Chapter 18 Scream
Wrapped with heavy armor and wrought iron shield, Yang Feng was running wildly at full speed, like an armored vehicle, dragging a long sword and knocking out a man and a horse rolling up. In a blink of an eye, he was already facing the horse Hualong.
Ma Bingbei screamed and turned around...
However, behind him were infantry forming formations.
"Fire the gun and stop him!"
He screamed.
The soldiers opened fire in chaos.
Franchise shotguns and musket bullets made Mars splash on Yang Feng's shield, and even made him sway in the running, but he still couldn't stop him. He roared and walked forward bravely like a violent beast. The long sword in his hand drew out the snow beside him and blew away in the strong wind, as if he had a layer of wind and snow special effect.
"Go aside, you guys!"
Ma Bingbei screamed in horror.
Then he shook the whip and urged the soldiers who formed the formation to make way for him to get out of the way.
But this obviously doesn't work.
"Master Bingbei, you are running south in the formation!"
An officer reminded him very wisely.
Ma Bingbei suddenly woke up, and he hurriedly turned around and crossed the formation.
The soldiers who were preparing to shoot stopped quickly to prevent accidental injury.
Then Yang Feng arrived.
Just like when dealing with Commander Ni just now, Yang Feng, who raised his shield to protect almost all of his body, jumped in a wild rush. The already scarred wrought iron shield hit Ma Hualong like a shield wall of a chariot. The huge impact force made Ma Bingbei scream, and fell to the other side with his people and horses. The more unlucky one was suppressed by the fallen war horse. When he woke up, the knife in Yang Feng's hand was already pressed against his neck. Yang Feng, who was stepping on the war horse, looked at him from a high point, and the slightly deformed wrought iron shield still stood in front to block the gun opposite...
"Run quickly, the thief knows magic!"
"Run quickly, Master Bingbei has been arrested!"
...
Exaggerated screams rang out.
The two thousand four hundred sea defense battalions that were originally arranged ran away instantly. In a blink of an eye, Yang Feng and Ma Hualong, who was pointed at by him with a long sword, were left on the battlefield.
"Well?"
Yang Feng was also confused.
He stood there and maintained his domineering look!
Then the audience ran away.
Not only the battalion soldiers, but even the generals and servants ran away in chaos, as if they had finished their food and returned to the forest, leaving only a white and clean land...
"The brothers of the coastal defense camp are righteous!"
Hu Huaide, who arrived behind, looked at the soldiers of the coastal defense camp who were fleeing to the south bank and sighed. Some of the soldiers turned around and waved goodbye to them! Obviously, these guys were just waiting for a chance to escape. They were all acquaintances and knew that they could not defeat the Qi family army. What's more, the soldiers hated the most. If they didn't pay the salary, they even used massacres to suppress it. They wanted the Qi family army to make a big fuss this time, and it would be best if they were to frighten the officials. If they really scared all the officials, they wouldn't have to worry that such things would fall on themselves in the future.
This is not true, but it cannot be really a fight, and it is justified that it is the right thing to do if it is added to the fire.
"Ma Bing Bei, please!"
Yang Feng said to Ma Rulong under his feet.
"Down, the lower official's leg is broken!"
The latter said with tears in his eyes.
In this way, another new person was added to Yang Feng's cell. Just as the soldiers were carrying Ma Bingbei to meet with Fan Bingbei and others, Yang Feng walked to the bank of the canal and looked at the boatmen. Then he knocked on the shield in his hand again.
"What do you think of? Open the warehouse and release grain!"
He yelled.
The boatmen were instantly boiling and rushed to the warehouse like crazy...
Food release place.
"These brothers are all the southern army in Jizhen. They just returned from killing the enemy for the country. As a result, the military pay was greedy by the general. These brothers asked Wang Bao for military pay and were designed to kill them by Wang Bao. The bodies were the murdered brothers. Yang received the imperial edict of Emperor Gao of Taizu. According to the old Taizu system, he tied Wang Bao to Beijing. As a result, the military pay was made by Fan Dongmo and Wang Bao colluded with each other. He was afraid that Wang Bao would come to Beijing and took him out, so he framed these brothers for mutiny. He designed to kill us halfway.
We also caught it.
We were about to tie them up and send them to Beijing to beat Dengweng and report the imperial complaint.
Then I want to ask you, are there any of you who have any grievances and want to see the emperor together? Do you want to ask the emperor? Do you have any grievances to fall to the emperor?"
Yang Feng shouted with a trumpet.
The boatmen gathered in front of him who received food looked at each other.
"Don't say you don't have them. Who can come to be a boatman? Is there anyone who can't survive? The emperor is the master of the world and is in charge of the affairs of the world. Why don't you go to find him if you can't survive? Come over and tell me why you came to be a boatman?"
Yang Feng pointed at one and shouted.
The man stepped forward a few steps.
"If you go back to the general, the young Shandong native borrowed the usury loan from Liu Xiucai's family in his hometown. After the profit was over, ten taels of silver became fifty taels, and there was no money to pay off the debt. Liu Xiucai found the county government office and if he didn't pay it back, he would have to arrest the young man in prison. The young man had to give his land to him to pay off the debt, and the whole family came out to work as a boatman to make a living."
He said crying.
"The Taizu system, the maximum loan shark cannot exceed one principal and one profit. How can ten taels be changed to fifty taels?"
Yang Feng said.
"But the county government didn't say that!"
The man said in shock.
"It's clearly written here. Would you like to follow us and ask the emperor together?"
Yang Feng held up the great edict and said.
Zhu Yuanzhang had a clear system for usury, with each principal and one profit. No matter how many years he borrowed, the final interest must not exceed the principal.
"Ask, I'm going to ask the emperor!"
The man's eyes were glaring blood red, and he gritted his teeth and roared like a beast.
"You, why are you?"
Yang Feng pointed at another one.
"The little one, the little one is a fugitive slave. The owner is a local wealthy businessman. He caught fire at night and burned a warehouse of cloth. He was afraid of being beaten to death and had to escape."
The man said.
"How can merchants be qualified to be slaves? The Taizu system is not allowed to be slaves, and even if there is a single rank, it cannot exceed twelve family slaves. The merchants store slaves with the Taizu system, and let the slaves be released as good men. Do you want to see the emperor? Ask him, does your slave status count?"
Yang Feng said.
"Small willingness, small willingness!"
The man said.
"How do you become a boatman?"
"The youngest one is a tenant. He farms land, rent, land tax, silver, labor service, fire consumption, and donates money. He doesn't know how to eat all year round. When the year is not good, he can only escape from famine to get rich."
"Then you don't want to ask the emperor, he wants so many heavy taxes, so don't care about your life or death? Are you not the people of the Ming Dynasty? You pay taxes to support civil and military officials, and they are rich and well-off, but what are they doing when you need relief? If you all starve to death, who will support them?"
"Ask, just go and ask!"
"Go to see the emperor, go and let the emperor see my child who starved to death the day before yesterday!"
