Came to a grass hut again, was giving gruel, Wanyan Xiaohua led ten female guards to this Wu'e Tucheng, now all here, they all went to armor, wearing soap-colored suits, that is, very neat black clothes and trousers.

Wanyan Xiaohua and other female guards came, and when they came, they brought some daily necessities to the Son of Heaven, and of course, by the way, they also brought Li Yanniang; Second, now Lu Ning is not at ease to use a local barbarian woman as a maidservant, so he called a female soldier from his cronies.

Gruel is the lonely old people and orphans who have lost their children in Tucheng after the change of giving alms to Wu'e.

However, this Annan barbarian seems to be generally lazy, and strong men also come to receive porridge.

These barbarians, who have lived in Wu'e Tucheng for several generations and become natives, are very industrious, as long as they can stutter, it is not the farming season, the peasants are wandering on the streets, and no one is willing to find some work to do, such as repairing the new regimental training embassy, making adobe walls, etc., the local natives are tired of working for less money, and finally, Ruan Danyu directly conscripted and selected strong natives from the city to work for free, otherwise they will be beaten and imprisoned, and those natives have no objections.

In addition, if they are not tired of working and have wages to get paid, these natives will earn and rush to do it, such as building a few straw huts in this vacant land, and the natives began to help them, and they were rewarded with a few pennies.

However, the native women are very hardworking, which is also the reason for the super low status, compared to the Central Plains, the native women here are like slaves at home, and they do heavy work, but women do more.

From the barbarians in the mountains and forests to the city for two or three hundred years, after several generations, these natives have the potential of some tropical residents in later generations, Lu Ning is also a little helpless, the weather is hot, and he can find some wild fruits and other reasons to satisfy his hunger without working?

Moreover, now, it is also because Ruan Shoujie paid extremely heavy taxes in the past, no matter how hard he worked, he could only barely satisfy his stomach, and the rest of the rice grains were all requisitioned by Ruan Shoujie, so naturally there were few people who were willing to work hard.

However, no matter what the reason, they are also at will, and the soil department of Lingnan is much more diligent than them, and after the migration, the survival of the fittest and natural selection.

Of course, at least wait for the situation to stabilize before you can move to Lingnan, especially if it is located in the northeast of Wu'e Land, it has become the wo Na Man of your hinterland from a certain point of view, and it must be pacified in order to reassure you to immigrate.

However, this Wu'e land, when the Lingnan soil department arrives here, there should be more barren fields that can be reclaimed.

The gruel cooked by the female guards came from the granary of the Ruan family in Tucheng, and Lu Ning had already agreed with Ruan Danyu that most of the grain would be bought and used as military food for the Red Tiger Army.

In terms of the farmland in Wu'e Land, as long as thousands of Lingnan natives migrated in, plus the original local natives, the Red Tiger Army's 5,000 troops and horses will be stationed here in the future, and the local grain should also be able to supply the whole army.

was pondering while walking, but saw Ruan Danyu, who was carrying an oiled paper bag in front of him, hurriedly walking back, his face was a little not good-looking.

"Lord of the General Academy, the people's daughter heard that the door plaque written by the professor of the government office that is being built is Wu'e Town?"

Lu Ning bowed slightly, "Yes, because when this court went out of Beijing, the Son of Heaven said that the state and county of the native people of southern Xinjiang will be changed to towns, villages, villages, etc. in the future, more than 500 households are villages, and more than 1,000 households are towns, but you don't need to worry, the group training of the town, ranging from five to seven products, Wu'e Town, with the future population, the importance of the terrain, the town group training can be awarded five products." ”

Ruan Danyu's face was a little pale, but he heard Lu Ning say again: "In the future, your Ruan family will be the hereditary deputy envoy of the regiment, respected from generation to generation, and can be called a model in southern Xinjiang." ”

Ruan Danyu's face immediately collapsed.

Lu Ning said again: "This position of deputy envoy cannot be taken by a young person, I think it will be filled by you or your husband Ruan Jing!" ”

Ruan Danyu was stunned, and her face became cloudy.

At this moment, in the distance, there was a sudden sharp whistle whistle.

Lu Ning frowned, "This is a signal of an enemy attack!" ”

Ruan Danyu's face also changed slightly.

Wanyan Xiaohua and the female guards have quickly gathered over.

"Send Zhaorong back!" Lu Ning made a gesture, and he walked towards the western gate where the whistle came.

Ruan Danyu hurriedly followed.

……

The arrow tower of the earth city wall, the soldiers in rattan leather armor are waiting for the battle, which is in stark contrast to the various dresses of the black and overwhelming barbarians under the city.

There was a strong brute in front of the battle, grunting and shouting.

"Ah, he said it was from the Three Belt Caves." Ruan Danyu's face was happy, "That's my Uncle Ruan Kuan's clansmen who came to help us." ”

Lu Ning asked, "Ruan Kuan is not among them?" ”

Ruan Danyu nodded.

Lu Ning said: "Then invite them back, just say, now that Wu'e is in Qi, there are Qi officers and soldiers to protect the territory and the people, and don't bother with him, even Ruan Kuanlai said the same." ”

In fact, Ruan Danyu also knew that although Ruan Kuan and his father were brothers, and they both had few conflicts with Jiao Gong, it was difficult to ensure that Ruan Kuan would not take advantage of the fire to rob and invade Wu'e land, especially that sending a letter to Ruan Kuan for help was originally Mrs. Wona's proposal, and Mrs. Wona, who had a relationship with Ruan Kuan, and several leaders were all killed in the Wu'e Change.

But now, Ruan Danyu really hopes that Ruan Kuan can provoke the Qi people, even if he stirs up the situation, maybe he can find some opportunities.

Just listening to the words of the General Academy, Ruan Danyu had no choice but to shout to the city, and he also muttered, naturally ordering them to leave Wu'e Land.

The brutes slowly retreated, but when they were hundreds of paces away, they stopped.

More than ten miles east of Wu'e Tucheng, the Qiujiang River of later generations is now named Wu'e River by Lu Ning, the river meanders through, there are many puddles along the way, and rice is planted, and in the west of Wu'e City, it is mostly upland rice and rice and other farmland, although there are no green seedlings in the field now, but looking at these barbarians gathered in the farmland and trampled, Lu Ning still frowned slightly.

"Open the city gate, Ruan Danyu, you send someone to inform them, if you don't leave, it will be regarded as invading the local area!"

It's no good to spend so much with them, after all, the vast majority of the barbarians in the city have not yet been concentric, and they were opened in the middle of the night to carry out a sneak attack or something, if the barbarians in the city are provoked again, and the Qi army becomes an invader, it will not end well, after all, under the bloody suppression, the hatred will become deeper and deeper.

"Squeaky", the city gate was slowly opened.

The barbarians who were squatting or sitting hundreds of paces away saw the city gate open, as if they had received some signal, they suddenly jumped up, raised their blades in their hands, and rushed over with a roar.

Lu Ning was slightly stunned, and was a little speechless, sure enough, the Annan Protectorate was attacked by foreign races several times, and now it has become a local regime, and what has always been in contact with Annan is the chaotic Southern Han Kingdom, and Annanman's awe of the Central Plains has long disappeared.

It seems that there are more than 1,000 barbarian soldiers, and they want to attack a city guarded by a large number of armored soldiers in the Central Plains, even if it is an earthen city, it is a behemoth surrounded by city walls, not a small village.

Ruan Danyu was beside her, clenching her fists, her palms were sweating, her body trembled slightly, she didn't know for a while, what to do, she had the urge to shout and make everyone in the city attack the Qi people, but she was slightly worried, after all, the Wo Na barbarian tribe had sent a message to her father that the Qi people of the Tang Dynasty were difficult to deal with, and it seemed that they were even better at fighting than the Tang people in the legend.

Under the city, the sudden sound of killing shook the sky, and inside the city gate, the black iron stream gathered by the giant swordsmen rushed to the outside of the city with bursts of smoke and dust, and immediately dispersed into a fan shape, and collided violently with the oncoming barbarians.

After that, Ruan Danyu's violently beating heart seemed to have stopped.

Under the round of collisions, there were almost no black-armored swordsmen who fell to the ground, and when they looked down from the city, the barbarian headdress with feathers and grass seemed to be much thinner immediately.

On the city, a rain of arrows poured down.

The barbarians who rushed behind also fell to the ground one after another, and the barbarians who fought at close range with the giant sword armor soldiers were as fragile as scarecrows, and they were cut down to the ground one by one.

I don't know who led the way, and as soon as I shouted, the barbarians immediately turned around and fled.

Gongs and drums were beaten on the city, and the Qi army was called back.

The whole battle, I'm afraid, didn't take a quarter of an hour.

"You send people out to bury the bodies, and as for the wounded, you watch and dispose of them."

Lu Ning's voice sounded, Ruan Danyu suddenly came back to his senses, and then nodded silently, but his heart had already sunk to the bottom.
