Song Xiaoai was rushing to the Governor's Mansion with a group of personal soldiers, and suddenly saw a white-haired old man shouting, shouting "Officers and soldiers fighting, destroy my tavern", and hurriedly asked someone to stop him and ask: "Old man, what happened?" ”

The old man stomped his feet and said, "Girl, don't stop me in my way, there are two groups of officers and soldiers fighting in my restaurant, and I am rushing to the governor's palace to report the news."

Song Xiaoai led the army to Suzhou, and was placed on a slope outside the city that resembles a mountain, Yang Ling not only sent half a month's rations first, but also because they said yesterday that they had a meritorious service in killing the widows, and also rewarded a thousand taels of silver, Song Xiaoai was very happy, which was rushed to the governor's palace to thank him.

At this time, when he heard the officers and soldiers fighting, Song Xiaoai couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and shouted: "What is it that doesn't open your eyes, the commander won a big battle, and the people were very happy, but they were causing trouble at this time, go, take me to see!" ”

The old man said with a bitter face: "Girl, those are two groups of soldiers, I heard that there is also a general, you can't afford to provoke it, don't delay my business, I'm afraid that the restaurant will be demolished in a while."

A strong soldier next to him said proudly: "Our head is a female officer and general soldier, and the emperor himself sealed it, so he can't control them?" ”

Song Xiaoai actually gave the post of general, but the rank of commander-in-chief, the official position should be above the general, as soon as she heard the words of her subordinates, the little girl unconsciously straightened up her plump chest, and said proudly: "Don't worry, whoever dares to be disobedient, the official will take him down, hit the forty boards, and lead the way in front of the head."

The old man heard from the diner that the army that helped the governor to break the Japanese invaders last night was the wolf soldiers of the Guangxi Zhuang family, and the leader was a female general.

He hurriedly led Song Xiaoai back to the restaurant, the Shandong soldiers and the Sichuan soldiers had already played a real fire at this time, but the Sichuan soldiers were generally shorter than the Shandong soldiers, and the general Jiang Zhou had just run downstairs and was hit by a bench, and now he was lying on the ground unconscious.

Song Xiaoai stepped into the restaurant, and when she saw that the house was full of messes, she couldn't help but say, "Stop!" Whose soldiers are you? How dare you be so bold! ”

A Shandong soldier saw that it was a beautiful little girl, so he dropped the stool leg in his hand and said with a smile: "Xiao Nizi, what are you doing with men, honestly cooking at home and taking care of the baby, these awkward things, he just owes a beating!" ”

After he finished speaking, he saw that a partner was dragged to the ground by two Sichuan soldiers, and was riding on his body and beating him, and immediately yelled and pounced. Song Xiaoai shouted: "I am the chief officer of the general staff, you have to listen to me."

The soldiers on both sides are fighting vigorously, who is willing to listen to what this little girl shouts, Song Xiaoai is the head of Nandan Prefecture, she is usually a hundred people, when has she been snubbed, she couldn't help but be angry when she saw this situation, she waved her hand and shouted: "Take it all for me!" ”

When a group of Zhuang men saw that the leader had given the order, they immediately rushed in, joined the battle group, and turned the hotel owner around. Fortunately, the physique of these strong soldiers was already relatively strong, and the strength of the soldiers on both sides of Sichuan and Lu was almost done, and after a scuffle, they were finally caught by all her people.

In the front yard of the Governor's Palace, the soldier with a blue nose and swollen face stood in a courtyard, and a stretcher was put together on the ground next to him with a table board.

Yang Ling sat on an official hat chair under the corridor, and looked at the two teams of officers and soldiers coldly, the two teams had clear barriers, glared at each other angrily, and looked at the tense appearance, if it wasn't for the governor on it, they would have to fight again on the spot.

Bai Chongzan's face was also angry, he pressed the sword under his ribs, and paced back and forth in the courtyard angrily, a Sichuan military station was straight, and he was loudly reciting military orders: "Military discipline one: Smell the drum and don't advance, smell the gold more than enough, the flag can't be raised, the flag can't be subdued, this is called a rebellion against the army, and the offender will be beheaded."

Military discipline two: the name should not be called, the time is not enough, the time is not reached, the law of the division is changed, this is called the slow army, and the offender will be beheaded. Military discipline three: night spread of the fight, sluggishness and not reporting, even more planning is slow, the number is unknown, this is called slacking the army, the offender is beheaded"

He couldn't memorize it anymore when he carried the ninth article, Bai Chongzan sneered, and with a wave of his hand, two law enforcement pro-soldiers rushed over and pressed him down on the spot, and the two military sticks flew left and right, and they fought with each other, and this Sichuan army was also fierce, gritting his teeth and being stunned.

Bai Chongzan pointed at a Shandong soldier and said coldly: "You, go on!" ”

There were only a few soldiers who could carry the general's discipline, and after a while, the courtyard was knocked down, and the crackling sound came and went, and there were fewer and fewer soldiers standing around the two generals.

At this time, it was the turn of a Shandong soldier, only to listen to his high tune, the military discipline back of the tone and frustration, sonorous and powerful, after the "seventeen forbidden laws and fifty-four slashes" were all memorized, he glanced at the Sichuan soldiers proudly, and saluted Yang Ling and said: "Commander, the mark has been memorized!" ”

Yang Ling held a cup of tea, and used the tea lid to pluck the tea from time to time, and his eyelids did not lift, but he said slowly: "Finished reciting?" It's not wrong to say a word, where are you from, what is your last name? ”

The soldier raised his head proudly and said loudly: "Commander Hui, the name marked is from Dezhou, Shandong, and the surname is Yang Mingquan!" ”

Yang Ling said with a smile: "Well, Yang Quan Yang Quan, hehehe, it's still my family, good, good!" ”

Yang Quan's face just showed joy, and Yang Ling said lightly: "It's good to memorize everything, know the law and break the law, and the crime will be added to one class, come and add ten sticks!" ”

"Gah?" Yang Quan was stunned for a while, and before he could tell, he was pushed to the ground by two law enforcement soldiers, and the Sichuan soldiers on the opposite side laughed loudly when they saw this, and even those who were lying on the ground and were being beaten grinned with a strange grin.

Yang Ling handed the teacup to the side, stood up and said, "Not bad, you guys, huh?" This official wants to fight the Japanese invaders, and asks the emperor to send some soldiers who can fight to come, and the commanders of Shandong and Sichuan have sent you here, and it seems that he really put a lot of thought into it. Yes, the military stick is next to the body, and no one is stunned to cry out in pain, all of them are men! ”

As soon as his voice changed, he shouted: "But this official has transferred you here to fight the Japanese and protect the people!" Did you let you kill each other and demolish the buildings for the common people? Who knocked Jiang out of the woods? Stand out! ”

Yang Quan lay on the ground and shouted, "It's under the mark!" The mark is being executed by military law, and I can't get up, please forgive me! ”

Yang Ling sneered and said: "What a sharp mouth, complaining more, angry with its main generals, not listening to restraints, and even more difficult to control, the following crimes, hurting the generals, punishing several crimes, and showing him to the public!" ”

The Shandong soldiers were shocked when they heard this order, and the laughter of the Sichuan soldiers also stopped abruptly. Meng Sihai was anxious, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and saluted: "Governor Shuai, Yang Quan followed the last general to conquer bandits and bandits, and repeatedly made war exploits, begging the commander for forgiveness." This matter is all due to the late general's lax discipline and connivance with his subordinates, so please ask the commander to punish the last general, and the last general is willing to bear all the blame."

Yang Ling said coldly: "Yang Quan committed a crime and seriously injured a court official and a dignified general, can you afford this crime?" If he is pardoned for his capital crimes, how will the soldiers of the Sichuan army be convinced? ”

Meng Sihai was furious in his heart: What is the Sichuan army dissatisfied? Dignified dry fight, Lao Tzu didn't stumble under the legs, you are not as good as others when you lose the battle, why do you have to learn from children to find adults to complain?

But Meng Sihai is very righteous, now his own personal soldiers are hanging by a thread, listening to the tone of the commander, if the Sichuan army is willing to let him go, he will pardon him for the capital crime, he had to arch his hand to Jiang Zhou, squeezed out a smile and said: "Lord Jiang, it is all our soldiers who are reckless." The so-called don't fight and don't know each other, Meng and you can be regarded as a fate, Meng is willing to make friends with Brother Jiang, and ask Brother Jiang to help me say a favor to adults."

Jiang Zhou's head was still aching, the blood on his cheeks had scabbed, and he was really annoyed with that Yang Quan, but he didn't stretch out his hand to hit the smiling person, and besides, it was normal to fight in the army, could it really be that he used an adult's knife to cut off someone's head? ”

He was hesitating, Yang Quan was lying on the ground and shouted: "My lord, you don't have to beg him, your head has a big scar, and you will be a good man after twenty years, and you are not afraid of death under the mark!" ”

Meng Sihai turned around angrily and scolded: "Get out of your mother, you don't know what to do!" ”

Jiang Zhou laughed when he heard this, he sat on the table, and said with a smile: "You melon baby, you want to get it, you dare to cut Lao Tzu's head, hehe, Lao Tzu disdains to be knowledgeable with you."

He turned his head to Yang Ling and said: "Commander, we people have come all the way to follow the commander to fight the widows, seeing that his baby is frustrated, he has the strength to kill a few more widows." Let the governor be merciful and forgive his sins."

Yang Ling smiled and said, "Okay! If you say so, the Governor will sell you face and spare him the death penalty. Hum! It's not just him, even if these troublesome soldiers are not all killed, I also want to ask the captain of the two of you, since his head is sent, the official is not too much, those two people will be let go for the time being! ”

He raised his voice and said: "But the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime is unforgivable, you people disturb military discipline and plague people's houses, this compensation will be deducted from your military salary, and your sins will also be recorded by the clerk. ”

As soon as he waved his hand, the non-commissioned officers who carried out the military law stopped and retreated to the sides with their sticks. Yang Ling raised his voice and said, "Is it glorious to fight for a dinner table?" Doesn't your stick hurt? If you don't squeak, you're a man? According to this official, he can only be regarded as a ruffian, whether he is a real man, and he sees the real chapter on the battlefield with the Japanese cowards.

Meng Sihai and Jiang Zhou were not strict in their control, connived at group beatings, and each was demoted by half a level and still led the original army to obey. You all think you're heroes, don't you? Go back and train your troops well, and after a few days, the officer will send you into battle to kill the enemy, Shandong soldiers, Sichuan soldiers, and your two armies will fight together. Who is the hero and who is the dog male, use your military exploits to speak! ”

Jiang Zhou and Meng Sihai glanced at each other, and at the same time arched their hands and said, "Don't obey orders!" ”

Yang Ling was about to order someone to get a few sets of cars to get all these wounded soldiers back, when suddenly someone ran forward and said, "My lord, the political envoy Liu asks to see him."

Yang Ling was a little surprised when he heard this, Lord Liu hurriedly walked into the courtyard, and saw so many soldiers standing in the courtyard, which startled him, he saw Yang Ling, and then withdrew his gaze and said: "Oh, Lord Yang, the lower official really had to come to see him, and asked the lord to be the master of the lower official!" ”

Yang Lingqi said: "Lord Liu, where did you start with this, what happened?" ”

Lord Liu said with a bitter face: "Those wolf soldiers are stationed outside Dongcheng, cutting down people's trees at will, building houses and burning firewood, stealing chickens and dogs. There are also some wolf soldiers who saw the remote people's homes, and simply robbed and stole them, many squires ran to the lower officials to cry, and the lower officials ordered the inspection department to go to the yamen to find out, who expected that the yacha was beaten by the wolf soldiers, and ran back in embarrassment.

"Huh?" , Yang Ling said yesterday that he saw the appearance of those wolf soldiers who fought bravely and won the officers and soldiers, and had high expectations for them, and thought that this was a brave and disciplined soldier who did not commit any crimes against the people, why was the military discipline so bad?

Yang Ling looked back at Song Xiaoai under the corridor, Song Xiaoai opened a pair of big black and white eyes, and was also looking at him inexplicably. Yang Ling commanded helplessly: "Come here, prepare a horse for me!" Mr. Song, please go and have a look with this officer."

Yang Ling arrived outside Dongcheng, and it took a secret visit to find out the truth of the matter. It turned out that after these strong soldiers were placed outside the city, there were not enough military tents, but they were used to living a hard life, so they didn't care about this, and they were all in the line of building wooden houses.

They used to live in the mountains, but they had never heard that trees still had owners, so they naturally cut down trees when they saw them. The people came forward to theorize, either because they didn't understand each other's language, or they felt that they were helping these people fight, and they were justified in chopping and chopping, so they didn't pay attention to it at all.

Although these wolf soldiers are brave in battle, and they are kind and simple to the people of their own clan, it does not mean that they are very kind to everyone. It turned out that the military salaries of Han officers and soldiers had two items: settling-in allowance and rations, but the wolf soldiers only had rations according to the rules of the imperial court, one cent and two cents of silver per day, and one liter of military rations per person a day.

However, the local officials of the states were very harsh on their own soldiers, and if they cut off their heads during the battle, they paid the silver according to the rules and were never ambiguous, but the silver allocated by the imperial court was all deducted by them, and even most of the military rations were hidden, and those wolf soldiers could not eat enough at all, so how could they not steal and plunder?

Yang Ling figured out the truth, and he also felt a headache. Although it is clear that they have embezzled military salaries and hidden military rations, once they are not properly handled, it will provoke ethnic contradictions and force the strong people in various states to rebel.

Fortunately, Song Xiaoai was originally a descendant of Han officials, and she was more kind to the tribal people, and she had the largest power and the widest territory among the state heads, so her prestige was extremely high.

Yang Ling and Song Xiaoai discussed privately, and decided to send a quartermaster to assist the wolf soldiers in managing military salaries and military supplies.

Therefore, Yang Ling, as the governor of the six provinces, had to arrange for the quartermaster to be responsible for distributing salaries and salaries, and as the leader of the leaders of the six states, Song Xiaoai had already agreed, and they had nothing to say.

Yang Ling and Song Xiaoai had dealt with these matters and were about to return to the city, when Song Xiaoai suddenly said: "Lord Governor, you want to send a quartermaster to assist me in managing the grain and grass, can this candidate send the general surnamed Wu next to you?" ”

"Huh?" Yang Ling glanced at her inquiringly.

Song Xiaoai's face was a little hot, and she didn't know how she could say this sentence in her mouth, but when she thought that she could fight side by side with that young general with high martial arts, her heart suddenly felt a little hot.

She mustered up the courage to say: "General Wu's superb martial arts make me very admired, so I really want to have the opportunity to ask him for advice.

Yang Ling saw that this hearty and generous girl suddenly became eating and eating Ai Ai, and couldn't help but move in his heart, Xiao Wu has outstanding character and strong martial arts, could it be that this Song General Soldier is the most relieved for his Xiao Wu to manage military supplies. In addition, the Zhuang family's seven-person foot combat method is extremely ingenious, and it has great combat value, so send Xiaowu to learn it back, which can be applied to the army. Moreover, now it seems that the wolf soldiers are brave, but it is really difficult to control, if this female leader is all tied to Wu Hanchao, then how can there be no reason not to fully cooperate and do their best when fighting against bandits? Well, kill three birds with one stone, this is a good deal.

Yang Ling thought of this and said with a smile: "What's so difficult about this? When the officer returns to the city, he will let General Wu stay in your army."

Yang Ling came out of the big tent, called Wu Hanchao to instruct, ordered him to stay in the wolf army as a quartermaster, and brought Liu Dabang and a group of personal soldiers to rush back to the city, he hurried to the backyard and asked Cheng Qiyun to immediately allocate a batch of grain and grass to the wolf soldiers. After finishing his business, he suddenly remembered one more thing, and said, "By the way, where did you arrange Yang Quan's third brother?" When I came to Jiangnan this time, I forgot to ask."

Cheng Qiyun was stunned and said in surprise: "Why did the adults suddenly remember him?" ”

Yang Ling said with a smile: "Today, the Sichuan soldiers and the Shandong soldiers are fighting, and there is a Shandong soldier named Yang Quan, because the voice is the same, I just remembered this incident."

Cheng Qiyun had already known from Gao Wenxin that Yang Quan had taken advantage of Yang Ling's critical illness to covet Yang Ling's family property and wife's house, how could Yang Ling, such a villain, really care? At least it wasn't until now that Yang Ling remembered that there was such a relative in Jiangnan, which showed that Yang Quan had no place in his heart, and with this judgment, she had a bottom in her heart.

With Dai Lou'er's usual style, she has always been cold-blooded and ruthless to get rid of those who dare to infringe on her interests. Now, one of her hearts has unconsciously been completely tied to Yang Ling, and all of Yang Ling's interests, all joys, sorrows, and sorrows have become the goal she will do everything to maintain.

In her eyes, as long as it is unfavorable to Yang Ling, it should be removed, and as for right and wrong, she will not consider it at all. Her tenderness, love, care and care are only for Yang Ling alone. She has been tortured and deceived since she was a child, and her heart has long been tempered like iron and stone, and she has no cheap mercy for others.

Yang Quan, a villain who is rampant when he is ambitious, can only do bad to Yang Ling's official reputation, and sooner or later he will become a weapon used by those imperial envoys and officials who are staring at Yang Ling and waiting for him to make mistakes. For such a potential danger, with her surname, how could she sit idly by and watch it become a reality one day.

However, although Yang Quan was shameless, after all, he was a member of the Yang clan, Cheng Qiyun couldn't figure out how much Yang Ling attached importance to the blood relatives of the clan, and she didn't dare to touch him for a while, so she found a tax official for Yang Quan in Jinling, and wanted to find out Yang Ling's opinion.

After Yang Ling came to Jiangnan, she didn't mention this cousin, and she had a bottom in her heart, and began to secretly plan to get rid of this person who coveted Yang Ling's wife and family wealth, and clinged to the powerful but had bad conduct.

When she heard Yang Ling's question, she thought that she had misestimated Yang Ling's mentality, so she couldn't help but be a little flustered, and only after listening to his explanation did Cheng Qiyun put her mind at ease.

She smiled and said, "Third Brother Yang, Third Brother has always hoped to be as successful as an adult and be crowned an official and a marquis." The humble post originally arranged for the third brother to be a tax collector in Jinling, but the third brother only wanted to make military achievements, but he did not know the military, so he had no way to serve the country. When he discussed with the old man Peng to summon the giant thief Wang Meiren of Anputuo Mountain, the third brother learned the news, so he volunteered to go up the mountain.

Your Excellency should know that the officers and soldiers recruit bandits, according to the usual practice, they have to arrange hostages to calm their minds, and at the same time, this person is responsible for delivering news to both sides and playing the role of envoys. However, the news of Wang Meiren's defection to the imperial court is still in the blockade, in order to cover people's eyes and ears, I arranged for Yang Sange to defect to Wang Meiren as a northern thief, and now he is the second leader of Putuo Mountain."

When Yang Ling heard this, he couldn't believe his ears, and his jaw was about to fall: "What? You asked him to pretend to be a northern thief and go to the pirate group to be the second leader? Is he the material? ”

He said with a sneer: "How can you let him come because of his identity?" What big things can he do? Two masters! Alas! He was in the purple bamboo forest of Putuo Mountain to be the god of Guanyin as the god of guarding the mountain."

Cheng Qiyun smiled and said: "My lord, don't worry, Third Brother Yang is now making the best use of his materials and materials, and he is doing a good job in Putuo Mountain!" ”

"The second master, the anchor is raised!" A pirate said respectfully.

"Well, set sail!" Yang Quan stepped on the boat and waved his hand vigorously.

The three huge sails were thrown from above, the shirtless and barefoot sailors hurriedly ran on the deck, the hull shook for a while, and slowly left the dock, the three-masted wooden ship sailed out of the bay for more than a hundred feet, and the pirates adjusted the sailcloth and began to speed to the northeast.

The sea breeze blows, with a hint of saltiness, which makes people feel very comfortable. Yang Quan looked back at the distant mountain shadow, and smiled: "Damn, I fell for that little slut, when I was in Jinling, every time I scavenged some silver, drank a small wine, and walked around the kiln, how carefree I was, I blamed me for listening to the words of the little slut, saying that the pirate's den is full of gold and silver, and the beauties of the captive countries look like fairies in the sky."

As a result, it's good to be here, to be a pirate, to be a pirate, to talk about robbing the rich and helping the poor, robbing money and not robbing money, the pirates on the island are usually like some fishermen, and few of those girls are beautiful, and they are all pirates' wives, and they can't be moved, and they are pulled by a few bandits all day long to pour wine into large bowls and small bowls, and they are dizzy every day."

The waves crashed against the hull of the boat, and the feeling of being top-heavy came again, and Yang Quan was afraid that he would sink into the water, so he hurriedly and carefully left the side of the ship.

Wang Meiren's real name is Wang Xian, long thin and weak, he lost his hand when he did a single kidnapping ticket in the past, and was chased by the officers and soldiers all the way and his subordinates fled, after Wang Xian fled into a village, he saw that the pursuers were very anxious, and he shaved off his beard in a hurry, put on women's clothes and swaggered to meet the pursuers, and escaped.

This matter was ridiculed by Peng Fugui and a group of old pirates after they knew, and he gave him the nickname of Wang Beauty, and now he commands nearly 10,000 pirates, controls six islands, and becomes one of the four giants on the water, but Wang Xian's name is little known, and the pirates call him Wang Ye to his face, and he is still called Wang Meiren behind his back.

Recently, the activities of the Japanese are rampant, the imperial court is very anxious to suppress the Japanese people, and the water business is not easy to do.

The people of the sea seals have never paid any attention to morality, and they have done everything to take money and sex. Yang Quan heard that there were women from Korea, Yuben, Ryukyu, Yizhou and Hangzhou who had been captured on Cao Tianpet's Dulong Island, and his heart was very strong for a while.

Yang Quan looked back at Putuo Mountain, where there was only a little black shadow left, and gritted his teeth and smiled: "You useless Wang Meiren, you are really a sea thief!" He turned his head to look into the distance again, and said with a smile: "Beauty, my second master is here!" ”
