Chapter 48: Wine Bag Rice Bag
"These bitches are bitches!"
Mei Zhihuan slapped his palm heavily on the table, and the paper and pen on the table jumped up in unison. "Exterminate humanity, livestock!"
After scolding a few times, Mei Zhihuan's chest rose and fell, and a wave of anger was difficult to calm in his heart. "Are you all fucking eaters, you actually let a group of thieves come in and out, come and go as you want, you haven't caught them for so long, and now they have slaughtered an entire village, you still have face?"
In front of Mei Zhihuan stood a row of big men, all of whom were officers of the Baoshengbao Township Regiment. There are not only the battalion officers and mid-term officers of the regular barracks, but also the captains of the elite cavalry teams, the captains of the teams that do not close the team at night, and the captains of the various brigades of the ranger battalions.
More than a dozen important generals of the township regiment stood in a row, and everyone was scolded. Usually, the township regiment of Baoshengbao is loud in Macheng, and even in the entire Qihuang Prefecture in eastern Hubei Province, so they can't give them some face. Although they are not officers and soldiers of the guard, they are much more popular than those called Huazi soldiers in the guard.
But today, they can only be scolded and dare not raise their heads. Because the Lin family's village on the side of Guanghuang Avenue in Xianju Township was slaughtered by the gang of thieves, the situation was extremely miserable, the men were killed, and the thieves even cut off the heads of all the men and inserted them in the stakes.
The young children were even more plunged directly into the sharpened stakes, and the women were even more miserable, and the night when they rushed to inspect did not receive a return, and all the women were humiliated, first raped and then killed, and the misery was extremely miserable.
And the thieves who caused such a killing did not come from other places to commit crimes, but since last year, they have often been wandering on Guanghuang Avenue to commit crimes, but before they only robbed some passing merchants, fought petty fights, and the township regiment dispatched several times but did not catch anyone, so forget it, but I didn't expect such a big tragedy to happen this time.
"Waste, a bunch of wine bags and rice bags!" Mei Zhihuan was furious. After he returned to his hometown, he actively campaigned, raised funds everywhere, and single-handedly established the township regiment of Baoshengbao. This is no longer just a private household servant, but to protect the entire Macheng and even the entire Qihuang region of eastern Hubei Province.
There are many men and horses, and they are fully equipped, not only a cavalry team of several hundred people, but also a well-trained elite night team, and he even got a large number of artillery guns from southern Jiangxi, Guangdong, and other places, and built a firearms unit of several hundred people. In the past few years, this township regiment has become larger and stronger, and there are regular barracks formed by recruited elites, and there are guerrilla battalions composed of homeless people.
He also sent a guerrilla battalion to guard the township forts, which made a great contribution to the stability of the land of a township, which has always been Mei Zhihuan's proudest thing.
But now, under the protection of his village regiment, there was an entire village that had been slaughtered, and not in the treacherous northern mountains, but on the most important road leading to the city.
"How much do you know about these thieves now, and how much can you exterminate them?" Mei Zhihuan asked.
"Mei Gong, this gang of thieves has been committing crimes between Guanghuang for more than a year, and they have always been cunning and cautious. This time, the thief attacked so fiercely that we were all furious. However, if you want to find them and destroy them, I am afraid that it will not be feasible for a while. ”
"Rice bucket, don't make excuses for your incompetence." Mei Zhihuan was very dissatisfied with this answer.
"Three days, I only give you three days, three days later, I want to see you bring the heads of the bandits who slaughtered the Lin family village, and I will hang all their heads on the gate of the county town to show the public."
"Three days is too short"
"I'm just going to give you three days."
A group of township regiment officers complained one after another, "Three days is too short, and the area of Linjiazhai before belonged to the nine-headed bird and horse team stationed in Queen City, and they are more familiar with it." "There are generals who are starting to shirk their responsibilities.
Mei Zhihuan glared at the man, but he didn't blindly protect the nine-headed bird team.
"It's been so long, why hasn't the Nine-headed Bird reported the situation yet, does anyone know what they're doing now?"
Someone replied, "The Nine-Headed Bird Camp goes around the camp in Queen City every day, but it eats and drinks well every day, has three meals a day, and has meat every day. Life was so chic that it is said that the squires of the Queen City gave them thousands of taels of silver. This will, I guess they won't dare to go out even if they hide in the camp. ”
Mei Zhihuan said, "Immediately send two riders to Queen City, and let Gongji and Jiye come to discuss the extermination of this gang of thieves." ”
Xing'an Temple.
The battle is over.
In the dark night, piles of bonfires were lit in Daxing Temple, and the soldiers of the Nine-Headed Bird and Horse Team were cleaning up the battlefield.
Liu Jun and Li Chunjiang both carried long knives to patrol the battlefield, "Dead thieves, cut off their heads, and those who are not dead, tie them up and don't kill them." ”
The doctors in the two teams also began to get busy at this time, carrying a medicine box and commanding several soldiers with the middle flag to check the injuries of the soldiers of the nine-headed bird, and they first assessed the injuries of the wounded according to what Liu Jun had taught in the previous training.
"Well, your kid just scratched a little skin, it's okay at all, the blood on his clothes is a thief, and it's a great blessing." The doctor examined the winter dog, and the large blood stains on his body looked terrifying, but when he took off his armor, he only had a little skin wound, and the arrow that shot him passed through the cotton armor, and it only entered the flesh a little. A little medicine and you'll be fine.
"First take this gauze to stop the bleeding, and after the bleeding stops, take water and soju to clean the wound, and it will be fine." As he spoke, the doctor tied a strip of green cloth to the arm of the winter dog, which means that he is basically fine and does not need follow-up diagnostic medication.
The member of the Zhongqi team next to him looked at Dong Gouzi with envy, and at the feet of Dong Gouzi, there were three heads. This is all the personal result of Winter Dog. As soon as the battle was over, Winter Dog immediately took a knife and cut off the heads of the three thieves he had killed.
Fortunately, there are rules in the usual training, and soldiers are not allowed to cut off heads before the battle is over. And tonight's battle was not too chaotic, he killed a total of three people, at first he shot one with a bird, then he attacked the temple, and with a bird, he shot a leader who was about to escape, and finally with the help of the dog, he used a long knife to kill a wounded one.
For the rest, their team also worked together to kill a few heads, and now the heads are placed at the feet of the firefighters, which can be regarded as the collective military merit of the team.
"Brother Dog is mighty, twenty taels for one head, now you have made a lot of money, three heads are sixty taels, not counting other military merits." The village warrior of the middle banner is a drummer, he beats the drum behind when he fights, and after the fight, he follows the doctor to heal the wounded, although it is much safer, but compared to the war team, there are many fewer opportunities. In peacetime, the salary is less, and the reward for fighting is less.
Winter Gouzi looked proud, "You usually practice drums well, but also practice bird guns, as long as you have enough skills, you can also enter the battle team." He looked at the three bloody heads at his feet, and surprisingly did not feel the slightest fear, only the uncontrollable excitement.
Three heads, one is twenty taels, three is sixty taels, no, one is the leader, one can top two, then these three are worth eighty taels. Oh my God, eighty taels of silver, that's how much. Normally, he was paid two taels of silver a month, and eighty taels was his forty months' salary, which was equivalent to three years and four months.
He was even wondering what he was going to do with the money when he got it. First take the money to find a good girl to betroth, and then hire someone to build a big house in the house, well, and buy a few more acres of land.
Another doctor also looked at the thief's head at his feet when he passed by, and said with a smile, "What's the reward, Winter Dog has made such a great contribution this time, and he will definitely rise when he turns around, don't forget to buy us a drink when the time comes." ”
"Definitely, definitely." Winter Dog smiled brightly.
At this time, Liu Jun and Li Chunjiang, who were inspecting the battlefield, came over with a few family members. Liu Jun also saw several heads under his feet at a glance.
"It's all your results?"
"Back to the sir, yes."
Liu Jun smiled, "Brother dog, you are getting more and more promising, you can kill three of them alone." ”
At this time, Ye Bushu behind Liu Jun stepped forward to look at the heads of the people, pointed to one of them and said to Liu Jun and the two, "This is the leader of the bandits, the big Ma Gui." Look at his face, his face is pockmarked, very easy to recognize. ”
When the head was lifted, several people looked at it carefully in the light of the fire, and their faces were indeed pockmarked. Liu Jun also asked someone to bring in a few captives who were still alive and asked them to identify them separately, and it turned out that Dong Gouzi had indeed taken a shit luck and actually killed a bandit leader with one shot.
"The scribe gave Zhang Donggou a credit, beheaded the bandit leader Zi Magui, and the two thieves."
The clerk of the horse team who followed Liu Jun hurriedly picked up the pen and recorded it truthfully, and while remembering, he looked at the winter dog who opened his mouth wide and couldn't speak with some envy.
A poor hunter in Dongshan really turned over in a blink of an eye. Usually the bird plays well, and Liu Qi always appreciates it and often points out. Now he also earns face, killed three in the first battle, and killed the bandit leader.
"Winter dog, what do you want to tell the brothers now?" Liu Jun asked him with a smile.
Winter Dog swallowed, and some of them didn't recover from this great happiness. Now his mind is full of the rewards awarded before the battle, and the reward for killing or capturing the leader of the bandits alive is one hundred taels of silver!
"Mr. Qi, can I really get a hundred taels of silver?" What I thought in my heart, I said it unconsciously. As soon as the words came out, Dong Gouzi regretted it a little, how could he ask such a thing in public. In fact, even if he gave half of the reward, he would be satisfied with fifty taels.
Li Chunjiang smiled and patted Dong Gouzi's shoulder, "Jiye and I are the kind of people who don't talk much, aren't we?" Of course it is given, and it is given truthfully, one hundred taels, no, three people are one hundred and forty taels, and not a penny of silver will reward you less. Thou shalt not only reward thee with all the money, but I will also promote thee. Jiye, take a look, what position is appropriate for Dong Gouzi to promote? ”
Liu Jun glanced at the winter dog who was already speechless with excitement, "Merit must be rewarded, rewards and punishments are clear, this is a must." Winter Gouzi performed well this time, and his record was amazing, and I think he can be promoted to captain. ”
Winter Dog was a little happy that he couldn't find the north, and asked stupidly, "Am I going to change to a hookgunner after Tiwu Chang?" "Captain Cai Wu of their army is now a hookgunner, and he is equipped with rockets. And Team Zhang is always equipped with a flag gun, a long knife and a bow, and the Wu team is always equipped with a bird. Winter dogs have become accustomed to and like birds, and some are reluctant to change weapons.
Liu Jun laughed for a while, "Don't worry, you can continue to use the bird gun when you become a captain." ”
