"In the capital city, a princely residence.
With the four techniques of crown covering shade, Zhu Lun actually grows qu. "
"Xi Xixi the bird in the cage, he lifts the cock and touches the corners.
Falling into the poor lane, holding a shadow and guarding the empty house. "
"The world is in a high position, handsome and sinking.
The terrain makes it so, and the origin is different. "
"Eight Poems in History" by Zuo Si, a writer of Jin Dynasty
—I am the dividing line —
Gao Yue, the governor of Chuzhou who was beaten again in an isolated city, was also standing on the street side of the Yangzhou Waiguo Yaoshi Bridge, silently watching the scene passing by Sassafras. The culprit responsible for his current situation is Sun Ru, a general under the command of Caizhou thief Qin Zongquan.
Fortunately, the heavy snow after the winter made it difficult for the ragged thieves under the command of General Cai Zhou to move, and he suspended his attack on Huai. The completely frozen Caohe went south to Yangzhou to call for troops and help.
But smelling the powdery smell in Yangzhou City that even Xiao Shadong couldn't hide, he looked at the colorful skirts on the tall buildings on the street. Gao Yue couldn't help but feel a sense of dislocation that he didn't know where he was; it was like the experience of Dangyang, the city of Chuzhou prefecture in bloody battles, decayed and miserable, is a dream that can be pierced at any time.
However, the continuous war in Huainan and even the whole world has unavoidably brought other subtle changes to this southeast resort that has remained unchanged for thousands of years. Is a refugee,
"Gao Lang has to be cautious when he asks for the soldiers this time. Recently, Lu (using it) has acted a lot of publicity in the festival hosted by Neishi."
Following the hoarse and utterly female voice, a bright, fleshy arm slowly embraced Gao Yue's voice from behind:
"Half a month ago, on the grounds of preparing for the thief, Moxie came forward to seal up and take over the didian, storehouse, and quality shops under the names of the princes and princes of Beijing, and only Chengde, Wei Bo, and Lu Long. The background of the towns has only been avoided..."
"Later, the governor Shi, Sima, Biejia, Zhucao, and judges were replaced by dozens of important positions. Now it is not allowed that the ambassador outside the office will also act and rebound. Ruo Ruo If you are not careful, you may be involved in the struggle between the two sides."
Gao Yue, who did not speak, sighed again. Ever since the uncle Gao Jun, who is admired by the world, while indulging in cultivating qi, he refused the imperial court’s call and orders again, and was announced again. After the strike, the camp is unified and afterwards; many things are different.
Although Huainan Jieya is still in fact controlling the situation in Huainan, the divergent thoughts of the various guards under his command have become more apparent. Gao Yue also had to temporarily put aside his position as a child of the Gao family, and considered more of the authority in his hands.
At this time, at the other end of Yangzhou City, which was as large as a chessboard, soon after the door opened, there was another movement.
"The boat is coming, the boat is coming..."
"Jingzhou Ship is Coming"
Then, just like the originally quiet streets and alleys of the city, many figures rushing in in groups suddenly emerged, and they became active; even those refugees who were sitting in the open air on the side of the street were also stunned. Drive it away.
Gao Yue couldn't help but sighed again. Now the people who are able to respond like a wave in Yangzhou City are these Jingzhou and Guangfu businessmen who obviously have a background of peaceful thief;
Although everyone in Yangzhou City knows the relationship from top to bottom, no matter whether it is the Huainan Shogunate or the Jieya camp, or the defense, group training, or military ambassador, everyone pretends that they don’t know each other. The look of love.
Because their arrival also represents the supply of all kinds of supplies, precious treasures, luxury consumer goods and so on newly added to this metropolis, so that Yangzhou City can maintain the fresh blood of the prosperity and decent of the past.
Among them, there are powdered incense powder, pearls, skirts and pearls, which are used to keep women’s colors, and silk, silk, porcelain, tea and paper used for civil birthdays; there are even lyre, melon, mango, orange, peach, Fresh and pickled fruits such as durian, longan, and olive.
In fact, the large and small courtyards and flower shops in Yangzhou today are not a source of fresh goods; but if there is no fruit that can be brought out to serve guests, then they are inaccessible and unavailable.
"Then how often do these merchant ships come here today..."
Thinking of this, Gao Yue hesitated and asked:
"For the Jingzhou ship, it will probably take more than half a month to come back; if it is a sea ship from Guangfu, it will come back and forth within a ten-year period."
The woman hugging him behind also responded:
"So diligent..."
Gao Yue couldn't help but be a little surprised and said, this is a winter day when trade winds and tides are not in time.
"I'm afraid there are still people who think it's slow to come, it's too late... It's just that these businesses are managed and controlled by their own people; the sea ships coming from the south are mainly handled by Lunets as the capital, while the river ships coming from the west are Ambassador Liang’s business belongs to Fenrun..."
The woman was disapproving, and then she said earnestly.
"It's fine if Gao Lang only handles distribution, but if he wants to contact directly, I'm afraid it will not be able to get around the relationship between the two sides..."
At this time, as the sun rises, the displaced people who have been driven up have gathered at the gate and staggered in a few rows, just to receive a bowl of clear food for everyone under the temporary porridge shed Jian Ren's thin porridge only. Of course, this is not due to unreasonable kindness.
Because selling these refugees is also a big business for the officials and generals in the city. Among them, according to the gender, plus children can be sold at different prices. Among them, women are even more expensive than men, and children under ten, regardless of age, are an added bonus, which is roughly worth two bags of dried grains.
But at least most of these displaced people will survive this harsh winter. Gao Yue thought about it so much, feeling a little awkward in his heart.
What are the problems in this country, this court, and this local government that will allow these anti-thieves to bear these. Gao Yue was speechless for a while, but only felt that the broken stubble area where his fingers were cut due to necrosis was faintly painful again.
And in another restaurant in Yangzhou City that provides breakfast and tea soup, a plump young man in jinyi said categorically to many friends:
"I have made up my mind. This time the ship is about to set off for Jingzhou..."
Others couldn't help being shocked or persuaded in disapproval.
"Zhou Shuo, are you crazy? That's a thief state. It's best to humiliate the peaceful thief who is cruel to the gentry and treats the scholars slowly... Except for the profit-only merchants, who wants to suffer anywhere..."
"Er Lang, why are you going to the dangerous place in Jingzhou? It's not good here in Yangzhou... You know that other places are messy and restless..."
The fat young man named Zhou Shuo was a little excited and said:
"Then what can you do if you stay here, is it just watching everyone get drunk and dreamy together, and then one day the heads of the hungry and cold-stricken refugees will break their heads and take their lives? Killed and looted?"
Then someone sighed and shook his head
"But that's not the case. It's hard to say elsewhere, but here is the Nantian Yizhu, the minister of the country, who has been indifferent to chaos for many years... Maybe it will be patriot chaos if he persists for another ten or eight years. Is it time?"
"Then have you ever seen this outside of the city or outside of Yangzhou with your own eyes?"
The young Zhou Shuo also said helplessly:
"The world says that the wealth of the world is half in the southeast, Huaiyang is all in the southeast, and Huaiyang is not rich in Yangzhou; but what is Yangzhou in the southeast of the rich and wealthy now? Still singing and dancing, Shengping flute every night."
"Yaxia is known as the 70,000 victors, and the cost for the military and maintenance is not reduced by half, but the rewards are rising steadily. All these things are more than tens of thousands. Now the place is exhausted and chaotic, and it is not enough to prepare for the chaos. , Don’t we have to fall on us city sergeants in the end?"
"Even if it's a clue that it's temporarily missing, it's just a fish swimming in the bottom of the cauldron. It's just a momentary stubbornness. My mother has already agreed, so this time it is said to bid farewell to the monarchs..."
Of course, there is something he hasn't said, that is, his family has already sent people to Yuezhou and Ezhou to fight the front station; he confirmed that since the Taiping thief did not have an example of unprovoked actions against the merchants, he gradually made up his mind. .
Therefore, when he is here to say goodbye to his old friends, the few relatives in his family have already gone to the pier with the servants to prepare to board the ship. And near the Jiangkou Wharf outside the city:
"Is there any hope in the local area? The shogunate is full of people who are lucky enough to enter and bribe to make it into the ranks. In the local area, it is the generation of samurai who arbitrarily rampage in the township, and the government can't control it."
A young scholar from Helan, a talented young scholar from Yangzhou, bitterly said to his companion who had come to see off/retained him:
"There has already been said to open up peace forever. Before this, who else can make such a shocking theory in this dirty and muddy world... Isn't it a sentence that has exhausted the world's ambitions? The voice and ambition of the scholar..."
"Does anyone even dare to say that they are thieves of the other generation? Isn't this the theory of sages and sages from the great avenue, following the principles of the three generations of the world and the aspirations of the people? If you hesitate to look forward to it, it will really be too late..."
—I am the dividing line —
And in Anling City, Texas.
"This is the way the imperial court figured it out... It's a pity that it's worth my leg..."
Chengde Jiedushi Wang Jingchong, who could only lean on the long collapse, sneered at his son Wang Rong who had turned around and hurried back.
"Dare to ask your lord, has this matter been determined by the court..."
Wang Rong still asked with some anxiety and nervousness.
"Of course it was for the imperial court. Just tell the soldiers and soldiers..."
However, Wang Jingchong squeezed his arm hard, looked at his eyes and said solemnly word by word.
"My child knows... This will make every effort to clear the loyalty and spies who cooperated with the court assassin, so that the adults will have peace of mind..."
Wang Rong couldn't help but feel stunned, and he swiftly agreed.
