"Does father still remember the riot four years ago?"
Chang Gaoyuan was startled when he heard this, and his thoughts couldn't help but recall that night four years ago.
The military camp is full of young and strong men, and it is the most virile place.
But as the saying goes, yang cannot grow alone and yin cannot grow alone. The only way to achieve longevity is to harmonize yin and yang.
In addition, lieutenants in the army have been charging into battle all year round, licking blood at the tip of their swords, and the murderous intent in their hearts has slowly accumulated. If they are not given a timely outlet, it is very likely to cause serious trouble.
Therefore, since ancient times, there have been business establishments such as gambling houses, wine shops, and prostitutes around military camps.
When there is no war, soldiers in the army will call their friends and go to these places to vent their anger every time they are paid.
The generals also turned a blind eye to this move and did not delve into it. After all, people are not grass and trees, so how can they be ruthless? They are all in their prime and strong, and no one has some needs. Even the generals will go to these places without hesitation, which can be regarded as having fun with the soldiers.
Qingzhou is bitterly cold, has a vast territory, is sparsely populated, and lacks products.
The military pay was received, but there was nowhere to spend it. Moreover, there may be a war at any time, and there is no tomorrow, so the soldiers have no idea of saving money. They all start thinking about how to spend the money as soon as they get it.
Among the three pillar industries of Qingzhou's gambling houses, wine shops, and prostitutes, prostitution is the most profitable. .z.
Men are not necessarily fond of gambling, nor are they all addicted to alcohol, but they absolutely cannot refuse the temptation of lust. Whether it is waterway or landway, the dedicated Qingzhou prostitutes will try their best to satisfy you.
Therefore, both the boss of the brothel and the prostitutes who create actual value make a lot of money.
But although the profits are good, most of the delicate and beautiful ladies are still unwilling to do business here.
Compared with other bustling cities, life here is not a bit miserable.
Secondly, the main source of customers here are soldiers. The physical strength of soldiers is not comparable to that of civilians who have never been on the battlefield and scholars. Usually I can easily pick up ten customers in a day, but here I can pick up up to five, and I have to be tortured to death. It may be difficult to get off the ground the next day.
Therefore, there are very few prostitutes who are willing to do business here, and most of them are those who cannot survive in their original places, are old and have bad looks, or are ugly in appearance.
After three years in the army, a sow competed with a fairy.
Fortunately, the soldiers in Qingzhou are not picky about food. As long as they are women, it doesn't matter whether they are beautiful or ugly and turn out the lights.
But even so, the number of prostitutes is still in short supply, far from meeting the needs of the Qingzhou market.
As a result, the fight for mating rights and the use of force, a behavior that originated from the wilderness and is deeply rooted in the bones, continued to occur.
In addition, there are fights caused by many reasons such as being anxious or drunk.
However, the generals of the Qingzhou Battalion didn't pay much attention to it at first. It was normal for men to fight, but it reflected the bravery of the Qingzhou soldiers.
Obviously, the generals in Qingzhou Camp suffered from a lack of education and did not understand the principle of guarding against subtle changes.
At first, there would only be one or two fights every three to five days, and then slowly began to increase to three, four, five or six, and gradually became normalized and large-scale.
The fights started with three or five people versus three or five people, and gradually turned into a dozen versus a dozen people. One day, two flag officers fought over a new and beautiful prostitute, and even ended up with a knife.
One of the commander-in-chief was slashed in the face and his face was completely disfigured, and the incident began to get out of control.
This soldier under the general banner heard that his boss had suffered a loss, so how could he do anything? They immediately mobilized to regain the situation.
After hearing this, the other commander-in-chief naturally would not sit still and wait for death, and summoned his men to deal with the counterattack.
A hundred or so people faced each other in the street and started fighting. At first, they were relatively restrained, just punching and kicking without using weapons, but gradually they became more angry. When someone discovered that a fellow comrade had been beaten to death. , reason retreated, and anger occupied the high ground.
Copy guy, fuck him!
After hearing this, Baihu, the boss of both sides, led his troops and tried to stop them. However, when they saw that their brothers who had been with them through life and death were beaten so much that they were covered in blood and no longer human, they lost control of their emotions instantly and joined the battle group. middle.
Hundreds of people with good relationships came to break up the fight and then joined the fighting group in a daze. The fight of a hundred people turned into a killing of hundreds of people.
Violent emotions spread like wildfire.
When Chang Gaoyuan, Zhang Hua, Li Wentai and other senior generals learned of the incident and rushed to the scene, the scale of the fighting had expanded to thousands of people. Although there were many soldiers who did not join the fighting, they took the opportunity to smash up nearby shops, rape prostitutes, and set fire to houses...
Seeing that the gaffe was completely out of control, Chang Gaoyuan ordered the most elite soldiers around him to attack with shields and crossbows. Anyone who disobeyed the order - kill!
But even so, the commotion continued throughout the night before gradually subsided.
In the early morning of the next day, the cold wind blowing from the colder north finally brought everyone back to their senses.
Chang Gaoyuan almost died when he saw the casualty list calculated by Li Wentai.
Eighty-seven people were killed, 108 were disabled, 361 were seriously injured, and minor injuries were not counted.
In addition, gambling houses, wine shops, prostitutes and other shops built around the camp were all smashed, looted, and some were set on fire. More than a dozen prostitutes were killed by women.
The owners of those shops and other victims were blocking the entrance of the camp, demanding explanations.
Chang Gaoyuan, who finally regained his breath, was furious and ordered the use of swords to drive away the people who were blocking the camp. He also ordered that from now on, there should be no gambling houses, wine shops, or prostitutes within a radius of 500 miles of the military camp. If it exists, once it is discovered, it will cause harm to the military.
Even though four full years have passed since the riot, the thought of it still makes Chang Gaoyuan, who has been on the battlefield for a long time and is calm in every situation, feel heartbroken.
He took off the lid of the wine pot and poured the wine directly into his mouth. After taking a few gulps, Chang Gaoyuan felt a little better. He raised his sleeves and wiped the remaining wine from the corners of his mouth and asked. .
"Is it related to this matter?"
Chang Huaien nodded, moved his knees a step away, and kowtowed three times to Chang Gaoyuan.
"Qiu'er, you..."
"My child has something that I have been hiding from my father for four years. My child is unfilial and I ask my father to punish me."
Chang Huaien raised his head, his forehead had turned blue and there were looming blood stains, which showed how heavy the three bangs on his head were.
The more Chang Huaien acted like this, the stronger the bad feeling in Chang Gaoyuan's heart became. After staring at his son for a long time, he took a deep breath and said.
"speak!"
"My father mentioned the riot in a later family letter. Although there were only a few lines, the child still felt the danger of that night from the lines. Although he was also frightened, because the bystanders were clear, he was also This was inspired.
Nature is like a scourge, it can be prevented or dispersed, but it cannot be stopped. My father ordered all those businessmen to be driven away, which seemed to avoid the possibility of similar incidents happening in the future, but in fact it was treating the symptoms rather than the root cause.
The officers and soldiers of the frontier army have learned their taste and dare not make any changes in the short term due to the majesty of military law. However, if they cannot vent their anger in the long run, it will definitely lead to disaster, affect morale and reduce combat effectiveness.
Not long after that riot, my uncle returned to Beijing to visit relatives, and the boy discussed a solution with his uncle. It can not only avoid the recurrence of riots, but also ensure that the desires of the soldiers can be vented and maintain morale and combat effectiveness. "
At this point, Chang Huaien paused and looked up at his father's face.
"Camp...whore!"
Chang Gaoyuan's face was ashen, and his voice was squeezed out through his teeth.
With the strength of Wei Lin's arms, the entire straw mat on the ground was lifted up.
It turned out that the straw mat was actually stuck to a wooden board. No wonder Wei Lin couldn't lift it up with her feet before.
The straw mat and the wooden board were lifted together, revealing the entrance of the hole hidden underneath.
The entrance of the cave is square, about three feet long and wide, and four
The walls are very neatly trimmed. There are also steps carved out and extending downward on one side of the cave entrance.
Wei Lin turned to look at Zhang Hua and Li Wentai, with a sneer on her lips.
Zhang Hua felt strange. He leaned next to Wei Lin and took a look into the cave. It was pitch dark and he couldn't see anything, but he could faintly hear sounds inside.
The sound was vague and I couldn't tell what it was coming from, so I turned to look at Li Wentai.
"Lao Li, what is going on?"
Li Wentai lowered his head, his expression alternated between gloomy and clear. The knuckles of the palm holding the handle of the knife turned white due to excessive force, and the veins on the back of his hand bulged.
"Alas~"
After a long time, Li Wentai let out a long sigh and released the handle of the knife.
Then he pushed the golden mountain, toppled the jade pillar, knelt down facing Wei Lin and Zhang Hua, kowtowed and bowed his head.
"Wen Tai is guilty, please ask the special envoy and deputy commander to deal with it."
"Old Li, what do you mean by this? Could you please explain clearly what is going on in this cave?"
Zhang Hua has also realized that things may be worse and more serious than he expected. He stepped forward and rushed to Li Wentai, grabbed him by the collar and asked.
"Lord Zhang, let go of Commander Li and listen to what he has to say."
Wei Lin put down the straw mat board, clapped her hands and said calmly.
The cave won't escape here, so don't rush in to investigate. Let's see how Li Wentai explains it first.
"Xiaguan...Xiaguan...I also have good intentions..."
In the stuffy, damp and dark cell of Ji Xian Si.
Yunxiang, who had gained some strength after eating a piece of sesame cake, wiped her hands on her dress, then smiled at Rong Fei.
"Why does Mr. Rong think I will tell you?"
"Based on the clues we have so far, it can be basically confirmed that Zhuangzi is inseparable from the border troops at Xuanhuang Pass. The commander-in-chief of Xuanhuang Pass is Chang Gaoyuan, the God of War of Dayan, a leading figure in the military. Although he is not very talented, he can be considered in the Kyoto literary world. Some statuses, as well as the status of royal relatives and Ji Xiansi, can be regarded as a person.
I am a writer, Chang Gaoyuan is a martial artist. Discord between civil and military officials will inevitably lead to turmoil in the court and accelerate the loss of Dayan's luck. Isn't this the situation that you, the film master, hope to see and have been working hard to promote.
I'm even thinking that Zheng Ziqiu and you had the chance to escape, but they stayed in Kyoto waiting to be caught by me. Is this intentional by the film owner, who just wanted to tell me about this through your mouth? thing. "
