Chapter 234: Loud (Asking for Votes)

Luo Hong was scarred by Lu Tong in public, and he couldn't help but be annoyed and angry, and punched Lu Tong on the shoulder, who was beaten back a few steps on the spot, and almost fell into a fart.

"Grass, it's really good to play with Lao Tzu!" Lu Tong's face was swollen and red, and he didn't come and be rude, so he rushed forward and returned Luo Hong's old punch.

Germany's iron-blooded chancellor, Bismarck, famously said: Truth is only within the range of a cannon.

In other words, big fists are the last word. It's all the guys with the handle, since everyone has done it, what else is there to do, just do it if you don't accept it, the winner is king!

Lu Tong and Luo Hong fought each other back and forth, and at the beginning they talked about some rules, but in the end they simply got entangled and fought together, which was not much different from the battle between the Yuan and the concubine in Wuzhi County not long ago.

Lu Tong and Luo Hong's brothers began to scold each other, push and shove, and then punch and kick, so the heads-up turned into a group fight.

Those officials watched the excitement with their eyebrows fluttering, and shouted loudly. Fang Tianlu was slapped by Lu Tong just now, and at this time, his face was gloating, and he shouted with his hands: "Beat him, beat him to death, fight hard, fight to death!" ”

The two sides of the fight were still rational at first, and they just moved their fists and feet, but gradually they hit the real fire, and a big-headed soldier of the Qianhu Institute of Lead Mountain picked up a brick, and as a result, someone on the side of the Qianhu Office in Yiyang immediately saw blood.

This blood was terrible, both sides were ruthless, the fire gun was used as a hammer, and the waist knife was smashed with a sheath, and the screams were all over the place in an instant, and blood flowed.

Fang Tianlu was still gloating, but he couldn't help but panic when he saw this, if the situation continued, he would definitely die, and then he would not be able to get rid of it.

"Everyone, don't fight, you guys hurry up, stop them!" Fang Tianlu hurriedly ordered those officials to step forward to stop them, but no one dared to step forward, these big-headed soldiers were red-eyed, and they might be beaten as soon as they approached.

Bang......

With the sound of fire, hundreds of sergeants from the Shangrao Thousand Households ran over murderously and surrounded everyone present. Deputy Qianhu Qiu Man pulled out his waist knife and shouted: "Stop all, the general judgment is that the adults have orders, whoever dares to resist and kill!" ”

The two sides of the fight in the field stopped and retreated to the side, Luo Hong and Lu Tong got up from the ground in embarrassment, just in time to see Xu Jin coming this way surrounded by all the soldiers, they couldn't help but feel a pang in their hearts, and hurriedly retreated to the camp of the other side.

Xu Jin's face was as cold as water, and he strode into the middle of the entrance, Fang Tianlu trotted up and saluted, and said curtly: "The lower official has seen the general judge." ”

Xu Jin just nodded slightly, and his eyes swept over the gray-faced big-headed soldiers, several of whom still had blood on their faces, but at this time, they all lowered their heads tremblingly, and they didn't even dare to come out.

The deterrent power of Xu beheading is not covered, plus Xu Jin led by example during this period of time, personally supervising the battle in the city, and his prestige in the army is also increasing day by day, so as soon as he appeared, these big-headed soldiers were shocked, and it was not effective to change to others.

Xu Jin said coldly: "You are all very good at fighting, right?" Do you dare to go out of the city to fight with the thieves? What kind of ability is the nest! Are you fucking full? Who made the first move? Who leads the fight? Stand up for this officer! ”

Xu Jin said that in the end, his voice raised a few beats, and the anger on his face loomed, and he took a fire gun from the hand of a personal soldier, and released a fierce murderous aura from all over his body.

The heads of the big-headed soldiers who participated in the fight hung even lower, and they were silent one by one. Luo Hong's face turned pale, and his legs couldn't help but tremble slightly, but he had personally experienced the taste of being fingered by Xu Jinhuo, so he knew very well that this person was decisive in killing, and now more than two hundred rebel heads were still hanging on the head of the city.

Xiong Bai and Wang Yi stood behind Xu Jin, their scalps were also numb, and they wanted to say something to intercede for their brothers, but they didn't dare to speak. Yu Linsheng looked as usual, and the soldiers who participated in the fight were not his soldiers, so he was very calm.

The atmosphere was so depressing that it was as if a volcano was about to erupt, and everyone held their breath. A layer of cold sweat broke out on Fang Tianlu's forehead, and he secretly regretted in his heart, he knew that it would be like this, so it was better to give some food and send these big-headed soldiers away.

At this time, Lu Tong stood up stubbornly, and said with a stiff neck: "Lord Tongju, the fight led by his subordinates has nothing to do with other brothers, if you want to kill or chop you, come at me!" ”

Wang Duo couldn't help but secretly curse a fool, the general judge is angry now, what kind of hero are you kid, isn't this looking for death?

But after all, it was his brother under his hands, Wang Duo couldn't see death without help, so he rushed forward and kicked Lu Tong to the ground, scolding: "Bastard, your head is shit, the enemy outside the city is current, you actually brought your brothers here to make trouble, believe it or not, Lao Tzu cut you!" ”

Lu Tong got up and stiffened his neck and said loudly: "Boss, do you think your subordinates want to make trouble?" The brothers have not eaten for a day, and everyone is bleeding in the city, so why should we starve if others have food. The subordinates just came to the warehouse to ask for some rice grain, why can't it, the subordinates can't figure it out! ”

Lu Tong said that his eyes were red at the end, and the dignified seven-foot man actually shed tears, and choked up: "Lord Tongju, you have broken me, the brothers just want to have something to eat, it's none of their business!" ”

Behind Lu Tong, more than a dozen big-headed soldiers who participated in the fight were all red-eyed, knelt on the ground, and said loudly: "Lord Tongju, we instigated Lu Baihu to go to the warehouse to grab grain, and if you want to cut us, please spare Lu Baihu!" ”

Everyone present couldn't help but be moved, and the hundreds of sergeants in Shangrao Qianhu subconsciously lowered their waist swords, revealing sympathy.

Wang Duo said a little distractedly: "Let's ...... Running out of food? ”

Lu Baihu wiped his eyes with the back of his hand, shook his head and said, "I ran out of food last night!" ”

Wang Duo grabbed Lu Tong's shoulders and said loudly, "Why didn't you tell me earlier!" ”

Lu Tong said with a guilty face: "The boss has enough things to worry about, not to mention how can the boss come forward with a shy face and ask for someone, so his subordinates thought about solving it by themselves, but they didn't expect it to cause chaos for the boss." ”

Wang Duo's throat seemed to be blocked by something, and his eyes were red.

It is said that Yiyang Qianhu retreated in a hurry after being defeated by Wu Sanba, and the food he brought was not much, and he had eaten it all in the past few days. Moreover, in the past, it was the deputy thousand households who were responsible for managing the grain, and Wang Duo generally rarely asked, and after the deputy thousand households were killed, the task of managing the grain was handed over to the hundred households Lu Tong.

Last night, the officers and soldiers of Yiyang Qianhu ate all the remaining grain, so Lu Tong planned to borrow some grain from the county government warehouse today, but it turned out that he almost didn't kneel down and beg, and the little official in charge of the warehouse just refused to borrow it, so it caused a conflict.

The little official found the lord Bo Fang Tianlu, but instead of resolving the conflict, the "noble and cold" lord Bo notified Luo Hong of the Thousand Households of Lead Mountain, which finally led to the escalation of the conflict.

Wang Duo knelt down on one knee in front of Xu Jin, and said with red eyes: "Lord Tongju, it is his subordinates who have no way to discipline him, and all the punishments are borne by his subordinates. ”

The anger in Xu Jin's heart had been extinguished at this moment, and he stepped forward to help Wang Duo up, and said lightly: "Wang Qianhu, please get up, this matter will be handled fairly by the official to find out the ins and outs." ”

"Lord Xie Tongju!" Wang Duo thanked him and stood aside.

Xu Jin looked coldly at the lord Bo Fang Tianlu, who shivered smartly, and said aggrievedly: "Lord Tongju, this can't be blamed on the lower officials, most of the grain stored in the warehouse is from the Qianhu of the Lead Mountain, and part of it is the rations of the officials and the people, so naturally it cannot be distributed to the Yiyang Qianhu. ”

It is worth mentioning here that the Ming Dynasty implemented the Weisuo Tuntian system. The guards in various places are allocated land and enjoy tax exemptions, but they must be self-sufficient in terms of food, and the officers and soldiers of the guards plough the fields and cultivate the land in peacetime, and go into battle to kill the enemy in wartime, and the military rations must be brought by themselves, and the imperial court will not provide a grain of grain.

At this time, most of the grain in the county warehouse was indeed stored in the Qianhu of Lead Mountain, so it was not wrong for Fang Tianlu not to distribute it to the Qianhu in Yiyang, which was completely in line with the regulations.

Xu Jin frowned, the guard tuntian system has indeed reduced a lot of burden for the imperial court, but there are also many drawbacks, such as the current situation, can it not be possible to let the soldiers fight hungry? For example, when a large army is mobilized over long distances, the officers and men of the guards in various localities have to carry their own food, which not only seriously reduces the efficiency but also increases the burden on the officers and men of the guards.

Xu Jin said in a deep voice: "Master Fang is thin, rules are dead, and people are alive." Now that the enemy is present, the soldiers are bleeding desperately at the head of the city to protect everyone's safety, but they don't even have food to eat, isn't this chilling? ”

When Xu Jin said this, he pointed to Lu Tong and the others who were kneeling on the ground, and shouted: "Stare at your eyes and see clearly." A few days ago, hundreds of thieves attacked the head of the north city wall, and they fought to the death to repel the thieves, and they used their lives and blood to protect everyone's safety. They are all heroes! The hero shed blood for us, so let's make the hero cry!! ”

Xu Jin's words were loud, and there was a deathly silence.

Those officials bowed their heads in shame, but the officers and soldiers present were in a stirring mood and straightened their waists proudly.

Lu Tong and his dozen brothers couldn't help but raise their heads, their faces flushed with excitement, their emotions were surging, and their eyes looked respectfully at Xu Tong's judgment, who had made a generous statement.

Xu Jin's words undoubtedly aroused the resonance of all the officers and soldiers present. As the so-called scholars die for their confidants, at this moment, they are willing to go to the soup for the general judgment.

Wang Duo was no longer a young man who was enthusiastic after a few casual words, but at this time, he was extremely excited and secretly clenched his fists.

Mencius said: If you treat me as a countryman, you will repay me with a countryman.

The same is true of saints, let alone ordinary people. Who doesn't want to be respected and valued in the world?
