Chapter 1011: Go west to Xuzhou
Some people talked about good luck, but Xie Mingxian knew that he had left an extra fifty taels of gold, and then left a note threatening, saying that we would be guarded outside, and if you reported to the official, the entire Zhuangzi would be washed in blood, and then ordered, if you report to the official, do you still want to keep this one hundred and fifty taels of gold? Can this Zhuangzi keep the officials and soldiers from harming?
In the past few days in the village, more than all the way officials and soldiers have come to inquire, look at the menacing appearance, the village is closed doors, Zhuang Ding on the wall, do not dare to have the slightest relaxation, not to mention the news from other places, saying that the official and military activities are unscrupulous, killing people and robbing money have done a lot, this coercion and temptation, presumably the people in charge of the village have understood.
Just came to the territory of Luoma Lake Yutou Town, by smelling each other's fragrance, plus the gold is enough, Cao Chuan Cao Ding, who was held hostage by them, decided to help them say hello, at this time, Xie Mingxian did not dare to relax in the slightest, he and his subordinates who came out made it clear, this time it was a gamble, if the other party is willing to surrender, then everyone still has a way to live, if the other party is unwilling, then fight out to each other's destiny, Wen Tiejun is very dissatisfied with his decision, and has always wanted to find an opportunity to rush out, Helplessly, the regimental training of the Zhao Zi battalion was heavily guarded, and as soon as the news came out, there were no boats that dared to approach them on the huge Luoma Lake, and there were many boats to block the road, and when the large group of people and horses came, there would be no way to escape, only a dead end.
After experiencing these things in Yutou Town, Xie Mingxian and his subordinates realized what kind of force Zhao Ziying was, and they could control all the forces on the transportation of the people, and in Nanzhili and other places like the heart of the Ming Dynasty, they were like the government, and they were rampant to this point, and they were not wronged if they were defeated, and everyone obediently got off the boat to accept the arrangement.
Xie Mingxian and his entourage are not surprised by the prosperity of Yutou Town, Daming is leaning on the edge of this canal, or lucky to be located in the canal node, all of them are born by the benefits of Caoyun, Jining and Linqing's wealth and prosperity are more than here, here is not too much, strictly speaking, Yutou Town is really nothing compared to Liaoyang, Shenyang and Guangning and other big cities in Liao Town.
They were escorted to Xuzhou, more than 700 people naturally did not have the treatment of cars and horses, they could only go on foot, after leaving Yutou Town, they only felt that the road was smooth and wide, the roadside farmland was neat, the ditches were vertical and horizontal, and the people and pedestrians walking on the road were comfortable and calm, even if they were in a hurry, they were also living in the appearance of the peaceful and happy season. Thirty miles out of the city from Jining, you can see starvation.
Xie Mingxian and the more they walked, the more stunned they became, not only near Yutou Town, but also along the way, to put it bluntly, the public security is good, the fields and houses are neat, and they don't have to worry about food and clothing, this is obviously the boundary of the Ming Dynasty, obviously their own family came by boat, and they didn't fly elsewhere, nor did they go to the fairy country of the world, but why can they see such a scene of living and working in peace and contentment?
In Liaozhen, in Shandong, we have not seen the rich and luxurious weather, and the prosperity is not unseen, but we have never seen the people living and working in peace and contentment, such an orderly situation, when can the people of Daming live such a day?
Like those who first arrived in Xuzhou in the past, Xie Mingxian also thought that it was face-saving goods, what they saw was only for the outside to see, and it was not necessarily a dilapidated and poor appearance when they went farther, but they themselves did not believe in such words, and the people who were still escorted were quite magnanimous, as long as they didn't run around, no one cared too much about them.
From Yutou Town to Xuzhou, it takes three days and three nights or even more to walk all the way along the river, just walking all the way forward, Xie Mingxian suddenly found that his more than 700 people can get supplies along the way, every day of travel, when staying in accommodation, everyone can eat enough, you must know that their more than 700 people plus more than 1,000 people escorted, nearly 2,000 people eat a day, but it is a large amount, and they are so casual to eat three meals a day?
You must know that in the Wenxiang Sect, there are less than 4,000 people who can eat three meals a day, and even the head of the core battalion can only have such treatment when they are in battle, and this Zhao Zi battalion can do it casually? Xie Mingxian also deliberately observed the escorted family members to see if they were gobbling up, and it could be seen from the speed of eating, whether there was such treatment on weekdays?
When he saw the family members of the Zhao Ziying horse team breaking grain cakes to feed the horses, Xie Mingxian finally knew that what he saw along the way was not for outsiders to see, but seeing this, Xie Mingxian was just distressed, thinking that how could such a good grain cake be fed to the livestock, it was too wasteful.
Xie Mingxian and they left Yutou Town for about half a day, they saw the regimental training company patrolling along the road, looking at the queue and pace are neat, and the weapons are also sophisticated, they can't help but sigh a few words, saying that the defeat of the Wenxiang Sect in Shandong is not wronged, and the ordinary battalion head of the soldiers and horses in Xuzhou actually has such a spirit, but when he said this, he was escorted to their family and said a few words, saying that this is an ordinary battalion head, this is no chance to go into battle, in the Zhao Ziying family Ding group training, even the third class is not ranked.
Everyone thought that the family who escorted them bragged, but they encountered several times in succession, these patrol teams went to the side of the road to dodge, and the family who escorted them obviously showed a proud look, and the difference between the high and the low was obvious, after seeing this scene, everyone said that they didn't bother to say, and against such a force, the defeat was not unjust, only blamed the sect leader Xu Hongru for being too whimsical, and thought that he could sweep away the chaotic people and completely crush Xuzhou, how could such strength be shaken?
Xie Mingxian and his team of prisoners walked on the main road, but in non-war times, merchants and people gave priority, and their team often had to avoid passing merchants and convoys when walking on the road, and later made the escort team annoying, and directly led everyone to march on the side of the road, and then went to the official road when they encountered a place with farmland.
"What do you do by digging a ditch on the side of the road? Could it be that it is to bury the road? "Your brain is broken, this is drainage, after the rain, the rain will be drained down this ditch, tsk, how much work does it take, back then only the big houses above the guerrilla level in Liao Town had such regulations!"
"This tree is really good, on this sunny day, there are some shade trees, and it is comfortable to walk underneath, but unfortunately this tree is too small, if it grows up, it will be different."
After two days of walking, although the family members who escorted them were relatively peaceful, they did not beat and scold at will, nor did they extort and exploit, they just carried out the task, such an attitude made Xie Mingxian's team relax a lot, and they began to have time to observe the environment along the way, this is also the boundary of Daming, and the population is also wearing Daming clothes and Daming faces, but this side is completely different from Liaozhen and Shandong.
Xie Mingxian observed more carefully than his subordinates, when talking about the shade of the trees, he noticed that the trees on the side of the road were small trees that had only grown for a few years, so to speak, this road regulation system was not left in the past, but Zhao Jin operated, in fact, looking at the different places along the way, there is such a feeling, that is, it is very new, not only surprised by his own side, many of the business travelers encountered along the way, many of them are obviously from other provinces, the first time they came, they were all looking left and right, full of surprise, from which can also be judged, This side is not from the past, but Zhao Jin made it.
Wenxiang Sect chaos in Shandong, from Xu Hongru down, everyone knows that Xuzhou is bound to move, and Xuzhou is the biggest threat to Wenxiang Sect, so they have to desperately accumulate strength and set up a bureau to fight, but no one expected that Xuzhou Zhao Zi Battalion was actually strong to this point, after hearing the battle situation reported by his subordinates, Xie Mingxian already knew that this Zhao Zi Battalion was not something that Wen Xiang Sect could shake, that is, at that time, he began to speed up his back road arrangement.
Xie Mingxian has traveled and lived in Liaozhen, Shandong and Beizhili, and has seen the strength of various officers and soldiers, compared with the two, Zhao Ziying is the most powerful, and it is no longer possible to use the standard of evaluating the officers and troops to measure this Xuzhou's "regimental training and township bravery", with such strength, and steadily and actively expand outward, rooted in management, Xie Mingxian can of course guess that this Zhao Jin has lofty ambitions, but he wonders that it is here, with such ambitions, then as long as the soldiers and horses are trained diligently, it is good to expand outward, and the internal stability can be maintained, why do you want to build like this, This side is like a blessed land of immortals, doesn't he know that this little Xuzhou is just a temporary place to live, if he has lofty ambitions, Zhao Jin's goal should be elsewhere, or what Zhao Jin has done is for the peace and happiness, and there is no such great ambition?
In this confusion, they entered the boundary of Xuzhou, and after entering Xuzhou, Xie Mingxian and these people were even more surprised, they didn't expect that the prosperity here would even exceed that of Pizhou, you must know that there is a distance from the canal, not to mention that the people of Shandong in Lunan know that after the canal is diverted, Xuzhou will immediately wither, how can it be prosperous to this point.
Around the village next to the official road, there are often workshops, some of them have a strong smell of wine, some have the smell of nitrate leather, and there are piles of bamboo and wood like a hill outside, there are also blacksmith workshops that smoke and fire, and the oxen and horses are constantly passing through, and the official road they take is along the Yellow River, and they can see the carts coming out of the village to the riverside ferry, sending the goods to the boats, and then going east to the west.
"The Yellow River boats I saw in Pizhou all came from Xuzhou?" "I thought it was from Henan and Shanxi provinces!" These words were spoken by knowledgeable characters in Xie Mingxian's team, who knew that the Yellow River flowed through several provinces.
The people I saw on the road were all in a hurry, and no one was willing to delay the time to make money, such a hurry made Xie Mingxian very unaccustomed, even in the desperate and hungry Shandong wasteland, the movement of the displaced people was slow, everyone had nothing to do, naturally they would not cherish time, of course, there was no way to go fast over there, because there was no strength when hungry.
