Chapter 3: A Worse War
Wang Jiaotou also began to sweat on his forehead at this time, and the big ring-headed knife in his hand had been pulled out, watching the bandits rushing closer and closer, he shouted: "Release!" ”
As his voice fell, the Lin family musketeers who were already extremely nervous couldn't wait to pull the trigger in their hands, and the muskets in their hands all spewed out a puff of white smoke, and the front of the battle was soon filled with white smoke, and at this time, the bandits on the opposite side fell down several people in unison.
Seeing their companions fall, the footsteps of those bandits stopped slightly, but soon a bandit who seemed to be the leader screamed again and continued to rush forward, but this time they changed direction slightly, they did not rush directly towards the Lin family, but rushed towards Huang Peizhi's servants.
Wang Jiaotou on the side saw it, and immediately shouted a few times, and Lin Zhe behind him didn't hear what he said, but soon he could see more than 20 musketeers in front of the Lin family's formation all turned around, and then trotted forward for more than ten steps and stopped, there was another burst of gunshots, and several bandits over there fell.
At this time, those bandits had already rushed to the front of the official army, and some timid officers and soldiers had already turned around and left!
Lin Zhe saw that the official army had not yet started fighting, as if he was about to collapse, and immediately turned his head to the knight beside him and said, "Sue the head of the sect of the king and let them support the official army!" ”
Although the official army looks much worse than the Lin family's private army, it is a friendly army, and it can't be saved without seeing death, besides, if those bandits defeat the official army, I'm afraid that these people will not be any better in the future.
Immediately, a knight beside him rode out of the horse, and soon ran to Wang Jiaotou's side, whispered a few words, and then turned back.
Then Lin Zhe saw Wang Jiaotou and the people continue to turn to the right, and then pounced fiercely on the bandits' flank, the bandits' front was engaged with the official army at this time, and this side was rushed by the Lin family's group, and it was soon crushed.
Huang Peizhi, who was supervising the battle in the back like Lin Zhe, saw the Lin family's men and horses rushing up, especially the leader of the Wang Sect, who was even more brave and rampage, and in a moment he had already stabbed two or three bandits, and Zhang Fei was reincarnated, and he was very brave.
Lin Zhe, who was watching the battle from behind, shook his head more and more, although he was not from the army, and he was not familiar with military formation skills, but even an ordinary person could see that these two armies, oh, no, it was a battle between the three armies, which was simply unsightly.
The officials and soldiers were in a hurry, and several people turned around and ran away, except for Wang Jiaotou and a few henchmen who rushed in front to really fight, the others also didn't know what to do with knives and guns in their hands, and no one dared to step forward, and the bandits on the side were no better than there, and as soon as they engaged in the battle, there were already seven or eight people who turned around and ran away.
Watching them fight again, Lin Zhe sighed deeply: This is a worse battle than anyone!
This small-scale scuffle did not last long, as Wang Jiaotou entered the bandit formation like an overlord in his second life, he basically couldn't find a round of enemies, no, it should be said that no one in the bandits played with him, and when he saw Wang Jiaotou rushing over, everyone took the initiative to run away.
In less than half an hour, the group of bandits was almost gone!
At this time, Huang Peizhi's face on the side was also much better, although half of his men had run away, but the key thing was that the people on the bandits' side ran first, so they didn't finish, and there were still more than 30 officers and soldiers left to proudly announce: They won this battle!
At this time, Lin Zhe also stepped forward with the support of several guards, and first said to Wang Jiaotou: "Thank you for your hard work, go back to the mansion and receive five hundred taels of silver!" ”
Wang Jiaotou's face was excited: "Young Master Xie is rewarded, the little ones will definitely kill them today!" ”
Wang Jiaotou is named Wang Luyun, who was originally a bandit in northern Henan, a very good martial arts, and later was wanted by the government and absconded to the south of the Yangtze River, and finally was recruited by Lin Zhe's father to be the protector of the Lin Mansion, settled down to marry a wife and have children under the protection of the Lin family, and became the head of the Guardian of the Lin Mansion.
Although the Lin Mansion does not treat him badly on weekdays, but the monthly salary is only a few dozen taels of silver, and the silver is still very valuable in these years, it is difficult for ordinary people to earn a few taels of silver a month, let alone five hundred taels, the five hundred taels that Lin Zhe rewarded him are enough to compare to Wang Luyun's income for more than half a year, so he can't help but be excited.
At this time, Lin Zhe pointed to the remaining bandit army outside the Zhuangzi in front of him and shouted to everyone in the Lin Mansion: "The mansion will never be stingy with the rewards for everyone, whoever kills one enemy will be rewarded with ten taels, and those who hurt one enemy will be rewarded with five taels!" ”
At this time, Wang Jiaotou rode his horse to the front of the battle with blood stains all over his body: "Kill, kill and receive the reward!" ”
Subsequently, Wang Jiaotou rushed out with those nurses and Zhuang Ding, and the first ones who ran were those nurses, these nurses ate this bowl of rice, most of them are good, and several of them are bandits, and they are all ruthless people who kill people without blinking in the past.
Now those few people are still at the forefront with Wang Jiaotou, and the more than 20 ordinary guards with muskets are two steps behind, as for those ordinary Zhuang Ding, although they are red and rewarded, few of them dare to really go up and fight, so they can only follow a few steps behind.
In Lin Zhe's eyes, he saw Wang Jiaotou leading people all the way forward, but Wang Jiaotou did not directly lead people to launch a hand-to-hand charge, but stopped a hundred steps away, and then the more than 20 musketeers stepped forward to shoot a row of guns.
After a few rounds of gunning, the bandits fell down several times, so in the next moment, those bandits just ran away, and the first one had the second, and it didn't take long for the remaining nearly 100 bandits to run out, leaving only seven or eight howling bandits on the ground!
The whole process of this battle was boring, boring, and chaotic, even Lin Zhe, who had experienced the war for the first time, did not feel the atmosphere of war!
At this time, he no longer had the nervousness of the first place at all, and Huang Peizhi, the county magistrate on the side, was not panicked at all, but laughed and talked with Lin Zhe.
"It's just a battle, thanks to Lin Zhe's help, otherwise all the people under my command will have to run out!" Huang Peizhi also took a special look at the officials who were still staying by his side, and swore fiercely in his heart: "When you go back, you must ruthlessly rectify these bastards, and you dare to run away in front of the battle!" ”
Lin Zhe smiled: "The old parents have an overreputation, if it weren't for the adults to stabilize their positions on the side, I'm afraid the people under my command wouldn't have found a chance to defeat them!" ”
This kind word is naturally what everyone likes to hear, and he listened to Lin Zhe again: "This time the fortunate Lord personally led the team out, I really don't want to go, wait for the students to be the east, and invite the brothers of the county government to have a big meal!" ”
Then he lowered his voice slightly and said, "When you go back, you will naturally send a hardship fee to the adult!" ”
Huang Peizhi looked straight after hearing this: "How embarrassed is this to let Little Brother Lin break the bank, you treat my eldest brother and me as outsiders too much, this is my job to protect the country and the people!" ”
Lin Zhe didn't disagree after hearing this, he had known Huang Peizhi's greed for a long time, and now he said no, but he would definitely have to give him a generous gift later, otherwise it was estimated that he would have to trouble himself tomorrow.
What's more, Lin Zhe offered to give Huang Peizhi a generous gift, in order not to let Huang Peizhi and a group of officers and soldiers think about the goods in Zhuangzi that they shouldn't have.
Huang Peizhi is certainly greedy, but he can squeeze out a bloody way from countless alternate officials to make up for the real shortage, this person is naturally not stupid, hearing Lin Zhe take the initiative to give a generous gift, and he estimates that the number will not be too small, so with a wave of his hand, he beckoned the officials in front of him and behind him to go back to the city.
Naturally, someone in the Lin Mansion will follow and bring money to invite everyone in the county government to have a big meal, and naturally there will be a housekeeper who will give Huang Peizhi a generous gift.
After Lin Zhe sent Huang Peizhi away, he entered Zhuangzi to deal with the aftermath.
Today, Zhuangzi was besieged, and there were more than 100 bandits who came to attack, and when the bandits besieged Zhuangzi in front, they also caused a small number of casualties to the guards and villagers in Zhuangzi, two people died on the spot, and four or five others were slightly or seriously injured. Later, Lin Zhe led the courtyard in the mansion, the source of the Zhuang Ding and the bandits had another battle, although the whole battle process was ridiculous, from beginning to end, the musket team of the Lin Mansion fought more formally, and then it was all up to Wang Jiaotou and a few bandit-born guards to fight and kill.
But after this period of fighting, one of the unlucky nursing homes died in the fighting, and several other people were injured, but the head of the Wang Sect and the other nursing homes who participated in the most fighting did nothing.
As a result, today's incident caused the Lin family to kill three people and eight others to be injured, although the casualty figure is not as good as a random large-scale armed fight in the countryside in this era, but Lin Zhe can not be taken lightly, and announced on the spot that he will give the victims a pension of fifty taels, and at the same time allow the families of the victims to have school-age children who can make up for the errands in the shops in the house.
The pension is about equivalent to a year's and a half year's salary, which is not very generous, but in these years, you have no pension when you join the army and die in a war, and the Lin Mansion can give the survivors a pension that is already preferential, and more importantly, there is another one: allow the school-age children of the victims' families to make up for the errands in the shops in the house!
This errand does not mean that people are sent into the Lin Mansion to serve people as a small servant, this is the business of a house slave, and it is not the turn of these guys outside to do it, this errand refers specifically to the business affairs of the Lin family outside, that is, the guys in the shop.
Maybe later generations will think that what is an errand for just one fellow? But in fact, for the poor civilian class in this era, it is already a very rare opportunity to enter the big business house as a partner, regardless of the future future, social status and so on, but with such an errand at least to ensure that there is enough to eat.
And being able to eat enough is the lifelong pursuit of countless people in this era!
