Chapter 261
Second Head
Song Xiaoai was leading a group of personal soldiers to the Governor's Office when he suddenly saw an old man with white hair shouting, yelling, "The officers and soldiers fight and destroy my tavern." He quickly asked someone to intercept him and asked, "Old man, what happened?"
The old man stamped his feet and said, "Girl, don't block my way. Two groups of officers and soldiers fought in my restaurant. I'm rushing to the Governor's Mansion to report the news."
Song Xiaoai led his army to Suzhou and was stationed on a slope outside the city that was not a mountain. Yangling not only gave him half a month's food ration, but also rewarded another thousand taels of silver for the death of the Japanese yesterday. Song Xiaoai was very happy and came to the Governor's Office to thank him.
When Song Xiaoai heard the fight between the officers and soldiers, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and shouted: "It's someone who is not open to the eyes? The generals won the battle. The people were very happy, but they caused trouble at this time. Let's take me to see!"
The old man said with a bitter face: "Girl, those are two groups of soldiers. I heard that there is another... a general in charge. You can't afford to offend me. Don't delay my business. In a while, I'm afraid the restaurant will be demolished."
A Zhuang soldier next to him said proudly: "We are the general general of the female sect general, and the emperor personally conferred them, so can't we still care about them?"
Song Xiaoai was actually appointed as the general, but he was in charge of the general, and his official position was above the general. When he heard what his subordinates said, the little girl unconsciously raised her plump breasts and said proudly: "Don't worry, who dares to disobey, I will take him down, beat him up again forty boards, and lead the way."
The old man heard from the diner that the army that helped the Governor defeat the Japanese pirates last night was a wolf soldier from the Zhuang family in Guangxi, and the leader was a female general. Unexpectedly, the beautiful little girl in front of him, who was like a dew-like flower stamen. If it were this female hero who even defeated the Japanese pirates, it would be no problem to deal with a few soldiers.
He hurriedly led Song Xiaoai back to the restaurant. The Shandong soldiers and Sichuan soldiers had already fired a real fire at this time, but the Sichuan soldiers were generally shorter than the Shandong soldiers. In addition, the gang general Jiang Zhou was hit by a bench just after he ran downstairs. Now he was lying on the ground unconsciously. The Sichuan soldiers were at a disadvantage under the headless dragons and were chased by a group of Shandong men.
Song Xiaoai stepped into the restaurant. When she saw the mess in the room, she couldn't help but shouted: "Stop! Who are you soldiers? How dare you be so bold!"
When a Shandong soldier saw that it was a beautiful little girl, he threw down the stool leg in his hand and said with a smile: "Little girl, why are you involved in men fighting? I honestly cook at home and take care of my children. These bad things are just a beating!"
After he finished speaking, he saw a partner being dragged to the ground by two Sichuan soldiers and was riding on him and beaten up. He immediately yelled and rushed over. Song Xiaoai shouted, "I am the general general of the gang, you have to listen to me."
The soldiers from both sides were fighting with great enthusiasm, who would listen to what the little girl called? Song Xiaoai is the leader of Nandanzhou. She always called him a hundred times and had ever been neglected. When she saw this situation, she was furious. She waved her hand and shouted, "Take it all for me!"
A group of Zhuang men gave the order when they saw the leader. They rushed in and joined the battle group, causing a hotel owner to go around in a hurry. Dozens of men were added to the small restaurant, which was really a big fight. Fortunately, these Zhuang soldiers were already relatively strong in their physical strength, and the strength of the soldiers on both sides of Sichuan and Shandong made the land equal. After a melee, they were finally caught by her people.
In the front yard of the Governor's Mansion, a soldier with a bruised nose and swollen face stood in the yard. A stretcher was put on the ground next to him with a table board. The general Jiang Zhou, who had not yet succeeded, was lying on the side and was treated by the doctor. He had already woken up at this time.
Yang Ling sat on an official hat chair under the corridor and looked at the two teams of officers and soldiers coldly. The two teams had clear barriers and looked at each other with glaring at their tense appearance. If the Governor was not on the top, they would have to fight again on the spot.
Bai Chongzan was so angry that his face turned pale. He pressed the sword under his ribs and paced back and forth in the courtyard with anger. A Sichuan soldier stood straight and was carrying a military order loudly: "Military Law 1: If you hear the drum, you will not advance. If you hear the gold, you will not stop. If you hear the flag, you will not raise it. If you press it, you will not bend it. This is called a contradictory army. If you violate it, you will behead it.
Military Law 2: The name is not appropriate, the time is not in time, and the violation is not in time, and the teacher's law is changed. This is called a slow army, and the offenders are killed. Military Law 3: The night is about to spread the tricks, and the lazy is not reported, and the violation is slow, and the name is unknown. This is called a lazy army, and the offenders are killed..."
He could not carry the ninth one after he was carved. Bai Chongzan sneered and waved his hand. Two law enforcement officers rushed over and pushed him down on the spot. The two army sticks flew left and right, and started to fight. The Sichuan army was fierce, gritting their teeth and thrusting silently.
Bai Chongzan pointed at a Shandong soldier and said coldly: "You, keep going!"
There were not many soldiers on the ground who could pass the army back on the ground. Soon, a yard was knocked down, and there were fewer and fewer soldiers standing around the two gang generals.
At this time, it was another Shandong soldier. He heard that he was high and the military rules were ups and downs, and the reversals were strong. After he had finished carving all the "Seventeen Forbidden Laws and Fifty-Four Kills", he glanced at the Sichuan soldiers proudly and saluted Yang Ling and said, "Report to the commander, the mark has been carved!"
Yang Ling held a cup of tea, and used the tea cover to slid the tea, without raising his eyelids, just slowly said: "I've finished memorizing it? OK... Isn't a word wrong, where are you from? What's your surname?"
The soldier raised his head proudly and shouted: "Return to the commander-in-chief, the following is a native of Dezhou, Shandong, with his surname Yang and his name is Quan!"
Yang Ling smiled and said, "Well, Yang Quan...Yang Quan..., haha, it's still my own family, good, good!"
Yang Quan's face just showed joy, and Yang Ling said lightly: "Just remember everything, if you know the law, you will be punished first, and if you come, you will be given ten sticks!"
"Ga?" Yang Quan was stunned. Before he could argue, he was pushed to the ground by two law enforcement soldiers. The Sichuan soldiers on the opposite side laughed loudly when they saw this. Even when they were lying on the ground and were beaten, they grinned and grinned.
Yang Ling handed the teacup to the side, stood up and said, "That's not bad, huh? I want to fight the Japanese pirates, so I ask the emperor for orders to transfer some soldiers who can fight. Shandong and Sichuan commanders sent you here. It seems that they really used some thoughts. Not bad, the military stick was stuck on their bodies. No one shouted in pain, they were all men!"
He changed his voice and shouted loudly: "But I am here to call you here to fight against the Japanese pirates and protect the people! Is it that you are killing each other and demolishing the buildings for the people? Who was General Jiang Shen knocked out? Stand out!"
Yang Quan lay on the ground and shouted: "It was a beating from the flag! The flag was being executed by military law and could not get up. Please forgive me!"
Yang Ling sneered and said, "What a sharp mouth, he complains a lot, angered his generals, and did not listen to the constraints, and it was even more difficult to control them. The following offenders will hurt the generals and punish them for several crimes. He will behead him for me!"
When the Shandong soldiers heard this order, they were shocked, and the laughter of the Sichuan soldiers also came to an abrupt end. Meng Sihai was anxious and knelt down and said, "Report to the commander of the governor, Yang Quan followed the commander to conquer the bandits and bandits, and made many military achievements. I asked the commander of the governor to forgive him. This matter was all because the commander of the last general was not strict in discipline and condoned his subordinates. Please punish the commander of the governor. All the blame was to bear with all their strength."
Yang Ling said coldly: "Yang Quan was the best. He was seriously injured by a decent official of the imperial court. Can you afford this crime? I was the general to kill him for the military law, and the police will follow him. If he was to pardon him for the death penalty, would the soldiers of the Sichuan Army be convinced?"
Meng Sihai was furious: What's wrong with the Sichuan Army? He was fighting with integrity, but I didn't trip up my vagina. If you lose, you are not as good as others. Why do you have to learn from children to complain to adults?
But Meng Sihai is very loyal, and now his personal soldiers are on the verge of death. Judging from the tone of the commander, the Dayouchuan Army would forgive him for his death if he was willing to let him go. He had to bow to Jiang Zhou and squeeze out a smile and said, "Mr. Jiang, we are all our soldiers who are reckless. The so-called "I don't know each other without fighting. Meng and you are acquainted. Meng is willing to make friends with Brother Jiang, and ask Brother Jiang to help me tell you about your love."
Jiang Zhou's head was still aching, and the blood on his cheeks had scabbed. He was really angry with Yang Quan. But he didn't hit the smiling man. Besides, fighting in the army is normal. Did he really use the adult knife to cut someone on the head?"
He was hesitating. Yang Quan lay on the ground and shouted: "Sir, don't ask him. He has a big scar on his head. He will be a hero again twenty years later. He is not afraid of death!"
Meng Sihai turned around and cursed: "Get out of here, you know what's wrong!"
When Jiang Zhou heard this, he laughed. He sat on the table and laughed, "You guy, you want it. You dare to cut my head, hehe, I don't want it."
He turned his head to Yang Ling and said, "General, we are coming from all the way to fight the Japanese pirates with him. Seeing that he had the strength to fight the Japanese pirates, he would have the strength to kill him. If you kill now, it would be better to let him kill a few more Japanese people. Please forgive him for your kindness and forgive him for his sins."
Yang Ling Zhanyan smiled and said, "Okay! If you say that, I will sell you face and spare him for his death. Humph! Not only him, but originally... Even if these personal soldiers who caused trouble are not all killed, I will ask you two personal soldiers. Since he has sent the heads of his land, I will not do anything. Let the two of them let go for the time being!"
He raised his voice and said, "But the death penalty is forbidden, and the living penalty is hard to spare. You people disrupt military discipline and harm the houses. The compensation should be taken from your military pay. Your sins will be recorded by the secretary. When the Japanese pirates are put down, I will decide whether to reward or punish based on your military merits!"
He waved his hand, and the soldiers who carried out military law stopped and retreated to both sides with military sticks. Yang Ling raised his voice and said, "Is it very glorious to fight for the dinner table? The military stick you are hit by is not hurt? You are a man who is forced to speak up? According to my official's opinion, you can only be considered a gangster, are you a real man, and you see the true story on the battlefield with the Japanese pirates.
Meng Sihai and Jiang Zhou were not strict in control, so he indulged in group fights, and they were demoted to half of the level and still led the original army to listen. Do you all think your heroes are? Go back and train well. After a few Japanese officials will send you to fight to kill the enemy, Shandong soldiers, Sichuan soldiers, and you two armies fight together. Who is the hero and who is the dog hero? Use your military merits to speak!"
Jiang Zhou and Meng Sihai looked at each other and bowed, "Don't obey the order!"
Yang Ling was about to ask someone to get a few sets of cars to get all the wounded soldiers back when someone ran forward and said, "Sir, Lord Liu, the governor, ask for a meeting."
Yang Ling was a little surprised when he heard this. Lord Liu hurried into the yard. Seeing so many soldiers standing in the yard, he was startled. He saw Yang Ling. Then he withdrew his gaze and met him, "Oh, Lord Yang, I really had no choice but to come to see you. Please ask Lord to take charge of the gambler!"
Yang Lingqi said: "Mr. Liu, where did you start with this? What happened?"
Lord Liu said with a bitter face: "The wolves were stationed outside the East City, and they were randomly cut down the trees and set up houses to burn firewood, stealing the land. Some wolves also saw the remote people living in, so they simply robbed and robbed. Many gentry came to cry to the lower officials, and the lower officials ordered the inspector's office to check the truth. Unexpectedly... the yamen was beaten by the wolf soldiers and ran back in a mess. The lower officials were really helpless, so they could only ask you, Lord."
"Ah?" Yang Ling saw the wolf soldiers who fought bravely and were as brave as the officers and soldiers, and had high expectations for them. He thought they were a brave soldier with strict discipline and no offense to the people. Why is the military discipline so poor?
Yang Ling turned around and looked at Song Xiaoai in the corridor. Song Xiaoai opened her big black and white eyes and was looking at him for no reason. Yang Ling ordered helplessly: "Come here. Prepare a horse for me! General Song, please go and have a look with me..."
Yang Ling arrived outside the East City and found out the truth after a secret investigation. It turned out that these strong soldiers were placed outside the city and did not have enough military tents. However, they were used to living a hard life, so they didn't care about this, and they were all good at building wooden houses.
They originally lived on the mountain, but they never heard that the trees still had their own land, so they naturally cut them down when they saw them. The people came forward to argue, either because they didn't understand each other's language, or they felt that they were helping these people fight, and they were justified in cutting them down. So they ignored them at all.
Although these wolf soldiers are brave in fighting and are kind and simple to the people of their clan, they do not mean that they are very kind to everyone. Some soldiers steal and even loot some villagers. It turns out that the military pay for the Han soldiers in the land include settlement fees and grain, but according to the court rules, the wolf soldiers can only carry grain, one cent or two cents of silver per day, and one liter of military food per day.
However, the local officials in each state are very harsh about their own soldiers. If they cut off their heads during the war, they will pay the money according to the rules and will never be vague. However, they all deducted all the daily wages allocated by the court, and even most of the military rations were hidden. The wolf soldiers were not full at all, so how could they not steal or rob?
Yang Ling also felt a headache when he understood the truth. Ethnic issues have never been easy to deal with. The court could not deal with local officials as if they wanted to fight and kill them as Han officials. Although they knew that they had embezzled military pay and hid military food, once they were not handled properly, it would arouse ethnic conflicts and force strong men in various states to rebel.
Fortunately, Song Xiaoai was a descendant of Han officials and treated the tribal people with kindness. She was the most powerful and had the widest territory among the leaders of the states, so she had a high prestige. Under her strict constraints, the leaders of the states finally controlled all their people and did not allow them to disturb the people everywhere.
Yang Ling and Song Xiaoai discussed it privately and decided to send a military officer to assist the wolf soldiers in managing military pay. Although it is well known to everyone that the people are greedy for ink military pay, no one can open this layer of window paper.
Therefore, as the governor of the six provinces, Yang Ling had to arrange for military officers to be responsible for paying money and military prisons. As the leader of the six states, Song Xiaoai nodded and agreed, and they had nothing to say.
Yang Ling and Song Xiaoai had handled these things and were about to return to the city. Song Xiaoai suddenly said, "Governor General, you want to send a military officer to assist me in managing the food and grass. Can this person... send the general named Wu Di next to you?"
"Hmm?" Yang Ling looked at her inquiringly.
Song Xiaoai's face was a little hot. She didn't know how she could say this, but when she thought of fighting side by side with the young general with high martial arts skills, her heart suddenly felt a little hot.
She mustered up the courage to say, "General Wu's superb martial arts is very admirable, so I really want to have the opportunity to ask him for advice. Since the adults want to send military officers to the position of the rank of the position of the low position... I want to... this can be considered a killing of two birds with one stone."
When Yang Ling saw this cheerful and generous girl suddenly became sucked, she couldn't help but feel moved. Xiao Wu had outstanding character and excellent martial arts skills. Could it be that General Song was treating him...
It is the most reassuring for Xiao Wu to come to manage military supplies. In addition, the seven-man infantry battle method of Zhuang's family is extremely clever and has great practical value. Send Xiao Wu to learn it back and can be applied to the army. Furthermore, now it seems that wolves are brave, but it is really difficult to control. If the female leader's heart is all about Wu Hanchao, how can she not cooperate fully and do her best in the fight against bandits? Well... three goals are worth it at one stroke, and this deal is cost-effective.
Yang Ling thought of this and smiled and said, "What's the difficulty? I will return to the city and let General Wu stay in your army."
Yang Ling left the tent, called Wu Hanchao and gave him instructions, and asked him to stay in the Wolf Army as a military officer. He brought Liu Dabangcui and other personal soldiers back to the city. He hurried to the backyard and asked Cheng Qiyun to immediately allocate a batch of food and grass to the Wolf Army. After saying the matter, he suddenly remembered another thing and said, "By the way, where did you arrange Yang Quan...uh...3rd brother? I forgot to ask when I came to Jiangnan this time."
Cheng Qiyun was stunned and said in surprise: "Why... suddenly remembered him?"
Yang Ling smiled and said, "Today, Sichuan soldiers and Shandong soldiers fought in a group. There was a Shandong soldiers named Yang Quan. Because of the same pronunciation, I remembered this incident."
Cheng Qiyun had already learned from Gao Wenxin that Yang Quan had taken advantage of Yang Ling's critical illness and coveting Yang Ling's property and wife. How could such a villain Yang Ling really care? At least it was not until now that Yang Ling remembered that there was such a relative in Jiangnan, which showed that Yang Quan had no status in his heart. With this judgment, she had a clear mind.
With Dailouer's usual style, she has always removed the people who dare to infringe on her interests in cold blood. Now, her heart has been completely tied to Yang Ling without realizing it. All Yangling's interests, all joys, angers, sorrows and happiness have become her goal of maintaining her efforts at all costs.
In her eyes, as long as it is not good for Yang Ling, it is necessary to get rid of the ground. As for right and wrong, she would not consider it at all. Her tenderness, love and care are only for Yang Ling. She has suffered torture and deception since childhood, and her heart has been tempered as iron and stone, and she has no cheap pity for others.
A villain like Yang Quan who is arrogant and arrogant will only have bad consequences for the reputation of Yangling's local officials. Sooner or later, he will become the weapon used by the censors to attack Yangling's local officials if he makes mistakes. For such potential danger, with her personality, how could she sit and watch it become a fact one day?
However, although Yang Quan is shameless, he is a member of the Yang clan. Cheng Qiyun couldn't figure out how much Yang Ling valued the clan blood relatives, and she didn't dare to touch him for a while, so she found a tax official in Jinling for Yang Quan, and wanted to find out Yang Ling's opinion before talking about it.
After Yang Ling came to Jiangnan, she didn't mention this cousin, and she felt confident that she began to secretly plan to get rid of this person who covet Yang Ling's wife, family wealth, and cling to the powerful but misconduct.
Just after hearing Yang Ling's question, she thought she had miscalculated Yang Ling's mentality, so she couldn't help but feel a little panicked. After listening to his explanation, Cheng Qiyun felt relieved.
She smiled sweetly and said, "Brother Yang..., the third brother has always hoped to be successful and famous like an adult, and was granted an official title to a marquis. Bei Zhi originally arranged a tax collector for the third brother in Jinling, but the third brother only wanted to make military achievements, but he was not in military affairs and could be said to have no way to serve the country. When Bei Zhi discussed with Mr. Peng to summon the giant thief Wang Meiren of Anputuo Mountain, the third brother learned the news and volunteered to go up the mountain.
It should be known that the officers and soldiers recruit bandits, as usual, should arrange hostages to calm their hearts. At the same time, this person is responsible for conveying messages to both sides and playing an envoy. However, the news of Wang Meiren's surrender to the court is still under blockade. In order to cover up people's eyes, I arranged for Yang San Ge to surrender to Wang Meiren as a giant thief in the north. Now he is the second in command of Putuo Mountain."
When Yang Ling heard this, he couldn't believe his ears, and his chin was almost falling: "What? You asked him to pretend to be a thief from the north and go to the pirate group to be the second in command? He... is he that piece of material?"
He said laughingly and cryingly: "How can you let him do whatever he wants because of his identity? What big things can he do? The second in command! Alas! It's almost the same for him to be a mountain guardian for Guanyin Master in the Purple Bamboo Forest of Putuo Mountain."
Cheng Qiyun laughed and said, "Don't worry, sir, Brother Yang is now full of his talents and uses everything. He is doing it in Putuo Mountain with great excitement!"
"The Second Head, the anchor is up!" a pirate said respectfully.
"Well, set sail!" Yang Quan stepped on the boat clapper and waved his hand vigorously.
"Crazy..." The huge sails on three sides were thrown down from above, and the barefoot sailors were running hurriedly on the deck. The hull shook and slowly left the dock. The three-masted wooden boat sailed more than a hundred feet out of the bay. The pirates adjusted the canvas of the ship and began to accelerate toward the northeast.
The sea breeze blows, with a hint of saltiness, which makes people feel very comfortable. Yang Quan looks back at the shadow of the mountain gradually distant and smiles: "Hey, he is a little bitch. When he is in Jinling, he plunders some money, drink some wine, and go to the kilns every day. How free and easy, I blame me for listening to the words of becoming a little bitch, saying that gold and silver are formed in the pirate's nest, and beauties from all over the world look like fairies in the sky.
As a result, I came here. I was just a pirate. I just talk about robbing the rich and helping the poor. I don’t robbing money. The pirates on the island are usually like fishermen. There are not many beautiful women, but they are all pirates’ wives. They are so moved that they are so hard that they are pulled by several bandits to drink wine all day long. They live dizzy every day.”
The waves slapped the hull, and the feeling of being heavy and light came again. Yang Quan was afraid that he would fall into the water, so he hurriedly left the side of the boat carefully.
The real name of Wang Meiren is Wang Xian. She is thin and weak. When he was in a kidnapping transaction in the past, he was chased by the officers and soldiers and fled with his subordinates. After Wang Xian fled into a village, he saw that the pursuers were very anxious, so he shaved his beard in desperation, put on a woman's clothes and swayed towards the pursuers, and actually escaped.
After Peng Fugui and his gang of old pirates found out about this, he laughed at him. He was nicknamed Wang Meiren. Now he commanded nearly 10,000 pirates, controlled six islands, and became one of the four giant gangs on the water. However, Wang Xian's name is less known. The pirates called him prince in person, but he still called him Wang Meiren behind him.
Recently, Japanese pirates have been rampant, and the imperial court has been very anxious to suppress the Japanese. The water business is not easy to do. It turns out that the pirate Cao Tianchong, who defected to the sea dog, and Wang Meiren's subordinates robbed the business, but they were beaten to pieces, so they simply defected to Wang Meiren.
The people of Haigouzi never talked about morality, and they did everything they wanted to abduct money and sex. Yang Quan heard that there were women from Korea, Japan, Ryukyu, Yizhou and Hangzhou who were captured on Dulong Island in Cao Tianpeng. They were very lustful and then they pretended to be powerful. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the second head of Putuo Mountain to patrol the island, they wanted to go and open foreign meat.
Chapter completed!
