"Did you hear that? As soon as those Zhejiang soldiers arrived in Tongzhou, they received grain, and it was all expensive rice! ”

The Tusi soldiers, who had been waiting outside the granary in Tongzhou all day long to receive food, soon heard the news.

"Why! Why don't we dare to buy expensive rice when we spend military money, they can eat it as soon as they arrive! ”

"I miss the rice in my hometown so much, don't talk about rice in Tongzhou, even millet is eaten with sand."

"You're still picking, I haven't eaten enough here."

"Today, the price of grain has risen again, and Tongzhou has suffered disasters in recent years, and it is simply impossible to withstand the fact that more than 3,000 of us have been buying grain."

"The military expenses were used to buy sky-high food, and the original plan to buy winter clothes is probably out of play......"

If some ordinary soldiers and horses were so targeted hungry, I am afraid they would all mutiny.

But they or they are well-known white pole soldiers, loyal to Qin Liangyu, have always been one of the strongest melee infantry in the Ming Dynasty, even if they are hard, they have always endured.

Qin Liangyu has been stabilizing the mood of the soldiers and asking Tongcang for food, but there are too many black hands behind her and Xiong Tingbi, and it is really impossible to prevent it.

One suppressed and the other killed, which naturally made the Tusi soldiers have opinions on the Zhejiang soldiers.

As long as you add another fire, you can create friction and even infighting.

After three days, the mood of the Tusi soldiers began to deteriorate, and it took Qin Liangyu a lot of time to calm down the soldiers. Of course, she knew the seriousness of the problem, on the one hand, she crossed the warehouse and directly asked the military department for food, and on the other hand, she asked Qin Lingduo to contact several generals of the Sichuan army.

But like a stone sinking into the sea, the food is not in place.

"For the time being, it can be suppressed, but if someone secretly fires, some soldiers may act privately."

Wang Hongyu has already figured out what is going on.

The civil officials of Tongzhou and the Northern Army were specially squeezing the Southern Army to promote the internal strife between the two armies.

Looting has also taken place in history. In this way, the robbery should be blamed by this group, so the charges come out.

"That's fine, come and you hit yours, I'll hit mine~"

......

The middle ground of several major military camps in Tongzhou.

Due to the large number of soldiers gathered here, the soldiers certainly had many needs. In addition, Xiong Tingbi won 18 taels of silver a year for them, and not half of them were sent to their hands, but they had purchasing power, so between several large military camps, on the basis of the original small village, a lively big market was formed.

During the day, it is very lively, there is a ten-mile-long market around the intersection of several dirt roads, and a large number of people from the nearby towns and villages also come and go, bustling and rubbing shoulders.

At night, it is even more lively, with more than a dozen original earthen houses and nearly 100 newly built houses, all of which are lit up. If you walk in the meantime, you will hear the call of "come and play" from time to time, as well as the passionate shouts of the sergeants and soldiers in the gambling house.

Wang Hongyu, of course, they came over during the day and took the initiative to disrupt the thief's plan.

It was a good day, as early in the morning as soon as you approached the market, you could see the crowds coming in endlessly. Walking in and seeing, there are already dozens of stalls, in addition to selling grain, salt, vegetables, and jerky, there are also candy pinchers, jugglers, qigong practitioners, broken boulders, and private goods.

Fortunately, it was not too late, Wang Hongyu, Meng Biao and others specially found a large vacant land and directly built the ring.

Meng Biao's 90 people from the Sichuan army worked together, and they set up an extremely wide ring in half an hour.

The ring is 15 steps long and 15 steps wide, and the inside of the ring is covered with sand, and four logs that are one person thick and one zhang long are used as the four corners of the ring. At the edge of the ring is the green grass that has just grown, so you can clearly see the boundaries of the ring.

Wang Hongyu said to Meng Biao: "Officer Meng, you put on three layers of armor and stand in the ring, you don't have to come down today." ”

"Yes!"

Meng Biao already knew the plan, and shouted to his subordinates: "Bring the armor here!" ”

The soldier replied, "What armor do you take?" Cloth armor, hood armor or mountain armor? ”

"Stupid! Can you wear a mountain armor in the ring? That thing is so precious, did it break your repair? Take the armor and cloth armor, wear two layers of light armor inside, wear heavy cloth iron armor outside, the arm is the key, and you need two layers of arm armor. ”

"Yes!"

After a few sticks of incense, Meng Biao, a veteran of the Sichuan Army who was not tall and mighty, wore 3 layers of armor and even two helmets, and he was about to become an iron zongzi.

When he walked to the ring step by step, he almost fainted when he saw the words hanging on the ring.

It turned out that when he was wearing armor, Wang Hongyu asked a few nimble soldiers to climb the pillar and paste a letter.

Clear white paper and black letters, the size is just far and near, you can see clearly, I saw what was written: The heroes of Sichuan are the first hard, and they seek to be hammered in the north and south!

A banner was also pulled with a rope in the middle: eighty sledgehammers, forty small hammers, for ten days in a row, and there was no need to pay for overturning.

With such a wide ring and such high-profile words, a group of people gathered at once.

"First hard?"

"Asking to be hammered? This is the first time I've seen such a request. ”

"Eighty for the sledgehammer, forty for the little hammer? A big sledgehammer costs 80 wen, and a small hammer costs 40 wen. ”

Look at the two hammers in front of the ring, one nearly a man tall and the hammer head the size of a bull's head. There is also a small hammer that is close to the length of an arm's length and the head of the hammer is at least the size of a fist.

"Oh my god, this hammer hit someone too scary."

"What's there to be afraid of? The sledgehammer hit you not you, it was the man. ”

With this sound, everyone quieted down and rushed over, all eyes focused on the "iron zongzi" who slowly walked into the ring.

"I ...... How do you feel like your legs are filled with lead. Meng Biao, who was taking one step at a time, noticed that the eyes of the crowd were focused on him, and his steps became heavier.

There are more and more people around, regardless of whether they are civilians or soldiers, everyone has seen broken boulders, but they have never seen such a person who took the initiative to be hammered.

"It's okay, there are stone pillar white pole soldiers who will come over to cheer, if they go up, they will definitely not work too hard." Meng Biao, who was standing in the ring, secretly observed through the gap in his helmet.

I saw a team of men and women wearing dark blue power suits to the ring.

"Sure enough, I'm not afraid to start heavy." Meng Biao breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sell medicine, sell medicine! Bruises, no luck! ”

"Sell medicine, sell medicine! Shenwei Powerful Pill, the dragon spirit and the tiger are fierce, specializing in treating the lack of qi and blood, and after eating it, a hammer collapses and cracks. ”

The white pole soldiers excitedly took out the wound medicine and the magic medicine and put it on the medicine stall, now that they are so short of money, they must seize the opportunity to do business.

"Hmm...... The white pole soldiers are indeed poor......"

Meng Biao pursed his lips, thinking that it was okay, and he still had his own people to support him, especially Wang Hongyu's brother had the most ideas.

Wait a minute, what about the Wang brothers?

"Sell abduction!"

Wang Hongyu opened a stall next to him, put a pair of crutches, put them on the stall and shouted loudly.
