Han’s Son is Not a Slave: Chapter 101 flag soldier

Since the Qing army slaughtered Gaoyao County four years ago, Gaoyao County has never regained its former population and prosperity. Today, there are only five or six thousand people in Dingkou in the county. , otherwise, I'm afraid this will be an empty city like many counties in western Guangdong.

Thanks to the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty, Qin Ming, the current magistrate of Gaoyao, doesn't have to worry about the annual tax payment, because the Ministry of Housing has transferred Gaoyao County from an upper-class county in the Ming Dynasty to a lower-class county. Last year, Nanming Li Dingguo When the pirates entered, the imperial court issued a decree to exempt the three-year tax from the prefectures and counties under the Ming army. In all, it was less than two years, and there was still one year left without paying taxes.

There is no need to pay taxes to the imperial court, the magistrate is naturally comfortable, and can make a lot of money in private. People, the imperial court is sympathetic to you, but you also have to be sympathetic to the county magistrate. Going up, 70% of Dingkou in the county is suffering, but going down, there are still 30% left! This 30% imperial court does not look down on it, but I can see it, sir, is it easy for me to come all the way to your place to become an official! You can wait for the people to be considerate. If you don't, I will be considerate of you, sir!

The county seat of Gaoyao is not big, unlike the Fucheng, which has four gates, but only two gates from the east and the west. There are green camp soldiers stationed at the east gate. The people dare not be neighbors with the camp soldiers, so they live in the west city more consciously. Only those big families who are related to the camp soldiers or have officials in their families dare to live in the west city.

The county government office is also in Dongcheng. It is the original county government office in the Ming Dynasty. It is in a state of dilapidation. Looking at the situation, it has not been repaired for at least 50 years. What are you doing to eat, the yamen is broken like this, you guys give it to Xiu Xiu!

Yes, if you don't repair it, this official will not repair it. If you repair it, it may not let you live for the rest of your life. What will I do next? I should take advantage of the county's tax exemption for one year and make more money. Next year, I will go to the Governor's Palace and The palace has to do more management, no matter what, it has to change to another place to be an official.

............

If there are people, there will be commercial existence.

No matter how few people in Gaoyao County are, there are always thousands of people. In addition to the old and the weak, the population is tens of thousands. In addition, it is not far from Fucheng, and there are still businessmen coming and going. Therefore, there are two shops in the city. The restaurants are all located in Xicheng, and they do business with neighbors and foreign merchants in Pingli. Although the business is bleak, they often encounter soldiers from Dongcheng who come to eat Bawang Rice, but no matter how bleak it is, they can barely maintain it. Sometimes it's not that they don't give money to a reasonable battalion, but they can always give some, so that they won't shut down at a loss. But they didn't know that the battalion was also smart, because if they didn't give money, the restaurant wouldn't be able to open. Without the restaurant, where would they go to eat and drink? Are those meals eaten by humans? So no matter how much you have to give people some money, otherwise, everyone will be unlucky.

On this day, the man from Sihai Restaurant had just cleaned the tables and benches, and when he opened the door and was about to do business, he saw a large group of Green Battalion soldiers suddenly appearing on the street. I was about to bite the bullet and receive these uncles of the green camp, but if you take a closer look, these battalion soldiers look at each other very well, and then listen to the accent, eh? When did the county come to help the soldiers from other provinces?

Those soldiers from other provinces seemed to have just entered the city and were unfamiliar with the city. They finally found a restaurant. Immediately, like a hungry dog ​​seeing a piece of fat, they rushed over happily and barking. The speed was so fast that the guys were stupid. When he caught his eye, there was nowhere to avoid it, so he just called and pushed him aside.

"Bring up all the delicious food and drink, hurry up with your hands and feet, if you are slow, I will tell you to hurry up with a knife!"

After the soldiers with provincial accents entered the store, they sat down in groups of three or five, clapping the table and shouting for the guys to bring good wine and food. Many soldiers from other provinces rushed over here when they heard the movement. Looking down from the upstairs window, the darkness was overwhelming, blocking the small street so much that it was like going to a temple fair, with hundreds of people.

The guys were terrified by the group of intruding soldiers from other provinces. Looking at the large swords and spears on the table, they were all dumbfounded, too scared to move.

The shopkeeper has finally seen the world, and when he hears the accents of these soldiers from other provinces, he knows it's broken: my darling, isn't this the accent of Liaodong! Are these soldiers not the green camp but the flag soldiers?

Gao Yao is only a few dozen miles away from Zhaoqing Fucheng. The shopkeeper often goes to the house to do business, and the provincial capital also often goes there. Even though he has never seen the strength of the flag soldiers in person, he has heard about them, so he knows that the masters of the flag soldiers can’t be offended. , The guy who was busy calling the stupid station hurried to the back kitchen to bring the wine and dishes.

The shopkeeper's fat lady didn't know how powerful the flag soldiers were, so she looked at him stupidly, so scared that the shopkeeper quickly pulled her aside, waved her hands repeatedly, and motioned her to hurry to the backyard to hide.

............

The shopkeeper really guessed that these soldiers from other provinces were really standard soldiers from Liaodong.

This group of Han troops did not dare to be arrogant in the provincial capital, because many eyes were staring at them, and the princes were also afraid that the court would blame them, so they controlled them tightly, and they did not dare to be arrogant on weekdays. But when they left the provincial capital, these Han soldiers immediately became uncles. They were very arrogant. No one dared to offend them, no one dared to provoke them, and no one dared to control them. After driving for dozens of miles, we finally found this Gaoyao County. How could the Han army be unhappy.

Seeing these gang of flag soldiers eating and drinking nonsense in their own shop, the shopkeeper is really in pain, but he has not yet complained, and he must always have a smile on his face, so as not to be beaten by some drunk flag soldier. Dayton, that is really a loss of wine and food and a loss of yourself.

In the situation of the Four Seas Restaurant, the guests from the neighbors and the other side are almost the same. If they dare to break in, they think they are entering the same restaurant, because all they see are people eating meat and drinking in large bowls. The soldier, as well as the stunned man and the shopkeeper with a painful face.

............

The two restaurants here were tortured by the Han army with the blue flag, and the pedestrians and other shops on the street over there did not escape their scourge.

"Stop, stop for Laozi!"

"Officers and soldiers catch thieves, and dare to run!"

The flag soldiers who deliberately wanted to blackmail the people and get some money shouted loudly along the street, and did not pay attention to the Gaoyao county clerk who had heard the news. Those yamen officers are also very clever, knowing that they can't afford to offend these flag soldiers, whoever is willing to come over, they all hide from a distance and watch, and send people back from time to time to report to the county magistrate what they have seen. The county magistrate Qin Ming heard the flag soldiers and panicked. He sent someone to the county's garrison green camp to inquire about the situation, but the news was that the county's garrison Qian Zong was leading the flag soldiers to Xicheng. go.

It's over, it's over!

Qin Ming doesn't need to think about what those people want to do. The following people ask him what to do, what can he do? Blast everyone out, and then hide in the back office without asking anything.

No gossip, no gossip...

.........

All of a sudden, so many soldiers from other provinces came in, but the people in Gaoyao City were frightened. At first, they thought that these soldiers from other provinces were just passing by Gaoyao. Wanlai also knows what these soldiers are going to do.

Those who were thinking fast on the street immediately slipped away quietly, or hid in the shops on both sides of the street, but those who were thinking slower were not so lucky. They all stopped, then pulled their faces one by one, and pulled out the long knives from their waists, and a group of two or three started to move. Those who hid thought they could escape, but the flag soldiers broke into the house directly, and did not let go anywhere. The unarmed and frightened civilians were so brazenly blackmailed by the Han army with the blue flag that came prepared.

"Why does this callus on your hand look like you're holding a knife!"

"Master Jun, wronged, wronged, the villain farms the land, not the knife..."

"No?! Damn, this is what I eat, how can I still wrong you? What a bummer, it's dishonest, I think you're impatient!"

"Master Jun, spare your life, Jun Ye spare your life..."

"Do you have any money with you?"

"no no…"

"Brothers, this man is a spy of the Ming army, take it!"

"Don't... Junye, the villain has money, money!"

"Forget about your acquaintance, get out!"

"........."

The city is full of ferocious Han army inlaid with blue flags, making the city riot. From time to time, there were also the screams of women and children, as well as the "thump, thump" kicking the door, and the sound of pots and pans falling even more ups and downs.

All individuals, whether they are residents of the city, come to do business, or visit relatives and pass by, without exception, as long as they are seen by the Han army flag, they are immediately arrested and threatened, and they cannot escape without giving money.

A businessman who came from Zhaoqing to do business happened to pass Gaoyao with his buddy. He wanted to go to the city for dinner, but he was unlucky. As soon as he entered the city on the front foot, the Han army flag came on the back foot.

At first, the businessman didn't think anything would happen. After all, it was the official army who entered the city, not the bandits. But when the Han army flags began to blackmail the city, the merchant was suddenly overwhelmed with fright, because he had several silver notes in his pocket. If these flag soldiers searched, it would be lost.

The guy saw officers and soldiers arresting people everywhere, and his legs were shaking a little. The master and servant thought about it and left here quickly. When they were about to flee, they saw a leader leading a few soldiers already running towards them.

"stop!"

The two masters and servants were startled. Seeing the other party's eyes swept over them, the businessman knew that it was not good, so he stepped forward to make up a smile and said, "Master, I don't know what's the matter with the small people?"

Zuo Ling asked, "What are you doing?"

"Master Huijun said that the small people are here to visit relatives." The businessman dared not tell the truth. He knew that as long as he said he was a businessman, he would have bad luck today.

"Visiting relatives?"

Na Zuoling didn't believe it, he grinned and scolded: "Since you are here to visit relatives, why do you hide when you see us?"

You are knocking money all over the street, can I do it without running? The businessman cursed secretly, but said in his mouth: "Master Jun has misunderstood. Where is Xiaomin hiding from Master Jun? Xiaomin just happened to be leaving."

When Zuo Ling heard what he said, he couldn't help sneering "hehe", and said yin and yang strangely: "Really?"

"Yes Yes…"

Seeing Zuo Ling's face is not good, the businessman felt a sudden shock, and he wanted to leave immediately. He said with trepidation: "This military lord, the villain, master and servant, have always obeyed the law. The military lords are busy catching thieves. What are you doing, don't give way to the military master!"

The guy quickly stepped aside when he heard the words, but Zuo Ling and a few of his subordinates laughed.

That Zuo Ling turned his face black and shouted, "Tied up!"

The businessman turned pale with fright, and the man turned pale with fright. Those flag soldiers had prepared ropes, and could not help tying up the master and servant.

The businessman was so frightened that he moved desperately, and the two flag soldiers who tied him were so angry that they cursed: "Don't move! Dare to move again, I want you to look good!"

The businessman begged bitterly: "Master Jun, spare your life... Jun Ye spare your life..."

Na Zuoling said "hummingly", "It's okay to spare your life, but it depends on whether you know each other or not." As he spoke, he was about to touch the businessman's arms.

He had all his belongings in his arms. If they were told to copy it, how would his family live! When the businessman was in a hurry, he didn't know where the strength came from. He broke free of the two flag soldiers who were holding his own, and he was about to run away. How could he know that his neck suddenly became cold, and a long knife was already on his neck~www .mtlnovel.com~ When the guy saw it, he screamed "Ah", rolled his eyes, and even fainted, so frightened that the two flag soldiers who tied him thought they were dead.

Na Zuoling bent down and probed the guy's nose, and found that he was still breathing. He couldn't help but spit in anger, straightened up and glanced at the businessman angrily, scolding: "Want to run! Damn, no toast! Eat, eat, drink and drink, I see that you are impatient to live! Brothers, let this **** bled!"

"Okay!"

The flag soldiers are best at faking threats and pretending to be loud. One of the flag soldiers stepped forward and moved his wrist, and suddenly, the tip of the knife moved slightly against the neck of the businessman.

The businessman only felt a pain in his neck, and only said that he was going to have his head chopped off. If you keep the green hills, you won't be afraid of running out of firewood. Money and money will not be brought to you in life or in death. If your life is gone, what will you do with the money!

The businessman stomped his foot and begged for mercy with a crying voice: "The soldier should not kill the civilians, the army should not kill the civilians, the civilians have money, and the civilians have money!"

As soon as these words came out, Zuo Ling and his subordinates immediately showed ecstatic expressions.

"Fuck, if you knew each other earlier, you wouldn't have to suffer from this flesh and blood!" Na Zuoling touched the businessman's waist while talking sarcastic words, "Where is the silver?"

"In Xiaomin...in Xiaomin's arms..."

After the businessman finished speaking, he seemed to let out a breath, and his body was limp and was about to collapse. Nazuo hurriedly asked his subordinates to support him, and reached out to touch his arms. At this time, there was a scream of killing in the ear. The sound is from far to near.

Diaomin dare to resist?
