Chapter 203 Knowing this earlier, why bother

He Jiusi suddenly patted his forehead, showing guilt: "Brother, I almost forgot about this!"

Cheng De cast a puzzled look at He Jiusi.

"Sister-in-law asked me to bring you a word!" He Jiusi looked at Cheng De a little bit erratically.

Cheng De looked at He Jiusi in surprise: "What are you talking about?"

"Sister-in-law said that she has written you several times, let me ask brother why he didn't reply to her?" After He Jiusi finished speaking, he immediately lowered his head and did not meet Cheng De's eyes.

Cheng De was startled when he heard this.

"It's my fault. I didn't consider the feelings of sister Xiuying. I will write a few letters to her after tonight." Cheng De showed a bit of guilt on his face.

These days, he is either dealing with government affairs or military affairs. In his spare time, he still thinks about how to break through Jiqing Road.

Although this is an indisputable fact, as a husband, he did not fulfill his due responsibilities, which is his dereliction of duty.

He Jiusi did not continue to talk about this topic, but changed the subject and said: "Brother, when will we be able to attack Jiqing Road?"

Cheng De sighed softly: "I also want to know this question. I underestimated the Yuan army on Jiqing Road."

"Could it be that there are many Yuan troops on Jiqing Road?" He Jiusi had a puzzled look on his face.

"According to the repeated probing operations these days, the information obtained by our Sizhou Army before was wrong. This episode of Qinglu Yuan Army is not a 10,000+ army at all. This is the fake news released by the Yuan Army." Cheng De said with a face. There was some pain in the face.

Exploratory operations are also wars, and the problem of casualties cannot be avoided.

In the past three months, there have been dozens of times, large and small, and the casualties of the Sizhou Army have reached nearly 6000.This is still the case when all ten cannons are used.

If the artillery is not used in time, then the number of casualties may be several times on this basis.

"How many people are there in the Jiqing Road Yuan Army?" He Jiusi frowned into the word Chuan.

"The number of soldiers in the army is not clear, but there are about 50 soldiers and civilians in the navy. The commander of the navy is named Kang Maocai. As for Jiqing Road, it is guarded by Yuan Yushi doctor Fushou. I originally wanted to inquire about Fushou's information. However, news came from Jueshengwei that the Jueshengwei who was inquiring about Fushou should have been killed." Cheng De looked worried.

"What? 50 navy soldiers and civilians?" He Jiusi looked at Cheng De in shock.

He Jiusi was a little worried. If these 50 soldiers and civilians were able to fight, it would be difficult for Liuhe City's current army of nearly [-] to break through Jiqing Road.

Even if there are 50 civilians among the 40 soldiers and civilians, there are still [-] navy troops, which is a force that cannot be ignored.

Of course, this is just the general situation he imagined. If half of the 50 soldiers and civilians have combat effectiveness, then it will not be so easy to win Jiqing Road.

suddenly.

A question surged in He Jiusi's heart.

"Brother, why are there so many people in the Qinglu Yuan army in this episode, why don't they dare to go out of the city to fight?" He Jiusi kept his eyes on Cheng De.

Cheng De didn't know how to answer He Jiusi's question.

After a while, Cheng Decai said, "Perhaps Fushou, the Yushi doctor of the Yuan Dynasty, was a man who was cautious in using troops!"

He Jiusi's expression froze immediately.

If it is true as the eldest brother said, is there any hope of winning Jiqing Road?

Cheng De turned his head slightly, and when he found that He Jiusi was frowning and thinking, he couldn't help but said: "Don't worry about how to win Jiqing Road, I already have some clues about this matter, just give me a little more time. I will be able to break through Jiqing Road."

The expression on He Jiusi's face suddenly eased a lot: "Brother, I believe in you!"

Cheng De said with a smile: "Your words put more pressure on me."

He Jiusi's face suddenly collapsed.

"Okay, let's not talk about this. By the way, you are in Sizhou City, did Lan Yu and the others make any trouble?"

"No. Lan Yu and Li Wenzhong get up at midnight every day and lead the children's army for military training. They know how to lead by example. Given time, maybe Lan Yu and the others can become talents!"

"Really? This way, I feel more at ease. I heard the news from Jueshengwei that some brothers in the past committed crimes, and they still ask you for mercy?"

He Jiusi was silent there.

"Brothers' wives and old wives, they guard outside my house every day."

Seeing the troubled expression on He Jiusi's face, Cheng De comforted him: "You should not get involved in this matter in the future. In the past, twenty of our brothers started an incident, but now, except for Li Sanqi and He Sanwu, Besides you, the other brothers are too angry! If they don't commit crimes, I will naturally make them and their families rich and noble for a lifetime. But, you also know, what have they done?"

"Aren't they slapping me in the face for what they did? I even punished Guo Tianxu according to the law. Because of this, the Guo family almost cut off contact with my general's mansion. It's just a pain for Xiuying and let her It’s hard to be caught in it.”

"Twenty of us brothers started the uprising until now. I didn't expect much from the other brothers. I just hoped that they wouldn't hold me back at the critical moment, and wouldn't do some stupid things. I kept my eyes open. Just turn a blind eye and pretend it never happened. It's just that they let me down so much!"

When Cheng De said this, his face was extremely ugly.

He Jiusi didn't answer, and he didn't know how to continue pleading for those brothers.

Because he knew that what those brothers did was unreasonable, and they also committed things prohibited by the "Sizhou Law".

If it is done in accordance with the "Sizhou Law", some brothers may be killed for their lives.

Others may spend the rest of their lives in exile or prison.

"Brother, I didn't expect those brothers to do things that would harm the people. When they rode on the heads of the people to do their best, I thought that they and we were all mixed up from the people. I It’s hard to accept. Power has blinded the eyes of those brothers.” He Jiusi’s eyes were a little red.

Cheng De looked at He Jiusi's sincere expression, and just sighed: "Why not? The deadliest poison in the world is not crane crest or arsenic, but power! Those brothers , and we are both untouchables in the eyes of Yuan people and mud legs in the eyes of scholars. But once you taste the taste of power, you forget about expelling the barbarians and restoring China, and all you think about is gaining More concubines, fields, property, and power. If they know that it will end up like this, it’s just the beginning, why don’t they do nothing?”

He Jiusi fell into deep thought, and after a while, he opened his mouth and said, "Brother, I thought that the Sizhou Army must be vigilant about this kind of thing. I am worried that some people in the army are like those brothers, gradually thinking about What concubines, fields, goods, power."

Cheng De nodded and said: "What you said is not unreasonable. I will let Shi Naian find a way to solve this matter. Of course, I will stay in the barracks for the rest of the time. I want to reverse this injustice. When this unhealthy trend disappears, then it will be the best time for us to attack Jiqing Road. I don’t want any incidents of barracks screaming and rebellion during the attack on Jiqing Road.”

"Brother, I want to double check, those brothers, is there really no way to deal with them leniently?" He Jiusi looked closely at Cheng De.

Cheng De looked into He Jiusi's eyes and said firmly: "They are all guilty of homicide cases, and they must be prosecuted for breaking the law. The Ministry of Punishment will punish them according to the "Sizhou Law". This opening must not be opened. Once Open, then, our Sizhou army expelling the Hulu and restoring China is a joke!"

"Will that harm your family?" He Jiusi asked Cheng De.

Cheng De thought for a while, and then said: "This matter will not harm the family. However, the land and property they are greedy for should be returned to the original owner. If the original owner is dead, it will be returned to the household department. Also, I will send people to monitor their family members, and I will remove them until I confirm that their family members have no intention of revenge against our Sizhou army."

He Jiusi bowed towards Cheng De and said, "Thank you, brother, for your kindness!"

Cheng De accepted it calmly, looked at He Jiusi and said, "Did the Ministry of Punishments say that they are going to sit together?"

He Jiusi nodded heavily.

Cheng De said to He Jiusi: "The legal principle is nothing more than human feelings. I will send someone to communicate with the people in the Ministry of Punishment for this law, so that they can amend this article."

He Jiusi was overjoyed: "Brother is benevolent and righteous, and the people under Sizhou are blessed!"

Cheng De looked at He Jiusi emptily: "Don't just stay here and flatter me! When will you return to Sizhou City?"

He Jiusi showed hesitation.

"Just say what you have to say, who will show you a constipated appearance?" Cheng De glared at He Jiusi.

He Jiusi asked cautiously: "Brother, am I able to stay and attack Jiqing Road with Big Brother?"

Cheng De was silent.

He Jiusi's gaze remained on Cheng De all the time.

a long time.

Cheng Decai said quietly: "You can be a general in front of me first, and I will leave the personal soldiers to you."

"Follow the order!" He Jiusi replied with a smile.

"Remember, when fighting, don't be impulsive. Follow the army!" Cheng De told He Jiusi.

He Jiusi was moved in his heart: "Yes, big brother! But no matter what, I, He Jiusi, will protect big brother to the death!"

Cheng De looked at He Jiusi with relief: "It is enough for you to have this heart. Now, only Li Sanqi, He Sanwu, and you are left among the brothers who rebelled together. I hope to wait In the future, when the Sizhou Army truly drives out the barbarians and restores China, you brothers will be able to enjoy the wealth and honor with me! I don’t hope that by that time, I will be the only one left alone!”

He Jiusi grinned and said, "As long as I live, I, He Jiusi, will follow Big Brother to the end."

"Well. That's all for now, I'm going to deal with military affairs. My pro-barracks, you go and deal with them yourself. With my orders, they won't have any objections."

He Jiusi nodded slightly.

Seeing this, Cheng De left, leaving He Jiusi alone.

Looking at Cheng De's leaving back, He Jiusi murmured: "Brother is right. Presumably, those brothers have no reason to blame me for not interceding. Hey! If I knew this before, why did I do it in the first place?"
