Chapter 691: Old Age

On September 29, in the middle of Migu Street in Tangyin County, Boss Wei rushed into the county government with four squads of soldiers. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Seeing more than 30 armed tiger army soldiers coming in, the officials in the county government panicked. They didn't know what these god-killing Tiger Army soldiers were doing when they rushed in with swords and guns.

The officials heard yesterday that the 200-strong Tiger Ben army and horses had set up an ambush in Wagang Township, and killed a group of thieves who had plagued Tangyin County for several years, killing thousands of people in one go. Then, after the tiger army returned to the east of the county, they punched and kicked the gentry who cut the queue to buy food, and even shot and broke the leg of one of the soldiers.

So today, these soldiers rushed in with fire guns, to kill the county commander?

The Tiger Ben Army has been rampaging in the Ming Dynasty over the years, and the governor doesn't know how many they have killed, and killing a county order is really not a matter.

The officials in the yamen did not dare to resist, and hid in the six houses on both sides one by one. The officials who were working in the lobby and the second hall had nowhere to hide, and when they saw the soldiers coming in, they knelt on the ground one by one, and they were about to kowtow to Boss Wei.

Boss Wei went all the way inside and caught the county order in Santang. The county commander was discussing things with a few gentry there, but was broken into by Boss Wei.

Looking at the stunned magistrate, Boss Wei said arrogantly: "County official, on behalf of the Jinguo Gonghu Benjun, I ask you to hand over the Yellow Book of Tangyin County's enlistment!" ”

The county commanders looked at the firecrackers in the hands of the soldiers of the Tiger Army, their faces turned a little pale, and secretly said Which one is this?

But this county order is not so kneaded, he mustered up the courage and said: "The enlistment of the Yellow Book is an important Wenzong of this county, how can you guest soldiers take it at will?" ”

Boss Wei said: "The gentry are shameless and let the family members repeatedly queue up to buy cheap grain. We need to use the yellow book to verify the identity of the purchaser and make sure that everyone buys the grain only once. ”

The county magistrate did not have a good impression of the Tiger Army. Although the Tiger Ben Army lowered the price of grain and defeated the local thieves, the county commander was born as a jinshi after all, and he was a big gentry himself, and he hated Li Zhi who was bent on opposing the gentry.

In these years, which official did not annex thousands of acres of fertile land in his hometown? The county order and the family all relied on the manor in their hometown, and if Li Zhi's average tax system continued to be implemented, the main source of income for the county order would be cut off.

In addition, yesterday the Tiger Ben Army prevented the gentry's family from cutting in line to buy grain, and this county order representing the interests of the gentry disliked the Tiger Ben Army even more.

The county commander glared at Boss Wei angrily, slapped the table, and said loudly: "Don't say that you have more than 30 soldiers coming to me, I won't promise you, even if your company commander comes in person, I can't give you the yellow book of enlistment!" ”

Boss Wei snorted coldly, raised his handcuff and fired a shot at the roof.

The tiles on the roof were shattered several times, and exploded into the sky like flowers, and then the broken tiles fell to the ground, falling to the ground.

The shot frightened the county magistrate into a chair and almost peed his pants. He only said that the Tiger Ben Army was also the soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty, how could he dare to be rude to him, an official of the imperial court? He really didn't expect that Boss Wei's handcuff was actually loaded with bullets. Is this a posture that really wants to shoot if there is a slight conflict?

The sky and the earth are big, and the fire is the biggest! Where do the gentry next to them dare to put on a score? One by one, they jumped up from their chairs and fell to their knees.

Before Boss Wei's handcuffs were put away, a Tiger Soldier had already walked up with a rifle and aimed the barrel of the loaded bullet at the head of the county commander.

Boss Wei snorted coldly and said, "Dog officer, let me ask you again, where is the enslavement yellow book?" ”

The county magistrate was so frightened that he couldn't say a complete sentence, and his mind was full of the feudal officials who had been shot by the Tiger Ben Army. He stammered back, "I'll hand... Soldier... Rest assured... I hand over the Yellow Book of Enlistment..."

The county order was pointed at by the rifle of the Tiger Army, and he did not dare to move, for fear that he would be shot by the soldiers as soon as he moved. He waved his hand to ask the master to go and get the yellow book of enlistment, and it didn't take long for several officials to take out all the documents that Boss Wei wanted.

There are more than 100,000 people in Tangyin County, and there are more than 20 yellow books for enlistment.

Boss Wei held up a yellow book and flipped through it, and saw that it recorded in detail the number of people in each family, the date of birth, and the amount of service. Boss Wei nodded and said, "Through this enlistment yellow book check, the gentry's families will not have the opportunity to queue up repeatedly to buy food. ”

On the third day of the first month of October, all the 1,600 stone grain was sold, and the Huben Army Company in Tangyin County embarked on the journey home.

The people of Tangyin County chased them out one by one, crowded to the outside of the company's camp and stood outside, watching the soldiers and horses that benefited the people leave.

For the people of Tangyin County, this Tiger Army Company is a life-saving soldier.

This army lowered the price of grain in Tangyin County. The citizens of Tangyin County worked hard every day to earn a little silver, so they finally had enough to eat. The people in the countryside had a bad harvest, but with the affordable food of the Tiger Army, they were able to avoid starving to death when the harvest was not harvested.

This army even defeated the thieves who were rampant in Tangyin County, so that the order of the entire Tangyin County was gradually restored. Farmers can boldly go out to farm, businessmen dare to go to the countryside to sell goods, and the price level in Tangyin County continues to decline.

The company packed all the baggage into the wagon and was about to leave. Several village elders walked up with well water and presented the well water to the company commander Old Man Han.

Old man Han raised the water bowl and drank it all.

A villager who could no longer see with his eyes held up the well water in front of Boss Wei, and Boss Wei took the well water and drank it cleanly.

This half-blind villager grabbed Boss Wei's hand and said: "These days, General Wei has organized the sale of cheap grain in the eastern suburbs of the county, and sold all the cheap grain to the poorest people, and the people of Tangyin County will not forget General Wei." ”

Hearing the villager call himself General Wei, Boss Wei laughed and patted the villager on the shoulder with his hand.

"Rest assured, if we bring grain in a few days, we will definitely restore order in Tangyin County. Maybe it's not our company that comes to Tangyin, maybe it will change to other companies, but as long as it's a company of the Tiger Army, it's all the same! ”

The villager grabbed Boss Wei's hand with both hands and nodded.

After being silent for a few seconds, the villager suddenly said: "I heard that three hundred miles east from Tangyin, to the territory of Yanggu County, it is Shandong. I heard that since the Duke of Jin Guo came to take charge of Shandong, the people of Shandong have rolled out white rice noodles, eaten cheap sea fish from the sea, lived in brick houses, and wore fine cloth clothes. There are quilts in winter and mats in summer, and it is a well-off day by day. ”

"I heard that after the people of Shandong were in charge of the Jinguo Gong, there were no more thieves in Shandong, and the gentry and heroes of Shandong no longer dared to bully the people. I have heard that with the Duke of Jinguo, the people of Shandong are no longer afraid of locust droughts and floods, even if the river is cut off from drought, and not a single person dies of starvation. ”

"We are hungry and full, in order not to starve to death pawn clothes and quilts, Henan people, we are really envious!"

Hearing the words of the old man, the people of Tangyin County who were standing behind them all cried one by one, they wiped their tears and looked at Boss Wei with their eyes.

"Trouble General Wei to say a word to Jin Guogong, just say that the people of Tangyin County really expect Jin Guogong to expand the jurisdiction to Tangyin and come to call the shots for us."
