Chapter 13: It's Good to Have You
Eighteen Zhai Alliance, White-faced Mountain, Commander's Mansion, Luo Xiong sits on the main seat, and the high-level figures of Eighteen Zhai sit in two rows below.
Huang He stood up and looked at everyone seriously, especially when discussing the "National Uniform Field System" a few days ago, those who had opposing opinions said solemnly: "Do you still think that the uniform field system is not necessary?
Now Li Peng, Meng Yi Alliance, Wang Lin, Lu Ge, Bao Yan three also alliance, but the weakest of us, it seems that no one wants to be an alliance with us, our eighteen villages are like ants on a leaf in a big river, the water wave is a little bigger, it will be destroyed.
The young commander is a hidden master, he has long seen the weakness of my eighteen villages, so he will make a lot of arrangements before going out, do you still think that Juntian is not necessary? ”
In the hall, there was silence, a few people who had opinions on Juntian did not dare to raise their heads, these people were headed by Luo Yi's two uncles, most of them were for the establishment of the eighteen villages, and they had made contributions, of course, there were also the Luo family, the relatives of the Yellow Crane family.
Now the eighteen villages want to be comprehensively reformed, there are a lot of opinions, but the main reform is the Luo family, the Huang He family made out, even if most people have opinions, they dare not speak out, and only relatives, have a relationship, dare to have direct opinions.
Looking at the silent crowd, Luo Xiong said: "Now the situation in Vimo is not good, unity is very necessary, no one here is an outsider, that little loss is more important than the life and death of the eighteen villages."
Besides, according to what my son said, as long as you are a member of the national army, you will have a monthly salary, and you will have a monthly salary as a teacher, a soldier, and a village head, and of course I will also receive a monthly salary. ”
"But brother-in-law, do we have copper coins in our eighteen villages?"
Huang Feihu asked weakly, he used to be a village guard, and his family had hundreds of acres of paddy fields, but now the military system is reformed, and the eighteen villages have been merged into five villages, and the village guard is gone, and now he is a squad leader, with the rank of corporal, or Luo Ba is for the sake of his eldest brother Luo Xiong's brother-in-law.
Luo Ba said a little angrily: "My nephew, since you have proposed to send money, there will definitely be a way to send you money, everyone is not in a hurry, you are in a hurry." ”
I can't help Luo Ba not be angry, and the opposition to Juntian is Huang Feihu, and the Huang Feixiang brothers took the lead, to say that the most land losses are of course the two brothers of the Luo family, and there are many Huang He families, and these rabbit cubs don't know what to do at all.
"Okay, Brother Ba, Feihu, you all say a few words, the most important thing now is to move the outer thirteen villages as soon as possible according to the plum blossom defense map drawn by my son.
The crops of the thirteen villages in the periphery should be harvested almost, and the full relocation will begin tomorrow, and now the crops are not fully ripe, and it seems that this year's output reduction is inevitable. ”
Lu Di said with a smile: "There are a lot of them, at most, they are only harvested now, and they can't be used for next year's grain, besides, there is no need to pay tribute to Li Peng this year, so the commander doesn't have to worry." ”
"Haha! That's good, oh! By the way, Lao Lu, now you should call me the chief, or the colonel. ”
Lu Di laughed and said, "The last general knows, Colonel. ”
Luo Xiong waved his hand domineeringly: "Let's go and get busy!" Brother Ba, you should watch more on the periphery, and strive to move everyone to the villages safely within two days. ”
"Don't worry! Big Brother"
Everyone in the hall dispersed, only Huang He and Luo Xiong were left, both of them were very worried about their son who went out to find Jin Tie, it had been ten days, and now they had no rest at all, and the two of them were faintly worried.
"Did the people who sent it come back?"
"When they came back, they followed the mark left by Menglu, and found that the young commander led them, and went to the west entrance of the Panteng Village of the Bunu tribe, but they did not go in, and then entered the mountain from the west side of Xiongshan, and then they didn't know, they asked the two to send them back to rest, and the rest followed the mark of Menglu."
"Alas! My son is young, and he is bent on finding a way for my eighteen villages, but these relatives are really... ”
"Don't worry about the commander, maybe if you don't lead them, you can come back in the evening, and today is exactly ten days."
"I hope so! You go too, and you have to worry more about the matter of the Thirteen Villages. ”
The way Luo Yi and the others returned and the road they came from was not the same road at all, and the people sent out by the Yellow Crane to find them were probably to follow them all the way to the location of the Yelang clan, and then return to Baimian Mountain.
On the way back, Luo Yi walked directly according to the highway of the later generations, but now there is no road, only a mountain, a mountain to cross, of course, it is still a lot closer than the road when he came, and it only took more than three days to return to Baiyan Mountain.
Everyone who returned was very tired, Meng Lu took the teenagers to the Baimian Mountain military camp, to take a good bath, rest and rest, Luo Yi and Huang Ling also went home separately.
"Do you have bad eyes? I didn't see that this was the Commander's Palace, so I went and went. ”
Damn, what's this called! His own house was not allowed to enter, Luo Yi wiped his face well, and said again: "I am really your young commander, if you don't believe it, Uncle Wei will come out." ”
The two guards were a little hesitant, one of the guards hurriedly went in to find the Luo family's housekeeper Lao Wei, the two guards were new after the military reform, and they had never seen Luo Yi at all, plus now Luo Yi was dirty, due to the rain today, now he was covered in mud and water, and no one believed that this was the son of the commander.
The housekeeper Lao Wei ran out and saw at a glance that Luo Yi, who was dirty, was wiped clean because of the mud on his face now, Lao Wei immediately recognized it, and hurriedly said: "Ah! It's really the young master is back! ”
The two guards knew that they had blocked the young commander, and they were so frightened that they were about to kneel, and said in their mouths: "The young commander is guilty, and the little one has collided with you." ”
"It's okay, it's okay, you're doing a good job, I'll go in first."
Now Vimo, not cold, but wet and very uncomfortable, back to the room where he lived for one night, after a while, Lao Wei and the two family members came with hot water, it seems that the hot water at home is long.
Lao Wei watched the family pour the hot water, waved the family away, and said with a smile: "Young master, do you want to let Xiaohong and the others come to serve you in the bath." ”
"Uncle Wei, I told you last time that people are all equal, you, Sister Xiaohong, Sister Xiaohua, Uncle Liu, we are all equal.
You work in the Luo family, and the Luo family gives you a monthly salary, don't feel that you are inferior, you know? ”
"Oh, young master! You can torture the old slave, you can work in the Commander's Mansion and have food, we are very grateful to the Commander, so what do you dare to ask for? ”
"I don't care what it was like before, it's like this now, your monthly salary, wait for me to understand, the current price of our eighteen villages, two months later, I will send it to you.
Oh! And don't call Daddy old master or anything, call me master in the future, call me young master, you know? ”
"I know the young master, oh not a lot of masters."
It seems that I didn't grow up under a pure red flag, no matter what, Ben Shao just thinks that the young master is better than the young master.
Tired body, running in hot water, so comfortable, have I changed, how can I feel now, this is the life of people, how could I want to be so angry when I came here last time.
After soaking in the barrel and thinking about it for a long time, Luo Yi finally came to the conclusion that as a later generation, it feels good to be superior, but if you are higher than others, it will be too boring.
It must be so, because I hate slaves, Lao Tzu wants people, there are people in the family who work very well, and it is appropriate to give some money, and the last thing Lao Tzu lacks now is money, whether it is Alu White Shoe Factory, or Liudutong, copper money is.
Luo Xiong met Meng Lu and his gang in the barracks, and after learning that Jin Tie had also been found, he hurriedly walked home, obviously his son was more important than Jin Tie in his eyes.
When Luo Xiong returned home, Luo Yi had already finished washing, wearing the clothes that the housekeeper Lao Wei didn't know where to find them, and came to the main hall, Xiaohong and Xiaohua set up the food on the table.
Seeing that Luo Yi was fine, just shuttling in the mountains and forests for a long time, his skin was a little dark, and he was not as fair as before, Luo Xiong finally put his mind at ease.
Father and son, chatting while eating, as always, the two talked to each other about what they knew recently.
"What, Yorokoku, alas! I once heard Huang He say that there used to be a big country in Southwest Yi called Yelang, but I didn't expect it to be still there. ”
Luo Yi said with a smile: "In fact, the Yelang clan is the current Puyue clan, but time has passed, they are no longer the same as the current Puyue clan, and the language is still the previous Puyue language."
Oh! By the way, Daddy, when we came back, we were in the mountains, and we met a lot of people, but we couldn't get close to them at all, and we ran away when they saw us, and there were not many people, and we met many times in the depths of the mountains and forests. ”
"Forrest Gump! Vimo is in chaos, just a few days after you left, Li Peng and the Mengyi alliance attacked Wang Lin, and those people are probably people who fled into the mountains and forests in advance to escape the war. Now ....................."
Luo Yi didn't expect that he had only been out for ten days, and Vimo had already become like this, first Li Peng and Meng Yi jointly attacked Wang Lin, and swept Wang Lin's forces in one day, and there were twenty-four villages on the periphery, and the population of these twenty-four villages was not small, with a population of more than 6,000.
There are more than 800 troops stationed in Wang Lin, which is stronger than the eighteen villages, and they were killed in one day.
However, Wang Lin, that is so easy to fight, as the richest person in Vimo except for Dali, the population under his command is more than 20,000, and there are a large number of Shuzhong merchants stationed in Bada Town, if it is not for the Han people under his command, who are not good at fighting, their power is probably stronger than Li Peng and Meng Yi, and they are the most well-informed.
Sure enough, when Li Peng and Meng Yi's combined forces arrived outside the city of Bada Town, Wang Lin had already arranged them in various city heads and fortresses, with no less than 2,000 troops to defend, and the Han people were not good at fighting, but building a city was almost an innate ability, and Vimo was also the highest in Wang Lin's Bada Town.
Li Peng originally thought that it would be easy for the two alliances to defeat Wang Lin's 24 villages and take Bada Town, but when he saw the tall walls of Bada Town and the dense number of soldiers, he knew that it would not be so easy to take Bada Town.
But Li Peng, Meng Yi was ready to shoot, and he was also stationed five miles outside Bada Town, rested for three days, and built siege equipment, and three days later, two troops of more than 4,000 people began to storm Bada Town.
Wang Lin's wealth shocked the whole Vimo, usually the upper class people can't afford to light the lamp of the fierce fire oil, a pot of pots poured down the city, arrows like no money thrown down, soldiers are even more people wearing armor, real armor, not the rattan armor of other forces.
Li Peng, Meng Yi two lost no less than 1,000 soldiers, and finally had no choice but to withdraw ten miles, who knew that night, the Bunu Lu Ge, Jing Barbarian Bao Yan two handsome soldiers 2,000 night attack on both sides of the Li 'Meng coalition army, did not go out of the city to pursue Wang Lin during the day, sent him to subdue the savage General Anu, handsome 1,000 soldiers from the front.
Li Peng, Meng Yi's coalition army was defeated, fled all the way, almost withdrew from Wang Lin's sphere of influence, and the two escaped less than 2,000 soldiers, just when Wang Lin's three divisions wanted to take Li Peng and Meng Yi in one fell swoop, Li Peng's clan elder, Li Kundao, led 2,000 troops to help, and now the two sides are still fighting each other.
"That's the matter, that's it, I'm very glad for my father, they don't look down on my eighteen villages, otherwise they may not be able to wait for you to come back, and the eighteen villages will be destroyed."
Luo Yi was still in shock, shocked by Wang Lin's wealth, shocked by the strength of Li Peng's troops, according to the strength of Li Peng's troops, Li Peng was 2,000, Meng Yi and Wang Lin were 1,000 each, Bao Yan was 1,000, Lu Ge was 800, and the Eighteen Zhai Alliance was 500.
The number of troops is inseparable from the population and wealth of the force, the population of the eighteen villages is more than 5,000, and the recruitment of 1,000 soldiers, so that one out of five, how strong the combat effectiveness can be, that is, the population of the Luge forces of the Bunu tribe is more than 10,000, not to mention the others, who knows how many soldiers are expanding now.
Looking at Luo Yi, who was still thinking, Luo Xiong continued: "It's just that the situation is like this, and the plan you put forward can be accepted so quickly. ”
"Could it be that Daddy, you agreed, and anyone else dared to object?"
"Yes! They are all ignorant people who can't see the current situation clearly. ”
"Uncle Ba, what do you say?"
"Your Uncle Ba is my own brother, I will not harm him, of course he knows, your Uncle Ba is very much in favor, your suggestion, don't guess, it is your two uncles and some people who have made contributions to the establishment of the Eighteen Villages before."
Luo Yi was very helpless that he had such two cheap uncles, who used to take away the female slaves of his family, but they didn't come to him, and thought that it was just that the two aunts didn't know what was going on, but now it seems that they are really not a family, and they don't enter the door! Two uncles and two aunts are a perfect match.
"Okay, don't think about it too much, you just came back, rest more, what do you want to do, wait until you have a good rest, the sky won't fall yet."
"Got it, Daddy, you also pay more attention to rest."
"Oh! By the way, Ah Guo asked someone to bring a message and ask when you will go back, this girl only thinks about you now, and I haven't been back for a long time, and I don't ask me when I will go back. ”
"Hmmm! I also miss Ah Guo, I'll go back in a few days, and Ah Guo must also miss you, but I know that you are too busy and don't bother you to be old. ”
Luo Xiong laughed and said, "It's good to have you"
"Me too, Daddy rest early, I'll go to sleep first."
"Go ahead! Go ahead! ”
Watching his son leave, the smile on Luo Xiong's face was still there, and when he was with Luo Yi and Ah Guo, he felt that it was necessary to live, and he once thought that Luo Yi was used by God to make up for himself.
