Chapter 112: Addiction
The camp of the Qing army in Jinhua, after dawn, Dekzik walked out of the tent and stretched. It's a new day, and this day may face a new bloody battle, and of course, it may also be a day when both sides are at peace.
Dekzik looked up at the sky, the sky was covered with red morning glow, and above the east, rolling dark clouds were drifting towards the sky above here. There is a saying that the morning glow does not go out, and the sunset travels thousands of miles. Looking at this posture, it will definitely rain heavily today. If it rains heavily, the Ming army, which is mainly armed with firearms, will definitely not attack. And when it rains, the Qing soldiers who rely on bows and arrows will not attack in the heavy rain, knowing that the bowstring will quickly break down when it meets the water.
While he was thinking about how he was going to spend the day, he heard someone in the barracks asking, "Are there any special offerings?" ”
"It's gone! Lao Tzu himself is not enough to smoke! How could it be for you? The other man replied.
"Please give me some, even a bite! I've been off for three days, and I can't hold it anymore! The first person to speak seemed to be begging.
"You ask someone else to borrow it, I don't have it here anyway!" The second person unceremoniously refused.
"Yintu, if they were willing to borrow it, I would have gone to find it a long time ago, but they wouldn't! We're from the same cow, won't you even help with that? The first man's tone became a little angry.
Dekzik walked in the direction of the sound, only to see two Manchurian soldiers arguing, listening to what they said before, it seems that one Manchurian soldier asked another Manchurian soldier to borrow the Eight Banners special offerings, but the other refused to borrow anything.
"What the hell is going on?" Dirkzik stepped forward and asked.
After some interrogation, Dekzik learned that when the first Man Eight Banners soldier left Nanchang and came to Zhejiang, he didn't have many Eight Banners special offerings. It may be a miscalculation, thinking that Jinhua will be reached soon, and the war will be over soon. However, I did not expect that the Qing army had a lot of heavy materials, heavy artillery, and a slow march, which delayed for a few days. The Ming army held out for a few more days, but the battle dragged on, and the special offerings of the Eight Banners soldiers were exhausted.
"Yintu, you are all recorded by the same cow, if you have it, give him a little." Dekzik Road.
The Eight Banners soldier named Yintu knew what it would be like to have no special offerings for the Eight Banners, and he had tasted that kind of taste before, when he was in the camp in Jiangbei, the first time he had finished drawing, and no one had borrowed it. But in the barracks, unlike in the city, there are smoke houses everywhere to smoke, and there is no place to buy silver. The caravan that provided the Eight Banners special offerings did not come every day, only once in ten days and half a month.
After the addiction to the special offerings came up, not to mention how uncomfortable the taste was, Yintu only felt uncomfortable all over his body, and the whole person was restless and drooling, anyway, it was very uncomfortable.
But that's still good, after half a year, when the second special offering is out and there is nowhere to buy it, it will be uncomfortable. At that time, the whole person was like a cramp, and it hurt everywhere all over my body, it hurt to the bones! Not only was it drooling, but even tears flowed out, and the whole person was about to collapse. It's so easy to wait for the caravan to come, buy a special offering and suck it up, and the feeling of flying through the clouds is so comfortable! After smoking, I slept well, and everything was fine.
Later, the addiction to sound pictures became bigger and bigger, and I had to smoke more and more every day. Now the special offerings he carries on him are enough to last for five or six days, and the devil knows when the caravan selling the special offerings will come. So he resolutely refused to borrow.
"My lord, it's not that the minions refuse to borrow, but that the minions themselves are not enough to smoke! And you see, it's going to rain again this day, and I don't know when it's going to rain this time. As soon as it rained, the caravan was also broken, I don't know when the next batch will come, the minions gave it to him, what did the minions smoke themselves? Yintu replied.
"You are all fellow villagers, you are the same as your brothers, why don't you want to borrow it?" Derkzik shook his head. However, he really can't interfere with this kind of soldier's private property.
The Eight Banners soldier who was looking for someone to borrow special offerings from the Eight Banners was named Dahab, and he begged his grandfather to tell his grandmother that no one lent him for a long time, and he ran into walls everywhere in the barracks, and finally had to return to his barracks in disappointment. But at this time, his addiction came in, and this was not the first time he had become addicted, it was already the fourth time.
The first few times, it was nothing more than uncomfortable, feeling sore in the muscles, anyway, it was an indescribable discomfort, even if it was lying on the bed, it was very uncomfortable, and the corners of the mouth unconsciously drooled. But the first few times I was uncomfortable, compared to today's discomfort, it was nothing, this time it was really uncomfortable, my body hurt, and it hurt into the bone marrow. In the end, he couldn't stand it anymore, rolled on the ground in pain, foamed at the mouth, and shouted in his mouth: "Give me a mouthful, please, give me a mouthful, just a mouthful......"
No one gave him a mouthful, nonsense, gave it to him, didn't he have less?
"Well deserved! Who made you prepare yourself not much! The Eight Banners soldiers on the side sneered.
The phenomenon of Dahab is only the tip of the iceberg in the camp of the Qing army, and there are already many addicts to special offerings for the soldiers of the Eight Banners and the Eight Banners, and they are suffering from painful torture. Some people who are not very addicted, although they are not as painful as Dahab, but they lie in bed and feel that their legs and feet are not at all, in short, it is very uncomfortable. Some people desperately pinched the muscles in their legs, which eased slightly, but after a while, they began to feel uncomfortable again.
"Special offering! We want special offerings! "Some of the addicted Eight Banners lost their minds and yelled.
"Bang la la" day like a leak of a basin of heavy rain, this heavy rain, so that the Ming army can not attack, but it is not a good thing for the Qing army, the road is muddy, the caravan will not come again, although Jinhua City is close at hand, but because of the heavy rain, it is not easy to send supplies in the city.
"Special offering! We want special offerings! One of the Eight Banners shouted.
"It's raining so hard that the caravan won't come for a few days." Someone said indifferently.
Suddenly, a soldier of the Eight Banners stood up and pointed to Jinhua City, which was more than ten miles away: "Isn't there a smoke house in the city?" Anyway, Minggou won't come up in the next two days! Let's go back to town! ”
"It's raining too much, and now it's raining on the way back?" One of the Eight Banners said.
"Get on your horse and go back, and you'll be back and forth soon." Someone said.
"Horseback riding?" A soldier of the Eight Banners shook his head helplessly, "The horses are all tied in the corridor, and it is against military regulations to lead the horses now, and if you are not afraid of being beaten, go and lead the horses." ”
"Can't you go back without a horse?" A veteran said.
"Let's go! Let's go back to town! A few soldiers of the Eight Banners who had relieved themselves a little rushed out of the camp, burrowed into the torrential rain, spread their legs and rushed towards Jinhua City, which was more than ten miles away. Although the rain was heavy, it did not affect their running speed at all.
The torrential rain was getting heavier and heavier, but none of this could stop the Eight Banners from returning to the city.
Not only the Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners, but even the Han Eight Banners, and even the Green Battalion soldiers, some people have begun to become addicted. Although the price of the Eight Banners special offerings is very high, many green battalion soldiers are so happy to see the Eight Banners masters, and some people can't help but try it. As a result, after trying it a few times, I fell in love with this kind of thing, and it has been out of control ever since.
The little salary of the green battalion soldiers has to be deducted by the superior officers, so where can they afford the special offerings of the Eight Banners? But these are not difficult for the green battalion soldiers, they try to get the silver. How do you get the money? Looking at the city gate and other fat shortages is not something that ordinary green battalion soldiers can do, you have to have a relationship to do it, but it doesn't matter, they are soldiers, they have knives in their hands, are they afraid that they won't be able to get silver? If you can't extort it, you can rob it and steal it.
But now it's in the barracks, even if you have silver, you can't buy it, and some "smart" green battalion soldiers have stolen the special offerings of the Eight Banners collected by their comrades. No matter how well those green battalion soldiers collected the special offerings of the Eight Banners, they could always be searched. Then ordering the Eight Flags special offerings is not enough to draw at all.
"The people of the Eight Banners are going back to the city, they must be going to get special offerings!" A green battalion soldier pondered in his heart.
Another Green Battalion soldier said, "We need to go back quickly!" Otherwise, we will be bought out by the Manchurian soldiers, and we will not have it! ”
A large number of green battalion soldiers also got into the heavy rain and rushed to Jinhua City in the torrential rain.
In the torrential rain, there were a few pairs of eyes staring at the Qing army camp in the dark.
"What are those Tartars doing?" It felt a little strange that a Ming soldier didn't collect it at night.
Although it was raining heavily and the two sides tacitly agreed to cease fighting, they couldn't violate military discipline like this and leave the barracks and run back to the city without authorization! In the event of a sneak attack by the opponent in the rain, don't those who leave the barracks without permission have to lose their heads? But these Ming soldiers don't accept it at night, they don't know at all, after the addiction to the Eight Banners special offerings comes up, how uncomfortable it is, don't talk about losing their heads, at this time, as long as they can let them take a sip, even if it is the matter of the Nine Clans, they dare to do it!
"You go back and report it, and we'll keep an eye on it here." The leader of the night does not close.
In Jinhua City, after all, this is just a government city, not as big as Wuchang and Guangzhou, and even cities like Nanchang and Changsha. In a small Fucheng, there are really not many Eight Banners Special Offering Smoke Houses, just three, these three can only be opened with a large backstage, and there is not much inventory, because Jinhua is not full of cities, and there are basically no flag people here.
The Eight Banners Special Offerings, as the name suggests, are mainly for the Banner people to enjoy, and the ordinary Han dog Nikan is logically not eligible to enjoy it. However, for some rich Han people, or Han people with meritorious reputation, and some Qiu Ba, they will secretly smoke it.
When the fierce Green Battalion returned to the city, they went straight to the Eight Banners Special Offering Tobacco House.
"A few military masters, I'm really embarrassed, they're all sold out, our shop is small, just a few flag men came, and they all bought them." The shopkeeper walked out and apologized to the green battalion soldiers.
"Ma's! Are you tired of living? If you know each other, hurry up and take it out for Lao Tzu! The Green Battalion soldier, who had just gone to the other two shops and touched the nails, had his neck thickened and roared with a hideous face.
The shopkeeper's face, which was still very polite just now, changed suddenly, he was not afraid at all, and spoke in a very tough tone: "I advise you to put the knife down!" If you can open a special offering store for Eight Banners, you Qiu Ba can't afford to offend! ”
"Less verbose! Take it out! Otherwise, Lao Tzu will cut you first! The bearded green battalion soldier at the head showed his fierce face, pulled out a knife and put it on the shopkeeper's neck.
The guy in the store has already gone to the yamen to report to the official, and this shopkeeper really doesn't have stock here, otherwise he wouldn't be reluctant to take it out and sell it. The hero didn't eat the loss in front of him, the shopkeeper's tone softened slightly, and he arched his hand: "A few military masters, please wait, the small ones will let people get the goods." ”
In fact, the shopkeeper used a strategy to delay the army, and after a while, the head of the government rushed over with a group of fast catchers, government officials, white servants and people.
"These soldiers escaped from the barracks without permission, entered the city to rob, and took it!" One of the officials in the lead yelled.
The two sides started to fight in table tennis, although those officials were not opponents, but the green battalion soldiers were few, and after killing a few white servants and people, these green battalion soldiers were all subdued.
Since those who can afford to open the Eight Banners Special Offering Tobacco House are all people who have a way to support the mountain, don't underestimate the smoke house opened in Jinhua, the backer behind it can always involve the flag people in the capital, or even a certain Beizi Baylor. The little green battalion soldier dared to rob the smoke house, this is too bold. Leaving the barracks without permission is already a violation of military regulations, and robbing the Eight Banners special supply store, even if the gods come, they can't save these green battalion soldiers.
"Leaving the barracks? Robbing a special supply store? It's worth it! Lord Admiral Yu Yongshou shouted, "Push out these rebels and behead them!" ”
Yu Yongshou knew very well in his heart that the Eight Banners special offering stores in every place were actually chain industries, which could always involve the capital, and the owners of those special offering stores had great powers, and some of the bosses were even the coated minions of a certain banner person. What's the point of killing a few Green Battalion soldiers? If you offend the flag man, that's not good.
"My lord! Keep people under the knife! "The king [auxiliary] came in a hurry.
Most of the robbing soldiers were the soldiers of the king's [auxiliary] ministers, so he was naturally anxious.
"It is an unforgivable sin for them to leave the barracks without permission, and it is not a capital crime to rob the people?" Yu Yongshou turned his head angrily and turned his back to Wang [Fu] Chen.
Although the face of the king [auxiliary] minister was not small, but those green battalion soldiers killed the people of the yamen, and as a result, their heads were cut off.
The camp of the Ming army, this continuous heavy rain not only gave the Qing army a headache, but Wang Xinyu also felt a headache. It rained so heavily that firearms could not be used, and the Ming army could not take the initiative to attack, so they could only hide in the camp. However, the rain was heavy, and the Qing army did not dare to attack, because the Ming army could hide in the tent and use firearms, and the Qing army's bow and arrow firearms in the field could not be used. What's more, with such heavy rain, the hot air balloon could not be lifted into the air, so the traditional probe horse could only be used to spy on the Qing army.
At this moment, a horse scouting who was monitoring the Qing army from outside reported: "Lord Qiyu, something is wrong with the Tartar barracks!" ”
Not long after, the agents of the Heaven and Earth Society also came to report: "There was an accident in Jinhua City, and several green battalion soldiers returned to the city to rob the Eight Banners special supply store, and fought with the officials, killing and injuring many people. ”
Through comprehensive intelligence analysis, Wang Xinyu guessed that some intelligence was addicted. Once that thing is addicted, I don't care about losing my head at all. (To be continued.) )
