Chapter III Execution
In another era, Chen Mu went to Qingyuan. He had a college roommate of the Bai family who took him to the Shuidong Bai family ancestral hall there. During his verbal bombing, Chen Mu still remembered the ancestors of the Bai family he worshipped. The first in the Ming Dynasty was Bai Tingyong during the Hongwu period, and was appointed as General Zhaowu, Commander of Fujian Guards, and Hundred Houses of Shiyin Qingyuan Guards; and the second in the Ming Dynasty was Bai Yuanjie, the governor of the Governor, Commander of Guangdong, and Commander of Shiyin Qingyuan Guards, who was famous for his bravery and good combat. Later, he went north to fight against the Japanese and participated in the Luliang naval battle, burned more than a hundred Japanese ships, and wrote a brilliant note on the book of meritorious deeds.
Bai Yuanjie is now the boss of Chen Mu who crossed the banner of the general flag, Qingyuanwei Baihu. He is almost young at the age of Chen Mu, but he has a good family background in his memory, but he is much better than those of them poor military households! In Chen Mu's eyes, this is a golden thigh that will not sink and is close to him!
The thighs are not difficult to hold. The difficult thing is how to find that it can become the potential of the thigh when it is still thin. This most difficult process was skipped by Chen Mu, who is familiar with the storm, and naturally he was in a boundless mood.
Shao Tingda was very happy about Chen Muhuan, but then the question was taken by Chen Mu and asked him about the situation in his hometown. Shao Tingda, who was just over 20 years old, was really older than this age. Even though he was strong, he sighed repeatedly, and his face was sad like an old farmer with a broken harvest, especially when talking about his hometown.
"This year, police were sent to the coast for thousands of miles, and this is even more so in Yuegang." Shao Tingda raised his dirty fingers and scratched his hair anxiously, looking extremely uneasy. "I heard that General Qi won a battle in Fujian, but no letter came over. I'm not in a hurry!"
Yuegang, Chen Mu's mother's Shao clan is all in Yuegang, Fujian. The entire village has the surname Shao. To be nice, it is farming and reading to pass on the family. However, Chen Mu's memory only has the patriarch who should be called the grandfather in terms of seniority. However, no descendants of the uncles became talented. Most of them were farmers or merchants, but there were butchers and merchants, but their living standards were mostly average. For example, Shao Tingda's father used to be a farmer, but later he suffered from the whip method, so he sold his homeland to open a medicine shop. If there were public servants in the clan, he was indispensable - Japanese pirates.
Chen Mu came here to find out that the Japanese pirates or Asian pirates of this era were mainly Ming people. Most of them were poor families along the coast or serious maritime merchants who engaged in trade before the sea ban. After the sea ban, most of them became pirates who were both thieves and merchants. Because of the convenience of trade, Japan was frequent wars in the Warring States Period. They occupied the islands in Nagasaki, hiring wandering samurai who lost their name, wearing Japanese clothes and using Japanese warships, so they were called Japanese pirates.
A gang is a real gang, but a gang may not be a real gang.
This also affected the imperial court's strangulation of Japanese pirates to some extent. The clans of the villagers and clans were related to each other. Japanese pirates came and went like the wind along the coast. The soldiers of the garrison were unwilling to do their best to fight, and it was inevitable that the Japanese pirates had all the right time, place, and people. Instead, the imperial army was not popular in the countryside. Even if the military discipline was not so loose, they would definitely lose more and win less.
Therefore, for Shao Tingda, it is not good for the imperial court to defeat the Japanese. If there are relatives and brothers, they will die. If it is not good for the defeat, it is not good for the Japanese pirates to escape. It is even worse for the Japanese pirates to harm the village.
Since it is not a good thing no matter what, I simply don’t think about it, just like an ant on a hot pan, waiting anxiously for a message.
The two brothers were chatting in the room, and then they heard the mess outside the room, and a boy ran around and shouted from afar, "Chen Xiaoqi, Chen Xiaoqi! There are orders from all households to call the flag officer!"
Listening to the sound, a half-year-old boy who looked even more depressed than Shao Tingda pushed open the door, and he stretched his head with a faint head and stared at the heart. His eyes widened with a little frightened but uncontrollable excitement. His thin clothes were not in the spring moon and were red and swollen, as if the little radish had his fingers supporting his knees and breathing heavily, and then he said loudly: "The old lame man has been caught back!"
This half-old boy is the fifth and a half-year-old man under Chen Mu. He is not as tall as a double-handed Japanese sword. His father is an old qinding from the garrison. He killed people in the village in his early years. He was exiled as a prisoner and would not be named even if he had never read a book. Because he was the eighth child, he was named Hachiro. The first seven died young, and the wife of the official wife went crazy. She died of illness not long after giving birth to him. She thought that the weak and sick Hachiro would not survive, but she never thought that his father had died and he was still alive. As the only remaining military household, the rest of the military household was regarded as a official.
"The old lame man was caught back, Brother Mu." Shao Tingda stared at Chen Mu with a wide eyes, but his eyes were filled with horror, but his tone was sighing, "This is his third time!"
No one knows what the old lame man is, he is not under the same general secretary, and he is not familiar with each other. He only knows that he was exiled to Qingyuan and was a military clerk in the Guiyang Prefecture before. The chieftain did not dare to fight when he rebelled. He became a deserter and was caught without escaping. He was punished by eighty rods according to the law of Zhaoming and continued to serve. Not long after he recovered, he ran away for the second time, and was punished by one hundred rods, and was exiled to Qingyuan Prefecture, Qingyuan Prefecture.
Chen Mu also had the memory of the old lame man when he was just taken to him. The wound on his right leg, which was inflamed by the hot weather in Lingnan, had maggots. He lay for several months and was dead. He ran away some time ago, but how far could he, a lame man who was nearly fifty years old, escape?
"The third time—" Chen Mu murmured, his heart pounding in his chest. Even if he knew that he would face such a situation sooner or later in this era, it was just a matter of course. Only when he really realized that he was not prepared enough, "Ming Lu, flee the army three times, hanged!"
Shao Tingda and Wei Balang seemed to have become accustomed to this kind of thing. Balang told Chen Mu and ran to call other military households. Under Shao Tingda's service, he changed into a mandarin duck jacket and hung a knife. Chen Mu suddenly had the look of a military head and walked first. When he arrived at the martial arts field of the hundred households in the garrison, thirty or forty people had already stood scattered. The scattered queue could not attract his attention. Chen Mu focused all his attention on the people on the wooden platform built by the martial arts field.
The ward station called the old lame man, who looked like he was beaten when he was arrested, knelt on the ground with a disheveled hair, tied up with ropes next to him. The young military officer who was wearing gorgeous cloth armor and reading the order for disposal was Bai Yuanjie, a tall and strong figure, with a single sword on his waist, and a loud voice on his cheekbones.
In addition to the two of them, there were also several Bai family soldiers around. Whether they were strong in shape or bright armor, they were far stronger than the military households below.
Chen Mu stood in front of the team, leading the six flag bearers under his command, staring at the platform with his head held high and wide eyes. Even if he was close, he could not hear what Bai Yuanjie was reading. Everything in his vision lost color in an instant. He could not hear anything except his pounding heart. He just breathed slightly with a mouth and made his mouth dry.
As the lasso was solid on the old lame man's neck, the bound person suddenly started to tossing like crazy. Bai Yuanjie waved his big hand, someone pulled the wood chip, and said with a "sky" sound, the wooden board under the old lame man's feet was hollowed out, and the rope hung him up in the air. In just a while, the bloody legs twitched a few times, and the neck tilted, and all the sounds and colors seemed to suddenly crash into Chen Mu's world again.
"vomit……"
He heard the low and long and inverted voice of the old lame man's mouth after his death, and came to his senses. Shao Tingda was used to it and chuckled in his ear, "The old lame man is not bad, hey, what a pity!"
