Rice is grown in the south and wheat is grown in the north, so there are grain fields in the south and wheat fields in the north. Less than half a mile outside the farm, there is an extremely open wheat field, which is now the wheat harvest season, and the field is full of wheat straw like a hill, and the eyes are golden. This year is a good year, the grain harvest is excellent, the people were happy, but who would have thought that a few days ago, the official army was defeated and retreated, and now there are thieves again, how can people live?

In the wheat field, some people were busy packing up their milled grain, and the brave men in the village came one after another, and almost everyone had a look of bad luck on their faces. Xu Wei and the other four came out all the way, and saw that many families were packing up, dragging pigs and donkeys, probably preparing to flee.

Not everyone is afraid of death, at least some young people are not afraid of tigers, and they gather in twos and threes on the wheat field, talking excitedly about something. As soon as Xu Wei and the others appeared, these young juniors scattered everywhere began to surround them. But before he could get closer, most of them retreated, which made Xu Wei confused.

It turned out that Xu Wei used to be brave and ruthless, and he had the support of his family, not only in Xujiazhuang, but also in Xiajin County, and naturally became the leader of some young people in the village. But since he got seriously ill, he doesn't remember anything. But in this era, there is no such thing as amnesia, and it is all classified as "crazy". But Xu Wei's "madness" is different, he doesn't cut his father, he doesn't kill his mother, and he doesn't jump to scold the sky from morning to night, so he is naturally not a "martial madman", so Xu Jiajiulang was identified as a "literary madman".

Think about it, who wants to talk to a "literary maniac"? Not to mention "discussing major matters together".

When Xu Wei heard this, he almost didn't really jump up and scold the sky! Co-authored all the old and young in the village, they all think I'm a crazy person? I said, why did the lame fat girl who picked up donkey dung and eggs in the east of the village yesterday see me and hide!

Before he could pass his depression, he heard the exclamations around him, and someone whispered: "Even the county lieutenant of Liang County has personally gone out, it seems that the sky is really going to change." ”

Xu Wei looked up, to the north of the wheat field, there were a few stone rollers, and the Liang County Lieutenant who I saw in the county yesterday stood on the stone roller with a few dukes, with one hand on his waist and the other hand fanning the wind. Liang County's face was full of gloom, as if someone had beaten his own father. Next to him stood a sturdy man wearing a sunshade hat and a cyan straight jacket, presumably that Baozheng.

Seeing that everyone was almost there, Bao Zheng raised the gong in his hand and slammed it, so shocked that the county lieutenant Liang snatched it down, and scolded: "Knock on the funeral!" "Frightened, Bao Zheng kept fighting.

Throwing the gong on the ground, Liang County Lieutenant cleared his throat and shouted: "The men in the village have heard clearly!" There was a gang of thieves who should be damned by the plague, and they made a fuss three months ago, and at first there were only thirty or fifty of them, doing some tricks of cutting the path, but now, somehow, they gathered seven or eight hundred people and horses, occupied Qianniu Mountain, and fell into the grass. Although this matter has nothing to do with my Xiajin County, I have to guard against it. You men in Xujiazhuang have some means, know the meaning of the county minister, and let you organize township soldiers to defend the county. If you serve the magistrate of the county, you serve the court, serve the court, serve the court, and serve the saint. This is your great face, this is the great virtue accumulated by your ancestors......"

The army of the Song Dynasty was divided into four types, the forbidden army, the box army, the fan soldiers, and the township soldiers. The township soldiers, also known as the militia, are recruited by the local government and are said to be the least popular type of troops. However, in the end of the Song Dynasty, the folk martial arts prevailed, and because of frequent wars and sharp contradictions, riots continued. The people spontaneously organized themselves to defend their homeland. The Great Song Dynasty court banned this kind of civil armed forces, from prohibiting, to opening, to advocating, and finally vigorously promoted. After the "Jingkang Change" occurred in history, the vast majority of the millions of righteous troops quickly assembled in the capital by the famous general Zong Ze of the Northern Song Dynasty were such civilian forces.

Liang Heng said so much that Xu Wei really couldn't listen to it, and said impatiently: "This force can really fool." ”

"This guy is poisonous! In March, the boss of the Li family had an argument with someone in the county, punched him over, and knocked him unconscious. Who knew that it was the eldest brother of Liang County Lieutenant, who was arrested and tortured in prison. The Li family lost a lot of money, and they refused to let go. It was your father who asked your fourth brother to intercede before bringing the person back. That look, hey, don't mention it, no one looks like it......" Yang Yan said bluntly, as if he was still a little scared when he thought about it now.

Xu Wei didn't say anything, Zhang Qing sneered: "Liang Heng's uncle's mother's nephew is a waiter in the ministry, so he made up the title of county lieutenant. Therefore, several magistrates looked down on him and turned a blind eye to what he did, which was the only way to raise such a living Yama. ”

"Can this also be a relationship?" Xu Wei was surprised.

"There are people in the DPRK who are good officials." Mattey chimed in.

"Xu Jiu, wait, roll call later, our brothers can't run away, you may not." Zhang Qing's words, no matter how Xu Wei heard it, it was a little sour. The implication is that you have a background in your family, and no one dares to do anything to you.

Xu Wei didn't refute him, smiled disdainfully, and didn't speak again.

After the Liang County Lieutenant finished flickering, another threat came, which was nothing more than that whoever dared to escape violated the king's law, and it was like a rebellion. Xu Wei shook his head when he heard this, that is, these honest and responsible farmers will be deceived by him, and they don't take a penny of the imperial court's salary, why should they carry a knife and sell your life? Are all the soldiers dead?

"Baozheng, roll call! Who dares to cheat and play tricks! Liang Heng said this, and pulled out the steel knife on the waist of his subordinates as he did yesterday. The crops in front of him retreated in a big circle. When he saw that he had received the results, he returned the knife to the sheath with satisfaction, sat down on the stone roller, and watched Baozheng roll call.

Xu ...... Protect. Bao Zheng sang the first name, even he was suspicious, and turned his head to look at Liang Heng. It doesn't make sense, Xu Wei is the ninth child of the Xu family, and there is such a son by Mrs. Xu's side, how could he be included in it?

"Can't be a roll call? You should fucking be right, rest early, get out! Liang Heng didn't know if he had taken expired aphrodisiacs, as if he was holding back the fire in his stomach and had nowhere to go.

Baozheng didn't dare to talk too much and continued to roll call. A total of more than 300 men were named as village soldiers, not a penny of silver, not a single weapon, and all of them took care of themselves. Xu Wei, Yang Yan, Zhang Qing, and Ma Tai are all on the list.

"Let's completely offend Liang Heng this time." Yang Yan said this, but he didn't care at all in his tone.

"This guy used to be just a broken household in Xiajin County, specializing in some shady things, but now that he has made a fortune, we have offended him, and I am afraid that life will be difficult......" Zhang Qing shook his head and sighed.

Xu Wei smiled casually: "It doesn't matter, when those thieves come, won't our brothers be able to fight side by side?" ”

"That's right, don't seek to live together, but to die together." Mattei also laughed.

"Bah! I don't know what to say, when those thieves come to the door, I'll give a fucking click! Yang Yan gritted his teeth and snorted.

After the recruitment of the township soldiers was completed, all of them were registered, and three "brave heads" were appointed.

At that moment, Liang Heng ordered the more than 100 people who were named first to disband, and each went back to his home to prepare equipment and wait for training. Xu Wei said goodbye to Yang Yan and the other three and returned home.

As soon as he stepped into the threshold, he found that the atmosphere was not right, the old servant in the porter sighed vigorously, and several servant women in the family were also full of melancholy, busy going back and forth. Xu Weizheng was confused, so he heard a voice behind him: "Doctor, please." Looking back, Xu Fangzheng, the horseman at home, led an old man with a wooden box on his back to walk in. Hey, isn't this the one who treated Mattei yesterday?

"What's going on?" Xu Wei frowned and asked.

"Little official......" Xu Fang shook his head and sighed: "Alas, you can just go in and see." Xu Wei didn't ask any more questions, and came to Mrs. Xu's room with the two, and when he went in, he saw that Xu Wang's family was anxiously guarding in front of Taigong's bed, and when he saw Lang Zhong coming, he hurriedly said: "Doctor, please take a look, this is a ...... of down" Speaking of this, he couldn't cry.

Shocked, Xu Wei stepped forward to take a look, only to see Xu Taigong lying on the bed, his fists clenched, his eyes closed, his teeth gritted loudly, his chest couldn't help rising and falling, and he seemed to be very sick.

Taking advantage of Lang Zhong's opportunity to give Taigong a medical look, Xu Wei asked his sister-in-law, "What's going on?" ”

"Ninth brother...... Xu Wangshi burst into tears, shook his head and said, "Alas......"

"I said you just sighed and had a fart! What the hell is going on, but say it! Xu Wei stomped his feet and yelled.

Xu Wangshi was taken aback, causing this little uncle to make a mistake again, so he quickly stopped crying and explained the reason for the incident: "Not long after you went out this morning, the county lieutenant Liang came. I didn't say a few words, I heard the two quarrel, I didn't hear too clearly, Liang Dutou seemed to be sarcastic to his father-in-law, 'the phoenix that sheds its hair is not as good as a chicken, and the toothless tiger is bullied by a dog', and when I felt that things were wrong, Liang County Lieutenant had already slammed the door and left, and my father-in-law was so angry that he couldn't do it, so he ......"

"!" Xu Wei's eyes were suddenly bloodshot and frighteningly red.

At this time, Na Langzhong had already finished taking the pulse, and Xu Wei hurriedly asked, "How is it?" ”

That Langzhong knew Xu Jiu's notoriety, so he didn't dare to answer for a while, and when Xu Wang saw it, he said, "Please talk outside." After that, he led Lang Zhong outside, Xu Wei was about to follow, and suddenly heard the Taigong behind him shouting: "Lao Jiu." ”

Back to the bedside, Xu Wei leaned over: "Here." ”

"Did you order the village soldiers?" Xu Taigong opened his eyes slightly and asked with difficulty.

"Hmm." Xu Wei nodded.

Xu Taigong gritted his teeth fiercely, pounded the bed and said, "The tiger falls in Pingyang!" The tiger falls in Pingyang! ”

Seeing that he was emotional, Xu Wei held back his anger and quietly persuaded: "Don't be angry, it's no big deal." (Because of work, I have been working overtime since I went out in the morning and have not come home until now, and today's update is a little late, so I'm sorry for everyone.) I'm still bothering everyone to vote for a few votes, and collect it if you don't have a vote, thank you. ）
