Grandma waved her hand: "My body is very strong, you don't have to worry about Yanqi, you can go if you want." ”

A glimmer of brilliance just appeared in Zhou Yanqi's eyes, and Wang Feng had already taken it over and said: "Auntie, that's not what you said, the ancient virtuous government never recruited only sons to fight wars, not to mention that you only have this one grandson?" Moreover, it is the time for Yanqi to grow his body in the past few years, and the marching and fighting are too hard, which will be detrimental to his future development and growth.

In this way, I propose a compromise to build yì, if Yanqi really wants to join my Taiping Army, in fact, you can wait a few years, and when he marries a daughter-in-law, it is not too late for someone to take care of you at home, Yanqi, you say? ”

"Alright then!" Zhou Yanqi thought that this was indeed the case, and responded with a little disappointment.

"My lord, I'm going to join the army, I'm twenty-two years old this year, and I have an older brother at home to take care of my parents, I meet your conditions!" At this time, an honest young man raised his hands in the air.

"My lord, I also agree, I want to follow you to fight foreigners and kill Tartars!" More than a dozen young people enthusiastically raised their hands to sign up.

Wang Feng was overjoyed, although the number of people who joined the army was small, but the significance was not proportional, Wang Feng's subordinates were all from the Qing army, they had to surrender to the Taiping Army, and cut off their braids, and they didn't even have a chance to turn back, the Qing court for the Taiping soldiers, beheading was the lightest punishment, and those with a little bit of identity were all on the street, and they didn't distinguish whether they were forced to surrender or join voluntarily, so to speak, the braids were cut off as bandits, and there was never a way back!

And today, the people actually volunteered to join the army, which shows that their troops have gradually gained the trust of the people, which is a very good start, for these hot-blooded young people, Wang Feng can not refuse, Hong Xuanjiao also handed over a surprised look.

Wang Feng was just about to take a sip, but there were two clear coughs behind him, "cough~~", implying a hint of warning.

Wang Feng turned his head and saw that it was the ground guard, and he still pretended to be a real cough, but when he coughed, those young people who enthusiastically signed up seemed to have been poured cold water on their heads, and their straight arms gradually softened, and some even shrank back!

After all, although the land security is not a court official, but the person who can serve as the land security is generally the clan patriarch or the most powerful rich family in the village.

Moreover, land protection is the immediate interest in the system, unless the ideological consciousness is high, such as Zhou Xiuying's father of the Xiaodao Society, who led the villagers to resist grain and rent, there is no reason to oppose the Qing Dynasty.

Collect some grain from the Taiping Army, he can still turn a blind eye, and he himself can get thousands of catties of rice, whose rice can't be eaten? However, the villagers joined the Taiping Army, which was strict, this is a bandit, and he will be detected by the court in the future, and he will be the first to raid the family and exterminate the clan, so as soon as he found that Wang Feng had an abnormal situation here, he immediately rushed to stop it.

Wang Feng stared straight at the ground guard, his eyes became colder and colder, the ground guard was sweating profusely, and he couldn't even see through the atmosphere, he was extremely embarrassed, on the one hand, he was obedient to the Qing court in his bones, and on the other hand, he was facing a bandit who killed people without blinking!

After a long time, Wang Feng's eyes eased and asked, "What's your name?" ”

"Back to the adult, the villain Zhou Deliang!" Di Bao replied with a hunched back.

"Hmm~~" Wang Feng nodded, and said: "Zhou Deliang, I will look at the longevity of people, call all your family members out to show me, don't miss a single one." ”

"This" Zhou Deliang showed an extremely uneasy expression on his face, he didn't believe Wang Feng's nonsense, but at this time, he didn't dare to say half a word, so he had to grit his teeth and said: "Please stay for a while, the villain will go home and call them." After speaking, followed by several armed soldiers, he walked towards a large mansion in the center of the village with a heavy heart.

"Wang Feng, are you going to take the land protection knife? Well! If the land protection is removed, the villagers can also join the army with peace of mind. Hong Xuanjiao followed.

Wang Feng smiled slightly: "Sister Xuanjiao, you think too much, I am not an unreasonable person, at present, the Qing court is powerful, and I can understand that I have scruples, I really want to meet his family." ”

"Humph!" Hong Xuanjiao snorted lightly, and lost an angry look, she didn't believe Wang Feng's nonsense, including the villagers, they all looked at Wang Feng with suspicious eyes, and whispered, if Wang Feng poisoned the Di Bao family, then the glorious image established before would collapse.

Generally speaking, although the land protector is relatively wealthy, his family property can not be regarded as ill-gotten gains, and it is through the diligent accumulation of several generations that it has today's scale, that is, the local tyrants in the countryside, compared with the rich merchants and magnates living in the city, have more or less retained some of the simple characteristics of the peasants.

Dibao's family, about a dozen, is not too extravagantly dressed, there is a wife, four concubines, three sons, two have become relatives, the youngest is sixteen or seventeen years old, has not yet married a wife, and there are two daughters who have not yet left the cabinet, the daughter-in-law and daughter look ordinary, but the four concubines are quite beautiful, and after about fifteen minutes, they stood in a row in front of Wang Feng.

Wang Feng's eyes swept over one by one, of course, out of a man's instinct, he stayed on the concubine, daughter-in-law and daughter of the dibao for a few more moments, which frightened the dibao family a lot, especially those women, who were trembling all over.

In their imagination, if they are taken away by the Taiping Army, it is better to be killed headlong and leave a clean body and a good name!

Hong Xuanjiao pinched Wang Feng's back very dissatisfied, and Wang Feng looked at the youngest son of Dibao, a young man who was Svenwen, and hooked his hand: "What is your name?" Have you ever read a book? ”

Dibao's youngest son was shocked, and he cowered and said: "Back to adults, student Zhou Fucai, who has studied in private school for a few years, passed the college exam last year, and won the show-talent test, and next year I am going to try my luck to go to the province to take the township test, and after that, I will lift people." ”

In modern society, the provincial college entrance examination is called the champion, so that modern people do not take Xiucai seriously, in fact, after comparison, Xiucai's intelligence is equivalent to a graduate student, diploma and earning ability are slightly inferior, about the college level, the young Hong Xiuquan was unanimously optimistic about the whole village can be admitted to the fame and glory of the ancestors, but three times in a row even the children did not take the test, it can be seen that a small village of several hundred people can show a talent is already a great thing.

Wang Feng was a little surprised, nodded and said, "Zhou Fucai, there is a shortage of money and grain masters in our army, you go back and pack your luggage and go with me." ”

"Huh?" Zhou Fucai was stupid, his face turned pale in an instant, and he served the bandits, he wanted to raid his family and exterminate the clan!

"Plop!" Zhou Deliang hurriedly knelt down, kowtowed again and again, and shouted loudly: "Please let the dog go, please let the adult be merciful!" ”

Wang Feng's face sank: "What? If you can go to the Qing court's fame, you can't serve my Taiping Army? Before I came, I released the five hundred villagers of Zhujiaqiao Town, and at that time I affirmed that I, Wang Feng, did not want to be the enemy of the Jiangnan squire, but if there is any collusion with the Qing court and my enemy, I will fight with all my might, and the disaster is coming, no wonder I did not say it was foreseen!

Today, you feel wronged, wait until three or two years later, Zhou Fucai will be a person in our army, maybe you will be grateful to me, okay, Zhou Fucai, give you fifteen minutes to pack up, otherwise the military law will deal with it! ”
