Chapter 521 Taizhou Yihe
Qi Jiguang was overjoyed when he heard this, and the other party seemed to be willing to support himself; Second, to expand the new army and go north to destroy the Tartars, it is Qi Jiguang's hidden ambition in his heart. If in his lifetime, he will have no regrets in this life, and he will be right about his own art industry. At that moment, he arched his hand and said: "If this matter can be done, I will arrest all the princesses and Tartar orchids and honor the little minister." β
Yan Hong smiled when he heard this: "Brother said less." In the opinion of this official, when your brother sits at the border, don't forget to buy a few more gentle and lovely Western women and send them to my house, then I will accept your favor. β
These commanders talked and joked, and made some meat jokes, and the soldiers below also had a bottom in their hearts. Yan Hongyue put on a good show, but made the soldiers believe that this Qincha is indeed a powerful person, follow him, win the reward and bereavement, and no one in the court will dare to deduct it; Even if he is defeated, he will take the blame, so as not to make his own bitter brothers unlucky.
There are also those Jinyi guards who came with the Beijing division, and they talked about how the Qincha was interesting in the team, with wide hands, taking care of the soldiers, thinking that when they were in Jinan, hundreds of thousands of taels of silver were scattered, and their eyebrows did not wrinkle. This army, composed of simple and honest miners, had never seen hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in their lives, and when they heard this number, everyone rejoiced in their hearts, their confidence doubled, and they even walked much more briskly.
Yan Hong even promised that when he arrived in Taizhou, he would be paid a month's military salary as a reward. He also remembered that the former was in Jinan, and the bandit horse team of Zuo Shenlei suffered a loss because of the matter of grabbing the first rank, so he ordered the officers and soldiers not to be busy grabbing the first rank, and to take the war as the most important thing. The first level of the matter, to figure it out by yourself.
Qi Jiguang listened and said with a smile: "Xiqing rest assured. Qi also thought about the disadvantages of snatching the head that day. For example, if someone is killed by a shotgun, how do you count it? In addition, sometimes an enemy is often killed by several people in unison, and it is impossible to distinguish between them, which is more likely to cause everyone to compete for the first rank and delay the military plane. Therefore, the lower officials set up a containment team to clean up the battlefield after the war. They are responsible for cutting the ranks, so that everyone will not be hit by the enemy's return pistol in order to take the head. Win the battle and lose the battle. The subordinate officials agreed that all the heads in front of the battle would be rewarded by the whole army in proportion. For example, ten heads, six stormtroopers. Two guns. Cut the head and camp one, and return to the camp before the formation is equally divided. If there is a fight for the first rank, the first rank will be the official, and the person who is fighting for the loss will be beheaded, and the official flags, teams, and hundred generals will sit together, and the general will also be guilty. β
Yan Hong saw that what he thought of, the other party had already thought of it, and he was even more pleased at the moment. And Yun Chuqi and Ye Zhengfei sometimes discussed with Qi Jiguang the rules of using soldiers and firearms. Qi Jiguang knew that although the two of them were only Jinyi Wei Xiaoqi. However, he is Yan Hong's confidant, how dare he slack off? The three of them talked about the art of war and the essentials of ordnance. They get along quite well and appreciate each other very much. Yun Chuqi privately praised Yan Hong: "This Qi general's method of using soldiers is really difficult to reach!" Yan Hong thought to himself, aren't you talking nonsense.
When the army arrived at the boundary of Taizhou Fucheng, there was a scout report, saying that Ye Guochen, the prefect of Taizhou, personally led a group of civil and military personnel from Taizhou to go out of the city for ten miles to greet him. Yan Hong thought that this prefect was also interesting, so he urged the military horse to continue to move forward. After another journey, I saw that at the reception office, civil and military attachΓ©s of all sizes respectfully greeted him. After a few brief greetings between the two sides, Ye Guochen said: "The lower officials have prepared a banquet in the yamen to wash the dust for the Qin mission. In addition, the wealthy families of Taizhou offered pigs, sheep, and wine for the use of the labor army. β
The visiting army of the Ming Dynasty came from afar, because they were away from their hometowns to fight, they were very emotional, and their behavior was the most arrogant, which often disturbed the local government. Before Yan Hong came, the prefect Ye Guochen listened to Geng Shaoquan's introduction, saying that Yan Hong was misbehaving in Hangzhou, and after getting drunk, he rode around the city on horseback, and took a fancy to which woman, entered the house, and forcibly rude. If there is an obstacle from the family, his own soldiers will come forward and beat him, and then he will be a thief and taken to prison, which is the rich family, the noble lady of the scholarly family, and the daughter, and there are many victims.
He also said that Yan Hong was greedy and greedy, and whenever he heard that someone had antiques, he went to borrow them to play with them, but he had always borrowed them but did not pay them back, and he was called a thief of Hades. Therefore, it is suggested that the Ye Governor's Mansion should strictly prohibit marriage in this mansion, gather all the unmarried girls, and prepare to serve Yan Qincha.
Ye Guochen listened to these behaviors, although he always felt that it was a bit like Geng Shaoquan's favorite tricks, and he was inevitably suspected of Zhang Guan Li Dai, but Geng Shaoquan was a luxury figure on the ground, his hands and eyes were all over the sky, and he was familiar with black and white friendships, and the news was far better than his own prefect, and he didn't dare not believe it. Perhaps, the villains in this world are all ordinary evil laws, and there are also some of them.
However, although Governor Ye has no talent, there are still some scholars with the decency, and he can't do this kind of thing by forbidding marriage in the whole city. On the contrary, he sent officials to mobilize the people, and if there was a marriage contract, the marriage should be completed as soon as possible, so as not to make a mistake. The people of this era have rich experience in the struggle against the draft girls of the imperial court, so after hearing the news, they are in full swing to manage the marriage. Before Yan Hong arrived, there were a few jokes about getting on the sedan chair by mistake and messing around with the mandarin duck score.
It's just such a toss, and the name of Little Yama is stinky in Taizhou. Everyone knows that there is a bullie who is mischievous, and everyone is in danger. There was a local showman who wanted to put up a broken boot formation, but Geng Shaoquan sent someone to spread the word that Hangzhou was setting up a broken boot formation, but as soon as Yan Hong arrived, he first shot and killed six of them, and then changed the fame of more than 20 Xiucai. Although we have had a hard bone like Fang Xiaoru in Taizhou, it is enough to have one such person. You Maocai Gong, don't follow his example and rush to death.
These words frightened these talents, so that they didn't dare to send them to the tiger's mouth at will, but just scolded Yan Hong behind their backs. Ye Guochen was only afraid that Qin Cha would make something happen on his ground, and he would be ashamed of his fathers and elders, so he prepared a first-class banquet in the yamen, and raised money from the rich to raise military salaries and rewards.
Yan Hong thought that it would take a little effort to get the other party to take out the money, but he didn't expect the other party to give the money happily, and the advance payment of these Zhejiang soldiers did not encounter pressure, and his heart was very happy. It's just that for some reason, the other party always looks at him a little strangely. When I arrived at the back hall of the prefect's yamen, I saw more than a dozen warblers and swallows, and the women with flowers and branches were already waiting there, accompanying the banquet.
Qi Jiguang didn't care about this occasion, and soon flirted with the two fans, and they were very affectionate. Ye Guochen said: "Xiqing." My Taizhou is poor and widowed, the people are fierce, and the women are ugly. It's hard to find a beautie. The lower officials tried their best to search for beauties in a mansion, all of which was here, and hoped that Xiqing would enjoy it to the fullest, and the folk women did not know the etiquette, and they were afraid of a collision, and they also hoped that Qin Chaping would have less contact with them. β
Yan Hong listened to the meaning of the other party's words. is afraid that he will not have anything to do to provoke a woman from a good family. He was secretly angry in his heart, thinking that my little king of Hades is greedy and lustful, but he can't commit it to robbing the people's daughter like you. What are you smearing me with? He said, "The old lady is too worried. This official came to Taizhou this time to beg for thieves for the country and sweep away the widows, how could he be greedy for beauty? Again. I am also a dignified court official. You won't do anything that hurts the dignity of the court, what are you afraid of? β
This Ye Guochen is famous for his soft temperament, how dare he dare to go to the hard top when he listens to the little king of Yama like this, but he keeps saying: "The lower official loses his mouth, the lower official loses his mouth." β
Geng Shaoquan said on the side: "Master Qincha, our old lady is also kind-hearted, and we will find a few handsome young ladies to accompany Qincha to warm the bed." If he is not satisfied. Say it, and let's find something else. But why be so unkind. β
Yan Hong saw that this guy spoke harshly, and faintly put the hat of robbing the people's girl on his head. He is used to insurance sales, and after entering the Ming Dynasty, he handled these big cases, and he can still see what kind of heart the person on the other side has when he speaks. This meaty warrior is most likely secretly malicious. Yan Hong didn't say anything about him, but only asked: "Who is Er, Ben Qin sent to talk to the prefect, and asked you to interject?" β
Ye Guochen hurriedly said: "Back to the eldest lord of Qincha, this person is the leader of the righteous people of Linhai County in this prefecture, and Geng Shaoquan, the leader of the Geng clan. He was born in the 28th year of Jiajing's martial arts, and he made meritorious contributions in Jiajing's 30th year of resistance against the Japanese. Later, he scattered his wealth to recruit volunteers to protect the territory and fight against the Japanese. Later, after Baoju, he added the rank of 1,000 households, and presided over the regimental training in this mansion, and now Taizhou Yongying is all in charge of him. β
Yan Hong nodded and said, "I see, Ye Taishou is the benefactor of Geng Qianhu, no wonder he wants to protect your old age." β
Ye Guochen said with a smile: "Xiqing said that he was joking. Geng Dalang, a person who practices martial arts, is not good at words. It's just that my Taizhou is really poor and weak, and the financial resources are scarce, so it is really difficult to support the Qin Mission. β
Yan Hong saw that Geng Shaoquansheng was tall and had a fierce face, although he was wearing an official uniform, he looked like a bandit. The martial arts of the Ming Dynasty are not as valuable as the Wenju, and there is no concept of martial arts in this era, only Ji Nuli has a martial champion. The status of Wuju people is very different from that of Wen Xiucai, and it is really not a status. And this guy's thousand-household title is added, that is, a false title, there is no actual award, in terms of status, it is much inferior to the scholars and prisoners, and in his own eyes, he is like an ant.
But speaking of which, there are commanders and other military attachΓ©s in the local area, and these people seem to respect this surnamed Geng, and he can't help but secretly have some doubts, what is the origin of this reckless man? So by eating and drinking, he secretly instructed Jiang'an to say a few words, and the thousands of households were fine and nodded slightly.
When the banquet dispersed, Yan Hong first dismissed the fans and returned to the bedroom. Several people sat down when they saw the guest of honor, and Yan Hong said: "Le Baizai, do you know what I asked you to ask?" β
Le Jin said: "I am humble and foolish, I really don't know, and I hope that the chief will make it clear." β
Yan Hong said: "Geng Shaoquan is very famous in your Taizhou? β
Le Jin saw that Yan Hong asked about Geng Shaoquan, and he didn't hide it, and said it one by one. This Geng Shaoquan is a native of Geng Village, Linhai County, his family is quite wealthy, he is good at martial arts since he was a child, his fists and feet are very good, his personality is rough, and he is brave and ruthless. Later, there was a life lawsuit in his hometown, so he escaped from Lu, but he didn't know what nobles he met, and after returning to his hometown a few years later, his family life was even more prosperous, and that life was also dredged up and down by someone to help him dredge up and down, and eliminate the case record.
He became an innocent citizen, and he went to take the martial arts exam, and he was a martial artist, and he was considered famous on his head. Since then, the Geng family's business has flourished, and he has opened workshops, dart games, and martial arts halls, and the Geng clan has respected him as a leader. When the former was invaded by the Japanese invaders, he took the lead in recruiting village warriors in Geng Village to build swords and guns, saying that he wanted to fight against the Japanese invaders. As for how many battles he fought with the Japanese Invaders, others didn't know the details, but inexplicably there were three real Japanese heads. At that time, the imperial court rewarded the true widow very heavily, and cut off three heads, which was a great merit.
The Geng family has a great power in the local area, and there are many clansmen, and most of them are brave and ruthless people. Now that Geng Shaoquan has won the official position and made meritorious contributions, his local power has risen in a straight line. The local guard is partial and erosive, if it fights, it is not the opponent of the Geng clan at all, not to mention relying on Geng Shaoquan to preside over the group training. Therefore, the commander of Taizhou and all the subordinate officials are also Uncle Geng, and Uncle Geng is short to respect this five-grade name of thousands of households. In Taizhou, this phenomenon of local tyrants overriding the government has been formed. (To be continued......)
