Chapter 42: Convince the Public

Min Yuanqi pursed his lips and quietly looked at the crowd leaving. He didn't make any noise when he heard the complaining sound. He just stood under the eaves with his hands behind his back, looking at the dark distance.

After about two quarters of an hour, the complaints that people should complain were over. Most of the houses turned off the lights and the village returned to silence.

Heavy breathing sounds came from all around, and Min Yuanqi looked around and finally smiled.

After many days of meticulous work, various subtle training of military disciplines and disciplines, the subtle influence of personal food delivery every day, the upcoming threats and prospects of wealth, the group of people in front of me finally remained.

Most of the small banner officials under the hundred households were left, and only a few old people left in a cowardly manner. Min Yuanjin and Liang Shifa were captured and of course they were not there, and almost all the other small banner officials remained.

The trained flag army, Xie Xiang, Xu Wenhuan, Guo Shangyi and others stood in front, Min Yuanzhong's face turned pale, but his eyes were extremely firm. Although he was afraid, his wife took him home just now, Min Yuanzhong rarely scolded his wife in public, insisted on keeping it with a knife, and let his wife leave crying.

Gao Cuncheng and Yang Zhijin both took their team members and spontaneously formed a team. After ordinary flag soldiers and idle people left, all flag soldiers received their weapons when they were trained... The two-meter-long spear was carried on their shoulders. Even though the night was dark, the sharp and sharp double-edged spear head was still shining under the faint lights and moonlight. The sword and shield hands carried long cards and rattan cards, pressed their waist knives in their hands, and some spearmen held five-foot spears. Strictly speaking, this kind of gun was shorter and lighter than a human. It was about the same height as a human. It was about small and lighter, and it was more skillful when stabbing. The standards for personal martial arts were higher. In Min Yuanqi's view, this kind of gun was best changed to nine feet, which was shorter than a two-meter-long spear, and nearly half longer than a five-foot spear. It was more about array coordination, rather than small and rushing.

Several flag soldiers were dragged back by their families. Although they were reluctant and had obvious shame on their faces, since they were pulled back, it means that they most likely did not dare to take risks. Although they were ashamed of Min Baihu and the comrades who were training with each other every day, they at least took off from this big vortex. When those flag soldiers went out, they obviously breathed a sigh of relief...

Min Yuanqi looked at the crowd who stayed, and everyone's eyes were all looking at him. No one hesitated. He just smiled, his face was already extremely solemn: "Those who stayed know what to do, right?"

Xie Xiang was dissatisfied with being stolen by Shen Liang just now, and his face looked angry... The third hundred household was gone? He asked an outsider to take the lead and said loyalty and dared to die!

Now I took a step forward and said with my head raised: "In the current world, I dare not kill people and wait for someone to be killed. Instead of sitting and waiting for death, it is better to follow the 100-household adults to fight and fight, and I, Xie Xiang, would like to rush forward for the lords today. If I take a step back timidly during the fight, I will not be able to be a son!"

Gao Cuncheng said frankly: "I want to follow the adults to seek wealth."

Yang Zhijin said: "Today, I have a knife in my hand. I will kill whoever I want to kill."

Guo Shangyi continued: "Eat adults' food and serve for them. Even if there is anything wrong with it today, I think the adults won't ask us to have any worries."

This man was like a general. Min Yuanqi looked at Guo Shangyi with admiration and then said, "What Shangyi said is that if Yang Shida is fighting today, everyone will have money for salt from the salt pond after that, but they have no eyes. If anyone has any accidents tonight, they will be disabled, and the hundreds of households will raise him until they die, and they will be white-collar workers every month. We cannot leave it aside if they are disabled and ignore the soldiers when they are disabled. It is too fucking unethical and even humanity is gone. Those who do things for me will naturally be responsible for something. In addition, if they really lose their lives, they will be treated as small banner officials in the future, and they will be given until their wife dies and their children grow up and establish a household! "

Those present were truly relieved this time.

"Let's go." Min Yuanqi said what he should say the most, and his morale no longer needs to be motivated. Those who stayed were all willing to fight to the death. With no worries, this battle can be fought today.

Min Yuanzhong next to him said: "Yang Shida and his gang usually live in the Shuiguan River House. Every day when the black river is shining, there are no ships allowed to pass by. Qingpi rogues drive a small boat back and forth. Yang Shida and Guan Er and his gang drink and play money every day, making it smoky. People from all over the countryside know... If they all gather together, there are about a hundred people, but there are not many people every day. Those who go out to do business, go home or leave for anything. Normally, there are always seventy or eighty people living in the river house courtyard. Let's take an airship. These days, the wind is windy, and the wind is facing the opposite direction, and the boat is constantly accelerating. I guess I will arrive almost after midnight..."

These words were also Min Yuanqi's previous explanation. Min Yuanzhong said that this did not continue because Min Yuanqi did not continue to explain the details.

Min Yuanqi said in a deep voice: "Where is the river house, we only need to make sure that even if there are hundreds of people there, there will be advancement and no retreat, and we must save people."

In other words, this battle is mainly about saving people, while the rest are secondary.

Min Yuanqi's attitude also made the people present evaluate the officials of the households to a higher level... If Min Yuanqi focuses on killing people, the plan must be changed. If it focuses on saving people, then when you arrive in the Hefang area, you must first check and see where the people are kept. If you are not locked in the Hefang, you have to stop and try to find out where the people are locked up, so as not to alarm the snake, and destroy the lives of Min Yuanjin, Liang Shifa and others...

On the surface, these salt owls are proposing to inspect salt and inspect local private salt, but Yang Shida and his gang used this name to plunder and find out how much money and ointment were plundered. This is a trivial matter, bullying men and women, doing illegal things, and even robbing and killing people in secret. This group of people is rampant in the village. No matter what fast-paced team, which team leader dares to go to the countryside to fight Yang Juda? The history of each county, county magistrate, and local Lizheng, all the local Lizheng, and the gentry. As long as Yang Shida ignores them, why should they stand up as evil people? No matter how nonsense, Yang Shida dares to offend those real aristocratic families?

Such a cancer-like figure would never have any concerns when he really wanted to start. Behind Yang Shida are Yang Shili and Yang Shiyong and other brothers of the same clan. Yang Shili is a famous salt owl in Yancheng, and Yang Shiyong is a pirate. The Yancheng area is a thousand miles away. A county town has almost five or six large areas. In addition to some areas close to the county town, many places are paradises for pirates and salt owls. They gather there to become bandits and cook privately.

Salt sellers and looting the people, doing everything evilly, and also strengthening themselves. With such a strong background, there are almost few people who dare to provoke Yang Shida, which also makes this person ruthless. Most of them will not kill Wang Sanyi, a hundred households. At most, they will release people after being humiliated. It is very likely to kill a few flag soldiers without foundation. If they raid the river house first and fail to eradicate the roots, they will anger Yang Shida, Min Yuanjin, Liang Shifa and others will most likely lose their lives.

Everyone started to go out in a whole team. Han Sen stood under the eaves and rushed for a moment. Min Yuanqi arranged for the whole team to complete the team, each of them was carrying weapons. During this process, no one asked him the general flag, and Min Yuanqi did not ask Han Sen for advice... although Han Sen was here.

Han Sen didn't hesitate for long. When almost everyone was out, Han Sen followed with great strides.

Min Yuanzhong tilted his mouth and smiled, "The general flag is here too?"

Han Sen said with a cold face: "If I don't come, you may not be better than me when you are driving a boat."

Everyone laughed when they heard this. It was true. Min Yuanqi had not gone north in the past two years. The annual military transport mission was to start in February and return in October. The three thousand miles round trip were all water routes. In terms of repairing and maintaining ships and controlling the canal ships, no one present had more experience than Han Sen.

Min Yuanqi looked at Han Sen and said in a deep voice: "It will be difficult to get out of here in the future. Has Mr. Han thought it through?"

Han Sen said with a depressed look on his face: "Think clearly, only the top 100 households will follow you from now on!"

Min Yuanqi chuckled and patted Han Sen on the shoulder. The general flag had probably had the idea of ​​replacing it before, or to expose the hundreds of households of Min Yuanqi. Now, after more than ten days of hard work, Han Sen probably saw the gap between him and Min Yuanqi and was willing to be loyal to him at this time.

Min Yuanqi took a deep breath, feeling a little satisfied and proud in his heart, and at the same time he was still alert... The support and support of everyone in front of him still needed to motivate and even oppress. Only daily management, training, logistics support, military discipline and law constraints, and long-term subtle influence could he reach the point where his subordinates would die for themselves without caring about it.

In order to achieve long-term goals, you must persist in doing such things and must not be complacent or slack!

...

The sky at night was filled with a faint milky white. It was the end of February, and the moon was only half-string, but the moonlight was very bright, and the roads to the village were vaguely visible. People did not even prepare torches, so they walked out in line with the stars and moonlight.

The road can accommodate two rooster buses in parallel, with a concave middle and uneven high lying on both sides. It is a good idea to walk on a road, but no one will repair it carefully.

The roads are covered with weeds, and there are small courtyards in front of each house. They can dry millet and bedding in their homes. Most of them have no courtyard walls, and the houses are all thatched huts made of straw rammed earth. Even the roofs and walls are light yellow. Some houses are obviously crooked, which makes people worry about whether they will collapse suddenly... Even such a house is the root of the flag army. This simple thatched rammed earth house was also repaired by the ancestors' hard work... It is not worth selling five taels of silver. Once you enter Huai'an Mansion City, five small courtyards with two wing rooms, is worth 40 taels, let alone such rammed earth houses in the countryside?

When more than forty people passed by, the people in the room heard the movement clearly. Some men from the flag army came out and looked silently. The women quickly pulled the man back into the room, for fear that the man in charge would follow him with a hatchet or shovel in impulse.

The road to Baihu Village is less than a mile away. There are several tall mulberry trees at the west end of the village. After a month, mulberries will be full of mulberries. At that time, it was the land where adults and children like to play the most. At this time, the moonlight is pouring on the ground through sparse branches and leaves. The breeze blows by, the branches shake, and shines on the ground, but it looks like a monster with fangs and claws. If you pass by alone, you will be scared.

More than forty strong men are holding weapons in their hands. After more than ten days of training, people feel that they are more powerful, they are more proficient in their moves, and they are full of confidence in their skills and their companions around them.

Especially when people were peeking at Min Yuanqi, they saw Min Yuanqi's tall figure walking on the front side of the team. The young official also changed into a short martial robe. The sleeves of this martial robe were tightly tied and the hem was short, which was easy to make people shoot arrows and fight horses up and down. Their feet were also wrapped around like ordinary flag soldiers. This kind of thing called leggings in later generations can make their calves tight and they are not easy to get tired when walking far away... A Qi knife was hung beside Min Yuanqi, which was pressed by him with his wide palm and hung obediently on his right waist.
