With his attitude and assurance, the dispute between the prefectures and counties in Ningbo has finally come to an end for the time being. Most of the subordinate officials of the prefecture and county yamen were killed and wounded, and most of the rest did not know where to go, and if they wanted to restore order, they had to rely on Yang Ji's strength in the end.

Yang Chengzu took on the surface with all his might, but he behaved like an iron shoulder to shoulder morality, not caring about personal gains and losses, and actually had no intention of really obliging to help. Except for a few of their own people who have official positions and have a future, most of the new army is still workers after all, and fighting in the chaos and killing people can be said to be self-defense, and it is a bit of a violation of peace to use them to maintain order.

Let them participate in subsequent interrogation, punishment, etc., and they are even less qualified. Now with the authorization of the government, they have the authorization status of the local yamen, so they can do everything easily, which is also the convenience brought by the fame of the teacher.

With this righteous name of restoring order, his subordinates can smoothly take over the domain treasury in the name of protection, and continue to complete the work that the robbers have not done.

Those thieves came and went in a hurry, and in the treasury of the domain, they just saw what they saw, and there was no guarantee that they would take anything useful. Moreover, the thieves are multi-minded, some people want to get rich, some people want to develop force, and without unified command, the efficiency of looting is actually quite poor. It seems that everyone is not empty-handed, and there may not be much actual take.

As soon as the people on Yang Ji's side came in, there was a unified command of the leader, and they were divided into categories, and they worked for half an hour, which was higher than the results of the thieves' work for several hours, and they made a windfall from the treasury alone. The most important thing is that there are a large number of shortages in the prefecture and county yamen, and since Yang Chengzu wants to help restore order, he has to be established and identified. It is logical to arrange a few servants, economic inheritance, and management years to go in. Even if the bureaucrats themselves may not be able to call the shots, those who are not officials can always have the final say.

Once these people are in the position, they will not take it as they want, but in the future, they will want to collect taxes or strengthen their control over the south, and this is the first nail they have entered.

The rain outside gradually stopped, and the news began to report, most of the merchants in Ningbo were attacked, and the merchants suffered heavy losses. In the past, even if Ningbo had pirates, they had plundered outside the city and never entered the city. Dingtian is to besiege the city and put on a scary appearance, and then extort a ransom fee, and will not enter the city to kill people and set fire.

The merchants have money, and the pirates have to control the casualties and pay the money to avoid disaster, which is an acceptable result for everyone, and few people will really fight hard. Because of this thinking, everyone was defenseless this time, and the losses were especially great. Although the thieves were killed and retreated, the suffering of the merchants may have just begun, and as the statistics progressed, the number of losses gradually increased, and the loss of personnel and property had reached the point of shocking and alarming the Jingshi.

On the Xue family's side, before the chaos occurred, Yang Chengzu had ordered Xu Tai to take a hundred new troops to protect them in the name of finding a place to open a shop. It's just that Xue Lan's younger brother was hit by a stray arrow because he went up to the wall to see the excitement, and people are afraid that it will not be successful. The Xue family has lost two men in a row, and no one can come out to be the leader at present, and the situation seems to be a little unstable.

On the side of Yang Ji's shop, the person left behind is Qi Jingtong, who is old and proficient, and he is steady in his use of soldiers. Unlike Xu Tai, who rushed up with a big knife when he was killed, he was always fighting steadily, and the bandits who came to Yang Ji's side all hit the big board, with heavy casualties, almost no one escaped the net, and the shop itself was not damaged. When this chaos is over, the fastest ones to open are probably those Yang Kee shops.

Liu Jin had already withdrawn, the troops were defeated very badly, and he carried an arrow on his shoulder, looking very embarrassed. Due to the death of Yuan Ban and Zhang Bo, the command of the entire Ningbo Wei was also a mess, Liu Jin took the garrison army and the city defenders to fight with the Japanese and robbers, and then was beaten and fled. The dignified court is controlled by officials, and it is really shameless to defeat a group of thieves.

What is even more disgraceful is that the official army lost the battle, and hundreds of workers of Yang Ji actually won the battle, and the corpses of the widows and thieves were all over the field, and it is said that it takes half a day to count the heads. Compared with the two, Liu Jin, as a military attaché, has an even worse color on his face.

Yang Chengzu still has a messenger on his head who inspects the military equipment in the southeast, and he can take this one thing to ruin Liu Jin's future. He knelt on the ground without saying anything, waiting for the hair to fall, seeing his appearance, Yang Chengzu pulled the person up with his own hands, and comforted him with kind words, "Commander Liu, don't think too much, the battle is like this, and you can't put all the blame on you." The situation in the southeast is responsible, and I also know it, and the commendation that should be given to you will be given, and the credit that should be reported will be reported. ”

"Meritorious service, commendation?" Liu Jin looked suspicious, he was a hereditary commander, although he was not poor, he also sent filial piety to Yang Chengzu. But it's not as good as Hu Bingzhang, who can't take out too much silver to spend, and he doesn't have a beautiful daughter to give Yang Qin as a concubine. Not only did he not do it himself, but he also wanted to repay himself?

"That is, our Yang Ji is a business, and the workers have cut off so many heads, what's the point? If the bonus is given, I will give it to them, and as for the merits of the war, it will be given to the military guards, and everyone will look good. Commander Yuan and Zhang Qianhu are all loyal to the country, and there will be no shortage of expressions and pensions that they deserve. Go back and tell the sons and daughters, the decoction and burial will not deduct half a point, if there is a difficulty in the house, I Yang Ji will take the money first. ”

"It's true that no one is happy about losing a battle, but it's not fair to throw the pot on your head. This kind of thing has been going on for a long time, and even if you want to do something alone, you have no heart. Although this official came to inspect the military affairs in the southeast, it does not mean that he will be convicted of taking a random person to the top of the tank or losing the battle. The armament in the southeast is very poor, but this is not your responsibility, what this officer wants to do now is to make the poor armament stronger, and I hope you can help me. Is the arrow wound serious? Go back to treat the injury first, and talk slowly if you have something to say. ”

The erosion of the southeast military guard is not much more serious than that of the Beijing camp, if the Beijing camp is just an empty shelf, the southeast side can't even maintain an empty shelf. When the military guards encountered the Japanese pirates, they often took the initiative to defeat the battle, so that they could report the deficit of money, food, equipment, and the amount of soldiers who were greedy for ink to the battle damage. The mobilization of tens of thousands of troops on the battlefield is often only an establishment, and the actual number of troops is only a fraction of the number of mobilized, let alone in combat.

Even if the commander in chief wants to fight, the officers below have their own considerations, do not want to fight, dare not fight, or look forward to losing the battle to plug the deficit. In such a large environment, it is obviously unreasonable to ask Liu Jin to get out of the mud without staining. Yang Chengzu really needs to kill a group of people to establish his authority, and then it is possible to build up the weapons in the southeast, but this head does not want to borrow Liu Jin's head.

Although his talent is not high, at least he still dares to fight, and if he has the opportunity in the future, he can still cultivate it. What's more, he has been a commander for several years, and he has some understanding of the situation at sea, so he will be used in the next step. It is a strategy to take, or to be gentle, not coercion, but to give comfort and let him do things with confidence.

Liu Jin's eyes were red, he fell to the ground violently, and kowtowed vigorously, "I'm a rough man, I won't say anything good, Qincha, from today on, I will sell this life to you!" Whatever you ask me to do, we'll do. Go to the soup and go to the fire, and never give up! ”
