In the evening, Hong Chengchou, the governor of Yansui, sent someone to deliver a cart of watercress to the camp.
It's rare that we have porridge and vegetables for dinner tonight, which makes these people very happy.
Hong Chengchou read out Yang He's order, and then looked coldly at the leaders in the tent.
I heard that going to Yushu Castle would give you so many benefits. For a moment, everyone was excited and buzzing about it.
Each of the more than 40 leaders brought their own troops. Yang He had no ability at all and did not dare to touch their original troops. Basically, they only brought as many people as they brought when recruiting, and they are still the same people now.
The leaders of this group are all called Jianghu Bandits, such as Sweeping King, Rolling Mine, Yizhangqing, Hunjianglong, Breaking Through the Sky... But among them, three leaders have the largest number of men and are also the most cunning.
Wang Jiayin, brothers Shen Yiyuan and Shen Yikui looked at each other. There was greed and suspicion in their eyes. The three of them had about 3,000 troops, accounting for half of the strength of the camp.
These old gangsters are very alert.
They did not doubt that Yang Fan would give the emperor face. The governors of the three sides were first-class officials, and the Marquis of Dingyuan always had to give him something to send him away.
They were a little reluctant to cross the desert to get to Yushu Fort. After all, it was close to Ordos and they were unfamiliar with the place.
It is easy to suffer losses if you are unfamiliar with the terrain and environment.
"Sir Futai, we all don't have enough to eat now. It's really difficult to travel long distances to Willow Castle to collect food and wages. Can you please discuss with Mr. Futai and Mr. Zongxian and send these things to the military camp for us?" Tapo said.
Tianweng shouted angrily.
Suddenly, there was a chorus of agreement below.
They have been here for half a year and are familiar with the situation.
The surrounding mountains, terrain, rivers and lakes are all clearly visible. Naturally, I think it is safe psychologically. As for Willow Castle, a place where birds do not lay eggs, my eyesight goes dark.
If something happens to you, you won't know where to run.
At least you need to know the local rivers, roads, and geographical conditions.
If you don't have this ability, you shouldn't join the promising profession of banditry.
Hong Chengchou was furious and cursed: "You talented people, I have brought it to you, do you want to feed it to your mouth? It's too bad to eat. Marquis Dingyuan is easy to talk to, I really shame you. Who is too lazy to move?"
, you all go to Guihua City by yourself, and tell Marquis Dingyuan yourself, and ask him to deliver the goods to your homes."
The people below suddenly shrank their necks. Marquis Dingyuan was famous for his evil reputation, no one dared to get into trouble. Aren't they impatient?
"Master Futai, we really can't walk."
"The daily side dishes are only porridge with rotten vegetable leaves. You can count the grains of rice. You can't leave when you are hungry. Your Majesty, this is a warning."
"Your Majesty is not short of hungry soldiers. You must give us some money for departure. After all, we are also officers and soldiers. A bowl of water must be balanced."
"If you don't have any money, you can just give me two meals first."
Hong Chengchou looked down like a vegetable market, frowned in disgust and cursed: "You pigs only know how to eat. Don't you know what the situation in northern Shaanxi is now? There is not much food in the treasury. In order to replenish it, it is gone."
Knock on the rice bucket. Do you all eat dry rice? After eating the autumn grain, do you drink cold water before coming down?"
Everyone was just wailing shamelessly. In short, they were taking the opportunity to ask for money and refused to leave without money.
They all knew very well that they went to Willow Fort and would probably not come back because military rations and pay were supplied there and they would probably need to be reorganized there.
The imperial court is not a fool. If these bandits are not broken up and reorganized, wouldn't they be time bombs if they remain? It is very likely that they will break away from the jurisdiction of the governors of the three sides. From now on, Suiyuan may be in charge of them.
Everyone knows that there is grain over there in Suiyuan. There is new grain over there, what is it called corn, it is enough to eat.
Too many people from northern Shaanxi have gone to Dongsheng. Many of their families, relatives and friends have news. When they get to Dongsheng, they can find work, mainly building roads and building bridges.
Not only do they have to pay for food there, but they also get a salary of 300 copper coins a month.
It was obvious that he was going to leave, and naturally he had to make a final blackmail out of it.
Thieves are all shrewd. Anyway, northern Shaanxi is in such a famine situation that there is not much money to be squeezed out. It is better to go to Suiyuan and have a look.
Now Yang He was so irritated by them that he wanted to get rid of them immediately. Keeping them in his hands was like a hot potato. Naturally, they wanted to take advantage of this mentality.
If you tell us to leave quickly, then we will extort you completely.
Otherwise, just stay put.
Hong Chengchou flicked his sleeves and said: "Today's order has been issued, and we must leave tomorrow morning! I have the final say. I will eat a meal of thick porridge with grains later, and each person will be given a pickle. After eating, we will pack our luggage immediately. We will finish it at dawn tomorrow morning.
Leave after breakfast."
I heard that there was a meal of thick porridge, and many people below swallowed their saliva and started talking buzzingly.
Hong Chengchou continued: "After you set off, food along the way will be provided by people from this Futai, and you will not be left without food. All the way to Liushu Fort, this Futai will be responsible for it. You are all camp soldiers now.
, you need to know that military law is ruthless. If you give an order, anyone who disobeys the order will be killed. You should take care of yourself."
After Hong Chengchou finished speaking, he left.
A group of subordinate officials from Yulin Town, minzhuang, and government officials drove three carriages into the camp. They cooked rice in the school yard, used the green and moldy warehouse floor grain, and started washing.
This stuff can't be eaten unless it's washed thoroughly. It'll be so spicy that it's really hard to swallow. After it's washed clean, add the dug wild vegetables and start cooking porridge.
A cart of cabbage was also chopped and thrown into the pot.
"Everyone, take a look, here are two taels of salt, put them into the porridge today." Wang Zhuangfei, the classic historian, shouted loudly, holding a black salt block hanging on a thin hemp rope.
Suddenly, all the thieves exclaimed, salt is not easy to eat. The salt of the Ming Dynasty is too damn expensive, and the salt merchants are all big bugs who eat people without spitting out bones.
Wang Zhuangfei put the salt into a basin of water, then crushed it with a pestle until it was completely dissolved, forming a basin of dark brown turbid liquid. He poured a ladle into each large pot. Everyone watched the green vegetable porridge rolling.
My stomach growled.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After eating, none of these people went to pack their luggage. They all lazily leaned against the wall, scratched lice, and chatted.
General Wu De whipped one person up, and the other one fell down again.
For a while, the officers sent by the general command were yelling angrily, but there was nothing they could do about these rogues.
Soon it was getting dark and the temperature was getting colder.
Some of these rogues went back to their tents to sleep, while others covered their faces and prepared to jump over walls at night, and then ran out to rob roads and homes.
Little Red Wolf is a small leader with a dozen brothers. They plan to climb over the fence at night and plan to go to Huangjiazhuang.
Last night, he broke into a little widow's house and put her to sleep. When he got up in the morning, he ignored her cries and snatched away her remaining three kilograms of grains.
When he thought of that little widow with tender skin and tender meat, he had endless aftertaste of that taste.
He was wondering if she had hanged herself in the morning.
It's better to go and have a look. If she didn't hang herself, then take the brothers and do something with her again.
Several people ran out of the military camp and were about to run towards Wangjiazhuang. They saw the fence in the distance being knocked down. A large group of people ran out of it rumbled.
They were so frightened that they quickly hid in the grass. They were worried about being seen. If they happened upon such a thing, they might be killed and silenced by those people. Looking at the situation, there must be a leader who is going to take the brothers to do something big.
"The boss is Wang Jiayin's men." Blind Wu, who is blind in one eye, said from the side.
This guy's only good eye shines like a wolf at night.
"Look, the boss, they drove the carriage and took away all their belongings. What are they trying to do? Are they defecting? They don't wear official clothes anymore, and they don't work as soldiers in the camp."
Little Red Wolf was shocked. Wang Jiayin was an actual officer.
He didn't even want an official position and ran away in the middle of the night. What was this for?
The little red wolf thought for a long time and said: "We are not going to Wangjiazhuang. Let's go back and pack up our belongings and leave quickly to Dingbian County."
"What, boss, we've tasted the little widow you mentioned. Why are you leaving now?"
