Chapter 116 Helping to ask for food

The regiment camp rested in the village for a day, waiting for the engineering team, baggage team, and civilian carriage team that were behind.

Always worried that something would happen to this team on the road, Chen Xie sent a team of people to greet him. Chen Xie, who had been waiting at the entrance of the village, saw the carriage Motai was riding, and Chen Xie's concerns were verified. The journey was not smooth, and there were many refugees along the way. If it weren't for meeting an army that came from afar from Sichuan, Motai would take the initiative to hook up with others, send some food and walk together, he really didn't know what the result would be.

Chen Xie knew very well what officers and soldiers were all about. Unexpectedly, the army that was serving the king did not steal food. This was so fantasy. When he heard Mo Tai mention that the leader of this army was a woman named Qin Liangyu, Chen Xie looked solemn.

"Come here, bring all the seized food, and bring all the pork and mutton that have not been eaten." Chen Xie immediately explained, but unfortunately, the pork and mutton were finished yesterday, and there was only canned lunch meat.

After pulling 30 trucks of grain and a truck of canned lunch meat, Chen Xie took a team of people to the road.

There is no doubt that this is a respectable great woman. Even Chen Xie, a modern person, knows her name. If another army comes, Chen Xie will definitely order all troops to be on guard.

Shortly after walking out, Chen Xie met the brigade behind. After some condolences, he learned that Qin Liangyu's troops were heading to Tongzhou, so he rushed over with a grain truck. He saw the brigade of troops under the city from afar and rode forward several times. Chen Xie immediately asked the brigade to stop and rode his horse forward alone and spoke.

The three cavalry came forward, and on the back of the horse that led the way was a middle-aged man with a dark face and a little old armor, but it was clean. The two knights followed, and the horses looked a little short. Chen Xie knew that this was a horse breed from Yunnan and Guizhou. His characteristics were that he could endure hardships and was able to travel far.

"Chen Xie, the ambassador of the Dengzhou regiment training camp, I would like to thank Shi Zhuxuan for comforting General Qin of the department for escorting the food team. Please inform him on your behalf." Chen Xie turned over and dismounted from the horse and bowed his hand to speak.

Qin Yiming also quickly dismounted and said politely: "The general went to lock the city gate. There was not much food and grass. I hope the Tongzhou area can provide some assistance. If not, it would be fine to buy some with money."

This sounds interesting, but Chen Xie didn't care. Instead, he smiled and said, "So that's it. It just so happened that I seized some food yesterday and I brought it all to express my gratitude."

At this time, Motai's carriage also arrived. Qin Yiming's eyes lit up and he laughed: "You're so polite."

Qin Yiming was so impressed by this strange army. Not long after Tianjin, the forward horse team discovered that this strange team was surrounded by refugees to grab food. As a result, the group of people was not vague at all. The four-wheeled carriages connected to form a chariot array. First, warning them not to get close. As a result, thousands of refugees surrounded them and knocked down hundreds of people with a roulette. The refugees were in a mess. The people did not pursue them and hurried in the chariot array and watched them walk away.

After everyone ran away, they came out to clean up the corpses on the ground and dug a hole to bury them. When the three thousand white-rod soldiers approached, they retracted back into the carriage. Qin Yiming took the initiative to contact him, saying that they were the king-supporting soldiers from Sichuan and had no malice.

So when he met Mo Tai, he was polite, Qin Liangyu came and learned that the main force of this group training was in crisis in the capital. The main force took the lead to rescue the capital, and immediately stated that he could follow the Baigang Soldier for a while, and the Baigang Soldiers provided protection.

This decision was rewarded very quickly. The group training was so good that it brought a truck of dry food (compressed biscuits), and a kind of thing called canned meat. The ate of the local soldiers shouted that it was delicious. People also advised not to eat too much biscuits, just eat two pieces of it, so as not to be overwhelmed. Several soldiers didn't believe it, but they ate too much, and they felt ache in their stomachs at night. They sent medical soldiers and fed digestive medicine to be fine.

It can be said that Qin Yiming has a deep affection for this army and has always wanted to meet this ambassador of the regiment training, but he didn't expect that he would come to visit him politely.

With Mo Tai's appearance, the communication was simple. After some greetings and politeness, Chen Xie was invited over. Along the way, he saw these dusty white-rod soldiers resting on the side of the road, with the iconic white wax red-taxed spear, and he felt very moved. What these people wear can no longer be described as shabby, they are simply ragged.

Seeing the closed city gate and Qin Liangyu walking back, Chen Xie was furious. He thought about it and suppressed his anger and followed Qin Yiming to greet him.

"Chen Xie has seen General Qin!" Chen Xie's dress was so easy to recognize. Although Qin Liangyu was not in a good mood, she smiled and turned over and dismounted, took off her cloak before bowing back to her gift: "I'm polite!" Qin Yiming stepped forward to speak. After hearing this, Qin Liangyu showed joy and bowed again: "Oh, I'm really negligent. General Chen has really helped a lot. Our army came from thousands of miles away and would have been out of food yesterday. If we hadn't met your subordinate, we would have set off on the road hungry."

Chen Xie smiled and pointed to Tongzhou and said, "Why, are they unwilling to open the city gate?" This was a bit presumptuous, but Qin Liangyu nodded disregardly and said, "It's almost like this along the way. The better ones give some food, and the almost ones chased people directly. The food I brought was enough to support the capital, but when we arrived in Baoding, we met the defeated soldiers in Shanxi, and then the Ministry of War sent an order to ask our army to go east, through Tianjin to Tongzhou, to protect the canal passage from falling into the enemy. After spending a few more days on the road, the food was not enough."

Chen Xie smiled and said, "Xie and the two Shangguans in the city have some friendship. If you believe it, you can ask your subordinates to walk five miles along the official road and camp nearby when they see a village. The city gate will be opened when you come down."

Qin Liangyu was a little surprised, but he quickly smiled and said, "Okay, let's do as General Chen said."

Chen Xie walked to the city and shouted loudly: "Listen to the people in the city. I am Chen Xie, hurry up and call General Yang."

Yang Guodong was very proud of his face. Before, Qin Liangyu came to lock the city gate, but he ignored it, let alone alarm the two adults. Now Chen Xie came to call the door, immediately came out of the residence, brought people to the city gate in person, and bowed and spoke politely.

"Sihua, you're here just right. Brother is not buying up the money now. I'm still missing 10,000 taels of silver yesterday, why don't you owe it first?" Yang Guodong was pretty shameless. Yesterday, Chen Xie went to the village yesterday, but he sent someone to send 50,000 silver and some vegetables and meat. He took away the cutting of the head. Wang Qinian, who was responsible for the transaction, did not let go and deducted it. At this moment, he was still thinking about saving 10,000 taels of silver.

Chen Xie pinched the wrist of his right hand with his left hand, moved his fists a few times and said, "I said Lao Yang, isn't this suitable? You have all the credit for this, and you are planning to owe me the money? If you do this, I can't explain to my brothers. Besides, your little money is not enough to buy a first-level person. Do you want me to settle the score?"

Yang Guodong remembers the greatness of his fists. He dared not forget what happened yesterday afternoon. In fact, he also knew very well that Chen Xie was not a resentment to deal with him, but simply wanted to tell him that someone would not play according to common sense.

It would be nonsense to say that there was no resentment in his heart. However, Yang Guodong's status yesterday was too embarrassing, and Chen Xie showed strong combat power. He had to give in and did not dare to take revenge. Otherwise, Governor Jie and Censor Fang would not spare him.

"No, brother!" Yang Guodong quickly put away his dirty thoughts and changed his mind: "Or, I don't want those armored weapons, and I will pay the 10,000 taels of silver."

Chen Xie sneered and said, "What do you think? You plan to pay the 10,000 taels of silver account. I can promise you. Brothers can promise you? Go back and practice mutiny and pull the cannons to Tongzhou. How many cannons do you think you can get? Then, I will hit the city and ask you for silver rewards, and I can't suppress it."

This is the threat of the nude. This was a very funny thing in the Ming Dynasty. When a mutiny occurs, it is not the soldiers who are held accountable first, but the officials in the location. In recent years, mutiny between officers and soldiers has happened from time to time, and those who are unlucky are those who are officials and then left unresolved.

Of course, the most important thing is to buy money for money. Yang Guodong is really afraid of being exposed.

"Brother, the money is gone. You want to take care of my concubine. This will give you some interest. If you don't like it, I'll find a few young boys to send it to you." This guy started talking nonsense and messing around. Meeting such a shameless bastard is also a matter of luck. This guy still realized that Chen Xie was just trying to make trouble, he was very cunning.

"Let's do this, get 30,000 to 50,000 kilograms of grain. The brothers of the Sichuan Army came from all the way, and at least they said. Don't tell me that there is no food, otherwise they will turn against each other." Chen Xie seemed to be second-rate, and this was the purpose.

"No, where can we get so much food? Less, less." Yang Guodong continued to smile. This guy thought he could see Chen Xie's essence, but he never thought that Chen Xie's face was sunk: "Twenty thousand kilograms, you need good food and eat a tare, don't blame your brother for being ruthless."

Yang Guodong knew that this was the final limit, and it was just the right time. Isn’t it just the forty trucks of grain? He had to grab it even if he grabbed it.

"Okay, since I'm talking, I've agreed to this matter, but those armors..."

"Bah..." Chen Xie spat without hesitation and furiously tried to beat him. Qin Yiming, who was eavesdropping on the side, moved quickly and hugged Chen Xie: "General Chen, calm down!"

"I'm so angry that my brothers have traveled thousands of miles to serve the king, even some food..." Chen Xie was about to continue fighting. Yang Guodong learned his lesson this time and quickly said, "Brother, brother, can't I agree?"

"Hmph, I can't see food before dark, so I'll bring my own troops to take it." Chen Xie said viciously, turned around and left. Yang Guodong actually smiled and said to his back: "Let's go slowly!" He turned around and was proud, saying to himself: "I've made a lot of money, I've made a lot of money. How can I change to a good place to stay in a great place?"

Yang Guodong really has no shortage of food. When the wealthy families in Chengli were surrounded in the capital, they enthusiastically donated 10 kilograms of grain. Although they were all old grain, they could eat it.
