Start a Ming Dynasty plane

Chapter 182

Why did Wangyu transport more than a dozen carts up the mountain the day after the Fan family was robbed?
After hearing this, Hu Wan narrowed his eyes, Cao Qianhu glanced at Tang Qianhu, and said nothing, but Hu Wan looked at Tang Qianhu and said, "Tang Qianhu, this matter is serious."

"It's true, I haven't verified it, but the news has spread all over the city, my lord."

Tang Qianhu said, Hu Wan heard this and said: "The whole city knows it, what do you think of Cao Qianhu?"

Cao Qianhu said at this time: "The source of the news is unknown, maybe someone spread it on purpose."

"Oh, Cao Qianhu thinks that someone deliberately led this matter to the old Taoist Wang Yuhe?"

Hu Wan looked at Cao Qianhu and asked.

"The specific situation is unknown, but is it important, my lord? The commander told us not to lose too much and not return empty-handed. Isn't this Wangyu exactly in line with our goal? As for whether he is the murderer of the Fan family case, is it important?" ?”

Hearing this, Hu Wan's mouth cracked and he said, "Yes? Is it important? Let the brothers have a full meal today, and gather the army tomorrow to attack Wangyu. I will use a victory to avenge my shame."

"promise."

At this time, Cao Qianhu and Tang Qianhu said together, and then went to arrange the army to prepare for tomorrow's attack.

The day after Wanyu was robbed at Fan's house, more than a dozen large boxes of things were transported to the mountain. The news spread like wildfire, and soon spread throughout Lantian County. Think about it, even Chang'an Weidu, who has just entered Lantian County After getting the news, how could the six overlords who have been running Lantian for many years know nothing about it.

At this time, the other overlords were skeptical. The two brothers Liu Yidao and Liu Zongmin heard the news in the cottage, and their first reaction was to not believe it. It's Guanshan who can't come out, he can go and rob the Fan family in the county seat, causing such a catastrophe, this is not in line with He Laodao's usual style of doing things.

And the most ridiculous thing is that the next day he transported ten carts back to the mountain, and was seen by others. This was too careless, and it didn't seem like what He Laodao did.

So this matter was obviously planted and framed by someone, playing dirty hands.

The two of them thought about it, and suddenly felt something wrong. Could it be that the old Taoist Wangyuhe played tricks on everyone in reverse, just using his usual image, and then doing the opposite, really robbing the Fan family? , and then let everyone think he was wronged?
Don't think it's impossible. Banditry is the same as fighting wars. They all play the trick of making real and false, and false and false.

So the two are dubious now, but the two quickly chose to remain silent. After all, this matter has nothing to do with Dongtangyu, just eat melons honestly.

Xiaoyangyu Song Laosan’s reaction was similar to Dongtangyu’s. It’s none of my business. I’d better prepare for my 57th birthday honestly.

Monk Peng of Daogou Valley was very confused at this moment. No wonder He Laodao took over the Fan family, no wonder I asked him to join forces and he quit. He insisted on investing in Qingyu. Let's see if Qingyu is tough and Chang'an guards the birds, so he is going to secretly seek refuge in Qingyu. When the time comes, he will make a fortune silently, and Qingyu will take the risk.

As for Wangyu's foundation, this may be a certificate of merit and sent to Qingyu. After all, surrendering empty-handed always lacks some sincerity. Okay, He Laodao, you are insidious.

For a while, all the wind blew to Mr. He Laodao in Wangyu, and after hearing the news, Mr. He jumped up, good guy, who planted and framed this, isn't it because he hates the old Taoist?No wonder I always feel like I'm in a bloodbath recently, no, I have to act immediately, otherwise I and these apprentices and grandchildren will definitely be confiscated by Chang'an Wei.

Thinking about it, He Laodao said: "Disciples."

"Master."

Some managers on the mountain looked at He Laodao together at this moment, and He Laodao said at this time: "Organize people, hire more carts for me, and take all the valuable things and all the grain stored in the cottage, let's go to Qingyu .”

"what?"

After hearing this, the disciples were all stupefied. The whole cottage moved to seek refuge with someone else. Shouldn't they send someone to discuss with the other party in advance, and make a preliminary agreement with each other before acting?

In this process, you can also ask for advice and bargain, such as resettlement issues, the treatment of the past, and so on. If your family does not agree to accept you, you will move out of the village. What if they do not agree?
Thinking of a group of people starting to persuade He Laodao, He Laodao looked at the group of apprentices and grandchildren and said only one sentence: "It's too late, so from now on, those who are willing to follow the old way to seek refuge in Qingyu, follow the old way, all those who are not willing, Take one tael of silver, ten catties of grain, and make a living for yourself."

What He Laodao said was very decisive. After hearing this, these apprentices and grandchildren, after the initial entanglement, most of them chose to join He Laodao in the Qingyu, but there were also those who were unwilling, and directly received the grain and money, and went to fend for themselves .

As for what to do, then no one cares. After doing all this, He Laodao will directly lead people to Qingyu, and send a horse on the way to inform Qingyu. At least you have to give Qingyu a reaction time.

A team of fast horses went straight to Qingyu. On Qingyu Mountain, Li Chaohu was in the post-war summary meeting to summarize the advantages and disadvantages of this battle. This was requested by Li Chaosheng. Our team is an open people's team. Every time we fight, we must A summary meeting is held to let every fighter know how he performed in this battle and how much he has made as a result.

This is a magic weapon for winning. Li Chaosheng learned from the team of great men, and in the gradual improvement, Li Chaosheng's idea is to let every soldier have a sense of participation and mission, and let them know that they are not fighting to be officials. But for myself, for my family.

This summary meeting for each battle can give the soldiers who have done meritorious service a sense of honor.

Let everyone see how outstanding the outstanding soldier is in this battle, and receive everyone's applause and cheers, honors and awards, which will stimulate the soldier to work harder.

Secondly, those who do not perform well should be criticized and made to feel ashamed, such as those who are cowardly and dare not fight, or those who retreat and are afraid of death, and what is more, they will be deprived of their military glory, directly stripped of their military uniforms, and let them go to build corps and farm land .

But even if such a person goes to build a Corps, he will be laughed at by a group of old, weak, sick and disabled. Humans are social animals, who can completely ignore the eyes of others, and who can stand being rubbed on the spine every day.

This way it doesn’t have to last long, one or two months, give these people another chance, let them go back to the barracks, and these people will immediately prove themselves like crazy, this may be the interpretation of the idiom of knowing shame and then being brave.

They will be even more reckless when fighting, in order to wash away the crimes on their bodies and a burden in their hearts.

It has to be said that these advanced experiences of leading troops are definitely not something that the ancients could figure out. The ancient army often focused on the formation and training, but the truly terrifying army paid attention to the spirit.

The spiritual construction of the army is the most important. This is also the core part of the difference between the modern army and the ancient army. The ancient army worked hard, but now the army is guarding. In combat, a sense of honor and a sense of mission will transform a cowardly person into a qualified fighter.

This is the army in Li Chaosheng's mind, and he is working hard towards such an army. Li Chaosheng has only temporarily added a post-war summary, and will introduce pre-war seminars in the future.

This is an even more advanced thing, that is, before the battle, let the officer tell the soldiers the purpose of the battle and the goals to be achieved, and allow everyone to discuss it.

For example, the task of our first squad in today's battle is to capture a certain high ground, so the squad leader has to brainstorm and ask us whether we should charge head-on, attack in a roundabout way, or make a false attack while assaulting, or what.

To mobilize the subjective initiative of each soldier, everyone discusses it together. The headquarters only needs to issue specific orders, plan the general direction, and then turn the big goals into small goals and send out small tasks.

Then all the soldiers will know what to do in this battle, wait for the big guys to know what to do, have a goal, even if the commander dies, even if the main force cannot be contacted, this small unit can continue to execute orders.

And every soldier will have enough sense of participation, because this battle plan also has its own wisdom in it, rather than something that was thought up by a high-ranking official.

This kind of everyone works harder than being forced to instill a certain order.

The meeting went smoothly. Each unit first conducted a review, such as what we did not achieve in this battle, and what can be improved in the future, followed by Li Chaohu’s commendation. For example, who performed bravely during this confrontation, who A slight injury can't leave the line of fire. For this kind of excellent soldier, there is not much else to say. The credit book will be recorded, and three catties of fat meat will be given out as a commendation.

The meeting was coming to an end, when the soldiers guarding the mountain at the foot of the mountain immediately came to report: "Battle Commander, Battalion Commander, there is someone from Wangyu, and they want to see the Battalion Commander."

Li Chaohu was making a concluding speech at this time, he waved his hand and said, "Let him wait, I still have a few words to say."

After hearing this, the man hesitated and said, "You should go and have a look, Battalion Commander. I think his matter is very important."

"What is more important than my meeting?"

Li Chaohu stared at the man, and the man said with a bitter face: "Battle Commander, the man said that Wangyu raised the village to vote, and he came to make an announcement and let us get ready."

"I thought it was a big deal, so why don't you raise the village, wait a minute, raise the village to vote?"

Li Chaohu said that he was about to continue to say a few more words, but suddenly he was stunned. What is the concept of raising the village to vote? Does it mean that all the people in Wangyu, including He Laodao, have come to seek refuge?

Thinking of Li Chaohu looking at the messenger, who gave an affirmative nod, Li Chaohu was stunned for a moment, and then he stared and said: "Where is the man, I will go and see."

"It's just outside the city, I didn't dare to let him in."

Li Chaohu said at this time: "Invite people in first, first company commander, come, come to make a concluding speech today, I will go and have a look."

"Yes."

Shi Dalei immediately took over the task of speaking at the end. At this time, Luo Heita, Li Dezhen, and Niu Ben all left the table secretly.

At this time, Qingyu was in the living room. At this time, the messenger called the people from Wangyu and said, "Our Dazhai Lord is waiting for you inside. Go and have a look."

The messenger thanked him, followed into the house, and saw Li Chaohu was waiting for him, at this moment the man bowed and said, "I have seen the master of the village."

Li Chaohu looked at the people coming and said, "What did you just say, you came to vote in the village in Wangyu?"

At this moment, the messenger looked at Li Chaohu and said: "Yes, the village master, our village master is already on the way here, and there are 570 people from the whole village, as well as everyone's accompanying weapons, as well as food and grass. Five thousand dans, 3000 taels of silver in the cottage, everything, our village owner said to give to Qingyu."

Hearing this, Li Chaohu was stunned, looked at the messenger and said: "What kind of tricks are you village masters playing? This silent refuge, I am not prepared at all?"

The messenger said at this time: "To tell you the truth, the chief of the village, in fact, I don't know why our chief of the village did this."

After hearing this, Li Chaohu said: "Then you are not afraid that I will not accept it?"

After hearing this, the messenger smiled and said: "Our village master's original words are that we sincerely come to vote. It is Qingyu's business whether to accept it or not. It is our business whether we vote or not. Everyone should do their best. things will do."

Hearing this, Li Chaohu was stunned, and said for a long time: "You wait in the cottage for a while, and I will think about it."

Li Chaohu turned around and left after thinking about it. He couldn't decide on such a big matter. He had to ask Li Chaosheng for instructions.

Li Chaohu went directly to the telegraph room, and when Li Chaohu came out, several people from Li Dezhen came over and asked, "Battle Commander, what's the situation?"

Li Chaohu said: "I don't know what's going on. This Wangyu led the whole village well, and 570 people came to vote. Who knows what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd?"

After hearing this, Li Dezhen said: "Are they really all in the village to vote? It's such a big game, the good king of the mountain quits?"

Luo Heita on the side also frowned and said, "It can't be a conspiracy, can it?"

Niu Ben said: "No way, although the number of people in Wangyu is about the same as ours, it's not difficult for us to eat them. If it's a conspiracy, it's too, too..."

"Too stupid, isn't it?"

At this time, Li Chaohu helped Niu Ben to add a word. Li Chaohu learned almost all the modern popular swear words. After Li Chaosheng's training, at this time, two fashionable swear words often popped out of his mouth.

Niu Ben nodded and said, "That's right, it's just brain damage, this is too brain damage."

Li Chaohu said at this time: "I don't know the details. I'm going to ask the head of the group first to see what the head of the group means. Anyway, the initiative of the matter is with us now. It doesn't matter whether we accept it or not."

After hearing this, Li Chaohu went into the telegraph room to send a telegram to Li Chaosheng.

Li Chaosheng was dealing with the tax officials sent by the county at this time. I have to say that the tax officials photographed by the county were professional. It was directly as high as more than 1000 taels. Although Li Chaosheng didn't take this small amount of money seriously, Li Chaosheng thought about it and let Li Chaolong contact it.

Then, after a meal of wine and meat, I stuffed two tax officials with 200 taels of red envelopes. In the end, the more than 1000 taels of silver directly became 200 taels, which was lower than the previous 500 taels of tax silver. Li Chaolong asked how to operate it. At this time, he smiled and said: "What is the difference between inferior fields and wasteland? There is no difference. Your family has a thousand acres of inferior fields, but in our opinion, less than half of them can be cultivated. The rest is wasteland. What is the value of taxation?" .”

Li Chaolong was stunned at the time, and followed by two tax officials who said that if the higher-ups hadn't been careful this year, they could have saved a lot, and it would not be impossible to drop it to more than 100 taels. Reduced to 180 taels.

After a feast of guests and hosts, the tax official was sent away. Li Chaolong reported the situation to Li Chaosheng truthfully. After hearing this, Li Chaosheng sighed. This is how the Ming Dynasty fell. In corruption, when the time comes, the people will be poor and the court will be poor. 18 years later, a promising dynasty will not even be able to spend a mere 100 million taels, so it deserves to perish.

Li Chaosheng sighed helplessly. In fact, he still liked Daming Li Chaosheng quite a lot. Emperor Hongwu had a bowl at the beginning and a country at the end.

What can I do.

"Leader, Qingyu telegram."

Li Chaosheng was sighing, when Gu Zi came to report, after hearing this, Li Chaosheng raised his head and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Regimental Commander, Battalion Commander Li Chaohu reported that Wanyu He Laodao led 570 people from the entire village to seek refuge in Qingyu, and brought weapons, 3000 dans of grain, and [-] taels of silver."

After hearing this, Li Chaosheng was stunned: "What? Wangyu He Laodao surrendered?"

Li Chaosheng frowned, and immediately said: "What is this playing, there is no fraud, right?"

But Li Chaosheng thought about it and thought it was wrong. If there was fraud, why did he even bring five thousand loads of food and silver? I said that there is some big power behind, could it be that he sincerely surrendered?
Li Chaosheng fell into deep thought. Hearing the news, Guo Bao and Li Chaolong all rushed over. Li Chaolong looked at Li Chaosheng and said, "Commander, I heard that the whole village in Wangyu came to vote. Is there a fraud?"

Li Chaosheng said at this time: "I'm thinking about this too."

Li Chaosheng looked up at several people and said, "It happens that everyone is here, and everyone discusses and brainstorms together."

After hearing this, Gu Zi said, "I don't think this is a false surrender."

After hearing this, Li Chaosheng looked at Guzi and said, "Oh, Guzi, tell me your opinion?"

At this time, Gu Zi said: "You haven't been out of the village recently, head, I don't know that there have been rumors outside, say, say..."

"Say what?"

Li Chaosheng looked at Gu Zi, and Gu Zi smiled and said, "Say, on the second day after Fan's family was attacked, some people saw Wang Yu pulling more than a dozen large carriages up the mountain, and some people suspected that Wang Yu robbed the Fan family." .”

"Someone has the rhythm."

After Li Chaosheng heard this, he immediately realized that it was obvious that someone was following the rhythm, and he was going to put this shit pot on Wang Yu's body. Now that Chang'an Wei had just suffered a defeat, he was about to turn the situation around, so he squeezed a soft persimmon along the way. Now that there is such a rumor, it is obvious that Wangyu is going to be wiped out.

Then it became clear that Wangyu was so anxious to seek refuge in Qingyu. It was probably to find a backer.

Li Chaosheng nodded, then fell into deep thought, glanced at Guo Bao and said, "What do you think?"

Guo Bao smiled at this time and said: "In fact, you don't have to be so entangled. It doesn't matter whether Wang Yu is sincerely seeking refuge or has other intentions. The important thing is that the initiative is in our hands now. To paraphrase an old saying, People are fish and meat, I am swordsman, I can do whatever I want."

"Uh, that ancient man said that?"

Li Chaolong asked with a dark face, "I have heard of Rendaozu for Yurou, but I have obviously never heard of this sentence. Guo Bao smiled and said: "I played a little bit, it's not important."

Li Chaolong didn't say anything, but Li Chaosheng smiled and said: "Haha... Interesting, interesting, people are fish and I am a knife, I can do whatever I want. What am I struggling with? What is there to be troubled with, hahaha..."

Li Chaosheng got up with a smile, looked at Gu Zi and said, "I ordered Li Chaohu, Qingyu fully accepted Wangyu's people, and expressed enough courtesy. In addition, Wangyu went to other mountains to know that there would be troubles, so let Li Chaohu take care of it. To ensure the safety of Wangyu people and horses, there must be no loss."

"Secondly, after entering the cottage, all the people and horses in Wangyu disarmed their weapons, put their weapons and horses into the warehouse, stored the grain separately, and put the silver into the silver warehouse. Everyone gathered together and asked Yang Shubai to carry out ideological reform for a period of one month. After one month, choose one of them. 400 people with excellent item values ​​will be expanded to 1000 people in Qingyu, and the rest will be sent to the Construction Corps to carry out the construction of Qingyu."

"Yes."

Gu Zi saluted and turned to send a telegram. Li Chaosheng smiled and said: "Fatty, you are very good at saying that you can do whatever you want. You seem to have the talent of a dog-headed military officer."

Guo Bao heard this and said: "I am a serious document, what kind of dog-headed military adviser, and my boss, please call me Guo Bao, don't give me random nicknames."

Li Chaosheng laughed when he heard this, "That's my nickname for you, it means that I don't treat you as an outsider, you really are kind enough to treat you like a donkey."

Li Chaosheng said with a smile, then looked at Li Chaolong and said, "By the way, how are the villagers doing with the expansion of the pond?"

Li Chaolong said: "Everyone is very enthusiastic. There is obviously not enough food this year. There is such a person who can eat and work for free. Everyone is very happy."

Li Chaosheng nodded after hearing this.

Recently, Li Chaosheng is going to help Tanggou Town with some things. The first is to dig a reservoir. This is for storing water in winter. It snows in winter. Don’t waste the snow on this road. Push it all into the reservoir. Next year, it will be a reservoir of water , irrigated farmland is excellent.

And because of the serious reduction in grain storage this year, after Li Chaosheng launched the work of digging reservoirs to manage rice, everyone was very active. After all, this winter is coming, and the grain in the fields is gone. If you want to eat, you can go out to work now, and you can still eat for a living. You can save food at home and use it at critical times. What a great thing this is.

Everyone is very active, and Li Chaosheng is also very happy. After all, potatoes are the main food they eat now. Potatoes don’t last as long as regular grains, so we have to hurry up and consume them. Apart from saving seeds, we can eat all the food. I ate it.

So before the land was frozen, everyone started digging ponds and began to prepare for the possible disasters in the coming year. This kind of pond is very useful. It can be used to irrigate the fields in drought, and it can be used to discharge floods when it is flooded. They are all very precious. .

Working here in full swing, I saw Wang Laocai from the same village licking his teeth for a while, what is the Li family doing?There is no place to use the food, and it is used to repair the pond. This is something that the court doesn't care about. Can your family manage it?
From Wang Laocai's point of view, this is stupidity. Food is so precious, and it is already [-] or [-] yuan now. When the spring is cold and cold, it will be more expensive, and maybe it will double and go up.

If he hadn't been afraid that the tenant farmers would rebel, he wouldn't have sold grain, and would have directly sold it at a high price in the next year.

Wang Laocai secretly scolded Li Chaosheng as a prodigal, but the entire Tanggou Town at this time, whether it was the Wang family or the Li family, regarded Li Chaosheng as the real savior, and his status rose sharply, quickly comparing Wang Laocai and his ilk.

When everyone has nothing to eat and is worried about food, Li Chaosheng is willing to help everyone with food. Now how much food is worth, everyone is not stupid. The price of food will definitely be higher in the New Year. What is it if it is not a living Bodhisattva?
As for asking everyone to dig a reservoir, that’s not a big deal at all. If you are idle, you are idle. Digging a hole is not allowed for a while. Why do you still want to have food while lying down? I really don’t know what to think?
Therefore, Li Chaosheng's current status is really high. It can be said that the most influential and unambiguous person in the entire Tanggou Town is Li Chaosheng.

Li Chaosheng continued to vigorously prepare for next year's disaster relief in the village. At the same time, Li Chaohu also received a telegram from Li Chaosheng.

After taking a look at the telegram, Li Chaohu was convinced, and immediately shouted to the outside: "Come in."

The next moment, Shi Dalei, Luo Heita, Li Dezhen, and Niu Ben, who had just finished the meeting, came in, followed by Qiqi and laughed, "What does the leader mean?"

After hearing this, Li Chaohu passed the telegram to a few people, and after a few people read it, Shi Dalei laughed and said: "We are going to expand it again."

Hearing this, Li Chaohu looked at Shi Dalei and said: "Don't talk like [-] people, hurry back and assemble the team, you all go out with me one after another, and meet the brothers in Wangyu."

"Yes."

Hearing this, Shi Dalei saluted immediately, then looked at Li Dezhen and said: "Dezhen, go to the backyard and call Meng Zi up."

"Ah, this also brings Uncle Meng Zi?"

Li Dezhen said at this time, after hearing this, Li Chaohu said: "Wangyu wants to join us, and the other mountain valleys will definitely block it when they get the news. This battle on the ground, we Mengzi can use it. These days, Mengzi is old." It's pointless to yell, this one is just for him to loosen his bones."

After hearing this, Li Dezhen smiled and said, "Okay."

Li Chaomeng has been staying in Qingyu recently. After all, Li Chaosheng is staying in Tanggou Town and guarded by security forces. A fierce general guards.

Soon Mengzi was called over, and Shi Dalei also gathered the team, ready to go, but at this moment Qingfengmingyue hurried over, seeing Li Chaomeng said that they must go together.

Li Chaohu thought for a while, they were originally from Wangyu, and there was nothing wrong with following them, so he allowed the two of them to follow, and they were riding horses at this time, Qingfeng looked at Mingyue and said, "Mingyue, this time we are in the same group again. gone."

After hearing this, Mingyue smiled and said: "Yes, I will follow you to build the canal in the future."

After hearing this, Qingfeng said: "Don't, it's a waste of repairing the canal with the talented Yue Minglou and me. You should go back to your old business. Maybe the head of the team needs documents, so you can give it a try."

Mingyue smiled wryly after hearing this: "Yue Minglou is dead, there is no Yueminglou there now, only the bandit Mingyue."

Qingfeng shook his head when he heard the words. Mingyue's real name is Yueminglou. She used to be a scholar in the south of the Yangtze River. She has three excellent poems and essays. It's just that she failed the imperial examinations and failed many times, but she is very clear about poetry. Therefore, on the flower boat in Yangzhou, Mingyue is the most beautiful My son often writes a poem to a popular girl, and the girl's social status increases by one point.

It can be said that except for the imperial examination, he is a talent for everything, even if he fails the imperial examination, he can live a safe life in this way, but later his family offended the local prefect, and the prefect found a reason to send his family to the guillotine. I got the tip-off from the girls in advance, so I ran away.

Far away from the south of the Yangtze River, I don’t know how far I traveled before I ran to Shaanxi, but I was hungry and fainted on the road. Later, I was adopted by He Laodao and taught martial arts. The text is really very good, especially the writing is eloquent and the writing is very empathetic.

A piece of writing is brilliant, and can be regarded as a great talent, but Mingyue hates this kind of self the most, thinking that he is a scholar who is useless. When the whole family went to the guillotine, if he could master martial arts, he might be able to fight. , rescued one or two people, no matter how bad it was, I would have no regrets if I put my life in it, but now even if I have a good writing style and no connections, but I can't become an official, I can only fight with the singers. Useful.

So Mingyue thinks that studying literature is useless, and learning martial arts is the first.

The two said, the army set out, Li Chaohu took the lead, Li Chaomeng was next to him, carrying a mixed iron rod on his back, followed by Shi Dalei, with 200 soldiers and horses, they came out of the mountain to meet them.

At this time, the news that Wangyu He Laodao planned to join the Qingyu village was also learned by Tanma, and immediately spread to the ears of the village owners in various valleys. Everyone was shocked by this news for a while. .

Daiyu has one ear.

Snapped!
"what!"

One ear who got the news dropped the wine bowl in his hand, stood up all of a sudden, his eyes widened like copper bells.

"Can you say that again!"

The spy who was watching the report with one ear said sharply.
