Chapter 547: Wounds
In Qiangbai County, a large number of soldiers in yellow clothes and yellow hats patrolled the streets with pride. Most of them don't have military boots www.biquge.info only straw sandals and leggings, and most of these people are still thin "one bell" when winter is approaching. Tied with straw rope around the waist, even if it is a belt.
Most of their weapons are still pikes and pikes, and there are few firearms, let alone a few new guns. But it was these hungry soldiers with primitive equipment, variegated clothing, and lack of food and clothing that had just occupied this large county of Tongzhou not long ago. Seeing it, you can take it off with the big li.
The excited swordsmen scattered the bottom of the sea on the street, and the banner of Hongmen was also erected early in the morning. Unlike the provinces in the world, the ranks of the Shaanxi People's Army are not as easy to use as the classes, and the status in the elders' association is more effective in mobilizing troops than the ranks and ranks in the army.
The eldest brother of the various docks distributed the bottom of the sea on the streets, recruiting troops. In the mat shed on the side of the road, there are hundreds of coarse porcelain bowls, all of which are poured with village-brewed liquor. As long as you enter the dock and become a brother, you will have a bowl of wine to drink, a mouthful of meat to eat, and then you will be given a random weapon, or a stick, and you will become a glorious member of the Shaanxi and Yu Salvation Monarchs.
In the past, the high-spirited and well-dressed gentry and business directors, local celebrities, are now all unlucky. When Guo Jian's troops plundered Qiangbai, they consciously drove the landlords of various villages into the city. Now that Qiangbai has changed hands, these gentry have nowhere to hide, and they have all been arrested and tortured in the courtyard of the county yamen.
Not only can the cloud copy the words, the treatment is not asked, the leather whip stick can only be regarded as hospitality tea, and the nail board clamp stick can only be regarded as a snack. It is not a case that he was skinned alive because he could not get the money. A few bloody human skins, hung on the head of the yamen, reminded the other gentry and merchants that refusing to help pay was the end.
In the county yamen, the public hall that originally belonged to the county governor has been changed into the temporary headquarters of the Second Route Army of the Salvation Monarch. Feng Yijun, who started in Baishui, has officially changed his name to Yushan to save the country at this time, with Jingxia Demon as the commander-in-chief, and his subordinates are divided into several roads.
The First Route Army was appointed by Jingxia Demon as the governor and captured Huaxian, the Second Route Army took Gao Jun as the governor and occupied Baishui, the Third Route Army Cao Shiying controlled Pucheng, the Fourth Route Army was Guo Jian, occupied Qiangbai, and pointed directly at Dali, and the Fifth Route Army was Zhang Feng's five divisions and occupied Luochuan.
The Fifth Route Army claims to have more than 100,000 soldiers, and in the land of Guanzhong, 800 miles of Qinchuan stirred up the universe and set off boundless wind and waves.
Bai Lang, Hu Yunyi, and Wang Tianzong were led by several soldiers, and when they entered the main hall of the county yamen, they listened to the silk and bamboo bursts, and the public hall was singing a big opera. The soldier who led the way said: "Our Governor Guo Dadu likes to listen to the bowl and bowl tone the most, today is the third wife personally performing, the brothers are all watching, the two of them are seated, watch the play first." ”
The main hall was in great chaos, thirty or forty tables were set out, and each table was full of wine, meat, soup, water, and sauce, and everywhere. At each table, there are more than a dozen men, still with their chests open in autumn, revealing their bronzed skin and tattoos on their bodies. Some people stepped on the chair next to them with one foot, and some simply took off their shoes, and they walked in different ways.
The one who was sitting on the seat was a young man less than thirty years old, wearing a bright yellow suit, which looked like the royal family of the pre-Jin era, but the standard of the clothes looked like a hero. The skin is fair, the appearance is unusually handsome, and between the eyebrows, there is a heroic spirit, which makes people feel good when they see it.
Seeing Bai Lang and the three coming, the man didn't speak, only nodded, asked the three to sit down next to him, and pointed to the stage again.
The singing on the stage is the Spring and Autumn Match, playing Jiang Qiulian's danjiao willow eyebrows and phoenix eyes, her appearance is unusually outstanding, and her singing and kung fu are good. is singing there "Forced to pick up firewood, tears like rain, sick pouting and weak and difficult to struggle...... tone is sad, really like a powerless delicate flower, which makes people feel compassionate.
As soon as the cavity fell, the man in the middle took the lead in cheering, and Hu Yunyi also shouted loudly, "The third wife's voice is not said, even if it is the famous role of the Yi Vulgar Society, it is these two times." Okay very! Bai Dudu and Wang Daxia are from Henan, and they haven't heard of our Dali's bowl and bowl cavity, and your Henan drama is not the same taste. ”
Bai Lang saw that the other people in the county government were also very loud, so he also echoed and shouted good. waited until the applause was over, and the man greeted the woman: "Don't sing first, come down and toast a glass of wine to a few friends, we are guests from afar, we must entertain well." Sanwa, you are not an outsider, I don't greet you, what you eat and drink, watch it yourself. Wang Daxia, Bai Dudu, and Kai are all good friends, and Guo wants to have a drink with you today. Brother Shen, why didn't he come? ”
Bai Lang knew that this handsome and dashing young leader must be Guo Jian, the commander of the Fourth Route Army, and the one who sang on stage was his favorite concubine Yang Yuzhu. first saw the salute, and then said: "This time the defeat is too miserable, Brother Shen's whereabouts in the chaotic army are unknown, I'm afraid it will ......."
Guo Jian waved his hand, "Victory and defeat are commonplace, this is nothing." It doesn't matter if you lose, you can play again tomorrow, and sooner or later there will be a time to win. It's like playing with money, losing today, winning tomorrow, it's a common thing. Brother Shen has a big life, nothing to do, wait for a few days, maybe he will come back. ”
At this time, Yang Yuzhu had already come down from the stage, did not remove his makeup, came to the three of them in his clothes, and smiled at Hu Yunyi first, "Sanwa, you come every day, I don't toast your wine." Governor, Wang Daxia, this glass of wine, I salute you two. After that, he took a wine bowl and drank it all.
This amount of wine certainly made the man admire, and the generosity and chic were like the shy daughter on the stage. Hu Yunyi said on the side:
"The third wife is a famous chivalrous woman in Guanzhong, full of kung fu, three or five big men are close to him, with both hands to make a gun, a hundred shots and a hundred hits, and she is the virtuous helper of Commander Guo. In terms of the amount of alcohol, I am not as good as her, I lose once I drink, but I dare not drink with her. ”
Yang Yuzhu smiled at Hu Yunyi, "The third baby is full of words, I won't pour you today, two, I've already done it, two of you are free." ”
Guo Jian smiled and hugged her into his arms, let her sit on his lap, hugged the beauty with one hand, and took a wine bowl with the other to toast. "I've also heard about Shangnan. I sent a detachment of cavalry to steal his old camp, thinking of tying up a few foreign tickets and coming back to force them to make peace. Unexpectedly, Lu Jun's woman is as evil as my woman. After a battle, the brothers did not take advantage of it, and this thing was not done. But it doesn't matter, Yan Wenxiang's soldiers were defeated, and there was only one guest soldier of the Lu army, and I don't think he could stay in Guanzhong for a few days. In this part of Shaanxi, outsiders cannot stand. There is no food or pay, see how many days he can stay. ”
Although Bai Lang was defeated, his ambition did not fall, he nodded and said: "The Lu army is from afar, the veterans of the division are tired, although he won a battle today, but he is eager to fight quickly, and he will not last." As long as the stalemate lasts, there is no worry about not being able to win. This time, thanks to Commander Guo's troops, otherwise, we don't know how many brothers we would have lost. ”
"What I didn't say is Mr. Sun's face, since everyone is doing Ge Ming, they are all their own people, don't see outside. Your people are stationed in Qiangbai, and in two days, I will lead my troops to fetch Dali. When Dali is taken down, let's put the team away, and see what it can do. I heard that he brought the flag soldiers into the customs this time, and when we were making trouble in Xi'an, more than 10,000 flag men were killed. As soon as they heard the flag man, the common people were afraid first, and when the time came, we would recruit soldiers, and only say that the flag bearers would have as many soldiers as they wanted. Even if I take someone to fill it, I will fill in his Lu army. ”
Yang Yuzhu raised his eyebrows, "What's so troublesome?" In my opinion, let me go to Shangnan once, bring this Zhao Guanhou's head, and toast my husband. ”
"Don't mess around! The surname Zhao is not an idle person, but it is not something that you can stab if you say thorn. Besides, he is a famous Huahua Tai Sui in Shandong, and I don't worry about you going to him as a woman. ”
Guo Jian talks and laughs unscrupulously, and does not avoid people, but he is a very easy character to get along with. But Bai Lang looked at the noise and presumptuousness of the diners in the hall, even if the ladies were here, they still scolded without fear, or reached out to the women who brought the food to the table to rub the oil, and his brows couldn't help but secretly knot. The discipline of this team seems to be similar to that of the Zhen Song army, and it is not trustworthy.
"Dashuai, Guo Thief has acted perversely and harmed the township. As long as the handsome righteous master arrives, we ordinary people will definitely eat pot pulp to welcome the king! "In Shangnan County, Zhang Zhengju, the head of the regiment who was rescued, a big man in Guanzhong, actually knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Zhao Guanhou to ask for troops.
He was seriously injured, and if it hadn't been for the Tiger Roaring Forest, his life would probably not have been saved. The village where he lives is only five miles away from Qiangnan. Guo attacked Qiangnan, and his village was the first to suffer.
First they asked for livestock, then they asked for food, and then later, Guo Bu's unarmed team went into the countryside and took whatever they saw. It was summer, and the climate in Shaanxi was hot, and the soldiers stripped off their clothes and jumped into the people's water tanks to take a bath, and the people were very angry.
Then, their eyes began to fall on the woman. The young women in the village had been prepared and fled cleanly. But they didn't spare even an old woman in her sixties. In the end, Zhang Zhengju launched an attack on Guo Jun with a flat firewood knife, and killed more than 20 people in Guo twice.
The huge gap in strength is not something that can be made up by bravery or resourcefulness, Zhang Zhengju dismissed the other regiments, and stayed behind to die. is ready to use his own life to appease Guo Jian's anger. But the appearance of Tiger Roaring Forest made him alive and dead, and also made him see a hope, a hope to get rid of Guo Jian.
Guo Bubing had more soldiers and less salary, and everywhere he went, the middle-class families were not spared. There is a proverb among the people, reluctant to eat, reluctant to wear, and save silver for Guo Jian. Escaping Guo Jian has become a local proverb in this area, and when you meet Guo Min, you always have to escape, but you may not be able to escape.
Guo Jian has a style of rivers and lakes, and in the countryside, he often opens the granary of the landlord's house and distributes the grain to the people first, which is not evil because of the reputation of the people. However, arsoning into bandits is not a long-term solution after all. The dissatisfaction of the villagers in various localities against Guo is getting higher and higher, and as long as the officers and soldiers can strictly discipline, it will not be difficult to win the support of the people.
After sending the vigilante leader to recuperate, Reinstein said, "It seems that our opponent is a Robin Hood figure, like him and his Greenwood Brotherhood, and the ideal destination is the gallows. However, I found a problem, it seems that the people of Shaanxi do not have a bad opinion of this robber. ”
"Because officers and soldiers are more like robbers than robbers, this world is still worse than bad, but better than good. Yan Wenxiang's people may not be much stronger than Guo Jian's style, this is the key to his growth. It is easy to win the battle with Guo Jian, but if you want to destroy these swordsmen, you have to think of a way. People like him are easy to lose, but not easy to die. If the people's will is not on our side, the people will shelter him and protect him, and if we want to win completely, what we have to do is to be different from him first. The discipline of the troops must be guaranteed. ”
On the streets of Shangnan, a pair of young men and women walk side by side. The man is handsome, and the woman is also very attractive, but the legs are long and broad-shouldered, which makes the man worry whether he can lower such a fierce horse. Shaanxi's folk customs are not as open as the mainland, such a pair of men and women with their fingers interlocked, wandering the streets, if it is on weekdays, it must suffer countless white eyes. But now, no one cares about them.
Several shops in the city that sold coffins made a windfall, and all the accumulated coffins were sold out. The white cloth prepared by the family before has now come in handy. White flags are not used, but they are always inseparable from making filial piety clothes.
Hubu's bloodbath, almost every family in Shangnan County has filial piety, and every household is crying and mourning. Most of the dead are the pillars of the family, and all of a sudden, I don't know how many families have lost their financial resources, and they don't know how to continue their future lives. The sound of suona is earth-shattering and worrying, even if it is a large family, because of the successive blows, it is very devastated and vigorous.
Because of the relationship between the garrison, the teahouses and restaurants are all open for business, but they don't feel the slightest joy. From the shopkeeper to the guys, they all had sad faces, and it is conceivable that their families also died in yesterday's turmoil. Many of the storefronts on the street were destroyed by fire or looted by rebels, and less than half of the storefronts could be opened.
There are few pedestrians on the street, and even if there are, there are no smiles to be seen.
Looking at the depressed scene, Hannah frowned slightly, "The empire has always preached the sanctity of war, and as a nobleman, he was born with the obligation to fight for the king for his family. War brings honor and wealth, and expands the territory of the empire. However, the wars I have seen have brought nothing but death and disaster. Like all this in front of me, the so-called hell, I'm afraid it's nothing more than that. In their eyes, I never saw the word hope, there was no difference between the living and the dead. ”
"That's right, my little angel, that's the case. Therefore, we should oppose war, not praise war, and when it can be resolved peacefully, we must solve it peacefully. Killing or being killed is not something to boast about, so what's the point of looking at these orphans and widows and preaching martial arts? ”
The two were talking and walking, but they heard a burst of laughter in the distance. At this time in Shangnan, such laughter was so abrupt and alternative.
The two looked up, but saw that there were more than a dozen soldiers, drinking in a tavern, the boss was neatly cutting haggis for these people, and in the white porcelain jar on the side, there was steaming mutton soup.
These soldiers smiled very happily, and the eyes of a few people swept towards Hannah's towering ****, but when they swept her exotic appearance, they immediately lowered their heads.
Seeing that the soldiers who entered the city drank wine and ate meat, and did not make trouble, Zhao Guanhou did not interfere and left hand in hand with Hannah. When the two of them had gone a little farther away, the soldiers gathered together and muttered quietly.
"That chest, that leg, get it again, it's almost the same as being a fairy."
"That man doesn't know who it is, he is also well-dressed, if he lies down, he will be allowed to make a windfall."
"If you dare to go out at this time, you don't have a fuel-efficient lamp, don't worry about it, if you don't do it, the guy who eats will be gone."
"If you look at what the foreign woman is wearing, you will know that she is rich at a glance, not out to sell! It's a foreigner again, we soldiers can't remember it, and only the officials can play with her. But when we enter the city, we can't be let out. What to do in Jiangxi, what to do here, after eating, go for fun. (To be continued.) )
