Wang Lin knew that it was Li Hongzhang's troops coming to monitor him, so he immediately ordered his subordinates to ride a horse with a white flag and negotiate and explain to the other party.
"Don't shoot... The military master on the opposite side should not shoot... His own people... are all his own people..."
"Stop! Stop just fifty steps away, don't move forward..."
Wang Lin's personal companion held the white flag and rode his horse without daring to move. Fifty steps across the street was a river of light composed of torches and horse lanterns. There were thousands of troops in a shady shadow?
The lights were dazzling, and the person who followed him could not see clearly the faces on the opposite side, but the sound of the bolt pulling and the sound of the bayonet and the equipment colliding was clearly heard.
The army gathered together naturally with murderous aura. This person in charge felt that his waist tight and his crotch was a little cold!
At this moment, someone in the Huai Army shouted, "Why are there people riding horses carrying rifles? Damn, didn't you tell me that you were not allowed to lead the troops by? Who asked you to lead the troops?"
"June! Jun Ye! Jun Ye heard me, Jun Ye heard me... He was not a soldier, he was all the yamen runners who maintained public order!"
"You old Mingjian, these tens of thousands of people are harvesting food, and no one cares about it, are you worried? Someone steals and some robs, and if there are still people who escape, they will be delayed by military information, it will be a loss of their heads!"
"Haha, especially you can't delay the food and grass of all the soldiers in Handan City... They are all new grains from last year, the best wheat, so I dare not add any fakes to the soldiers!"
Listening to Chang Sui's explanation, the tension in the military formation decreased a few times, and some muzzles were slowly lowered. The officers discussed, "Let's go! Remember, as long as there is someone in military uniform, we will shoot!"
"I understand, I understand Jun Ye, I guarantee that no one in military uniform is allowed. Don't worry..."
"Walk forward, at dawn, unload grain at the forage yard west of Yongnian County, no less than 200,000 stones. When it is dark tomorrow, you must leave Handan and enter Xingtai..."
"Yes, yes, we urge these untouchables to pull the carts quickly and ensure that they all pass through the border tomorrow evening..."
After negotiation between the two sides, the army blocking the road finally began to loosen. The civilians who had been frightened for a long time waved their whip and continued to move forward!
During the Qing Dynasty, the border between Zhili and Henan was not exactly the same as that in later generations. For example, Changyuan, Dongming, Nanle and other places were all under the rule of Zhili at this time.
Handan belongs to the capital of Guangping Prefecture. It is a narrow and long prefecture, not wide from north to south. After entering Henan, you can basically leave Handan and enter Xingtai territory, which is Shunde Prefecture.
During the Qing Dynasty, Xingtai was the capital of Shunde Prefecture.
One day and one night is the time it takes for a grain truck full of food to consume. If the empty truck passes through the border for one day, it will be almost done!
Wang Lin knew that time was tight, and they and Li Hongzhang were all dealing secretly. Although the villages in Handan were empty due to famine and war, there were still surviving people in the larger towns.
As long as there are people, they are gossiping. It is better to have less than more things. It is better to pass through the border as soon as possible!
"Let's go... I unload the food in Yongnian County at dawn. I must enter Shunde Prefecture when it gets dark. Once I enter Shunde Prefecture, my Majesty's army will be taken over. At that time, our mission will be completed!"
"Damn it, whoever falls behind, just suck me... and pull it to death!"
Those who maintain order are carefully selected old yamen runners and Wang's tyrants. With the support of the Japanese Sixth, Wang Mian is simply a domineering king in Henan, with thousands of thugs under his command, and wearing military uniforms can be considered a warlord.
These people only followed the orders of the Wang family and received the orders of the eldest son. They were so cruel that they could walk slowly. Even those who accidentally fell on the road would whip them, and they rolled all over the ground in pain!
The Huai Army on both sides of the post road followed slowly a hundred steps away. On the one hand, it was to monitor, and on the other hand, it was to isolate the contact between these grain transport teams and the people of Guangping Prefecture.
There was nothing to say all night. Under the urging of the whip, the vanguard of the grain transport team finally arrived in Yongnian County at dawn. The grain transport team did not dare to enter the city and began to unload grain in the large forage farm west of the city.
The huge sacks were filled with newly harvested wheat last year, and the people were reluctant to eat good food. Without this civil war, these foods would have to be transported northward to the court through the Grand Canal or railway.
After arriving in the capital, it became a hardcore crop shared by the nobles of the Eight Banners. It was the favorite fried noodles in summer!
But today, the people in the capital have no good fortune. All of these have to be sent to the rebels of the Japanese Sixth Army to become supplies for the rebels to attack the capital.
As long as there are too many people, 200,000 stones of grain are still easy to unload. After unloading the goods, the grain transport team simply ate dry food in the wild for breakfast. Soon after 8 o'clock, the grain transport team prepared to set off again.
According to Wang Lin's wishes, the grain transport teams who had unloaded 200,000 grains should go back to the mansion and go south to Henan, but at this time he met someone.
"Hey? Master Qin... You are auspicious. You have always been sending messages from your subordinates, but I haven't seen each other for a long time!"
Mr. Qin, who was dealing with Li Hongzhang, actually came to Yongnian County to meet Wang Lin!
"Hahaha... The eldest young master of the Wang family, it's been a long time since we saw each other! Last year, we were still having flower wine in the capital. You are young and powerful. You found five in one night. I really envy my brother!"
Wang Lin was not ashamed but proud, and raised his head and said, "Nothing is the case, it's just five. Next time I go to the capital, I will let you see the true majesty!"
"That's natural! The eldest son of the Wang family, that's a great man who can even Sai Shishi take away! In fact, by doing this, this little foolish king can be considered a slander for you?"
Hahahaha... the two suddenly burst into laughter. The more lewd it is, the more lewd it is.
Wang Lin nodded constantly when he recalled the taste of Sai Shishi, "Beautiful, wonderful... When His Majesty entered the capital and overthrew the foolish monarch, I still wanted to taste it again..."
"No problem... I will do it for you! After the capital is captured, you and I will be part of the liquidation army. Whenever the direct descendants of the foolish monarchs enter the capital, they will be searched!"
"You can grab the house you like, take the gold and silver you like, and you can take the woman you like, just go to the woman you like... A Shishishi is nothing, brother, don't worry..."
The two of them chatted for a long time, but soon they got to the point again. Mr. Qin said, "Don't leave these empty-cared civilians, follow them to Shunde Mansion, and have secret tasks to use them!"
"Oh? Are there still goods to be transported? Well, I'll order it now..." Wang Lin didn't know what the situation was, but he was just a few thousand empty carts. The untouchables and a group of untouchables had to go wherever they asked them to work.
After the yamen runners got the order, they quickly drove away the civilians who were resting in empty cars and asked them to continue to go north. The people did not dare to argue with these wolves and tigers, and could only force themselves to continue to go north.
When Wang Lin left the forage farm, he looked back at the food and sighed, "It's better to have a gun in this chaotic world. It's 20% of the time to do nothing. Then we have to recognize his favor!"
"If you have a gun, you will be the King of Grass Head... Damn, I will force my father to buy more guns and ammunition when I look back!"
