Chapter 24: Liwei

Yu Shengliang was pressed into the cabin by several guards and cried.

Yu San has already made Yu Shengliang a long-term follower for more than 20 years. When the guards sent to Ansai County to inquire about the news reported the bandit to the master, Yu San stood by and waited. Yu prefect convened a meeting of officials, Yu San was not idle, and called the captain's personal guard Li Yaobiu to mutter, Li Yaobiu kept nodding yes, and then sent a few capable brothers to secretly detain a few civilian boats, and then everyone changed into civilian clothes and waited on the shore. Hearing the shouts outside, the people in the mansion who had been prepared for a long time couldn't help but say that Yu Shengliang ran to the boat after leaving the back door of the mansion, and when Guan Shengyun sat on the prefect's Taishi chair, several small boats had already rowed ten miles away on the Yan River.

Yu Shengliang was stopped by everyone when he wanted to commit suicide by throwing himself into the water several times, and the strength of the old man to kick and beat when he was struggling was really not small, and one of the guards was actually bitten hard by the adult who had lost a few teeth early, covering his arm and grinning in pain. Seeing that Master Yu tossed himself into prostration, the exhausted people still didn't dare to take it lightly, forced him in the cabin, and looked at him all around to see him lying on the deck crying in horror.

Where did the boatman dare to slack off, hundreds of miles of waterway down the river, before nightfall, everyone carried the old man who was exhausted by his own toss into Yanchang County Office.

Others were not so lucky, and in the chaos, the officials at all levels in Yan'an Prefecture lost their lives on the spot. Yan Wenlong's heart was lively, and he had already prepared a set of clothes at the head of the bed, and when he heard that the movement was wrong, he put on a short coat with a few patches and went into the room. When Guan Jianlin led people to rush into the house and ask where the dog officer was, he pointed to the back door and led them to "find" the silver box under the bed, thus gaining trust - after splitting the silver box, Guan Jianlin even casually threw him a piece of silver weighing about two taels.

Mo Hantao also ran away. But in a hurry, I forgot to change my shoes, the thick-soled official boots were really not designed for a 100-meter sprint-like escape, and I kept tripping over the debris that I had kicked and fell to the ground, and I was blocked back before I ran far, and at this moment I was tied to kneel under the porch with other officials of all sizes who did not escape.

Chang Wenping didn't have the intention of running away at all: the family has reached a safe place, and he has old acquaintances over there, as long as he is not too unlucky to meet a stunned young man and can't help but say that he is the safest - Guan Shengyun's most concerned places are the prefect's yamen, the silver warehouse, the granary, the houses of officials and wealthy families, and the inn will definitely not be the key target. Besides, you can still find an excuse to run to Yan'an Mansion in Ansai, and where can you run from Yan'an Mansion?

Changzhi County has done the right thing again. There was a gang of rebels in the inn, but they first went straight to the account room, and then after searching the floating wealth of the merchants who stayed in the inn, they drove them out into the street and no one paid any more attention. Chang Wen was mixed in the crowd, and the homeless people in the streets and alleys formed different groups of people, and the clueless rebels were hugging each other, Chang Wen usually took advantage of the chaos from time to time to mix in from this group to that group, and gradually approached the direction of the prefect's yamen, until he was discovered by Master Luo, who was standing on the steps. The two sides looked at each other, Master Luo quietly explained a few words to the minions around him, and after a short time, Chang Wenping sat in the flower hall of the prefect's yamen and drank hot fragrant tea, and Luo Shifan stood beside him.

If you don't count Shenmu County, which has only one street, this is the first time Guan Shengyun has really captured the city - okay, Shenmu County really can't be considered a city, just don't let the two Master Luo hear it.

Although the days of being a bandit are not short, after all, it is Guan Dashuai who grew up in the official army barracks with the slogan of "protecting the territory and the people", and at this moment, there are still some things in his heart. According to Master Luo's instructions, he had already explained to his subordinates: Ansai County, which was easily obtained, was a springboard base for attacking Yan'an Fucheng, and it must not be harmed, otherwise it would be killed. When he entered the county seat, he only brought the personal guard battalion and stationed it near the county government to be in good case, and the other battalions were arranged on the four gates and the city wall, and they were not allowed to run around.

There are a lot of materials squeezed out of Yulin Mansion, and some of them have been seized in Mizhi Suide and other places, Guan Shengyun simply opened the small grain depot in Ansai and distributed some grain to the people, and the people's hearts have temporarily settled down. Because of the large army, the thieves and scoundrels in the county who are usually idle have settled down a lot, and none of them dare to come forward, and the order is even much better than when Chang Wenping was the magistrate of the county. Guan Shengyun was very proud - in this regard, Master Luo just smiled faintly.

Luo Yonghao knew that when Yan'an Fucheng was captured, the situation would be very different.

Yan'an Mansion is really not a prosperous place in the Ming Dynasty, but in the eyes of thousands of military men like Huazi, it is definitely a fairyland on earth! The brick and stone dwellings alone are jaw-dropping to those who have only seen thatched-roof adobe walls, not to mention the three-storey riverside wine shop!

At first, these guys didn't dare to make too many mistakes, until someone chased and killed the officers and soldiers who resisted and entered the house.

And then...... In an instant, order was gone!

Rebels broke down the houses along the streets, looting, committing adultery and, of course, massacring.

There is a wise saying: Don't fall into the hands of people who are not as good as you.

At this moment, Yan'an Mansion is a verification. In the eyes of this group of rebels, no matter how poor the people in the city are, they will also have a life that they will never think of in their lives, I want to rob, I want to possess it, and I will destroy what I can't take away! In one afternoon, Yan'an Mansion was almost reduced to hell on earth.

In that afternoon, Guan Shengyun had completely lost control of his subordinates - the chain of command was completely broken: the heralds sent could not find the battalion officer, the battalion officer could not find the team officer, the team officer could not find the fruit chief, and even the fruit chiefs could not guarantee that the guys who robbed with him must be his subordinates!

All of this was expected by Master Luo. However, in addition to issuing a death order in advance that "no arson is allowed, and those who violate the order will not be killed", even Guan Shengyun was interrupted by Master Luo when he had just mentioned military discipline at the earlier military meeting.

Master Luo is not a bad person, but he is an understanding person.

Luo Yonghao knew very clearly: first, this rabble entered the city and saw the prosperity that they had never seen in their lives, and it was impossible to control themselves, and secondly, the military order must maintain its authority. If all the people who violated the military order are killed, and there is no need to wait for the officers and soldiers to suppress them, this team will collapse on its own - it is better not to say it at all, third, from Guan Shengyun to the lowest level of the men and auxiliaries, everyone needs to experience this for themselves. There is still a long way to go, and with this experience, you may be able to go further.

Raising his eyes to see that the sun was already crumbling in the western sky, Master Luo whispered to Guan Shengyun, who was at a loss, "Dashuai, it's almost time." ”

Since entering the mansion, Guan Shengyun first sat on Yu Shengliang's Taishi chair and couldn't help but be happy. When the mood calmed down, he couldn't sit still when he heard the shouts and killings outside, although Luo Yonghao had already been vaccinated, he still sent a few guards to find the battalion officers with a fluke mentality - the streets were full of fleeing people and rebellious soldiers carrying large bags and small bags to grab things, of course, no one could find them. So I started to walk back and forth in the main hall, sat back on a chair and drank water after a few laps, and after a few more turns, I took a few sips of water...... Hearing Master Luo's reminder, Guan Dashuai, who was about to swell & burst his belly, finally stood still and looked at the latter. Luo Yonghao nodded and said again: "It's almost time, and the brothers should be tired." Send someone to look for it, and most of them will find it. ”

The guards rode on horseback and galloped down the street, shouting and running: "The commander has an order, and the battalion officer will quickly go to the government office to listen to the order!" The team officers gathered the surrounding brothers and stood by! ”

In less than two pillars of incense (one stick of incense is about fifteen minutes today), the elated battalion officers arrived at the government hall one after another. Guan Shengyun spread out the list that Luo Yonghao had written in advance, and assigned tasks one by one:

The Takato Bean Department is in charge of guarding the Yan'an Treasury treasury.

You Futian, Gu Baihua, Gong Derun, Zhang Ding and others led part of the four walls of east, west, north and south.

Guan Yehuo and Gu Baisong led their troops to search for the remnants of the officers and soldiers.

From now on, except in the event of resistance, all departments, including officers and soldiers, are prohibited from killing a single person.

All property seized and plundered by the ministries shall be handed over......

When it came to other content, it was okay, everyone responded with a smile, Guan Shengyun just read this, and was immediately unanimously protested by the generals, Gu Baihua was the first to jump out and shout: "Handsome, Master Luo!" The brothers fought for their lives in exchange for the floating wealth, how did they pay it all? That one...... Is it better to pay half? As soon as this remark came out, others echoed it.

Guan Shengyun glared and slapped the table: "Bastard, dare not listen to Master Luo's words?" ”

Gu Baihua and the others were about to argue, Luo Yonghao cleared his throat, raised his hands and pressed downward, and said unhurriedly: "Generals, don't worry, listen to Luo Mou first." After Luo finishes speaking, he will hand over or stay, everyone is at your own convenience, and Luo will never interfere! ”

The main hall gradually fell silent. Luo Yonghao chuckled and said, "Luo wants to ask the generals one thing: let's ...... Why rebel? ”

Everyone buzzed and responded: "I can't live anymore", "There's no way to live"!

Luo Yonghao high-fived: "That's right, I can't live anymore - if I can live, who will do such a lifeless job?" ”

Gong Derun, a landlord in Baoding who came over near Yulin Mansion, distinguished: "Since Master Luo also said so, then, the brothers have just made a small fortune, so they will take it......"

Luo Yonghao's expression was straight, and he asked: "Luo Mou asks you again: If you have a hundred and ten taels of silver in your arms, what will you do?" ”

The generals looked at each other, and some of them slowly opened up a little.

Luo Yonghao raised his voice: "You are already generals, and you may not be able to look down on these hundred and ten taels today." But what about your men? What about your men? Luo can pat his chest and assure everyone: they will do everything they can to escape! ”

Everyone really didn't think about this problem, and all of a sudden, the main hall was so quiet that it could be heard falling pins.

I only heard Luo Yonghao continue: "Although there are a lot of us, most of us have been sheltered and defected all the way, and we haven't formed any lifelong friendships with each other. Those who grab the money will try their best to run away, they will think of buying a few acres of land, and it is better to marry another daughter-in-law! Even, for their own escape, they will cut down the brothers who are guarding the door and blocking the way, and for the sake of future peace, they will even report all our falsehoods and truths to the government! Those who didn't run were all not grabbed enough this time, and they will run when they grab enough next time! Regardless of the fact that the government will arrest and kill them one by one to make an example......" Master Luo paused intentionally and shouted, "Even if they can run away, what about you?" Where can you run! Even if the government can let them go in the end, will the government still let you go! Luo can tell you very clearly: If you can be killed on the spot, it means that your ancestors have accumulated virtue! When the time comes, we will all be sent to Jingshi Ling Chi! The big reversal is 3,357 knives of fish scales, the first two knives cut the eyelids, three or four knives cut the breasts, and then one knife by one to cut off the pubic eggs! For three days and three nights in a row, each knife will remove the meat the size of a copper coin, and when you become a skeleton, the person is still alive, and he will not die until the last knife stabs the heart! Do you understand? In the last sentence, Luo Yonghao shouted loudly.

The crowd was dumbfounded.

After a while, Gu Baihua lowered his head and hugged his fists and said, "Master has taught me a lesson." The villain immediately collected the things that the death row inmates robbed by the private children. ”

Luo Yonghao nodded and said softly: "It's good that you can understand this truth." After a while, everyone will bring personal guards, and every team, every fruit, and everyone will be searched. However, when searching the body, you can loosen up a little under your hands, and leave a few taels of broken silver for everyone, after all, the brothers are all doing this with their heads, and they have to keep some thoughts......" Speaking of this, he deliberately dragged out his voice, "As for everyone, the handsome man has already made arrangements, this time they will each divide a few hundred taels first, and it will always be useful to give a reward or something later...... Actually, everyone here is a general, and everything is not ours! Do we need to worry about running out of money to spend? Hahahaha. ”

The generals should be shocked - if Master Luo's performance in Yulin Mansion has impressed everyone, from this moment on, everyone admires Master Luo as a celestial in their hearts, and admires it from the bottom of their hearts.

Luo Yonghao added a few more words: "Generals, this is the first time we have taken the city, and it can be regarded as a successful sneak attack, and we have not encountered any organized resistance." In the future, you will probably need to restrain your subordinates in order to occupy the ...... Well, or rather, to save their own lives. When attacking the city, what should the various departments do Luo is a layman, and he also asked the marshal to give instructions. After entering the city, let's follow the rules set today! ”
