Chapter 67 Pei County
As a standard force of the late Ming Dynasty, the suppression of bandits is probably the last thing that everyone wants to do, especially at this time, it will delay a lot of things in their own homes, although this year is different from previous years, most of the military households have not done things at home, but have gone to Song Qing's territory to work and make money, but this bandit is not only a mistake in farming, but also a delay in their time to make money, so since the team came out, the military households have been listless on the road, and the queue has gradually dispersed.
Song Qing looked at it for a while, felt that it was not very tasteful, and immediately frowned, this time he not only wanted to kill the father and son of the Xue family, but also wanted to win the battle, otherwise so many people went out to suppress the bandits, but the bandits did not kill a few, and they also died a general banner, which was not good for Wang Chang's reputation.
But now this atmosphere is indeed not suitable for war, if a group of bandits suddenly emerge at this time, I am afraid that they will be able to disperse in a hurry at that time, that is, the first twenty or thirty people who follow themselves can stabilize their positions, and the rest of the people are still too short after all, and it is difficult to take on a big task for a while.
And the soldiers of this era seriously lack a sense of honor, at the beginning of the founding of the country there was a spirit of expelling the Tartars, and now after a long time, the eyes have only known yellow and white things, shouting trumpets have no effect at all, Song Qing pursed his lips, ran to Wang Chang's side to whisper a few words, and after getting an accurate answer, he ran to the front of the queue and shouted: "Listen well, this time the reward for suppressing bandits has been doubled, and the battle is brave, I still have a reward on the side of Bibo Pool, that is, the brothers who were unfortunately martyred, and the bereavement benefits are doubled, so there is nothing to worry about, Those bandits in Pei County also bullied and bullied the common people, for us, it is the silver that the group can walk, and everyone will lift my spirit! ”
Silver is naturally a good thing, I heard that this time I went to catch the silver, and there were rewards from the top and Song Qing, and the faces of all the military households suddenly turned cloudy, and a few of them were confident that they were strong in martial arts, or they simply had problems with their brains, and even laughed stupidly, and Song Qing's cheeks twitched when he saw it, and he wanted to go up and smoke these bastards and big-eared melon seeds.
Fortunately, the mood of the military households is stable, and it can be called the military heart, after walking a short distance, they also sang under the leadership of Ding Kui, although it still does not look like a bandit, but it has a little bit of the meaning of going outing, which is better than the previous wilting head and drooping head.
Pei County is in the north of Xuzhou, to the east a little bit is the mouth of the golden ditch, then Weishan Lake, very close to Shandong, after a river will pass, and then to the northeast to go a little is Zaozhuang, so there are often some bandits who can't get mixed in Shandong come over, get a vote and leave.
In fact, from the perspective of the ability of the officers and soldiers of Pei County, it is actually a very good deal to occupy the mountain here, after all, Pei County is regarded as the thoroughfare of the four provinces, the economy has been good, and there are naturally many merchants who come and go.
The bandits who were going to be exterminated this time were initially active near Jingoukou, but it is said that they had already begun to come south after grabbing a ticket, which made the military households who came to suppress the bandits breathe a sigh of relief, at least they didn't have to walk that far.
Song Qing was also happy, because in this half a day's work, Xue Ping did not feel that this bandit suppression activity was a conspiracy against him, and he had been calling his subordinates, which seemed to be doing a job of buying people's hearts, according to the news that Ding San had just reported, it seemed that Xue Ping wanted to do something with his henchmen after the end of this banditry, Song Qing did not hesitate to report the news to Wang Chang, and saw a faint flash of murder on the face of the Bodhisattva of the hundred households.
When he arrived in the south of Pei County, the master of the county order led a group of porters to greet him outside the city, sent a lot of wine and meat, and greeted Wang Chang on behalf of the county magistrate, but the meaning of the words was obvious.
The so-called bandits are like combs, soldiers are like grates, and officials are like shavings, this sentence has always been well reflected in the Ming Army, and now the officers and soldiers under Wang Baihu are single-minded, even if the Peixian County Commander knows that these people should not commit crimes in their hometowns, but they still have the mind of respecting and staying away, and directly sent people to send wine and meat to the army, and send these military households away as soon as possible, as for those bandits who wandered over, it is said that there are only about 30 people in total, and the county magistrate who lives in the city has never taken them seriously.
After dinner, the team found a nearby village, set up camp at the entrance of the village, frightened the people in the village did not dare to go out for a night, until the next morning, the village chief led a few old people to crawl out, kowtowing and making a fuss, and promised to kill pigs and sheep of the labor army.
But I didn't expect Wang Baihu to be very talkative, as long as they helped prepare some breakfast, there were no other requirements, the village chief and the old people returned to the village suspiciously, and after a while, they beckoned the villagers to get breakfast and come out, and then nervously waited for their fate.
Then, something happened that they couldn't believe anyway, all the military households devoured breakfast, that Wang Baihu really had no other requirements, hurriedly led people to set off immediately, and went straight to the place where the bandits were raging in front, a group of old people rejoiced, and couldn't help but have more concepts of 'Wang Shi' in their hearts.
It's just that they will never know that the reason why Wang Baihu did this is really a last resort, he now needs to use the fastest time to get rid of his subordinate General Banner Xue Ping, and he can't take care of other things for a while, so it is the right thing to hurry to the ground and let Song Qing do it.
After a day's work, the team finally arrived at a village south of Feiyun Bridge, that is, the area where the legendary thieves haunted, the local village chief and the others climbed through and over, respectfully came to visit, Wang Chang roughly inquired about the situation of some bandits, and got the exact news that those robbers totaled more than 30 people, and the last time they came to rob was five days ago, it is estimated that the food should be almost exhausted, I am afraid that they will come to walk again in these days, and the bandit team came at the right time.
After the news was confirmed, Wang Chang also relieved his mind and arranged for the military households to set up camp, and he discussed the so-called battle plan with Song Hu, but they could only be supporting roles this time, Song Qing and Ding Kui, as the protagonists, were in their own tents at the moment, planning their own plans, how to use the nearby terrain, as well as those bandits who were about to die, to kill their beloved boss Xue Zongqi.
Thanks to the beautiful Snow Lotus for the reward, it has been verified that this is a girl! I'm so excited! The new week has begun, I hope you will actively vote for the recommendation, I love you!!
