In Yan Hong's heart, there is another trace of viciousness. Because when Xia Zisu said goodbye the previous time, she taught Yan Hong not to pester her junior sister Zhang Qingyan anymore, saying that Zhang Qingyan had been promised to the young master of the Yang family in Banzhou. How true this is, Yan Hong can't confirm it. However, in his heart, he naturally regarded Zhang Qingyan as a Chinese meal for a long time, how could he let this barbarian who jumped out of nowhere to snatch the forbidden belly with himself? For this, he is not afraid of preparing to give some bad medicine to the Banzhou Yang family now.

And this time, the information that Geng Shaoquan happened to send can be said to provide an excuse for righteousness. As for whether the Yang family really has any changes, who knows what to do, Jin Yiwei is still worried that he can't find evidence? The prohibited weapons that crossed the former Iraq were not found after the worst of the time, and Saddam Hussein was still hanged?

It's just that it's not the time to move the Yang family yet. Now that the imperial court is in the south and the north, the two major disasters are expected to be pacified, and it is time to open the sea and trade and recuperate. At this time, if you provoke a war against Banzhou, it will not do the Ming any good. Therefore, Yan Hong made up his mind to wait for the matter at hand to come to an end, and then go to clean up the Yang family. He deliberately reprimanded Geng Shaoquan, so as not to be heard by the Yang family and cause any trouble.

After taking Geng Shaoquan down, Yan Hong summoned Wu Weizhong, Wang Bidi, Luo Shangzhi, Han Chunting, Zeng Shifang, Jiang An, Yun Chuqi, Ye Zhengfei and others to discuss: "The siege of Xinhe, the victory or defeat is not decided, and we can't sit and wait here. I want to divide a group of men and horses to go to Xinhe to relieve the siege and help the battle, what do you think? ”

Wu Weizhong said: "Qincha, this matter must not be. Now after the mutiny of the Taiyong Battalion, the defense strength of our city is weak. It's already weak. It is counting Zeng Yishi and others. There were less than a thousand soldiers and horses. If the siege is broken again. Taizhou is empty, in case the Japanese invaders come again, it will be difficult to resist, please think twice. ”

Han Chunting also said: "Exactly." Now although Geng Shaoquan has been captured, the Geng family is a local clan, and there are still many Ding Zhuang in the clan, in case they gather to attack the city and rescue the Geng thief. There are not enough troops in my city, and I am afraid that there will be a great danger. ”

Yan Hong said: "Don't worry about this, Geng Shaoquan's clansmen, if you say that you eat meat with him, naturally everyone will be brave, if you say that you will accompany him to be stabbed, how many will there be left?" The people of the Geng family, who are smart now, naturally try to find a way to dissociate themselves from Geng Shaoquan, instead of rushing to attack the state city and send him to death. These people don't have to think about it. As long as Qi Yuanjing wins. Scared to death, the Geng family didn't dare to come to attack my tiger power. ”

Zeng Shifang understood from the sidelines that Xinhe was more than a hundred miles away from here. Slow to say that there are no soldiers in hand now, even if there are tens of thousands of elites in Taizhou, it is difficult to quench the thirst of the near water. Qin Cha's arrangement is actually a gesture, selling good to Qi Jiguang and the Zhejiang soldiers, saying that he will do his best to save their families. As for the effect, it doesn't matter so much. Anyway, even if you bring these thousands of people over, it may not be of any effect.

So he got up and said, "Everyone, the students have a foolish opinion, I don't know whether to talk about it or not?" ”

Yan Hong said: "Zeng Daxia, just talk about it." ”

Zeng Shifang said: "According to the students' opinion, the Xinhe Institute is not only where the family of my Zhejiang soldiers is, but also the family of the old general Qi lives in the city, and there is no reason to save it." It's just that Qin Cha lives in Taizhou, and he dispatches in the middle, just like the Dinghaishen Needle, and it also needs special protection. According to the student's opinion, it is feasible to write a letter and send soldiers from neighboring states and counties to defend Taizhou. In this way, the city can be protected. Then the students, the warriors of various factions in Wenzhou, went to Xinhe to relieve the siege. I don't want to fight for my life, but I also want to see the real chapter with that widow, and I will definitely protect the families of all the Zhejiang soldiers and sons from loss. ”

He has already seen the signs, and naturally he will not let go of this opportunity to brush up on credit and add favor. You must know that he and Geng Shaoquan did some illegal things together, and Geng Shaoquan would not cover it up for him, but he was pressed down by Yan Hong, and he didn't even record half a word, and he had to return this favor. In addition, he will have to mix in Zhejiang Province in the future, and he must also have a good relationship with these Zhejiang soldiers, so that when he arrests smugglers and thieves in the future, he will turn a blind eye. And this new river is an opportunity to fall from the sky, if he can't seize it in time, the rivers and lakes will run away in vain all these years.

As for the situation, what is the situation on the other side of Xinhe? It doesn't matter, people in the rivers and lakes, it's not okay to fight, and it may be okay to slip away. As long as you send someone to find out first, if our army is advantageous, then it will naturally be killed, and the death will be chased to the north. If our army is unfavorable, then what is the difficulty of postponing the advance, waiting for the Japanese to retreat, and reporting a brave enemy to kill the enemy, outnumbered, and break through the encirclement? Anyway, Qin Cha is acting for Qi Jiguang to see, so let's help Qin Cha act in this play.

Wu Weizhong didn't look at the reckless combat effectiveness of this group of rivers and lakes at all, and said in his heart: When you rabble arrive in Xinhe, what use can you do except send them to death? He didn't know the twists and turns in Zeng Shifang's stomach, but he felt that this person was not bad-hearted, but he was a little confused, and he couldn't figure out his catties.

Without waiting for others to speak, Yan Hong nodded and said, "Since this is the case, then there is Lao Zeng in charge." I will make up for the ordnance of all the heroes, bring more firearms, and I will raise a sum of money. Forty Zhejiang soldiers led the way, and 300 local guards and Jianghu heroes organized 300 people to go to Xinhe to relieve the siege. The soldiers are uncertain, the water is impermanent, I don't interfere in the affairs of the battlefield, and I can act cheaply if I am in charge. Fighting and killing the enemy, he has his own reward, no matter what the battle situation is, Zeng Yishi and these horses, Ben Qin is paid according to the Zhejiang army. ”

Zeng Shifang also understood, this was to tell him that when he saw that things were not good, he could run away. didn't ask him to fight his old book, and fight to the death with the widows, this matter is obviously cheap, and there is a salary to take, why not, there is no way to deal with it. Even if the dragon enters the sea, even if he is old and refined, he can't imagine it, and he will lose after all.

Wu Weizhong and others didn't understand what was going on under the table, they only knew that under the premise that Qin Cha had no soldiers in his hands, he still squeezed oil from stones, and squeezed out more than 300 people to go to Xinhe to relieve the siege. These three generals were all greatly moved, no matter what the result was, Yan Qin sent this friend, and our Zhejiang soldiers were settled.

Yan Hong moved a few thousand taels of silver from the treasury of Taizhou Prefecture, paid a military salary to the people and horses of Wenzhou Jianghu and Taizhou Wei, and Wang Bidi ordered three Zhejiang soldiers from the Mandarin Duck Formation plus a few auxiliary soldiers to go to Xinhe. In the city of Taizhou, Linhai Zhixian was martyred, and his own local commendation request was commended, and the Taizhou magistrate temporarily took the post of magistrate and handled the county government. The Taizhou Yongying camp has been disbanded, and the Taizhou Wei took over the Taizhou city defense. Yan Hong invited the wealthy family from Taizhou again and set up a table to suppress the shock.

The former of those rich families originally thought that a catastrophe was coming, and most of them would suffer together, and secretly hated themselves for being slow to run with their family business. Unexpectedly, a mutiny was quickly suppressed, although some villains and scoundrels took the opportunity to rob, but it was not large-scale, and the rich families suffered little losses, but they were all grateful to Qin Cha for their good bullet pressure, and they fought for toasts between the banquets.

Yan Hong waited for the wine to be drunk, and suddenly sighed: "Liegong, although this battle was won, the casualties of our officers and soldiers were not small. Now the war dead have no money to pay for the sacrifice, they don't even have the money to burn and bury, the wounded can't get the money for the decoction, the beheading can't get the reward, and the soldiers have a sense of resentment in their hearts. At night in the camp, the sound of scolding is endless, I once inspected the barracks at night, and when I heard the soldiers talking, they all had the heart to disarm and return to the field. I don't have any money on hand, and the Taizhou treasury is not full, in case the Zhejiang soldiers make trouble, I'm afraid that we won't have a good life at that time, how should this be? ”

As soon as he said this, the rich families also understood that the Qin Cha originally set up a Hongmen banquet, which was to help them pay for it. The gang was guilty of a total at the time. The merchants of the Ming Dynasty enjoy the ultra-low business tax of 30 taxes on weekdays, but they still try their best to evade taxes; The landlords also tried their best to escape from their servitude, and it was better not to pay a son. Although I have just experienced an attempted mutiny, it still hurts a little to make myself pay for it now.

Of course, everyone understood the threat in Qin's words, and most of the so-called disarming and returning to the field of the Zhejiang soldiers were disobedient to the command and wanted to take the lead in mutiny. The combat effectiveness of that army, I have also heard of it, all of them are ordinary characters under the Heavenly Killing Star, more than 100 people have slashed and killed hundreds of brave battalions and real widows, and ruthless people like Geng Shaoquan have all been captured alive, which is indeed not easy to provoke. If they mutinied, I am afraid that they will be even more powerful than the real widows. But these people are soldiers with families, and their families are all in Xinhe, do they dare to mutiny? I heard that forty people were transferred, and there are still more than fifty people left, so what can I do if I mutiny? Not to mention that Yan Hong's reputation in Taizhou is really not good, these people are also afraid that Yan Hong will put all the money in his pocket and will not pay military salaries. Therefore, these people think about it and are always reluctant to dig out the money.

Seeing that these people were all shut up, Yan Hong said with a smile on his face: "Rank, Geng Shaoquan, a thief, not only instigated a mutiny, but also colluded with the Japanese to loot places, buy stolen goods, and the crimes committed are too numerous to mention. But he obviously can't do the business of selling stolen goods alone, who did the stolen goods sell to? And from who exchanged the things that funded the Japanese cowards, this is also to be carefully investigated, if the official finds out the clues, he will not be spared, and he will definitely be raided and destroyed! When the time comes, if you get this money, you may be able to pay the Zhejiang soldiers, and they will not be able to make trouble. ”

When the rich men heard this, their faces became very embarrassed. Finally, a member coughed and said: "The old man of Qincha does not need to be anxious, the little old man is not talented, and he is also a good citizen who has lived in Taizhou for generations." This time, if there are no Zhejiang soldiers to kill the thief, Xiao Lao'er's family business will also be damaged, and those Zhejiang soldiers can be regarded as preserving Xiao Lao'er's family property. The little old man was willing to give two thousand taels of silver as a military salary, and he hoped that the old man would accept it with a smile. ”

Yan Hong shook his head and said, "Outside the old man, what is this about?" This matter of military salaries is naturally a concern of the imperial court, how can the people be allowed to pay? This matter is still up to the official to find a way to solve it, and you don't have to spend money. (To be continued......)
