If Wang Tong was in Liaozhen at this time, he would find that it was much colder than expected, and it was just the beginning of September, and there was actually a light snowfall. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The crops inside and outside the border wall have been harvested and put into storage, some of the young and strong people are repairing their houses and fields, some are preparing to leave home to go fishing and hunting or go into the mountains to collect medicine, and the long winter is about to begin, and they always have to find something to supplement their families.

Hetuara City is not big, it can't even be compared to a third-class county in Beizhili, it is a big town at best, but the Jurchen area outside the border wall is already a big city, surrounded by dozens of villages outside the city, which is similar to the situation of the Ming Dynasty, after all, relying on the walled city, security is guaranteed, and there is also the convenience of trade.

At this time of year, Hetuara would be very lively, and as the center of the Jianzhou Department, Han Chinese, Jurchens and Koreans would come here to do business.

This year is different, there are a few Koreans inside and outside the city, but the Han people from outside the city can't see them, and the local Han people are also cautious.

The Ming Dynasty is going to use troops against the Jurchens, everyone knows about it, Liaozhen generals Li Pinghu and Qin Deyi took turns out of the side wall, the most recent one was less than eighty miles away from Hetuala, and many people in the city fled eastward, and the deep mountains and old forests over there were always unable to chase them.

However, no one expected that the Jianzhou Department would agree, and a large number of soldiers and armor were captured, not to mention the weight of the armor, and there were more than 1,000 prisoners.

After this battle, some old people in the Jianzhou Department were extremely worried, Daming was a behemoth, and thousands of soldiers were really nothing to them, and if they were defeated this time, there would only be more officers and soldiers to fight.

But few people will look so far, most people think that the Ministry of Jianzhou is already a name that can independently pull the flag and enclose the land" At this time, it is coming over to the opportunity to add firewood.

Mo said that it was the Jurchen tribe in the east and north, and even the Goryeo people sent people over to express their goodwill, although it was nothing, "The Goryeo people are the grass on the wall, and whoever is strong will not offend them."

Looking at the heat, but everyone also felt the tense atmosphere, the young and strong men were drawn up again, and there were often Han people in the city who were caught and killed, and the avenues and paths to Liaozhen were set up with checkpoints and cavalry patrols, which made people worry that "now the pedestrians everywhere are basically Jurchen natives wearing leather jackets and fur hats."

Out of Hetuala, after Zaotu Mountain, this way along the Suzi River, walk more than a day to get to the Maerdun Village, there are not many pedestrians on the road, there are two Jurchen men walking on the road "should be together to hunt or visit relatives, they go fast, and stop and go, keep looking around."

"It is said that a month ago, this slave chief went to the north" It's a pity that Lao Wu was cut down by his godson, otherwise he could have known more news. ”

"They know Lao Wu's remorse"

"Knowing a bird, it's not that I covet the property of Lao Wu's family, how many Han people have been killed by these beasts like this, and the women in the family have gotten it, but it's okay on my side" They all thought I was from Lao Linzi's side. ”

"The Jurchen girls here can't take care of it, it's too risky here now, and I don't know who gave the idea to the slave chief" Now you are not allowed to ride horses when you go out of the city, by the way" Do you know that the slave chief asked the people below to buy cattle and horses a month ago, and what white horses and black cattle do you want?"

"This coat color is not easy to find, no, white horses and black bulls are not as good", the two of them just discussed a few words, but heard the sound of horses' hooves behind them, and they were stunned to turn around, but saw more than a dozen horsemen fighting horses to catch up.

At first, I wanted to pretend to be calm, but there were only two of them within the range of vision on the road, and then the person immediately understood, and began to pull out his legs and run wildly, how people could outrun the horse, and the other person reached out and pushed his companion violently, and the companion staggered into the woods on the side of the road, and when he pushed this hand, the rider behind him had already caught up, and he could see the knight's long knife waved on the horse, and a head was immediately cut off.

At the same time, some people turned over and dismounted, and went into the forest with bows and arrows, and not long after, a scream was heard in the woods, and in a short time the man who had chased him came out with his head on his hand.

"If it weren't for those people who came over to report it, I really didn't know that they were also Minggou's spies!"

One said in a rough voice, and the other said with a smile: "Take the head back, divide their family's business with the woman, let's all be happy!" ”

Everyone laughed and drove away, leaving two headless corpses here.

Liaozhen used to be the emperor of the Jurchen place, and Liaozhen also had spies and eyeliner in the Jurchen place, but there were quite a lot of people who acted aggressively, and some people simply used this identity to do business for convenience, as soon as the war came, the fast ones ran away, and the ......ones who couldn't run fast were killed and robbed of their homes, such a big Liao Town, there were always spies buried in it, but after breaking the Liaozhen army, the road traffic was completely blocked, and the soldiers of Liaozhen came here, these soldiers may not all be Han Chinese, there are also Jurchens, They have been in Liaozhen for a long time, and they have dealt with the Han people a lot, and they know more or less the habits of the Han people's work and life, and many of them have been exposed in this way.

Compared with the well-guarded Jurchen side, a large number of Jurchens either fled or took refuge in the name of coming to Liaozhen, where there were already many Jurchens living here, and among the guards of the generals of various families, there were also a certain number of Jurchens because they dared to fight and rush, and they were not afraid of death.

There are even many large Han families in Liao Town, their means of making a fortune is to trade with the Jurchens, and the trade will be cut off at the beginning of the war, but if they can do business secretly, there will be huge profits, and these people have not broken off their ties with the Jurchens.

The current situation is that the Jurchens have blocked their news very well, and the situation on the Liaozhen side seems to be transparent on the Jurchen side, and there is no concealment at all.

Li Chengliang, the chief soldier of Liaozhen, his son, and those military generals who were close to him, they have all taken root in Liaozhen for many years, and they are all natives, and they are very clear about the following situations, and even a few people are still doing business with the Jurchens, exchanging salt and cloth for mountain goods and specialties from the Jurchens, because the special products outside the border wall are now expensive and profitable.

The reason why they are not worried is because they have absolute confidence in the strength of Liaozhen, Liaozhen is now fully mobilized, reorganized for war, after the start of the battle, just push Mount Tai to the top, what resistance will there be in Jurchen, all resistance will be wiped out, now this bit of news and intelligence blockade is nothing, the army is fighting, and no tricks can be played. ………………

"The people who believe in the Xiangjiao sect, regardless of the old and the weak, will be severely sentenced, and give them two choices: either go to Naturalization City, or go to the farm over there." ”

Wang Tong was on duty in the Jinyi Guard's yamen, Wang Tong looked at the case file and said in a deep voice, go to naturalization and go to the full set, these two choices are really equivalent to exile, for people in the Guannei, it is difficult to adapt to the bitter cold land at first glance.

After Si Qianhu Hou Zhen stood aside respectfully, raised his head when he heard Wang Tong's words, and said cautiously: "Uncle Anyuan's family is also involved, and they asked someone to intercede today, saying if they can use silver money to atone for their sins."

"Is it the descendant of An Yuanbo's Guo family?"

Wang Tong's brows furrowed, and Hou Zhen said even more carefully: "It's a nephew of An Yuanbo, his mother-in-law believes in the Xiangjiao, and he also believes it!" ”

"Let's just say that the official said that his nephew went to the north, and he will suffer some hardships but will not hurt his body, and his family will not be harmed, and the rest cannot be accommodating."

Hou Zhen wanted to open his mouth again, but he didn't dare to speak after thinking about it, seeing his expression, Wang Tong said coldly: "It's been less than five years since the Sanyang Sect's disaster, have you forgotten the lesson, this kind of cult pretended to be harmless at the beginning, and after it caused a catastrophe, your few lives were not enough to fill, and how much silver his family gave you was returned, and the dry shares of those shops were not enough for you to spend?" ”

After Wang Tong said a few words, Hou Zhen almost knelt on the ground, and said with a pale face: "The lower official understands, the lower official understands!" ”

Wang Tong waved his hand and said, "Let's go down, let the people of Sanjiang Commercial Bank be too green."

After Hou Zhen cautiously withdrew, Yang Sichen, who had been recording on the side, raised his head and looked at Wang Tong, Wang Tong said in a deep voice: "These old people who run errands in the Jinyi Wei Yamen feel that they can be deceived and concealed, there are some things I can open and close my eyes, this matter is not good, you go and stare at it, it is about the Xiangjiao, catch one and deal with it strictly, whoever wants to do things in Jinyiwei will be punished with three degrees of guilt and strict punishment." ”

Yang Sichen hurriedly got up from his seat and answered, while speaking, there were two shopkeeper-like people outside who hurriedly walked in, the nominal proprietors of the Sanjiang system are Zhang Chunde and Gu Zibin, and there are more than a dozen shopkeepers who have followed Wang Tong from the beginning, originally to do eyeliner or housekeepers, because he was smart and clever and was arranged to the Sanjiang system, and he has slowly boiled up in the past few years, and he can speak in front of Wang Tong, which is considered to have face.

Wang Tong's face was not good, and the two people came in and became even more frosty, and after the two shopkeepers entered the house, they knelt down and kowtowed, and before they could speak, Wang Tong interrupted them first: "You plead for those two people?" There is no need to beg, they will definitely lose their heads, this time the sin is not as good as the family, it is already Benhou Kaien. ”

In the end, they have been following Wang Tong for a long time, and these two people also dare to speak, one of them kowtowed and said: "Those two people have done foolish things with lard, greedy for the silver of the old man, and the little one is willing to pay out of his own pocket to make up for this shortfall, and please ask the Hou Ye to be kind to the two of them for many years." ”

Wang Tong shook his head, his voice became a little heavy: "You don't lack this silver, and I don't lack it, the business is getting bigger and bigger, there are more and more shops, and there is a lot of silver in hand, and some people's minds are active, they must be killed, and they will send people to walk around the shops with the first level, so that everyone can have a vigilance in their hearts."
