Back to the end of Ming Dynasty to be a warlord

Chapter 343 Returning to the Barracks
How Yang Chao thinks that Dong Xiaowan is a first-class beauty with talent and learning. Even if she is a brothel girl, she will not be unable to marry, but she has tried every means to marry him as a concubine, which makes Yang Chao feel a little emotional.

Although Dong Xiaowan didn't know what it means to hate a married woman, but hearing Yang Chao's tone of sarcasm, she knew that she had no intention of it.

Immediately said sadly: "If my uncle dislikes Xiaowan's brothel girls, Xiaowan dare not climb up, and move out tomorrow!"

Yang Chao lamented in his heart, Dong Xiaowan's tone was sad, now the whole Nanjing knew that the Yang family had accepted Dong Xiaowan as a concubine, and let him move out, with Dong Xiaowan's staunch character, I'm afraid they couldn't bear this humiliation, suicide was inevitable.

To be honest, Yang Chao does have some conflicts with Dong Xiaowan's identity. After all, she is a brothel girl, and it is not nice to say it. Yang Chao has always been a face-saving person. He is not keen on seeking fame and fortune, but it does not mean that he does not care about his own. For face, he is a man of honor.

In the eyes of Yang Chao, who has studied abroad, wanting face is not a shortcoming, on the contrary, it is an advantage. In other words, people who want to save face have a strong sense of honor.Like those literati in the Ming Dynasty who talked all day long about good birds choosing trees to live in, and only wanted to take shortcuts by surrendering and gaining official titles, they really didn't care much about face, and regarded shame as the capital of promotion. Yang Chao despised such people .

This kind of people don't care about what other people say. They don't care about anything except their own interests, and they don't have any bottom line. They dare to do anything, which is really terrifying.

Yang Chao wants face, so he cares about what others say. If others say that he married a prostitute, he will definitely find it difficult to accept it, but protecting face is one aspect, and directly forcing Dong Xiaowan to death is still impossible.

Yang Chao sighed: "That's all. I heard that you came to my house at night?"

The customs of weddings and funerals in Ming Dynasty are very particular, and the time of marriage and funeral is different for everyone. People with such humble identities as prostitutes and servants are not qualified to hold weddings during the day, they can only marry at night, and they I really believe in this, and feel that if I don’t do this, it will be very unlucky, so basically no one changes the rules for the sake of face, and this is a kind of etiquette. impeach him.

Dong Xiaowan thought that Yang Chao was deliberately mentioning her prostitute status, glanced at Yang Chao, then lowered her head, her chest had already started to heave, full of grievances, and tears flowed down instantly.

"Although the concubine is a prostitute, she is forced to do so. Who is born to be low? Please don't humiliate me like this. The concubine will leave tomorrow, and I will never see you again!"

After Dong Xiaowan finished speaking, she stood up suddenly with a broken expression.

Never meet again?

Yang Chao reckoned that she would really seek death.

Shaking his head: "You misunderstood! I don't pay attention to those things. Since you have joined my Yang family and married you as a concubine, you have to carry a big sedan chair eight times. How can my Yang Chao's woman be like a thief in the middle of the night? I don't understand. Let's go in!"

Yang Chao believes that marriage is a celebration, so it should be publicized. A person can have several times in a lifetime. Maybe Ming Dynasty people have three wives and four concubines, but only a few times. Except for a pervert like Wu Tianxing, he must be the master of a hundred concubines. A hundred concubines, and Hong Xiuquan's kind of poor people blowing up the rich and crazy concubines, who would marry more than ten wives and concubines.

So Yang Chao still hopes to be more formal. As for what is unlucky or being impeached, Yang Chao doesn't care at all. Yang Chao doesn't believe in fate, so he is even less afraid of being impeached. Impeach Yang Chao.

But Dong Xiaowan was dumbfounded, what do you mean, eight palanquins!

She had longed for it before, but ever since she voluntarily sold herself in a brothel in order to treat her mother's illness, she no longer had this extravagant hope. It is impossible for ordinary people to marry her with a big sedan chair, let alone a princely family like the Yang family. .

But she heard Yang Chao's good intentions: "Uncle has a heart, the concubine can't bear it!"

Yang Chao waved his hand: "I can bear it, why can't I bear it! Men and women get along because of love, and they should respect each other. You don't need to be formal in my house!"

Dong Xiaowan nodded vigorously, then said shyly: "Uncle, it's late at night, it's time to rest."

Yang Chao smiled: "You rest, I'll go to the guest room. Tomorrow, you should move back home first, and wait for me to pick you up in a sedan chair. The shortest time is ten months, and the longest is half a year. You may wait."

Dong Xiaowan couldn't help being disappointed, Yang Chao didn't want to have sex with her, but he was overjoyed when he heard Yang Chao's promise. It was the first time he heard Yang Chao's clear promise, and he didn't forget that he took painstaking efforts to marry into the Yang family.

Nodding stubbornly, she chose to trust Yang Chao.

Yang Chao said something to rest early, then went out, and closed the door for her by the way.

To be honest, Yang Chao is also holding back. To put it bluntly, such a delicate and beautiful beauty is up to you to pick. If you change it to any bloody man, you will probably dare not ignore it, but Yang Chao is not a young child. This is his first time. Being a clean freak, he felt that he still had to find a perfect bi, so he endured it, and couldn't help springing and springing in his dreams at night.

On the second day, Dong Xiaowan moved out of Yang's house and moved back to Dong's house next to Jinchai Tower. This incident immediately aroused great repercussions in the brothel circle.

Li Xiangjun, who was supposed to be a competitor, felt sorry for Dong Xiaowan, and even visited Dong's house in person.

She even felt that there was a kind of bleakness about the death of a rabbit and a fox. She also had interest in Yang Chao, but Yang Chao seemed to be what Aunt Li said, a heartless person. See you, she made up her mind to see Yang Chao for the last time, and then gave up, but she couldn't even see this last time, she was even more pitiful than Dong Xiaowan.

Before his mother lost his temper, Yang Chao sneaked out of the house and went straight to the barracks with his personal guards.

Ever since he returned to Nanjing and handed over the matter of military training to Lao Jin, Yang Chao has plunged headlong into the court to fight for power and profit, without even returning to the barracks.

As soon as they entered the camp, the soldiers immediately became excited when they saw Yang Chao, especially the recruits who were training, shouting at Mr. Yang with envy and admiration, and even losing control, they all wanted to get closer to Yang Chao.

At this time, the worship of Yang Chao in the army has reached a level of fanaticism. In Haizhou, the [-] million to [-] is nothing. Paying more attention to the latter is a great achievement.

And the process is so legendary, most of these soldiers participated in it, and felt that they had done a great event with Master Yang that was worthy of boasting in their lifetime, but Yang Chao left the barracks afterwards, and this time when he came back, it caused a kind of emotional turmoil.

Yang Chao was also touched in his heart. The feeling of being worshiped by others is unimaginable, especially when tens of thousands of people worship, it is easy to get dizzy, so many founding kings often do Some stupid things happen because this kind of worship makes them feel that they are close to gods.

Fortunately, Yang Chao hadn't reached the level of national worship, so he calmed down and immediately felt a sense of crisis.

"I have been away from my army for so long that I am a stranger to my soldiers."

How can there be a sense of distance without a sense of distance, how can this kind of worship arise? People don't worship people, they only worship God!

Yang Chao has always known that the cornerstone of his power is the army in his hand, but knowing this, he still goes to the court to fight for fame and fortune. Isn't this putting the cart before the horse? He is not a civil servant. It is fundamental.

After figuring this out, Yang Chao couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat.

Immediately announced among the excited soldiers that he would stay in the army from now on, encouraging the soldiers to train well.

Prestige is a thing that can make people obey with a few words and make people feel high.

The soldiers were encouraged, and they all expressed that they would train hard and kill thieves with Master Yang in the future.

Afterwards, Yang Chao gave the emperor a report on his illness, saying that it was difficult to go to court, and he concentrated on staying in the army.

The army developed normally. Yang Chao expanded to 5 soldiers in Linqing, and when he returned to Nanjing, he recruited [-] stranded civilians into the army. There were already [-] troops. It is full at this time.

All recruits are taught to Lao Jin for training.

The remaining veterans are only many men, a thousand headquarters, and five hundred soldiers led by Zhao Kang.

The recruits are training, and the veterans are also training, and all of them are practicing horse riding in the big school field.

Yang Chao gave the order to die this time. If the soldiers could not learn how to ride a horse within a month, they would be dismissed immediately and reduced to ordinary soldiers.

Yang Chao's personal requirements are extremely strict. First, he must have seen blood in battle, second, he must be in excellent physical condition and be able to wear double-layer armor, and third, he must be able to ride a horse.

At the same time, their salaries are also particularly generous. For other troops, soldiers are divided into four ranks, privates and first, second and third ranks. The strongest first rank is only two taels of silver a month, but Yang Chao's personal soldiers, each directly three taels The money is equivalent to ordinary team members, and the officer's salary is also increased by one level accordingly. This is the treatment of the elite.

What's more important is that the personal soldiers can always follow Yang Chao around, and have a lot of opportunities to make meritorious deeds.

Therefore, none of the personal soldiers were willing to leave. Therefore, after the order was issued, these people had a very strong desire to ride horses. They practiced continuously every day. There are not many people who can do it.

"I want to practice riding too!"

Seeing the enthusiasm of the veterans for practicing horseback riding, Yang Chao thought to himself that he had really relaxed some time ago, but after encountering difficulties in horseback riding, he actually gave up temporarily. Perhaps it was because he, the general, gave up that encouraged other soldiers to relax Bar.

"If you don't know how to ride a horse, how will you go north to compete in the Central Plains in the future!"

Yang Chao has always had a plan in mind, and he does not want to separatize Jiangnan. Stabilizing Jiangnan is only a means, not an end. The goal is to unify the world.

As a general who doesn't know how to ride a horse, it may be no problem in the paddy fields where the rivers and canals criss-cross the south of the Yangtze River, but when you go to the open plains like Shandong and Henan, and you may even fight in Liaodong and the Mongolian steppe in the future, you must learn to fight on horseback.

So after returning to the barracks for the second day, Yang Chao also began to practice horse riding with the veterans.
