"Don't count on the government and yamen. Everything depends on us now. Okay, let's put your affairs aside for now, Xiao Liangzi, and report the situation on your side." Zhu Changwu knew very well how many people were watching secretly. As for the drama, it would be good if they didn't come out to cause trouble, and if you point them to help, have a sweet dream.
"Sir, the situation here is the best. You don't know, we clean the streets and help the people chop wood and fetch water. We are very popular. Many people are moved to tears by what we do. They leave their homes in the house." Those who hid it and were reluctant to eat it brought out delicious food for us, and some people wanted to marry their daughters to us."
When talking about this, you can see the pride and pride on Liang Jun's face.
It's true that since ancient times, the dynasty's army has been to maintain the majesty and power of the dynasty. When did they really put the people in their eyes?
Now there is an army that respects the people so much, gets along with the people, and helps them do many things. It is strange that the people are not moved.
"Hey, Xiao Liangzi, are you talking about your wife now?" After hearing this, Hu Yunfeng, who had a very close relationship with him, immediately laughed and joked.
"That's not true, I'm not interested in it." Liang Jun was honest. While talking, he also looked at Lou Heyang who was sitting there wearing a formal military uniform.
Ji Jinkai was furious when he saw Liang Jun staring at his wife again.
Although he also knew that Liang Jun was not targeting his wife, but the female soldiers under her command, he felt unhappy when he saw this scene.
"Yes, the people are the most sensible. If you treat them well, they will treat us well. This is far more grateful than those ministers and dignitaries. Those people always think that His Majesty's kindness to them is what they should be. , and once their demands are not met, they will become selfish and do things that are not good for the dynasty, and such people should be killed."
After Zhu Changwu sighed for a while, he continued to say to Liang Jun: "Okay, you continue to work hard, continue to do such good things, and let all the people feel your enthusiasm."
"Don't worry, sir, the soldiers are doing these things with enthusiasm. Seeing the people's gratitude to them, they are willing to continue doing it. We will definitely do better in the future." Liang Jun said with assurance.
Zhu Changwu nodded, and finally turned his attention to the only woman, Lou Heyang, "How is the recruitment work going at your place?"
"good."
Lou Heyang's answer was very concise, but it also showed her confidence.
"It's over?" Zhu Changwu was also confused by this answer.
"It's done." Lou Heyang nodded as if it was a matter of course, and then thought of something and said, "By the way, if you can give me more dresses, our work will be completed better."
Zhu Changwu was very curious about Lou Heyang's answer, so he agreed, "Okay, as long as the work is done well, I can give you more uniforms. But I have to check the work first."
"No problem. Young Master is welcome to come over at any time. By the way, there will be surprises when you come." A bright smile appeared on Lou Heyang's face at this moment.
surprise?
Hearing this word, Zhu Changwu was very curious. He wanted to see what could be a surprise to him. But before he could continue to ask, a voice suddenly came from the walkie-talkie on his body, "Master Commander, something bad has happened. Someone has come to Yang's house to rob people. Come quickly."
After the sound rang out, there was no movement soon. Wu Linzheng, who was sitting there, looked like he had seen a ghost.
What did he hear?
This voice is somewhat familiar, but it is obvious that it is not the voice of any of the people here. Where does it come from?
However, several other people knew what the sound was, because they had walkie-talkies with them, but they were of the headset type.
Among them, Zhu Changwu knew what happened best.
The voice was made by Sun Chuang, and he brought up the Yang Mansion, so what happened?
"General Wu continues to defend the city, Lao Zhang continues to recruit troops, others come with me to the Yang Mansion." He dared to snatch people from the hands of Jin Yiwei. The strength of the person who came must be not weak. For the sake of safety, and to not run away When the fish was caught, Zhu Changwu made a decisive decision and gave the order.
Zhu Changwu moved very quickly, and the others did not move too slowly. They all mounted on the horses at the foot of the city tower. Regardless of whether the horses could gallop down the street, they rushed straight towards the Yang Mansion.
Only half an hour later, Zhu Changwu was the first to arrive outside the Yang Mansion. What he saw was a scene of several Jinyi guards lying dead on the ground.
This made him feel a thump in his heart, and he quickly dismounted his horse and rushed straight to the mansion, where the ground was filled with corpses.
Zhu Changwu, who felt bad, shouted loudly: "Is Li Ruolian here?"
"Sun Chuang, where are you?"
Although these people had not been with him for long, especially Li Ruolian, who had just met him once, Zhu Changwu would still be heartbroken if there were any casualties among them.
Fortunately, when he shouted this, there was a reply soon, "Master Commander, we are all here, all here."
After saying that, Li Ruolian took the lead, followed by Sun Chuang and others, and walked out of the Yang Mansion's warehouse.
Seeing that there were so many living people, Zhu Changwu breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked with a straight face: "Tell me, what is going on here?"
"My lord, I am guilty of humble duty. Yang Guanguang was rescued by them." Li Ruolian stepped forward, looking like he was apologizing.
"Don't talk about this yet, what is going on?"
Seeing Zhu Changwu's unkind expression, Li Ruolian quickly recounted what had just happened.
Hearing that Wu Mengming, the previous commander, had appeared in person, he led Luo Yangxing and seven hundred Jinyi guards to raid the place. In order to preserve his strength and protect the 1.7 million taels of silver in the Yang Mansion, Li Ruolian took the initiative and took the initiative to let Yang Guanguang go and retreat here.
Luo Yangxing led his men to attack for a while, but after being unable to attack for a long time, Wu Mengming ordered Yang Guanguang to be taken away, and they evacuated here.
"You are guilty of a low-level position, and you should fight them to the death. But considering that, I am afraid that the money will be taken away by those people, so..."
Li Ruolian wanted to explain something, but Zhu Changwu interrupted him directly, "You did a good job, but you are inferior to others. The first thing you have to consider is to preserve your own strength. As the saying goes, people and land are both saved."
Zhu Changwu was very happy and fortunate to have found Li Ruolian in advance. Otherwise, if Sun Chuang, the straight-tempered man, stayed here, he would definitely fight to the death, and in the end no one would be alive here.
Yang Guanguang was robbed, but the 1.72 million silver was kept. Li Ruolian, Sun Chuang and others also survived. The Jin Yiwei only killed more than 20 people and injured about 30 people. This result still satisfied Zhu Changwu.
In fact, he didn't care about Yang Guanguang at all. In his opinion, it was no longer enough for such a villain to become an outcast once his identity was exposed.
But since he dared to attack his people, naturally the matter could not be left alone. When Ji Jinkai and others behind him arrived with the patrol, he issued an order: "Didn't Lao Zhang recruit 10,000 new soldiers? Break them up and divide them into two groups to replenish them. You and Xiao Fengzi's team will strengthen the security patrols in the city, and at the same time post notices throughout the city, everyone is welcome to report lawbreakers, and upon verification, certain rewards can be given."
Zhu Changwu knew very well that the power of the people is the most powerful. Just look at the Chaoyang masses in later generations. And if something can involve the participation of all the people, it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort and achieve unexpected results. "
"Yes." Ji Jinkai and Hu Yunfeng looked happy.
The two men now have 3,000 Ming troops in their hands. If 10,000 new soldiers are divided between them, each of them will be 5,000, and the number of troops they control will reach 8,000. This is not far from them becoming captains of ten thousand men.
With more soldiers, you can do more things. With the addition of 10,000 soldiers, there will be more guarantees for guarding the security of the entire city of Beijing.
"In the future, you must strengthen the security around Yang Mansion. I will be of great use here. Don't give bad guys a chance." Looking around Yang Mansion, I found that not only does it occupy a large area, but it also has a good location. He had long wanted to build a research institute, so he decided to choose the address here.
As for the funds that the institute needs to start up, the 1.7 million taels that were just seized are completely enough, and there will be too much wealth.
Thinking that he had some money, Zhu Changwu turned his eyes and fell on Li Ruolian and Sun Chuang. He said: "The Jin Yiwei who died in the battle will each be given three years' salary as a pension, and the injured will be rewarded fifty taels each." , everyone else will receive a reward of thirty taels each.”
"Salary?" Li Ruolian was stunned for a moment. He understood other rewards, but what did this salary mean?
"Salary is the salary for your work. To put it bluntly, it is your salary and subsidies." Zhu Changwu sighed. He was still a little uncomfortable with this era, especially the application of some nouns. If he can change it in the future, he would change it to something he is familiar with. Say it again.
"Understood, my subordinate brother thanked the commander." After finally understanding what Zhu Changwu meant, Li Ruolian was shocked. In this way, if a Xiaoqi dies, his annual salary is forty taels, and if it is repaid in three years, wouldn't it be one hundred and twenty taels?
This is just a small banner. If it were a general banner or even a trial of 100 households, it would be even more. Even an ordinary Jin Yiwei can immediately receive a pension of sixty taels once he is killed in battle. This was a life-saving money for an ordinary family at that time.
