Chapter 119 Chao Mansion Meeting
Chao Gai didn't like to enter Baoshan and was empty-handed. He spent money like flowing water in Jinling City, purchased a lot of essential supplies, and asked Ruan Xiaowu to hire a ship. He didn't have much money on him, and Guo Sheng was very competent and brought two settlement fees.
One is from Wang Dingliu and the other is from Xue Yong!
Halfway through, he handed over a hundred taels of gold to the two of them, making the latter's eyes moist. When the team arrived at the village shop by the river, Wang Dingliu arranged a banquet in advance. Everyone gave in to the table, cheered up, laughed, and shouted. There were endless intimate words and endless friendly wine...
Coincidentally.
This scene is similar in Chaojiazhuang, Jeju, Shandong.
Zhiduoxing Wu Yong and the sick pharmacist Xiao Jiasui led the team to arrive safely. The refugee team heading north from Jinghu Road absorbed strong men and people who could not survive along the way. There were already 30,000 people coming to Jeju.
This is almost half of the population of the county town!
In order to avoid expanding the impact, or to reduce the impact, the two resourceful military advisors discussed and turned into more than a dozen teams transporting food, entering Jeju from different paths and time.
Then they flocked to Chaojiazhuang in batches to settle down!
This situation lasted for five or six days, and the team was not completely settled until yesterday.
The plan of the two military advisors really worked!
The impact caused was minimal, with three or five thousand refugees pouring into Jeju, and all of them were taken over by Chao Dashan, which did not cause chaos in the surrounding area.
The magistrate of Jeju and several magistrates were too late to be grateful to Chao Gai, so how could he send someone to inspect? Even Jeju, Yuncheng took the initiative to transfer grain to provide relief to refugees. Chao Gai, a good person, did not have any incidents of borrowing grain in Jeju for several months.
Repaying the people is worthy of praise!
The refugees have little impact and the mission is completed perfectly.
Only then did Wu Yong welcome the newly joined heroes!
Chaojiazhuang is booming! It is a famous commercial exchange center in Shandong. It gathers caravans on Junzhou Road, Henan, Shaanxi, Hebei and other places. Every day, it drives cattle and sheep and transports food, grass and other supplies.
It can only be said that there are sufficient supplies and abundant ingredients of all kinds.
There are everything flying in the sky, running on the ground, and swimming in the water. Seafood wrapped in ice is the best proof, and the banquet is high in specifications.
In addition, all the chefs in the Chao Mansion were taught by Chao Gai step by step. The delicious dishes made are varied in style, unique in taste, and complete in color, fragrance and taste.
The best wine is enough, and the whole banquet is extremely harmonious.
Feng Tai and Feng Tai sang loudly, laughing loudly, and were very lively. They were just because the two reckless men were surging in recent days and were very excited.
Not to mention them, even Yuan Lang, Du Ji, Wei He, Ma Jin, Ma Fang, Liu Yijing, Shangguan Yi, and even Xiao Jiasui, everyone was in a mood. After returning to Chaojiazhuang, what they saw and heard was shocking.
Tall and sturdy earth walls, spacious and flat streets, shops and restaurants, residential areas and military areas, commercial areas and exchanges, etc.
How could this be an ordinary farmhouse? It is clearly a rapidly developing city. Although it is not as good as the capital at present, its development potential is definitely greater.
Because of the importance of the people, there are no corrupt officials, only brotherhood!
There was such a giant bandit beside the bed. The Song Dynasty was so terrible. It was over! Xiao Jiasui thought of the money Wu Yong said to settle everything. Looking at the laughter and joy of a group of ferocious men, she couldn't help but feel silent for the fate of the Song Dynasty.
Chao Gai, it’s indeed a hero!
Yuan Lang, sir, Ma Jin just wished he could not play together early.
Du Jie and Wei He felt how naive it was to be king on Mulan Mountain before. In front of this tycoon, he didn't even deserve to carry his shoes. Among the seven or eight barracks in front, back, left and right, each of them was as fierce as a tiger.
I'm afraid there will be seven or eight thousand people!
Especially more than half of them are equipped with leather armor or even iron armor, which is even more regular than regular army. The orders are prohibited, the military rules are strict, and the combat effectiveness is far beyond that.
In addition, there is a guarding army in the restaurant, and the navy in the water pond has more than 20,000 people.
What a courage to practice a thirty or twenty thousand horses?
Thinking of all kinds, the newly joined heroes opened up their horizons and saw a new path. They all felt hot, shouted and actively integrated into the Chao Group.
Wu Yong, Su Ding, Chao Qiang, Yang Lin, Xiao Rang, Jin Dajian, Hou Jian, Zhu Fu and Bai Sheng who informed him that there were more than ten people who replaced Chao Gai and warmly treated these brothers, toasted them one by one, and ate and drank well...
Both sides exchanged cups, laughed, talked intimate words, chatted with thoughtfulness, or buried their heads and shook their cheeks, and ate the back of their teeth.
All kinds of dishes, wine and fruits are served like flowing water.
The reception banquet was late from noon to hold the lights.
Everyone had a big belly, a round waist, a red face, a thick neck, and a burp. The mat was removed, the doors and windows were closed tightly, and the guards outside took three steps and one whistle every five steps.
The main guard in the middle is Chao Gai's free time.
Wu Yong sat on the left and Xiao Jiasui sat on the right.
Nearly twenty civil and military brothers, Su Ding, Chao Qiang, Du Ji and Wei He, sat together.
"Brothers, we have worked hard to make such a prosperous Chaojiazhuang. We have never stole or robbed others, nor exploited the people. We even took the initiative to fight against Liangshan to ensure the health of the people and the wealthy families around us. But even so, we are still remembered by those corrupt officials..."
As one of the oldest veterans, Wu Yong stood up first to tell the situation he encountered. Wang Lun, the Liangshan Mountain manched, dared not show up. The fleet rushed over and paid the escort fee to the Chao Mansion was very considerable, but it attracted a peek at Yunzhou.
Not only did he set up an official ferry, he actually crossed the border many times to recruit Chao Mansion ships.
Wu Yong informed the whole story and gritted his teeth again: "Everyone, the bird in Yunzhou ran to the mansion again and came with the recruitment order."
"Be arrogant and abuse your power, and be killed!" Xiao Jiasui knew it but was still furious.
This leader, a group of fierce men jumped up and cursed.
"Tie those guys up and sink them into the Jinsha River."
"Military Advisor, let me cut him in half with an axe."
"Wow, it's so damn good? Do we really think we dare not take action?"
Everyone had a blushing face and thick neck, and their faces were even more abominable. Yu Sheng looked for a big axe everywhere, and Feng Tai was also touching and screaming.
Below are the discussions, murderous intent!
What can’t be done if the army fights with bulls?
Wu Yong and Xiao Jiasui looked at the crowd and nodded in satisfaction. The two looked at each other, and Xiao Jiasui smiled and waved to everyone.
"Brothers, don't be impatient, brother sends the order back."
The word Chao Gai is very powerful, and the originally noisy crowd immediately became quiet.
"Brother said, the Yunzhou government will recruit ships. If we wait for the navy to withdraw defenses, it will not be our business whether we can defend it."
Xiao Jiasui's previous sentence made Yu, Feng Tai and others dissatisfied and wanted to protest, while the latter sentence made them stop and knew that there was going to be a big move.
"Since this operation is absolutely confidential to Yunzhou, the elderly in Chao's family cannot lead the team to take action. It depends entirely on the brothers who came from Jinghu Road."
Until this time, Du Jie, Shi Sheng, Yuan Lang and other heroes who came from Jinghu Road suddenly realized that they were disguised as they arrived in Jeju and were not allowed to show up in public.
It turns out that I'm waiting for this moment!
It was even more amazing to learn that this decision was left by Chao Gai before leaving.
Chaojiazhuang is not a soft persimmon. Yunzhou is so ruthless, so just be cruel!
Just as Chao Gai said, you are unkind and I am unrighteous. I will let you blossom from all sides. Not only will you eliminate disasters in one place, but you will plunder money to help the poor people.
In short, there is only one purpose, and all the heroes of Liangshan are here.
When everyone fully understood the operation, they were all excited. At the same time, they felt in their hearts that Chao Gai thought so long in the distance.
This move will directly kill the other party.
Everyone was eager to fight, and the roar was like thunder, and the two military advisors joined forces to suppress it.
Next, Xiao Jiasui issued an order to form a team. Du Jie, Wei He, Yuan Lang, Ma Fang, Liu Yijing, and Shangguan Yi became the team leaders.
As a local, Wu Yong was also interested in inquiring about the situation in various prefectures and counties. He dispatched people to various places to wait for orders. He also sent an ambush team according to the actual situation. Zhu Fu and Bai Sheng were also mobilized to cover and help.
In addition, we have responded to the emergencies and dispersed in the middle of the night.
The next day, Du Ji, Wei He, Feng Tai and others went to the military camp for training early in the morning. They were busy selecting veterans and new recruits for the team. Restaurants in various places also received orders and entered the first-level combat readiness state.
Chao Qiang, Su Ding, and Xiao Jiasui secretly selected strong men to join the team for training.
The officials from Yunzhou found Wu Yong again and urged the ship to hand over the ship. The leader was tall and thin, with a sharp-mouthed and pointed face. His surname was Li, and he was the manager of the prefect of Yunzhou. He had a low status and a strong temper.
"Hmph, Professor Wu, what else can I say about the imperial enlistment order? King Chao is famous and generous and righteous. He doesn't have to wait for him to come back to make a decision. Establishing Guandu is a blessing. I think the king will agree."
Li Gan was righteous and arrogant in his speech, with his narrow eyes full of cunning. The implication was that he would find excuses to refuse and the hat of rebellion would be taken down. Without room for negotiation, what was the Jeju Chao Gai?
This guy didn't make a loud noise but it was quite loud, and it spread from afar.
When Feng Tai heard the news, he wanted to kill the birds with his sword. Fortunately, a group of strong men were tying their legs and strangled their necks so they did not rush out of the military camp.
Li Ganban didn't know that his situation was subtle, so he was still holding a chicken feather as an arrow. He made a fuss to plead for his own selfish desires and forced the Chao Mansion ship to be recruited.
Why is this person so arrogant? It is because his benefactor has a backer. Yunzhou is a big province with a large population and a strong oil and water. The governor Zhao Xianggong was able to serve as a fat man, and he was related to Bianliang City. He was a disciple of Cai Jing.
The big tree behind him is naturally arrogant, and the waters of Liangshan were originally under the jurisdiction of Jeju. However, they are also adjacent to Yunzhou, and they can only be reaped oil and water. They did not even call him, but directly crossed the officialdom and established Guandu by the Sixianggong of Jeju.
Wu Yong had already found out that he was entangled by this Li Gan Office. In the afternoon, officials from Jeju and Yuncheng arrived. Under the escort of Su Ding, he led the Yunzhou government team to travel along the stream for more than ten miles to the pier by the Jinsha River.
This is a sheltered harbor with good location and deep water. A few months ago, in order to resist the Liangshan bandits, it passed through Yuncheng and approved by the Jeju government. The Chao Mansion invested a lot of manpower and material resources to build a wharf!
