Just as Li Luo led seven hundred armor soldiers to the island, in the ancestral hall of Gurong Village, disputes began again.

More than a dozen village chiefs, with different accents, insisted on their own opinions.

A lean old man said with a Cantonese accent: "Brother Lin, the urgent task now is to nominate the speaker." There is no backbone to take the lead, the dragons have no leader, a plate of scattered sand, do not listen to orders, and everyone is at a loss. ”

This person is Mei Quanlu, the head of Baihe Village, and he is also a talent in the Song Dynasty. He is the oldest, and he is also an old talent, and he pays the most attention to seniority, so he naturally doesn't want other village chiefs to be talkers.

A Fujian accent also sounded: "Isn't it, we have suffered too much loss, and if we continue like this, we will be killed by Shengfan." As the saying goes, a snake can't be without a head, how can it be done without a township chief at the helm? In my opinion, the election of the township chief is long overdue. With the township chief, unified dispatch and arming can resist the shengfan. ”

He is Wu Zhenlou, the village chief of Xishan Village, Fujian, and a talent of the Song Dynasty. He has always advocated that all villagers elect the head of the township.

There is also a village chief who said: "The tree moves the dead and the living, so just move away and move to the south!" ”

Another retorted: "Don't want the crops? Moved to the south, and there was no more life in the south? Isn't this exhausting? ”

Lin Biju, the head of Linshui Village, Zhejiang, couldn't help but pat the case anymore and said: "Brother Mei, Brother Wu, village heads, now your eyebrows are burning!" What else do you say, the village chief! Say what to run away! Maybe tomorrow, you and I will be born! ”

The crowd was silent.

Lin Biju stood up and pointed to the fields outside: "These crops are our hard work, and we rely on them to survive this year." If we leave our crops behind and move south, my younger brother will say, "What will we eat for thousands of us?" Don't starve to death yet! Therefore, there is no need to mention the proposal of moving south! ”

"The younger brother has a hunch that Shengfan will soon make a comeback, and now the plan is to abandon the villages in the east and gather the villagers together, not to disperse. The second is to select young people who dare to fight, and then let those who have been in the army be the team leaders. The third is to select villagers who are good at running, set up a sentry outside the mountain, and once they find that Shengfan is coming down the mountain, they will immediately run back to report the news. ”

"There are dozens of villagers who have served in the army, and there are also four or five hundred young people who dare to fight, right? If you fight to the death with a hoe, you may not be able to lose. ”

Wu Zhenlou nodded and said, "This is a solution, I agree with Brother Lin's idea." But what about this catch? ”

Mei Quanlu also said: "The old man also agrees. But for such a big matter, with so many people, and no one who has a general charge, how can we discuss everything, how can we unify the power of affairs, and how can we respond freely? ”

Wu Zhenlou and Mei Quanlu insisted on electing the leader first, not out of selfishness, but also with a lot of public intentions. When encountering an existential war, how can you win if there is no one person in charge of the matter? The stakes are just too great.

Otherwise, just draw lots and decide, depending on the will of God.

Lin Biju couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard the two of them point to the topic of "leader" again. But why didn't he know the importance of the leader? The problem is that there is no one who has enough prestige to convince everyone, and he will come when he says it.

At this time, everyone missed the Great Song Dynasty.

It would be nice if this Great Song was still there.

Speaking of which, the officials of the Great Song Dynasty are not good, but the people can at least maintain food and clothing, and life is not sad.

If the Great Song Dynasty had not died, or if there was a Song army on this island, they would not have been so miserable.

Looking back now, when the Zhao Guanjia were the Son of Heaven, their life was the best, and they were the most like individuals.

It seems that as long as the government is not excessive, a place with an official government is still better than a place without an official government!

At this moment, suddenly a young man sweating profusely rushed in and shouted, "Oh no...... I'm going down the mountain! ”

What the!

Everyone was shocked. The day before yesterday, he went down the mountain to slaughter two villages, why did he come so soon?

"Little Dingzi, do you see clearly? How many lives have come down the mountain! Mei Quanlu asked anxiously.

Xiao Dingzi is very good at running, bold and clever, and is a person sent by Mei Quanlu to guard near the mountain.

Xiao Dingzi ran for twenty or thirty miles, and he was tired and prostrated. He sat on the ground, gasping for air.

"Far from ...... See the descent ...... Didn't see clearly...... How many people! The village to the east... Hear me out...... It's all running this way..."

The village chiefs are as anxious as ants on a hot pot, and in order to conserve their strength, they will definitely not run over. But it counts...... At most, it will come in half an hour.

Amazing!

It is simply too late to organize resistance.

Now there is only one word: escape!

The village chiefs eagerly made their only choice, but before they could order everyone to flee together, another villager rushed in to report the news.

"The officers and soldiers are coming! Several big ships on the seashore, all in armor! ”

The village chiefs were suddenly shocked again.

How did the officers and soldiers come across the sea? Are they here to arrest these fugitives?

Besides, the Great Song Dynasty is dead, where are there any officials and soldiers? Of course, it was the Yuan army who came.

Life is like a ghost, the Yuan army is like a tiger, and they all came at this time, there are wolves in front and tigers in the back, how is this good!

"Tell the villages, everyone, run south! Don't go west, the soldiers have landed from the west! ”

Mei Quanlu, Lin Biju and others couldn't take care of it so much, and they were sweating heavily and arranged to flee south urgently.

The escape of thousands of people was not an easy matter, and no matter how urgent it was, it was necessary to bring rations and necessities. Otherwise, even if you escape, you won't starve to death?

Several villages in the east were closest to the mountains, and the people there were also running in a mess at this time, and they fled after hearing Xiao Dingzi shouting all the way.

Thousands of people rushed over in horror, and the nearby villages were alarmed, and they also gathered in a swarm to Gurong Village.

In any case, it is only safe to gather together these days. All Han Chinese villages were thrown into chaos.

Li Luo and the others had already seen the villagers not far away fleeing in groups towards the place of Gurong Village.

It seems that the villagers are so afraid of the "officers and soldiers" that they will flee when they see them.

"Chen Wulang, you run to report the news, say it in detail, don't let the villagers misunderstand!" Li Luodao.

"The grass people obey!"

Chen Wulang immediately rushed forward to report the news, letting the village chiefs know that General Li was here to help them exterminate Shengfan, not a bad person.

This is the simplicity of ordinary people. If you were a different reader, you would definitely not trust Li Luo easily. Who knew that this little general was not a plan to salute first and then soldier, and wanted to wipe out all the villagers?

Just when the village chiefs were anxious, Chen Wulang brought back a great piece of good news.

The officials and soldiers did not come to exterminate the fugitives, and promised to help them exterminate the life and take revenge!

"That General Li really said that?" Lin Biju asked with surprise and joy.

"I have seen it with my own eyes and heard it with my own ears, where is the falsehood?" Chen Wulang said proudly.

Mei Quanlu looked at the broken arrow in Chen Wulang's hand, breathed a long sigh of relief, and said: "Then General Li broke the arrow and vowed to help in front of thousands of people, which is the heroic temperament of the ancient way, and he should not be cheating!" ”

Wu Zhenlou laughed: "In this way, I am saved!" Let's go meet General Lee! As for Shengfan, what are you afraid of! ”
