Chapter 385: Bandits are rampant

At first glance, this idea of unity doesn't really feel like much. But the villagers, including the people of the You faction, will feel that the more they think about it, the more reasonable it becomes.

The chaos in the world is fundamentally because after the feudal princes, the royal family declined, and the princes rose together.

No one is convinced by anyone, that's why they call back and forth. If there is a master who can rule the world, then the world is one family, so naturally there is no need to fight.

As for that, does anyone want the Zeng Zhou royal family to continue to dominate the world? Not really! The Zhou royal family has long been finished, everyone in the world knows that the Zhou royal family has declined, who will want them to come out again to harm the people of the world!

Sometimes, it's not that people don't know how to think, but after the oppression of life, they don't have the leisure to think, just like there is a fog, and if no one clears it, it will always be chaos. Everything that Jiang Anrao and Xinmo brought was like the wind that saw the sun, slowly blowing away the fog that stood in front of people's eyes.

Slowly, everyone began to yearn for the great unified country that still didn't know where!

The Mo family's morning class is not long, that is, it takes about half an hour, and no matter how busy the villagers are with their livelihoods, they finally squeeze time to come out, so they want to listen to it.

At the beginning, they secretly pretended to pass by, and after the Mo family said that they could listen to it and listen casually, the villagers finally didn't have to hide it, and when the time came, they all came out and walked nearby, waiting to listen to the Mo family's morning and evening classes.

When the Mo family is doing things during the day, some children in the village will also come over curiously, under the premise that there is no danger, the Mo family does not care, if the children want to learn, they will teach patiently, and even use branches to scratch on the ground to teach the children to read!

This made the villagers very excited!

Literacy and hyphenation, that is the privilege of the nobility! Ordinary people, counting up for three lifetimes, there are people who don't know a single big word! What a chance does a child have now to learn to read and learn arithmetic!

Soon, the ink merchant brought by Jiang Anrao became the most popular person in several nearby villages!

They make their own things, and they will teach the villagers to make them together, and then sell them together, and the ink artists will naturally blend into the ordinary people and mingle. After washing his mind with his thoughts, it only took a long time for the people of Youjia Village and the original Youpai to be reborn, and there was a earth-shaking change from life to mental state.

In the words of ordinary people, the spirit is completely different!

At this time, this area has also become unpeaceful.

After Sima Cuo captured Fuling, he did not go down the river as people thought, but unexpectedly traced the Wujiang River, and then turned to the upper reaches of Yuanshui and captured Qianzhong County.

Zhijiang is quite close to Qianzhong County, and the people of Chu are a little worried at this time, for fear that after the Qin army occupies Qianzhong County, they will continue to attack the city and conquer the land, and even go to the people of Chu to loot and massacre and so on.

But the Qin army did not. After occupying Qianzhong County, Qin and Chu began negotiations.

Qianzhong belongs to the hinterland of the Chu State, and the Chu State naturally wants to take it back, but the Qin State does not intend to take it and hold on here.

What King Qin Zhao wanted more was actually Shangyong and the northern Han region. Those two places are closer to the mainland of Qin, and there is also waterway transportation through Bashu and Qindi. What the Qin State wanted most was the control of this waterway.

As long as those two places are returned to the Qin State, whether it is in terms of being easy to defend or in terms of future marches, it will actually be greatly beneficial to Great Qin. With the waterway of the Han River, it will be more convenient for the Qin army to attack Chu in the future, so it will really be fought whenever it wants!

Of course, the state of Chu didn't want to give it anywhere, so while talking, the Chu army was trying to take back Qianzhong County, and Sima Cuo no longer used troops, so he guarded Qianzhong County. When the Chu army came, they repulsed, and then waited for the results of the negotiations between the two countries.

As a result, this has made the surrounding Chu people miserable.

The Qin army really didn't commit any offense against the residents of Chu, but there were constantly reinforcements from the Chu army.

The original Chu army in Qianzhong County was beaten and scattered, and some of the deserters were newly added to the Chu army who wanted to recapture Qianzhong, but there were also some Chu army deserters, who were afraid when they heard that it was the Qin army, and they didn't want to fight with the Qin army, so they sneaked away completely.

Many of these Chu troops were already short of training time and were not well equipped, and when they turned around and ran, they were no different from ordinary homeless people!

Then these people went to the battlefield, saw blood, became deserters, did not dare to return home, there was no way out, and in order to survive, they all became outlaws. These people simply gathered together and looted others.

Of course, they did not dare to go to a city that was defended by walls or even garrisoned by troops, and their targets were the walking merchants and the villagers of the various villages.

Originally, Youjia Village was only twenty or thirty miles away from Zhijiang, and it was very convenient for the ink merchants to follow the villagers to buy and sell things, but after encountering the robbery halfway twice in a row, Jiang Anrao knew that it was not safe here now.

The villagers are panicked, but the crops planted are not successful, and they have saved a few dollars in their hands these days.

They can't go! Then we can only pray that the deserters will not come to attack their village.

Will the rogues come? This is a matter of concern to everyone, but in Jiang Anrao's opinion, whether they will come or not, they must prepare in advance.

Jiang Anrao called Zhang Quan and asked him to convene a meeting of all the principals of Youjia Village to discuss the issue of the village's defense.

"As you all know, those rogues were all soldiers of the Chu State before, they were more or less trained, they had also been on the battlefield, they had seen life and death, and ordinary villagers would inevitably suffer if they faced them.

Now they have ransacked the neighboring villages, and when they have squandered what they have looted, they will soon loot the next village, like locusts.

At this time, there will be no army to help exterminate these rogues, so everything will depend on us.

All of you present here are from Youjia Village, and the reason for calling you here is to discuss how to defend against these rogues next.

But before I say what to do, I would like to hear if there is anyone who is familiar with the poisoned villages. Is it possible to know from the people of those villages the number of these bandits, their hiding places, etc.? ”

These people burn and loot, and they are not good people, and they will not feel guilty when they are killed! Knowing how many of these rogues there are, knowing where they are hiding, you can better formulate coping strategies, and think of ways to deal with them!

In fact, there are nearly 1,000 people in Chu Mo in this area! If this had been as united as Xinmo, these rogues would have been exterminated long ago! It's just that Chu Mo is not united, not to mention the snow in front of the door, and it is easy to fall into the well at a critical time!
