At the beginning of the night,
Qu Rong, an envoy from Annan Prefecture, was also carefully examining the details of the city and the appearance of the characters under the control of the rebels along the way.
The Annan Prefecture and the Commander of the Commander of the Navy, governing Jiaozhou and other twelve states (now northern Vietnam), but in fact since Gao Pian left his post, the corresponding Commander and Commander of the Commander has been in a vacant position; therefore Only now has the internal power structure been sorted out clearly, and in the name of Shi Ning Si Chong, the right chief of the Department of Protectorate of the highest rank, in the name of the deputy director of the Power Department, he sent people to negotiate the terms of the nominal subordination.
As a messenger, Qu Rong came from a large family of local natives. It was only recently that he was confiscated as a member of the Annan Prefecture to join the army because of family elections and donations. Necessary, assault and support to become the so-called "(Duhu, Jiedu) Confucius and Eye Officials of the Two Houses"; this forced loss of money in disguised form is undoubtedly quite a matter for a scholar like him to the imperial court. A humiliating thing; but for him and the family behind him, it is the most important thing to do if it is handled carelessly.
After all, don't look at these grass thieves rightfully gaining power, but once the court counterattack is counted back after the fall, he and the family behind him will be the Duhufu and Jieya. Afterwards, they will be the first scapegoat to quell the argument and accountability. But his family is even more unable to resist the imminent pressure and crisis.
Although the Tang Dynasty court volunteers and the Nanzhao who have fought for many years have reached a peace agreement for several years, the tragic experience of the barbarians in the southwest earlier is still inscribed in the hearts of the local civilians with the slaughtered swordsmen. Dare not forget each other
Therefore, after being cut off the supply from Lingdong and the rotation of soldiers from all over Lingwai this time, the huge military and civilians of the 12 prefectures of Annan Prefecture have become inadequate in a sense of aggressiveness and self-protection. The rootless wood. However, they have to compromise and transfer money to these grass thieves who steal the Cantonese land in exchange for the basic conditions required for trade and trade, and even seek the corresponding possibility of the borrowed land to flow in and out of the corresponding material channels.
Therefore, he also brought a heavy gift, depending on the fact that some of these grass thieves did not know the goods.
It's just that he heard that the Guangzhou area is experiencing a pandemic before, so he still has an incidental task, which is to conduct a private observation and assessment of the situation and situation of the other party that these grass thieves have;
On the way he came, he had seen many post and wild shops that had resumed operations and were able to provide basic food and lodging to passers-by, and he also discovered a large area of newly opened acres on the roadside; it was the grass thieves who were organizing the refugees. In Tuntian, they even do something different. This couldn't help but make him feel awe-inspiring and vigilant. This is not something that ordinary gangsters would do, but it was vaguely claimed to be based on the weather and pattern of one party.
Then, according to the rumors, the epidemic situation was serious, and the city of Guangzhou, where people rushed out of the city to escape, was not as lifeless as he had imagined, or the scene where the corpses was; it was actually a little orderly even with sparsely populated people. the taste of. The main streets are relatively tidy and clean, and many shops and streets are still in operation, as if they have not been affected by the epidemic.
And since he entered the city, he has seen at least three waves of people who are responsible for cleaning the streets and cleaning and transporting filth. Although most of them are the old and the weak, it also means the basic order and stability of the daily order under the rule of the rebels.
This is important news. If the grass thief's power is not severely weakened as a result, it also means that Jiaozhou will have to pay a greater price and conditions. But for him and his family, it also represents more buffer opportunities and capital to seek power in the Annan Prefecture. So at this moment, between his loyalty to Datang and the fluke psychology that tends to become a grass thief, his mood is both contradictory and complicated.
Not surprisingly, he got a well-known name or alias that is closely related to all of this—"Virtual Monk". This is one of the new and well-known grass thieves who have gained fame as the Fugitives in the Annan Prefecture. He is known for his brutal means of treating the wealthy and powerful, and his ruthlessness in cutting weeds and roots. Si's ability, this involuntarily made him more worried and anxious.
A "virtual" flag held high in the air, together with the strangely shaped carriage surrounded by a group of armored soldiers, just came out from the front street and passed their line; it also made Qu Rong's heart not help. Is it such a coincidence
Sitting on this modified four-wheeled carriage, Zhou Huaian was also on the road to the banquet.
The so-called banquet eating too much is also the same thing. At most, it is to find a scene of singing and dancing to promote the best. In the end, it is inevitable to change from the enthusiasm of the wine to the sitting and hugging, and then each have fun on the spot. Great health style to go. Even if these elders from the rebel army changed their tricks, they were not much fresher than the senses accumulated by his later generations;
Only in terms of the freshness and original ecology of the ingredients, there are still some natural advantages compared to later generations; for example, the new crystal meal, bamboo shoots chicken and mountain mushroom zygote, which I tasted last time, make the energy tank in my vision a little bit more Added a line. In most cases, the people invited to the banquet basically have their own needs, and take advantage of this relatively relaxed private occasion to do it;
Some hope to participate in the auction held by Zhou Huai'an, or take a share of the reopened sea trade, or the realization of some resources and properties on the site. Others are privately seeking help from him: for example, in trade, farming and housekeeping duties, money and food collection, engineering construction, etc., which are generally not good at most, get his help or ask for his own opinions and ideas; Or it is to obtain the manpower and teaching materials sent by his position, and even some new things that are created and promoted under his name.
For example, after ordinary alcohol is distilled and extracted through a special set of equipment, medical spirits are obtained; for example, soil soaps with fragrant medicines, ointments with special effects for curing skin diseases, etc., are all exposed to the water and soil. Torture, or a disease of an irregular body, is also a popular thing among the rebels.
As a peasant general in this era, he is limited by the various limitations of the knowledge, experience, and vision brought about by the era itself, and may have weak beliefs, short-sightedness, ambitions, peace of mind, small wealth is peace, and luck, etc. All kinds of faults and defects; but as the survivors who were killed from the sea of blood and survived on the road paved by countless bones, they still have their own vigilance and precautions, as well as the limited cognition that they insist on.
Therefore, regardless of the differences in status and status, as well as the differences between closeness and estrangement, I took the initiative to put forward some suggestions and opinions that I thought were good, and I hoped that the other party would worship or be impressed. Journeys only available in YY novels; even if it is an initiative to propose to the other party, it is actually not the best choice, but it will cause unnecessary vigilance and casual suspicion;
On the contrary, it is to find or create some opportunities in daily life, so that the other party will naturally need and use the place that he needs and help, and then passively come up with some reasonable suggestions to come naturally, and it is easier to impress the other party.
Even if you want to play the magic tricks that the prophets have predicted, you need the corresponding identity and status as a foil. Otherwise, it is more likely to be slashed and overturned by people from anger or anger, or to slap a black hand under a high degree of suspicion and jealousy. Killed the matter; at least Zhou Huai'an doesn't have all of this yet.
Nowadays, as one of the dozens of heads of the rebel army, even the most bottom-ranked army head is also a head of the army; not to mention the grain judge, who is involved in logistics and governance. Side's comprehensive title bonus. Although it is not a problem to be able to grasp others, it is not a problem to give some icing on the cake suggestions on the existing basis.
The other party hosting the banquet also parked a lot of carts and horses, which seemed to be larger than he expected. As the present-day inviter, Lin Yan stood in front of the archway outside the door to greet him with a complicated expression. The first sentence when he saw Zhou Huaian was:
"At today's banquet, General Manager Shang is also here..." (End of this chapter)
