Chapter 39: The Movement of the Wenju People
"My lord, Xiong Jiachang and Yu Zhong are back."
Back at the Black Tiger Village, the guards immediately stepped forward to report.
"Oh? What about people? Wang Zezhi stretched his neck and looked around.
"I'm waiting for you in the Loyal Hall."
When Wang Zezhi heard this, he hurriedly ran in.
There were six people standing in the lobby, four Xiong Jiachang, and Yu Zhong led an officer and soldier with a bow and arrow on his back.
"Your Excellency." Xiong Jiachang and Yu Zhong bowed down when they saw Wang Zezhi.
"How's the recruitment going?"
Xiong Jiachang rubbed his hands and didn't know how to speak, Yu Zhong bowed lower.
"My lord, there are a lot of displaced people in Yuxian County, but there are very few who are willing to come, and they say that they would rather starve to death than be thieves."
This is the people, as long as they have a bite to eat, even if it is weeds and bark, they do not want to be thieves.
Wang Zezhi's heart tightened, didn't he recruit someone?
"Only three hundred and twenty people came, of which sixty were young and strong, and the others were old and weak women and children, and the villain arranged them in the village to the east of Heihu Village.
Although the fields there are barren, they are all good fields, and there are still water sources.
The villain used some connections to buy cattle and ploughing tools, so that those young people could cultivate the wasteland.
However, the small ones did not give them the land, and the adults still had to do it. ”
Xiong Jiachang made everything clear, the point was that he used his connections to buy cattle, which means that the 1,000 taels of silver given to him were spent.
This is very easy to understand, and it can be said that they are all ground snakes, and it is normal to have some connections.
Xiong Jiachang is also a person who knows how to measure, he did not make his own decisions to divide the land to the people, but left it to Wang Zezhi.
"Okay, very good, Xiong Jiachang, you have made meritorious service."
Wang Zezhi patted Xiong Jiachang on the shoulder, wrote a letter of appointment, and appointed Xiong Jiachang as the deputy platoon leader.
Wang Zezhi told him to hand over those young men to Li Hua tomorrow, and then asked Li Hua to bring Xiong Jia Chang to the notice and tell him what the deputy platoon commander was.
"Yu Zhong, what's your situation?"
"Adult, small one only brings one."
"Alone?" Wang Zezhi frowned, staring at the officer and soldier suspiciously, this person is worth a thousand taels?
Wang Zezhi was a little skeptical.
"My lord, this man is very good at archery." Yu Zhong saw Wang Zezhi's doubts and immediately explained.
"Xiuxiuxiu~" Wang Zezhi breathed, and the man shot out five arrows in a row, and the arrows did not enter the wall.
"Your Excellency, stay." Wang Zezhi quickly ran down and bowed in front of the man, because he knew that he had neglected this person, and this person was dissatisfied.
Generally, people with ability have this temperament.
The man snorted and ducked.
"Your Excellency, please accept my worship." Wang Zezhi was extremely sincere and bowed again.
The man avoided again, and the king bowed again.
"Please bow down to me!"
Wang Zeyi bowed three times in a row, and the man finally softened.
"Why bother?" He asked Wang Zezhi bluntly.
Wang Sanlang, the archer, is extremely good at archery, not only has no missing arrows, but also has an extremely fast rate of fire.
He was originally a garrison officer and soldier in Shouyang County, but because of his ability, he was jealous of the officials and could not be reused, so he was always depressed.
Because he is upright and rigid, he is not liked by his colleagues, and his temperament gradually becomes withdrawn.
This time he met Wang Zezhi's cheekiness, and was invited into the Zhongyi Hall by him three times.
At this moment, Wang Sanlang and Wang Zezhi drank wine, ate meat and fists, and talked about the grievances in their stomachs from time to time, especially when he was twenty-eight years old and couldn't even ask for his mother-in-law, he became extremely resentful.
"Hello brothers, six-six-six... Hey, you lose, you lose, drink, drink! ”
"Drink it." Wang Sanlang drank it all, rolled up his sleeves unconvinced, and then stroked his fist, he didn't believe that he couldn't win.
The two drank from noon to midnight, and of course most of the wine was drunk by Wang Sanlang.
Wang Zezhi looked at the drunken Wang Sanlang and ordered someone to help him into the room.
Yu Zhong, who had been waiting at the door of Zhongyi Hall, came over at this time, he felt that he had not done a good job, and he was a little weak-hearted.
He already knew that Qi Qi's one hundred taels of silver attracted forty young people, and Xiong Jiachang was much stronger than him, not only young and strong, but also more than two hundred people.
"My lord, there are twenty-three people in the Shouyang County garrison who are willing to respond.
They sent news that Wen Juren had instructed his family to gather 786 gangs, as well as 116 county garrisons, 47 government officials, and 20 prison officials, and attack the Black Tiger Village five days later. ”
"Almost thousands."
Wang Zezhi was calm on the surface, but he was shocked inside.
This Wenju person has such a great energy, he has been in the show for so long, and the young and strong are not more than 100, this Wenju person has gathered thousands of people in such a short period of time, it seems that this is preparing to capture the Black Tiger Village in one go.
There are helpers, guards, officials, and wardens, and they are really the officials and gentry.
"My lord, there's another piece of grapevine." Yu Zhong said with some hesitation.
"Say."
"Jia Cai, maybe... Probably ran away, Shouyang County's Chinese men met Jia Cai in Taiyuan Province, and Jia Cai seemed to be preparing to flee south. ”
"Run, run." For Wang Zezhi, it is very cost-effective to measure a person's loyalty and treachery for 1,000 taels of silver.
Yu Zhong stood motionless in the lobby, and Wang Zezhi wrote at the desk, and he didn't dare to raise his head.
"Okay, from today on, you are my most powerful shadow, responsible for infiltration, directly responsible for me, this is your appointment."
Yu Zhong excitedly held the appointment given to him by Wang Zezhi and looked at it seriously.
"The secret spy guard is responsible for infiltrating various county seats, passes, and collecting intelligence..."Yu Zhong gasped and looked at Wang Zezhi in shock.
"My lord, are you trying to rebel?"
Wang Zezhi crossed his fingers, looked at Yu Zhong strangely and said, "Haven't you already done this kind of thing?" ”
Yu Zhong thought about it carefully, and it seemed to be too.
"I'll give you a new task, be sure to find out the specific time, number, weapons and equipment of the Wenju people to attack the village, and it is best to rebel against some people and give him a fatal blow at the critical moment."
"Yes."
"This matter is a matter of life and death, you can do it now, bring some silver, bring as much as you can, if you can't do it, you must come back alive."
"The subordinates will not disgrace their lives."
Yu Zhong was like discovering a new continent, his face flushed, and he excitedly took the order.
What he did was related to the life and death of the entire Black Tiger Village, and he was no worse than Qi Qi and Xiong Jia.
After Yu Zhong left, Wang Zezhi called Li Hua and Xiong Jiachang, and he instructed Xiong Jiachang to recruit all the young men and women he had recruited to the stockade.
The young men were assigned to Li Hua for training, and Li Hua also had one more colleague, he was the archer Wang Sanlang.
Tomorrow, Wang Zezhi, Li Hua, and Wang Sanlang will take turns to train these young people, and they must train a group of combatants in the shortest possible time.
In addition, Xiong Jiachang recruited homeless people to also recruit, as long as they came, each person would have three dollars of silver and five buckets of rice grain.
He needed men to dig trenches, to keep horses and spikes, and to roll rocks and wood.
As for the golden juice, a sharp weapon for defending the city, he thought about it again and again, but he still didn't plan to use it, the most important thing was that this thing was too smelly, and it would be difficult to clean it up when the time came.
After Wang Zezhi arranged these, he took a bath and slept.
Nothing was said all night.
