Chapter 15 The Situation in Yixing
Both sides of the mountain road fell into an eerie silence for a moment, and the bandits all showed disbelief, and the brave and invincible own Qu Shuai was defeated? Some people even rubbed their eyes, they were not mistaken, an ordinary spear was pointed at Xiang Mi's throat!
Xiaolan and Wang Man are just the opposite, they stretched out their little hands and slapped their hearts hard, and threw their happy beautiful eyes towards Wei Feng, just now they were nervous to death, they have also practiced some fists and feet, naturally they can see that Xiang Mi's knife posture is not a show, if he is not careful, he can only play with his life, and this thin man has never been defeated since he met, perhaps, he can really create a miracle!
Xiang Mi's face was like ashes, his eyes were scattered, and the cold slight stinging pain in his throat made him never feel that death would be so close to him, as long as Wei Feng's arm stretched out slightly, he would immediately turn into a cold corpse, and say goodbye to this shijie from now on!
The thieves didn't dare to speak, for fear of causing misunderstanding, Wei Feng retracted the spear, took two steps back, and hugged the spear and arched his hand slightly: "Brother Xiang's kung fu is good, I just succeeded in a lucky sneak attack, if Brother Xiang is unwilling, you and I can do it again!" ”
"Dangchang!" With a crisp sound, Xiang Mi threw the big knife aside, and said with a wry smile: "Your Excellency's moves are exquisite, your skills are flexible, if you lose, you will be defeated, and I Xiang Mi is not a sari!" After speaking, the tiger eyes swept around, and shouted: "Since you are invincible, you should follow the previous discussion, please follow a certain lord to pay homage!" ”
Xiang Mi took the lead in kneeling on one knee and solemnly bowed: "Subordinates see the lord!" In this life and this life, only fate is obeyed, if you have half a different heart, you will not die well if you thunder and struck that day! ”
The thieves looked at each other, and with the boss taking the lead, there was nothing to say, "Be long, be long!" The sound of falling began to sound, and one after another someone threw down the guy in his hand, and followed Xiang Mi to kneel in front of Wei Feng.
Xiang Mi glanced back, and saw that everyone knelt down, so he led everyone to give another salute: "I'll wait to see the lord!" ”
Wei Feng stretched out his hand to support Xiang Mi, and said with a slight smile: "Everyone, please get up, I won't say anything big today, just ask you to rest assured, follow me Wei Feng, I will definitely not regret it!" ”
"That's it, my subordinates understand!" Xiang Mi and everyone got up according to their words, and Xiang Mi made a gesture of invitation: "The cottage is five miles behind, please move the lord and the two ladies!" ”
Wei Feng nodded and said, "I'm tired, please!" ”
Xiang Milian didn't dare to shout, and led everyone to protect Wei Feng, Xiaolan and Wang Man, and walked towards Shanhan.
During the walk, Xiang Mi introduced: "The lord, the village is full of nearby villagers, it is really forced to the court to live, so I have to fall into the grass, now there are a total of 120 middle-aged men, and there are some old and weak women and children, all of whom are the families of our people, hehe~~ The manpower is a little cold, and I hope that the lord will not dislike it, but there is still two strengths." ”
Wei Feng waved his hand and said: "It's okay, the spark of the stars can set the prairie on fire, don't you think the overlord of Western Chu also swept the world with the eight hundred sons of Jiangdong?" Come, let me ask you, is there a similar stockade in this area? What is the scale? ”
Xiang Mi Luo groaned, and said: "In the territory of Yixing, there are about seven or eight large and small Hanzi, less than thirty or fifty people, more than four or five hundred people, all of them are poor people, they do not belong to each other, and there is no contact, the well water does not violate the river water on weekdays, and generally makes a living by plundering past merchants, but there are many looting, gradually, the notoriety of Yixing has also spread out, and recently, there are few merchants passing by, and several scholar estates in this area have also strengthened their vigilance, they have bows and crossbows, armor, and there is no chance of winning the attack, Everyone's life is not easy! ”
Wei Feng pondered: "According to what you say, there are only two or three thousand mountain bandits in Xingyi, how can they be so little?" When I came from Jiankangxing, I saw that everywhere was barren, and the people who did not work at all, where did all the people go? ”
When they asked this, Wang Man and Xiaolan were also secretly puzzled, and they turned their heads to look at Xiang Mi.
Xiang Mi didn't dare to be slow, and hurriedly said: "Hui lord and two ladies, Yixing is a small county, the county Dingkou is only more than 20,000 households at the most prosperous time, in recent years, as the court service tax has become more and more stringent, some people have sold land to the local scholars as slaves, some people have fled to the depths of the mountains with their families, and they simply went back to Shanyue, and some people went to Jiankang, Shanyin and other places to do odd jobs for the rich, and the rest were like me, and simply fell into the grass as bandits!" As he spoke, he frowned again, and asked in a hesitant manner, "May I ask the lord who wants to subdue the nearby bandits?" ”
Wei Feng nodded and said: "If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, I look at your manpower, there are no rules for marching and arranging, obviously a rabble, from tomorrow onwards, let's talk about it for a while, and then I will accept it for the time being, by the way, I have another matter to inquire, why didn't the court send troops to recruit and suppress?" Could it be that he sat back and watched Yixing's banditry intensify? ”
Xiang Mi arched his hand: "I have also conscripted a few times earlier, but Yixing is mostly mountainous, the court is not familiar with the terrain, the soldiers and horses are coming, we abandon the village and flee, so it is not effective, plus we have no ability to attack the Shizu manor, it is not a big disaster in the locality, and over time, the court will no longer pay attention to it, as for the elite forbidden army and the Beifu army, they don't look down on us at all, and they don't bother to come, and Yixing County is weak, the county soldiers are only more than 2,000 people, and they need to be stationed in six county seats, as long as they don't take the initiative to provoke, He was also happy to turn a blind eye, and at the same time he was able to push the blame for the poor collection of taxes. ”
"Oh~~" With the conversation, Wei Feng has a general understanding of the situation in Yixing, and he can't help but secretly start to calculate, originally Jihua went to Shanyin, it was just a bit of luck, since there is a chance in Yixing, simply stay for a while, those few mountain cold and scholar manors, in the eyes of Wei Feng are valuable assets, since ancient times, including Taizu, the first pot of gold in the incident all rely on eating big households, Wei Feng is no exception to hit the abacus to the local scholars, they have all the money, food, and armor, once successfully broken, Then there will be capital immediately, and the rest will be whitewashed and turned into a court soldier!
Unconsciously, the group had returned to the cottage, and Wei Feng was stunned for a moment, this is too simple, right? The cottage stands on a small hill, and is hastily enclosed by a wooden fence as a wall, and some thatched houses are built in it according to the mountain, and faintly, women and children can be seen.
Xiang Mi smiled awkwardly: "I called the lord and the two ladies to laugh, but please dislike it in a hurry, and my subordinates immediately recruited people to come and defeat the lord!" ”
Wei Feng smiled dumbly and said: "You and I are already grasshoppers on the same line, why dislike it?" What's more, it's only a temporary difficulty now, next year, I'll take you to move into the city to live, okay, it's useless to talk more, come, ask my brother! ”
Xiang Mi hurriedly humbly said: "Don't dare, don't dare, please call your subordinates by their names and surnames!" ”
"Good!" Wei Feng didn't shirk either, and replied: "Xiang Mi, you lead the way!" ”
Xiang Mi couldn't help but smile bitterly, and the modest two sentences were taken seriously, but, with Wei Feng's serious look, he strangely found that he didn't feel insulted, as if he should have been born like this, you know, ancient adults had table words, dedicated to calling each other, and calling them by their names was extremely impolite, and he was quite puzzled for a while.
With this question, Xiang Mi welcomed Wei Feng and the three of them into the village, and Wang Man also showed a strange look in her beautiful eyes, she was also taken the table word, it stands to reason that Wei Feng should call her Zijing, or affectionately called Qingqing, but this person is good, he has always been a Wang Man, what a guy who doesn't know how to be polite!
After a while, Xiang Mi summoned all the people, and the whole village together with the old and weak women and children, a total of less than 300 people, Xiang Mi reintroduced Wei Feng, and led everyone to worship again, Wei Feng made a lot of beautiful promises.
Next, Xiang Mi slaughtered the only two pigs in the village to entertain the new master, and in the evening there was moonlight, everyone was eating and drinking, just like a festival, the only fly in the ointment was that there was less wine, no way, the wine was made of grain, and the days of the thieves were also tight, and it was impossible to take out the surplus grain to make wine.
After eating and drinking, Xiang Mi gave his house to Wei Feng, this is the most magnificent room in the cottage, Wei Feng does not shirk, he knows that the way of the emperor lies in both grace and power, and the necessary care should be, but he can't not distinguish between the lord and the slave, otherwise, he doesn't treat himself as the master, how can others take it seriously?
Xiang Mi didn't stay long, and quickly said goodbye and retreated, Xiaolan followed and greeted: "Lang Jun, you and your sister should rest first, Xiaolan go and boil some hot water." ”
"Not busy!" Wei Feng had an idea, so he shook his head and said: "Now that there is a shortage of manpower in the village, everyone should make full use of it, tomorrow you two will organize the women in the village, and I will teach some marching medical skills, you can pass it on." ”
"This" Wang Man hesitated: "Wei Lang, as the saying goes: women are in the army, and their morale is not high, and it is probably not appropriate to march and fight with women?" ”
"Pedantic opinion!" Wei Feng said disapprerovingly: "It's not about going into battle to kill, it's just about caring for the wounded, where is it so exquisite?" In fact, when the two armies fought, the majority of the dead on the spot did not account for the majority, and many of them were injured and could not be treated in time, so that the blood was exhausted or the injuries worsened and died. ”
"Oh!" Wang Man sneered: "What is fierce? Say no? Tomorrow, the concubine and Xiaolan will follow your arrangement. ”
Wei Feng smiled with satisfaction: "Okay, you and Xiaolan sit down first, and I'll go and boil some hot water for you, this kind of rough work should be done by men." As he spoke, he didn't wait for the second daughter to object, turned around and walked out.
