Chapter 1078: Digging a Trap
If you want to stop those people, it's not enough to just make a fence to fence off the village, after all, it's easy to get the fence open, since it's going to start, Tiankuo and Siqi discussed with the village chief, and they plan to dig a circle of traps around the village and put some wooden thorns inside.
With such a large area, the displaced people outside will definitely see it, and they will not send it to death, so they will not be able to enter the village easily.
As long as the villagers are alarmed, the gongs and drums will soon attract the rest of the village, so that those people can be completely stopped.
At present, only this method is the most suitable, but in this way, more manpower is needed, in winter, the weather is cold, the soil on the ground is frozen, at this time it is not easy to dig a trench out, it is estimated that men, women and children have to go into battle.
Speaking of this, Siqi suddenly had a good idea, and hurriedly said, "Village Chief, let me ask you, most people in this village are still very kind, right?" ”
The village chief didn't know what she was asking for, so he nodded, "Yes, people in this rural area are like this, when every family has a difficulty, if someone is in trouble, everyone is quite willing to help, because when their family is in trouble, people will also help, it's all mutual, Mrs. asked what is this for?" ”
Siqi said, "If that's the case, in fact, many people are willing to help those displaced people outside, but they are afraid of attracting more people, so they must be cautious, since you have to dig trenches by hand, you can take out some food to hire those displaced people outside, let them help, so that there is a reason to give them food to eat, and let them know that these foods are not for free, and they must pay their own labor." ”
The village chief's eyes lit up, "This is a good way, Madame is really smart, but they will know who we are digging the trap to prevent from us, so will they dig it well?" ”
Siqi and Tiankuo sighed at the same time, Tiankuo said, "Now that the border defense forces are insufficient, and there is a great drought in Mongolia this year, the Mongolian people are very likely to enter Lu County to grab things, and these traps dug at this time are not only to prevent those displaced people, but also to prevent Mongolian people from grabbing things. ”
The village chief was shocked, and then sighed, "Alas, this is also a helpless thing, then it seems that it is necessary to dig a trap, tomorrow I will gather all the people in the village, the sooner this matter starts, the better, according to what Mrs. said, I will first distribute the places to be dug by each family, and then you can take out the food if you have enough food at home, and let those people outside help dig traps, if you have enough labor at home, and the food is not enough to eat, you don't need to do this, adults and Mrs. see, how about doing this?" ”
Tiankuo nodded, "It's good, the village chief will do it according to this." ”
It was already late at this time, and after dinner, Siqi and Tiankuo went back to the house to rest and called Da Hei into the house.
It's not good to give it too good things to eat at home, after all, it's the countryside people here, and it's very reluctant to eat meat by yourself.
Siqi took two steamed buns for it, which was already a very good thing, "Da Hei, you will be here today, and tomorrow I will go home and give you meat." ”
Usually a few dogs in the family are all meat-eating, Da Hei is very well-behaved, think about what he gives it and eat it, it is estimated that even if he knows that there is a mouse medicine in it, it will eat, it is so well-behaved, so well-behaved that it makes people feel distressed.
The situation is becoming more and more urgent, the number of displaced people is increasing, and several villages on the border have already been attacked by the Mongols, and this should happen again.
Siqi and Tian Kuo couldn't sleep at night, sat on the edge of the bed and talked for a long time, Si Qi said, "Brother Tian Kuo, this method can actually be used well, all villages can do so, in this way, it also solves the problem of displaced people, and can also prevent the Mongolian people, the same is true for those displaced people in the county, the yamen can take out food, hire them to work, go to the border to repair traps, and set up organs." ”
"Now that the border precautions are loose, you have repeatedly written to the imperial court and there is no news, it seems that we can only rely on ourselves, if only some Mongolians come to grab things, the local villagers can still fight, but if the Mongolian country leads troops to come at this time, then what? Now that's the only way to go, you say? ”
Tiankuo thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, just do as you say, my sister, you are really my virtuous helper, when you encounter something, you are much calmer than me, and you can always come up with a good way, on the other hand, I am easy to be anxious and impulsive when I encounter something, I am really not as good as you." ”
Siqi smiled and said, "It's good to come up with a way, we are husband and wife, we are one, isn't the way I want to be what you think?" As long as the current crisis can be solved, nothing else is needed. ”
The next day, the village chief summoned all the villagers according to what they had discussed, and when they told them about their idea, everyone hesitated and raised objections on the spot.
"Village chief, our village is so big, if we really build fences and dig trenches, then we will have to be busy for many days, even if we are willing to take out food to hire people from outside to help, we don't dare to trust them casually, when the food is gone, those people will seize the opportunity to come in and grab things, so what?"
The village chief said, "There are so many people in our village, and I am afraid that those people will not succeed, they are now running to the village, just to stutter, these people are not heinous people, they are all hard-working people facing the loess with their backs to the sky, who doesn't eat with their own hands?" But this year's year is not good, God doesn't rain, everyone is hungry. ”
"As long as we give them the opportunity to exchange their labor for food, who wouldn't want to? As long as it's good, let's help, if it's really that kind of hooligan ruffian, unreasonable, don't let them in easily, let's talk about it, is this method good? ”
Everyone was still silent, and the village chief said, "I think everyone has also heard that the imperial court has reduced the border defense forces, and the Mongolian people are also in a great drought this year, and if it goes on like this, the people of Mongolia will definitely come in and rob things, at this time, we can also help by repairing some traps, it is better than the aliens coming in, burning, killing and looting, and killing their relatives, right?" ”
As soon as they heard this, everyone had no hesitation, the border was unstable a few years ago, and many people had suffered hardships, and no matter what, they could not let Mongolian people in.
Everyone immediately said, "Okay, just listen to the village chief, let's dig traps!" ”
