Chapter 1133 Four old men

Chen Xiuchang walked over with a gloomy face. When facing the inquiries of his soldiers, he nodded and replied: "It should be no mistake. The dog official's commander could not speak in this matter. I think those pirates must have muskets in their hands."

After saying that, Chen Xiuchang looked around.

"How is it? It's like this now. What do you think about it?"

"Sir, what do you mean?"

Originally, Chen Xiuchang was talking about what everyone meant, but now everyone kicked this question back.

However, Chen Xiuchang was already calculating, so he said to his soldiers: "We have already taken the money, and it's a waste of 1,000 taels. I think this is not wrong. Then it's natural to have to do things after collecting money. If we don't do things after taking money, will we still have a way out in the future? I think everyone knows this truth."

Everyone fell silent and thought about these words seriously.

"You guys can't let me return all the money, right?"

"It cannot be refunded, that money is enough to allow me and my family to have a fat year."

As soon as Chen Xiuchang finished speaking, a soldier responded.

This sentence completely ignited everyone's emotions.

"Yes, when you go back, everyone can get a lot of money. Originally, everyone was almost dying of poverty, but now with the money, the family can live a better life, so they can't pay it back."

Everyone said everything, and basically didn't agree to return the money they had already obtained.

Chen Xiuchang raised his hand and told everyone not to speak anymore.

"Everyone doesn't want to pay back the money, okay! But we have to deal with the pirates in the tavern. As long as they solve the money, they don't have to pay back it back." Chen Xiuchang finished speaking, and continued without waiting for everyone to speak. "But everyone should also know clearly that the pirates in the tavern have muskets on their hands. If they fight later, they might be injured or lost their lives. However, I, Chen Xiuchang, can make a guarantee to the brothers here."

At this time, everyone looked at Chen Xiuchang attentively, waiting for his next words.

"I promise that if there are really injured brothers, I will take out part of the money to make the settlement fee. If a brother unfortunately loses his life, I will also give the family a deposit of the settlement fee!"

"Done!"

"That's right, the brothers have done this sentence with the Hundred Houses!"

The soldiers never thought that the hundred-householders had made such a guarantee.

You know, these poor military households can no longer make a fuss. The Chinese New Year is coming, but there is no money at home to prepare.

Now that they have a chance to get rich, how could they let it go?

Unlike those yamen runners, these military households are not lacking in courage and dare to fight to the death.

Of course, first of all, there must be a reason why they are worth fighting for.

Now, there is a reason.

As long as those pirates are solved, they can return to the ward to share the money.

After they get the money, they can go home and start buying New Year's goods, and then take their families to have a comfortable New Year.

"Since everyone says that, then we'll decide."

Chen Xiuchang was not long-winded and immediately made the decision.

One thousand taels of silver is not a small amount, but Chen Xiuchang can even pay one hundred taels of silver.

The remaining nine hundred taels are used to share with everyone, and I think everyone will not say that he is unscrupulous.

In fact, Chen Xiuchang's assignment is really considered a conscientious household in many garage stations.

This is him, Chen Xiuchang. If he were a hundred households in other places, he could embezzle at least nine hundred taels of silver by himself, and the remaining one hundred taels of silver would be distributed to his subordinates.

At the same time, when encountering danger, those hundreds of households will not be as concerned as Chen Xiuchang.

The status of military households is low, and in the eyes of officials from all households, they are not even considered ants.

Only Chen Xiuchang treats the military households under his command as human beings.

However, it is precisely because of this relationship that the military households in the garrison where he is located are so user-friendly and loving to him.

After communicating with his subordinates, Chen Xiuchang began to arrange arrangements and prepare to attack the tavern.

After the people from the Self-Defense Ward Station arrived, the yamen runners who had originally surrounded the place were relieved. They gave up their positions and let the soldiers of the Ward Station push them up. They came to the periphery and began to maintain public order.

In the eyes of these yamen runners, if they leave the tavern, they will save themselves from being injured by accident when they fight.

Anyway, there are some poor soldiers in front of you, so I can save myself from taking risks.

When the soldiers under Chen Xiuchang came, they basically had a rusty iron knife, and they didn't even have a shield.

But no matter what, it is much better than the yamen runners who only have one stick of water and fire.

"Sir, we can only attack from the front, but in this way, the pirates who are eager to jump over the wall will have to fire their muskets. Then the person who is rushing in front may not be able to do it..."

After observing for a while, Chen Xiuchang's subordinates reminded him.

Chen Xiuchang gritted his teeth and said, "Tell me, those who are willing to take the lead will be paid for fifty taels if they die! There will be fifty taels if they survive!"

There must be brave men under heavy rewards. With Chen Xiuchang giving this reward, four soldiers really stood up.

These four soldiers are not young, and the youngest is fifty years old.

The military household system of the Ming Dynasty was a bit tricky. Even if you were eighty years old, you still had to go to battle with weapons as long as the court summoned you.

Therefore, it is not surprising that soldiers in their fifties and sixties appeared in Chen Xiuchang's team.

In Liaodong, he even saw an 82-year-old military household going to fight with the Jurchens.

Of course, it is conceivable that the combat effectiveness of soldiers of this age is simply not good.

But the court doesn't care about you. Military households are military households. You have to farm in your spare time and work hard in wartime. Even if it is unreasonable, you have to accept it.

Looking at the four old military households standing out, Chen Xiuchang knew what they mean without asking.

There are fifty taels of silver regardless of life or death, which is definitely a big sum of money for them.

You know, in this era, the income of a family of five is only eight or nine taels of silver. This is still a well-off level, and the few that are short of five or six taels of silver will allow the family to spend the year.

The purchasing power of silver during this period is amazing.

It would be very unreasonable to calculate it using modern exchange rates.

Because there are too many factors and aspects involved.

Therefore, the fifty taels of silver would almost be saved for five or six or even ten years without eating or drinking. For example, these old military households are old anyway, so it is better to fight for them once and get the money for their families, so that they can live a better life in the future.

Besides, Chen Xiuchang, the hundred households, and the words they said would not be false. So they could all trust him and knew that he would definitely keep his promise.

"Sir, if there is a real accident, the family will rely on the adults."

The oldest military man, who was the oldest, arched his fists with his hands and said to Chen Xiu long.

Chen Xiuchang nodded with a serious and serious expression.

"Don't worry, I, Chen Xiu, do what I said, you will give it to you alive. If you really have an accident, this money will be given to your family. Brothers are all here. Everyone testifies that if I, Chen Xiu, cannot do this, I will die without a complete body."

The ancients still valued curses very much.

Therefore, after Chen Xiuchang said this, the old military households had nothing to worry about.

In addition, Chen Xiuchang is usually a good person, and their faces all smiles.

"Brothers! Let's go first!"

After saying that, the four old men picked up the knife in their hands, and after they were dispersed, they began to walk to the tavern.

Behind them, the military soldiers and soldiers also slowly followed the four old men with their waists.

After all, they are military households in the garrison, and they are really much stronger than the yamen runners. At least they will make some standardized postures and movements when attacking.

In the words of modern online games, it is called "positioning" -

Dividing line—

"The people outside started attacking, and they looked like the Ming army."

A soldier who had been observing the movement outside in the tavern discovered this situation and immediately turned around to remind everyone in the room. Then he turned around and aimed at the person who was at the head with a musket.

"Cum! Don't be dead, they are also Oriental!"

The voice of the officer sounded.

Yes, although these Ming people are not from imperial people, they are all Yanhuang tribes, and the Yanhuang bloodline is flowing on them. If it were not for the last resort, they would really not be able to do anything.

They can't get through that psychological level.

"These guys are all dead corners. It seems that we have encountered tough guys."

A soldier guarding the window smiled bitterly and said without looking back.

"Everyone cheer up. I guess your highness has almost sent troops. So we just need to hold on for a while, and we must survive for me."

He brought these soldiers out of him, so the officials of the affairs department did not want everyone to die here and at the hands of Ming people.

"Run!"

While speaking, the four old men who were leading the way speeded up. When they were away from the gate of the tavern filled with miscellaneous obstacles, they shouted and ran away.

Two of them rushed to the door, while the other two rushed to the window of the tavern.

When the four of them moved, the other soldiers who were hidden behind them rushed out and began to rush towards the tavern.

It can be seen that the four old men wanted to use their lives and bodies to push away the debris blocks piled up at the entrance of the tavern and the windows to facilitate the brothers behind to rush in.

Bang!

The genetic soldier guarding the window pulled the trigger of the musket! (To be continued. Please search for Piaotianyi, the novel is better, and the update is faster!)
