"The village chief is back, the village chief is back." The people on the dock said one after another.

On the boat, Xu Guanzhong said: "It turns out that you are still the village chief, disrespectful and disrespectful." ”

Yan Huaiyuan said with a smile: "It's just a small village chief, Captain Xu said with a smile." ”

"Don't treat the village chief as a cadre, we think the position of the village chief is very important." Xu Guanzhong said.

Yan Huaiyuan, Xu Guanzhong and others docked on the boat, and the village came to help clean up the seafood on the ship, but everyone was not very happy, Yan Huaiyuan found that everyone's expressions were strange, and asked: "What happened in the village, you are not happy one by one." ”

When everyone saw that Xu Guanzhong and other outsiders were present, it was not easy to say, Xu Guanzhong said: "Let's go to the side first, and you can talk." ”

Yan Huaiyuan said: "Just say it, this Captain Xu is not an outsider, a distinguished guest from the Great Song Dynasty, and he also brought us wine." "Everyone saw the good wine in the five jars, and when they opened the lid, the wine was fragrant.

A majestic descendant said: "Uncle, just now the Tunu people came again, let our village pay off 100,000 catties of smoked fish within ten days, otherwise we will burn the house." ”

"What, didn't you say last time that you only received 50,000 catties, when did it become 100,000 catties?" Yan Huaiyuan said, "What's going on with Kuohai's cheeks, it seems to be a little red. ”

It turned out that this majestic descendant was called Yan Kuohai, who was Yan Huaiyuan's nephew and the leader of the strong men in the village.

"It's okay, uncle. The Tunu people asked me to pay 100,000 catties of smoked fish, and I argued twice, and they wanted to hit people, so I fought with them, but I didn't suffer, I got a punch in the cheek, and the guy kicked me twice in the stomach. Yan Kuohai said.

This young man looks to be in his twenties, with a long tiger's back, a bear's waist, and a tall horse. The most important thing is that he is a fisherman by the sea and is very familiar with the sea.

Yan Huaiyuan hated and said: "The Great Liao Kingdom doesn't come here to collect taxes, they Tunu people want to slander people because of their large numbers, one mouth is 100,000 catties of smoked fish, when smoked fish is so easy to make, the fish in the summer is easy to spoil, how to smoke?" Don't give a catty, Kuohai, are you afraid of death? ”

Yan Kuohai said: "I'm afraid of a ball, as long as my uncle says a word, I dare to go up to the sword mountain and the sea of fire." ”

"Okay, you gather the strong men in the village, all those over fifteen years old and under fifty years old go to the village entrance under the big tree for a meeting, and we will discuss things." Yan Huaiyuan said.

"Okay." Yan Kuohai went to work.

Yan Huaiyuan turned his head to Xu Guanzhong and said: "Let you see the joke, this Tunu people are a big village nearby, they are occasionally fishing, mainly relying on reindeer, cattle, horses and some land for a living, but their village has a lot of people, there are ** thousand people, so we often let a few small villages near us pay taxes." ”

Xu Guanzhong said with a smile: "It's okay, Village Chief Yan is busy with business first, let's come here to see the situation in the village." ”

Yan Kuohai went to gather the strong men in the village, and it didn't take long to gather all the mustards, but the number of Zhuang Ding was not too many, only more than one hundred and fifty people, and the others were either old people or children, as well as women.

Yan Huaiyuan stood under the big tree and said: "Everyone must know about today's matter, the Tunu people want 100,000 catties of smoked fish, even when the Great Liao State collected taxes and fees in the past, it was not so heavy. Smoked fish is not only to catch fish, but more importantly, to smoke with fire, which is more difficult to make. Unless everyone is willing to take out all the smoked fish for the winter and give it to the Tunu people. ”

Of course, the people in the village were not happy, and said: "Even squirrels have to keep the food for the winter, let's give them the fish for the winter, and what will we eat when the weather is cold in the winter?" ”

Yan Huaiyuan said: "The Tunu people don't let us live well, and we can't continue to be weak, there are those who are willing to work with them to go back and get the guys, and from today onwards, they will take turns on duty, as long as the Tunu people dare to be tough, they will definitely give them some color." ”

"Okay, okay, them." After all, they are northerners, and the people in the cold and freezing environment are strong, of course, there are a few people who have concerns, but it is not good to show it at this time, Yan Huaiyuan found a harpoon, Yan Kuohai has a simple knife, but the blade is rolled. It didn't take long for the others to come back, but most of them were harpoons, after all, they were fishermen, and this kind of harpoon was still very useful for fishing, and it was not necessarily easy to fight.

Yan Huaiyuan arranged for Yan Kuohai to take everyone to train and train, but this Yan Kuohai is more powerful, bolder, and his personal force is not low, but obviously he doesn't know how to fight, just take everyone to stab the grass man, practice with each other and so on.

Yan Huaiyuan brought Xu Guanzhong and others home, this house is shabby enough, there are no walls, only a fence surrounded by tree trunks, five low mud walls, and the roof is straw. The yard is a large verdant tree, and there are more than a dozen grouses in a wooden cage next to it.

As soon as he entered the door, Yan Huaiyuan shouted: "Child, damn it, stew some big yellow croaker, kill two more grouses, and come to your guests." ”

Yan Huaiyuan's daughter-in-law doesn't look so old, she looks like a normal forty-year-old person, I heard that she was a little reluctant to kill the grouse, but she didn't dare not listen to the words of the family.

Xu Guanzhong said: "We people eat the same thing, just fill our stomachs." The grouse still has to be kept to lay eggs, so don't kill it, just get some greens and stew some fish and shrimp. ”

Yan Huaiyuan insisted on killing two roosters, stewing chicken, and stewing sea fish. During the meal, Yan Kuohai also came here to eat after training.

Xu Guanzhong said: "I am also from Hebei, and we are all fellow villagers. There is such a saying about the four joys of life, you should not be afraid to talk about this matter and see if I can help. ”

Yan Huaiyuan sighed and explained the matter in detail, it turned out that three years ago, after the rise of the Jin tribe, they occupied the Great Xing'anling area and the Xiaoxinganling area in the northeast of Liao State. Liao's jurisdiction over Heilong Island was interrupted, and there was no one to collect taxes on Heilong Island, and the people thought that they would live a good life, but the suffering had just begun. Heilong Island is huge, the area is vast, there are almost no people in the south, there are more than 20,000 people in the middle, among which the Tunu tribe is the most powerful, almost more than 8,000 people, and there are more than 2,000 people in Zhuangding alone, not to mention that the Tunu people are mainly grazing, hunting and grazing, and they can fight better than the people of Baiyu Village. There are more than a dozen villages nearby, which have always been the target of expropriation by the Tunu tribe, because the Tunu people know that the tribes in the north are more powerful, so they must levy more things to counter.

After listening to Yan Huaiyuan's words, Xu Guan couldn't help but shake his head: "There are two thousand strong men in the Tunu tribe, and there are only one hundred and fifty strong men in Baiyu Village, and the gap between the two sides is not half a point, not to mention your weapons." ”

Yan Kuohai was not happy, looked at Xu Guanzhong and said, "Then what do you mean, let us obediently hand over the smoked fish?" That's 100,000 catties, 100,000 catties of smoked fish and 100,000 catties of firewood. You're not going to be a spy for the Tunu people, are you? ”

A squad leader led by Xu Guanzhong was unhappy, and said: "How can you speak, how can our captain be a spy of the Tunu people?" ”

"I'll just talk like this, I don't accept you to beat me." Yan Kuohai saw that such a squad leader's figure was generally strong, and he was a little contemptuous.

The squad leader said, "Compare and draw." ”

"Compare and compare, who is afraid of whom." Yan Kuohai said.

The two stopped eating and started the competition in the courtyard on the spot. The result can be imagined, although Yan Kuohai is tall and powerful, he has great strength, but he lacks fighting experience, and he was knocked down by the squad leader in a few rounds, and Yan Kuohai who fell was convinced.

Yan Huaiyuan grimaced and said, "Kuohai, don't apologize to Captain Xu yet." ”

Yan Kuohai bowed his head and apologized to Xu Guanzhong, but Xu Guanzhong even said no.

Xu Guanzhong said: "Since people want to live, they must live uprightly, at least like a person." The Tunu people are tyrannical and do not leave everyone a way to live, and it is necessary to rise up and resist. But resistance is not brute, you can't just send it to death, you have to use your brains to find a way. ”

Although Yan Huaiyuan had limited knowledge, he knew that Xu Guanzhong was a capable person, so he immediately got up and bowed: "Please also ask Captain Xu to help us for the sake of the same clan and clan." ”

Xu Guanzhong hurriedly pulled Yan Huaiyuan up and said, "Let's sum it up." ”

Yan Kuohai didn't dare to despise Xu Guanzhong anymore, and listened carefully to the side.

Xu Guanzhong said: "Iron striking also needs its own hardness, first of all, the training of the 150 strong men in the village, every day to spare half a day to train, the war requires the unity of orders, otherwise it can only be a gang of rabble." The second is the issue of weapons, your weapons are too poor, harpoons are used for fishing, you can't fight a war, you still have to change weapons, and the knives and spears are the most suitable. Third, we have to contact other villages that are willing to rebel against the Tunu people, and gather the strong men of each village, so that we can grow stronger. ”

Yan Huaiyuan nodded frequently: "It's just that the people in the village don't know what kind of training, not to mention that they don't have weapons." ”

"It's easy to say, Yan Kuohai is a fierce general, but he just needs training. I'll send you three veterans to train you for more than ten days to ensure that your strong man has a new look. As for the knives, spears, and other weapons, I can support you with 150 of them free of charge. The matter of contacting the villages was carried out secretly first, and the first task was to manage the White Fish Village well. ”

"Okay, everything is up to Captain Xu." Yan Huaiyuan was very happy, he had seen Xu Guanzhong's fleet, and the big ship was terrifying.

Although Xu Guanzhong was a naval army, he also knew some basic infantry knowledge, and sent three elite veterans, each responsible for fifty strong men, to train them. As for the weapons like the Pu Dao, there are a lot of flying eagle warships, and the people of Black Dragon Island have already discussed the strategy, that is, to win over one faction and strike at one faction. So it's okay to give away 150 Pu knives.

Everyone in Baiyu Village got a Pu knife, and things suddenly rose sharply, especially Yan Kuohai, who couldn't put it down with the sharp Pu knife, and no longer dared to have the slightest contempt for Xu Guanzhong, and he was more affectionate than anyone else.

At the same time as letting the soldiers train Zhuang Ding, Xu Guanzhong also built a lookout post on a high place in the village, which was used to warn by lighting wolf smoke and beating drums during the day, and by lighting beacons and beating drums at night to ensure the transmission of information.
