1119. The military government came to help

In the Hai'an Salt Political Patrol Yard, Gao Jifu put down the report in his hand and shouted: "Invite Xia Jinghao over."

The guards outside the door departed.

Not long after, Xia Jinghao, who hurried over from the county office, knocked on the door and came in.

Gao Jifu also got up and said, "I took the liberty of inviting the county lieutenant Xia over, it's really troublesome."

I saw that this Xia Jinghao was of medium stature, his skin was a little dark, he had a common face, and his dark skin was like a farmer or fisherman.

"If the senior deputy envoy has business, please give orders, and the subordinate will do his best to complete it." After Xia Jinghao bowed, he smiled sincerely.

Seeing Xia Jinghao's attitude, Gao Jifu was also very satisfied.

This Xia Jinghao is one of the three Ya of Hai'an County Ya to catch one of the head of the Zhuang class, the county Ya is divided into the Zhuang class, the soap class and the fast class, the responsibilities of each class are different, in charge of the warehouse, forced labor, tax collection, arrest, detective, messenger and so on different duties, this Xia Jinghao turned out to be just a person responsible for the arrest of the summons fast team leader, Gao Jifu came to Hai'an to implement the salt policy at the beginning, the Hai'an original county lieutenant was greedy for a huge amount of ink, and obstructed, after Gao Jifu reported to Li Pojun, he directly took down the original county lieutenant and promoted Xia Jinghao, who knew the current affairs, After a series of events proved that Gao Jifu's methods were still very clever, in the process of implementing the salt law, Xia Jinghao was wholeheartedly trying his best to help, and Xia Jinghao also contributed to the success of the reform of the Hai'an salt law.

"I also ask the Xia County Lieutenant to quickly pick up a hundred officials and go to Gaotian Dam with me." Gao Jifu arched his hand.

Xia Jinghao didn't delay at all when he heard this, and he didn't ask what he was doing, he turned around and went out to get some people, after the last time Gao Jifu led them to ambush Liu Jingzhi's rebels, he could be regarded as having seen blood, and he was very strong.

Gao Jifu believed that he carried a hundred strong with him, and he thought that the family could resist any conspiracy, so everyone went to Gaotianba.

And not long after Gao Jifu left, the small Hai'an City ushered in a commotion.

"Lao Deng, what do you think these soldiers are doing in our Hai'an? Such a big move". On the streets of Hai'an, groups of elite soldiers walked along the streets, and the people on both sides of the streets pointed and pointed and were full of curiosity.

After all, Hai'an, a small seaside city, does not even have a military government, and there are no large-scale battles in wartime, let alone when it is stable now.

"I don't know, but you see that these sergeants are really powerful, they are really imposing, they should be serious government soldiers."

"It's definitely ......."

Hai'an County Ya, Lu County Ling was terrified to see this heavily armed officer, "Xiaguan Hai'an County Ling Lu De'an has seen the general, I don't know what to call this general?" ”。

"Lu County's order is polite, Luo Chengye, the general of Yangzhou Shanyang Military Mansion, Guoyi Lieutenant, was ordered by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to come to Hai'an to assist Gao Jifu, the deputy envoy of salt and iron, I don't know where Lord Gao is now?" Luo Chengye got Li Pojun's order and immediately ordered a thousand elite soldiers, and came to Hai'an non-stop, not daring to slack off.

It doesn't matter if I don't know where Gao Jifu is now, he is a dignified four-grade lieutenant, just ask this little county commander.

Hearing in front of him is Luo Chengye, one of the three major captains of Yangzhou, the commander of the Shanyang Military Government, Lu County's order is a muddy and muddy county order, no one dares to offend people, how dare to be lazy, busy is to return the courtesy, and said respectfully: "Back to Luo Duwei, Lord Gao should now work in the Yanzheng Patrol Academy." The lieutenant came from afar, and the subordinate officials held a banquet to wash the dust for the lieutenant."

"No need, official business matters. Lu County ordered a government official to lead the way." Luo Chengye didn't sit down, and waved his hand directly and said. If this was put aside, it would be impossible to eat and drink well and then collect some benefits, but now that everyone in Yangzhou is in danger, Luo Chengye will not dare to do this.

Seeing this, Lu Xianling was busy calling a clever official to lead the way.

Luo Chengye came to the yamen of the hospital all the way, and after asking, he learned that Gao Jifu had taken people to Gaotianba.

When Hai'an came, he didn't see Gao Jifu, and Luo Chengye also had a headache.

"Captain, why don't we stay in front of us and wait for the senior deputy envoy to come back." Seeing this, a close confidant deputy lieutenant said. They came to Hai'an to obey Gao Jifu's orders and assist him in dealing with the salt administration, so there was no need to meet at the first time.

Luo Chengye frowned, and recalled the order conveyed by Zhang Wenqian Changshi when he came up, Zhang Changshi specially instructed that someone in Hai'an seemed to be unfavorable to the senior deputy envoy, and His Royal Highness specially emphasized that Gao Jifu must be protected.

If he came to Hai'an and didn't go to see the senior deputy envoy as soon as possible, if something happened to the senior deputy envoy during this period, then Luo Chengye would not be able to eat and leave.

And...... Why did you go to inspect the salt factory and bring a hundred servants with you, did the senior deputy know that this trip was dangerous?

Although Luo Chengye is a veteran oilman, although he did not go with Zhang Song when he was in Yangzhou, his hands and feet are not clean, and he has always acted as a good man.

Thinking about it this way, Luo Chengye instinctively realized that there might be something wrong here.

Immediately, he waved his hand and said, "No, since we have come to listen to the orders of the senior deputy envoy, how can we come and not see us." Zhou Qiang, you set up the concession army outside the city, and the cavalry army followed me to Gaotianba to meet the senior deputy envoy."

Captain Zhou was stunned when he heard this, when did his own lieutenant become so loyal, but the majesty of the lieutenant as a military commander was unquestionable, and Captain Zhou quickly conveyed the order.

The cavalry of the military government, who had rested for a while, quickly understood that there were not many people, only more than two hundred people.

But Luo Chengye is confident that with these 200 well-trained elite cavalry, in this small Hai'an, it is enough to deal with any unexpected situation.

Immediately, he ordered the officials to lead the way and went straight to Gaotian Dam.

At this time, Gaotianba, a small seaside village, is also very lively.

Cheng Chong, the salt supervisor of Gaotianba Village and the salt farm, was at the entrance of the village to welcome the arrival of the deputy envoy of salt and iron.

"Cheng Yanjian, what's wrong with Yantian? What causes production to be stopped? Gao Jifu turned over and dismounted, and went straight to the salt field without saying much, asking as he walked.

Gao Jifu's single knife made Cheng Chong stunned, and he was also shocked when he looked at the more than 100 officials led by the county lieutenant behind him, and his heart was full of joy, but he quickly reacted and said straightly: "Lord Deputy Envoy, I don't know why, most of the Yantian was destroyed overnight, no, as soon as I received the news at dawn, I immediately reported it to the patrol hospital."
