Chapter 21: Convincing People with Virtue
Compared with the size of more than a dozen battalions of Dengzhou Camp, Jimo is much smaller, with only one coastal defense battalion and more than a thousand people on the books. Yang Bo is used to seeing Shangguan who is empty-handed. It would be great if this Jimo Camp can bring about a hundred young and strong people who can fight.
When they entered Jimo City, everyone found something wrong. In this small county town, there were wandering soldiers everywhere. They were either in groups of three or five, laughing and joking. Several shops saw these soldiers from afar, flying to the door panels and closing the door.
When Yang Bo's group of soldiers with strict military discipline entered the city, the people in the county were shocked and asked about this.
Seeing Yang Bo's face full of displeasure, Huang Daolin also said hatefully, "These battalions were recruited. As long as they were the duty families who could survive, how could they let their children and grandchildren join the army to eat food? Many of these battalions who are lazy and cheated are now like bandits, and under the indulgence of Shangguan."
As if to prove his words, a man suddenly turned out of a small lane and ran into the walking army camp.
The team walking on the left was a recruit company. These people were not loyal to Yang Bo for a short time. As a result, several recruits were hit by the man and their formation almost became messy.
By the time a platoon leader called the battalion, the battalion was less than ten steps away from Yang Bo when he was caught. Several of Yang Bo's personal guards had even drawn out their knives and were about to kill the uninvited guest who had hit the adults on the spot.
The new recruit company commander Zhao Long saw Yang Bo's cold eyes and felt that his face was dull. He grabbed the battalion soldier and punched him in the face, which made the man spit blood out of his mouth. The few battalions hanging far behind the team saw that the situation was not good, and they dispersed like flying...
A tutor hurriedly ran to Yang Bo and said with shame: "Sir, I am sorry for my crimes, it's all my daily disciplinary measures."
Yang Bo ignored him and waved to Zhao Long, "Come here."
Zhao Long hurried over and saw where the instructor was cold, and he didn't dare to speak.
"Go and ask what's going on"
Seeing the instructor still stunned, Yang Bo waved his hand: "You don't need to be a instructor anymore, go to the Military Discipline Department to report it yourself."
Yang Bo has always been generous in the Sin Military Camp, and the strict discipline of the Salt Protection Team cannot be affected by them, but what happened today can only show that this instructor is incompetent.
Zhao Long was still asking about the camp soldiers. In the alley, several people walked out with a small footed old woman. They looked angry. Seeing the big scene outside, they didn't know who to look for.
"It's this rogue!"
The old woman covered her bloody ears with one hand, pointed at the camp soldier and cursed, "This dog thief who was killed in heaven did not count, but he also pulled off half of the old woman's ear!"
In fact, when the old woman appeared, Yang Bo had already understood what had happened. Zhao Long opened the hand of the camp soldier and indeed held a small, blood-scattered half golden earring.
"Getting ten taels of silver to this mother-in-law is considered as a medicine fee." Yang Bo has seen similar scenes in his later generations, and he is far less angry than everyone else.
"Mr.
Those who were holding the old woman knelt down and couldn't kowtow to Yang Bo.
The old woman was still angry, but she saw that Yang Bo gave him a lot of money and a team of officials accompanied him, so she didn't dare to speak much.
"Sir? How should this person be dealt with?" asked the new recruit Lianjun Discipline Officer softly.
"Tie it up first, take it away, and settle the accounts later." Yang Bo was too lazy to pay attention to the deliberate attacks of several criminal military camps, and beat the battalion soldiers to scream.
"Where is the coastal defense camp station?" Yang Bo asked Huang Daolin
"The coastal defense camp is located in Yingshang Village, Bali, north of the city. Only the city guard camp is responsible for inspecting public security. The coastal defense camp must be summoned and must not enter without permission."
Huang Daolin said in a little disappointed manner: "But that's what happened in the past."
Seeing that he arrived at the destination, Huang Daolin said goodbye to Yang Bo and went to the government office to report.
Zhou Guangbi was in the garrison mansion in the south of the city. The former chief of the camp was called the garrison, so the garrison mansion was used all the time. However, when Yang Bo came to the garrison mansion, he was shocked. The door of the mansion was wide open, and there were many camp soldiers inside and outside. Some of them sat on the ground, and some of them gathered together to play horses. Yang Bo even saw a few smoking guys.
During the Jiajing period, there was tobacco brought back from the south. During the Wanli period, Yao Lu's "Book of Dew" written by Yao Lu recorded in detail the origin of tobacco. "A grass was produced in Luzon, called Danbafeng. Burn one end with fire and one end to the mouth. The smoke from the tube can enter the throat, which can make people intoxicated and can ward off miasma. Some people planted it in Zhangzhou, but now it is more than Luzon, and it is sold in its country."
Yang Bo doesn't smoke and has no interest in growing tobacco. Otherwise, Maojiatun will have another way to make money.
These people were noisy, but they were all blocked at the gate of the garrison palace.
Seeing a large number of soldiers pouring in, the soldiers in the camp were a little panicked and subconsciously made way for the road, but they were not very scared. They gathered aside and pointed. A leader wanted to come over to talk to Yang Bo, but was separated from the outside by the Sui Military Camp.
"Which soldiers are you from all over the way? We are here to ask for money, and we have no rudeness to the general. So that the master can learn that the camp has not paid any money for several months. We all have to support our family and have to surround the garrison palace..."
Seeing that the man couldn't squeeze in, he saw the soldiers in the Sin Army Camp pushing a brother dressed in the camp coming over. He felt even more and more unfair, and he didn't dare to move, so he could only scream from afar.
Yang Bo ignored this man and whispered to Han Yaoer: "Let Zhao Long lead a company to guard all the doors of the government offices, and Lao Pao led people to arrest all the battalions. Tell him, if one of them ran away, let him come to see me with his head."
Seeing Han Yaoer's face change, Yang Bo added: "If you resist, kill me, don't worry."
Speaking, Yang Bo sorted out his official uniforms, and then Shi Shiran raised his hand to slap the inner door...
When Yang Bo walked into the inner yamen, there were already shouts of killing outside. Several servants who were hiding in the inner yamen were very happy to see Yang Bo and a few personal guards arrived. They came here with Zhou Guangbi for a long time.
"Sir, finally arrived!"
Run up alone and greeted Yang Bo intimately
Yang Bo quickly helped him up. This man had seized the ship side by side with him in Maojiatun, and had also defeated the incense sect with the Sui Military Camp. Zhou Guangbi's subordinates named Xiaoliu.
"Xiao Liu, how did you protect the adults? Even the garrison palace is surrounded by people. What about the old mansion? Have you ever been frightened?" Yang Bo has never had any airs towards these people, and these people are not afraid of him.
Xiao Liu pointed inside with some embarrassment, indicating that Yang Bo was all Zhou Guangbi's orders, and he was not good to say bad things behind the adults.
Yang Bo laughed, patted Xiaoliu on the shoulder, and saw Zhou Guangbi on his own.
"Is Zhiyi here?" A slightly majestic voice sounded. If it weren't Zhou Guangbi, who would it be?
Yang Bo smiled and lifted the curtain and walked in. Zhou Guangbi sat on a magistrate chair, reading a book, and there was a cup of steaming tea next to it.
"Sir, Yang Bo is here late, I hope he will forgive me." Yang Bo greeted Zhou Guangbi according to the official rules.
"Forgive"
Zhou Guangbi looked up at Yang Bo, and there was no joy or anger on his face. "If you don't come again, I will give these people a life."
"The elder is calm and calm. He is still reading and drinking tea while the enemy is watching. The elder is in a state of mind, tsk, I can't do it." Yang Bo flattered the old boss against his will.
"Barring! I'm not drinking tea and reading here, are you going out to chat and fuck them?" Zhou Guangbi smiled and waved to Yang Bo and waved to him.
Yang Bo knew that he was going to talk about the important things, so he found a seat in the lower position.
"Since I took office, these soldiers have come here every day, and they have become more and more rampant in the past few days. Even if the servants buy it on a daily basis, they will not be able to leave the door. If they come a few days later, they will starve to death in the garrison house." Zhou Guangbi felt aggrieved when he said it.
"It has not been a day since the imperial court has shortened military pay. Why did the old man take office and these people come to block the door and lose their families?" Yang Bo asked.
"It's all about being idle, right?"
Zhou Guangbi sighed: "The general position of Jimo Camp has always been a member of the Aoshan Guard Command Post. It is either a commander or a commander. It has never fallen into the hands of others. Although Jimo Camp has no big deal, it has a vacant salary every year, set up a card to collect rent, and at least a thousand taels of silver are put into bags. Now suddenly Andongwei transferred me to snatch the general position of this general position. How can those people not be jealous?"
Yang Bo asked: "How much is the monthly salary of this battalion?"
Zhou Guangbi glanced at Yang Bo: "After all, you are the chief officer of the camp, and you don't even know how much money you pay? Wouldn't it be a joke if you tell it? The horse army's monthly salary is one tael of silver, one tael of rice, and five dou of rice in the infantry..."
"How long has Jimo Camp owed the salary?" Yang Bo asked again
"Originally, I gave nine months a year, but I heard that these soldiers had owe more than half a year. I didn't want to pay attention to the bad things in the past, but I didn't expect to be eyeing me." Zhou Guangbi was a little angry. These were all the deficits left by his ex. What should he make up for? He still has three concubines to raise.
Yang Bo smiled and said, "Sir, you have Lord Yan on your back and you have a little one to support you. What's wrong with him?"
Zhou Guangbi gave Yang Bo a blank look: "I'm afraid I don't know yet?" Jimo has five surnames, Lu, Li, Zhou, Yang, and Huang, and Lu Zhiliang, the hereditary commander of Aoshanwei. I heard that there was a family who was preparing for the Japanese capital. No one dared to compete with him for this position on weekdays. Alas, I just came, and the strong dragon would not suppress the local snake..."
Yang Bo sneered: "Then I will occupy Beiwu City for Kong Youde. I don't know whether Lord Lu's family is alive or alive. Whose adults still have the heart to take care of this place? Let me deal with it here."
Zhou Guangbi was a little worried: "What should Zhixian do about it?"
"Don't you understand Zhiyi yet?"
Yang Bo laughed out loud: "I have always liked to win people with virtue."
Before Zhou Guangbi could answer, a scream suddenly sounded outside the door.
Then, the inner door was knocked so loudly, as if someone was panicking and trying to run in to hide. Then, another scream...
