Chapter 150
For Zhu Lingjing, she also feels a little tricky now.

At the beginning, Zhou Changfeng had impressed her so deeply that she really didn't want to miss it.So I used disgraceful means to cook the raw rice into cooked rice, which now seems to be a bit sloppy.

Although it can be regarded as taking the person into the bag, but his heart is not convinced, this is a side effect, it can be said to greatly reduce the person's trust in himself.

Courageous and quick-witted, she knows that such a person is difficult to control, but once successful, it can play a huge role far beyond ordinary mediocrity.

A capable general is naturally more valuable than the elite, and it is better to have a few geniuses than to raise a bunch of mediocre people. Zhu Lingjing has always believed in this.

Therefore, during this period of time, when she was doing business, she was also thinking about how to make up for her previous mistakes, so as to repair the relationship between the two parties, and thus end Zhou Changfeng's current state of "being in Cao Ying and heart in Han".

Sending money is just a simple test, because according to common sense, this kind of person is unlikely to be a money fan, and it is not easy to be bought by money. The best way is to give an ideal goal, but Zhu Lingjing has not yet tested Zhou Changfeng. Ambitious pursuit.

Thorough constitutional monarchy?To restore the power of the heavenly kingdom?Make people's lives more prosperous?
Which one is it?

It's the New Year's Eve, and all of Kyushu is celebrating. It can be called a scene of singing and dancing.

No wars, no natural disasters, no disasters, ordinary people really don't have many pursuits, they can live in peace and stability, and have a bright future.

But is there ever a time when the world is completely peaceful?After all, some people are depressed and distressed, and even suffer disasters.

Inside and outside the city of Yiling Prefecture, there is a festive New Year scene, and a row of red lanterns are hung above the city gate.This day is the eighth day of the Lunar New Year. Although the atmosphere of the New Year's Eve has gradually faded and most people's work and life have returned to normal, there are still some people who still have relatives.

There are many hitchhikers sitting on the trucks coming and going, and the same is true behind the black-smoky tractors.

But in this seemingly peaceful environment, a disaster struck suddenly.

"There are thieves!"

"Bandits are coming to the north!"

The people on the dirt road in the country fled in panic after a brief shock, but soon, most of them chose to run to the city.

A group of bandits dressed in messy clothes and looking menacing in appearance came from the dirt road in the north.

The dozen or so people headed by them rode horses, while the rest of the more than 200 people walked. They carried guns of different models and kept yelling words such as "grab it quickly" and "run away after grabbing it".

Although they looked like a mob in terms of their clothes, but looking closely at their movements and actions, they looked decent.

Several townships outside the city were swept by them. They often fired a few shots to disperse the people, and then swept away all valuables.

The action was quite fast, very decisive, and without delay, how could the few local policemen resist it?
As a result, the more than two hundred thieves rushed to the market and residential areas around the state city as if they were in no one's land.

"Run! What are you doing? Don't die?!"

Some small business vendors were reluctant to part with their stalls and wanted to clean up a few more times, but they were dragged away by others.

"Bang! Bang!"

A dozen bandits trying to rob a jewelry store exchanged fire with security guards inside, and the gunfire from both sides continued.

However, there are only four security guards outnumbered, and their pistols are too weak against rifles and light machine guns at present.

"Damn, you are very courageous, dare to hurt Lao Tzu's people?"

"Come and disembowel these things, and let me see if they have eaten the heart of a bear and the guts of a leopard!"

A ferocious-looking bandit kicked the dying security guard who was lying in a pool of blood, and then extended his hand to greet him.

The bandits next to them who were smashing the counter and rummaging through boxes and boxes to put gold, silver and jewelry into bags stopped what they were doing, drew their knives and came over...

Such scenes also happened in other markets and residential areas on the west side of the state city at the same time, with gunshots, screams, and screams one after another.

The ignited house ignited a raging fire, billowing black smoke straight into the sky.

The Yi'an Army of Yiling Prefecture was stationed in the eastern suburbs of the city, more than ten miles away. After a lengthy assembly, receiving ammunition, assigning tasks, and setting off, when a team of Yi'an Army arrived, the group of bandits had just joined , is about to walk away.

The two sides immediately launched a fierce exchange of fire, and the dense gunfire was heard endlessly, making the people in the city tremble.

The Yi'an army equipped with only light weapons could not be compared with regular field units in terms of firepower, let alone they came in a hurry without heavy machine guns and mortars at all.

Even because the vast majority of Yi'an's army are recruits, they are completely unable to compare with these "experienced" stubborn bandits in terms of sophistication and trickery.

So in the short shot, these more than a hundred people couldn't overwhelm the bandits on the opposite side?
In this way, after a stalemate for a quarter of an hour, the more than 200 bandits quickly retreated to the boundless mountains and mountains to the north.

Fearing that the bandits knew the terrain like the back of their hands, Yi'an's army gave up their pursuit - if they were ambushed deep into the mountains, it would be embarrassing.

The sudden attack by bandits in Yiling Prefecture was reported truthfully very quickly. The magistrate, who had only been in office for a few months, was very unlucky.

"Extremely funny! Didn't you say that the Edi bandits have already been wiped out? Keep an eye on it, and submit the details as soon as you have any details."

Not only the emperor was furious, but also the high officials in the court were extremely helpless. This incident can be said to have caused an uproar.

Why can't this bandit be wiped clean?Every time after being attacked, it is reported that it has been completely wiped out, but after a year or two, new bandits will appear again. Is it really "the wild fire burns endlessly, and the spring breeze blows and regenerates"?

The history of banditry is really long and long. In Daming, this ancient profession that existed for thousands of years is still practiced by some people today.

Without it, only happy ears!
And there is no chance to wash your hands in the golden basin.

In fact, many bandits in the past dynasties are a hodgepodge, and most of them are farmers who are not doing well and have a poor livelihood.

Those who are really determined to regard it as a lifelong career are actually only a small number of people, but they are also the most difficult to deal with. Because of the limited control of local governments in ancient times, they were often unable to wipe them out. Some local magistrates and prefectures even formed "" If you don’t plunder with great fanfare, I won’t call in troops to suppress.” The tacit understanding.

In the later Ming Dynasty, the chaos of the decades before and after the turn of the century increased the number of people engaged in this profession, but as everything stabilized, the once popular profession became unpopular again.

Since ancient times, western Hubei and western Hunan have been places where banditry has been rampant. Due to the high mountains, dense forests and complex terrain, it is difficult for the army to wipe out the bandits, and the local people are often threatened not to reveal the bandits. Therefore, it is even more difficult to suppress bandits.

From the beginning of the eighth year of Zhichang, the imperial court was determined to eliminate the banditry in the north and south of the Yangtze River. Hundreds of thousands of Ming troops were successively put into the task of suppressing bandits, and the results were quite remarkable. In just a few years, the banditry in most areas was solved. .

However, western Hubei and western Hunan have been repeated repeatedly, and no matter how they are suppressed, they cannot be completely suppressed.

Over the past [-] years, the bandits have fought wits and courage with the Ming army, you advance and you retreat, seesaw repeatedly, and the banditry has not been completely eradicated for a long time.

But because the construction of grassroots organizations in the Ming Dynasty tends to be complete and modernized, the scope of activities of the bandits has been greatly reduced. They only dare to live in the deep mountains and old forests, because it is easy to be encircled and suppressed when they go out of the mountains.

In this way, the tenacity, ferocity, and tenacity of the bandits who have been able to persevere until now can be imagined. The ones who attacked Yiling Prefecture this time were the remaining stubborn bandits, which can be described as extremely rich in experience.
