Across the Water Margin: Officials of Ximen

Ever since Ximenqing led Yue Fei and the others to wipe out the Mou Shan bandits in Xiangzhou, and distributed many horses and weapons to Yuejiazhuang and Yaojiazhuang, these two Zhuangzi trained Zhuangke village soldiers day and night, and now they have a force of 700 people, which can be regarded as heroes. Standing in Tangyin County, so that thieves from far and near will never dare to commit light crimes again.

In Cangzhou, Hebei, Jiang Zhong had established a firm foothold, and got along very happily with officials at all levels such as Du Chong and Zhu Dian.Zhu Tie was worried that his family members in Yuncheng County would be kidnapped by Song Jiang and Wu Yong on Liangshan, so he moved his family to Cangzhou, Hebei, and now lives next to Jiang Zhong.

Based on the manor run by Jiang Zhong in Cangzhou, Brother Qiao Yun has already sent people to infiltrate various states and counties under the jurisdiction of Nanjing in the Liao Kingdom, and is collecting various news and intelligence in the Liao Kingdom according to Ximen Qing's distribution before his departure.

Ximen Qing asked Lu Xiaoyi and Qiao Yun to continue to monitor the movements of the bandits in Liangshanpo after hearing Qiao Yun's words.Because he knew that Song Jiang was not a peaceful person.As long as the Liangshanbo robber regains his vitality, he will definitely encourage Chao Gai and others to do evil everywhere.At that time, a big battle with Liang Shanbo will be unavoidable.

At the same time, Ximen Qing told Brother Qiao Yun that he would not let the "Golden Retriever" Duan Jingzhu keep raising horses and training the country soldiers in the horse ranch.Brother Duan Jingzhu is familiar with the geography of Liao and Jin, and is proficient in Khitan and Jurchen language, so he is the right person to go to Liao to inquire about information.After some time, after the cavalrymen of Ximen Fort have improved their riding skills, I will let Brother Duan Jingzhu go to Brother Jiang Zhong in Cangzhou, Hebei. Brother Qiao and Yun are specially in charge of inquiring about news in Liao Kingdom.

For Yue Fei and others in Xiangzhou, Ximenqing still adopts the strategy of letting them continue to study martial arts and literature in Yuejiazhuang without affecting their growth.When the time is right, Ximen Qing will go and catch all these generals and recruit them under his command.Therefore, he asked Brother Qiao Yun to visit Tangyin County from time to time to keep in touch with the brothers and sisters, and to keep abreast of the current situation of Yue Fei and others.

After a long talk, Brother Qiao Yun and Lu Xiaoyi kept Ximen Qing's request in mind one by one.Just as they were about to leave the study, Ximen Qing suddenly told the two of them that they should learn more from Wang Jin, the head coach of the deputy capital, and learn his special skills with spears and sticks.

Chapter 478 Wang Jin Marries a Wife

After sending away Lu Xiaoyi and Brother Qiao Yun, Ximenqing found Luan Tingyu and Wang Jin again, and discussed how to train the villager soldiers in Ximenbao.

Wang Jin, who used to be the coach of the 80 Imperial Army, has fought in the Western Army for many years. He is experienced in teaching martial arts and fighting in battle. His arrival makes Ximen Qing and Luan Tingyu even more powerful.

Wang Jin was also inexplicably astonished after seeing the farmer's soldiers in Ximen Fort.In his opinion, these soldiers in Simon Fort are physically strong, proficient in martial arts, and strict in discipline, and they seem to have the embryonic form of the best soldiers in the world.The army of the official Ximen Qing has already surpassed the forbidden army in Bianliang City, Tokyo.Even compared with the most elite Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty, it still lacks the killing spirit to face life and death on the battlefield.

"The senior officials have such elite soldiers, it's no wonder they were able to defeat the mighty Liangshan bandits. The military training talents of the senior officials and Brother Luan impress me!" Wang Jin sincerely praised Ximen Qing and Luan Tingyu.

"Jade can't be carved without carving. After all, these people are still villager soldiers who have just dropped their hoes. In the future, brother Wang Jin will need to practice and sharpen more. Brother Wang Jin is the instructor of the 80 imperial army. It is because of brother Wang Jin's guidance. Good luck to all of them!" Ximen Qing said to Wang Jin.

"The high officials have entrusted me with a heavy responsibility, how dare I not do my best?" Wang Jin clasped his fists in agreement.

"Brother Wang Jin, let's rest in Ximen Fort for a few days. After I finish taking care of Yanggu County, I will take you to Dulonggang for a walk. Brother Hong Zhen, who drank a few big bowls with you yesterday, is now Just station there at Dulonggang to defend against Liangshan bandits." Ximenqing suddenly invited Wang to enter Dulonggang.

Wang Jin has heard that the soldiers of Ximen Fort were mainly trained by two brothers Luan Tingyu and Hong Zhen, so he also wants to go to Dulonggang to meet Hong Zhen for a while.But he didn't know that Ximenqing saw that he was alone, and wanted to match him up in Dulonggang to talk about a marriage.

Ximenqing's brother-in-law, "Flying Tiger" Hu Cheng, the young owner of Hujiazhuang, married the eldest daughter of Fan Taigong, a wealthy family in Fan County, Puzhou, neighboring county.There is also a little girl under Mr. Fan's knee who is not yet married.

Last night, Ximen Qing discussed with Hu Sanniang, saying that the head teacher Wang Jin was a hero, and when he wanted to tell him about a marriage to win his heart, Hu Sanniang told Ximen Qing about Miss Fan from her sister-in-law's family. .Ximen Qing asked Hu Sanniang to go back to Hu's Village to talk about the matter, and he took Wang Jin to go on a blind date in a few days.

After Wang Jin, who didn't know it, left with Luan Tingyu and went to the training ground, Ximen Qing came to Pan Jinlian's room again.

Official Ximen Qing had some serious business to do with Pan Jinlian, but when he entered the house, he couldn't help Pan Jinlian's temptation, became very lustful, and flirted with Pan Jinlian.

"The willow branches are heavy after rain, and the pine color is deep with smoke."Pan Jinlian snuggled up to Ximen Qing with a ruddy complexion, she was really charming and lovable.

After Ximenqing protected and cherished the flowers, he did not forget his intention.He told Pan Jinlian to ask her to summon Zhang Gong's wife, He Jiushu's wife and other neighbors from Yanggu County to do a good job for him.

This time going north, several personal guards died in Liaodong for Ximen Qing.Of course, Ximen Qing wanted to pay compensation to the families of these guards.Pan Jinlian is a smart person, and the old neighbors in Yanggu County are all eloquent.Ximen Qing intends to let Pan Jinlian take charge of such aftermath from now on.

Pan Jinlian used to be in charge of clothing and tailoring in Ximenbao, and many guards and wives from village soldiers worked under her.Therefore, it is indeed most suitable for her to appease the orphan.

In the next few days, Ximenqing and Tang Long continued to ponder and improve the gun technology, and wrote to Xin Zan and Lu Junyi, telling them that he had opened up the business route of Jin Kingdom in Liaodong, and invited them to go north to make a fortune .

As for Zengtou City, Ximen Qing didn't pull them along this time.Because the ancestors of the Zeng family were originally from the Jurchens, Ximen Qing couldn't grasp their future position.Therefore, Ximenqing is currently limited to cooperating with Zengtou City to fight against bandits in Hebei and Shandong, but at the same time, he is also wary of Zengtou City and is unwilling to cooperate more deeply with them.

Of course, for Shi Wengong and Su Ding who are Han people, Ximenqing will still keep in touch with them from time to time, and gradually win them over. Another fatal blow to Zengto City.

In order to ensure that this goal can be achieved in the future, Ximenqing has already prepared for a rainy day and has laid more eyeliners in Lingzhou.

For his core allies, Zhujiazhuang and Hujiazhuang, Ximenqing naturally came to the door in person, pulling them to make a fortune together, and then strengthen the strength of these two Zhuangzi.

The Yuejiazhuang and Yaojiazhuang in Tangyin County have been infiltrated by Ximenqing, and they can be mobilized in the future.Ximenqing selected [-] good horses from the good horses brought back from Liaodong, and asked Jiao Ting and Qiao Yun to send them over.The officials of Ximen Qing want to help Yue Fei and the others to firmly control the gang of their nephews and juniors in their own hands.

After arranging everything, Ximen Qing took Wang Jin south to Dulonggang and stayed in Hujiazhuang.Hu Sanniang who rushed to Hu's Manor earlier had already persuaded Mrs. Hu, Hu Cheng and her sister-in-law Mrs. Fan, and Mrs. Hu also invited her in-law, Mrs. Fan, to be a guest at Hu's Manor.

When Ximenqing brought the heroic Wang Jin into Hu's village, Mrs. Hu accompanied her in-laws to take a closer look. Mrs. Fan was very satisfied with Wang Jin, who was born in Bianliang, Tokyo, and was willing to send his little daughter marry him.

With the help of Ximen Qing and Hu Sanniang, Wang Jin finally made an agreement on the marriage at Hu's Village.The two parties selected a good day and an auspicious day, and Ximen Qing presided over it, and helped Wang Jin marry the young lady of the Fan family back from Fan County.

Now that they have formed a relationship with Wang Jin, the officials of Ximen Qing finally tied the brave Wang Jin firmly to his chariot.

In Dulonggang, Ximenqing told his father-in-law Hu Laotai, brother-in-law Hu Cheng, Zhu Chaofeng and Zhu's three brothers from Zhujiazhuang that he opened up maritime trade in Dengzhou, and now he can cooperate with Dajin Kingdom, Koryo Kingdom and Japan. In order to do business in the country, let the two Zhuangzi partner with him, and go north with him to do business.

Now Liaodong is in chaos, and even some states that lack food have even experienced cannibalism. It can be said that there is a shortage of food and clothing, and there is a shortage of supplies, and even money can't buy what they need.At this time, if you transport some food and clothing from the Song Dynasty, the price will increase ten times. This is the opportunity to go to Liaodong to make war fortune.

Of course, ordinary businessmen would not dare to do business in Liaodong at this time.That's licking blood at the edge of a knife, earning money with life, but spending life without life!

Ximenqing, Hujiazhuang, and Zhujiazhuang are not afraid. They are all manors with powerful private armed forces, and some of them are soldiers to protect their caravans.

Furthermore, Ximen Qing is a gold merchant of the Kingdom of Jin, and he can still be protected by the army of the Kingdom of Jin!

479 Chapter Wanli Takes Office

Both Hujiazhuang and Zhujiazhuang are local tyrants with thousands of private soldiers, and they are not ordinary manors.For them, as long as they can make money, the land of Liaodong that other businessmen fear is just an adventure playground.What's more, Ximenqing has already opened up the joints of the Dajin Kingdom, and even got the approval of the King of the Dajin Kingdom. How could they miss this opportunity to make a fortune?

The two Zhuangzi in Dulonggang immediately mobilized to raise various commodities, goods and local specialties, and prepared to follow Ximen Qing to go north again.

Not long after, Xin Zan and Lu Junyi also spoke back.Xin Zan is now an official in Licheng, Qizhou, and he can't get away. He decided to send someone to deliver a batch of goods to Ximen Village in Dengzhou at that time, waiting to go north with Ximen Qing.Mr. Lu Junyi, who was rich and powerful, told Ximenqing in the letter that he had no goods to sell in Liaodong. On the contrary, Mr. Lu had a lot of money and wanted to go to Liaodong to buy some treasures.

Lu Junyi was in the business of pawnshop unloading warehouses, so he naturally knew that at this time, the states in Liaodong were in constant war and chaos, and antiques were the least valuable in troubled times.Therefore, he told Ximen Qing in the letter that he would send Yan Qing to take two supervisors of the warehouse and some servants with gold and silver to go with Ximen Qing to buy antiques in the states of eastern Liaodong.If the collection of antiques is not enough, we will collect some Dongzhu, a specialty of Liaodong.

Ximen Qing read Lu Junyi's letter, and thought to himself that when it comes to doing business, Lu Junyi is not stupid!As expected, he came from a rich family who has been in the pawn shop business for generations in the Daming Mansion of Beijing. He is very good at taking advantage of people's dangers to make a fortune!

So good!Ximenqing summoned these friends to go north to Liaodong to make a fortune in war. Of course, he hoped that the people around him were profiteers, and he could scrape as many layers of land from Liaodong as possible.The reason for doing this is of course to strengthen one's own power.The two also hope to unknowingly weaken the economic strength of some places in Liaodong through commercial means.

The medicinal materials recovered by Ximen Qing from Liaodong and Korea were all sold at high prices to Bianliang City in Tokyo, so they also needed to hoard medicinal materials again.Therefore, while allies were preparing supplies for going north, Ximenqing also stepped up printing new books and brewing high-quality wine.

Ximen Qing knew that the Jurchen nobles of the Kingdom of Jin still had a great demand for Chinese books, so he could sell them after a few more trips.And Wanyan Gushen said that the Jurchen script created by him and Wanyan Moulianghu is almost finished.The next time I go to the Kingdom of Jin, I can receive a big business from Wanyan Gushen to translate and print Jurchen books.

As for the fine wine brewed by Ximen Qing, in that bitterly cold place in Liaodong, it is impossible for Ximen Qing to sell as many jars as the demand is saturated.I'm afraid that Jurchen men like Wanyan Yinshu Ke, who are addicted to alcohol, have already finished their stock and are waiting day and night for Ximen Qing, right?

For Ximen Qing, who has mastered the advanced technology of printing and brewing, Liaodong is a treasured place to do business.

Just when Ximenqing was about to hit the iron while the iron was hot and then go to Liaodong to make a fortune, he got news that Chen Wenzhao, the prefect of Dongping Prefecture, had made great achievements in governing the local government and smashed the bandits in Liangshan. went.The magistrate who succeeded Chen Wenzhao was named Cheng Wanli, and it was said that he had arrived.

Is Cheng Wanli, the prefect of Dongping Prefecture, finally here?Ximen Qing's eyes lit up.

Cheng Wanli was an unlucky guy in history, because his daughter was too beautiful and he was killed.

Cheng Wanli brought his family to Dongping Mansion to be the magistrate. He never thought that his beautiful daughter would be imprisoned by his soldiers and horses, and Dong Ping, a flamboyant "two-gun general", would miss him.

Dong Ping has not yet married a wife, so he repeatedly sent people to ask the magistrate to marry him.I don't know whether he doesn't like Dong Ping's flamboyant nature, or he dislikes him as a general, but the magistrate Cheng Wanli has always refused Dong Ping's marriage proposal.Therefore, the two of them are somewhat at odds with each other in daily life.

Later, Song Jiang led Liangshan soldiers and horses to attack Dongping Mansion, and the despicable Dong Ping took advantage of the momentum of the bandits to press the city to press for the marriage.What Dong Ping meant was that you, the prefect of Cheng, would not agree any more. Be careful that I, Dong Ping, will not do my best to destroy the bandits, and let you have a good time to suffer from the bandits in Liangshan.

Faced with Dong Ping's shameless threat, as a civil servant who didn't know how to fight, the magistrate Cheng Wanli could only delay his troops, and replied to the visitor: "I am a civil servant, and he is a military officer. It is justified to be a son-in-law. But now the bandits Lincheng, the matter is critical, if you pay back, you will be ridiculed. Wait until the bandits are retreated and the city is safe, then it is not too late to discuss relatives."

After listening to Cheng Wanli's reply, Dong Ping understood that he was still unwilling to marry his daughter to him.Dong Ping hesitated because of this, secretly annoyed.

Soon after, Dong Ping was captured by Song Jiang's design, and immediately surrendered to Liangshan without any backbone, and cooperated with Liangshan's bandits to break through Dongping Mansion, burning, killing and looting in the city.

When the city of Dongping Mansion was broken, Dong Ping also went straight to the private office, killed the prefect Cheng Wanli's family, and forcibly occupied the prefect Cheng Wanli's daughter.
