Ming Dynasty man

Chapter 140 Refuge Uprising
After hearing Sun Meng's yelling and cursing, the two women didn't dare to say anything anymore, they just kept crying, and then they heard crackling sounds from outside, mixed with screams.

Hearing his younger brother's screams, Sun Meng's face kept twitching.

After a while, the screams gradually weakened, but the crackling sound continued.

Seeing that Sun Meng didn't make a sound to stop them, the two of them were about to be beaten to death. Two women outside the door staggered into the room, hugged Sun Meng's thigh, kowtowed and cried, "Brother, we made a mistake. Just let them go!"

Sun Meng's expression was blank, he just stared blankly at the outside of the courtyard.

At this moment, someone shouted outside: "Enough! Do you still want to beat someone to death for a trivial matter?"

Hearing this voice, Sun Meng finally heaved a sigh of relief, and ordered the servant girl to pull the two women apart, got up and walked quickly outside the house.

As soon as he left the house, he saw Li Jing and Yuan Keli walking into the yard.

Sun Meng stepped forward quickly, knelt down in front of Li Jing, kowtowed and said, "Brother, Old Sun's family is ignorant, please punish me!"

Li Jing leaned over and gently pulled Sun Meng up, patted Sun Meng on the shoulder, and then sighed: "Old Sun, get up! You are not to blame for this matter. You have been away for many years, and things at home will inevitably be neglected." in care."

Sun Meng shook his head, sighed, and accompanied Li Jing into the house, Li Jing said hello to his grandparents, and Sun Meng ordered someone to sit and serve tea to Li Jing and Yuan Keli.

After Li Jing and Yuan Keli sat down, Sun Meng's wife rushed to kowtow to Li Jing with his two younger sisters-in-law.

Li Jing waved his hands and asked people to help the three of them up, then sighed and said: "The three sister-in-laws, all of them are family members, and I will not hide it from you, your actions have brought extremely bad effects on the mountains! Knowing what you did How do these things make everyone think of Lao Sun? Betrayal of brothers? Ingratitude? How will Lao Sun see people in the future? How can he lead brothers? Without Lao Sun, what do you think the Sun family is? Fortunately, Brother Sun came back in time. Forget it, you go out, let them heal their injuries, do something serious after their injuries, and don't smear his brother's face again."

The third sister-in-law of the Sun family did not dare to say more, but nodded repeatedly, and then silently retreated.

Looking at the backs of the three of them, Li Jing sighed and said, "Power, status, and money will change the mentality of many people, and there are not many people who can keep their integrity!"

"Brother didn't take good care of his family, let big brother down!" Sun Meng said hastily.

Li Jing shook his head, lightly patted Sun Meng's hand and said, "Old Sun, you are a sensible person and you have done a good job. I am not disappointed in you. However, some things are too late. If I don't come today, will you Are you going to beat your two younger brothers to death? Although what they did was a little wrong, they are not guilty of death anyway. If you are a brother who made a mistake, you can just be the elder brother's discipline. How, how will the two sisters-in-law live in the future, and how will your nephew and niece treat you in the future? There is an old saying that everything goes well with family, so go back and tell your two brothers."

Sun Meng nodded silently upon hearing this.

After dealing with Sun Meng's family affairs, Li Jing stood up and said, "Old Sun, come to my place and tell you what to do in the future."

Sun Meng nodded, knowing that the matter was a secret and he couldn't tell it in his own home.

When they came to Li Jing's residence, the three sat down, and Li Jing nodded to Yuan Keli.

Yuan Keli nodded slightly, took a sip of tea and said, "Sun Meng, you are now the Commander of Zhangde Guard. You must first do two things. The first thing is to rectify the soldiers and horses of the guard. This is very important. According to Ma Wu's According to information, a large number of refugees have rebelled in Shaanxi, although the government has encircled and suppressed them, but the refugees rebelled one after another, and the suppression is overwhelming, come and see!"

Speaking of which, Yuan Keli unfolded the map and clicked points in several places in Shaanxi. These points are Chengcheng County, Yichuan County and Luochuan County with Huanglong Mountain as the center, and Ansai County and Luochuan County north of Yan'an Prefecture. Fugu County and other places in Yulin.

Yuan Keli pointed to these places and said: "Last winter month, the two kings of Baishui rebelled, and the four sides responded immediately. Today, King Jiayin of Fugu, King Zijinliang of Suide for personal use, King Zuogui of Yichuan, King Gao Yingxiang of Ansai Chuang, and Luochuan are not muddy. The situation in Shaanxi has begun to deteriorate. However, the rogues are just a group of mobs who fight scatteredly. As long as the government goes all out to encircle and suppress them, it will not take long for these rogues to be defeated. By then, these rogues will inevitably run around. Jimin and I judged that the rogues had no choice but to go north, east, and west."

Hearing this, Sun Meng wondered, "Why can't you go south?"

Yuan Keli smiled and said, "Because of this."

Speaking of which, Yuan Keli clicked on the map and said: "This is Xi'an, which happens to block the passage from Shaanxi to the south. With the current strength of the rogues, Xi'an can't be beaten at all, and the terrain from Xi'an to Tongguan is extremely dangerous. There are guards in all prefectures and counties, and the rogues would never dare to go south from here, even if they crossed this line by chance, there are probably not many people left, and they will not be able to cause much trouble in Henan."

Then Yuan Keli drew a line to the east along Tongguan, and then continued: "This is Zhongtiao Mountain, which has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. It is impossible for the rogues to attack Zhongtiao Mountain with their current strength. If you go south, you must first go east.”

Sun Meng looked at the map, pondered Yuan Keli's words, pondered for a while and said, "That is to say, break through Hancheng County, and then follow Pingyang Mansion to Zezhou?"

Yuan Keli nodded, drew a line on the map according to what Sun Meng said, and tapped lightly on the final position.

Sun Meng followed the line drawn by Yuan Keli, and finally his eyes fell on the place where Yuan Keli stopped, and then asked in surprise: "Lingchuan? The military master said that the bandits would enter Lingchuan?"

Yuan Keli sighed softly and said, "That's right! As long as the rogues are not stupid, they will definitely take the route of Lingchuan when they enter Henan. However, in my estimation, the rogues may rely on the terrain of Zezhou to deal with the officers and soldiers for a period of time."

"Why?" Sun Meng asked puzzled, "The rogues can enter Henan from Jiyuan as long as they follow the two counties of Qinshui and Yangcheng."

Yuan Keli shook his head and said: "The terrain in Henan is flat, which is not conducive to fighting with bandits. Only the terrain like Zezhou can deal with the officers and soldiers. In addition, this is the key point, because there is a rebel team in the Lingchuan area."

"There is also a rebel team near Lingchuan? Why didn't I know?" Sun Meng asked in surprise.

Li Jing smiled wryly and said: "I just found out that this team is usually as quiet as us, and even lower-key than us, so it didn't attract too much attention from the government."

It turned out that after Li Jing learned that there was a copper mine in Zhongtiao Mountain, he began to send people to the Zhongtiao Mountain area to inquire about the news, and at the same time sent people to survey the terrain along the road.

When the person sent to survey the terrain came to Shuiyu Village in Lingchuan, he accidentally found that the people in the village seemed to be very wary of him as an outsider, so he was more careful, and carefully inspected Shuiyu while surveying the terrain The layout of the buildings around the village finally found that many defensive facilities were built around Shuiyu Village.

Although these facilities are not as exaggerated as Hongshanling, people with a discerning eye can tell what these facilities are for at a glance.

In addition, this person also discovered that there are thousands of people living in this small Shuiyu Village. The terrain of Shuiyu Village is similar to that of Hongshanling. How can so many people live?The only possibility is to rob rich households.

Li Jing was also taken aback when he heard the reward. He didn't expect such a big guy to be hidden beside him.

Li Jing immediately sent Chen Erhu's assault team out, telling them to find out what was going on with this group of people.

Chen Erhu led his men to lurk in Shuiyu Village for several days, and finally found out the situation in Shuiyu Village.

Shuiyu Village is indeed a den of bandits. Most of the people living in it are Muslims. The leader is called Jiu Tiaolong. This man is very intelligent. He organized and trained some villagers. weapon.

However, after Wang Er and the others rebelled one after another, the Nine Dragons also began to move around. They were not confined to the surroundings of Shuiyu Village, and took their men to move around Lingchuan from time to time. The authorities have begun to take notice of them.

After listening to Li Jing's speech, Sun Meng slapped his thigh and cursed: "Damn it, aren't these guys making trouble for us? Once the rogues enter Zezhou, the nine dragons will definitely collude with them, and they will definitely be killed by then." Tired us."

Li Jing shook his head and said, "I'm not afraid that they will hurt us, but I'm afraid that they will enter our territory to destroy. But everyone is a bandit, I can't attack them rashly, so you have to deal with them by your guard. Of course , if they can make trouble in our territory a few years later, then we have enough supplies, and it doesn’t matter if we do it ourselves.”

Yuan Keli smiled and continued: "If you come early, your guard will have to come forward, but your guard has too few soldiers to fight, so you must seize the time to rectify the troops."

Li Jing continued: "And you have to send an army to deploy defenses at the border between Lingchuan and Lin County, just in case!"

Sun Meng nodded and said: "I see, I will send Zhou Daqing over when I go back! Brother, what do you think is the right place to put Daqing's troops?"

Zhou Daqing was one of the officers and soldiers who defected from Zhengzhou with Sun Meng, and he was definitely Li Jing and Sun Meng's hardcore.After Sun Meng served as Qianhu, he was promoted to become Baihu, and later he was promoted to deputy Qianhu. Sun Meng was promoted to commander of the guards.

Li Jing looked at the map, pondered for a while and said, "Let's put it in Wudaoling. If anything happens, I can take care of it nearby."

Sun Meng nodded.

Yuan Keli continued: "Sun Meng, one more thing is that you are the commander now, use your authority to provide as much gunpowder and other materials as possible to the mountains, especially copper and lead, we must hurry up to produce shells, these materials The more the merrier."
