Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Displaced Want to Eat, and We Must Eat Too!

Yanghe East Road Bingbei Mansion, Wang Bingbei and Guan Liang Tongju, were happily talking.

"Lord Bingbei, I heard the news, Li An's gang is contacting the family and preparing to make a salary!"

Wang Bingbei smiled when he heard this, slapped his thigh, and was overjoyed.

"It's time to fight, it's best to fight to the death, these martial artists are all dead, and we, the civil officials, will have a chance to get ahead!"

The general judge of the grain is also very excited, it stands to reason that as the second-in-command of the military garrison, the local military attache must not be filial piety from time to time, right?

However, the power of these military attaches on the East Road is too deep-rooted, and foreign officials can't interfere in local affairs at all, let alone filial piety, and if they don't take the initiative to find trouble, the military garrison government will be thankful.

At this moment, seeing that the military attachés of the General's Mansion and the local snake were about to merge with each other, the two of them watched the play happily, and they couldn't wait to come forward in person to fan the flames.

"My lord, which of the two sides do you think can win?"

After laughing, Guan Liangtong judged: "I think Lu Fan has a better chance of winning, should we give him a good luck, which can be regarded as a good fate?" After all, he is the main general of the East Road, and he will have to deal with him in the future. ”

Wang Bingbei shook his head, "Forget it! I look at Lu Fan, this person is too murderous, and if one is not done well, this Yang and the city will have to flow like a river of blood." Those, but the official army, even if Lu Fan wins, he will inevitably be punished by the court in the future, let's better mix less!"

Speaking of this, he sneered, "Heh, make trouble~~ Our civil officials are not less intimidated by this thing! It just so happens that with the help of Lu Fan, he also let a group of lawless martial artists know that making trouble is not invincible!"

..........

On the second day after the return of the bandits, after a night's rest, the officers and soldiers from all over the country, who were supposed to return to the cities, did not leave, but were gathered together.

In front of the army, you can see some thousands of households, always shouting impassionedly.

Listen closely, and you can hear some extremely inflammatory words.

"Being a soldier and eating pay is justified!"

"The general has money, and we ask him for money, what's wrong?"

"The general has money to spend on the homeless, why is he reluctant to pay us?"

"Salary!"

"Salary!"

People have a herd mentality, especially the guards and ethical families in various places are constantly leading the rhythm, and almost in a short period of time, in the barracks of thousands of people, the sound of asking for wages is overwhelming, gathering together, like thunder.

Even some soldiers who didn't want to cause trouble, under such encouragement, they also became excited.

The law does not blame the public, even if the generals want to ask for guilt in the future, at most they are looking for trouble for those leaders, and they are small soldiers, what is there to be afraid of?

.......

On May 3 of the first year of Chongzhen, this day is definitely an unforgettable day for the people of Yanghe City.

After a busy spring, the reclamation was finally over, and the people in the city rarely relaxed and began to prepare for the Dragon Boat Festival two days later.

Because of the addition of displaced people, the population of the entire Yanghe City has risen rapidly, even if it is still early in the morning, but the street shops in the entire city have already opened, and the streets are bustling with pedestrians.

"The rebels are coming!"

Yanghe City, at the gate of the East Gate, I don't know who exclaimed, and the next moment, the screams of panic and panic came one after another, sounding from all over the city.

The people turned to see that the streets connecting the city gates, at some point, had been emptied, and a large number of officers and soldiers, armed with weapons and holding banners high, broke into the city.

"Being a soldier and eating pay is justified!"

"The homeless people want to eat, and we want to eat too!"

"Withhold military salaries and lose your conscience!"

One slogan after another sounded in the city, which really caused a commotion among the people.

But the officials and soldiers who were making trouble were honest at first, just shouting slogans and pulling banners to advance towards the city little by little, and did not mean to kill the people, and after the initial panic, the people gradually calmed down.

"It's a bargain, isn't it?"

"It's making trouble, but it's not right, our general is a master of the blue sky, how can he deduct military salary?"

"Yes, yesterday I gave them silver to commend their military merits, and today this group of Qiu Ba came to make trouble, this is too insatiable, right?"

"Hmph, before the general came, these officers and soldiers did not oppress us, I thought we should be honest now, but I didn't expect it to be this kind of virtue!

"I don't know how the general will deal with it, I hope nothing will happen, otherwise the adults will be transferred, how can we keep the land after the wasteland?"

The atmosphere of doubt, worry, and fear spread in the city, and at this time, in the general's mansion, Lu Fan sat on the main seat, and Shen Lian, Yin Cheng and others were looking at each other excitedly.

"My lord, this time the troublemakers are mainly the families of military attaches from all over the country, and they are coerced by some soldiers who have not made military achievements in the suppression of bandits, and the number is about 4,000?" Yin Cheng got up and reported.

"Oh, what about the thousand left, not with them?"

"Most of those 1,000 people have made military achievements in suppressing bandits, and many of them have been promoted. These people, at first, accompanied the army, but when they arrived at the gate of the city, they were stopped by some of the thousands of generals who had been promoted yesterday, and they refused to enter the city no matter how urged by the other officers and soldiers!"

Lu Fan smiled and nodded, "It's not that it's incurable, my brain is not stupid to the end, and I still know whose money it is!"

Speaking of this, his face turned cold, "As for the rest, if you take the official's money, you dare to come to make trouble, and there is no need to keep it!"

"Shen Lian, can the brothers be assembled?"

Shen Lian hurriedly got up and said in a deep voice: "Lord Hui, Lu Jianxing's 1,000 men and horses have been assembled at the south gate, and they can enter the city to quell the rebellion at any time!"

"And Jin Yichuan, a thousand men and horses are also ready to go at the north gate, waiting for orders!"

"As for the rest of the people, they have already been deployed in the General's Mansion and several other important yamen, so rest assured, there will be no accidents!"

Lu Fan nodded, not to mention that there were only 4,000 officers and soldiers in this trouble, even if 5,000 people were all on board, it was not enough for the elite cavalry under his command to kill.

He knows very well how rotten the officers and soldiers of this East Road are.

Bullying the people or something is easy to capture, but in the face of an army that can really fight and charge, and it is also the elite cavalry of Jinyiwei, it is estimated that the collapse will be in an instant, and it is really worthless.

"My lord, Li An's guards and ethics have not personally participated in it, but these guys know how to protect themselves wisely and are very shrewd!" Yin Cheng suddenly spoke.

Lu Fan snorted, "Send people to watch closely, don't let them escape from the East Road while they are in chaos." These people are all fat and oily, and the official is still waiting to squeeze flowers out of them!"
