Chapter 19 Departure
Xu Chu's roar immediately calmed the soldiers of the palace. The military law of the Great Yan Empire was strict. Although Li Bin was only temporarily appointed by the county magistrate Chen Fu as the vanguard of the Leishan County Government Army, leading a team of war soldiers and a team of auxiliary soldiers, Li Bin had the right to enforce military laws on these government soldiers.
If there are soldiers on the battlefield who do not obey military orders, Li Bin can even kill them directly.
Seeing that the soldiers of the palace stopped whispering, Li Bin shouted loudly: "Many people probably don't know me, but you just need to remember that I am your commander. As for how to wipe out the bandits in Jiguanling, you don't have to worry about it, just obey the orders and fight to kill the thieves! I promise you that the property seized by the bandits this time, except for the batch of goods that the county magistrate was robbed, I will divide the remaining property equally according to military merits!"
The soldiers of the Dayan Empire had no military pay, but if one soldier in the family was a soldier, the family could be exempted from the tuition of three people who had become a soldier, and the family's tuition of ten acres of land.
The auxiliary soldiers of the government soldiers can reduce their taxes and exempt their taxes from their families from their five acres of land.
In addition, the property seized in the battle is the benefit of the soldiers participating in the battle. Of course, the property seized will generally be occupied by the generals led by the soldiers for themselves, and not many of them can be distributed to the soldiers.
Unfortunately, Li Bin's promise to seize property did not arouse the excitement of the soldiers. In the eyes of these soldiers, it was impossible for them to destroy the bandits in Jiguanling just by relying on their team of soldiers.
Li Bin also had no energy to convince the soldiers of the mansion to believe him. This time he went to Jiguanling to suppress the bandits, Li Bin's reliance was not just the hundred soldiers of the mansion.
Dian Wei and Xu Chu, two powerful generals of the warrior level, are Li Bin's confidence in suppressing bandits this time.
One hundred war soldiers and one hundred auxiliary soldiers were the most ordinary soldiers. After the government soldiers in Leishan County were recruited, the Li family soldiers were temporarily appointed as the chief, with the deputy team and the team leader. Now Li Bin can only dispatch the people around him to lead the troops.
According to Li Bin's arrangement, Lin Xiang and Lin Hao led 100 auxiliary soldiers to carry food and grass, Dian Wei and Xu Chu each led three soldiers, and Li Bin and Li Meng each led two soldiers.
Li Bin and his men and their men were only familiar with each other for an afternoon. Early the next morning, the team of Leishan County cleared out the Jiguanling bandits for the second time.
In addition to a large amount of food and grass, there were also five hundred heavy arrows and five hundred light arrows obtained by Li Bin from the county government arsenal.
In addition, the infantry heavy armor worn by Li Bin and the other six was too heavy to be worn and could not be worn all the time. It was also placed on several flatbed carriages. Li Bin and the others only wore leather armor on their bodies.
Although the county government in Leishan County tried hard to block the matter of sending troops to Jiguanling to suppress the bandits, when Li Bin led the bandit suppression team out of the city, many people watching the fun gathered on both sides of the streets near the city gate, including many soldiers and the families of the auxiliary soldiers to see them off.
Li Meng's mother, Li Bin's second aunt Sun, also came to the street near the city gate. Li Bin and Li Meng hurried to Sun's side.
"Binzi, what's going on? Why do you and Mengzi want to lead troops to suppress the bandits?" Sun asked anxiously. Li Meng had not returned home in the past two days. Sun did not know the cause and effect of Li Bin and Li Meng going to suppress the bandits, nor did he even know that Li Bin became the new owner of Hongyun Gambling Hall.
Li Bin then briefly explained the situation to Sun, and then said comfortingly: "Don't worry, Second Aunt, although I am not 100% sure and completely flatten the bandits in Jiguanling, I still have confidence in bringing these brothers around me back safely. My martial arts are no less than that of Second Uncle, and there will be no danger."
Li Meng followed and said, "Mom, don't worry. With the martial arts of our brothers, and the martial arts of our brothers, and a hundred soldiers and soldiers of the palace, they will definitely return in triumph."
Sun glared at Li Meng, "You are the only one who can do it. Did you, the little bastard, instigate your elder brother to rob the Hongyun Gambling Hall? Otherwise, how could your elder brother be so honest? How could you do such a thing? When you come back this time, let me see how I deal with you!"
Li Bin hurriedly rescued Li Meng and said, "Second Aunt, it's my own idea for Hongyun Gambling Hall. The main reason is that Cui Hu did things too much, Mengzi just helped me."
Sun then waved his hand and said, "Binzi, you don't have to cover up this little bastard. I don't know what your brothers are. It must be the idea that this little bastard came up with."
Li Bin and Li Meng looked at each other and did not continue to explain to Sun again, but Li Meng looked depressed, and Li Bin's smile was very bright on his face.
Then Sun said to Li Meng: "Little bastard, this time I go to Jiguanling, you must protect your elder brother. If your elder brother loses a hair, your father will be able to chop you alive when he comes back."
Sun did not know that Li Bin had increased his strength, and Li Meng knew about this before, and even Li Bin's father Li Zhao didn't know about it. However, now Lin Xiang and Lin Hao also knew that Li Bin had become extremely powerful after being struck by lightning.
Li Bin still trusts Lin Xiang and Lin Hao very much, and even the matter of Dian Wei and Xu Chu being masters and warriors did not hide it from them.
Li Meng smiled bitterly and said, "Mom, don't worry, I will definitely protect my brother."
Li Bin told Li Meng that he would not tell his second aunt Sun first if he had become stronger, otherwise with Sun's personality, this matter would soon become known to everyone.
"Binzi, this time you lead troops to suppress bandits, you must be cautious and cautious. Never act irresponsible. If you don't work, take people back to the county town as soon as possible!"
"I understand, Second Aunt and the second master of the Li family also explained this."
The county town of Leishan County is about ninety miles away from Jiguanling. On the morning of May 21, Li Bin led his troops out of the county town and walked about sixty miles that day.
When the time arrived, Li Bin ordered the marching to stop and chose an open area to set up a simple camp.
Li Bin was worried that the bandits in Jiguanling might get news and ambush their team halfway, especially at night, and attacked the camp. So he sent a lot of posts at night and even ordered the soldiers to sleep in armor.
Li Bin, Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Li Meng, Lin Xiang, and Lin Hao, six others, even put on their own heavy infantry armor outside the leather armor.
Li Meng sat next to the campfire wearing heavy infantry armor, yawned and said to Li Bin: "Brother, are we so careful? It's really uncomfortable to sleep in such heavy armor."
Li Bin was already lying on the ground by the bonfire wearing heavy infantry armor, with a bundle of hay on his head. Li Bin's helmet, shield and the iron hammer weighing 158 kilograms were all placed beside Li Bin's side within reach.
Li Bin immediately said, "Mengzi, although I have never brought troops, I am careful not to make a mistake. The news that we led troops to Jiguanling has almost spread throughout the county. The bandits in Jiguanling may have received the news, so we would rather work harder than be prepared to prevent bandits from attacking the camp at night. After all, the lives of so many people are equally in our hands."
Xu Chu, who was also lying next to the campfire, said at this time: "What the lord said makes sense. Be careful, there is no big mistake. We are not playing house. If you are negligent, you will die."
Li Meng moved his stiff neck for a moment, then stood up, "Brother, Brother Xu, you guys go to bed first! I can't sleep a little, I'll check the guard post again to see if anyone is lazy to sleep."
