Chapter 294 Minqing defenders

County magistrate Yao Peiyu immediately communicated with the guard general Lin Bailan and recalled most of the guards at the checkpoint. Now there are more than 3,000 defenders in Minqing City.

"General Lin, the person who came here is not good." Yao Peiyu, the magistrate of Minqing County, looked at the more than a hundred cavalry leaders, and there were thousands of elite soldiers behind him, and his strength was much stronger than that in the city.

"It's okay, we are in charge of the city and we have enough food and supplies. Don't worry about the county magistrate." Lin Bailan was confident and without tens of thousands of people, it was impossible to break the city.

With more than 3,000 elite troops, three more yamen runners were mobilized to organize young and strong assistance, and it would be no problem to raise 6,000 people. The city was tall and sturdy, without tens of thousands of people, so it would be impossible to move into the city.

"Personnel Han, I heard that you got a lot of money here last time." Zheng Tu looked at the city in front of him and was a little scared. He probably had to lose many brothers. He had just completed the reorganization, so he really couldn't bear it.

"It's still done." Han Zaiwu nodded, almost sloppy last time, and finally got a good harvest.

"Since Captain Han has an acquaintance here, you might as well say hello." Zheng Tu's original order was to look at the defenders inside of Minqing City, but such a great contribution was in front of him and he said he was not moved.

"Rong Han goes and have a look." Han Zaiwu was also interested. His mission was to guard the river and stare at the movements on the river. Such a boring task was extremely boring, and it was also good to find some fun to pass the time.

Han Zaiwu stepped forward when he attacked the horse, and several elite guards were on the side, alerting that hidden arrows on the top of the city were injured.

"Above the city, does anyone recognize Han?" Han Zaiwu walked fifty steps away from the city wall and shouted to it.

"Lin was ordered to stay here, but he didn't recognize you. Besides, even if Lin knew her eyes, he wouldn't recognize her sword. If you know her, you should quickly escape. Isn't this a place to get along with friendship?" Lin Bolan sneered, and he couldn't take it, and he wanted to get close to her. It was really ridiculous.

"The ignorant is fearless. Do you really think that he will never be able to live again? Han has been here before in this broken county town and has taken away a lot of silver. For the sake of the money, he is kind enough to give some reminders. Don't be ignorant." Han Zaiwu was furious, but the city wall was here, so he had no choice but to treat the other party and could only be patient.

"Mr. Yao, can this person take what he said seriously?" Lin Bolan was not stupid. He was probably true of his conviction. He was transferred to garrison here after Yongtai County was occupied. He knew nothing about the previous incident.

"I have heard of it a little." Yao Peiyu looked embarrassed. It was not easy to shirk this matter. After all, there were many people in the city who knew about it, and you will know it after a little inquiry.

"No wonder this guy is so arrogant. How much silver did he take away?" Lin Bolan looked unhappy.

"About this number." Yao Peiyu raised two fingers.

"Two thousand taels? What a huge fortune." Lin Bolan looked envious. When he was not ugly in his eating habits, he could only be three or five hundred taels a year.

"What are you talking about? Can't you take me to listen to it loudly? Isn't it just 20,000 taels? It's not a huge number." Han Zaiwu was hung under the city wall, and he felt quite angry.

"What? Lord Yao, this is suspected of being a foe." Lin Bailan was shocked. Twenty thousand taels, such a large sum of money, he gave it to the enemy quietly.

I'm so brave.

"General Lin, this is not done by me, but by a large household in the city. In order to save his life, he paid for his life in private." Yao Peiyu insisted that this matter had nothing to do with him, otherwise it would be possible to get it directly by Lin Bolan.

"What kind of enemy is your Jiedu? Your master, who was beaten by our Marquis, lost his troops and generals and fled back to Fuzhou. I'm afraid he won't come on the south bank of the Fujian River. He will surrender earlier and have a good assignment." Han Zaiwu pricked up his ears and listened to the conversation between the two. Since the two had a rift, he would continue to make trouble.

"It's simply outrageous. I will guard here day and night, but I don't have the intention of working hard at all. Instead, I will serve the enemy with both hands. What's the reason?" Lin Bolan pulled out his long sword and felt that he should take the opportunity to do something. Twenty thousand taels of taels of money. Why can the boy under the city have it? Why can he be greedy for the military pay and earn some remaining soup?

Yao Peiyu, who was standing beside him, heard Han Zaiwu's words clearly and felt a sudden uproar in his heart. Zhangwu's army was actually defeated. If he defended his life, the Minqing City would become an isolated city under the siege of the enemy. It would not last long.

"Mr. Yao, please inform those wealthy families that they will take out 30,000 taels of troops within three days. Otherwise, I will be punished for collusion with the enemy and will not lend a loan." Lin Bolan became more and more angry. I defended the city every day to defend you. You Mao couldn't bear to pull out one. Since I have caught the handle, don't blame me for being cruel. This conviction was not his turn, but now that the knife is in his hands, he naturally has the final say.

"General Lin, there are too many of these things. We can't do this trick." Yao Peiyu stopped doing it. These big families were all covered by him. You are ready to kill the meat casually, which is too shameful.

"Mr. Yao, I have more than 3,000 brothers under my command, and each of them is less than ten taels of silver. This is their life-long money. If I can't take it out, don't blame me for being rude." Lin Bolan pulled out his long knife and chopped it hard on the wall, and gravel splashed everywhere. In name, it was for the sake of the brothers under his command, but in fact most of them put into his personal pockets.

"Don't force Lin to get it in person!" Lin Bolan turned his sword and put it into the sheath. If someone really didn't know the truth, he wouldn't mind killing. As long as he got the money, where can the world be so big?

Yao Peiyu shivered. He saw the cold murderous intent in Lin Bolan's eyes. I'm afraid he could not help this matter.

"I'll give you a reply. Can you really resist stubbornly? When the Marquis leads the army to arrive, this matter will not be so cheap." Han Zaiwu was below, and the two of them lowered their voices, basically unable to hear clearly. The guard general saw the action of the knife slashing.

"Lin is on high alert. If you want to enter the city, you might as well send troops to attack, otherwise don't be clamoring." Lin Bolan was so angry when he saw Han Zaiwu. An enemy general took away so much money casually, which was a great humiliation to him.

"Mr. Yao, time is limited, so why don't you go and prepare as soon as possible?" Lin Bailan glanced at Yao Peiyu who was still stopping and watching on the city wall and said, "If you don't think about making up for money, you can still see if you can make up for it."

"Oh, please ask the general for the city defense matter." Yao Peiyu had no choice but to go down and discuss it with everyone first.

In the county government, all the officials and clerks gathered together, and they knew about the matter outside the city.

I had to worry about what happened to the county magistrate, and it was related to my wealth and life.

"The county magistrate is back!" Old Tan, who was staring at the county government office, saw the county magistrate Yao stepping away from a distance and ran back to report. Old Tan, who was originally the capital, did not break his promise after the last incident, and arranged for him to be the leader of the tax collector.

Everyone hurried to the gate to greet him. Seeing Yao Peiyu's heavy expression on his face, everyone thought it was not good. His adult's career had been unsuccessful for a long time and was made difficult by the governor. His mentality was already as stable as a rock. Now, things are probably extremely difficult.

"Mr. Yao, what's wrong?" County Magistrate Hou Bingxian couldn't contain his anxiety and asked first.

"Please come in with me. Lao Tan, arrange for someone to guard the door, and no one can get close to you." Yao Peiyu calmed down. He couldn't stand this matter alone, so everyone had to make a decision.

Yao Peiyu first drank a little tea to moisten his throat, and then briefly talked about the situation outside the city and on the top of the city, mainly because of Lin Bailan's request for money.

"What, 30,000 taels of labor force, why didn't he rob it?" County Magistrate Hou Bing first slapped the table. This Lin bullied people too much.

"Actually, General Lin is right. After all, he gave the enemy 20,000 taels before." Old Tan didn't understand why he had such a big reaction. He spent money to ensure safety, and who would give it to him?

"Fuck, can this be the same? The defenders are all supported by the people of our county. Protecting us is their duty, otherwise what should we do here? If we repel the enemy, it is understandable that we will send some money and food, but if this arrow is not released, it will cost 30,000 taels. What's the reason?" Hou Bingxian didn't care about the decency of the scholars and cursed.

Last time, it was because the city did not have enough manpower and was afraid that the other party would attack the city, so they had to buy peace. Later, Yongtai County was occupied by the enemy, and the Minqing County became the frontier. The Jiedushi sent a large army to garrison, but the support of the army was all the money paid by the county.

Minqing County is just a county, and it is already overwhelmed by the support of such a large garrison. Now it costs 30,000 taels at the opening of the Notice, so why don’t you rob it?

"It seems that's the reason." Old Tan also realized that the reason was wrong.

Everyone was indignant, as if they were robbed on the road and had to spend money to eliminate disasters. This was an ordinary thing. If the guard he raised would also ask him to pay for peace, wouldn't this be a nonsense?

"General Lin said that if he couldn't take it out within three days, he would bring someone to take it personally. The current intention is that he might kill someone to establish his authority." Yao Peiyu was also very unhappy, but he had soldiers under him and could not anger the other party.

"It's simply a robbery." Hou Bingxian was so angry that he thought it was a good thing to have a garrison. As a result, he asked himself to pay the money before the fight started.

"I'm afraid we can't help it. Not to mention whether General Lin will take action, even if we leave, we will have to take advantage of it." Lao Tan has no industry and has not much involvement with the big city owners. Anyway, it's not his turn to pay.
