0067, servant women's camp, ant company
As the sun sets, a village appears far away in the corner of the vast plain.
Today's fleet has become bigger and bigger. Except for the 35-man personal guard, which has not changed, everything else has changed drastically:
The seven or eight carts that came out of Yunyang Mansion have skyrocketed to nearly seventy now, a tenfold increase, and almost one guard has to guard two.
Livestock such as mules and big green donkeys have also reached a terrifying number of nearly 200.
Among them, there are more than 30 big buffaloes, cattle, and nearly 100 fat sheep.
There were originally 24 miscellaneous servants, but now there are nearly 100 people, and all of them are strong men.
In addition, there are some orphans who have lost their parents when they come out and when they return now.
This is a new idea that Wendao deliberately carries out purposefully and purposefully out of some future considerations, after thinking about it again and again.
More than ninety percent of these orphans are male babies and one is a female baby.
Once you meet the right children, when you choose, they are all under the age of six or seven, and they must be relatively upright, speak clearly, have normal intelligence, and not be too short. Of course, because of lack of food and clothing, poor health, and a little illness, I am not afraid. As soon as the nutrition kept up, it was soon a group of lovely children.
After searching all the way in this way, there were thirty-four after careful selection.
And in order to take care of these little ones who are still unable to take care of themselves, Wendao had to recruit ten additional sturdy servants to take care of them.
Wendao gave this group of children the name "Ant Company", so that people can understand whose future backyard this is at a glance.
It is precisely because of these rapidly increasing troubles that the existing pro-guard team is obviously not enough, so before leaving, the entire convoy was delayed in Yunmeng for a few days, and suddenly recruited and urgently trained six ten-person team members, in the name of "reserve battalion", temporarily used as a defensive vacancy for the pro-guard team.
There is also a trouble, that is, the women and children in the bandits' nest in the mountain behind the cloud dream, especially the pair of twins left behind by the bandit Drill Sky Leopard Fierce Female Bandit Woman Desperately Left.
Originally, after cleaning up all the bandits' nests, and taking out a large amount of floating wealth, and dividing part of it for the construction and turnover of Yunmeng Big Firm, and burying most of them secretly on the spot, these women and children who basically found out their origins were dismissed after each of them was given enough money to entangle the road.
Who knows, after the huge convoy was launched, most of these women and children, old and young, followed behind without regard for life or death, all the way.
In the first two days, Wen Dao hardened his heart and strictly ordered that no one should help or secretly take them in.
Even, even the three softest-hearted women in the convoy thought that in less than a day, these women and children who had to keep up inexplicably would be discouraged, and they would be pulled away by themselves due to physical exhaustion.
As a result, by the time the camp was set up that day, the entire convoy turned into a containment team overnight:
When camping and eating, keep up with the first group of young and old. Then, like a sugar gourd, they all followed one after another.
The last one, the girl named Little Lamb, ran away with the twins in her arms and looked like she was completely dehuman, and fell outside the makeshift camp, crying and crying.
His grandmother's, who can stand this!
Zhou Min and He Yuyan were the first to rush out and bring in the little sheep and the twins in her arms, and Wen Dao knew how terrible public opinion was.
And these women and children desperately want to keep up, the only reason is that even if they have a home, they can't go back to a home. Now that Gongzi Wen has shattered their current lives, they have no way out, and they can only rely on Gongzi Wen to find a way to live.
Fortunately, there was already an "ant company" mechanism, and the knife struggled all night, and finally simply used the ten servant women as the backbone, added the capable ones among these women and children, and made a "servant women's camp" out.
Later, some people laughed, it doesn't hurt to have an extra "ant company", it seems that in the future, my son-in-law will definitely raise them as righteous sons.
What is the matter with this "reserve camp" that serves as a temporary family and a "servant women's camp" that is responsible for feeding children?
It's really funny!
But laughing and laughing, now breaking into the land of Zhongzhou, such a huge convoy, starting from Yunmeng to return, all the way to the present, there is no thief, bandits come up to rob, even the officers and soldiers who have always liked to fight the autumn wind, there is no one along the way, isn't it strange?
Wendao put on such a flamboyant posture, or the same original intention and purpose:
We should seize every opportunity to train our troops and never miss any opportunity to understand the world. Whether it is training troops or understanding the world, the test of blood and fire is the most real exercise.
No one came to the door, and even he had an impulse to find an opponent to practice by himself.
Of course, the best Wendao is still just in his heart, and he has not yet swelled to the point where it is boring to ask for himself with this little force.
Self-preservation is pretty much the same.
But for a village, such a vast convoy is a little scary.
This village belongs to the two areas at the junction of Hubei and Henan. On weekdays, they are exploited by evil officials on both sides of the government, and the two bandits who compete for territory with each other have been plundered, and they have been miserable. The thieves together, they didn't think about it, their lives were still as bitter as ever, but there were very few officials or bandits in their village and outside the village.
Finally, after a relatively peaceful life, such a large convoy appeared out of nowhere, and it was obviously carrying many dazzling knives and guns, and the whole village suddenly panicked.
Fortunately, more than eighty percent of the village are relatives of the Zheng family, and a few people with foreign surnames are also married to the Zheng family. As soon as the gongs and drums struck, all the young and strong people gathered at the head of the village, and gathered around the old patriarch Zheng Sanye.
Zheng Shanhe, the son of the old patriarch, has always had the idea of moving out of the whole village, and he has faintly become the leader of the younger generation.
Now that the village is in danger again, he can't help but look at his father and complain again:
"I have long said that I will move away, and many people also have this idea, but you don't want to be alone. I don't know what to do here, whether there is gold in the ground or silver in the river of sands! ”
The old patriarch snorted coldly, and said with a wooden shovel:
"What do you know about a doll, in this troubled world, where to move without being bullied? Besides, my Zheng ancestors have lived here for decades, so it's so easy to leave! ”
Zheng Xinda is the only scholar in the village, and he has always wanted to take the test, so he came out and said:
"Uncle Patriarch, what Brother Shanhe said is actually not bad. Either we move a little south and become a Hubei Yankee, or we move a little north and become a He-Nan with all our hearts. Like us now, if you don't hesitate, anyone can beat us, and no one cares about us, so it's not a thing! ”
Zheng Liye seemed to be moved, nodded and said:
"This is reasonable, or your baby can speak, and he deserves to be a reader."
Zheng Shanhe stared at the darkening sky, and the convoy in the distance was no longer clear, and suddenly snorted:
"Now that this doesn't work, people are blocking the door......"
