"what are you?"
"I'm not... ahem, I am a subordinate of Guo Ning, the Xuanfu envoy of Shandong. Thanks to my family's envoy, he gave me the status of a sixth-grade Fengzhi doctor. Today I take office as the divisional envoy of Binzhou, Shandong Yansi."
Zhang Rong took out a blank name edict with his own name newly filled in and showed it to Zhang Yanjian: "From today on, I have the final say in Binzhou Salt Administration. I came here to invite Judge Zhang to attend the meeting. After all, from now on, There are still times when I can rely on the judge..."
"Nonsense! The Salt Department is a subordinate of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and its appointment comes from the transfer envoy department of the capital. Then Guo, how can Guo Xuan envoy not be in charge of Shandong's salt administration! What's more, we, Dajin, have our own laws, and non-jinshi are not allowed to serve as salt envoys or judges! Who are you? Have you read the book? A savage who doesn’t know where he came from dares to come to Binzhou to cause mischief!"
Judge Zhang cursed angrily, then stood outside the door and shouted: "Come here, come here!"
When several servants came running towards him, the judge pointed at Zhang Rong and said, "Kick this lunatic out!"
Zhang Rong was stunned for a moment. He really never thought that he could not suppress the Salt Division judge by first telling the fate of the Salt Division's gang members and then revealing Guo Ning's name. It seems that after decades of serving as a salt officer, this man has become so arrogant that he does not know how much he weighs.
In this case, you are committing suicide!
Zhang Rong turned around and left.
A moment after he strode to the courtyard gate, there was a sudden noise outside the courtyard, with screams and roars coming and going, and the sound of swords clashing.
When he stood at the gate of the courtyard, a group of soldiers suddenly rushed in. Everyone was covered in blood, as if they had killed many people. The big man leading them was Liu Bin, who had been saved by Zhang Rong when the Mongols came.
"Brother Zhang, what do you say?"
"You've already taken action, and why are you asking me?" Zhang Rong sighed: "Brothers, are you okay?"
Liu Bin curled his lips, showed a contemptuous smile, and said: "A bunch of trash, are they worthy of hurting our brothers? We came here several times, not one of us was killed, and five or six were injured. It's not a big deal. We have already arranged to go and rest." !”
Having said this, he asked: "What did the judge say?"
Before Zhang Rong could answer, Liu Bin pointed to the gold and jade decorations in the courtyard: "Looking at the appearance of the courtyard, you can tell that this judge is not a good person. I don't know how much people's wealth he has amassed... It's better to kill him."
Zhang Rong himself was a private salt dealer, and he was much more knowledgeable about this than Liu Bin. Daikin's salt policy looks like this, and every salt official is just a caretaker. How can there be any good things?
At that moment, he went out on his own: "Then let's kill him. I'll go to the official office of the Binzhou Division first. I'll come over soon after I've finished my work."
Liu Bin nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, we'll do it quickly!"
Zhang Rong went out slowly and saw corpses piled up in several courtyards along the way. Most of the evil slaves who had been watching the door eagerly were lying on the ground.
He walked out of the courtyard and walked through the alley. The sound of groups of people running around, shouting, and the sound of weapons clashing could already be heard one after another.
Several knights looked around and rode past him, completely ignoring Zhang Rong who was walking alone.
Zhang Rong recognized that they were Xu Jin's trusted subordinates, and quickly waved his hand to stop them: "Where is Xu Canjun?"
The knight said happily: "It turns out that Zhang Yanshi is here and is looking for you. My family joined the army and was a guest at General Yin's house. He asked me to tell the salt envoy that everything went well and no one was killed. You can take care of the salt department and don't come in a hurry. General’s Mansion.”
"Okay, just don't kill anyone."
Zhang Rong waved his hand and let the knights go.
Do not use force against Yin Chang's subordinates unless absolutely necessary. This is what Guo Ning has repeatedly ordered. But for others, there is no need to worry so much. The meaning of Xu Jin's words was that he had already controlled Yin Chang's family members and relatives, so it was time to go big.
He stood in the middle of the road and looked around. There was a wall separating the road. He couldn't see very far. However, the various sounds still penetrated the cold and penetrated directly into his eardrums. Even if they were not the characters who had been targeted by the Ding Haijun for a long time. Even if the person's head falls to the ground, he has to shed some blood and hand over some benefits!
When he was selling smuggled salt, he had been to Binzhou many times. Because he did not have the identity, he had to carefully serve the big salt lords every time, and his face was not as good as that of the local Zaohu leader. At that time, I thought that I would be hanging out like this for the rest of my life, but I never thought that when I set foot again this time, the world would be turned upside down.
And how did I, a private salt dealer, become the leader of the Binzhou Salt Division?
Thinking of this, Zhang Rong couldn't help but sigh at the strange changes in life.
Yin Chang, who was in Jinan, still didn't know what happened in Binzhou until the third day after it happened.
In the past few days, he couldn't care about Binzhou. He was busy seizing the last two days of the ten-day deadline and trying his best to recruit people.
Because Binzhou's disciples and soldiers are all present, he has tripled the area of the refugee camp. He has also set up military stations in the west of Pingyin County, Guide Town, Changqing County, and Fengji Town, and transferred people to eat horses and chews. supplies to meet the increasing number of defectors.
In this process, Shi Yan played a great role by running forward and backward. Two days ago, they also led people to restore a section of the city wall in the south of Jinan City, and then cleared an open space behind the city wall, saying that it could be used by Yin Chang to garrison.
Yin Chang only stayed in Jinan for ten days. In fact, there was no need for this, but there was no doubt about Shi Yan's talent. Therefore, Yin Chang gave him more and more authority. In the past few days, he, Guo Zheng, Xu Wende and others were responsible for almost all the detailed affairs of the refugee camp.
On the tenth day, Shi Yan asked to see Yin Chang and handed over a temporarily compiled book to Yin Chang.
Before Yin Chang looked through it, he asked: "What is this?"
"In the past few days, in addition to the men, there are also some soldiers under Zhan Hui who have come directly to surrender. It seems that the fight between him and Fang Guosan is unfavorable. I have separated the men and the armor staff and made special statistics."
Shi Yan said blankly: "General, look, we now have 1,100 intact swords, guns and other weapons, 45 bows, 3,000 arrows, in addition, there are also intact armors. Twenty-five sets of iron armor and eighty sets of leather armor.”
He sighed and added: "There are still some damaged ones, and we need to find someone to repair them. Does the general have blacksmiths and cobblers in Binzhou? I will go to the camp again tonight and try to pick some good ones from the refugees. The craftsmen who do the work come out.”
This is an unexpected surprise!
Yin Chang stood up and held Shi Yan's arm, laughing loudly: "Thanks to General Shi Du's talent! You have been working hard these days. When we return to Binzhou, I will serve you a drink to celebrate!"
Just as he was laughing happily, the soldiers outside came to report: "General, from the Dinghai Navy, has the third batch of food and supplies arrived?"
"oh?"
Yin Chang only asked Guo Ning for two batches of supplies. In terms of scale, of course there was a sufficient margin, but Guo Ning paid everything in full, no less.
At this moment, I didn't even say a word. Guo Ning sent supplies again?
Yin Chang felt a little moved. He quickly walked out and stood at the camp gate to look out. He saw ships with sails and masts forming a line one after another, slowly coming along the Xiaoqing River.
So many ships? How much stone, grain and fodder will be transported? Not to mention anything else, Ding Haijun is really generous when it comes to supplies! What a good friend!
He looked around and said loudly: "Everyone, come with me, we will welcome you!"
Everyone got on their horses and rushed to the dock.
In this section of the Xiaoqing River, it is connected to the Luoshui River from various springs in Jinan to the west, the Yushui River to the south, and the Yellow River water from the Beiqing River to the north. It forms a wetland several miles south of Jinan City. There is a place called Huangtai in the wetland. Spread throughout the harbor, it has always been the center for transshipment of official salt in Shandong. Therefore, ships are entering the harbor one after another and berthing is very easy.
Many ships stopped one by one, and Yin Chang led his people to greet them.
Many of the subordinates behind him whispered, wondering how much benefit they could get this time, and they didn't know which official under Guo Ning was leading the team. Yin Chang, who was walking at the front, was already stunned.
All because on the largest ship, Guo Ning pulled the side of the ship, jumped off the stage with a neat jump.
He looked at Yin Chang who was in a daze with concern, and said with a smile: "General Yin, are you exhausted these days? I see you have lost your appearance!"
The Huangtai Yancang Wharf in Jinan began in the Jin Dynasty, and there are still relics left.
