Chapter 44: 'Sharing the Spoils'
~~~~~~~
Mi Yizhen got on the boat with his family, and was just about to order the helmsman to run away, when a sailor suddenly ran up in horror and shouted: "My lord, something is wrong, the bilge is leaking, and there may be water ghosts in the bilge." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"What?" Mi Yizhen's face couldn't help but change greatly.
A few relatives around him also panicked, looked at each other, and didn't know what to do for a while.
Miao Yizhen can get to this day, and he is by no means an idle person, there are not only his wife, children and concubines on the ship, but also his life savings, he gritted his teeth, pulled out his waist knife fiercely, and shouted: "What are you panicking about? Come on, come with me and kill the water ghosts below. ”
Only then did a few relatives react, hurriedly picked up their weapons, and were about to run towards the bilge.
But at this time, someone on the deck suddenly shouted, "My lord, it's not good, we are surrounded by people." ”
Mi Yizhen was already anxious, and when she heard this, her anger rushed to her head, "What the hell are you talking about?" Lao Tzu cut you. ”
But as he spoke, he did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly climbed out of the cabin and came to the deck.
I saw that where I came into view, there were dozens of ships of all kinds, slowly moving towards his big boat.
The dense sparks on the boat were dotted, and Mi Yizhen recognized it at a glance, it was a rocket, and tonight, he was destined to have wings and could not fly.
"Mi Yizhen, get acquainted, hurry up and arrest it. Otherwise, when the rocket passes, your wife and children will follow you and feed the Dragon King. Junko was drinking in a small boat not far away.
Mi Yizhen's face was like ashes, and he suddenly remembered the fort city, but he glanced over there, and suddenly gave up, the back gate of the fort city had been controlled by more than 100 Ming soldiers, and he no longer had any chance.
But he still didn't give up far away, and suddenly shouted: "Dog thief, if you want Lao Tzu's life, it's not so easy, if you have the ability, come and take it!" ”
As he spoke, his face was hideous, and he shouted loudly to make the family members around him resist.
Not far away, Li Yuanqing let out a long breath of turbidity, "Let go of the arrow." ”
"Yes." Some soldiers hurriedly transmitted the information to the direction of the boat.
Soon, the dense rockets, like brilliant fireworks, smashed straight down on the big ship of Mi Yizhen, and the small boats around them also began to attack.
Originally, Li Yuanqing still wanted to keep this big ship, after all, this is also a lot of silver, but now, it can only be done in an extreme way.
The overall situation was decided, and the battle lasted less than a quarter of an hour, and then it was rushed.
Mi Yizhen was tied up and brought to Chen Zhong, Zhang Pan and Li Yuanqing.
At this point, Mi Yizhen had no choice, knelt on the ground and kowtowed desperately, "I beg you to spare your lives, I am willing to give all my family property, and I beg you to spare your lives." ”
Chen Zhong smiled coldly, his hand raised and fell, and he had already lifted his head in his hand, "Evil thief, when you bullied the people, do you remember that there will be today?" ”
This scene was really bloody, Zhang Pan's face was slightly different, and he gently looked away.
Li Yuanqing is not too unnatural, in this world, either I kill the enemy, or the enemy kills me, for a dangerous person like Mi Yizhen, a trace of mercy may harm not only himself, but also his family, and hundreds of people.
Chen Zhong asked people to put away Mi Yizhen's head, kicked Mi Yizhen's body to the side, and raised his head to the sky and let out a long roar, "Happy." ”
His resentment in the past few days, with the separation of Mi Yizhen's body, has finally been completely vented.
Soon, Wang Hai brought someone to report, "Ladies and gentlemen, our army has taken control of the situation. Twenty-three people from the Mai Yizhen family were arrested, and their families were seventy or eighty people, and their belongings were still being counted. ”
Wang Hai did not have an official status at this time, but both Chen Zhong and Zhang Pan knew that Li Yuanqing appreciated this young man very much, and it was only a matter of time before he was promoted, so naturally he didn't care about it.
This is also something that can only be seen under the command of the emerging Mao Wenlong, after all, the year before, whether it was Zhang Pan or Chen Zhong, they were just small soldiers.
Zhang Pan smiled gently, "Brother Wang, thank you for your hard work." ”
Wang Hai smiled shyly, didn't say much, and carefully stepped aside.
In a moment, twenty-three family members were brought up, these people are all elite people, all of them are in the prime of life, if it weren't for Li Yuanqing's thoughtful calculation in advance, if he wanted to take them down, without paying dozens of lives, I'm afraid it would never be possible.
But at this time, the situation was completely under the control of Li Yuanqing and the others, and these family members had no courage, so they had to kneel on the ground and kowtow and beg for mercy.
Chen Zhong smiled coldly and waved his hand at the soldiers beside him.
In an instant, dozens of people stepped forward and slashed indiscriminately, directly beheading all the twenty-three people, and the pungent smell of blood filled the ground.
Zhang Pan wrinkled his nose lightly and smiled: "Old Chen, Yuanqing, the overall situation has been decided." ”
The killing intent on Chen Zhong's body retreated slightly, "According to the general and me, we must kill all these people." It's because of Yuanqing's kindness, otherwise, none of these people would want to run. ”
Li Yuanqing slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air and said with a smile: "Brother Chen, Brother Zhang, don't talk about these boring things." Mi Yizhen is solved, let's see what good things he leaves for us. ”
…………
As the sky grew brighter, the people in the fort also got the news, and under the leadership of a hundred households, they opened the city gate and surrendered to the Ming army.
At this time, the finances on the ship of Mi Yizhen were also counted, and there were more than 2,000 taels of silver alone, as well as some antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and silk and satin, which could also be worth two or three thousand taels of silver.
Accepting the surrender of his subordinates first, Li Yuanqing and the others came to the hall in the fort city.
Outside, Mi Yizhen's subordinates had already gathered in the open space at the entrance of the hall, and they had been disarmed, waiting for the Ming army's judgment on them.
Chen Zhong whispered to Li Yuanqing: "Yuanqing, the order given to us by the general is to eliminate the evil and do everything ......."
Li Yuanqing nodded, "Brother Chen, you will screen people again, and those who are guilty can be secretly ~ executed." ”
Chen Zhong nodded, waved his hand and beckoned one of his personal soldiers, whispered a few words, and the personal soldier quickly left.
Li Yuanqing's eyes were a little confused, it wasn't that he didn't want to talk about credibility, it's just that he couldn't help himself when he was in the rivers and lakes.
Li Yuanqing, Chen Zhong, and Zhang Pan sat in the official hall drinking tea, and after a short time, Chen Zhong's personal soldiers came back and whispered a few words to Chen Zhong.
Chen Zhong nodded slightly at Li Yuanqing.
Li Yuanqing smiled, "Two big brothers, arrange the people outside, and we should divide the silver." ”
Chen Zhong and Zhang Pan couldn't help laughing.
Soon, the crowd outside the gate was driven outside the fort, and some soldiers brought over Mi Yizhen's inventory and family members.
From Guangning to the present, this is the first time that Li Yuanqing, Chen Zhong, and Zhang Pan have reaped the fruits of victory.
After all, the previous victories were all distributed by Mao Wenlong, and he personally distributed them.
All the items were converted into silver, about five thousand taels, and there were a few boats, and there were a lot of weapons and armor.
Chen Zhong and Zhang Pan looked at these belongings, their eyes were a little straight, and neither of them spoke first.
Li Yuanqing said with a smile: "Mi Yizhen, a dog thief, has done all the evil things and died a well-deserved death, and we can be regarded as avenging the people nearby." These belongings are all people's fat and people's ointment, except for a part handed over to the general, a few of us can also replenish the wounded troops. ”
Listening to what Li Yuanqing said is so straightforward, how can Chen Zhong and Zhang Pan not understand?
Of course, Chen Zhong understands that he and Li Yuanqing are brothers, and he will never lose himself.
But Zhang Pan was a little angry after all, he paused for a moment, and said with a somewhat embarrassed smile: "Yuanqing, according to you, how should we ...... these?"
Li Yuanqing smiled, waved his hand and retreated from the pro-soldiers in the hall, "Five thousand taels is not too much, and it is not too much to say less." Brother Chen, Brother Zhang, we have just formed the army, and there are many places where we need silver. In my opinion, three thousand taels will be left for the general, and the remaining two thousand taels will be ...... for the three of us."
Li Yuanqing said and made a few very simple gestures.
Zhang Pan was stunned for a moment, reacted for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Yuanqing, how can this work?" This night attack is mainly your soldiers, how can you only need two hundred taels? Then Lao Chen and I will really have no face. ”
Chen Zhong also said: "Yuanqing, let's divide it equally, six hundred taels per person." ”
Li Yuanqing smiled, "The two eldest brothers don't be impatient. After all, there are many of you, so you should take more. There are few people on my side, so it doesn't matter if you take less. Don't forget, we also captured a lot of weapons and armor, and the two eldest brothers only need to take care of the younger brother in terms of armor......"
…………
With Li Yuanqing as a 'lubricant', the three of them quickly finished dividing the spoils.
Zhang Pan and Chen Zhong each took 900 taels of property, as well as a lot of weapons and armor, while Li Yuanqing only took 200 taels of property, but he took a few more pieces of armor.
This time, under Li Yuanqing's command, there were already nearly thirty pairs of armor at this time, far more than several times or even dozens of times that of his official position of one hundred households.
But at this point, everything is so natural, no one will say more.
After distributing the property, Li Yuanqing immediately ordered Shang Lao Liu to distribute all the two hundred taels of silver in his hands to the soldiers, rewarding the soldiers for their achievements in this battle, especially Wang Hai and Shunzi, each of whom got ten taels, and they were all smiling.
Chen Zhong and Zhang Pan also sent some property to the court, there were many of them, and the number was naturally not as large as the soldiers on Li Yuanqing's side, but the soldiers were also encouraged and jubilant.
After doing this, Mi Yizhen's family members were placed in front of the three of them.
At this time, whether it is Chen Zhong, Zhang Pan or Li Yuanqing, they are all bachelors, and the concubines of Mi Yizhen are all charming, and a few people say that they are not moved, are they still men?
It's just that no one brings up this stubble, and everyone can only pretend to be serious.
After all, this kind of thing, even if Mao Wenlong knows about it, he will only open one eye and close one eye, how can a few women be compared with a general?
What's more, if these women are 'taken over' by Li Yuanqing and a few others, it will be their luck, otherwise, what awaits them is likely to be a catastrophe.
Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang has a concept that may seem strange in later generations, and his understanding of success is that he must sleep with the other party's wife.
Therefore, whether it is Chen Youliang, Zhang Shicheng, the Fang brothers, or Emperor Yuan Shun, their beautiful wives and concubines have not escaped this fate.
In fact, there has been evidence in later generations that the famous ancestor Zhu Di, his biological mother, was the favorite concubine of Emperor Yuan Shun back then.
Although Li Yuanqing has been a human being for two lives, he is not pedantic.
In this day and age, women are inherently weak and can only rely on men for protection.
Li Yuanqing chose one, which saved her life, and choosing two, that is, saved two lives, although it was very naked~ naked, but this is the reality.
After all, Li Yuanqing is a quasi-middle-level officer, and he has a certain amount of strength in his hands, if these charming concubines are rewarded to the soldiers, perhaps, in a few days, these women will repeat this cycle again.
The three of them all knew that Chen Zhong and Zhang Pan were thin-skinned, and Li Yuanqing could only open this layer of window paper.
Li Yuanqing stood up with a smile, walked in front of the group of female dependents, and said to the two with a smile: "Since the two eldest brothers take care of the younger brother, the younger brother will come first." ”
