Chapter 685: Between the Palms
Yan Hong coerced and lured him out, but he saw 10,000 or 20,000 people kneeling down together, and they all shouted: "The old man is above, and the little ones are polite." ”
Yan Hong couldn't help but be happy, that time in Shandong, but only Hai Rui had this treatment, and now he also enjoys the worship of 10,000 people. He raised his hand with one hand: "Soldiers, all fathers and elders, please come up, if you have any grievances, tell me." ”
At that moment, there was a veteran in his fifties who stood up and saluted: "Master Qincha, the younger ones are military households for the imperial court, and they have killed Tartars with a knife and a shot in the side court, and they have also injured many brothers by eating Tartars. But recently, the military salary has been getting slower and slower, and the deductions are so strong that the small ones can't help it. Please also ask the eldest lord to be gracious and give the little ones a way to live. After he finished speaking, the soldiers and family members next to him all kowtowed: "Please be merciful, master!" ”
Yan Hong said: "What is your name?" ”
The veteran said: "The small one is called Lei Ting, and he has also fought in this court for more than 30 years, but fortunately, he never died. But now he is dying of hunger. Big master, what the little one said, if there is half a lie, you divide my five horses, and I have no complaints. ”
Yan Hong glanced at Yang Shun beside him, and saw that the governor's uncle had an earthy face and his lips were clenched. He hurriedly said: "Soldiers, you are fighting against the Tartars in the side court, and this hard work, Long Live Lord naturally knows." Recently, there have been floods and droughts, and there has been a lot of trouble in the white lotus, so the national finances are a little nervous, which has delayed your life. But this time, Long Live Lord sent me here to investigate the lives of the border army, and if there is any arrears, he will naturally think of a solution. Look at the mountains of money and food in this school field. Isn't that for you? You have a great difficulty. You might as well come and tell us. But it would be very wrong to gather a crowd to make noise and come to this school to make a fuss. Lei Ting, you say, isn't that the truth? The 10,000 or 20,000 people here were gathered by you? ”
Lei Ting said urgently: "The eldest master has misunderstood, the little one is just an ordinary captain, where is the reason to gather so many people?" Don't hide it from the old man, today we are inside and outside. Suddenly, a rumor came that it ...... said that the money and goods in this school field were originally allocated by the Lord Banzai to reward our border army, but now there are corrupt officials and corrupt officials who want to fish from it, and they don't divide it. My lord, our border army family is counting on this reward to live, and some of them still owe the debt of the Hades of the standard camp, if this reward is intercepted, it will really cost the life of the family. Everyone was in a hurry. They all came, but no one invited them. Good grace, old man. ”
Yan Hong nodded. He said loudly: "In this case, the official is already here, and the money and goods in this school will naturally not be less than everyone." What a glorious thing it is for you to wait in the important places of the nine borders, defend the border court for the country, and protect the fathers and elders of millions of states and counties from the ravages of the Tartars! Even if you were wronged, Ben Chin Chayuanmen did not forbid you to hand over the complaint. Going to the streets like this is really a loss of the country's system and cannot be done again in the future. Okay, what else are you waiting for? If nothing happens, they will disperse! ”
Those military households and dependents were bustling for a while, and then they all gradually dispersed. Yan Hongzhi and the others were almost gone, and they entered the school field, but they saw that Yu Dayou was still covered in his body, standing in the car formation, and did not move. Yan Hong said loudly: "General Yu, today is majestic. ”
Yu Dayou arched his hand and said: "Yan Qincha, there will be important things in the end, and it is not peaceful tonight, I dare not see the courtesy, please forgive me." ”
Yan Hong said with a smile: "General Yu is strict in governing the army, and he is like a mountain in front of the crowd, and Ben Qin is very impressed. There is no shortage of money and goods for the army in this school field, right? ”
Yu Dayou said: "The last general will assign soldiers to guard them closely, and there is no shortage. ”
Yan Hong nodded and said, "Okay, this reward is very good, and General Yu also knows that it is not trivial." The soldiers and families of the border court all rely on it for the New Year. After you return to Beijing, Ben Qincha will be rewarded. As he spoke, he turned to Yang Shun again: "Uncle, it's funny to make such a fuss tonight." ”
Yang Shun was shocked by this, and his tongue was a little unstraight: "When I go back, I will seriously interrogate, arrest the soldier who is the head, and engage in military law!" ”
Yan Hong said: "Don't, you're making a fuss, I'm just afraid that the mutiny is really going to come out." Uncle, do as I say, go back and hand out the reward, and naturally be safe. Let's do it, tomorrow the little nephew will rest in Xingyuan, and the day after tomorrow, you and Datong and all the civil and military personnel will come to Qinchaxingyuan, and we will discuss this matter of the army. ”
Yang Shun saw Yan Hong say this, how dare he disobey? I had to nod yes. So the two sides parted ways, Yan Hong led the Jinyi guard to return to the governor's mansion, and Yang Shun took the standard camp back to the governor's mansion without mentioning it.
Yan Hong returned to the line, and Sun Yuerong greeted him: "Boss, are you okay here?" I heard from the outside that the border army mutinied today? ”
Yan Hong said with a smile: "Where are there so many rumors, this Datong is a nine-sided town, how can it be said that mutiny is so easy to mutiny?" Moreover, with Yu Dayou's 3,000 Fujian soldiers here, even if there is a real mutiny, Ben Qincha is not afraid. Speaking of which, some border soldiers and their dependents couldn't bear the hardships and came to me to cry poor. ”
Zhang Qingyan said: "Xianggong, I think there is something wrong with this. Listening to the person named Lei Ting today, the rumors have risen in the past two days. So who is spreading the rumors, and for what purpose? I heard Xianggong say that when he was in Jinan Mansion, there were rumors spreading, that is, the White Lotus Sect bandits were instigating it and wanted to start a civil rebellion, so this time, is it necessary to engage in a mutiny? ”
Yan Hong said: "How can there be so many White Lotus Sect disciples. The White Lotus Sect has always been prevalent in Shandong, and Liu Cai and others knocked on the bones and sucked the marrow, and there was a great famine, which led to such an accident. Xuanda is not the end of it. ”
But he looked at Ye Zhengfei and said: "Xiao Xianggong, in Ye's opinion, what Yang Shun did in Xuanda Mansion is not a few points worse than Liu Cai in Shandong." This kind of poisonous people in charge of officials is taken for granted by many people. But even the blood and sweat of the border army are sucked like this, are you really not afraid that the border defense of the country and the DPRK will be ruined in one fell swoop? ”
Yun Chu said: "This thing is to blame here, if it is said that someone sincerely instigated a mutiny, but there are only 120,000 people gathered, and half of them are family members. This kind of rabble, not to mention Yang Shunbiao's battalion, even if it is Yu Dayou's 3,000 Fujian soldiers, it will not be easy to deal with. And today, after the Qin mission went, the matter was calmed down in a few words. If this is the conspiracy of the White Lotus Sect or other bandits, it seems too child's play. ”
Ye Zhengfei said: "It's that Yang Shun, hum, doing so many evil things." Ye really wanted to cut off his dog's head. ”
Yan Hong hurriedly said: "Brother Ye, you have always been upright, I know it, but now that you are wearing a flying fish suit, you must not act recklessly." ”
But he saw Shang Ziqiang and said, "Sir, there is one more thing." At today's feast, my brothers and I patrolled outside the second gate. But he saw that in the courtyard of the governor's palace, there were soldiers in ambush. ”
When Sun Yuerong heard this, she let out an "ah". Yan Hong hurriedly grabbed her hand: "Yuerong, don't be afraid, I'm not here well." Brother Shang, what happened to the ambush of the armor soldiers you mentioned? ”
Shang Ziqiang said: "Yes, at that time, the chief was guarding the courtyard inside, so I flew up to the eaves with a few brothers and ran to inspect. But I saw that in several courtyards, there were soldiers from the Governor's Standard Battalion. Seeing us coming, he hurriedly ducked into the house, but how could it be so easy to avoid the eyes of us and others? ”
Yan Hong hurriedly said: "Since you see soldiers and horses in the courtyard, why don't you come and tell me?" ”
Shang Ziqiang said: "Although there are soldiers and horses in the courtyard, it is not easy to say that it is an ambush for the commander. Moreover, after the subordinates saw this, they arranged for the two brothers to watch from the courtyard wall. If there is really anything wrong with the people in the Governor's Palace, we will immediately clash and go in, capture Yang Shun as a hostage, and protect the governor from the siege, and it will not be difficult to measure it. ”
Zhang Qingyan said: "Speaking of which, when the news of the mutiny came today, we came out, and Yang Shun's standard battalion team also dispatched faster. Datong is not a first-line fortress, his thousands of pacesetters can be fully equipped in a moment, and they can't wait for the rest of the day, right? In my opinion, for today's banquet, Governor Yang is afraid that he has made two preparations. ”
When Yan Hong heard this, he pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "In this way, Yang Shun is afraid that I will learn to run Liu Cai in Shandong, so I will also do it." But this caution is in the wrong place. As long as he doesn't make too much trouble, for the sake of grandpa, he may be tolerant of him. If he wants to play this trick on me, it will be a humiliation for himself. ”
Sun Yuerong hurriedly said: "That's it." In charge, this Yang Shun is so hateful, in my opinion, take him down and give anger to this million border people. (To be continued......)
