Chapter 149: The One Who Wins the Hearts of the People
Liu Yun saw that the young man was fierce, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he pulled out his sword and was about to step forward to stop him.
"Poof!"
"This ......"
Under everyone's stunned expressions, the leading young man knelt down, gritted his teeth and said in a low tone: "Governor Dong, I led someone to offend you and insult your reputation, you can kill me!"
"However, this matter is the fault of my Yang Zaixing alone, I know you will not agree, but the villain begs the governor to see that my brothers of the same clan are old and young, and only kill me, and spare their lives!"
After speaking, Yang Zaixing just lowered his head, stuck his sword on the ground, and didn't say a word.
Half a day passed, and the expected death did not come as scheduled, Yang Zaixing couldn't help but raise his head and look at Dong Ping in front of him.
Dong Ping looked calm, just looked at Yang Zaixing lightly.
Yang Zaixing gritted his teeth again, and with a force of his right hand, he pulled out the sword from the ground and wiped it directly from his neck.
"Boom!"
The harsh sound of metal scraping echoed in his ears, and Yang Zaixing opened his eyes to see that his sword had been picked up by the sword in Dong Ping's hand.
"This ......"
The corners of Yang Zaixing's mouth trembled violently, and his eyes were full of disbelief.
"Brother Yang, where are you talking!" Dong Ping smiled and helped up Yang Zaixing in front of him, and said in a calm tone: "All this is just a conspiracy between Wu Jinlai and Zhang Chengen, and the brothers are also victims, you have never made any mistakes!"
At this time, more than 300 other people also knelt down, clasped their hands into fists and said, "We have made a mistake and misunderstood Governor Dong, but we want to die, and we only want to let Brother Yang go!"
"Brothers, please get up!" Dong Ping walked up to them and shouted loudly: "You are all heroes who are righteous and thin, I, Dong Ping, put my words here today, you have no responsibility for today's affairs, and I will never force everyone to join the army in the future!"
When those young people heard Dong Ping say this, they were already moved to tears, knelt on the ground one after another, and kowtowed to Dong Ping several times.
Those people stood up and said loudly: "From now on, our life is the governor's, whether it is to fight this court, or the governor wants to be the emperor himself, our Yang family has no second heart!"
The Yang family? Dong Ping's heart was suddenly shocked, looking at the appeal of Yang Zaixing among them today, this should be the fierce general Yang Zaixing in history!
Thinking of this, Dong Ping walked up to Yang Zaixing, smiled and said, "I don't know where Brother Zaixing is?"
Yang Zaixing was already moved when he saw Dong Ping so benevolent and righteous, and said loudly: "The villain is from Cangzhou, Hebei, just because my uncle and brother Yang Zhi fell into the grass, and we were chased and killed by Gao Yu's gang everywhere, so I had to lead more than 1,000 people to settle in Yuncheng."
This person is really Yang Zhi's brother! Dong Ping thought for a moment in his heart, and said with a smile: "Brother Zaixing, I don't know if you are interested in serving as the commander of the soldiers and horses of the Ninth Battalion, and contributing to the country together with your subordinates?"
"The last will be a guilty person, and he will not dare to expect such a high position!" Yang Zaixing shook his head slightly, and said in a firm tone: "I am not allowed to do anything, and I am willing to be a pawn and charge for the governor!"
Dong Ping laughed twice: "Brother, this is not right, now there is a heinous person in front of him, but it is a great merit!"
Yang Zaixing turned his head and saw that Wu Jinlai and Zhang Chengen were trying to escape, and suddenly realized that they hurriedly chased forward.
"Where are the robbers!"
Yue Fei and Shi Xiu rushed forward and kicked the two of them, and Yang Zaixing caught up and tied them up with a rope.
Yang Zaixing shouted: "These two people did all kinds of evil in the countryside in their early years, how many people lost their lives, and finally did what people did for two years, and now they are provoking us to harm Governor Dong, fellow villagers, should they be killed?"
"Yes!"
"Kill these two brutes!"
The nearby peasants roared, and the crowd became excited, and they rushed forward together, punching and kicking violently, only to beat the sky darkly, and Dong Ping and others couldn't stop drinking.
Half an hour passed, and everyone dispersed to see that the two wastes were dead and could no longer die.
"Alright, folks." Dong Ping waved his hand at everyone and shouted loudly: "This matter is over, everyone should go their own way."
The thousands of people were all motionless, full of shame, although Dong Ping had forgiven them, but these people were indeed guilty of the following crimes, and they almost wanted to use force.
"Alright, what else can I do if it's already like this?" The seventy-year-old man who had been standing on the periphery walked out with a cane, and said in a low voice: "Last time, the old man had already reminded me that these two people wanted to avenge Wu Yi, but what about you?"
Speaking of this, the old man slammed the ground with his cane, shook his head, and said in a heavy tone.
"The old man has already said that people have to think for themselves, how can they always be led by others? If it weren't for the private school that Lao Yu opened in the countryside, these dolls would still be mud-legged for the rest of their lives, and you don't know how to regret it! ”
After saying that, the old man was already coughing violently, as if his body could no longer hold on.
"Grandpa, you go down and rest first." A young man in his twenties came out from behind and whispered, "Grandson will take care of these things."
"That's it, the old man is already a person who is about to be buried in the ground." The old man waved his hand, but still did not move.
"Folks." The young man shouted: "Since you want to make meritorious contributions, I think you might as well join the army with my Ma Kuo, sell this blood to Governor Dong, and fight on the battlefield with Governor, how about it?"
"Good!"
"I'm willing to join the army!"
In addition to the more than 300 young people of the Yang family, the remaining more than 200 young adults were silent for only a moment, almost raising their arms one after another, and responding to Ma Kuo's words in a loud voice.
But Dong Ping's heart at the moment is turbulent.
The person in front of him is actually the all-round wizard of the Great Song Dynasty, Xiao Zhuge Ma Kuo?
Dong Ping's heart trembled violently, it is said that this Ma Kuo is a talent who is proficient in politics, economics, and diplomacy!
Although Ma Kuo is still so young, as long as he is willing to follow him, he will inevitably be a handsome man in the future!
Thinking of this, Dong Ping strode forward, smiled and said: "Mr. Ma, I, Dong Ping, welcome every brother who comes to join the army, from today on, you will be my deputy supervisor of Dongping soldiers and horses!"
After speaking, Dong Ping turned around again and shouted loudly: "Pass on my military order, Yang Zaixing will be promoted to the commander of the ninth battalion of soldiers and horses!"
"Governor, how does this work!"
Yang Zaixing also ran over, the two almost knelt down together, Ma Kuo clasped his hands into fists and said: "At a young age, how can you take on such a high position, I hope that the governor will choose another talent!"
"Sir, you must accept this!" The corners of Dong Ping's eyebrows trembled violently, and he said in a sincere tone: "Mr.'s talent is famous in ancient and modern times, and a deputy eunuch of soldiers and horses is far from being able to give full play to Mr.'s talent, and you will definitely be the pillar of the Great Song Dynasty in the future!"
Ma Kuo wanted to refuse again, but the old man had already stepped forward, smashed Ma Kuo with his cane, and scolded: "Silly boy, the governor has already said so, and he doesn't know how to work hard, how can he be like an elm head!"
Ma Kuo smiled awkwardly, clasped his hands into fists, knelt on one knee, and replied in a firm tone: "I, Ma Kuo, will fight for Governor Dong and the people of the world from now on, and I will definitely not disappoint the Governor!"
Yang Zaixing saw Ma Kuo say this, and also bowed and said: "The last general, Yang Zaixing, will be born and die for the governor from now on, and there will be no two hearts!"
"Good, good!" Dong Ping laughed twice, helped the two of them up and said, "I have two heroes, it's like a tiger with wings!"
At this time, the old man also waved his hand to the nearby peasants and shouted: "What are you doing standing stupidly, don't follow the governor to the private school in the city to study for two years, so as not to suffer the loss of no education in the future!"
Those people smiled awkwardly, and said on the spot that they wanted to go to a private school in the city to study with the dolls for a few years, and lose this mud-legged hat.
Dong Ping smiled and said: "The government welcomes everyone's study, and the education subsidy is now in place, so you don't have to worry!"
After a pause, Dong Ping said again: "Old man, I want to invite you to teach in the city, I don't know if you are interested?"
The old man stroked his beard, laughed twice and said: "The old man has been teaching all his life, and he wants to exert some spare heat, okay, the old man is here to thank Governor Dong for this opportunity!"
Dong Ping smiled and waved his hand: "The younger generation doesn't dare to be, the old gentleman will have to be patient to teach you then, haha."
When the peasants heard this, they all burst out laughing.
"I'm talking about Governor Dong."
Shi Xiu walked over from behind and said with a smile: "If you want to join the army, I wonder if there are any remaining positions?"
Dong Ping reacted at this time, hurriedly stepped forward, and said with a smile: "Brother Shixiu, don't you do it, the county official of Yuncheng?"
"What is such a position?" Shi Xiu laughed twice: "I, Shi Xiu, only want to follow those who have achieved great things, Emperor Lao'er and Song Jiang are not worthy of my Shi Xiu's life!"
Shi Xiu arched his hand, changed his words, and said in a calm tone: "Governor Dong, if I can let a special force be formed below, I can let the governor enter the capital tomorrow and ascend to the Ninth Five-Year Honor!"
