There are four guards in Ningxia Town.
Pei Ji, the commander of the Ningxia Guard, was thirty-five years old and a native of the Yan'an Guard in Shaanxi Province. He was promoted to the rank of Yan'an Guard Thousand Households through his merits and deeds, and later became the Ningxia Guard Thousand Households. He was promoted to the Commander of the Guards at this time.
Zhou Rui, the commander of the Ningxia avant-garde, is thirty-eight years old and was formerly a member of the Qianhu Guards.
Xiang Sixiao, the commander of Jinglu Guards, was forty-three years old and was born in a military household in Pinglu Station.
Ningxia rear guard commander Ma Bin, twenty-nine years old, is the youngest of the four commanders. Of course, he is also a military officer. He was originally a Baihu of Zuotunwei, but Zuotunwei is no longer here.
Even though he is the youngest, Ma Bin seems to be the most rewarded.
There should be 5,600 people in a guard station. Counting some vacancies, this guy didn't know how many people he killed. Probably a cannibal.
Because of these two points, it is difficult for the other three to have any desire to interact with him.
Ma Bin didn't seem to be good at getting along with his colleagues. He always had a cold face and just nodded at Qiu Yue, who came out last, and then left.
The Ningxia defenders were responsible for garrisoning the area around Lingzhou City, a place with thick yellow sand and thick soil. Only a few green spaces between the valleys could inhabit people. Ma Bin led his troops here to forage for food.
Outside the General Military Mansion,
Ma Bin met with about a dozen of his guards. Each of these guards wore straw sandals and had a black short knife tied around their waists. They were simply dressed, but they looked as ferocious as mountain bandits.
Even Ma Bin himself wore a pair of tattered cloth shoes with several holes in them.
These dozen men followed him like this, disappearing at the end of the horizon with a twist of their butts.
Wait until he returns to Lingzhou and the courtyard where he lives.
Adults and children, more than twenty people rushed up to surround him.
Ma Bin grabbed a handful of beans to feed the horse. Seeing that there were too many people, he said calmly: "Either chop wood or carry water, there is nothing to do?"
As soon as he opened his mouth, no one in the courtyard dared to make any mistake, even the four women were busy doing nothing.
There are only three children, one is slightly older, a boy, and two are slightly younger, a boy and a girl.
"Brother, how about this trip to Zhencheng? Is there any good news?" The older child is his younger brother, named Ma Xian, who is already fourteen years old.
"What are you worrying about?" Ma Bin had the same expressionless expression on his brother.
"Because my eldest brother killed many people."
"Those are bad people. Just tell everyone that everything is fine. From now on, we will farm according to the originally allocated acres."
"really?"
In fact, this courtyard was not their residence, but belonged to a thousand families. But after he died, Ma Bin took over it, and about seven or eight families lived there.
They were all taken in by Ma Bin.
There are military households among them. According to the 50 acres of land per person, this courtyard should be able to cultivate 600 acres of land.
However, even with the imperial edict, it was difficult for these poor people to get the land from the powerful, so Ma Bin arrested and killed them all.
The killing was joyful at the time, but I was still very scared afterwards.
Then this time Ma Bin came back from the town, and everyone was so concerned.
When he really announced that everything was fine, the men, women, and children who had gone to fetch the horses and make the fire and make food all ran out again. People knelt down around Ma Bin, "Quick, quick, thank you for saving me."
Ma Bin had a younger sister who was standing on his right side with her head raised in admiration. However, her head was soon rubbed into strange shapes by her brother.
"Fifty acres of land for each person. This is the decree of the imperial court. This is true. The high-ranking officials above have said so. As for the Xie family occupying more military land, we will get it back tomorrow. Mr. Ma, get all the brothers call."
"Okay! I'll listen to big brother."
Ma Bin had already boasted about Haikou. To be more precise, he had obtained permission from his boss.
Life is hard in the northwest frontier. Ma Bin's parents have died of illness, leaving him and his three younger siblings to fend for themselves. Fortunately, he had a strong force and the original inheritance was from a hundred households, so he finally did not starve to death.
But in fact, his life was not that good, because his sister was frail and sick, so she had to take medicine every three days, and she also had to take expensive tonics because of her physical weakness. In the past few years, he had almost eaten up all the money he had earned.
His sister couldn't wait to pay for medicine. At the same time, he could see how extravagant those really wealthy families were. That was all. These powerful people never looked at ordinary people, bullied, Insults, beatings and even persecutions, he has seen them all.
His special life experience and family environment make him cruel-hearted and somewhat compassionate at the same time, which is really contradictory.
Probably due to good luck, during the Ningxia rebellion, the Qianhu, commanders and several hundred households above him died in battle and escaped, leaving him to temporarily control the Ningxia rearguard. As a result, he killed the most ruthlessly, but instead stayed. The next one has the best reputation for executing the imperial court's Qingtun order.
Just like this time at the General Military Mansion, he also performed best.
At present, the imperial court is vigorously promoting the clean-up of military settlements, and everyone at the top and bottom needs such a model.
A person can't be unlucky all the time. It's time for him to get lucky once.
The next day.
The "straw shoe troops" of the Ningxia defenders all gathered in the courtyard, a total of three hundred people. These were the old people from the original Ma Bin Hundred Households, as well as the people who followed him closely during this period of "change" and were trusted by him.
The old men and women in the courtyard were also there, and some of their children were among the three hundred people.
The team that my family members were in was always closer to each other, so they were willing to come and distribute food, which was a somewhat hard piece of bread.
This is what Ma Bin is chewing on.
"Brothers, the fields have just been divided. We have to wait until food is grown next year before we can live a good life. Let's rely on this for now."
“Boss, we don’t mind the bread, but can we have some pickles?!”
Because Ma Bin always wanted to save money for his sister's medical treatment, he had always lived a simple life. He used to eat whatever the brothers in the Hundred Households School ate. It can be regarded as a passive realization that officers and soldiers can eat together.
Later, Ma Bin discovered that it seemed that people in the institute were more likely to treat him as a brother, which awakened him.
In this kind of world, if we have more brothers, then we will have a way to survive.
So some old people dared to make some jokes with him.
Ma Bin was unmoved. He drank the water in front of him and stuffed the remaining noodles into his mouth. "I didn't wash my feet last night. They must be smelly and salty now. Why don't you lick them?" How about an appetizer?"
"Hahaha!"
The crowd burst into laughter.
"The boss is the commander, but he can't be as particular as he was when he was a hundred households."
Uh-huh.
Ma Bin pulled out the beautiful knife in his hand, "I don't care about that. What I care about is this. Brothers, do you still remember the oath we made together?"
"Hold the knife! Lean on brother!"
"Set off!"
A roar full of blood.
After that, three hundred people got on their horses, but they were not bandits. After all, Ma Bin was a member of a hundred households. He was an official of the imperial court. He followed the imperial decree and acted royally.
The Xie family refused to hand over the land. Today, he will take back the 60 hectares of occupied land on behalf of the court.
This is an old local landowner whose sons and nephews are also officials in other provinces, so he has such confidence.
But what he met was a person like Ma Bin who kept his head in his belt.
Three hundred soldiers shared the same hatred and directly used force to surround the Xie Mansion.
The servant standing guard at the door made rude remarks, so Ma Bin only said two words, "Kill him."
Ma Xian, a young man, took the lead. Although he was only fourteen years old, life at home was difficult. As a male, he had already begun to share some of the pressure. It was not dangerous for him to kill a few unarmed people.
"I come!"
One man and one horse rushed forward, stabbing the servant in the back who was about to run away when he saw something was wrong.
"Killing! Killing!"
The Xie Mansion was immediately in chaos.
"Boss?"
Ma Bin understood, "Come in and leave no one behind."
boom!
Half of the red door was knocked off.
When the head of the Xie family heard that the officers and soldiers were coming to kill him, he suffered a cerebral hemorrhage. He immediately asked his servants to form a formation to guard the backyard, and he himself hid inside and shouted loudly: "Commander Ma! You are in broad daylight." , want to kill me and the entire Xie family, have you thought about the consequences once the court investigates?"
Patriarch Xie said he was waiting, but there was no reply at all.
Ma Bin is not good at words.
He was answered by a banging on the door.
boom!
boom!
"Hold on! Don't let that lunatic come in!"
These servants should have been trained on a daily basis, but they lacked weapons. The crime of concealing weapons was no joke, so most of them used sticks and the like.
Ma Bin didn't care about that. He ordered someone to find a ladder and ordered: "Thirty of you, in groups of three, climb in!"
There is no suspense about this kind of attack and defense. It is just a house, not a city wall dozens of meters high.
After falling down, some people were beaten, but more and more officers and soldiers holding steel knives appeared in front of them, which was still very intimidating. After paying the price of several casualties, the backyard was successfully captured.
Da da.
Ma Bin rode a strong horse across the threshold, his cold face still expressionless.
There were many female relatives in the backyard, and he didn't feel like shouting to stop. But behind him, more officers and soldiers rushed in. They cut down everyone they saw, and for a while there were screams and women's screams. Everlasting.
"Ma Bin!!" Mr. Xie's eyes were filled with blood, "How dare you be so cruel? Some of my Xie clan members are also in the government!"
Ma Bin didn't even get off his horse. He responded calmly: "I have reported the details to the general military office in the town, and promised the court to clean up the farmland. Xie Laoer, you are disobeying the imperial edict by occupying the land and not handing it over. Gathering private men to fight against the imperial army is an act of rebellion. The Xie clan members you mentioned in the government, I will also join in the rebellion."
"Despicable and shameless, you actually want to frame our Xie family?"
Ma Bin was puzzled and tilted his head, "Isn't it your fault to refuse to clean up the farmland and organize the servants to fight against each other? How did I frame you? And you made a mistake. After you die, the court will You won’t come to hold me accountable. If you really want to, I will come to hold you accountable under the orders of the imperial court.”
"What did you say?"
"I said it is an imperial decree to clean up the military camps. Do you know that? You idiot. Kill them all!"
This matter was completed in only half a day.
After finishing it, Ma Bin didn't stop. He really publicized Xie's accusation of rebellion, and no one could refute it, because resisting the decree was treason. These are two sides of the same coin.
Through this action, Ma Bin deterred other people who refused to accept Tian. In the messy world, in the end, this bloody knife worked.
Ma Bin has never read a book, but he has decided to change this place with this knife.
