Just looking at Xiangxi, it is indeed no wonder that the county master is too nested, because the county lord who is not nested is either dead or forced to be transferred, because of this, Xiangxi is actually already a county official with flowing water, a bandit village beaten by iron.

Under such circumstances, the only thing that really played a role in suppressing bandits was the training of troops in the prefectures and prefectures under the direct control of the governor of Hunan Province.

For the people of Xiangxi, when the regiment trains and when the bandits are in front of them, they must be bandits!

In this era, when bandits have many advantages than being a regiment to train soldiers, every time they rob rich merchants and merchants, they have to put on a feast in the bandit village, eat meat and drink wine, and then under the distribution of the bandit leader, they will be rewarded according to their merits, when there are more bandits than in the army, there is already a problem in Xiangxi, and the governor of Hunan Province decided to use a big killing move to solve the problem of bandits as soon as possible: Zhao'an!

This move has been effective since ancient times, but it also has advantages and disadvantages.

Once the bandits in Xiangxi accept Zhao'an, they will be turned into regimental training on the spot, and the bandit leader will often be sent by a regimental training deputy soldier, and then good wine and meat will be provided by the imperial court, and there is no need to rob the house.

But if you don't accept Zhao'an, then there will be good fruit to eat, and the imperial court will send Zhao'an's bandit village to attack the bandit cottage that stubbornly resists.

In the face of the conditions proposed by Huayuan County, Hei Blind Village also wanted to accept Zhao'an, Ren Wude, as the second master, had a keener sense of smell than ordinary people, he briefly sniffed out the conspiracy of large-scale Zhao'an in Hunan Province, and immediately knew what was powerful.

The imperial court needs money to raise soldiers, if there is no need for soldiers, where is the need to recruit bandits on a large scale?

Sure enough, after that, the Gengzi fist rebellion broke out, the imperial court first severely suppressed the boxers, and then because of their "exterminate the foreign" slogan to use, requiring the boxers to enter Beijing to kill foreigners, and at the same time the former government declared war on the eleven countries, the farce here is not mentioned for the time being, and so on the eight-nation coalition army to attack Gyeonggi, in fact, the previous dynasty has failed, and even, even the capital can not be saved, the old queen mother had to take the puppet emperor to flee westward, and ordered the Qing army to clear the Boxers.

As early as before the boxers entered Beijing, the southeast had different considerations, and did not respond to the call of the Beijing division, the feudal officials in the southeast and the southeast not only did not help the Boxers, but reached a local tacit agreement with foreign countries, claiming to be mutual protection in the southeast, they announced that the old queen mother and the emperor had been coerced by the Boxer rebellion, and this edict to kill foreigners was an overkill, and disobeyed the order to support the Boxers in the southeastern provinces.

This decision is undoubtedly correct, and the two places in the southeast have long seen through that the forces of the former dynasty in Beijing were paper tigers, and they could be broken as soon as they were struck, but in half a year, the former dynasty was really forced by the forces of foreigners to order all localities to clear the Boxer forces, and the bandit village in Hunan Province also took on the task of clearing and surrendering the Boxers.

At this time, these bandits realized that the purpose of entertaining them with good wine and meat was to make them cannon fodder, and the bandits disrupted the people, and the more people died, the better.

Time back to half a year ago, after Ren Wude smelled the smell of conspiracy, he had already told this consideration to the big boss, but the big boss was bent on taking refuge in the government and taking his words as a deaf ear, and even, the black blind man of the big boss was afraid that Ren Wude would sabotage and killed him.

Nominally, he was told to pull incense, but behind his back, he had prepared bows and arrows, knives and guns, and when he was allowed to go down the mountain, he would be hacked to death with a knife, so as not to reveal the situation on the mountain.

Fortunately, usually Ren Wude is still righteous, a few brothers revealed the plan to him in advance, Ren Wude in order to save his life, with hundreds of bandits who do not want to recruit an down the mountain, along the way, and the black blind man led the people in the mountain bay to fight, to this point, it is no longer a family but you live and die, no one wants to let it, riveting enough strength to put people to death.

In the end, the black blind man was blinded in the other eye, Ren Wude was also hit in the leg and stomach, and fell off the cliff with the black blind man, he thought that he would definitely die, but it was fate that made people, the black blind man was broken to pieces, but he was caught by the branch, and fell on the haystack under the unloading, saving a life.

It was also here that he met a corpse chaser You Tianchen, at this time there were mandrill groups surrounding him to release the miasma of turbidity, this Taoist priest became confused, and he didn't even know that he was licked off half of his face, he thought that it was a life and fired several shots at the mandrill group, not only shot away the mandrill, but also completely woke up the Taoist priest.

After regaining consciousness, the Taoist noticed a stinging pain in half of his face, and then realized that he had been licked by a mandrill, and when he went to the small stream of the mountain cliff, he saw that the face had been peeled off a layer of skin, and there were blood-red flesh buds that had been turned out, which looked terrifying.

Despite this, the corpse chaser still picked up his life and went back, he saw that Ren Wude was only a gunshot wound and was fine, and the hot dagger dug out the bullet for him and applied gold sore medicine, which could be regarded as saving his legs and feet.

Although the two didn't know each other, they were rescued because of each other, and after feeling fateful, they were both Jinlan under the cliff. m.

The old Taoist priest bluntly said that he came from Maoshan Mountain, is a Taoist who came and went to the southwest to drive the corpse, passing through here was blocked by a group of mandrills, if it was not for Ren Wude to be lucky, he would definitely be buried in the belly of the mandrill, in order to repay Ren Wude's kindness, the Taoist took him to the thatched house he built to recuperate, until half a year later the leg injury healed, the two then parted ways, their own way.

Before leaving, Ren Wude told the old Taoist priest that he owed the old Taoist a leg, and if there was anything in need of help in the future, he could come to him in the cave, and he planned to wash his hands in the golden basin of the cave.

When he returned to Tudong, he learned from the villagers that it was fake that these bandits were mobilized to deal with the boxers, and it was true that they went into an ambush.

In the dark, Ren Wude fell off the cliff to save his life, the bandits in the black blind village have experienced changes, and they have long been wiped out by the official army, if he hadn't stayed on the cliff, there must have been his head in the corpses of those bandits.

He originally thought that he would not see the corpse Taoist again, but unexpectedly, fate made people, there were too many dead people in the bandit village near the cave, and the people came to treat the epidemic and get rid of the disease, and the two met again in the cave.

At this time, Lao Dao was holding a baby in his arms, and this baby was Ren Peacock who was still in swaddling clothes.

At that time, although the old Taoist priest was very capable, it was really inconvenient to take a baby girl, and it happened that Ren Wude had just married and was in the medicinal materials business, so she entrusted the baby girl to Ren Wude and his wife, and they named the baby girl Ren Peacock, and lied to the outside world that it was their first daughter to support her.

After that, in order to repay the kindness of all its cause and effect, the old Taoist priest built a phoenix temple in Fengtou Mountain, prayed for the blessings and elimination of disasters for the nearby people, and at the same time drove the corpse home, so that the people who died unjustly outside the leaf fell back to their roots, and the baby girl also gradually grew up under the care of the Ren couple.

Some people died, but not completely......
