Chen Qiang, a thousand households in Yan'an Prefecture, has been in a very good mood recently, serious disasters have caused famine, poor people who can't eat have left their homes and become homeless, and then there are robberies of rich households in many places, which must be a disaster for the Ming Dynasty. But it became a good thing for Chen Qiang's guardhouse, many landlords and wealthy businessmen who looked down on the military households secretly asked Chen Qianhu to buy weapons to guard their forts, and Chen Qianhu not only made money from it, but also enjoyed the feeling of those rich people whispering in front of him. The civil unrest intensified, and there were more and more rebellious people, and many squires had to ask the Thousand Households to send troops to fight against the rebellious people. In particular, news came from Cheng County, Shaanxi Province in February last year, that the rebels had actually defeated the county seat of Cheng County, and Zhang Yaocai, the magistrate of the county, was killed by the rebels. The civil officials, who had always looked down on military attachés, began to be polite to Chen Qianhu. Gradually, Chen Qianhu found that the soldiers in his hands became more and more useful. So he decided to recruit all the ten hundred households under his command to open the heads of these elm pimples.

Sure enough, when Chen Qiang said that he asked the hundreds of households to step up military training, the hundreds of households complained about it, saying that there was a natural disaster, and the soldiers in the food harvest guard couldn't eat enough, so how could they have the strength to train what soldiers.

"It's really a group of human heads and pig brains, just staring at those few acres of broken land, if today's disaster lasts for many years, and the soldiers in the guard station are exhausted to death, they can't make a few dollars, so they won't think of other ways to make money." Chen Qianhu scolded at the few uncompetitive hundreds.

Hearing that there was money to be made, those hundreds of households didn't care at all when they were scolded, and hurriedly asked the thousands of households what good ways to make money.

"Who has food and money now?" Chen Qianhu asked mysteriously.

"Of course, those landlords and rich businessmen are very stingy, let alone us, even if they can't borrow from them." Hundreds of households said.

"We don't ask for it, let them obediently send us the money themselves, provided we have the soldiers at our disposal, understand? Money is important, life is even more important, and now the people are in turmoil, and they will take the lives of those misers at any time, and when they are dying, they will come to us and beg us. ”

"But if they don't come to us, won't we be in vain in those rebellious people, and will we waste our efforts?" Hundreds of households are still not at ease.

"We have to grasp the timing, we don't move to rob the rich people, after the robbery, we will go to disrupt the people, remember not to kill too many people, the reward for merit is in the big man above After the deduction, we can't have a few children left in our hands. After robbing the property of the rioters, we must give them a way to live, and try to rush to one place as much as possible, then our next deal will come. If the rich pay the money, we will send troops to drive the rebellious people away, and if we don't pay the money, we will wait for them to finish robbing before fighting. Chen Qianhu explained.

"What if the governor or the magistrate urges the troops." The fear of civil servants is deep-rooted.

"What bullshit adults, what will those civil officials do except drag a few sour words, we can't afford to provoke them in the peaceful and prosperous times, now is a troubled time, if the chaotic people besiege the county like Cheng County, they will only have to pee their pants, and they can't do without us now." What I said today is rotten in my heart, if someone leaks out, don't blame me for being ruthless, there is a way to cut off people's financial routes, such as killing parents, that is not only with me, but also cut off everyone's financial routes. In the future, the dispatch of troops will be arranged by me in a unified manner, and then the harvest will be distributed according to the number of combatable soldiers sent by each hundred households. Chen Qianhu finally admonished.

"What if those poor soldiers don't want to help." Hundreds of households are still worried.

"Isn't what the poor ghost is afraid of is a poor word, every time the army is sent to keep an eye on me, the big seizures must be handed over, as for the small fortune they make themselves, don't care about him, but do it cleanly, and then push it to the thieves, understand?" Chen Qianhu is confident.

All the hundreds of households praised the wisdom of the thousand households, and Chen Qianhu was also proud of his high strategy.

The displacement of people everywhere after the disaster really made the officials at all levels in Yan'an Prefecture nervous for a while, especially when the news of Cheng County came, Zhang Yaocai not only let the chaotic people break through the county seat, but also lost his head. It caused a great shock among officials at all levels, and the homeless people were no longer an inconsequential matter of starving to death, and this lowly Pi really dared to kill officials and rebel. The news of the rebellion of the people in Yan'an Mansion attacking the rich also came from time to time, and the new emperor ascended the throne is the time to make great progress.

At this time, they were pleased to find that there was a guard station under the Yan'an government system that was different, and Chen Qiang of Qianhu actually contributed his own food and money to strengthen the training of the soldiers of Qianhu, and repeatedly told the officials that if there was a dispatch, it would be incumbent on them to exterminate the chaotic people everywhere.

Later, when the rebels rebelled several times, the soldiers of the Thousand Households really reacted quickly, and the soldiers of the Zhuangbao Guard arrived as soon as the rebels broke through, and defeated a group of rebels, and then the soldiers of the Guards fled everywhere. Later, the rich family gradually discovered the key to it, and as soon as the chaotic people approached, they sent people with money to the guard to ask for help, and the guard station quickly dispatched troops every time, and the rebels collapsed where the soldiers arrived, and the various villages and forts were preserved.

The squires of all counties called Chen Qianhu like a rising star, and the true colors of a generation of famous generals temporarily emerged. It is very conspicuous in the officialdom of the entire Yan'an Mansion. Even the governor praised him a lot, calling him a rare general, and his subordinate officers and soldiers also supported him.

Chen Qianhu accepted praise from all sides, collected money, and lived a prosperous life.

Today, another official document came, ordering Chen Qianhu to go to Yanchang County to suppress bandits. Chen Qianhu bribed the envoy to understand the reason.

It turned out that there was a force of thieves in Yanchang County recently, calling themselves Ming security, attacking the landlord's Zhuangbao and looting property, Yanchang County's 100 households Ma Zizhou fought bravely under the strict order of the county to defeat the thieves, but I didn't expect the thieves to flow to Zhoujiabao in Yanchang County to break through Zhuangzi and rob Zhuangzi. Zhou Lianming, the patriarch of Zhoujiabao, is now unknown in his life, Zhou Lianming's younger brother Zhou Lianqi, who served as the imperial historian in the court, just got the news a few days ago, Zhou Lianqi heard the bad news and cried and fainted on the ground, and when he woke up, he hated that his century-old foundation was destroyed by thieves. He immediately wrote a letter of impeachment to the magistrate of Yanchang County, Mazi Prefecture, for the unfavorable governance of the people, and all parties rushed to urge the court to send troops to exterminate this gang of thieves as soon as possible, and offered a reward for exterminating this gang of thieves with his own wealth. The governor was afraid that Zhou Lianqi would bite indiscriminately, and he must extend the county under his rule. Urgently ordered Yanchang County Governor Mazi Prefecture to step up the suppression of bandits, and mobilized available troops in each guard to go to Yanchang County to suppress bandits, but now the guard post has long been rotten, and only Chen Qiang's Qianhu has achieved remarkable results in exterminating the displaced people, so the governor ordered Chen Qianhu to go out of Yanchang County.

Chen Qianhu was happy when he heard this, and the opportunity to make a fortune had come. Zhou Lianming Chen Qianhu has long heard that his younger brother who is the imperial history in the court, constantly embezzles other people's land, does not pay grain taxes, and has accumulated a lot of wealth in recent years, and is among the top few wealthy households in Yanchang County. If you drive the thieves around Yanchang County again, then you will definitely have a great gain.

Chen Qianhu delivered a passionate speech to the envoy, saying that this is the time for the military generals to serve the country and kill the enemy, and they will never fail to live up to the trust of the governor, and will immediately send troops, and will not destroy the security team. To be deeply moved by Chen Qianhu, at this time there is such a brave and fearless military general is really rare, immediately said that when he goes back, he will report Chen Qianhu's loyalty to the governor, and when Chen Qianhu returns victorious, the governor will be rewarded.

Chen Qianhu is still very confident in defeating this group of rebels. After fighting with the rebels several times, Chen Qianhu already understood that the rebels were completely a rabble, and he didn't even bother to inquire about how many people there were in the Ming security team. Because he knew that there were generally only a few backbone elements among the rioters, and then they coerced a large number of old and weak women and children. It seems to be huge, but when I saw the backbone of the officers and soldiers, in order to preserve their strength, they fled faster than anything else, and the old and weak who were left behind were the meat on the chopping board of the officers and soldiers. A few hundred officers and soldiers can drive thousands of chaotic people all over the world.

After Chen Qianhu's strict supervision, the ten hundred households under his command finally made progress, endured the pain and did not put all the money and property into his own pocket, but took out a part of it to distribute food and salary to the soldiers of the guard, and the number of training of soldiers who had food and food also increased, and the combat effectiveness was greatly improved, and there were more than 500 soldiers who could fight in Qianhu, and some of the soldiers and ruffians secretly robbed the people and killed the good and risked their merits in several times to suppress bandits, and they tasted the sweetness, and I heard that they were going to Yanchang County to suppress bandits more actively than Chen Qianhu.

The entire Thousand Households immediately took action, gathered men and horses under the leadership of each hundred households, prepared grain and grass, and the teams from all over the country gathered to the Thousand Households.

A few days later, the teaching ground of Qianhu was crowded, and Qianhu Chen Qiang walked up to the high platform in front of him, looking at the soldiers with excited expressions on his face, and his heart was overjoyed.

"The soldiers on this expedition must move forward bravely, and don't lose the face of thousands of households. Did you hear that? Chen Qianhu shouted loudly.

The audience responded one after another, and Chen Qianhu was very satisfied.

He continued: "I don't need to say anything about military discipline and national law, what I want to emphasize is to do your work cleanly, don't let people sue me like last time, and I have to wipe your ass." ”

There was a burst of laughter from the audience.

"All have a little brain, thieves are vicious, and many bad things thieves have done, understand?"

"Understood." The soldiers in the audience answered quite neatly this time.

Seeing that the morale of the whole team was greatly boosted, Chen Qianhu couldn't help but be proud, and said loudly: "This battle will be won, and if the bandits are not exterminated, they will not withdraw their troops, and the starting goal is Yanchang County." ”。

With an order, more than 500 soldiers drove out of the teaching ground and drove in the direction of Yanchang County.
