Lord of the House

Vol 6 Chapter 17: open the gate

(The first update, Da Zhang, ask for a red ticket)

"What, Lin Fu wants to bring troops into the city, absolutely not, absolutely can't let him bring troops into the city!" Shandong Xuanfu envoy Ge Zufang heard that Lin Fu sent a letter to enter Shouguang City to discuss the aftermath of the mutiny in Changyi , he reacted violently and jumped up against it like a cat who stepped on its tail.

"Master Ge, be calm and don't be impatient," Shandong Admiral Chen Debiao patiently appeased Ge Zufang, and said, "Lin Fu only brought his guards into the city, and he didn't ask Jiangdong Zuo troops to enter Shouguang. Master Liu has four thousand Qingzhou in the city. Bing, are you still afraid that Lin Bing will not be able to bring three or five hundred people into the city?" He turned his head to look at Liu Yefei again, narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Master Liu, what do you think?" He waved his hand at everyone in the hall. "Let's also talk about whether or not to open this city gate. It's not an exaggeration to say that it's wrong, just brainstorm!"

In the hall, in addition to him, Ge Zufang, Chen Debiao and other Shandong county officials, there are Shouguang magistrates, county magistrates, county magistrates and others standing in the hall, waiting for them to decide whether to open the city gate or close the city gate and ignore Lin Fujin. City's request. Tang Haoxin didn't show up in the inn, and sent someone to invite him. He only said that he knew about it, but he was a little unwell, and it was inconvenient to go out to get some air.

"I'm stupid and stupid. I always feel that there are advantages to opening this city gate, and that if it doesn't open, there are advantages to not opening it. I really don't know whether to open it or not." Du Juefu, the magistrate of Shouguang, said respectfully, " It is all up to you adults to make the decisions, and Shouguang County will do their best to cooperate. It is rare for you to gather in Shouguang County, Shouguang County has many difficulties, just take this opportunity to complain to you adults..."

"Yes, yes, yes," Ge Zufang waved his hand to stop Du Juefu from continuing, "You've been nagging about the difficulties of Shouguang seventeen or eight times, don't you find it annoying, my ears are getting calluses, and now it's not just Shouguang county. Difficulty..."

"Yes, yes, I've been nagging at my humble job." Du Juefu bowed his hands and apologized, and then retreated calmly, even if he had expressed his stance on this matter.

Ge Zufang was stunned for a moment, giving Du Juefu such a distraction, and almost forgot what he said just now.

The officials were all perfect. Chen Debiao looked at several officials in Shouguang County and gave each other a wink, and cursed in his stomach: Do your best to cooperate with the fart. There is no indication of the rewards and salaries, and the local squires have no intention of rewarding or condolences, and even refuse to hand over the Shouguang city defense completely. In addition, they are constantly complaining about this disaster in Shouguang, and they are constantly demanding Qingzhou Prefecture and Shandong Prefecture Secretary. Allocating money and food to help the place.

When Chen Debiao was in Qingzhou, he originally made up his mind to stand on Liu Yefei's side. After arriving in Shouguang, he inadvertently found that the local officials of Shouguang County were biased towards Jiangdong Zuojun in this matter, but Liu Yefei, as Shandong inspector, also They are also their immediate superiors, who are also in charge of the educated youth state government, forcing them to pretend to be deaf and mute on many things.

But just pretending to be deaf and passive* also shows their stance.

Lin Fu and Jiangdong Zuojun were supported by Tang Haoxin, and Liu Yefei was supported by Zhang Xie and Yue Lengqiu. It is said that Lin Fu and Jiangdong Zuojun are at an absolute disadvantage. After all, Tang Haoxin does not have much real power in the DPRK. Lin Fu and Jiangdong Zuojun will return to Jiangdong, and they will still be controlled by Yue Lengqiu, the governor of Jianghuai, but in Shouguang County The attitude is so intriguing.

If you think about it, if it wasn't for Lin Fu and Jiangdong Zuo's army to attract the main force of the eastern front of the captive soldiers in Yangxin and defeat them, it is really difficult to say whether Shouguang City could have been preserved. The army should also feel good about it. But just relying on this kind of goodwill is not enough to make Shouguang County local officials * their immediate boss, Chen Debiao inconvenient to travel in Shouguang City, but he sent all his staff out, but inquired about some situations.

Jinhai stores grain, and Shouguang is also one of the important grain-raising areas. For example, in the towns of Yingkou and Mikou under the jurisdiction of Shouguang County, there are also grain merchants, caravans and maritime merchants who cooperate with Jiangdong Zuojun. It is hard to imagine that local officials in Shouguang County did not learn Enjoy the benefits.

Shouguang's current situation is that it is beneficial to have food, and it is not beneficial to have no food. There may even be other changes due to lack of food.

Ge Zufang, Liu Yefei and others acted too hastily and forced out of Changyi to mutiny, and then dispatched the army to suppress the Hegang congregation, which directly blocked Jimo's food route to Changyi and Shouguang, and angered Lin Bingyongbing to march into Shandong - find out With these questions, it is not difficult to understand which side the officials of Shouguang County will sit on.

Chen Debiao thought that Lin Fu's behavior of deploying troops without authorization would make the court and the Ministry of War move quickly and strongly reprimanded - the mutiny in Changyi on the 13th, Liu Yefei mobilized the Qingzhou army to suppress the mutinous Hegang congregation on the 16th, and Lin Fu on the 16th. In Jinhai, I received news that the Jiangdong Left Army was assembled, and they raised troops to attack Shandong in the early morning of the 17th. Up to now, until the twilight of the 21st, there has been no news from the DPRK. Such a long time was enough to make Babaili rush back and forth twice, so Chen Debiao couldn't help but feel strange.

At a time when the world's communication methods were backward, Chen Debiao had no confidants in Jinhai to pass the news to him in a timely manner, making it difficult for him to grasp the overall situation.

Even though Chen Debiao wouldn't take the initiative to hook up with the arrogant and self-defeating Lin Bie, he knew that he had to keep a distance from Liu Yefei at this time to prevent Liu Yefei from being overwhelmed and dragging himself into the abyss together.

Thinking of this, Chen Debiao looked at Liu Yefei with those two big eyes and said, "Master Liu, you have a definite idea: should you open the city gate and let Lin Bie in to talk about things, or block him back? In short, I believe you don't. I'm worried about what kind of monsters Lin Bian will bring three to five hundred people into the city..."

With such a run on Chen Debiao, Liu Yefei's face was even more ugly. He was very reluctant to let Lin Fu come into the city, but he had no excuse for refusing Lin Fu to enter the city.

It was useless for Ge Zufang to speak for Liu Yefei first, but Chen Debiao stopped in front of him and said, "Since Lin Fu wants to enter the city, he also has a good attitude to resolve the matter, so it is hard to force him to use troops against Qingzhou. At that time, no matter what the consequences are, I am afraid that we will have to bear a little more responsibility."

Ge Zufang hesitated, but it was really difficult to decide, and finally looked at Liu Yefei with a sigh, and said, "Master Liu, make your decision!"

Liu Yefei felt quite helpless, and if he persisted, he would be left alone. After all, Lin Fu came to discuss the aftermath of the mutiny in Changyi, and he had already taken a step back. If he continued to stretch, if something really happened, he would lose a more tenable position. Liu Yefei thought for a while, but there was no other good plan, he waved his hand, and said to Du Juefu, the magistrate of Shouguang County, "Go open the city gate!" Several local officials of the third grade came forward to greet him.

************

Shouguang diverted water from the Mi River into the moat, and the Mi River had a small pier in the north of Shouguang City. The first battalion of the Jiangdong Left Army changed from Yingkou Town to multi-paddle speedboats, and arrived at the north of Shouguang City at dusk.

Lin Fu disembarked and landed, accompanied by Sun Wenwan, Sun Wenbing, and Lin Mengde, who were dressed as men. They strolled in the courtyard to appreciate the scenery of the early spring in the north of Shouguang City. The tender green grass had sprung up all over the mountains and fields.

Most of the northern part of Shandong is still once a year. This is the season for planting spring wheat. The villagers will not be affected by the disputes between the Jiangdong Zuo Army and the Qingzhou Army. There are still many villagers working in the fields at dusk. I just felt that after the Donglu retreated, the world returned to normal.

Gyeonggi can't be chaotic, not only for the millions of people, but more importantly, apart from the Yanshan defense line, there is no decent defense line in the entire north. The chaos in Gyeonggi can only be cheap. Once the Yanshan defense line collapses, it is likely to be a thousand miles away, and it is not possible to establish a stable defense line until the Huaihe River.

"The city gate is open!" Sun Wenwan exclaimed softly.

Lin Fu turned around and saw that the north gate of Shouguang was slowly opening at this time. The gates of the four cities of Shouguang were still in the form of suspension bridges. The officials in robe, surrounded by dozens of yamen, went out of the city to greet him.

"It's a local official in Shouguang. The middle-aged man at the head is Du Juefu, the magistrate. The Du family is the owner of the land in Shouguang. In this incident, he should not support Liu Yefei, but the local voice is weak, and he can't get any opinions. Go to the center." Sun Wenbing said, he was responsible for raising grain, military and other materials in Shandong on behalf of the Jiangdong Zuo Army some time ago, and he was also the main official who coordinated the sea-cao transportation affairs in Shandong on behalf of the Jinhai Metropolitan Water Transportation Department, and worked with Shouguang, Changyi, Dengzhou, Local officials from Laizhou and other coastal counties in northern Shandong have a lot of contacts and have a deep understanding of Du Juefu and the Du family.

"Oh, then we can't be neglectful." Lin Bie laughed. He has always been careful not to spoil the relationship with the local government. Only the more support and the wider the base of supporters obtained, can we really talk about it. Well-founded, rogue or short-sighted warlords don't understand why.

Seeing Du Juefu and others approaching, Lin Fu led Lin Mengde, Sun Wenbing, Sun Wenwan and others to greet them, bowed their hands and said, "Lord Laodu came out of the city to welcome you, it's really a sin..."

"The situation is not what I want to see right now," Du Juefu bowed in return. "All the lords of the county are treating each other in the city. We are late when we go out of the city. I hope Lord Lin will not feel that Shouguang is neglected."

"How dare you?" Lin Fu said with a smile, "I have been staying in Jinhai because of trivial matters, but I really wanted to take a trip to Shouguang, but I didn't expect to make the trip under such circumstances, and it was not what I wanted."

"What's the situation of Shouguang City Defense?" Lin Mengde interrupted and asked.

"It's not during the war, and the county secretary has no reason to take over the defense of Shouguang City," Du Juefu said. "The North City Gate has also arranged a team of county swordsmen and archers as usual. Mr. Lin led the guards into the city, and my Du family had a guard against the North City Gate. The house is quite big, and the grievance Lord Lin rests there for a while..."

Du Juefu's meaning is also obvious. He can't directly hand over the defense of the North City Gate to the Jiangdong Zuo Army, but if something happens, it is easy for the Jiangdong Zuo Army to control the North City Gate.

Tang Haoxin had a high position and would not come out to meet him, so he sent Ma Chao out of the city to meet him. Ma Chao saluted Lin Fu, and also confirmed to Lin Fu and the others that the Shandong Commander did not make any special arrangements in the city.

Ma Chao and Tang Haoxin were also quite surprised that Lin Fu suddenly entered Shouguang City to discuss the aftermath of the mutiny in Changyi. Come on, Lin Fu can do such a thing.

Since Lin Fu is willing to take a step back, the matter is easy to solve. After all, the court still has to retain some dignity and face. As long as the last layer of the court's face is not taken off, many things can be said: Could it be that the chaos in Gyeonggi is going to cause trouble to Zhang? Xie, what are the benefits to the dignitaries in Beijing?

Lin Mengde dragged Lin Fu and Shouguang officials to chat outside the city. Ao Canghai led the first battalion soldiers to enter Shouguang North City quickly from the suspension bridge. After confirming that there was nothing unusual in Shouguang North City, Lin Fucai and Shouguang local officials entered the city together. go.

As soon as Lin Fu and Shouguang County officials entered the North City Gate, a large group of soldiers rushed north from the South Street aggressively, with weapons in their hands, and the formation was not neat. His chest hair came, and he didn't know if it was dog blood or pig blood. He smeared several streaks on his chest and forehead. He looked very ferocious. Trouble for the brothers. He is a pig farmer, and he doesn't urinate to take care of his own virtues. What qualifications does he have to liquidate our Qingzhou army, brothers, work together to drive the pig herds out of the city. Good day - he'll dare to stick around and break their dog's legs!"

Without Lin Fu's instructions, Ao Canghai led the soldiers to quickly establish a blocking formation on the long street, and quickly controlled the houses on both sides of the street and the Beicheng Gate Tower behind him.

Lin Fu's face was a little dark, and more than a hundred steps away, the shouts of these soldiers were mixed together. I don't understand why they thought that the Jiangdong Zuo Army entered the city to liquidate their Qingzhou Army? He stared at the large group of soldiers, and there was no panic. He had already gained some fame in Yangxin for killing rebel generals. It was no wonder that the Qingzhou Army, which was mainly composed of recruits and defeated soldiers, was afraid of him coming into the city.

Du Juefu and other officials in Shouguang County did not expect the situation in front of them at all, panicked and didn't know what to do.

The sentry officer Liu Zhenzhi and his soldiers wanted to control Du Juefu and other Shouguang County officials. Lin Bing waved his hand to stop him from doing so. He just blocked more than a dozen Shouguang County yamen on the periphery. The soldiers of the Qingzhou Prefecture army rushed over in a disorderly manner~www.wuxiamtl.com~ Their arrogance and arrogance did not diminish, but they did not seem to be premeditated, and sent the order in a deep voice: "The arrows are issued as a warning, and the limit is fifty paces. Those who enter rashly, Kill without mercy!"

Several warning arrows were fired in tandem, digging into the pavement of the street, causing stone chips to splash. Compared with the splattering of stone chips, the piercing and sharp sound rang through the city, which was even more shocking.

After a moment of death-like silence, the leading group came back to their senses, raised their arms and shouted, "Damn, I'm scared to be a big dick, **** me, even a pig herd wouldn't dare to kill. We are in the city. There are 4,000 brothers in there, they must dare to do it, kill them and chop them up to make meat stuffing, and give the brothers a meal!" The people who raised their arms and shouted did not move, but a dozen people were agitated with blood, and they stepped over aggressively. A warning line is formed by the sound of arrows.

Ao Canghai looked back and saw Lin Bie, Lin Bie took off the saber from his waist, pressed the machine, and the saber popped out, revealing a string of ice-cold sword light. Du Juefu and other local officials didn't understand the meaning of Lin Fu's action, so their buttocks were smoking, and they said on the side: "Quickly send someone to find Lord Liu and Lord Chen, these are rebels, and Lord Liu can suppress them by coming here. ."

In front of him, Ao Canghai took a big bow from the soldier next to him, and ordered, "The archers in the front row obey the order, and those who cross the line will be killed without mercy!" He took out three arrows from the quiver and bit them into his mouth again. With an arrow on the string, he did not shoot the soldiers who crossed the line, but shot four arrows straight at the chest of the leaders who were the most instigators of trouble...

The width of the long street was limited, so the archers in the front row could not line up 30 people, but they were all good archers, and they didn't show mercy. A row of arrows shot, and a dozen people who crossed the line fell to the ground with arrows. , also stood there as if frightened stupidly, not daring to retreat, even more afraid to enter.
