Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 144 The Friends Are Shocked ([-])

It didn't take long before Wuyang Guard's troops returned one after another. Groups of bloody soldiers, carts full of trophies, and piles of dejected captives made Wuyang Guard's military households, craftsmen, and The merchants were amazed and excited: It seems that Wuyang Guard really wiped out the bandits in one battle, otherwise how could there be so many prisoners and spoils of war?The merchants who came from other places felt awe-inspiring, they didn't expect that there was such a fierce army in this small place, and they didn't know if it was a blessing or a curse!
Yang Menglong didn't care what other people thought, he brought Cheng Ji to the barracks, asked someone to bring the cartload of silver over, pointed to the box on the cart, and said, "The 6 taels of silver are all on it, and a dime is worth a dime." No less, you can count it, and I will deal with the prisoners."

Cheng Ji has not yet recovered from his sluggish state, especially after seeing the truckloads of seized weapons, the heads hung by the soldiers at their waists, and the more than 3000 captives, he became even more sluggish It's... Really wiped out more than 4000 bandits in one battle, without any moisture!My goodness, when did the military households in Daming's guard become so capable of fighting?If there are more guards like Wuyang Guard that can fight, what's the matter with building slaves?

Han Peng came over on horseback, wiped off his sweat, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, all the prisoners have been brought back, there are [-] of them, not one is missing."

Yang Menglong said: "Good job. Let those scumbags gather, sir, I'm going to lecture you!"

Han Peng said: "Okay!" He hesitated and asked: "Sir, do you want to throw them all into the mines for mining or to open up wasteland?"

Yang Menglong glanced at him sideways: "Then what good idea do you have?"

Han Peng said: "I feel that I can choose relatively sharp young men from among them to hone them and add them to the army!"

Wang Tiechui interjected: "For example, that Xu Meng, after training, he will become a fierce general. There are really not many people who can stop me with three swords."

Yang Menglong waved his hand and said: "Okay, you go and pick 500 people to make up our strength by [-]."

Qi Hu came over and just heard it clearly, and immediately said: "Remember, don't want those with evil intentions, don't like to play tricks, don't want those who are cowardly, and don't want to give up everything. It's better to be short than to abuse!"

Yang Menglong said: "Yes, these few rules must not be relaxed. It's not easy for the Wuyang Guard to have the current fighting power. I don't want a pinch of mouse droppings to spoil a pot of soup!"

Han Peng responded, turned around and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Yang Menglong again: "Don't worry, wait until I finish training."

Under the reprimand, punches and kicks from the officers and soldiers of Wuyang Guards, more than 3000 bandits gathered obediently in the school grounds, lined up in a messy line, and more than 3000 pairs of eyes turned around in horror, looking at everything around them.The barracks with rough layout and masculine spirit everywhere, silent and fierce soldiers, spears dense like reeds, strict order...all these are too strange to them, and they are so strange that they fear.Of course, what frightened them the most was the baby-faced man standing on the parade stand. It was this lunatic who led thousands of people to confront the four to 5000 of them head-on, and wiped them all out in one battle!
Yang Menglong also looked at this gang of bandits, seeing that most of them were ragged, skinny, and disheveled, he sighed inwardly.These bandits are really not doing well, they are all starved to death, but they are not worthy of sympathy, because they are just a group of locusts, unceremoniously transferring their pain to the common people, if they hadn't led the Wuyang bathroom bloody Fighting hard, I am afraid that within a few days, Wuyang County will let them slaughter it again!He narrowed his eyes and said, "I...how should I deal with you? You bastards, I didn't bother you, but you actually took over my territory. I really treat me as noodles, so I can knead as you please." Pinched?"

The bandits wailed: "My lord, spare me! The villain has no choice but to do this because the leaders forced us to do this!" More of them didn't even know how to beg for mercy, just stood there indifferently, waiting for the fate to come. trial.

Yang Menglong shouted angrily: "Shut up! Who yelled just now? Stand up for me!"

Suddenly the audience was silent.

Yang Menglong scolded angrily: "Manly man, dare to be brave, so what if you become a bandit? So what if you go down the mountain to rob? As long as you dare to be brave, I respect you as a good man! But you don't even have this responsibility, Rubbish, a bunch of rubbish! I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you rubbish, so listen to me!"

It was still silent.

Yang Menglong looked around the crowd, and said loudly, "All of you have committed a lot of crimes. If you fall into my hands, you will be considered unlucky! I will separate you and throw some of you into the mine for mining, and some of you into the farm. To open up wasteland and farm, you will have to do the hardest and most tiring work, no wages, only two meals a day, you have to eat, you must use your own sweat to wash away your sins!"

The bandits suddenly burst into an uproar!
Yang Menglong roared: "Shut up, listen to me! I will find out what bad things you have done, and determine the period of your hard labor according to the seriousness of the circumstances. If it is light, it will take a year and a half. If it is serious, you will serve three to five years." Years of hard labor, double the cost of escaping! Of course, if you perform well, your sentence can be commuted, and if you are willing to stay here after serving hard labor, I can give you a small piece of land for you to settle down, or let you continue to work as miners in the mine I guarantee your personal safety during your hard labor, as long as you don’t play tricks with me, you will all survive the hard labor in peace and become good citizens again!”

The bandits stopped arguing this time and looked at each other.Originally, they thought they were going to be doomed, to serve hard labor, given their current physical condition, they should be exhausted to death within a few months at most!But according to the tone of your lord, you can still have enough food to serve hard labor here, and your personal safety is also guaranteed. The best part is that they can survive for three to five years at most, and if they perform well, they don't even need three to five years. !This... This doesn't sound too bad, they don't care about wages or anything, and eating enough is more important than anything these days!Well, it seems to be more comfortable to serve hard labor here than to be a bandit, at least you can have enough food!

Yang Menglong went on to say: "I will also select [-] relatively honest young men from among you to add to my army! As long as you can complete the training, you will be formal soldiers. Of course, in the first year of your service, They only provide quilts, food, fodder and weapons, and there is no money to take them! This is also a punishment for you!"

Qi Hu, Xu Gong, Wang Tiechui and others all smiled wryly and shook their heads. This guy never leaves money in every word, and he is almost turning into a string of money!
The bandits yelled like a frying pan, shouting one after another: "My lord, I have practiced martial arts since I was a child. It is not a problem for one to be ten. Let's choose a villain!" Someone shouted again: "My lord, this villain has brute strength and can lift three It’s not a problem to weigh a hundred catties, so choose a villain!” You can say anything.The Wuyang Guard's excellent equipment, strong combat power, and high salary make the bandits envious. It must be very promising to join this army, at least it is much better than hard labor!
Yang Menglong snorted and said, "Why are you arguing! Do you think Lao Tzu's army is your latrine, and you can enter it if you want? Let me tell you, if 500 of you are elected, Amitabha! Also, this time Whoever commits a flower case or a murder case in the looting village, it is best to stand up to me voluntarily and consciously, so that the punishment can be mitigated! Don't take chances, you can't escape, I hate this kind of person a long time ago, I will deal with them one by one Let’s check and find you all!”

The bandits became even more chaotic. Some wailed, some patted their chests and said they were lucky, and some looked ashen... Fortunately, Yang Menglong put out the looting just after it started. There are not many people who have the chance to commit murder. As for the flower case, there are even fewer. Not everyone is qualified to touch a flower girl.Some guys shrank straight to the crowded place, and immediately got punched, kicked and cursed: "You son of a bitch, can you be a little more cowardly? There is no way to admit that there is a kind of murder and arson to sleep with women? Hurry up, don't get involved Lao Tzu!" Pushing and shoving, six or seventy people were pushed out.It's not that the bandits are all three good babies. Most of the murderers are the most desperate. They rushed to the forefront when they fought. This kind of thing has almost wiped out the Wuyang Guard when the two armies confronted each other. That's all.

Yang Menglong counted the heads and frowned: "That's all?" He waved his hand: "Cut it off!"

The dozens of thugs collapsed on the ground with their legs limp, feces and urine poured out, crying with tears and snot in their noses: "My lord, spare my life, my lord, spare my life, and the villain will never dare again!" Yang Menglong didn't even say much. To put it bluntly, more than 100 soldiers went up fiercely, and two of them dragged one of them to the front of the flag like dragging dead pigs. The officer gave an order, and sixty or seventy horizontal knives were unsheathed at the same time, and fell at the same time. The begging and crying stopped abruptly, and dozens of heads fell to the ground, bringing out a column of blood as thick as a teacup.

All the bandits present trembled, looking at Yang Menglong full of awe... This baby-face who looked easy to talk was clearly a evil star. Dozens of people chopped it off as soon as they said it, without even frowning!But yes, hundreds of people have been chopped off on the battlefield, do you care about killing dozens more?Whoever dares to cross their bottom line will definitely kill you without any discussion!
Yang Menglong was quite satisfied with the effect, and pointed to the headless dead body and warned: "Everyone is watching! Whoever dares to commit murders in my territory, they are your role models! Alright, that's all I have to say, Get off to eat, tomorrow I will give you a haircut, change into new clothes, then register and register, and start hard labor, let's dismiss it!"
