In the evening, Xu Shiyang had dinner, and he would convene the management of the 15th Tun system to hold a small summary meeting on the day's work, talk about the difficulties encountered in the work, whether there are solutions, and report on the material reserves, the production progress ......of various weapons, so that everyone can have a number in their hearts, etc., etc., etc.

Originally, Zhao Shan helped him do some paperwork, but now he can only come by himself.

Xu Shiyang felt that he was a spinning top, and there was always an invisible whip on him, which kept him busy.

At the beginning of July, the invisible whip was drawn again.

News suddenly came from the first and second tuns of the family, saying that the Tartars might go south to plunder this year, and asked all the dock fort owners to immediately go to the Yitun ancestral hall for a meeting.

Xu Shiyang was stunned for a moment after getting the news, he only came last year, why did he come again this year? Isn't it customary to tartar once every 2 or 3 years?

I thought that the new army still had time to develop slowly and step by step, but if the news was true, it should now enter a state of readiness.

It was a big deal for the Tartars to go south, and Xu Shiyang didn't dare to slack off, so he immediately rode a fast horse and rushed to Yitun first.

Later, he learned that because after the Japanese rebellion, the sea around Rizhao was much calmer, and some merchant ships from Liaodong and Goryeo began to choose to anchor in Rizhao.

Those Liaodong maritime merchants brought Jurchen Tartars, and had already given the order to assemble troops to enter the customs and plunder after the autumn harvest this year.

It is said that it is the Jurchen and the Jurchen (fishskin Tartar) tribe under the control of Dajin, and one of the two is drawn. Han Chinese, Bohai, Khitan, Goryeo slaves, three or four Ding draw one.

According to this requirement for sending troops, the Jurchen Tartars could dispatch 50,000 to 60,000 armored soldiers, about the same number of slave auxiliaries.

"What else is there in the Central Plains that is worth robbing so many people?"

Xu Shiyang said sarcastically:

"An army of 100,000, can't grab something and they eat grass back? Or did they have confidence in their sailors and planned to cross the river to attack Jiangnan? ”

"Probably headed for Jianghuai." Xu Shisong guessed: "I heard that this year, the Jurchen Tartars were robbed by the grassland Tartars, and they were tyrannical and killed a lot of slaves by themselves. ”

"Then Jianghuai will become a hell on earth again this year."

"If it hits the Yangtze River, it will probably force the imperial court to increase the New Year's coin, which is also a big fat supplement for the Tartars."

"Hehe, the court ......." Xu Shiyang sneered, full of contempt for the small court of the Southern Zhou Dynasty.

As far as the slave sampan sailors of the Jurchens were concerned, they could not break through the Yangtze River defense line at all, and the Southern Zhou court was actually invincible, but they just handed over the New Year's coins to the Jurchens on time for ten years, and they did not dare to blow up the thorns at all.

It is estimated that the Tartar army hit the Yangtze River and shot a few arrows to the south, and they could really agree to increase the New Year's coin.

"That's it! How the court is, how Jianghuai is, it's not something we can control! Xu Mujiang anxiously knocked on the armrest of the chair and said loudly: "Take care of yourself first!" ”

"Third brother, you killed a Tartar Mouke last year, and this year's father is coming to take revenge! A Meng'an! Don't talk about a thousand armor soldiers! What can we resist? ”

Xu Shiyang glanced at Xu Mujiang and said in a contrived tone:

"Uncle Ming, last year, I killed a Mouke alone in one fort, and this year, our 18 forts (Xu Shiyang's subordinates are still only one), each strength is not comparable to last year, and it has formed an alliance with other 5 powerful companies."

"How many people can there be in a Meng'an? It's just ten tricks to break through the sky, what are you afraid of him doing? If he really comes, it will be better! Wouldn't it be wonderful to kill him and grab some armor and horses? ”

If this were a cartoon, Xu Shiyang would probably be able to see the black line in the corner of everyone's eyes.

He himself is indeed full of confidence, the main force of the Jurchens will not come to Juzhou, a poor and remote place, they will go to Jianghuai to rob the population, and they will also coerce Da Zhou to increase the New Year's currency, there are many things.

At most, the father of Haihuli came to avenge his son, but a Meng'an has ten Mouke, and the whole gang is only 1,500 soldiers here (according to the establishment of a Meng'an is 3,000 ding, and two Ding is calculated as one), Juzhou and Rizhaowubao coalition forces can mobilize 15,000 people after the autumn harvest, who is afraid of whom?

There are really people who are afraid, and there are really many people who are afraid.

To be precise, except for Xu Shiyang, Xu Shiliu, and Xu Shisong, the other castle masters of the Xu family are afraid of Tartars, including Luan Tingyu and Sun Li, but they are afraid to different degrees.

So as soon as Xu Shiyang spoke, except for these three boys, everyone else shrank back.

"Third brother! Last time you were a fluke! This time there are thousands of golden soldiers, you can't count on luck anymore! ”

Xu Mujiang opened his mouth and reprimanded:

"This big golden soldier is different from the Japanese bandits, and they are not bandits! At the beginning, hundreds of thousands of troops in the Great Zhou Dynasty collapsed, what can we do with thousands of militiamen? ”

"What do you want to do, uncle?" Xu Shiyang asked, "That Tartar is here to take revenge." ”

"After the autumn harvest, all the family members and belongings in the family have to hide on Fulai Mountain." Xu Mujiang felt that this nephew's tone didn't seem right, he frowned and said, "Also, each family has prepared double tributes from previous years, and prepared another three hundred dingkou for them, and the big golden soldiers should let us ......." ”

"his grandma's big golden soldier! It's just a bunch of barbarians! That's a tartar! ”

Xu Shiyang suddenly broke out, he was busy for a year, he was not idle, he dragged his whole family to fight bandits and robbers, and gave some of everything seized to his relatives, and many times he even took the initiative to take the loot that did not match his merits without complaining.

The owners of the dock fort seized a little gold and silver, and took it to Jiangnan to buy all kinds of luxury goods, and it is said that Xu Shibai also bought a thin horse! And he had a penny to buy food for military training, ate the same as the soldiers, wore rough linen clothes, never said to buy a few silk clothes, and had a new cotton jacket to wear in winter.

After a whole year of hard work, they desperately dragged the whole family forward, and when they heard that the Tartars were coming, they still shrank back!

They want to take the initiative to hand over the women to the tartars!

They will voluntarily hand over men to the Tartars as slaves!

A feeling of grievance and helplessness filled Xu Shiyang's chest, and he shouted and jumped angrily in the center of the hall of the Xu family ancestral hall, pointing to the ancestral tablets behind the first three masters and scolding like crazy:

"When did the Xu family become Tartars? Why is it called Tartar Daikin? Where did Daikin come from? Whose Daikin? Are we the people of Narauszi Dajin? ”

"A bunch of Tartars have scared you like this, giving you money and food, and men and women, why don't you send your wives to the Tartars!! Why haven't the ancestors of the Xu family been revived by your cowards!! ”

"Xu Shiyang! Don't go too far! Xu Mujiang stood up and scolded loudly: "This is the ancestral hall of the Xu family!" It's not a place for you to go wild! ”

"This is the place to go wild! If that Tartar comes to the ancestral hall to spread wild, do you dare to stop them! Do you dare to take a knife and cut them!! ”

Xu Shiyang pointed to his chest and roared hysterically:

"I dare !!"
