1087 Xuzhou got it
If Qi Qitao was surprisingly smooth, then Fan Hualong would be very unsuccessful in Xuzhou, Jiangsu!
Because Jiangsu has always had a lot of people and many scholars, the guards there are basically the children of various major families. Fan Hualong's sudden appearance in Xuzhou was as incredible as a wild dog trying to rush into the homes of a group of guardian dogs. So he was excluded by everyone from all over the country.
When Fan Hualong arrived in Xuzhou, the original general officer didn't even see him, so he threw the seal into the yamen and disappeared. Only a gatekeeper was left to guard the seal.
When Fan Hualong took the seal to inspect the site, he found that there was no one in the military camp! This was the only good thing Fan Hualong met. Anyway, Fan Hualong was not ready to use the original old, weak, sick and disabled, and sooner or later, the weak would be eliminated and the strong would be retained.
After that, he found that things had become a mess! There was nothing in the arsenal in the military camp. The grain warehouse was even clean and hungry. However, Fan Hualong still thought the other party was pretty good, at least he left a camp for them.
However, Fan Hualong obviously underestimated the other party. Soon he found that all the locals avoided them, as if they were watching them like monsters. In short, they were isolated by the locals.
At the beginning, Fan Hualong didn't want to do anything. He silently brought the soldiers into the camp, cleared the debris and dust, and made the barracks look like a barracks.
But everyone knows that people always bully the weak and fear the strong! Especially when they feel that they have many people!
At first, the people in Xuzhou just surrounded them from afar and did not contact them. When they found that these Shandong soldiers were quite honest, things happened.
First, their onlookers began to get closer and closer. From the initial silent mockery, the sound changed from low to loud. Then slowly, mockery turned into insults and accusations. The local ruffians initially just wanted to find some fun with the soldiers who were out, but found that these Shandong soldiers just turned around and left silently, so everyone wanted to find some cheaper from these Shandong soldiers!
Then more things happened
Single and even a few soldiers who went out of the camp were extorted by villagers to tease and thugs! And the number of iQs is increasing!
The most disgusting thing is that when they went to buy food, they were told that the price of the food had increased, and the price increase was not low! Even the prices of vegetables and side dishes were maliciously raised!
Fan Hualong sent someone to tell the local government about these matters. The local government not only did not help, but also warned them not to seek trouble in the local area.
Fan Hualong first ordered the soldiers to endure it again and again, and also reported all this to Liu Pei. Because everything that happened in front of him was different from what they expected, Fan Hualong needed Liu Pei to make another direction.
When Liu Pei received the report, he laughed a little. He really didn't understand what these people were thinking? Do they think this thing could make the army surrender? Do they regard their army as the Ming soldiers who were eating their meals? You know, the army is the largest violent institution in the world!
So Liu Pei picked up the pen and replied to Fan Hualong a letter, which read: "You can do whatever the soldier and gangster do! As long as you don't get evidence, it's okay to kill someone!"
Fan Hualong, who received the news, immediately understood it! As an old military leader, if he didn't know how the military gangster did things, it would be a joke!
On the day when Fan Hualong received the letter, he sent an officer and led hundreds of people to rush into the city in a carriage. He rushed to the grain store with the most steep price increase. He said that from the shopkeeper to the servant, they all fell to the ground and tied up. Then all the grain in the store was loaded and transported away.
Finally, the officer stuffed a bag of silver into the boss's arms in front of everyone, then dipped the shopkeeper's fingers into the blood flowing out of his nose, pressed his handprint on a delivery document, and then left with a swagger.
The yamen runners who had already received the news came to witness the whole process. They even saw the stuffing of silver but did not dare to get close to them. How could those dozens of Ming servants be able to defeat the army of hundreds of people? So they watched the soldiers transport the food away. At this time, the people in Jinan City remembered that they resisted and teased an army!
That grain shop
There are also people behind it. The real owner was a local gentry surnamed Li, with wealth in his family and a lot of reputation in the local area. He initiated the boycott of Shandong troops. Because even his relatives of the former Xuzhou general sold private salt and had a lot of firepower on this route! As a result, a transfer order from the court made him cut off his wealth, so this was the worst strategy.
After the food of the gentry surnamed Li was forcibly bought by the officer, he directly reported the matter to the prefect. In fact, the prefect was not willing to participate in it. This was obviously because the local gentry did not want to lose a piece of power, wanted to force the team to leave, and wanted to regain power.
But the local civil servants are all vain officials. They will be here for three years this year, and I don’t know where to go in the next three years? But they cannot offend the local gentry, so they will not be able to suffer in the future, so they have to send someone to invite Fan Hualong.
As a result, Fan Hualong brought his men to the yamen with full arms. After both parties asked, Fan Hualong directly took out a contract with handprints and said that he would give the money and eat the food. Fan Hualong also said that we would buy the food by ourselves if the food and money you provided was insufficient! If you didn't let me buy the food, the yamen would have to supply enough food and pay, and then they simply left the yamen.
However, Liu Xiang, who was pulled down from above, was peeling layers of skin, and the prefect was all in it, so how could it be paid in full? Besides, Fan Hualong gave the money again, so the yamen could only let Fan Hualong leave.
After this incident, Fan Hualong thought that the matter would not be a big deal anymore. However, he didn't know that the local gentry felt that he had lost face, and instead became more and more serious. You should know that the local business was controlled by the gentry, and they agreed to start boycotting Fan Hualong and didn't even sell him salt!
This made Fan Hualong furious! So a group of robbers appeared outside Xuzhou City, specifically robbing a convoy that transported food to Xuzhou City!
The most ridiculous thing is that this group of robbers were wearing a full set of Ming army-style clothes, and just covering a piece of cloth on their faces was considered to be a concealer! But everyone knew that they were the team from Shandong.
Chapter completed!
