Then, in a house in Nanzheng City that had just changed hands, but was particularly bloody.
"Inner nobleman, the thieves in Chenggu are really related to the Ling thieves? Isn't it a place that bluffs under the guise of the name, or chaos the party by taking advantage of the opportunity?"
Lin Shenhe faced Li Changwei, one of Li Daliao’s stand-in and adopted sons, and an internal officer who had known each other in the past, pretending to be worried, and asked:
"It seems to be inseparable; to tell you the truth, the mansion has already added two soldiers and horses here, and still has not been able to win the city. I am afraid that these thieves will be occupied by the big rebellion..."
Li Changwei also sighed:
"I really don't know how the thieves came here. Whether it is Niu Shuai or Song Shuai when they are in office, they are all guarded against the east side?"
"Not to mention that the right side of Xingshi Road is the snow-covered mountain, in the winter when the people are inaccessible! Could it be that the bird's wings were inserted to fly over?"
"Perhaps you should blame this Shang thief, who has ruined the local situation for life, otherwise, even if the Chenggu County at the Xingshi crossing is lost, no one knows for a while and the matchmaker ran out to report and alert..."
As soon as he opened the chatterbox, it was as if he found a slope filled with sadness and worries. After suddenly complaining about a lot of what was missing, Lin Shenhe said with difficulty and hesitation again and again:
"Then we said good business, isn't it going to be a big deal..."
"Lin Pan is not in a hurry, this is definitely not the case. I heard that the number of thieves is limited after all, and now they are besieged in the city and unable to do anything. As long as the king can cut off his support, he will just sit and wait for death. !"
Hearing that it was about the business of their ministers, Li Changwei quickly relieved:
"As everyone knows, in order to solve the Shang clan's troubles, the Zisanguan Daying and Xichuan Town dispatched soldiers and horses to suppress the place at the same time; now that the Shang clan is to give the head, it is right to kill the thief!"
"If that's the case, then it's fine... I'm on the full prospect of my worth!"
Lin Shenhe also let out a sigh of relief on the bright face:
"Who isn't it? I have to rely on Lin Pan for my heart, and I will try my best to respond!"
Li Changwei also sighed and said: As a member of Shuzhong, he has gone through the rebellion of the Huangtou Army and the dictatorship of the brothers Tian Lingzi and Chen Jingxuan. There are hundreds of people who have survived, but Their respective circumstances and status are naturally different.
First-class or super-status, it is naturally Yang Fugong who is both the right and left privy envoy and the brothers Yang Fuguang, the capital supervisor of the ten towns in the west of Beijing, and the brother Yang Fuguang, the Feilong envoy. This way, there are soldiers, money, food and territory, and the adopted sons are mostly princes and generals. Even Xixing's emperor depends on the eunuch Xuanhe, who is already one of the few old eunuchs.
Then it came to the fore in Tian Chen’s troubles and chaos, when he was the first person around today—Li/Wen/Ge and Li Daliao. Therefore, he not only controls the matters of enlistment and declaration of Chinese and foreign ministers, but also has the authority to sell officials on behalf of the emperor. Not only the ministers of foreign dynasty should be honoured, but even the eunuchs, big and small, should be filial to him on a regular basis.
Because this Li Dagui is now also the natural umbrella and backbone of the majority of the new eunuchs after the Tian's defeat. Then came the first-class officials of the palace and the servants, who supervised the various bureaus and workshops. They have more or less mastered the application of part of the palaces, halls, and walks in daily life.
Therefore, in addition to the routine salaries and rewards, you can also get some extra income from your job. In addition, when they reach their level and level, they can be sent to prison and become the military guards of a prescription town. As long as they are not too lucky, they will basically be turned against the court. Able to return full load on the job.
But today, the feudal towns that are still under the imperial court are only left with seven or eight families in the Sanchuan of Jiannan and various roads in the northwest. Among them, the roads in the northwest are far away and uneasy along the way. The supervising army out of the town still needs the secret approval of the Yang brothers to make the trip. Therefore, the remaining travels in Jiannan Sanchuan, which can be directly affected, plus a Qinzhou Tianxiong army, has become a beautiful thing for these inner eunuchs, middle and upper ranks to grab their heads.
Then, it was the turn of the eunuchs on duty in each specific palace, warehouse, and neifang. Originally, through some private scalping and stolen fertilizer distribution activities, it was also possible to settle a home outside the palace. However, it is no longer what it used to be in Chang'an Da Nei. There are not so many palaces, museums and gardens, or even the imperial palaces, for them to profit privately.
In addition, after the Tian’s internal and external collusion rights, and the Yang brothers who were loyal to the emperor and serving the country led the army outside, the current Datang Saint Lord still believes in them as inward officials, although he still believes in them, but he never loses much. It was not possible to reward them regardless of size as in the past, or to easily delegate all kinds of business trips.
This makes the eunuchs of the middle and lower classes sad for some days. Of course, under them, there are many Huangmen children who have no reputation and duties. They are humble and arbitrarily driven and supplemented like the slaves of large families. Most people may spend their entire lives in a cold palace. Hastily passed through; and there is no chance to approach or see Sheng Yan at all, let alone no one cares.
Therefore, in the case where most people have not been able to get foreign assignments or errands, it is particularly rare for a person to be able to join hands to do business and get regular dividends. Although Li Daliao didn't like this point of income, he couldn't ignore the voices and demands of his subordinates; otherwise, he could easily gather around him, thinking that the hearts of the people against the old eunuch family would be lost.
Therefore, when he was able to share his worries, he was also pleased to see the results and even contributed secretly to push Lin Shenhe to an important position in Xichuan Liangtai. And Li Changwei also because he worshipped Li Daliao, who was just a few years older than him, under his knees in spite of his face, he seized this opportunity to come out as a spokesperson for both public and private purposes. Therefore, he obviously cares more about mutual interests than Lin Shenhe.
However, for Lin Shenhe, all the glorious scenery in front of him is vain and dreamlike; in other words, every day he is here is torment and torture in his heart. After all, he is not a specially trained spy and spy, but just the cunning and contingency of a small businessman's origin. He can walk step by step to the present, but it is the result of various causes and conditions.
Therefore, he was awake at night and walked on thin ice in fear; hearing and expecting the news of the Taiping army's invasion of the city in the south, he smiled and dealt with the various characters in Chengdu. He once thought that he was about to collapse or faint in the next moment; several times, he also had the idea of wanting to escape from death.
But in the end, he persisted in a certain sense of being a merchant, and became more sophisticated and smooth. Then, on the surface, he was used to being hungry and cold outside, and the extravagance of Zhumen Gaotang. Forced to marry a wife and then an identity crisis broke out on the wedding night. Fortunately, it's all over, and he can finally sleep peacefully, without worrying about revealing something that shouldn't be in his sleep.
Lin Shenhe thought about saying goodbye and went back to the house and business hall he had newly acquired. I saw the little servant waiting there, one of the secret spies sent by the rear to help him. The first batch of guard puppies from the young army battalion greeted him, and deliberately emphasized with a strong accent:
"Langjun, has there ever been news from over there?"
"I have already confirmed it. It is estimated that someone has come from my hometown... However, I just started a small business and I was targeted by the big business..."
Lin Shenhe pointedly said:
"Whether it is for the sake of the folks in the village to ventilate? After all, they are all from their hometown..."
Wei Puppy suggested slightly again:
"No, people come all the way, and they have their own regulations and plans. It's not okay for us to go out of the way, but accidentally will get angry..."
Lin Shenhe negated with some thought:
"When things are settled here, let's go back to Xichuan as soon as possible. The foundation of our business is still there after all..."
"Well, everything is up to Lang Jun. The younger one will go and pack up."
"Well, everything is up to Lang Jun. The younger one will go and pack up."
Wei Puppy hesitated when he heard the words, but didn't insist on it anymore.
Only when the next day, Lin Shenhe and his party had just set off from Nanzheng, they ran into waves of messengers who were flying in their heads. Then, when there was no time for drinking water in the midday, another military academy from Nanzheng City brought military books and brought him back to Nanzheng City.
The corresponding reason is also very simple, because the messengers who asked for help in the previous few waves brought a bad news, and in the direction of their southward, traces of peace thief also appeared in the territory of Jiedushi Dongchuan. Therefore, if you continue to move forward, it is very likely that you will bump into the outposts and detectives outside the thief army. The court is about to lose a capable official.
—I am the dividing line —
And under the wall of the city, the corpse was already covered with blood and blood. And Guo Yan, who stood firm on the top of the city, also began to regret his trustworthiness and blind self-confidence. After all, although Chenggu City is located at the heart of mountains and rivers, it is only a small city with a wall of no more than two feet high.
For the concealment of the sneak attack and the speed of marching lightly, they did not bring a lot of firearms and medicines. Therefore, they were besieged by more officers and soldiers than they had imagined; they persisted until the third day. It's already exhausted. However, the support from the rear has not yet been seen.
If he is not determined to fight back at this time, but he has listened to the opinions of Li Hanzhi. Resolutely determined to take advantage of this round of fatigue of the officers and army, break through the night into the valley of Xingshidao. Relying on the small number of people and horses left behind in the sky, and re-arranging defenses in the narrow terrain, the situation is estimated to be much better.
But now, they can only fall into the offensive and defensive battle with the besieged officials and traditional cold weapons. However, what worries him more faintly is Li Hanzhi's thoughts. (End of this chapter)
