Chapter 476 Little Fox

Han Xiufeng was too lazy to see Zhang Gui, the guard of the South Bank, and Chen Hu didn't have so much scruples. He heard Ji Da say that Mr. Han would go to see Wu Daotai later. Thinking that the carriage he had hired had returned to the capital, he couldn't just walk like this, so he ran to the garrison office opposite the schoolyard to borrow horses.

Zhang Guiyi, who was waiting for news at the calligraphy, painting and antique shop, heard his family report and hurried back to ask the groom to lead out the only two horses in the yamen. Not only did he tie the saddle on his own, but he also held the horse and Chen Hu to wait at the entrance of the Heguan Yamen.

After waiting for about half a stick of incense, Ji Daji and the second-class people who had been wearing all the clothes of the people before not only changed into official uniforms, but also some were carrying oxtail knives on their backs, while others were carrying foreign guns. The big head was wearing an iron helmet and a cotton armor covered with copper nails. They pressed a short and exquisite hand gun with their left hand and held the oxtail knives on their right hand, like a door god, majestic.

Zhang Gui always thought that they were all Mr. Han’s family, but he never expected that they were all military officers. They looked at each other without squinting and were arrogant. At a glance, he knew that he had seen blood in the formation. In contrast, the dozen or so green camp soldiers under his command who were pale and thin, listless, and even had patches of the number clothes were a group of beggars.

While secretly frightened, Han Xiufeng came out with Wang Qianli and Cui Hao, who were also in the official uniform, stood at the yamen gate and looked around, and asked expressionlessly: "Zhang Shouge, when did you become a groom?"

Zhang Gui hurriedly said, "Report to Mr. Han, there is nothing to do in the morning of the humble rank. I can guide you and accompany you to the Dao Bureau."

"What kind of moral integrity is the dignified fifth-rank guard? "Han Xiufeng looked back at Guanhezhou magistrate, county magistrate of the prefecture, chief magistrate of the prefecture, chief magistrate of the prefecture, and other civil servants, and said coldly: "I will check the battalions this afternoon, so you might as well go and do the job quickly."

What Zhang Gui was most worried about was this. How could he miss this opportunity to flatter him? He hurriedly let go of the reins and bowed, "Master Han, the humble position is close to you, and there is nothing to prepare for, but there is one thing that is not to be a humble position or not."

"But it's okay."

"The brothers stationed on Shijingshan are far away. Even if they can arrive before the sun sets, they will not be able to go back after you check it out." Zhang Gui took a peek and said carefully: "I know you plan to let them practice here, but there are so many people coming at once. What will they eat and where to stay at night, so you can't be prepared."

Han Xiufeng thought about what to do so many people at once. First of all, they need so many people, but nodded slightly: "Well, you have to make some preparations. Otherwise, you are familiar with this area and help you arrange today's supper and tomorrow's breakfast first. How much money is needed? Let's take it with Su Jueming... that is, the chief of my official."

"I'll do it now!"

"Please go back too. I am in charge of official duties, so take a step first." Han Xiufeng bowed to the group of civil servants who were guarding the yamen and refused to leave. Then he took the reins from Zhang Gui and turned over the horse, leading Datou and others to the direction of the Dao Bureau without looking back.

There was a horse left, and Wang Qianli wanted to give in, but Cui Hao said with a embarrassed look that he had never ridden a horse. Wang Qianli was not polite. With Chen Hu's help, he climbed onto the horse and led Chen Hu, Zhang Qingyu and Tian Gui, six brothers from Lao Tai Yong Camp, Naobune Gu'an County.

Fortunately, Chen Chongdi's family was smart enough, so he went to the village to hire a mule, and accompanied Cui Hao to Huangcun, where the hall office of Shuntianfu South Road, was located, with the mule's owner.

The troops were divided into three groups, leaving only Su Jueming, Ge Erxiao and Wang Hedong two additional foreign ministers. Zhuozhou Prefecture Sect and other civil servants under the Nan'an Department wanted to leave but did not dare to leave, so they surrounded Su Jueming and the other two to find out the news. Su Jueming did not dare to accept the door bags they had to be beaten to death, and did not dare to say anything they shouldn't have said. He simply bowed to them and ran into the government office to express their gratitude to the guests.

...

Wu Tingdong knew that the new Nan'an Tongzhi would rectify the Heying Camp today, and he knew more about such a big deal that he must be present, otherwise the rebellion would be uncontrollable. So today, not only did he not patrol the river, but he also ordered two police officers to call the yamen runners to stand by at the school. Shi Zanqing was also worried that Han Xiufeng would act young and recklessly, and even brought all the yamen runners in the North Bank Hall, and was ready to make a quick decision to suppress them once the rebellion was triggered.

Han Xiufeng rushed to the Dao Bureau and saw more than 200 yamen runners gathered on the school ground, one by one, and he couldn't help laughing.

Shi Zanqing, who was worried about not enough people, was planning to send his official to the Gu'an County to move troops. Seeing that he was like nothing happened, he couldn't help but come up and ask, "Why are you laughing at?"

"Uncle Shi, what are you doing?"

"If you are not afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of one. What if those Qiu Bas are not convinced?"

"I don't have to obey me, I just need them to obey orders."

"Where are those Qiu Bawan who don't obey the order?" Shi Zanqing asked afterwards.

"Don't obey orders, it's a rebellion. Rebellion is not a joke. I understand they don't have the courage." Han Xiufeng smiled and continued, "Besides, I've thought about how to rectify it. Please give me a hundred thoughts and nothing will happen."

Shi Zanqing was still worried and asked anxiously: "Don't keep it aside, how do you plan to fix it?"

"There is not a place to talk outside. Let's go in and talk."

"Okay, I want to hear what tricks you have."

Bypassing the etiquette gate and entering the road station, Wu Tingdong was holding a review of the official documents in the lobby. Han Xiufeng quickly dusted his horse's sleeves and went forward to pay homage.

Wu Tingdong looked up and asked coldly: "Brother Han, I heard that Xu Sikui has moved out of the yamen overnight. Is there any such thing?"

"Report to Lord Wu, I only knew about it in the morning. But please don't worry, Lord Wu, the Lord has sent someone to invite him."

"He will step down sooner or later, what should he do to invite him back at this critical moment?"

"What if the Xiaguan just let him go, what if the Hejian didn't have enough money and food?" Han Xiufeng looked back at Shi Zanqing and said in a humble and arrogant manner: "What's more, if he left, who would the Xiaguan want to lead the Hejian soldiers to rush to Jinghai?"

Wu Tingdong was stunned and immediately reacted: "You don't plan to keep any of the original soldiers."

"Mr. Wu is wise, so what is the plan for the officials." Han Xiufeng thought about it and bowed, "As the saying goes, 'Jobs eat food when you join the army, get salary when you get a war'. If it weren't for Lord Wu, you gave the officials 5,000 taels last night, it would be really not easy to send them to Lord Shengbao to serve. At least the silver for the expedition, salt, vegetable and food silver for the expedition will not be settled."

Wu Tingdong didn't expect that Han Xiufeng would start a new job and recruit young and strong trainers again. He didn't expect that Han Xiufeng would use the five thousand taels of silver he squeezed out with his teeth to send the original soldiers and brave soldiers from the Heying camp to Jinghai Ping. Everything was done according to the rules. Those soldiers and brave soldiers who were so poor would naturally not cause trouble as long as they could get money. As long as the soldiers and brave soldiers did not cause trouble, the guards, Qianzheng, and the foreign commissioner would not be able to cause trouble even if they wanted to cause trouble.

But when Wu Tingdong was so happy that he could not be happy and said with a gloomy face: "Brother Han, you really don't know that the firewood and rice are expensive, you must know that it's five thousand taels!"

"Mr. Wu, the officials are still reluctant to let go, and they dare not squander the five thousand taels you have tried every means to help, so the officials sent someone to invite Xu Dusi back."

"Do you think he can spit out what he has eaten?"

"If he doesn't spit out the food, he will have to lead his troops to serve under Lord Shengbao. Marines and wars are not a joke, and they are blind and can't be able to wear corpses."

Shi Zanqing was happy and couldn't help asking: "Brother Han, do you decide he dare not go?"

Han Xiufeng said confidently: "As far as Xiufeng knows, the Ministry of War ordered Heying to draw troops to help Cangzhou, Jinghai and other places more than once. If Xu Sikui had this courage, if he was really willing to serve the court, he would have personally led Heying troops to quell the rebellion, and he would have waited until today."

Han Xiufeng was thinking about how to rectify the Heying. Wu Tingdong not only thought about how to rectify the Heying, but also thought about the 5,000 taels of silver he squeezed out by selling the pot. He actually pondered: "This idea is a bit damaged, but it is also a solution. I will ask the military office to find out the official documents of the Ministry of War to order the Heying to help Jinghai before. I want to see if he dares to disobey him again."

"Sir Xie Wu."

"Don't thank you, it's all for the court."

As soon as Wu Tingdong finished speaking, Shi Zanqing actually learned from it and asked: "Brother Han, not only Xu Sikui said this, but also those guards, who co-organized the guards and the Qian General, can the general manager handle this?"

"That's what the officials plan. They don't want to serve under Lord Shengbao, but they have to take out some real money and let others help them with this."

"If they don't want to go, who do you plan to lead those soldiers to Jinghai?"

"If they don't want to go, the soldiers will not have to go any further. The five thousand taels given by Lord Wu last night can be transformed from the opening silver to the ICBC, so that they can all go to your place to serve and help you dredge and build the embankment."

"It turns out that the five thousand Lianghe ICBC has gone around and then moved to the river engineering?"

"Master Shi, you were right last night. Although the subordinates came to train troops under the order, they were all officials of the river. Since they were officials of the river yamen, how could they not think about river affairs?"

"That's right, but since you've thought about it a long time ago, why didn't you say it earlier last night?"

"Xiaguan thought about it all night before thinking about how to rectify the Heying camp." Han Xiufeng bowed again: "But one code is the same as the other code, and the Xiaguan Emperor is in charge. The military training will not be delayed at all. The Dao Administration should assist the Heying camp in the future. The money and food that should be less than the Daoist government."

Thinking that the five thousand taels could be used in river engineering in the end, Wu Tingdong was in a good mood, but after hearing what Han Xiufeng said, he was in a bad mood. He stared at Han Xiufeng and asked, "That's what, I owe you three thousand taels of silver and two thousand dan of rice and flour?"

"Mr. Wu, what are you saying? It's not that you owe the officials, but that the Bureau of the Daoist Government should assist Heying with 3,000 taels of silver and 2,000 dan of rice and flour."

"You are a good person to settle accounts, just keep the five thousand taels! I don't want to use the original Qiu Ba in Heying, and I can't afford it. Whether it's dismissal or send them to Jinghaiping, you can do it. I will never ask, you and I will clear the two things in the future!"

Shi Zanqing didn't turn the corner for a while, and subconsciously set off a smooth situation: "Mr. Wu..."

Wu Tingdong was so smart, how could he get into Han Xiufeng? Before Shi Zanqing finished speaking, he sneered: "Brother Shuang, do you think those tricky Qiu Bas can honestly dredge and build dikes? It's better not to use those bastards who are not good enough to make things worse!"

Shi Zanqing realized that Han Si was troublesome to send Qiu Ba to Jinghaiping, so he wanted to cut the mess quickly and push Qiu Bayi to the Dao Bureau. He was so angry that he gritted his teeth: "Han Zhixing, Han Zhixing, how could you do that? You dare to make a trap for Lord Wu!"

"Mr. Wu, Master Shi, don't get me wrong. The official is thinking that the Lingsun is coming, and your two men are short of people..."

"I am short of people now, but no matter how short of people, I will not use those bastards." Thinking that this may be an opportunity to deal with the little fox in front of me, Wu Tingdong couldn't help but smile: "Brother Han, you should think about who will lead them to serve in Jinghai. I'm going to Jinghai for more than 100 miles, and the world knows if they will cause trouble on the road. In my opinion, you'd better take a trip in person, otherwise if something happens, you can't afford to take care of you or I."

Han Xiufeng was prepared and hurriedly bowed: "Report to Lord Wu, the officials came here to train troops according to the order. If the officials personally lead them to Jinghai, who will let this soldiers practice?"

"The original Qiu Bayi didn't want to keep you, and it was you who wanted to send them to Jinghaiping and Rebellion, so this is your business. I asked for money and grain, and I gave it to you. I have to rectify the Heying camp. I will support you later. What do you want to do if you want me? Could it be that Han Xiufeng plans to let me lead Qiu Bayi to Jinghaiping and Rebellion?"
