Min Yuanqi pursed his lips, quietly looked at the crowd leaving, and didn't make a sound when he heard the sound of complaining, just stood under the eaves with his hands behind his back, staring into the dark distance.

After about two quarters of an hour, the people had finished complaining, most of the houses had turned off their lights, and the village was silent again.

There was a heavy breathing sound all around, Min Yuanqi looked around and finally smiled.

After many days of meticulous work, all kinds of subtle military discipline and military discipline adjustments, the subtle distribution of food every day, the upcoming threats and prospects of wealth, finally left the group of people in front of them.

Most of the small flag officials under the hundred households remained, only a few old and cowering left, Min Yuanjin and Liang Shifa were arrested, of course, they were not there, and almost all the rest of the small flag officials stayed.

The trained flag army, Xie Xiang and Xu Wenhuan, as well as Guo Shangyi and others stood at the front, Min Yuanzhong's face was pale, but his eyes were extremely firm, although he was afraid of guilt, Shicai's wife also pulled him home, but Min Yuanzhong rarely reprimanded his wife in public, insisted on pressing the knife and stayed, and let his wife cry and leave.

Gao Cuncheng and Yang Zhijin both took their team members and spontaneously lined up in a small team, and after the ordinary flag soldiers and idle people left, all the flag soldiers received their weapons for training...... Zhanger's spear is carried diagonally on the shoulder, even if the night is dark, the head of the snowy and sharp double-bladed spear is still shining in the faint light and moonlight starlight, the sword and shield hands are carrying long cards and rattan cards, holding waist knives in their hands, and some spearmen are holding five-foot spears, this kind of gun is strictly a short gun, and the height of a person is about the same, the emphasis is on small and lightweight, more handy when poking, and the standard of personal martial arts requirements is higher, in Min Yuanqi's view, this kind of gun is best changed to nine feet, which is shorter than the second gun, Nearly half as long as a five-foot gun, it pays more attention to array coordination rather than small maneuvering.

A few flag soldiers were dragged back by their families, although they were reluctant, and there was obvious shame on their faces, but since they were pulled back, it showed that most of them still didn't dare to take risks, although they were ashamed of Min Baihu and their comrades-in-arms who trained together every day, but they finally got out of this big whirlpool, and when those flag soldiers went out, they were obviously relieved......

Min Yuanqi looked at the crowd that stayed, everyone's eyes were looking at him, no one hesitated, he only smiled, and his face was already extremely solemn: "Those who stay know what to do, right?" ”

Xie Xiang was dissatisfied with being robbed of the limelight by Shen Liang just now, and now his face looks angry...... The 300th household is empty? Asked an alien Dengzhou to take the lead and said the words of allegiance and daring to die!

At the moment, he took a step forward and said: "In today's world, if you don't dare to kill, you will wait to be killed, instead of sitting and waiting for death, it is better to follow the hundred households to kill a way, I Xie Xiang is willing to rush forward for the adults today, if you are timid to take a step back when fighting, you will not be a son of man!" ”

Gao Cuncheng said calmly: "I want to follow the adults to make a fortune." ”

Yang Zhijin said: "Today I have a knife in my hand, and I will kill whoever the adult wants." ”

Guo Shangyi continued: "Eat the adult's food, and serve the adult, even if there is anything wrong today, the adult will not let us have worries." ”

This person has the style of a general, Min Yuan glanced at Guo Shangyi with appreciative eyes, and then said: "What Shangyi said is that if Yang Shida fights today, everyone who comes out of the salt pond will have silver money after that, but the knife and gun have no eyes, if anyone has any accident tonight, he is disabled, and hundreds of households will raise him to death, and he will receive money and food every month, we can't be like the imperial court to the battalion soldiers, if he is disabled, he will be left aside and ignored, it is too damn lacking in morality, and even the human taste is gone." I did things for me, and when something happened, I was naturally in my pocket. In addition, if you really lose your life, you will be treated as a small flag official in the future, until your wife dies and your children grow up and start a household! ”

Those present were truly relieved this time.

"Let's go." Min Yuanqi said what should be said, and the morale does not need to be agitated anymore, the people who stay are all people who are willing to work hard, and there are no worries, and today's battle can be fought.

Min Yuanzhong on the side said: "Yang Shida and his gang usually live in Shuiguan River House, and boats are not allowed to pass by every day as soon as they wipe the Heihe River, and the green-skinned scoundrels drive the boat back and forth. Yang Shida and Guan Er and his gang drank and played money and had fun in the river house every day, and they made a miasma of smoke, which everyone in the four towns and towns knew...... If they all gather together, there are about 100 people, but every day there are not all people, and there are people who go out to run errands, go home or leave for something, and normally there are always seventy or eighty people living in the river house compound. Let's take an empty boat, it's been a southwest wind for the past few days, the wind is in the right direction, and then keep holding the boat to accelerate, and I estimate that it will be almost ...... when it passes."

These words were also Min Yuanqi's previous confession, and Min Yuanzhong did not continue when he said this, because Min Yuanqi did not continue to explain the details.

Min Yuanqi said in a deep voice: "The river house is there, we only need to sit firmly in our hearts: even if there are hundreds of them, there is no retreat, and we must rescue people." ”

That is to say, in this battle, saving people is the main thing, and the rest of the things are secondary.

Min Yuanqi's attitude also made the evaluation of the hundred household officials by the people present go to a higher level...... If Min Yuanqi is mainly to kill people, the plan must be changed, if it is mainly to save people, then when rushing to the area of the river house, you must first spy on it to see where the people are locked up, if they are not locked up in the river house, you have to stop the pace and try to find out where the people are locked, so as not to startle the snake and ruin the lives of Min Yuanjin and Liang Shifa and others......

On the surface, these salt lords seem to be lifting salt patrols and inspecting local private salt, but Yang Shida and his gang don't know how many people's fat and ointment they have looted in this name, this is still a trivial matter, bullying men and women, committing many illegal acts, and even secretly looting and killing people is difficult to say. This group of people is rampant in the township, and the third-class officials in those counties, no matter what fast class and strong class, which class leader dares to go to the countryside and Yang Juda can't get by? The classic history of the counties, the county and the like, as well as the local Lizheng Township Elders, everyone is a gentry, as long as Yang Shida ignores them, why should they come out to be villains, Yang Shida is messing around again, and dare to offend those real wealthy families?

Yang Shida has Yang Shili and Yang Shiyong and other brothers of the same clan, Yang Shili is a famous big salt lord in Yancheng, Yang Shiyong is a big pirate, Yancheng is a thousand miles away, a county town is almost five or six county town boundaries, in addition to some areas close to the county seat, many places are the paradise of pirates and salt lords. They gathered there to become bandits, boiled illicit salt and sold it, robbed the people, and did all the evil at the same time to strengthen themselves, with such a strong background, there are few people who dare to provoke Yang Shida, and it also makes this person ruthless, killing Wang Sanyi, most of the hundred households, will not be released, at most they will be released after a humiliation, but it is very possible to kill a few banner troops without a foundation, if they raid the river house first and fail to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, they angered Yang Shida, Min Yuanjin and Liang Shifa and others, and most of their lives will not be guaranteed.

Everyone began to go out as a team, Han Sen stood under the eaves for a while, Min Yuanqi arranged, the whole team, everyone fought a good line, brought a good weapon, no one asked him about this general flag in the process, and Min Yuanqi did not consult Han Sen's opinion...... Although Han Sen is here.

Han Sen didn't hesitate for long, and almost as soon as everyone went out in the whole team, Han Sen followed in stride.

Min Yuanzhong tilted his mouth and said with a smile: "The general flag is also coming?" ”

Han Sen said with a cold face: "If I don't come, you may not be better at handling ships than Lao Tzu." ”

Everyone laughed when they heard this, it is true, Min Yuanqi has not gone north in the past two years, and the annual task of transporting troops is to start in February and return in October, and the round trip of 3,000 miles is all by water, in terms of repairing and maintaining the ship and controlling the boat, the people present are indeed not as experienced as Han Sen.

Min Yuanqi looked at Han Sen and said in a deep voice: "Let's get on the boat today, it will be difficult to get out in the future, has Mr. Han thought clearly?" ”

Han Sen said with a depressed face: "I have thought clearly, from now on, only the hundred households will be the first to look forward!" ”

Min Yuanqi chuckled lightly and patted Han Sen's shoulder, this general flag had always had the idea of replacing it, or putting Min Yuanqi's hundred households in the air, but now after ten days of hard work, Han Sen probably saw the gap between himself and Min Yuanqi, and was already willing to be loyal at this time.

Min Yuanqi took a deep breath, with some satisfaction and pride in his heart, and at the same time remained vigilant...... The support and support of everyone in front of us still need to find ways to motivate and even oppress, and only the daily management, training, logistical support, and military discipline and military law constraints, imperceptibly for a long time, can reach the point where they give military orders in their mouths and their subordinates do not care about serving themselves to the death.

In order to achieve the long-term goal, you must persist in doing such things, and you must not be complacent and slack!

……

The night sky was filled with a faint milky white, and at the end of February, the moon had only a curved half-string, but the moonlight was very bright, and the road out of the village was faintly recognizable.

The road is about to accommodate two chicken buses in parallel, the middle is concave, the two sides are uneven, the ordinary flag army is hundreds, there is a road to go is good, how can anyone seriously repair.

Both sides of the road are overgrown with weeds, and there are small yards left in front of each house, which can dry the millet and bedding at home, most of the houses have no courtyard walls, and the houses are all thatched houses built with rammed earth with straw, and even the roofs and walls are light yellow, and some of the houses are obviously crooked, which makes people worry about whether they will collapse suddenly...... Even such a house is also the root of the banner army, and this simple thatched rammed earth house is also repaired by the family belongings accumulated by the ancestors with great pains...... If you want to sell five taels of silver, it is not worth it, and a small courtyard with two wings in Huai'an Mansion City is worth forty taels, not to mention this kind of rammed earth house in the countryside?

When more than 40 people passed by, the people in the house clearly heard the movement, and some men of the banner army came out and watched silently, while the women hurriedly pulled the men back into the house, lest the men in charge of the house impulsively carry firewood knives or shovels and shovels to follow.

The road out of the village is less than a mile, and there are several tall mulberry trees at the west end of the village, which will be full of mulberries in a few months, and it is the most popular place for adults and children to play. At this time, the moonlight casts on the ground through the sparse branches and leaves, the breeze blows, the branches sway, and the reflection on the ground is like a monster with teeth and claws.

After more than ten days of training, people feel that their bodies are more powerful, and they are more proficient in making moves, and they are full of confidence in their skills and companions around them.

Especially when people peeked at Min Yuanqi, they saw Min Yuanqi's tall figure walking on the side of the front of the team, and the young Baihu official also changed into a short military robe, the cuffs of this military robe were tight, the hem was very short, it was easy to call people to shoot arrows and get up and down the war horse, and the feet were also entwined with ordinary flag troops...... On Min Yuanqi's side was hanging a Qi knife, which he pressed with his broad palm, and hung obediently on his right waist.

Min Yuanqi's courage, skills, and the talent of the commander that has been shown these days are all very admirable, otherwise how could Han Sen, who has always held real power in a hundred households and also thinks highly of himself, be willing to follow, and say everything about manipulating the boat and oars!
