The old village chief walked up, looked at the boss of the Guan family who was kneeling on one knee, and then looked at the other two Guan family boys, the Buddha was like looking at his own children and grandchildren, he was very comforted, some proud, pointed to the three in turn, and said slowly: "Company Commander Fan, this is the boss of the Guan family, called Guan Tianpei, eighteen years old this year, knows some martial arts, don't look at his youth, his ability, three or five big men can't get him, he wants to join the army since he was a child, and he is determined to lead soldiers to fight."

"This is the second child of the Guan family, Guan Renjie, who loves to read since he was a child, is fifteen years old this year, and the last one you know, it is Guan Wazi, don't look at him small, very sensible, then again, this Guan family is also an outlier in our Lijia Village, not only the three sons are well versed in etiquette, can read and write, but also a literature and a martial arts, within a radius of ten miles, the old man I can pat my chest and pack a ticket, there is no second family like this."

Fan Changsheng did not express his position, did not say whether to accept Guan Tianpei, but looked Guan Tianpei up and down with interest, and his expression showed approval, at this time, Guan Tianpei hugged his fists again, and said in a loud voice: "Company Commander Fan, please accept me, follow you to overthrow the Qing court, only by overthrowing such a corrupt court can we keep the land you have given us, and we can live a stable life, and no longer suffer from the oppression of those corrupt officials and tyrants." ”

One word woke up the person in the dream, even the old village chief was surprised, and understood the implicit meaning of Guan Tianpei's words, and the surrounding villagers were not stupid, they all reacted, knowing that if they wanted to keep their land from being deprived, they had to contribute to the Manchu Qing Dynasty together.

All of a sudden, dozens of young men rushed up to the surroundings, knelt on the ground, and said briefly and loudly: "Please General Fan to subordinate us, we are also willing to join the army, and take away the Manchurian Tartars as soon as possible!" ”

Since ancient times, especially when the dim and corrupt imperial court is in power, there has always been a saying among the common people, that is, a good man should not be a soldier.

At this moment, on the contrary, many young and middle-aged people are so unhesitating and determined to join the army, and the villagers who are watching all this around them have not spoken to stop them, even Li Erniu on the side is also very moved, but seeing the elderly father leaning on his body, he let go of a certain idea in his heart.

Perhaps it was expected a long time ago, knowing that there would be such a scene now, Fan Changsheng's reaction was very calm, he just smiled faintly, and glanced at the men in Lijia Village who were kneeling on one knee one by one, secretly appreciating this momentum, and automatically asked for the righteous act.

At this moment, Fan Changsheng had no reason to remain silent, and said loudly: "Everyone, please get up, if you want to join the army and join the army of the Qilin Army, you can report to the nearby states and counties, and join the army at various registration points, I think, if there are no accidents, you can all join the army." ”

At this time, the old village chief and his father just wanted to say something, but Fan Changsheng waved his hand to stop them, and he groaned slightly, seeing the puzzled looks of the young people, he continued: "I know, you want to go with us immediately, and you want to join the army now, but have you ever thought about being able to leave today?" And our company must return to Zhenjiang City before dark today and return to the team. ”

"That's why I asked you to join the army at the nearby registration point first, so that when you leave, you can make some more arrangements and handle things at home, so that you can leave with peace of mind, and when you fight, you can have less worries."

As soon as the words fell, there was silence all around, those young and middle-aged people didn't have to insist anymore, they must leave today, thinking about it, their good impression of Fan Changsheng was rising in a straight line, and their impression of Kongtongjun was better.

Fan Changsheng's expression became serious, he looked at the old village chief, and said solemnly: "Uncle Li, it won't be long, I won't stay in the village for too long, and in two or three hours, I will leave, so I have something to tell you." ”

"Company Commander Fan, if you have something to say, just say it, don't be so polite." Seeing what Fan Changsheng said solemnly, the old village chief also responded seriously.

"Uncle Li, that's the case, Li Papi and the land left by those bullies, you can look at it, and distribute those lands to the villagers according to the situation in the village." After saying this, seeing that the old village chief wanted to postpone it, he hurriedly said: "Hey, Uncle Li, don't postpone it, this matter will bother you." ”

At this time, the dog on the side and his father also came to the heart, and said helpfully: "Village chief, you can agree, in this village, you are the highest in rank and the most prestigious, this matter belongs to you, don't live up to the kindness of Company Commander Fan." In any case, this is also a great thing, benefiting the whole village, as the village head, you also have an unshirkable responsibility. ”

"Well, then I'll do it with the old man." At this point, the old village chief had no choice but to agree, and proposed: "However, for the sake of fairness and justice, the whole process of handling the matter must be carried out under the supervision of the whole village. ”

"Well, if you do this, it will be even better~!" Fan Changsheng was surprised, he didn't expect the old village chief to propose like this, without any hesitation, he immediately agreed, and continued: "Uncle Li, I still have one more thing I want to discuss with you, I don't know what you think?" ”

"Oh... Company Commander Fan, what's the matter? You might as well say it and see if the old decay can do it before you can make a judgment. Seeing that Fan Changsheng didn't say it clearly, the old village chief responded with reservations.

Seeing the old village chief's concerns, Fan Changsheng said directly: "Uncle Li, this is the case, during this time, our Qilin army is bound to attack all the cities in Jiangsu and Anhui, in this way, it will inevitably cause a short period of turmoil, there will be a chaotic time, when the time comes, it is inevitable that there will be some deserters from the Qing court wandering around, once they break into the village, it is bound to make the lives and property of the villagers lack security." ”

Hearing this, feeling Fan Changsheng's words, the old village chief's heart suddenly suddenly, his face showed worry, he knew what Fan Lian Commander meant, and knew that this was by no means unfounded, just imagine, when a dynasty changes, there is not a chaotic buffer period?

After thinking about it, he couldn't help asking, "That, Company Commander Fan, what do you say our village should do?" How to get through this chaotic time? ”

At this moment, even Guan Tianpei, who was clamoring to be a soldier, and several people around him were worried, a little uneasy, worried about the safety of the people in the village.

Fan Changsheng was very calm, and when he saw that the atmosphere had reached the expected effect, he was nervous and dignified, and then continued: "Old village chief, this is the case, after our company leaves, before those young and middle-aged people in the village are going to join the army, I hope you will organize it, send the strong laborers left in the village to the city, receive short-term training from our army, and teach them how to use some weapons." ”

Seeing that the old village chief was still a little puzzled, the people around him were also very puzzled, and said again: "As long as the villagers learn how to use those weapons, you can set up a militia brigade in the village to protect the safety of the village. ”

While speaking, the policies formulated by Yang Lin were like springs, which made Fan Changsheng think quickly and gushed endlessly: "Moreover, whenever the farming is slack, send these militias to the barracks in batches for systematic training, so that the militia's combat power is getting stronger and stronger, and the more they can resist greater threats, once they are unable to do so, they can ask for help from the nearby garrisons, as long as they release a distress signal, those garrisons will definitely come to support you." ”

In an instant, all the surrounding villagers were relieved, and the heart in their throats was completely put down, and they secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and those young and middle-aged people who were going to join the army were also relieved, and their belief in joining the army became more and more firm.

When all the villagers of Lijia Village were in joy, Company Commander Fan and the others left and headed towards Zhenjiang City, and such things in Lijia Village were fermenting, and they happened one after another, affecting the entire southwest region of Jiangsu, and spreading to the surrounding villages and towns.

However, in more than a day, under Yang Lin's special promotion and entrustment, one company after another acted in some villages, doing things similar to those of Fan Company Commander and others, fighting local tyrants and dividing the land, this action echoed Yang Lin's actions with a large army to attack some big cities in Jiangsu, and completely cut off the foundation of the Qing court's rule in Jiangsu.

Starting from the south, the young adults in Jiangsu began to become restless, ready to move, ready to rush to the registration point at any time to join the army, just waiting for the village militia organization to be implemented.

Everything is being interpreted in a good way, and Yang Lin's policy of not disturbing the people has been implemented, making their actions smoother and winning the approval of the people. (To be continued.) )
