Section XIX
According to the point of view in the popular romance novel, after capturing a city, things become very simple, as if it can be done as long as "out of the list", although Lin Feng intuitively felt that it was not so simple, but he still didn't expect things to be so troublesome.
Of course, the first thing to do was to appease the Qing officers and soldiers who surrendered. After statistics, the Qing army responsible for defending Tianjin originally had a total of about 18,000 people, all of whom were infantry, of which there were more than 2,000 soldiers belonging to the Eight Banners of the Qing court, and all the others were the green battalion of the Han army.
Matching this era, Chinese medicine obviously has a problem in surgery, there is neither the concept of surgery nor the word blood transfusion, most of the wounded soldiers are just a little pasted herbs, whether they can fight depends on the creation of each person, a miserable scene is in full view, these poor guys lie on the straw and shout loudly, although Lin Feng does not know much about medicine, but it can still be judged that most of the people here are basically hopeless, just waiting for death.
Lin Feng frowned, he didn't understand medicine, there was nothing he could do, he turned his face, and found that the generals around him, including the Qing army officers who had just surrendered, looked like they were all turning a blind eye, and he was slightly annoyed, he pointed to the wounded soldiers and said, "Who is in charge of the wounded soldier battalion?!" ”
"Returning to the marshal," a low-level officer squeezed over behind the crowd and called a thousand, "The last general, Zhao Liangdong, has seen the marshal!" ”
Lin Feng was taken aback and said in amazement, "General Zhao?!" He looked around at the generals, "I have heard that General Zhao is known for his courage and strategy, how can he do this?!" ”
Zhao Liangdong raised his head and knelt on one knee, "Marshal Qiqi, the day before yesterday, I led the army to attack the Han army's artillery array at night, and my men suffered heavy casualties. ”
Lin Feng felt a little incredible, even if the Qing army fought the most beautiful battle in the past few days, he didn't expect the general who led the troops to be punished for this, he looked down, Zhao Liangdong held his head high at the moment, stared at himself without blinking, and behaved extremely rudely, looking at this unruly appearance, Lin Feng smiled, "Where is this kid Zheyata?" …… Oh, General Zhao, please. ”
The generals looked at each other with extremely embarrassed expressions, Zhou Peigong secretly came up and whispered, "They surrendered only after beheading Yata and the Eight Banners in the city." ”
"Oh...... I see! Lin Feng waved his hand, "Since the generals rebelled before the battle, then I, Lin someone, will definitely not treat you badly...... In this way, today's guerrilla generals and above, each of them will be rewarded with a house and a thousand taels of silver, and other officers and soldiers will be rewarded - Pei Gong, you can do this! ”
Zhou Peigong answered in a low voice, and Lin Feng smiled, "General Zhao, I am going to transfer you to the Chinese army, are you willing?!" ”
Zhao Liangdong was stunned for a moment, then a grateful look appeared, and he bowed and saluted, "Xie Dashuai cultivates!" - But it's useless, so there's a please!! ”
Seeing that he actually excused himself, Lin Feng was taken aback, and said in surprise, "General, please speak!" ”
Zhao Liangdong stood up and said proudly, "If the marshal can trust me Zhao, he will allocate 5,000 men and horses to me, and within three days, if I can't take Baoding, I Zhao Liangdong will come to see me!" ”
Vote for a name? Lin Feng thought of it in a daze, turned his head to look at Zhou Peigong, but saw that he shook his head slightly, obviously unable to believe the Qing court officer who had just surrendered, and looked at the general beside him who was full of doubts, Lin Feng was nervous in his heart, and pondered for a long time, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
Zhao Liangdong's face turned red, his teeth clenched, and he said with difficulty, "...... The handsome can't trust us, that's ...... Human...... Despicable, reckless! ”
Lin Feng pinched his knuckles fiercely, suddenly made up his mind, stepped forward and patted Zhao Liangdong's shoulder heavily, and scolded affectionately, "You really look down on your handsome family on a dog day," he took Zhao Liangdong's shoulders and said to the generals around him, "You just cut Yata, what else can Lao Tzu not believe-" He turned to Zhao Liangdong, "It's just that the Qing army still has tens of thousands of horses in Baoding, and the city defense is strong, can you do it on a dog day?!" ”
"Handsome ......" Zhou Pei frowned, and couldn't help but take a step forward.
Lin Feng waved his hand and said to Zhao Liangdong, "Lao Zhao, tell me, why do you kid dare to be so nonsense, if you can really say something, Lao Tzu's Chinese army musket team and artillery team are at your disposal!" ”
Zhao Liangdong was extremely moved in his heart, his lips trembled again and again, and he stammered, "...... The big handsome man is serious, and the humble position is not a trick and trick," the words slipped smoothly, and a trace of pride appeared on Zhao Liangdong's face, "It's not my old Zhao who blows eggs, Zhili, who doesn't know that I, Zhao Liangdong, am good at training soldiers - now almost half of the more than 10,000 people under Tong Outline have been brought by Lao Tzu, and the general manager and the general manager below have all played tricks with us......"
Lin Feng laughed, "Okay, this matter is settled, I will appoint you as the main general, no matter what soldiers are in this Tianjin city, you can pick - let's talk about it, if you can't take Baoding within three days......"
"I'll see you here!" Zhao Liangdong made a big salute in a proper manner, "I don't want the handsome elite soldiers, as long as the original vote brother will be successful - if the handsome man agrees, please allocate me ten more Hongyi cannons!" ”
"There are only eight original Hongyi cannons now, and there are quite a few red-coated cannons, as I just said, you can choose what soldiers you want." Lin Feng smiled, "When are you leaving!" ”
"Let's go and select soldiers and send troops to Baoding immediately!"
Lin Feng applauded, "Not bad, vigorous, I appreciate you!" He turned his head to look at the general, and said with a smile, "Lao Zhao has a great merit here, which other general is interested in making a trip?!" ”
The generals exchanged a look, and they all stepped forward, "The handsome and magnanimous, the last general swears allegiance to the death!" ”
More than 5,000 soldiers looked like they were in good spirits, Lin Feng stood on the city tower and bowed slightly, it seems that this Zhao Liangdong is indeed very good at leading the troops, but Zhou Peigong next to him has a worried face, "Handsome...... All of these soldiers were just brought in, although it is said that 'there is no doubt about employing people'...... Are we sending some people to watch?! ”
Lin Feng glanced at him, this Zhou Peigong's strategy was good, but he was a little less courageous and too cautious, "No need, just now they killed Zheyata and two thousand Tartars with their own hands, and everything in the family is in Tianjin, if they dare to rebel in the past, it is really too kind!" He smiled proudly, "Pei Gong, our business is not good, sometimes you can't gamble!" ”
Tianjin is indeed worthy of the title of the Central Plains Town, after checking the warehouse, Lin Feng knew how abundant the materials here were, and there were 1.2 million taels of silver stored in the treasury of Tianjin Mansion, some time ago because of the war, Zhe Yatta wantonly moved nearby residents to plunder property by the way, and the grain, cloth, and medicinal materials in the warehouse were also hoarded, and what was even more surprising was that there were more than 82,000 mules and donkeys living in this overcrowded city, Lin Feng really couldn't think of what was the use of Zhe Yatta grabbing so many livestock.
Just when Lin Feng was glad that he had made a small fortune again, there was a sudden commotion outside the prefect's yamen, as if countless people were crying and shouting, Lin Feng frowned, and stretched out his hand to beckon Li Ergou who was standing aside, "Go and ask, what's going on?!" ”
After a while, Li Ergou hurriedly turned back, bowed and said, "Dashuai, it is many ordinary people who have surrounded the yamen, and the brothers at the gate can't get out of the way!" ”
Lin Feng Huo Ran's color changed, he threw down the account book with a snap, and walked towards the door quickly, Li Ergou was shocked, and as soon as he waved, the soldiers hurriedly followed.
The situation was worse than imagined, Lin Fengzhong's soldiers were like a great enemy, and they formed three horizontal lines tightly at the yamen, holding waist knives and shouting and scolding, and the square in front of the yamen was full of crying and grabbing the ground, and the crowd was crowded with black and black people, and it seemed that there were no more people. More than a dozen white-haired old men knelt on the ground stiffly, holding a piece of paper in their hands, and there were several strong men lying on the bluestone ground around them, with blood pouring on their foreheads, and they were rolling and shouting at the moment.
"Did it?!" Looking at such a miserable scene, Lin Feng frowned and said to the Han army officer at the door, "What's your name?" ”
The officer, who was about twenty years old, bowed down when he heard the words and said, "Hui, lowly Duan Siwen, is currently the commander of the pro-soldier company." ”
Speaking of Fujian official dialect, Lin Feng knew that it was not good to lose his temper with his old subordinates, so he pointed to those old men and asked, "What do they want to do?!" ”
"Back to Dashuai, it seems that he wants to sue," Duan Siwen saw Lin Feng's uncertain face, and said hurriedly, "I told them that Dashuai was handling official documents, and told them to wait, who knew that these old bastards actually dared to ask people to besiege Dashuai Xingyuan, and if they said that they would not fucking listen, the brothers were angry......"
"So you cut people?!" Lin Feng said lightly, his heart was bright, although his soldiers were not murderous, they would never talk about the three disciplines and eight points of attention.
“…… Great Commander Mingjian, Brothers...... The brothers didn't dare to make a fuss, they all slashed with the back of a knife......" Duan Siwen was startled, hurriedly knelt down, and stammered.
"Okay, okay, I'll talk about this later," Lin Feng waved his hand, ordered the soldiers to spread out a passage, walked out of the yamen, stood on the steps, and looked at these old men condescendingly, "I'm Lin Feng, what's the matter with you?!" ……”
"Your Excellency...... Wronged...... Wronged......"
“…… Lord Qingtian...... ...... call the shots"
Before Lin Feng finished speaking, a violent wave of sound hit, bluffing Lin Feng like a chicken, and thousands of people on the opposite side all fell to the ground with a thud, howling desperately.
Braving the earth-shattering shout, Lin Feng pulled Li Ergou and shouted loudly in his ear, "Go, move the tables and chairs in the lobby," he pointed to the square opposite, "Beat the drums, Ben Shuai is here to handle the case." ”
Several pro-soldiers desperately beat the big drum at the entrance of the yamen, and the rumbling drum beat pressed down the people's call signs, and the pro-soldiers of the brigade rushed up, and even pushed and pulled at the door to clear a large open space, Li Ergou led people to carry tables and chairs and fish out, and instantly arranged this open space into the appearance of a public court.
Lin Feng sat on the chair with a big sting, waved his hand, and the well-trained pro-soldier team immediately lined up in two rows, and the company commander Duan Siwen had a wit, and suddenly shouted, "Quiet, quiet!" Adults ascend to the church!! ——”
The crowd suddenly fell silent, Lin Feng threw an appreciative glance at Duan Siwen, and shouted at the few old men below, "What are you looking for me?!! ”
Without waiting for the old man to answer, hundreds of pro-soldiers and pro-soldiers suddenly shouted in unison, startling Lin Feng, and he was a little annoyed and snorted at Li Ergou, "What are you doing?!" ”
Li Ergou looked at Lin Feng with amazement and whispered, "...... The brothers are shouting for the adults......"
Lin Feng was taken aback, pinched his chin in embarrassment, and muttered, "I don't seem to have ever handled a case, right?" Why are these guys so professional?! ”
Li Ergou smiled bitterly and was speechless, the Son of Heaven has walked under his feet, so can he still understand this rule? I've never eaten pork, I've always seen pigs run away, right?!
Several old men under the case gradually calmed down, whispered to each other, and crawled over on their knees, led by the old man to present the paper above his head, "Lord Qingtian, please make the decision for Xiaomin!" ......" tears flowed down his eyes, and he spoke and shouted and sang, and his voice was full of emotion.
Li Ergou trotted, took the paper, and put it on the case, but Lin Feng didn't look at it, and "snapped" a shocking shot, ", I'm going to be busy," he pointed to the old man who presented the paper, "Say about you-just you, others are five or six, if you have something to say, let it go!" ”
Seeing Lin Feng's fierce question, the old man shivered and said tremblingly, "...... Student Liu Zhengming, a former Qing Xiucai, lives in the second mule street at the west gate of Tianjin City......"
Lin Feng burst out laughing, seeing a guy in his seventies and eighties calling himself a "student" in front of him, it was really amazing, he forced a smile and interrupted him, "Oh, it turned out to be a member of the Sage Sect, and there is a reputation in the previous dynasty, that handsome man is really rude." He turned his head and whispered to Li Ergou and asked, "According to the rules, can those who have meritorious fame not kneel?!" ”
Li Ergou was dumbfounded, he was originally Li Qingliu's family nursing home, and this rule is really unclear.
"Forget it, forget it, the rules of the Qing Dynasty can't be used anyway," Lin Feng waved his hand and ordered, "Come on, come on, set up a chair, and ask this old gentleman to sit down!" At a glance, he saw several other old men looking at him with blank eyes, and he couldn't bear it, "Have you ever read poetry and books?!" - Alas, forget it, don't make this excuse, the sage said: ...... This 'old man and the old man', Ben Shuai can't help but give face, everyone sit down! ”
When the old men sat down sideways in fear, Lin Feng said with a smile, "Mr. Liu, you have brought so many junior brothers this time, are you going to smash my field?!" ”
Liu Zhengming was startled, jumped up like a spring, knelt on the ground with a thud, and said in a trembling voice, "The villain doesn't dare...... The villain doesn't dare!! ......" He swallowed hard, relieved his breath, knocked his head a few times, and then said cautiously, "The student is entrusted by the neighbors this time, and asks the handsome to make decisions for the people!" ”
"Hey, hey, don't panic, don't panic, I'll just ask casually, see that your old man is nervous, sit down and talk, sit down and talk!" Lin Feng smiled and pointed to the chair.
Liu Zhengming wiped a handful of cold sweat, still knelt on the ground, bowed his head and said, "Today, our Han army has won a big victory, and the mighty army is stationed in Tianjin, which is really the honor of the people of Tianjin...... Liu is not talented, he has a small prestige in the local area, and he has also responded to the people, calling on the neighbors to come out of the pig and sheep to reward Wang Shi" He secretly glanced at Lin Feng, and saw that the adults were laughing and chanting and listened very proudly, and said boldly, "...... But when the soldiers entered the city, they plundered on a large scale, and several houses in the street where the students were in danger of being secured, and the women were still ...... Please sit for us and the grass people!! ”
Lin Feng smiled suddenly, Huo Ran stood up, this is not a trivial matter, in the future, this Gyeonggi Zhili will be his basic base, Tianjin is not only the gateway to Beijing, but also the canal waterway, and at the same time the only outlet to the sea, even if it is said to be a lifeline, it is not an exaggeration, if it is because the army is not disciplined and makes people angry, it is really possible to shake the foundation of their own survival.
Thinking of this, his face turned grim, "Mr. Liu, please get up, this matter is indeed our mistake, you sit down and watch me punish those bastards!" He raised his head and shouted to the people around him, "Tianjin people are listening?!" ……”
The people looked at each other in astonishment.
Lin Feng shouted again, "Today, I will rectify the military discipline, if it is done well, the gentlemen of Tianjin City will give us a cheer; If it's not done well, everyone can coax - Tianjin people listen?! ”
Lin Feng shouted three times in a row, there was silence in the square, and suddenly there was a commotion, and after a long time, he finally shouted loudly together, "...... Tianjin people listen!!"
Lin Feng laughed and jumped off the desk, turned his head and shouted an order to his own soldiers, "Blow the trumpet - gather the general!" ”
