Chapter 191: Sacrifice Army
In order to win the hearts of the army, in Suzhou City alone, the gentry group issued a festival fee of five taels of silver to every soldier defending the city.
Originally, the soldier's monthly salary was only one tael.
One can imagine what a big sum of five taels of silver is for the soldiers below.
It doesn't matter.
Even, the gentry group also spent a lot of money to gather all the girls in the Qinglou Chu Pavilion in the city and go to the barracks to 'condole' the soldiers below.
Actually, it didn't cost them most of their money.
Who doesn't know that these brothels in these cities were originally run by the gentry?
But in any case, on Chinese New Year's Eve, the originally lifeless military camp in Suzhou City became particularly lively.
There is a large family in the south of Suzhou surnamed Jiang.
On Chinese New Year's Eve, Jiang Qingzhou, the head of the Jiang family, was in a particularly impetuous mood, and he didn't even eat well.
In the evening, the table of good dishes prepared at home did not even move.
At this time, Jiang Qingzhou saw his son Jiang Zuogui coming back from outside, and hurriedly got up and asked, "How is it, can the matter be done?" ”
Jiang Zuogui bowed his head lightly and said: "Father, don't worry, this time my son has released a total of ten carts of wine to the military camp in the city, as long as there are no accidents, those Qiu Ba will definitely sleep more than pigs tonight!" ”
"That's good! That's it! Jiang Qingzhou breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly asked, "When you delivered the wine today, did you ever see any clues?" ”
"Son's errand, father, are you still not at ease?" Jiang Zuogui chuckled and explained: "Father, you just have to rest assured that when my son goes to deliver wine today, the people who follow him are loyal servants of more than three generations, and there will be no accidents." ”
"Has anyone been in contact with the Jinyi Guard?" Although he knew that his son was usually a hanger, but he was very thoughtful, Jiang Qingzhou still asked a little uneasily.
"My son has already agreed with Jinyiwei on the time, and when it comes to the early hours of the morning, the fireworks in the city will prevail, and then my son will open the city gate to welcome Wang Shi into the city."
"Have you chosen a location?" Jiang Qingzhou asked again, "Don't be discovered by others!" ”
"The location has been chosen, and it is in the barracks in the city." Jiang Zuogui explained.
"What?" As soon as he heard this, Jiang Qingzhou suddenly couldn't sit still, "You actually put the place where you lit fireworks in the barracks?" Aren't you afraid of losing your head? ”
Jiang Zuogui said disappreciatively: "Father, I am too worried, the more dangerous it seems, the safer it is."
I'm afraid that no one would have thought that my son would put the location in the barracks!
Besides, even if they knew that their son had set off fireworks in the barracks, they couldn't produce evidence, right?
The son sent three truckloads of fireworks to the barracks openly, wanting to make the soldiers lively! ”
"You ......" Jiang Qingzhou still felt that his son's method was extremely risky, but when the words came to his mouth, he didn't know how to blame.
"There will definitely be some turmoil in the city tonight, after the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, my father should quickly lead people to find a safe place to hide!" Afraid that his family would be affected by the turmoil, Jiang Zuoliang was a little worried on his face.
"Don't worry about this, the old man has already chosen the hiding place!"
Seeing his father say this, Jiang Zuogui nodded, "My son still has something to do, so I'll go out first!" ”
With that, Jiang Zuogui turned around and walked out of the house.
"Zuo Gui!" Jiang Qingzhou hurriedly called out to his son and advised, "Pay attention to safety tonight!" ”
"Father, rest assured!" Jiang Zuogui turned around and gave his father a reassuring smile, and left the house without looking back......
When he left the house, he looked at the three carriages full of fireworks on the road, said "let's go" to his subordinates, and rode forward......
When he came to the gate of the barracks, Jiang Zuogui saw that except for a few gatekeepers who were shivering in the cold wind, he couldn't see a single figure.
The gatekeeper obviously also knew Jiang Zuogui, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked in surprise: "Jiang Gongzi, why are you back again?" ”
Jiang Zuogui got off his horse and chuckled, "Isn't this afraid that the brothers will be lonely tonight?" So I bought some fireworks to make the brothers lively! ”
Glancing at the barracks again, Jiang Zuogui asked, "What about you General Wu?" ”
"What about in the barracks?" The janitor turned his head and pointed to the tent in the middle of the barracks, his eyes full of envy.
At this time, Jiang Zuogui heard the noise from time to time in the barracks, as well as the coquettish laughter of women.
Hearing the voice, Jiang Zuogui frowned and asked, "How did I hear a woman's voice coming from the barracks?" ”
The gatekeeper smiled and said: "I'm afraid that Jiang Gongzi doesn't know, this afternoon you just left for a long time, Jiang, Han, and Yang sent all the girls from Qiuyuelou to the barracks, saying that they would let the brothers have fun tonight." ”
As he spoke, the goalkeeper couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
Seeing this, a hint of ridicule flashed in Jiang Zuoliang's eyes, and it was just a moment of effort, and then he disappeared.
"I'll go and visit General Wu first!" With that, Jiang Zuoliang walked into the barracks by himself.
The goalkeeper did not have the slightest intention of stepping forward to stop him.
As she got closer to the tent, the woman's laughter grew louder and louder.
"General Wu, this is good Yaxing!" Before he could enter the tent, Jiang Zuoliang's voice came in.
General Wu, whose head was buried in the woman's chest, couldn't help but raise his head when he heard the sound outside.
Seeing that it was Jiang Zuoliang, General Wu patted the buttocks of the woman in his arms, asked her to leave him, got up and hugged his fists at Jiang Zuoliang and said, "It turned out to be Jiang Gongzi, why are you here at this time?" ”
"Originally, I was worried that my brothers in the army would be lonely tonight, so I specially purchased a few truckloads of fireworks for my brothers' entertainment. Now that I look at it, it seems redundant! ”
"Where?" General Wu smiled disapprerovingly, "There are tens of thousands of our brothers, even if these girls are all tired, I'm afraid they won't be busy tonight, right?" ”
As he spoke, General Wu patted the buttocks of the woman next to him with a lewd smile on his face.
"That's right!" Jiang Zuoliang nodded noncommittally and said, "Since General Wu has a pastime here, then I'll go to other camps to have a look, you can't play with girls, and let the other brothers stare at the fire in a daze!" ”
"Then there is Lao Jiang Gongzi!" General Wu didn't get up, but just chuckled, and then hugged the woman beside him into his arms, which immediately caused a burst of coquettishness......
Walking out of the tent, Jiang Zuoliang's eyes suddenly flashed with a hint of mockery, and he said in his heart: "I hope you can still see the sunrise tomorrow!" ”
After turning around all the camps in the camp, Jiang Zuoliang found that except for the girls in the Qinglou in the officers' tents, there was not a single one in the ordinary soldiers' camps......
