Chapter 29: Preparation

Xiao Yan thought to himself, "This is a big deal. Don't steal chickens and turn the rice.

At this time, Xiaoqi also came back, and all the officials of Jiankang are here now. Looking at these goods in front of us, can they sincerely guard Jiankang City, but they have a handle in their hands, and no one dares to leave. If they have pulled away, they may have oiled the soles of their feet. What about the more than 200,000 people in Jiankang City? This time, the golden dog lost so many people and supplies, once it was broken. The city is not crazy revenge. It will definitely slaughter the city. Then the death of these people is equivalent to the indirect death of Xiao Yan. Xiaoqi and Ding Sheng have persuaded him several times how much things he can bring. Before leaving, dissipate the news that the golden man wants to fight Jiankang. If you are willing to escape, you can escape. If you don't want to leave, there't do anything we There is no obligation to defend the city for the court.

Xiao Yan now feels that his brain is not enough. He just wants Brother Yang to be here. He is thinking nonsense. Xiaoqi came over and said gently, "Master Wang and Mr. Wang are here."

Xiao Yan looked at the two of them and said why they came. He turned his head and saw that Xiaoqi knew that he had sent someone to persuade him. He couldn't help sighing and said, "Uncle Wang, you are also here to persuade me to leave."

Wang Yuangui shook his head and said, "On the contrary, we advise you to stay here." Manager Wang, you." Xiaoqi and Ding Sheng said at the same time. Wang Yuancheng waved his hand to ask Wang Yuangui to finish his words. Shopkeeper Wang, are you persuading me to stay? Xiao Yan asked unexpectedly.

"Exact. Wang Yuancheng replied, "If the golden people break the city, hundreds of thousands of people in this city will not be guaranteed. Since the owner took office, isn't it known as expelling the gold capt and defending the country? This is the right time to fulfill the promise. Why do you want to leave?

"Shopkeeper Wang is right, but you also know, can we stop Jin Bing and keep his health?" Ding Sheng interrupted when he heard this. Wang Yuangui, who has done something and has not done anything, said so much. As for whether to leave or stay, it is at the order of the owner of the village. After saying that, Wang Yuancheng stood still with his eyes, nose and nose.

"Okay, a man does something and doesn't do anything, okay!" Yang Zaixing couldn't hold back his standing there for a long time. After listening to Wang Yuancheng's words, he shouted, "Brother Xiao, live a lifetime, stand up to the sky, and don't be a bastard."

Xiao Yan didn't say anything, and Xiaoqi couldn't stand it and quarreled with Yang Zaixing: "Who is a bastard, but we have no obligation to guard Jiankang for the court. Besides, there are so many court officials here, it's our turn."

"Run away when you see the golden man. This is not a cog." Yang Zaixing retorted.

The more Xiaoqi listened, the more angry he became: "If I am a bastard, who killed this golden dog of Jiankangcheng? Who saved your gang?" Hearing this, Yang Zaixing couldn't say it, but he was still unconvinced: "I have the ability to fight with Jinren."

Xiaoqi still wants to say. Xiao Yan looked at the people in the hall staring at the two quarreling, and didn't know what they were thinking. Originally, Xiao Yan didn't plan to leave. He just wanted to see the attitude of these officials. Seeing that the quarrel between the two was not over, he waved his hand and stopped them and said, "Lu Fuyin, what do you think you want to do?"

Lu Fuyin pondered for a while, as if he was thinking about it carefully before slowly saying, "All the soldiers and civilians of Jiankang are only the head of Xiaozhai."

Lu Chen thought to himself, "If you leave, then you don't know why we are going. If you don't leave, I will be credited by the Yin of Jiankang Mansion or mine. If the Jin people occupy health, then I will organize the people to resist the Jin people. This is also glorious. Even if there is no success, at least not!"

Thinking of this and looking at Xiao Yan. Slippery, it's beautiful to think. After a secret scolding, Xiao Yan coughed gently to attract everyone's attention and said, "Since Lord Lu has entrusted all the affairs of Jiankang to me, I will say a few words to you." He said to himself, "Aren't you playing tricks, then I'll pretend to be confused."

Hearing this, Lu Chen said anxiously, "When did you say that all the affairs will be handed over to you? That's not that we have to listen to you. We couldn't help coughing with a dry cough, but obviously he was playing tricks and couldn't say it, so he had to be dumb and eating Huanglian."

Xiao Yan pretended not to see Lu Chen's anxious face. The law of the Song Dynasty stipulates that only the imperial court has the right to designate the power of a government and a county, and the following private authorization is to judge the outflow. No wonder Lu Chen is anxious. However, the following sentence almost made him faint.

"This name is not right. Since Lord Lu has said something, please ask Lord Lu to print and issue a document. I, Xiao Yan, will be in charge of all the affairs during the health period of Jin Bing's invasion. Is this Lord Lu okay?" Xiao Yan is one step closer. Aren't you playing tricks? Then I have to tell you that you can't run away.

Lu Chen's cough is worse, but it's really urgent. His face turned red and he clearly printed it in your hand and asked me to say it myself. Is this obviously to drag me into your thief ship? But there is nothing we can do. If we don't agree to this form, it may be clicked on the spot, and we will also carry a charge of treason. We have a deep understanding of Lu Chen's reversal of Xiao Yan's face.

So he calmed down and said, "Lord Xiaozhai, I am eager for justice and righteousness, for the country and the people, and willing to share joys and sorrows with the people of Jiankang. I, Lu, thanked Master Xiao Zhai on behalf of all the officials and civilians of Jiankang. At the same time, I think these are also the meanings of all our healthy colleagues. Obviously, it's insincere and it's like a long drought and a rain. At the same time, not everyone brings a word, so you can't watch the fun on the shore.

Xiao Yan knew what Lu Chen meant, but he didn't say anything. He quietly waited for Lu Chen to finish speaking.

"We decided to hand over all matters to the owner of Xiao Yan and Xiaozhai during the health period of the golden dog invasion. I will immediately inform the whole city with the seal, and others will listen to the instructions of the owner of Xiaozhai."

"I understand people." He sighed in his heart, but his face was still awe-inspiring, saying, "Lord Lu is well-righteous and unconventional. In the future, he will repatriate the gold man. This contribution belongs to Lord Lu and all the people sitting here!" Who can't write an empty check! In the future, these guys will not pull back their legs.

Now that the situation is critical, I will no longer be polite to you. Xiao Yan continued: "Lord Lu, you immediately arrange people to post a notice in the whole city. Jin people will soon invade Jiankang again. Anyone between the ages of 17 and 35 will voluntarily report to Zhuquemen tomorrow to organize them to resist the golden dog and defend their homes. Each participant weighs five liters a day, regardless of whether men, women or young they are in the family. Two liters of grain per person, 35 to 45 people who volunteer to participate in the civilian team are divided into three liters of grain per person per day, one liter per family, and the rest of the elderly, young, sick and disabled can only go to the porridge factory to get porridge twice a day.

After listening to Xiao Yan's words, Lu Chen agreed to lead several people out.

"Yang Zaixing, temporarily ordered you to be the military governor and lead all the military officials of Jiankang to be responsible for the recruitment and training of new recruits. Each recruit must go through half a month of training before issuing equipment to participate in the defense of the city. Xiao Yan said.

Yang Zaixing knew the difference between the rabble and the well-trained general. Although it was a little reluctant for half a month, there was no time for the situation. Yang Zaixing promised to greet several people out.

Who will lead the people, who will be responsible for the public security patrol in the city, who will be responsible for the supply of food and grass, who will be responsible for the treatment of the wounded and other basic affairs. After seeing that there were only Xiaoqi Ding Sheng left, the Wang brothers said, "Although we want to stay in Jiankang, we can't come here for nothing. Uncle Ding immediately organized all of us to The ships gathered to select some weapons and armor from the treasury and returned to Dongting overnight with 500 people.

Ding Sheng was unwilling to hear that he was asked to go back at this time. After the persuasion of the crowd, he reluctantly agreed, but later he said that as soon as he arrived at the cave, he unloaded the supplies and rushed back immediately. Xiao Yan agreed with a smile.

Then arrange for Xiaoqi to lead the rest of the people to be responsible for patrol and defense outside the city. After the two left, Xiao Yan said to Wang Yuangui, "Shopkeeper Wang, there are many healthy horses left by the Jin people in Jiankang City. I don't know if there is any place to hide for the time being. This is a treasure." Wang Yuangui said, "Zhongshan in the southeast is fine. Although the mountain is not high, the terrain is steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Where can you hide? In case Jiankang can't defend the village owner, you can also retreat first and defend it."

After hearing this, Xiao Yan nodded and told Wang Yuangui to take someone to do it tonight, and then asked, "Why did the shopkeeper Wang persuade Xiao Yan to stay here?"

"This is what the two of us discussed on the road after hearing Xiaoqi's people call us. This time, it is very risky to help the court defend Jiankang, but in fact, it can also be said that there is no risk. This is a great movement. Whether it is the court or the people, who doesn't know whether it is winning or losing, who doesn't know who is the big Name, if we want to develop the cottage, as long as the owner of the village climbs high and there are not a lot of followers, our water village will become a banner of the civil anti-Jin Rebel Army. Even if the court wants to be unfavorable to our cottage in the future, it should also consider the public indignation of the people. Wang Yuancheng Road.

"Also, we are here to guard Jiankang for the court. Those people in Lin'an can't pretend not to know." Wang Yuangui said, "Marshal Yue and South Korean Marshal, who conquered the six counties of Xiangyang, are a tiger lying at the door for the Jin people, and may go north at any time. Although the Jin people are eyeing Jiankang, they can't ignore the two marshals Yue Han. As long as we can survive several attacks of the Jin people, the recruits trained by General Yang can go to battle. If the court shoot some more navy reinforcements, Jiankang is still hopeful.

Xiao Yan nodded and said, "That's right. Since we have launched the banner of the Rebel Army, we can't leave now anyway." Speaking of this, Xiao Yan said to Wang Yuancheng, "Turn all the intelligence systems we have established during this period to inquire about the movements of the Jin people and the court. In addition, tonight, we can organize some people to deliver supplies and grain to Stone City, which can last for at least three months. The shopkeeper Wang mobilized everyone to closely monitor the movement in the city to prevent the golden people from spying. We are serious with the Golden Man this time.

After the two left, only Xiao Yan looked at the sky outside and muttered, "I just hope the golden dog can give me a few more days."
