I, the Ming Dynasty, can still save me

Chapter 329 Take action as soon as possible (first update)
"Dingtao County Magistrate Yang Yixiong led the county government officials to pay homage to the Commander-in-Chief. We have hosted a banquet in the county, and I would like to invite you to honor us."

Jiang Lin rode his horse and looked at the people in Dingtao County who were bowing and saluting. He smiled and then ordered the people behind him to dismount.

Then he quickly helped Yang Yixiong up, pretending to be sorry and said:
"Where, where, everyone in the capital camp and I are going to bother you here for a day. Please don't dislike it, Magistrate Yang."

"My lord, Commander-in-Chief, you are joking. This is our duty, so why bother? Prime Minister Li, you will hand over the food and grass prepared by the county later. Don't neglect it."

Upon seeing this, Yang Yixiong quickly explained, and at the same time turned around and asked the Hufang County Magistrate behind him to hand over the grain and grass. Although the money made him feel distressed, there was really nothing he could do. After all, this was what everyone in the Beijing camp was most concerned about.

"I understand my humble position. Please rest assured, Lord Magistrate, that the food and grass are ready."

Upon hearing this, Li County Prime Minister immediately stepped forward to apologize and promised with a smile.Seeing this, Jiang Lin turned to Huang Degong and said:

"General Huang Shen, you will be responsible for handing over the provisions and setting up camp later. Magistrate Yang, I have long heard that the mutton in Dingtao County is very tender, but I can't wait any longer."

"Hahaha, don't worry, Commander-in-Chief, I will ask you all to taste it today."

After saying that, Yang Yixiong led Jiang Lin and others to the county town, leaving only Huang Degong and Li County Cheng to hand over the food and grass.

Li Xiancheng was originally afraid that General Huang Ginseng would be dissatisfied when he saw that he did not go to the banquet, so he thought that he would have a meal alone with this General once the arrangements were made later and have a chat.

But before he could say anything, he saw that Huang Degong seemed to be used to this kind of thing. He handed over his hand first, and asked people to set up camp at a certain location, and began to talk to him about the handover of food and grass.

Fortunately, the two of them were relatively familiar with these matters. They quickly handed over the food and grass and watched their subordinates carry the food and grass.

Li Xiancheng stood beside Huang Degong, looking at the busy scene in front of him, and said in a nonchalant tone:
"By the way, General Huang, I heard from the Beijing News before that when the troops were dispatched from Beijing, they were led by Datong General Yang Zhaoji. But this time when you reported that they were passing through Dingtao County, why didn't you mention Yang Zhaoji again? Where is the commander in chief?"

Huang Degong laughed when he heard this. During the handover just now, he saw Li County Prime Minister poking his head to understand the situation in the capital camp.So I had already guessed that this person would ask this question, but I didn't expect that Li Xian Cheng could not hold back so much.

"I don't think there is any need to tell you this kind of military information, sir."

Li Xian Cheng was originally listening with a smile on his face, but when he saw Huang Degong say this, he immediately looked embarrassed and wanted to explain immediately.Huang Degong laughed when he saw this, patted his shoulder and said:
"Hahaha, I was joking just now. Yang Zhaoji has divided his troops. He wants to take the canal to South Zhili, and then recruit more troops to go to Guizhou."

Seeing Huang Degong joking like this, the embarrassment on Li Xiancheng's face eased a lot. He quickly squeezed out a smile and said with a smile:

"General Huang Shen really likes to joke. But it seems that the war in Guizhou is urgent. These chieftains do not respect the king, which is really abominable. When the time comes, Huang Shen will make contributions to the country, wipe out the rebels, and bring peace to the people of Guizhou."

Upon hearing this, Huang Degong immediately raised his hands and said:
"Then thank you very much, Li County Cheng Jiyan."

"Don't dare, don't dare."

Upon seeing this, Li Xian Cheng looked around and saw that the food and grass were almost transported. Huang Degong seemed to be easier to talk to, so he walked a few steps forward:
"General Huang Shen, you look like you are not yet [-] years old. You are really young and promising. I heard that you were all brought out by His Majesty. You are now a general, and your future is bound to be limitless.

Now that the commander-in-chief and the county magistrate have entered the county government office, we are the only two left to handle things here. Now that the food and grass supplies have been taken care of, we must be fine.I have also set up a banquet in the city now, and I would like to invite Huang Ginseng to show his appreciation, so that I can help you with the wind and wash away the dust. "

Huang Degong was still instructing people to set up camp. When he saw that Li County Cheng beside him had not left after finishing the matter, he felt helpless. He could only glance at him and said casually:

"Li County Cheng, it's not that I don't give you face, it's just that there are a lot of things to do when setting up camp here, and I really can't leave here.

Secondly, the court strictly prohibits civil and military officials from making friends privately. It is normal for the county magistrate to entertain the general of the army at a banquet. It does not matter for public or private purposes. But I am afraid that it is not in line with the system if you invite me. I am afraid it will be bad if others find out. . "

Li Xian Cheng was speechless upon hearing this. He thought to himself whether Huang Degong really thought this or not. It was really unreasonable to care about this in this age.But seeing Huang Degong say this, he could only smile and nodded awkwardly, and quickly raised his hands and said:
"I made an oversight. Please forgive me. The handover of food and grass is now complete. If there is nothing else, I will leave first."

Upon seeing this, Huang Degong just nodded, cupped his hands and said:
"Well, then I won't send Prime Minister Li off."

Li Xiancheng didn't want to bring trouble to himself. He cursed Huang Degong in his heart for being so disrespectful. He was really a vulgar person, and then he said goodbye and left.

Looking at Li Xian Cheng's retreating figure, Huang Degong didn't care.In fact, it's okay to go have a meal with Li County Cheng, but he has more important things to do now.

Because he had already seen that Sun Xinji, who was Qian Zong, had been waiting for a long time. When he saw Prime Minister Li leaving, he immediately greeted him.

"General Huang Shen, the people from Jinyiwei have arrived."

"Take them to the main tent, I'll be there shortly." Huang Degong nodded and said yes. His task was not just to hand over the food and fodder and set up camp.What's more important is to communicate information with the Jin Yiwei here.

"Sir General, Yang Gong, who holds a humble position as a member of the Jinyi Guards family, has been ordered to come and report the military situation."

As soon as Huang Degong entered the camp, he saw three people sitting in the tent wearing gray robes and wearing brocade guards' belt badges.Seeing Huang Degong come in, the leading Jinyiwei Baihu immediately expressed their intention to come.

"Please take a seat, Mr. Yang. Mr. Commander-in-Chief has entered the county for a banquet. Before he left, I told you that I would contact you about Bai Lian's rebellion against the party. I just didn't expect you to arrive so soon."

Upon hearing this, Huang Degong immediately asked people to watch their seats, but Yang Gong's face showed a solemn look when he heard this, and he clasped his hands and said:

"The military situation is urgent, so I came here to report."

When Huang Degong heard that the military situation was urgent, he paused and said quickly:

"What happened? Did Xu Hongru and others notice it?"

"According to our observations in the past few days, since the news of the coming of the Beijing Camp was released, Xujiazhuang began to strengthen the review of outsiders. Without the recommendation of someone from the village, it is impossible to enter.

Moreover, Xu Hongru also sent several groups of people to the north, either to monitor your movements or to report the news.From our point of view, even if he is not aware of it now, he is still wary. "

Hearing this, Huang Degong was secretly surprised, thinking that Xu Hongru was very vigilant.

"They have different intentions to begin with, and they will definitely be very careful when they see the army crossing the border. However, I will convey this news to the Commander-in-Chief as soon as possible. Since they are wary, we must be alert and quick to prevent them from running away."

Yang Gong nodded when he heard this. He had stayed in Dingtao County for three or four months. Now he knew Xu Hongru's influence very well and knew that this person had great intentions. If the court did not destroy him this time or let him run away, he would definitely do it. It will turn Shandong upside down.

"Xu Hongru has now become clear that he is rebellious and often uses evil words and magic methods to confuse the people. Externally, he claims that his mother dreamed of a red sun and was pregnant with her. In daily life, he treats his followers by claiming that he should be an emperor in life and that he should realize that Buddha is the ancestor in death.

He also likes to use magic tricks on weekdays. Many believers also say that he has magical powers that can make people see gold mountains, silver mountains, mian mountains, rice mountains, oil springs, and wine wells. As long as they take refuge in his disciples, they will not be poor throughout their lives.Therefore, there is an endless stream of people from the surrounding area who hope for "future wealth" and want to worship under his sect.

In Shandong, since the severe drought last year, although the imperial court has provided assistance, it is only a drop in the bucket.Therefore, these believers worshiped Xu Hongru as Qu Tan and Luo worshiped him and were willing to die for him.Xu Hongru also took the opportunity to send out a large number of envoys to preach the gospel everywhere. Now the followers of the church in the surrounding counties are flocking to him, rushing to bring his wife and son back.

The chaos behind him is clear. This time he must complete his task in one battle. He must not be allowed to escape! "

What Yang Gong said made Huang Degong get to know Xu Hongru again. He never expected that he would be so blatant.

"Didn't the Dingtao government notice it? Didn't they care?"

"No matter what, Xu Hongru spends money to bribe these county officials every year. County Magistrate Yang is also an outside official. His knowledge of Dingtao County comes from below. I guess in his opinion, this Xu Hongru is still a local official. The enlightened gentry in the county should be praised frequently.

Let's just say that Li County Cheng just now collects Yang Hongru's money every year. He must have asked the general a lot of questions just now, presumably for Xu Hongru. "

Huang Degong also thought about it after hearing this. The more he thought about it, the more something was wrong.If Li Xian Cheng was asking on behalf of Xu Hongru, then where was the general Yang Zhaoji who was asked just now?Isn't it also something Xu Hongru is concerned about?

Now it seems that Xu Hongru is really concerned about the affairs of the Beijing camp, which makes Huang Degong have to wonder if Xu Hongru already knows the purpose of the Beijing camp.

"How is the situation over at Xujiazhuang? Could you please tell me, Mr. Yang, in detail? I think we have to move ahead of schedule."

While the two were talking, in a tea shed in the south of Caozhou Prefecture, the sun was scorching hot outside, and a group of traveling merchants once again gathered to drink tea to escape the heat.

But a sound of horse hooves passed by, and everyone looked around and saw a middle-aged man stopping here and said to the tea shed owner:
"Boss, let's have herbal tea for two nights, hurry up."

"Come on!"

Upon hearing this, the owner of the tea shed quickly brought two bowls of herbal tea over. The big man picked it up and drank it without saying a word. He drank it in a few sips.

Then he wiped his mouth, took out a few coins and threw them on the table, and asked the teahouse owner:

"Boss, how far is this place from Dingtao County?"
