Win the Ding 1617

ps: I suddenly found that there are already a million words. Don't you give a vote to encourage it?

Compared with the surrounding counties, Xin'an County, which was established in the first year of Wanli, belongs to the kind of remote cape, with few people and less arable land, and pirates haunt the islands above the sea, which usually offends the boss. Officials, or those who don't have any backing background, will be sent here to work, which can be regarded as a kind of distribution.

However, Wu Wenming, the current magistrate of Xin'an County, doesn't think so.He even considered himself a blessing in disguise.Those colleagues who were very proud in the past, under their rule, there are mobs who resist food and taxes everywhere. Although they have not yet developed to the state of rushing to cross the government and looting counties and counties, there are wars everywhere in the area under their jurisdiction, and government orders cannot be implemented even ten miles out of the city. , is not a good thing either!

On the other hand, my own Xin'an County, although it is remote here, and the local clan's powerful forces are intertwined, and they have contacts and relatives, often a government affairs must be discussed with various prominent families before it can be implemented.Among them, it is necessary to trade back and forth, and bargain.but.Do not offend the rich and powerful families in politics, but a principle that the Ming court knows well, what is it for me here?What's more, the receivables of ice and charcoal, fire consumption, and floating income, I didn't miss a cent. Under the control of these wealthy families, compared with other places in Guangdong, it can be said to be a peaceful paradise!

Not long ago, the fellow who served as a staff member next to Governor Xiong, who was in charge of exchanging manuscripts and letters, sent a secret letter. Governor Xiong was very satisfied with the five-foot full-length mirror he sent, and it had already been evaluated as outstanding in his assessment.Good news will come soon.At that time, it is necessary to ask for a cup of wedding wine for official promotion.

Under the eaves of the corridor, he is holding a book of poetry in his hand.Basking in the sun, reciting the beautiful poems of the sages in a low voice, and taking a sip of the Kung Fu tea brewed in the small purple sand pot on the bamboo table next to him from time to time, Wu Wenming, the county magistrate of Xin'an, really feels like a god.

However, good things are often disturbed by people who don't open their eyes.

"My lord! My lord!"

Dian Shi, who was in charge of public security and catching robbers in Xin'an County, rushed to the back house in a hurry.

Wu Wen, the magistrate of Xin'an County, took a look at this ignorant classic history, and asked in a nasal voice in a protracted Zhejiang Mandarin, "What's the matter? You're so panic-stricken? Don't lose your official dignity!"

The so-called official rank crushes people to death.After he finished reprimanding the classic history, he picked up the purple sand teapot and tasted the tea carefully.

"You're a guy from Ngong, and you didn't get out of the regular imperial examination. Why are you pretending to be a big deal with me?" Dian Shi cursed secretly in his heart.

"My lord. I found a large group of bandits moving towards the county outside the city! The speed is very fast!"

"Crack!" The small purple clay pot fell from Wu Wenming's hand.smashed to pieces on the slate.

Outside the city, on the road leading to Xin'an County, there were waves of thunderous movements approaching from far away.

Small chaos live in the city, big chaos live in the countryside.

Now almost every village in Guangdong is lit and smoke is everywhere, all the way from Kowloon.Chen Tianhua paid a little attention to the nearby villages.There is almost no village that has not built a wall.

villages everywhere.There are very strict village walls built by masonry around. The difference is that it depends on the financial resources and the strength of the village.The obvious reaction is in the construction of the wall.There is a powerful village with a wall built with blue stones, more than two feet high, and there are artillery towers at the four corners. It is not so much a wall as a city wall, which is closer.In addition to the general defensive facilities such as rolling logs and rocks, through the binoculars in his hand, Chen Tianhua could vaguely see a few generals' bronze cannons and Frangji.

Under the flags that marked the name of the village or the name of the clan fluttering on the top of the city, there are members of the village coming and going to inspect from time to time.Presumably, these village men are all young and strong men in the village.

In troubled times, who is a soldier and who is a bandit, who is a good citizen, and who is a strong beam, I am afraid it is difficult to say clearly, these roles change too fast.Some simply play several social roles on one individual at the same time.

Looking at the goods piled high on the four-wheeled carriages in the team, Chen Tianhua couldn't help sighing. If they were all escorting these goods from the Han Yuan Company, the task entrusted to him by the lord would be difficult to complete. .

However, Chen Tianhua didn't know that this trip to escort the goods for the Hanyuan company would exert enormous pressure and influence on the villages along the route in Xin'an County.

The soaring smoke and dust brought up by the rapid march of people and horses drives away the loud neighing of the horses.The ground crushed by the huge vehicle was shaking constantly. Judging by the momentum, there might be more than ten thousand people in this team?And all of them have bright armor and shiny knives and guns.Occasionally, there were pedestrians and business travelers walking on the road, and when they bumped into each other, they immediately jumped into the ditch beside the road and hid in the ditch, lest they offend this group of gentlemen and bring disaster to themselves.

In the distance, on the wall of the village where the village was built for self-protection, a group of villagers kept hiding behind the crenels of the wall, analyzing in low voices the origin of the large group of people in front of them.

Pirates at sea come ashore to trade?It looks similar from the vehicle, but will the pirates have so many horses?Do pirates have such powerful infantry?Looking at the aura of the men in the team, it seems that there are mountains and rivers in front of them, and they are about to be knocked over and filled up!

The guys in their hands look like officers and soldiers, and some people who have seen the world pointed out that the guys in their hands are the same as the servants of several important figures.But he didn't wear a banner, and he didn't see him wearing the red fat jacket that is common to imperial court officers and soldiers.Then, a terrible thought lifted everyone's hearts to their throats.The well-equipped officers and soldiers did not wear banners or wear fat jackets. Could it be that they are rebellious soldiers?This group of people don't want to attack a small village like us.We are poor here, we want to fight, to fight Kam Tin's Kat Hing Wai, Wing Lung Wai, Taikang Wai, South Wai, Bei Wai and San Wai, the so-called Kam Tin Six Wai!They are much richer than us!

As for Yonglongwei, which they talked about, it was very generous to lower the suspension bridge under the order of the village patriarch.He opened the gate and ordered people to bring some tea and snacks to wait on both sides of the road, inviting the passing guests to have snacks and drink tea.

But it's okay.Chen Tianhua and the others hurried on their way, no matter what the attitudes of the walled villages along the way were, as long as they didn't come out to stop them, and they didn't fire guns at the marching troops on the walls of the walled village, they would ignore their actions, no matter whether they hid behind the crenels or lowered their heads. Talking loudly, standing on the wall and pointing, or setting out tea and snacks to entertain.The brigade just kept moving forward rumblingly.Only a few people were left with the deacons of Yonglongwei who were standing by the dim sum table to say a few words of courtesy, and left a few silver dollars as tea money.Then he ran past them.

Everyone felt their feet trembling unceasingly, which made them tremble, and the trees beside them.Dead branches on the ground.They were all shaking.The sound of the potter's wheel crushing the ground was incessant.After coming for a long time, I finally listened to it.Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, this matter has always been avoided.I don't know what the origin of these uncles is.

Such thoughts also circled in Wu Wenming's mind in Xin'an County for a long time.

Looking at the mighty marching team under the city.The impact on his mind was no less than those of the villagers.

As a person who spent money to buy Ngong and then went to Xin'an County to fill in the vacancy, from his hometown in Zhejiang to Guangdong, he has a relatively good understanding of the army of the Ming Dynasty.This armed force is unique on the road from Jiangnan to Lingnan!

"If they attack my county seat, can the county seat be defended?"

Looking at the dusty-faced Dian Shi and the government officials in the third class around him, Wu Wenming couldn't help but beat drums in his heart.

As if to test the heart function and psychological endurance of everyone in the city, Chen Tianhua took out his pocket watch and glanced at the time pointer on the surface.An hour has passed since the last short break.

"Blow the horn and stop advancing! A little rest!"

With the sound of a sharp bronze horn, the marching team immediately stopped.

"Attention all teams! Rest for a quarter of an hour!"

Immediately, the marching people relaxed. Some unbuttoned their clothes and let the wind blow their sweaty bodies. Some unscrewed the water bottle around their waist and poured it all together. Then they wiped their mouths happily and took the water bottle to go. Go to the kitchen cart and fill another pot.

"grown ups!"

Seeing that the bustling people in the city seemed to have no sense of discipline and vigilance, Dian Shi regained a little courage. Of course, more temptations came from the hundreds of carts.God knows how many good things are hidden under the high raised thatch.

"Taking advantage of this group of people's slackness and slack defense, I will lead people out of the city to charge for a while! Repel this group of thieves and bandits!"

Wu Wenming glanced at Dian Shi with his small eyes. Mr. Wu knew very well what plan he had in mind. Was the purpose to repel the bandits under the city?It's just for the hundreds of cars of goods.

"You can go out of the city to attack thieves, don't be greedy for meritorious service!"

Wu Wenming's mind is very clear, if you want to beat yourself, naturally the first contribution will be mine, and I will also take the first share of the seized property.However, things like going out of the city to kill the enemy, I'm sorry, it's your job!

Na Dianshi could hear the mystery hidden in the words of Wu County Magistrate, just ran down the city along the horse path, and called the Minzhuang and the yamen team to mobilize before the battle.

"Dou Namachi! Do you want to get rich?!"

"miss you!"

"Whoever doesn't want to get rich is a shovel!"

"The group of thieves outside the city, the guys in their hands, and the goods in the car are all good things and valuable things. If you want to go out of the city to eat meat with me, follow me!"

"Damn it! It's done!"

The head of the Minzhuang team and the third class of yamen servants could see clearly that the people outside were as unsuspecting as if they were going to a market in a fair.But everyone can see clearly the knives and guns they placed randomly. An extinct knife can be sold for five silver dollars in Xin'an County, and a Sangmen gun can be sold for three silver dollars.The group of people outside the city held not knives and guns, but shiny white silver dollars!

At the opening of the city gate, Dian Shi rode a gelding and under the protection of a large banner, came out of the city majesticly, waving a high-quality sword that was said to be produced in Longquan, Zhejiang.Behind them are hundreds of Minzhuang, government servants and city guards.The messy team held water and fire sticks, iron rulers, chains, knives and guns in their hands, and went straight to Chen Tianhua's headquarters not far from the city.

"I've seen people who want money but don't want their lives, but I've never seen someone so desperate!"

Seeing a group of people rushing out of the city, they came straight to their team aggressively, shouting all kinds of slogans in a mess.It's nothing more than words like killing thieves, getting promoted and getting rich.

"Array!"

Without waiting for Chen Tianhua to issue an order, several battalion officers accompanying him had already yelled loudly for his subordinates to quickly enter the battle state from the slack state of rest, and the whole team stretched its blood like a lion that was still lazily dozing under the shade of a tree just now. With a big mouth and waving sharp claws, it waits for the prey to come to its door.

The spearmen quickly lined up on the outermost layer of the camp, holding the five-meter long spears in their hands obliquely outwards, like the spikes of a porcupine.Behind the spearmen, rows of swordsmen and musketeers lined up there.Behind the spearman, the musketeer quickly pulled off the cap of the gun.Check Flint.Install the propellant, insert the lead bullet, and ram it twice with a cleaning rod, so that the gunpowder and the projectile can be tightly combined.

These people followed Chen Tianhua to Guangdong.They are all the backbones above the armor commander selected by the guards from the battalions.One by one has a wealth of experience in front of the battle.It was completely beyond the imagination of the people in Xin'an County opposite.To put it bluntly, even at this time against the White Armored Soldiers of the Eight Banners Manchuria, the outcome is only five or five.Perhaps the fighting ability of the white armored soldiers alone surpassed these people.One-on-one, one-on-two, there will be no disadvantages.However, the Nanzhong Army implements wolf pack tactics, which one will fight you one-on-one?They are all stabbed by a group of spears!

Dian Shi of Xin'an County had just rushed across the moat with his team, and before he had time to contact Chen Tianhua's troops, he saw that the troops on the opposite side had changed from scattered to rigorous, and the knives, guns and equipment discarded on the ground were already tightly grasped in their hands, aiming at them. set his own direction.With the drum in his heart, he quietly slowed down.

"kill!"

Master Dian Shi continued to play the role of a hero, urging his horse to sit down and rush towards the opposite side. His eyes were already red from the silver, and he was unaware of the changes on the other side.

He didn't notice that the heads of the Minzhuang team and the Yamen team behind him could see clearly, there was no way, this group of people walked on the market every day, relying on a pair of eyes, the so-called bachelor's eyes match clippers .I have developed a good ability to check the style.Seeing that the opposite side immediately put on a posture of fighting for their lives, this group of people couldn't help but quietly put down their steps.They know who can be provoked, who can't be provoked, who can be bullied casually, and who must be greeted with a smile.

It's hard to say whether the group in front of them is going to greet them with a smile, but looking at the situation, they definitely belong to the group that cannot be provoked.

It's a pity that Lord Dianshi doesn't have the experience of the world like his subordinates.So, the tragedy happened like this.

"Puff puff puff! Puff!"

The four spearmen ran forward a few steps quickly, stopping Mr. Dian Shi who was single-handedly trying to charge into the formation of the Southern Central Army.If you don't talk to me, just stab with a spear!

Poor Dian Shi, just now he whipped the gelding's buttocks fiercely just now. The horse couldn't bear the pain, and was galloping forward, just in time to bump into the four stabbing spears head-on!

Two spears pierced Dianshi's body, and two bloody arrows spurted out immediately.The other two spears pierced the horse's chest and abdomen. The horse couldn't bear the pain, and fell to the ground with a groan and rolled twice. Seeing that it couldn't live.

As for Master Dianshi, he was in an extremely embarrassing situation. First, he was pierced by a spear, and the five-foot-long Sangmen Spear head easily pierced through the cotton armor he was wearing. Sharp, everyone can calculate, the speed when the spear is thrust out, plus the speed of his galloping horse, according to Newton's law of acceleration, sorry, the little physics in junior high school has long been returned to the teacher. )'s long, blood-stained spearheads were exposed on his back.

After that it was even more terrifying.The two spearmen are also comrades who have fought side by side for many years, and they know how to use such an opportunity to maximize the courage of their opponents.The two of them exhaled together, lifted their front hands up, and pressed their back hands down sharply. "Hey!" Two Sangmen guns lifted Dianshi abruptly from the horse's back, the spearheads were crossed on Dianshi's back, and steaming blood flowed down.Such a tragic scene.The hundreds of people who followed were all dumbfounded in fright.

In just a few breaths, Master Dianshi has become a skewer on someone else's spear, so what should we do?

Seeing that he was thrown to the ground by two spearmen, he was still twisting his body in pain, struggling in vain on the ground full of his own blood and the blood of his horse, trying to escape towards the county seat, with one hand still Grabbing something in mid-air, he was babbling and shouting something, presumably saying "Help, save me." Something like that.However, under such tyrannical force, who would dare to take their own lives to touch other people's spears?

"At first, I thought that many villages and villages looked like ordinary people. In fact, when I saw passing merchants and tourists with a lot of wealth, I didn't mind being a hero who blocked the road to buy money by accident. Don't say that they are weak passing merchants with few bodyguards. Officers and soldiers holding high the flag of Ming Dynasty dare to rob food and salaries. Unexpectedly, the people in the county town are also so miserable!"

A hundred steps away, Chen Tianhua, who was watching from the square, closed the binoculars in his hand with a sneer.

"Sir, what should we do?"

The battalion officer Deng Xianda asked for instructions in a low voice.

"It's not rude to come and go. If you don't give them some color, I'm afraid that every time we come here in the future, someone will come out to buy road money! There are so many fences, large and small, in Xin'an County, and the county seat is just one of them. , if every fence came out to ask me for money and rob my team, what would I do?" (To be continued...)
