The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 540
Chen Jiazhuang, with a simple and honest face, Chen Laocai, Chen Laocai, who was dressed in rough clothes and weathered like an ordinary farmer, and Chen Wannian looked at the group of strangely dressed soldiers in a daze and a little nervously.

"Chen Laocai, that's how things are. You just need to remember that we are the imperial court army, and we are here to help you suppress the bandits." The person in charge of the negotiation was a small captain of the investigation squadron.

Because there is discipline in the army, ordinary people are required to be treated kindly, and once they are found to bully the people at will, or take advantage of others, they will be dealt with by military law.

Although Jiang Chuan would not require the new army to freeze to death without demolishing houses like the Yue family army, he also stipulated strict disciplines in terms of the relationship between the army and the people.

After all, the mainstream thinking of people in this era is that a good man should not be a soldier.On the one hand, the treatment of soldiers is too bad, and they are generally bullied by superiors, and they often do not have enough food and clothing.Moreover, in the era of cold weapons, due to poor medical conditions, once injured, it is very likely to die.

In addition, the military discipline in ancient times was generally poor. Many so-called officers and soldiers do not know whether they can fight or not, but they are good at bullying the people. It is not uncommon to kill good people and pretend to be meritorious in the past dynasties. The bad deeds of the class.

Under the influence of these factors, if the people in ancient times had no other options, they would never take the initiative to serve as soldiers to eat food.

The government's application is another matter.

Now is the time for Jiang Chuan to win people's hearts. If he wants to continue to expand the new army in the future, the patients must be selected from the children of these ordinary people. Naturally, he must pay attention to the direction of military-civilian relations.

The most successful in this regard is naturally the people's army of later generations. It can be said that this style of work has been brought to the extreme. This is how the people's army has grown rapidly, won the three major battles, and established a new country.

Chen Laocai and Chen Wannian lived such an old age, but it was the first time they saw officers and soldiers who spoke so kindly, and they opened their mouths for a moment, not knowing what to say.

Some farmers and tenants of Chenjiazhuang secretly gathered in the distance to watch.

I have to say that the most handsome clothes for men must be uniforms, especially military uniforms.

Wearing a uniform new gray military uniform, wearing leggings, and wearing a big-brimmed hat, the soldiers of the new army are indeed very eye-catching, and the youthful and energetic appearance of the young soldiers is very attractive.

Even some bold girls and daughter-in-laws huddled together not far away and secretly looked at these soldiers.

The veterans of the Qin army were very calm, but the recruits recruited from the common people all had red faces and raised their chests higher. The veteran squad leaders who looked like that were all secretly amused.

"Master Jun, you mean that bandits will come to our village to rob us in three days?" Chen Laocai finally figured out the purpose of the group of officers and soldiers in front of him.

"Yes, that's it."

"But we, we..." Chen Laocai murmured for a long time, but didn't say anything.

The team leader in charge of negotiations looked at the simple-minded but flickering rich man in front of him, and held back his anger and said, "Just tell me if you have any questions. We are here to help you."

But Chen Laocai shook his head for a while, waved his hands for a while, but he didn't say anything.

But the lieutenant squadron leader who was watching coldly from the sidelines could see it.

"This old thing obviously doesn't want us to stay, but he dare not say so."

"Why is this? We are here to help them?" the guard asked with a puzzled expression.

"Simple. Look at the appearance of this old man. His ragged cotton jacket is covered with patches, and the toes of the mille-soled cloth shoes are all patched. He doesn't look like a rich man like that. What does this mean? It means this old man The goods are too stingy, and I can’t bear to eat and wear, I’m afraid we people will make him poor when we come.”

Lieutenant Captain Nunu said disdainfully.

The guard took a closer look at Chen Laocai, and he was indeed like this. He didn't look like a rich man at all, but more like a poor tenant.

The young guard was in a hurry, so he was about to go up and scold Chen Laocai. I worked so hard to protect you, but you are just counting your own food, which is really annoying.

However, the lieutenant stopped the guards, walked up to Chen Laocai and said, "Chen Wannian, I am the commander of this army. We got the information that the bandits will come to rob your village in three days. So we will protect you."

Chen Laocai looked at the more powerful officer in front of him, he didn't dare to speak for a while, but the expression on his face became more entangled.

Chen Laocai has always believed in being a low-key person and not revealing his wealth.And believe that if you don't cause trouble, things won't mess with you.

So although I saved a lot of family property in this life, I was frugal about myself, reluctant to eat and wear, and often went to work in the fields by myself.

He has been used to frugality all his life and cares about everything, so he got the nickname "Old Chen".

The reason why he was so entangled was that he was worried that these officers and soldiers would consume his own food.

And there is another reason, that is, he instinctively does not want to have anything to do with the government.Besides, the officers and soldiers in front of them looked really strange.

But if it was officers and soldiers who broke in directly without saying a word, Chen Laocai probably wouldn't dare to say anything more.But the officers and soldiers said it kindly, which made Chen Laocai think that maybe he could refuse them.

As for what the officers and soldiers said about the bandits coming, Chen Laocai was also dubious.

What he thought was that if these officers and soldiers really came to fight the bandits, they would go and fight them, why should they come to Chenjiazhuang.

But he didn't dare to refuse directly if it was an officer or soldier, so he was very entangled.

However, Chen Laocai was stunned by the next sentence of the officer with a stronger aura in front of him:
"Chen Wannian, if you have concerns, we can leave. However, three days later, your precious daughter will be the bandit's wife, and you will become the bandit's cheap old man. Then we will come again. But when the time comes, you will be us." The target of the eradication."

The lieutenant made a scare sentence on purpose. Seeing Chen Laocai's astonished expression, he secretly smiled inwardly. After speaking, he deliberately turned around and waved to signal the troops to assemble and prepare to leave.

"Master, please wait a moment." A woman's crisp voice suddenly came from behind the lieutenant.

The lieutenant turned around to look, but there was a young woman chasing after him, about twenty-eight years old, although she was dressed in commoner clothes, she was beautiful, small and exquisite.

Facing the slightly surprised eyes of the lieutenant, the young woman looked a little shy and nervous, but she still saluted the lieutenant generously and said, "Chen Jiaying, the civilian daughter, has met the military master. My father is old and confused, and he was rude to the military master just now. Girl, why don't you accompany Lord Jun."

After speaking, he saluted the lieutenant again.

The lieutenant came back to his senses and said: "Miss, you are polite. You must have heard what we just said. I wonder if you can believe it?"

"Naturally I believe it. With such a polite and friendly army in the world, coupled with your attire, it seems that there is only a new army organized by His Royal Highness the Regent. Moreover, banditry is rampant in this county. Even though the women of the people are just women, they know it Besides, a few days ago, a group of bandits sent people to my father and tried to ask for food, and they are very likely to come to revenge. Therefore, the daughter of the people believes that what the military master said is true."

Although Chen Jiaying was a little nervous at first, she became more and more relaxed as she spoke.

The lieutenant was a little surprised that there was such a beautiful and well-educated woman in a mountain village.

And this woman is the daughter of a guy like Chen Laocai, so it's against harmony no matter how you look at it.

Moreover, it is obvious that this Chen Jiaying is still educated and literate, which can be felt from his words.

It's no wonder that one-eyed man wants to call Chen Jiazhuang's attention, this little girl is indeed attractive.
