In front of the gate of the palace, there was a man who was holding Gu Sixteen's thigh and crying.

He is from Nogi Town, a small village more than ten miles northeast of Guhezhai.

Dozens of families in Nogi Town, the main family is from Furukawa Village, the early immigrants centered on Furukawa Village, in the vicinity of the cultivated land is almost the same, to expand the wilderness, will move to live near the pioneer Nitta, Nogi Town is such a small village.

The villagers of Nogi Town, who cried, have the same grandfather as Gu Sixteen, and according to the Central Plains generation, they are still Gu Sixteen's cousins.

But in this Kanto land, it is these peasant households, in fact, the style is no different from the secretary of the capital, these villagers who go to reclaim more distant land, they regard the same line of Guhezhai as their own family, they are branches, and their status is lower than that of their own family.

The man cried that the people of Kitanogi Town came to forcibly occupy the cultivated fields again, and they resisted, and were beaten by the other party, and killed and injured several times, and his daughter, who was only 12 years old, was pushed down into the ditch by the other party and drowned inside.

The villagers gathered around immediately shouted angrily, bastards, mongrels scolding.

Seeing Lu Ning come out, Gu Sixteen picked up his cousin named Nogi Daihiro and said, "Come, follow me to meet Master Ban." ”

Lu Ning also heard a little about the dispute between Minami and Kitanogi Town.

The villagers of Kitanogi Town are from a small hill gate thirty miles northeast of Guhezhai.

Xiaoshanzha, belonging to Changlu country, is the largest gate city in the northwest of Changlu country, with more than 1,000 households and thousands of people.

However, it is only 180 miles away from Kashima Castle, where Hitachi Suktogen Manchu garrisoned troops, not to mention mountains, swamps, and wetlands in between.

On the contrary, Xiaoshan Zhaxi is only more than 30 miles away from the New Tang City.

However, Fujiwara Hidego dared to turn the Furukawa Gate, which originally belonged to Shimokoku, into his own territory, but he did not dare to move the small mountain gate, which was also very close and far from the center of Hitachi Province.

For the first time, the Hitachi Province and clan were the base camp for the Mutsu expedition to Ezo, and they had always had a very high status, and they were the first class powers, and the national defense was often led by the prince, and this is the case today.

And Changlu Jieyuan Manzhong, who actually served as the acting garrison general in Hitachi Province, was even more of a strong figure.

Minamoto Manchu, the founder of the rise of the Genji samurai group, 200 years later, founded the first shogunate in the history of Toei, led the country as the general of the Seiyi, and completely turned the emperor from the puppet of the minister to the mascot of the samurai, Minamoto Yorito, is the successor of the Genji samurai group, and the same ancestor as Genmanchu.

Nowadays, Gen Manchu is also quite valued by the ministers of Kyoto, and Fujiwara Hidego went to Gen Manzhong to lobby against Qi.

Yes, this small mountain gate is different from the Tachibana clan of the lower head of the West Mountain at sunset, and Fujiwara Hidego has never dared to fight its idea.

On the contrary, compared to the ancient river gate, the small mountain gate belonged to the later immigrants, but when it expanded to the surrounding areas, the people who originated from the small mountain gate were extremely aggressive because of the power of Hitachi Province.

There is even a village that originated from the ancient river near the hill gate in the early days, which has been evicted, and the reclaimed land has been occupied by the hill cultivators.

Originally, there was no north and south in Nogi Town, but the land of the Furukawa reclamation people was also squeezed and invaded by the Oyama reclamation people who built houses two miles north of Furukawa Nogi Town, and slowly gathered dozens of families called Kitanogi Town.

Over the years, the two sides have been at loggerheads, and conflicts have often erupted.

At this point, Fujiwara Hidego does not support his Furukawa people, because the small mountain gate is still the current extremely standard manor public domain system.

That is to say, the lord of reclamation, in order to protect and use this power to keep his manor from being managed by the locality, often dedicates his manor to the nobles and the great temples, and treats him as a lord, calling him a "lord", and gives a part of the annual tribute to the manor, while he retains his position and stays in place to manage the manor. If the "lord" thinks that his power is still not enough to compete with the country, he will dedicate the manor to the more powerful nobles and treat it as the "main family".

The actual local lord of the small mountain gate is the north of the small mountain village with the subordinate position of "small mountain young eye", and the leader of the north of the small mountain village is Kashima Jingu, and the main family is the minister of the capital.

Fujiwara Hidego naturally wouldn't provoke him for no reason.

This also makes the conflict between the north and south Nogi towns, and it is often the Minami Nogi towns, that is, the Furukawa people, who suffer.

Even a few years ago, there was a large-scale armed fight between Guhezha and Xiaoshanzha, and there is no doubt that Guhezha suffered a big loss.

The fields in the north of Minaminogi Town have been encroached upon.

In this conflict, the other party rushed into Minaminogi Town and wanted to expel the villagers of Minaminogi Town.

"Master Ban, we fought with them, please don't see it, okay? Please, Ban-sama! Gu Sixteen bowed deeply.

Lu Ning had already told Gu Sixteen that the Tone River in the south is the boundary, and the north and east are bounded by the end of the field, and the villagers of Guhezhai should not easily cross the boundary.

Now, Gu Sixteen wants to take the villagers to Kitano Kicho to fight with people, and may even attract the revenge of Xiaoshanzha, which is naturally out of bounds.

Lu Ning glanced at Gu Sixteen and bowed slightly, "The people from Xiaoshanzha crossed the line and hurt people, and it is reasonable for you to ask to punish the murderer, but I want to go with me to take a look, so as not to make trouble." ”

Gu Sixteen got up in surprise and said, "Yes, Master Ban!" Please rest assured that we have a sense of proportion and will not embarrass the class! ”

……

Two hours later, a mighty team set off from Guhe Village.

The four or five hundred militia groups turned into a long dragon, and as they walked, they were all indignantly brandished and brandished their weapons and shouted slogans, "Let's go!" "Let's go!"

These township soldiers, when they were trained to meet the same standards as the Central Plains, all used the Central Plains language as their training slogans, and they themselves did not know the meaning of the slogans they shouted, but they only felt that they were particularly majestic and courageous when they shouted out to march.

Moreover, for the first time they had real weapons.

Although these long knives, spears, and Maruki bows were all trophies captured by the Qi army from Haoqiang and Ezo in the northeast, and were not at all standard armaments of the Great Qi, for the villagers of Guhe Village, this was already a lethal weapon that was impossible to possess before.

There were also villagers leading local dogs, there were more than ten or twenty of them, barking wildly and following the crowd.

Sitting on the ox cart, Lu Ning couldn't help but laugh, this is naturally a habit that he developed before, and now the arms fighting between the villages are really a bit lethal, and they are all brought with them, and they are also lively.

Lu Ning led the general Wang Shengzhong, two Ezo slaves, and twenty samurai to follow behind, and they happened to be sitting on a few ox carts.

There was also Chunxiang who was riding in an ox cart with Lu Ning, this little girl was originally running along, Lu Ning asked her to get in the car, but Gu Sixteen didn't say anything, and carried her into the car, but asked her to serve Master Ban.

In fact, I care about this person's little niece, as long as she follows the "class adult", she will not encounter any danger in the future.

Chunxiang's eyes are still red, it turns out that the "Sister Jing" who was pushed into the water and drowned, often plays with her, and has a good relationship with her.

She clenched her little fists and muttered to herself, "I'm going to kill them all, kill all the villains!" ”

Originally, Lu Ning had a psychology of watching the excitement and seeing if there was a chance to make some benefits, but when he was made by this little guy, his expression became serious.

In fact, there are a lot of dead people, fierce battles, the death toll is sometimes just a number, how many villagers die in this area, where will there be any resonance?

In this world, bloody things have long been numb.

But being messed up by this miserable hairy child, Lu Ning felt that his mentality of smiling and looking at the excitement seemed to be a little wrong.

I originally wanted to tell her two jokes, but at this time, I was secretly embarrassed in my heart, and it was too inappropriate.

I feel that my emotional intelligence is getting lower and lower, because I don't have to consider other people's feelings at all, only others speculate about my own share.

……

Needless to say, hundreds of ashigaru with sharp weapons were immediately swept away by the autumn wind, and the people on the hill cried and shouted for their mothers, and then someone set a fire after the useful things in the houses in Kitanogicho were looted.

With weapons on their bodies and hundreds of people, people's mentality will be completely different, and even many villagers are clamoring to go to the small mountain gate to teach the small mountain people a cruel lesson.

Blood was everywhere in the village, and more than a dozen corpses were scattered everywhere.

Outside the village, the oxcart Chunxiang looked at this scene blankly, forgetting the sadness, those uncles in the village who were very familiar with each other became so crazy and irritable, as if at this moment, she didn't know anyone anymore.

Gu Sixteen wanted to come to ask Lu Ning for advice, but it was Wang Shengzhong who told him that someone would definitely come to Xiaoshanzha, and instead of traveling a long way to Xiaoshanzha, it was better to wait here for work.

Only then did Gu Sixteen give an order to let the villagers rest for a while.

Lu Ning also got off the ox cart and entered Qianmo to see the growth of rice, to say that the area from Guhe to Xiaoshan is indeed one of the essence areas of the Kanto Plain, and the rice ears are full, which can catch up with the Champa rice introduced in the Central Plains.

There was a sound of footsteps on the side, but it was Chunxiang who came over, this little hairy girl was similar to a normal seven, eight, eight or nine-year-old girl in later generations, that is, a little hairy child who had not dried up.

Standing beside Lu Ning, after a while, he said, "Master Ban, I, I want to go home." ”

Lu Ning bowed slightly, "Okay, I'll ask someone to send you back." ”

Just as she was about to call for two samurai to drive her away, Haruka shook her head again: "No, no, Lord Ban, my request is too bold, Ojisan will scold me to death." ”

Lu Ning smiled, raised his hand and put it down again, it is true that it is unreasonable to ask someone to send her back, he is a future generation, and he is very tolerant of the cute little Lori Xiaozhengtai, but this is not the case with people now.

She didn't listen to the adults to light the fire, and she was scolded.

Thinking about it, Lu Ning suddenly looked up to the south, the sound of horses' hooves, and a Japanese horse ran over from the ridge.

The horse is short, long and short-legged, and not good at sprinting, and it is the mount that the lady of the palace "rewarded" to herself.

Lu Ning's heart tightened slightly.

Before he could get closer, Ma Dashan had already turned over and dismounted, ran over out of breath, and handed over a letterhead, saying, "The urgent note of the two palace ladies." ”

Lu Ning bowed slightly, and took it out of the envelope to see that it was Empress Xiao Juanxiu's small characters, which said, Don't come to Guanlai, Chang Lu Jieyuan Manzhong worshiped the great god of Wu Yong in Kashima Shrine, and called on the righteous people in the world to resist Qi.

He called on warriors from all over the world to gather at Kashima Castle to fight for the emperor and expel the Qi people to the sea.

The Righteous Orders sent to various countries similar to the Omon did not mention the Central Army in Kyoto at all.

Speaking of which, there is also a guard guard division in Dongying Kyoto, and the forbidden army established by the Tang Dynasty was general, but these guards have now become a dance team and an honor guard, and their usual duty is to be responsible for the performance of Kagura and the like, although these dancers and musicians are armed with weapons, but they are only used as honor guards.

Yuan Manzhong also knew this very well, and he didn't mention these "Yulin Army" even in the Righteous Order.

As the founder of the Genji samurai group, this Gen Manzhong is naturally the true character of a hero, and Fujiwara Hidego, a wise man with a wild field, ran to pry up, and even ignored the reaction of the ministers of the capital and issued a righteous order without authorization.

Lu Ning frowned slightly, although he knew that if he wanted to truly annex Deyu Mutsu, it was inevitable to completely disintegrate the will of the southern Dongying with a big war, but now, it seems that it will be earlier than the expected time period.

Of course, it is one thing for Yuan Manzhong to issue a righteous and courageous order, and it is another thing for the heroes to respond or not to go to Kashima, from the southern region, hundreds of people from far away mountains and rivers, thousands of people come from the line, these are all warriors, and they have to make trouble, the ministers of the capital may not like to see this scene, and they will be worried that these warriors will take the opportunity to rebel, especially there are many ministers, pinning their hopes on themselves and Yang Ye, and take the initiative to withdraw from the army.

Moreover, the summoning order was not issued from Heiankyo, so there was too much room for maneuver, isolating Kashima, breaking them one by one, and intercepting and killing these so-called volunteers?

pondering, Lu Ning beckoned not far away.

Wang Shengzhong ran over quickly.

"Go and tell Gu Sixteen, set up an ambush, and when you break through the small mountain gate to come to the enemy, then go north to attack the small mountain gate, and I will lead the samurai to help."

In this case, you don't have to be polite to the gate city of Changlu Country.

Wang Sheng received the order and walked away quickly.
