Zhang Xianling was told by Master Qian about the pole in this way, and for a while, everyone in the flower hall breathed a sigh of relief, and the haze disappeared, and there was a piece of sunshine.

"There's another piece of news that you don't know yet." The money and grain master also stepped forward and said.

"What's the situation?" Everyone stretched out their necks together and waited for Master Qianliang's next words, only Master Qian ignored it and drank tea leisurely.

"When I came just now, someone reported it, and the man said that just last night, the Zhangjiabao actually went to the water (fire), and the fire burned for half the night, and the thieves shouted for rescue, and it was said that the looted property and food were less than three-four tenths of the stock. In this way, will it not be more difficult to maintain the food and grass of the thief? Isn't that God helping me? He laughed triumphantly.

Zhang Xianling stood up when he heard this, and asked eagerly: "Is this serious?" Isn't Mr. Mo coaxing me? ”

"It's true, and there's absolutely nothing false about it." The sundries master also stepped forward to confirm that this also shows that he is well-informed, and he is not eating dry rice for nothing, taking money and food for nothing.

Master Qian sneered in his heart, he also knew about this matter, but he didn't want to say it, give them two a chance to perform, and let them show off in front of the proprietor, but this is not necessarily a good thing, but he just wants to pull the two guys into the water, and the three of them will form an alliance again. Don't you see that the proprietor is already disgusted with my deception, and now it's time to pull you out together, everyone is together, no matter how dissatisfied the county order is, he doesn't dare to entertain himself.

After being reconfirmed by the two masters, Zhang Xianling's spirit relaxed, and he lay down on the bed weakly, let out a long breath, and muttered in his mouth: "It's good, it's good, if it's like this, it's really God's eyes, take care of me." ”

After a while, Zhang County's order also returned to his calm and normal official authority, and he didn't want anyone to help him, he got out of bed quickly, gave a deep salute to Master Qian and others, and said sincerely: "Thank you, Mr. for some analysis, if it is really as Mr. said, then my county can be guaranteed, and the thief can be peaceful, once the thief goes, I will not break my word, and report to Mr. Shangfeng and other great achievements." ”

The three masters hurriedly got up and returned the salute, thanking the proprietor gratefully, so a good scene of the proprietor was performed in the flower hall.

At this time, there was a chaotic footsteps outside, and the county chief clerk and county clerk also rushed to hear the news, and hurriedly gave the county honor when he came in.

But the county chief represented, and suddenly raised a key question worriedly. "My lord, although it was analyzed by Master Qian, those poles have no combat effectiveness, but these Diao people come up like a swarm every time, it is tens of thousands of men, women and children, people say, ants bite more elephants, it is indeed worrying."

Zhang Xianling was just relieved at this time, and when he was mentioned by the main book, he remembered the scene of tens of thousands of heads flocking to him, and his scalp was numb and frightened.

Master Qian smiled slightly, waved his hand, and said, "Don't worry about this. Seeing that everyone's attention was attracted by themselves again, he was proud, put down the tea bowl, smiled and said to the master book and the room full of humanity: "In fact, you don't have to worry, first, the poles lack offensive and defensive tools, only a few wooden ladders, and secondly, those poles captured the grain and grass of Zhangjiabao, and there was not much left of the fire last night. ”

At this time, the master bookkeeper once again raised a sharp question, "That's true, but after all, the thieves are powerful, and if they have no food and grass, they will inevitably fight the trapped beasts, so who do we rely on to defend the city and resist the thieves' desperate blow?" His face was full of anxiety.

This said, the whole house immediately fell into a dead silence, yes, even if the thieves are unbearable, and then there is a shortage of food and grass, but for the sake of life's money and food, they will definitely attack desperately when they have the strength, so looking at the county town, which one can take on the responsibility of guarding?

A clerk stepped forward and whispered, "Don't we still have guards here?" No matter how unbearable it is, it is also an official army, and after eating all these years of food and salary, it should take on the responsibility of defending the city. ”

When he said this, the room full of people immediately showed disdain.

At the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Hong Wuye implemented the system of separating military and civilian registration, and the peasants who were organized into military households became soldiers for generations. The government organized them according to the establishment of the guard station and carried out tuntian. Defend the city along the border guard post for three points, and plant for seven points; The interior is divided into two to defend the city, and eight is divided into tun. Each sergeant was given fifty acres of land and cattle and farming tools. Two-tenths of the harvest was given to the sergeants for their own consumption, and the rest was used as food and storage for the officers of the Honke. Under this system, the government only supervises the situation in the tuntian, and does not pay salaries. However, later, the law was born for a long time, and most of the army's tuntian was seized by officers, Haoyou, and internal supervisors. The strong and powerful city officials and tenants, the old, weak, sick and disabled were abandoned on the road, so in order to maintain the guard system, the imperial court had to implement a disguised recruitment system, and as a result, the money and grain issued were even more intermittent, and at the end of the middle ticket, the empty amount continued, and there was little left in the hands of those soldiers, and there was no money and food for nearly a year.

"You go and see, those thousand households in our county, hehe, you also know, nominally a thousand people, but how many empty amounts did those thousand households eat? How many soldiers were persecuted to run? How many tenants did you turn the soldiers into? How many are left? Everyone knows it. The county said this, his eyes were already full of disdain.

"Although the pickled goods are the people who lead the troops, they are dispatched by the imperial court to defend this rice fat, but the peace over the years has long become a wine bag and rice bag, you go and ask, can he still use the knife?" Zhang Xianling also sneered with disdain.

"What the proprietor is saying is that the pickled goods are indeed incompetent." The main book also echoed with disdain, Da Ming already valued literature over martial arts, and if he was a literati, he despised the martial artist Qiu Baji. The people, who thought themselves scribes, also looked down on him in their hearts

"The proprietor, no matter how incompetent those pickled goods are, but after all, they are still soldiers, more or less trained, and our county is also equipped with offensive and defensive equipment, and it can be dealt with by defending the city." Master Qian stopped those lords' contempt for martial artists, and sighed secretly, "When is this?" Still despise the warriors like this, can the city guard count on you, literati who can only talk and play lipsticks? In that case, I'd better pack up and run away early.

"Led by the soldiers of the thousand households, the proprietor will then carry out the power of signing Ding, our entire county can also sign out a three thousand, and then in the gentry's house to recruit a thousand people to protect the courtyard family is no longer a problem, plus the old man here can also have three hundred, all of them are life-saving, once the city is broken, it is the result of the burning of jade, everyone understands this truth and will go all out, so that a total of five thousand can be obtained, with the knives and guns in the arsenal, according to the high city deep trench and defended, Five thousand well-fed and well-fed are enough for forty thousand old and weak rabble. Master Qian said with confidence.

Another master also followed; "Also, as long as we tell the landlords outside the city to hold the fort and not be broken by the thieves to get food, and then mobilize those old fortunes to take the nearby villagers with grain into their respective villages, one to strengthen the Zhuangzi guards, and the other to cut off the thieves' food and manpower sources, this is called Jianbi Qingye. I think that those tens of thousands of thieves, as long as we hold on, wait for two or three days, say five or seven days, as long as the thieves have exhausted their food, we will definitely break the siege and leave, then we will be fine? Hahaha. "In other words, there is a great state of Kong Ming in the world, and everything is like a god.

"The students are even more foolish, I think the proprietor will keep it, and if he doesn't keep it, he will keep it." Master Qian Liang said and looked at Zhang Xianling with his eyes.

Zhang Xianling asked anxiously: "What did Mr. just say about it?" ”

Seeing that the proprietor's appetite was aroused, the master said proudly; "Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, he is going to make great efforts to govern and rectify the place, but the proprietor was holding the eunuch party before, although several means came down, and he had to get rid of suspicion, but after all, there was already a prejudice in the eyes of the Qinglius, and these things were the most impersonal, and it was the most impersonal to say, I can't say that one day the gang of Qingliu was not filial piety in place, and turned his face, and the proprietor was ruined, so this time the proprietor wanted to save his life and future, and he must fight, only the proprietor has this military exploit in his body, which is the biggest talisman, and the most unreasonable is also his life."

Hearing this, Zhang County's order suddenly brightened, the things that still bothered him may be solved in this time, as long as he does everything to ensure that the county is not lost, that is the county order of Daming with military merits, this great merit is in hand, Zhang Yuan's hand and eye are all over the sky and he has nothing to do, I can't say that I can still be promoted, thinking of this, Lao Huai Dachang, he said with a smile; "Okay, what Mr. said is very true, a few people are really my brains, when the thieves retreat, I will reward you well."

At this time, the sundries master stepped forward and said with a smile; "The proprietor is slow to be happy, and he has to bother the proprietor to write a letter, and send a competent person to report to the governor of Yan'an overnight to ask for help."

"Why is that?" Zhang Xianling was puzzled, laughing at him for not knowing the current officialdom, and patiently explained: "Since we can solve it ourselves, what kind of soldiers do we have to ask the government to ask for?" In addition, the attack of this thief is imminent, even if there are rescuers, it is far away and the water does not quench the thirst of the near, you also know, first, the northern Tatars are harassed at this time, and there are no soldiers to send in the house, and second, now the upper dislike places tell the bandits that they are not clean. Even if I tell it, I still have to wait for myself to solve it, and don't alarm Kyori, so that I don't have to find a scolding for no reason, and then ruin my own performance in the evaluation. ”

"The proprietor's words are fallacious, what Mr. Zhao said is very true, and the soldiers who can't ask for it also ask for it." Master Qian just smiled slightly, and said something slowly.
