Chapter 450 Mutual fight
At this time, not only Ma Chengxian was left in the military camp, but also some handymen, and some nearby people. However, if Ma Chengxian is considered a member of the court, then he is the only one.
Although the camp of the Right Shenwu Army is a ragged camp that is almost burnt out, the lean camel is bigger than a horse. After the army set off, there will always be some things left. The handymen and people come to pick things up, such as tents, quilts, or some ragged clothes. For the soldiers and the people, these things may be ragged, but for the handymen and the people, the sewing and repairing can still be used, and it is good to use them.
As soon as the students from the Imperial College and the imperial guards came over, the handymen and the people stood up and watched. Seeing such a large number of people and people from the government, the handymen and the people were naturally unhappy. This delayed them in picking up things. Maybe there was something good to be picked up by these guys first.
Some people have a very bad temper and have no respect for the people in the government. They stand at the gate of the camp and curse. Anyway, if they are caught, they will be beaten. If they are not caught and enjoy their mouths, that is also good. The common people have no privileges and have no other skills except for enjoying their mouths.
Ma Chengxian looked at the handyman and the people cursed at the imperial guards, thinking: "What a courage. This is just outside the city, there are many woods, so it's easy to escape. If they are in the city, they will be caught and they must break their legs!"
The imperial guards came with the arrival of the Imperial College students. They didn't care. Anyway, their mission was to protect these students on the surface, but in fact they protected Yang Ze, so they didn't have to go to the battlefield at all. Although it was quite hard to go to the northeast, there would be a chance to get rich on the road, which was considered a public expense trip to Beijing. So the resentment in their stomachs was relatively not very large.
From a distance, I saw many people at the entrance of the camp, and they were still jumping and cursing. The imperial guards all laughed. They didn't expect that the people were picking up rags and thought they were scolding students from the Imperial College!
A guard in front of the imperial guard said: "These people must be from nearby villages. They rely on the barracks and usually do small business with the soldiers and generals to make a living. Now the army is on an expedition. Their livelihood is affected, so they will naturally curse people!"
Another imperial guard laughed and said, "I have a feeling that the common people are scolding the students of the Imperial College behind us. All the students are ignorant, but they are still ignorant after learning. The common people usually dare not scold them. Now when they see that they are in trouble, they rush out to enjoy their mouths!"
The guards in front of the imperial guards nodded together, which makes sense. Usually, the students in the Imperial College are overly high-minded and relying on their alternate officials, they look down on ordinary people and dare not scold them, such scholars. But now they finally have a chance. If these phoenixes fall into the trap, they are not as good as chickens. People who are usually looked down on by them. This time, they can look down on them in reverse. So why do they look down on them? That's just cursing. How exciting it is!
As the team got closer and closer, the people were hearing the scoldings more and more clearly. The students of the Imperial College were quite puzzled at first. What were those people wearing rags doing standing in the military camp? It seemed to be cursing people, who were they scolding?
The students followed the team of the imperial guards, their vision was blocked. They did not know much about what was happening in the military camp, but they saw the imperial guards turn around and look at them with sympathy!
Of course, the imperial guards were also sympathetic. They were also confused about who the people in the military camp were scolding, but this did not prevent them from feeling good about themselves and actively adding curses to the students of the Imperial College!
The students have always been a very sensitive group, especially when they were first whipped by the emperor and then sent to the army to serve. In this case, the students became even more sensitive. They couldn't stand the sympathetic gaze of the imperial guards and thought it was an insult to them. What kind of imperial guards are these imperial guards? They are just a group of meritorious children. Relying on the seal of their ancestors, they just had a seat in the palace to guard the house. What are their real skills? Why should they sympathize with them? Are they worthy!
After seeing the expressions of the guards in front of the imperial guards and hearing the scolding of the people, many students thought that the people were scolding them. They could not bear this situation, so they surrounded a carriage behind them. There was a person lying on the carriage, covered with a quilt. They were neither someone else, but the unlucky man Meng Zhengtian.
Meng Zhengtian was dismissed from his school status by Queen Dugu, which was so unlucky that he could not be unlucky anymore. He was injured, but he was unwilling to sink into it. For the sake of his future, he decided to fight again. He thought he was still appreciated by Yang Ze. I don’t know why he had this feeling, nor did he know where he got the confidence. Anyway, he believed that as long as he could follow Yang Ze to fight, he would have a position in the army with his intelligence and talent. Then when he returned to Beijing, he would beg for mercy to Queen Dugu, so it would be very hopeful to let him enter the official career again.
So he followed the students of the Imperial College to the military camp and lay on the cart. He didn't stop, but he kept calling himself a leader along the way and told the students about common sense of military conquest. The students also felt guilty about him. Seeing that he could still cheer up like this, he recognized him as the leader and told him everything, which was also a compensation for him.
Several students ran to the carriage and told Meng Zhengtian about the incident in the military camp. After hearing this, Meng Zhengtian said in surprise: "Someone scolded us, but they are all ordinary people. Are the big troops in the military camp sure they have set off?"
A student said, "Absolutely sure. We came here after we were sure. We also spent a lot of time with the imperial guards. If we hadn't stuffed money to them in the end, how could they dare to delay this period of time?"
The students of the Imperial College were unwilling to go to the war with the army, but they had to come, but they were afraid that Yang Ze would deliberately make things difficult for them. In order to improve their status, Meng Zhengtian came up with an idea and came up with such a way to deliberately be late to show their importance. Important people always appear in the end and then catch up with the army. This will show that even if they are injured, they have to work hard for the country. It can be considered as killing two birds with one stone. It is estimated that Yang Ze will still give them some face and not make things difficult for them on purpose.
In order to achieve this goal, he really gave the imperial guards a lot of money. The imperial guards promised them to delay the time a little, of course they could not delay it for too long. This caused Yang Ze to leave shortly before they arrived.
Meng Zhengtian was silent for a while, and at this time he was almost at the gate of the camp. He then said, "I don't know why those people scold us. Only after I figured out my ideas!"
After hearing this, a few people immediately rushed forward, wanting to run into the barracks and ask the people why it is wrong to curse people. If they curse people for no reason, let’s see if we beat you up! Well. The students are all people who are powerless, so please ask the imperial guards to beat them up. At worst, they can spend some money!
But they had just run to the gate of the military camp, but the people scattered. They were just experiencing their urge to speak, and no one would be so stupid that they really went against the people in the government!
The students were surprised, why didn't they scolded and ran away again? Who was instructing them? They were thinking, but they saw a man coming over, and the man ran and said, "Is the person who came here a student from the Imperial College?"
It’s not that he ordered it. Who is this person? Well, it must be his order, otherwise why wouldn’t he stop the people just scolding me? He is watching the fun? Now that he sees us coming, he has come backwards to pretend to be a good person!
The students were quite angry, and a student from a wealthy family said to the imperial guards: "One hundred officials, give this guy a warning first!"
The imperial guards laughed. The money from these students is really easy to make. Anyway, they like to use money to settle everything. Good things, this is a good thing!
Several imperial guards rushed over to the front. When they saw that Ma Chengxian was not wearing official uniforms, they probably should be Yang Ze's aide. It would be nothing to beat him. At least compared with Yibaiguan, it would be nothing!
Without saying anything, the imperial guards came up and beat people. Ma Chengxian was caught off guard and was beaten down without any suspense!
The imperial guard turned around and said to the student who paid the money: "You have done the trick, and you have done it. Don't be dependent on the money, otherwise you will also give it a trick!"
Ma Chengxian was not sure about this, but he is also a person with a small status now, so he would not suffer this loss. He got up from the ground and shouted: "I am General Yang's man. You dare to beat me. It's great. You can wait, we have a day to settle the score!"
Although he was beaten suddenly and did not understand the reason, he finally remembered the task assigned to him by Yang Ze. He shouted: "My General Yang has an order. You imperial guards and students from the Imperial College have been late to go to war with the army. According to the military order, they will be beheaded. General Yang of my family is unwilling to trouble you. You should stop it yourself. I am here to punish you!"
He felt angry in his heart, so he simply scared the imperial guards and students first. When they were afraid, he would say the next half of the sentence himself!
But when he was scared, all the guards in the imperial court changed drastically. They were soldiers, and they didn’t understand the rules in the army. However, many of them knew Yang Ze. This time they went to war, so they thought that Yang Ze would not really do anything to them. But now that this person speaks like this means that Yang Ze is going to be serious!
This is awful. I am afraid of being serious in everything. Even if Yang Ze doesn’t really cut off people’s heads, it is very likely that they will be beaten by military sticks together!
Looking at each other, the imperial guards all regretted it. If they had known this, they would not have charged the students' money. Wouldn't this cause trouble for them?
The leading captain looked at Ma Chengxian and complained in his heart. This man was obviously Yang Ze’s confidant. If he beat him, how could he have a good result!
The captain immediately jumped off the horse, smiled, walked to Ma Chengxian, and whispered: "What do you call this guy? Brothers are late, to protect these students. They are in trouble. They walk and drag their feet, and they can't leave them alone. And they threatened us just now that we must beat you. We really don't know what kind of holidays they have with your General Yang. We are also implicated. This... People are in the world and can't help themselves!"
Ma Chengxian snorted. He was a little hesitant for a moment, whether to tell the truth now, but once he hesitated, the captain saw it, it was no longer a pity. He was a revenge!
The captain hurriedly whispered: "Or, we will beat these guys for you? Anyway, I am late and I will be beaten up by military sticks. We will be executed. What do you think?"
Not only did he push all the blame, he also changed from being punished to being punished!
Ma Chengxian exclaimed and said, "This, this is OK?"
"Okay, okay, of course!" The captain turned around and winked at the imperial guards and beat all the students. This is quite exaggerated, but no matter how the servants punish the evil ones, it is still fine!
