When Hu Guang arrived at the compound where the refugees were temporarily isolated, he found that the soldiers called the Heavenly Army were surrounding the courtyard of the lobby, and there was no imaginary conflict, more as if they were watching a play.

Seeing him coming, they flashed out of a way, and Wulan, who was standing inside, immediately greeted him, and said with a little crying and laughing: "Second uncle, this matter has not happened before, and I don't know how to deal with it, so I have to invite you over." ”

Hu Guang nodded, since he came, he naturally came to deal with it. As he walked to the inner circle, he asked, "What is it?" ”

At this time, he had already seen that the large courtyard in the inner circle was densely kneeling and full of refugees, probably all the men, women and children of Zhangjia Village were here.

At the front of these people were kneeling some older and better dressed people. Around them, there were also some young men and women, judging from their clothing and demeanor, they seemed to be from several families.

Wulan pointed to the people in front of him, and said to Hu Guang a little helplessly: "Second uncle, when Dingguo was registering, they made a fuss after they asked to understand how to place them in various teams. These people stopped the other villagers and prevented them from registering, saying that they had to decide the affairs of their village. ”

Hu Guang frowned when he heard this, looked at the people in front of him who had turned their heads and asked, "Who are they?" ”

"The leader in front is the patriarch of Zhangjia Village, and the three people next to him are their clan elders. and their sons and daughters-in-law......"

Listening to Ulan's introduction, Hu Guang understood. In ancient times, especially in the countryside, the government did not go to the countryside, and all the clan elders and squires managed according to the clan relationship, which was equivalent to the soil emperor in the village.

I heard that they were going to break up all the people in their village, and they had no power to manage the villagers in the future, so they didn't want to stop them.

Thinking about it like this, Hu Guang remembered that his original team happened to be put together because of people from all over the country who couldn't survive. Later, he was killed by You Shilu, which destroyed some dependency relationships that might still exist, and there was no clan relationship.

Now this Zhangjia Village happened to be driven over by the whole village, so they brought the clan relationship over, which reminded me that I must pay attention to this situation in the future.

He was thinking about it, and the patriarch who was the leader already knew that Hu Guang was the leader, so he immediately faced him, knelt down and said, "This lord, you have to be the master of the villain!" The rules passed down from the ancestors are also recognized by Emperor Taizu, and the people in the village have always been managed by the clan......"

When the others heard the patriarch talking, they all looked at the young official and waited for the matter to progress.

Hu Guang was funny when he heard it, could it be that this patriarch didn't know that he was a rebel, and he was still an adult. He couldn't help but laugh, interrupted him expressionlessly and asked, "Do you think that I am from the government and will make decisions for you?" Let me tell you, we are the Heavenly Army who killed officials and rebelled, and we are against the imperial court! ”

The patriarch was stunned, and no one said anything when they came. And when I arrived at Fugu County, it was already evening, and I thought that it must be officers and soldiers in the city.

In fact, they can't be blamed for this, because the Heavenly Army has not yet unified its uniforms, and the composition of personnel is everyone, including the old military households. They were all still wearing their original clothes, and it was no wonder that people in these mountain villages who didn't often go out couldn't tell the difference for a while.

Hu Guang didn't give up, and continued to scare them: "When you entered the city, did you see the human head hanging on the city's head? That's the head of the Xuanhua General Soldier of the Imperial Court! ”

At this moment, the patriarch obviously stepped back a little, huddled together with the other clan elders. With fear in his eyes, he looked at Hu Guang, and then looked at the soldiers around him who were called the Heavenly Army. At this time, they suddenly realized that these people seemed to be very different from the officials and soldiers in their impressions.

"We're not robbers, we're just people who can't survive. If you have somewhere else to go, I won't force you to stay, just go ......."

When Hu Guang said this, he waved his hand to ask the soldiers of the Heavenly Army to get out of the way, and at the same time turned around, his tone suddenly became cold and said: "If you want to stay here, you have to listen to the arrangement." Haven't you heard that I am in charge of my territory? ”

No one left, even if they had never seen the world again, no matter how smart they were, they knew that if they went out of the city in this kind of ghost weather, not to mention whether they would encounter robbers, even if they froze to death.

The patriarch hesitated for a while, a flattering smile appeared on the old man's face, and he said to Hu Guang: "This ...... You see, this king...... Seeing that there are so many of us, all of them are from the same village, can the old man take them, it's more convenient to do this, isn't it? ”

When the elders of the clan next to him heard this, they were all nodding their heads in response.

Hu Guang didn't speak with a cold face, stared at them for a while, and then glanced at the villagers who were kneeling on the ground, and when he saw that they were all hairy, he suddenly shouted coldly: "Come on, take a few of them down for me." ”

The soldiers on the side were already impatient with them, and if they hadn't known that Gongzi was benevolent and righteous, they might have dealt with them in other ways, and according to their temper and habits, they would have done it a long time ago.

Now, as soon as they heard Hu Guang's orders pointing to the leaders, they immediately pounced like wolves and dragged them down in a commotion.

After the patriarch and clan elders disappeared into the compound, the crowd immediately quieted down, and both adults and children looked at Hu Guang with fear on their faces.

But at this time, Hu Guang's face softened, and even showed a smile, and said to them: "I said, we are just people who can't survive, and we are actually similar to you." We gather together to do the right thing for heaven, kill the wicked, and defend the good, which is the people's own team. As long as you don't do evil things and don't harm others, you don't need to be afraid of us! ”

"Gongzi Renyi, why don't you go into the city last night, give you a house to live in, and give you food?" Hu Hansan looked at the opportunity and asked them loudly.

Hearing him say this, these villagers obviously changed. They don't know much, but who is good to them, they naturally have a number in their hearts.

"Now it's up to me to make the decision for you, and you can tell me if you have been bullied in the village or not, and what kind of bullying you have been subjected to. I am here to call the shots for you, whether it is the patriarch or the patriarch, as long as he does a lot of evil, the retribution is today! ”

Hu Guang said that he suddenly had a plan in his mind, and in later generations, he would fight local tyrants and divide the land, which was supported by the vast number of poor and middle peasants, and the team was expanded.

That you can also be at the end of the Ming Dynasty, although you can't divide the land for the time being, but you can divide the things of the landlord's local tyrant's family. Just as at this time, if you give some food to the poor, you will naturally be grateful. I don't want to get a return immediately, and after a long time, justice is naturally in people's hearts.
