Chapter 25: Family
Zhang Mingxian stepped forward and was about to have a seizure, when Li Maochun saw it, he reached out and grabbed Zhang Mingxian's clothes.
Zhang Ming first looked back at Li Maochun, only to see Li Maochun shaking his head slightly, and motioned for him to look at Yang He with his eyes.
Zhang Ming was stunned for a moment, turned his eyes to look at Yang He, and saw that Yang He looked calm, as if he didn't care about everyone's laughter, Zhang Ming thought for a moment and slowly retracted his steps.
The wounded soldiers coaxed Yang He, not wanting Yang He to be completely unmoved, these people laughed for a while, feeling bored, and unconsciously accepted the laughter.
When everyone's laughter gradually subsided, Yang He arched his hand at everyone and said: "Brothers, just now this eldest brother said that I often go in and out of the Marshal's Mansion these days, although Yang He is new to the house, he is not a person who does not understand the rules, not to mention that the Shuaifu is not something that Yang He can enter if he wants to, it is really the Dashuai and the generals who call each other, how dare Yang He refuse?"
As for the eldest brother who said that Luo Dashuai and the generals are more important than me, Yang He still has this self-knowledge, Yang He is at best running errands and doing chores, it is estimated that the marshal and the generals also take a fancy to Yang He's diligence.
Yang He is a rookie egg, some things may not be done well, if Yang He did something wrong, or unconsciously offended which brother, please take care of some brothers, if you can afford Yang He, then point Yang He a thing or two. ”
Listening to Yang He's earnest words, the wounded soldiers were speechless for a while.
Yang He smiled and continued: "This eldest brother just said that I was covered in blood, like a little ghost in hell, Yang He didn't look in the mirror, I don't know what I look like, but after looking at the brothers, it is estimated that it should be similar to everyone, so let's big brother don't laugh at the second brother, everyone is each other." ”
When everyone heard this, they looked at each other, and then burst into laughter.
Listening to Yang He's words, everyone was dissatisfied, and Li Maochun couldn't help but secretly admire.
However, Yang He was modest, but Li Maochun knew what to say.
coughed lightly, and when everyone restrained their laughter, Li Maochun said with a straight face: "In the past few days, the brothers have seen that Luo Dashuai and our brothers have discussed with Brother Yang about something, and they feel unhappy in their hearts, in fact, there is a reason for this, and now I will tell you the reason."
First of all, let me tell you that the lives of our people were actually saved by Brother Yang, and if it weren't for Brother Yang's arson at night, which caused chaos in the camp, we would not have had a chance to escape from Xiping Fort.
After the Yang brothers set fire, they ambushed the Jianyu pursuers in the dungeon, and the Yang brothers attacked and killed more than ten Jianguo and captured more than ten war horses with the strength of one person.
After coming to Quang Ninh, Brother Yang accurately judged the situation and concluded that the rebels were in rebellion in the city, so that our army defeated the rebels in one fell swoop and recovered Quang Ninh City. Subsequently, Brother Yang made a strange plan to deter Jianyu with Xiong Jinglue's handsome banner, which gave Guangning the stability these days.
Who can do this? You see that the marshal and a few of our generals have something to discuss with Brother Yang, if you also have such wisdom, will the marshal and I not consult with you if there is something? ”
The wounded soldiers were silent when they heard this.
After a pause, Li Maochun continued: "Sun Defu, you just made fun of Brother Yang covered in blood, like a little ghost. Let me tell you, the blood on Brother Yang's body was splashed when he killed Jianyu.
Yesterday, Brother Yang felt that Jianyu's movements were wrong, and suspected that Jianyu had sent spies to the rear of Quang Ninh to inquire about the news. So the Yang brothers went out of the city alone, found the traces of Jianyu in the mountains south of the city, and then lurked in the mountains all night, and finally captured and killed two Jianyu spies to find out Jianyu's movements. ”
Li Maochun's eyes swept around the wounded soldiers, and he sneered and said: "If you can think of this, you don't need to ambush and kill the Jianyu spies, the marshal and I will ask for credit for you, and we will not hesitate to reward you." ”
The wounded soldiers couldn't help but bow their heads when they heard this.
Seeing that everyone was speechless, Li Maochun sighed and said: "It is said that Brother Yang has made so many contributions, and he should be mentioned at least a hundred long, but Brother Yang is just a captain now." ”
Looking at everyone, Li Maochun sneered: "If you were replaced, if you had made so many merits and only been promoted to a captain, I am afraid that you would have jumped up a long time ago!" ”
"Brother Yang has made so many contributions, why didn't the handsome man promote him?" Sun Defuge said.
Li Maochun sneered: "It's not because of you! Brother Yang is just a captain now, and you still don't like him horizontally and vertically, if you are promoted to a hundred sentinels, you may not be able to make trouble! ”
Seeing Sun Defu open his mouth to speak, Li Maochun waved his hand and said, "I told you these things in the hope that you would not be jealous of Brother Yang. I'll be honest with you, including Luo Dashuai, a few of us have never regarded Brother Yang as an ordinary soldier, and General Zhang has long called Brother Yang a brother.
Let me tell you one more thing, in fact, the relocation of the people and the evacuation of the wounded soldiers were also proposed by Brother Yang, and in order to allow everyone enough time to evacuate, Brother Yang persuaded us to stay and hold on to Quang Ninh.
I might as well tell you, if it weren't for Brother Yang's persuasion, the ghost would have stayed and worked hard with Jianyu for the sake of the people and you wounded soldiers, you can run, you can run, your life is great, and you deserve to be unlucky if you can't run! ”
Sighing, Li Maochun continued: "Speaking of which, Brother Yang has already saved everyone twice. The ancients said that when the spring reciprocates, the brothers were saved twice by Brother Yang, and I don't know how to repay Brother Yang for saving his life? ”
Sun Defu hurriedly said: "Master Li, the brothers didn't know about what you just said, and the brothers thought that Brother Yang was a sloppy person, so they didn't like Brother Yang.
Now the brothers know what Brother Yang has done, and they are all convinced by Brother Yang. You asked us how to repay Brother Yang for saving his life, and the brothers didn't know how to repay him, so they could only sell their lives to Brother Yang in the future. ”
When the wounded soldiers heard this, they echoed it.
Li Maochun waved his hand to stop everyone from shouting: "For the time being, it's not the time for the brothers to give Brother Yang their lives, and now there is only one small thing for the brothers to help." ”
"Master Li, please speak." All the wounded soldiers walked in unison.
"Brother Yang has a relative who wants to enter the customs with your brothers, I hope that you brothers will protect along the way, so as not to disturb Brother Yang's relatives." Li Maochun said.
"Don't worry about Lord Li, don't worry about Brother Yang, the brothers will definitely protect the safety of Brother Yang's family." Sun Defu said loudly.
Hearing Li Maochun say that the people who let everyone protect are his relatives, Yang He couldn't help frowning, but there was no way to think that Li Maochun said this, and he couldn't let everyone protect a person who was not related to them, so he didn't refute it.
But Yang He didn't expect that Sun Defu's mouth would become a family member who protected him, and for a while Yang He was very anxious, he was nothing as a big man, but Miss Liu was a lady who didn't have a marriage contract, and if this was going to be spread, wouldn't that ruin people's reputation?
Yang He was about to speak, when he suddenly felt Li Maochun take his hand and shake it gently.
Immediately listened to Li Maochun say to Sun Defu: "You must not disturb Brother Yang's relatives. ”
"Don't worry, Lord Li, whoever disturbs Brother Yang's family, Lao Tzu will discount his hands and feet." Sun Defu said.
"Then I will hand over Brother Yang's relatives to you for protection." Li Maochun said.
"I will never live up to Lord Li's entrustment." Sun Defu said loudly.
Li Maochun nodded, turned his head to Yang He and said: "Brother Yang, Sun Defu is Luo Dashuai's old subordinate, he is very brave in battle, and he is also very righteous, but he has no brains, Dashuai loves him very much, from a small soldier all the way to the general, you can rest assured of him." ”
Yang He actually hasn't figured out what the military position of the Ming Dynasty is like now, but Li Maochun introduced this person's position like this, thinking that it must be an official position.
(The military system of the Ming Dynasty was chaotic, and many of the commanders were based on their own preferences, so the military titles of the junior officers were not the same.)
For example, the basic establishment of the Qi family army is an army, a team, a flag, a division, a bureau, and a battalion. Five people and one team, set up a team leader, two teams and one team, set up a captain, three teams and one flag, set up a flag general, set up three flags and one division, set up one hundred general, set up three divisions and one bureau, set up a general, three bureaus and one battalion, set up a thousand general.
The establishment of the Qi family army is very fine, and the armament of the troops is also very complete, but the commanders of some units do not want to make it so complicated, and directly put five people and one team, two teams and one team, five teams and one sentry, and five sentry and one battalion.
Due to the confusion in the establishment, the military titles of many officers seem to be the same, but in fact, the number of soldiers under their command is different, for example, there are only 12 people in the first team of the Qi family's army, while the team of Luo Zheng's department is more than 20 people.
In the Qi family army, the general manager of Bai and the general are always two positions, and the sentry chief of the department of Ke Luo has always been the general manager, also called the general manager.
The generals below made such a mess of the names and establishment of the officers, and the imperial court could not do this, and the imperial court determined their titles and grades according to the number of officers and soldiers. The battalion system unit, leading more than 100 officers, that is, 100 chiefs, the official title is the general.
The overall grade is the seventh grade, which is the same as the county official. However, the Ming Dynasty was noble and martial, and the rank of the military attache was not valuable, and a fourth-grade or even third-grade military general did not have a seventh-grade civil official prestige. )
Yang He didn't think much about it, and immediately hugged his fists and said: "There is Brother Laosun." ”
Sun Defu also hugged his fists and said: "Brother Yang is polite, you saved the lives of the brothers, and your affairs, even if the brothers are desperate, they have to do it for you." ”
Yang He smiled and said, "Then thank you Brother Sun, when my brother goes back, I will definitely invite Brother Sun to drink." ”
Sun Defu said with a smile: "The brothers invite Brother Yang to drink." ”
The crowd laughed.
Li Maochun waved his hand and said, "Okay, brothers, hurry up and pack up, and then find a few big carts, and set up the carts when the horses come." ”
When the soldiers heard this, they should have said in unison.
Li Maochun turned his head to look at Zhang Mingxian and said, "Brother Zhang, you and Brother Yang go and inform Lao Liu's family and let them prepare to leave." ”
Zhang Ming nodded first, and immediately beckoned Yang He to Liu's house together.
Yang He pointed to the blood on his body and smiled bitterly at Zhang Mingxian: "Brother Zhang, how can I meet people like this, and not scare them to death?" In addition, I still have some things I want my brothers to take away, I don't think it's better like this, Brother Zhang, you go to Liu's house, I'll go back and pack my things. ”
"Do you still have any possessions?" Zhang Ming said strangely.
