Chapter 1486 Khitan Dog Thief
Chapter 1486
In the seventh luxurious wine shop in the Northern Liao Dynasty, the Yanzhou city on Juehua Island, Li Yongkun, the governor of Yanzhou, was carrying a pot of water to drink.
There were also a group of equally depressed confidants around them. Looking at the cooked seafood on the table, they had no appetite.
They wanted to eat meat and vegetables, but now all of those things have entered the mouths of Yelu Ke, the new sectarian of Yanzhou, Liao Kingdom, and the 800 Khitan warriors he led.
Even the cleaner and more exquisite restaurants on the island have now become places for Khitan warriors to visit.
His former domineering Yanzhou, now he is inferior to a Khitan warrior. The two hundred brothers under his command have now become slaves.
He either repaired the city walls or fed the Khitan generals with odd jobs and fed the toilets. And what about himself? How good is it?
After all, I was a 5th-rank Sima Yanzhou. Those two hundred brothers left only twenty people for myself, and asked me to be responsible for inspecting the wharf and ports, and I called it the Han area. According to the law, the Han people governed the Han area.
Every morning, Li Yongkun had to lead twenty complaining subordinates early in the morning to patrol Juehua Island. Although Juehua Island is not big, it would be a long time to walk around.
It was not that Li Yongkun was willing to measure with his feet, but on the first day of the Yanzhou Governor's post, he asked Li Yongkun to contribute his mount on the excuse of one of his own soldiers and horses falling ill.
"I really don't know when this kind of dog days will end..." Not far away, a drunken citizen involuntarily expressed such helpless feelings.
"Brother, let's say a little bit..." The companions around him quickly pushed him, and glanced at Li Yongkun and others not far away with lingering fear.
A confidant beside Li Yongkun stood up shakingly. He was about to walk over, but Li Yongkun stopped him and called him back. "What do you want to do? Come back and sit down!"
"But sir, they talk nonsense like this. If it reaches those people's ears..." The subordinate who sat back said with some concern.
Li Yongkun's deputy Chen Xin couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Do you think those Khitan masters have time to deal with such gossip? Besides, do you think what the little people are saying is wrong?"
"Enough, eat quickly. After eating, we will still have to patrol the dock." Li Yongkun had a gloomy face and stopped the dispute between the two subordinates. The group had to bury their heads and swallow all the food that had been extremely fed. After filling their stomachs, he swayed towards the north gate of Yanzhou City.
"Oh, isn't this General Li? The villain is polite..." Not long after walking, he saw Wan Ming, the shopkeeper of the Yanzhou Branch of Wanhong Trading Company, step out of the door and bow to Li Yongkun with a smile.
"It turns out to be Manager Wan, Li is polite." Seeing this generous and hospitality, Li Yongkun, the new Yanzhou governor, would greet Manager Wan with a smile when he saw him, he naturally did not dare to neglect him.
After asking about Li Yongkun's whereabouts, Wan Ming couldn't help but sigh. "I dare not be the ritual of a general. General Li is diligent in his duties, which is actually a model for those who are superior. But now the sun is in a fierce state, so there is no need to go to patrol the dock in such a hurry.
Come on, it’s not too late to go to the villain’s shop to drink a few cups of thirst-quenching tea. This is just a good group of tea from Jiangnan. The general must enjoy the whole place..."
Li Yongkun narrowed his eyes and looked at the vicious sun, and finally half-swered and half-stepped into Wanhong Trading Company. "Look at you, you are so polite after having been in love with Li for several years, which makes Li very embarrassed."
"General Li must not say such things. My Wanhong Trading Company can have such a scale on Juehua Island. After all, it depends on General Li's care over the past few years. As the saying goes, we should not forget the well digging people when we draw water. What we Song people pay most attention to is to repay kindness, please..."
Wan Ming's mouth was extremely smooth, and he made Li Yongkun smile in a few seconds, which also made Li Yongkun's subordinates smile, and he couldn't help but feel a little more favorable to this shopkeeper Wanda.
Li Yongkun arranged all his brothers to drink tea in the yard to avoid shade, and he naturally followed Wanming into the backyard room and sat down, carefully savoring the sweet and thirsty-quenching ball of tea.
The door was wide open, and the brothers in the yard were all drinking tea and bragging and fucking each other while looking outside the house. Wan Ming first exchanged a few greetings with Li Yongkun, and then he suppressed his voice to a very low voice.
"I wonder how you are thinking about it, General? Is it true? Now it's just General Li's words..." As he spoke, Wan Ming brought a small but very heavy wooden box from the side and put his hands on the table and pushed it in front of General Li.
Li Yongkun browed, looked at Wan Ming, opened it carefully, and saw the densely packed gold ingots filled with neat wooden boxes. It was probably a hundred taels, which made him gasp and subconsciously turned his head to look at the open door, gritted his teeth and covered the wooden box.
I wanted to push back the hot gold, but I was a poor place in Yanzhou, a poor place in Yanzhou, for nearly fifteen years, and I was afraid that Li Yongkun, who had not had much gold in this box, would not be willing to bear it.
Seeing that Li Yongkun was so difficult to choose, Wan Mingxin knew that this guy was already moved and decided to add another bait.
Li Yongkun saw Wan Ming reaching out with a smile, then took out a note covered with a large vermilion seal, put it on the table, and pushed it in front of him.
Li Yongkun looked down and took a breath again. The seal covered by the Liaodong Defense Envoy, and the name of the signature was Zhong Shidao, the Liaodong Defense Envoy of the Song Kingdom, who was already well-known in the entire Northern Liao capital.
The above content is very straightforward, meaning that Li Yongkun, Sima of Yanzhou, Zhongjing, Northern Liao, was diligent in governing and working diligently, but because of his Han status, he had never had the opportunity to be promoted. Now, Northern Liao sent a foreigner Khitan tribe to do whatever he wanted on Juehua Island, treating the Han people who live here like pigs and dogs.
However, Li Yongkun asked for the people, but was criticized and humiliated by the Khitan assassination officials. Therefore, in order to take into account the livelihood and safety of thousands of Han people on Juehua Island, Li Yongkun decided to lead thousands of Han people on Juehua Island to offer the land of Juehua Island and surrender to the State of Song.
I was moved by Li Yongkun's tolerance and compassion for the people. Although he was under the oppression of the Khitan ethnic group, he did not forget the Chinese style of filial piety and brotherhood. Therefore, Zhong Shidao decided to submit a report to Song Ting and ask the court to give Li Yongkun the position of Juezhou Tuanjian...
Seeing Li Yongkun breathing heavily and looking at the paper covered with a large seal, Wan Ming lowered his voice and continued to instigate him.
