Chapter 10: Tibetan Savage Ridge
Chen Lin cried because he saw the plague and countless deaths, so he returned to the study and threw books. But when he saw Chen come in, he hurriedly suppressed his crying and didn't speak. I only heard Chen Zhi say: "Eldest brother, this plague, my father has countless people alive, and no one in the county praises my father, but it is a small county order." Big brother should have the world in his heart, and don't be so disheartened. ”
Chen Lin looked at Chen Dao, and felt that his little brother could still be like this, as a big brother, how could he give up easily. Chen Lin stood up straight, nodded to Chen Zhi, and said, "Heart the world."
Since then, Chen Lin has become more and more diligent, and he came to see the old lady with his family on this day. The old lady said: "The new farmers have also settled down, but they are only clearing the land every day. The county is noisy, tomorrow, you will lead the little family to go to the countryside with me, and work hard in Chenjiabao. "The little family that Mrs. Chen said is the 368 young family members.
"Grandpa is going to the countryside?" The reason why Mrs. Chen wanted to build Chenjiabao was to spend her old age in the countryside.
On the second day, Mrs. Chen picked dozens of nursing homes that were willing to follow in the countryside, all of them were nursing homes of a certain age, nursing homes with families, and selected more than a dozen family slaves and maids, and the group went to Dingguan Village.
Since then, the old lady Chen has lived in Chenjiabao in Dingguan Village, and dozens of nursing homes, even the original subordinates, there are dozens of family slaves, the big housekeeper Chen Bao and the nursing home Huang Long want to live with the old lady in the countryside to retire, and they will not go anywhere, and there are 368 small families with Chen Lin to live temporarily.
Chen Lin discussed with Old Lady Chen that he wanted to train this group of small family members into elite loyal men, and Old Lady Chen also asked Chen Lin's uncle Lin De's caravan to do only one thing, that is, to buy war horses from Youzhou and other places, if it weren't for the fear of alarming the government, he would have raised enough 368 horses, and he could only bring dozens of them each time, but he had to make a few more trips. And Linde also said that in previous years, he only bought slave horses and ploughing horses, that is, bantam horses, but now he wants to buy war horses, but it is not so easy to get, so it will take some time.
Chen Lin really only studied books, practiced calligraphy and martial arts in Chenjiabao, and the little family members were not idle, and the big butler of Huanglong was in charge every day. In Mrs. Chen's study, there are only two grandfathers and grandchildren. Chen Lin: "Grandpa, Bo Zhi wants to go to Savage Ridge." ”
Old Mrs. Chen: "Well, is it credible to be able to pass three times?" ”
Chen Lin: "After three knives, he was also a person who was divided, and he had to be a thief, and then he was mostly slandered." Although he entered the green forest, he was always able to abide by it, and he had promised to help me, but he was by no means an unfaithful person. Now back in February, there is not a lot of correspondence. ”
Old Mrs. Chen: "Well, Bo Zhi must remember that you should not treat people badly, but you can't do it well." Uncle Zhi will go if he wants to go, and Grandpa is also relieved. Just because Tianshou said to me, Bozhi is successful in martial arts, hehehe, he can get a praise for Tianshou, I don't think it's bad, I have two hearts after three swords, and I can't bear you. Hehehe, can you know the height of Tianshou martial arts? ”
Chen Lin said: "But it is above the county lieutenant Yuan. ”
Old lady Chen laughed: "Hahaha, Tianshou martial arts are not what you have seen, if you do your best, Yuan Wuju should not be able to live for a round, alas, just because Tianshou is indifferent to fame and fortune, and I feel the grace of Grandpa's help back then, I don't want to leave, otherwise, it is more than enough to be a general." ”
Chen Lin was shocked, he couldn't imagine that Huang Huyuan would be so brave. Mrs. Chen said: "But those who are famous in history have some skills, but there are also a few people who have lost some opportunities and are unknown. Bo Zhi keep in mind that people can't look like the sea can't fight, and they can't look like people," Chen Lin felt deeply reasonable, and was busy.
On the night of the second day, by the moonlight, Chen Lin led 20 small family members, first went east for half an hour, and then went north, and then half an hour, and then entered the Savage Ridge Mountain, and he had three knives to greet him personally. It is not good to ride horses in the mountain, everyone dismounts and walks, in the middle of the mountain, the bushes are thick, the strange stones stand in a forest, it is black, and there are occasional wild wolves howling, which is very scary.
After walking in the mountains for an hour, Chen Lin was led by the three knives, and finally arrived at the big village where the three knives were crossed. The village stands on the top of a mountain peak, but Chen Lin doesn't know how a good end of a mountain peak is being sawn down by someone halfway up the mountain, and he doesn't know how to find this good place with three knives. Cliffs on all sides, there are more than ten zhang high, only a sheep intestine path leads directly to the village, about two zhang wide, but at the door of the village is a wooden wall, also two zhang high. Behind the wooden wall is the top of the hill that has been sawn down, full of wooden houses, and there are even some vegetable patches, which are no different from ordinary villages.
Chen Lin followed the three knives into the largest wooden hall, Chen Lin was not modest, he sat in the right position, and there was no difference when he saw the three knives. Asked: "When there is no one, I will call you Chen." Chen Lin came in all the way, and after seeing Sandao's demeanor and the appearance of the cottage, Chen Lin knew that Sandao was indeed truly loyal to him, so he simply gave Sandao a surname Chen, so as to buy people's hearts.
Guo Sandao hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "The slave thanked the eldest young master." "After three swords, it seems that the day when I will be good is not far away.
Recruited everyone, Chen Lin only left two small family members and three knives, oh, now it's Chen Guo, Chen Lin went up the mountain and didn't alarm the rest of the village, only a few people in Chen Guo knew.
"Chen Guo, tell me how this village is."
"Yes, young master, there are 194 people in the savage village, all of whom are young and strong, there is not much grain and grass, and the village occupies the entire mountain, which can accommodate thousands of people. The eldest young master, how to go in the future, please make it clear to the eldest young master. ”
Chen Lin thought for a while: "When I entered your village, it didn't look like I entered the strongman's territory, but it was like entering a rural village, except for a wooden wall at the front door, there was no difference between the rest of the rural villages. "You must know that forgetting the war will be dangerous, although the cottage is in the deep mountains, but you must not be careless, I will tell you today and you must write it down." "Two more stone walls should be built on the path up the mountain, and there will be an arrow tower behind the stone wall." "The people in the village must be your cronies, but those who don't listen to the order will be beheaded" "Contact me in the future, don't let others know, just a few people in the village know." "When I return, I will have someone bring you food, grass, knives and arrows, and you must be careful not to let anyone know about this." "In the future, the people in the village must practice every day, and do not raise useless people." "Now there are a lot of displaced people, you can choose them to enter the mountains and expand the team." "In the future, you will still go down the mountain to act, but you must not harm the poor people, only rob the rich and rich businessmen, but not the Chen family and the Zhang family." ……
Chen Lin told Chen Guo a lot, and Chen Guo finally understood that Chen Lin was going to train soldiers, this was a big crime of the Nine Clans, Chen Guo didn't care about this, he was a person who treated crimes, and the eldest young master of the Chen family was very good to the poor people, so what was wrong.
After Chen Lin finished speaking, he saw Chen Guo kneeling: "Young Master, after Chen passed, he was both a three-knife and a Chen Guo." Chen Lin understood that Chen Guo was showing loyalty. Chen Lin gave some orders, refused Chen Guo's retention, and went out of the mountain overnight, so as not to be in people's eyes.
The sky was bright, Chen Lin and the others had already returned to Chenjiabao, because they had not slept all night, Chen Lin had a short rest and it was already noon. Chen Lin came to see the old lady and told him about last night. The old lady thought for a long time before he spoke: "Well, Chen Guo has a shortage of food and few soldiers, but it is not easy to do, I have a way to transport the goods into the mountains." Bo Zhi made an appointment with Chen, and the Chen family pretended to deliver goods to Xinjian Grange, so they asked him to rob it, and Xinjian Grange was close to Savage Ridge, which was just right. ”
Chen Lin went out to do it, but was stopped again: "And let the ten horses be robbed together, and tell Chen Guo that the horses are only used for practice on the mountain, so that everyone in the village can ride a horse, but they can't ride down the mountain to commit crimes." ”
Chen Lin can be regarded as serving Grandpa, and he thought that Chen Lin would arrange the "robbery" by himself. On the second day, Yuan Wuju, the county lieutenant, received a report from the Chen family, and the entire ten truckloads of grain and grass transported to Xintianzhuang were robbed by more than 100 strongmen with three knives. ”
Chen Lin also used this incident as an excuse to recruit 100 new strong men in Xintianzhuang and train them to become armed tenant farmers to protect the Tianzhuang. These 100 people, all of whom carry bows and cross knives, and are not engaged in agriculture, are under the leadership of the two Chen family nurses all day long, screaming and running, making chickens and dogs jump. It is said that there is meat to eat from time to time, and I really envy others, and there are always young people in the grange looking forward to when the Chen family will recruit the village.
But said that on the savage ridge village, Chen Guo sent Chen Lin away that night, at noon, Chen Guo gathered 194 people in the village in the open space, Chen Guo jumped on a car, it is said that no car can push into the mountain, but it is this group of people who dismantled and transported it up and loaded it at the bottom of the mountain, all of them are from a peasant family, which is not a trivial matter.
This Chen Guo looked at everyone in the car, thinking of his eldest young master Chen Lin, and couldn't help but be full of energy. shouted to everyone: "A certain family is also from a poor background, if it weren't for that thing to kill me, I wouldn't have gone up the mountain and fallen into the grass, and I know that everyone has many similarities with a certain person." But although a certain family came up to the mountain, they did not bully the common people, but those officials persecuted them very much. A certain family is going to set up some rules for my savage village today, so that the world can know the prestige of my savage village in the future, but do you want it? ”
"I want to win" The minions were very excited.
"Wang San, Tian Niu, the two of them carved the Savage Village regulations on the wood, stood in the center of the village, everyone obeyed it, and everyone said, do you want it?" After another shout, Chen Guo continued: "First, in the future, when you go down the mountain to commit crimes, you will also look for rich people and rich businessmen and officials, and you must not harm the poor people. Do you want this? "The second, those who do not obey the order, cut off their heads and hang them on the wooden wall. Do you want this? "The village should practice every day, so as not to beat the official in the future, but you can get it"...... Chen Guo turned out to be a master of mobilizing morale, and a group of people were turned around by Chen Guo.
In the night, he received a notice from Chen Lin, Chen Guo took people down the mountain on time on the second day, in order to make the robbery more real, Chen Guo only left a few people to watch the house, and the rest all went down the mountain, the village was about to run out of food, and everyone knew, so they had no opinions.
When the robbery scene directed by Chen Lin happened, although the little family of the Chen family knew, he was still taken aback, good guy, there were 180 people, that person only shouted that his grandfather had three knives or something, and the family led by the Chen family pretended to be panicked and ran away with everyone, robbers who didn't know the truth, the coke was broken, when did the robbery become so simple.
Chen Guo hurriedly asked someone to move the goods, and after checking the number, the bandit next to him asked directly: "Guo (three knives) Master, this is not right, even if there is food, how can there be knives, guns, bows and arrows, and ten horses, I have never seen such a tall horse." ”
Chen Guo slapped the bandit on the head: "Silly, the more the better, I heard that a new grange has opened near here, thinking that the master's family was just going to transport knives and guns to the village, so as to guard against a certain family, but I was robbed by me." Everyone quickly packed up,, it's not good that reinforcements are coming. ”
Chen Guo took people back to the mountains for training, not to men, exactly: crossing the male ill-intentioned, Chen Bo went to the Tibetan Savage Ridge.
