Back to the end of Ming Dynasty to be a warlord

Chapter 169 Leave
All the soldiers were disbanded and returned to their respective barracks, but there were still two people who did not leave.

They were not officers, at least not yet.

"Li Liang, Zhang Dun, why haven't you left yet?"

Yang Chao couldn't help being puzzled.

But the two knelt down at the same time, and said in unison: "I will thank you for saving my life through the blood, and I implore you to accept me as a family member. I will be born as the Yang family and die as the ghost of the Yang family!"

Households are also domestic slaves. Rich families have the habit of taking housekeepers to protect the courtyard, military officers also have the habit of taking housekeepers, and ordinary servants are also taken as personal soldiers. In this way, they can also receive a military salary and let the court help support the family.

Moreover, the imperial court has long acquiesced in this habit, because officers often deduct soldiers' salaries, but are willing to give rich rewards to their servants. When military discipline was corrupted in the late Ming Dynasty, these servants often became the most effective private soldiers. The imperial court needed such a group of capable soldiers. Soldiers fighting, so acquiesced.

But Yang Chao has never taken in a servant, and the four personal soldiers like Lao Zhang are only temporary, most of the time they have to board the ship.

The reason for this is that Yang Chao still didn't fit in with the Ming Dynasty's practice. A soldier is a soldier, and a servant is a servant. Yang Chao is very unwilling to accept it.

Unexpectedly, these two people were so grateful for their blood transfusion that they were willing to sacrifice themselves as slaves.

Yang Chao helped them up and said: "If you are my servants, I will change my surname and make you sell your body and forget your ancestors. I really can't bear it, but I can accept you as my own soldiers. From now on, I will follow by my side Bar."

Yang Chao has already taken in the sons of Li Fu and Chen Kuan, and he has long thought of pulling a team of soldiers, but it is definitely not only for protecting himself, but for elite soldiers like a company of guards, elite soldiers who can rush to kill at critical moments Death Squad, so Li Liang and Zhang Dun, two seriously wounded people who walked through the gate of hell, are very suitable.

The two were unsuccessful in begging for family members, but they were granted the status of personal soldiers. They were full of joy, and after being helped up by Yang Chao, they bowed and worshiped.

"Thank you for your promotion, sir. We will swear to protect you to the death. With us here, we will not let you lose a hair!"

Yang Chao tried his best to say: "It's easy to do. Now go back to the camp."

"Yes!"

The two saluted.

"Disband!"

"Yes!"

The two of them left now, and looked back at Yang Chao from time to time.

These two people really wanted to save their lives.

But Yang Chao never cared about it. He just thought it was a blood transfusion, but these two people firmly believed that Yang Chao put his life on them so that they could live. Consciousness, the entire military camp has this kind of understanding, thinking that Yang Chao's blood transfusion to these two people is to save their lives, and it is to exchange Yang Chao's life for their lives.

They all felt that Yang Chao's life must have been shortened. Some said that his life would be shortened by ten years, and some said that it would be ten years off for each of them, for a total of twenty years.

Therefore, the soldiers in the entire barracks felt that Yang Chao was a righteous officer, especially these two people, who were even more grateful. When they were still unable to walk, they insisted on being supported and kowtowed to Yang Chao.

However, after the blood transfusion, they recovered quickly.

This made Yang Chao admire the tenacious vitality of the people of the Ming Dynasty. The death rate in this era was extremely high, and the child mortality rate was extremely high. It is not easy for a person to grow up. When Yang Chao was young, his parents always worried about raising children. If I don't live, I always want to have another son, but unfortunately my mother can't conceive after giving birth to Yang Yue, which makes my father still worry about it.

It is probably because of this high elimination rate that the survivors are all people with excellent innate qualities, they are not easy to get sick, and their lives are more tenacious.

Li Liang and Zhang Dun were like this. Yang Chao remembered that after the carotid artery was injured, if the blood transfusion was not timely, they might die within three to five minutes. Tian Yang Chao gave them a blood transfusion and finally survived.

Putting it on the people of later generations, Yang Chao felt that [-]% of them might not be able to endure it.

Because Yang Chao has been living in the barracks, Chen Yuanyuan and Dong Xiaowan have repeatedly asked to live in the wing room, thinking that it is inappropriate for them to occupy the main room and squeeze Yang Chao outside.

So the mother finally agreed to let the younger sister go to squeeze with Chen and Dong, and let Yang Chao come back to live, otherwise everyone would not get used to it.

The house of the Yang family is newly built, and the furniture has not been used for a long time, so there is not much to clean. There are nearly a hundred maids in the house, let alone the Yang family. The mother finds it boring, and in the past years she yelled at her husband. , the scene of the son and daughter cleaning is gone, which makes her feel a little useless.

Think about it when you are bored.

He even quarreled with his father.

The reason for the quarrel was Yang Chao's marriage, and the objects were two beauties, Chen and Dong. The mother already knew the identities of the two women, and she lamented that it was a pity, otherwise such two beauties should be suitable for her son.

But my father said that taking a concubine is fine. He said that taking a concubine and sex, marrying a wife and virtue, and marrying a wife should naturally be of the same family. There is no need to be so particular about taking a concubine, as long as it is good-looking.

As a result, the sentence of concubine and sex angered the mother.

My father was not to be outdone, and said that when he was in Hangzhou, didn't many children of high-ranking officials and rich families take prostitutes as concubines.

The mother was even more angry and yelled loudly.

Yang Chao secretly asked his sister, and it turned out that his parents had a big fight when they were in Hangzhou.

The reason was that the father somehow moved his mind to take a concubine. The purpose was very simple, that is, he wanted to have another son.

He really acted, the father took a fancy to the daughter of a small family, she was pretty, and was willing to be his concubine.

As a result, the mother was so jealous that she not only disagreed, but also yelled and scolded the father for being heartless, saying that she gave birth to a son and a daughter for the Yang family, and in the end she would end up being bullied and humiliated by the concubine.

Yang Chao felt that it was better not to get involved with this muddled account, so he hid out with an excuse, saying that there was a social meeting.

After this time of scholars making noise, although Yang Chao did not appear in the public eye, everyone with energy knows that Yang Chao is a figure behind the scenes, mobilizing various forces in Nanjing's officialdom, not only Ying Tianfu, governor, six departments, but also Jin Yiwei and other key yamen, this made many people see Yang Chao's strength, and they started to make friends with each other, so they kept making promises all the time.

Most of them were shunned by Yang Chao, but Xiong Mingyu, Huang Jin and other high-ranking officials had to go to the banquet, and they also went at the invitation of Tianfu and Jiangning County. Feng Kezong, the new commander of Jinyiwei, also had to give face.

In this way, you can go out every day.

It's just a pain for Chen Yuanyuan and Dong Xiaowan. Since mother learned of their identities as prostitutes, she has not been as enthusiastic towards them as before. After arguing with her father, she has no good looks towards them.

The two of them didn't live together, nor did they live together, so it was very awkward, so they could only hide in the room and not come out all day.

They also discussed with Yang Chao, hoping to let them leave. Yang Chao had no reason to refuse, because the scholar's quarrel was over, so he agreed to live in Bian's house.

Yang Yue is fascinated by the demeanor of Chen Yuanyuan and Dong Xiaowan, sticking to them all day long, imitating their walking and talking intentionally or unintentionally.

Gradually, she really has the demeanor of a big lady.

The departure of these two people made her very disappointed.
