Chapter 209: Harvest (2)
"Less nonsense!" Li Bantou is usually not only the county lord, but also the county Chengdian Shi saw him, and he had to hold hands and talk, which was very polite.
Although it is leather now, it will shake the Quartet by stomping his feet, arguing with this little rabbit cub, he has broken his identity, and he has been accused of being dismissed, and this thing is even more of a nest!
This evil fire couldn't be suppressed anymore, and at the moment the halberd pointed and scolded: "You are a little boy, dare to argue with the uncle?" Come, take it down for me, lock the chains in the yamen, and see if the uncle has the identity to take him when the time comes! ”
As he spoke, the leader of the team surnamed Li retreated straight back, and the idle men below naturally rushed up...... No matter how powerful the surname Guo is, it is difficult to defeat four hands with one hand, and there are dozens of people at this time, if you shrink and dare not move forward, you will be busy today and not talk about it, and no one will dare to call for this kind of thing in the future.
Guo Shuhua bit his lips tightly, and for a while, he made up his mind to shoot a few dead. His ancestors are from Henan, and they moved all the way in the face of famine, and foreigners were bullied wherever they went.
At this time, the archery and martial arts are very good, but what is stronger is the ability to serve the country through the world, military books and historical books, and know everything, but it is a pity that I didn't put my kung fu on the eight shares, and I can't get the show.
Now as long as there is a living member, this group of people will not dare to do this to him!
But this bird world, a few days ago, I felt that the prince was a wise lord, how is it now? Since the morning, the four villages and eight villages have been noisy, this village has not escaped when it arrives, the people are not aligned, the resistance to donations is not resistible, each family is just like a turtle with a shrunken head, waiting for people to find their heads, and then one by one they are cleaned up.
At this time, looking at the beaten green noses and swollen faces, all of them looked sturdy and sturdy, and squatted behind to watch the lively bastards, Guo Shuhua only felt that he wanted to burn, and he didn't want anything else, he just wanted to shoot a few, and then ran out overnight, the Ming Dynasty went on like this, it was necessary to die, stay here, it is better to walk in all directions, and see where the real dragon is in the future.
At this moment, someone shouted behind the idlers: "Stop, stop me." ”
Such a thunderous shout shook both sides at the moment.
Guo Shuhua's whole body was shocked, and he slowly put down the bow and arrow in his hand, and the helpers and idlers who pounced on him also had distorted faces and hurriedly jumped back.
Everyone turned their heads to look again, but they saw several men in strange-looking clothes, rushing over here.
When I got closer, I saw that it was a few soldiers from the New Army.
Whether it is Guo Shuhua or these idle men who have been enlisted, everyone knows the few people who will rush over, and they are all the young people of Honzhuang who went to serve when the crown prince recruited troops a few months ago.
At that time, being a soldier was not a good livelihood, and the reputation of the military households in the guard station had long been ruined after so many years. For more than 200 years, military households have fled year after year, and being a beggar is better than being a small army, and after a long time, the people have long been ignorant of the soldiers.
Among them, there are also Guo Shuhua's childhood classmates and playmates, who study together, but he was a child, and these people only know one or two hundred words, so they shouldn't be blind.
How many opportunities can ordinary peasant children have to read books? To be able to send their children to school, parents are already trying their best, and China has always had a tradition of reading to the greatest, so it has only been a few years of hard work to teach children to read and know a few words.
At this time, these young children in the village have already revealed a completely different spiritual temperament from the past.
Not to mention anything else, the clothes on the body and the felt hat on the head are absolutely different from the previous style, although the appearance is strange, but it looks very pleasing to the eye.
Each piece is very beautiful, and a group of young men walking together adds a bit of might.
The round felt hat with a blue and red tassel top, the upper body is a brand-new placket red jacket, and the lower body is blue pants, there is a bundle below the calf, which is tight and beautiful, and it is not as straight as the ordinary pants hanging down, and on everyone's feet, it is the leather boots that are wiped with black light and shiny to the calf.
The military cloth is the best Songjiang cloth, in addition to the hat and boots are very expensive, the workmanship is also very manual, just the waist of the placket is tightened, very show the waist, pants are also, from the trouser leg to the calf, is also a tight tight, the whole body line, are very smooth and beautiful.
Coupled with leather boots that are longer than the calf, no matter how you look at such a body, it has cost blood.
"The crown prince has a lot of money, tsk, how much does it cost to dress up like this?" As soon as he saw that it was such a group, the team leader's fast shift Li Bantou was relieved. Shicai shouted, he thought that some big man was coming, doing things these days, what he was most afraid of was that the prince sent the princes to come down to investigate, but fortunately, the prince seemed to be stumped by the matter of Yangzhou Yanzheng, and he didn't see anyone for a few days.
Anyway, local affairs, road construction and farming are the Department of Agriculture and Industry, collection of money and donations to officials is the Donation Bureau, the Quartermaster Department and the Military Industry Division, and sometimes they have to help out, and other things will not be taken care of.
When they saw that it was a group of poor soldiers, the squad leaders and the helpers all showed sarcastic smiles on their faces.
There is a village gang who has always been rampant in the village, and he even looks down on these young people in the village who have been bullied by themselves, and when everyone is close, he crosses his waist and scolds: "Lu Dalei, you bastards, you go to be a soldier for the crown prince, what are you doing when you come back?" ”
"Could it be that you escaped back?"
"If that's the case, strip their clothes, tie them up and send them back, and we will keep the clothes, and we can also receive a reward."
This military uniform is also really beautiful, these scoundrels, what evil things haven't they done? Looking at the red eyes at the moment, I really remembered it.
They didn't notice that every new soldier who came over had a serious Ming army-style waist knife on his waist.
Originally, in the Ming military camp, the pikemen were the cheapest, and the serious iron spears and spears were not worth a few dollars.
These soldiers are not qualified to be the masters, and even the backbone of the battalion soldiers is not qualified, they are just a spear, and they are ready to move forward. At the next level, there are sword players, archers and other troops that need martial arts skills.
Qualified gunners, just follow the team routine, knife players must know how to block swings, to know how to use a few knife techniques, without some effort, it is categorically impossible.
And the standard waist knife, where can it be lightly taught? If you are not a healthy person in the battalion, or a close confidant of the general's private army, how can you be issued a waist knife?
These standard waist knives are all made by Qi Jiguang's imitation of the Japanese knife, also known as the lancet, which is light and sharp, although it is not as sharp as the Japanese knife, but it is also a good weapon.
"If you want clothes, you can get them yourself."
It was closer, of course, and when he heard the other party's words, among the five or six soldiers, someone sneered: "I'm afraid that I have the courage to come, but I don't have the life to go back." ”
"Say what?"
"Are you looking for death?"
The idlers on the other side are also scoundrels who lick blood with knives, they have done all the evil things, fights and brawls are common, a few battalion soldiers, where can they be scared?
"Military law is strict, those who rob the belongings of soldiers will be killed!" Lu Dalei, who took the lead, was Guo Shuhua's classmate, and there was a little ink in his belly.
No matter how powerful the scoundrel is, there is not much boldness to violate the military law set by the crown prince, the matter of Yangzhou, the gentry and salt merchants ambush and punish the few, the scoundrels kill the most, and the scoundrels in Yangzhou and Suzhou in the past are almost swept away.
This kind of thing spread the fastest among these helpers, and I thought that as soon as the crown prince arrived in Huaishang, the first thing was to issue an edict that the government was not allowed to hire helpers, and violators were severely punished.
If you really violate military law, I am afraid it will be very bad.
After calming everyone, Lu Dalei said coldly: "We are coming back from vacation, there is a fake note issued by the camp management, and the big seal is on it, who said that we escaped back?" There are patrols from the Judge Advocate General's Department everywhere, and we can't find death? Besides, the one or two or five a month was turned into a cavalry, and we ran home like crazy? We shouldn't have been in your business, but you're too bold. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has repeatedly ordered that the people are allowed to pay taxes with new grain, and that the taxes paid can be handed over to the Generalissimo's Mansion for camping, and the local envoy fees will be allocated by the Generalissimo's Office as appropriate...... The positive payment has been paid early, do you dare to collect it again? ”
"That is, when the national crisis is at hand, the song we sang to persuade the soldiers said that we would defend the people, you are good, and you will cause chaos for us later!"
"Dongyu is here, you are the fastest to descend."
All the soldiers were originally simple and wooden peasant youths, but at this time, they were all clear and clear-mouthed, and their speech was also very clever, gossiping, persuading, and reprimanding, for a while, dozens of people were stunned and unable to move, and there were quite a few people in the crowd who looked ashamed.
"Phew, you're bluffing us? If Donglu comes or not, who cares about him? Even if the Dongyu comes, he has to ask people to come down to collect miscellaneous pies, and he has to ask the people to pay taxes after finishing their food! Li Bantou is experienced and knows that he can't be disrupted, so he said coldly at the moment: "You soldiers eat food, I don't care if you are deserters from the barracks, and you don't have to worry about our affairs, everyone is busy with their own people, surnamed Guo, now I tell you that the collection is the miscellaneous fees of the post station that the county lord called the levy, which is also approved by the imperial court, without this silver, where does the money come from?" Don't extort it, your family has just got new grain, and if you don't have any money, you will sell it, or you will take something to pay, and the people from the grain store and the money village are here, so you can choose a way at will. But there is only one case, if you refuse to pay it, it doesn't matter if you can be martial, I only do things for the county lord here, if you dare to rebel, you can do it. ”
This person is really slippery, and his vision is also very accurate, he can see that Guo Shuhua has a desire to fight, and now he is saying this, which is to tell these soldiers to be careful, don't get involved with the rebels. Moreover, it is clear that it is a major order of the county order, and the soldiers are in charge of their own food, and it is better to take care of local affairs.
Saying this, several soldiers who came over were a little hesitant, and when Lu Dalei thought about it for a while, he shook his head and stepped aside.
