Chapter 77: Far Away
The soldiers had carefully cleaned the battlefield, collected everything they could, and stripped the clothes of the usual bandits. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
These clothes can be worn by washing, and the clothes on the bodies of many refugees have been passed down for generations, and the clothes on the clothes of these bandits are better than theirs.
The corpses of the bandits were scattered all over the battlefield and thrown into a smaller, dry pond and buried in the earth to prevent the plague.
When it comes to the official road, the flow of people is relatively dense, but these things should be paid attention to.
There were more than 20 casualties in this battle, in addition to the battle dead, there were more than a dozen light and serious wounded, and even the wounded in the battle on the Bronze Mountain, there were many people who had difficulty walking.
Yang He ordered the stretcher to be made again, and all the wounded were carried away, covered with thick clothes and bedding.
All the dead who died in this battle were carried away, and when they arrived at the place of residence, they were buried collectively.
The team members were busy and organized, while the people who were coerced next to them watched with expectation.
This time, the thieves came and threatened two or three hundred people, including nearly a hundred young and strong women who had been robbed.
In the previous war, some people fled, but most of them were also recovered, and about 200 people gathered on the side of the official road.
They looked at everything in front of them, and saw that Yang Xianggong had carefully treated the wounded, and now they wanted the wounded and the dead to be carried away, not leaving a single person behind.
In troubled times, how valuable is this?
Some of them were also homeless people, accustomed to the misery and indifference of the teams, and knew that the most feared thing was to be injured, not only would they be left behind without mercy, but even the more miserable ones would become food for others.
This young man is really good, he has a good heart, and he can defeat the thieves, and he is even more merciless to those bandits.
He is still a capable person, and he talks and laughs with the dart head of the dart board and the young grandmother of the big family, and when they are separated, they seem to be reluctant.
It's really a good ability, follow him, and you must be guaranteed in all aspects.
They looked at the busy people in the army with envy, and they really wished they could join this team.
The two young soldiers were also standing in the crowd, Guan Feng, who was slightly younger and had a slender figure, was quite moved, and he said, "Brother Huyan, you say, will the Yang Xiang Guild accept us?" ”
The taller Hu Yansheng stared at the crowd, and he muttered, "I don't know ......"
The two were talking, but they didn't know that Zhang Songtao, a wilderness homeless person, was staring at them.
At this time, he was lying on a stretcher, a stretcher made of thick blankets, which was also covered with a thick futon, which filled his heart with warmth.
Yang Xianggong promised to accept it, and he was full of peace of mind, and he immediately entered the state and considered himself as a member of the team.
He looked at these two defeated soldiers, and according to his two-year experience, the general defeated soldiers had deep vices, even if they were good at the beginning, they would slowly degenerate, and then become the backbone of each bandit.
Are these two good people who are soldiers?
I have to keep an eye on Yang Xianggong for him.
……
Regardless of whether these coerced people accept it or not, Yang He will definitely use them as porters, he roughly asked, some of these people are wandering people in the wilderness, and some are villagers whose homes have been destroyed by thieves in Suining.
In particular, the nearly 100 young and strong women were all locals of Suining, and the village was destroyed, and their families were killed, and then they were looted.
Maybe after arriving in Suining, some of them will leave and go to their relatives and friends.
For the time being, these people are all used as coolies, after all, the team has captured too much this time.
Yanghe's team originally had 325 people, carrying a large amount of horse meat, all kinds of pots and pans, more than 1,000 taels of silver, 156 stones of rice noodles, more than 200 catties of salt, more than 50 catties of rice wine, all kinds of cloth and silk, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.
This time, they also seized 10,000 taels of silver, 95 stones of rice and grain, a large amount of cloth and groceries, and various weapons.
In particular, twenty-six dead horses must be carried away, and the wounded must also be carried by hand.
If these people don't help carry it together, who will carry it?
Of course, there are many things, but they don't last long.
Take rice noodles as an example, at this time, the food consumption of young and strong men is two catties of rice a day, that is, four or five catties of rice, which is still an ordinary amount of rice.
If Minister Yang came to eat, when he was hungry, he could eat two and a half catties of rice in one meal, almost five catties of rice.
The otaku who can't eat half a bowl of rice in later generations is incomprehensible, but it is the status quo at this time.
Women and girls eat less, but they don't eat much.
At this time, one stone is one hundred and eighty-eight catties, although the total number of the team is more than one hundred and ten stone rice noodles, but so many people, in fact, it will not be long to eat.
But at present, looking at the full harvest, both men and women, young and old, all show a look of joy and satisfaction.
This battle was also divided into five war horses, all of which were fat and strong, with trimmed manes and tails, which were quite miraculous.
Yang He asked Minister Yang to pick one, and he chose to choose and choose, and also chose a war horse that was as red as Yang He.
Then he rode up and said happily: "Young master, I also have a horse." ”
Sister Ying'er clapped her hands beside her, and Yang He smiled: "Minister, slowly we will have everything." ”
Seeing the happy appearance of the scholar, he was also quite satisfied, this is really self-made, from scratch.
Next to him, Han Daxia, Qi Youxin, Zhang Chugong, Hu Employment and others looked around, all of them were envious.
However, they were not envious, there were hundreds of people in the team, only Yang He and the two could ride horses, and the rest Qi Youxin had never ridden a horse even if he was the lieutenant chief.
So the remaining four war horses can only be led away, just to carry the goods.
Yang He looked around, everything was almost organized, and it was time to go.
But at this time, the group suddenly rushed over.
……
"Xiao Lao'er is worried about Xianggong, but fortunately, Jiren has his own natural appearance, and Xianggong has defeated so many horse thieves."
It was the shallow old man Kang Youyin who spoke, and his expression was still amazed.
Next to him, his sons Kang Mingming, Kang Minghai, and a group of shallow men were standing, looking at the heads hanging on the willow trees, their faces were full of shock, this young Xiucai actually defeated thousands of thieves, and also cut off their heads, and hung them here to show the public.
Presumably, the prestige of this battle spread, and on both sides of the Yellow River, no one dared to provoke this team.
They have also been paying attention to the battle situation on the embankment, and when the thieves were defeated, Kang Youyin ordered the pot of Yellow River carp soup to be brought to comfort them, because the road was farther, and when the pot of soup was served, Yang He and the others were about to leave, but fortunately they caught up.
"Let Kang Lao bother."
At this time, Yang He and the shallow old man sat opposite each other on the rosewood official hat chair, and there was a bowl of delicious fish soup on the table, Yang He drank it, and kept nodding, this taste is good.
There are also Minister Yang, Qi Youxin, younger brothers and sisters next to them, standing or squatting, all holding bowls, all of them tasting the famous Yellow River carp soup.
Yang He could hear the friendship of the shallow old man opposite, of course he was throwing a peach and repaying it.
What's more, he has always been concerned about the river workers on both sides of the Yellow River, which is an important force that can be relied on in the future, and it occupies a very important position in the plan of the Yang River.
There are many kinds of river workers in the two rivers, and Wang Qiong, the governor of Caoyun in the Ming Dynasty, has described in detail the names and responsibilities of various river workers in Huangyun in the "Caohe Atlas".
"Caohe husband, in the gate, called the gatekeeper, with the palm to open and close. Slipper, to pull the boat up and down. Those who are at the dam, called the dam man, pull the boat across the dam with a car. Those who are shallow shops are called shallow husbands, who inspect the embankments and trees, and greet the transport boats, so that they do not stick to the beach sand, or when they encounter the construction of embankments and dredging rivers, they gather and fight, and it is forbidden to catch thieves. Quanfu, to dredge the spring. Tangfu, to guard the pond. There is also a fisherman, and the call is uncertain. ”
This shallow man has the most responsibilities, and can even prohibit the capture of thieves, so they are all armed, bows, arrows, birds, etc.
In the Ming Dynasty, the old man system prevailed, the old man, the old man of Muduo, the old man of the set, the old man of the shop, the old man of the warehouse, the old man of the spring, the old man of water conservancy, the old man of the kiln and so on.
There are even old people at the ferry.
"There are ten husbands in each boat, and one old man in each state and county, to manage the vicinity, and the inspector is in charge of the yamen, and the name of the old man is still written at the stern of the boat.
The shallow old man belongs to the category of water conservancy elders, and in the shallow shops of the two rivers, the shallow old men are in charge, or more than a dozen people under him, or dozens of people.
They guide passing boats, repair embankments and dredge rivers, and all shops have to participate in routine work, and they are very experienced in controlling and preventing rivers.
For Yang He, he is very happy to make friends with Kang Youyin, a shallow old man.
The meaning of Yang He's words, Kang Youyin could naturally hear it, the wrinkles on his face were stretching, and finally asked what he was most concerned about.
"Where is the unknown minister going to stay?"
Yang Daodao: "It should be a piece of Xin'an Post on the north bank." ”
Kang Youyin immediately put his mind at ease, it was only more than thirty miles away from Shuanggoupu, and he said repeatedly: "The north bank is good, I am not afraid of the river breaking the embankment, and there are many abandoned villages in that area, so I can choose a place to live." ”
He stood up and said, "Here, the little old man wishes Xianggong a smooth journey." ”
Yang He also stood up and said with a smile: "Thanks to Kang Lao Jiyan, there will be a period later." ”
He gave the order to set off, but it was still Han Daxia and others who opened the way, and then he and Minister Yang rode behind, and his younger brothers and sisters were put into the basket.
Zhang Chugong, Yan Dezheng and others surrounded, leading war horses, carrying rosewood official hat chairs and small tables.
Then there were the killer teams, and then the women, children, and children, all of whom were coerced and coerced, all carrying full burdens, and the bodies of the wounded and the war dead were also inside, carried on stretchers.
Finally, there is the baggage team, which is just as picky and carrying, full of harvest.
They were in good order, and when they were gone, their figures vanished.
Only Yu Kang Youyin and others were standing, and there were bandit heads hanging on the willow trees.
As soon as the wind blows, it keeps shaking and making a rustling sound.
The Yellow River is still flowing eastward. (To be continued.) )
