At noon, Huang Laowudian led his army to Guide Town, not far from Jinan Fucheng.
Huang Laowudian had walked this road himself, and it was only a little over eighty miles away. It was still early in the morning, and the army would march another ten miles to Changqing County. If they rested for one night in the county, they would be ready tomorrow.
By sending light and fast horses, you can reach Licheng County, where the capital is located, within one day.
However, Huang Slap Wudian was not in a hurry.
Huang Laowudian has been an official since the late Dading Dynasty, and it has been more than 20 years now. He started from guarding ten captains, and served as the defense envoy of Shouzhou and Yunneizhou. He also followed the old prime minister and the famous general Wan Yanxiang in Shaanxi
There were battles on the way to Beijing. Later, Wan Yanxiang died of illness, and Huang Lai Wudi lost the strong support from the court. As a result, he went through a lot of hardships and was able to achieve what he is now, knowing the affairs of Dongping Prefecture, making military governors of the Tianping Army, and having soldiers and horses on the east and west routes of Shandong.
All in charge.
How could such a character be just a money-grubbing fool?
It is true that he is greedy for money, and he is not lacking in knowledge. In terms of military management ability, he has fought with Wan Yanxiang and has been influenced by him for many years, so he is not bad at all.
He has always shown his greed for money, and even made it worse, but it was actually used as a disguise.
In the past few years, the political disputes in the court have become more and more intense. Even if the prime minister or marshal sits down, he will be unlucky if he says he is unlucky, and he will be killed if he says he will be killed. And the powerful factions in the army are all arrogant and domineering, and they support their own troops.
The newly appointed emperor Wanyan Xun was originally stationed in Xiangzhou to oversee the German army. Wanyan Xun's jurisdiction was only separated from Dongping Prefecture by Daming Prefecture. Although one belonged to Hebei and the other to Shandong, the two sides were close neighbors. Therefore, Huang slapped me early.
I have heard that Wan Yanxun appears to be generous on the outside, but on the inside he is strict, and it is best to cite personal matters. Such an emperor will not have sand in his eyes, and there is no telling how many local powerful figures will be cleaned up!
And Huang Slapwudian can conclude that Wanyan Xun's principle in selecting the officials of the border areas is not based on ability or merit at all, but only on loyalty, and only on whether he is diligent to the new emperor and whether he regards the emperor as the emperor!
Therefore, Wanyan Sala, this idiot, doesn't understand at all. He is always ambitious, wants to do something, wants to control the territory and the army. But hasn't this guy ever thought that he is Hu Shahu's remnant!
Hu Shahu's entire family was beheaded. The more ambitious this remnant became, the more disgusted and suspicious the emperor became of him. Sooner or later, he would be finished.
Huang Slap Wudian was much smarter and did not worry about anything. During this period of time, whether Liu Erzu rebelled in Tai'an Prefecture or the Mongolian army invaded, Huang Slap Wudian didn't care.
What does this have to do with it? Didn’t the Mongolian army retreat in the end?
The newly arrived military commander Guo Ning was a ruthless character, and he actually drove the Mongols back. It's a pity that in such a fierce battle, Guo Ning would have lost a lot of his elite troops, and he was gone.
Soldier...then you still suffer a loss!
Huang Slap Wudian wouldn't do that. He just guarded his Dongping Mansion and worked hard to collect food and supplies. He had already planned to use the wealth he had collected during these days when the situation calmed down a little.
Divide it into two, keep half for your own enjoyment, and send the other half to Zhongdu.
The last time the Mongolian army invaded, Zhongdu was caught off guard and was short of major generals. When Tu Shanyi was staying in Beijing, he sent 20,000 people to Zhongdu to serve the king, so he was promoted to the right prime minister. Now Zhongdu is short of major generals.
It’s money, food and materials. I sent this batch of materials, which is like providing help in times of need.
The Mongols will eventually leave. After they leave, their merits and rewards will always be mentioned in court. My contribution will never be ignored.
I don't want a high-ranking official position in the court. I just ask the emperor to issue an edict to kick Wanyan Sala away for me so that I can command the military affairs of Shandong's east and west routes. It shouldn't be difficult, right?
Ha ha ha ha!
Thinking of this, Huang Slap Wudian was no longer anxious.
The city of Jinan has been washed away by the Mongols. How much is left? If you want to collect money, food and materials, you have to start from the wealthy cities around Jinan. The army is stationed in Guide Town at the moment, and will go to Changqing County tomorrow, and will arrive with the city the day after tomorrow.
Fengji Town, a prosperous commercial place with the same name as Guide Town, is peaceful and stable, and you can pass by the camp step by step, and you have to attack along the way, so that your trip is not in vain.
At that moment, he ordered one group of soldiers to stay in the camp and the other group to go to Guide Town for business.
He himself, surrounded by generals and staff, rode his horse to circle outside the town to take a look.
This Guide Town was once the capital of Jibei Kingdom in the Han Dynasty and had always been very prosperous. When the Mongolian army came before, all the people in the town fled. The Mongols set fire to half of the town and immediately withdrew their troops. But Huang Slapwudian knew very well that the people in the town
There must be something good hidden there.
The Mongolians are too vulgar, and such things as looting only require rich experience to do it thoroughly.
For example, Huang Laowudian only looked inside and outside the town. Many people were clearing away the ruins, and he knew that the townspeople must have something in their hands. This is because deep winter is approaching, and there are so many people in a town. If there is no stored food and supplies, there must be something.
They all had to starve to death. The reason why they came back was because they were sure of surviving the winter, and the supplies they used to survive the winter...hey, they were just for my use!
At this moment, Huang Slap Wudian's trusted lieutenant Pu Sansaohe was shouting and cursing in front of a group of gathered people.
He shouted for a while, and seeing that all the people had dull faces and no reaction at all, he ordered a dozen of them to be pulled out with particularly ugly expressions.
More than a dozen people were pulled out. Some began to get scared, and some knelt on the ground and kowtowed to beg for mercy. However, it seemed that no one was willing to hand over materials and property.
Huang slapped Wudian from a distance and sneered: "Do these people want money rather than their lives?"
Among these people, there are some who are bold enough to open their mouths and curse.
Pu Sansaohe suddenly urged his horse forward, and with a wave of his long knife, he chopped off the head that was talking nonsense. After it landed on the ground, it rolled away far away, with blood still spurting from the neck.
Pu Sansaohe was one of the most powerful generals in the Tianping Army, and this sword was really powerful. He himself was also very satisfied with the power of this sword. He held the sword in the air and made a few false strikes before turning back to look at the others who were pale.
people.
Under his ferocious eyes, everyone bowed their heads, and the crowd was obviously shaken.
"Good job!" Huang Slap Wudian turned his horse back with satisfaction and looked elsewhere leisurely.
Pusan Saohe didn't notice that Huang Laowudian was nearby. He reined up his horse in front of the crowd and continued shouting. After shouting twice, he didn't know who had offended him. He rushed his horse straight into the crowd and immediately killed another person.
In the woods more than a mile away from Huang Laowudian's military camp, Yan Shi, with a trembling voice, whispered: "Look, look, these are the officers and soldiers of the Jin Dynasty! Dog thieves! Dog thieves!"
If he hadn't been concerned about the safety of his companions, Yan Shi would have jumped out to fight these so-called officers and soldiers.
Zhang Rong stretched out his arm and pressed Yan Shi's shoulder.
He is also angry, but he can control his emotions far better than Yan Shi.
After all, Zhang Rong was a private salt dealer, and if something happened around him, he would gather his companions to protect themselves with force. And after the Mongolian army invaded, Yan Zhi actually went to Dongping Mansion to find a job to arrest hundreds of households...
Isn't this ridiculous?
Zhang Rong has long felt that Yan Shi always likes to put on a heroic appearance, but in fact he is a bit too kind and takes the court too seriously. He should see more scenes like this! Only after seeing more can he realize that there is nothing wrong with him in this world.
Man-eating beast! Only after seeing it too many times will you realize that the world is in a mess... The only person who can be relied on to become a high official and still look like a human being is Ding Haijun Guo Jieshuai!
There is nothing they can do about the current situation.
Fortunately, the people in Guide Town, Changqing County and even Fengji Town who trusted Yan Shi had already boarded the ship in an orderly manner the day before yesterday and headed for Laizhou along the Beiqing River.
That's not hundreds or thousands of people, but tens of thousands of people. In the past ten days or so, Zhang Rong, Yan Shi, Dong Jin and others were busy, and even Monk Luo's fleet was on the river.
There is an endless stream of people.
Such a large-scale migration of people has caused great momentum in Jinan, Zizhou and other places. Even in the Binzhou and Dizhou areas, there are people who heard the legend of dividing the fields and came to vote with their families. That Huang Slap Wu
If you ask Dian's subordinate officers a few more questions, they will know that there is not much food in Guide Town. Most of the money, food and materials, along with most of the people, are already on the river, and may have entered the sea by now.
Zhang Rong asked in a deep voice: "Do you still want to go?"
Yan Shi was stunned: "What?"
"The Mongolian army is regrouping its cavalry in Texas and will attack at any time. Do you still want to tell them?"
Yan Shi looked at the kneeling people, then at Pu San Sao He, who was holding a knife in his hand and laughing, and at Huang Slap Wudian, who was casually patrolling. Those two were his former superiors, and of course their status was higher than his.
At the tenth level, Yan Shi surrendered to the army that day because he had placed hope on them.
"The Mongolian army will probably come here, and they are expected to arrive tomorrow morning." He said, "Let's leave quickly, it's not safe around here anymore."
