Chapter 273: Market under the city
Originally, if Yang Guodong had explained his intentions to them, he might not have been able to obtain the understanding and support of Hao Yongzhong and others. However, his views on these people had long been preconceived. He also saw that they did not reflect the problem through He Tengjiao and had no intention of being superior and inferior. Therefore, he not only did not explain to them, but instead scolded him.
Yang Guodong cursed badly, and Hao Yongzhong blushed, but he didn't dare to refute, so he had to come out in anger.
When Hao Yongzhong took Li Guo and other old brothers back to his station, he felt so angry that he couldn't get rid of his anger when he thought about Yang Guodong's words.
"As a result, Yang Guodong insulted me too much! Anyway, the Qing army has retreated, I think it is better to rebel against his grandma. Taking advantage of the emptiness of Hunan, I will raise the banner of Lao Wang. With the appeal of Lao Wang, I will not be able to achieve great things without believing it! I will avoid being so cowardly all day!" Hao Yongzhong took off his sword, put it on the table, and said angrily.
"No, no. Shake the flag, don't act irritably." Before Li Guo could speak, Gao Yipeng was the first to object.
"When Lao Wang died, he regretted it. He had been scattered all over the world for decades, and the Zhu family had ruined the country and successfully captured the city of Beijing, but he failed to settle down. Instead, he allowed the Tatars to take advantage of the situation and attacked the pass. The Han family's country was said to have been taken away by the Tatars, but it was better to say that it was ruined by us. This was not Lao Wang's original intention. Now, the Zhu family finally took the lead, but it looked like a capable person. Let's follow him and drive the Tatars out, which can make up for Lao Wang's regret. We have decided this long ago, how can we be angry and rebellious for a moment?"
"Yes, shaking the flag. Even if you go back and enter Hunan, can you stand up and be anxious? Lao Wang's ability is defeated by the Tartars. We can do it?" Yuan Zongdi also advised.
When talking about the Tartars, Hao Yaoqi was completely out of temper. He was really afraid that these savage-like army would basically lose one battle and never win a small battle.
"Well the flag, you are a little reckless today. Yang was obviously afraid that the Tartars would sneak in, so he closed the four doors. We are a guest army, and they have never treated us badly, especially when it comes to food and grass supply, they always focus on us first. What you said today is a bit rushing." Liu Tichun said.
"Yes, Brother Hao, Mr. Yang must be more anxious than us about food and supplies, so let's bear it." Finally, Li Guocai expressed his opinion.
"Hmph, why are you so arrogant? I am afraid of the Tartars, but not these official troops. I thought that when I was rampant in the world, the official troops would not lose their power." After being persuaded by many brothers, Hao Yaoqi finally calmed down his rebellious spirit and cursed a few words, just to make a quick speech.
...
Hao Yaoqi was depressed. After seeing off all the brothers, he came to the East Gate Tower. The East Gate was his defense area.
From afar, he heard the crowds of people on the city wall. He hurriedly went up to the city wall and saw that many business people came outside the city. Some were carrying rice, some carried baskets and eggs, some carried fruits, and some set up pots, exploded meatballs under the city, steamed rice cakes, and a group of people even brought a cart of wine, filled with more than a dozen jars, and put them in a scoop and went to the city wall to hawk, just like a small market.
On the other hand, his soldiers didn't know where to get a basket, put the silver in the basket, and then used the rope to go along. The people took the silver, put the meatballs, rice cakes, etc. into the basket, and asked the soldiers to carry it to the top of the city.
"Damn, these people are good at doing business. They know that we are so hungry that we are so hungry that we are greedy for making these delicious foods." Hao Yaoqi said in his heart.
Suddenly, a strong aroma of wine was pouring into his mouth. Hao Yaoqi was addicted to alcohol. He had been out of wine for many days. When he smelled the aroma of wine, his greed suddenly became addicted to alcohol.
"How much is a can of silver for the seller?" Hao Yaoqi bent down on the city wall and shouted.
"One tael of silver and one scoop!" The man selling wine returned loudly.
"What wine is so expensive?"
"June, I'm making my own pear blossom white. I've been in the wine cellar for more than three years. I've only taken it out and sold it today, so it's more expensive."
"What's the cellar for three years? I'm obviously trying to sell it out of stock."
"Hehe, Jun Ye, you don't lack money, just take care of the villain's business." The man didn't deny it, and replied with a silly smile.
"Okay, I won't care about the price with you anymore. Look, this is ten taels of silver, I'll give you ten scoops."
Hao Yongzhong did not lack silver. He took out a ingot of silver from his arms. A soldier had already brought the basket. Hao Yongzhong put the silver in and handed it down the city wall.
The man ran to the city to take the silver, bit it with his teeth, then put it in his arms, and shouted at the top of the city: "Mr. Jun. The bottom of the basin is round and you can't put wine, it will spill. Why don't you wait, the villain will go home to get a clay pot?"
Hao Yongzhong was stunned, but he didn't expect this floor. Seeing the man turn around and leave, he quickly shouted: "Slow down, how far is your home from here?"
"Ten miles, one round trip is only two hours. Jun Ye, don't worry, wait."
Hey, Hao Yongzhong was anxious as soon as he saw it. Damn, this kid wanted to run away from his uncle's money, right? Ten taels of silver are not a small amount, it's enough for his family to eat for two years. Will he come back after he leaves?
"Slow down, do you want to run away?" Hao Yongzhong snatched the bow from the hand of the soldier next to him, took an arrow, pointed at the man and cursed.
"Oh, Jun Ye, don't scare the villain, you don't dare to run away. What do you think?" The man saw Hao Yaoqi aiming the bow and arrow at him, so scared that he turned over and knelt on the ground. The wine spilled on the ground, and the wind blew, and the stronger fragrance floated up to the city tower.
"General, why don't you let him in? The young men have not drunk for many days, and the birds have faded out of their mouths. Are you kind to the young men? "An older soldier next to him whispered.
"Okay, let them in."
Hao Yaoqi was addicted to alcohol, and secondly, he was afraid that the man would run away with his money. Thirdly, he felt that these people were all people, so it didn't matter if they were let in. Therefore, he ordered the city gate to open and several men selling alcohol came in.
"General, why don't you put the fruit sellers in? You have to have some food and drink?"
"Okay. Move quickly. Marshal Yang has strict orders and is not allowed to open the city gate."
"You just hold on. Let these few people come in without anyone knowing it. Yang Dashui wouldn't know. Besides, the people guarding the city are all their own brothers. Who can't find trouble to report to Yang Dashui?"
"Okay, move quickly." Hao Yaoqi thought about it and agreed.
He didn't expect that when the city gate opened, not only those who sold wine and fruits came in, but also those who sold rice cakes, fried meatballs, and rice and eggs were squeezed in.
The soldiers guarding the gate were hungry for a long time. Looking at the raw and cooked food, they didn't stop them, and they put them in.
