The conversation was divided into two parts. Just when Yang Dezheng was causing trouble in Bianjing, the old lady learned that Yang Liulang had added a grandson to the Yang family in Tianjing New City. She happily held a banquet at the Yang Mansion in Tianjing New City.
Basically all the senior generals in the army were in place, and the seven ministers of Tianjing New City also congratulated Mrs. She. Mrs. She was drunk that night.
Yang Peng was patrolling his area with a hundred soldiers. There were Tianzhu Mountain, Zhenfeng Tower and other scenic spots in Qingyun Town, Cangzhou Prefecture. Yang Peng watched for two days and visited all these scenic spots before riding his horse.
Going back to Cangzhou Prefecture. When he reached a small village in the north of Qingyun Town, Yang Peng suddenly saw a girl running out of the village. Her clothes seemed to have been torn and incomplete. There was only one shoe on her foot.
I don't know where I fell, but I ran screaming in the rice fields that had already formed ears, one foot deep and one foot shallow, as if I had encountered something extremely terrible.
Behind him, four shirtless men came out of the village, laughing at the girls running away in the rice fields. Those men wore big swords on their waists and looked very capable. After laughing for a while, a man suddenly
He jumped out of the ground, ran quickly on the field ridge, and immediately caught up with the fleeing girl.
The girl heard footsteps behind her and turned around to look, only to be thrown down in the rice field by the man. The man threw the girl down and then grabbed her clothes and tore them open. He laughed.
He smiled obscenely, grabbed the girl's arms, and dragged her towards the village. A girl here was still dragging her, and another woman escaped from the village over there. The woman was also disheveled, and she was obviously almost dead.
She was raped. She rushed out of the village with her head down, trying to escape, but was chased by two other shirtless men who ran out of the village.
The two men grabbed the woman by the throat so that she could no longer run, then lifted the woman up and down, and carried the struggling woman towards the village. Seeing this scene, Yang Peng suddenly became furious. Where did the bandits come from?
Thief, dare to rape women in the village. You defeated the bandits yourself, but these bandits are still so arrogant?
Yang Peng waved his hand and said loudly: "Enter the village, capture these thieves and kill them!" One hundred soldiers of the Tiger Division sang in victory and rushed to the village on horseback. Several soldiers galloped on the road in the middle of the village.
After going back and forth, we got a grasp of the situation in the village. There were about thirty thieves raping women in the village. The men, young and old in the village were locked in a courtyard by the thieves, and two big men with knives stood guard at the door.
.
Seeing a hundred cavalry rushing into the village, the thieves were very surprised. When they heard the sound of rolling horse hooves, they abandoned their evil deeds one by one and ran out of the house in panic, raising their swords to face the galloping Master Hu Ben.
After investigating the situation, Division Huben rode out of the village, jumped off the horse fifty meters away, then raised the rifle on his back, loaded the bullet. After loading the bullet, a hundred soldiers entered the village in formation.
Go towards the thieves who are doing bad things.
In the village, more than thirty thieves stood at the door with their swords raised, preparing to confront Master Huben. Yang Peng was a little surprised when he saw the behavior of these thieves. This didn't look like the bandits he had defeated. The bandits had long been defeated.
I was already frightened, how could I not run away when I saw the officers and soldiers? Let alone raise their swords and form a formation to confront a hundred tiger soldiers.
Could this be the army? Which army would do such an outrageous thing? Yang Peng rode to the front and shouted: "Are you soldiers or thieves?"
The men laughed when they heard Li Zhi's inquiry. A strong man at the head came out and said: "We are the soldiers and horses of Lin Te's envoy. We are here to supply supplies. Which army are you from?" It turned out to be Lin Te.
No wonder they are so domineering. These dirty soldiers actually rape women.
Yang Peng said loudly: "You are unfairly selling supplies, how can you ruin good women?" The leader said: "The rules set by Mr. Lin, women from good families are also part of the supply." After saying this, the soldiers were stunned again.
Laughing loudly.
Yang Peng heard this and said loudly: "What's the difference between being a soldier and being a thief?" The leading soldier said: "Being a soldier of Mr. Lin's life will be more prosperous than being a thief. That's for sure." Rolling his eyes, he
He said loudly: "Where are you from? What do you want? Do you dare to make things difficult for Master Lin?"
Yang Peng was furious and shouted: "First squad, fire!" The eight soldiers aimed at the soldiers at the entrance of the village and pressed the trigger. Only a series of gunshots were heard, and the eight shirtless officers and soldiers at the entrance of the village were suddenly covered in blood.
They were splashing everywhere, vomiting blood and fell down. Seeing the firing, the more than 20 officers and soldiers immediately ran away with their heads in their hands as if they were struck by lightning.
Yang Peng waved his hand and said: "Go up and tie up these ruffians and take them back to Cangzhou City to show their heads to the public!" A hundred soldiers of the Huben Division rushed forward and arrested the ruffians. These ruffians had tasted the power of rifles.
At this time, no one dared to resist when the rifle was pointed at them. The soldiers tied the arms of these ruffians and escorted them all the way back to Cangzhou City.
When they reached the city gate, Lin Te's general Zhao Zhu got the news for some reason and rushed to the city gate with a hundred servants. "Yang Peng, let go of Master Lin's troops!" Yang Peng looked at
Looking at the lieutenant, he said calmly: "Soldiers rape good women, and everyone will kill them. If you protect the officers and soldiers who are thieves, do you also want to become thieves too?"
Zhao Zhu did not listen to Yang Peng's words and said loudly: "guerrilla Yang Peng, I asked you to let go of Mr. Lin's people, did you hear it?" After Zhao Zhu said this, the hundred servants behind him walked forward.
After a few steps, he pressed in front of Yang Peng. When the soldiers in the front row next to Yang Peng saw that the situation was not right, they immediately pulled out their bayonets, mounted the bayonets on their guns, and confronted Zhao Zhu's servants. And the fifty soldiers in the back row
Then he calmly loaded the rifle, and it took more than ten seconds to complete the loading. He pointed the muzzle of the gun at the Zhao Zhu soldiers at the city gate through the gap between the people.
Looking at the black muzzle of the muskets, Zhao Zhu's soldiers became frightened and gradually retreated back. At the back, a hundred servants no longer dared to threaten Yang Peng's men and horses, and retreated more than ten meters away, holding the horses on their horses.
Zhao Zhu was alone in the front. These servants were smarter and knew that Yang Peng's rifle was not a joke, so they did not dare to try it themselves.
Zhao Zhu rode on the horse and said loudly: "Yang Peng, are you going to fight with me?" Yang Peng looked at Zhao Zhu who was riding alone on the horse and said coldly: "Huobing? You think too highly of yourself.
Your troops don’t need a quarter of an hour!”
Yang Peng stopped talking nonsense with Zhao Zhu and escorted more than 20 soldiers to the center of Cangzhou City. Zhao Zhu's men looked at Yang Peng's soldiers with guns and live ammunition. Who dared to stop them? They walked to the crossroads at the entrance of the vegetable market in the center of the city.
Li Zhi asked the soldiers to clear an area, let more than 20 soldiers kneel on the ground, and put a sign behind them. The sign had several words written in capital letters: "**Women, behead them immediately!"
Yang Peng also asked the soldiers in charge of order to shout loudly on the side, explaining the reasons why these ruffians were executed. The people watched the execution of the rebel soldiers and gathered around them. It was said that these ruffians were killed because of the rape of women.
The lord of Jingxin City was beheaded, and the people all applauded, and they all shared the same hatred.
These days, the soldiers and horses brought from other places to fight are called guest soldiers. The guest soldiers of the Song Dynasty were far away from their hometowns, and their style was very barbaric. They often bullied the local people. There is a saying that bandits are like combs and soldiers are like grates - banditry
When the soldiers came to plunder, they combed through it like a comb and took away all the property in the house, but the teeth of the comb were widely spaced, so there were still some things that were missed; while when the guest soldiers came to plunder, they did so openly, with plenty of time, and carefully.
They plundered the ground and plundered with more hatred than the bandits, just like fine-toothed grates.
These days, guest soldiers are as terrifying as the king of hell. However, Cangzhou's soldiers and horses not only do not plunder civilians, but also arrest ruffians who rape women. They are really benevolent and righteous troops. More and more people are watching, and all roads are gradually blocked.
.Not long after, Lin Te rushed over on horseback, followed by more than a dozen servants. Lin Te asked the servants to separate the crowd, and walked up to Yang Peng himself.
When the kneeling soldiers saw Lin Te coming, they kowtowed to the ground and shouted loudly: "Sir, help me!" "Sir, help us!" Lin Te clasped his fists and said to Yang Peng: "Guerrilla general, Lin is here.
It’s too late, and you didn’t stop the soldiers from raping women!” Yang Peng looked at Lin Te and secretly thought that this traitor had the nerve to say that he wanted to stop the soldiers? Isn’t it commonplace for his soldiers and horses to plunder women? Lin Te’s tribe robbed people on a large scale.
Yang Peng had seen people plundering women and causing riots twice in the newspaper. Which time did he stop them?
Lin Te said: "The official of the Ministry of Etiquette, Wai Lang, is busy with everything. We are late, so Yang Peng can handle it for the general." Lin Te clasped his fists and said, "Guerrilla General, Lin's soldiers are still handled by Lin, so I don't have to worry about the guerrilla general acting as his agent!
"Yang Peng said: "I can't control what I can't see, but today I encountered something so outrageous that I won't let it go. Wailang, a member of the Ministry of Rites, wants to take back the soldiers, but this won't work!"
Luo Dai, a general behind Lin Te, was angered by Yang Peng's words. He rushed up and scolded: "Guerrilla Yang Peng, you consider yourself a governor? What authority do you have to punish Master Lin's troops? Be careful, I will lead my troops to capture you.
Tianjing New City!" Yang Peng smiled and said: "I will only send 3,000 people to defend my Tianjing New City. Let me see if you 6,000 people can get close to my Tianjing New City?"
Over the years, Naluo Dai relied on the strength of Linte's troops and became accustomed to being arrogant in front of other troops. He suddenly forgot that he was facing Yang Peng of Tianjing New City. This Yang Peng captured more than 10,000 Khitans in one battle.
The Khitan army was frightened after hearing the news, and its combat power was far superior to that of the official army of the Song Dynasty. Luo Dai threatened Yang Peng with soldiers and horses, which was just a joke in Yang Peng's eyes.
Luo Dai ate a turtle, opened his mouth and was speechless. Lin Te looked at Yang Peng and said slowly: "Guerrilla general, I heard that you are in business. If not, I will buy it with money."
The lives of these soldiers of mine are one hundred taels each! How about it? After buying them, I will whip these soldiers in public, each with fifty lashes!"
Yang Peng smiled and said: "One hundred taels is too little, ten thousand taels is just right! Twenty-three rebel soldiers will be sold to you for 230,000 silver, and you will pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other." After hearing Yang Peng's words, the man behind Lin Te
Luo Dai shouted, "That's too much!" and was about to rush forward to fight Yang Peng, but was stopped by several generals nearby. Yang Peng's soldiers and horses were too strong. He collided with Yang Peng, in case Yang Peng really got angry with Lin Te.
, the one who is unlucky is still Wai Lang, a member of the Ministry of Rites. Moreover, now that Yang Peng has taken advantage of Lin Te's soldiers bullying women, it is Lin Te who is causing the most embarrassment. The superior officials will not punish and dare not punish Yang Peng.
Lin Te glanced at Yang Peng and stopped talking. He stood aside with his hands behind his back and looked at the more than 20 soldiers on the field with a livid face. Upon seeing this, Lin Te's subordinates also looked at the soldiers on the ground in silence one by one.
The twenty soldiers on the ground looked at Lin Te and were still kowtowing desperately to beg for mercy. Not long after, the governor of Cangzhou heard the news and rushed to the entrance of the market with his officials, the general of the town army, Mou Wenshou, and others.
Master Cha has not yet entered the crowd here, but the military commander and others over there have also arrived quickly, all to see the fun.
Yang Peng, who was killing everyone, and Lin Te, who was unruly, faced each other, and the excitement was great. Panting, Mr. Zha walked to the door of the vegetable market, separated from the crowd, walked to Yang Peng, and said: "Yang Peng has such a big formation.
Yang Peng said: "What these officers and soldiers did is unacceptable. How is it different from bandits? Yang Peng has to punish them!"
Master Zha stroked his beard and remained silent. When Lin Te saw Master Zha coming, he walked up and clasped his fists and said, "Sir Governor!" Master Zha looked at Lin Te and said to Yang Peng: "Yang Peng, just sell it.
I want to save face by handing these soldiers back to Mr. Lin and let him deal with them by himself!"
Although Yang Peng has made great contributions and even assigned his head to the governor of Cangzhou, Yang Peng will return to Tianjing New City soon. There will not be many opportunities to deal with the governor of Cangzhou in the future. Moreover, he can't stand Lin Te, a treacherous minister, so the governor of Cangzhou will
Differently, Lin Te had to rely on Lin Te's etiquette officer, Wai Lang, to speak for him in Bianjing. As the saying goes, "when people leave, the tea will cool down. Of course Master Cha must take care of Lin Te's emotions during the scene."
Yang Peng looked at the governor and said coldly: "I can't let these ruffians go." Turning his head, Yang Peng shouted to the soldiers: "Execution!" Only dozens of gunshots were heard, and Yang Peng
Peng's soldiers shot the soldiers in the back of the head and killed them in the middle of the crowd. The governor of Cangzhou and other civil servants were startled when they heard the gunshots. Then they saw the tragic sight of the soldiers on the ground with their heads blooming.
Their faces all turned pale. The people watching were also startled, and they all stepped back a few steps when they heard the gunshots. But they quickly reacted and cheered loudly one by one!
"The soldiers and horses of Tianjing New City are great!" "The teachers of benevolence and righteousness!" "The soldiers and horses of Tianjing New City are mighty!" Yang Peng finished shooting the rebels and shouted: "Send five thousand soldiers to patrol outside the city. If you find anything else,
Soldiers who rape women should be shot on the spot!"
Under the watchful eyes of the Cangzhou Governor and others, Yang Peng abandoned the corpse on the ground and led the team back to Tianjing New City. Lin Te sighed and said, "Let the soldiers stop supplying outside and return to camp!" Lin Te was in a mood.
Depressed, he abandoned the governor of Cangzhou and led his men back to camp.
The governor shook his head and said: "What's the use of joining him? Such a good general will not be punished! What's more, he is dealing with rebels! We can tolerate Lin Te, but we must tolerate Yang Peng even more!"
After Luo Zhen's death, the Cangzhou Jiedushi is still vacant, and the court has not appointed a new Cangzhou Jiedushi. Yang Peng began to summon his subordinates. Now Yang Peng is in charge of the military affairs of Cangzhou West Road, and his subordinates have three guards.
They are the Jinghai Town School Captain, the Qingxian County School Lieutenant, and the Xingji County School Lieutenant. These three School Lieutenants are all in the county town and are the defensive force of the local county town.
The next day Yang Peng sent people to summon these guards. On the afternoon of the third day, these three guards rushed to Tianjing New City.
Li Zhi asked his subordinates to wait for him in the second hall. Ye Xiancai, the captain of Jinghai Town, was a tall man. He was wearing a crimson official uniform of the sixth grade, and he had the majesty of a military attaché. He sat in front of the three of them, a little nervous, and looked at
The Qingxian school captain Shi Jiegao next to him said: "Brother Shi, the city lord has a reputation far and wide. Do you think he will make things difficult for us when he takes office as a new official?"
The captain of the Qing County School, Shi Jiegao, was a thin middle-aged man who was resting there with his eyes closed. Hearing Ye Xiancai's words, he opened his eyes and stroked his beard, and said: "Probably not. I heard that the Lord of the City had previously asked his subordinates
It's very simple." After a pause, Shi Jiegao continued: "And when the city lord was doing guerrilla work, he reclaimed a lot of wasteland as military fields and gave free money to his subordinates."
Xingji captain Hao Zhengchao, a middle-aged man with a square face and no beard, said: "We have to be on guard. But the three of us are old acquaintances. We advance and retreat with the same mind. I don't think he dares to make things difficult for us!" Ye Xian was taller.
He nodded and said: "Yes, we are united in advancing and retreating! The banknotes you sent are all one hundred taels of silver, and the gift list is one hundred and twenty taels of silver?"
Hao Zhengchao said: "They are exactly 220 taels of silver, 100 taels of silver notes plus 120 taels of property! After the general saw the gift list, he knew that the three of us were of the same mind and would be afraid." Shi
Jiegao nodded and said: "The generals are also human beings. They will understand when they see us united like this! How dare you light three fires?" After saying this, he closed his eyes with peace of mind and calmed down.
.
After a while, Yang Peng came out from the back of the hall. Seeing the general coming out, the three lieutenants looked at each other a few times, knelt on the ground and sang: "Ye Xiangao has met the city lord!" "Shi Jiegao has met the city lord!"
"Hao Zhengchao has met the Lord of the City!"
Yang Peng sat on the main seat and said: "No gifts, get up!" Three of his men got up, took out the gift lists from their arms, and came up one by one and handed the gift lists to Yang Peng. Yang Peng looked at the three gift lists.
, but he was stunned - all the three men sent were one hundred taels of silver notes, plus one hundred and twenty taels of goods.
Yang Peng grabbed the gift slip and thought about it, secretly thinking what does this mean? To show himself that the three of them have a good relationship? To threaten himself? How united can the three Song Dynasty military attachés be? They are all ruffians, and they will rebel at any time for their own benefit. This shows them
Isn't the unity of the two a joke? Yang Peng smiled and said: "Why are the gift lists of the three of you exactly the same?"
Ye Xiangao said: "It's different, sir, it's different. Our belongings are all made of different silks, they won't be the same!" Yang Peng sneered and said: "Okay, not bad! I accepted yours.
Gift list."
The three lieutenants looked at each other and secretly thought that the general was intimidated by him and expected that the requirements for the three of them would be lowered. The three of them felt proud and sat back on the chairs without waiting for Yang Peng to tell him to sit down.
Yang Peng looked at the proud expressions of the three people and thought about a way to break the unity of the three people. Yang Peng looked at Jinghai Town School Lieutenant Ye Xiancai and felt that this man had a rough appearance and was less scheming, so he casually said: "Ye Xiancai
, your Jinghai Town is closest to my Tianjing New City, and I plan to reclaim 100,000 acres of wasteland in Jinghai Town and turn it into dry farmland. I will buy these ownerless wastelands from your school captain's office for twenty cents per mu of wasteland."
Ye Xiancai's eyes lit up when he heard this. One hundred thousand acres of wasteland. Yang Peng's purchase price for the wasteland was twenty cents per acre. Buying one hundred thousand acres of wasteland also cost two thousand taels of silver. The money was apparently used as public funds.
The garrison mansion, but once it changes hands, Ye Xiancai can't just use it casually? The city lord has given himself a big gift!
I just gave the city lord two hundred taels of goods, and the city lord returned ten times to me. Ye Xiancai said with a smile on his face: "The city lord has this plan, I will definitely cooperate with you, plan and coordinate all parties, and we will definitely make it happen."
The Lord of the City is satisfied!" Yang Peng said, "Jinghai Town is very close to Khitan's Youzhou. Do you have many ordinary people in a military town there? What I mean is that you plan to build a county town there to prepare for the northward attack on Youzhou.
Regarding work, you are all officials of the Song Dynasty. Our Tianjing New City is independent and does not belong to the Song Dynasty. Otherwise, you can work under my command and take the exams yourself."
Hearing Yang Peng's words, the two captains sitting next to him became uneasy. Two thousand taels of silver was not a small number! A captain only had a few hundred troops, and the military pay was already small, even if a lot of it was wasted.
He drinks the blood of his soldiers and earns only two to three thousand taels of silver throughout the year. Moreover, he has to be filial to the superiors at all levels, so only a few hundred taels of silver actually fall into his pocket.
Two thousand taels of silver were no more than a huge sum of money in the eyes of the three captains. Yang Peng gave Ye Xiancai such a huge sum of money to spend in just one sentence. Hao Zhengchao, the captain of Xingji School, said first: "General, the general is not as good as
Some dry fields will also be reclaimed in Xingji County." Yang Peng said lightly: "The place to be reclaimed has not yet been decided, but it is certain that only 100,000 acres will be reclaimed."
Hearing Yang Peng's words, Ye Xiancai became a little uneasy and glanced at Li Zhi nervously, fearing that he would not open new fields in Jinghai Town and move them all to Xingji County. Hao Zhengchao did not even look at Ye Xiancai and said immediately: "Sir
, Xingji County has many rivers and is more suitable for cultivating new fields." For two thousand taels of silver, the fragile alliance between Hao Zhengchao and Ye Xiancai collapsed in an instant.
Ye Xiancai glanced at Hao Zhengchao angrily and said loudly: "Sir, Jinghai Town is closer to Tianjing New City and is more suitable for management!" Finally, Qingxian School Lieutenant Shi Jiegao couldn't help it anymore, stood up and said with cupped hands: "Sir, Qingxian River
Quite a few, and it's also close to Tianjing New City, so it's the best place to open up new fields!" Hearing Shi Jiegao's words, Ye Xiancai and Hao Zhengchao snorted. The so-called alliance between the three of them has long since disappeared in the face of interests.
.
In fact, Yang Peng has no plan to open up new fields yet. He brought this up just to let the three captains compete for interests and break their alliance. At this time, the three of them were already competing with each other, and there was no sense of advancing or retreating together.
Yang Peng's goal was achieved. Yang Peng nodded and said: "What the three of you said is reasonable. I have to think about this again! When I think about it clearly, I will inform you." After a pause.
, Yang Peng said seriously: "Let's get down to business and be my subordinate. There are only two requirements. You all listen carefully!"
The three captains found that the three of them had become three lonely individuals. Without the alliance of advance and retreat, a single captain was too weak to be vulnerable in front of the world-famous Lord of Tianjing New City. Hearing
At Yang Peng's words, none of the three dared to sit down and stood respectfully to receive the order. Yang Peng had already predicted that the captain was a general under the camp system, and he was only responsible for the training and fighting of the troops along the way, not the farming. Although.
The school lieutenants are still in charge of the management of the farming, but the farming affairs are under the control of the military preparation road, and the school captains have to report the farming affairs to the military preparation road. Therefore, Yang Peng's two long-standing requirements have changed:
"My request, first, is to look good and not cause a mutiny!" "Second, if I want to cultivate private land within your jurisdiction, you must fully cooperate!" The three captains quickly agreed:
"General, I understand!" "I understand!" "The Lord of the City has an order, and I will do my best!"
What happened after all? Let’s look at the breakdown next time.
