Chen Xiuchang walked over with a gloomy face, and in the face of the inquiries of the soldiers under him, he nodded and replied: "It shouldn't be wrong, it is impossible for the master of the dog officer to speak in this matter, I think those Haikou must have firearms in their hands." ”

After speaking, Chen Xiuchang looked around.

"Well, things are like this now, what do you think?"

"What do you mean, sir?"

Originally, Chen Xiuchang wanted to see what everyone meant, but now everyone kicked this question back.

However, Chen Xiuchang already had a plan in his heart, so he said to his soldiers: "We have already taken the money, and the thousand taels spent in vain, it is not wrong to think about this." Then after receiving the money, you have to do something, which is also a matter of course. If we take the money and don't do anything, will we have a way out in the future? I think everyone knows this truth. ”

Everyone fell silent and seriously pondered these words.

"The big guy can't let me return all the money, can you?"

"I can't return it, that silver is enough for me and my family to have a fat year."

As soon as Chen Xiuchang's words fell, a soldier responded.

This sentence completely ignited everyone's emotions.

"Yes, if you go back and divide the money, everyone will get a lot. Originally, everyone was about to die of poverty, but now that there is this money, the life of the family can be better, so it can't be repaid. ”

Everyone basically did not agree to return the silver that had already arrived.

Chen Xiuchang raised his hand and asked everyone to stop talking.

"You don't want to pay back, okay! But we have to deal with the pirates in the tavern, and as long as we solve them, we don't have to pay them back. After Chen Xiuchang finished speaking, he continued to speak without waiting for everyone to speak. But everyone should also be aware that the pirates in this tavern have firecrackers in their hands. If there is a fight later, maybe that brother will be injured or lose his life, but I, Chen Xiuchang, can make a guarantee to the brothers here. ”

At this time, everyone looked at Chen Xiuchang intently, waiting for his next words.

"I promise that if there are really injured brothers, then I will take a part of the money to pay for the settling-in family. If a brother unfortunately loses his life because of this, I will also give a sum of money to settle in after the harvest! ”

"It's done!"

"That's it, there are hundreds of households, and the brothers have done it!"

The soldiers could not have imagined that Lord Baihu would actually make such a guarantee.

Know the way. These poor military households can't even open the pot even if they read it, and they are about to celebrate the New Year, but they don't have any money at home to prepare.

Now that they have a chance to make a fortune, how can they let it go.

Unlike those officials, these military families are not lacking in courage and dare to work hard.

Of course, there must be a reason why they are worth working for.

Well, now there's a reason for that.

As long as those pirates are dealt with, then they can go back to the guard to divide the money.

Wait until you have taken the money. They can go home and start shopping for New Year's goods, and then take their families to live a good New Year comfortably.

"Since everyone says so, then let's settle this matter."

Chen Xiuchang is not wordy, even if the decision is finalized.

A thousand taels of silver is not a small amount. How could he, Chen Slender, get a hundred taels of silver.

The remaining nine hundred taels will be distributed to everyone, and the big guys will not say that he is black-hearted.

In fact, Chen Xiuchang's assignment can really be regarded as a hundred households with a conscience in many health centers.

This is also his Chen Slender. If it is a hundred households in other places, one thousand taels of silver can be swallowed by themselves at least nine hundred taels, and the remaining one hundred taels of silver will be distributed to his subordinates.

Meantime. When encountering danger, those hundred households will not have such scruples as Chen Xiuchang.

The status of military households is low, and in the eyes of hundreds of officials, they are not even ants.

Only Chen Xiuchang will treat the military households under his command as human beings.

However, it is precisely because of this relationship that the military households in the guard where he is located will be so users and love him.

After communicating with his subordinates, Chen Xiuchang began to arrange the arrangement and prepared to attack the tavern.

Since these people came to the guard station, the officials who had surrounded the place were relieved, they gave up their positions, let the soldiers of the guard post go up, and they themselves came to the periphery to start maintaining law and order.

In the eyes of these officials, it is better to stay away from the tavern, and it will save them from being injured by mistake when the time comes.

Anyway, if there are some poor soldiers in front, I don't have to take risks.

When the soldiers under Chen Xiuchang's command came, they basically had a rusty iron knife in their hands, and they didn't even have a shield.

But in any case, it is much stronger than the officials who only have a stick of water and fire.

"My lord, we can only attack from the front, but then the pirates who jump over the wall in a hurry will have to fire the firecrackers. Then the person who rushed to the front, it was not good......"

After observing for a while, Chen Xiuchang's subordinates reminded him.

Chen Xiuchang gritted his teeth: "Tell the brothers, if you are willing to take the head, you will have a settlement fee of fifty taels if you die!" Surviving is also fifty taels! ”

There must be brave men under the heavy reward, and under the reward of Chen Xiuchang, there are really four soldiers who stand up.

The four soldiers were all young, and the youngest was fifty years old.

The military household system of the Ming Dynasty is a bit cheating, even if you are eighty years old and can't walk, but as long as the imperial court recruits you, you still have to go into battle with weapons.

Therefore, it is not surprising that in Chen Xiuchang's ranks, soldiers in their fifties and sixties appeared.

On the Liaodong side, even he had seen eighty-two-year-old military households go into battle to fight the Jurchens.

Of course, the combat effectiveness of a soldier of such age can be imagined, and it is simply not possible.

But the court doesn't care about you, a military household is a military household, you go to farm in your spare time, and you have to work hard in wartime. Even if it's unreasonable, you have to accept it.

Looking at the four old military households who stood up, Chen Xiuchang didn't need to ask to know what they meant.

Fifty taels of silver, whether dead or alive, is definitely a lot of money for them.

Know the way. In this era, the annual income of a family of five is only eight or nine taels of silver. This is still a well-off level, and there are almost five or six taels of silver, so that the family can spend a year.

The purchasing power of silver at this time was staggering.

If you use modern exchange rates, it is very unreasonable.

Because there are so many factors and aspects involved.

Therefore, these fifty taels of silver will almost have to be accumulated for five or six or even ten years without eating or drinking. It's like these old military families are getting old anyway, so it's better to fight once and get these silver for their families. It also allows them to live a better life in the future.

Besides, Chen Xiuchang understands all the hundred households, and what he says will not be false. So they all can be trusted, and Zhilu said that he will definitely keep his promise.

"Adults, villains, etc., once there is really an accident, the family will rely on adults."

Among them, the eldest old man from the military household arched his fists with both hands, and then said to Chen Xiu.

Chen Xiuchang nodded with a solemn and serious expression.

"Don't worry, I, Chen Xiuchang, will do what I say, and you will live for you. If something happens to you, the money will be given to your family. The brothers are all here, and everyone testifies that if I can't do this, I will die without a body. ”

The ancients still valued curse swearing.

That's why Chen Xiuchang said so. A few old men in the military household will no longer have anything to worry about.

In addition, Chen Xiuchang's usual behavior is also good, and they all have smiles on their faces.

"Brothers! Let's go first! ”

After saying that, the four old men picked up the knives in their hands, dispersed, and began to walk towards the tavern.

Behind them. A group of soldiers and soldiers also slowly followed behind the four old men.

After all, it is the military household of the guard, and it is really much stronger than the officials. At least they will make some regular postures and movements when attacking.

In the language of modern online games, it's called 'positioning' -

Dividing Line –

"The people outside have started to attack, it looks like the army of the Ming Dynasty."

One of the soldiers in the tavern who had been watching the movement outside noticed the situation, and immediately turned back to warn the people in the room, and then he turned back and aimed his musket at the man who hit the head.

"Shoot the legs! Don't be damned, they're Orientals too! ”

The clerk's words sounded.

Yes, although these Ming people are not from the empire, they are also of the Yanhuang ethnic group, and they also have Yanhuang blood flowing in their bodies. If it weren't for the last resort, they really wouldn't be able to do it.

Psychologically, they have no way to get through.

"These guys are all dead ends, and it looks like we're in for a bad stubble."

One of the soldiers guarding the window smiled bitterly and said without looking back.

"Let's all cheer up, I guess His Highness's side has almost sent troops. So we just need to hold on a little longer, and we must survive for me." ”

These soldiers were all brought out by him, so the clerk didn't want everyone to die here, at the hands of the Ming people.

"Rush!"

As he spoke, the four old men quickened their pace, and when they were close to the gate of the tavern, which was full of clutter, they shouted loudly, and ran with the four of them.

Two of them ran to the door, and the other two rushed to the tavern window.

As soon as the four of them moved, the other soldiers who were hiding behind them also rushed out one after another at this time and began to rush towards the tavern.

It can be seen that the four old men want to use their lives and bodies to push away the clutter obstacles piled up at the door and window of the tavern, so that the brothers behind can rush in.

Bang!

The Gene Man soldier guarding the window pulled the trigger of the musket! (To be continued......)
