Xu San glanced at the yellow camel, and the two of them helped Lao Er to walk back.

I didn't want the old man to be on crutches, and scolded: "You two boys really treat the old man as deaf? In the dead of night, which one along the street hasn't been woken up by you? ”

Speaking of this, the old man shouted angrily: "Those along the street, don't hide behind the door to watch the excitement, it's those boys from the Yamen Zhuang class, come out." ”

So with the constant "squeak" of the door opening, a street less than two miles was full of people.

These people, those are all people who have gone south through the Qing army and served as slaves of the country.

War is no stranger to them.

In fact, they had already heard the sound of gunfire as early as daytime, and when the time came, there was a round of feints outside the city, and it would be strange if they could sleep tonight.

Xu San and Huang Huozi killed the six people, and the people hid behind their gates, peeking out, but they couldn't see the faces clearly, and thought that Qiang Liang had entered the city to rob and kill people.

But later, Xu San, Huang Huozi and others spoke, just not far from the gate of the chief's house, and in the dead of night, the voice spread far away.

was heard by the man of the chief's family and told the old man.

There is this scene in front of me.

Xu San was really anxious at this time, he hurriedly said: "What are you doing, the enemy will come and ......." ”

Lao Er pointed at Xu San and said, "Little Sanzi, do you think that according to what you said, dying on this street will make the old man praise you for being good?" Stupid! ”

scolded this stupidity, Lao Er said to the yellow camel: "But Xu San is not wrong in what he said, you kid use those on the battlefield on your own land, aren't you afraid that your father, who has been dead for many years, will beat you with a flat shoulder?" ”

Xu San, Huang Huozi and the others didn't even dare to say anything, but they can imagine that in this world, these elders and patriarchs are the real masters.

Even if the county order is in person, you have to respectfully call "you old".

The old man raised his hand and wiped the white foam that remained on his mouth, "Little Fifth Son, tell all the families that the women and those over fifty and under the age of fourteen leave, and those who have no brothers in the family will go to the direction of Xicheng to ......." ”

Xu San and Huang Huozi were stunned, and hurriedly stopped: "Li Zheng, this is not appropriate, so many people will be discovered by the enemy." ”

The old man paused his crutches and said, "Lao Er is not confused yet!" ”

He turned back to the man next to him and said, "Little Wuzi, tell all families that they are not allowed to light lights, do not make sounds, go quietly, and do not take any luggage with them...... The men who stayed behind stayed in their own homes and listened to Xu San's orders ....... ”

Speaking of this, Lao Er turned around and said, "Little third son, does the yamen have swords, bows and crossbows?" ”

Xu San hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes, yes...... There is a lot in the storeroom. ”

Lao Er threw his cane and hit Xu San's calf, "Then you kid is still stunned, why don't you move here and distribute it quickly?" ”

Xu San and Huang Huozi looked at each other and said, "Li Zheng, let's fight this battle in order not to let the Qing court work hard to transport the goods from the wharf." ”

"What's the dock?"

Xu San was so anxious that he stomped his feet, "Zheng Youde colluded with the Qing court to buy a large number of firearms in the south and piled them up at the dock, at this time Zheng Youde was arrested by Lord Jiang, and the Qing court saw that the matter was exposed, and it was very likely to escape from the canal with the goods." ”

The old man was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and said, "It's not difficult. ”

Turning his head to another man beside him, he said: "Xiangzi, go, tell the old Zhang Tou at the dock, just say that I said, there are Tartar spies on the dock, let him be steady, don't be in a hurry to bring people to transport goods." ”

Then he turned his head and squinted at Xu San and said, "Boy, who does the old head of the dock know, right?" ”

Where there are people, there will be people together.

A Silk Wharf has hundreds of porters, so naturally there are people in groups.

First, you will not be bullied by your employer, and second, you will not be robbed of your job by outsiders.

And Lao Zhangtou is the leader of these porters.

Xu Sanyile didn't even have time to reply, so he turned his head and ran towards the yamen, shouting as he ran: "Ergen, Xiaozhu, bring someone back to the yamen with me." ”

The yellow camel looked at the old man and said, "Li Zheng, this is a fight, it is likely that people will die, and many people will die." You've really figured it out? ”

The old man said he: "Little camel, don't think that you dare to brag in front of Lao Er after fighting a few battles outside...... Let me tell you, when the Japanese were rampant, your grandfather and I were both people who received a monthly salary of one or two or five cents. Today's thieves, if it weren't for my age, otherwise, there would be for you. ”

The posture and momentum of speaking, there is really no one else.

The salary of one or two or five cents a month, in the Ming Dynasty, was a scorpion - the only one.

It is said that Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou recruited Zhejiang soldiers when they were fighting against the Japanese in Jiangnan.

The military households of the Ming Dynasty were unpaid, and the soldiers recruited were only one tael per month, and when they were actually distributed to the soldiers, they did not exceed six yuan at most.

But the Zhejiang soldiers recruited by Qi Jiguang at that time were really paid one or two or five dollars a month, which was one of the main reasons for the strong combat power of the Zhejiang soldiers.

Therefore, the yellow camel listened to the old man's bragging, but he was speechless for a while.

Lao Er paused his crutches proudly, "Little camel, Lao Er won't leave today, just watch you in the house...... Tell the little third son, command well, if he loses, Lao Er will beat his ass with a cane. ”

The dense crowd of people along the street disappeared in an instant, as if they had never appeared.

This is the majesty of the lieutenant chief and the patriarch, which is beyond the reach of ordinary officials.

……。

Jiang Quanyi was taken aback when he learned from Xu San that the people were going to join the war.

He had seen this army that said it was a nursing home, but it was actually a Qing army.

If it was just a rabble, he would have led a hundred government soldiers to the docks.

Let hundreds of people fight this battle of the enemy and my outnumbered, Jiang Quanyi couldn't bear it, because the gate had been blocked, Jiang Quanyi turned out of the wall with a rope and went to see Na Xu Lichang.

"Lizheng, it's not appropriate to do this." Jiang Quanyi expressed his intentions directly, "If Li Zheng has the heart to contribute to the country, then let the people enter the yamen and help the officials fight against the Tartars, so as to ensure the safety of the people." ”

Old man Xu shook his head and said: "The old man knows the general's good intentions, but as the little camel said, if there are no people along the street, I am afraid that the Tartars will not be fooled." Besides, the wall of the yamen can't accommodate so many people at all, even if the villagers are allowed to enter, it will make a strong momentum, which is useless for defense, and it is not as useful as outside. ”

is worthy of being a veteran, and a few words point out Jiang Quanyi's embarrassment.

Indeed, this battle is very difficult to fight, and it was fought ruthlessly, not to mention that there are 400 people in Xicheng, let's just say that in addition to the 100 people of the Yamen who were annihilated, there are more than 300 people under Chen Hongfan's command, and these more than 300 people are veterans of the Han Eight Banners who have been trained on the battlefield.

If you really want to rush to the yamen, with your own 100 soldiers and more than 100 people, it is obviously a great disadvantage.

In fact, Jiang Quanyi agreed with the idea of the yellow camel planting gunpowder in the street, blowing up the enemy to the ground and then besieging it, which is in line with the art of war.
