Some villagers such as Zhang Yuanwai and others even put forward the idea of letting Yang Ming directly claim to be the king, which is also related to the idea of fame and fame of the Chinese people since ancient times, but more people are still concerned about how to better defend Hanjia Village, such as retaining wall reinforcement, walled gate reinforcement, and various trenches and fortresses.

No matter what kind of idea, as long as you dare to put it forward, it is better than rotting in the pot, Yang Ming now also agrees that the villagers should focus on defending their homes, although they cannot blindly rest on their laurels, but now the conditions require them to strengthen self-protection in order to expand externally.

And now although the Ming Dynasty is about to die, the hundred-legged insects are dead but not stiff, especially in the southern provinces, including Sichuan, most of the gentry and people still support the Zhu Ming Dynasty.

Even local warlords like Zuo Liangyu did not dare to call themselves kings and emperors, and they were clearly against the imperial court, not to mention that they were just a small talent, and when the Ming ruling system had not completely collapsed, they still had to follow the rules of this ruling system.

You cut the land to protect yourself, you can, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, no one says about you, but if you raise the anti-flag and change the yuan to the emperor, you have to weigh whether you have the strength to fight against all the warlords in the world.

And he, Yang Ming and Hanjia Village, are now just a few ants struggling in the mountains, and any powerful warlord such as Li Zicheng's Ma Ke stationed in Hanzhong, and Zuo Liangyu of Huguang can easily crush him and his Hanjia Village.

Not to mention these people who have left a great name in history, like those who have no names, such as Yu Dahai of Taiping County and his boss, and Zeng Ying, a general of Kuizhou stationed in Wanxian County, which is not far from here, are not something that he Yang Ming can resist.

"The opinions put forward by all are very good and comprehensive, and I have recorded them all, and the first goal that can be clearly identified is to endeavour to expand the army to more than 500 men within three months; The second goal is to strengthen the defenses of Hanjia Village, so that it is difficult for the enemy to enter, and if they enter, they will not be able to escape;

"Of course, none of this can be done overnight, it will take all of us to work together; Just now we have counted out that in the battle to repel the bandits and defend the homeland, a total of 36 people died in our village, of which the army suffered 15 casualties, and the largest casualty was the seventh team of the third target, only the captain Chen Daharizi and Zhou Dabang survived;

However, this is not their shame, this is the glory of their seventh team, it is because their seventh team did not flinch in the face of more than five hundred bandits and won time for our victory with only twenty people completely blocked, so they are the greatest heroes! ”

"Applause, salute like our heroes!" Yang Ming was the first to applaud as he spoke, and the villagers below also applauded, and Chen Daharizi and Zhou Dabang, who were still a little depressed, were suddenly speechless with excitement, and tears welled up in their eyes.

Maybe this is the power of honor, these two people have to be so tenacious from beginning to end.

"Chen Da Harrier, they are amazing, the three of them were surrounded by hundreds of bandits, they killed dozens of bandits, and Chen Da Harrier alone solved more than 20 people, I don't know and think he is an inner family, who knows that he used to be just a firewood seller, so the hero doesn't ask where he comes from",

Yang Ming laughed for a while, then solemnly said again: "Despite this, we still have to feel sorry for the thirty-six villagers who died in the hands of the bandits, they are all our flesh and blood relatives, but now they have left us, whose fault do you say this is!" ”

"It's the bandits' fault, we're going to let them pay for their lives!"

"Yes, let them pay for their lives!"

The villagers were excited again.

"Bring them up! Accept the judgment of all the villagers in the village! Yang Ming shouted, and Scarface and the other thirteen bandits were dragged up by the five flowers.

Perhaps they never imagined that they would one day be interrogated by a group of ordinary people, and the villagers of Hanjia Village have never felt as strongly as they do today how cool it is to be a master with the power to judge.

"Scarface, whose real name is Qian Gui, a native of Yanzhou, Shandong, aged thirty-six, is the mastermind of this robbery of Hanjia Village, killing a total of eight innocent people, ** innocent girl, immediately beheaded, do you agree?"

Before this, Yang Ming had already screened these bandits, and now they were just put on the table for the villagers to see, so as to stimulate their blood.

"Agreed!"

"Well, which of you can do it!" Yang Ming asked loudly.

"I'm coming!" He Xiaoni's father, Uncle He, walked up: "Son, I want to avenge my daughter!" ”

"Okay, give Uncle He a knife!" Yang Ming stepped aside as he spoke, and Lan Guanwei handed a knife to Uncle He, Uncle He, who was in his fifties, was the most active one in this battle to defend his homeland, he had never even killed a pig before, and he killed more than a dozen bandits this time, and he also left several scars on his body.

Scarface didn't expect that he just wanted to rob some food and slaughter some people by the way, but he ended up being a prisoner.

But now it's too late for him to regret it, and Uncle He, who is old and strong, swings his knife and slashes down without any hesitation.

"Wang Liuzhi, whose real name is Wang Ming, a native of Yuncheng, Shanxi, aged 27, killed three of our villagers, destroyed three acres of seedling fields, burned down a thatched hut, and was guilty of a lot of crimes, and was immediately beheaded, do you agree?"

"Agreed!"

"Sun Dacang, whose real name is Sun Xiaogang, a native of Chongqing, Sichuan, his age is unknown, he killed one of the villagers and was immediately beheaded!"

……

Of the thirteen bandits on trial, all but one was sentenced to three years of unconditional labor in Hanjia Village because he was under the age of fifteen and had not killed anyone.

The villagers of Hanjia Village repelled the bandits in Shengdun Mountain and beheaded the bandit Scarface.

This also deterred the bandits of other cottages, and no bandits dared to come to Hanjia Village for a while, even the officers and soldiers of the inspection department who were ready to come to Hanjia Village after the bandits left were still cowering in Zhangjiachang.

After a bandit attack, the villagers became more aware of the role of defense, and without Yang Ming's words, they spontaneously participated in the construction of earthen buildings and barracks.

And after the summer solstice, it will enter the dog days, and the busy farming period will come to an end, whether it is a child of three or five years old or an old man in his sixties and seventies to help build soil and transport stones.

In just two months, the construction of seven tulou buildings was completed, and there are both open and hidden passages between these seven tulous, and a special drainage system has been designed.

Originally, it was planned to build six earthen buildings, but because a group of displaced people were recruited, seven were built. This is also the maximum capacity of Hanjia Village, and it will not increase in the future.

In addition, tunnels have been dug under each earthen building, and some can directly lead to the outside of the village, crisscrossing and crisscrossing the network, and if you don't turn around for three or five days, you can't grasp the mechanism here.

A two-meter-high wall was built one mile away from the periphery of the seven earthen buildings, all of which were covered with brick walls, which were fired by several old craftsmen in the mountains for three consecutive days and three nights.

And all kinds of walls have been built in this mile, and only one person can be allowed to pass through each wall, so that it just forms a situation where one man is the key to ten thousand people.

In addition, in addition to the small walls of the earthen buildings, there are also many huts and warehouses used for pig raising, grain storage, iron smelting, etc., which can be described as intricate and orderly, and if people from outside the village come in, they are afraid that they will get lost.

Outside the high wall is a two-meter-deep ditch, and the water of several large ditches in the mountain is brought in, and the high wall fills the ditch to form a village version of the "moat".

The water from the trenches is then channeled into the tulou within the high walls, and then flows out of the ditches to the small river at the east entrance of the village.

The three gates are also being reinforced with newly fired bricks, and according to Yang Ming's arrangement, the gates are expanded into a zigzag shape, divided into two gates, the inner and outer gates, once the bandits break through the outer gate and enter, they will be attacked by soldiers on both sides.
