However, Hanjia Village is not an isolated paradise, and even if it is hidden deep in eastern Sichuan, it will be affected by the great turmoil of the late Ming Dynasty.

After the summer wheat harvest is completed, it is time for the bandits and bandits everywhere to go out to loot the summer grain, and the officers and soldiers of Dongxiang County are also ready to make a windfall in the name of suppressing the bandits after the bandits.

And the bumper harvest of Hanjia Village has already become a piece of fat in the eyes of all forces, and everyone wants to take a bite.

The stubborn bandits who gathered in the dog hole in Shengdun Mountain are the largest bandits in Dongxiang County, and their main force is the rout of Zhang Xianzhong who stayed in this area when he moved to Sichuan between the thirteenth and fourteenth years of Chongzhen, but it has grown to thousands in just two months.

Naturally, the officers and men of the inspection department in Zhangjia Town did not dare to do anything with this group of bandits, even the more than 1,000 households stationed in Taiping County and this group of bandits were still each other's well water and did not interfere with river water.

This group of bandits is called Scarface.

On the tenth day of the fifth month, Scarface took more than 500 people down the mountain and went straight to Hanjia Village.

In Scarface's eyes at this time, the Hanjia Village, which was filled with the aroma of wheat grain, was like a big girl who could pinch out the water, waiting for him to strip off his clothes and take possession roughly.

Looting a village is not a war, and bandits such as Scarface rush up with a howl like a pack of wild dogs that have met their prey.

The people who were cultivating wasteland outside the village were directly hacked to death by them, and they did not think so, pulled out their bloody knives and continued to rush towards the entrance of the village.

Hanjia Village is still peaceful as usual, and the villagers are busy harvesting the last batch of summer wheat to return home.

As the tulou and barracks were still being built, the training of the sergeants was gradually relaxed, and everyone was busy with the construction wholeheartedly.

Du Xiaoyuan also agreed to Yang Ming's request and set up a school in a cave at the east entrance of the village, teaching children classes every day, and adults also taking shifts every night to receive literacy education.

Heaven and earth are yellow and the universe is desolate

The sun and the moon are shining, and the sun and the moon are listed

The cold comes and the summer goes to the autumn harvest and the winter is hidden

Leap into the age of the law Lu tunes the yang

……

Dressed in a light blue plain dress and holding a bamboo whip, Du Xiaoyuan taught the children to read a thousand characters as she walked, while Yang Ming would sit in the grass pavilion on the side and watch the shadow of Du Xiaoyuan teaching the children in his spare time.

Such days passed quickly and leisurely, and it seemed that the disturbances outside had nothing to do with him.

But just when Yang Ming was once again immersed in the sound of reading aloud, a deafening sound of gongs and drums sounded outside. This is the siren sound when Hanjia Village was attacked.

Yang Ming immediately ran out of the grass pavilion, and Du Xiaoyuan also put down the bamboo whip, walked over and asked, "What's going on?" ”

At this time, Lan Guanwei ran over: "Son, the people who were farming outside the village fled back and said that a large number of bandits came from the direction of Muyun Mountain, there were hundreds of people, and they killed people when they saw them. and Yan Lao Mazi's family was also slaughtered. ”

"Childe, I just came back from Muyun Village at the east entrance of the village, and I saw a lot of bandits, we should do this, Childe!" Dr. Lan also came over at this time. Gradually, Liu Hei, Yang Dazhu and other villagers surrounded Yang Ming.

"Doctor Lan, I'm really right, this bandit will come to loot every summer and autumn when he harvests grain, but I thought that Sichuan was not a wheat-producing area, and the bandits would not look down on it, but I didn't expect it to come", Yang Ming said calmly and then sat on the grass pavilion, not saying anything, but his brain was running rapidly.

Now the army in Hanjia Village has a total of 240 people, and Yang Ming divided this into four standards, each with three teams, with 20 people as a team. In order to get a good grasp of the construction, only one bidder is responsible for guarding three passes every day, one bidder is training, and two bidders are involved in the construction of earthen buildings and barracks.

Now, it is Cao Laosan's third standard who defends the four passes, with a total of only sixty people, and he has to guard three gates.

These three walled gates are named after the mountains where they are located, from east to west are Muyun Village, Xiaocheng Village, and Luzhou Village; Fortunately, these three gates are now reinforced with stone and mortar, and are no longer wooden bamboo poles.

The most important thing now is to keep the bandits out of the village, and the bandits are now mainly concentrated in Muyun Mountain, which means that the defensive pressure of Muyun Village is the greatest, Yang Ming immediately ordered after thinking about it: "Lan Guanwei, you immediately send someone to pass on my order, all the building and harvesting work will be stopped, and then you will personally bring the first standard to reinforce Muyun Village, and you can't let a bandit in!"

"Yes! If the bandits want to enter the village, unless my first target is dead! "Lan Guanwei and the other 240 people have become qualified soldiers after months of training, and there is no need for Yang Ming to speak bitterly.

"Liu Hei, you and your second target will quickly increase the defense of Luzhou Village and Xiaocheng Village, in case the bandits are frustrated in Muyun Village and turn to attack the other two villages!"

"Dazhu, half of your fourth standard people will find a way to bring back the corpses of the villagers outside the village, and half will go everywhere to gather all the villagers in the school field, just say that I, Yang Ming, have an urgent notice!"

Scarface and other bandits are here to steal food and kill people, not to fight hard. And they didn't know that there would be an army in Hanjia Village, so the closer they got to the village, the slower they went, because most of the bandits were slow to ravage the village girls who unfortunately fell into their hands. After they vented, when the beast's blood boiled and came to the entrance of the village, they found that there were still gates and retaining walls in this Hanjia Village.

The disapproving Scarface smiled: "Hmph, do these Diao people think that they can stop Lao Tzu by repairing the wall?" Then he ordered: "Second stunned, take your people to knock the gate open, don't talk nonsense with the Diao people above, I don't believe they dare to do it!" ”

Responsible for defending Muyunzhai is the fourth team of the third target, and the captain of the fourth team is Chen Dahari, who was injured when he annihilated the bandits. The only thing Chen Daharizi thought of when he saw so many bandits before was to escape, but now he can't escape, because Gongzi has told them countless times that behind them is his homeland, and if he escapes, it will be all over.

Chen Daharizi smashed his fist on the battlement, and ordered: "Zhang Laosan, Li Wazi, you rush back and tell Gongzi about the current situation, and tell Gongzi to send someone to reinforce Muyunzhai quickly", and then said: "The rest of the people will move a boulder to block the gate of the village, and then each person will move a stone up and down to smash it!" ”

The bandit leader named Ertunzi immediately rushed over with a hundred people, they didn't care about Chen Daharizi and the others above, in order to facilitate hitting the wall, they actually threw the knife directly on the ground, and then directly hit it with their bodies.

In fact, at this time, the gate has been blocked by more than a dozen big men in the village to move boulders, these hit for a long time can not be opened, and above, the third standard and the fourth team of people have raised the stones in their hands and threw them down, and more than ten people were killed in an instant.

"His grandmother's, these Diao people really dare to do it, Lao Tzu wants to kill you all!" Seeing this, Scarface was furious, and shouted directly: "That bow and arrow shot them to death, so the brothers will give it to me, Lao Tzu will storm this Hanjia Village today, and then kill all the men, women and children here!" ”
