Chapter 147: Killing the Good and Risking the Merit

As soon as the cavalry of the "Red Banner Army" appeared, the cavalry of the Sichuan Army was not enough.

After all, the Sichuan horse and the Yunnan horse are not as tall as the Mongolian horse, and they are worse than the Arab war horse.

The Sichuan army was relatively poor, and only generals could ride Mongolian horses that were trafficked over long distances, and the horses of ordinary cavalry were all made of local materials, so they were obviously shorter than the cavalry of the "Red Banner Army" on horseback.

Seeing that Qin Liangyu was also watching the cavalry of the "Red Banner Army" with great interest, Zheng Guochang took the initiative to introduce the history of the Huang family's father and son.

Qin Liangyu was actually attracted by Zheng Guochang's story, and listened to it with relish, she really didn't expect that the development of the Huang family would completely rely on fighting slaves to grab materials and war horses, and she couldn't help but be fascinated.

Less than 900 men and horses set out from the Fengrun camp talked and laughed along the way, and went straight to the Ming army camp twenty or thirty miles southwest of Luanzhou City, where Sun Chengzong's Chinese army was already set up.

The red flag fluttered and the horse's hooves rumbled, and the military appearance of the "Red Banner Army" was praised by the civilian and military generals of the same country, and Huang Han took the lead in running in front of the team, and when he was less than 20 miles away from the camp of the Ming army in Luanzhou, dozens of ordinary people appeared on the side of the road.

When they saw the wordless red flag fluttering, they all shouted: "'Red Banner Army'! It is the 'Red Flag Army' of our Yongping Mansion, and the villagers ask the 'Red Flag Army' to be our master! ”

Seeing that there were ordinary people in front of him, Huang Han had slowed down his horse, and saw dozens of ordinary people all kneeling, and they cried in unison: "'Red Flag Army' masters, please stay, the grass people are wronged!" ”

It's really fresh, I've heard of the common people stopping the honor guard of the civil official to cry out for grievances, how can there be ordinary people who stop the army to cry out for grievances?

Huang Han reined in the horse, and the five hundred horsemen under his command also stationed on the horse, and one of the common people cried: "General Huang, the little one is named Ma Fucheng, the little one has seen you, in February, the little one was rescued by the general and escaped the clutches of Jiannu." ”

It turned out to be one of the Han people who had been rescued by the "Red Banner Army", and knowing himself, it was no wonder that he dared to stop such a large cavalry team.

Huang Han asked, "Why are you doing this?" The Ming army gathered outside Luanzhou in a large way, did the Tartars and Jiannu still dare to go out of the city to loot? ”

"General, Jiannu and Tatar haven't seen each other for a few days, who knew that more than 30 Ming cavalry came this morning, they rushed into our village to rob, and more than a dozen men in the village were cut down by them on the spot, and they cut off their heads!"

Huang Han was taken aback and said, "There is such a thing? Have you seen that? Is it really the cavalry of the Ming army? ”

"It's true, judging from the accents of those Ming troops, it should be from Liaodong, and it may be the Guanning army. Those robbed our village, killed more than a dozen offspring, and ruined more than a dozen big girls and little daughters-in-law.

We people are not convinced, this is to find the military camp to ask the superintendent Sun Ge Lao for an explanation, who knows that we have seen the 'Red Flag Army' of our Yongping Mansion from afar, so the little ones have the courage to kneel and ask the general to be the master of the people. ”

At this time, two hundred white pole cavalry also came up, Zhang Fengyi and Qin Yanyi were so angry when they heard the complaints of the common people, and Ma Xianglin, Qin Yiming, Qin Gongming and other generals were also angry.

Huang Han, who was thinking about how to find fault with the Guan Ning Army to create friction, said: "Fathers and fellow villagers, this matter is under the control of the 'Red Flag Army', the murderer is dead, the *** woman is dead, and the robber of the common people should also be killed, so you will go to the barracks with your official to find out the murderer." ”

Huang Han turned around and ordered: "Hanzi, let these ordinary people get on the spare horses, you take Yuan Siming and dozens of brothers to fight the front station, remember to come to the gate of the camp and be silent."

Give some reward and kind words, ask the soldiers on duty which part of the men and horses they came back today after getting the decapitation work, and say that you want to invite them to drink and discuss buying some heads. ”

Hanzi smiled: "Brother Han, you are too damaged, where are you going to invite those rotten boys to drink, you are going to invite them to eat bandao noodles!" ”

Yuan Siming said: "My lord's plan is very good, it is estimated that I will be able to lock on to the target immediately, and then my lord will take my fellow villagers to recognize people, and find out those miscellaneous pieces and bring them to justice." ”

Ma Xianglin nodded secretly when he heard Huang Han's arrangement, Qin Yanyi's eyes when she looked at Huang Han were no longer contemptuous, and she felt that this young general seemed to be scheming? I just don't know how effective it is? Can you beat yourself?

Zhang Fengyi asked her husband in a low voice: "I just don't know what they will do if they find out the culprit, does Huang Han really dare to kill the friendly army?" ”

Ma Xianglin shook his head and said, "Probably not!" At most, it is not easy to return the looted property with a military stick. ”

Zheng Guochang was noncommittal when he heard the reply of his relatives, and he was ready to see how Huang Han was prepared to deal with this seemingly thorny question. In fact, with his old fritter style in officialdom, he shouldn't dye his hands, so doomed to be a thankless thing.

The common people were looted, more than a dozen people were killed, and more than a dozen women were ruined, even if the culprit could be found, the main general would not necessarily kill the perpetrator, and even more could not recover the property, so it was impossible to satisfy the people.

The generals who are questioned will inevitably have a dislike with the officials who handle the matter, and the narrow-minded generals will even hold a grudge, and it is very likely that they will attack behind the scenes when they go to the battlefield.

This time, King Qin's many people came all the way to disturb the people, and they even fetched food on the spot. What is Food? It is to rob the people of their food. Therefore, the common people at the end of the Ming Dynasty hated the Tartars, Jiannu, and Liukou, and they also hated the Ming army.

When civil officials need to work hard for their lives, under normal circumstances, they will not control those arrogant soldiers too much, and it is commonplace for soldiers to be captive, and they can only turn a blind eye.

Zheng Guochang saw that Huang Han was stunned and took care of this matter, and he didn't come to ask him, the supreme official, and he didn't know if this person was reckless or Huang Han deliberately didn't pull himself into the water.

He thinks that this is fine, in case Huang Han does not handle it properly, he can come forward to round the field for him, after all, the imperial court has a law, and it is necessary to kill the good and make a decision, even if the Guan Ning army lord is going to protect his shortcomings, with his own intervention, they must also be restrained.

Qin Liangyu saw that the top leader of this road army did not give an attitude or stop it, and immediately knew that Zheng Guochang was preparing to wait and see the changes, and she did not say a word, and directly rushed to the Ming army camp with the civilian and military generals attending the meeting.

The cavalrymen who had been talking and laughing all the way were in a bad mood at the moment, and the knights of the "Red Banner Army" were even more pale, and the head of the family gave lectures every other day to teach everyone to read and write, and to reason with them and talk about the relationship between the army and the people.

During this time, the head of the family taught by word and deed, did his best to save the common people in every battle, and also took in orphans and widows, and the "Red Banner Army" was naturally assimilated by such a positive collective force, and they were also proud to be a member of the "Red Banner Army" who loved the people.

Now everyone in the "Red Banner Army" understands that soldiers come from the common people, and their duty is to protect the country and the people against foreign invasions, and whoever dares to disturb the people will be severely punished in the "Red Banner Army".

And those Guan Ning soldiers killed, robbed and humiliated women, this kind of behavior is not much different from Jiannu, and everyone in the "Red Banner Army" knights is full of righteous indignation, and they have the urge to come to the door to ask for an explanation.
