Chapter 202 Endure! Cruel!
Chapter 202: Tolerance! Cruel!
Chen Xie, who had too many things to grab and had few cavalry, had no intention of continuing to chase after him. Anyway, he had basically nothing to do with him. The people who were carrying the civilians and rushed home must have run back. The remaining Liaodong rebels were some small groups of wandering soldiers, which was basically not a big trouble. The only thing that he hated was that Kong Youde didn't know where to go, and it was a pity that he didn't kill this traitor. Well, in fact, Chen Xie hated that this guy shared military salary with him.
All those who could move were moved away, but before the news was replying to the surrounding areas, Chen Xie and others were impatient. While wandering on the streets with few people and preparing to send a day off, a communication soldier suddenly came and said: Someone was causing trouble at the city gate.
Chen Xie was so idle that he was excited and hurriedly ran to the east gate. When he arrived at the scene, he found that a group of soldiers surrounded a group of people. The officer in charge was still shouting: "Hug your head, squat down. Trek through the checkpoint, and those who resisted will be killed without mercy."
There are checkpoints at all four city gates. This is the rule for marching outside to fight wars. Who dares to rush to the checkpoints?
General Chen Shen strode forward and looked down. A sedan chair was knocked over to the ground. An official squatted on the ground. There were seven or eight people squatting down with him. He looked like a sedan chairman or a yamen runner. Several soldiers were smashing two people who fell to the ground with butt stocks. I wonder what these two unlucky guys did to cause trouble.
"How can I hit someone? How can I hit someone? Is it unreasonable?"
The official squatting on the ground kept repeating this sentence. The sound was not very loud, with a tremolo.
Seeing Chen Xie, the soldier stopped. When Chen Xie saw that the officer on duty was Ding Zixiong, his expression became serious. He pointed to the two unlucky guys lying on the ground and said, "Bitch! How can he smash people with a butt?"
The official squatting on the ground, as if he heard the fairy music, burst into tears and looked up at Chen Xie, who was about to speak. Unexpectedly, Chen Xie held back what he wanted to say.
"A gun is the life of a soldier. It is more important than your wife. Being careful of a gun is like protecting your own eyes. A group of idiots, the shoes you wear are hard soles, and you won't kick them with your feet. Are you stupid or not!"
It was a dream to expect Chen Xie to be reasonable. Chen never helped his relatives but not to mention that the person who was beaten was the civil servant whom Chen Xie looked down upon the most, so Chen Xie did not intend to reason, and even believed that he favored his own people. Guo Ruifen was very serious about demonstrating to the people below: "Look clearly, treat these people who are good at rushing to the whistle card, this is the way they should be beaten." As he said that, Chen Xie raised his foot and kicked the civil servant hard on the back, and kicked the horse directly.
After kicking over, he squatted in front of the civil servant and asked with a smile: "Who are you? Do you know what this is? You dare to break through the checkpoints."
"I am the magistrate of Changyi, Fan Jian (made up by randomly), why don't I let me enter the city?" County Magistrate Fan, who struggled to get up, was still in the mood to tidy up his clothes. He could not see the anger flashing in Chen Xie's eyes at all.
"Fan Jian? You are really cheap. As a county magistrate, you abandon your people, flee without fighting, and throw tens of thousands of people to the rebels. Do you still have the face to come back? Your elders are sorry to your father and the lower ones are sorry to the people. Such unfaithful and unrighteous people should have been punished to thank the world."
Chen Xie said this, and thought Fan Jian would be ashamed, but he didn't expect that the other person's face would not be blushing. Instead, he said seriously: "This county is not escaping, but seeing that the thieves are powerful, he went to Laizhou for help. Unfortunately, the thieves came too quickly and the city had fallen before the county returned. The county's crimes will be reported to the capital that the court will make a decision. On the contrary, General Chen, as a military general, you have set up a private roadblock and condoned your subordinates to do evil. The county will dissuade you and be beaten. In this matter, the county will report to the court. The court's father-in-law will decide."
Chen Xie thought that if he had a bad heart and a thick-skinned person, he had a deep attainment. Unexpectedly, the person in front of him was far above him. If he was just a bad heart and a thick-skinned person, this bastard would be shameless at all. The best way to deal with such a person is not to reason, but to let him know that the world is useless.
Chen Xie understood what Fan Jian thought very well. He just relied on being a civil servant, and used Chen Xie and his subordinates to beat others and forced Chen Xie to compromise and make concessions. If he could make some credit, his official position could be preserved.
Chen Xie's judgment was completely correct. Fan Jian went to bring rescue soldiers and had been hiding in Laizhou recently. The Laizhou magistrate Zhu Wannian didn't like him, so he just refused to leave. Zhu Wannian threatened to write about him but was useless, but instead turned the tables, saying that Zhu Wannian would not save him when he was dead and refused to send troops to rescue Changyi.
Of course, Zhu Wannian would not send troops to rescue Changyi. He repeatedly emphasized that Chen Xie, the general of the Dengzhou camp, had led his troops to go on an expedition and asked him to chase him quickly. But Fan Jian was afraid of death. Otherwise, why did the rebels run away as soon as they arrived in Changle and had more than 100 miles away? How could a general of the Dengzhou camp fight the rebels? The Shandong general in Jinan was defeated, so he refused to leave, and he wanted to let Zhu Wannian send troops to move.
Where did Zhu Wannian send troops to him? Geng Zhongming and Zhang Tao did not propose to fight against the rebels at all. They came to help defend Laizhou and asked them to send troops. There was no reason.
The matter was dragged down. After receiving the news that Chen Xie defeated the rebels in one battle, Zhu Wannian asked them the reliability of the matter and whether they would send someone to verify it. Geng Zhongming and Zhang Tao both thought this matter was not reliable. Chen Xie had only a few thousand people, and Kong Youde and Li Jiucheng had to have 20,000 people, right? It was defeated in one battle and won a great victory. I really can't believe that this matter was true. Perhaps the two armies fought each other and each suffered casualties. The rebels might have a greater casualty and did not retreat. But if you say that the defeat was too small. Kong Youde and Li Jiucheng were both fighting each other, so they were defeated so simply.
Zhu Wannian thought these two things made sense, so he believed them. Once he believed them, Fan Jian naturally did not dare to go back.
After waiting for two days, I saw Chen Xie's soldiers escorting thousands of rebel prisoners passing by Laizhou. I could see clearly on the city. The officials in the city were alarmed. Zhu Wannian, Geng Zhongming, Zhang Tao, and Fan Jian all saw clearly on the city. They actually defeated the rebels in one battle? When the facts were in front of me, if they didn't believe it, it would be a problem with their IQ. In fact, this matter was very simple, as long as they sent someone to check it. What's funny is that these guys not only did not send people to check it, but instead subjectively believed that Chen Xie lied about his military achievements.
Why did this happen? It's very simple, a habitual thinking. Whether it's civil officials or military generals in the Ming Dynasty, one of the achievements was always 10 to 80% of the time. The act of mixing water was really so skillful that I couldn't be more proficient. Everyone did this, so it was naturally taken for granted. Chen Xie's news said that beheading three thousand, and the captives were counted. The understanding here was naturally divided by tens of thousands of people, and the result was naturally beheading three hundred. A battle of tens of thousands of people beheading three hundred. What's the difference between defeating the enemy and defeating the enemy?
Zhu Wannian, Geng Zhongming and others were still thinking, but Fan Jian had already rushed out of the city and called his subordinates. Several carriages ran towards Changyi. Along the way, Fan Jian's plan was quick, and he felt that he was a civil servant. As long as he said a few good words, Chen Xie would definitely give him face. Then he would get some benefits for Chen Xie, and everything would be covered up.
Unexpectedly, after walking for a day and a half, I returned to Changyi, set up a guard of ceremonies, and was about to enter the city with a swagger, but I was stopped. There was no place for a martial artist in the eyes of the civil servants, and the people below were arrogant, so they pushed them up and rushed into the city.
This time, Chen Xie's men were all unwilling to suffer losses. In Dengzhou, the governor could not even take care of them. You, a county magistrate, dare to bare your teeth? The bayonet came out and beat him up. After the beating, he dragged Fan Jian off the sedan chair and asked him to hold his head in his arms. The two of them who were the most arrogant before were treated with special treatment and beat him up.
Fan Jian felt so frustrated. He thought that these Qiu Ba would definitely be afraid of the position of a county magistrate. At least he would go to invite the superior to see him, but he never thought of having a meal first. It would be fine if he met Chen Xie later and got the handle.
Fan Jian thought very well, but he didn't know that Chen Xie was completely an alternative. After staying in the Ming Dynasty for a few years, Chen Xie learned two things, one was tolerant, and if you can't afford it, you will tolerate it. The other was cruel. If you can't provoke it, you will not recognize it, and you must be treated cruelly.
You must endure when you should be patient, and you must be cruel when you should be cruel. Otherwise, you will be extremely irresponsible for your career in the Ming Dynasty.
"Let me listen to it. Our army took back the Changyi County town from the rebels. As a county magistrate, he was responsible for defending the territory and should have died to repay the king. This bastard left the people in the city and ran away by himself. Now he comes back to show off his power and has to entertain him well. He is here to serve me, don't beat him to death." After Chen Xie said that, he stood aside, and the soldiers behind him rushed forward and beat him up.
The soldiers were still very sensible. Fan Jian was not beaten very hard, but his subordinates were in trouble. Kicking people with hard soles hurt. A strong man was wearing big-headed leather shoes and kicking people to death. Fortunately, Chen Xie had something to say first, so he didn't beat people to death. So he went to the point where he was not important.
After the fight, all of these people were bruised and swollen. The soldiers were taken to the demolition room of the county government. Chen Xie watched them leave, and naturally he could see Fan Jian bleeding from his mouth, with gloom and resentment flashing in his eyes.
I know you hate me, but what can you do? Chen Xie sneered and waved to an officer to explain. The guy was stunned. Chen Xie smiled and asked him, "What, can't this Jinyiwei be a detective? Then I'll come in person."
The officer's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly bowed: "I will definitely do a beautiful job, and I will definitely satisfy the adults."
Chen Xie smiled slightly and said, "Did you see the last carriage? The matter is done, the people and finances in the car are all yours." (To be continued...)
