Today, all the important people of the Wang family in Laosi City, except for Uncle Hu who went to the city gate to sit in the town, all gathered in front of the Zhongyi Temple.

It's just that the iron bull guards the door, everyone knows his temperament, who dares to go in? They could only ask each other outside the gate, but no one knew why the head of the house suddenly gave the order to beat the war drums.

waited for the drum to sound three times, and saw that Wang Shihua was still kneeling in the lobby in a daze, without any intention of getting up. Uncle Jiang had to approach the door and shouted, "Family master, it's time to get up." ”

Wang Shihua wiped his tears with his sleeves, raised the incense, bowed to the ancestral tablet three times, got up and rubbed the incense into the incense burner, looked up at the gold medal again, and turned around to go out.

"Master, what's wrong?"

If Uncle Tiger is the head of the generals in Lao Sicheng, then Uncle Jiang is the representative of Wenchen, and Uncle Tiger is not there, so he must ask everyone for the reason.

"Ergouzi, send someone to prepare torch wine." Seeing that the second dog immediately told his subordinates to do it, he said to Uncle Jiang beside him: "I want to start the torch wine." ”

"Ah..." Uncle Jiang was anxious, and hurriedly caught up with Wang Shihua and asked, "Master of the family, the old slave dares to ask: Why do you want to start a torch wine?" Who is the target? ”

"You go and ask him..."

When Uncle Jiang saw it, he turned around and ran towards the messenger.

As they walked, they listened to the messenger...... For Wang Shihua: It is not good for him to start a war for a married woman of the Wang family, he will be truthful, but he can't help but take revenge, and the storage of torch wine solves this difficulty for him.

Torch wine... The name sounds bold, but it's actually human blood...... Not only the enemy's, but also their own.

Torch wine is an iron-blooded way of revenge by force in Xiangxi and the surrounding areas, which has been passed down for thousands of years: from the initial battle between families to the fight between clans, it is also a procedure before the rebellion, and finally, it gradually evolved into internal and external torch wine. The only difference between the two is that the inner torch wine is called on the children of the clan, and they can set off immediately; The number of people who can participate depends on the personal prestige of the initiator.

The purpose of the torch wine is clear: to kill only for the sake of killing... Kill the target's entire family, whether men, women, or children, mercilessly. But they will not take a stitch from each other, let alone touch each other's women, all the seizures will be smashed and burned on the spot, and they will never be taken away. And whoever dares to dissuade or obstruct it will fight to the death. Wei Mingzhi: Once you drink the torch wine, in addition to killing all the targets, as long as you don't mess with him, he will never mess with you, even if you do something unconscionable in front of them, they will only walk in front of you indifferently.

To be able to participate in the torch wine, to dare to participate in the torch wine, not only warriors, but also dead soldiers... Because the initiator can be forced to this step, the strength of the other party will probably not be worse than the initiator, under the premise that either you die or I die, how dare you not hang your head on the waistband of your trousers...... To put it bluntly, torch wine is a death squad... It's just that there are more rules.

Except for providing the necessary weapons, ammunition and food, there will be no reward for those who start the torch drink, and even if they die in battle, their families will not receive any bereavement, but most of them will be compensated in other names afterwards...... Rules are dead, people are alive... Those who can start torches and drink are among the best people in the area. When the participants survive after the fact, they will naturally be treated differently by the initiators, which is equivalent to an invisible investment and promotion channel. Especially for those who want to join the initiator, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, which is equivalent to 'casting a name'. Now the only one who dares to pose in front of Uncle Tiger Uncle Hook is Uncle Hook, and his grandfather took refuge in the Wang family by participating in the torch wine.

This kind of high-risk entry has high returns, and the participants are completely voluntary. But once this bowl of wine is drunk, unless he dies in battle or the matter is over, anyone who quits halfway will only die, and even his family will be laughed at...... In a way, the participants had to have the ruthlessness of an outlaw and dare to gamble with their lives...

The most tragic and typical torch wine occurred in the early Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, when the goods of Xiang's family were looted by the Japanese invaders, but only one of the more than 30 people ran back to report the news. At that time, the Xiang family launched two torches in succession: the first time was that the strongest warriors of the 100 clans went over, looked for a whole half a year, and then faced more than 400 Japanese warriors, these 100 warriors actually launched a counter-charge, except for one messenger, all of them died heroically. Later, the eldest young master of the Xiang family made an exception to launch the internal and external torches and wine at the same time, and the four major surnames at that time responded one after another. Five hundred warriors and more than 600 pirates slaughtered from morning to night, killing in the dark and bleeding, and finally killed most of the pirates. Later, the eldest young master of the Xiang family took the remaining nearly 300 warriors to chase and kill this group of scattered and fleeing pirates everywhere along the coast.

And the indifference that best reflects the torch wine is that in the pursuit of this group of pirates for more than a month, they encountered several groups of pirates, but they passed by them without moving.

In the end, under the guidance of the guide, they found the lair of the Japanese on a small island, fought to the death, and finally only returned 177 people. In addition to the people of the other three families who went home separately, there were more than 30 heroes who came to help each other, all of whom were solemnly invited to join by the Xiang family. The Xiang family did not give them any subsidies at that time, but three months later, the head of the Xiang family personally gave a generous pension to all those who helped them, in the name of 'too much money to be used'...... This is a hard battle encountered by the Japanese invaders to disturb the Ming Dynasty, which caused a sensation in the world, and the weak Ming Dynasty had to ask the ethnic minorities in the southwest to dispatch hardcover warriors to fight against the Japanese invaders. The original recruiters of the Megatron Qi Army were the toiling masses along the coast...... Interestingly, it is probably to maintain the face of the imperial court, or to say that they look down on the barbarians in their mouths, such a major event can only be passed down by word of mouth to this day, but there is no mention of it in the official history.

"The head of the house has arrived~..."

The originally noisy scene immediately fell silent, and in silence, everyone bowed their heads...... This is the respect and courtesy of the head of the family.

Wang Shihua jumped onto the big table, looking at the black press, more than 6,000 men and women of the Wang family, all carrying guns and knives, a little proud and a little excited.

"The reason why I sounded the war drum order is because my Wang family has not had a war drum order for more than 20 years, and I want to see if you have forgotten its existence. Now, I'm glad that you're enjoying peace and haven't forgotten it. ”

It turned out to be just a test, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Also, I called everyone here because I was going to start the torch wine."

Everyone was shocked and began to discuss.

Wang Shihua beckoned, and dozens of subordinates who had been preparing on the side for a long time carried the table, held the bowl, and carried the wine jar...... It was quickly placed behind Wang Shihua. And in the open space behind Wang Shihua, there were fifty guards standing there with loaded guns. In front of them, ten light machine guns and three small steel cannons and their ammunition were placed.

In the course of these people's actions, the voices of the people gradually disappeared, and were replaced by solemn faces and solemn eyes.

Ten large tables were lined up, each of which was covered in red cloth, and thirty bowls, two jars of wine, and two torches, were stacked on each table, except for four more bowls at the first table.

"There are two hundred and fifty men besides them. Who would dare to drink this bowl of wine and follow me to kill the enemy? "Of these fifty guards, twenty-five will be the captains of the other two hundred and fifty people, each commanding ten. Fifteen people will protect Wang Shihua closely, and ten people will be new artillery cadets led by Pete.

"I... I... I ......"

Wang Shihua's eyes were shining and he raised his arms, and the responders gathered.

Countless men rushed behind Wang Shihua with guns and stood with the five rows of guards. In a way, it confirms the old saying: wealth and danger seek... Now that the Wang family is peaceful, if you want to be promoted by boiling your qualifications, I'm afraid that your beard will have to wait for white, so it's better to have a fight...... Among Wang Shihua's three hundred guards, not to mention the treatment of generals like Tieshi and Erhu, the most ordinary team members are all fed and sheltered, eaten, drink and eat meat, and are given ten oceans a month, and there is a subsidy of 30 catties of rice per month in this year of famine, not to mention other rewards and a better future. If there is something at home, the team members can also ask the head of the family to approve some subsidies, which can generally be agreed. Who doesn't envy?

"Two dogs... Point people..."

The second dog immediately started counting from the guard's side.

Three hundred strong counted: The joiner smiled very happily and boldly, and was not selected to look back enviously as he left.

"Please, Karma (Bodyma: Master. Roughly Ma: The honorific title of the powerful mana)..."After roaring, Wang Shihua jumped off the table and took the lead in kneeling in front of the table.

A barefoot man dressed in straw, with pheasant feathers on his head and his face painted in a variety of colors, came up dancing the Maogus dance while chanting aloud incantations that no one could understand. Behind him, there were ten more sturdy men dressed in similar clothes, the only difference being that they did not have pheasant feathers on their heads.

Tima danced and sang around the ten large tables, and then circled around Wang Shihua, pointing at Wang Shihua from time to time to chant a few words, or draw a talisman...... After more than twenty minutes, all ten disciples ran out, and soon rushed back again, with two more big roosters in their hands, and only one disciple with three big roosters in both hands.

Tima took a chicken, gestured to the heavens three times, bit the cockscomb, Wang Shihua drew a charm in front of his forehead, and then took the machete handed by the disciple, cut off the head of the chicken, and threw the chicken to the ground.

Both the audience and the three hundred people watched the chicken's reaction.

After the chicken's body fluttered on the ground for a short while, the chicken's neck fell and pointed to Wang Shihua's left, which immediately caused a cheer, as if winning a battle...... In superstitious thought, the chicken's neck is pointed to the left of the person who started the torch wine, indicating a qiēshun lì, which will surely win a great victory; On the right, it's just the opposite, and it needs to be done again by Tima and ask the gods to change the sentence.

Under the command of Tima, each of the ten disciples stood at a table, cut off the head of the chicken, and dripped the blood of the chicken into the wine jar. In the end, with a machete stained with chicken blood, Tima drew a charm on each jar one by one, while chanting a mantra. After drawing the charm for the last wine jar, Tima screamed, fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth, rolling her eyes, and was quickly carried away by the four disciples.

The six disciples left behind unhurriedly wrapped each wine jar bag and torch with a red cloth half a meter wide and one meter long......
