Zhang Rong passed by the group of people, but actually slowed down and pricked up his ears.
But I heard the young man say casually: "Those Jinan people... can't do it."
Huh? What are you talking about? Why do you look down on Jinan people?
Zhang Rong raised his ears higher.
"We all know very well how the Mongols treated the captured slaves. The cruelty of their treatment and the ferocity of the killing were probably similar to what the Jurchens did when they took over the Central Plains. Those Jinan people fell into the hands of the Mongols.
Although it is only for a month, I am afraid that my body is too weak to endure the heavy labor. In addition, another consequence of the Mongols' wanton massacre is that diseases are rampant in the local area."
A majestic-looking military attache next to him said: "Then I'll take charge of it first. According to the old rules, set up the camp first, spread it out, and provide enough supplies for a few days. After a while, let the medical officer make the rounds.
Now that you are in good health, we will make other arrangements."
"Well...Brother Anmin, there is no need to be frugal about the food and drink for the people. It doesn't hurt to give more. We are all from poor backgrounds. We don't make high-profile remarks. We think more carefully and treat the people down-to-earth. That's better than anything else.
"
"Okay. Don't worry about that. What we extorted from the Mongols is originally the wealth of Shandong's people, and it should be used back to the people."
"In addition, the camps are not only placed in Haicang Town. Ye County, Xiyou Town, and even Jiaoshui County, Zhaoyuan County and other places must be planned. When conditions are mature, people from various places will be resettled together, and these camps will be converted on-site.
The military fort echoes the original military stronghold. Once the Mongols come, most of Shandong will be frightened. We have settled these exchanged prisoners, and people from all over the country will defect... When the time comes, you will have to be busy.
Already."
The military attache laughed loudly: "It would be better to be busier. Doing these things makes me very happy."
"Liu Cheng and Zhang Xin are assisting Brother Anmin. As mentioned before, every time a battalion is set up, auxiliary soldiers will be selected from them and preliminary military training will be carried out. The two of them will work hard with trivial matters."
The two officers did not dare to talk to each other, but they should be respectful.
The young man turned half around and called, "Qing Jin?"
A tall man with a long beard bowed slightly: "Here."
"The people under your command must also follow up in a timely manner and publicize our rules to the people so that they can gradually get used to our military household and shadow household system."
"We have recruited a group of scholars, and with a little training, they can be sent out to publicize the decree. In the final analysis, we have won the battle beautifully. This fact is more powerful than oral propaganda."
The young man laughed twice and said, "I heard that all those scholars came here in the past few days?"
"yes."
"I will take the time to meet them and comfort and encourage them. But Jin Qing cannot relax his control."
"What does Jie Shuai mean?"
"The reason why Mongolia is strong is that they have retained the simple style of the grassland people, and they have obtained an efficient system under the rule of Genghis Khan. They have strict laws from top to bottom, and they are resolutely implemented. Our naval policy is
The same should be done when fighting against powerful enemies. Therefore, I don’t need scholars who can only talk, and I don’t allow anyone to borrow scriptures and distort our government orders. Jin Qing should keep a close eye on the scholars, and they can use them if they can, and even surpass them.
, are of great use. But those that cannot be used, just throw them into the fields, show no mercy."
"As commanded."
The young man continued to go to the top of the gravel slope, took two steps, and remembered the topic at the beginning.
"However, the surrounding battlefields really need to be cleaned up quickly. The sea breeze is already biting now, and when the ground freezes, it will be impossible to do the work. Even for the Mongols, it is not suitable to expose their corpses in the wild for a long time. Think about it
How can we dig out some people?"
The long-bearded man pondered for a moment.
"There is a way out."
"Hahaha, nothing can trouble Qing Jin, please tell me quickly."
"Ding Haijun Jiedu envoys to control the defense, assassination, and general affairs of the town's troops and horses, and has the authority to dispatch the troops of Dengzhou and Ninghai prefectures. Previously, the military affairs were urgent, and we had not communicated with the local officials of the two states.
At this time, we can write a letter to the two states and ask them to send troops to assist...on the one hand, we can fill our manpower vacancies, and on the other hand, we can also let the two states see the majesty of our navy."
"Okay! That's it!"
The tall young man struck each other with his fists and palms, making a snapping sound.
When Zhang Rong heard this, he didn't know that this young man was Guo Ning, the military commander of the Ding Navy?
He was worried that getting too close and hearing too much would arouse the suspicion of the followers around Guo Ning, so he stepped back slightly and hurried towards their direction.
In just this moment, he had heard a lot of ideas on how to govern the navy, and indeed there was a set of rules. Zhang Rong felt that he had to find a place to make careful calculations and analysis. After going downhill, he might as well go back to the dock to see if he could
Do you want to meet up with Li Shibi, Li Chang and his son, and also listen to what they saw after they arrived in Laizhou?
After all, Guo Ning is a high-ranking military and political official. No matter how lazy he is to put on airs, he is surrounded by a large number of guards and followers. The civil and military officials who follow Guo Ning are also accompanied by their own subordinates.
Zhang Rong passed by Li Xu, and many guards and subordinate officials passed by him in twos and threes. Seeing that Zhang Rong looked at ease and looked calmly at the road ahead, they just thought he was a civilian returning to the camp for something, so they did not
Ask more.
However, among the last few guards, a tall and strong man walked up to Zhang Rong and suddenly stopped.
"Um?"
Zhang Rong was shocked, wondering where there was any omission. He turned his head slightly and looked at the face of the tall guard, and he just screamed in pain.
This tall guard really recognized Zhang Rong.
Zhang Rong also recognized him. His name was Dong Jin, and he was a famous hunter east of Changbai Mountain and along the Xiaoqing River. The two families were close neighbors. When Zhang Rong was selling private salt, he sometimes needed extra manpower to cover him, and he often recruited hunters with money and silk.
They helped. Although Dong Jin was young, he was very skilled. He had cooperated with Zhang Rong several times in the past two years.
When did Dong Jin join the Ding Navy? And did he get involved in Guo Ning's escort team?
This action is really fast... We are obviously good neighbors and good partners, but you don't even say hello to me!
At that moment, Zhang Rong forced out a smile and offered his hands to Dong Jin.
He was a guest who came to Haicang Town with Monk Luo with the idea of defecting. He knew that he had no ill intentions and there was no need to hide his identity. However, a powerful man who commanded thousands of soldiers and civilians went to Haicang Town in disguise to inquire, and he still
It would be too embarrassing to be recognized by the guards around Guo Ning.
Dong Jin's face was full of astonishment, and his expression changed twice. There was a guard next to him who patted his shoulder and spoke, but he didn't respond at all.
This little baby is so young! In this way, even if he doesn't say anything, it will arouse people's suspicion!
Zhang Rong smiled bitterly. He was hesitating whether to reveal his identity and went back to see Guo Ning. He heard an old voice on the top of the slope shouting again and again: "Did you see it? It's the one with the scar on his face."
!He is a spy!”
Zhang Rong raised his head and found that the one shouting was actually the old man Hu Donkey who was carrying the basket together.
And his grandson, Xu Zhuer, who was actually a neighbor's child, was also jumping up and down next to him.
At this moment, Zhang Rong felt that the arrow wound on his face was particularly painful.
Why is this necessary? After all, everyone has had a good relationship!
You common people, are all of you so attentive? Do you really regard Ding Haijun as your own?
Zhang Rong looked around and saw a group of soldiers wearing light armor and moving very quickly on the high slope running down. Several people around him looked at him, just like the people who patrolled the salt department of the imperial court and stared at private salt dealers.
.
He quickly raised his hands: "Slow down! Slow down! This is a misunderstanding!"
"Boss Zhang, I'm sorry for you!"
Zhang Rong was still shouting, Dong Jin grumbled, came up and put Zhang Rong down.
Then several people swarmed up and tied Zhang Rong tightly.
"Okay, okay, caught! Haha, I caught two today!"
Zhang Rongzhen was a little panicked and shouted repeatedly: "I am Zhang Rong of Jinan, your General Luo, no, the guest invited by Master Huifeng! You have arrested the wrong person!"
There was a commotion all around, and most of the light-armored soldiers were in high spirits. How could anyone listen to what he said?
"Where's the other one? Bring it too!"
"Jie Shuai happens to be here, please take a look at the spy we caught!"
"We caught two in one day!"
Amidst the shouting, the team behind gave way. Someone brought a wooden pole over, and four horses were tied upside down on the wooden pole. Zhang Rong looked at it carefully and felt that it was ridiculous: "Isn't this the strictness of Dongping Prefecture in prosecuting thieves?
?”
This person is Yan Shi, a member of the Baihu family in Dongping Mansion, and is also an acquaintance of Zhang Rong.
When he was young, Yan Shi signed an army and went to the border to fight. After returning to his hometown, because of his bold ambition, he did not care about production, and he liked to make friends and give to others, so that he often lived in poverty. Because of his heroic character, he repeatedly violated national laws and was jailed.
He was arrested and imprisoned, and it was all thanks to the local knights to work hard to escape the crime.
Of course, such a person has a close friendship with Zhang Rong, a private salt dealer, so the two of them knew each other.
After the Mongolian army entered Shandong, Zhang Rong led his men to guard Hongtan Ridge, while Yan Shi responded to the recruitment of Huang Laowudian, the governor of the Tianping Army in Dongping Prefecture, and guarded Dong'a, Pingyin, Changqing, etc. as a hundred households.
The land became an outpost against the Mongolian army in the direction of Dongping Prefecture.
Who would have thought that Yan Shi would also arrive in Laizhou and end up in such an embarrassing situation?
Both of them were tied up, and they were pushed one after another up the high slope.
Yan Shi's skills were very good. When he was arrested, he probably resisted the arrest. As a result, he suffered a lot. Now his eyes were bruised and swollen, and his mouth was crooked. His hands and feet were tied up to the sky, and he tilted his head upside down. He could barely see Zhang.
Rong, said repeatedly: "Boss Zhang, why are you here?"
"..." Zhang Rong didn't know how to answer for a while.
Yan Shi said hastily: "I have a lifelong friend, Li Shibi from Xucheng, Dongping. They were plundered by the Mongolian army and used to attack Pingyin County, but the Mongols suddenly withdrew their troops and transferred them to Laizhou. I am afraid that some of them are
What a waste... Boss Zhang, if you can escape, you must help me find someone, and you must help me take care of him! I will definitely remember this kindness!"
This guy lives up to his reputation. He really values friendship and loyalty. At this time, he still wants to take care of his friends. But...
Li Shibi?
Zhang Rong felt that it was both ridiculous and ridiculous: "Does your family friend Li Shibi have a child named Li Chang? Both father and son are scholars and full of knowledge?"
"Boss Zhang, do you also recognize his father and son?"
Zhang Rong ignored him and turned to the soldiers beside him and said repeatedly: "I am really Master Huifeng's guest, I just got off the ship! Military men, you have arrested the wrong person, both of them!"
Really, really! Let me go quickly, otherwise I won’t look good in front of Commander-in-Chief."
