81. Build a high wall
"I know that everyone is very tired now, I haven't slept all night, I am very sleepy, the reason why I gathered everyone here at noon is because I have a few things to arrange, these few things, related to everyone's net worth and life." Chen Mo's eyes swept over everyone, his expression serious.
Hearing this, the villagers, who were originally shrouded in sleepiness, suddenly became energetic and pricked up their ears, their lives were at stake, how could they not care.
"First of all, although the officers and soldiers who went out of the city this time were killed by us and achieved a preliminary victory, everyone should not think that just this time, the government will not dare to come, it is a big mistake."
Chen Mo said loudly: "There are thousands of garrisons in the city, well-equipped, once we go out of the city to encircle and suppress us, it will be difficult for us to deal with it." ”
Although it is better to report good news and not bad news in the current situation, Chen Mo does not have enough money and food in his hands at present, in order not to let them relax, the rope that was finally twisted is scattered into a thread, Chen Mo must always let them tighten the strings, so that they understand that they are not out of danger.
Only in this way can Chen Mo better lead them.
After all, if you want to live, you have to listen to me, and you can't disobey me.
"In order to let everyone have no worries, I plan to set up a patrol team, and the candidates for the patrol will be the young men of Fuze Village and Wangjiazhuang for the time being, and the captain of the patrol team will be in charge of Zhang He." Chen Mo pointed at Zhang He.
Zhang He suddenly stepped forward and showed his face in front of everyone, his neck stretched a little, and he secretly rejoiced that he was also an official, but his expression pretended to be serious, and his eyes couldn't help but look at Han Wu.
"Immortal Master Chen, what is the use of this patrol?" A person from Wangjiazhuang said.
"Naturally, it is related to our safety, and I plan to build a sentry post on a small high mountain ten miles away from the county seat, and the patrol personnel will stand guard day and night, and once they see the officers and soldiers leaving the city, they will return to the village as soon as possible to report to them. In addition, it is also the duty of the patrol team to patrol the village, maintain law and order, and protect the village. Chen Mo said.
Hearing this, the young people of Fuze Village and Wangjiazhuang inexplicably felt a little excited, and they had been busy in the fields for half their lives, and they were accompanied by loess every day, and they could actually do work similar to that of government officials.
For a while, they only felt a sense of mission in their hearts.
In the absence of money and food, in order to mobilize their enthusiasm, Chen Mo also said: "Among them, those who perform well, after Zhang He confirms and gives my permission, Zhang He can teach you sword techniques, and this knife technique was taught to Zhang He by myself, and it is something that only a martial artist can do." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was extremely excited.
They are all farmers who are picking up in the field, they have not seen any big scenes, and when they hear what Chen Mo said, they think it is a very powerful thing, and some people even regard this knife method as a fairy method, and they think that after learning it, they can be like Chen Mo, and they can kill people in the air with a knife.
Even Han Wu was moved and eager to try.
Chen Mo naturally noticed Han Wu and said: "You are the same, from tomorrow, Ling and the group of people under you will be called the fishing team, Han Wu is the captain, tomorrow I will personally teach you the sword technique, and after you learn it, I can teach it to the people in your team who perform well." ”
"Xie Chen Immortal Master." Han Wu immediately thanked him.
"Immortal Master Chen, what about us?" The remaining villagers, who hadn't clicked, couldn't help but ask.
"The rest of the people, directly obey my orders, and from tomorrow they will explore the mountains and forests and start building a fortress and build a defense system at the pass. In this way, if there are too many officers and soldiers out of the city, we can flee into the mountains with our families after the sentry in front of us has been announced. Chen Mo said.
When the words fell, the people from the patrol team and the fishing team suddenly felt that they were a little unpleasant, after all, Han Wu and Zhang He couldn't compare with Chen Mo.
"Wang Ping." Chen Mo said.
"I'm here."
"You have someone to register the patrols, the fishing team, and the people who directly obey me into a register for everyone to consult." Chen Mo said.
"No."
After explaining everything, Chen Mo's mouth was a little dry, he pursed his lips, he looked around at everyone, and finally said:
"I hope you will work harder and don't be lazy, because this hurts you, if the officers and soldiers are killed, I will go up the mountain, and I can completely ignore you, but what about you? Even if the government spares your life with kindness, when the time comes, you will return to the way you used to be, with insufficient food, unpaid taxes, and endless suffering. ”
Everyone nodded.
"Okay, Zhang He, Han Wu stays."
Chen Mo waved his hand: "Everyone else is gone, and they are resting, what should they do." ”
The villagers dispersed in twos and threes, but there were still dozens of people standing there motionless, all of whom were from Qingting County.
Chen Mo raised his eyebrows and said, "What's the matter with you?" ”
The villagers glanced at each other and stumbled, "Immortal Master Chen, when are you going to bring our family over?" ”
When the words fell, Han Wu also looked at Chen Mo.
Among the eight hundred and twelve people, although most of them are from Pingting County, some are from Qingting County, and they are also worried about their relatives at home.
In this regard, Chen Mo was silent.
rushed from Fuze Village to Qingting County, but there was some distance, and it was getting dark at this time.
The yamen of Pingting County went out of the city early this morning to arrest people, and Qingting County would not be slow down, and when he brought people over, maybe their families would have been arrested by the Qingting County government.
The worst possibility is that if you don't get there well, you will fall into the net.
Chen Mo actually planned to give up in his heart, but now that he has been initially united, if he says it directly, it may disturb people's hearts.
He looked at them, and after a deep sigh, he said: "In the evening, I will let Han Wu take you home to investigate, if your family is arrested by the government and entered the city, then there is nothing I can do, if there is no one, bring them over directly, I will shelter you." ”
They were actually prepared, but when they heard Chen Mo's heart-wrenching words, they still felt a little relieved in their hearts.
Not to mention Han Wu, on the way to Fengxian, when he killed the official with Han San, he was ready to lose his family.
Chen Mo left Han Wu behind, mainly to tell him to do a good job in Dadong Lake, and even gave him an indicator of how many fish he catches every day, even if he can't reach it, he must get as close to this indicator as possible.
After all, Dadong Lake is an important source of food for them at present.
After that, Chen Mo also pulled Han Wu aside alone and said, "When you go back to Qingting County tonight, if you find the strong men who escaped from Fengxian Road like you, you can find a way to draw them to our side." ”
If Chen Mo wants to strengthen his power, he must have a sufficient population base to support him.
Qingting County has arrested a thousand arresters, and now under him, plus Han Wu and others, there are only about a hundred people.
If the remaining strong men and their families are also brought over, then everything will be very promising.
