Chapter 060: Uninvited Guest

Because it is a guest battle, the military merits must be confirmed by the host army to be valid, Qingmo found the town navy Si Xunlang to handle related matters, but touched a nose of ash, Si Xunlang refused to record the merit on the grounds of not knowing the Qing Navy coordination, Qingmo heard the fire, and made a big fuss on the spot. The Si Xunlang of the town navy is also a dog temper, and he actually ordered to detain Qingmo, and the hated Qingmo arrested him and beat him severely, breaking two ribs and unable to get up, Li Mao couldn't cry and laugh when he heard the report, so he had to go to Uncle Zhang in person to apologize and resolve the matter.

At this moment, the situation in the city has been settled, and the town navy has issued a list to ask the people to return to their own houses, and not to linger on the streets, and the violators will be punished by rebels, so the streets are empty, and only the soldiers and horses of all walks of life are left to go back and forth.

Li Mao rode a horse and walked not far, and suddenly heard a cry from the street side, the cry was terrible, and he was shocked when he heard it, so he turned around and broke into the door, the street in the square was deserted, and the attics and walls of the houses on both sides were crowded. The people in the city poked their heads out to look out, and when they saw Li Mao coming, they all retracted their heads, and when he passed, they poked their heads out again.

The accident occurred at the house of a medicinal herb merchant surnamed Ge in the northwest corner of the workshop, and a group of town navy sergeants broke into Ge's house in the name of searching for the pirate remnants, and seized a golden Buddha, two boxes of jewelry and thirty Shu brocades. The Golden Buddha is the family heirloom of the Ge family, and the Ge family would rather die than let go, and the soldiers beat the head of the family and threatened to arrest him and imprison him for the crime of gangsterry.

The four daughters-in-law of this family are used to being at home, and they sat on the ground and howled when they saw this situation.

Li Mao summoned the gang leader and asked him if there was indeed evidence of the Ge family's bandits, but the gang leader couldn't say anything, so Li Mao knew that he was framed, so he ordered him to be released. The gang commander knew Li Mao and sneered: "What is the reason why the grain officer of the Qing Navy came to take charge of the Navy? Mo Qi said: "The chief is the chief, how can there be a distinction between Qinghai and Zhenhai?" If you disobey the order, you will die. A pawn didn't know the severity, he sneered, the laughter was not finished, the Mo Qi magic knife had been chopped, the hair bun flew in the air, bluffing him on the spot, everyone saw that Mo Qi's magic eyes were as fierce as a wolf, and they were all frightened and did not dare to move.

Uncle Zhang heard about this on the sickbed at night, and said to the deputy envoy and the Marquis of Yu: "He is still young, he has a lot of scruples, I am old, this time the Lord of Yama is willing to let me go, it is already a blessing, what else do I care?" The brothers are poor, let them take some, but they can't do those things that hurt heaven and reason, the murderer is beheaded, and the **** woman is beheaded. ”

When everyone retreated, he summoned his confidant secretary to the front of the bed and instructed: "Li Mao has made a great contribution to the destruction of the city this time, and you must make a strong stroke when asking for credit." The secretary said: "The city is fought by the soldiers with their lives, even if he has merit, he has also picked up a bargain, how can he be entrusted to others?" Moreover, Mizhou has repeatedly urged us to break the city, and now that we have finally broken the city, we have to give him a share of this credit, this ...... I'm afraid that the soldiers will not be convinced. ”

Uncle Zhang said with a smile: "You don't have to ask about the joints in this, doing what I say will naturally be beneficial." ”

When Li Mao saw Uncle Zhang, he took the initiative to ask for guilt, and Uncle Zhang smiled and said: "Young people are hot, fight to extinguish the fire, just right!" As for those scum, if they don't obey military orders and do misdeeds, why kill them? At the moment, he said to Li Mao: "As the old saying goes, Yun Ci is not in charge of soldiers, righteousness is not in charge of wealth, he is a general, he is decisive, and he must not hesitate at all, otherwise he will die and his reputation will be laughed at by the world, Maohua remember." He left Li Mao to drink and feast in the camp, and Uncle Zhang was seriously injured at night and accompanied him personally, but Li Mao couldn't bear to refuse. After the banquet was dispersed at the third watch, Uncle Zhang left Li Mao to rest in the camp at night, and it was already dawn when Li Mao woke up.

It was night, the town navy plundered the East China Sea City in the name of catching thieves, at dawn, Yu Hou led his troops into the city, and told the three armies not to plunder people's money, not to **** women, not to kill or injure people's lives, violators will be beheaded, after killing a few birds, the three armies are peaceful.

The people of the city shouted Uncle Zhang's benevolence and righteousness.

The East China Sea City was broken, the three people were seriously injured, and the bandits in Haizhou subsided, and the two towns and four roads army subdivisions occupied one city and four counties in Haizhou, and captured the three remnants of the Bird and Lao San, and appeased the people, which was not only the responsibility of the officials and soldiers, but also a welfare - many times judging whether a person is a remnant of bandits is simply a sentence of the officials and soldiers.

According to the military system of the Tang Dynasty, the city and the formation were all in battle, so although the battle was fought with more and fewer blows, and it was once embarrassing, the result was good. At the behest of Zhang Shuye, Si Xunlang operated specifically, and Li Mao, the grain officer of the Qing Navy who presided over the siege of the city, was awarded a first-class meritorious service on the battlefield and was awarded four transfers.

After the Tang Dynasty, there was a flood of honors and honors in the army, and many soldiers disdained it. After receiving the rank of meritorious service, not only did they not get the corresponding benefits, but they also had to spend a sum of money to go to the military department to buy a worthless farewell, so most of the soldiers were unwilling to accept this false name.

Therefore, when they learned that Li Mao, the food officer of the foreign army, had been awarded a first-class meritorious service, instead of being jealous, everyone clapped their hands and applauded, thinking that they had come out with a big wrong.

After the breach of Tokai Castle, the large-scale military operation was declared over, and the official army and the rebels were in private contact, bargaining, and discussing the matter of recruiting peace.

Donghai County was divided into three, the northwest and county seats were garrisoned by the town navy, the southeast coastal area was garrisoned by the Wei Bo army, and the southwest was garrisoned by the Lu army. The Qing Navy was still a hundred miles away from Donghai County at this time, Zhao Hede was afraid that he would suffer a loss, and hurriedly ordered Li Mao to garrison Donghai County, after some bargaining, Zhang Shuye divided a defense area for Li Mao in the county, the location is around the City God Temple, where merchants gather, the people are relatively rich, and it can be regarded as a treasure of feng shui.

As a guest army, Wei Bojun made a great contribution to quelling the rebellion, and as a reward, Zhang Shuye originally planned to hand over the relatively rich Shuyang County to Wei Bojun to garrison, but Wei Bojun did not accept this, and they took the initiative to ask for the eastern coast of Donghai County to be handed over to them. The reason for this is that most of the Qin family's industries are concentrated here, and they are garrisoned by Wei Bojun, which is more conducive to protection.

Because of Tian Qi, Li Mao was particularly concerned about Wei Bojun's affairs, and he was close at the moment, so he was even more careful. After the war subsided, the Qin family father and son planned to move back to the county seat, decorate the family house, and prepare for the wedding, but a fire burned the Qin family's house in the upwind and water area of the county seat, and the wedding date scheduled for the eighth day of October had to be postponed by one month.

Suddenly, more than ten days later, the three subordinates of the old bird who had escaped died or descended or went into exile, and dispersed like a cloud of smoke. It is said that he died of a knife wound and vomited blood on the way to Chuzhou, and some of his retinue presented his saber and crown to the government, and some of his retinue offered a highly decomposed human head to the government, claiming to be the third of the bird himself.

In order to stabilize people's hearts, Li Shidao asked the Haizhou local government to announce that the third bird was dead and that the bandit trouble in Haizhou had ended.

Donghai County gradually calmed down, the wealthy gentry and officials who had fled abroad returned one after another, and the order in the city was in good order, and it gradually regained its vitality. One day, Uncle Zhang invited Li Mao to the camp for a banquet at night, during which he euphemistically proposed that the Qing Navy should evacuate the East China Sea. Uncle Zhang reluctantly agreed.

Ten days passed, the Qing navy's lightly wounded were basically healed, and the six seriously wounded were able to walk around the ground, Li Mao informed Zhang Shuye that he would pull out the camp and leave the city, and only six seriously wounded would be temporarily placed in the City God Temple.

Zhang Shuye was very happy about this, and the food and salary provided to the Qing Navy was extremely rich.

The weather was cold, the winter in Haizhou was cold and damp, Li Mao couldn't stand the weather, so he asked Qingmo to set up a fire pit on the ground, and barbecued meat and drank wine around the fire pit at night, which was also a beautiful thing.

In the afternoon of this day, Uncle Zhang sent someone to send a fresh deer leg, which was concocted by the Moqi god using the Moqi technique, and Li Mao and Qingmo drank wine and ate meat around the fire pond, and before they knew it, it was getting late. Suddenly, a gust of cold wind poured in, and the charcoal in the fire pond was booming, and Li Mao, who was sitting at the downwind outlet, hurriedly covered his face with his hands.

Mo Qi went to fasten the door curtain, but Li Mao lost the interest in drinking, and after telling Qingmo to go to the city to purchase carriages and medicines on the second day, he stretched his waist greatly.

Seeing this, the two got up and took their leave. After the two of them withdrew, Li Mao still sat and did not move, holding a wine glass in his hand, slowly tasting the wine, but the knife that cut the deer fell one by one, and the blade turned outward.

A lean man came out of the shadow of the tent, with a smile on his face, sat down opposite Li Mao generously, picked up Qingmo's wine glass and knife, cut meat, drank wine, and was content.
