Chapter 46 Wu Shiba

The Li family started purchasing and contacted Huguang. The eunuchs in Guangxi purchased military supplies. Their family was very wealthy. Once the money was given, the eunuchs in Guangxi would not refuse it.

The purchase of ordnance began in full swing behind the scenes here, and the same was true on the other side of the Yangtze River. In a fishing port in Kinmen, there were actually more than a dozen large ships anchored here today, but these ships did not stay for long. When it got dark, they headed for Quanzhou.

How far is Kinmen from Quanzhou? It takes less than an hour to arrive.

The place where the fleet docked was a small fishing village. There was naturally no border security in this place. As soon as the boat docked, two to three hundred men appeared out of nowhere. Someone said hello and began to unload items from the bed.

These things were all packed in large boxes, which were obviously very heavy. Almost every box required at least four strong men to carry so many items. It took a whole night to unload them, and at dawn, many more mule carts came.

This group of people had a full meal, rested for a while, and then started to work again. They moved all the goods to the car one after another, stayed for one day, and drove to Yanping Prefecture the next day.

Yanping Prefecture has been an important military town in Fujian since ancient times. The prefecture is extremely dangerous and is adjacent to Shaowu Prefecture. It is known as "Bronze Yanping, Iron Shaowu". Yanping Prefecture is not only a military important place, but also one of the only routes to the north. At that time,

Although its status is not as good as Fuzhou, where it is governed, it is still considered one of the best in Fujian.

This group of people escorted the goods to Yanping Prefecture. On this day, they passed through Yanping Prefecture and went to Nanping County. They took the official road. After all, it is not easy to take such a heavy cargo by a small road. It is still more than ten miles away from Nanping.

When I was in the county, a team came towards me from the road ahead.

This team was beating gongs to clear the way. As soon as they heard the drum beats, they knew that the governor was out for inspection, and soon saw the soldiers opening the way.

The leader of the group of people who pledged the goods was a man in green robes. This person was none other than Gu Huaizhen, the master of the Qinglong Hall of the Zhanlong Gang. Facing the governor's guard of honor, there was no reason not to give way. Gu Huaizhen quickly gave the order

, ask your brothers to step aside

The roads in Fujian are no wider than those in the Central Plains. This road can only accommodate two carriages traveling side by side. The Zhanlong Gang drove the carriages to the right side of the road and made way for half of the road.

At this time, the soldiers who were clearing the way for the governor's honor guard had already arrived. The leader was a guard. He glanced at the men of the Dragon Slayer Gang, and then shouted loudly: "Didn't you see that the governor was out on patrol? If you don't disperse quickly, why don't you?

Are you blocking the road here because you want to rebel?"

The Dragon Slayer Gang is engaged in the business of rebellion. What the general said is absolutely correct. He did not accuse anyone unjustly. However, Gu Huai really felt wronged after hearing this. I have no intention of killing officials and rebelling today. How could you?

What do you mean? He stepped forward with a smile on his face and said: "This general is from a business in Quanzhou. He and some business friends have done some work together. They plan to transport it across the Yangtze River and sell it. You see?

Here we are, the road is so wide, the kids have tried their best.”

"It's easy to say, you tried your best? Isn't there still room down here? Drive the car down there, otherwise, it will hit my family and make you walk around without food." The general pointed to the side of the official road, towards the ditch below.

The ditch under the official road can be four or five paces wide, and beyond that is the corn field. There is no winter in Fujian, so there are still corns that have just been planted.

This ditch is not high, at most sixty or seventy centimeters, and there is a slight slope. If you are not pulling any heavy goods, it is okay for the mule cart to go down it.

Gu Huaizhen glanced at the ditch, weighed the weight of the goods, and worried about an accident, so he said with a smile: "General, it's really inconvenient for us to go down with so many vehicles, please be accommodating." After that,

He winked at a subordinate next to him.

The man understood immediately, took a few steps to the general's horse, took out an ingot worth twelve weights of silver from his arms, and said carefully: "General, this small gesture is not respectful, please accept it and buy a pot of wine to drink."

The general manager glanced at the money and wanted to accept it, but he didn't seem to dare to snort coldly and said: "I've been accommodating to you, who will be accommodating to me? When the master comes over later and sees you blocking the way, he has to pull me out."

If you delay any longer, don't blame me for being rude!" As he spoke, the general manager raised his riding whip, as if waiting for his riding whip to fall, his soldiers would rush forward and take action.

In fact, it’s not surprising that the boss is like this, because the governor behind him is really not easy to serve Wu Sinan, the governor of Fujian. This man has a very weird temper. Anyone and anything that he doesn’t like will be bad luck to the other person, and he will not obey him when doing things.

Zhang Fa is famous for being difficult to serve. Many people are wondering how a person like this got involved with the governor. Yue Su is already considered a weirdo in the officialdom. Only with the respect of the Carpenter Emperor can he climb so high. This Lord Wu

How did you mix it up?

Speaking of this, it has something to do with Yue Su. Let me start with Wu Sinan’s resume. Wu Sinan, Zi Taixie, was born in Huzhou, Zhejiang. His father was a county magistrate who returned from old age. Because his father was an official before, Wu Sinan naturally received a good education.

, but Master Wu’s book reading is really not very good. His writing style is mediocre, and his intelligence is not obvious. It is estimated that he can be admitted as a scholar, which is already good. Who would have thought that Master Wu could easily pass the exam?

Scholar, he was only the 18th; in the provincial examination, he actually passed the exam, and was ranked 18th again; in the final examination, he unexpectedly passed the exam again, and strangely, he was still ranked 18th;

Even after the imperial examination, he was ranked eighteenth. From then on, people who knew him well gave him a nickname - Wu Shiba

Wu Da's talents were average, but his temper was extraordinary. After the palace examination, he was awarded the title of Shujishi. It was because of his temper that he entered the Hanlin Academy. He never got along with his colleagues, so he was sent to another place to be a local official.

, he also came out of the Hanlin Academy. As soon as he arrived, he became a famous official.

After he became an official, Wu Shiba was nicknamed "difficult to maintain" by his subordinates. However, when it came to work, his political performance was indeed good. In these years, the leader has always disliked subordinates with bad tempers, but no matter what,

Someone is also needed to do the work, and they can't all be flatterers. Just like that, Wu Sinan still got a promotion and has been working as a Tongzhi. However, for him, the official position of Tongzhi seems to be the end of it.

I never thought that when Yue Su came to power a few years ago and tried his best to promote capable but unsuccessful officials, Wu Sinan was suddenly selected. Over the past few years, with his extraordinary political achievements, he was promoted step by step until he became the governor of Fujian. However,

What’s funny is that Yue Su and Wu Sinan have never met each other so far

This time Wu Sinan rushed to Yanping from Fuzhou, where the government was based. Although he was on a patrol, he also had another purpose, which was to scold the Yanping prefect for what he had done. It turned out to be a trivial matter. This year's commercial tax, Yanping Prefecture is better than in previous years.

I paid five hundred taels less.

Being able to make a special trip to scold one's subordinates for this matter is rare in ancient times and modern times because, generally speaking, one should invite subordinates to Fuzhou to scold them.

After scolding the prefect of Yanping, Wu Sinan stayed in the city for a day and then went back. With such a strange temper, none of his subordinates should be careful. So, after seeing the money, the boss thought about it and still didn't dare to accept it.

And raised the whip, as if ready to take action

Seeing that the other party didn't buy it, Gu Huaizhen had no choice. He couldn't fight with the officers and soldiers here. The outcome was slim. If he lost the goods he had just transported, he would be in trouble. He took a long breath and thought in his heart.

Cursing secretly, "You bastard, just wait for me. Don't let me meet you again."

Thinking this in my heart, I could only give in and said: "Okay... guys, drive all the cars down and make way for the big boss..." The Dragon Slayer Gang has always been domineering, no matter where they go.

, if others don’t give way to him, they will face blood. He has never suffered such a loss, no matter how much he dares to pick up a guy to rebel. Seeing this today, the opponent has a large number of people, and there are only a thousand soldiers and horses behind him.

, there must be eight hundred. If a fight breaks out, who will see blood? It’s hard to tell immediately. I have to hold my breath and drive the mule cart down the ditch.

The mule carts carried heavy cargo. How could it be so easy to be unlucky when driving down? There was a mule cart. As soon as the mule stepped down with its front foot, the mule's body was crushed and lost its center of gravity. It fell directly to the side and followed.

With a "clang" sound, the car hit the ground hard

Although the boxes on the car were tied, they could not withstand such a blow. One box was shattered immediately, and the goods inside spilled out. "It's a musket!" The handlers on the road and all the officers and soldiers were watching the fun, and suddenly looked

When the box shattered and the muskets were exposed, they shouted loudly and showed off their weapons. They had some experience. Knowing that they had encountered a fierce person, they quickly shouted: "Go and inform the Lord!"

Yes, the other side dares to blatantly escort guns, how can they be kind?

When Gu Huaizhen saw the musket exposed, he was immediately dumbfounded. He also saw the officers and soldiers showing off their weapons and about to start a fight in the blink of an eye. He really didn't care anymore and shouted loudly: "Brothers, fight with them!" After that, from

The car on one side drew the long sword, and the first one rushed forward.

The members of the Dragon Slayer Gang were all fierce bandits. When they saw the leader charging forward, what were they waiting for? They took their weapons one by one and followed them to kill them.

In this area of ​​Fujian, since the Japanese pirates were wiped out, there has been peace. The soldiers have no quality at all. They can only bully ordinary people. Seeing that the other party did not run away, but rushed towards them, they panicked first.

Gu Huaizhen rushed in front, raised his hand with a sword, and directly stabbed the leader, Ma Lai, to death. The soldiers around him were stunned, and followed closely, turning around and running away. Gu Huaizhen knew that at this time, he would definitely

He couldn't be lenient. Once the officers and soldiers were slowed down, he would never take away the firearms he had just bought. So, instead of doing anything, he shouted loudly, "Brothers, charge with me and kill all the officers and soldiers!"

After saying that, he straightened his sword and continued to rush forward.
