Chapter 67: I Have to Fight

It's hard to be a husband, and it's even harder to be a father! My wife has just been discharged from the hospital, but my son has been hospitalized again because of a severe respiratory infection! It's hard! It's so hard to calm down with codewords! The son is bigger than the sky! I have to accompany him in the hospital for a few days, fortunately, there is still a little manuscript saved, otherwise this time it would have been ironclad! The manuscript is presented, and the outbreak is estimated to be out of play for the time being! Sorry brethren! )

"What a thing, it's clear that Lao Tzu is aiming very accurately, but why is it still missing?" Xiao Tianjian muttered.

Yan Chongxi followed and walked over, with a slight hint of mockery on his face, and said to Xiao Tianjian: "I don't know if I have a plate in my hand, this thing is really not easy to use, it is only more than thirty steps, it is difficult to hit people, but the plate is still rubbing the edge of the tree, which is already good!" If you want to hit someone fifty steps away, you can really only count that person's life as bad! Seventy steps away, don't even think about it! It's almost as good as scaring people!

Besides, this thing has limited power, but it's okay within fifty steps, thirty steps can break armor, fifty steps can knock down someone without armor, and seventy steps want to kill someone, unless that person is naked! And just hit the key point! ”

After listening to Yan Chongxi's words, Xiao Tianjian was really discouraged by the power of the musket in this era, this thing really doesn't have much advantage over bows and arrows, and the accuracy may not be as good as a skilled archer! At least the archer can control the accuracy of the arrows, but it's all up to luck! The shooter also runs the risk of exploding himself and accidentally kills himself! No wonder Yan Chongxi doesn't like to see this thing so much, it's really rubbish!

"That's it! Better than nothing! Let's make do with it first! The quality of these guys is too poor, and if it is built by Seiko, it should be much more powerful! You can't just say that muskets don't work because these things are rubbish! In the future, I will find a way to make some powerful ones to open your eyes! You go and pick out the new recruits who can use this thing, and start working in a while! Xiao Tianjian reluctantly threw the gun to Yan Chongxi and said to him.

If it weren't for this fire with Wang Tianlong, Xiao Tianjian would be able to fight this Fan Jiabao or not, after all, he still has a little food in reserve, enough for his subordinates to cope with it for a while!

But now, he has to stay here and take the risk of continuing to attack Fanjiabao, not for anything else, just because the people he has to feed now have nearly two hundred more people at once, far more than his ability to store grain, and he must immediately obtain a considerable amount of grain to support it, otherwise so many people are hungry, it is impossible to follow him, this is the way of the world, if you have money and food, someone will follow you, no money and no food, hum! I'm sorry, not many people will go hungry with you!

So since the morning and Wang Tianlong's fire, Xiao Tianjian has been thinking about this question of whether to fight or not, and after he subdued so many of Wang Tianlong's subordinates and dozens of Fanjiabao's tenants, he made up his mind to continue fighting.

But how to fight? Xiao Tianjian has no better way at the moment, he can only learn Wang Tianlong's method first, and ponder while fighting, but first of all, he has to solve the problem of people's hearts, now he has so many people, most of them have just surrendered to him, it is difficult to ensure that people's hearts will fluctuate, the first thing to solve is that these people must be mobilized first.

After eating, everyone was gathered by Xiao Tianjian again, because they had just merged and had not integrated each other, so Xiao Tianjian could only separate the new old men, seven people who could use muskets were singled out, and several archers were also selected and formed a separate group, and the remaining new recruits were unified into a brigade and handed over to Yan Chongxi for temporary command.

About 200 people began to assemble outside Fanjiabao again, and the atmosphere began to tense again.

"Brethren! Yesterday's events are in the past! There is no need to mention grievances and grievances! But now you are my brothers! I want to ask you, what are we doing here? Do you all remember? Xiao Tianjian stood on a mound in front of the team and asked everyone below in a loud voice.

"Come and hit Zhuangzi......" The people below immediately replied loudly.

"Good! If only I hadn't forgotten about it! I'll ask you again! Why can these old fortunes ride on our heads? Why should we be poor and starving, but they are all full of fat? Why do we work hard all year round and can't even eat enough, while they, the officials and the landlords, are guarding a lot of grain and are comfortable? Why do we starve to death, but they don't care about us? Xiao Tianjian stood on the mound and continued to ask loudly to the people below.

At this moment, everyone looked at each other, and some couldn't figure it out! Because the vast majority of these people have been born in poor families since childhood, and they have lived like this since childhood, few people have thought about these problems at all, and many people even think that their lives are not good, they are born poor, and they should suffer the sin of living! The reason why I am doing this now is only because I can't live anymore, so I desperately beg for food! Suddenly, Xiao Tianjian asked them these questions, and they really didn't know how to answer.

Xiao Tianjian glanced at these subordinates and knew that they would definitely not be able to answer, so he continued to say loudly: "You definitely can't answer!" Oh well! Now I'll tell you why! It's because of this bastard world and this damn system! Officials and rich people can not pay food, but all the taxes of the imperial court have to be borne by us poor people, so we will become poorer and poorer! I can't complain about others, I can only blame this damn court and the mediocrity of the officials! They don't care if we live or die! That's why we had to do this!

Since this world forces us to do this, then we can only beg these damn local tyrants and old fortunes for a way to live! If the imperial court and these rich people don't pity us, then we can't pity them! Our lives can only be in our own hands, in order to survive, we can only rob the fuck! Only by robbing these immoral local tyrants can we survive! Do you understand?

By whom will this world depend? Only by relying on our own hands, to fight, to grab, can we live! Otherwise, even if you starve at the door of these rich people, no one will pity you! Do you understand? ”

Xiao Tianjian stood on the mound of soil, kept waving one hand, barely stopped breathing, and said such a long sentence at once with a breath! When he stopped, even he admired his level of speech, but he didn't expect him to be able to speak so much now, compared to before, his eloquence now seems to have improved a lot!

For these people, he can only explain to them in as easy to understand words as possible, which is also what he can think of at the moment, although he knows a lot of revolutionary principles, but it is obviously impossible to want to instill them all in these mud legs for a while, so he started with the most obvious thing, that is, to encourage these people to sacrifice their lives to fight him first, so that they can understand that they have a high-sounding reason for this robbery!

This is easy to understand, after listening to these people, they really think about it, most of the good land in the world is occupied by these officials and local tyrants and inferior gentry by all means, and the common people can only plant some thin land, which is not counted, these local tyrants and inferior gentry also try their best not to pay taxes, all kinds of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes are basically pressed on the heads of their ordinary people, at the end of the year, planting some food, is not enough to pay all kinds of messy taxes to the government, not to mention tenants, If you have to rent the land of these local tyrants and inferior gentry, the taxes you bear will be heavier, and the whole family will not be able to eat a few full meals throughout the year.

But they have also seen that the food hoarded in the homes of these old rich people is enough for them to eat for many years, and now in a disaster year, these old rich people have covered the food tighter one by one, and they have not taken it out at all to help the victims, and the price of food has been made higher and higher by them, and how many people are starving to death like this.

They are all people who have gone through these things, as long as someone gives them a little light, they will naturally understand, and after listening to Xiao Tianjian's words, they can't help but become more and more angry the more they think about it, and they all begin to cheer up.

It was still Xiao Tianjian, the old brothers, who immediately raised the weapons in their hands one by one and shouted: "Understood! Fuck it! ......" When the rest of the people heard this, they all shouted with these people, and more than 200 people shouted together, which was really not small, gathered together, like rolling thunder, rolling towards the distance of the sky.

This roar naturally spread to Fanjiabao, which surprised everyone in the Fan family, and their faces turned pale with fright.

Fan Laocai trembled and hurriedly shouted to Zhuang Ding: "Listen! Listen, is there still a royal law here? Today, my surname Fan will leave the next sentence, our Fan family is counting on you to keep this fort, as long as you keep our Zhuangzi, my surname Fan will never treat you badly! And you've all seen it, if you let these poles in, no one will be able to please them! I have here for you to eat and drink, if our Fan family is broken, where can you go? If they dare to fight, you will beat me hard, beat them out for me, and I will reward you with two taels of silver for killing one, even if you kill them, even if my surname Fan is broken, I will give you a reward of silver! Also, hurry up and kill the pigs, let these brothers have enough, and leave everything to you! ”

This Fan Laocai is really afraid, he can also see that this matter will obviously not be good, if he doesn't come up with something affordable to motivate these Zhuang Ding, I'm afraid he won't be able to pass this level! Although this money is painful to spend, it is much better than Zhuangzi being broken by a pole and killing their whole family! Therefore, he couldn't care about being stingy at this time, and announced in public that as long as he killed a pole, he would be rewarded with two taels of silver, wanting to encourage these villagers to give him his life.

Fan Laocai said this, Zhuang Ding is really energetic, two taels of silver is not easy to earn, usually they can't get two taels of silver for a few months, Fan Laocai is also a bitter and mean person, although he usually manages the rice, but the food they eat is very general, at most the coarse grain can eat half full, it is basically impossible to eat better, now Fan Laocai agreed to take out the silver to reward the enemy, and also kill the pig to reward them, so that they were really excited, and they all hurriedly thanked Fan Laocai, saying that Fan Lao Cai is benevolent!

Only the strong man surnamed Luo squinted at Fan Laocai, with a look of disdain on his face, and scolded secretly: "Old boy, are you scared now? I'm willing to spend money! Lao Tzu told you a long time ago to let you move the tenants outside to the village, but you didn't listen, let you take out more food, let these villagers eat well, practice more every day, you are reluctant, now you know that you are in a hurry? I'm afraid it's too late! ”
