Chapter 27: Acting (1)
Hengdian Town, in later generations of China, is a national 5A-level scenic spot and the country's largest film and television base, known as the "Oriental Hollywood". However, in the current era of the remnants of the Ming Dynasty, this is just a very ordinary Jiangnan town.
Chen Wen is not here to look for the martial arts cheats that once killed a billion Japanese devils in Hengdian Film and Television City, but because the distance between this place and Dongyang County is more suitable for him.
This time to send troops, Chen Wen has already made a detailed plan, along the way, the Nantang battalion has died down, even the soldiers have changed into the people's clothes, weapons such as spears, swords and shields, bows and arrows can still be carried with them, all the other loaded trucks, like a group of bandits wandering the local area.
In particular, there is not even a little lady in this team of more than 600 people, and such a strange existence really frightened the villages and towns along the way, so that while closing the gate without exception, he sent people to send grain, grass, livestock and poultry, which was completely a posture of sending off guests.
"The local gangs are so rude."
Looking at the complicated-eyed heads that appeared on the town wall with the gate closed in front of him, as well as the mayor who was shouting, and seeing his attempt to send some gifts to send away this Nantang battalion advance team like the towns he had passed by before, Chen Wen despised it for being uninspired, but also showed a completely different attitude from before.
"Listen to everyone in the town, Lao Tzu is a big cabinet mountain carving on Weihu Mountain, here is to hear that the little lady in Hengdian Town looks smart, thinking about bringing it to the mountain to let the brothers be happy."
Speaking of which, the extras under Chen Wen's command who pretended to be bandits and bandits let out lewd laughs one after another. It's just that in Chen Wen's eyes, even if he goes to Hengdian Film and Television City to play a passerby, no one will want this kind of acting skills.
"If you know each other, you will dress up the little ladies beautifully, give the dowry in a proper manner, and you can report the name of the big cabinet when you go out in the future, and ensure that no one dares to bully you."
After that, Chen Wenhe and the group performers under his command laughed again. Although this moment seems to modern people who have been baptized by TV dramas in later generations, it seems to have a very funny taste, but in the current era when Hengdian Film and Television City has not yet risen from the ground, it really scared these townspeople enough.
Seeing this, the mayor of the town, after going down for a while, lost half a day's good words, and more than doubled the gifts for the guests. But Chen Wen was completely in a posture of not getting in with oil and salt, saying that he would rob the town of Hengdian anyway, and by the way, he would get the mayor's daughter to be the wife of the village.
It's just that Chen Wen's words to let him be the lady of the village really stunned the mayor, as if he had been reminded, and hurriedly went down to say a few words to a servant, and then continued to deal with Chen Wen.
After a while, Chen Guobao, who came with him, leaned into Chen Wen's ear, whispered a few words, and then retreated. And Chen Wen no longer rubbed down, and after letting his soldiers shoot a few arrows casually as a warning, he did not continue to put on the posture of attacking the town, but only claimed to give the mayor two days to think about it, and then camped in the east of Hengdian Town.
After nightfall, because the bandits were on the side, the mayor arranged for the people to guard the town wall to prevent the bandits outside from attacking the town at night. Just looking at the camp two miles outside the town, the strange words that kept popping up in his heart made him goosebumps, as if something was wrong.
In the camp outside the town, Chen Wen still did it in the same way as when he was camping, and no longer deliberately made the appearance of a bandit going down the mountain, because at this moment his goal had been achieved, and all that was left was to wait.
"Furen, does this trick really work?"
In the camp, the bonfires and the torches of the lights will not be extinguished all night, but the whole camp is unusually quiet, not at all the noise and impetuosity of the bandits when they descend the mountain.
In the big tent, Chen Wen, Sun Yu, Yin Yue, and the two two generals who came with them -- Lou Jiye, who was in charge of commanding the First Bureau, and Chen Guobao, who was in charge of commanding the cavalry of the Chinese Army, were discussing the military situation together.
It's just that unlike the three generals under Chen Wen's command, Sun Yu felt a little uneasy about this crude plan. It is not whether the advance force of the Nantang battalion can defeat the incoming enemy, but more whether it can lure out the garrison of Dongyang County.
After all, his current troops are too small, and this is the base he is ready to hold in the future, and he can't be ruthless in driving the residents outside the city to fill the trenches, so that's the only way.
Previously, the cavalry under Chen Guobao had already found out the news that Hengdian Town had sent people to Dongyang County for help, but now that Ma Jinbao had already gone to Taizhou, the officer in charge of the city guard and the magistrate of Dongyang County would finally choose to ignore this, or choose to expel the thieves, but it was difficult to determine for sure, so Sun Yu asked.
"It's okay, doesn't it work, do you have a second hand? There's always a trick that works. ”
Chen Wen's second move is not much better than this one, but unlike this one, that trick has been used before, although there were some small accidents, but the effect is not bad, this time I think it should not disappoint him.
It's just that whether it's the first move or the second move, it always depends on the speed of the messenger for help. At this moment, a messenger sent by Hengdian Town to ask for help was rushing to Dongyang County overnight.
Different from the other house slaves of the town mayor Feng's family, Feng Qi has been a slave in the Feng family's family since his grandparents, and he is a real family child, and even his surname has been changed to the master's family, so he can be trusted in the house, as if he is half of the Feng family.
Before the Qing army entered the customs, not only the Central Plains and Shanxi, but also the south of the Yangtze River had some turmoil, such as the Oolong Society, the Nose Shaving Class, the Tianmeng Kingdom, and the mighty Xudu Baitou Army, etc., which can be called innumerable.
Unlike their counterparts in the north, who were forced to rebel by corrupt officials and corrupt officials, coerced by gangsters, and oppressed by officers and soldiers, most of the peasant rebels in Jiangnan waved the banner of rebellion against class oppression, and the dictatorship was aimed directly at the large landlords, and most of the participants in these uprisings were domestic slaves, tenants, vegetable maids, and oppressed poor people.
However, in the face of the landlord class in the south of the Yangtze River, few of these rebels swept the country like their counterparts in the north, and even fewer were able to hold out for a period of time without being exterminated.
As the son of the family, Feng Qi is the house slave of the Feng family, Feng Qi's future wife is also the house slave of the Feng family, and Feng Qi's future heirs are the same as the house slaves of the Feng family, and so on. Once, Feng Qi also fantasized that one day he would be able to get rid of the identity of this domestic slave and become an ordinary person, even if he lived a poorer life, at least he would no longer be a slave who belonged to the master's family.
But Feng Qi was afraid, afraid of the Feng family's family law, afraid of the Ming army when the Xu Capital Rebellion was suppressed, afraid of the Qing army when Yin Can raised troops, and also afraid that he would not be able to survive if he left the Feng family.
In this way, year after year, Feng Qi is already a big man, but he still hasn't married. According to the custom, the marriage of the house slave is also decided by the head of the house, they will choose a tired maid like breeding livestock, or an ugly rough slave girl to match him, and then get the next generation of domestic children, and his wife will also be bullied by the head of the family at home, even lewd, who makes them domestic slaves?
But it is better to have a woman who can be a wife, hugging each other on a winter night and warming each other with her body heat, better than nothing. At least before that, Feng Qi was still waiting for the day when Master Feng would be able to give him a woman with great kindness, so that he could pass on the lineage and be able to get along with each other until today.
This afternoon, a group of thieves suddenly came from outside the town, led by a big cabinet called a mountain carving in Weihu Mountain, and his people looked a little fierce, but no matter what Weihu Mountain or a mountain carving, he had never heard of it. It's not just him, even the son-in-law is the head of a big family in the county, Master Feng, who has never heard of it, where did this group of guys come from?
It's just that this group of bandits is numerous, and they all look strong, and they don't look like they've been hungry lately. It was also this group of bandits who didn't seem to be easy to deal with, and when Master Feng couldn't retreat from the enemy after saying good things, he asked Feng Qi to go to the city to ask for help from the Feng family's in-laws, so that the county magistrate could send officials and troops to encircle and suppress him. And it was such a difficult task that Master Feng promised to arrange a wife room for him after retreating from the enemy as a reward.
This pie falling from the sky instantly smashed Feng Qi into the circle, the Feng family's in-laws are a big family in the county, and the son-in-law of the Feng family has recently gained a fame, it is said that even if he is in the county master, he can speak. Under such circumstances, it is not easy to call the officers and soldiers to encircle and suppress it?
Happiness was in front of him, and it was already within reach, Feng Qi hurriedly whipped the mule under his crotch and continued to hurry under the hazy moonlight.
………………
A few hours later, it was past noon, and in the cave of the city gate in Dongyang County, several Qing soldiers who were guarding the city were lazily leaning against the wall, standing there with spears in their hands like kowtow insects, and the general who was headed by him had already woken up from a small room near the left, and was considering whether to continue to sleep in this nap.
Jinhua in August can be called very hot, and even worse is after the rain, and the transpiration feels like entering the cage drawer. In such a season, even an old thief like Zhou Qingui has to hide from the heat, and except for Zhou Qingui, who is far away in Luochengyan, Jinhua has no thieves who have the courage to attack the county seat at the moment.
So, let's get some more sleep.
The general manager turned over, and his back was already in the direction of the city gate, and at the city gate at this moment, two monks who seemed to be sixteen or seventeen were walking towards the outer gate.
"Captain Zhang, didn't Brother Yu already bring in the people of the Special Operations Team, what are we still doing in the city?"
"Still called the captain?! This is Dongyang County, there are hundreds of Tartars in the city, if you want to die, don't involve so-and-so. ”
Hearing this, the monk stuck out his tongue and made an apologetic expression, which could be regarded as exposing the fallacy of the title just now.
Seeing that the monk had already realized his mistake, the monk at the head continued: "Go in and see, there is always a benefit, if you forcibly attack the city, the people of the special task force will go to seize the city gate, and the two of us will call Brother Yu to assassinate Zhixian, that is a lot of credit, junior brother of the abstinence." ”
Hearing the idea of assassinating Zhixian, the monk immediately smiled, the head of the Lin team who led the team to capture Zhixian last time was promoted to one level, even if it was counted with the credit of seizing the city gate, the assassination of Zhixian would never be a small credit. But when the Dharma name came out of the mouth of the monk in charge, his eyebrows and smiles immediately turned listless, as if he had been deflated in an instant.
Emptiness is color, and color is emptiness; Emptiness is phase, and phase is emptiness; Phase is color, and color is phase. There is really no difference between the three words in the eyes of Buddhism, but why should those two fools be called Jiekong and the other called Jiexiang, and he Yang Kai should be called Jiese?
This title had been bothering him for more than a month, but he didn't dare to give advice to the person who gave him the title, and he only mentioned it to his other two companions, which became a laughing stock. It's just that he doesn't know the bad taste of the person who gave him the Dharma name, and if he knew, he still wanted to change the Dharma name.
It's just that just when Zhang Jun was looking forward to being able to write down the great merit of assassinating Zhixian in the merit book after capturing Dongyang County, and Yang Kai was still worried about the matter of the law number, several sleepy insects in the city gate cave also discovered them.
"Stop!"
