The area of the stockade was very large, and after the cavalrymen who came back from the back mountain also joined, it was even more crowded and lively. They were all a group of rough men who had no scruples about what they said, so some people laughed at Ling Qingyu loudly.
"Sister! Have you found someone?" A man just shouted, but was slapped down by the captain next to him, and after the man passed by, Fang said: "This is General Yang's wife, your life is too long, don't you think? "
"Isn't Master Ling?" another big man asked.
"Master Ling's family is General Yang's daughter-in-law. The salary we get for food, clothing and housing is all paid by Master Ling's family. He is so stupid, why does he raise you idiots for nothing?" the captain laughed.
"Then who do we belong to now?" asked a young soldier.
"Aren't they all the same? General Yang and Master Ling belong to the same family. According to me, we are members of the Ling family." A man wiping a knife in his hand said. People like them who trade their lives for money don't have so much reason to talk about. Whoever gives food and money can follow whoever has the ability. General Yang has the ability, and the Ling family will give money.
"Anyway, I listen to Boss Meng. We will do what he says." The man who spoke has been following Meng Su, and has been rescued by Meng Su several times, so he only recognizes one dead truth in his heart.
"So do we, what did General Yang and General Meng say we should do." These men had been stationed at Heishuiguan for some time, and when Yang Zhao was away, the new general didn't treat them as human beings at all. I only know that they want them to pile up people, but he hides behind. After Yang Zhao came back, his generals took the lead every time he charged in battle. Soldiers should follow reliable generals. Desperate.
"Two sons, two sons." A big man ran over while calling the captain's name, and the captain hurriedly stood up and replied.
"Let me tell you." The big man rushed into the group of them, and said excitedly: "I just delivered food to General Meng and Na Ling's family, do you know what they are talking about?"
"what?"
"The head of the Ling family asked if we have a reward and punishment policy. General Meng said yes. General Yang had formulated it before, but the court did not approve or pay. Then the head of the Ling family said, since it is now the Ling family's army, then these Naturally, the Ling family is required to come out, and General Meng is required to come up with a system of rewards and punishments. As long as the rewards and punishments are reached, they will not be less. , Said that this is our hard-earned money, and it must be given enough."
"General Yang has a good eye." After a moment of silence, a big man said.
"Hey," Ling Qingyu sighed, and saw that everyone at the table was looking at her, and said, "To be honest, I never thought that one day I would discuss with people how much the reward is for killing one person. Whether it is education or self-awareness, human life is priceless and all living beings are equal." After a pause, he continued: "But I don't regret this change. Although life is equally important, it is important to me. He said, the lives of our own people are of course much more valuable. Meng Su, after you have decided on rewards and punishments, ask Han Bian for money!"
"Actually, it doesn't matter how much we pay ourselves. Usually there will be spoils of war." Meng Su laughed. Especially now that they are not primarily fighting each other's armies, but semi-predatory battles.
"If it's against civilians, then don't be too violent. When fighting against the army, the rewards can be increased. Women and children, don't reward them." Ling Qingyu couldn't help but said.
"I know." Meng Su nodded. Yang Zhao's army has always been strictly disciplined, and those things such as burning, killing and looting are not allowed.
"If the court doesn't give you the reward from Ruozhao, let's go out together." After a moment of silence, Ling Qingyu said to Han Bian.
Han Bian nodded, asking these soldiers to swear allegiance to the death, not only to be intimate with them, rewards are essential. The imperial court has repeatedly suppressed Yang Zhao's ability to lead the soldiers like this. It can only be said that he is very brave, and these soldiers sincerely admire him, so he is willing to swear allegiance to the death. But this is not a long-term solution after all.
"Well, if this is the case, we have to think about it, how did you get the money out of those guys!" Ling Qingyu knocked on the table and said, "Let's go to the discussion hall tomorrow."
"Don't worry, don't worry, our goods should arrive in these two days, we will go together later." Han Bian laughed.
Yinzhou Dispute is the largest dispute between Dazhou and Dangxiang, under the direct jurisdiction of General Sun.
To enter the negotiating field, you must have special documents, and you are not allowed to stay without incident, so a small market town has formed outside the negotiating field to serve the merchants.
After the goods sent here arrived, most of them were put in the cottage first, and Ling Qingyu and the others only brought a small part to the market.
It is said that it is a small part, but it is quite a large amount. Meng Su brought 500 people as guards and escorted them.
When he arrived at the market town, Han Bian went to General Sun's men to open the document, and by the way, Ling Qingyu and Yan Sanmengsu sat at the stall in the market town and waited for Du Ming.
When Ling Qingyu was born, he traveled to Ningxia with his parents. I remember that the tour guide said about Li Yuanhao’s great achievements. Not only did he make great achievements in military force, but he was also forward-looking in economic development. However, the relationship in the backyard was too chaotic. Many coups in Xixia came from harem.
"If Huangshui and Hetao Plain can be taken down, it will not be difficult to take down Dangxiang." Ling Qingyu said something unconsciously as he was thinking about something in his head.
"Li Yuancheng is very cunning. If we want to confront him directly, I'm afraid our military strength is not enough." Meng Su changed her to hot tea and said. In the past two days, Ling Qingyu liked to ask him to take her to a horse race. When she was tired from running, she would find a place to sit down casually, and the two would chat about what would happen if they fought against Dang Xiang, and about the previous few times when they fought against each other. The battle of the party, the war in this world is completely different from what Ling Qingyu knows, but there are similarities in the bravery of the soldiers of the party and the weirdness of using soldiers.
"However, the chaos in the harem is still the same." Ling Qingyu said with a smile. The great defeat of the Northern Song Dynasty was largely due to the fact that the literati led the army. The current territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty is much more advanced than that of the Northern Song Dynasty. A real general. It's just that the military layout of the Great Zhou was very strange. The large-scale army still faced the Liao Kingdom, and the total number of Dangxiang here was only 100,000, so it never recovered the Xia Kingdom.
Regarding the military affairs, Ling Qingyu could only talk about some records he knew, and he didn't understand them at all. He basically heard what Meng Su said. Ling Qingyu... I don't understand.
"There are many nobles in the party, and there are many conflicts among the big clans. In order to balance the power, it is the best way for each big clan to marry a daughter into the palace." Meng Su laughed.
"It's no wonder it's not chaotic." Ling Qingyu shook his head and smiled.
"The head of the house." A voice from afar called out.
Ling Qingyu turned his head to look, and saw a group of cavalry galloping from outside the market town, the leader had already run into the market town, and the horse rider was slender and very delicate, it was Du Ming.
Ling Qingyu smiled and raised his hand to say hello.
Before she put her hand down, a little girl sitting on the table next to her stood up with a snap, then rushed to Ling Qingyu and raised her hand.
"Ah! Pain, pain, pain!" Yan San grabbed her hand and twisted it behind her before she dropped it. The pain in her wrist seemed to be broken.
"This is? What's the situation?" Ling Qingyu was a little stunned, looking at the girl in front of her whose murder was unknown.
"Hu Cuifeng! Are you crazy?" Meng Su said angrily.
"I knew Brother Du was tricked by a vixen! Let go!" Hu Cuifeng shouted, Yan Sanyi exerted force, and she screamed again in pain.
Du Ming dismounted leisurely, threw the reins to his men behind him, walked into the stall, sat down, and poured himself a cup of tea.
Seeing that he didn't seem to see her, Hu Cuifeng's face, which hadn't changed color after being almost crushed by Yan San, burst into tears of grievance.
"Are you on a good date?" Ling Qingyu asked Du Ming, and then said to Yan San: "Let her go."
Yan San threw her down and sat back beside Ling Qingyu.
After Hu Cuifeng was thrown out, she came back from the ground again, sat on the empty seat next to Du Ming by the table, bowed her head and called out: "Brother Du."
Du Ming didn't give any response, but said to Ling Qingyu: "It's finished today, go to my place to have a look?"
"Okay." Ling Qingyu smiled, then glanced at Hu Cuifeng, and asked, "Are you on a good date?"
"No, I don't know you." Du Ming said lightly. If you don't answer, I'm afraid she will keep asking.
Hu Cuifeng's eye circles turned red immediately, tears dripped like money, and he said in a low voice, "Why don't you know me, you've seen my whole body."
puff!
"This is your fault," Ling Qingyu said with a smile to Du Ming: "A man must take responsibility."
Du Ming's face darkened, and he asked, "If you have seen your body, you will be held accountable?"
Hu Cuifeng nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, Ling Qingyu was stunned for a moment, this is not easy to answer, seeing Hu Cuifeng's eyes looking over to ask for help, he felt depressed again, you wanted to slap me just now, now you want my help
Before she could answer, Du Ming had already said: "Then how much responsibility do you have to take as the head of the family?"
"I knew you were not a good person! Tell me, when did you seduce Brother Du!" Hu Cuifeng slapped the table and became angry.
"I seduce him?" Ling Qingyu was stunned. What kind of development is this
"You think Brother Du is that kind of casual man!" Pointing at Meng Su and Yan San, Hu Cuifeng said, "It's useless even if you use all the tricks of your charming son, Brother Du will only Marry me!"
"Ahem," Ling Qingyu pressed Yan San's hand under the table, and said, "I see, you like Du Ming, and there was an incident between you and him where you saw the body, but girl, your accusations are all It's meaningless, but your elder brother Du has a deed in my hands. In terms of personal relationship, he belongs to me. If he wants to get married, I don't nod. You really can't marry him. So, you are Didn't you consider changing your attitude to please me?"
Meng Su suppressed a smile and looked at Du Ming whose leisurely face was cracked.
"What do you mean?" Hu Cuifeng thought for a few minutes before sitting down and asking.
"Don't say good things twice." Ling Qingyu said very proudly.
"I'm flattering you, so you can let Brother Du marry me?" Hu Cuifeng moved closer, saw Yan San's expression and retreated, and asked.
"That's not true. Whether or not to marry you is Du Ming's business, but even if he wants to marry you, if I don't like you, I can veto his proposal, understand? I have a veto right." Ling Qingyu said with a smile .
Hu Cuifeng turned her head and asked Du Ming, "Is this true?"
"Really." Du Ming nodded seriously.
"Well, how can I please you?" Hu Cuifeng asked Ling Qingyu.
"I haven't thought about it yet, and I'll tell you when I think it over, but I don't flatter you that you're going to slap someone as soon as you come up." Ling Qingyu laughed.
"Isn't it because Brother Du ignored me these days, I thought he must have a woman outside, and you called him so affectionately just now, so it must be you?" Hu Cuifeng lowered her head and said.
"In order to defend my love, I can understand your behavior, but I want to ask, are you and Du Ming in love?" Ling Qingyu moved her head forward slightly.
"I like Brother Du! I will only marry him in this life! I can do it in my next life, and I will do it in the next life!" Hu Cuifeng said excitedly.
"Then, do you think Du Ming likes you?" Ling Qingyu asked after glancing at Du Ming.
"Brother Du rescued me from falling into the river. If he didn't like me, why did he save me? He even baked my clothes?" Hu Cuifeng said.
"Understood, there is no repayment for saving your life, you can only promise it with your body." Ling Qingyu said clearly.
"That's right!" Hu Cuifeng nodded hurriedly.
"Master, we got the documents, let's go." Han Bian stepped into the stall, then glanced at Du Ming and Hu Cuifeng who was sitting beside him, and asked casually, "Your wife?"
Du Ming's face darkened, he got up straight away, took two steps, and asked Ling Qingyu, "Will the boss go in?"
Hu Cuifeng couldn't get in without paperwork, so she could only stand at the gate and watch pitifully.
After walking away, Ling Qingyu couldn't help asking: "The girl is quite cute, and she is infatuated with you."
"Do you know what I regret the most?" Du Ming asked, without waiting for her to speak, he added: "That day I jumped into the river!"
"Hehe, buddy, I told you earlier that such a thing as a hero saving the beauty will cause endless troubles." Meng Su patted his shoulder and smiled.
Ling Qingyu also smiled, but didn't say any more. One of the most important things in love between a man and a woman is the gratification of the two. If it's just a hot head, it can't get along anyway. Although Hu Cuifeng looks affectionate, but chasing each other like this People don't like to mess around, not to mention that everyone has their own preferences. If there is someone in love with these friends, it's okay for her to push her up. It seems that she is obviously unwilling, and she doesn't need to go to many things. Then he smiled and forgot about it.
