Chapter Forty-Nine: Dr. Lan Brings News of the Guan Family

Cao Laosan and Li Guangtian, who were supposed to be the victors, stood together with the officers and soldiers who were captured by themselves at this time, which made them feel more uncomfortable than killing themselves.

Yang Ming's intention to stimulate the sense of honor of the soldiers of the Han family camp had an effect on the two of them, and both of them now buried their heads very deeply, and they felt very ashamed, even Cao Laosan's daughter-in-law and father and Li Guangtian's daughter consciously hid in the corner, and were ashamed to see people.

"If Cao Laosan doesn't make a mistake, I'm afraid he can sit on the stage like the two boys of the Lan family and the Liu family."

A villager whispered to an old man.

"Yes, this Cao Laosan and Li Guangtian didn't make any big mistakes, and I also heard that they are still the two people who killed the most enemies, but the military law is ruthless, who told them that they didn't guard the three gates of Hanjia Village, which caused Hanjia Village to be almost broken, and the son must learn from Zhuge Liang's tears and horses."

The old man touched his beard and said.

The villagers next to him nodded approvingly.

At this time, Yang Mingxian stood up: "Fellow villagers, this time the officers and soldiers attacked, our Hanjia camp was not well protected, resulting in the death of more than 300 villagers, here, on behalf of all the soldiers of the Hanjia camp, I apologize to everyone, and ask for your forgiveness!" ”

The villagers didn't expect that the first thing Yang Ming did was to apologize to everyone, and many people couldn't help but shed tears, in their eyes, Yang Gongzi was almost the master of Hanjia Village, and Yang Ming apologized to them so humbly today, how could they not feel satisfied.

It's like some officials who don't have money to give food and food when they encounter a catastrophe, but as long as they apologize to the people, sometimes even if they don't have money to help, they will make the people satisfied, thinking that he is a good official, and he will not make trouble even if he is hungry and cold.

It can be said that the Chinese people have always been the most tolerant, the most easily satisfied, and the most easily deceived masses.

Yang Ming saw that the villagers all cast approving eyes, and his heart was also much happier, after all, this means that the villagers will not lose their enthusiasm for farming and production because of this attack, and they can quickly resume production and life.

Next, Yang Ming made a specific summary of the self-defense war; The gains and losses were told to everyone completely.

It can be said that the biggest reason why Hanjia Village was able to avoid being slaughtered by officers and soldiers this time was that the villagers had already taken all precautions under the leadership of Yang Ming and carried out drills at all times, so that they could respond quickly to various emergencies.

Moreover, in the early days of the war of self-defense, the military power of the Hanjia battalion did not play much of a role.

If Xu Shuixian, a villager of Hanjia Village, hadn't discovered Guan Jiaren's conspiracy in time and risked his life to travel dozens of miles overnight to inform Yang Ming of the news, most of the military forces in Hanjia Village would have had no time to return to help Hanjia Village, and they would not have taken Dongxiang County.

Also, if it weren't for Gu Xiaoyuan to find clues from the details and make a decisive decision, even if there were two fierce generals in Hanjia Village, Cao Laosan and Li Guangtian, it would be in vain.

"It can be said that the biggest hero of this victory is not me Yang Ming, nor is it the head of each mark, Narcissus and Miss Block, especially Narcissus, although our whole village is prejudiced against her, but she is not resentful because of this, in the most dangerous time in our Hanjia Village, it was she a weak woman who risked her life to run out to inform the news, so that we escaped the danger of being slaughtered!"

Yang Ming said, many villagers also began to learn to look at Xu Shuixian with normal eyes, and Xu Shuixian lowered her head shyly, only she knew that she was not as great as Gongzi said, the only thing she thought of at that time was that Gongzi was in danger, so she was fearless, not because of Hanjia Village.

But Xu Shuixian can't defend now, and she can't defend herself, because Yang Ming has already grabbed her hands, led her to the front of the stage, and encouraged her to tell everyone how she felt at that time.

Seeing that Gongzi, the villagers, and Miss Du all smiled and applauded him, Xu Shuixian had to bow his head and say: "The slave family, the slave family just listens to the son, and the son said that the villagers of our Hanjia Village are all a family, so I also treat everyone as a family." ”

"Sister-in-law Narcissus is right, we are all family!"

Yang Ming saw that Xu Shuixian's face was flushed, and he also knew that she was very nervous now, so he answered and asked Xu Shuixian to go back and sit.

Then, Yang Ming asked Plug Xiaoyuan to speak, Plug Xiaoyuan was much calmer than Xu Shuiyuan, and her witty words were like pearls, her voice was like a nightingale whispering, which was more infectious than Yang Ming, which also made Xu Shuiyuan envious, and she still did not give up her mind to keep up with Plug Xiaoyuan.

Next, it is the punishment of these captured officers and soldiers, although Yang Ming wants to execute them by trial to put an end to the behavior of his subordinates executing prisoners privately, but these officers and soldiers are really guilty of great crimes, and they owe a lot of blood debts in Hanjia Village, Yang Ming did not relent, and immediately announced that all officers and soldiers would be sentenced to death, leaving no one alive!

Naturally, the villagers were very good at this, and Cao Laosan and Li Guangtian were punished for their mistakes.

Among them, Cao Laosan was demoted to the deputy standard commander and temporarily took the third standard, beat 40 military sticks, fined him for three months, and was confined for 10 days; Li Guangtian was demoted to the deputy team and was temporarily leading the third team of the third standard, beating 20 military sticks and punishing him to keep a three-day vigil for the sacrificed soldiers.

Although it was a light punishment, punishing them in front of the whole village made them feel more uncomfortable than killing them, and even the two of them, who had become princes decades later, were often ashamed to mention it, and almost beat up the Hanlin scholar who recorded the incident.

On this day, Dr. Lan, who had been out for half a month, rushed back to Hanjia Village.

"Childe, according to your instructions, I have already inquired about Guan Jiaren's situation, although he is only an enlarged student of Dongxiang County's county school, his power should not be underestimated, his sister is the ninth concubine of the second son of Chen Ge"

"Wait, the ninth concubine room of Chen Ge's second son? Is this Chen Ge old Chen Yan? ”

Yang Ming only knew that there was a cabinet scholar named Chen Yan during the Chongzhen period, so he asked with some curiosity.

"Son, how did you know, this Chen Ge Lao is called Chen Yan, not only that, this Guan family's grandfather also did the imperial history during the Wanli period, and also married the Yangzhou Mao family, and the Guan family runs an iron field in Zhangjiachang, and has industries in Chongqing, Chengdu and even Nanjing, and there are relatives in the court who are officials in various places, and they are famous rich and noble families in Kuizhou Mansion."

Before Dr. Lan could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Yang Ming: "Okay, tell me where his house is!" ”

"His family lives in Huangshi Village, Zhangjiachang Town, and he is a well-known local squire, so it's easy to inquire."

, Doctor Lan said and persuaded: "Childe, there is an old man behind this Guan family, and there is also the foil of the impostor family, you see if we can endure it for the time being." ”

Endure?

Yang Ming couldn't help but smile, maybe people in this era will take Chen Yan seriously, but he doesn't think that a pavilion elder in the last days can be any threat, not to mention, not to mention that this Guan Jiaren is just a little related to the elder of the first pavilion, even if Emperor Chongzhen decrees that he let Guan Jiaren go, then it can't!
