Touring the Ming Dynasty

Duan Fei asked puzzledly: "Why don't the rich and young people in the village go out to look for opportunities outside the mountains? I saw that you had a fierce fight just now. Wouldn't it be good to join the army?"

"This..." Luo Lianghui sighed: "Growing up here, no one is willing to leave. Besides, people in the mountains will be looked down upon when they go to big places. The elders in the family, the wife is worried about the children, and the husband suffers outside. If you want to go, you can’t go.”

Duan Fei nodded in a daze, but he asked again: "Then why don't you join the army? Is it because you are afraid of going to the battlefield?"

The chiefs of the two villages smiled wryly and remained silent. When Duan Fei thought they had acquiesced, Peng Xing, the magistrate of Ruizhou Prefecture, said in surprise: "Your Excellency, you really don't know? My Daming uses all guards." ..."

After explaining Duan Fei, he learned that in order to control the army, the Ming Dynasty adopted the Weisuo system. The Weisuo soldiers are also called Tuntian soldiers. Long-term disadvantages are slowly manifested.

The hereditary military system of the guards resulted in some people being born to be soldiers, regardless of whether they are willing or not, no matter how unqualified they are physically, and some people who are quite good soldiers but have no chance to serve the country, just like the strong surplus population in these two villages.

Duan Fei just asked casually, seeing that the road was blocked, he didn't say any more. When the wine was in full swing, the dust rose high in the distance, and two fast horses came in a hurry, and immediately sat two officials. Duan Fei reported to him: "Lord Duan, Lord Governor Wang ordered me to send a secret letter, please open it yourself."

Duan Fei took the secret letter, opened it for a look, passed the letter to Su Rong, and said to the two people: "I'll go back with you, please wait."

After seeing it, Su Rong couldn't help smiling, and said, "My lord, it seems that someone is impatient."

Duan Fei nodded and smiled: "Yes, it's faster than expected, so impatient, this person is not a problem."

Su Rong shook her head and smiled, "It's not a problem? Don't underestimate him, my lord. How many people have fallen into his hands, and the government has been unable to do anything about him. I think it's better for my lord not to go near the water in the future."

Facing Su Rong's ridicule, Duan Fei smiled nonchalantly and said, "It's just right, I plan to go back on horseback, Shi Bin, send out a signal to invite Mr. Tang back, and I'm ready to go back to Nanchang."

Under the enthusiasm of the villagers of the two villages, Duan Fei and his party quickly disappeared into the distance on horseback. When they had just galloped for two or three miles and turned around the foot of a mountain, the two yamen servants who led the way suddenly turned into a small path. Not good, he reined in his horse and stopped after overtaking, only to hear the two people shouting in the path: "My lord, please follow us, Lord Wang has sent someone to meet him."

Duan Fei rode his horse and followed, and after a while, he saw a group of well-dressed officers and soldiers coming out of the woods.

"The Chief Niu Caiyi was ordered to escort Lord Duan." A general came on a galloping horse and clasped his fists at Duan Fei.

Duan Fei returned the salute and said, "I'm here to help you, General."

Two other riders jogged over, and Duan Fei recognized them as two of the four personal guards beside the governor Wang Shouren, named Chi Chengchang and Chai Junfu, one of them with a sword and the other with a bow on his back, they should be good at close combat and combat Attack from a distance.

The two also met with Duan Fei, and the two teams got together, and more than 1000 people rushed forward to protect Duan Fei and his party, and left for Shanggao County.

As they walked, Shi Bin, who had never been treated like this, couldn't help but whispered to Duan Fei: "Brother Fei, Lord Governor Wang actually sent so many people to protect you, he really loves you."

Duan Fei looked around, but felt a little heavy in his heart. One or two masters are enough to deal with Can Sha, so why do we need so many soldiers?Lord Governor Wang really had a clever plan, and he had already made two-handed preparations. If his plan failed and caused an unmanageable situation, I was afraid that the thousand-man team would be responsible for cleaning up the mess. Fortunately, he succeeded.

He looked at Su Rong who was behind, Su Rong also heard Shi Bin's words, she looked at Duan Fei with full eyes, those eyes that could talk seemed to say: "Master Wang is so overbearing..."

The team of thousands of people slowly came to Shanggao County. The commander-in-chief Niu Caiyi didn't know what he said to the magistrate of Shanggao County. "Lord Duan, according to the secret order of the governor, we will take more land and return to Nanchang slowly. It is getting late today, so we will rest in Shanggao County for a day."

Duan Fei has no objection. Although he has so many people to protect him, he is still a little worried about those Jianghu people who can go high and high. He has read too many martial arts novels in the past. His ability is enviable, but when he is faced with the assassination of Jianghu masters, he doesn't feel so good. Is it useful to deal with Jianghu masters? More than 200 years later, Emperor Yongzheng was beheaded by people from the rivers and lakes in the palace...

After arranging the residence behind the county office, Duan Fei looked out of the yard in a daze. Su Rong saw what Duan Fei was worried about, smiled lightly, made a cup of Biluochun and handed it over, and then comforted in a low voice: "My lord, you don't need to worry." , Can Sha is just a first-rate water thief. When he comes to land and meets four first-rate land masters, it can be said that he has no chance. Don't worry, young master, at least there is me, I can't beat him It’s okay to delay for a while and let the young master escape on horseback.”

Duan Fei glanced at her and said, "Are you my master or my maid now? You can easily be misunderstood by entering my room in men's clothes and doing maid work."

"You rascal, a dog biting Lu Dongbin, you don't know a good heart, hum, I'll ignore you." Su Rong rolled her eyes at Duan Fei, although she was dressed like a man, she was still astonishingly charming.

Su Rong turned around to leave, Duan Fei stretched out his hand to grab her catkin, Su Rong didn't turn her head, but seemed to feel his movement, swung her backhand, and slapped Duan Fei's hand away, Su Rong jumped forward He took a step, turned around and shouted, "What do you want to do?"

Duan Fei innocently rubbed the back of his hand that hurt from being slapped, and said: "I haven't finished talking yet, why are you walking so fast? Are you afraid that I will tease you?"

Su Rong put her hand on the hilt of the sword, and shouted: "You should be worried, if you have anything to say, just say it, my lord is going to rest."

Duan Fei shook his head, looking at Su Rong with a look of regret, before Su Rong was about to go berserk, Duan Fei said suddenly: "You really found that Lord Wang sent all four of his guards to protect me?"

Only now did Su Rong realize that she had slipped her tongue by accident, she put on a straight face, and said, "So what?"

Duan Fei frowned and said: "Master Wang sent all the four guards around me to protect me, but his own itinerary is all by water, isn't Mr. Wang afraid of Can Sha looking for him?"

Su Rong thought about this possibility, but said in her mouth: "Master Wang is Tiankui star who descended to earth, so he is naturally blessed by the gods, you still worry about yourself."

Looking at Su Rong, Duan Fei gritted his teeth suddenly, and said, "It seems that you didn't think of this problem in advance. How could you not think of it with your intelligence? Could it be that you are too lazy to use your brain after being with me for a long time? Also, the more you I like to bicker with me more and more, how can a maid talk back to her master all day? Be careful that my family can't serve you!"

Su Rong glared at him, turned her head and left, said: "I'm too lazy to talk to you, just daydream, remember the toilet is under the big tree in the east, don't fall into it in the middle of the night."

Looking at Su Rong's back, Duan Fei smiled, and suddenly there was an urge to see Su Rong's true face...
