lady, please calm down

Chapter 191 The advantage is in me!

The 24th of the twelfth lunar month.

Chen Jingyan walked into the mansion office with a gloomy expression.

Yesterday, the younger brother and his wife returned to Caizhou late at night with Mrs. Tan and Chen Jinyu.

One is more embarrassed than the other.

It is said that on the way to the north, I encountered a trail-shearing bandit.

The eldest son of Yuhou Yao, a pro-army of the Zhenhuai Army, was invincible in all battles. He abandoned a cart of belongings and escaped with his life when the bandits looted him.

Chen Jingyan's anger is not because of mere property being robbed, but because these gangsters are too arrogant, I know you all dare to rob?Do you really think that my fifth brother's Zhenhuai army is just a display?

This time, Mrs. Tan was terrified, and her daughter was even more terrified. After arriving home, she cried in the middle of the night. When she slept with her mother at night, she had several nightmares. In the dream, she cried, "Daddy, mother, save me." Yu won't go back to his hometown anymore'.

The hearts of Lao Chen and his wife trembled.

That's why, after taking up duty today, I sent someone to call Chen Chu over to discuss the matter of suppressing the bandits. Eyeless killers, get ready to meet the wrath of my fifth brother!
just
At the beginning of Sishi, the father-in-law who went to invite Chen Chu returned alone, and said embarrassingly: "Chen Dutong is the director and said that he has no time to come over right now."

"."

Chen Jingyan was slightly embarrassed.

But immediately began to reflect. The wind has been so smooth recently, am I drifting?Am I being a little overwhelmed by sending someone to call the fifth child here?

If he doesn't come, I'll go to him to control the official headquarters!
All control the government office.

Chen Chu's complexion was uglier than Chen Jingyan's.

He really didn't intend to take money by not going to the government office, but had more important matters to deal with.

In the lobby, Daoist Wugen carefully inspected Liu Siliang's bloody back, but heaved a sigh of relief, and turned to Chen Chu and said, "My lord, one rib was broken in Liu Du's head. Fortunately, there are no serious injuries to the internal organs. It will recover after two or three months."

Hearing this, Chen Chu's face softened a little, and then he squinted at Jiang Shuquan, Qin Dachuan, Lao Meng and others who sent Liu Siliang back.

Jiang Shu's face tightened, and he wanted to explain something, but in the end he sighed and kept silent.

It seemed that he would accept whatever Chen Dutong wanted to do with him.

Lao Meng was timid, knowing that if Dutong wanted to take revenge on them, it would be useless to kill them on the spot, so he was so frightened that he knelt down with a plop.

Liu Siliang was lying on the stretcher in the hall, his face was pale, and his forehead was covered with sweat. He had been with the Dong family for a long time, and he saw that the Dong family was angry at a glance, and quickly said in a hoarse voice: "Master! This matter has nothing to do with the brothers. .”

Hearing Liu Siliang's pleading for several people, Chen Chu's face softened a little, and asked the rest to wait outside the hall first.

There were no other people in the hall, so Liu Siliang talked about the reason for being beaten this time in detail.

Now that the Chinese New Year is approaching, as usual, even ordinary soldiers in the army can receive a bucket of rice for the New Year.

A bucket of rice only weighs more than ten catties, but it is their only welfare for a year, so everyone is looking forward to this little grain.

I don't think so, the grain allotted this year is not only insufficient, but also old grain, with insects and moldy mixed in it.

On the 21st of the twelfth lunar month, after the New Year's rice was issued, there were complaints and private curses in the Wuwei Army.

However, the sergeant, who is used to resignation, can only curse a few words to relieve his anger.

After Liu Siliang was silent for a day, he encouraged the sergeant in the barracks that night to ask Officer Liang Cao for an explanation.

The grain cao officer in charge of the grain, grass and silver payment of the first army is the brother-in-law of Kou Shizhong, the commander of the Wuwei army, and everyone can't help but feel embarrassed.

But Liu Siliang said: "We don't make trouble, we just ask. It's a matter of course for soldiers to eat food. Brothers, wives, children, parents, who won't wait for us to have a full year with this little rice? If we keep silent , They just think that we are stupid and can't find the tricks in the rice grain. Even for the family, we have to fight for it!"

The generous and righteous Liu Siliang has a lot of prestige in Team A of the Ruizi Battalion.

Hearing what he said, the sergeants responded one after another, "Go together."

The next day, Liu Siliang brought dozens of people to look for Officer Shangliang Cao.

Relying on his brother-in-law's power and power, Guan Cao was used to being domineering. He never took these big-headed soldiers seriously, and in anger, he whipped Jiang Shuquan, Liu Siliang and the others.

A few people didn't fight back, they gritted their teeth and let the grain cao officer do what they wanted.

Such movements attracted many soldiers to watch.

Seeing Jiang, Liu and other men's clothes fluttering in the air but not moving, they couldn't help but feel a bit of sadness about the death of a rabbit and a fox.

The Nianmi incident hurt the interests of all low-level sergeants.

The onlookers may not have the guts of the Ruizi Yingjia team, but they might as well be full of admiration and sympathy.

In the end, things alarmed Kou Shizhong.

When Kou Shizhong saw that Liu Siliang from Zhenhuai Army was among the people who came to ask for an explanation, he immediately asked Liu Siliang to be dragged out, wanting a hundred sticks on his spine.

If you hit with a hundred sticks, you will definitely die.

Jiang Shuquan and the others hurriedly interceded, and boldly said: "I came here just to ask a question. I have neither offended the superior nor made noise. A hundred spines is really heavy! If the adult wants to punish, the villain should be punished as well. Hit it!"

After all, Jiang Shuquan folded his fists and knelt down on one knee.

The onlookers and soldiers felt sorry for each other.

Ruiziying is Kou Shizhong's confidant team, and Jiang Shuquan is the leader of Ruiziying Team A.

Although Kou Shizhong was dissatisfied with Jiang Shuquan's statement, he still sold some thin noodles to the other party, and changed the stick spine from one hundred to forty stick spines.
Execution in front of the whole army.

After the execution, Kou Shizhong completed his prestige of killing chickens and monkeys, and then promised a bright future to the soldiers.

It's just that Jiang Shuquan and the others have long been tired of hearing it. This way of drawing big cakes is used too much, which is annoying.

After Jiang Shuquan saw the life of a sergeant in the Zhenhuai Army, he knew what it was like to truly 'love soldiers like a son'.

Afterwards, Kou Shizhong would never keep Liu Siliang in the Wuwei Army, and immediately ordered Jiang Shuquan and others to send the latter back to the Zhenhuai Army.

With such an arrangement, Kou Shizhong also hid a bit of dark thoughts. In his mind, Chen Chu, who is full of blood, saw his people being beaten and sent back in such a miserable state, and he would definitely take his anger out on Jiang Shuquan and the others.

If Chen Chu's hand is used to deal with Jiang Shuquan and others, it will not only beat the latter, but also make Jiang Shuquan hate Chen Chu, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Here, Chen Chu heard Liu Siliang narrate the whole process, and couldn't help shaking his head: "Brother Siliang, your method is too risky! If Kou Shizhong really kills you on the spot, I will be beyond my reach, and it will be too late to save you." .”

Liu Siliang, who had been frowning because of the pain, squeezed out a smile when he heard the words, and said, "If you die, you will die. Anyway, the master will take care of my parents, wife and children."

"You're talking nonsense, my mother-in-law will take care of herself, don't try to rely on me!"

"Ha ha."

Liu Siliang knew that his master was joking with him, but then he suppressed his smile and said seriously: "Master, people like Jiangdutou have seen my Zhenhuai Army and Luliuxu before, and their hearts are already confused at this moment! I just called At the right time, let them completely stop thinking about Kou Shizhong and others."

"You have learned how to play tricks." Chen Chu shook his head and smiled wryly.

"I've seen so many big shows, it's not for nothing."

Liu Siliang also laughed.

"How many people like Jiang Dutou are there now?" Chen Chu asked.

"Not many, but not too many. There are not many people in the Wuwei Army who are willing to sacrifice their lives for Kou Shizhong. Now that the hearts of Ruiziying are scattered, the boss can prepare to attack."

Liu Siliang said in a low voice, then seemed to recall some key information, and said again: "That's right. The battalion officer Jiang Huaixiong of the Xiongzi Battalion of the Wuwei Army where Baishun is located is a character. He is honest and upright, and he is disliked by the officials who served repeatedly. Now the Hukou Mountain Army Village, which has been thrown on the banks of the Huai River, has not been promoted for many years, so the boss might as well try to win him over."

"This matter, I know it well."

Chen Chu nodded. Some things had already been done a few months ago.

Among the Wuwei Army's five armies, Baoziying, Zhongziying, and Fuziying, the three battalions, there are thousands of invoices from Tongshan.
Just like the mantra of Zhu Da, the commander of the Jing'an Army, isn't it good that "peace makes money"?

"Okay, the fourth brother will rest for a few days. I sent you back to Luliuwei to take care of you at home a few years ago."

"Hey, don't worry. Master, don't forget to talk to Jiang Dutou. Although he is Kou Shizhong's confidant and Gong Rui's subordinate, he is a man who understands things and has a heart for our army. He is definitely available!"

"it is good!"

It's the end of time.

Chen Chu had a secret conversation with Jiang Shuquan for more than half an hour. As soon as the latter left the capital control office, Chen Jingyan came to visit.

The main idea is that the northern bandits in Caizhou cut the path, and the fifth brother needs to take the trouble to eradicate it.
"Third brother."

There was no one around, and Chen Chu affectionately called the order, "Sister-in-law and Ayu are frightened, and it is my job to protect the border and protect the people, so naturally I will not shirk it. But now that the Zhenhuai army is newly formed, it may be possible to go out alone to suppress the bandits." If you don’t catch it, why don’t the third elder brother write a letter to Master Zhang, please order the Jing’an Army and Wuwei Army to cooperate with our Zhenhuai Army to fight.”

"."

Chen Jingyan gave Chen Chu a strange look. The Jing'an Army is okay, but the Wuwei Army obviously can't pee in the same pot as you, and if he needs to cooperate with you, isn't he afraid of delaying at the critical moment?
Chen Chu pretended not to understand Chen Jingyan's doubts, and continued: "I heard that the Ruizi Battalion and the Baozi Battalion of the Wuwei Army are powerful in combat, and when the third brother and Mr. Zhang wrote the essay, they asked the Kou commander to bring the two battalions to come. Help out."

"Uh good."

Chen Jingyan became more and more confused, and always felt that the little brother was hiding something.

The 25th of the twelfth lunar month.

Zhang Chunxiao, the conciliator of Henan Road Economic Strategy, received the official document from Tongzhi Caizhou. When Chen Jingyan mentioned the path-cutter bandit, his words were full of passion and indignation.

Zhang Chunxiao couldn't help laughing, Chen Jingyan's family members were shocked when they encountered bandits on the road, of course it is understandable for Chen Jingyan to be angry.

This matter, no matter from which point of view, needs cooperation.

Immediately on the same day, according to Chen Jingyan's request, the two battalions of Zhenhuai Army, the first battalion of Jing'an Army, and the second battalion of Wuwei Army were dispatched, and three days later they started to suppress bandits.

The 26th of the twelfth lunar month.

When Kou Shizhong received the official document from Henan Road, he couldn't help scolding his mother: "It's almost the Chinese New Year, and I don't want people to stop!"

But this official document was issued by Henan Road, and Kou Shizhong had to carry out the order no matter how unwilling he was.

The next day, Kou Shizhong led Ruizi Camp and Baozi Camp to the north.

In three or two days it will be New Year's Eve, but going out to fight at this time means that the New Year's reunion will be ruined.

The sergeants were downcast one by one, complaining constantly in private.

Before setting off, Gong Rui, the Marquis of Yu in Ruizi Camp, felt a little uneasy for some reason, and couldn't help but said: "My lord, why do I feel that this matter is strange?"

"Master Zhang personally gave the order, can we still disobey it?"

Kou Shizhong said unhappily.

In fact, he had doubts when he first received the order. If the order was issued by Chen Chu, he might be more vigilant. But Mr. Zhang, there is no reason to harm him.

Besides, your Zhenhuai Army has two battalions, and my Wuwei Army has two battalions. Even if you want to eat black and white, I'm not afraid of you!
Thinking of this, Kou Shizhong, just to be on the safe side, said again: "Send an order to let the Fuziying also go out with the army!"

It's always safe now.

I have three battalions, you have two battalions, the advantage is mine!
