Chapter 837: Settling Accounts After the Autumn
Qiong Haijun broke into the military preparation yamen yesterday, Xu Zhong knew about it, Pan Da was secretly against Xia Nan, and he also heard about it. The Qiong Navy is incomparably strong, he can kill the Tartars and flee from the wind, and he doesn't put the civilian officials in his eyes, how can he dare to offend? Thankfully, he treated Xia Nan respectfully from beginning to end, and there should be nothing to offend. He made up his mind, no matter what Xia Nan Du would say, no matter whether he could do it or not, he would promise to come down and talk about it.
Xia Nan put on an embarrassed look, "Originally, we brought back thousands of war horse carcasses on the battlefield, and eating horse meat can deal with it for a few days, but it is not a long-term solution after all." Now that Tianjin Wei's grain and grass have been burned again, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, what should I do, and please ask Mr. Xu to teach me? ”
Xu Zhong was so anxious that the sweat on his face was even more, the granary was burning, there was no source, and his grain and grass couldn't be eaten for long, so how could he help Xia Nan?
Seeing that Xu Zhong didn't understand, Xia Nan coughed and prompted: "Although our department is a guest army, we drove away the Tartars and saved Tianjin Wei from being poisoned by the Tartars. ”
Only then did Xu Zhong react, donating food and salary, and supporting horse fodder, which are all routines commonly used by powerful military leaders, and it is true to use this as an excuse to grab a lot of money. It's just that he doesn't understand, Qiong Haijun is so powerful, he just rolls up his sleeves, why does he still "discuss" with himself?
He asked cautiously: "What Ping Nanbo said is good, but I don't know what the lower officials can help with?" ”
Seeing that he didn't open his mind, Xia Nan didn't hide it, and said bluntly: "I want to enter the capital to face the saint, I am in a hurry, and I don't have time to slowly grind." You are the head snake of Tianjin Wei, which big family has food, you know best, show me a clear way, it will save me a lot of time, lest I go to search for ...... family by family"
When Xu Zhong heard this, he was taken aback, this is roasting himself on the fire! Qiong's navy is a guest army, you can leave after grabbing it, she is a local military household, she has been here for generations, she has offended the local gentry, do you have good fruit to eat? Although Tianjin Wei is not like Jiangnan and other places, the gentry are all hands and eyes, but there are always a few powerful characters, although they can't help the wolf-like Qiong Navy, but it is more than enough to control themselves.
He cried with a sad face and pleaded: "Ping Nanbo, the hereditary commander of the Tianjin Guard, there is no place to go, if you offend all the people in the city, how will you live in the future?" Please also ask Ping Nanbo to do well, and open the net to ......"
"Look at what you said, during the time I was in Tianjin Wei, I was taken care of by you, and I also vacated the military camp for me to station, how can I bear to pit you!" Xia Nan said, "Don't worry, I'm different from others, I don't want gold and silver property, and I don't want to rape women, just food." Tianjin Wei has not had natural or man-made disasters in recent years, and large households should have grain in stock, and each household has a few hundred stones, and it is almost the same to get together. ”
Hearing that as long as the food was not silver, and promised not to move the female dependents, Xu Zhong breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Xia Nan keeps his promise and "donates grain" according to this standard, the gentry's resistance should be much smaller. The capital of the Tartar corpse outside the city is there, and I believe that there will be no one who will not open his eyes and live for the sake of one hundred and eighty stone of food and his own life.
Xu Zhong, the commander of the guard, has long degraded his ability to fight wars, but he is still very efficient. He summoned his subordinates, and in less than half an hour, he made a list of the wealthy gentry in Tianjin's Weitian, and sent someone to lead the way for Qiong's navy.
Sure enough, as he expected, the Qiong navy fought a majestic battle, and now asked for some food, no one dared to make noise from the gentry, they all honestly cooperated, according to the number of acres of land, "donating grain" ranging from 50 to 200 stones, and in half a day, there was enough food for the Qiong navy to travel to and from the capital.
After "raising" enough food, the Qiong navy reorganized its ranks and left the city in turn as a battalion, and embarked on the road to the capital.
Panda stood in a prisoner cart "borrowed" by the Qiong Navy from the local government, and looked sadly in the direction of the Yamen of the Bingbei Road. I have been here for a few years, I have worked hard to save some net worth, and I thought that one day I would return to the capital with a beautiful scenery, but I didn't expect it to be a bubble overnight, and I will return to the capital in a humiliating state, and my reputation will be discredited. He was no longer able to reprimand Qiong Haijun for abusing lynching, and without any official procedures, he took a soldier ordered by the imperial court as a prisoner from his office, because no matter how much he said, it would be useless, and his mouth would not be more than a steel knife after all.
Out of the Tianjin Acropolis, walking more than ten miles to the west, the army came to the city wall of Jinghai County. Before entering Beijing, Xia Nan had to clean up the people who were against him one by one, and settle accounts after the autumn.
Xia Nan personally came out of the queue and shouted: "Mr. Wang, I am Xia Nan, I haven't seen you for a day, I miss you very much since I said goodbye the day before yesterday, I came to see you again!" ”
The soldiers who defended the city hurried down to report it. Not long after, Wang Hong's slightly vicious face appeared on the wall, and he smiled a little embarrassedly: "Mr. Xia, where is this, you are now a great hero who killed the Tartars, hurry up and take your head to Beijing to receive the reward, don't waste time here, our temple is small, it can't accommodate your big Buddha, and there is nothing to entertain, I'm afraid of snubbing the distinguished guests...... "He was instructed by his superiors to drag Xia Nan's hind legs, and his heart was very weak, and he didn't dare to open the door. In his opinion, Xia Nan's sudden appearance was definitely a weasel greeting the chicken, and he didn't have a good heart.
Xia Nan "blamed" and said: "It's not interesting for Mr. Wang to entertain guests like this!" I'm coming to visit sincerely, and you're just giving me a closed door? Besides, I didn't come alone, and there were people who came with me to visit relatives and friends! ”
Wang Hong was stunned, which one is this singing?
Summer Nan flashed aside, revealing three prisoner carts. He introduced: "You must know this, the Tianjin guards prepare for Panda, your food, clothing, parents, and the grain and grass of your army must be transferred from him; You must know these two people in their uniforms, they are Jinyi guards from the capital, and they said that two companions came to you, and they want to get in touch and return to Beijing together......"
Wang Hong was taken aback, the soldier Dao Panda and the two Jinyi guards were loaded into the prisoner car, indicating that the matter had been revealed, and Xia Nan was not afraid of the consequences of doing so at all, so after opening the city gate, the fourth person to be loaded into the prisoner car was himself. While quickly ordering his subordinates to seal the gate with sandbags and mud, and at the same time preparing to defend the city, he questioned Xia Nan.
"The surname is Xia, if you do this, aren't you afraid of the thunder wrath of the saint?"
