Chapter 264 Base Area (6)

After listening to Chen Guangyi’s words, Wang Degan blinked and immediately changed his smile and said, “So that’s it, okay, it’s rare that you are still loyal to the court. Okay, just take out all the wine and meat.”

After hearing this, Chen Guangyi hurriedly ordered people to push two big trucks over. Each car contained more than 10 cages of meat-filled buns, 4 roast chicken, dozens of kilograms of cooked beef and two jars of wine. He also ordered his subordinates to eat a little of each to indicate that it was non-toxic.

Wang Degan immediately ordered someone to push one of the big trucks behind and give them to Xie Baosheng, and also reported the matter to Xie Baosheng. Then he ordered his soldiers to share the wine and food of another big truck.

An ordinary soldier can only get two meat buns, a small piece of beef, and a bowl of wine. These wines are still hot today, and for the Qing soldiers who have been gnawing cold cakes for a few days in the continuous rain, it is of course a delicious meal.

Wang Degan also distributed a roast chicken, two pieces of beef, and a large bowl of wine. He got off the war horse, found a big stone to sit down, tore off a chicken leg, chewed it in his mouth, and poured a few more mouthfuls of wine, and felt a little relieved. At this time, Chen Guangyi had already come over with a big box and said, "This is 100 taels of silver. Buy some tea for Jun Ye. I'm not sincere and please Jun Ye accept it."

A greedy light flashed in Wang Degan's eyes. 100 taels of silver is not a small amount, and he has not made any money all the way. It seems that he can make a fortune here. Therefore, Wang Degan took over the silver, and while eating meat and drinking, he talked to Chen Guangyi, trying to get Chen Guangyi's background.

After eating the wine and meat, the soldiers who brought the wine and meat to the army also returned and brought Xie Baosheng's order, asking Wang Degan to lead the team to station in Taishantun Village, preparing to welcome the army to arrive. Tonight the army will spend the night in Taishantun Village.

After hearing Xie Baosheng's order, Wang Degan immediately wiped his mouth and said to Chen Guangyi: "Okay, lead the way to your village."

Chen Guangyi hurriedly said, "Please come with the villain."

Not long after, Chen Guangyi brought Wang Degan and other Qing troops to the village, while Chen Zhizhong had already brought more than a dozen family members to greet him at the entrance of the village.

Wang Degan got off the horse in an open space in front of Chen Zhizhong's house and said to Chen Zhizhong: "How many people are left in your village now."

Chen Zhizhong said: "Report to Jun Ye, there are 37 families left in the village and 162 people."

Wang Degan nodded and said, "It is rare that you still care about the court. I have reported to General Xie. He will also report to the Governor's Office. After the bandits are wiped out, they will definitely reward you."

Chen Zhizhong hurriedly said, "Mr. Jun is so kind. The villain has prepared a banquet at home to welcome Jun. Although it is just a simple meal, it is also a bit of the villain's wishes. Please follow the villain into the house."

Wang Degan said: "I'm not busy now. You'll gather all the remaining people in the village here. I have something to say."

After hearing this, Chen Zhizhong thought that Wang Degan wanted to give a lecture in public and appease the remaining villagers, so he didn't think much about it and immediately arranged for his clan members to go door to door to find someone.

Not long after, villagers were standing in front of the Chen family's door, and more than a dozen relatives of the Chen family also arrived. Of course, some young female relatives in the Chen family still stayed in the house and did not come out, but it was almost the same. So Chen Zhizhong turned around and said to Wang Degan: "Mr., everyone is here."

Wang Degan nodded, suddenly his face changed, and he said, "Catch all these people."

The Qing soldiers immediately rushed over from two pieces and surrounded the villagers, with the rifles, spears and other weapons in their hands facing the villagers. The villagers were also shocked and spoke and questioned. Chen Zhizhong's face also changed drastically. He grabbed Wang Degan and said sternly: "You... what do you... mean?"

Wang Degan shook Chen Zhizhong's hand and said, "You are obviously accomplices of bandits. You are deliberately staying here to try to murder me. Where do you know that I have already seen through your tricks, and you still honestly surrender?"

After all, Chen Zhizhong was an official. At this time, he didn't know what Wang Degan was planning. He couldn't help but feel shocked, angry and regretful, and said, "You are slandering people. I'm going to Kaifeng Prefecture to sue..."

Before he could finish his words, he was kicked to the ground by Wang Degan. Two Qing soldiers came over and took turns to beat Chen Zhizhong several times. Chen Zhizhong was over 60 years old, and he could withstand such beatings. He was beaten to the ground and was extremely moved. At this time, in the crowd, Chen Zhizhong's son Chen Guangyi and Chen Guangxin could still bear it when he saw his father being beaten. The brothers pushed away the spears blocked in front of him and rushed over to rescue his father.

However, the Qing soldiers would not be polite to them. Several spears immediately pierced the brothers' bodies and died on the spot. This scared everyone. No one dared to take any action to resist. He honestly followed the Qing soldiers' orders and took Chen Zhizhong, who was beaten to death, and entered an empty room, and were all imprisoned.

It turned out that Wang Degan was a veteran soldier. Before sending troops, he held his breath and wanted to make a fortune. Then he had sent troops for 4 or 5 days. Although he had passed by several villages, he had not even encountered a single person in each village. He had emptied everything and didn't even leave a grain of rice. He just now he had taken out the truth from Chen Guangyi's mouth. Although the Chen family's land was taken away by the base government, other properties were still basically retained. So Wang Degan had a bad idea at that time, and it seemed that he could make a fortune here.

Although the Chen family is a family of officials and some people work in Kaifeng Prefecture. If it is on weekdays, Wang Degan would never dare to attack the Chen family, but now it is different. It is now in wartime and is in an area controlled by bandits, so you can use an excuse to deal with it. So before entering the village, Wang Degan also discussed with his soldiers and made a vote in this village.

After detaining the villagers, Wang Degan immediately ordered the soldiers to search for property from house to house in the village.

As a result, not only were there a large amount of money, livestock, grain and other items found, but more than a dozen female relatives of the Chen family found. When Wang Degan was counting the money he found, a Qianmao came to him and said, "Sir, how to deal with these women in the Chen family? There are a few of them who look so beautiful. If they are also locked up with others, it would be a pity. It would be better to let the brothers have fun and have fun. Brothers have specially left you one, which is the granddaughter of the old guy, who is only 17 years old this year, and she is still the eldest daughter of the yellow flower!"

Wang Degan glared at him and said, "What's the hurry? You look like you're in a boring manner. Have you never seen a woman in your life? First, gather all the women together, detain them in another place, tell your brothers, don't be busy having fun. General Xie will arrive soon. Be prepared to welcome General Xie. After you have placed General Xie, you will talk. I don't think you want to live in this village for 2 or 3 days. If you want to have fun, you have time."

Mr. Qian agreed and hurriedly went down to make arrangements.

In the afternoon, the Qing army in Henan drove into the village one after another. At dusk, Xie Baosheng also led his troops to the village. Wang Degan welcomed Xie Baosheng into the village and reported to Xie Baosheng, saying that most of the villagers in the village had left, and only a few families were left. However, these families were suspected of banditry, so he imprisoned the remaining villagers. In addition, he also found some wine, meat and food in the village, which could allow the whole army to have a good meal.

After hearing Wang Degan's words, Xie Baosheng didn't say anything, but just told Wang Degan not to be careless. It is okay to have a good meal, but not to drink too much to avoid making any mistakes.

At this time, Wang Degan's soldiers had already slaughtered a few pigs, sheep, chickens, ducks and other livestock, and cooked rice and steamed buns. Therefore, at night, all the Qing soldiers had a hot meal, including wine and meat. Of course, they were very happy for the Qing soldiers who had worked hard for several days. Wang Degan took out some of the money and materials they found and gave them one to the main generals of the Qing army. Everyone should pay the money and money together.

However, Wang Degan did not give Xie Baosheng one. It turned out that Xie Baosheng was an honest official and never accepted bribes. Although he had led troops for more than 20 years, he not only had no savings, but also had a debt of 10,000 taels. When Xie Baosheng took office as the general of Hebei Town, Xi Liang, then governor of Henan, reported to the court that the court ordered the treasury to give Xie Baosheng 9,000 taels of silver to repay the debt. Wang Degan knew Xie Baosheng's temper and nature well, so he naturally did not dare to give gifts to Xie Baosheng.

In fact, although Xie Baosheng did not ask about these things Wang Degan did, he also guessed, just pretending to be confused. Although Xie Baosheng was an honest official, Bi Jing had been in the army for more than 30 years, so what kind of virtues were Qiu Ba's. On weekdays, Xie Baosheng was still quite strict in his army and would definitely forbid his subordinates from invading the people. Once he found out, he would definitely be strict. However, the army he led now only has more than 3,000 people directly led by Xie Baosheng. Although the remaining troops were controlled by Xie Baosheng, Xie Baosheng could not directly interfere in the internal affairs of these troops, so he did not have much to worry about at this time.

What's more important is that it is wartime, and it has been 4 or 5 days to send troops. Because of the continuous rain and no people along the way, the entire army is very tired. Xie Baosheng also knows that there are many complaints in the army now. Now it's hard to find a village where people live, so naturally they have to vent. If Xie Baosheng interferes heavily at this time and stops the soldiers' behavior, and even severe punishment of soldiers, it may cause mutiny or camp roar, which is absolutely impossible.
