Chapter 371: The Huang Family Banquet (I)
In the next two months, Datong Town seemed relatively calm, and the soldiers of the ninth battalion of the Yongan Army were scattered in the three military camps and practiced non-stop. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
With the passage of time, the people of the town also felt that the place was different from the past, and it was rare to see officers and soldiers patrolling the streets, but since the arrival of the Yong'an Army, they have been patrolling the streets and alleys almost day and night.
At first, the people were still a little uneasy, for fear of being bullied by the officers and soldiers again, but for so long, the Yong'an Army did not see the oppression of the people, and there were more than 100 riots in various places when patrolling the streets.
At first, they were hooligans and ruffians, but whenever they were encountered, they were to be arrested and imprisoned, and if they were resisted or escaped, the soldiers of the Yong'an Army did not have the slightest mercy, and they were beaten and thrown into prison.
Those who were captured in prison were eventually sent to repair the walls and piers, or to work for the workshops in secret ravines.
However, compared to those who were killed on the spot, these people who were caught in it were also good, at least they saved their lives, and the ruffians and hooligans who had been flooding the town and city slowly disappeared.
However, the good times did not last long, and a few days later, a sergeant came to report that he had captured some family members and servants of the wealthy family.
These people are better dressed than the average people, but they are worse than those hooligans.
In Xiao Yi's view, what they rely on is nothing more than those wealthy families in Datong Town, and they are indeed powerful in the eyes of ordinary people.
Most of the original officials in Datong Town were inextricably linked with these wealthy families, and they collected a lot of money, not to mention that there were people in individual families of these wealthy families, and even in the court, so the officials of Datong naturally turned a blind eye to these things.
As a result, these wealthy families are acting more and more arrogantly, and their majesty is more than that of the government, and everyone is afraid of it.
However, in Xiao Yi's view, these are just paper tigers.
In this era, whoever has soldiers in his hands really has the right to speak, and the original Han Shimeng only has less than 2,000 officers and soldiers, which has already made these wealthy families have to stammer.
What's more, he has more than 10,000 elite soldiers in his hands, and even tens of thousands of Tartar Xiao Yi are not afraid, what are these wealthy families?
Xiao Yi naturally knew the jealousy of those people, and he didn't bother until now, but he had an idea after hearing that he had made a move against the Hao family in Ulzhou.
But that's okay, it's also a scourge for these people to stay, Xiao Yi naturally has to deal with the internal affairs of the town before Azig calls, so that he can deal with the Tartars with all his might.
Xiao Yi still clearly remembers that the few family servants who were arrested, even if they entered his own general military mansion, were still bullish, and their heads were raised to the sky.
Even Xiao Yi was disdainful, and he didn't believe that Xiao Yi could do anything to them.
Xiao Yi, these jumping clowns, was naturally too lazy to care, waved his hand lazily, and said: "Don't ask the general about these things in the future, the Hao family will break the law and be convicted of the same crime as the market, and will be sent to Tujiagou." ”
Xiao also considered the matter of escorting these wealthy families to Tujiagou, and these wealthy families are different from ordinary ruffians.
Even if it is to fight the dog, it still depends on the owner, Xiao Yi arrested their family, they will naturally not give up, judging from the connections of these wealthy families near the town, it is naturally not a safe way to put them around the town.
But if he is sent to the mine in Tujiagou in Yong'anbao in Ulzhou to help, how to deal with it is not what Xiao Yi wants?
Even if he kills, who will be able to catch the handle.
Of course, these people can understand, this Xiao Yi actually wanted to detain himself and others, and he reacted when he was restrained by the Yongan sergeant who was on the back of the tiger.
But even at this time, they haven't begged for mercy yet, and the kung fu of putting cruel words in their mouths is more skilled than one another, and they don't stop scolding, and there is actually a family member who said that Xiao Yi, the general soldier, is about to do it, and he looks confident.
Xiao Yi didn't say anything, didn't even have the heart to ask, just waved his hand tiredly.
Several Yong'an sergeants respectfully escorted these people out of the hall, but as soon as they arrived in prison, they immediately changed their appearance, and the leader of the armor held his arms and said viciously.
"Eggs, you rotten people also have the courage to say bad things about the general, brothers, greet Ben Jia well, and Ben Jia will bear it if something happens!"
"Howler!"
The soldiers of the Yong'an Army had long seen that these people were not pleasing to the eye, and they all yelled excitedly.
When they saw those officers and soldiers who were holding their arms and looking at them approaching, these people were a little flustered, and naturally a few of them had two fists and kicks, and they stood up with high spirits at the moment.
Looking like that, I even think of the scene of myself killing in prison.
But when the actual fight began, they found that it was completely different from what they had imagined, although these officers and soldiers did not draw their knives, nor did they fight ruthlessly.
But the moves are all aimed at the vital point, and the fist as big as a sandbag can be heard when it is swung in the air, hitting the body like a hammer.
And the fists of these family members hit the copper and iron armor of the Yong'an army soldiers is no different from tickling, and they are all knocked down in a few strokes, and the previous arrogance no longer exists, only the courage to curl up in the corner and howl is left.
When the Yong'an sergeant of this armor came out of prison, these servants were beaten to the point that their noses were blue and their faces were swollen, and their faces were imprinted with deep fear.
While the public order in the town is getting better and better, the training on the school field is also getting louder.
These are the soldiers who are in the army in various places, but in fact they are not bad in courage and kung fu, but only in a unified establishment and training.
The two months of day and night training have made them quite proficient in various formation changes in the army, and even some sergeants have practiced a lot, and they usually walk in unison subconsciously.
Strict discipline naturally has a break time, in normal times, this rest time is mostly used by the soldiers to chat and talk about fart, but now it is different.
During the break, the soldiers of the Yong'an Army sat in the barracks, and the veterans of each team sang military songs in a loud voice.
In this way, many people slowly get acquainted with each other, from not knowing each other at all at first, to becoming familiar with each other a few days later, and now they are singing and bragging all day long, looking forward to fighting together for military merit the next time they go into battle.
In this way, time slowly ran past the four years of Chongzhen and entered the first month of the fifth year of Chongzhen.
On the first day of the first month of the fifth year of Chongzhen, Xiao Yi got up from the bedroom early and walked straight into the lobby, where there were still a lot of government affairs that had not been dealt with yesterday, and some newspapers and documents that had not had time to read.
Not long after sitting down in front of the table, a Yongan soldier walked into the lobby, first glanced at Xiao Yi carefully, and saw that Xiao Yi was not resting, so he clenched his fists and said loudly.
"General, the brothers of the Flying Cavalry Battalion came to report that more than 20 wealthy families gathered in the Huang Mansion today and acted suspiciously!"
Huangfu, of course, Xiao Yi knows the origin of this Huangfu, and naturally it is the Huang Yunfa Mansion, one of the eight imperial merchants of the Qing Dynasty in later generations, and this person also sent someone to Ulzhou to find Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi first waved his hand to show that he knew, and then sneered: "More than 20 wealthy families gathered in the Huang Mansion, such a big thing would naturally be to go to see and understand, call Huang Yang and Shi Lu to come." ”
"Yes!"
The soldier immediately clenched his fists and trotted out of the lobby.
……
That night, the rest of Datong Town was silent, except for the vicinity of Huangfu, which was noisy as usual, and guests came one after another.
Outside the door stood a line of smiling porters and servants, shouting a few words to the house while instructing the guests to collect their gifts.
There are constantly people with a group of servants and servants swaggering, but when they get to the outside of the Yellow Mansion, they dare not be arrogant anymore, and they all respectfully hand over the 'generous gifts' and door posts that have been prepared to the porter before entering the Yellow Mansion.
A porter shouted a few words to the mansion, and after winning a proprietor, he suddenly wondered: "Hey, why haven't the people of the Yong'an Army come to patrol the night today, and it will be three or five times at this time in the past, which is strange." ”
The porter stepped forward and scolded, "It's not good if you don't come?" If you can't see those people, the old man is happy and pure! ”
"Yes, yes, yes!"
The rest of the porters seemed to be very afraid of this man, and after being scolded, they smiled again and again, nodding and flattering.
Suddenly, the housekeeper's eyes lit up, as if he had seen something amazing, he changed his previous arrogant and domineering look, and personally stepped forward to greet him: "Yo, Lord Futai is here!" ”
Sure enough, a group of people came from afar, and when they looked closely, they were actually a group of town officials, and almost all the senior clerks of Datong Town came.
Among them, there are also a few local generals in the Ximen military camp, but these generals are much worse than the civilian treatment, which should play a role as a foil.
Ying Zongwei, the commander of the order, Jin Zuoshi, Jiao En, the civil official, Jiang Dashan, the governor of Datong, and others surrounded Cai Jiahe, the governor of Datong.
Behind them was a group of people and servants, who came from the direction of the governor's yamen.
