open sea

Chapter 11
When they set off again at dawn, no one in their condolence team rode a horse. The six horses dragged a dozen fur blankets tied together with hemp ropes, which carried their harvest.It took a long time for Chen Mu to figure out the Ming Dynasty's first-level skill...too fierce!

The Ming Dynasty used the leader to judge the military merits from the beginning to the end, from the army to the common people, from the nine borders to the inland, all the killing of bandits was recorded with the leader and ears.The Japanese pirates who are far away are said to be close. During the Hongwu period, the imperial court gave a reward of 50 taels of silver to those who robbed a ship of the pirates in the offshore and killed the pirates. The head of a pirate was also 50 taels. 20 taels.During the Jiajing period, regardless of land and water masters, guests, officers, soldiers and civilians, as long as a real Japanese leader is killed, he will be promoted to the third level, and he will not be rewarded with 150 taels of silver; It is 50 taels.

As for encountering thieves in the sea, one can attack a sinking ship, or chase and climb mountains, so that the thieves cannot approach the port; Seize its momentum, or pursue it out of the country, or force it off the ship, so that the place will not be harmed; or if there are fewer soldiers, but many people are captured and killed, these are all miraculous achievements!
Moreover, the government rewards are not constant, and they also pay attention to inflation. When there are many thieves, it is easy to get the head, and the reward is less; when there are few thieves, it is difficult to get the head, and the reward is more.As for Chen Mu and the others, the thieves they chased this time belonged to the outback thieves, which had the lowest reward. The official price was five taels, but it was unknown how much they could actually get.

"However, this first-level skill is not so easy to get. Brother, you don't know. I heard from the old military household from the north that the nine-sided killing of good people is very powerful. Most of the Ming people who came back from the border were killed. The military households on the Nine Sides killed them and carried their heads to receive the reward, and they still have fur coats!"

Shao Tingda killed the two thieves at night, and when Bai Yuanjie ordered the pursuit, the reckless worm still had strength, and after chasing after him, he caught a thief by the edge of the forest. Although his shoulder was shot by a feather arrow, after treatment, there was no serious problem. It was the second most murdered thief last night Yu Chen Mu's.Now he is holding the rope to tie the thieves and walking ahead, he is very happy, talking about military exploits, "Even if the Ming people who escaped are wearing civilian clothes, they can cut off their heads and put them in fur coats. The northern captives, and the city of Beijing when the weather is right."

It is not uncommon in history to kill good people and take meritorious deeds. It is not a strange thing for Chen Mu. Obviously, these words can not cause shock to him. He nodded slowly and walked forward. It was Shao Tingda who asked Chen Mu to come when he mentioned Beijing. Interested, he asked, "What happened to Beijing?"

Tianshun was the reign title of Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty, almost 100 years ago.Chen Mu looked at the five big and three rough reckless worms with intriguing eyes. Does his brother still have such knowledge?
"It's all spread, so you don't know, brother." It was that look again, and that look again!What the hell, Bai Yuanjie looked at him like an idiot last night, and now Shao Tingda dares to look at him like that.Raising his hand, he slapped Shao Tingda on the back of the head with his hand wrapped in white linen, and Chen Mu urged, "Hurry up!"

"Hey, let me tell you, is it the Cao Qin Rebellion? The soldiers and Ma Ping rebels in Beijing killed all the beggars in order to behead their heads and receive rewards. The people in the city were so scared that they didn't dare to go out for several days, tsk tsk." Shao Tingda pursed his lips. He shook his head, but in the end, he put his big head next to Chen Mu and asked in a low voice, "Brother Mu, you said we have a chance... to kill or not?"

Chen Mu suddenly turned his head and stared at Shao Tingda with wide eyes, what the hell!Do smart people think like this?

The People's Liberation Army, who is used to the situation of the army and the people, does not take the people's stitches and threads as their platform, suddenly throws him into this era of bandits and soldiers like a comb, and he really can't accept it for a while.

As if caught by Chen Mu's gaze, Shao Tingda scratched his head with a troubled expression and said, "Brother, don't look at me like that, life is too difficult for us military households!"

Shao Tingda's words reminded Chen Mu of his first day in this world, when his five big and three thick brothers rubbed their hands and knocked on his door to borrow rice, he couldn't help sighing, and said softly, "Okay, this will Take two heads and capture one, the credit is enough for you to make a fortune, and you don't need to kill the people."

Hearing this, Shao Tingda nodded and looked back at the captive being pulled by the rope, grinning like a barbell as if looking at silver.

Chen Mu figured it out. Before yesterday, only Shi Qi, a silent bannerman under his banner, had seen blood kill people, but after last night, the rest of them had seen life and death, and their spirits changed immediately. .

It's easy to understand that the Ming army killed the good and pretended to be meritorious, but it's understandable, and Chen Mu couldn't accept it either.He can't control others, but at least he can control his own people, killing the good and pretending to be meritorious?Don't think about it!

In the later Han Dynasty, Lu Bu was likened to an eagle, saying that if you are hungry, you will use it, and if you are full, you will go away.But now, in Chen Mu's view, military households in the Ming Dynasty were not just hungry eagles, it was good to have enemies.But in the world, there are not many guards like Qingyuanwei that have no foreign enemies in the Ming Dynasty, and how many poor military households like Shao Tingda are.The Ming Dynasty appeared to be calm on the surface, but who knew what was going on under the turbulent tide?
In the battle last night, they captured three thieves and twelve thieves, and gained a lot.In comparison, the casualties were negligible. Four flagmen died under Zhang Yongshou's banner, one of whom was killed by hitting the center of the center with a bird gun in the panic of his colleagues.Originally, there were seven people including him under Chen Mu's banner. Old man Zheng was chopped off his thigh in the battle, and now he is sitting on the back of the carriage. Without medical means, he will probably be called Old Zheng Lame in the future. Besides him, one person died in battle. Chen Guan, who dropped his weapon and fled at the beginning of the battle, approached the horse, but Bai Yuanjie thought he was fleeing from the horse and shot him dead.

The battle was almost one-sided, Chen Mu didn't know what happened, and he became the first in this battle. After the battle, Bai Yuanjie said that he almost stopped all the bandits who rushed into the camp, and kept praising his combat power. Others looked at him. There is also a lot of awe in his eyes, only he knows... It is really luck to kill the five thieves and not die.

Camping at night, although out of the black ridge, the experience of night battles made everyone more vigilant than before.Chen Mu was eating salty and hard dry food bored and dreaming of hiring a cook to have a good meal in his head, when he saw Zhang Yongshou walking over with a smile, and said to Chen Mu: "Brother Chen, can I have a word?"

Chen Mu was a little puzzled, carefully put the dry food back into the bag, nodded, got up and walked away with Zhang Yongshou, only then saw Zhang Yongshou said with a smile: "Brother Chen, you and I are fighting side by side, Zhang will not say those lies Yes. Brother Chen has eight heads now, I wonder if he intends to use them for promotion or for rewards?"

eight?Chen Mu knew that Zhang Yongshou had counted all the beheadings under his banner just a little bit of doubt. He was not sure what Zhang Yongshou meant, so he nodded and said: "The next family is poor, so I want to exchange five heads for silver rewards. Zhang Xiaoqi?"

"That's very good, why don't we discuss it!" Zhang Yongshou clapped his hands in joy when he heard that Chen Mu wanted to exchange rewards, and said: "Brother Chen will give up his head, and Zhang will give you as much reward as the Guangzhou government can give." How much do you want to buy, what do you think, brother Chen?"
