Chapter 1092 Jiangnan Rebellion (6)
Due to the arrival of the Jiangning Army, the threshing ground was filled with Yang Feng's commanding tents and the tents of the five hundred servants who were responsible for guarding him.
At the beginning, the villagers in the village were all frightened when they saw a large army entering the place. Some people ran away at that time, and many of the remaining villagers were ready to escape. Even after the Jiangning Army revealed their identity, they could not completely dispel the villagers' concerns and anxiety.
However, in just two or three days, the villagers of Bailong Village's impression of Jiangning Army completely changed.
This is not just a matter of military discipline, but the most important thing is that the villagers have seen the ambitiousness of this army.
Since Bailong Village is located near the official road, there are occasionally troops and passers-by. Everyone knows what kind of morality is the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. It may be a bit exaggerated to describe it as a bandit, but it is not a rare thing to steal a few chickens or a pig or even tease women.
This new army is different. In addition to training, their soldiers usually stay in the barracks and rarely come out. Even if they go to the village to buy something or ask the villagers to help, they will pay at the price, and the price given is much higher.
If you don’t disturb the people, you can make money. In the eyes of the villagers, such an army is nothing different from the Yue family army led by Grandpa Yue. What’s more, this army is well-equipped and neat. Those who serve in the army are even more powerful and polite than the other. Any choice of one is in line with the criteria for choosing a son-in-law!
In view of this, not only did the villagers who had escaped and hiding come back, but even the women in the village washed their faces clean again, and even wandered outside the military camp from time to time. It is easy to imagine what their purpose is.
Although the threshing ground in the village was occupied by the officers and soldiers, the villagers did not complain. Anyway, it is not a season of harvest, and the threshing ground is useless, and it doesn't matter if the officers and soldiers live. Not only that, many naughty children are willing to sneak around the threshing ground to play. Although the officers and soldiers stationed there will not let them in, they will not expel them violently. Yesterday, even some officers and soldiers sent some white flour and salt to the villagers in the more difficult villages in the village, almost scaring the villagers at that time.
In the evening, Yang Feng was a little idle after dinner, so he walked around the military camp. Behind him were Song Ye and more than a dozen servants. When it was getting dark, the village was filled with smoke.
Looking at the quiet village, Yang Feng was a little stunned. The scene at this moment was so peaceful, but this kind of peace seemed extremely fragile to him. There was no need to have many. As long as a team of hundreds of bandits came to the village, the village would no longer exist.
After a long time, he suddenly murmured: "Eat and wear it, the King of Breaking will not pay food when he comes! Haha... It's so good!"
Song Ye, who was following him, was a little confused. I wonder why his princess would say this. Isn’t this sentence the slogans of those bandits? Doesn’t the princess think it makes sense?
"Bang..."
A black thing flew over from a distance, flew past Yang Feng, and hit a tree trunk, making a dull sound.
Yang Feng, who was thinking, was startled. When he turned his head to look, he found that there were a group of naughty children playing sandbags next to him. When Yang Feng saw this, he couldn't help but laugh. This kind of game is really far-reaching. He sewed a pocket with a rag, and stuffed sand or cotton wool into it for a whole day. It was the most affordable toy in his childhood.
The children were not concerned about almost hitting Yang Feng. A boy with a snot on his lips quickly passed by Yang Feng with a smile and picked up the sandbag on the ground.
After several days of contact, they have realized that this army stationed in the village will not disturb the people at all. When they encounter a good temper, they will give them a few candies. These are the main reasons why these children are not afraid of Yang Feng.
"Hey, little kid, come here."
Yang Feng called out to the boy passing by, took out a handful of candy from his pocket and handed it to him: "Here... take it to those partners. Remember to brush your teeth before going to bed at night after eating, otherwise don't rely on me if you have tooth decay in the future."
"Thank you, this military master!" The boy stretched out his black little hand and held the handful of candy, and was so happy that when he returned to the middle of his friends, a burst of cheers soon rang out.
Yang Feng smiled and looked at the children cheering the children who were sharing the candy. After a while, he looked in another direction because he saw Gou Xingma hurried towards him from not far away.
Then he said to Song Ye: "Okay, let's go back."
As expected, Gou Xingma did bring bad news.
"Dude, I just got the news that the thieves were leading 60,000 bandits to besiege Anqing Mansion. This was a letter of help written by the magistrate of Anqing Mansion, King Jinguo, and the garrison king Quan."
Yang Feng took the envelope, checked the hot paint seal, and did not open it immediately, but asked, "Where is the person who sent the letter?"
"Waiting outside."
"Take him in."
Soon, a man in dusty leather armor, wearing a Ming army mandarin duck battle jacket strode in, knelt down on one knee and said loudly.
"The villain An Qing guards the commander of the hundred-ranking general Hu Dahai pays homage to the Duke!"
Yang Feng stared at Hu Dahai and asked slowly: "What is the situation in Anqing Mansion now? How many defenders are there?"
Hu Dahai quickly said, "It's so good for the Duke of the State to learn that there are more than 5,000 defenders and more than 3,000 temporary recruits in Anqing City. Wang Shoujie is leading his soldiers to guard the city day and night. When the Little Man Three came out the day before yesterday, the bandits had already started to attack the city. As for the current situation, the villain doesn't know."
After saying that, he looked at Yang Feng who was closing his eyes and said anxiously: "Dude, Anqing Mansion is in danger now. Please come out for rescue as soon as possible. It will be too late."
Yang Feng pondered for a moment and asked again: "There is Taihu County in the middle of the city from Anqing Mansion to here. How did you come here?"
Hu Dahai was stunned, "The villain came around from the small path next to him."
“Um…”
Yang Feng nodded without comment, and then opened the envelope in his hand. When he opened it, he found that the letter was written by Wang Jinguo, the prefect of Anqing.
In this letter, he praised Yang Feng for his good life, from the destruction of the Qing Dynasty to the recovery of Taiwan, and praised all his achievements.
The flattery was so enthusiastic, and then he said the current situation of Anqing Mansion in the letter was particularly serious. It seemed that if Yang Feng sent troops immediately, Anqing Mansion would fall tomorrow.
