Section 114 Beginnings
Bianjing City south gate outside the west, Lingzhou Zhuangyuan northwest ten miles away, a Zhuangzi of no more than 100 acres is located here, the owner of the village surnamed Li, himself was a member of the army, barely considered to be born in the door, now the old man returned home to recuperate, on the surface is ordinary but, in fact it is one of the vassals of the Shi family.
Shi Yuanqing sat on the main seat in the living room of the Li family and listened to the reports of his subordinates. Although this guy is the son of the Shi family, he is also considered a top nobleman in the Song Kingdom, but perhaps because of his family education, or maybe because of the mentality that has been resolved after years of suppression, his performance always makes people feel inappropriate, or to put it another way...... There is less of a trace of the calmness of the successful and the grace of the noble.
As the eldest son of the Shi family, Shi Yuanqing has no experience in the army, and this time he can work alone, but it gives him the opportunity to act arbitrarily. The reception hall of the Li family is arranged like the white tiger festival hall of the army, the main chair with the whole tiger skin is placed in the center, the back of the chair is the flag and the festival symbol of each family, there are four or five chairs on both sides in front of the main seat, and then the outer layer, there is a circle of shirtless strong men who stand tall and dig their stomachs, although this scenery is majestic, but there is also a suspicion of nondescriptness.
Of course, the so-called nondescript, Shi Yuanqing didn't have this experience, he was maintaining a solemn expression at this moment, listening to the words of a few salt gang men.
"Shi Gongzi, I have three brothers who were arrested by the Lingzhou people, do you think you should do it earlier? If it's too late, I'm afraid the lives of those three brothers will not be saved......" A bearded man dressed as the head of the platoon told anxiously.
"How could it be arrested for the people of Lingzhou?" Shi Yuanqing frowned and asked.
The strong man arched his hand and said frankly: "So that the son can know that every time the people of Lingzhou make a move, they are all horses opening the way and have knives and bows, but our people are only barefoot men. If there is a war, the Lingzhou people gallop on horseback, how to deal with it? ”
Shi Yuanqing grabbed the face and beard on his face and groaned for a while, before he pretended to be calm and said: "It's okay, there are also people under the command of this prince who are good at riding and shooting, and when the battle comes, there are people who will deal with the Lingzhou cavalry, and you only need to wave the flag and obey it......"
Obviously, Shi Yuanqing's words could not appease people's hearts, and the strong man hesitated for a moment before repeating his words: "Shi Gongzi, my three brothers were taken captive by the Lingzhou people, if you can't rescue them, please make a plan earlier, otherwise I'm afraid people's hearts will be unstable!" ”
"Don't worry!" Shi Yuanqing pretended to wave his hand indifferently, "Yang Jingzong killed five lives of the Lingzhou people before, and they only cut off a few fingers, doesn't Hall Master Gu know?" Peace of mind is ...... Kaifeng Mansion is an important place in Gyeonggi, with a garrison of tens of thousands, and there are only more than 100 people in Lingzhou, how dare they kill people in vain? ”
"But, ......" The strong man known as Hall Master Gu opened his mouth, wanting to urge the other party to find a way to save his subordinates, but he didn't know how to phrase it, and suddenly froze on the spot.
Shi Yuanqing didn't feel embarrassed, and said to himself: "Master Gu doesn't need to be anxious, this time, this son is not for property, but for his father...... The Lingzhou people are extremely poor and luxurious, and they have a lot of money, and when they defeat the Lingzhou people, all the property they get belongs to you, and they share some money to compensate for the casualties, but it's just a trivial matter, why worry about it? And step back ......"
Hall Master Gu looked silent and wanted to speak, but he didn't know how to speak, so he could only bow his hand slightly and retreat.
A short, thin but fair-skinned man walked up quickly, gave a long slap with his hands, got up again, and said quickly in an official dialect with a distinctly southern accent: "I have seen Shi Changgongzi, the contemptible salt gang Sun Changli, the treasurer of Mengda ordered the contemptible people to come to Tong Shi Changgongzi, the necessary swords and swords are ready, and the congregation of the contemptible gang is also in place, just wait for the eldest son's order......"
"Hah, good!" Shi Yuanqing stood up with a wild laugh, full of joy at the people of the Salt Gang in front of him, and turned to the guards on the side and said loudly: "Go and ask Zheng Yuhou and General Li to come over......
The guard said yes and walked out quickly.
Shi Yuanqing pulled Sun Changli of the Salt Gang to ask, Sun Changli, who was born as a businessman, deliberately got closer, and the two were happy.
Although Shi Yuanqing's actions are a little anxious, but he is not stupid, he understands better than anyone that the reason why this row of people from the Salt Gang flock around him is for his father, who was imprisoned by the emperor at home and not allowed to go out, and also for the large wealth of the people of Lingzhou, and if it can be done this time, it means that he Shi Yuanqing has used other people's wealth to pull a lot of support for himself, and he can get a different look at his father at home.
Therefore, it is really not too easy to say a few good words to win people's hearts for him, a concubine.
Time was very fast, and when the two were talking enthusiastically, two men who were obviously in the ranks walked in with the guards, and the leader had just stepped on the ground of the lobby through the steps in front of the door, and said loudly: "Eldest son, are the personnel neat?" There are three days left for the Spring Festival, and the big guys are thinking about the festival at home, and it will be bad to delay any longer! ”
Although this person has an honorific title on his lips, he has no scruples in his rough voice, and he even lacks the basic meeting etiquette nowadays, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is the heart of the Shi family.
Shi Yuanqing was not annoyed, but stood up, squinted his eyes with a smile on his face and replied: "Marquis Zheng Yu came just in time!" And General Li, can you two rest? This is the salt gang Sun Changli Sun steward, this attack on Lingzhou people can not make full use of the military blades, the salt gang everyone knows the general situation, sent a new sword and bow and arrow for use......"
"Well said, well said!" The slight unhappiness on Zheng Yuhou's face suddenly disappeared, squinted and partnered with Sun Changli, and said: "The salt gang has a way to make money, Zheng has heard of it a long time ago, and now there is a fate to work together, but it is very rare, and it should be often moved around in the future!" ”
Sun Changli is obviously a long-sleeved guy who is good at dancing, and under the pressure of several tall people, he replied happily: "What Zheng Yuhou said is very true, the eldest son has many nobles, Sun does not dare to disturb without authorization, and another day Sun will have time to be the east, together with the Yan Gang, Zheng Yuhou and General Li will definitely go to get close and close!" ”
Everyone was satisfied with these words, and Shi Yuanqing was also willing to promote it, no matter what was going on in front of him, or a group of harmony in the future, it was a qualification for him to succeed.
Seeing that the interests are in front, the people on several sides are less boring, but it is a rare group of harmony, headed by Shi Yuanqing, the two low-level generals of the forbidden army, Sun Changli of the Salt Gang, Gu Tang Master of the Pai Gang, plus some middle-level nobles in Bianjing City who came later, and a group of people can be said to regard the so-called "Lingzhou people" as meat to be slaughtered.
It's just that after everyone has gathered and discussed where to attack, and then we talk about who is the vanguard, who is the main attacker, and who is the rear team, there is another controversy.
With a thick voice, Zheng Yuhou said without scruples: "A certain handsome 200 elite of the forbidden army is responsible for piercing the northwest of Lingzhou and penetrating the core of their village...... Lingzhou people are known to be fierce, so this battle must not have war damage, a certain family is not greedy, except for all the horses of Lingzhou people to be captured, the rest of the income needs to be 20% as a pension! ”
"Zheng Yuhou is greedy!" Gu Tang, who was a little depressed before, couldn't take care of the taboo of the Shi family, and argued with a red face: "My platoon gang has the largest number of people, and it is the location of the east riverbank, who doesn't know that the river beach is muddy and difficult to walk in winter, if the people of Lingzhou have a move, it will not be a big loss and it will not be gained!" How to make up for the loss? Zheng Yuhou only has 200 people, and he can get 20% of the property plus Lingzhou people's horses, of which Lingzhou people's horses are by no means comparable to 50% of their wealth! I helped 1,500 people, and my contribution was much higher than that of the forbidden army, why is the distribution so unfair, do you think that you can buy human lives with only 30% of your property? ”
Over there, Sun Changli stood up, held his shoulders that were not broad, and refuted in a pinched voice: "Hall Master Gu's words are wrong, not to mention the difference in combat strength between the brave people in the army and your platoon gang, just saying that there are people in the forbidden army who come out of the battle, you can be intimidated, can the platoon gang have such prestige?" In addition, if we talk about human life, who has no one who dares to die? Sun is not talented, and there are also tens of millions of salt Ding who exist according to a certain one, Gu Tang Master wants to quit, and he needs Sun to recruit people? ”
Hall Master Gu was speechless for a moment.
The messy controversy is annoying, but Shi Yuanqing is overjoyed, Huo Ran got up, and said loudly: "Everyone, the controversy is over, don't hurt the harmony, Lingzhou people are not childish, tonight still needs you to work together, if you can really overcome it in one fell swoop, then you can get a lot of money, have a rich festival, and Shi will also tell his father, then the father will play tomorrow, and you will have this opportunity to go straight to the holy hearing!" ”
"Wow, good luck!" Most of the people cheered in unison, and this is the real lottery that everyone expected.
The Li family Zhuangzi was completely boiling, busy negotiating with each other, busy relaxing themselves before the war, and busy carrying all kinds of blades and equipment...... This situation was like a huge ant nest, and everyone moved.
In the eyes of everyone here, Lingzhou people are just more than 100 outsiders, although they are powerful, but they have limited manpower, and they hold gold to pass the market without knowing it.
