Chapter 138: Keeping the Word
(I'm afraid this chapter will be controversial, let's take a look!) I think so! Now that it's been said, it's better to keep your word! If you have an objection, you can leave a message, but don't scold me! )
Standing in the cellar of the Li family, Xiao Tianjian couldn't help but open his mouth wide, the cellar was full of piles of silver cakes, some of which had turned black because of the long storage time, indicating that the Li family's fortune was not a matter of the past few years.
Just counting the silver stored here, it is enough to have sixty or seventy thousand taels, as well as thousands of taels of gold, and countless copper coins, which shows how much money the Li family has stripped for generations, so that some of the ropes that wear copper coins have rotted, and the big lumps of copper coins have corroded together.
In addition to the money, there is also the Li family's grain depot was opened, it was full of all kinds of grain, some of the grain has even been moldy and insectatable, the Li family would rather rot in the granary, than take it out to help the displaced people, after counting, these grains are enough to reach thousands of stones, enough for more than 10,000 people to eat for a few months, so much food, let everyone be amazed, Xiao Tianjian looked at these grains and couldn't help but be a little worried, he used to worry about the problem of food every day, for fear of a little slack, There will be a situation of running out of food, he is really hungry, but now when so much food is placed in front of him at once, he begins to worry again, so much food, if you want to transport it away, a cart full of thirty stones of grain, if all of them are transported away, thousands of stones of grain will need hundreds of carts, so many carts, he has nowhere to go, let alone where to find so many people! If you can't get rid of it, the gods and horses are all floating clouds, and you can only stare at it here!
Originally, Xiao Tianjian didn't want to let Li Fengtian, an old thing, die too comfortably, but when Li Wangjin was beaten to death at the back door, this old thing knew that he must not be able to die a good death, so he actually hit his head against the wall and knocked himself to death, so that Xiao Tianjian didn't even have a chance to settle accounts with him, and the angry Xiao Tianjian directly ordered Li Fengtian's body to be hung on the top of the village gate, so that people could whip the corpse, and finally chopped it into minced meat and threw it to the vicious dog in the Zhuangzi as dog food, which made the Xingtianjun relieve his hatred.
Because Xiao Tianjian had an appointment in advance, so that the generals could indulge in a day after attacking Zhuangzi, as for what they wanted to do, they could do whatever they wanted, Xiao Tianjian did not break his promise, and after sending people to supervise the granary and treasury, the rest of the things would no longer restrain his subordinates.
Of course, he didn't let his men go down to plague the tenants in the Zhuangzi, in the tenant gathering area of Lijiazhuang, he set up guards, and did not allow his soldiers to go to the area where these tenants lived to plague these people, of course, for those who resisted for the bounty on the village wall, he would not let go, after the Xingtian Army controlled Lijiazhuang, he immediately arrested these Zhuang Ding Xiangyong who had killed and injured the Xingtian Army through interrogation, and without saying a word, he cut off their heads and hung them up outside the Zhuang Gate. As for Zhuang Ding Xiangyong, who did not have the blood of the soldiers of the Heavenly Army on his hands, he did not pursue them excessively, and directly drove them back to their respective homes to stay honestly.
And in order to avoid unnecessary chaos, after the Xingtian Army conquered Lijiazhuang, they did not let too many displaced people enter the village, but let them stay outside the village, and selected some displaced people to enter the village and carry out a batch of grain for these displaced people to eat.
And Xiao Tianjian also kept his promise, all the homeless people who helped the Xingtianjun this time, everyone cashed in to them once fine grain, and everyone also rewarded them with a few hundred copper coins, but this group of homeless people was very happy, a large group of homeless people knelt outside Lijiazhuang Village, and kept kowtowing to Xingtianjun to thank them.
A day is not a long time, but you can do a lot of things, although Xiao Tianjian let these soldiers indulge, but it does not mean that they can loot wantonly, the rules of the Xingtian Army are to seize and confiscate, no one is allowed to take private possession, this point must still be adhered to, for this reason some recruits who have not been in the army can withstand the temptation, when confiscating the property of the Li family, some unpleasant things happened, some people in order to snatch some property, they are fighting, and a few guys sneaked into the tenant's home, Trying to harm women, Xiao Tianjian was not merciful about this, and directly pulled out a few troublemakers, confiscated their private property, executed the military law of these most evil people, cut off their heads, and the rest of the servants also used their canes and sticks to find a place to lock them up.
Listening to the cries and begging for mercy of some women in the courtyard, Xiao Tianjian hardened his heart and didn't ask about these things, after all, his subordinates hated the people of the Li family very much, this attack on Li Jiazhuang was different from the last attack on Fan Jiabao, after all, the Fan family had no grudge against them, so for the women of the Fan family, Xiao Tianjian opened the net and did not allow his subordinates to harm them, but for the Li family, it was different, the Xingtian Army had nearly one or two hundred lives before and after the hatred on their Li family, Therefore, if he is still a woman's benevolence, I am afraid that it will cause a psychological backlash among his subordinates, and this world has the rules of this world, and he cannot restrain himself and his subordinates with the moral standards of the next life.
So although he can't get used to the adultery and adultery of his hands, he still fulfills the contract and indulges his subordinates for the next day, so that they can vent, after all, there are hundreds of guys who are vigorous and bloody, and most of Xiao Tianjian's recruits are singles, so that these guys hold back for a long time God knows what will happen in the future, anyway, the Li family and their Xingtianjun are already considered a blood feud, Xiao Tianjian is not pedantic enough to pity these women of the Li family.
Not to mention this era, even in the era of civilization in later generations, war and rape will always be linked together, if he goes to the Xingtian Army now and promotes any feminism, it is estimated that even if he thinks with his ass, it will not work at all.
Xiao Tianjian didn't think about it as much as possible, but just ordered these people to restrain themselves a little, not to go too far, and save them from harming these women of the Li family, and then going to harm the women of the tenants of the Li family.
Sitting in a clean hall, Xiao Tianjian listened to the various sounds coming from the Zhuangzi, Xiao Tianjian suddenly had a trance, and he suddenly thought of a question, what is he going to do in this world? Is he just trying to survive? Now that he has nearly a thousand troops in his hands, it can be said that he has the foundation to gain a foothold, but what next? Do you want to go on like this, live like this by plundering everywhere?
Where does he go from here? Xiao Tianjian suddenly had a kind of confusion, Shaanxi is now dilapidated, and it is also a place where officials and soldiers gather, it is definitely not a long-term solution to gain a foothold here, not to mention that he only has such a strength that is not enough for a thousand people at the moment, even if his strength is stronger, can he run rampant here?
Now the Ming Dynasty really has no time to pay attention to such an emerging force as him, but this does not mean that he will not become an enemy valued by the officials and the army in the future.
With his current strength, he is still self-aware, although Chen Qiyu is temporarily the governor of the five provinces, but for those who have crossed over from the future, of course he knows that Chen Qiyu can't be for long, and Chen Qiyu has made a stinky move, making him fall short and even ruined, and it is the famous Hong Chengchou who will replace him in the future.
What kind of person is Hong Chengchou, it can be said that even if the people of later generations have not studied history much, let alone whether this person's actions are traitors or not, but most people also know how powerful this person is, Xiao Tianjian really has no confidence, and feels that he can now confront such a historical fierce man.
The strength of the rebel armies in history is strong enough! But what? Isn't it still the chicken and dog that was chased by Hong Chengchou, and was beaten all over the ground looking for teeth? Even a fierce man like Li Zicheng was almost killed by him in his hands?
So to speak, although Xiao Tianjian's strength has developed rapidly, he is not arrogant to the extent of getting carried away, and at present, with his strength, I am afraid that he will pull out a righteous army all the way in the world, which is much stronger than him, so he doesn't think that he can sit back and sweep the world without worry.
Although the subordinates of the Xingtian Army can be regarded as elite in the local pole, after all, they have not been in the army for a long time, and they have not experienced too many battles at all, and they still have a long way to go in the future if they want to become an invincible and strong army.
Will he be able to lead these brothers to break through in such troubled times? Xiao Tianjian sat alone in the hall, silently thinking about this question.
"Big brother, the meal is ready, should I call you one?" Just as Xiao Tianjian was thinking about these questions, Tietou appeared at the door of the hall and asked Xiao Tianjian.
Xiao Tianjian's train of thought was interrupted immediately, so he put away these cranky thoughts in his mind, shook his head and said, "That's it!" I'm not going to specialize, I'll go on my own! What about Yan Chongxi's gang? Have the sentry posts been arranged? ”
"Back to the plate, today is Zhao Erdonkey on duty, and he is responsible for the arrangements for the sentry post, so I'll go and take a look!" Iron Head quickly replied.
Xingtianjun will arrange a rotating officer to be responsible for the station's duty every day, today it is Zhao Erdonkey's turn to be in charge of this matter, although Zhao Erdonkey was slightly injured when attacking Lijiazhuang in the morning, but after Lu Rongxuan's disposal, Zhao Erdonkey is not a big problem, so he is still responsible for the rotation of the matter, Xiao Tianjian led the army into Zhuangzi, and then explained this matter, but just now he was thinking about the question of going to stay in the future, so he actually forgot about this matter for a while.
"No need! Come with me! Although Lijiazhuang has been won, we should not take it lightly, I will go to check the post in person! Xiao Tianjian caressed the table and stood up, reached out and took a new waist knife handed over to him by Tietou and hung it on his waist, during the day, his knife had been broken when he fought with Li Wangjin, so after cleaning up the battlefield, Tietou found a waist knife with a good texture for Xiao Tianjian from the captured weapons and sent it over.
Xiao Tianjian didn't bring other guards, only took Tietou alone, and then went out of this temporary rest house, and walked to the street of Lijiazhuang, this area is the residential area where the Li family lives, and it is impossible for tenants to live here, from all over the house, the crying of women is constantly heard, so that Xiao Tianjian is a little upset, and the order is relatively chaotic, some soldiers with a narrow smile from time to time in and out of the house, the ugliness of human nature is vividly expressed at this moment, Fortunately, these guys were not completely carried away, and as soon as they saw Xiao Tianjian, they hurriedly leaned against the wall to make way, and automatically straightened up and saluted Xiao Tianjian's chest.
Xiao Tianjian didn't bother to scold them, anyway, he was angry and didn't choose what he said, so he couldn't lick back the spit he spit out now! What's more, after today, God knows how long these guys will live with him, so it's not necessarily bad to let them indulge a little.
