A cluster of tender green grass buds sprouted out of the soil on both sides of the Wishui River. Lin Fu had no intention of lingering on the new greenery in the northern land. After saying goodbye to Lin Mengde and Tang Haoxin in a hurry, he headed to camp on the south bank.
rush.
Sun Wenbing's injury was not serious. Lin Fu and Lin Mengde rushed back, and the army doctor was treating him.
"I suffered an arrow wound on my shoulder. The wound was not deep. It was simply treated on the way here. There was a lot of blood loss and the wound was somewhat ulcerated. So I cut out the rotten flesh and applied medicine for him to avoid future troubles," Sui Jun said.
The doctor told Lin Fu about Sun Wenbing's injury, "In addition, it was excessive physical exertion that caused the fainting."
Lin Fu frowned slightly and looked at Sun Wenbing, who was lying on the wooden frame bed without knowing anyone. He still couldn't find out what happened in Shandong from him, so he asked Cao Zi'ang: "Who escorted Sun Wenbing back? What happened in Shandong?"
"There were two other followers who rushed back with them. They waded through the water with their fast horses and traveled more than 500 miles in a day and a night. When they arrived in Cangnan, several horses ran to death in the middle of the road. It was the Sun family of Cangnan who sent people to escort them.
They came over. Two of the retinues were in the next room. One was seriously injured and unconscious, while the other was in slightly better condition and was still conscious. He was asking the doctor to treat them, but he didn't have time to ask questions..."
"Please watch here and make sure no accidents happen." Lin Fu gently pressed his hand on the shoulder of the military doctor and solemnly warned him, asking Cao Ziang to take him and Lin Meng to the next door to meet Sun Wenbing who was coming over.
Two retinues.
Sun Wenbing had no serious injuries except for an arrow wound on his shoulder. However, the two subordinates who followed Sun Wenbing back to Jinhai seemed to have escaped from a bloody battle. Their clothes and armor were covered in blood, and one of them was unconscious.
Another short young man with a dark face was sitting on the edge of the bed, seemingly refusing to be treated by the doctor.
When the dark-faced short young man saw Lin Fu and others walking in, he got out of bed, knelt in front of the bed, and said, "Please save my father and the children of Xihehui..."
"What on earth is going on? You stand up and say it." Lin Fu stretched out his hand to help the young man and asked him to stand up and speak. However, his tentacles felt that the skin under the clothes was delicate and soft, not like the strong skin of a martial arts man. He was slightly startled, and then
Seeing that his appearance was somewhat familiar, he asked in surprise, "Who are you?"
"Ah, it's Miss Sun," Lin Mengde, who entered the house behind Lin Fu, recognized Sun Wenwan and shouted in surprise, "What happened to the Xihe Society? Why do you all look like this?"
"Manager Lin, it's me," Sun Wenwan no longer had the strength to support her body, but slumped limply in Lin Fu's arms, "My father and more than a thousand children of Xihehui were regarded as rebels and were arrested and imprisoned by the Shandong County Sheriff.
, This is a huge injustice. I beg you to uphold justice for the Xihe Society and not let my father and the children of the Xihe Society die in vain in Shandong - Wen Wan is willing to be your slave and maid!"
Lin Fu naturally recognized Sun Wenwan at this time. Her face was deliberately covered with a layer of charcoal powder. She looked dark and had some bumps, which covered her beautiful face. Leng Buding thought she was a short young man with an ordinary appearance.
I didn't know what happened to Xihehui, so I carefully held her on the bed and said, "Don't say such crazy things. What happened? Sun Hui and the Xihehui disciples were taking the grain to Jimo, Shandong."
Well, how could he be unjustly accused of being a rebel by the Shandong County Sheriff?"
Sun Wenwan was breathing rapidly, her chest was rising and falling violently, and it was difficult to speak. Lin Fu saw that there was blood oozing out from the outside of her chest. When he came in, he saw that she refused to be treated by the doctor, and thought that maybe the injury was caused by the girl's inability to treat her.
In the place open to outsiders, he said to Sun Wenwan, "A doctor is performing a sage deed by rescuing the wounded and rescuing the dying. You must no longer avoid the suspicion of men and women, and you must not miss the chance of receiving medical treatment!"
"The life and death of Wenwan is a small matter, but the lives of the thousands of disciples of the Xihe Society and the Zhuhe Gang are a big matter. I hope you will have mercy on me. If Wenwan dies, he will be your slave as a maid in the next life..." Sun Wenwan said weakly, refusing.
The doctor treated her.
Lin Fu frowned slightly and said: "Your second brother has made great contributions to Jiangdong Zuoying, so if you don't give me a slave as a maid, is it possible that I will still ignore the affairs of Xihehui?" He turned around and ordered the doctor in charge,
"You come here to treat her injuries first and save her life. Don't delay asking questions for a moment..."
"It would be better for you to treat Miss Sun yourself." Lin Mengde stood behind and said.
At this time, Sun Wenwan closed her eyes and no longer objected, but said feebly: "Wenwan is willing to be your slave and maid, and I will do whatever you ask me!"
Lin Fu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This damn girl was still stubborn about these things when she was about to die. He had no choice but to order people to carefully move the unconscious retinue to another room. He cleared this room and asked people to find two more.
A woman with quick hands and feet came over to help.
Lin Fu untied Sun Wenwan's blood-stained clothes and applied charcoal powder on her face. She was as dark as an ordinary young man, but the skin from the neck down was extremely white. Against the backdrop of the bright red blood, she looked like the first snow under the new winter sun.
A white cloth was wrapped tightly around her chest so that her huge breasts would not look obvious under her clothes.
Sun Wenwan clenched her teeth to hold on and did not faint. She just closed her eyes and did not look at Lin Fu. Lin Fu's fingers touched her skin, and she restrained herself from moving.
Lin Fu saw that there was a cut on her right chest, and the blood that seeped out almost dyed the white cloth wrapped around her chest. Under this situation, Lin Fu couldn't have any fragrant thoughts, so he used scissors to cut off the white cloth wrapped around her chest.
He carefully cut open the white cloth, and found that Sun Wenwan's breasts were still quite good, like two large upside-down jade cups, standing up straight. He wiped off the blood on the breasts with a clean cloth soaked in warm water, and found a patch of blood on the inside of her left chest.
For a deep wound, clean it carefully and then wrap it with medicine.
At this time, the two women took off Sun Wenwan's obscene pants. The inner thighs, which were originally extremely white, were worn in many places, and the blood stains were bright red. It looked distressing, and they were carefully treated with medicine.
Sun Wenwan had to wear particularly loose clothes to help the wound heal. She was tall among women. Lin Fu asked someone to bring his clothes and pants for Sun Wenwan to put on, and watched the serving woman feed her.
After drinking ginseng soup, he asked her about the details of the accident in Xihe.
The charcoal powder covering Sun Wenwan's face was washed away, revealing her beautiful and green face. She was lying on the bed, her cheeks were pale due to blood loss, and her eyes had no sparkle, but she had a stronger personality than before.
Even though she is a bit stubborn, it is easier for people to feel pity for her at this time.
Because Sun Wenwan was wearing Lin Fu's clothes, which were very loose and exposed a lot of skin, Lin Mengde and Cao Ziang sat aside to avoid suspicion, while Lin Fu sat casually in front of Sun Wenwan's bed and asked her for details. Sun Wenbing was still there.
Didn't wake up.
"It's not that our Xihehui family was framed as rebels by the Shandong County Secretary," Sun Wenwan said feebly, using her last ounce of willpower not to let herself pass out, "In mid-February, Jiangdong received a special order to supervise grain, Xihehui and Jiangning
The other sixteen river gangs immediately followed the order and shipped 360,000 tons of grain to the north. The river gangs in Weiyang, Pingjiang, Hailing and other prefectures and counties were a little later. When they arrived in Suyu, they learned that the Yellow River burst its banks and Pingyuan Prefecture
The Cao Canal Road within the territory was no longer passable. All the canal ships were parked south of Suyu, waiting for news. Until the end of February, the imperial court directly sent important officials to Suyu to supervise the grain. Except for some of the canal grain, it continued northward to help Jinan, Pingyuan and other counties.
In addition, about 600,000 tons of grain from the Xihehui and other riverside canal ships were required to be transported from the Huaihe River mouth to Jimo, Shandong Province, and other canal transport ships were parked in the river south of Suyu..."
Lin Fu was aware of this situation.
The bursting of the Yellow River's banks and the damage to Pingyuan's river channels cannot be solved in a day or two. It is not surprising that it would drag on for a year and a half. That's why they urgently built large warehouses in Jinhai to transport grain from Shandong to Denglai.
Areas are concentrated, and then the grain is transported from Denglai to Jinhai storage warehouses. The eastern part of Shandong is hilly and the grain production is limited. It can only meet the storage needs of Jinhai in a short time. A larger amount of grain must be replenished from other places.
The Hubu’s idea is that since there are a large number of canal ships filled with grain that are blocked in the Suyu area and cannot go north, it is better to send these canal ships directly to the sea from the mouth of the Huaihe River and transport the grain to Shandong along the offshore route where the storm is slightly calmer.
Jimo at the southern tip of the peninsula is on standby.
From Jiaozhou Bay, where Jimo County is located on the south coast of the Shandong Peninsula, to Laizhou Bay on the north coast, the narrowest land route is only more than 200 miles, not to mention that there is a Jiaolai River that runs through the Shandong Peninsula to connect the two places. As long as Jimo can gather
Once enough grain is obtained, it will be much more convenient to transport the grain to the Laizhou Bay area in the north.
"Is it possible that all the river gangs are boycotting the ships going to sea?" Lin Fu asked doubtfully, "It was early March when the Ministry of Household Affairs sent personnel to Suyu to supervise the grain supply. How could it be possible that no further news has come back until today?"
When a river boat sails on the sea, even if it sails close to the coastline, the risk is still very high. It is natural that the river gang will resist the decision of Tobe, but it is not like there is no news and the conflict will intensify to the level of rebellion.
"When the world is in trouble, every man has his own responsibility. The children of the Xihe Society and the Zhuhe Gang are not afraid of difficulties. Even if there are certain risks in going to sea rashly, my father decided to go to sea after discussing with the leaders of the Zhuhe Gang. Although
Many ships were sunk, but in the end, nearly 600,000 stones of grain were successfully transported to Jimo." Sun Wenwan covered her chest, wanting to cough without affecting the wound, she just tried her best to hold it back, and told Lin Fu the whole story of Xihe's shocking turn of events.
Listen, "After everyone arrived in Jimo, the imperial envoy for the grain supervision met with the grain supervision officials sent by the Shandong County Secretary, and then changed the order, asking the Xihe Hui and other river gangs to directly sail the canal boats into the Jiao Lai River and transport the grain to
Denglai and other places on the northeast coast of Shandong..."
"Ah," Lin Mengde sighed on the side, knowing what the problem was, and said, "I went to Shandong to pledge goods two years ago, and I know that the situation of the Jiao Lai River is worse than that of the Woshui River. The river course
It is shallow and there is insufficient water from the upstream. Most of the water boats in Xihehui are 200 shi and carry 400 shi. If you go along the Jiaolai River, there is a high chance that it will be blocked."
"What Manager Lin said is absolutely true. We arrived in Jimo on March 11th, and the order from the Shandong County Secretary came down on the 12th. Neither the Xihe Club nor the Zhuhe Gang knew the water conditions of the Jiaolai River, so my father discussed with the Zhuhe Gang
It would be safer to send people and ships to test the deep water conditions first, so as not to miss the important task of transporting grain. The Zhuhe Gang also specially sent their father to tell the grain supervisory officials of Shandong County and the Ministry of Household Affairs about this. But the grain supervisory officials thought that my father was taking the lead.
I made things difficult for the officials, so my father was reprimanded in Jimo. If someone hadn't interceded, my father would have been arrested and imprisoned in Jimo. The grain supervisory officials urged us hastily, blaming us for deliberately delaying, so we had no choice but to fight with
The other river gangs first gathered the canoes with a load of less than 200 stone and went ahead and entered the Jiaolai River rashly. As soon as they entered the hinterland of the Shandong Peninsula and the territory of Changyi County, the bottom of the canal was firmly pressed against the soft mud of the river bed.
The inability to advance or retreat also caused all the ships behind to be blocked tightly. The officials from the Shandong County Division and the Ministry of Household Grain Supervision thought that we were deliberately making things difficult.
More than ten boatmen were arrested, tied to the shore, and beheaded in public display... These people died so tragically that the Zhuhe Gang was in an uproar. Thousands of people surrounded the grain supervisors and soldiers to seek an explanation for Qu's dead congregation. At that time,
The scene was extremely chaotic and difficult to control. People were so angry that they first threw more than a dozen grain supervisory officials into the river and injured dozens of transport soldiers. My father tried his best to persuade both sides and asked everyone to look at Yan.
Regarding the overall situation of Beijing's grain shortage, they temporarily calmed down the disputes, persuaded the Zhuhe gang to disperse, let go of the grain supervisory officials and transporters, and waited for the court to send other officials to coordinate and deal with many things. Who would have thought that the Shandong County Sheriff would transfer a team of people from various places that night?
More than 10,000 garrison troops have surrounded the disciples of the Xihe Society and the Zhuhe Gang, and they must be treated as rebels and annihilated..."
