Chapter 51: Dissolution
In the cheers, Han Sen got up with a smile, took Min Yuanzhong and a few people to support the long pole, and gently leaned the boat against the shore.
The flag army is the best at this matter, and the round-trip distance of thousands of miles is to support the boat and pull the fiber, and these jobs have been burned into their bones like scars.
After this hard work, many people's hearts have risen, at least for a long time, no one will dare to embarrass these guards, and although the seizure is quite limited, it is possible to buy hundreds of stone grain, at least in two or three months, people no longer have to worry about having no food to eat, and will not be hungry again.
Moreover, the weather is gradually getting warmer, picking wild vegetables, fishing, these jobs can make up for the lack of food, and the good days seem to be not far ahead, beckoning to everyone enthusiastically.
When approaching the wharf, the sharp-eyed people had already seen the people standing on the shore in the dark, and saw the flag soldiers coming back with all their beards and tails, and as soon as the big ship landed, the sound of chanting Buddha had already sounded on the shore.
People in this age are actually not good at expressing emotions. Yes, suffering has long worn out their original temperament, and there may still be people crying, jumping, and laughing naughtily when they are children, but even when children grow up to six or seven years old, the burden and suffering of life will weigh on them little by little.
Giving up the small amount of food to the younger brothers and sisters, carrying heavy baskets to pick up sheep feces and chicken manure, collecting pigweed, and helping in the field to do some chores...... If the wind and rain are smooth, and the food paid to the officials of the health center, and then to the thousands of households, and then the grain grain, you can leave a few catties of polished rice and white flour during the New Year, cut a catty or two of pork, and you can make a new dress for your mother-in-law when you go to relatives...... That would be a great good year, and it would be worth reminiscing for many years.
The life of the banner army of the guard is more difficult than that of ordinary households, the life of the households before the middle of Wanli is quite good, after the opening of the sea, the trade is prosperous, and the economic vitality of the south of the Yangtze River can also radiate to the north of the Yangtze River, everyone is easy to get work, it is easy to make money, the price is not expensive, not to mention the New Year's holidays, it is not difficult for the greedy ordinary people to eat a meal of meat every other day.
After the middle of Wanli, people's lives are difficult, prices are expensive, money is expensive and silver is cheap, natural disasters are frequent, at the end of Wanli, more because of the eastern affairs, Liao Liao was levied, and after the apocalypse, there was an uprising of displaced people in northern Shaanxi, and many provinces were troubled, and then levied and suppressed wages during the Chongzhen period...... The people are getting poorer and poorer, people are pressed to the waist, these chanting Buddha voices in front of them are solemn and solemn, there is no lack of joy, the flag soldiers and their families, can express the joy and excitement, probably that's it.
Many of the flag soldiers who followed the expedition were full of tears, and when the big ship stopped, some people subconsciously wanted to jump off the boat, but they suddenly woke up, stood up, and turned their heads to look at their own trial hundred households.
Min Yuanqi also stood up, looked at the situation in front of him, and said to the flag army: "My Ming Dynasty is now in chaos in the world, not only local green-skinned wanderers, foreign guest soldiers, rogue soldiers, bandits, sea bandits, no matter how honest people are, sooner or later they may encounter, if you want to go home safely every time, you can see your relatives, and you want your relatives to be safe, for men, you must study martial arts diligently, practice hard swords and guns, and protect yourself, so as to protect your family." Our salt pond has been stored for drying salt, and there will be a good harvest in the future, who is not worried about it? If you want to keep your wealth and peace, you still need to firmly hold the knife and gun in your hand, dare to fight and dare to kill, no matter who committed, you will respond to him with a knife and gun! I hope you will remember today's words...... Queue up and disembark! ”
"Listen to your lordship." Han Sen clenched his fists and saluted, and said: "From now on, the entire hundred households will follow the adults to study and practice hard, which one dares not to come, which one dares to be lazy, I, Han, will be the first to let him go." ”
"We listen to all the adults."
"What the adults say is that the villains will never dare to slack off!"
Although the many banner soldiers were quite confused when they answered, their tones were calm and powerful, revealing the will and determination of everyone. If before this time, everyone's training was only for the four liters of food a day, from today onwards, everything is different.
Last night's battle was a vivid lesson to the flag army and opened up a new world, and from then on, everyone's mind pattern will be very different, at least, the trust and respect for Min Yuanqi will be fully displayed at this moment.
Wang Sanyi has always sat on the bow of the boat with squinted eyes, this hundred households who are over fifty years old have lost energy, although they have not been beaten in the two days they have been tied up and imprisoned, they have suffered a lot, and it is also a hard thing to ride the boat all night, so it is not surprising that Wang Sanyi's difficulties and malaise are not surprising.
But outsiders don't know that under Wang Sanyi's calm surface, his heart is turbulent!
The next life in front of him, Min Yuanqi, is the most peculiar military attache Wang Sanyi has seen in the past few decades, taking out his own grain reserves to train soldiers, using his own silver to build a salt pond, daring to fight and kill, killing people and setting fires, which is not surprising for many reckless or brutal military attachés, but while killing people and setting fires, they use the benefits of the salt pond to divide everyone, arouse everyone's common interests and protect the hearts of the same enemy, which is quite unusual and extraordinary.
Wang Sanyi has never seen such a person in the past few decades.
The military attachés of the guards, some are greedy for money, some are lustful, some do not like to work, they like to be comfortable, some like acres of land, some love mansions, some are good at drilling, and some can endure hardships, and work hard to go north and south. In the past few decades, Wang Sanyi, a military attache from the third or fourth rank to the fifth or sixth grade, has seen a lot, each with its own strengths and weaknesses.
But like Min Yuanqi, who was previously unknown and distinctive, at most he was a young reckless man with a family tradition of martial arts, and a person with a reputation and even a slippery and wandering person, how could he suddenly change so much?
In terms of decisiveness, people were detained to Min Yuanqi to kill him, and it took less than two days to gather the total.
On ruthlessness, killing people and burning houses, no one is left, this ruthless heart Tian Wang Sanyi can't do it if he asks himself.
On wisdom, from Yanchi to persuading Zhu Shaodong, the owner of Huai'an Mansion, and then training the flag army in advance to prepare for the very, this shrewd and cautious, anticipatory plan, Wang Sanyi is already in his fifties, and he is far from being cautious compared to Min Yuanqi!
In addition, there are grain distribution to military households and artisan households, and to the trained flag army, who are kind to others, and must believe in their words, this kindness and honesty are also far beyond the reach of ordinary people......
Wang Sanyi smashed his mouth, turned his head and glanced at Min Yuanqi, could it be that he was wrong, he was dizzy last night, and the future life in front of him will not only not cause trouble in the future, but will not be a thing in the pool?
……
After the ship stopped, Min Yuanzhong, Gao Cuncheng, and Yang Zhijin were in the front, and then Shen Liang, Xie Xiang, Xu Wenhuan, and Guo Shangyi were behind, followed by Min Yuanqi, and then down were spearmen and gunners, boring handlers and firefighters.
The lightly wounded also stood behind the firefighters, and only two of the more seriously wounded were supported by the firefighters and the boring handles.
Everyone lined up in a neat queue and walked down from the gangplank one after another.
There are four or five hundred people in a large crowd, about this hundred households stay in the village and do not go out, or the people who can get up have gone to the river bank to wait, dozens of middle-aged men and try one hundred households plus another general flag, this is the essence of the entire hundred households, once there is any bad result, this hundred households village will not be able to turn over for about several decades......
Originally, people were chanting Buddha to return to their spirits, but when they saw the flag soldiers getting off the boat in unison, the originally boiling scene suddenly quieted down again.
The sword and card bearer, the team officer, the hundred household officer, the spearman, the short gunner, the boring handle, the armor of the armor walk in the front, and the unarmored walk behind.
Although the team is not clearly divided according to height, shortness, fat and thin, but in fact, the knife players and pikemen are tall and strong, which makes the team take the lead before they come down, the rows of big men have cold faces, although their faces are a little pleasant and vaguely happy, but before the military order is issued, the flag soldiers are still according to Min Yuanqi's rules, honestly move forward and then stand solemnly, that is, after everyone gets off the boat, the queue is also neatly arranged, and after the swing is solemn and orderly, the swords and guns are like a forest, and the cold light is dazzling, After this neat and solemn army appeared in front of everyone's eyes, the originally loose and messy crowd suddenly seemed to be frozen by something...... People didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, and even those who made a wish quickly put their hands down. Most of the people present were adult men and women, and it was too early for children to get up...... The old people woke up early, and almost all the old people in the village who had lived past 60 were present.
There were a few rare old men who were too old, their eyes were blinking all the time, and they looked at the people around them from time to time, and then went to look at the solemn banner army.
Although they have lived in this world for more than 70 years, the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, the seventh year of the Apocalypse, and the forty-eighth year of Wanli, these years of the Emperor Ming and the time like water have crossed over them, they have their backs on their backs, and they can't see a single black hair with gray hair, and they are almost as bad as their teeth, their eyes are dizzy, their minds are dizzy, and in this era of lack of medical treatment and lack of nutrition, it can be called a miracle that they can live to this age, and it can only be said that their physical fitness is far beyond ordinary people, That's how you can live to this miraculous age.
Some of them were born in the Longqing period, some were born in the early years of Wanli, and some experienced the trouble of the Japanese when they were young, and saw a large number of battalions and soldiers transferred from all directions, and saw how the five earthen cities that were prepared for the Japanese were built and how they were abandoned. I also saw the general of the guard, the commander riding a big horse, surrounded by dozens of elite soldiers whistling around, that is the most elite soldiers and horses that these veterans of the guard have ever seen in their lives...... But even those soldiers who prepared for the Japanese battalion back then, when it came to the neatness of the army and the solemn aura in front of them, it was far from the same!
There was suddenly such a strong army in front of him, and the faces were all familiar faces, but the standing posture, that look, the murderous aura of the dozens of people gathered together, looked like the familiar children of the Weisho Banner Army, but when they gathered together, these old people were confused, how could these people have such earth-shaking changes?
Many people counted with their fingers, from the time Min Yuanqi started training to the present, it took less than 20 days to get together, how could he train these familiar faces to look like they are now?
"Every man disbanded, every man returned to his house." Min Yuanqi looked around, there was silence, even those women who missed their families didn't dare to come up, he smiled, waved his hand and said, "Don't practice for a day off today, continue tomorrow morning." The injured are relieved to recuperate at home, the medical money will be paid by me, and the food will be distributed every day, until the injury is completely healed, okay, let's get out of here! ”
After the last laugh and scolding, the banner soldiers who had long been anxious cheered, except for a few firefighters and boring handlers who carried the wounded and sent the wounded home honestly, the rest of the banner soldiers walked to the village surrounded by their families.
The smell of blood on many people is still very strong, and their robes are wet with blood, but according to Min Yuanqi's instructions beforehand, all the flag troops kept silent, neither to say whether they really attacked Yang Shida and Guan Er's group at night, nor to say the specific battle process, anyway, Min Yuanjin and Liang Shifa both appeared alive in front of everyone, what was the specific process in advance, what was the result, let these flag soldiers and their families guess......
Anyway, Min Yuanqi's prestige is enough, as long as the banner soldiers don't go out and talk nonsense, and don't talk about the details of their families, even if there are officials who symbolically come to pretend to investigate, there will be no real trouble......
