Chapter 49: This is a bit of a villain
"General, please fill this cup."
In a room with simple and comfortable furnishings, although it is already night, the summer heat and the sound of distant calls form a unique summer atmosphere.
There was a small banquet in the room, three women, surrounded by a man, while the other man sat across from him, smiling and laughing.
It is obvious that the man sitting there is currying favor with the man opposite, the three women, first the two women on the left and the other on the right, are feeding the man food and wine, and behind him, there is another woman who is pinching his shoulder and knocking his back.
This person who was served like this is a small officer in Wu Sangui's army, who seems to have a low position, but his spirit is tight, at this time it is the spring breeze when he is proud, and the three women around him, although they can only be said to be conservative in later generations, but their clothes and posture are basically an identity in this era: Sister Yao.
The man sitting opposite him said, "General, this time I am still thanks to you for taking care of it, and I thank you very much for the little one." ”
"No thanks, no thanks."
That man was just an ordinary farmer before, and after being recruited into the Wu army, he became a petty officer, but in the past few months, he was still cautious, but in the past few days, isn't he about to start destroying the Tartars in Liaodong, Li Xiangqian is ready to reward the three armies, have a big meal and drink, and have a good meal.
A large number of ingredients, such as rice or other salt, can also be transported by spaceship, and all kinds of fish, spices, and wine are naturally not so troublesome, and it is better to let people sell them directly.
At least 30,000 regular troops and the 70,000 or 80,000 Eight Banner soldiers should be fed, even if the Eight Banners soldiers only eat half of it, if one person eats one pound of meat and drinks half a pound of wine, it is dozens of pigs, hundreds of jars of wine, and all kinds of non-staple food, which is definitely not simple.
Rice bags, vegetable baskets, meat cases, the three major food projects, can be said to be the cornerstone of the 21st century Chinese dietary security, but these things, in this era is not ah, if you want to eat meat, you have to be donkey dealers, pig dealers, go to the village to visit households, go to those pig villagers, bargain, buy back, and then send to fixed customers, but also to fight ruffians, all kinds of gods, hard work to send to the place, it can be described as not easy.
Of course, Li Xiangqian and others have no time to take care of these things, they have the enemy of Liaodong to deal with, so they just bid for it, as long as the quality is passable, there is no water meat, mixed with water and wine, then it is a little higher than the market price, they can also be patient, in fact, because a large number of military guys suddenly appeared here, it has driven the prices in the surrounding areas to rise.
During this period, there was naturally the emergence of power rent-seeking, but the problem was not big, at least no one dared to play tricks on the quality of things.
"You have to get the sheep as soon as possible, and preferably a big fat sheep with strong flesh, and the brothers are about to pull it out, can you not eat a good meal?"
Sitting in front of this officer was the spy who had communicated with Ao Bai before, the one who was willing to be a slave, and he finally appeared, the consumption of meat in this camp was very huge to the point of being terrible, and strict training required a good diet.
And this guy, who is the master behind it? It's the gang on the grassland, begging them to get some live sheep and cattle and sell them to these soldiers, which is naturally a matter of course.
At the beginning, he didn't dare to sell more, otherwise, everyone knew that he had a problem, and after that, he began to pretend to be a big trader from Jizhong, so he naturally began to buy and sell in large quantities, with fair prices and good quality.
Isn't it just for now?
He said with joy on his face: "I want to go to Liaodong...... Beat...... Tartar. ”
He was really happy, he could finally get real information for the "master", what a hard-won thing, before, it was he and a group of traitors, guarding the traffic arteries inside and outside the pass, and informing the Eight Banners of the arrival time, number, fiction and reality of several reinforcements from the pass, which indirectly led to the failure of the army.
As if he saw the situation where the masters rode high-headed horses and chased these Han soldiers for thousands of miles, he was almost excited, but he couldn't expose it at this time, and asked flatteringly, and at the same time, he also instructed the three prostitutes from the state capital with his eyes to serve this one well.
"Of course, our masters, don't you train so hard every day just to kill those Tartars, and this time, hehe, you can also see it, but the gods come all the way to help, and they will kill as many Tartars as there are, and no one will be left!"
"That's, that's, the general is brave, brave."
Although he suppressed a while in his heart, he had completed a perfect slave education, basically similar to the people on the island of Taiwan in later generations, the people on that island were first killed the most backbone of the people, and then the rest were ruthlessly managed, and even the men were killed, and the women gave birth, and a large number of Han surnames were born, but in fact, they were the children of the Japanese people, and they completely became slaves.
Although, what I was thinking about in my heart was to feed all kinds of poisons in advance in the last batch of sheep provided, and then mix them into the meat, and strive to poison all these enemies of the master, of course, on the surface, they still maintain the appearance of people.
He continued to boast, shameless and bearded, and finally drunk the petty officer, waved his hand and let a few prostitutes carry him into the bedroom, and then went back to his room, found a pen and paper, wrote a few words, and then found a set of clothes, and in an instant, he changed from the appearance of a small boss to an ordinary, non-existent forceman, carrying a basket, and went out in such a starry and moon-wearing manner.
This is a town along the river, very close to the barracks, but the life of the residents here has long been settled, and if they like to be active, they have long gone to the movie theater specially arranged by Li Xiangqian to watch movies, and the people who have worked hard for a day have already rested, so it is actually empty, very quiet, he turned around, did not stay in the town, but walked out, along the Luanhe River to the south.
This was supposed to be halfway through, when suddenly a small fishing boat appeared, and from a distance, a bonfire was lit, and it seemed that there was a person sitting in front of the fire.
He was overjoyed, and hurriedly ran over, and said as he walked: "Brother, get up, I have important information, go and report to the master, they are going to reward the three armies next month, and they will definitely send troops to invade Liaodong before August, but ......"
Suddenly, I was stunned, and I saw that the fisherman who was originally in the lower reaches of the Luan River every day, pretending to be fishing, would transport the information he received every day to the sea mouth and give it to a connector "old fellow", but now he was like a withered tree, sitting in place, but his hands and feet were tied tightly, he couldn't move, and his mouth was still stuffed with something.
After all, the bonfire was too small, and he couldn't light it, so he naturally couldn't notice it, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, and then wanted to run, but it was too late, only to see a few men pop out of the fishing boat, dressed in a neat short dress, but in his hand he was holding a spear, and the muzzle of the musket was aimed directly at him, and at the same time, he shouted: "Don't move." ”
He wants to run, but how can he compare to the soldiers of the training battalion who are raised by Li Xiangqian every day and practice in a scientific and effective way? After being caught up and semi-surrounded, he relented and shouted there: "Uncle, uncle, I am a passerby, please give me an accommodation, and the small one is willing to repay one or two, and serve one or two." ”
He blushed at this time, and when he came out for this trip, he naturally didn't dare to bring money for the sake of safety, but now, he can't open the way with money, otherwise, he can even enter and exit freely at the border.
However, a man on the other side did dance and said: "Take away, take away, I didn't expect that I looked at this kid, here at night, I don't know what to do, feed the mosquitoes, it turns out that there is another traitor, well, the elder is really a man of God, and even the traitor here knows it, I am convinced, I am convinced." ”
"Yes, go and report the good news to the elders."
These people were like victorious cats, proudly holding the two traitors, directly on the boat, tying the thighs of the two of them, unable to move, and then giving them oars and letting them row, but they still had to point their guns at any time to avoid rebellion.
"Now, the pomp and circumstance of the public trial conference is a bit effective."
Li Xiangqian took a long breath, since there is going to be a public trial, there is no big truck loaded with people, and there is no PLA uncle holding five or six styles, how can this be presentable, the most outrageous thing is that there is only one prisoner, and he is still a little thief, how can this be decent.
So, the work of collecting materials, which had been preparing for a long time, began.
As I said before, in this era, that is, the Ming Dynasty, the grassroots level dealt with small cases, small disputes in the neighborhood, or small things, all handed over to an autonomous organization "Shenming Pavilion", generally a township set up one, the county seat was set up according to the fang, in this Shenming Pavilion, there was a person in charge, the position was called "old man", these things, at the beginning, was to find a "respectable" old man to do, but also asked to preach some good values, originally good intentions.
However, I am afraid that such a power agency, without supervision, or the cost of supervision is too high, will inevitably lead to the domineering of power, these "old people", official positions, not the age is basically to the end, are bad money to expel good money, are all power for personal gain, and even greedy for wine and food bribery, justice is not obvious, chastity and evil are indistinguishable, vain Weifu, reverse right and wrong, in short, the grassroots politics of the Ming Dynasty is basically fist politics, your family has many uncles and brothers, many sons, can eat and fight, and do things arrogantly, you can run rampant in the township.
This is where the so-called inferior gentry come from, which means that they only need to ask casually to know about the existence of many bullies, and this is not a problem.
Therefore, although these people may be so small that in the eyes of Li Xiangqian and others, they are not even threats, they are just some worms, but for the smooth convening of the public trial conference and the conference, the criminals can look better, so these small existences are also going to be "on the table".
How do you say that? No matter how small a mosquito is, it's meat.
"Okay, Luyun, although I still can't find your house, but let's just come here, well, I want to eat more meat, look at your skinny, and, do you know these words?"
Lu Yun nodded, she had changed into a "normal" clothes, took a bath, tied up her braids, and began to read and write while doing a good job of "playing miscellaneous little girls", generally speaking, based on the experience of the People's Liberation Army in the 1955 literacy class, half a year is enough to learn the most basic 25oo commonly used Chinese characters, and even some enthusiastic people only took three months to memorize them all.
Li Xiangqian doesn't have such high requirements, and it's not for her to write articles, know the most basic numbers and simple names, just deal with paper documents, on the one hand, with the deepening of the rule, it is impossible for everything to be stored by the electronic computer on the spaceship, after all, they are only a civilian spaceship, and they are not a scientific research ship, at least until they have the ability to produce disks, no, but there is always something that needs to be recorded.
Moreover,Li Xiangqian also has some personal things.,There happens to be such a little Lori to manage.,How to say it.,This loyalty must be high.,Of course,It's still necessary to pay attention to finding her family.,At least,Don't come out of that.,You have a henchman.,But this subordinate.,But the family was controlled.,And then I was forced to be helpless.,Stabbed the master.,Or......
Anyway, this kind of old bridge that can't be old, Li Xiangqian is very impressed by this, and he can't extricate himself, so he simply pays attention to it in advance, anyway, he doesn't have to spend too much energy, just check her background, isn't it.
Time waits for no one, Li Xiangqian smiled happily, it's only been a few days, Lu Yun has learned more than 100 Chinese characters, of course, they are all the most basic, one, two, three, four, five, go up the mountain to fight the tiger, the tiger didn't hit, hit the little squirrel, well, very knowledgeable.
"You mean, the Japanese are coming?"
"That's right, I don't know where it came from, it's from Jiangnan, the Chinese is good, and the people are quite humble, although they may be playing some ideas in their hearts, but they are doing well on the surface."
"It's good to be able to say something to the eldest sister, that's still really good, then, what do you think?"
"Japan must fight, I checked the information, Japan's current population is almost about 20 million, almost the top five populous countries in the world in this era, and many years of war, very powerful, some people are afraid that our existence will stimulate these people to do something Meiji Restoration, although it will still be beaten down by us, but no matter how you look at it, it will take a little more hands and feet, so, some people proposed, let this Uemon get sick and die."
"Ahem, that's a bit of a villain."
