Chapter 353: Master, Woe to You
Shandong Tianwang's confidant for many years has been his own Lai Yong, and Liu San has violated military regulations. A series of vicious incidents such as bullying and oppression of the people, extortion and extortion were discovered, the sentence was pronounced and beheaded for public display, and the head was hung at the gate to warn the three armies.
As soon as the news spread, it caused a huge sensation.
The victims of Chaojiazhuang rushed to tell each other and were happy. Whether it is the self-employed owners of restaurants and shops, or the small stall vendors who are usually oppressed and exploited, or the ordinary peasant households, the caravans, the people are talking about it, and they are driven by curiosity to rush to the barracks.
More than thirty bloody human heads hung from the gate.
Not only did the soldiers read out the trial process over and over again, but also the victims identified Lai Yong and Liu San. When the news was confirmed, the crowd exploded completely. Streets and alleys, restaurants, tea shops, and even villages, market towns. The most lively topic is Chao Tianwang's righteous killing of relatives, killing if he says killing, and returning justice to the people. As long as this is mentioned, which one is not a thumbs up? The prestige of Shandong Tianwang Chao Gai has virtually climbed to a new high again.
And that's what ordinary people can know.
Relatives in the army or people of a slight position are informed. Chao Gai was implicated by two henchmen, and was punished in public and received forty military sticks.
Jeju Governor Jang Shu packed his things at night and prepared to return to Jeju City with his family. Hearing this amazing news, I specially brought my wife and son to visit. When I saw Chao Gai lying on the bed humming, his back was swollen.
This virtuous minister of the Northern Song Dynasty was touched, and he didn't know which tendon was wrong. not only shush the cold and ask for warmth, but also sighed when he learned about the specific situation, but also pulled down his old face to seek an errand for his eldest son Zhang Bofen to find a job in the army.
Chao Gai didn't understand what medicine was sold in this old boy's gourd, but he knew that Lao Zhang's two sons still had the ability, so he agreed. In the name of the Jeju army, Zhang Bofen was hired as the Sima of the forbidden military camp. also promised that when Zhang Zhongxiong became an adult, he would also serve in the army if he was willing.
Uncle Zhang left at night, the one who was very happy!
Zhang Bofen followed back to Jeju City to pack up his things, and he will come to work soon.
Chao Gai didn't know if this was a good thing or a bad thing, so he could only take one step at a time. Moreover, the forbidden army of six battalions was, at best, a supernumerary force.
In the future, if the strong man breaks his wrist, then he will give it up directly!
Li Qingzhao kneaded Chao Gai's back and applied Jinchuang medicine, and said very unhappily: "You said that you are a dignified leader, what do you rely on to lead by example to buy people's hearts?" ”
..“ Like, I wonder if you deliberately got beaten to avoid turning in your homework? Li Qingwan cut the melon and quickly handed it over with a toothpick.
"Husband, do you think so?" Master Li immediately stuck over.
Hu Sanniang, Huazi, and the three daughters of Yelu Tali had a smile on their faces, and their faces were not good: "Husband, your behavior today is very suspicious. ”
"Yes, you just became a groom and were humming on your bed two days ago. I'm calculating that I'm going to recuperate for at least a few days, is it trying to be lazy? ”
Chao Gai looked at the ladies with a helpless and incredulous gaze: "You guys are full of filthy brains, taking the opportunity to rectify the army, where do you want to go?" ”
"What? Who do you say is dirty? ”
"Chao Gai, you old and unserious still talk about us?"
"Are you guts? Looks like you're okay with forty sticks! ”
Li Qingwan, Hu Sanniang, Huazi glared at a disagreement, pointed to Chao Gai and counted, seven dissatisfied, eight were not angry, one hundred and twenty were unwilling, Li Qingzhao, Li Shishi, and Yelu Tali were smiling and silent.
"Hey, married life, dark daylight." Chao Gai lay on the bed and watched, the melon in his hand stiffened in mid-air, and only sighed sadly after a long time.
Of course, this is just his feeling that he is in the midst of happiness and does not know the blessing.
Since being implicated and receiving forty military sticks, he has been recuperating at home. Under the careful care of several ladies, and the secret gold medicine prepared by the divine doctor An Daoquan, after three or two days of cultivation, the stick sores have almost healed.
Even Xiao Zhong Kui Chaoqiang, Youshang Shuzu Shiyuan, and the two of them were injured well. Jumping all the way, they came together to meet Chao Gai's entire army.
The garrison of the Fifth Army was expanded from 3,000 to 5,000 men, and Li Rong was transferred back from Jinling. The soldiers of the ten battalions took turns guarding important places such as Chao Mansion, City Lord's Mansion, and Granary.
Not only the garrison Fifth Army was reorganized, but several other armies were also changed. In addition to the expansion of the army in numbers, there are gradually clear goals. For example, the death army of the black whirlwind Li Kui also has two more battalions of 1,000 people.
The first and second armies of the cavalry, fully armed, ready to go out at any time.
The garrison army was reorganized for battle, and the three armies of water, infantry, and horse were also reorganized internally. Strictly investigate and deal with all kinds of illegal incidents such as corruption and bribery, and oppression of the people. Including the three armies sitting in several Dazhai, they are also self-correcting and self-examining.
Chao Gai's punishment was too shocking and touching, and no one dared to disobey it!
In addition, the atmosphere of war permeated the interior and exterior of Chaojiazhuang.
It is not only the Jinsha River military wharf that has frequent drills and is preparing to go deep into the water to fight. There is also the news that Lingzhou Zengtou City openly robbed the northern caravan. It was to congratulate King Chao on his newlywed cattle, sheep and horses, which were robbed.
There is no need to deliberately publicize it at all, the people around Chaojiazhuang are furious. In the past few days, the number of people who have taken the initiative to join the army has increased dramatically, and they have threatened to exterminate Zengtou City. There were even people who had fled there who talked about the past, and the atmosphere of the battle was high.
After the wedding, other officials in the state gradually returned.
Only the beautiful bearded man Zhu Tong and the winged tiger Lei Heng volunteered to stay.
It's just that Chao Gai has been waiting, waiting for the return of the person sent to negotiate. After all, if you pay attention to doing things, you must stand on the commanding heights of morality.
He wanted to move Zengtou City, so he did not recklessly send troops to find fault with him, but saluted first and then soldiers, and sent people to negotiate in the name of the Jeju government. If the other party is tough, it is better, if the horse is returned, continue to ask for compensation to find fault.
In short, it's to mess with each other!
The stick was almost recuperated, and Chao Gai became vigorous again, and specially summoned Yelu Zongyun, Yelu Zongdian, and Baomi Sheng to learn more.
A ^_^ good herd of good horses attracts the prying eyes of others.
The group of Jurchens in Zengtou City were greedy and arrogant. Not only did he snatch the horse, but he also injured the secret saint who went to the theory, and Chao Gai was stabbed in the thigh by Shi Wengong.
Yelu Zongyun slapped his horse and fought many times, and the confrontation between the two armies delayed time. The brothers said that the war horse was sent to Jeju, Shandong to congratulate King Chao on his wedding.
It's a pity that the name is not good.
The birdmen of Zengtou City still dare to snatch the horses, saying that the king of Shandong is a very wild talk.
In an underground vault.
After Chao Gai asked the person concerned to understand the situation again, he couldn't stop the murderous intent in his eyes: "Hmph, I really don't know whether to live or die, I hope they don't return the horses." ”
"Be prepared." Yelu Zongyun is the oldest and thinks a lot.
Yelu Zongdian was angry when he talked about this: "Hey, there is a hard stubble in Zengtou City, which is very powerful. Thirty rounds wounded the commander-in-chief. Fortunately, the eldest brother rescued him in time, and fought with the other party for fifty rounds many times, regardless of victory or defeat,"
"That person is Shi Wengong, don't worry, our people are not so easy to bully." Chao Gai thought of the teacher in Zengtou City, and his eyes became gloomy. Shi Wengong, a Han man, took refuge in a foreign race and bullied his compatriots, which is a bit bad.
Yelu Tali Bingxue was smart, and while filling his brother with tea, he asked, "Two brothers, do you have anything else to do here?" ”
"There is a war on the border, the retreat is being defeated, the grain and grass are tight, and my father has told me to buy grain." Yelu Zongyun did not hide it, and after being silent, he said his difficulties.
Yelu Zongdian glanced at his sister, and his eyes fell on Chao Gai: "As long as the Heavenly King can provide grain and grass, you can exchange cattle and sheep for war horses." ”
Is there a shortage of food in Liao?
Chao Gai was stunned for a moment, and then he was relieved. Liao is a vast country with a sparsely populated area, and has lost large tracts of land one after another, and grain output has dropped sharply, and it is normal for there to be a shortage of grain. Always eat beef and mutton, it must be unevenly nutritious, and there are many diseases.
Seeing Chao Gai's silence, Yelu Tari gently called her husband to remind him.
"The two brothers-in-law can rest assured that grain can be traded on a large scale, and there will be specific people to discuss with you. One million stones, two million stones or even more. Chao Gai rubbed his chin and thought for a moment, smiling and reassuring.
There was no shortage of grain in the Great Song Dynasty, and the key was that there could be no profiteers hoarding grain for sale. In the imperial court, it can be seen that there is a lot of grain mold every year.
"Really, that's great." Chao Gai's assurance surprised Yelu Zongyun and Yelu Zongdian a little, he didn't expect that there would be food but there wasn't so much.
"Of course it's true." Chao Gai smiled.
It was also at this time that the iron ledger Chao Fu came to report with an ugly face: "Master, master, disaster has happened, the people we sent to Lingzhou have been beaten." ”
"It's got to be those guys!" Yelu Zongyun, Yelu Zongdian got up angrily.
Lao Tzu's chance has come!
Chao Gai was stunned for a moment, and then laughed very hideously!
