Volume 1 The Battle of Luchuan Chapter 39 The New Master of Nansangzhai (I)
Walking back to the bamboo building of the village owner, the young village master and the elder in the village, that is, the uncle of the young village master, stared at him uneasily and angrily.
"Jiang Yugang, I should call you Jiang Baihu now, what are you going to do when you send someone to detain the two of us?" The young village master Mangge took the lead in asking.
"I don't really want to do anything, but there are other people who want to do something." Jiang Yu simply sat on the ground to rest.
The situation was tense before, his spirit was highly tense, and it took too much effort, but now this one is much easier, everything here is under his control, he only needs to talk and watch the play.
"Others?" Mang Ge looked at himself a little nervously, it was Yu Shi and another intelligence officer, both of them were more than a head tall Mangge, even in the Ming army, they were absolutely strong men.
When all the onlookers of the villagers followed to chase and kill the Luchuan soldiers and left the open space in front of the main building of the village, Mang Ge was stopped by the two people who suddenly jumped out.
Mang Ge recognized this as Jiang Yugang's subordinates at the first time, but at the same time he was desperate, this Ming army leader was so ruthless, it was not enough to dominate the people in his village to kill the Luchuan soldiers, and he would not even let go of his own life.
But to his surprise, after these two strong men controlled themselves and their uncle, they did not do it immediately, but waited quietly until Jiang Yu came over.
"It's someone you know." Jiang Yu clapped his hands, and a villager walked out from behind the intelligence officer, with deep hatred in his eyes.
Jiang Yuyan added: "To be precise, it's your enemy. ā
"Mangge, meet again." The villager greeted Mangge. He was scrawny, and his skin was covered in shocking blood.
ā⦠Aye? Didn't your family go to Ava? Mang Gewei hesitated, but still recognized the identity of this villager.
"To Ava? I'm the only one left in our family now. A miserable smile appeared on Ah Ye's face.
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
The appearance of this villager Ah Ye can be regarded as Jiang Yugang's unexpected gain. He has been active in Nansangzhai these days, and on the side of Manggu Mountain, the new chief flag and small flag have not relaxed the training of recruits.
Relying on the information obtained by the Intelligence Department from its activities in the nearby mountains, Jiang Yugang identified several strongholds of the thieves and sent soldiers from Manggu Mountain to encircle and suppress them as part of the training.
Under the sneak attack of the new fire guns and bird guns in Mangu Mountain, several thieves' strongholds were devastated, most of the thieves were killed, and at the same time, twenty or thirty people who were kidnapped by thieves were rescued from the strongholds.
After these people recovered their physical and mental torture from thieves in the Manggu Mountain camp, more than a dozen homeless people joined the Manggu Mountain Ming Army, training hard and strong willpower better than many recruits, and Ah Ye, a villager in Nansang Village, was one of them. And his appearance has also cleverly become a part of Jiang Yugang's plan.
Jiang Yu's purpose is to control Nansangzhai and gain the support of the entire Nansangzhai villagers, but the existence of the young village master Mangge is an important obstacle for him to achieve his goal. As long as the young master is still in the village for a day, he will never be reasonable enough for a day.
No matter how wise his decision-making is, and how ridiculous Mangge's decision is, as long as Mangge moves out of his identity as the young village master, his right to speak will be infinitely weakened.
Although Nansangzhai died because of the previous battle with the Luchuan army, most of the leading figures in the village who can speak can be spoken, but he still left Mangge, but his identity as his "own person" is much more reliable in the eyes of the villagers than Jiang Yugang's Ming army background.
To truly achieve his goal, he must find a way to control Mangge, and killing him is the most thorough means.
Jiang Yugang has been thinking about ways to kill Mang Ge without being suspected, after all, they are outsiders, as long as the personnel of the Intelligence Department do it, once there are clues, it is difficult not to be questioned, and the best way is to let their own people in the village do it.
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
"You're the only one left?" Surprised, Mang Ge asked, "What happened?" ā
"Don't you know what the thieves in the whole forest know?" Ah Ye asked with a fierce look.
ā⦠A whole mountain forest? Mangger was even more confused.
Ah Ye sneered a few times: "It seems that you are living a very comfortable life these days, you don't know anything, you only know how to be a turtle with a shrunken head - because in recent months, the Luchuan army has been aggressively exploiting, and the people in various villages can no longer survive, so they can only flee, and after the bandits in the mountains learned the news, they ambushed everywhere and hijacked passers-by who looted and fled - don't you know any of this?" ā
"I..."Mang Ge did not seem to know what happened to the refugees, and explained in amazement and guilt: "I really didn't expect it, and I didn't know that these things happened......
Ah Ye continued to reprimand: "You didn't expect it, but you didn't think about it at all, how should we live if we handed over all our property and food to the Luchuan soldiers?" In order to save your life, you will not let the villagers clash with the Luchuan soldiers again, but what are the lives of those who starved to death in the stockade, those who were hijacked by thieves and killed, my family, their lives? ā
"Ah Ye... Luchuan has a large army, and Iā" Mang Ge was speechless when asked. He originally thought that the villagers would not clash with the Luchuan soldiers, leave Mengyang, where the war was the most huge, and go to other places, although the family business is gone, but they can always save their lives.
But he never expected that the thieves in the mountains would be so vicious, and that the people who fled from house to house did not have the protection of each other from the cottage villagers, and they would kill the refugees who were entangled with the little rations they had left.
"If you don't have a chance, then you shouldn't be the owner of the village," Ah Ye said hatefully: "Originally, the position of the young village owner was not your turn, you used your kinship with the old village owner and the old village owner to manage the cottage, and ordered not to conflict with the Luchuan army, and honestly handed over what they wanted, how many people were killed?" ā
"The old village owner was killed because of the battle with the Luchuan soldiers, this is the backbone of the village owner, you can only bow your head, why do you manage the cottage?" Ah Ye's emotions became more and more excited.
"I'm not worthy to be the master of the cottage, who else is worthy? In this world, the army is chaotic, and Nansang Village has already been calculated. Mang Ge was also angry by Ah Ye's words, and stretched out his hand to point at Jiang Yuyan and asked, "Is he worthy?" An outsider? Today he led the villagers to kill the Luchuan soldiers, and tomorrow the entire Nansang Village will be punished for this! ā
"You don't deserve to point your finger at Jiang Baihu!" Seeing Mangge's arrogant appearance, Ah Ye reached out and punched Mang Ge to the ground. It is hard to imagine that his body that has been tortured by bandits still has such hidden power: "If it weren't for Jiang Baihu sending troops to exterminate the bandits in the Manggu Mountains, I would have died under torture with my family a long time ago!" ā
