PS: I suddenly found out that there are already a million words, don't you want to give a ticket to encourage it?

Xin'an County, which was only established in the first year of Wanli, compared with the surrounding counties, belongs to the kind of deserted cape, with few people, less arable land, and pirates infested on the islands on the sea.

However, today's Xin'an County Ling Wu Wenming doesn't think so. He even thought he was a blessing in disguise. Those colleagues who were very proud in the past, under their rule are full of mobs who resist food and taxes, although they have not yet developed to the realm of rushing to the state and looting the state and county, but the government is full of fires in the jurisdiction, and the government decree cannot be implemented ten miles out of the city, which is not a good thing!

On the other hand, although Xin'an County is remote, and the powerful forces of local clans are intertwined, and there are relatives in contact with each other, often a government affairs must be discussed with various wang clans before it can be implemented. Among them, there is no discount to return and bargain. But. You can't offend the giant family for the sake of government, but there is a principle that the Ming court knows well, what is it here? What's more, the Bing Jing and Tan Jing that should be collected, the fire consumption, and the floating income, I have not taken a penny less, and among the control of these wealthy families, compared with other places in Guangdong, it can be described as a peaceful paradise!

Not long ago, a fellow villager who served as a staff member by Governor Xiong's side and was responsible for the correspondence sent a secret letter, and Governor Xiong was very satisfied with the five-foot dressing mirror he sent, and had already evaluated him as outstanding in his evaluation. Good news will soon come. When the time comes, you will have to ask for a cup of wine to eat.

is holding a book of poetry in his hand under the eaves of the corridor. Basking in the sun, whispering the gorgeous words of the sages, from time to time picking up the kung fu tea brewed in the purple sand pot on the bamboo table next to him to take a sip, Wu Wenming, the Xin'an County Order, really has the feeling of being a fairy.

However, good things are often disturbed by unsightly characters.

"My lord! My lord! ”

As a pawn who is responsible for public security in Xin'an County, arresting thieves and other missions, he hurriedly broke into the back house.

Wu Wen, the commander of Xin'an County, understood this ignorant classic history at a glance, and dragged out the official dialect of Zhejiang and asked in a nasal voice, "What's the matter?" How panicked was you? Don't lose the official system! ”

The so-called officials crushed people to death at the first level. After he finished reprimanding the classics, he picked up the purple sand teapot and tasted the tea carefully.

"You are a guy from Engong, and you are not on the right path for the imperial examination, what kind of garlic do you pretend to be with Lao Tzu?" Dian Shi secretly cursed in his heart.

"Your Excellency. A large group of bandits were found outside the city moving towards the county seat! It's fast! ”

"Smack!" The small purple sand pot fell off from Wu Wenming's hand. Smashed on the slate.

Outside the city, on the road leading to Xin'an County, bursts of thunder moved from far and near.

Small chaos lives in the city, big chaos lives in the countryside.

Nowadays, almost all over Guangdong are lit by fires and smoke everywhere, all the way from Kowloon. Chen Tianhua paid a little attention to the nearby villages. There is hardly a stockade that has not been walled.

Villages all over the place. There are very strict walls of masonry all around, but the difference is that according to the financial resources and the strength of the village. The obvious reaction is in the construction of the wall. There is that strong village, is to use bluestone masonry to build up the wall, more than two zhang high, the four corners of the fort arrow tower is set up, not so much the wall, it is better to say that the city wall is closer. In addition to the general guarding facilities such as rolling wood and stones in the city, through the telescope in his hand, Chen Tianhua also vaguely saw the figures of several generals' bronze cannons and Buddha machines.

Under the banner marked with the name of the village or the clan fluttering on the head of the city, there are villagers patrolling back and forth from time to time. I think that these villagers are all played by young and strong men in the village.

In the troubled times, who is a soldier and who is a bandit, who is a good citizen, and who is a strong beam, I am afraid it is difficult to say clearly, and the transformation of these roles is too fast. Some simply play several social roles at the same time on an individual.

Looking at the goods piled up high on the four-wheeled carriages in the team, Chen Tianhua couldn't help but sigh, if they were all escorted back and forth for the Han Yuan firm, the task entrusted to him by the lord would be difficult to complete.

However, Chen Tianhua did not know that this move to escort the goods for the Han Yuan firm had a huge pressure and impact on the large and small villages along the road in Xin'an County.

The smoke and dust raised by the rapid march of the men and horses drove the horses to neigh. The ground crushed by the huge vehicle is constantly shaking, looking at that momentum, this team is afraid that there are more than 10,000 people? And all of them are bright armor, and the swords and guns are shining. Occasionally, there were pedestrians walking on the road, and when they bumped into each other, they immediately didn't care about the filth, and immediately jumped into the ditch next to the road to hide, lest they provoke this group of masters to bring disaster to themselves.

On the wall of the village in the distance, a group of villagers kept hiding behind the battlements of the wall, and whispered about the origin of the large group of people in front of them.

Pirates at sea come ashore to trade? Pretty much the same in terms of vehicles, but, will the pirates have so many horses? Would the pirates have such strong infantry? Looking at the momentum of the group of masters in the team, it seems that there are mountains and rivers in front of them, and they are also going to be knocked over and filled!

The guy in his hand looks like an officer and soldier, and those who have seen the world point out that the guy in their hand is the same as the family of several big people. But he didn't use the flag, and he didn't see the big red fat jacket that was common to the officials and soldiers of the imperial court. And so, a terrible thought lifted everyone's hearts to their throats. The well-armed officers and soldiers, without banners and fat jackets, are not soldiers who mutiny? This group of people don't want to come and fight a little village like ours. We are poor here, and if we want to fight, go to the so-called Kam Tin Six Wai in Kam Tin, Wing Lung Wai, Taikang Wai, South Wai, North Wai and San Wai! They are much richer than we are!

And Yonglongwei, who was nagged by them, was very generous under the assignment of the village patriarch to lower the suspension bridge. He opened the gate and ordered someone to carry some tea and snacks to wait on both sides of the road, and invited this group of passers-by to eat snacks and drink tea.

But it's okay. Chen Tianhua and the others were in a hurry, no matter what attitude the siege along the way was, as long as they did not come out to stop them, did not fire at the marching troops on the wall, and ignored the behavior of these villages, whether they hid behind the battlements and whispered, or stood on the wall and pointed and pointed, or put out tea and snacks to entertain. The brigade just rumbled forward. Only a few people were left at the dim sum table, and the deacons of Yonglongwei who were guarding the snack table exchanged a few polite words, leaving a few silver dollars as tea money. Then he ran past them.

Everyone felt that their feet could not help but tremble, and they all trembled with them, and the trees beside them. Dead branches on the ground. It's all shaking. The sound of rolling over the ground was non-stop. After coming for a long time, I finally listened. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and this incident was always avoided. I don't know where this group of masters came from.

Such thoughts also swirled in the mind of Wu Wenming in Xin'an County for a long time.

Looking at the mighty marching procession under the city. His soul was as affected as the villagers.

As a person who spent money to buy Engong and later filled the vacancy in Xin'an County, from his hometown in Zhejiang to Guangdong, he knew the army of the Ming Dynasty relatively well. This armed force is unique on the road from Jiangnan to Lingnan!

"If they attack my county seat, will the county seat be able to defend it?"

Looking at the earth-colored classics around him and the servants of the third class, Wu Wenming couldn't stop playing the drums in his heart.

As if to test the heart function and psychological endurance of everyone in the city, Chen Tianhua took out his pocket watch and glanced at the time hand on the surface. It's been an hour since the last little break.

"Blow the trumpet, stop moving! A small break! ”

A sharp brass trumpet sounded, and the marching team immediately stopped.

"Attention teams! Rest for a quarter of an hour! ”

Suddenly, the marching people relaxed, some unbuttoned their clothes and let the wind blow their sweaty bodies, while others unscrewed the kettle at their waists, poured it together, and then wiped their mouths beautifully, and took the kettle to the cooking cart to fill another pot.

"Your Excellency!"

Seeing that the bustling people under the city seemed to have no rules and guards, and the history of the canons had a little courage, of course, more temptation came from the more than 100 carts. Underneath the high raised tarpaulin, God knows how many good things are hidden.

"Taking advantage of the slackness of this group of people and the slackness of defense, I will lead people out of the city to rush and kill for a while! Fight off the bandits! ”

Wu Wenming glanced at the history with his small eyes, what idea did he have in his heart, Master Wu knew very well in his heart, the purpose was to repel the bandits in the city? But for the hundreds of carts of goods.

"It's okay to go out of the city to fight thieves, don't be greedy and warlike!"

Wu Wenming's mind is very clear, if you want to fight yourself, after the fight, the first credit will naturally be mine, and I will take the first share of the seized goods. However, this kind of thing is going out of the city to kill the enemy, sorry, it's your life!

The history of the canon could hear the hidden mystery in the words of Wu County's order, so he just ran down the horse road and went down the city to gather the people and the leaders of the government to mobilize before the war.

"Lose that Macchidi! Do you want to get rich?! ”

"Yes!"

"Who doesn't want to get rich is a shovel!"

"The group of thieves and birds outside the city, the guys in their hands, and the goods in the car, are all good things, valuable things, if you want to go out of the city with me to eat meat, come with me!"

"! Done! ”

The head of the Minzhuang squad and the third class of officials saw very clearly, and the people outside were as if they were rushing to the market in the polder, and they were not on guard at all. But the knives and guns they placed at random, everyone could see it very clearly, a desperate knife could be sold for five silver dollars in Xin'an County, and a mourning gun could also be sold for three silver dollars. This group of people outside the city is not holding knives and guns in their hands, but pieces of silver dollars with white flowers and shining flowers!

At the opening of the city gate, the history of the canon rode a gelding, under the protection of a big flag, and also fought out of the city majestically, waving a high-grade sword that is said to be produced in Longquan, Zhejiang. Behind him were hundreds of people, officials, and soldiers of the city's garrison. The chaotic team held water and fire sticks, iron rulers, chains, knives and guns and other objects, and rushed to Chen Tianhua's headquarters not far from the city.

"I've seen someone who wants money and doesn't want to die, but I've never seen someone who doesn't want to die!"

Seeing a group of people coming out of the city, they came straight to their own team with a fierce attitude, shouting all kinds of slogans in a mess. It is nothing more than words such as killing thieves, getting promoted and getting rich.

"Array!"

Without waiting for Chen Tianhua to give the order, several battalion officers who accompanied him had already shouted loudly for their subordinates to quickly enter the state of imminent battle from a state of casual rest, and the whole team was like a lion that was still lazily napping in the shade of a tree, opening its bloody mouth, waving its claws, waiting for the prey to come to the door.

The pikemen quickly lined up in the outermost layer of the camp, their five-meter spears raised diagonally outward, like the spikes of a porcupine. Behind the pikemen, rows of swordsmen and musketeers lined up there. Behind the pikemen, the musketeers quickly pulled off the cap. Check the flint. Install the propellant, stuff the lead bullet, and ram it twice with a through strip so that the gunpowder and the projectile can be tightly combined.

With Chen Tianhua, these people went north to Guangdong. They are all the backbone of the first commander and above selected by the Shouhan from each battalion. One by one, they have a lot of experience. It is completely beyond the imagination of the group of people in Xin'an County opposite. To put it mildly, it was against the white-armored soldiers of the Eight Banners Manchuria at this time, and the victory or defeat was also five or five. Maybe the white armor soldiers are more capable of fighting alone than these people. One-on-one, one-on-two, you won't suffer. However, the South China Army implements wolf pack tactics, which one will fight you alone? It's all a bunch of spears!

The canonical history of Xin'an County had just rushed across the moat with the team, and before he had time to contact Chen Tianhua's department, he saw that the people and horses on the opposite side had changed from casual to neat, and the knives, guns and instruments discarded on the ground had been tightly held in his hands and aimed at the direction he was heading. There was a drummer in his heart, so he quietly slowed down.

"Kill!"

Continuing to play the role of a hero, he urged him to sit down and rush towards the opposite side, his eyes already red from the silver burn, and he was oblivious to the changes that had taken place on the other side.

He didn't notice that the leaders of the Minzhuang squad and the leaders of the government servants behind him could see it clearly, there was no way, this group of people walked on the market every day, relying on a pair of eyes, the so-called singles' eyes to compete and clip clipping. I have developed a good ability to check the style. Seeing that the opposite side immediately put on a posture of fighting for their lives in a blink of an eye, this group of people couldn't help but quietly put down their steps. Who can be messed with, who can't be messed with, who can be bullied casually, and who must greet each other with a smile, they know very well.

It's hard to say whether the group of people in front of them want to greet each other with a smile, but looking at this formation, it definitely belongs to the group that can't be provoked.

It's a pity that Master Dianshi doesn't have the experience of the people under him. And so, tragedy happened.

"Puff puff! Burst! ”

The four spearmen galloped forward a few steps briskly, stopping Master Dianshi, who was trying to attack the formation of the Nanzhong Army. Don't talk to each other, just stab with a spear!

Poor Nadian Shi, he still whipped the gelding in the crotch on the buttocks, and the horse was in pain, and was galloping forward, just in time to collide with the four spears that stabbed him!

Two spears pierced the body of the canon, and two strands of blood arrows immediately erupted. The other two spears struck the horse in the chest and abdomen, and the horse fell to the ground with a wail and rolled twice, and saw that he could not live.

And Master Dianshi, who is incomparably wolf, was first pierced through his body by a spear, and the head of a five-foot-long mourning gun easily pierced the cotton armor he was wearing, (not to say how sharp the spear is, you can calculate the speed at which the spear is pierced, plus the speed at which he gallops on his horse, according to Newton's law of acceleration, sorry, the little thing in junior high school physics has long been returned to the teacher.) The long spearhead was covered with blood and showed on his back.

And then it was even more terrifying. The two spearmen are also comrades who have fought side by side for many years, and they know how to use such opportunities to maximize the courage of their opponents. The two of them exhaled together, their front hands lifted up, and their back hands pressed down sharply. "Hey!" Two mourning guns lifted Dianshi from the horse's back, and the spearhead crossed over Dianshi's back, and the steaming blood flowed downward. Such a tragic scene. The hundreds of people who followed behind were all dumbfounded.

It's just a matter of a few breaths, and the Dian Shi has become a skewer on the spear of the human family, what should we do?

Seeing that he was thrown to the ground by the two spearmen together, he was still twisting his body in pain, struggling in vain on the ground covered with his own blood and the blood of his horses, trying to escape in the direction of the county seat, one hand was still grasping something in mid-air, babbling and not knowing what he was shouting, thinking that he was shouting "help." Save me. Something like that. However, under such a strong force, who dares to risk their own lives to touch other people's spears?

"Originally, I thought that many villages and villages seemed to be people, but in fact, when I saw a lot of business and tourists passing by, I didn't mind being a good man who occasionally blocked the road and bought money. Don't say that it is a weak passer-by merchant and ordinary people with few bodyguards and guards, and even the officers and soldiers holding high the banner of the Ming Dynasty dare to rob the food and salary. Unexpectedly, the people in the county town are so unbearable! ”

More than 100 steps away, Chen Tianhua, who was watching in the phalanx, sneered and closed the monocular in his hand.

"My lord, what are we going to do?"

Battalion officer Deng Xianda whispered instructions.

"If you don't give them some color, I'm afraid that every time we walk here in the future, someone will come out to buy the road money! There are so many large and small enclosures in Xin'an County, and the county seat is just one of them, if every enclosure comes out to ask Lao Tzu for money and rob Lao Tzu's team, then what else is Lao Tzu doing?
