Chapter 32 Application
When Zhang Jun's mother woke up, she saw four corpses dragged to one place by Zhang Jun and piled together. She fetched water to wash the floor, and sat alone in the yard eating wine and meat. Seeing that he looked calm, she wanted to add more.
Fear.
After hesitating for a long time, Zhang Jun's mother came to the yard and said to her son: "You killed someone here, what should I do?"
Zhang Jun said: "Tomorrow I will go to the military camp outside the town to carry food for them back to the capital. One hundred yuan a day is enough. If I bring one more person, I will just ask for less money. When we get to the capital, we will take the money and make plans.
"
Last year, the Jin army went south and only attacked Jingxi Road and did not attack Kaifeng Mansion. At this time, Kaifeng was still a safe place in people's eyes. As for what happened next? Looking at history, people in later generations will find it difficult to believe that the Jin army's attack was so sharp.
, and Zhao Gou would be so useless.
As the mother watched, she saw Zhang Jun drinking and eating meat there with a calm expression. How could he tell that he had just killed four people in a row? The more she looked, the more frightened she became. In the past twenty years, she has not known this side of her son.
In the military camp outside the city, Wang Xiaolie was working with grain merchants to transport grain from the city. Cao Zhiyan brought several Caizhou officials to recruit porters there. Soldiers can carry grain, but they must be protected
The army seemed to have insufficient manpower. It was busy until late at night before it could finish the transportation.
After ordering people to buy wine and meat, Wang Xiaolie invited several grain merchants to drink in the military camp.
After three rounds of drinking, Zhou Yuan said: "The general has served the country, so we should prepare some wine and meat as a reward. It is not good to eat wine instead. We originally discussed preparing some cattle and sheep for the general to take back.
.It’s just that it’s hot now, and the meat can’t be stored for long. So I bought dozens of jars of wine, and the general took them away with the food. Let’s talk about our wishes.”
Wang Xiaolie hurriedly thanked him.
The wines of this era were somewhat different from those of later generations. They were all rice wines, with low alcohol content, and they also served as beverages. Especially in the military, wine had a special function and could indeed boost morale. Moreover, at this time, wine was still popular in society, and men, women, old and young
, all are good at this one.
Kaifeng Prefecture is short of food, and there is actually very little wine on the market. Most of them are made by various armies, for the enjoyment of the officers, they brew some privately. Wang Xiao's hunting army does not make wine, and buys some from other armies every day. Dozens of jars are shipped back.
, is of great use.
Lu Yuan said: "The Jin army was really ferocious last year, even Caizhou suffered disaster. General, in your opinion, will the Jin army come again?"
Wang Xiaolie thought for a while and said: "The Jin army went south to rob wealth and people. Jingxi Road has already suffered a disaster. It should not come again in a year or two. You see, Kaifeng Mansion was robbed once. This year
There would be no Jin army. It should be the same near Caizhou."
The three of them nodded together and whispered.
The current situation of the Song Dynasty really does not look like it can stop the Jin soldiers. Ordinary people, especially those in the north, all want to retreat on their own. Last year, when the Jin army attacked Caizhou, these members were still frightened.
How can Wang Xiaolie analyze the movements of the Jin Army with the information he currently has? However, according to his past life memories, it seems that the Jin Army did not use large-scale troops in the Central Plains in the next few years. But if the Jin Army does not come, will everything be calm?
?I’m afraid not necessarily.
It's already May, how long can Zongze hold on? Wang Xiaolie knows that it won't be long. Once Zongze dies, there will be chaos in the north. Kaifeng Prefecture does not have a million rebels, but the number is definitely not small. Once these people
If it spreads from Kaifeng Prefecture, the Central Plains will definitely be a disaster.
Thinking of this, Wang Xiaolie thought of the problem that worried him again. Without Yi Zongze, where should he go? Until now, he still can't make up his mind. The world is vast, making it even more difficult to make a decision.
It wasn't until late at night, when Caizhou was about to close the city gates, that several members of the army said goodbye and left.
After sorting things out, Wang Xiaolie called Cao Zhiyan and asked him: "How many porters are being recruited today? Are there enough?"
Cao Zhiyan said: "Including Caizhou City, a total of less than 200 people have been recruited, and there are many people who are lacking. Xiaoshe people, is our daily price of a hundred cents a little lower? After the war, the price of goods has risen, and it is difficult to find a hundred cents.
Provide for the family.”
Wang Xiaolie said: "It's quite a lot. In the past, they used to cook and cook for themselves. Now they have to eat and live in the army for free, so the daily hundred wen is much more than before. However, if they really can't recruit
When I get someone, I have to increase the price."
Cao Zhiyan said: "In my opinion, it's better to add some money. The price of rice is so high, and I won't have much money left after returning from Kaifeng Mansion. Or I can ask Cai Zhizhou to let him serve in the state."
After hearing this, Wang Xiaolie shook his head: "At this time of year, if you send a servant, won't you invite scolding? It's better to spend some money or hire someone. Okay, you can put up a notice tomorrow and I'll be there."
The money is one hundred and fifty cents per day."
Cao Zhiyan agreed. Seeing that it was getting late, he went to the army to find officials and asked them to write notices. Write them early and post them early tomorrow morning.
The next day, Zhang Jun transported several corpses to his room and hid them. He took his mother to the town. When he arrived at the bridge, he saw many people reading the notice in front of the white wall. After hearing it read, he knew where Wang Xiaolie was going.
After hearing the price, I couldn't help but be overjoyed.
After looking for his mother, Zhang Jun said: "We are looking for someone to carry food in the military camp over there, and the money has been increased to 150 cash per day. It will take at least six or seven days to get to Kaifeng Mansion, and we will almost have enough money. It is a lot of money.
.”
Mother said: "What can money buy? I heard people say that everything in Kaifeng is expensive."
Zhang Jun said: "That Yan Lizheng has quite a bit of money with him. As long as we get to Kaifeng Mansion, we can make do with it for a while."
Of course, the mother knew that Yan Lizheng had money and that Zhang Jun had taken it from him. Not only that, she also had gold and silver that Yan Lizheng had given her a few days ago. But she never mentioned her son's condition.
What happens next?
Zhang Jun was killed and rushed to leave Caizhou. He took his mother and hurried to the military camp.
Outside the military camp, there were officials looking for porters. Zhang Jun took his mother to the table to apply for the job.
The official raised his head and looked at Zhang Jun, then at his mother, and said: "We are recruiting food carriers here. You are strong enough, but what is the identity of the woman behind you? What can she do?"
Zhang Jun said: "This is my mother. My father has disappeared. Now mother and son are dependent on each other. I am carrying food in the army, and my mother is accompanying me. I pay for my mother's food and accommodation, and I am just traveling with her."
The official waved his hand: "Where is this place in the army? There are a lot of random people accompanying us, disturbing the military discipline."
For a while, there was a quarrel there. Few people came to apply today, and the officials were idle there grinding their teeth with Zhang Jun.
Cao Zhiyan was busy with military affairs and went outside the military camp to look at recruiting people. As soon as he came out, he saw Zhang Jun arguing there.
Walking forward, Cao Zhiyan asked what happened. He turned around and saw that Zhang Jun was strong and strong, which was rare, and he felt a little fond of him. He asked him: "It is really inconvenient to have women in the army. You want mother and son to go together, so you are not going back to Caizhou."
?”
Zhang Jun said: "The younger one is originally from Yingchang Mansion. Since the Jin people have gone far away, they may return to their hometown."
Cao Zhiyan thought for a while and said: "Our rebel army is supposed to protect our country and protect our country, so we should provide convenience to the people. However, the army is all young and middle-aged men. If there is a woman, accidents are inevitable. So let your mother
It would be nice to change into men's clothes and be with you every day."
