Chapter 639: Bring the Pen
Bandits were rampant in Guide, and the gentry and people in the city did not cooperate with the Qing army, which made Wang Jiaping very passive.
The green bamboo building in the city is the only restaurant in Sui County that has not yet closed.
In order to break the passive situation, Wang Jiaping ordered a banquet in the restaurant to entertain Balu Zhangjing, and at the same time invited local squires to come to the banquet and tied them to the chariot of the Qing Dynasty.
These squires and landlords are all relatively capable and prestigious people in the local area, as long as they are willing to serve the Qing Dynasty, then Wang Jiaping will not be passive everywhere in Guide.
Early in the morning, Wang Jiaping asked people to go to Cuizhulou, and asked the shopkeeper to prepare a sumptuous banquet, and find a few girls in the brothel to entertain Uncle Baqi.
The shopkeeper of the restaurant is very helpless and unwilling to do this business, but he can't refuse when he comes to the door, otherwise he will definitely be killed by the tartars and traitors who have lost their conscience.
When Liu Dashuai governed the Guide Mansion, the local area was stable, the people had some spare money in their hands, and the business of the restaurant could still be done, these bastards came, the people were looted, and the green battalion soldiers often came to blackmail, and the business could not be done, and he was not allowed to close his doors, which was really a bunch of miscellaneous things.
The shopkeeper cursed while preparing a table of wine and food that he could still take out his hand on.
It was night, Cuizhulou, surrounded by the Qing army, Wang Jiaping and Balu Zhangjing sat on the hand, and some of the leading figures in Sui County sat around the table nervously, and they didn't say anything like mud bodhisattvas.
Wang Jiaping glanced at everyone, stood up, picked up his wine glass, and was about to say a few words, when Balu Zhangjing next to him had already moved his chopsticks.
This made Wang Jiaping a little faceless, if it was an ordinary person, he would have gone mad, but Balu is someone he can't offend.
Wang Jiaping scolded in his heart, the Tartars are really fucking unruly, but he could only greet with a smile on his face: "Zhang Jing is hungry, and the general soldier is also hungry, everyone eats first, let's talk while eating." ”
Balu is the second-tier people in the Eight Banners, originally had been outside the Guan, the conditions were more difficult, gnawing the nest every day, and he was not as good as the small rich man in the south, and recently because of the heavy loss of the Manchurian soldiers, he was transferred to the Guannai, and he had not had time to enjoy the world of flowers in the Guan, it was a soil that had not seen the world.
Seeing the delicacies on this table, Balu naturally let go of his hands and feet to eat, and his mouth clicked like a pig eating, which made the leaders present feel a burst of contempt in their hearts.
The whole table of dishes was almost eating from Balu, and the others basically didn't move much, and a person in Sui County didn't even move his chopsticks.
"General Wang, the dish is delicious!" Balu Zhangjing was very satisfied with Wang Jiaping's arrangement, and praised it in blunt Chinese.
Wang Jiaping immediately smiled, "If Zhang Jing is satisfied, we will come here to eat every day in the future!" ”
The shopkeeper who was standing next to him was waiting, and when he heard this, his legs were weak, and he almost fainted, and he regretted that he didn't get some arsenic and poisoned these turtle grandchildren.
I still eat it every day, it's really fucking conscience.
This time, he called everyone over, not just to eat, Wang Jiaping saw that Balu Zhangjing was eating happily, so he was ready to start talking about business.
Not long after the Qing army captured Guide, it had not yet sent civilian officials to take up their posts, and the officials and officials in the Yamen of Guide Mansion had also run away.
Originally, Wang Jiaping was in charge of the army and had no right to meddle in these matters, but now is a special period, Nikan gave him the power to act cheaply, and he is ready to restore a set of teams in the county.
This is to pull the squires into the water, and the second is to meet the team, so that he can manage Shangqiu, and at the same time, there are squires as eyeliner, which is also convenient for him to exterminate bandits and rebels.
At that moment, Wang Jiaping said this matter, and then looked at everyone: "The county magistrate is not qualified to be appointed, but there is no problem in promoting one person to be a county magistrate." Whoever of you wishes to serve the Qing Dynasty should immediately write a letter of allegiance, and Ben will send it to Baylor. ”
The squires at the table didn't answer, they all didn't want to do it, and wanted to push the errand to others.
It's good to be an official, but to do things for the Manchus, you have to be poked in the backbone.
is saying that Liu Dashuai outside the city is fierce, looking at the Manchu Qing Dynasty's style, it doesn't look like it can last for a long time, and no one wants to do this kind of thing.
Wang Jiaping saw that these people shirked, no one was willing to answer, and after waiting for a while, he suddenly became furious, and suddenly slapped the knife on the table, "The mother doesn't know how to lift, and one of the people sitting here today is counted as one, whether it is to be a county prince or a canonical history, you can claim it yourself." You are right and right, and you are right. ”
As he spoke, he looked at Zhao Juren who was sitting next to him, and his eyes narrowed, "Zhao Juren, you have the highest reputation, write a letter of allegiance, and the county will be yours." ”
This Zhao Juren is the leader of the gentry of Sui County, take him down, and the rest of the people will be easy to say.
Zhao Juren heard this, but his face was upright, and he glanced at Wang Jiaping with disdain, "Zhao is a man of the Ming Dynasty, not an official of the Manchu Dynasty, even if you clamp the knife on Zhao's neck~"
Before he finished speaking, Wang Jiaping pulled out the knife on the table and put it on Zhao Juren's neck.
In an instant, the room was quiet, silent, and the needles could be heard, and even Balu Zhangjing, who was eating at the bar, put down his chopsticks and looked at this Zhao Juren with everyone.
The air was suddenly solemn, and the squires who came with him were worried about Zhao Juren's safety, and wiped their sweat for him, how could they offend the Manchu Qing so bluntly?
Zhao Juren didn't finish speaking, he stopped stiffly, he raised his hand, the expression on his face did not change, and blurted out a sentence, "Bring a pen!" ”
Wang Jiaping inserted the knife back into the scabbard and looked at everyone viciously, "What about you?" ”
Many squires are helpless, after all, their lives are important, and the others are all false, one can only be submissive, crying with a sad face, "We also write!" ”
"Those who know the times are Junjie, that's right! I have to turn my face, it's really cheap! Wang Jiaping's face looked better, sat down anew, suddenly turned his head, and said to the shopkeeper: "What, what about the girl you called?" Why haven't you come yet? ”
Hearing this, Balu stopped eating and drinking, rubbed his hands, wiped his mouth again, and prepared to start the next show.
"Mr. Wang, no one wants to come! All sick! "The shopkeeper is about to cry.
"Are they all sick? How could it be such a coincidence? Wang Jiaping was furious, but the matter was important at the moment, so he could only endure it first.
After a short time, the banquet was over, and the gentry present also wrote letters of allegiance, and took their own errands, and left one by one with a sigh.
Wang Jiaping and Balu Zhangjing also returned to the county office, and on the way Wang Jiaping said: "Zhang Jing, I see that there are few Diao people in this city who are facing the Qing Dynasty, and every time we go out of the city to encircle and suppress Liu Heizi, there are people who report the news. I don't think it's as good as ~"
Balu Zhangjing was not happy without Gu Liang to accompany him, and after listening to Wang Jiaping's words, he sobered up a little, "What is General Wang going to do?" ”
Wang Jiaping said: "Liu Heizi is a reckless man, a scheming person, I am going to send a team of people out of the city, let him attack, find out where he is hiding, and at the same time catch the person who reported the news." ”
Balu nodded approvingly, "General Wang, this plan is very wonderful!" ”
