Chapter 9: Brawls
When they arrived at the place, the two sides had already made a pot of porridge.
There were more than a dozen people on the lower side, more than 20 people on the more side, men, women and children all participated in the battle, and even the two children of the two families who were seven or eight years old were catching and beating each other.
A large group of people were watching the excitement, watching from afar, watching with relish, and some people commented a few words from time to time.
"Come on, Tian Laohan, punch him twice in the stomach!"
"Oh, that little cub of the Chen family has so much strength, I think the daughter of the Tian family can't beat it!"
"Do you want a stick? I'll throw you a stick here......"
……
Yang Xin's face turned pale, what kind of messy people are these!
"Stop it all for General Ben!"
Yang Xin held a spear in his hand and shouted.
The crowd of people watching melons avoided each other, put away their expressions of watching the play, and the two families looked over one after another, the men stopped beating each other, and only the two pairs of women pulled each other's hair, and they couldn't be separated for a while.
The two seven or eight-year-old children on the ground, the daughter of the Tian family, had already pressed the Chen family's kid under her at this time, and shouted loudly: "Accept it or not?" ”
Tian Laohan had panda eyes, the corners of his mouth were crooked, and when he saw Yang Xin, he immediately cried and walked over, "General, you have to be the master of the villain, this Chen carpenter is too lawless, he said that if there are three people in his family who join the army, they will live in a big room, and there are also three people in our family who have joined the army, and it is the old man I moved in first, why let him live in his house?" ”
Carpenter Chen on the side didn't say a word, his nostrils turned to the sky, and he snorted heavily.
Yang Xin didn't say a word, walked over slowly, first hugged the daughter of the Tian family who was riding on the Chen family's boy, slapped her hard on the buttocks, and scolded: "If you don't learn well at a young age, learn to fight!" ”
The seven or eight-year-old Tian family's daughter was not convinced, and the corners of her mouth rose, but when she saw that Yang Xin was tall and tall, she was not good at attacking, so she snorted and twisted her head to the side.
Yang Xin pointed to Uncle Tian and then to Carpenter Chen.
"You, and you, come over to General Ben!"
Carpenter Chen walked over without saying a word, but he was very free. And Uncle Tian cried as he walked, "General, you have to be the master of my Tian family, whether it is reasonable or not, everyone is watching, old man, I don't have a word of lie!" ”
Yang Xin pointed at Chen Laohan and said, "How are your relatives not at home?" Now General Ben orders you to immediately lead your family, go to each house to order rations, and cook for the whole army! Then tonight I don't care if you sleep in the hallway or in the woodroom, and I won't rob anyone's house again!" ”
Chen Laohan glanced at Yang Xin, but still didn't speak, and didn't move.
Yang Xin pointed at Tian Laohan again, "General Ben orders your family to move out of this room immediately and give the room to the family with the least family in the whole army to settle in!" ”
Tian Laohan cried again when he heard this, and said, "General, this room is our first choice!" ”
Neither family moved.
Yang Xin watched coldly, and said heavily: "If you don't listen to the order, General Ben will immediately drive all your two families out of the barracks, and then go to the street to pull some homeless people to make up the numbers!" You can make a bet to see if General Ben has this right! ”
When the two families heard this, they immediately changed their colors, and joining the army was the only way for these people to live, if there were other ways to live, they would not come over to join the army, after all, there are not many people like Luo Er who are willing to join the army, most of them are homeless people who have no place to live.
Naturally, they didn't dare to bet on this, and they only obediently obeyed orders.
The onlookers applauded, the general mentality of the people who eat melons, as long as someone is unlucky, then there is no reason to be unhappy, anyway, it is not himself who is unlucky, and the general's handling is also fair, and he does not favor either side.
Daniel Zhang hurriedly came over and patted the horse's ass, and said, "The general is mighty, you should give them some color to see, otherwise you don't know who is in charge here!" ”
Yang Xin also thinks that it makes sense, these homeless people are not as obedient and easy to manage as he imagined, if he leaves it alone, I don't know how many more incidents will occur, after thinking about it, he said to Daniel Zhang: "You go and select nine young men who are about the same age as you to be General Ben's personal team, from now on, you will be General Ben's personal guard captain!" ”
There is such an old and capable guy who comes up to pat on the back, no need for nothing, the recruits recruited by this gang are either old men or half-grown children, and there are very few real adult men.
In this agricultural era, adult men are the main labor force, as long as there is land at home, most of them are reluctant to join the army, not to mention that the imperial court has recruited soldiers many times and even arrested strong men, and the adult men among the displaced people do not know how many times they have been searched by the government, and the fourteen or fifteen-year-old half-grown children are not lacking in the army, and they are young and ignorant and easy to manage.
Daniel Zhang was overjoyed when he heard this, the captain of the guard, that is he also promoted? Hurriedly agreed to choose by himself.
Yang Xin is not very angry, they are all homeless people who have no way to live, and they don't look like a family who love each other when they get together, but they bully the weak and bully, which is no different from those rich families.
This time, Yang Xin is determined to manage it well, and the establishment of a pro-soldier team is the first step, find some ignorant half-grown children to be his henchmen, and then find a way to establish the management system of the entire team.
It's just that today is too messy, and a lot of things are difficult to handle.
Yang Xin had to take the princess into the room first, the room had already been searched, even the bronze mirror, candlesticks, and bedding on the bed were also looted, and even half of the clothes, shoes and hats were not left, and there were only some tables, chairs, benches, and a large wooden bed left.
After the two entered, they were staring at each other, at a loss.
At this time, Yang Xin was still barefoot, and his clothes were also tattered.
Yang Xin had to comfort the princess and said: "I have only wronged you for one night, I have already obtained ten silver ringings of silver when I enlisted in the army today, but it is already dark this day, there is looting everywhere outside, it is not safe to go out, I will find a way to buy some bedding and clothes tomorrow and come back." ”
The princess blushed and nodded, the two were in the same room, she was still a little shy and unaccustomed, but this Yang Xin didn't even have a piece of clothing, and it was always difficult to drive him out to sleep, so she had to say nothing about being in the same room at night, and changed the topic and said: "Brother Yang, do you have a plan to escape from here?" ”
Yang Xin sighed: "If we want to go to Nanjing safely, one is to have enough travel expenses and equipment, such as shoes, horses, etc., we have ten taels of silver is definitely not enough, the most difficult thing is that there are many thieves along the way, we need a certain amount of force to protect ourselves, just the two of us to run away, it is too dangerous." ”
Although Yang Xin was a traverser, he didn't dare to hold it up, and he took the princess through thousands of miles of chaotic war zones alone, and he didn't have the courage to take risks.
The princess was in a hurry to flee, but when she heard him say this, she was also timid, and suddenly became melancholy again.
