    The bleak autumn wind stirred up a gust of yellow sand. The dilapidated city walls and war flags were blown by the autumn wind. The two black characters "Roufu" on the city gate plaque were still vigorous and powerful, seeming to tell people that this place was once prosperous.  .

    An autumn rain and a cold, especially here in the northwest of Bianguan, where the heat was unbearable a few days ago, but after an autumn rain, people feel a little bit chilly.

    Zhao Liang stood under the city gate of Roufu County, looked up at the flying flag of the Song Army and said: "Fang Dingjun, when did we have a Fang Dingjun in the Song Dynasty?" Fang Jinshi next to him said: "This is the alliance.  Those who accept recruitment on the mountain have their own military titles." Zhao Liang couldn't help but glance at Fang Jinshi again. Such a military title would inevitably make him think more about things.

    The south gate of Roufu County opened "squeaky" to both sides, and a pair of Song soldiers lined up from the city. Although these Song soldiers had various clothes, including winter and summer clothes, they were all full of energy and healthy.  They were strong and strong, numbering about five hundred people. The two riders in the middle slowly emerged from the queue. The red-faced man on the left shouted from a distance: "Chief Fang, why are you here now? I've been waiting for you for a long time."

    The man on the right said: "He is still called Leader Fang, but he should be called Captain Fang."

    The red-faced man on the left is Du Cheng, the cavalry leader of Zhang Zong'e. Since he is here, it also shows that Zhang Zong'e is willing to bring all his few cavalry here. The one on the right is Shao Xing. Fang Jinshi said: "Shao San."  Brother is here too, where is Brother Chen?"

    Shao Xing smiled and replied: "He has something to do and he has gone back. Brother Zhang sent me and Du Cheng to help you."

    Fang Jinshi understood that in the past few days when he returned to Yanzhou City, Zhang Zong'e had not been idle. He quietly completed the personnel replacement, replacing Chen Mijun and replacing him with the more mature and steady Shao Xing to accept recruitment.

    Fang Jinshi said: "Then let's all enter the city!" Shao Xing smiled and said: "Okay." He turned around and shouted to the city: "Captain Fang has entered the city."

    He shouted so loudly that Fang Jinshi was startled. Then he heard the deafening sound of firecrackers on the city wall and the noise of gongs and drums in the city gate. Only then did Fang Jinshi understand that Shao Xing had organized a welcome ceremony for him.  .

    Although Fang Jinshi felt that he had face, he also felt that it was a bit exaggerated. He was now only a seventh-grade martial arts general and martial cavalry officer. He could not afford such a welcome formation. He rode a horse and led Shao Xing together.  When Zhao Liang and Dong Mingtian Xing's Song troops entered the city, the people in the city lined the streets to welcome them. Fang Jinshi estimated that these people were driven into the streets by the bandits from Huimeng Mountain.

    Fang Jinshi quietly said to Shao Xing beside him: "Brother Shao, there is no need for such a large formation, right?" Shao Xing smiled slightly and whispered: "This must be done to show Captain Fang's prestige in our army, otherwise those Song soldiers  The general will understand that he has despised you."

    Only then did Fang Jinshi realize that these were brought to him by the Yongxing Army deployment officers to establish their prestige. Zhao Liang and the other three were originally uneasy, wondering whether these bandits would suddenly go back on their word and embarrass themselves and others. Now seeing how they greeted them  Fang Jinshi felt much more at ease.

    Amid thunderous applause and cheers, Fang Jinshi walked into the county government office of Roufu County. His official position was not high, but others were even smaller. The people in Huimengshan all obeyed him. Today, he is the biggest in Roufu County.  .

    Fang Jinshi took a rest and discussed the recruitment and garrison matters with Shaoxing Ducheng and the three ninth-grade captains of the Yongxing Army. In general recruitment, the army and the army have an absolute advantage. The bandits and robbers who accepted the recruitment were reorganized.  Either they were incorporated into the military camp, or new military leaders were sent to lead the people who were recruiting for peace. However, in Roufu County, the power of the bandits was greater than that of the official army. The situation was completely different.

    Tu Gaozhi didn't come, and even Feng Miaoji, who had a higher position than Fang Jinshi, didn't arrive. Fang Jinshi thought for a moment, he really couldn't handle the recruitment before the formation, so he simply ignored it for the time being and just arranged for the army to be stationed at the south gate.  With the West City Gate, the brothers from Huimeng Mountain garrisoned the North City and the East City. As for other things, we can only integrate them slowly.

    He asked about the current situation in front of the army. Shao Xing had already asked the scouts to find out clearly. The Jin soldiers broke through Ningren County and pressed forward step by step. While clearing up the resistance forces in Yunnei Prefecture, they advanced towards the capital city of Yunnei Prefecture. Now Xiao  Kuohai's cavalry and more than 2,000 Qin Gankai, as well as some resistance forces unwilling to surrender to the Jin soldiers, suppressed Yinmatan.

    "Have Xiao Kuohai and Qin Gankai gone to Yinma Beach?" Fang Jinshi heard that Yinma Beach had not yet fallen into the hands of the Jin soldiers, and he breathed a sigh of relief, but he had to make Xiao Kuohai and Qin Gankai defect to the Song Dynasty.  It is not an easy task. Without their surrender, it will be difficult for the Song Dynasty to obtain the excellent iron ore in Yinmatan.

    Fang Jinshi wrote a letter to Qin Gankai and Xiao Kuohai, just to express his concern. Now he can't say anything. Song and Liao are now hostile forces, but now they can't rob Yinmatan by force, and they can't beg softly.  Unable to start at the moment.

    At noon on the third day, someone suddenly came to report that there was someone outside asking to see him. Fang Jinshi walked outside the county government office and took a look. He saw a dozen businessmen-looking people standing by the county government office with several boxes. The leader was Xiu.  Wang's follow??Uncle Shao Yunshao.

    When Uncle Shao saw Fang Jinshi coming out, he clasped his fists and saluted, "I've seen Captain Fang."

    Fang Jinshi stepped forward to greet him: "Brother Shao, you have worked hard all the way. Third brother Shao Xing and Shao should be patrolling at the north gate at this time. I will send someone to call him back. You brothers should not have seen each other for some time, right?"

    Uncle Shao said: "No hurry, no hurry, the young master sent me to deliver something to Colonel Fang." He pointed to the big boxes at his feet, and Fang Jinshi understood that these were the ten thousand guan that Zhao Zicheng promised him.  Military pay.

    Fang Jinshi grunted and asked, "Does the Master have anything special to say about these things?" Shao Yundao said: "The Master has nothing to say, it's all up to Captain Fang."

    Fang Jinshi said: "Okay." He turned around and gave a few instructions to the people behind him, and they separated. Not long after, Tian Xing and Zhao Liang came from the south with dozens of people, and Du Cheng and Shaoxing came from the north.  Coming, Shao Yun saw Shao Xing and nodded slightly.

    Zhao Liang saluted Fang Jinshi and said, "I wonder what Captain Fang's orders are when he is summoned?"

    Fang Jinshi walked up to those boxes, stroked the lid of one box and said, "Juntou Zhao, Prince Xiu understands everyone's hard work in defending the city and sent 10,000 yuan to reward the brothers. How do you think we should distribute it?" Zhao Liang said: "  Everything is arranged by leader Fang."

    Fang Jinshi smiled and said: "Although the money is not much, it is still the thoughtful intention of Prince Xiu. How about adding half to the brothers from Huimeng Mountain and the brothers from Hongshui Camp, two to one, and half to the family?"

    Zhao Liang hesitated and asked: "Give it all to the brothers?" Fang Jinshi smiled and said: "Of course I will give it all to the brothers. I promised the brothers when we were in Jiutingyi. When we get to this Roufu County, I promise to let the brothers  I have money to drink and money to gamble, Tian Xing, I didn¡¯t break my promise, did I?¡±

    Tian Xing looked a little excited and said eagerly: "Captain Fang is true to his words, I, Tian Xing, have long believed it."

    Fang Jinshi laughed and said, "Then the brothers will divide it among themselves. Let's have a good time at both houses in the evening. Brother Shao, let's go in first."

    Shao Yun followed him into the county government office. He didn't have to worry about how the money was distributed outside. The brothers in Huimengshan didn't have anything, but Zhao Liangtianxing and other officers and soldiers were extremely excited. These people hadn't sent out messages for a long time.  Military pay.

    Corruption was rampant in the official army of the Song Dynasty. If there were really 10,000 guans in military pay, it would be a very good boss to end up with 5,000 guan in the hands of Zhao Liangtianxing. What's more, this was not a military pay issued by the imperial court, but was helped by Fang Jinshi himself.  He gave all the money obtained by the officers and soldiers to his subordinates without taking any money. This was impossible for the officers and soldiers of the Song Dynasty. There were less than a thousand of them, and each of them had five guans when divided. Zhao Liangtian Xing  The others originally looked down upon Fang Jinshi, thinking that he only got such a position as a martial arts master because of his connections. Now that he has money and can do things easily, they think much more highly of him.

    Fang Jinshi knew that when these people had money, they would naturally drink and gamble. He did not prohibit this. Moreover, through drinking and gambling, the relationship between the officers and soldiers and the brothers in Huimeng Mountain would be greatly improved.  This is also one of the purposes for which he sends money.

    He and Shao Yun walked to the back together. When they passed the side gate, a man dressed as a government servant stood by the door and shouted: "Captain Fang, please go slow."

    Fang Jinshi looked back and saw that it was Deng An, the government servant he had sent to extort and subjugate the richest man in the county. After Fang Jinshi came back, he was busy with official duties and forgot about this person for a while.

    Deng An walked forward with a smile on his face and said, "Captain Fang, please take a moment to speak." Fang Jinshi frowned and said, "Just tell me what you have to say. There are no outsiders here."

    Deng An glanced at Shao Yuncai and said: "That's it. Didn't Captain Fang ask me to ask the Xiao family in the city to borrow some money? His family refused at first. Now that the Song Dynasty official army has entered the city, their family is now afraid. The Xiao family  The eldest young master Xiao Ming asked me to plead with Colonel Fang again and again, and asked me to ask Captain Fang to visit the government several times."

    Fang Jinshi hummed and said, "If you go back to Xiao's house, you won't have to go to his house. If you let him take out the money, you won't embarrass him."

    Deng An said with a smile: "This is of course indispensable. Xiao Ming also knew that Colonel Fang was busy with military affairs, so he didn't dare to disturb him. It was just that his family would not feel at ease if he did not invite Colonel Fang, so he held a special banquet in Ruyi Building tonight.  Invite Colonel Fang to come and drink wine, and please come and show your respect to Colonel Fang."

    Fang Jinshi was reluctant to go, but he knew that if he wanted peace in the city, he had to rely on the local tycoons, so he turned back to Shao Yun and said, "Brother Shao, how about going with me tonight?"

    Shao Yun leaned forward and said, "Young Master is still waiting for me to return to my hometown. I'm afraid I can't go with Commander Fang. No wonder." Fang Jinshi chuckled and said, "That's alright, let Uncle Shao go back."  Thank you very much, Master."

    In the evening, Deng An ran over to Fang Jinshi and said, "Captain Fang, the sedan is ready." Fang Jinshi wanted to ride on horseback, but had no choice but to give up. He only took Wei Chong and a few of his men with him.  After arriving at the county government office, we headed south.

      Although Wei Chong still didn't have much to say to him, his attitude became much more polite. Fang Jinshi gradually understood his temper. He didn't like others to be long-winded. If you have something to say, just say it directly and do it as soon as you say it.  Too much and he ignores you.

    Ruyi Tower is located in a relatively prosperous area in the south of the city. When Fang Jinshi's sedan passed by a restaurant, some horses stopped in front of the building. Fang Jinshi asked Deng An, "Is this here?"

    Deng An hurriedly stepped forward and said: "This is Zuichun Tower, Ruyi Tower is in the alley in front." Fang Jinshi thought that some of the military leaders or low-level leaders on Huimeng Mountain might be in Zuichun Tower tonight.  He originally wanted to have some fun with these people by getting drunk and gambling, but after thinking about it, he decided not to do it.
