Chapter 121: Together Management (7)

The commander of the guards, Li Chongjin, is the nephew of Zhou Taizu Guo Wei. He holds heavy troops and is most arrogant. His confidant Li Yingchuan was actually plotted on his territory. What's even more cowardly is that he is confused even if his opponent is.

The Guards have fought in the past few years and have formed many enemies. Li Chongjin has been unable to judge that the "noodle shop incident" was a good thing that the group of people did. Some time ago, Li Chongjin secretly invested in the Fuguitang to fight for the Western Regions merchants and the rich shops. Li Chongjin knew that the Fujia Store had a special relationship with Hou Dayong. Although he still looked down on this upstart who was born in the martial arts world, Hou Dayong had already become the governor, and the little girl of the Fu family entered the palace again. This made Li Chongjin deeply concerned about Hou Dayong and dared not openly attack the merchants and shops. He just instructed Li Yingchuan to harass the rich.

Shop. In Li Chongjin's mind, these harassment is really no big deal. Therefore, Li Chongjin does not suspect that it was the rich shops that were doing bad things. In the second year of Xiande, the Guards Division cruelly and ruthlessly suppressed the refugees who made trouble in Onozawa. These refugees were not killed completely and were still hidden deep in Onozawa. The refugee leaders sent people to assassinate Li Chongjin many times. Therefore, in this "noodle shop incident", Li Chongjin focused on suspecting that the target was Onozawa Mizutani, so he ordered the Guards Division to step up the encirclement and suppression of Onozawa. At the same time, he ordered the Guards Division to search for the men who besieged Li Yingchuan in Daliang City.

Li Yingchuan, who suffered a great loss, had a tie-up strap on his head and chest, and carried a shiny waist knife in his hand. He walked around the city all day long with his guards, but he couldn't even find a feather from his opponent. The child who rushed into the noodle restaurant and the men who besieged Li Yingchuan appeared very suddenly and disappeared completely. The angry Li Yingchuan was angry and could not vent his anger. He inexplicably fought with the imperial guards in front of the palace several times, and beat the Kaifeng government official who bumped into his hands, causing Kaifeng prefect Xiang Xun to specifically ask His Majesty to preside over this matter.

The "noodle restaurant incident" was a series of plans set up by Meng Shu, Du Gang and Wu Qilang.

The shopkeeper of the noodle shop was Feiyingtang set up a nail in the ground in Daliang City. He was indeed a tribe of Situ Ling, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel. Due to his family's decline, he first worked as a clerk in a wealthy shop in Xuzhou and was spotted by Feiyingtang. Du Gang asked him to learn how to make cut noodles. After he finished his studies, he opened a noodle shop in Daliang City. Because the shopkeeper of the noodle shop was Situ Ling's tribe, although Situ Ling was very disgusted with this dilapidated household, he was still the guarantor of his fellow tribes. It was because of the shield of Situ Ling that he was not implicated in the noodle shop incident. The officials of the Kaifeng Prefecture just ordered him to open a noodle shop in another place.

The child who rushed into the noodle shop was Xiao Wu who was rescued by Hou Dayong in Zhengzhou porridge farm. He has been learning Shaolin boxing for more than a year with Du Gang. Xiao Wu has a high talent in learning martial arts. In addition, he has rich experience in fighting on the streets and his martial arts are progressing rapidly. Sometimes he fights with the guards of rich shops, and he uses a vicious move. Even those good-skilled guards will be plotted against by him. This time, Xiao Wu was treated as a key initiator for the remediation of Li Yingchuan.

The one who chased Xiao Wu was the private salt dealer invited by Wu Qilang from Zhongmu County, Zhengzhou. In order to deal with Li Yingchuan, Wu Qilang found private salt dealers in Zhongmu area of ​​Zhengzhou. Zhongmu area was an important den for private salt dealers. Wu Qilang knew that Li Yingchuan was very good at martial arts, so he invited five of the most brave sworn brothers to enter Daliang City to deal with Li Yingchuan. These private salt dealers were all good at breaking through the sea of ​​swords and fires. They all used ruthless moves without any scheming. Even though Li Yingchuan was fists and kicked, he was caught off guard and was knocked to the ground by five carefully prepared private salt dealers. After completing the task, these private salt dealers did not stop in the city. After leaving Daliang City, they went down the Yellow River and soon left the sphere of influence of the guards.

The Dianqiansi team led the team, who was also from Feiying Hall, but he did not come from the Black Eagle Army system, but from the Tianxiong Army of Daming Mansion. He deliberately led the Dianqiansi team to patrol the noodle shop area. When the private salt dealers defeated Li Yingchuan and other guards, they would control the scene.

At the same time, there were some shops from rich shops in the crowd. They disguised themselves as they made fun of them, spread rumors and went to Kaifeng Mansion to report the news.

There were two groups of people at the scene that had nothing to do with Meng Shu and the others, one was the yamen runners of Kaifeng Prefecture, and the other was the Confucian scholar of the Imperial College.

According to Wu Qilang's plan, after the matter is serious, the rich shops will inspire the people who are watching the fun in the city to report the news. At that time, the yamen runners will naturally rush to the noodle shop, so there is no need to do a special job.

The Confucian scholars of the Imperial College who appeared on the scene were not the planned characters. They just happened to pass by the noodle shop and unexpectedly watched the excitement. These Confucian scholars have rich imagination but are not strong in judgment. Due to their appearance, many versions of the noodle shop fighting incident appeared, and the more they spread, the more bizarre they became.

Fu Ying, Meng Shu, Du Gang and Wu Qilang were only punishing Li Yingchuan, but they did not expect that Li Yingchuan would be so strong that he killed three people and seriously injured two people in the cell in Kaifeng, turning a small matter into a major event that shocked the court and the country. Fortunately, the matter was arranged carefully. After Li Yingchuan and others were sent to the cell, Meng Shu asked the people involved in the noodle restaurant incident to hide or hide immediately, just like a long snake in the winter, completely disappearing from people's sight, and then avoiding the search of the Guards.

After this reckless action, the entire city search of the Guards Department still scared Meng Shu and sweated. After this incident, Meng Shu and Du Gang recombined the Feiying Hall system and separated the Feiying Hall from the rich shops thoroughly.

Just when the noodle restaurant incident was in full swing, Tongxin City was also full of joy.

Qian Xiangnan and Zhao Pu formulated a marriage plan for land marriage. After Hou Dayong affirmed it, they announced it to the entire Black Eagle Army. After the plan was announced, a stone caused a thousand waves. The strong single men in the field of war for many years did not expect that a strong and beautiful Dangxiang woman would fall from the sky, and most of them would be saliva. Only a few soldiers with a strong sense of justice did not consider this behavior. They especially wonder why the kingly army would make such birds.

The behavior of beasts is worse than beasts. These very few soldiers rebuked the soldiers who were fascinated by beauty and were deeply saddened by the leaders of the Black Eagle Army to make such an unjust act. The two sergeants who had opposite opinions initially spoke their own opinions, then argued calmly, and finally began to argue loudly with high tone, which then developed into a quarrel with red face. The objections were completely surrounded by lustful shouts, and the quarrels eventually became a fight.

After a brief battle, the two sergeants fought. As a result, the soldiers who had the courage to marry the Dangxiang woman had the absolute advantage. The Black Eagle Army soldiers were on the front line of battle, and they could fall to the next battle at any time. Wang Changling said in "The Song of the Frontier": The yellow dust made the ancients, and the white bones were messy. Li Bai expressed the same feeling in "Guanshan Yue": No one was seen again. Most sergeants did not understand these poems, but the bloody battlefield career was ten times deeper than these poems. They had fun in time and left behind the thoughts of leaving descendants to drive all the so-called etiquette, righteousness, integrity and shame into the toilet.

Of course. This is just a small episode in the joyful Black Eagle Army. When those opposition soldiers were angry, more than a dozen opposition parties were broken in the fight and had to swallow their opinions into their stomachs.

After the Qingzhou cavalry was renamed the Northwest Independence Army, Hou Dayong had already regarded the Independence Army as a supplement to the Black Eagle Army. This marriage plan naturally also included the Independence Army. However, the marriage principle of the Independence Army was slightly adjusted according to the actual situation of the Independence Army. After the marriage plan was announced, it was the same as the Black Eagle Army. Independence Army finally unified its thoughts with fists.

The Black Eagle Army and the Independent Army had 6,751 people, and a total of 4,520 soldiers qualified to participate in the marriage. As a result, the number of people who voluntarily signed up for the marriage reached 4,196.

Qian Xiangnan and Zhao Pu were the crafting plan. They each brought more than a dozen staff members to the Black Diao Army and the Independent Army to select 200 people to participate in the first batch of marriage. The Black Diao Army had a larger base, and the first batch of marriage quotas were divided into 1140. The number of independent soldiers was slightly smaller, and only 60 marriage quotas were assigned. The Independent Army enjoyed the same treatment as the Black Diao Army, which made the Independent Army soldiers deeply satisfied, and naturally they did not care about fewer places.

Since the marriage plan has been announced, there is no difficulty in selecting these 200 people. After several days of hard work, the staff arranged the scores of the registered sergeants, and according to the three public principles of "fairness, justice and openness" proposed by Hou Dayong, the scores were announced to the sergeants. The conditions stipulated in the marriage plan were very clear. The sergeants calculated according to their respective conditions and had a lot of thoughts in their minds. Therefore, the first batch of 200 sergeants were all veterans who were expected to be the most popular. After these 200 people, the sergeants who were before seven hundred were looking forward to the arrival of their own good days.

When two hundred grooms slowly walked by Tongxin City on tall horses wearing red and colorful horses, the whole city caused a sensation. In addition to the coalition soldiers, there were only thousands of villagers in Tongxin City who transported food. They witnessed such a grand occasion. Shocked by the unprecedented wedding that they saw, two hundred married the Dangxiang woman at the same time, which was completely beyond their imagination. After returning to their respective villages, they whispered the wonders seen in Tongxin City to the villagers. The elderly in the village were either dumbfounded or slapped their feet, sighing that people's hearts were not old, while the men who could not marry wives in the village were fascinated. Later, many of these men whose male hormones had not been diluted for a long time were thrown into the Black Eagle Army.

Hou Dayong stood on the high platform of the military troop site in Tongxin City, and welcomed these excited soldiers, staring at the list of wedding places that were blown by the wind. Hou Dayong was in a complicated mood. Over the past three years, countless loyal and brave Black Eagle soldiers were buried in the cold land of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Many of them may only be called children. Before they could even get off to the adulthood, they bid farewell to the world forever. After Hou Dayong arrived in ancient times, he had three children and became the father of three children, Hou Dayong often stood in the corner of his parents.

Thinking about the problem, although Hou Dayong knew that as long as there was a battle, he would always be deeply hurt when he saw the sergeant with a tender face shed the last drop of blood on his body. The Black Eagle Army had very strict military orders, and raping a civilian girl would be beheaded. Many of the Black Eagle Army soldiers who died in battle were still young men. Hou Dayong asked the sergeant to marry a Dangxiang woman. On the one hand, he started from the long term and strengthened the construction of the base area, and on the other hand, he wanted the Black Eagle Army soldiers to enjoy a little fun in life. In this way, even if they died in the battlefield, they would reduce the regrets in life.

The Black Eagle Army soldiers and the Yongxing Army soldiers who were not on duty in the city all came to the military field. The villagers who were watching the fun of transporting grain were surrounded by the periphery of the military field. The women of Dangxiang already knew their fate and stood on the other side of the military field with a suspicious and frightened expression.

Chen Meng was standing behind Hou Dayong in neat armor. He heard Hou Dayong say softly to him: "Start." Then he walked to the front table majestic and shouted loudly: "Rise the flag and sing the military song."

Fifty neatly dressed Black Eagle Army soldiers came out from under the platform with a graceful aura. At the front of the team was a tall team leader. He held a shiny saber, holding a saber in front of his eyebrows, drinking a short and loud command in his mouth. Although the neat steps on the ground were covered with dust, the black Eagle Army soldiers were slightly affected, the strict steps, handsome faces and arrogant expressions made the Yongxing Army soldiers, villagers and the group of Dangxiang women watching the side widen their eyes.

"The big sword cuts the heads of the Tartars! All the soldiers of the Black Eagle Army! The day of the decisive battle has arrived. There is our Black Eagle Army in front and the people of the Central Plains behind. We all unite and bravely advance, see the enemy, eliminate him, and rush. The big sword cuts the Tartars on the tops of the Tartars."

Accompanied by the Black Eagle Army's military song, the black Eagle flag with its teeth and claws rising slowly. All the soldiers of the Black Eagle Army stood up straight and stared at the military flag dyed with the blood of the Black Eagle Army. Although Hou Dayong was a military governor, he still stood in the military flag on the platform. This Black Eagle Army military song was a product of the early days of the Black Eagle Army's founding. Although this military song was not very authentic, the Black Eagle Army soldiers sang this military song for several years. These lyrics and tunes have long been imprinted in the souls of the soldiers. Many soldiers only sang this song in their lifetime. Hou Dayong wanted to change this military song several times, but after hesitating for a while, he finally gave up the idea of ​​modifying this military song.

On such occasions, Hou Dayong, as the supreme commander, had to say a few words. Hou Dayong stood on the platform. Looking at the empty military field, the energy of the Dantian was pressed back again. Hou Dayong thought that his lung capacity was not as good as the team holding a knife, and there was no microphone on the platform. Therefore, Hou Dayong walked off the platform and came to the two hundred soldiers wearing red and hanging colors. These soldiers set off their horses when they raised the military flag. When they saw the Jiedushi coming to the front, they held their chests high and looked very majestic.

Hou Dayong was patrolling in front of the team. Except for the sergeant of the Independent Army, he could almost call out the names of these Black Eagle Army soldiers. Hou Dayong called out the names of the soldiers standing in the front row one by one, "Liu Heigou, Shen Yuxing, Ling Yilang, Wang Balang..." The soldiers who were called were very proud. They not only raised their chests, but also raised their heads high.

Hou Dayong walked around and said with great enthusiasm: "There are four happy events in life, one is the long-term drought and the nectar of sweet dew, two is the encounter with old friends in a foreign land, three is the golden list nomination, and four is the wedding night. I personally think that the only thing that can make everyone excited is probably this wedding night. Now, the door of happiness has been opened to you. Are you happy?"

"Good." The sergeant agreed neatly, with a loud voice as loud as a lion.

"These Dangxiang women are the wild and hard-to-trained war horses around you. We must wait for you to conquer. You must show the courage to fight on the battlefield and let these Dangxiang women surrender to you. From today on, these Dangxiang women are your wives. You iron-blooded men treat the enemy as cruel and ruthless as the autumn wind swept the fallen leaves. Treat your wives as warm as spring, so that they will willingly give birth to sons for you and weave clothes for you."

Speaking of this, the soldiers grinned.

"These women are all matchmakers by Hou Dayong. I am their mother's home. The judge has set a few rules for you. I agree that you must abide by it, otherwise you will serve the military law."

Zhao Pu was a little confused after hearing Hou Dayong's remarks. Zhao Pu had followed the Jiedushi Liu Ci, Prime Minister Fan Zhi, and Weizhou Governor Gu Chun. Even Gu Chun, a son of a noble family, would pretend to make a passionate speech in this situation. However, the content of what Hou Dayong said was really inappropriate. If the censors knew about it, they would not be laughed at and be guilty of being depressed by the enemy.

After the brief speech, an exciting women's election conference began. The conference was chaired by Zhao Pu, the secretary of Fengzhou, while Hou Dayong returned to the high platform with a smile.

According to the planning of Zhao Pu and Qian Xiangnan, 677 Dangxiang women were randomly divided into three groups: A, B and C. Before choosing Dangxiang women, each sergeant had to touch a wooden sign in the box. The three characters A, B and C were engraved on the wooden sign. When the sergeant touched the wooden block, he could only go to the corresponding group to select Dangxiang women. Doing so can speed up the selection speed and leave some decent women for the sergeant who ranked low as possible.

The three sergeants who came in the first round were two Black Eagle Army soldiers and one Independent Army soldiers. The garrison was extremely quiet, and everyone stretched their necks to wait to see the selection results of the first round.

Liu Heigou ranked first in the Heiyu army. He touched a wooden sign carved with the character "B". Under the leadership of a personal guard, Liu Heigou came to a large group of Dangxiang women. These Dangxiang women already knew their fate. They looked at the Zhou army soldier who was walking beside him with calm and sad eyes. Liu Heigou was originally looking for his wife with joy, but when he faced these Dangxiang women, the sadness in the eyes of the women shocked him slightly.
