Back to the end of Ming Dynasty to be a warlord

Chapter 228 The Strong Man Steals the Horse
After the battle, the old man Bian Rang hoped to come to the army again, but this time his confidence was much weaker, because after seeing Yang Chao openly claiming to divide the gold and silver, he was a bit unable to sell the little gold he had for the army.

Before the old man left, Haizhou City also sent people. It was already dark at this time, and the people from Haizhou were almost beheaded on the spot by the soldiers on duty at night.

The person who came was the family member of Haizhou Zhizhou, and brought greetings from Haizhou Zhizhou. Haizhou Zhizhou said that he could provide some supplies for Yang Chao, but Yang Chao’s people should go to the city to get them by themselves. The four gates of Haizhou have been sealed. I can't get out at all.

Although Yang Chao doesn't think highly of the character of Haizhou Zhizhou, such civil servants are the vast majority of civil servants in the Ming Dynasty. When the generals in the war asked to fight, they immediately criticized that it was the bravery of everyone.

Courage is the courage of a common man, so courage has nothing to do with it. Therefore, the cowardice of civil servants has become the most important thing in the overall situation. Humiliated the overall situation.

Yang Chao knew what Haizhou Zhizhou meant. Yang Chao had fought such a big battle under the city of Haizhou. To Haizhou Zhizhou, that was a lot of credit, but to get this credit, Yang Chao had to first Tide fit.

For civil and military personnel, the calculation of credit is different. Military officers basically rely on killing enemies and counting military merits by killing people, while civil servants are responsible for defending the city and commanding. Zhizhou can be embraced in his arms.

As long as Yang Chao cooperates, the magistrate of Haizhou can write a gorgeous letter of meritorious service, and then he can wait for a promotion. Think about it carefully, the captive soldiers suppressed the border, not only did nothing to help Haizhou City where he was sitting, but left hundreds of corpses. With such a record, the governor of Haizhou didn't think anyone else could meet him. It was pure luck that he met Yang Chao, a fool who came to rescue him.

As for whether Yang Chao is willing to cooperate, Haizhou Zhizhou is not too worried. Anyway, he does not intend to take credit for Yang Chao's own merits, so provide him with some convenience in terms of supplies, and just do not deduct according to the usual practice. I think this kind of man should be grateful I bowed down at my knees, grateful for my great kindness.

If Yang Chao doesn't cooperate, the magistrate of Haizhou has a way to punish him, the worst is not to provide food and grass all the time, let Yang Chao and his people drink the northwest wind, let's see how hungry these reckless people can be for a few days!
I don't know if it was the soldiers who were frightened, or it was the account of the governor of Haizhou. This servant was very arrogant. He gave Yang Chao alms, a sense of superiority, and blatantly asked Yang Chao to work hard. It looks like he came here at the risk of his life, and he was also disturbed by Yang Chao's soldiers.

"roll!"

Yang Chao snorted coldly, the servant was stunned, even his subordinates were stunned.

They obviously didn't feel that there was anything wrong with the servant's arrogant attitude, nor did they think there was anything wrong with the servant's behavior of asking for favors.

"you you!"

The servant was stunned for a moment, before he realized it, he pointed at Yang Chao and burst into anger.

Yang Chao snorted coldly: "Bold! Do you want to eat the board?"

The servant snorted coldly: "Okay, okay, you wait for me!"

As soon as Jia Ding finished speaking, Yang Chao had already stood up and ordered the left and right to take down.

"Hit ten boards! Throw it out."

Although the subordinates didn't understand, they still pushed the servant out, and soon there were ghosts and wolves howling.

After Zhizhou Jia Ding was beaten out, Jiang Yang soon came to say goodbye, saying that he wanted to go back to Haizhou City to visit his family.

Yang Chao told Jiang Yang that he is a hundred households in Haizhou, and he is not under his own control, and he can leave at any time.

At night, Huang Feng's mansion came to see Yang Chao in confusion.

"Don't you think I'm stupid?"

Facing Huang Fengfu who asked for advice, Yang Chao asked with a smile.

By beating out the family member of Haizhou Zhizhou, he obviously offended Haizhou Zhizhou. Others thought that Yang Chao was angry for a while, but Huang Fengfu didn't think so.

Huang Fengfu said: "Adults must care about what they do, but villains can't figure it out."

Yang Chao said with a smile: "We are leaving. The captive soldiers have almost killed them. I believe that the remaining captive soldiers will not pose a threat to Haizhou City. At this time, it is time to go back and return. If you stay in Haizhou, Haizhou The state magistrate has given me the impression that even if I try my best to cater to him, I am afraid that I may not be able to get any kind treatment. Instead, it is better to take the opportunity to leave and return to Huai'an to return to Shi Kefa's command, which is worse than being angry here."

Huang Fengfu nodded and said: "But my lord, there is no need to offend the governor of Haizhou."

Yang Chao said with a smile: "If I don't offend him, how can I go? This time, there is no supervisor in the army. When I arrive in Haizhou, I should be under the jurisdiction of the governor of Haizhou. He disagrees. I will transfer troops privately when I leave. If he Tell me about timidity, then we will lose all the credit we have made during this period of time. Why don't we tear ourselves apart with him, and then we can be said to have left in a fit of anger. Are we all reckless anyway? Believe in the court It is understandable."

What Yang Chao wanted was just a reason to leave Haizhou. As for whether he would offend a civil official like Haizhou Zhizhou, Yang Chao didn't care at all.As for whether the captive soldiers would come to invade again after he left, Yang Chao was not too worried, because the dozens of captive soldiers who were killed by himself were courageous and incapable. As for whether the captive soldiers would send reinforcements, Yang Chao didn't believe it even more.

In fact, in the original history, Haizhou was the bottom line of the frontiers of the captive soldiers, and Haizhou City was not attacked, only a small army of sporadic looting appeared. Although he did not know this history, Yang Chao judged it based on his own experience. It turns out that Shandong is the main target of the captive soldiers. They are not interested in Haizhou, and it is difficult for the soldiers to reach here.

Huang Fengfu was still worried: "What if the governor of Haizhou still impeaches you?"

Yang Chao smiled and said, "Then let him impeach."

Huang Fengfu was still worried.

Yang Chao knows that this is the weakness of literati, always worrying about gains and losses, but there are always gains and losses in some things, and you can't have both.

Yang Chao is not afraid of being impeached by the magistrate of Haizhou at all. He has more than 100 heads in his hand, which is a military exploit made of iron. .

More importantly, Yang Chao didn't want to stay in Haizhou at all. He preferred to work with Shi Kefa. He believed that Shi Kefa would be able to deal with military merit issues more impartially. The Zhizhou conflict returns to Huai'an, and I don't know if Shi Kefa will be on his side. After all, Yang Chao is on the right side in terms of affection and etiquette.

When Haizhou found out that the captives were invading, it was Yang Chao who took the initiative to ask Ying to come to the rescue, and beheaded hundreds of people under the watchful eyes of the Haizhou city, but the governor of Haizhou never let Yang Chao enter the city, forcing Yang Chao to fight with the captives. , and Shi Kefa also wrote him a letter, hoping that he would let Yang Chao enter the city. Obviously, all this proves that Yang Chao has not been treated fairly in Haizhou City.

Therefore, this falling out with the magistrate of Haizhou is also a test for Yang Chao, to see if a person with a long history like Shi Kefa will keep the bottom line of life.

If Shi Kefa ignorant of his conscience, officials and officials protect each other, and stand on the side of Haizhou magistrate, then Yang Chao will never trust the civil official group in the future, and will regard this group as a corrupt group that has degenerated to the bottom, and there is no need to cooperate at all.

After completely defeating the captive soldiers just now, I thought it was all right, and only a small number of soldiers were arranged to be on duty at night, but unexpectedly something happened.

At night, a horse suddenly stepped on the increasing salt bags behind the low wall, then jumped off the salt bags, and galloped southward on a horse alone.

Soon soldiers came to report that old man Bian's servants had snatched a horse and ran away from the south.

That old man Bian who kept clamoring for labor, his brave servant ran away with his horse?

This matter made Yang Chao a little curious, so he asked old man Bian to ask, but the old man kept silent, saying that he didn't know anything.

It was not until the next morning that Bian Jiading came back. When he left, he rode a war horse, but when he came back, he put on a carriage.

There was a load of wine in the carriage.

The old man Bian said very excitedly that he insisted on serving as a soldier, and the wine was for him.

Yang Chao really had no choice but to punish him. If he didn't punish him, he was afraid that others would follow suit.

Only soldiers are strictly ordered to keep an eye on their horses. If what happened last time happens again, they will be punished for the crime of dereliction of duty, and eighty army sticks will be beaten for dereliction of duty.

At the same time, it was ordered that if the situation was the same as last time, the soldiers should attack without hesitation, because there is no way to distinguish the purpose of the Bian Jiading. No matter how you look at it, snatching horses in the army is malicious, so the army has the right to fight back immediately.

At the same time, tell the people in the warehouse not to disturb the soldiers, otherwise they will be severely punished.

Let’s talk about the servants of the Bian family.

This servant is indeed a hero. He has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and his martial arts skills can be called high-strength.

But he was raised by Bian's family, he is old man Bian's adoptive son and the second eldest.

So he couldn't be ungrateful, he couldn't turn his back on old man Bian, even though he wanted to follow Yang Chao to kill the thief, but he couldn't.

This time, old man Bian really wanted to work in the army, so he volunteered, at least to collect some wine, he ran for a long time, and finally found a house near Banpu that had not been breached by the captive soldiers. The house belonged to a wealthy family, and he told the landlord However, the landlord happily gave him a lot of drinks and even provided him with a car.

Fortunately, Bian Er managed to bring back a cart full of wine and helped Old Man Bian to the army. After returning to a big room where many people lived together, Bian Er knelt down in front of Old Man Bian.

"Father, let Xiaoer avenge Miss!"

Everyone looked at this hero who snatched horses, looked for wine, and labored in the army. Bian Er was indeed a hero. Under the watchful eyes of the captive soldiers, he dared to go out of the camp alone, and traveled long distances to find wine and return it. , ordinary people do not.

Old man Bian was silent, silent for a long time, and let out a long sigh.

"Second son, I know that you have been close to Miss since childhood, but it's a pity that you are a servant after all. Hey, it's all because the old man is blind!"

After finishing speaking, old man Bian slapped himself.
