Chapter 275 is not a good person
In just half a day, the eight villages in Xiamawu were greatly harmed, and it was thanks to Gao Jin's troops to rescue him. Otherwise, he would have been afraid that the casualties would be even more serious. But even so, most of the five villages were burned down.
In front of Baihu Mansion in Xiamawu, the seized military tent was filled with villagers who had lost their homes.
Although Ma Dacheng is not a good person, Mawu is his place after all. Even if he exploits military households and treats the people under his command as pigs and dogs, Xu Tong, an old dog, is too cruel. He has a 100 households like him and has lost a population of villages under his command. How can he maintain it?
So when Gao Jin captured Xu Tong alive and returned victoriously, Ma Dacheng also ran out of Baihu Mansion. If Hu Yanping hadn't been in front of him, he would have wanted to swallow Xu Tong alive.
"Brother Huyan, this old dog belongs to you."
Get off the horse immediately, Gao Jin led Xu Tong, who was tied up with one hand and threw it to Hu Yanping's feet.
Seeing Xu Tong with bloody hair disheveled behind his broken arm, Hu Yanping grabbed his hair, picked him up, stared at the twisted and ferocious face and scolded, "Old dog, what are the people of Hongsi? You actually committed a murder..."
"Hu Yanping, if you want to blame the Gao surname, you will blame the person in the name of Gao. If he hadn't led my troops out of the city, how could he have harmed your Hongsi'er?"
Xu Tong, who had been bumping halfway on the horse's back and only half of his life, was pinched by Hu Yanping at this time, but he felt as if he was looking back, but his mouth was knocked down. He was speechless when he spoke, but everyone around him could understand.
Seeing that Xu Tong, the old dog, was about to die, and even framed his second brother, Wang Dou and Yang Dayan were furious. If they weren't stopped by Chen Sheng and others, they would probably have to tear Xu Tong on the spot.
"Hey... Hu Yanping... your woman... is very moist, and your mother..."
Xu Tong knew that he had no chance to survive. At the moment, he only wanted to die quickly. He immediately laughed and exasperated Hu Yanping.
"Old dog, I'll kill you."
Hu Yanping was furious when he heard those words. If Ma Dacheng, who also hated Xu Tong, had he been holding his arm tightly, he would have been beaten to death immediately.
"Brother Huyan, you can't just be so cheap!"
Ma Dacheng's roar awakened Hu Yanping, and then everyone was shocked when they saw Hu Yanping, who was originally a straightforward man, let go of Xu Tong.
"Master, Hu Yanping's life will be yours in the future."
Hu Yanping suddenly knelt down towards Gao Jin, Gao Jin stepped forward and held him, but unexpectedly, Hu Yanping knelt down with determination. He did not even support Hu Yanping with both arms, so he could only accept Hu Yanping's bow.
"Second brother, how to deal with this old dog?"
Seeing that Hu Yanping recognized his second brother as the main one, Chen Sheng and the others were all happy. Speaking of Hekou Fort, there were no such powerful generals as Hu Yanping who were good at using heavy weapons. Even though Teacher Cheng was also very skilled in martial arts, Hu Yanping was probably better than everyone else in this rushing forward, that is, Zhang Chonggu might be able to compete with one.
"Take it down and you will be raised. He wants to die quickly, but we cannot do what he wants."
Looking at Xu Tong who was lying on the ground and looking gray, Gao Jin said coldly, "This old dog is so vicious, how can he give him some pleasure?"
When Xu Tong was dragged down, he cursed Gao Jin and shouted Yanping and others in a vague manner. But everyone thought it was the wailing of a dog. Now that Xiamawu is broken, the people who are suffering have been dealt with, Ma Dacheng has opened a granary of the Baihu Mansion, which can not provide much relief.
"There are still defeated soldiers on the run, and dozens of other cavalry fled into Motianling."
Although Xu Tong's army was defeated, there were still many things to end the aftermath. Gao Jin's troops this time took up too little troops. Even though he wiped out the main force of the Shenmu Fort's battalion, the hundreds of officers and soldiers who fled in all directions were unable to search the field and capture them all.
Even if the honest and useless officers and soldiers are hungry in the wild, they will easily gather into thieves and harm the village. Gao Jin cannot just pat his butt and leave like this, not to mention that hundreds of refugees in Mawu need a way out.
"The cavalry who fled into the Motianling Mountains were not concerned, and the remaining fleeing officers and soldiers were selected from the captured officers and soldiers with prestige. A Dou Big Eyes, take these people with them and go to places where the defeated soldiers could hide the enemy, telling them that we will only punish the evil forces and never investigate them. Xu Tong and the soldiers who did evil will not be their business, so they will surrender."
"Ma Baihu, I will pick some people for you and escort the people of Mawu to Shenmu Fort to eat. When Xu Ni colludes with the White Lotus bandits, he will report it to the court, and I believe the court will have relief at that time."
After Xu Tong was taken away, Gao Jin immediately started a serious business. The defeated soldiers had to gather them, and the suffering people had to find a way out for them. The food stored by the hundreds of households in Ma Dacheng alone could not withstand the consumption of hundreds of people. Moreover, there was a group of White Lotus Sect bandits in Motianling that had not been dealt with.
Gao Jin knew in his heart that if the court wanted to take out real money and silver to help the people of Shenmubao, there must be enough benefits to exchange them.
Xu Tong, the rebellion of Thousand Houses, was just a mustard for the imperial center, which was thousands of miles away, and not to mention that it was immediately put down. The casualties reported by the people were just a few numbers in the eyes of the Lord. Now the court has been shouting that the cost is insufficient, and this is short of money and that is also short of money. Whenever there is disaster relief, it is counting on the emperor's internal anger to take out the money.
Gao Jin heard from Fan Xiu'an that the flood of water last year was flooded, and in the end the emperor only allocated 30,000 taels of silver to provide relief. The land like Shenmu Fort, which was blocked by the walls, was caused by the military disasters caused by Qiu Ba, so civil officials would not take it seriously, let alone the emperor who had become more and more stingy since the three major expeditions.
So Gao Jinfei took this Motianling, and the White Lotus Sect only made a final decision for Xu Tong to plot against rebellion and chaos. The copper mine mentioned by Lu Da was supplied to the emperor for silver and materials for the imperial court to provide disaster relief.
Wang Dou and Yang Dayan took the order and left. Zhang Jian was a ruthless man. He killed the soldiers of Shenmu Fort and had already scared the officers and soldiers. The surrendered No. 400 squatted in the white line drawn by Zhang Jian, and no one dared to escape at all.
Ma Dacheng personally came forward to appease the people under his rule. Even though he, a hundred households, were usually very trash, but after Xu Tong's army was poisoned by the murder, the people at Ma Dacheng were still willing to obey Ma Dacheng's orders.
"What the people ask for is so simple, even if they are cows and horses, they just want to live."
In front of the Baihu Mansion, Gao Jin watched Ma Dacheng appease the people under his rule, those people who were usually exploited were grateful and couldn't help but sigh leisurely, saying that the people of the Ming Dynasty were really good people who were used to being submissive. If they didn't force them to the point where they could not survive, they could endure it, even if they lived worse than the cow and horse.
"Grandmaster, I heard from Teacher Cheng that everyone in Hekoubao is rich and not as good as our rule..."
Hu Yanping, who had already vowed to serve Gao Jin, could not help but speak when he heard Gao Jin's sigh. Although he surrendered to the hundred households in Fengzigou that day, he still wanted to be a chastity. The coach Cheng was very patient and told him a lot about Hekoubao, and he was skeptical.
"It's not a good thing, I just do my best to make the people of Haguchi Castle live like a person."
Gao Jin looked at Hu Yanping and said, "He didn't know what the situation is in Shenmu Fort right now. Even if Liu Xun takes Shenmu Fort, he will probably not be able to support the thousands of refugees for too long. He just hopes that Shenmu County can allocate some food to rescue emergency first."
"Life like a person!"
Hu Yanping laughed silently. Gao Ye's words sound simple, but it is so difficult to do. Even when he was in Hongsi, everyone said that he was a disgusting person. However, the people under the rule were not as good as cows and horses. They could still have free time to rest and eat enough, but the people worked all day long and could not eat enough, and even had no clothes to cover themselves.
Cattle and horses are property, and the owners still cherish them. The poor people starve to death but no one cares about them! This is the world!
Before nightfall, Wang Dou and Yang Dayan led more than 200 escaped soldiers back. The officers and soldiers of Shenmu Fort who were used by Xu Tong to make up for the numbers were mostly honest farmers. They had never left their villages in their lives. This time they came to the dock for the first time.
After they ran away during the day, they did not dare to burrow into the wild forests of the Motianling Mountains. They just went in groups of three or five, or more than a dozen people, and they stayed in secluded places. After the evening, they could not see clearly, so they did not dare to run around.
Thanks to Gao Jin, Wang Douyang Bigyan, brought the old men with some prestige among the surrendered officers and soldiers. At their call, the hungry escaped officers and soldiers ran out to surrender, and then they were like snowballing. In less than two hours, Wang Douyang Bigyan and others brought everyone back. Although there must be some people who missed the net, the two of them were unwilling to delay their efforts to continue searching.
The lit torches illuminated the white scene where the prisoners were imprisoned, and squeezed out almost 600 prisoners. Looking down from the earth platform, it was full of people. For the officers and soldiers of Shenmubao who were used by Xu Tong as cannon fodder, they were still confused and didn't know what was going on.
Before leaving Shenmu Fort, Xu Tong, the Qianhu Lord, said to them that the Baihu House in Hekou Fort colluded with the White Lotus Sect to rebel. What they saw along the way also confirmed what the Qianhu Lord said: Gao Yanluo was extremely cruel and poisoned the people, making them all fearful.
During the daytime battle, everyone saw how those soldiers who were usually proud of themselves were defeated by Gao Yanluo's soldiers. In the end, few survived. Xu Tong, the Qianhu Lord, finally thought that an old dog with a broken spine was captured by Gao Yanluo and captured.
But when they were captured, they heard Gao Yanluo's soldiers say that it was Xu Tong, the Thousand Houses, who colluded with the White Lotus bandits, and planned to create a method. For these farmers who had been dealing with the Yellow Land for most of their lives, they didn't know who they should believe. Xu Tong, the Thousand Houses, was not a good thing, but Gao Yanluo was indeed very cruel. Hundreds of soldiers killed them at any time.
Looking at the crowded and uneasy prisoners below, Gao Jin knew what he said, and these prisoners might not believe it, so he simply asked Ma Dacheng, the hundreds of households in Xiamawu and the victims to explain the situation to these prisoners.
Sure enough, when Ma Dacheng revealed his identity, he expressed his long-standing argument. Xu Tong had already secretly colluded with the White Lotus Sect bandits and privately summoned the hundreds of households to force them to rebel, but unexpectedly the matter was revealed. Therefore, Xu Tong was so crazy that he summoned the troops of Shenmu Fort and sent people to pretend to be Gao Jinbing and Ma Tu Village to commit slander.
If Ma Dacheng said that, it was just a matter of half-believing and half-doubting. When the villagers in Mawu proved Gao Jin's innocence, they all believed it. It was really because everyone was a mud-legged farming farming. Is he lying? You can tell at a glance that the officers and soldiers only realized that Xu Tong, the Qianhu, had become a foregone conclusion.
"You are all deceived by Xu Ni. You are not considered Xu Ni's gangsters, but the court blames you, but you will never be punished."
