Xiong Wencan has a lot of ostentation, he is the governor after all.
Zhu Guoxun, the general of Jiangxi, even personally drove the warship and sent Xiong Wencan to Ji'an Mansion.
Back then, Zhu Guoxun was promoted to General Manager because of his meritorious service, and it was Xiong Wencan's help to repay the meritorious service. One can imagine the relationship between the two.
The guards were beating gongs and drums in front of them, and they were also holding signs like "avoid". Zhu Guoxun, the commander-in-chief, escorted Xiong Wencan to disembark. There was a large group of people in front and rear, adding up to two or three hundred people.
Seeing that Zhu Guoxun was quite nervous and kept pressing the handle of the knife, Xiong Wencan smiled and said: "No need to be like this, Bandit Zhao is not an ordinary bandit. This man has a good way of doing things, and he will not lure you or me to kill him."
"It's better to be careful, thieves and bandits in the world can't be trusted." Zhu Guoxun reminded.
Stepping on the wooden boards to the shore, a big maroon sedan stopped immediately, and Xiong Wencan leisurely stepped into the sedan chair and sat down.
Zhu Guoxun was extremely loyal and always followed the sedan chair. I don't know if the rebels really do something, he will choose to turn around and run away, or to protect his old boss with all his might.
"Boom!"
"when!"
The officials were holding a gong to clear the way, and the people along the way were very upset, and they deliberately slowed down when they avoided it.
Mr. Zhao doesn't sit in this kind of high-ranking official sedan chair. Why do you come to Ji'an to show off, you dog official?
"Give way, old cousin, please make way" The officials in charge of clearing the way had to keep pleading, they really didn't dare to show off their power in the rebel's territory.
Xiong Wencan lifted the car curtain and was quite speechless when he saw the situation outside.
Zhu Guoxun leaned over and said: "Because the rebels' lair is full of unscrupulous people, beware of these unscrupulous people's assassination."
"No problem."
Xiong Wencan's heart is calm, this scene is really nothing.
It's not that Xiong Wencan has never seen bandits who know how to buy people's hearts. Zheng Zhilong, who he recruited to surrender, is used to doing this.
Zheng Zhilong looted the coastal areas of Fujian and Guangdong before accepting the recruitment, which often exhausted the officers and soldiers. But Zheng Zhilong only targeted big households, and even helped small people. Especially the people in Quanzhou, the poor are so favored by Zheng Zhilong, so that every time the officers and soldiers take any action, the local people take the initiative to inform them.
At the same time, a large number of coastal fishermen took refuge in Zheng Zhilong as pirates. Those who didn't become pirates also helped Zheng Zhilong transport goods on the shore, and Zheng Zhilong's henchmen were almost everywhere.
In Xiong Wencan's view, the Luling Zhao thief is just Zheng Zhilong on land, at most he only studied for a few more years, and he was more thorough in giving favors to the common people.
"Stop!"
Arriving at the gate of the General Military Mansion, the guards immediately stopped the group of people.
Pang Chunlai, Li Banghua, Xiao Huan and other officials stood at the door to welcome the governor. Wang Tingshi and Xu Ying also stood there.
Xiong Wencan walked out of the official sedan chair, recognized Li Banghua at a glance, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Mr. Meng An, after a long separation, I never expected to meet again here."
"It's really destined." Li Banghua didn't talk nonsense, and he didn't want to have any friendship with Xiong Wencan.
Chen Maosheng was still in southern Jiangxi. Li Ke, deputy director of the Propaganda Department, stepped forward and said to Xiong Wencan: "Zhao Zongzhen has an order that only five negotiators are allowed to enter. The rest of them will find their own inn to stay. The cost of board and lodging is all on your own. If you harass businesses and people, you will be punished by law!"
Zhu Guoxun sneered: "This is Zhao how your lord treats guests?"
Li Ke replied: "The life of the people is hard, my lord will not bear harsh treatment, and practice the way of frugality. What's more, it is not yet known whether you are a guest or an enemy!"
"The guest is up to the host, haha, the guest is up to the host." Xiong Wencan was like a smiling Buddha, leaving five people with him, and throwing the rest back on the boat.
Li Banghua introduced officials to Xiong Wencan again. Xiong Wencan actually got the information a long time ago, but at this moment he just matched his name with the real person.
After entering the General Military Mansion, Xiong Wencan observed all the way, and found that the officials were all at work, and did not come out to look curiously.
Some civil servants passed by holding official documents, and when they saw Pang Chunlai, Li Banghua and others, they just clasped their fists in greeting. If the hands are empty, they even use a nod instead, and Pang, Li and other high-ranking officials will nod in return.
Xiong Wencan sighed in his heart, under the rule of Bandit Zhao, not only the folks are more energetic, but even the atmosphere of government officials is stronger than that of the imperial court.
This thief can only appease, absolutely powerless to suppress!
There are many vacant houses in Zhao Han's inner house, so this time, Xiong Wencan directly vacated a courtyard.
All the salutes were moved into the house, and everyone sat down in the yard, talking nonsense while waiting for lunch.
Xiong Wencan sat down and took two sips of tea, and asked, "When will your lord see me?"
&bsp; Compared with ascending the pavilion to pay homage to the prime minister and leaving a name in history, the thousands of acres of land at home are nothing!
After much deliberation, Xiong Wencan decided to form a good relationship. While maintaining his official status, he could express his kindness to Zhao Han in private. What if it is useful in the future?
The next afternoon, when Xiong Wencan finally saw Zhao Han, this thought became even stronger.
Because Zhao Han is too young, he has enough time to fight for the world. Even if he doesn't think about himself, Xiong Wencan has to leave a way for the family to retreat, maybe some of his descendants will be officials in the new dynasty.
"Zhao Zongzhen, I have admired your name for a long time!" Xiong Wencan clasped his fists and laughed.
Zhao Han said with a smile: "Everyone, each other!"
Xiong Wencan asked: "Can you and I talk alone?"
"Of course, Governor Xiong please." Zhao Han smiled brightly.
In the secret room.
Xiong Wencan opened his mouth and said: "If I am in Jiangxi, please don't attack the city, Mr. Zhao. In return, I can pretend that I have not seen many things."
Zhao Han suddenly laughed even more happily, because this governor is so funny. Immediately replied: "Don't worry, I will not attack cities and land, but I will help the government to eliminate other bandits."
Xiong Wencan immediately understood.
That is to say, if there are other rebels in Jiangxi, Zhao Han will take advantage of the situation and take the place, and the county will naturally be included in the bag. After all, there are a lot of business taxes in the county.
However, the imperial court can still send a county magistrate, but this county magistrate must be emptied.
The city and the land belonged to the imperial court in name, but actually belonged to Zhao Han.
The two bastards, tacitly, reached a secret agreement on this.
As for the money that must be given, Xiong Wencan promised to give 10,000 taels, and he had to be allowed to pay in installments.
