"Lord Qian, you should know that those people under me are not good and bad, they are not regular troops, and when the forest is big, there will always be some bad people...... Don't worry, Lord Qian, after I go back, I will strictly restrain the people in my headquarters, and there will be no similar incidents! ”

Qian Qiaogong looked at Yu Qi noncommittal.

Yu Qi immediately surrendered and retired, not mentioning the matter of military rations and rewards.

Qian Qiaogong did regret it.

In his opinion, the people's army can be his own people.

Unfortunately, the current development of the situation is obviously taken for granted.

"Am I wrong?"

The yellow camel behind him was stunned for a moment, looked left and right, and then realized that Qian Qiaogong was asking himself.

The yellow camel shook his head and said, "Your Excellency is not wrong. ”

Qian Qiaogong said gloomily: "But I was still wrong after all, if Shen Zhiyuan was here, the situation would not be so passive." ”

"There is nothing wrong with adults, it's just that adults are kind-hearted and treat every Han person as a person like themselves." The yellow camel was clumsy, and he couldn't tell what he really wanted to say.

"Yu Qi's rebellion is true, but he and his subordinates are bandits after all, and it is impossible for them to obey the general's will like soldiers in a short period of time. At the same time, I have tasted the blood of innocent people without restraint, and once my hands are glued to the blood, I want to gather my mind again...... Hard! ”

Qian Qiaogong was a little surprised that the yellow camel could say this, and he sighed lightly: "It's me who is too greedy, I want to recover the Dengzhou capital and find a springboard for the Northern Expedition in the future!" ”

Huang Huozi said: "The subordinates should not have said anything, whether it is the prince or General Shen, they have told their subordinates to obey all the orders of Lord Qian...... What the subordinates want to say is that Yu Qi is not worth the trouble of being an adult for him. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Yu Qi, the people's army, if the place is bordering the Yixing Dynasty, what the adults are trying may be realized, after all, Yu Qi is also afraid of the encirclement and suppression of the official army, but the Dengzhou Mansion is lonely, and the Ming army is beyond the reach of this whip, and the promise of the adult is more like painting bread to satisfy hunger for Yu Qi, and naturally the words of the adult will be violated."

The yellow camel's words make sense, Qian Qiaogong sighed in his heart.

Although it is true that the rebels are anti-Qing Dynasty, their composition is by no means a good family of the people.

On the contrary, it is the idle gangsters on weekdays, and they all say that every time they slaughter dogs, they can return righteousness to righteousness, and to violate the prohibition to violate the ban.

Of course, if there is enough time, it may not be impossible to recruit these people, but the most lacking thing at the moment is time.

The yellow camel glanced at Qian Qiaogong cautiously, "There is a sentence that subordinates don't know whether to say or not?" ”

"That's it."

"Adults are naturally benevolent and righteous, and they want to give Yu Qi a way to live, but the problem is that as far as Yu Qi is concerned, why not be a false and wronged snake with adults? Let's not talk about whether Yu Qi will be sincerely attached, let's just say that the prince, I'm afraid it will be difficult to make a choice at this time. ”

"Why?" Qian Qiaogong was a little surprised, "Having a place in Dengzhou will definitely be beneficial to the Northern Expedition in the future." ”

"Your Excellency is right, beneficial is beneficial. But now the Yixing Dynasty and the Northern Expeditionary Army are not ready for the Northern Expedition, if it is just for the sake of this Dengzhou Prefecture, it is necessary to disrupt the prince's existing strategy and supply Dengzhou Mansion from thousands of miles away by sea, this is afraid that it will be more a loss than a gain, right? Moreover, the war situation in Dengzhou Mansion was hidden from the Qing court for a while, but it could not be concealed for a lifetime, once the truth was revealed, the Qing army would swarm in, and at that time, Dengzhou would be a piece of chicken ribs, tasteless to eat, and it was a pity to abandon it. ”

Qian Qiaogong was silent, he began to reflect, this simple truth, even the yellow camel knows, but he is fascinated by the authorities.

Seeing that Qian Qiaogong didn't blame, Huang Huozi boldly said: "Besides, my lord's actions like this are actually putting Lord Shen in a dangerous place. Imagine, the truth of Dengzhou was leaked, and the Qing court knew that the adults were in Cao Ying's heart in Han, so Lord Shen would be exposed, and Lord Shen was caught off guard, I am afraid that there is no room to fight back! ”

Qian Qiaogong's face changed, and he said sharply: "Why didn't you say it before?" ”

Huang Huozi smiled bitterly: "When his subordinates went north, the prince had a strict order, so that his subordinates would listen to Lord Shen and Lord Qian in everything, even if the two adults ordered their subordinates to really surrender or fight against the prince, it would be no exception...... Now that Lord Shen is not here, how dare his subordinates disobey him? ”

Qian Qiaogong's face slowly calmed down, "I really can't blame you, it's me who takes it for granted." ”

The yellow camel hurriedly said: "No wonder my lord, although it has been delayed for a few days, our army still has gains, in the first battle before, our army was really defeated in the seven departments, otherwise Zhang Shangxian, the prefect of Dengzhou, would not be gullible to the adults...... Now the soldiers of the spear cavalry battalion have become suspicious in private, as long as the adults quickly change their strategy and lead the army eastward again, it will be too late. ”

"What do you mean...... Is it to encircle and suppress this rebel army? ”

"Yes." Huang Huozi said solemnly, "The purpose of Lord Shen and Lord Shen going north is to win the trust of the Qing court, what the prince wants is not only the land of Dengzhou, but also the people of Dengzhou. Only when the two adults can have a solid foundation in the Qing court can they do more. ”

"But this rebel army ...... after all It's Han Chinese. ”

"Nope. From the moment they swung their swords at innocent people, they were not rebels, but bandits! The yellow camel said loudly, "After the first battle, the lord negotiated with Yu Qi, and his subordinates planted some eyeliner in the prisoners who were put back, according to the news, three days ago, in the direction of Wendeng City to Hot Spring Town, a team of 100 people under Yu Qi slaughtered a village, more than 100 households in the whole village, and not even a child was left alive...... The one who did this evil thing was Yu Qi's own uncle Yu Jincai. ”

Qian Qiaogong's face turned pale, slammed on the table with a "bang", and shouted angrily: "Why is this? If you rob food, you will rob it, so why kill people? ”

The yellow camel bowed his head and did not answer.

"Say!" Qian Qiaogong glared at the yellow camel and shouted.

The yellow camel sighed lightly: "According to the eyeliner, the rebels were originally as the adults said, only grabbing food and not killing people. But it's not about precaution...... Is it known to adults? ”

Qian Qiaogong was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then suddenly, his face turned from white to blue, daring to love, the people were killed, it was still his own reason?

But the yellow camel really didn't lie.

The formation of the rebel army was originally initiated by a group of gangsters, Yu Qi was originally the same as Li Zicheng, he was a post errand, and he couldn't even be called an official.

But when there was a shortage of food and clothing, and they were facing life and death, the unrestrained rebels naturally began to "supply on the spot", and the rich and inferior gentry were not enough, and the people became a helpless choice.

But they really didn't intend to kill people in the first place.

Also, if you can successfully grab food, who wants to kill?

But the question is, can the people be willing to be robbed?

Killing is just a matter of time.
