Guide to Traveling through the Northern Song Dynasty.

Chapter 56 0053【Big coin】

Hearing the sudden burst of shouts outside the north wall, Li Hanzhang knew something was wrong, and the main force of the bandits really came here.

"Withdraw, withdraw!"

Li Hanzhang didn't have the slightest intention to stick to it, so he fled with a group of mobs.

Running back to see the old white member, Li Hanzhang said: "Hurry up and take out the goods, the more valuable the better!"

The old white member woke up immediately and shouted: "All listen to Li Erlang's command!"

Li Hanzhang told Bai Chongyan: "Everyone, go move your belongings and sprinkle them on the ground along the way."

"Okay!" Bai Chongyan acted immediately.

Li Hanzhang went to look for Bai Chongwen again, and said: "Bai Dalang, the inner courtyard can no longer be guarded, and the bandits have gone around to the north. You lead those who dare to fight to the side gate to the east, and when you hear my order, open the door and go out immediately." Chong. The thieves there are just feigning attacks, I am afraid there are not many, kill them and disperse them, and then we can lead everyone to escape to the mountain."

But more than a dozen bandits climbed up the ladder, sat on the wall to observe the courtyard, and soon cheered: "There is no guard here, come in quickly!"

Bai Fude was overjoyed when he heard the words, he had always envied the old Bai family members, and even coveted the property of the Bai family.Now I can finally swagger into the house, although I don't get much, but I have already given birth to an infinite sense of satisfaction.

It's a pity that the leaders have to go up first, and Byford can only help with the ladder for the time being.

This seemed to be a garden, a few bandit leaders jumped off the wall, and rushed out with weapons without waiting for more accomplices to gather.

Yang Jun also entered the courtyard, turned around and saw that the guide was not there, he shouted: "Bai Fude, come in and lead the way!"

Byford immediately climbed the ladder, leaned against the wall and said, "I've never been in the inner courtyard, so I don't know how to get there."

"waste!"

Yang Jun no longer cared about Bai Fude, and rushed out with his men.

Out of the round arch of the garden, you can go left, right, or forward.Although the Bai family mansion was built in an ordinary way, the area is really big, and Yang Jun didn't know where to go.

He pricked up his ears and listened carefully, only to feel shouts everywhere, and immediately divided the team into three, and gave the order: "First, we must capture the old white members, or kill them. Second, we must find the property of the Bai family and arrest a few." If you press him alive, he might be buried in the cellar!"

A group of bandits rushing to the right ran across the courtyard in a daze, and saw a few servants carrying baskets and throwing money everywhere on the ground.

"The thief is coming, run away!"

The servants were so frightened that they dropped the baskets and fled, dumping the iron coins on the ground.

"money!"

The minions raised their torches and exclaimed, and stopped chasing people, and all lay on the ground to pick up money.

The bandit leader roared angrily: "Stand up, don't pick up any more money, there must be more money out there!"

But the minions pretended not to hear it, and when they encountered a large amount of money, they had to hand it in all, and then rewarded according to their merits.How many bounties can the little guy get?It's better to pick up some more bits and pieces now, and hide them on your body and say that you brought them.

After the bandit leader beat and scolded, the minions finally obeyed and continued to rush out after him.

It was another courtyard, all the servants had fled, several baskets were placed on the ground, and the boxes were densely packed with iron money.

This time, even the bandit leader was jealous, and he said to his confidants: "You take two people to stay here and guard, and the rest will follow me, there must be a lot of money!"

They ran fast, but they scattered more and more.

Because the ground is full of money!
The servants of the Bai family also had selfish intentions, and ran away with the money. If they survived, they might be able to embezzle the money.But it was too heavy and he couldn't run fast, so he simply threw it along the way, leaving only one or two slings of money to hide on his body.

Many thieves deliberately slowed down, then bent over to pick up money, and did not speed up until the leader urged them.

The bandits who attacked the house all encountered this situation and dispersed in a chaotic manner.

The owner of the village, Yang Jun, was so angry that he drew a knife and hacked a minion to death. Only then did he overwhelm the scene, and gathered the bandits to continue the charge.

"Open the door!"

On the other side of the side door, as Li Hanzhang gave orders, the door of the house opened suddenly.

The bandits outside the wall are still feinting, they don't even have a ladder, just a group of minions shouting.Suddenly seeing someone rushing out, the minions were a little confused, and then threw away the torches, and took up weapons such as simple knives and spears to fight.

Gu San led the young man from the tea house to the front. Although this young man was only 17 years old, he was very skilled.

He swung his whistle stick and knocked the bandit's spear to one side, and then the tip of the stick hit the bandit's forehead.Before the bandit fell down, Gu San continued to charge forward, and the whistle stick smashed another bandit's simple sword into the air.

The nineteen strong men from the tea garden behind him, seeing how brave the leader was, rushed forward with roars.

This group of bandits, only a dozen or so, turned around and ran away in fright.

"Don't chase, run to the mountains!" Li Hanzhang shouted.

Bai Chongwen carried the old white member on his back, Bai Chongyan carried the old lady Bai on his back, followed by a bunch of family members and servants, rushed out of the house and fled in the direction of Chashan.

The rest of the bandits from all over the place came to join one after another after learning about the situation here.

The main force led by Yang Jun himself was delayed by money, and when they chased them out, the Bai family had already escaped for a mile.

"Brother, it's important to move the goods, so don't chase after them anymore." Yang Ying said.

Yang Jun scolded angrily: "You know what a fart, you must kill the old white member! Leave the two leaders behind and lead the minions to carry the money and food, and the rest will follow me to hunt and kill!"

If the bandits retreat at this time, it can be said that they have won a complete victory, and they can evacuate calmly with their goods.

However, Yang Jun is afraid of the prestige of the old white members.

Once the old white member survives, he will inevitably put pressure on the county magistrate and recruit township soldiers to attack Heifengzhai with all his strength.At that time, Master Zhu can't stop it at all, and there will be no peace in Heifeng Village in the future.

"Chase!"

Yang Jun rushed to the front with his sword in hand, and the rest of the bandit leaders had to follow along with their minions.

But the thieves have lost their will to fight. They are all thinking about those treasures, hoping to go back and distribute the money soon. Who the hell is willing to continue to work hard?
……

As soon as the bandits came, they shouted in unison, and the Bai family mansion also rang the gong.

The mountain village is quiet at night, although the tea plantation is far away, you can vaguely hear the movement.

Lao Gu ran outside the house, listened carefully for a few breaths, and shouted suddenly: "There are thieves, get up quickly!"

Zhang Guangdao had already come out, still holding a simple knife in his hand.

Lao Gu went back to the house and took out an eyebrow sharp knife. This thing is a military standard weapon, and [-]% belongs to civilian control knives.

The weapons management in the Northern Song Dynasty showed two attitudes: loose and strict due to differences in time and region.

In general, the farther back in time, the stricter, and the closer to the frontier, the looser.

In places like Sichuan-Shaanxi and Guangnan, even the regular army is not allowed to hold weapons because of the infrequent fighting.In normal training, wooden spears and wooden knives are used instead, and weapons can only be applied for when encountering war.

However, Hebei and Northwest China are completely different. Soldiers can take their weapons home, because they must always guard against enemy soldiers going south.Even in autumn, when this kind of war season is high, the government will distribute weapons and armor to the Baojia strong men.

During the Huizong period of Song Dynasty, due to frequent uprisings, the management of weapons was the strictest.

In the beginning, in order to save money, non-governmental organizations organized bow and arrow clubs, and ordinary people bought bows and arrows for training by themselves.Gradually, all bow and arrow clubs were banned, and no one was allowed to keep bows and arrows privately.

After the Fang La uprising, in the Jiangnan area, the common people were not even allowed to hold simple knives, let alone other weapons.

"Gather the crowd and go down the mountain!"

Zhang Guangdao urged anxiously, brother Yao's son was still down the mountain.

Lao Gu's son was also at the foot of the mountain, and he was also very anxious, going to every nearby tea shop and kicking him at every door.

After counting more than 20 strong men, Lao Gu couldn't wait any longer, so he hurried down the mountain with only these men.

Encountered many villagers on the way, Lao Gu ordered young and strong to join the team.But no one listened to him at all, and everyone just wanted to run away.After running for half an hour, only the three brave ones dared to fight him back to protect their own property.

After walking for a while, they met Zhu Ming.

"Dad," Zhu Ming finally stopped calling Dean Zhu, "You guys go up the mountain first, and after calming down the villagers, organize them to take up weapons. I'll go down first to see the situation."

Zhu Guoxiang hesitated a little, and said: "Be careful, if something goes wrong, run away."

"I'm not stupid." Zhu Ming said with a smile.

Including Ju Ming, Zhang Guangdao, and Bai Sheng, there were a total of 28 people descending the mountain.

Hurry up slowly, first bump into a few servants of the Bai family.

These servants ran the fastest, they only cared about saving their lives, and left the master's house to escape on their own.

After Lao Gu asked a few casually, he hurried down.

"Kill Bai Zongwang!"

"Kill Bai Zongwang!"

The bandit leaders led their minions, pointing at the Bai family and chasing them wildly.

Li Hanzhang's original plan was to use wealth to delay the bandits, and then rush out of the mansion and enter the mountain.If bandits come after them, let the old and weak, women and children go first, choose a suitable place, and organize the young and strong to intercept them.

Although the plan is good, people's hearts are forgotten.

Those guards and tea households were young and strong, and when they were trapped in the mansion, they could unite and work hard, but when they rushed out of the mansion, they lost their hearts.

Those with family members by their side only care about running away.

Those whose family members are on the mountain only want to go to the mountain to reunite with their families as soon as possible.

They ran away in a swarm, and when they ran away, they collapsed. Not to mention Li Hanzhang, even the old white officials couldn't stop shouting.

The bandits are a mob, and so are the young and strong in the village.

Some old and weak women and children could not run fast, and they were gradually overtaken by bandits.

Yang Jun raised his knife and fell, he chopped down one person and scolded: "Get out of the way, don't get in the way!"

A wise woman jumped into the wheat field with her child in her arms to escape, making way for the bandits.More and more people are learning to do it, no longer just going into the mountains, but fleeing in all directions.

Yang Jun didn't chase them, he went straight forward, his target was only the old white man.

But on the old side, when he met a few strong men from tea households who had escaped, he immediately scolded: "Bird man without eggs, don't run away, follow me and kill him!"

Old Gu seemed to be quite prestigious, under his scolding, those strong men really stopped running away.

After walking for more than ten steps, I finally met the old Bai Yuanwai.

Bai Dalang and Bai Sanlang were so exhausted that they were out of breath, so they asked the two loyal servants to carry the old Bai Yuanwai and the old lady Bai on their backs.

The old white member was originally panicked, but when he saw Lao Gu, he immediately felt relieved: "It's good that you're here."

The bandit was already approaching, and Lao Gu raised his brow sharply: "Anyone with eggs, follow me to kill the bandit!"

Yang Jun saw a lot of shadows coming under the moonlight, and he also shouted: "Show battle!"

The so-called opening up the formation is because the village road is too narrow, so the leaders took the minions and went to the dry fields beside the road to form a team.

The bandits have also practiced array formation, but they have long since forgotten all about it, scattered in the dry fields and rushed forward in a swarm.

On the old side, it's exactly the same.

Chickens peck each other!

Zhu Ming got on his horse and didn't charge immediately.After crossing, although his strength has become stronger, his physique has improved, and his reaction is quicker, he still doesn't know how to fight.

In a freshly harvested wheat field, Ju Ming rode his horse around.

His riding skills are not good either. He has just started to practice, so he must choose the best time to do it.
