Chapter 743: The Way to Win (Part II)

"What's this thing called?" Pan Shi Gong, who has been stiffening his face. Finally couldn't help but ask.

"Invincible cannons." Shen Mo said proudly: "This is the most advanced cannon in the world today, and the siege of the city is invincible. ”

"Is it really that powerful?" Pan Shigong didn't believe it, he had seen the guns of the officials and soldiers, and what kind of Fran machine hit the wall of the enclosure, at most leaving a big hole at the mouth of the bowl, which could not pose a threat at all.

"Let Pan Shigong personally shoot another day, won't you know if you won't be hit?" Shen Mo laughed and said: "This is a new thing, we haven't had it before." ”

While the two were talking, the prisoners who were tied up in a string were escorted by the officers and soldiers, and the most conspicuous of them was the prisoner car in front, which was strictly guarded by the brocade guards, as if they were facing a great enemy.

"Why is this person a little familiar...... The elders of the Wooden Stake Sect couldn't help but whisper, and finally someone shouted: "Isn't this Li Wenbiao's son?" ”。

"Li Zhen? Is it really Li Zhen? ”。 Everyone on the city wall exclaimed, "It's really him, I saw it a few years ago, it's like this!" ”

"Is it really him?". Panshi Gong asked Lord Jinglu for confirmation.

Shen Mo nodded solemnly and said: "Yes, that is the bandit leader Li Zhen, who was captured by our army three days ago. As he spoke, his gaze fell on a silver-armored general, and he couldn't help but nod approvingly.

That person is Qi Jimei, who has been missing for many days. Seeing the approving gaze of Lord Jingluo, he immediately grinned, who knew that it was like a dog's sinus wide open, and it turned out that two front teeth were missing...... He only returned to Longnan yesterday, and the group was all ragged, like savages, and was thought to be a bandit by the patrol, they repeatedly stated their identities, but they were still escorted to the Chinese military tent, and it happened that Qi Jiguang was in charge that day.

As soon as she saw his brother, Qi Jimei grinned and said, "The pot is ......"

"Pot?" Qi Jiguang carefully identified that this unkempt thing was indeed his younger brother, and said strangely: "Why are you talking like this?" ”

"The tooth has been bracketed...... Qi Jimei squeezed her eyes, and she didn't know whether to cry or laugh: "I caught a big fish." ”

Qi Jiguang looked behind him, and there was a man tied up with five flowers, who was also unkempt and ragged. I was happy and funny in my heart, so I had to say first: "Go wash it, and talk about it later." ”

So the guards took them down, fetched water and washed them without mentioning it.

When Qi Jimei turned back, she finally showed her true face and changed into clean clothes. Qi Jiguang saw that his face was covered with tiny scratches and lost his front teeth, so he couldn't help asking, "Why did these ** go?" ”

"I saw a guy with a piercing eye that day, running around with armor and wearing a helmet...... It is estimated that he is the big boss of the pot. Qi Jimei's words were leaky, and he had to listen carefully to understand that he had led people into the forest that day. At a glance, he saw a large man in fine armor, escorted by several samurai, hurrying to the east, and he did not hesitate to catch up.

It is said that the forest is deep and dense, and it is easy to chase and lose, but the shiny scale armor on the man's body and the yellow, orange and orange helmet on his head emit dazzling light all the time, guiding the direction of the pursuers, but he did not get rid of it when it was dark.

The armor finally stopped reflecting at night, but Qi Jimei had already chased out the feeling, it was the kind of mysterious feeling that he didn't need to look and knew where the other party was running, although the other party was familiar with the mountain road and had many changes, he was still like a maggot on the tarsal bone, chasing after him.

When the dawn of the next day came, Qi Jimei found that there were no personal soldiers around her, and there was only one target left in front of her, as if everyone else had been swallowed up by the night. But the goal was still on the way, and he didn't have time to think. I could only stare at it, gritting my teeth and catching up.

By noon the next day, they had been running for a whole day and a night, and they had already lost their armor and even their weapons, and they were running with their bare hands, almost naked, in the knee-high grass in the early autumn mountains.

The physical strength of both sides has long been exhausted, and the chasing is about to collapse, and the chasing person is also unconscious, all relying on an inertial mechanical step to move his legs. The two of them had to be fast together, slow together, and they would never be able to catch up with this posture - until a great river crossed in front of them.

Qi Jimei's eyes were already spinning, and seeing that the other party was standing by the river, she didn't think about it, and jumped up...... In fact, he is a foot away from the other party, and if he can pounce on the other party at once, it will be called hell.

But the big man who was being chased was also dizzy, and when he saw him pounce, he jumped into the river without thinking about it. With the sound of him falling into the water, Qi Jimei really fell face down and ate.

Qi Jimei had already passed the limit, and she relied on her strength to support it, and this fall was discharged, without any strength in her body, she barely turned over, spit out two front teeth, and her mouth was full of blood: "Go to the ball, elbow ...... in shabu" and gave up completely. Lying on the ground panting for breath.

Who knew that in the whirlwind, he seemed to hear a cry for help, and tilted his head to see that it was the big man who was diving into the water, and he was struggling while screaming: "Help us, I can't ...... water."

Qi Jimei was already desperate, but when she saw the peak turning, she gave birth to another force, struggled to get up, and said in a dumb voice: "Don't move, I'm here to save you......" and jumped into the water and swam desperately to him.

Who knew that as soon as he touched him, the big man was like an octopus, entangled his body, and Qi Jimei was so shocked that he thought he had been attacked, and quickly struggled away, so the two sides pushed and hugged in the water, and became entangled.

During the struggle, Qi Jimei suddenly found that she could step on her feet and suddenly woke up from the chaos. Take a sharp step back, then fly up with a kick that knocks the opponent into the water. The big man struggled again, shouting, "Help, help...... and the splash was eight feet high.

"Stand still and don't move," Qi Jimei shouted, bluffing the other party for a moment, "Let's see if you can drown?" ”。

The man looked at Qi Jimei blankly, and then looked at himself, and found that the river had just not been hairy. It turns out that I've been scaring myself all along...... There was a shy expression on his face.

In any case, Qi Jimei caught someone, and with two slashes, she unloaded the other party's two arms. This trick is too convenient, not only eliminates the possibility of the other party's resistance, but even deprives him of the right to escape...... Running without arm balance has only one result, which is to fall to your death.

They went ashore with all their might, and both of them lay on their backs drenched in water, panting like dogs.

After a long time, the big man regained some strength, tilted his head to look at Qi Jimei and said, "I've never seen you as a soldier like this, chasing us so hard, we owe you money?" ”

"If you run, I'll chase." Qi Jimei's actions have long proved this.

"How much do you get a month?" The big man couldn't understand it: "Can you be so desperate?" ”。

"It's not about money," Qi Jimei looked up at the air, for the first time felt that the clouds were so white, the sky was so blue, as if the world was wonderful, and said lightly: "I don't want to be just Qi Jiguang's younger brother for the rest of my life, but I'm not as powerful as him, how can I do it if I don't work hard?" Of course, these words are paraphrased, and Qi Shen will come into close contact with the pebbles on the ground during that hungry tiger pounce, and as a result, two front teeth died honorably.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

But no matter how embarrassed he was, he succeeded after all, especially when he was interrogated and found out that this person was Li Zhen, one of the four bandit leaders, Qi Jimei raised his eyebrows and smiled all day long, as if he was afraid that people would not see his dog sinus.

When Shen Mo got the report, he was overjoyed, because Li Zhen's arrest made his waist strong at once, and it was also a huge deterrent to those difficult She old men.

Really. After confirming that Li Zhen was captured, the eyes of these people looking at Shen Mo changed, in addition to the usual estrangement, they were also a little more surprised and in awe, and even Pan Shigong's speech and demeanor became less comfortable.

Also, if you can capture Li Wenbiao's successor with a small test, then the good days of other rebels will come to an end.

At this time, the triumphant officers and troops were in front of the city gate, lined up into a strict military formation, between the ranks like knives and rulers, swords and guns were lined up, flags were dense, war horses were all in unison, and the birds were silent. The ten cannons also squatted silently in front of the military formation, and the muzzles of the black holes pointed high at the people on the city wall, causing great coercion.

Pan Shigong and the others became silent, and the eye contact between them was also full of panic and worry, the official army has indeed turned upside down, no longer disturbing the people and causing trouble, no longer loose and lax, but has become strict military discipline and strict military order, these positive changes will definitely have a huge impact on the situation in southern Gansu.

Pan Shigong's face showed a thoughtful look, he didn't see the ceremony in his heart at all, his eyes kept staring at the silent back, thinking about how this magical young man could be so magical, he could quickly pinch a ball of loose sand into a ball? With this hand alone, the old man knew in his heart that the arrogant guys like Lai Qinggui and Xie Yunzhang would not be his opponents.

So should we adjust our strategy towards the government? It wasn't until the end of the ceremony that everyone was invited back to Jinglue Mansion to participate in the celebration banquet, and Panshi Gong made up his mind and said, "Let's take a look first, but try not to offend him, and we can see each other in the future." ’

The banquet was set up in the backyard of Jingluo Mansion, but this temporary line was too cramped, and there were not so many tables in the room, so they were simply set up in the courtyard. There were twenty-five tables in total, ten people per table, all of whom were eating under the sun, but fortunately, the autumn sun was not poisonous, and it was much more comfortable than in the house.

In order to eliminate the estrangement, Shen Mo deliberately arranged the seating, each table has Wen and Wu, there are Shan Ha and Hakka, let them sit with each other, and earlier instructed a cadre of civil and military affairs, to take this banquet as a task to drink, who can get along with the atmosphere and make friends with each other, who will make meritorious contributions, otherwise, wait for the board.

With the silent pre-arrangement, the civil and military who participated in the banquet naturally did not alienate the old people of the She nationality around them, and had to try to communicate with them to see if they could complete the tasks of the adults. As far as the elders of the She clan are concerned, although they have a high status in their own clan, it is the first time to drink at the table with these big officials, and it is indeed a little flattering, so they are also cautious to accept it.

But wine is a good thing to shorten the distance, toast each other a few times, three or five glasses down, the face becomes red, regardless of identity, they all begin to call brothers and sisters, and the atmosphere gradually becomes lively.

The main table was set up in the small pavilion in the east of the courtyard, and he silently let Pan Shigong sit beside him, accompanied by a general army governor. Pan Shigong has something, and naturally understands what this table of crimson official robes means, these big people who can't usually see him, actually talk to him in the next head, which makes him a little unbearable, and he is like sitting on pins and needles there.

Shen Mo saw that he was uncomfortable, and said with a smile in the courtyard: "Panshi Gong, look, they have all started to drink, let's relax." Following the point, Panshi Gong saw that those sect elders had already mingled with the people in the government, shouting five and six to drink, but it was really fresh.

"I never thought that the big officials could sit at a table with us mountain people and drink...... Pan Shigong couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

"Why not?" Shen Mo smiled gently: "Everyone is a descendant of Yan and Huang, since they were born on the land of Shenzhou, they are the same noble, why do you artificially set boundaries?" ”

"What you say is really different." Pan Shigong said softly: "From what I have seen in the past few decades, most of the Han people can look down on us She people. ”

"yes, it's history." Shen Mo said: "Although most of your ancestors are from the Wei and Jin dynasties, after all, they have been separated from the outside world for thousands of years, and there are differences in language, customs, culture, clothing and other aspects," said with a smile: "If the two races want to be equal and respectful, it will take several generations of efforts." ”

"Will there ever be a day?". Pan Shi Gong didn't believe it.

Shen Mo said goodbye to the words, and said with a smile: "I heard that you have a saying, 'It is better to call your daughter at home than to find your mother-in-law's house in the south of the mountain', what does this mean?" ”

"Hehe, my lord actually knows this." Panshi Gong said with a smile: "In the village north of Longtou Mountain on our side, life is quite passable, but the land in the south is very poor, and every family is so poor that they can't afford to wear pants, and even bandits don't patronize it, who wants to marry a girl and suffer from it?" ”

"Look down on people?" Silent laughter.

"Sort of...... Pan Shigong nodded, "If you are poor, you will be looked down upon." "There are old people who talk one by one, which makes the communication very smooth.

"That's it." Shen Mo said lightly: "Discrimination is because of poverty, and then there is estrangement. ”

Panshi Gong thought for a while and said, "You are right," said with a bitter smile and said: "But generations have lived in this mountain, and poverty is our life." ”

"Not necessarily." Silent and mysteriously smiled: "I have a way to make the people rich, do you believe it or not?" ”

Pan Shigong stared at Shen Mo, seeing that he didn't seem to be a fake, but after all, he still didn't have the confidence to say: "My lord, don't you don't like to hear an allusion to me." ”

"Please." Silently poured him a glass of wine.

"Fifty years ago, there was a big man who also came to our governor." Panshi said fairly: "His name is Wang Shouren." ”

"It is the ancestor of the lower officials." Silence said solemnly.

"Is he amazing?". Pan Shigong asked.

"Both civil and military, through heaven and earth." Shen Mo was full of respect and said: "It takes five hundred years to produce a sage." ”

"How is the adult better than him?" Pan Shigong asked again.

"Far less." Shen Mo said calmly: "It's like the difference between the stars and the moon." ”

"That's it......" Pan Shi Gong sighed: "After he suppressed the bandits, he also thought of many ways to solve the problem of poverty in our southern Gan - if the common people can eat enough, who will rebel?" This is also a principle among the mountain people. ”

Shen Mo nodded slowly, and couldn't help but look at the old gentleman with admiration.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Regardless of what Wang Shouren has done to us, he is indeed a wise man." Panshi said: "He told us that the lack of water and the barren mountains in southern Gan make it low in yield, and we can only barely make ends meet by growing grain alone, but once we encounter natural and man-made disasters, it will soon be difficult to survive, let alone get rich." ”

Shen Mo nodded in agreement. In the collection of letters of Yang Ming Gong, he did see his research on the livelihood of the people in southern Jiangxi, and remembered that he said, "Although the rice in southern Jiangxi is lacking, the fields and mountains are located in the open area, the sunshine is abundant and there are few insect pests, and the bamboo and wood are quite fertile. ’

But the results seem to be out of nowhere......

"He thought of a lot of ways and tried to plant a lot of things, but they all failed." Pan Shigong said gloomily: "There is only one reason, and that is that there is no road...... I don't know how much it cost to transport those cannons in? ”

"That's enough to make ten more doors." Shen Mo nodded slowly and said: "I understand what you mean, it's easy to grow things, but it's difficult to transport them out, even if it costs a lot of money to ship them out, the cost is too high...... No one is going to do this kind of business. ”

"yes!" Pan Shigong picked up the wine glass, drank it on his back, and said hesitantly: "Unless you can build a road out, you will have to stay poor!" As he spoke, he looked at Shen Mo with red eyes and said, "My lord, can you fix it?" ”。

Shen Mo slowly shook his head and said: "No, I have calculated it with someone, this is a big project of one million taels, and I can't come up with this money." ”

"Yes......" Although he had already prepared in his heart, Pan Shigong still sighed in disappointment. However, he is still very satisfied with Shen Mo's honesty, and if the other party says 'yes', he will think that Shen Mo is deceiving himself.

"But I have a way to overcome this." Silent turned his words around, and he actually threw out such a sentence.

"What's the solution?" Pan Shi Gong asked in a deep voice.

partition

On the 7th, I want to go back to my hometown and pick up my grandmother to Qingdao for the winter, and I will bring it back and forth for three days......
