Ming Dynasty man

Chapter 68
He didn't know more than half of those traditional characters.

Especially writing with a brush.

Although Li Jing practiced writing with a brush in his spare time, Li Jing himself was ashamed to say that he wrote with a brush.

Each character is written like a dog crawling.

Even he had to look at some characters for a long time before he could recognize what characters were written.

How did this make him write?Even if you write it down, you can't get it out!

Although Li Jing didn't care about appearances, he still needed some face.

Shen Ying was different. She was from a serious academic background, and she studied poetry, poetry and other things that cultivated sentiment.

Shen Zheng asked his daughter to learn that so that she could have the demeanor of a lady, so that she can find a husband's family in the future, which is completely different from the business and other things that Shen Jixian and other brothers learned.

As for the other people on the mountain, it is not worth mentioning.

People like Gao Qi can only be counted as knowing a few words.

And Ma Wu and others were taught by Shen Zhengde in his spare time, not as good as Gao Qi.

If Shen Ying could help, Li Jing would be equipped with a secretary.Writing can help Li Jing save a lot of energy.

Moreover, Shen Ying was born in a businessman's family like the Shen family, and she had heard and seen that even if she didn't deliberately learn it, she was much better than ordinary people in accounting.

In the future, when Shen Jixian goes out to do business, Shen Ying can completely take over Shen Jixian's work.

After pondering for a while, Li Jing suddenly burst out laughing.

The Shen family seemed to owe him in the previous life, giving money, goods, and people. Now Li Jing himself is still thinking about his daughter, and it seems a little unkind to be a human being.

After thinking about it, Li Jing sighed, let's do it later!I will repay the Shen family later!

After sorting out his emotions, Li Jing began to think about what to do next.

First of all, we must pull out the curse of the Xu family.

Especially after killing Xu Laosan now.

It won't take long for the news of Xu's third son's murder to reach the Xu family's ears. At that time, the Xu family will definitely mobilize all forces to retaliate.

Therefore, the main figures of the Xu family must be killed before the Xu family gets the news.

Otherwise, I am afraid that the cottage will not have time to develop.

It's just that the Xu family's son-in-law is the prefect of Zhangde, and his younger brother is the prefect of Wei Hui. If these two people are killed, it may alarm the court, and they must be weighed clearly before they can do it.

Li Jing was thinking about it, Chen Dahu, Zhou Huhu, Liu Erleng, Chen Erhu and others came to report the situation of the battle.

Seeing the dignified expressions on everyone's faces, Li Jing knew that the cottage must have lost a lot this time.

But when Li Jing heard that more than 70 people died in this battle, more than 50 people were seriously injured, and more than 100 people were slightly injured.

More than 70 people!How many people are there in the cottage?What a loss!
This is a cold-blade combat, and the proportion of direct combat deaths is actually very low. The biggest reason for soldiers' death is that they are not treated after being injured, or the wound infection worsens due to untimely treatment.

If the officers and soldiers were not trapped in the valley this time and were completely blocked by reinforcements outside, and everyone was on foot, once the officers and soldiers escaped, the bandits would not be able to catch up at all.

In addition, these officers and soldiers Li Jing had issued a kill order, otherwise it would be impossible to wipe out these more than 200 officers and soldiers in this battle, and I am afraid that most of them would still be prisoners.

But it was precisely because no prisoners were wanted that aroused the determination of the officers and soldiers to resist desperately.

Lowering his head silently, Li Jing blamed himself very much at this moment!
Li Jing's failure to participate in the battle in the end was not the reason for the large number of casualties among his men.

In order to train his subordinates, it is not wrong for Li Jing not to participate in the battle. Sooner or later, these people will fight without Li Jing's participation. This test will have to be passed sooner or later. If you don't work hard during training, you can't respond in time, and your physical fitness is not good. Those people will definitely be eliminated.

The reason for the large number of casualties of the subordinates was that there were no defensive facilities built, which caused a lot of casualties when the officers and soldiers first attacked.

The second is the kill order.

The order to kill should not have been issued.

The order to kill is equivalent to not taking prisoners or surrendering, which is actually not much different from killing prisoners or surrendering.

Since ancient times, killing captives and surrendering generals has no good end, Li Jing should have known it very well.

As a modern soldier, Li Jing should not have made this mistake.

A wrong order often causes great losses to subordinates.

Li Jing is no longer the special soldier he used to be. He is the supervisor of a cottage. He is the head of the family. He is responsible for the lives of his brothers and their families.

"Nephew, don't be sad! These people died in battle to protect their families and their homeland, and they deservedly died." Shen Zheng walked over and patted Li Jingdi on the shoulder lightly.

Li Jing shook his head, looked up at the brothers standing in front of him, and then slowly glanced at the crowd gradually approaching in the distance.

At this time, all the people on the mountain gathered slowly, including those old and weak women and children.

Seeing the blank faces of these people, Li Jing knew that they were waiting for his arrangement.

"Uncle Shen, prepare the sackcloth, and the whole army will mourn!" Li Jing's eyes finally became firm.

Hearing Li Jing use the word "whole army filial piety", Shen Zheng was stunned; "whole army? What do you mean? Is this a rebellion?"

But Shen Zheng finally didn't ask anything, just nodded, and then arranged for someone to prepare the linen.

. .

After explaining the arrangement of the deceased to Shen Zheng, Li Jing began to busy those injured subordinates.

After all, the dead are dead, and the living are more important.

Fortunately, when he was in Jinniuling, Li Jing ordered Liu Erlen to arrest more than a dozen doctors. Seeing that Li Jing gave a lot of money, more than half of these doctors stayed.

Usually, these doctors basically have nothing to do. Most of the time they help train and treat injured bandits with minor injuries, but most of the time they help nearby villagers to see a doctor.

During this transfer, a few doctors also brought their children along with the folks, and it was useful if they didn't want to.

Although there are few people, it is better than no one to treat the wounded.

These doctors have been busy for most of the day, and finally dealt with the dozens of people who were seriously injured.

The remaining slightly injured were also bandaged by their family members or uninjured brothers under the guidance of the doctor.

Li Jing inspected and saw that all the injured had been treated properly, nodded, feeling quite relieved, and at the same time secretly grateful to Shen Zhengneng for taking precautions.

Because the wounded were treated smoothly this time, thanks to Shen Zheng.

Bandits were often injured during training, so naturally a lot of medicinal materials were needed.

In order to save the trouble of buying medicine every time, Shen Zheng ordered the shopkeeper Wang Zhengzhou to sweep up many medicine shops, and loaded several carts of medicine materials to the mountain.

At that time, many drug dealers thought that shopkeeper Wang would change his career to open a drug store.
.
The cold wind is bleak.

Li Jing stood solemnly in front of dozens of new graves.

Behind them are old man Chen, Shen Zheng, Chen Dahu, Liu Erleng and others.

Behind it are all the brothers in the cottage and their family.

Everyone wore filial piety, and the snow-white sackcloth dyed half of the mountainside white.

"Let's start!" Li Jing said softly.

Shen Zheng nodded, and shouted loudly: "All bow down!"

Li Jing took a step forward with his left foot, knelt down with his right leg, then retracted his left leg, kneeling respectfully in front of the cemetery.

Everyone behind him also knelt down following Li Jing's movements.

"Kowtow!" Shen Zheng shouted.

Following Shen Zheng's voice, everyone began to kowtow for the fallen brothers.

"Second kowtow!" Shen Zheng continued.

. .

When the ancients worshiped, they said three worships and nine knocks.

That is to say, you have to kneel three times and kowtow nine times.

Although Li Jing didn't know these rules, he only had to follow Shen Zheng's instructions.

In addition, Li Jing also realized that the ancient people's funeral was actually very complicated.

But Shen Zheng and the others knew that the Shanzhai had lost its vitality this time, and there were many things that Li Jing needed to deal with, so everything was kept simple.

"rise!"

When the last kowtow was over, following Shen Zheng's voice, Li Jing stood up, then turned and separated from Chen Dahu and the others, and came before a group of old and weak women and children.

"Fathers, fellow villagers, brothers and sisters! Li Jing is incompetent and caused so many brothers to die in battle. I hereby apologize to everyone!"

After finishing speaking, Li Jing bowed down again and bowed three times to everyone!
"Big boss, you can't help it! Without you, we wouldn't even have enough to eat, how could we have a good day today! Those in front, quickly help the big boss, we can't afford it!" An old man hurriedly shouted .

"That's right! Without the head of the family, we wouldn't have a good life. If the man of my family can follow such a good person as the head of the house, it's worth dying!" A woman said.

"Master, get up! My mother said, my father will follow you so that our family can have enough to eat. After my father dies, I will still be there. When I grow up, I will follow the elder." A little boy ran over , pulled Li Jing's arm and shouted.

The little boy was only six or seven years old, with tears hanging on his face, and his little face was flushed red from the cold on the mountain.

Li Jing gently wiped away the tears from the boy's face, then held him in his arms.

At this time, Chen Dahu and Chen Erhu hurried over to help Li Jing.

Li Jing hugged the little boy and stood up, then sighed and said: "I, Li Jing, I'm sorry everyone! Seeing that the Chinese New Year is about to come, I let you bereaved sons, husbands, fathers, etc. Bereavement."

After a pause, Li Jing continued: "The only thing I can do is to let you have no worries about food and clothing in the future."

After finishing speaking, Li Jing turned to Shen Zhengdao: "Uncle Shen, these people's pensions will be doubled!"

Shen Zheng nodded, knowing that at this moment, he couldn't be fussy. To win people's hearts, this money must be paid.

Shen Zheng immediately called Shen Jixian over, and asked Shen Jixian to count the number of people, and then pay the pension according to the hair of each person.

Li Jing handed the boy in his arms to his mother, nodded to the woman, then turned to Chen Dahu and said, "Dahu, did you see that Taniguchi?"

"En!" Chen Dahu looked at Taniguchi and replied.

"You take fifty people and build a horizontal wall with stones at the mouth of the valley. The wall is two feet high and one foot wide. Remember, it must be solid." Li Jing said.

Chen Dahu scratched his head and asked: "Is this valley sealed? But if it is sealed, no one can get in?"

Li Jing was speechless after hearing this, this Chen Dahu is really a lump of elm, and he doesn't know whether it is right or wrong to entrust this matter to him.

At this time, a person behind him suddenly said: "Brother Big Tiger, Da Dangjia means to seal the valley with a horizontal wall, but leave a door in the middle."

Li Jing turned his head and saw that it was an officer soldier who had surrendered with Liu Baihu.
