Chapter 20 After the Great War, it is concluded that the villagers with nearly 1,000 people went down the mountain and entered the village.

The old man who cooks the rice picks up the scoop, the woman who saves the wounded picks up the stick, the girl and the children rush over with the stones, and the young men run and wield the stick.

The villagers' counterattack frightened Scarface and the others into fleeing, but the village was full of traps, and they were unfamiliar with it, so they were very wolf for a while.

Rats crossing the street, everyone shouting and fighting, has been fully reflected at this moment.

"Fight bandits and robbers!"

Once the villagers' battle ** is stimulated, it is unsympathetic. They don't know what it means to disarm and not kill, even if you kneel on the ground and beg for mercy, they have to do it, as long as you are a bandit, you will be beaten.

Many of the bandits, like the people they had bullied, were beaten to shreds even when they knelt on the ground.

Scarface and other dozens of bandits were not enough for the villagers to vent their anger, and in just a few hours, there were no more bandits in Hanjia Village, but everyone rushed out of the village without getting enough.

Chen Daharizi, who was guarding Muyun Village, saw a large group of villagers running over, and immediately panicked, and hurriedly came to find Yang Ming, who rushed over with the crowd, and said, "Childe, what's going on, there are so many people, I can't stand it." ”

"You just open the door, now the villagers have become wolves, if you don't let them go out to bite people, they will bite you", said Yang Ming personally moved the stones, and Chen Daharizi and others also came over to move the stones.

After a while, half of the cracks in the gate of the village were exposed, and the villagers who had been beaten with chicken blood rushed towards the bandits like beasts of a flood.

The current situation is no longer under Yang Ming's control, he only knows that the villagers of Hanjia Village have now brought the sentence "It is advisable to chase the poor bravely, and not to sell the name and learn the overlord" to the fullest.

"This", the bandit leader was also stunned when he saw this, his hands trembled a little, and he left his troops and ran away without saying a word, and his troops were also scattered when they saw this.

But where are the villagers willing to obey, if they don't let me see blood, I won't let you go back today, and when the villagers see one, they will surround and beat one another, and they will let this bandit shed dozens of lives.

When he returned, there were only a dozen people left around him, most of whom were either killed by the villagers or ran into the mountains.

A very dramatic Hanjia Village self-defense station ended, and the villagers who had been chasing for a day also escorted back a few bandits, not because the villagers were kind, but because everyone had no strength.

Scarface didn't know when he was found, and he was imprisoned in the village's water prison along with the other bandits, watched by more than twenty villagers.

In the evening, in order to celebrate the successful repulsion of the bandits, Yang Ming once again promised the whole village to have more food in the evening, of course, the highlight of the evening was not a big feast but a summary meeting.

Although he succeeded in repelling the bandits this time, after all, these are bandits composed of a rabble, and they are not very powerful.

Even ordinary people, as long as they dare to work hard, they can drive away these bandits, not to mention that the villagers of Hanjia Village have undergone a certain amount of training, and there are relatively regular troops, although there are only a few hundred people, but they are well-disciplined and dare to work hard in the troubled times at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

Maybe this is something that Yang Ming is thankful about, but he has to admit that after this self-defense war, it shows even more that in the troubled times, the gun is also the importance of military strength.

A few days ago, he gradually shifted his focus to construction, and blindly paid attention to the self-protection of the villagers, not knowing how to expand outward, so that he was complacent and ignored the various armed forces outside the village.

This time, they can defeat, but next time, if a thousand people come, ten thousand people come, what will he do, can he resist only a few hundred people? Even if you resist, how much does it cost?

What's more, in the future, not only bandits but also officers and soldiers, as well as Zhang Xianzhong, who invaded Sichuan three years later and launched a massacre, as well as the barbaric Tartars.

Therefore, Yang Ming gradually realized the importance of expanding the army, but Hanjia Village is only a village after all, with limited resources, and it is not enough to support a few hundred people, and it is even more impossible to raise thousands or even tens of thousands of professional soldiers.

Moreover, as more and more villagers join Hanjia Village, sooner or later Hanjia Village will reach the day when it will be saturated with people and land.

Therefore, no matter what, he has to have the heart to expand outward, and without tens of thousands of troops and enough land to support the survival of hundreds of thousands or even millions of people, he will not want to cede land to protect himself.

Yang Ming was unwilling to take the villagers as outcasts or as outcasts, so he decided that he had to expand and establish a larger base.

However, most of the villagers are content with the status quo and swear to defend their family's one-third of an acre of land, but it is too unrealistic for them to defend their national dignity and fight for hegemony.

Let's not say that the Ming Dynasty has not completely lost the hearts of the people, let's just say that although people today have the defense of Yixia, they do not have a strong national consciousness and emotion, especially ordinary people, it is still Emperor Zhu who also worships Emperor Liu, and the emperor changes every year, and life goes by as usual.

Moreover, even the bureaucratic gentry belonging to the ruling class did not realize that three years later, the Manchu Qing in the north would be the first major problem, otherwise the Hongguang period would not have proposed such a low-IQ strategy as "Lianyu Pingkou".

Not to mention, the people who can't read a single big character, the villagers of Hanjia Village only now know from Yang Ming that King Li Chuang's name is Li Zicheng, and he rebelled because the emperor didn't let him be a post pawn anymore.

Of course, this cannot be blamed on the ignorance of the common people, but on the foolish thinking of the rulers for thousands of years. The reason why the people are numb is that the level of education is limited and the guide is narrow-minded, just like in today's society, the popularization of education has improved, and you can't be stupid if you want to; Second, there is no one to enlighten and no one to sue them, all of which are related to their vital interests.

Yang Ming believes that as long as he works hard to guide and enlighten, he will always change some people, maybe he can't reverse the overall situation of history as a traverser, but he wants to work hard and strive to awaken more people.

But universal education is a long-term and difficult thing for Yang Ming, but what he can do now is to let the villagers of Hanjia Village know what their reasons are for doing this, and they want to tell them why they are doing this, so that the villagers can realize that I, Yang Ming, am not thinking about myself but for everyone, and let everyone participate in thinking about how to live a better life together.

At the summary meeting, Yang Ming said a lot, and he told the villagers the source of this bandit, why they came to our Hanjia Village, why they treated the people like this, why the officers and soldiers did not exterminate them, how many bandits are still in the world, how many bandits are more cruel than bandits, and what we should do.

Gradually, most of the villagers learned to think, and also learned to take the initiative to speak, and took the initiative to express their opinions on stage; And some people go to the other extreme, maybe people are born with blind obedience, some people are more and more convinced of Yang Ming's words as the truth, the more Yang Ming explains, the more they feel that as long as they believe in Yang Gongzi, everything is right, if anyone is inconsistent with Yang Gongzi's words, then he is wrong!

This was something Yang Ming hadn't expected, but now he didn't realize it.
