of murder. As a result, he was able to hang out in the officialdom for many years, and he became more and more handsome.However, if he hadn't been in the officialdom, Tu Xiaosan probably wouldn't have had so many opportunities to experience the darkness and filth of the officialdom that cannot be appealed to the outside world.

However, no matter how dangerous it is, I'm afraid it won't be as dangerous as being desperate in the south of the Yangtze River and falling directly into the despair of Savage Ridge.

Tu Xiaosan had the honor to show the official circles in Fujian the demeanor of the first famous general in Zhejiang Province against the Japanese on the way back to Quanzhou from Fujian Province.Tu Xiaosan wiped out [-] Japanese bandits with [-] elite guards and [-] recruits.Tu Xiaosan didn't leave anyone alive, he ordered someone to behead his head, and returned to Quanzhou City with [-] bloody heads.

When Tutu Xiaosan and his party arrived in Quanzhou City, they had not been able to enter the city directly. Without him, this time the Japanese bandits came again.The city gate of Quanzhou is closed tightly, the city walls are full of guard soldiers, and outside the city are Japanese bandits clamoring to attack the city.Obviously the Japanese bandits' attack on the city was not going well, now that Tu Xiaosan and his party arrived, they immediately slaughtered all the Japanese bandits in the city.The murderous aura of the soldiers under Tu Xiaosan's command even shocked Governor Kong on the city wall, but Zhifu Xie slapped his hands and praised, "General Lin is really my Jiangnan Tiger General!"

After praising Tu Xiaosan, Zhifu Xie cupped his hands to Governor Kong, "My lord, let me go and meet General Lin!"

Seeing that Tu Xiaosan had finished killing the Japanese bandits outside the city, Governor Kong made up his mind and said with a smile, "Let's go together to meet General Lin's triumphant return!" He took the lead and walked down the city wall. But it doesn't bother me at all.Without him, this time Quanzhou City has killed the invading Japanese bandits and won a big victory. He, the new governor of Fujian, finally has a firm foothold in Fujian!Take root!

Seeing Governor Kong's hasty look, Zhifu Xie sneered, with a just right smile on his face, he also followed Governor Kong and went out of the city to meet Tu Xiaosan and his party!
