Go back to the Ming Dynasty to be a thousand households

Chapter 228 General, You Should Be Domineering

Of the [-] pacesetters, except Liu Ming'an took some away and Governor Yang Fanglue accepted some, the remaining [-] pacesetters had no jobs.They are not willing to let them return to ordinary battalion soldiers.After all, as a family member and a soldier, the food and salary are sufficient, and generally they will not be deducted. Casualties and illnesses are guaranteed by the head of the family.As an ordinary battalion soldier, not to mention no benefits, after a year, it is considered good to get half of the food and salary.The two cannot be compared at all.

Everyone had various thoughts, and when they heard that the new chief soldier Huang Laifu was coming, they all looked forward to it, hoping that Huang Laifu would accept them.And they are confident that as long as Huang Laifu can take them in, they will make everything go smoothly for Huang Laifu in Ningwuguan. After all, they are also the local snakes in Ningwuguan, right?The new Chief Soldier will definitely need them.

Liu Quanli was originally a local military household, and because of his meritorious service, he became a general, and was later appreciated by Liu Ming'an, who promoted him as his personal entourage.However, after Liu Ming'an fell from power, he was unwilling to follow him to that bitter cold place in Guangdong, but stayed in Ningwu Pass, wholeheartedly wanting to serve the new master Huang Laifu.He also inquired about it. Huang Laifu was generous in his actions, and he was always very generous to his relatives and family members.If you can keep up with him, you will be rich.

So at this time, he kept smiling and talked with Xu Xueshi, Huang Laifu's eldest brother-in-law, although Xu Xueshi was only a guerrilla, and Liu Quanli was a general.But Liu Quanli is a younger brother who takes one bite at a time. He is extremely respectful, and he just inquires about Huang Laifu.Fortunately, the eldest brother-in-law Xu Xueshi is a kind person, and he always answers Liu Quanli's words.

"Huang Junmen was promoted to the high position of commander-in-chief at such a young age. This is something that has never happened in the country. The last general really admires him..."

"Huang Junmen is really brave and brave. He first defeated the captives under the Wuzhai Fortress, then made great contributions to the Ningxia city, and even spread his prestige in foreign lands. He is really a pillar of our Ming Dynasty..."

"Huang Junmen's talents are outstanding. Hearing about the matter of farming, the Holy Majesty is also full of praise for him..."

"Huang Junmen..."

Liu Quanli was eloquent, his face was getting more and more slick, and his saliva was about to flow out. He just flattered Huang Laifu from a distance in front of Xu Xueshi.Hearing this, the generals around him all had contemptuous expressions in their eyes, thinking that Liu Quanli is really shameless, first abandoning his old master Liu Ming'an, and now wanting to join his new master Huang Laifu, we are really ashamed of him Wu.But in front of Xu Xueshi and Xu Xueshi, everyone still agreed.

Seeing everyone's appearance, Mr. Zhang Wenbao frowned secretly, but he still stroked his beard without saying a word, just looking ahead.

Among the welcoming crowd, Sun Zhiqu, the commander of Ningwuguan, just waited for Huang Laifu's arrival with anticipation. Archives, military households and other things.

Like the military forts of the guards in various places, the military households in Ningwuguan are also poorly clothed and their lives are very difficult.These military household banner troops are different from the local battalion soldiers. The local battalion soldiers can still get military pay, but the banner troops have nothing, and how many grains of the farmland have to be handed over every year.Up to now, more than half of the military households in Ningwuguan have fled, and they are still fleeing every year.As a result, the fields under the names of him and the officers were not cultivated.He didn't know why this happened, and now none of the military households in Wuzhaibao thought of fleeing?
Regarding Huang Laifu, Sun Zhiqu also inquired about him, and knew that he started with thousands of households farming, and he was in the same guard system as him.He also knew about Wuzhaibao. It used to be a poorer place than Ningwuguan. Why did it change so much in just a few years?Sun Zhiqu didn't understand. He hoped that after Huang Laifu came, he could ask him for advice.

At this moment, the crowd in front of the city gate suddenly became commotion, and everyone said: "Here, come, Huang Junmen is here."

Everyone raised their eyes and saw flags like clouds on the avenue in front of them. Behind the big yellow flag, an armored cavalry was rolling in, with great momentum.All the generals breathed a sigh of relief. They had heard for a long time that Huang Laifu was good at training soldiers. The officers and soldiers of Wuzhai Fort were all strong and strong.

The military horses arrived in front of the crowd, their armor shining, and the horses strong. The Wuzhaibao sergeants on the horse were all full of vigor, and all of them were covered with refined iron armor, and they were all full of arrogance.That kind of mighty look surprised everyone, and it turns out that Huang Laifu's soldiers and horses are not bragging.

The people of Ningwuguan who were watching not far away were all sucking in the air-conditioning and discussing a lot. After watching the local bean curd soldiers in Ningwuguan for a long time, and then seeing Huang Laifu's elite soldiers, they were really not used to it.Although the former commander-in-chief and the troops under the governor's bid claimed to be elite, they were far behind the Wuzhaibao army.

Just a joke, Huang Laifu's soldiers eat well, dress well, and train hard, and they are all elite soldiers who have fought bloody battles in the past few years, and they are also selected servants.How can it be compared with the army and horses in Ningwuguan who have insufficient food and wages.

Soon, Huang Laifu's army came in front of the generals. Even if they didn't need to put on any momentum, the natural oppressive force made many people dare not show their anger.

It wasn't until Huang Laifu got off the horse that everyone seemed to wake up and stepped forward to greet him.Because Mr. Zhang Wenbao is here, although he is only a fifth-rank official, he is faintly the leader of everyone.

Zhang Wenbao stepped forward to salute and said: "Huang Junmen, Ma Jianjun, the soldiers have worked hard all the way here, and the officials are here to welcome the two adults!"

At this moment, all the generals in front of the city gate came to their senses and stepped forward to salute one after another. Among them, Ningwu General Liu Quanli was the most gracious.Huang Laifu greeted everyone with a smile for a while, and met the generals of various military forts, including Beiloukou General, Hequ County General, Guangwu Station Guard, Shuiquan Camp Guard, Daizhou General, Fenzhou General, Ping Xingguan Shouwei and others met his two brothers-in-law again.

However, there were a lot of people to greet them, and it was not easy to talk at the gate of the city. Huang Laifu said a few words to them roughly, and he planned to have a good chat with these people after he moved into Ningwu.

Mr. Zhang Wenbao said: "Huang Junmen, Ma Jianjun, Governor Yang, Master Liu of the military preparation department, and a group of official officials in the leadership association are waiting for each other at the governor's office. Please come to the city to meet at the military gate!"

Huang Laifu nodded and said, "So, all officers and men, let's go into the city!"

At present, Huang Laifu, father-in-law Ma Jiuying, Lord Zhang Wenbao, a group of generals rode their horses in front, and [-] servants of Wuzhai Fort followed behind. The crowd rolled into Ningwu City, hitting the stone-paved street with their iron hooves, and the momentum was astonishing. .

Huang Laifu looked around, and saw that the city wall of Ningwuguan was tall and strong, with a height of 11 meters. Although the city wall was built with loess, it was still majestic.There are also many forts and watchtowers around, forming a complete guard system.It is worthy of being a town, no wonder Li Zicheng, a thief in history, suffered heavy losses here.

After entering the city, Ningwu Pass showed its original shape. The houses on both sides of the street were low and dilapidated, the streets were dirty and potholed, and garbage was everywhere.The military households walking on the street were in ragged clothes, and there were many refugees and beggars.Even the battalion soldiers who were paid, many of them had tattered armor and numb expressions.This kind of image may be inconsistent with the town.

Seeing Huang Laifu's army coming in, the soldiers and civilians on the street hurried to both sides of the street, watching all this in awe and curiosity.The further you go, the more crowded the two sides are with the local people who heard the news and came to see the excitement.

The voices of people's admiration kept coming, everyone was shocked by the strength and strength of the Wuzhaibao army, and the eyes of many people, apart from awe, were also filled with anticipation.Most of them have heard of Huang Laifu's reputation, and they only hope that after Huang Laifu arrives at Ningwuguan, he can change the local life.

In addition to these locals, there are also some foreign merchants in the local area, many of whom are from Wuzhai Fort. Unlike the awe of others, they are very kind to the children from Wuzhai Fort.They all walked out of the shop and cheered to the rolling Wuzhaibao troops. Many people also took out firecrackers and set off firecrackers, and there was an endless sound of "crack, clap, clap" in the street.

"What's going on outside?"

In the lobby of the governor's yamen, Yang Fanglue, the governor of Shanxi Town, Liu Tangsheng, the soldier of Ningwuguan, and some officials were sitting in the lobby according to their rank and rank, discussing the matter of Huang Laifu.The collar is narrow and the sleeves are narrow, and the chest and back of the robe are decorated with bird patches, and the room is full of civil servants.

While discussing, he suddenly heard the sound of firecrackers exploding far and near. Governor Yang frowned and said, "What happened outside?"

Soon a family member came in and said excitedly: "My lord, the horsemen from the Huangjun Gate have already entered the city. The streets are crowded with people, full of spectators. Many people from Shang's hometown even set off firecrackers!"

Governor Yang glanced at him, snorted coldly, and said a little sourly: "A martial artist is here to invite people's hearts!"

All the officials also responded to Governor Yang's words one after another. In their words, they all looked down upon Huang Laifu.

The soldier Liu Tangsheng also said: "He is a warrior, and he doesn't know how to avoid suspicion. Can he do these things?"

Governor Yang snorted coldly: "You don't need to pay attention to him, wait until Huang Laifu comes!"

Huang Laifu and others came to the Governor's Yamen. Before crossing Qibaihu Street, Huang Laifu ordered the local army general to arrange his [-] troops into the barracks to rest.Liu Quanli volunteered to arrange Wuzhaibao soldiers and horses into the original pacesetter barracks, which made Huang Laifu have a good impression of him.Huang Laifu planned to let his soldiers and horses rest for a while, and wait until tomorrow after he had a good look at the barracks in the city, whether they need to be repaired or improved at that time.

At this time, Huang Laifu brought his entourage Yang Xiaolu, Gu Dadao and others, as well as his third sister-in-law Tian Dafu, and many generals from all over Shanxi Town, among the crowd, they came to the governor's office in the city. forward.

But at first glance, the door was deserted, and there was no one to greet them. Everyone was a little embarrassed, even Mr. Zhang Wenbao frowned.Huang Laifu remained calm, but he was quite angry in his heart. The governor of Shanxi Town and others don't take themselves too seriously, right?

Since these people don't give themselves face so much, then I don't need to give them face either.Originally, Huang Laifu was a businessman, whether he wanted to be humble or domineering, it just depends on the need.

Generally speaking, in the hearts of the ancient high-ranking people, it is more reassuring to see military commanders flying and domineering, because these people rarely buy the hearts of scholars. In Daming, Li Rusong is an example.And those generals who are modest and prudent are even more suspicious, suspecting that they are suspected of being Huo Guang Wang Mang.

Huang Laifu decided to imitate Li Rusong and be a bit more arrogant in front of these civil servants.

He snorted and said to everyone: "Go, enter the yamen!"
