Min Qiande came to his senses, there is a salt pond here to make profits, and the rumor has long been spread, he spent money to Min Yuanqi to make this deputy thousand households, one is that Min Yuanqi's identity is different from the general hundred households, there must always be high and low, so that it is convenient for Min Yuanqi to deal with hundreds of households. The second is the rise of official positions, and those who secretly make up their minds will always have a little fear considering Min Yuanqi's strength and official position.

If you report the robbery now, whether it is Huaiyang Road, or Huai'an Mansion, or a guest general, once you know that there are a large number of salt ponds here, and a large amount of refined salt is produced every day, I am afraid that you will directly bring one or two thousand soldiers and horses to garrison it, so that although there is no trouble of pirates and bandits, the benefits of the salt pond can only be handed over.

"I'm old and confused." Min Qiande's back was wet with sweat, he held Min Yuan's hand, and said in a deep voice: "Then we can only rely on ourselves." ”

"Uncle, don't worry." Min Yuanqi smiled and said: "The bandits are useless, and the Haikou are not the opponents of my elite banner army, even if they come, they will not return." ”

……

The news that bandits and pirates were about to attack spread throughout the Baihu and Yanchi construction sites before dark.

There was a slight commotion in the hearts of the people, and there were some older and timid people who wanted to leave after receiving food before evening, Min Yuanqi heard the news and ordered Han Sen to take the pacifiers to the bomb press.

A few hundred households stood by the construction site, frowning and discussing, they were afraid of the large bandits and pirates, but they were reluctant to ask them to give up everything they had now.

These salt ponds, which are expected to succeed, have given hundreds of households great hope and expectation. Although the later hundreds of households did not take as many benefits as Wang Sanyi and Li Guoding, Min Yuanqi also communicated with them, once the later salt pond was successful, then they would get a lot of benefits, provided that they could not exploit the military households under the hundreds of households who came to do things.

This is also the reason why Min Yuanqi insisted on distributing grain by himself, and he also planned to have sufficient grain reserves after a while, and after each family also received a certain base of grain, he changed the grain distribution to pay money, and it is estimated that the wage will be higher than the grain distribution, and if each hundred households have benefits, plus the money is directly distributed to each person, it is quite difficult to snatch the money out of the hands of poor military households, which not only ensures that all officials have benefits, but also enables military households to receive sufficient money and food, and guarantees the morale of the army.

"When I received the grain, I said that no one was allowed to leave until the salt pond was successful." Han Sen glanced at the hundreds of officials, and did not take these people seriously, and the guard was not purely based on the level of the official position, but also on the strength of the final word. With the strength of Min Yuanqi in his hands now, although many banner troops are not family members, in fact, they have always been distributing food and training according to the standards of family members, and with the force of more than 400 people, even if the commander of the guard does not have to pay attention to it, let alone a few hundred household officials.

Han Sen stood on the south side of the salt pond, a group of military households carrying grain on their backs wanted to leave, there were people from all hundred households, after being stopped by Han Sen, everyone looked at each other, and a military household in his forties stepped forward and said with a smile: "Han Zongqi, we are all old, and it is useless for bandits to come, it is better to let us go back, everyone is a villager in Benwei, why do you have to do something desperately." ”

Han Sen said angrily: "If you let you go now, it will shake the morale of the army, everyone will come if they want to, and leave if they want to, what rules are you talking about?" ”

"It's just a job, what kind of Huangzi is Zhen Zhenfu?"

"Hit this shit!"

Han Sen is a military suppressor, and any disputes between the Yanchi construction site and the shack living area will also be suppressed by him, which has really offended many people these days. He was accompanied by a few calming soldiers with sticks, the rules in the barracks were heavy, once the flag army disobeyed the order, the consequences would be very serious, and the suppression was enough to suppress the army, but these people from hundreds of households said that it was the banner army, in fact, it was no different from the people, and the people who had long been unpleasant to Han Sen's rules were very present, at this time, everyone was clamoring, dozens of people rushed up, and they didn't dare to do anything to Han Sen, they only insulted and pushed, and several of the pacification soldiers were overwhelmed by the flow of people, pushed to the ground, and were beaten very badly.

Several hundreds of households were shocked when they saw it, and hurriedly ran over to suppress it, but in such a mess, there were already as many as 100 people.

When Min Yuanqi heard about it and rushed to Yanchi's side, even if he didn't have a good face for Li Guoding and Wang Sanyi, he only said to Han Sen: "From now on, those who want to leave don't have to be stopped, and those who run away today must be searched and remembered for their names, and they will never be hired again." ”

The flag army is unbearable, and the guard is erosive, this is something that Min Yuanqi has known for a long time, but he didn't expect that the morale of the army and the people would collapse to such a point, there is food and drink here, and he treats everyone well, and now it seems that he still has to be restrained by rules, otherwise, the ethereal thing of the people's heart and the army's heart is really unreliable.

After dark, dozens of people left one after another, and the hearts of the rest were also fluctuating, and those who did not leave were not bold or loyal to Min Yuanqi, but they were really reluctant to give up the four liters of food every day.

But as the wind gets worse, there will be more and more people leaving, although food is important, but everyone has saved a lot here for more than ten days, in addition, the weather is getting hotter, wild vegetables and wild fruits are increasing, people with a small amount of grain and wild vegetables to cook porridge, has been able to easily survive the last bit of spring famine, if there is really a large group of bandits to come, although it is a good thing to earn food, but it is impossible for people to be willing to lose their lives, there are really pirates and bandits, it is estimated that more than ninety percent of people will choose to leave.

After dark, there was also chaos in the barracks.

A sturdy banner army, nearly six feet tall, much taller than Min Yuanqi and others, originally a little thin, after eating in the camp for more than ten days, he put meat on his face and body, and looked burly and fierce.

This person wanted to quietly leave the camp after having dinner after dark, but because of the alarm, the school barracks strengthened the control, and temporarily sent an additional team of patrols, this person was caught when he left the camp, but he was not convinced, and shouted in the camp until he alarmed Min Yuanqi and all the military attaches in the camp, and rushed to the camp gate to deal with this emergency.

This person also shook his breath, pointed to the southeast direction and said: "Dozens of people have walked from the banner army of hundreds of households, why can't I go?" ”

Min Yuanzhong stepped forward and said angrily: "Those are the laborers, you are a trained banner army, how can it be the same?" ”

The flag army sneered: "Aren't they also flag troops? I received two more liters of food, but every day here I trained hard like cattle and horses, and I was beaten with a military stick if I made a mistake, but I worked much harder than them. ”

This person is crooked, and he can actually say it, and the banner troops gathered around him saw and heard it, most of them showed angry faces, and less than half of them were also bewitched by it, and some people exchanged words, feeling that what this person said seemed to be not completely unreasonable.

The training of the trained flag army is really hard, swords, spears, bows and arrows, in recent days, they have also trained in batches to shoot bird guns and fire door guns, practice their skills hard every day, and they have to understand the golden drum and understand the flag, and the slightest mistake was beaten by the soldiers to cry wolf.

But this is a typical concept of stealing, hard training, of course, to go into battle, how can it be offset by the food and salary received because of the hard training?

Min Yuanqi laughed angrily, in fact, the military heart is much more stable than the people's hearts on the periphery, after all, at the beginning of the camp, he knew that the soldiers who entered the camp were trained to fight, and they were completely different from the civilians, and Min Yuanqi personally distributed food, trained together every day, and ended his kindness early.

At this point, Min Yuanqi also had a slight understanding, he was blindly gracious before this, and the military camp was controlled by details, and the punishment was at most military sticks and confinement, people may be a little grateful to themselves, but they were not afraid of panic, as the chief general of the first army, Enwei still had to be used together.

At the moment, look at the left and right, Min Yuanjin, Min Yuanzhong, as well as Gao Cuncheng, Yang Zhijin, Han Sen and other confidants and military attaches are full of anger, and the flag captain, Shen Liang, Wang Wumai, Li Junxun, as well as Xie Xiang and Guo Shangyi, Xu Wenhuan and others also stood by the sword.

Many warriors showed fierce eyes, and pressed their swords to surround the flag army that was about to escape, and the man was also a little flustered, looked left and right, and suddenly muttered: "If you don't leave, I won't go, okay?" ”

Min Yuanqi looked left and right and said to Han Sen: "This person fled when he heard the enemy in the camp, how should he be punished?" ”

Han Sen said: "There is no complete law and camp rules in this camp, if according to the military system of the Ming Guard, those who flee three times in the banner army will be hanged." If the flag army flees in front of the battle, behead. Those who make noise in the camp will be beheaded, and those who will confuse the people with gossip and disturb the morale of the army will be beheaded! ”

Every time Han Sen said a word, the face of the banner army turned a little pale, and he looked around unconsciously, this person was from the ninth hundredth household, and there were many people from the same hundred households in the camp, and the banner army said loudly: "Brothers, let me be bullied by outsiders?" The people of their 300th household can be at the mercy of us at will? ”

Saying this, many banner soldiers were also a little hesitant, Min Yuanqi knew that he could not delay any longer, and immediately said to Shen Liang: "Shen Liang, cut off other people's heads!" ”

Shen Liang had already prepared, pounced forward, the flag army subconsciously reached forward and wanted to grab Shen Liang, Shen Liang put the prepared mud in his hand to the other party's face, the man sighed, his face and eyes were full of dust, Shen Liang stepped forward, kicked this person between his knees, and everyone else heard the click of a bone crack, the flag army was tall and strong, it was difficult for ordinary people to subdue him, but at this time, it was a miserable howl, and he had to half-kneel on the ground, Shen Liang drew the knife in his hand, did not hesitate at all, and pushed his elbow forward along the blade, Everyone saw that the strong man was still howling and begging for mercy in the first breath, and in the next breath his head had already fallen to the ground, and when the blood in his neck was still gushing, the man's head had already rolled on the ground many times, and his hair and face were covered with dust.

This time the army is solemn, Min Yuanqi has always been generous and benevolent, to the salt pond workers and miscellaneous workers, as well as the flag army are generous, never delay when sending food, everyone feels his virtue and kindness, plus the military regulations are bound, the military camp is also considered orderly, so far there is this flag army left without permission, Min Yuanqi categorically disposed of it, when the head of the flag army landed, the flag army was shocked, knowing that the barracks, after all, it was not the salt pond construction site.
