My surname is Wang, my neighbor Wu Dalang

Chapter 108 Qingzhou, Murong Yanda

The news of Wang Jun's family raising tigers quickly spread.

This is simply more effective than hiring a hundred nurses, and ordinary idlers would not dare to wander around the palace.

The two cubs were as docile as puppies in front of him, and their docile objects also included Wang Lin's female relatives. Considering that they had no ability to hurt people at the moment, Wang Lin only put collars on them and tied them with cows. The tendons are stiff, and they are kept in captivity like a pet dog, and they are not locked in a cage.

The girls were terrified at first, but when they saw that the two cubs were cute and cute, they braved up and approached them slowly. After a few days, even Meng Yulou, who was the most timid, dared to touch their fluffy legs occasionally. head off.

However, for other people, such as the servants of the mansion, the two breast tigers are showing a fierce look, and they are always ready to pounce. Of course, their current actions are somewhat funny.

In the afternoon, Jiao Zhong, the commander Wang Lin sent to Qingzhou to inquire about the selection of soldiers and horses, returned to Yizhou, but he was sent back lying in a car.

Hearing that he was almost beaten to death by the prefect Murong Yanda in Qingzhou with a [-]-spine rod, and he still can't get off the ground, Wang Lin's expression turned gloomy.

The subordinates who were sent out were seriously injured, how could he look good as the main general.

Jiao Zhong was sent to Wang Lin's flower hall. The two little tigers were lying at Wang Lin's feet, squinting their eyes and pretending to be asleep.

Wang Lin scolded angrily: "Get down!"

The sound shook the flower hall, Wang Lin used the skill of the tiger's roar, and the two breast tigers were scared out of their wits.

"Jiao Zhong, why did Murong Yanda stick your spine?" Wang Lin said in a deep voice.

Jiao Zhong smiled wryly and said: "My lord, when I entered the capital of Qingzhou, I went to see Qingzhou Commander Qin Ming and Huang Xin, the commander of the military and horse capital, to deliver the imperial edict. Qin Tongzhi had promised to allocate 2000 people from the headquarters. , hand it over to your subordinates to bring it back to Yizhou."

"However, tomorrow, Qin Ming suddenly repented. There are many bandits in Yunqingzhou, and the affairs of suppressing thieves are complicated. Qingzhou is short of troops and horses. The matter of mobilizing the Fuhu army is postponed."

"When his subordinates were in a hurry, Qin Ming told his subordinates bluntly that Murong Yanda, the prefect of Qingzhou, was behind the trouble, and no division of troops was allowed."

"Later, the subordinate asked to see the prefect of Murong again, but he gave him thirty spine rods indiscriminately, and nearly beat the subordinate to death." Jiao Zhong mourned.

Wang Lin was furious.

According to the Xingtong of the Song Dynasty, the punishment of rod punishment is divided into two types: hip rod and spine rod. Non-felony or non-felony crimes should not be easily used with the rod, because the rod can easily kill people.

"My subordinates have heard that Murong Yanda is quite powerful in the middle and backstage. He corrupted the law in Qingzhou and covered up the sky with one hand. If Murong Yanda hadn't nodded for our army's selection and deployment of troops, I'm afraid..."

Wang Lin sneered: "The official documents of the Privy Council and the Ministry of War have been issued. Does he dare to openly disobey orders with a mere prefect of Qingzhou?"

Jiao Zhong hesitated to speak.

Wang Lin waved his hand: "Jiao Zhong, you don't need to say any more, I know that Murong Yanda has a younger sister who is a concubine in the palace, but so what? Forget it, you go back to rest and recuperate, I will handle this matter."

Wang Linxin said that there are more than ten million women in the palace of Zhao Ji, how much position can a so-called concubine Murong have in Zhao Ji's heart?
After Jiao Zhong left, Wang Lin thought over and over again, and finally decided to lead his troops to Qingzhou.

One is training.

The second is to deploy troops.

The third is to dig Song Jiang's corners by the way. These future Liangshan leaders who are currently entrenched in Qingzhou, no matter how big or small, they will accept all that can be used by me.

Wang Lin's military order was issued, and Fu Hu's army started immediately.

Because marching in winter has higher requirements for logistics and supplies, but in Wang Lin's view, the more severe the weather conditions, the better the will and quality of an army horse can be tempered.

Otherwise, in the future, how to fight against the golden soldiers and cavalry who are "no more than ten thousand, and more than ten thousand are invincible".

Two days later, it was snowing heavily, but at this time, the [-] Fuhu Army pulled out their camps and marched towards Qizhou and Qingzhou along the official roads against the wind and snow.

……

The seventh day of the twelfth lunar month.

It is the time of winter in the north.

After more than half a month of hard marching, the Fuhu army passed through Qizhou and Zizhou. Seeing that Qingzhou was in sight, the whole army was in high spirits.

Wang Lin ruled the army very strictly. He pulled the army out for drills and marched long distances in the middle of winter. Although some veterans in the army complained, no one dared to jump out and openly violated military discipline and military orders.

In front is the famous Ruilong Town, which can be regarded as a bustling place in Qingzhou.

Wang Lin ordered people to set up camp outside the town, went to the town and bought more than 100 pigs and sheep, and slaughtered the pigs and sheep to reward the whole army and restore their strength.

It has just snowed in Qingzhou, and the snow on the wilderness outside the town has not yet melted.Wang Lin untied the ropes of the two cubs and let them run and play wildly in the snowy field. They had just had a full meal of flesh and blood, and it was time to digest their food.

"Teacher, the students have found out that there are many bandits in Qingzhou. From Ruilong Town to the west, there is Erlong Mountain. On the mountain there is a monk Deng Long who has returned to secular life and gathered his accomplices to occupy the mountain as king; to the west is Qingfeng Mountain , there are three bosses Yanshun, Wang Ying, and Zheng Tianshou on the mountain, with hundreds of subordinates; there is Peach Blossom Mountain and Duying Mountain ahead, and there are also powerful people on the mountain." Yue Fei said lightly.

Yue Fei felt that trekking hundreds of miles and crossing the border to suppress bandits was not in accordance with the rules, but he wanted to say it but dared not say it.

Wang Lin glanced at Yue Fei and smiled: "Yue Fei, you don't have to worry. Before we marched, I had already reported to Beijing that the subduing tiger army crossed the border to train troops, using actual combat as a drill. In fact, it was His Royal Highness's intention. All the territory of my Great Song Dynasty can be used as a training area for the Fuhu Army, not to mention Qingzhou! Besides, the imperial court has long ordered all states to select soldiers and horses to fill the Fuhu Army, but Qingzhou has not moved, so I will urge them It also makes sense."

Yue Fei bowed and said, "Student understands."

Wang Lin didn't say any more, he turned around and looked at the snow-capped mountains and the boundless dense forest.

Suppressing thieves is false, but recruiting talents is true. By the way, I also report some military exploits to Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan in Beijing, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Wang Lin looked up and let out a roar of a tiger, the sound shook the mountains and forests, frightened the birds, and the two cubs ran back from the far side quickly... Wang Lin slid one hand in the other, let the two howl, turned around and strode towards the camp.

The [-]-volt tiger army crossed the border, and the momentum was extraordinary. In fact, Murong Yanda, the prefect of Qingzhou Prefecture, had already been alarmed.

Murong Yanda looked at Qin Ming, who was in charge of soldiers and horses in the hall, and Qin Ming, who was in command of soldiers and horses, and Huang Xin, a student of Qin Ming who was in charge of soldiers and horses. I don’t know how you two feel about disregarding the regulations and leading an army to show off in our Qingzhou territory?”

Qin Ming clasped his fists and said: "The lower officials have already found out that the Fuhu Army, as the garrison place appointed by the Holy Majesty, and the imperial army squadron guarding the capital, are said to have won the three yamen in the name of cross-border military exercises and deployment of troops in Qingzhou Prefecture With the permission of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"In the opinion of the following officials, it is better to transfer two thousand soldiers and horses to Fuhu Army as soon as possible according to the order of the Privy Council and the Ministry of War, so as to avoid trouble."

Huang Xin naturally obeys his teacher's orders.

Murong Yanda got up angrily: "The imperial court is also absurd. I have few soldiers in Qingzhou, and there are many bandits in the territory. If I divide another two thousand troops to Wang Lin, what will I do in Qingzhou? Seeing that the capital city of Qingzhou is empty, these bandits will definitely be ready to move. Who will save me Qingzhou City at that time?"

Qin Ming remained silent.

Of course he knew that Murong Yanda had selfish intentions, so he deliberately evaded and made excuses.

There are [-] local troops in Qingzhou, stationed in various counties.

There are only [-] soldiers in the government, at least half of them have been reduced to private soldiers serving the Murong family's mine business, so Qingzhou government has no power to wipe out the bandits in the territory, so it can only let it go; It became an empty city.

Murong Yanda laughed again and said: "A few days ago, Madam Murong celebrated her birthday in the palace, and the government gave a lot of treasures. The majesty sent people to Qingzhou to send a hundred altars of imperial wine. I will dispatch the army to fight with you. Waiting for all the troops to have fun and drink together!"

"Thank you, master!" Master and apprentice Qin Ming bowed in salute.

Qin Ming knew very well that Murong Yanda was beating him on purpose to imply that his Murong family had a strong background and no one in the court dared to touch him.

Qin Ming also firmly believed that, after all, Murong Yanda was also regarded as a relative of the official family. The elder brother of the imperial concubine was taken care of by the official family.

Otherwise, what Murong Yanda did in Qingzhou, not to mention corruption and perverting the law, just this private silver mining is enough for Murong Yanda to punish the nine clans.

The Laizhou Gold Mine is directly managed by the Yubu Mining Department under the Ministry of Industry.

There used to be a silver mine in the depths of the mountains at the junction of Qingdeng, and Yubu once set up a mining department station. After Murong Yan arrived in office, he scrapped the mine with various excuses, and the mining department withdrew.

At some point, Murong Yanda deceived his superiors and secretly sent people to operate mining and smelting silver in the name of the court to make huge profits.

This matter is also highly confidential in Qingzhou. The reason why Qin Ming knew about it was because Murong Yanda dispatched part of the army to serve in mining, and he, the deputy military director, could not be bypassed no matter what.

Murong Yanda ordered someone to take a plate of Wenyin again, and said with a smile: "It's only 200 taels of Wenyin, the two of you will take it and eat wine!"

Huang Xin frowned, and was about to decline politely, but saw Qin Ming take it calmly, and bowed to thank him: "Thank you, Lord, for the reward!"

The teacher accepted it, so Huang Xin couldn't say anything more.

Murong Yanda laughed and got up to see off the guests: "Qin Tongzhi, ordered Huang Dujian to negotiate with Wang Lin in person, and asked the Fuhu army to leave the defense area under my jurisdiction as soon as possible, otherwise I will report to the court and participate in his private affairs." It is a felony to transfer troops across the border!"

……

When the two left Murong Mansion, Huang Xin couldn't help complaining: "Master, Murong Yanda actually ordered me to negotiate with Fuhu Army, how should I negotiate? The imperial court ordered Fuhu Army to draw 2000 people from the Qingzhou Army. As a matter of course, I am a small soldier and horse prison, how can I convince other people's majestic disciples of the Son of Heaven, God Generals who subdue tigers, and generals of the forbidden army from the fifth rank?"

Qin Ming smiled slightly: "Then just don't go."

Huang Xin was surprised, and was about to ask again, when Qin Ming walked away with his head held high.

Huang Xin chased after him.
