Chapter 704 Soldiers
Jiang Lang shook his head and said, "That Lord Xie is just taking it upon himself. Anyway, no one has demoted him to his position, and that is also a golden mouth opened by the emperor himself. Okay, I won't talk about this now, I will finish the work first!"
After saying that, he became busy again. Yang Shijie nodded. The sun was so hot that it was not ordinary heat, and for him, it was not a small matter.
Fortunately, there were other soldiers helping to harvest this land. Finally, when Yang Shijie felt that he was about to be exhausted, the wheat on this land was finally harvested.
Yang Shijie sat on the ground, and there was still some adult airs there, and then he gasped. Fortunately, there were still some trees in the field that could block the sun, but these big sweat also slid down from his face.
"Brother Yang, how do you feel!"
Jiang Lang sat on the ground afterwards, gently slapped the wind with the hat on his head, and there was also a lot of sweat on his face.
"What I want most now is a cup of tea and then a very comfortable big bed!"
Yang Shijie said with great emotion, then went to the ground, looking at the blue sky and white clouds above his head, and said, "But there are no big beds here now, so I am also a bed, and the sky is a quilt!"
"Two adults, drink water!"
The guard handed over the kettle at this time.
Yang Shijie sat up straight, took a sip, then sighed with satisfaction and said, "Comfortable!"
Jiang Lang also took the water, took a sip, then looked around, and looked around. Looking around, there were still many soldiers and local people in the sky, but the large area of food had been almost finished. It was estimated that if it was not light rain, it would take only one day to go. There would be no harvester in this era, and it would only rely on people. Fortunately, he still had a lot of people.
After handing the water to the guards, Jiang Lang stood up, patted the dirt on his butt, and said, "Let's go around, too!"
Yang Shijie nodded, followed Jiang Lang, and walked towards the field.
The harvested grain will be knocked down and transported back. As for the straw, it will not be wasted in the fields, but will also be transported back to feed animals. To change your life, of course, it is not just about planting grain, but also about raising some side businesses.
The fields are still busy now. Soldiers have become the main force of labor. They are all working, such as transportation, and so on. As for those women and children, they are not only trying their best to help, but some of them put aside those prejudices and help boil some boiling water. After all, in this hot day, the consumption of water is very large.
There is no need to pay taxes, so all the food was sent to the homes of these people. When it was almost noon, the soldiers also prepared dry food, just fill their stomachs with boiling water, and then found a cool place to lie down and rest for a while. As for the invitations from the people, the soldiers refused because there were regulations. For soldiers, the military orders were as high as a mountain, and no one could change them or violate them.
After walking a long way around the fields in the town, Jiang Lang nodded with satisfaction. This is his soldier, not afraid of suffering, not afraid of bleeding and sweating, and not taking every needle or thread from the people.
After walking around the town, Jiang Lang took his people to the town. Because of the bumper harvest, the town is now filled with a festive atmosphere. And this time it is different from before. When the grain was received by the home, the landlords and the government sent people to collect taxes. No matter what the harvest this year, they will first make up enough of the food they need. As for the people, in their eyes, they are just a group of untouchables. Since they are untouchables, it is no big deal to die. So they don’t care about how the people below live, but now they are different.
He has promised not to charge a single tax. Even if he needs food, he will clearly mark the price. If the real gold and silver are purchased, there will never be such a robbery. As for the original nobles, the court gave each of their families a little more than ordinary people, but the prerequisite is that he must take the initiative to hand over his land. As for those who refuse to hand over their land, they have been wiped out by the Ming Dynasty, and their main property is confiscated, and the remaining food is distributed to the local people. Of course, when dealing with them, the Ming army will also send people to help them harvest.
Walking around the town, Jianglang did not see the situation where soldiers were eating at the people's houses. Jianglang was quite satisfied with this and had already given an order before that anyone was strictly prohibited from eating at the people's houses.
"It seems that our soldiers still abide by military discipline very much!"
Yang Shijie nodded and said.
"The army should look like an army, and we must remember what military discipline is like!"
Jiang Lang said this. In this situation, it can only be said that the soldiers strictly abide by military discipline. This is their most basic point and nothing worthy of satisfaction.
Yang Shijie smiled and said, "The military discipline is as good as a mountain, it is indeed so!"
While talking, the group walked out of an alley. The courtyard appeared in front of everyone. The courtyard was not big, and the entrance was also full of harvested food. However, before I could move in, the courtyard gate was open. In the courtyard, Jiang Lang and others clearly saw several people wearing Ming armor sitting on the table, and it seemed that they were eating.
Jiang Lang's face couldn't help but sank, and he said, "What's going on?"
Yang Shijie also saw it and said strangely: "These people seem to be officers, aren't they not allowed?"
"Of course not allowed!"
Jiang Lang was already a little angry. These were officers who had been openly violating military discipline. So he pointed at the courtyard and said, "Go in and take a look!"
After saying that, he walked into the inside, walked to the gate of the yard, and saw clearly that he was eating. As expected, the owner should be two old men. There were four officers who looked like officers around the table. It seemed that after the food was transported back, the owner prepared the meal, so he agreed as soon as he invited.
Jiang Lang didn't care who invited him, but the facts were in front of him. These people had violated the distance, so they stepped in, and Yang Shijie and others followed.
People came in the yard, and everyone turned their heads curiously. The two old men didn't know Jiang Lang and others, and couldn't help but ask strangely: "Who are you?"
However, the officers' faces changed at this time. They quickly stood up from the chair, then half-squatted on the ground, and said in unison: "Search to the general!"
The two old men couldn't understand Chinese, so they didn't understand what was going on.
Jiang Lang did not answer or let them get up, but walked straight to the front of the table and saw that the table was just some materials. After all, it was not easy to eat meat these days, and this was barely considered a simple meal.
"Remember my order?"
Jiang Lang then turned around and asked in a deep voice.
Several officers hurriedly said, "Remember, you are not allowed to take every needle or thread from the people, you are not allowed to disturb the people, and you are not allowed to eat at the people's homes..."
"I think you remember it in your mouth, but you can't remember it in your heart!"
Jiang Lang's words were a little stern.
Several officers quickly lowered their heads. There were regulations in military discipline. Although it was just a very simple meal, it still violated military discipline.
The two old men didn't know what was going on at this time. As soon as the young man came, the people who helped him collect food just now knelt on the ground. And it seemed that the man was very angry, but because he couldn't speak, why Jiang Lang was angry? They didn't know, but they knew that Jiang Lang was getting angry and hurriedly said: "Sir, they... they did nothing wrong, this..."
I don't know what happened, so I don't know how to say it.
Jiang Lang turned around at this time and said, "I am the highest commander here. When they set out, there was a command in it: No food is allowed at the people's homes! As soldiers, they should abide by military discipline, and they have now violated the military discipline!"
When the old man heard this, he was so scared that he knelt on the ground and said, "I don't know if you are here, you will forgive me!"
Jiang Lang hurriedly helped him up and said, "Get up quickly, old man!"
After hearing this, the old man stood up, he hurriedly said, "God General, I invited them to dinner, and they were all simple meals, it really doesn't matter to them!"
Jiang Lang waved his hand and said, "Old man, it's not your business. Our army has strict discipline. As soldiers, we must strictly abide by military discipline. Anyone who violates military discipline should be severely punished. As officers, they knowingly commit crimes, and the crimes are higher than the top level!"
When the old man heard this, he became anxious. He was originally helpless and the soldiers helped to harvest food, so he made some simple food. However, he never expected that this would make them violate the military rules and be punished strictly. In the final analysis, this matter was caused by himself, and he was planning to beg for mercy.
However, Jiang Lang obviously did not intend to give him a chance to speak. He turned around and said to the people present: "Now I order you to return to the troops you are in immediately and wait for disposal!"
These officers dared to speak more, so they stood up and left the courtyard.
Jiang Lang, Yang Shijie and others walked behind. At this time, Yang Shijie whispered: "Is it really going to punish them?"
"certainly!"
