Chapter 92 Fengxiang Guard Officers
(I'm glad to see that although I didn't shout for votes yesterday, I still got more than 100 red tickets. I'm gratified! I hope everyone can turn the red vote into a habit! Ha ha!)
What Xiao Tianjian didn't know was that at the same time, it was very lively in Lijiazhuang. Xiangyong and poles who were invited to help in the battle had gathered outside Lijiazhuang and waited for departure outside Lijiazhuang.
However, the 500 officers and soldiers who came from Fengxiang Mansion have not arrived for a long time. Li sent people to urge him many times, but he still did not see the 500 officers and soldiers coming. He was so anxious that Mr. Li jumped up and down and kept sending people to Fengxiang Mansion to urge.
It's not that Li Fengtian is in a hurry, because this action is his main thing. The gathered Xiang Yong and poles are all concentrated outside his village. He, the owner, is responsible for the problem of eating. Nearly a thousand people are gathered together, and it takes a lot of time every day. Although he is rich, every The food that was eaten like running water still made his meat painful.
What's more, this time there are not only several other Zhuangzi's Xiangyong, but also some local poles. It is inevitable that there will be some resentment between the two sides. How can we get together without making trouble!
So as soon as they began to gather, there was a conflict between Zhuangwai and Zhuangding outside Wang. He fought outside Lijiazhuang first, and both sides were killed and injured. They almost made a big mess. Later, it was Li Fengtian who came forward in person and finally intervened the conflict, otherwise This time their joint operation may be a miscarriage because of this alone.
Under Li Fengtian's urging and threat, the result was that he had been waiting for three days, and the officers and soldiers of this team of Feng Xiangwei finally rushed to the outside of Lijiazhuang in the southeast of Liyang County.
This time, the team was led by a Qian boss named Feng Xiangwei, named Ding Baoquan. He is five short, fat and fat. After walking a few steps, he wants to breathe. At least he rides a war horse, but he can still move. If he leaves the war horse, I really dare not think about whether this guy can run.
Ding Baoquan's ancestor was a general who followed Zhu Yuanzhang and was awarded the title of Feng Xiangwei as a general. Mr. Qian of Ding Bao's was also passed down from the lineage. At least he was a descendant of the general, but when it came to his area, this martial arts could no longer be mentioned. The family was richer than ordinary landlords. It is said that there are hundreds of hectares of fertile land and more than a hundred domestic slaves.
This time he was ordered to come to Yanyang, which can be said to be reluctant. Some time ago, Chen Qiyu, the governor of the five provinces, mobilized Shaanxi soldiers and horses to encircle and suppress the army. He spent money to open the joints and did not join in the fun. He thought he could stay at home peacefully, but he didn't expect to get such a job and let him order Feng Xiangwei's. Five hundred officers and soldiers came to this Yanyang County to suppress the bandits. Ding Bao was really indescribably unhappy, so after being ordered, he procrastinated and refused to start.
Later, Shangfeng pressed him, so he had to order the soldiers and horses. He also asked for a sum of money. After sending out part of it, he took these soldiers who had just gathered together out of Fengxiangwei and dragged all the way to Yanyang County.
Originally, it was only less than a hundred miles away, but this man walked with the team for four days. If he couldn't walk 20 miles a day, he would stop and rest. Mr. Li in Yanyang was really anxious to get out of the sky and finally rushed outside Lijiazhuang on May 23.
This Ding Baoquan does not dare to be too rude to Mr. Li. After all, there are some people in Mr. Li's family who are officials in the capital. He is also a military general. Although he has the protection of his ancestors' achievements, he can't stand the tripping him in the court. He has a book, and he has done it at the end.
So after arriving at Lijiazhuang, although he was a military attache of the imperial court, he still lowered his posture and took the initiative to enter the village to meet Mr. Li.
Mr. Li was so anxious that he finally saw the military officer leading the troops here, so he suppressed his anger and saw this Ding Baoquan.
"Mr. Ding Qian has worked hard all the way! But I don't know why Mr. Ding Qian came so procrastinating this time? Old Master Li relied on the people in the court, and he also directly questioned Ding Qian.
Ding Baoquan secretly scolded this old bastard in his heart, but his fat face still hugged his fists with a humble smile and replied, "See Mr. Li!" In fact, it is not the wrong time to be inferior this time! As you know, Mr. Li, the soldiers of this guard office have often not been able to get military paid over the years. The soldiers under their humble positions have not seen military paid for almost a year. These days are really hard! It's hard to get them to gather and send troops! After the inferior position was ordered, it was not easy to gather the soldiers together, but Shangfeng did not pay for a long time. The soldiers refused to leave, and there was really nothing he could do!
A few days ago, I finally got the money. The humble job quickly rushed over with my brothers. It was really difficult to walk on the road. In addition, the food and fodder were not good, and the brothers could not walk fast, so it was delayed to today!
I hope you can forgive me, Mr. Li! This is by no means inferior and unwilling to come here to help the old man suppress the bandits!"
After hearing this, Li Fengtian thought about it and thought about it. The officers and soldiers are often short of pay, and it is really difficult to mobilize them. He also used the officers and soldiers of Fengxiangwei through the peak of Ding Baoquan. He wanted their morale to come like Hongfei, unless the money is piled up in front of them. Otherwise, don't let the officials The soldiers fought to suppress the bandits.
But Li Fengtian still waved his hand to Ding Baoquan and said, "Mr. Ding Qian's words are bad! In suppressing bandits this time, how can the officers and soldiers help us squires! Originally, suppressing bandits was the responsibility of the officers and soldiers, but we squires organized the countryside to come out bravely to help the officers and soldiers suppress bandits! There is nothing wrong with this!"
Ding Baoquan immediately scolded Li Fengtian in his heart. He clearly said that I came here this time to cooperate with you and help you. Now why have you become the main force? You guys have become help for me?
But this can't be scolded. Ding Baoquan still said with a smile, "This is natural, this is natural!" Ha ha! It's just that I came here this time, and I'm not familiar with this place. Many things still rely on you to help me!
Before sending troops here this time, there was not much food allocated above. These soldiers and generals under the humble position always have to eat. How can they go to war to fight against bandits without food and money? This depends on Mr. Li's help!
As long as the money and grain arrive, the humble position can lead the army to suppress the bandits as soon as possible. Otherwise, you always know that this military heart is difficult to be stable!"
Li Fengtian is also angry. He thought that as long as you move your buttocks, you have to withdraw money. If you don't have money, you don't do anything. What's the use of the court raising your generals? But he is also unwilling to tear up with Ding Baobao. After all, he is just a local gentry. At least he is a court official. It's a shame to be able to speak politely to himself, and what he said is also true. Now Shanshan, Henan, Sichuan and Huguang are gathering troops to encircle and suppress those big poles. There is no interest. It's none of his business! This money and grain will definitely not be saved for this Ding. If you want to work hard for these officers and soldiers, you still need to have money and food to open the way!
Li Fengtian was also mentally prepared for this matter. He had discussed this matter with several big villages around him in advance, asked each family to pay some money and food, send it here to the officers and soldiers, and let the officers and soldiers fight for them to fight against bandits.
So now these things are ready in place. Since Ding Baoquan asked for it, let him down, so that he can send troops to Tianlongzhai as soon as possible to do the one surnamed Xiao, so that he won't have a lot of dreams at night.
"This old man has considered it for Mr. Ding Qian! Since I and others invited Mr. Ding Qian to suppress the bandits, naturally they will not let the officers and soldiers empty their stomachs! Now the old man has prepared 500 taels of silver for Mr. Ding Qian, as well as 100 stones of grain, two pigs and five sheep, which will be sent to the army as soon as Mr. Ding Qian arrives! I also hope that Ding Qian can go there as soon as possible, so that those bandits don't know the news! This matter still depends on Mr. Ding Qian!" Li Fengtian narrowed his eyes and said faintly to Ding Baobao, and picked up the tea bowl and took a sip.
After Ding Baoquan heard this, he was much more satisfied. No matter how arrogant the old guy is, at least he still knows the rules. Although 500 taels of silver is not much, it is not less. What's more, before this dispatch of the army, he has received 500 taels of cash to make up the number. This time, his men can mix a taels of silver. At least fooling them, don't make a mess. He can still put part of it into his pocket. This trip is not in vain.
So Ding Baoquan immediately patted his chest with a smile and promised, "Mr. Li, please rest assured. It's just a group of poor people!" Just leave this matter to me! Tomorrow morning, I will take up my troops and tell them to annihilate them! I'm going to say goodbye. Please wait for the good news tomorrow!"
Ding Baoquan really doesn't take small poles seriously. When he came here, he saw a large number of villagers gathered outside Lijiazhuang. In addition, the five hundred officers and soldiers under his command, unless they meet a large pole, and the number of people exceeds them, otherwise, it is basically a matter of capture. Love.
No wonder Ding Baoquan is so arrogant. In fact, although Ding Baoquan has repeatedly avoided war in recent years, he has also led soldiers and fought several battles with the rioters. In his eyes, whether it is a pole or a riot, there is nothing terrible thing at all. A group of guys with wooden sticks and hoees are crowded together. Although he is not good at fighting, but At least after being a general, he knows more or less the method of point battle. He often leads troops to rush. After killing a few people casually, the opponent often collapses immediately. Next, he is waiting for him to lead his army to chase after him. In the past few years, this kind of playing method can be said to be tried many times, which makes him accumulate some achievements.
So when he came this time, he heard from Shangfeng that he was just coming to encircle and suppress a pole of two or three hundred people, so he received the order and did not regard this matter as a big deal.
Seeing that Ding Bao's careless look and his figure, Li Fengtian was really a little worried. He had already served tea to see him off, but he still stopped Ding Baobao and said, "Ding Qian, have a good time! Don't be too careless when you go to suppress the bandits this time! Li heard that the pole has been very arrogant recently. It has gathered as many as five or six hundred people. Don't despise them too much! In addition, I also heard that the palm plate of the pole is called Xiao Yi Axe, who is very brave and good at fighting. Recently, he has annexed two poles around him in a row, and also knocked down a Zhuangzi. He should be a person with some ability. Ding Qian can't underestimate the enemy too much!"
Hearing this, Ding Baoquan was really shocked, and he immediately cursed again. Damn, didn't he say that there were only two or three hundred people when he came? How come there are more and more bandits here! Isn't this cheating me?
And according to what Mr. Li said, the opponent is still a person with some ability. No wonder. No wonder they have gathered so many villagers, but they still have to go to Fengxiang Mansion to ask for soldiers. This is obvious that I have to work hard in front of them. They take the opportunity to take advantage of it!
So he turned his eyes, stopped quickly, turned around and punched Li Fengtian and said, "What is this? This time, I brought 500 elite soldiers. How can I be afraid of them? It's just that I'm new to the local area. After all, I'm still not familiar with this place, and it will inevitably bother the local Xiangyong. This time, I hope that Mr. Li can also hand over these Xiangyong to the general command, so as not to mess up the battle!"
Li Fengtian saw that Ding Baoquan had taken great attention to it, so he nodded and said, "This is natural! This battle is mainly based on officials and soldiers. I have also gathered nearly a thousand local villagers, that is, to follow Mr. Ding Qian. Before leaving tomorrow, I will tell them that this time to suppress bandits, we should follow the dispatch of Mr. Ding Qian!"
Ding Bao was much more satisfied. He bowed and left again, pulled his big belly and walked out of Lijiazhuang...
