Chapter Twenty-Six: Fooling People into Suppressing Bandits
Chapter 26 fools people to suppress bandits
What could it be? On the way to Wei, Yu Feng kept secretly thinking that if the person who didn't pass the word was his father-in-law, and he also believed that the father-in-law had absolutely no intention of harming him, he had the heart to think about not going.
Anyway, how did he come to be the identity of the general banner, others don't know, don't the commanders still know? When he got the general flag, he didn't even see the 100 households in the village, and now, the Shangguan of the Shangguan has crossed a few levels to see him, and it will be strange for a person.
Rao is like this, Yu Feng still brought more than 20 people, even if he was said to be domineering, he couldn't care about it, people's hearts were separated from their stomachs, he couldn't expect all people to be as friendly as the people in Zhaojia Village, according to Zhao Zongqi's description of the combat power in the guard, in case something happened, these 20 or so people would have no problem protecting him to escape with his life.
This commander also took this factor into account, and deliberately summoned Yu Feng to Lingshanwei, who was closer to Zhaojia Village, and said that he was a commander, but in fact, this was just a false title of commanding affairs. Lingshanwei had only one guard in the apocalypse years, and then there were occasional Haikou landings and plundering, in order to pacify the place, a certain bigwig in the army felt that it was necessary to strengthen the strength of the local guard, so the Lingshanwei by the sea was divided into Aoshanwei and Lingshanwei two guards, however, this man and horse were still the original team, but the original hereditary thousand households, added a false title of commanding the affairs, and became the commander, and the original Lingshan Guard's two hundred households, also because of this, the official position also rose, It has become a new thousand households of the two guards of this Lingshan and Aoshan.
The commanding envoy's surname is Tong, called Tong Shan, when Yu Feng rushed to the Aoshan Guardhouse, Tong Shan was talking and laughing with the two thousand households, and the rough signature laughter of the martial artists could be heard from afar.
"I've seen the commander, I've seen a thousand households!" Yu Feng performed a military etiquette. There should be etiquette, there is still to be there, Yu Feng understands this very well, in dealing with people, there is never such a string in his mind.
"Come on, come on, everyone's own people, you're welcome!" This Tong conductor is enthusiastic and good, greeting him, if you don't know people, you still think that Yu Feng and they have been colleagues for many years.
"I don't know what the commander's envoy summoned today, what is the important matter?" This tone is a bit like the words of a general flag and a commander, Tong Shan and the two thousand households glanced at each other, but the smile on their faces did not decrease.
"Lingshanwei has a lot of surplus soldiers, Yu Zongqi heard that some soldiers have been recruited, and he will go back and report a roster, and they are all naturalized!" Commander Tong beckoned everyone to sit down, and there were soldiers behind him who brought tea or something.
"Uh... There is such a thing, I didn't report it to the adults in advance, but Yu was abrupt! Yu Feng seemed a little surprised.
This is pure nonsense, what does it mean that there is no report in advance, if you gather a few poor military households to sell illicit salt, you have to notify the health center, what is the matter? Yu Feng muttered secretly in his heart, but his mouth was a frightened confession, and at the same time, the accident in his heart, not to mention.
This recruit soldiers to eat soldiers, although the officers of the guard have done it, but recruiting hundreds of people and recruiting a few family members, it is a world of difference, this big group of people, always have to eat, always have to get military salaries, since you are a soldier, no matter how tattered your weapons are, you must always be distributed, this is all white money! The generals of the Ming Dynasty, to find a person who does not eat empty salaries, it is more difficult than ascending to the sky, is this Tong commander not waking up today? He actually said such stupid words.
"However, these soldiers, although they are on the roster, can only be regarded as the family members of Yu Zongqi!" Commander Tong's words changed, his eyes stared at Yu Feng, and he actually blinked.
Yu Feng understood the meaning of this, and counted it as his own family, so he had to rely on his own money to support him, and as for the military salary or something, I am afraid it is unreliable. People have given you this convenience, and then expect to allocate some ordnance and food and grass down, it will be unpopular. He is not uncommon with that little military salary, according to the general practice, a hundred households are only three or five families, this general banner, it is good to have a follower, then it is only a few big money. It's an ordnance, and if you can get a little bit of it, he still doesn't dislike it.
It's just that this boy commander suddenly called him over and gave him such a big convenience, he always felt a little strange in his heart, here, is there anything else to say? Yu Feng's mind swirled for a moment: "Could it be that you want money?" ”
Even if he asks for money, as long as it is not too much, Yu Feng plans to admit it, he has not done this act of donating military funds, and he has also donated a tael of silver in Wangjiatai. After all, such a title is too important for him, at least his sons and daughters in the future will be genuine officers and soldiers, and when fighting with those blind smuggler salt dealers, he can also be crowned in the name of "peace thieves and bandits" in the official army.
"That's it, this battle to kill the enemy, you have to rely on your own family members!" A thousand-household gang on the side said: "Our Ming Dynasty's example, seventy percent of the army's salary to support the family, and thirty percent of the army's salary to support the soldiers, is not without reason!" ”
What does this mean? Yu Feng keenly heard it, these thousand households are talking about the topic of marching and fighting, it won't be because he likes my sons, he faintly feels that the other party sold such a big favor to himself, I am afraid that it is not just to get some silver taels from his own hands.
"This is true, listening to these subordinates, this Yu Zongqi is now keeping the party safe!" Tong Shan said happily: "It just so happens that this has been a bit of an eye-opening rout recently, occupying a Zhuangzi, blackmailing the local gentry in all directions, this Lingshan Zhizhou has come to me, we Lingshan Wei can fight, and now the strongest in the limelight is your Yu Zongqi!" ”
Got it, got it! Yu Feng finally knew why this Tong Shan was so kind, and he gave himself such a big favor when he met, daring to love, this is a local request to suppress bandits, this Tong Shan didn't know why he was reluctant to send troops, and instead hit his head with the idea.
It's not impossible to send troops! It's just not that way! Yu Feng's expression changed, a little angry, but he immediately thought of another favorable factor, his subordinates, although they have practiced well, but, except for the beginning, and some salt dealers have fought a few times, in the past few months, almost no big knife soldiers, if this soldier does not see blood, it will not be able to raise that fierce spirit, it is a mule or a horse, it is useless to say it well, you have to pull it out for a walk.
However, this initiative to send troops and being tricked out of the army are two different things, since this Tong Shan first gave a sweet date, and then talked about this matter, it shows that he is still a little jealous of himself, in this case, this bamboo pole sent to the door, then if you don't knock it, you can't help yourself.
The commander laughed, his subordinates recruited a few villagers, some crops, and the armor was not complete, so he couldn't afford to fight at all. This bandit, such a big thing, still needs to be carefully considered! When the time comes, a few of our subordinates who have died are not afraid, but they are afraid of losing the prestige of our guard! Yu Feng spoke eloquently, as if he was thinking a little more about his two superiors.
As soon as Yu Feng said this, he understood that the other party was reaching out for benefits, "the armor is not complete"? It seems that the favor just now is not sold enough.
Before Yu Feng came, he discussed it with two thousand households, and now the guard is so poor that he relies on these military households to farm and get some silver, and it is definitely not possible to pull people out to suppress bandits, and it is definitely not possible to fight or not, and there are immortal people in the war, and the death of a soldier is equivalent to one less person who farms for himself, so this thing is absolutely impossible to do, but if he does not do it, then Lingshan Zhizhou may have to make trouble to the Shandong Political Division, in case the ancestors do not take care of it, even if it reaches the heavens, it is not impossible, and several people discuss itto come up with such an idea. Anyway, this Yu Feng is now nominally an officer of the Thousand Households, so he doesn't have to use it in vain, and he gives his subordinates the status of a soldier, and he doesn't spend a penny of his own money, but it is just a matter of spending some paper and ink and handing it over.
Moreover, forcibly ordering such a thing, a few of them would not do it. How many catties and taels of this residual wind, others don't know, don't they know? Some time ago, they were still muttering, the young men in the guard all ran to Yu Feng, and they didn't have the heart to farm and fish, everyone knew that working in Yu Feng was much better than doing it in the guard.
If you really ignore it and force Yu Feng to send troops and cause the other party's dissatisfaction, then I am afraid it will not be a problem of mutiny among the soldiers in the ordinary army, and they may not even be able to sleep well at night, and everyone knows in their hearts: Don't look at this Yu Feng Si Wen, but he is a fierce master with dozens of lives.
Therefore, seeing that Yu Feng wants benefits, he really can't help but give, but what can he give, he still has a difficulty, no one has more money in his own family, no one has more people, what else can anyone look up to? Looking at the afterglow in front of him, dressed as a general flag, his eyebrows stretched, and he suddenly had an idea.
"Xing Qianhu, the horse hundred households in Zhaojia Village, it's almost time, the old hundred households have worked hard for the country all their lives, and it's time to enjoy the blessings of the Qing Dynasty!" While speaking, he still looked embarrassed: "This is the old man who followed our father to level the White Lotus, when I saw them, I thought of my dead father!" ”
This Xing Qianhu is the Qianhu of Ao Shanwei, and he is also a clever person, and now that the boss says this, if he doesn't understand and doesn't cooperate, then he will really be an official in vain.
"Exactly, the commander makes the adults sympathetic to the people below us, everyone knows that this Zhaojia Village has a lot of affairs, and it is indeed hard for him, people are old, they are a little lacking in energy, Lao Ma has complained several times, the blessing of the general banner, today the adults have such grace, Lao Ma must be grateful!" He glanced at Yu Feng, and then said: "Yu Zongqi is young and promising, and he has great achievements, but he is a good candidate to take over these hundred households!" ”
This is in front of the upper and lower levels, the clear Xu Guan, if Yu Feng obeys this matter and sends troops and comes back victorious, this battle merit will naturally be there, the position of a hundred households, it must be stable and there is no problem, of course, if you even let the bandits fight back, then there is no need to mention this again, you have no ability, you still want to be an official, and you will die! Those who escape back can't do it, you have no military merits, you are promoted, who is convinced!
