Chapter 184: Are You All Pixiu?
Hu Zongxian shouted loudly, full of energy, and Tang Yi's ears behind him were buzzing. The surrounding wolf soldiers were also stunned, and they all dodged the road, and Hu Zongxian took a big stride and walked inside.
Not to mention, some people just have a temperament, although they are wearing blue robes, they are the same as tens of millions of people, and they immediately suppressed the scene.
In fact, Tang Yi didn't know that when Hu Zongxian was in Xuanda, he encountered a trouble, and he also solved it by riding alone, and his nails were definitely hairy...... Old hand!
Walking to the middle, Hu Zongxian stopped and said loudly: "Which of you is in charge, let him come to see me!" ”
The young man in the lead frowned, although he didn't know much about the official system, he knew that this person who was wearing a blue robe and didn't look like a big man would inevitably despise him, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he said contemptuously: "Can you have the final say?" I'm looking for a powerful official, I'm looking for a governor! ”
Hu Zongxian smiled slightly, "The big official solves the big thing, the small official solves the small thing, you haven't said anything yet, maybe the sesame mung bean is big, why should you alarm the governor." ”
"What a big breath!" The head man walked in front of Hu Zongxian in a few steps, looked at him a few times from top to bottom, Hu Zongxian was not afraid, and also stared at the other party.
After a while, the young leader finally laughed.
"Since I arrived in Jiangnan, I haven't met such an official as you! Well, I'll tell you what happened, the brothers killed hundreds of pirates, and the heads were sent up for three or four months, and the reward has not come down, and the food is gone, how can you let us live! ”
Hu Zongxian remained silent and said with a smile: "This official is the new Zhejiang Governor Hu Zongxian, and he has the right to supervise the hundred officials in Zhejiang. All soldiers who serve the country must be treated well, and there must be no shortage of grain and grass. ”
"Nicely said, dinner was over. If we don't give food today, we will take it ourselves. ”
Hu Zongxian still asked in a calm voice, "How do you want to take it?" ”
"That's not simple, don't you Han people say that the whole world is not the king's land, the emperor Lao Tzu doesn't give it, the court doesn't give it, we will ask the people of Hangzhou for it. The children have all seen that the big grain merchant's house is full of grain, and there is no shortage of food and drink for thousands of us, right? ”
"yes, that's right, rob the fuck!"
Thousands of soldiers waved the swords in their hands, and the shouts shook the sky, Hu Zongxian's scalp was numb, and a layer of sweat appeared on his head.
These wolf soldiers are more violent and ferocious than you think. And he also admits death, if he annoys them, the consequences will be absolutely unimaginable.
"Shut up!" Hu Zongxian suddenly shouted, and said sharply at the young leader: "Hu has been an official in the north and south for many years, and he has long heard of the prestige of the southwest native soldiers, loyal to the country, unparalleled in combat power, and galloping thousands of miles. Relentless hard work is the pillar of the country. Able to fight side by side with warriors as brave as wolves. It's Hu's luck. Just ......"
Hu Zongxian first complimented a lot, then his face changed, and he said angrily: "How can you have the appearance of a loyal and good general now, you actually want to rob the people, what is the difference between acting like this and the Japanese Kou." You have the reputation of a wolf soldier! ”
The young leader's eyes flashed with fierce light, and he gritted his teeth, Hu Zongxian's words still touched him.
"Hmph, don't talk about those nice things, we want food. What you said is so fary that you can't afford to eat. ”
"Okay, if you want food, I'll get you food, but you remember, you are absolutely not allowed to hurt the people at all, otherwise you won't be a man who stands up to the sky!" Hu Zongxian roared loudly, absolutely overpowering the other party from the momentum.
The young leader was silent for a long time, then finally nodded and said, "We can back down and give you one night, when the morning dawns, we can't see food, so don't blame us for being polite!" Walk. At the sound of the order, the wolf soldier left quickly, as if the tide had receded, and instantly quieted down.
……
Tang Yi walked behind Hu Zongxian with a smile and gave him a thumbs up.
"Dong Weng is so courageous, he retired from the army alone, majestic, and courageous!"
Hu Zongxian shook his head with a wry smile when he heard this, shook his clothes, his back was soaked, and sighed: "The thin donkey pulls hard, and it is strong, tens of thousands of taels of silver, and there is no food, and when it is dawn, they won't tear me up." ”
"Don't worry, the top priority is to figure out the situation."
"Okay." Hu Zongxian walked to the gate of the Governor's Palace, and before he could knock on the door, a person walked out of it, it was Master Yang Wenyu. Tang Yi didn't want to be recognized, so he stood in the dark where the lantern couldn't shine, and Yang Wenyu didn't pay attention to him, but he didn't say thank you to Hu Zongxian.
"Thank you, my lord, for breaking the siege, my lord is really timely rain."
Hu Zongxian arched his hand and hurriedly said, "Is the Governor here, why did this matter start?" ”
At the mention of this, Yang Wenyu sighed, "Your Excellency the Governor went to Ningbo, Taizhou and other places to inspect the defense, and he has been walking for more than half a month, if the Governor is here, it will not be so troublesome......
Yang Wenyu kept talking, and told what had happened, it turned out that the young head was named Peng Yinan, who was the Yongshun Tusi Propaganda Envoy, and was less than twenty years old this year, but he was brave and proficient in the art of war, and his father Peng Mingfu abdicated early and passed the consolation envoy to him.
This time in the southeast to resist the Japanese, a total of five thousand wolf soldiers were transferred from Yongshun, led by Peng Yinan and his son, after coming to Zhejiang, they attacked continuously, fought several beautiful victories, and beheaded six or seven hundred Japanese soldiers.
At the beginning, the wolf soldiers came with food on their backs and devoted themselves to serving the country, but the distance was long and the battle time was long, so they had to ask the court for food.
This is troublesome, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty never pay full salaries, and they don't even have half of them. Peng Yinan didn't know the rules, and he didn't make any points, so he only got 30% of the salary. However, a group of officials were perfunctory and prevaricated, not telling the truth, Peng Yinan just let go of his subordinates to eat and drink, and bought things lavishly, and soon the food was eaten up, the money was also spent, and there were more and more conflicts between the wolf soldiers and the people of Hangzhou.
It happened that Wang Chen was not there, and the governor Zheng Yongchang hated the wolf soldiers, and he was still afraid of responsibility, Peng Yinan found him, and he only said that it was the governor who was in charge, so he fooled people to the governor's yamen.
In all directions, Yang Wenyu explained the situation again, and Hu Zongxian's head was several times bigger.
I scolded my mother in my heart, it's not good to be greedy for money, you have to be greedy for military salaries, even if you are greedy for ordinary people, if you are not greedy for wolf soldiers, you have wolves in your name, is it easy to deal with? I really don't have a long brain, and I am looking for death by myself!
"Master Yang, don't talk nonsense, can you raise food tonight?"
Yang Wenyu smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Lord Hu, Lord Wang is not here, even if he is, he has no food in his hands, as for the governor and political envoys, there may be food, but they are in high power, and it is useless for me to speak." Besides, there are a bunch of local soldiers in Zhejiang, and the big guys all open their mouths to eat, so it's not easy to favor one side or the other. ”
Hu Zongxian's eyes were red in a hurry, and he said angrily: "Then you can't get any food?" ”
"This, if you take out the wages of the master's staff of the Governor's Palace, maybe a few hundred taels ......" Yang Wenyu finished speaking, his face was hot, and this money was not enough to even send a meal.
Hu Zongxian let out a long breath, rolled his eyes, and said, "Master Yang, I want to find a way to make money, you send a letter to the governor as soon as possible to explain the situation." ”
"Hey, hey, let's do it." Yang Wenyu hugged his head and ran away.
……
Hu Zongxian turned around and walked towards Tang Yi.
"Sir, what do you think is the case now?"
Tang Yi sighed and said, "Adults have a good heart, but it's not easy to do it, and it will attract criticism." ”
What Hu Zongxian appreciates most is Tang Yi's point, and there is no need to talk nonsense at all.
"I will carry any baskets, and I will immediately send a letter to all the big grain merchants in the city, that is, Hu Mou invited them to dinner. If anyone doesn't come, Hu Mou will patrol the imperial history, so that they can't eat and walk around! ”
In less than three watches, many grain merchants yawned and came to Hongmei Pavilion - the largest restaurant in Hangzhou.
"Disturbed in the middle of the night, the official felt deeply guilty, and punished himself with three cups first."
Saying that, Hu Zongxian really raised his wine glass and did three in a row, and these people didn't know what medicine was sold in the gourd, so they were busy saying that the adults were too polite.
After drinking, Hu Zongxian's face was gloomy, and without saying a word, he sat here, and the grain merchants looked at each other, and their faces were bitter. There are so many cups and plates in front of him, and there are so many good dishes, and he doesn't dare to move a chopstick.
After a cup of tea, some people couldn't help it, and said with a bitter face: "My lord, if you have any orders, just say it, don't be nervous." ”
"Yes, yes, the adults and the new officials take office, and the little ones should prepare a filial piety, please accept it." As he spoke, someone took out the silver, and Hu Zongxian slapped the table suddenly, making everyone's faces change in fright.
"You still have the face to ask this officer, what happened you don't know? So many wolf soldiers ran to the governor's palace to ask for food, I don't believe you haven't heard? Hu Zongxian roared loudly like an angry lion.
The corners of a businessman's mouth twitched twice, and he said timidly: "Isn't that a matter of the imperial court, and we can't fight with eight poles!" ”
Hu Zongxian sneered as if he was looking at an idiot: "It has nothing to do with you? In the huge city of Hangzhou, who has the most food, it's not you, if the wolf soldiers make trouble, you will be the first to be unlucky! ”
The merchant surnamed Yan straightened his neck and said unconvinced: "The wolf soldiers are making trouble, the court should send someone to control it, we only do business, and don't care about the affairs of the court." ”
When the other businessmen heard this, they echoed one after another, and some of them were very polite, saying that you Lord Hu is just a patrolman, and there is a governor on it, and you have an extra breath of air in your nose and eyes, what is it!
Hu Zongxian understood that the merchants in the southeast were far bolder than those in other places, and they were not afraid of being officials, and when he was almost desperate, suddenly a person stood up in the last position, patted the table, and his beard was clear.
"Are you all Pixiu? Just eat and don't pull! If the court is in trouble, how can it be reasonable, I am willing to pay 5,000 taels of silver to help Lord Hu solve the problem. (To be continued.) )
