Section 1: The Invasion of the Bandits

Next Chapter

On the Shenzhou Mainland, during the reign of Emperor Zhu Houxi of Jiajing Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, foreign trade was quite developed due to the further development of the commodity economy. Privately operated maritime trade along the www.biquge.info coast is also very active.

With the expansion of selfish desires, the mediocrity and decay of Ming Shizong and the treacherous greed and viciousness of Yan Song, sheltering and conniving at the Japanese officials, the politics became corrupt, the coastal defense was relaxed, and the scourge of the Japanese invaders became more and more serious.

In the twenty-first year of Jiajing (1542), the Japanese invaded Taizhou from Rui'an, attacked Hangzhou, and invaded the coastal areas of Zhejiang.

In the twenty-third year of Jiajing (1544), Xu Dong, Wang Zhi and others guided the Japanese to gather in Ningbo, sneak into the city of Haomin, and loot wantonly. Hundreds of thousands of people were killed in the coastal areas of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, and Guangdong, and the development of the social productive forces was seriously undermined.

Tieshan Village is a small mountain village with only a few dozen people in Shandong, and the story begins!

……………………………………

The sunlight shines obliquely on the ground through the branches of the lush sky, and the countless fallen leaves reflect the light, making the originally extremely dark jungle shrouded in a layer of misty light. Faintly, an extremely weak figure crouched on a big tree, not even daring to breathe, silently watching the ground in front of him. A moment later, in the quiet woods, a rustling sound broke the silence of the entire forest.

In the distance, a rather stout boar with two ghostly lights flashing on its beak and exuding a cold fangs appeared. The wild boar was quite leisurely at the moment, walking around the woods with a big grin. Suddenly, a strange roar broke through the sky, and a sharp arrow pierced through the sky, piercing the boar's head in one fell swoop, and echoing in the forest with a desolate scream.

A moment later, a figure appeared in the forest, and a sturdy man with a longbow and a beast skin landed beside the wild boar, and smiled happily: "I have been here for a day, but I did not expect that the first prey was a fat pig." Haha, Ah Lian and Feng'er can not only eat two good meals. And Feng'er has also paid for going to a private school to study!" After saying that, he mentioned the wild boar and wanted to leave.

"Who?" A sound of rustling aroused the man's vigilance, and he hurriedly threw the dead boar aside, drew his bow and aimed an arrow at a big tree.

"Uncle Liu, spare your life! I'm Xiaosheng...... The sword has no eyes, don't take my life!" At this moment, a weak figure slowly slid down tightly against the trunk of the tree, although there was a look of timidity in his eyes, but a lewd smile appeared on his face.

"Zeng Sheng, what are you doing here, little brat, if you are taken away by a wild beast, it will be a dead end!" the man's eyes showed a hint of surprise, and then a trace of dissatisfaction. He is a villager of Tieshan Village, and he is also a hunter named Liu Song.

He questioned a child, about 7 years old, named Zeng Sheng, he did not reply immediately, his throat made a muffled sound of saliva, and his eyes looked at the wild boar lying quietly on the ground, dead and unable to die again, revealing a red color.

"Huh...... You also brought a sickle. Do you want to come here to hunt? haha...... With your small body, I'm afraid that you will be eaten by the prey before you hit it!"

"Uncle Liu! Can I still be eaten by wild beasts with both legs and feet? You know, our village chief caught a hare alone when he was five years old. I'm seven years old now!" Zeng Sheng, who reacted, turned red at this time, and hurriedly spoke.

"The village chief also came out hunting with the other throwers at that time. Look at you, run out by yourself, how could Brother Hui allow you to come out?...... Did you sneak out?" the man was surprised, revealing a hint of suspicion.

Hearing the man's words, Zeng Sheng's face had a sad look: "Uncle Liu, my father is sick, and my mother has to take care of my father...... I want to get some game for my dad to eat, and after eating the game, my dad will be cured. ”

"Brother Hui is sick? Why didn't you say it earlier! Also, Zeng Sheng, who told you that eating game can cure diseases? That person is you, you have to go to see Lang Zhong if you are sick, go back with me!" The man looked anxious, picked up the wild boar again, and pulled Zeng Sheng away.

"Uncle Liu! Wait! I haven't caught game yet!"

"You kid, what kind of game do you catch, your father's sick game can't be cured, I'll go back to Uncle Liu and send a pig's foot to your house!" As Liu Song took Zeng Sheng away, the words of the two in this jungle gradually drifted apart.

Not long after the two of them left the jungle and walked on a small path, they noticed thick gunpowder smoke coming out of front of them. The direction of the gunpowder smoke is Tieshan Village.

"Something happened in the village!" Liu Song's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly shook off Zeng Sheng's hand, carried the wild boar, and walked towards Tieshan Village.

"Uncle Liu, wait for me!" Zeng Sheng suddenly became anxious and shouted towards Liu Song's back, but in exchange for a figure that was getting farther and farther away.

Zeng Sheng was in a hurry in time, stretched out a pair of legs and ran wildly, but due to the large age difference, he never caught up with Liu Song.

"You brutes, I'm going to kill you!" Just when Zeng Sheng was out of breath and could already see Tieshan Village in the distance, a roar full of anger came from Tieshan Village.

This roar stopped Zeng Sheng's pace, although he was small, but he was quite smart, otherwise he would not have run into the jungle to hunt at a young age. At the moment, I am a fool, I am afraid that I also know that there was an accident in the village.

"Baga!" Just when Zeng Sheng found a rather hidden haystack nearby to hide and observe the situation in Tieshan Village, a rude voice came. Several flashes of swords followed.

"Ah............" With a terrible scream, Zeng Sheng fixed his eyes and saw that most of the Tieshan Village, which was like a village, had been annihilated by the bears. At the entrance of the village, there are hundreds of people wearing crotch cloths, riding handsome horses, and holding various weapons. And next to these people, there is a figure that is crumbling at this moment.

When he widened his eyes to see who the figure was, his eyes suddenly turned red, and he reached out to cover his mouth, not allowing himself to make a sound.

Fang Cai was still talking and laughing with him, saying that he was a little ghost Uncle Liu, who had at least ten long knives stuck in his body at this time. There was a faint look of resentment on his face. That look makes people shudder when they see it.

Zeng Sheng, who covered his mouth, with the help of the fire burning in Tieshan Village, saw corpses all over the ground, including a naked woman. Suddenly, a slick and bloodstained woman made Zeng Sheng's eyes feel like they wanted to breathe fire.

Zeng Sheng, who covered his mouth, gritted his front teeth and didn't let himself make a sound. Slowly looking away, his eyes glazed back, scanning back and forth among the figures on the big horses. After writing down their appearances, Zeng Sheng retracted his head and lay down in the haystack, silent. It's just that the corners of his eyes are already foggy.
