Chapter 560: Your Braids......
Chapter 560: Your Braids......
"Okay, then I'm not polite."
Yang Yuan's face finally became a little more lively, and he nodded to Master Cheng.
This old man who looks like a dough and looks harmless to people and animals, Fang Cai Wang Luo secretly introduced him - this is the first master of the Mi Guild, and among the people present, he is the most powerful and well-connected boss.
Immediately, he turned to the few people dressed as soldiers and said, "The first important thing must be implemented in your strong team. β
"Humble Officials......
One of the leaders blinked his eyelids and looked puzzledβcould it be that we were going to take the lead?
"Everyone, please move."
Yang Yuan interrupted him, took out a folded piece of paper from the pocket of the tactical vest, spread it out on a coffee table in front of him, and beckoned.
Several leaders immediately came to take a look, saw that it was a hand-drawn sketch, and then looked closely, although there were not many strokes on it, but it could be seen that it was like the orientation map of Yangzhou City.
"Your first mission,"
Yang Yuan didn't bother to explain the origin of this map, he pointed to a place in the south of the city, and said in a deep voice: "Immediately evacuate the homeless people outside the city to this area." β
"Lotus pond?"
"Yes, there is already a large army here to meet it, and it is safe."
"Understood! It's over to the lowly position! β
As soon as they heard that it was this task, some people volunteered to be the first to respond.
"......" a few others.
"Okay, that's up to you, but move fast, the faster the better......"
Yang Yuan nodded, looked up at the window, "It's almost three watches, the army will land in an hour, and the siege will begin at two o'clock!" β
"Okay! Without further ado, the lowly post is gone! β
This leader deserves to be refreshed, his legs and feet are faster, and he arches his hands and pulls his legs away.
"A few of you're on a mission,"
Yang Yuan looked at the remaining ones, lowered his head again, pointed to several places in the city that were circled, and said in a deep voice, "You generals will divide the team into groups, and the people who will follow me after the city is broken will quickly control these firewood accumulation points to prevent the Tartars from taking advantage of the chaos to set fires." β
"Yes!"
Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and responded with their fists clenched.
"Well, there's one thing don't forget,"
Yang Yuan nodded and ordered, "Inform all the soldiers who started the incident that the strips of white cloth should be tied at the same time to prevent accidental injuries." β
"Ordered ......"
"And,"
Yang Yuan waved his hand, wrinkled his nose, and jokingly said, "After dawn, your braids ...... I'll tear it down. β
"Of course, of course,"
At this time, they gathered around, and Master Cheng, who was standing behind them, hurriedly joked, "The people of the whole city will be demolished...... Let's redo the people of the Ming Dynasty, and we are no longer pigs and dogs driven by the Tartars. β
"Well, that's right,"
Yang Yuan nodded approvingly, "Your righteous deeds anyway, I will tell our Hou Ye in the future, our Hou Ye is magnanimous, and there will definitely be preferential treatment." β
"Ah, thank you, then."
Master Cheng made a look, and the bigwigs hurriedly got up.
Then, seeing that Yang Yuan's attitude was much better, Master Cheng told Yang Yuan about the "reward" negotiated by the gentry and businessmen in the city - roughly how many "rewards" each of the heavenly soldiers, how many officers each person, and how many generals were the main generals......
Seeing that Yang Yuan's face was strange and noncommittal, he hurriedly smiled and asked, "I wonder if this price is appropriate...... Naturally, when the time comes, I have to ask the adults to say a lot of kind words in front of the officials......"
Yang Yuan looked at this serious old slippery head and was secretly amused.
Although there are strict restrictions on military discipline, this money should not be taken, but he feels that these old rich people are not the kind of "ordinary people" that the chief said, they must have paid tribute to the Tartars before, this kind of money and food is not given to anyone, don't want it in vain, there is no need to save it for them.
Besides, we can ask for this money, but Zheng Jun has to ask for it.
Zheng Jun is a guest army, they came from afar, and it is not impossible to get an additional military compensation, lest Zheng Jun can't help but "fight the grass valley" in the city, and General Chen will have to worry about the military discipline.
At that moment, he reluctantly expressed his "willingness to speak kindly", and Master Cheng breathed a sigh of relief.
"But it's better to halve the silver,"
Yang Yuan's eyes rolled and smiled meaningfully, "Aren't you rice shops, let's take more grain, I heard that there is not much grain stored in the city." β
"It should be, it should be, ahem,"
Master Cheng coughed a few times when he heard this, and said with a smile, "Although the rice shops have been looted by the Tartars, everyone is still in the countryside village, but there is still a little ...... left."
"yes, it's not much, but I can still take out a little."
Everyone nodded hurriedly and agreed.
"Very well, then it's decided!"
Yang Yuan's face was straight, he simply gave a quick military salute, and said in a deep voice, "On behalf of the refugees, I thank you!" β
"Don't dare, don't dare,"
Master Cheng shook his hands wildly, "My lord is too polite, polite." β
"Still,"
As he spoke, his voice changed, and he said mysteriously, "The old man still has a question, I don't know if I can ask the adults ......."
He felt that the time had come to take this opportunity to make a move, show off his skills, and make a good impression at the same time.
"If you have any questions, but it's okay to say it."
"Well, at the fourth watch, the first group of people must have come out, and eighty percent of this city gate is going to be closed...... I don't know the ...... of the heavenly soldiers How to break the city? β
"I understand what you mean,"
Yang Yuan grinned when he heard this, and said lightly, "The rebels in the city are like frightened birds, and the slightest fright will blow up the camp, and we have few people, so it is naturally inconvenient to storm ......."
ββ¦β¦β
"Don't worry, our company, but the most powerful guard company under our Hou Ye,"
Seeing that everyone was puzzled again, Yang Yuan didn't bother to tell them the specific details, and simply began to brag, "Just look at it, my people are all extraordinary, capturing prisoners and touching the sentry is like probing for something......"
"That's good, that's good,"
Old Man Cheng smiled and flattered, "However, the old man has a plan or can make money to open the city gate, I don't know if he can give it to the adult?" β
"Oh? Please speak at the beginning of the meeting. β
β¦β¦
More than an hour ago, General Meng Tietou took advantage of the excuse to branch out all his personal soldiers, only brought a few of his closest domestic servants, and began his escape journey.
With many years of experience in the army, Meng Tietou knows that fleeing in disguise during the war will hinder the trouble if there are too many people.
No matter how good the soldiers are, in the final analysis, they are all soldiers who eat food, they are not a family, and in times of crisis, only the slaves of their own family are the most reliable.
In his new place, several sets of people's clothes have been secretly prepared, and the baggage is soft and all ready-made.
At this time, he and his three personal servants had already changed into brown shirts and hats, dressed as ordinary people, each carrying only a small burden, and hurried out of the gate, mixed with the group of refugees who were being expelled from the city, and fled towards the east gate.
The streets were already in chaos, crowded with people, and along the way, there were crowds of people crying and shouting......
Meng Tietou found that not all of the people fleeing for their lives were ordinary people, and there were also many chaotic soldiers in groups of three or five.
When he was about to reach the city gate, suddenly, the sky in the west faintly lit up red, and Meng Tietou secretly thought that someone had started setting fires.
The crowd on the street was stunned for a moment, and they all looked back at the red light in the sky.
Suddenly, a man's pitched scream erupted in the crowd - "Oh no, it's on fire!" βγ
Everyone jumped up as if they had been whipped suddenly, and rushed towards the Great East Gate......
