The Great Bandit in Kangxi Year

Chapter 46

In this counting of the number of people, excluding the four guards and the yamen arresters, there are still 1137 young and strong. Jiang Tao will not recruit the yamen arresters, and it will be of great use to keep them.

Of course, there are more than [-] young men who were captured in addition to such a large number of people. At this moment, the [-] or so people made a fuss: "The general did not keep his word, let us go home..."

"How did I forget about this?" Jiang Tao said depressedly in his heart, and then secretly warned, it seemed that he was getting carried away, and it's not good to impose his own ideas on others.

Cross-eyed secretly laughing in his heart, let's see how this black guy will end up now?
"Quiet, folks who are willing to go, take the money and go."

The prisoners were relieved when they heard the words, and were about to take the silver and leave, but Jiang Tao said coldly: "But you were captured by this general, and you were rewarded with silver. The whole city knows that this general will go to see Zhu San in a few days. Prince, when the Manchu Tartars come over, I wonder if they will be merciful and let you go?"

The captives changed their faces when they heard the words, everyone knew about the cruelty and unreasonableness of the Tartars, and everyone knew about it. Now that this game is over, I and my family members will definitely die at that time.

A shrewd man hurriedly said: "The general is merciful, everyone doesn't want any money, so what will happen to the Tartars?"

"Hey, you all go away, but whether the tartars think you are spies, the general has no way of knowing, we can only see if the tartars can pardon you." Jiang Tao continued to curse.

The prisoners hesitated, only to feel that there were wolves in front and tigers in the back, making it difficult to advance and retreat.

"Haha, but follow this general. One person joins the army and the whole family wears warm clothes and eats enough to eat. Moreover, the monthly salary of a small soldier is two taels of silver, that of a squad leader is three taels of silver, that of a captain is ten taels of silver, and that of a commander is 20 taels of silver. The general will reward 20 taels, the beheaded tartars will be rewarded with 20 taels per person, and the beheaded tartars will be rewarded with a hundred taels per person, and the tartars will be driven away in the future. As long as they follow the brothers of this general, each of them will be rewarded with [-] mu of land, and they will never pay any food. The army is here, this is the military order, the general's eternal guarantee, everyone can supervise together." Jiang Tao said solemnly, his voice became louder and louder, and everyone in the audience was shocked.

Ordinary ordinary people made copper coins, and many of them had never owned the vain silver, and those noisy captives also died down and returned to their original places obediently.

Jiang Tao also had no choice. He couldn’t talk about feelings or reason with these peasants. He could only talk about money. He sighed in his heart, “Teach them how to kill first, and then teach them how to read. Alas, we can only do it step by step.”

The Chinese have always had a family before the country, and only after the family is destroyed can they think of saving the country.

Jiang Tao threw out another olive branch: "If something happens to someone, this general will not only set up a monument for him and let him live forever, but also his parents will be the general's parents, and his children will be the general's children. The general is also dead in battle, everyone can rest assured to fight to the death, is the prince and general better off? Kill the Tartars, overwhelm the world, and make meritorious deeds, right now!"

At this moment, even the most active cross-eyed person's heart is pounding, Yinzi!White silver!Hey, Heihu has gone through all the troubles, is it just to recruit these people?He seemed to think of something in his heart, but it was not real.

"Kill the Tartars, the world will be overwhelmed, the black tiger general is mighty, the black tiger general is wise." Everyone shouted desperately, maybe we are following the right person, life and death are fate, wealth and honor are in the sky, let's fight.

"Okay, the whole army starts, the whole army will compete in martial arts, and the team will be compared according to the team, and the one with the best martial arts skills will be the team leader." Jiang Tao smiled with satisfaction. He knew that it would be a bit humiliating for a strong army trained by his second uncle to be the team leader of ten people, but Only by training these thousands of people well can you have your own capital. The ancient army's leader died, and it collapsed thousands of miles because there were no qualified basic officers. In this way, I believe that my army will improve.

He had long ago ordered Jiang Wuji and Jiang Wuhui to guard the four gates with their subordinates, and also ordered Wang Dashan's death guards to station outside Luo's mansion and monitor Chen and Wang's family.

He also ordered Niu Mang to select a hundred people to be incorporated into the Black Tiger Guard, and set up a logistics battalion for 37 weaker men, and temporarily joined more than a hundred healthy women and servants of Luo's family, and ordered his uncle to guard the barracks and supervise the progress of the competition, and so on. First, there should be exactly 1000 soldiers in the barracks.

Afterwards, Jiang Tao took Xueyan, Crosseye, Luo Qian and Heihuwei back to the yamen, replacing Jiang Wudao and his subordinates who were guarding the yamen.

Xueyan snorted in her heart: "What a meticulous mind, I'm afraid no one will dare to disobey him after this beating, and he has no ability to disobey him. You have to be careful."

There were only Xiaomei and Xian'er left by her side, and she couldn't help being a little depressed. When she saw that there was no one around Luo Qian and Cross Eye, she felt better.

Jiang Tao saw that the commanders were silent and knew what they were thinking, so he hurriedly said with a smile: "Are you blaming this general for taking away your brothers?"

"Don't dare!" Everyone hurriedly clasped their fists together, but their voices were weak.

"What do these thousands of soldiers count?" Jiang Tao said calmly, and then let go of his voice: "If it is not broken, it will not be erected. If it is not repaired, it will be a mess. How can we defeat the ferocious Tartars? You are all generals of this general, and you are all wise people. If you want to see the overall situation, how can you have the mind of a local rich man? Since you follow this general, why do you want to engage in such arrogance? Orders and prohibitions, meritorious deeds must be rewarded, mistakes must be punished, and winning battles is what this general pursues. Your pursuit."

After this reprimand, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. They were afraid that Jiang Tao would turn his back on him and murder him and others.

The heads of the Wang family and the Chen family had been waiting in the yamen for a long time, and when they heard that Jiang Tao was in the barracks, they did not dare to leave, for fear of falling into Heihu's scheme.

Jiang Tao led the crowd to the yamen, but found two old men kneeling in the yamen. Seeing that they were the two of them, he sighed in his heart: "It's hard for these two old men, how come no one believes what the general said? Why bother?" in this way!"

"Second elder please hurry up, I have offended you, I hope you will forgive me." Jiang Tao went up to meet him, and said with a smile on his face.

"Don't dare, don't dare."

"Let's go, please come inside." Jiang Tao sat down on the chief seat of the county government office, and said with a smile, "Give me a seat for the commanders and the two old men."

Left and right heard the words and hurried to move the chair.

"Thank you General, the general will not commit any crimes when he enters the city, he is really a righteous army." The Patriarch of the Wang family did not dare to hesitate, and hastily called a thousand words: "The Wang family is willing to offer ten thousand shi of grain, and also ask the general to spare the old man's daughter.

"My Chen family is also willing to donate all the cloth, about [-] zhang of various types of cloth." The head of the Chen family saw Jiang Tao's face changed, and hurriedly added: "There is still a thousand shi of grain."

Jiang Tao's face did change, but it wasn't because he thought they had contributed less, but because he was busy all the time, when did he rob the Wang family's daughter?
"Hmph, why is that so unreasonable? When did the Young Master snatch your old man's daughter?" Jiang Hu was standing next to Jiang Tao, and asked hurriedly, while Niu Mang was training the Black Tiger Guard outside.

"Report, young master, leader Hu has brought 500 people to reinforce." An old brother from Heihuzhai ran in and said in surprise.

"Okay, good job, welcome soon." Jiang Tao was overjoyed, stood up and said loudly, unexpectedly, Cheng Zhang and Hu Yidao had recruited at least five hundred young men in just a few days.

Everyone in the county government was shocked, how many subordinates does Heihu have?

"Oh, by the way, when did this general rob you of your daughter, do you know the consequences of wronging this general?" Jiang Tao sat down again, with a grim expression.

"Ah." The Patriarch of the Wang family exclaimed, still in disbelief: "The general really didn't snatch the old man's daughter?"

"Nonsense." Jiang Tao was angry again, and he only lamented that it's hard to be a good person, and he should have looted the two of them in the first place.

"Damn the old man, I misunderstood the general's good intentions, the general is a benevolent man, please spare the old man's nonsense." The Patriarch of the Wang family was trembling with fright, and said cautiously, only sighing that he was old and confused. ?
"Forget it, this general is not an unreasonable person. This time I called the two of you. I heard that both of them started business. It is not easy to do business these days. This general does not make things difficult for the two of you. The items handed in today are the generals. I want all of them, and please set a price. I will deliver the goods and pay the money. From now on, the general needs food, grass and other military supplies. I will pay you two, and I will buy them at a price that is [-]% higher than the market price. I don’t know if you are willing. ?”

PS: I also hope that the brothers will support a lot, and it will explode tomorrow.
