Chapter 730: Restoring Order (II)
Burying the dead in the city, registering the damage, punishing the looters, and even offering condolences to the merchants and residents who suffered losses are all tedious but necessary. The two chief officials of the prefecture and county are now fully cooperating with Yang Ji to carry out the work, and the latter has borrowed the tiger skin of the government, and his men have started to work in the name of the government, and the house visit is going very smoothly.
The identity of everything is the first, and the name can be said smoothly, with this identity, in addition to condolences, Yang Ji was also promoted. In any case, the people are afraid of officials after all, and this kind of image of the government and Yang Ji as a family will make it a lot more convenient when doing business in the future. In the past, everyone's understanding of Yang Ji was that this business name was very powerful, and the owner of this business name was very strong, and this business name could talk to so-and-so.
This time, the businessmen and citizens of Ningbo have gradually changed their views on Yang Ji that this business can do things instead of the yamen, so if you have no way to deal with the yamen, can you ask them for help? Or that he can't get through with the yamen, and after he has a good relationship with Yang Ji, will he be able to ease the relationship with the yamen through them?
Moreover, when the bandits were in turmoil, the officials and troops came and were defeated, and it was Yang Ji's guards who really saved these merchants. In the eyes of many businessmen, these guards are saviors, and the chastity of many ladies and ladies is preserved by these guards, and there must be an element of gratitude in their hearts. Then the same business will be given priority to Yang Ji......
This kind of real perception can't be faked, it is based on the public opinion and popular will of Ningbo, and gradually fell to the side of Yang Ji, and even some young people who want to develop want to work in Yang Ji, even if it is to work as a guard, it is reasonable. Many bodyguards from large families also performed well in this Ningbo rebellion, and the main family also agreed to raise salaries and so on. However, they took the initiative to quit their business and went to Yang Ji to apply for a guard, just hoping to be able to enter the government system through this relationship, instead of being a nurse for the rest of their lives.
On the side of the Chamber of Commerce, the surviving members of the Chamber of Commerce, as well as the heirs of the victims' families, organized themselves in the evening of the same day and went to meet Yang Chengzu. Now that the Yamen of Ningbo Prefecture and County has been abolished, the following disaster relief and aftermath have to be discussed with Yang Chengzu. But after searching several times, I couldn't find anyone.
At first, I thought it was deliberately missing, but later I asked a few insiders, only to know that Yang Chengzu was indeed not in Ningbo, but took people to the direction of Yuyao overnight to chase and kill the thieves!
The rain stops and falls, in the evening, the sky is still gloomy, you can't see the starlight, I don't know when it will rain, the dense bonfire, lit in the roadside field, withdraw from the Ningbo's Da Nei family envoy group, mixed with the black shark gang who escaped together, just roast the bonfire in the open air, eat dry food, or find a puddle to drink water.
Most of these people were pirates, born in poverty, and they didn't pay much attention to it, and they were used to the harsh environment. No matter how bad the conditions on land are, they are not as bad as the sea, so it's not a big deal. Compared with this, the survivability of the officers and soldiers is much worse, so they are not afraid that the officers and soldiers will really dare to pursue them.
Some of them were happily singing and dancing around the campfire today, and their companions clapped their hands and cheered for him.
Zong Sheqian Dao and several other leaders, together with Xie Ao, the leader of the Black Shark Gang, and Xie Chang, the eldest son of the Xie family, gathered around the largest bonfire, with a lot of fresh fish roasted on it, and fine wine beside them. In today's battle, it is difficult for the Japanese to say the victory or defeat, the mission of the Hosokawa family was completely slaughtered, and the officials and soldiers in Ningbo were killed.
But then, the Ming army, which came out of nowhere, killed and wounded these Japanese people heavily, and the team of more than 300 people was reduced by nearly one-third, not only withdrew from Ningbo, but also plundered very limited materials. From this point of view, they have lost the battle again. The arquebuses that the main family needed were only six, and there were not many iron armors, and Zong Shiqian looked at Xie Ao's eyes, and he became more and more unfriendly.
He knew that his gang was probably deceived by these Ming people and became victims of their infighting. If you don't make enough contributions, the best result for returning to China is seppuku. As for being a robber in this way, it is impossible for him to do so unless he gives up the whole family that remained in the country.
What they killed this time can be regarded as happy, but the profits they get are very limited, these people are here to pay homage to the great emperor and make money, not the special combat team. No matter how badly the city is destroyed, it will not do them any good.
Xie Ao also knew that he was in a bad mood, but he was not too afraid, to be honest, from the moment these widows picked up the knife, they couldn't turn back. Now that they have been decided, they have to go one way, and they are not allowed to go other ways. Now that the Xie family has settled on these widows, they are not afraid of them turning their faces and cutting people.
No matter how good these people are, they are not accustomed to the water and soil in Daming, people and land are both alive and earth, without the Black Shark Gang to lead the way, and without the gentry like the Xie family to secretly help, it won't be long before they all have to die. What I have to do now is to squeeze out as much of their value as possible before they die, and let them serve the Xie family. These widows also understand their own situation, and no matter how dissatisfied they are, they will not really swing a knife at their side.
"Zong Shijun, it's not a big deal, let's go to Yuyao to hack Song Suqing to death first, and then get a vote. Do you know what kind of place is Yuyao? Haha, I have been out of Shangshu, I have been out of the pavilion, that place is richer than Ningbo, some of the big families are deposited silver, some are beautiful little ladies, and the officers and soldiers are also very weak......"
"If you are referring to officers and soldiers who do not include those who came later, I may have some confidence, otherwise, I don't think those people are weak."
Zong Shiqian glared angrily, lowered his head and drank the sullen wine. Some of the beautiful women they captured had already committed suicide, and some had died of humiliation, and those who were alive were being taken by people in turns, and the voices came one after another, and the noise made him upset.
A scream rang out, a bonfire exploded, and the attack came suddenly. The few widows around the campfire were all looking at their companions who were playing with women, and suddenly they were attacked. Several people were hacked to death without even drawing their knives. The others stood up with a strange scream, drew their knives and fought back, only to see the white shadow dangling, the sword light was swirling, and the two Japanese monsters fell down screaming. The others had just gone up to besiege it, but the white shadow had already retreated into the woods at a rapid pace.
How many times has this been today? Zong Shiqian Dao casually threw away the wine jug in his hand, and this woman, like a resentful ghost, chased after her from behind, and then entangled the team. Her martial arts skills are very high, but it is impossible for one person to really pose a threat to such a team of hundreds of people.
But it's not a matter of killing people like this. And she is extremely skilled, and the sentries on her side have been touched by her, and no one wants to put them on the sentry.
After fighting a few times, except for making sure that the other party was a woman, there was basically no gain. Zong Sheqian Dao was a little upset, he grabbed the bird gun beside him, this time he didn't plan to send someone to search for it like the previous few times, but planned to catch her, and then strip her naked and let people take turns. Let her know that this kind of chivalrous game is not fun at all.
