Yanggu City was burned and looted by strongmen, and someone took the opportunity to open the city gate. However, it was such a coincidence, the family who opened the door was cut down by a strong man and died, and Ximenqing, the commander behind the scenes, was also beheaded. The most important thing is that the native soldier who heard the conversation was seriously injured and died.

Let's put it this way! Without certification, it is Ximenqing colluding with the strongman. Wu Song killed Ximenqing and cut off his head, and there were many people who witnessed it. Therefore, Wu Erlang went to the county government to surrender, but he was still imprisoned and waiting for the verdict.

Master Qiao in this county has a lot of headaches! Ximenqing, the boy who sent money, can't make money if he is gone! Wu Song was promoted by himself again, and he was loyal. does things so ignorant of proportions, and directly kills people.

As the saying goes, murder pays for life, and debts are repaid.

Even if there is a heart to cover up, a big case like murder is still very serious, and the hundreds of lives in Yanggu County are not handled by a small county order at all, and the Yunzhou Mansion will report to the imperial court after investigation.

This case is very troublesome.

Cao Zheng had a headache for this: "Brother, the county commander of this city is a corrupt official. Wu Dutou broke his money bag and fell into a prison cell, how can he be saved? ”

"Just put pressure on it?" Cao Zheng proposed.

"No, I can't come forward, otherwise it will be more serious." Chao Gai thought that the county commander of Bencheng had said good things for Wu Song in the original trajectory, and so did Chen Wenzhao, the governor of Yunzhou. Wu Song killed the two before it was a manslaughter, and he was sentenced to assassination and recharge the army. It is counterproductive to intervene on your own.

"By the way, who is the governor of Honshu?"

"After Zhao Liangdong leaves, his replacement is Chen Wenzhao."

"Chen Wenzhao is a good official, and he will be aware of the case."

When Chao Gai heard Chen Wenzhao's three words, he was even less worried about Wu Song's safety. There is a good official in the government to handle government affairs, and there will be no other changes.

He knew that Wu Song would be fine, but it didn't mean that others knew. Killing people to pay for their lives, in ancient times, it was not just talking, basically one life for one life.

"Brother, don't you save Wudutou?" Cao Zheng was still puzzled.

Huazi and Li Yi were also full of doubts, and they didn't understand what Chao Gai meant. Yu Tai slapped his chest and proved his martial bravery: "Brother, I can only bring thirty or fifty people to the cell and rescue Wu Erlang." ”

"I still believe in my brother's bravery." Chao Gai nodded at the big man, and then looked at the three of them: "This matter is a big problem, and it is not good to use strong influence." Besides, Wu Erlang should have had this experience, and he hasn't woken up yet. ”

The last sentence made everyone a little confused.

Chao Gai knew clearly, in the original trajectory, Wu Song had illusions about the Great Song Dynasty court, and integrated into the officialdom to display what he had learned, but he hit the south wall one after another and broke the bloodstream, and the family was ruined, until he was cornered, he completely woke up, outsiders can't believe it, they can only believe in the steel knife, and kill the people who should be killed.

But right now, Wu Song is willing to surrender when he kills people.

Until this time, this brother still believed in the law and did not think about falling into the grass. How did he know that the county magistrate Qiao knew that the matter was related to Ximenqing, but he deliberately did not mention it, feeling sorry and angry for this murder.

Chao Gai didn't bother to think about it, and asked, "Brother, what are our casualties?" ”

As soon as the topic changed, Cao Zheng, the knife operator, had a gloomy face and a low voice: "Hey, the little brother is incompetent, he lost sixteen people the night before, more than half of the wounded, and killed one hundred and eighty enemies in several surprise attacks, and none of the brothers took half a step back." ”

Despite the impressive results of the convoy, no one was happy.

The news that sixteen brothers have passed away forever is heartbreaking. Everyone looked down, and even Yu Tai didn't bother at this time.

After a long time, Chao Gai opened his mouth and broke the silence: "Brother don't blame yourself, this accident was handled very well, and the object of secret protection was saved." For the martyrs who participated in this battle, the pension was uniformly distributed according to the field army. Those who survive enter the field army, have third-class meritorious service, and are promoted to military rank. ”

"Really? The younger brother thanked the elder brother for all the brothers. Cao Zheng's face showed ecstasy, even if his arm was injured, he had to get up and thank him.

He knew that this standard was very generous!

Since the Chaojia Army has a military division in charge, the team has expanded and become more and more regularized. The military rank system proposed by Chao Gai of the grass platform team has been perfected and implemented. The military rank is low to high, temporarily for non-commissioned officers, captains, ten generals, section ranks, capital heads, battalion commanders, deputy commanders, commanders, a total of eight ranks.

The military ranks from low to high are divided into soldiers, sergeants, lieutenants, colonels, and generals with five ranks and eighteen grades. Soldiers are divided into private, third-class soldier, second-class soldier, first-class soldier, and special soldier. The rank of sergeant, lieutenant, and colonel in the back is divided into three levels.

It will be divided into five levels, which can also be said to be five stars.

Privates, as long as they enter the Chao family army, they are equivalent to having an identity. To put it simply, the recruit eggs, the guards, belong to this ranks.

It doesn't count towards the ranks!

Chao Gai said a word, and the guards who participated in the battle on the eve turned into regular soldiers. If you take a living person into the field army, you will be automatically promoted from the rank to non-commissioned officer, the third rank of non-commissioned officer major. Not only can you give priority to and quickly promote the military, but you can also get three times a month for military salaries, subsidies and so on.

The treatment is very different from before!

This is also where Cao Zheng is excited!

"Hey, that's what they deserve, there are meritorious rewards, there are wrong punishments, go back to the record." Chao Gai hurriedly helped Cao Zheng up and patted him on the shoulder to comfort him.

"The brothers fought bravely and made meritorious contributions, and they will be rewarded when they return to the base camp."

"Brother, it's my duty to sit here." Cao Zheng shook his head.

Du Shi glared at him: "What are you doing with modesty?" The army is disciplined. Meritorious service is recorded and conveyed everywhere, how can you be allowed to shirk the broken rules? ”

Cao Zheng, a man who grew up, was speechless.

Everyone burst into laughter: "Hahaha, brother and sister, sister is right." ”

Cao Zheng was said and hurriedly changed the topic: "Brother, several brothers were seriously injured, with injured eyes or weak hands and feet, and could not stay in the army. ”

Chao Gai thought about it and made a decision: "Then according to the old rules, when the injury is healed, arrange for retirement, respect their wishes and enter the head camp, or transfer to the government service, go to Jeju Island to serve, and the treatment is equivalent to that of the army." ”

Whether it is a large-scale war such as the extermination of Zengtou City, or a small-scale conflict with bandits everywhere. Death or injury is inevitable. Many people are lucky enough to survive, but their bodies are disabled or they are sick.

These veterans will become military officers, or they will specialize in training recruits. Chaojiazhuang set up a public security brigade, a head battalion, etc., and the treatment was no worse than that of the field army. So that these men who left the army can have a secure life and start a family.

It's something that can't be avoided!

Chao Gai thought that there would be frequent tragic battles in the future, and I don't know how many old faces could no longer be seen. The mood was very complicated, but I had to continue to grit my teeth and move forward. Shaking his head and throwing away these thoughts, he looked at Cao Zheng and his wife.

"Brother, I don't know where Wuda and Pan Jinlian are?"

"Just rest in the east ear room, I'll go and invite you." Du Shi is a smart woman who is a good housekeeper, and without waiting for Chao Gai to speak, she turned around and walked out the door.

Chao Gai is still very curious about Wu Dalang, of course, what is more curious is the woman Pan Jinlian. It was said by later generations to be one of the representatives of sluts. Unexpectedly, he had a strong temperament and refreshed his original inherent cognition.

He was in the middle of his emotion, when a voice came from outside the door, and he squeaked open the door, and Du Shi led a young woman and a black chunky man in.

Everyone looked at each other, curious and surprised.

Curious is Wu Dalang, short and dark, less than five feet tall, in his forties, but his face is full of vicissitudes, his temples are white, like a fifty-year-old man. And he was a little timid when he saw so many people in the house.

I was surprised by another woman, dressed plainly but with a stunning feeling. Tall, six feet tall, not fat or thin, with a slender figure. The eyebrows are like willow leaves in early spring, often with rain and hatred; The face is like a peach blossom in March, hiding the amorous moon. The slender waist is na, and the restrained swallow is lazy; The sandalwood mouth is light, seducing the bees and butterflies. The jade looks enchanting and the flowers are interpreted, and the fragrant beauty is beautiful and the jade is fragrant. As soon as he entered, he bowed down to everyone.

Bold and beautiful, it looks down-to-earth and generous.

The key is that the woman's apricot eyes are springy, her face is ruddy, and her appearance is very enchanting!

From the head to the feet, the wind runs down; From the feet to the head, the wind flows upward. On Merry. Such as the pearl in the cement crystal plate; The attitude of the language is like the dawn of the red apricot branches. A smile, every move, all kinds of style.

Chao Gai looked up and down for a moment, then retracted his gaze and sighed in his heart. Born with a charming appearance, thousands of charms, thousands of enchanting, charming and moving, and seducing the soul! Ximenqing glanced at her from a distance, and half of it was crispy, and since then she has been addicted to it, unable to extricate herself, and finally gave her life for it!

Huazi is not bad because of the woman's appearance, and she looks enchanting, and has the potential of a fox spirit. The little face was tense and full of vigilance, and he squinted at Chao Gai and saw that his eyes were clear and he didn't look at the woman much, so he nodded with satisfaction.

Du had obviously mentioned Chao Gai to them.

"The maid's surname is Pan Jinlian, please meet Lord Chao?" The woman looked directly at Chao Gai, who was sitting on the main seat, and the lotus step moved lightly, and she stepped forward to bow again.

"Lord Chao, be gracious, save Erlang!"

Wu Dalang, who was half a step behind, also rushed to Chao Gai's body and fell to his knees: "Heavenly King! You save my brother Erlang, he is so angry that he did a stupid thing. To save his life, I am willing to be a cow ......"

Chao Gai didn't know what to call Pan Jinlian, motioned for Hua Zi to go over to help, and got up to help Wu Dalang: "Da Lang, you don't have to be like this, get up and talk quickly." ”

"Lord Tianwang, my father and mother left early, I am such a brother, woo woo......" Wu Dalang's eyes were red and swollen, tears flowed down his cheeks, and his true feelings were revealed. Seeing Chao Gai, he grabbed his clothes like a savior. Because of his short stature, he almost caught the crotch on the waist side of Chao Gai.

Chao Gai's face twitched a few times, resisting the urge not to kick the other party away.

Wu Da, the eldest of the martial arts family, is called Wu Dalang, a native of Qinghe County, Hebei. When he was a child, his parents died, and he and his younger brother depended on each other for their lives, and they made a career of selling cooking cakes. is a father, a mother, and a brother, and pulls his brother up.

It's just that Wu Song can cause trouble and loves to fight, so he has to wipe his ass every three or five times. Apologize. Some of the money he earned was lost, and Wu Dalang broke his heart for his brother. A year ago, Wu Song injured a bully in Qinghe County and ran away, and the government couldn't catch anyone, but he arrested Wu Da and put him in prison, and suffered a lot of crimes.

Wu Dalang has never blamed his brother, and has always been positive and optimistic.
