Water Margin Survival

From Hancheng Prefecture to Dongyu, Shouxian County, Lintun County, the straight-line distance is almost a thousand miles away, and the road along the road is blocked by heavy mountains, making it very difficult to travel.If you don't take advantage of the currently well-developed shipping industry in Liangshanbo, you will be asking for trouble.Therefore, Chang Shi Feng Xi, who went deep into the local area on behalf of the Protectorate's Mansion, took a boat all the way.

Although going from the center of the west coast to the southeast corner of the peninsula almost passed through most of the territory under the jurisdiction of the Anton Protectorate, the trip is convenient because if you don't get seasick, you don't have to worry about it.This time General Lu accepted Feng Xi's kindness and temporarily recruited four immigrant ships from the Liang Shanshui Army to return to Jeju Island.Although he is now an "idler" who has just been dismissed from the post of prefect, the navy still gave the former prefect enough face, and immediately allocated four passenger boats in good condition for General Lu and his guard battalion to board.

Political affairs are always busy, and General Lu is also aware of this, he will not stop without the government affairs of Lintun County. County Magistrate Lou Minzhong.For this person, General Lu still knows a lot about him. To say that he is "Xiao Gui Cao Sui" is derogatory. He won the latter's attention, not much worse than his previously expected successor, Qiu Xian.

When General Lu left, Lou Minzhong hadn't come from Buer County, but with Feng Xi taking over on his behalf and a group of experienced officials assisting him, he didn't have any worries.On the contrary, before parting, county and county officials, under the leadership of regiment training envoy Leng Ning, came to see him off at the pier, which still made him quite moved.At least his painstaking efforts during this period have not been in vain.These colleagues are all watching.

Although with a melancholy mood.However, General Lu actually rested for a few days on the ship.He is originally from the south, and the bumpy waterway is like a cradle to him, and he can still eat and sleep well.Looking at the magnificent sea view and chatting with the sailors in your free time is also a joy.It's just that in the first few days, whenever the fleet docked at his former jurisdiction for the night, General Lu politely declined all the local officials' invitations to him to go ashore and rest.The escorting sailor laughed and said that Lu Taishou took the ship as his own.

The places under his jurisdiction refused to disembark, so it was even easier when passing through Zhenfan County, but when he passed through Hanzi County, he heard that their county magistrate also left for Seoul early in the morning, so General Lu understood in his heart something.

There is no limit to the sea, and there is no limit to the people. Just like this, he arrived at the sea outside Seoul without any danger. Suddenly, General Lu found that the Renxian Wharf was covered by a huge fleet of ships that could not be seen at a glance. The friendly troops give way first, after all, the passengers are not ordinary people.It was the former prefect who was ordered by the Protectorate to come to report, so it's not good to delay for a long time.I don't want this well-intentioned move to be stopped by General Lu, who seldom troubles anyone along the way, as long as he insists on entering the port in order.

In the end, the guard ship in charge of duty discovered this situation and reported it to Lieutenant Tong Meng on the spot, so that the four passenger boats that General Lu was on were able to land in advance.Otherwise as it is.Waiting until dark does not necessarily have results.

Thanks to the people who gave way, General Lu stepped forward to express his gratitude. On the pier, Tong Wei came forward to receive General Lu. After learning that all the people transported this time were fully armed soldiers and not immigrants from the Song Dynasty, General Lu said with emotion. : "The Protectorate's Mansion is a big deal. It seems that it intends to manage the Koryo Peninsula like gold!"

"Prefect Lu is right! With this safe place to live and live, who dares to take a chance? No, the soldiers from the newly established prefectures will be transported ahead of time! Our brother has always taken a step forward. People with three steps!" Tong Wei said with a smile.

When the topic came to Wang Lun, General Lu asked with great interest, "Are the lord and madam in Kai County now, or have they returned to Seoul?"

"I've returned to Seoul early. Lu Yundi, who is the mediocre official, who is patient to accompany him? It's enough for my brother to see him twice, and it's enough to leave Wu Xuexue, a sour scholar, to deal with him! By the way, Lu Taishou, you don't know yet, do you?" , My lord has brought all of Lin Jiaotou’s family here, and I personally held a grand wedding for Brother Jiao a few days ago, unfortunately, our brothers are all on the way, so we can’t make it in time to attend the wedding, but Shi Dalang will send you a congratulatory gift!”

Tong Wei laughed when he saw the talk, maybe he thought of something funny.To say that many leaders are not in Seoul at this time, Shi Jin, Chen Da, Yang Chun, and Deng Fei have helped many people hand over their positions this time, and their family fortunes are almost on the line. Only Shi Wengong and Su Ding have no one to bother him .

"I really don't know about this!" General Lu was a little surprised, and felt more and more that he was deaf to what was going on outside the window. The news was too obscure, and he couldn't help but blushed, "I'll make up for how many shares you sent. share!"

"This matter, it all depends on one's own will, there is really no uniform standard!" Tong Wei laughed, after all, Lu Jiang is a "newcomer" who "only" went up the mountain, and he is on the line of civil servants. From his brother's point of view An appropriate gift, maybe people think it is too high?To say that the two brothers Li Jun were born in private business, they are far less dull than they appear on the surface.

General Lu was about to ask a few more questions, when a messenger came looking for Tong Wei, as if there was something important, Tong Wei greeted General Lu and left.At this moment, General Lu's personal soldiers said angrily: "The people in the navy are not happy, how can it be compared to our infantry who are all straight men? If Brother Wu Song was here, how could there be so many fools? It takes so much effort to ask a question! "

When interrupted by him, General Lu couldn't help laughing, and said: "You still think about your brother Wu Song? Let's go, I won't care about you after entering the city. You invite Commander Feng to report to the soldiers of the Governor's Mansion. They will arrange your basic necessities in Seoul!"

"Hey, I know!" The soldier agreed dully, obviously annoyed that he couldn't return to Jian.

General Lu smiled and said nothing. After turning his head and thanking the leader of the navy who took care of food, clothing, housing and transportation all the way, he went directly to the Renxian county government to borrow a few horses, and split up with the guard battalion soldiers under him. He only brought a few personal soldiers with him. Then he rushed to Seoul.

Looking at the residence of the Anton Protectorate, General Lu found that many captives were building an outer city on the outskirts of the city. He stopped and looked at it for a while, and then asked the little leader in charge of order some important words , Then Shi Shiran entered the city.

It was getting late at this time, and many people were returning to the city in groups. When General Lu inquired, he found out that the newly appointed magistrate of Hanyang organized migrant workers to dredge the river. Visit this Jia Qiao, if you can learn from him, you will benefit a lot in the future."

Although it was his first time in Seoul, there were soldiers patrolling the streets along the road. After asking them about the route to the Protectorate's Mansion, General Lu arrived at his destination smoothly.After entering the door and showing the official documents, General Lu asked his own soldiers to tie the horse, and he himself came to Gongcao to report.

Along the way, I met a lot of officials coming and going, but most of them didn't know each other. General Lu was happy to save himself the trouble, so he went forward and reported himself to the officials on duty. When General Lu came to Gongcao, Sun Ding happened to be at home. When they met, he poured tea and greeted him warmly. General Lu was very touched. Good luck today.

After the two sat down, they exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Sun Ding didn't procrastinate, so he asked his staff to accompany him, and went to hear the news from the Deputy Chief Protector himself. General Lu didn't wait long, and saw Sun Ding turn around with a smile, rubbing his hands Touching his cold hands, he said: "What a coincidence, Wen Duhu went out to meet some old generals for the Marshal, and it happened that the Marshal knew you were coming, so he ordered me to invite you to come and talk!"

Seeing that Wang Lun valued himself so much, General Lu was also very happy. He followed Sun Ding to Wang Lun's office in a twist and turns. At this time, the person on duty was a face-to-face young man. Sun Ding rushed to bring Lu Jiang in and didn't have time to introduce him.

Seeing new things and people he didn't know along the way, General Lu couldn't help feeling a sense of strangeness in his heart, and he also felt a sense of awe towards this growing power.Fortunately, as soon as he entered the room, he saw that the pile of official documents on Wang Lun's desk was higher than that in Lintun County, and he felt a sense of intimacy. He immediately stepped forward and saluted, "My lord, Xiaosheng is here to see you!"

"It's not too young, you're the magistrate of a majestic county! I'll call you Lao Lu again!" Wang Lun raised his head from the pile of official documents, called to wait a moment, and after writing the last line of comments, he put down the brush in his hand, Greeted: "Come, sit down, and tell me something about Lintun County!"

Wang Lun's straightforwardness quickly melted General Lu's feeling of unfamiliarity, but he saw Sun Ding stepping forward to make tea for the two of them, and then quietly retreated. He spoke in one breath for half an hour.When General Lu reported, Wang Lun mostly listened and rarely interjected, but every time he asked a question, he got to the point. General Lu sighed secretly, and at the same time answered in more detail. Work is very satisfying.

"Lintun County has done a very good start. It can be said to be a jackpot. I believe that Minzhong will not let down the solid foundation you laid." After affirming General Lu's achievements in the previous stage, Wang Lun said with a smile : "I recruited you this time, you probably guessed something?"

For General Lu, Wang Lun's smile seemed to have a kind of affinity. Although the two hadn't seen each other for almost half a year, but when they met Wang Lun face to face at this time, they still felt as excited as when they talked about the heroes of the world in the southeast.It's just that the responsibilities he shoulders now are vastly different from when he was an undisciplined person before, and his whole person feels much more stable, so although he is still excited in his heart, his tone is still calm:

"To tell the truth, my lord, I thought about it a bit when I was free on the road. But as long as my lord tells me, no matter what I do, Xiaosheng will never say anything!"

"Hehe, is this still the student of Lu University who shocked everyone with a piece of remonstrance?" Wang Lun also found that General Lu was a little different from when he first met, and his sharpness was not so obvious. Life has brought him a lot of changes, making him gradually mature and stable. Isn't the old saying "a jade can't be cut into a tool"?It seems that Lu Jiang's jade in the rough is developing into a tool.Thinking of this, Wang Lun felt a little emotional, and immediately said straight to the point:

"I transferred you back this time for no other reason than to invite you and Qiu Xian to be students for a few days!" (to be continued~^~)
