Chapter 41: Intentional

"I said that." Shen Liang carried a gun, pulled out the crowd, and calmly walked under the eaves of the porch.

"Your name is Shen Liang?" Min Yuanqi's eyes lit up, he had been waiting for someone to say what Shen Liang said, but his banner army did not squeak, but an outside craftsman opened his mouth first.

"It's me."

"You artisan is more courageous than the army!"

"I was originally a battalion soldier." Shen Liang looked around very calmly, and his shining eyes shocked many of the originally unconvinced flag soldiers to avoid his eyes, even Min Yuanqi was slightly shocked when he saw Shen Liang's eyes...... What kind of eyes are these, cold, indifferent, lifeless, when you look at others, it seems that everyone around you is air, or just dead.

Min Yuanqi's experience and knowledge far exceed that of everyone in front of him, he has the experience and knowledge of the information explosion era in the future, and his knowledge reserve, even if it is only a small piece in history, is enough to kill everyone in front of him in seconds.

His martial arts come from the current body, and they are also passed down from generation to generation, including military learning, commanding, personal skills, and a full set of skills.

But in front of this inconspicuous battalion, Min Yuanqi couldn't help but avoid his eyes...... This kind of breath, this obvious killing intention, and even the inside of the living beings as grass mustard, but Min Yuanqi, who is a human being in two lifetimes, is far from comparable.

"I was originally the battalion of the standard battalion under the command of Sun Junmen, the governor of Dengzhou, and our battalion was broken up in the Dengzhou Rebellion, and my brother and I fled all the way south from the rebellion, and went to Dahewei to become a craftsman again, which is considered to be settled...... In the current situation, we follow the generals to the battlefield, there is no advance or retreat, hesitation and hesitation, we are waiting for death! ”

When many flag soldiers heard Shen Liang's experience, they all subconsciously took a step back.

This guy followed his brother, everyone originally thought that he was also an ordinary craftsman apprentice, doing work, Shen Liang also seemed clumsy, and many people talked about this matter, saying that this kid was afraid of being a fool, or he was a prodigal who was lazy and unwilling to learn the craft seriously.

Who knew that this person was actually a battalion soldier who survived the killing field, according to his experience, first in the Dengzhou Fubiao camp, and then survived in the Dengzhou Rebellion, many people know that the Dengzhou Rebellion was terrible, and the dead were afraid that there were more than one million, and there were many refugees from Shandong who fled to the Jiangbei area, and settled in various places in Xuzhou and Huai'an, according to these people, it was really a life experience...... This Shen Liang is usually wilting, who would have expected such a thrilling past?

"Idlers go back." Min Yuanqi nodded to Shen Liang, and turned his head to everyone: "I have my own affairs at the bottom, those who are willing to stay and 'discuss' voluntarily stay, and those who don't want to stay leave quickly!" ”

Min Yuanqi's words showed absolute authority and unquestionable, non-negotiable power.

After hesitating for a moment, Wang Mingyuan decided to leave with his second sister.

Wang Mingyuan was a little ashamed, and more still disagreed and opposed. In any case, even if the court loses the regular order, the subordinates should also pick up the gaps and take the initiative to make up for the mistakes of the court, which is what loyal ministers and righteous people should do. Now that Yang Shida despises the authority of the government, and the guests in the military town are in trouble, the more chaotic it is, the local guards should not cause trouble and wait for the imperial court to deal with it......

"Brother Min family, be careful." When the second sister left, she seemed to see Min Yuanqi's determination, and reminded her in a whisper, so she helped the injured brother to leave with the old servant at home.

Min Yuanqi nodded slightly, now it seems that men may not know more than women, judging from the current situation, Wang Ming's vision is not clear, and he is far worse than his sister......

Guan Lei left after a deep sigh, and many flag soldiers also left one after another after hesitating.

It is obvious that something big is going to happen in front of them, and although many people are indignant, it is difficult to make up their minds for a while when they look at the small family watching from a distance...... Min Baihu was obviously going to fight with Yang Shida, and that's what the Dengzhou battalion soldier with bright eyes said...... Since the government ignores the fact that Wang Baihu was arrested and the lives of military households are threatened, how big of a deal is it to kill a thief and salt lord and miscellaneous officials? With this in front of you, what does it mean that Min Baihu wants someone to voluntarily stay, isn't this a lice on the monk's head, an obvious thing?

Despite the anger of the people, the usual caution made them more desperate...... Although the matter of the salt pond may be over, and you will have to eat sugar swallow vegetables in the future, you can still survive. It's just that if the matter of the guest soldiers' food requisition is suppressed, life will be sad, and it will be difficult for someone in the family to starve to death, or even sell their children and daughters. But before the end of the day, how do you know that there will be no turnaround? Under the influence of anger, doubt, timidity, fear, and other emotions, the person who left still turned back step by step, although his steps were heavy and his heart was unwilling.

Then there was a cacophony of chatter, loud among the women, and some of them screaming and swearing, which was particularly harsh in the otherwise quiet village...... It must have been that the women had heard about the requisition of grain, and that the things in the salt pond were not going well, and several things had superimposed on each other, so that the originally hopeful mood suddenly fell to the bottom of the well...... It is not surprising that the women who could not hold their breath began to cry and curse under this gap.

In the midst of all kinds of sounds, there were faint complaints about Min Yuanqi, and Min Yuanqi also heard it when he stood under the eaves of the porch.

People's hearts are like this, Min Yuanqi's current prestige is not high enough to be unconditionally convinced, so far, he has given some craftsmen and trained banner soldiers four liters of food a day, and some free meals, but everyone is also exchanged for hard training and greedy and dark work from morning to night every day...... Min Yuanqi is not those greedy and unreasonable military attachés, they can try their best to squeeze the military households under their rule, and treat the flag army and their families as coolie serfs, and they have no guilt, but they also get perfunctory work and scolding behind their backs...... Although Min Yuanqi did not receive deeper support, at least the banner army and their families under the hundred households would not spit on him behind his back!

At times like these, hope seems to be dashed, and more misfortunes are waiting in line in the dark of night. The women are angry, frightened, and doubly anxious, and in a hurry, people will find a hole to vent their anger, and Min Yuanqi will be scolded a few times, isn't it quite a normal thing?

Of course, these people will not understand that the conflict between Min Yuanqi and Yang Shida was intentional on his part...... The banner soldiers have lived too hard, and they have been oppressed too hard, and these people have become extremely cowardly and useless under years of hardship. Even if Min Yuanqi has the intention to be a lion, he must first force out the ruthlessness in the bones of his subordinates, without erecting a big enemy, without an enemy, how can he encourage people's morale and truly establish a force that can fight the enemy? According to Min Yuanqi's cognition, in the last days of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty, how could it be possible to keep the money and wealth expensive? Even if you want to flee all the way south and sail out to sea, if you don't have force, you will just be fat on someone else's knife board, and you can just be slaughtered by others......

When he decided not to pay the silver, Min Yuanqi may have been simply angry, and even when he did it, it was an impulsive and emotional decision, but in the past ten days or so, Min Yuanqi had already thought about things quite thoroughly...... Min Qiande sent a letter as early as ten days ago, asking about the matter with Yang Shida, this old man was quite concerned, and Min Yuanqi could feel Min Qiande's concern.

The watchful clan of the clan and the blood relatives are vividly shown in Min Qiande...... Recalling that back then, when Min Yuanqi was forced to move out of the city of a thousand households, he couldn't have a little resentment towards this clan uncle, and now in retrospect, being in a high position in the city to protect the entire family, this thing Min Yuanqi couldn't do back then, and the clan's decision can't be said to be wrong. Min Qiande's letter bluntly said that he wanted to go to Fucheng to try to solve this matter, ask a commander who is close to him, and then make an appointment with a few powerful squires in the local area, and then pay a few hundred silver to Yang Shida, face and benefits, Dahewei is also an army guard, not like a mess of scattered local villages, Min Yuanqi still has an official position, maybe Yang Shida dares to kill officials and rebel? At that time, when the fight started, it was not Yang Shida himself who suffered, but Guan Er and a few other green-skinned gangsters, these people's cheap lives were worthless, and they only injured people and had no lives, and spending a few hundred silver could almost settle the matter......

But Min Qiande did not mention the matter of crossing the river to hand over the silver, the matter is obvious, even Li Kecheng, the ship of a thousand households, has to pay silver, even if Min Gande is entrusted to the level of commander Tongzhi, Yang Shida will take the most compensation of silver to reveal the matter, but the salt ship after that should be handed over to the silver must also be handed over to the silver, and maybe the salt ship of the 300th household will be troubled, and even be added to the cashier......

Min Yuanqi directly declined his uncle's kindness, and told Min Qiande very clearly, whether it is a military household or a child of the Min family, it has been abandoned for too long, if you want to protect yourself in such a troubled world, ambition, ruthlessness and murder are essential...... If you don't have these things, even if you make money, wearing strong armor and holding a sharp blade, in the end it is just to make wedding clothes for others, and it is a disaster for yourself to go through the downtown with gold.

After Min Qiande received the letter, he probably also felt that what Min Yuanqi said was reasonable, and Min Qiande did not ask about it again, since Min Yuanqi had begun to toss a situation, and his will was quite firm, of course, Min Qiande, the clan uncle, could only support it to the end...... Min Yuanqi estimated that the so-called mediation in Fucheng was simply to coax Han Sen, and Min Qiande needed to do this as soon as possible, and now that the two sides have new grievances, how can they succeed in mediation so easily?
