Chapter 2031: Guizi Juan left Beijing for Shaanxi, kil

  Chapter 2031 Guizi Juan leaves Beijing for Shaanxi, killing every step of the way

  Feng Ziying naturally understands that her journey to Shaanxi will not be smooth. Countless people want their own lives, especially the Bailian Sect.

  After the assassination at Guhe Ferry, he knew that there was no way for him and the White Lotus Sect to be kind, either he died or they died.

  In addition, Nan Bian'er's attitude towards himself is also hard to say.

  Papa attacked the city and cut down land in Shandong, forcing Niu Jizong and Sun Shaozu to retreat steadily, becoming a serious problem for Nanjing.

  I made suggestions for the imperial court, especially building Yuguan and Dagu into the core ports of sea trade between the north and the south, so that grains from Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, and even Jiangsu and Zhejiang were continuously transported to the north, and even replaced water transportation.

   This not only made Nanjing really angry and hated, but also made countless people along the canal who rely on water transportation for a living grit their teeth and despair.

  No one expected that the North-South War would create an opportunity for water transport routes to be replaced by sea transport.

Although it seems that the cost of sea transportation is higher than that of water transportation, as sea ships get bigger and bigger, the routes become more and more familiar, and the ports along the route become more and more dense, which makes the materials transported more and more abundant. The rapid rise of coal, iron and steel, military industry, and cement industries led by Suncheon and Yongping has changed the previous situation where cargoes were piled up from south to north, and almost empty from north to south.

  Iron materials, ironware, cement, and coal have become important southbound materials, and because these materials are large-scale consumables, almost every ship in the southbound ship is fully packed, and there is no longer the empty situation in the past.

   This is the most welcome thing for ship companies and ship merchants, and it has also led to a large increase in the number of ship merchants, and the business of shipbuilding workshops has become more prosperous.

There are those who benefit, and naturally there are also those who lose. Many people along the canal feel a bit chilly. These people are also cursing Feng Ziying, the instigator, and even the largest river and lake gang that used to rely on water transportation for a living. help.

   There are more than 100,000 people from the Cao Gang's children and their relatives. They are the most important force along the canal in Shandong and Nanzhi.

Now, on the one hand, they are actively helping the imperial court to recover Shandong as soon as possible, and calm Jiangnan, so that the old prosperity can be reappeared, but some people realize that they may never go back to the past, so they also mentioned in the letter to Feng Ziying, Many members of the Cao Gang resented Feng Ziying very much, and it is hard to say whether any extremes among them would do anything out of the ordinary.

  Shaanxi may not welcome the governor himself into Shaanxi.

Whether it is in the officialdom or at the local level, there must have been a lot of messy things that have been going on in the past few years. As the governor, one is the right servant of the Ministry of War, and the other is the right censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. It means that you can check anything in the officialdom in Shaanxi, which means that countless people don't want to see themselves in Shaanxi.

  Feng Ziying knew very well that as soon as he left Beijing, he would attract the attention of countless people, so he once thought about whether to come to Shanxi in a bluff and split into two or three routes, but after careful consideration, he gave up.

  On the one hand, one's whereabouts are too easily exposed, and it is difficult to avoid the attention of interested people, and it is easy for others to deduce the path one wants to take.

  On the other hand, being so sneaky and sneaky made me feel guilty and short of breath before I went to Shaanxi, and I was afraid of tigers and wolves, and I lost my momentum.

   And momentum also represents confidence, which is very important to the veterans in Shaanxi official circles.

  Since he knew that his journey would not be smooth, of course Feng Ziying had to take all precautions. Even if the commotion was a little louder, and he might even be criticized by the outside world, he didn't care.

  The princes of the imperial court are also aware of these situations. It is impossible for them to become the kind of poor people who die in Huangquan on the way to the post.

  Papa also made arrangements. Dozens of family soldiers arrived early on. These are actually the soldiers from Papa who moved to Datong and the Northwest, led by Feng You, who wanted to keep himself from entering Shaanxi.

In addition, it is the result of Wu Yaoqing's painstaking efforts in the past two years. Many of the Jianghu masters selected from the north and south have already trained in the third squad of the Shuntian government office. This time, many people are willing to fight for wealth when they go to Shaanxi. , this group of people is also the main force.

   These two groups of people have to accompany me all the way to Datong, and then recruit some people in Datong, so that I can form my personal army to enter Shaanxi in the future, and 500 people may not be enough.

  The women finally boarded the car, Feng You wandered around, and finally came to Feng Ziying, and whispered: "Brother Keng, it's almost there, we can start."

There are only a few people in this house who can still use the title Keng Geer to call Feng Ziying. Originally, Feng You wanted to change his mouth, but at Feng Ziying's insistence, he changed it to "Keng Geer" when there were only two of them. Brother, when there are many people in a formal occasion, call me an adult.

  More than a dozen carriages rattled along and came out along Fengcheng Hutong.

  Take Fuchengmenxia Street to the north, until you reach Xizhimen, then go out of the city through Xizhimen and go northwest.

Wu Yaoqing has already dispatched more than ten riders, and headed straight for Qinghedian along the post road. He will stay in Qinghedian tonight, and he will go north all the way in the early morning of tomorrow. He will take the Xiaoyu River and cross the Red Bridge. , go north to Yanqingwei, go west to Baiyangkou into Huailaiwei, Feng Ziying wants to take this road to the west.

  If you have family members traveling with you, don't think about driving too fast. In fact, Feng Ziying's business can't speed up unless you drive lightly.

  According to Feng Ziying's presupposition, it is not bad if you can walk fifty or sixty miles along the post road every day.

   Fortunately, this westbound avenue has already been renovated, especially on the line from Huailaiwei to Jingshi City. Cement has first been used on the traffic arteries near Gyeonggi. The Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry have conducted a pilot project on this line.

The Shanshanan businessmen also tried to expand the cement market earlier, so they also lobbied with the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry at the cost price, and finally made the post roads in the northwest line that are more military-used take the lead in renovating those sunny days. , the worst location for a bag of mud on rainy days, also made the section from Huailaiwei to Jingshi City.

  The sky was still bright, and a group of people had already arrived at the Qinghe store.

This is the largest post station outside the capital city from the northwest, and it is also the most important distribution center for supplies. Most of the guests who can't make it to the city in time will rest here, so there are as many as hundreds of inns and hostels, with all kinds of grades and specifications. Theoretically, Feng Ziying should have chosen the Guanfu Station, but Wu Yaoqing did not choose it, but chose another guest house next to the Guanfu Station.

  Feng Ziying trusted Wu Yaoqing's arrangement, and the group went straight into the guest house and settled down.

  Feng You was a little puzzled, "Brother Yaoqing, why didn't you go to the post station, but came here? Don't be so particular about going out. Although the conditions of the post station are not as good as here, the safety of the official place should be guaranteed."

"Brother Feng, you don't know what's going on outside." Wu Yaoqing shook his head, "Those who pose a threat to the adults are no longer ordinary security issues, and those who may really be harmful to the adults are all desperadoes, so the posthouse A little official name has no effect on them, and the post house seems to have status restrictions on the residents, but in fact it is in name only, and many outsiders have settled in, but Brother Feng does not know anything about this place. Opened by an informant,…”

  Feng You suddenly realized, and nodded again and again: "If this is the case, then of course you have to live here. Brother Yaoqing will have to work **** this journey."

"It's all for the safety of adults. The one opened by Long Jinwei's informant may not be safe, but it is better than others. In addition, we have already scouted and stepped on the spot more than a month ago, and it is better to arrange it at night to guard against it." .”

  Wu Yaoqing's words reassured Feng You a lot.

  It turns out that people started to arrange the preparations more than a month ago, and this is a professional in this line of work, which is many times more professional than myself, who only knows how to fight and fight.

  When Wu Yaoqing returned to Jingshi City from Shaanxi, he took a group of people to step on the road along the route, and he returned according to this route at that time.

   There are countless points along the way, including hotels, ferries, passes, narrow roads, mountain trails and other places that are easy to be attacked.

  Their group was divided into three groups, and each of them carried out spot checks according to the division of labor.

  Wu Yaoqing was in charge of the hostel, and the other two groups were in charge of the mountain trails and ferry passes. Even so, it took more than a month to sort out a rough idea.

  After Feng Ziying decided to take this road, Wu Yaoqing dispatched several waves of people in advance to start formally setting up spots along this road one month in advance.

  Book the hostel and make safe arrangements, all of which must be prepared in advance to avoid problems when things come to an end.

"I was worrying too much. With Brother Yaoqing's meticulous arrangement, I can rest assured." Feng You was completely relieved, "If there is anything that needs my help, just arrange it, my brothers may They are not as smart as brother Yaoqing, but they are loyal and dare to risk their lives."

  Wu Yaoqing also knew that the people under Feng You were all good fighters in battle, but the vigilance and fighting in this kind of town block was a bit wasted.

"Brother Feng, you are welcome. If necessary, I will naturally ask for help. However, Brother Feng's subordinates are more effective in the wild. It is better to leave it to my group of men to take precautions at night. They are full of amazing skills. Coincidentally, it's just for this business." Wu Yaoqing laughed.

  The setting sun slowly went down, but the whole Qinghe store was still bustling.

The entire Shuncheng Street is full of traffic and people coming and going. Dozens of hostels, teahouses, wine shops, and Nanhuo shops are spread along this street that is integrated with the post road, forming such a scene. Where the road is the city.

  A hundred steps away from the post station, behind a window on the second floor of Tang's Restaurant facing the street, two figures were hidden in the darkness, standing quietly, watching the post station.

   "Didn't stay at the post station? Hehe, as expected."
