At the end of August of the fourth year of Chongzhen, Zhang Mengjin and Cai Xiaozi, who found that something was wrong, gathered some people and stationed in their respective nests. At the same time, he secretly released news to the degraders around Ningsai, saying that Yang He, the governor of the three sides, was dissatisfied with the recent performance of the degraders, and was planning to work with the officers in the fort to punish the people who made trouble.

Originally, because the supply of food and salary in the imperial court was insufficient, and the rewards for war achievements were not issued, and the demotes who felt very unhappy were once again led by Ru Chengming and a few others to make trouble. Staff General Wu Hongqi and several other officers thought that they had mutinied and hid in the official residence and did not dare to come out.

Shen Yikui quickly arrived with someone at that time, saying that these things were pure rumors, and he had already sent someone to communicate with the governor. The Governor-General, knowing that they had served the country faithfully, had made great contributions in stopping the Mongols' movements, and was planning to reward them. At the same time, Yang He's official document was also presented.

Seeing that the original big palm plate came out to refute the rumors, he also stated that the governor was about to give a reward. Everyone is a little skeptical about this. But immediately after, Shen Yikui pulled out some silver and grain, saying that this was a reward from the imperial court.

Although it's not much, the imperial court really doesn't have money now, but it will find a way to continue to make it up in the future, and everyone will use these to find a way to cushion their stomachs first. They can continue to ask the Governor, who must have scraped together some money and food by the time.

I heard that the money and food did not come from Yansui Town, the poor warehouse that could starve to death rats. Instead, it was directly made up by the governors of the three sides, and everyone began to believe in Shen Yikui's statement.

Immediately afterwards, Shen Yikui said that this time to receive the reward, everyone can launch a trustworthy person to supervise, and personally receive the reward from Yang He, and no one will dare to deduct everyone's reward silver with a similar statement of envy.

Based on the prestige of the original big boss, and they did see Yang He's official document, they no longer gathered to make trouble. Instead, they each took a little money and food and dispersed, and at the same time recommended Ru Chengming around mid-September, led by Liu Jin, a henchman of Shen Yikui, to go to Yang He, the governor of the three sides, to receive the reward.

Zhang Mengjin, Cai Xiaozi and others, who were still a little suspicious, saw that everyone had settled down, and there was indeed an official document from Governor Yang He. Therefore, they also recalled the people they sent out to muddy the waters, and quietly watched from a distance to watch the changes in the situation after that.

After Zhang Mengcheng received the news from his eldest brother, he also suppressed his thoughts, thinking that he should have thought too much. After all, Yang He is the governor of the three sides, as the most powerful military and political chief in the entire Shaanxi military town system. I don't think I would do something that would damage my prestige to the soldiers in the fort under him.

Therefore, Zhang Mengcheng also stopped the daily vigilance of the Jindingshan cavalry, and instead put all his thoughts on the autumn harvest. Zhang Mengjin privately recruited more than 100 people in Huanxian County, and all of them were also invested in the production activities of Jinding Mountain.

“…… The leaders and minions at the top of Artemisia saw that the leader of the show in the village actually hit the center of the arrow target with nine arrows in a row. They were all speechless in shock, and their mouths were open enough to stuff two eggs. The leader of Zai Xiucai also came back to his senses, and felt that it was really a bit unreasonable to not give his future father-in-law face like this. He compared with his father-in-law again, this time his father-in-law shot eight shots in nine, and the leader of Zai Xiucai shot six shots in nine shots, and the two sides just tied the game. This not only shows the majesty of Zaijinding Mountain, but also gives the mugwort the top face, and does not hurt the harmony of the two families. ”

Wu Dayong described what he saw and heard at the top of the mugwort in a vivid voice, and felt that he was a little dry. He stopped, and at the same time took the water handed by the brothers around him, and drank it in large gulps. After drinking the water, he stroked his chest to relieve his breath, and at the same time grabbed a dried sweet potato and put it in his mouth and chewed it.

"You've drunk this water too, you should continue to talk, what are you talking about?" Zhang Shuangxi, who was sitting in the crowd, knew that there was something wonderful behind. But seeing that Wu Dayong was drinking water and panting, he chewed dried sweet potatoes again. Suddenly felt that Wu Dayong was grinding, so he opened his mouth impatiently to urge.

And Zhang Zhaoliang, the follower next to Zhang Shuangxi, also urged with him: "Speak quickly, speak quickly." If I rub these dried sweet potatoes any more, I'll take them all. "His father and his brother are both stewards in the village, so Zhang Zhaoliang's family has a surplus of food. This time, in order to listen to the story, I specially stole some dried sweet potatoes from home.

Wu Dayong swallowed the dried sweet potato, drank another saliva, and then spit out and said to Zhang Shuangxi: "Why are you so numb (you kid) (I don't know what to do), and I can't drink saliva even if I'm hungry (dialect I)." And you (Zhang Zhaoliang), this little broken pine (little fart child), aren't you just some dried sweet potatoes, Nian Saimo has seen Lie (who hasn't seen it). ”

Although Wu Dayong's words were not uncommon, his hand still did not stop, grabbed a large handful of dried sweet potatoes and put them directly into his arms, causing Zhang Zhaoliang to roll his eyes.

However, Wu Dayong continued to talk about it later, although the content was a little exaggerated in some places, but on the whole, it was still said according to the facts.

The people who gathered around to listen heard that Cai Zhongguang and Zhang Mengcheng were tied in the competition for riding. They were all a little surprised, and they didn't expect that the leader of the mugwort peak also practiced obstacle crossing like them.

And when Wu Dayong said that Zhang Mengcheng used his riding and archery skills to defeat the people at the top of Artemisia again, he also became excited. But then when they heard that Zhang Mengcheng was knocked to the ground by the other party with a line gun three times, everyone felt a little incredulous.

After hearing that the people at the top of the mugwort kept making fun of her, they were a little indignant. However, when Wu Dayong used the method of first suppressing and then promoting, he said that Zhang Mengcheng relied on a wooden stick to show his might, first knocked the opponent's helmet flying, and finally directly lifted the whirlwind team off the horse. Everyone was hooked again, and hurriedly asked him if he had any next story.

But after a while, someone felt a little doubtful and said: "The leader of the show in our village has great skills, we have all seen it." But I have seen a lot of arrows shot by the leaders of the village. In addition to the Fan leader and the car leader of the sentinel team, there is also the horse leader of the right wing team who has done it, but I have never seen the leader of Xiucai hit all nine arrows. ”

Seeing that someone questioned himself, Wu Dayong directly pointed to Ma Jinzhong in the crowd and said: "If you are hungry, you know that there will be people who don't believe what hunger says, you went over to ask Jinzhong, and he also saw it." ”

Ma Jinzhong was just sitting in the crowd and joining in the fun, and saw everyone looking at him. Ma Jinzhong also smiled and said: "Xianggong is very skilled, all nine arrows hit the target circle, and the last arrow directly hit the bull's-eye." ”
