Begging in late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 129 Here comes the sender!
In the next few days, the officers and soldiers had a very uncomfortable life.

The reason why Scarab Ridge is called Scarab Ridge is because there are jagged rocks and messy vegetation everywhere on the mountain. It looks like a mangled mountain. There are too many people who can hide in this place.

Unexpectedly, a few arrows shot out from the grass, and I went to search, but it was just a simple crossbow made of bamboo slices, and the rope on it was stepped on by the cavalry. The infantry bared their teeth, and once Liu Yinda got angry and ordered his soldiers to catch these bastards no matter what, the 50-man Ming army team chased after them and went down the mountain, only to step on bamboo sticks and stumbles. One unlucky ghost was stuck in the middle of his thigh with three bamboo sticks tied to the bounced branch, and he could immediately make a sworn obeisance with the supervisor Chen Eunuch.

People who have never been to the mountains do not know that there are thousands of trails in the mountains, but in fact there are only a few small ones that can be walked. Looking at the layers of the deep mountains, it seems that there are ambushes on all the trails, carrying the injured companion with fear, The Ming army listlessly retreated back the same way.

Liu Yinda also lost his temper after being tossed about. Anyway, you can't kill people with stones, so I will ignore you, okay?Scarai Ridge, which was originally planned to go out in one day, did not go out for three days. On the third day, Liu Yinda simply ordered the Ming army to ignore the small groups of bandits on both sides of the road and stride forward.

Who knew that this time, little radish got a few mountain hornet's nests from nowhere and threw them down. The Ming army almost collapsed after being stung by tens of thousands of angry hornets.

This is the tactic Song Qingshu specified, the mosquito tactic!

An ambush requires a very high level of army organization and command. Now that his opponent is a bandit, he has no confidence that hundreds of old peasants will be able to fight the well-trained Ming army, but the harassment of a small group of troops is different. Little radish and more than 100 people in the four groups are flying around the Ming army like mosquitoes, and they will bite you whenever they get a chance.

A mosquito bag can't kill a person, but worrying about mosquitoes staring at you anytime and anywhere, you can't sleep well during the day and night, no matter how strong you are, you have to weaken, and weaken the Ming army's physical strength, spirit, and fighting will little by little. This is Song Qingshu. Strategic purpose!
Song Qingshu was not idle in the precious time gained by Xiaoluobu and the Ming army for a walk in the mountains.

On the playground, a skinny but bare-armed man swung a heavy machete forward with all his strength, shouting loudly while waving: "Do you still remember those heads that were chopped off by the officers and soldiers?"

"Remember!"

Opposite him, the bandit who stepped forward was also shirtless, waving his weapon fiercely in response.

"Remember those houses that were burned down by officials?"

"Remember!"

"Remember the rice vat that was robbed?"

"Do you still remember the bloody feud in your parents' hometown?"

Every time the thin man yelled, the bandits below echoed, and the murderous intent in that voice became more and more intense. With eunuch Jiao being tortured and tortured, the two spies confessed all his accomplices, and those who joined the bandits would be treated right away. To put it bluntly, Song Qingshu also specially selected some households that had been exterminated, and those who escaped told how cruel the officers and soldiers were, how merciless those who slaughtered villages and villages were, and how miserable the scene of being slaughtered by officials and dogs was. .

The hatred not only aroused the brutality of those bandits who went up the mountain later, but also infected the original bandits on Funiu Mountain. Everyone was afraid of the government before, and now everyone is afraid of the government, afraid that they will kill themselves, their brothers, their father, and their wives. Son, so, if the official dog is coming, he will fight with them!

The psychological advantage of the Ming army is too strong, the morale bonus, coupled with the advantages in equipment and training. In the early years of Chongzhen, it was definitely not a bragging for one Ming army to beat ten peasant troops. It was not until the 14th year of Chongzhen that Li Zicheng broke through After conquering Luoyang and killing King Fu, which shocked the world, this marked a turning point in the battle between the Peasant Army and the Ming Army, and Song Qingshu felt a little relieved to use hatred to arouse the morale of his subordinates.

However, all the men were gathered together for training, and all the work fell on the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled in the cottage. In front of the cottage, thousands of old men and women turned fiercely towards the ground against the bitter cold wind. hoe.

At the bottom of the cottage, the farmland that had been left fallow for a season was already riddled with holes and ravines, and it was very troublesome to dig a hoe into the hard mud. No complaints at all. Hearing what happened in the village at the foot of the mountain makes people shudder. No one wants to watch their son being killed, daughter and daughter-in-law being sold to brothels by the army, but they are oppressed and have no chance of revenge.

In Song Qingshu's era, if you don't work hard, you will have no money. In this era, if you don't work hard, you will die!
Among so many white-haired men, one with swaying black hair was particularly obvious, and Song Qingshu waved a hoe along with him.

Although there are some morale-boosting factors, Song Qingshu, who has the most numbers, is still worried. This is the last battlefield to deal with the officers and soldiers. If there is a slight mistake, let alone those present, he, Caiwei, and Hongniang Xing will also be finished. , wielding a hoe to gouging the eyes himself, while Song Qingshu yelled and directed from time to time.

But at this moment, a burst of snow foam was trampled by the hooves of the horse, and a fiery red elf galloped out on a gray onion horse. Looking back, Song Qingshu's heart tightened suddenly, could something have happened?
"What's the matter?" Before Xing Hongniang walked in, Song Qingshu had already shouted impatiently. It really seemed a little helpless. Scarface said him many times because of this, and he wanted Mount Tai to collapse before him. Changed his color, but Song Qingshu just couldn't change it.

The strange thing is that Xing Hongniang, who is always straight-hearted, twitched this time, reining in the horse with a strange expression and slowly approaching Song Qingshu, getting off the horse in a ladylike manner while he stamped his feet in a hurry, and then replied in a low voice.

"Mr. Li from Longhu Village is here!"

What does he come to do?
Song Qingshu's brows suddenly frowned. Now Funiu Mountain is all set up with his own strategic secrets. Although Mr. Li kowtowed to him in front of Guan Gong in the end, his son Li Xiancheng was exiled after all because of his own hands. Now that life and death are unknown, the old guy only has this one son, he would blame himself if he didn't hate him, Song Qingshu didn't want his secret to be peeped by him.

However, Song Qingshu's worried expression was actually misunderstood by Xing Hongniang, that sporty melon-seeded face instantly turned into a little pepper, with embroidered eyebrows and cold trees, Xing Hongniang's little hand twisted on Song Qingshu's ear like lightning, Then there's the 180-degree turn.

"Okay, it really is your guilty conscience, messing around with women outside, and now people are coming to your door!"

"oops!!!"

…………

Having Mrs. Yazhai is also a sign of the strength of the cottage. If he doesn’t even have a woman to be a bachelor, the owner of the village must have no strength and is a wimp. Therefore, Mrs. Yazhai also has a certain prestige in the cottage, and being taken care of by Hongniang Xing does not hurt Song Qingshu. Coercion, on the contrary, made Song Qingshu, the head of the family, a little more friendly.

Although Song Qingshu himself was reluctant, one ear was red, and Xing Hongniang, who was covering her little buttocks and blushing, went back to the stockade. Looking at the situation in the Juyi hall, Song Qingshu frowned obviously.

Scarface should not be ignorant of his relationship with Longhu Village, but now, Mr. Li and his party have obviously received courtesy. The first-class tea served is served in Song Qingshu's golden chair, and Li Fa, Li Sanpao and others from Longhu Village A few key members also came, and Mrs. Li's only grandson, Li Wenjin, who was said to be ineffective, stared at Caiwei sternly.

These are not surprising, but the strangest thing is that standing in the middle of the hall is this big girl in a red bridal gown and a red hijab. Caiwei is staring at her depressedly, not even paying attention to Li Wenjin's lewd eyes.

In the end, Xing Hongniang didn't make it clear, Song Qingshu was still confused, which song was it sung?Feeling depressed, Song Qingshu swaggered and sat on the golden chair, and then clasped fists at Mr. Li in a grand manner.

"The old birthday boy is getting more and more energetic. This Longhu village is bright. You read thousands of books every day. Why do you have time to come to this brother?" Get dry, get out of here!)
This old man Li looks like a two-faced man today. Hearing Song Qingshu's tone is not very good, but the strong muscles on his old face are smiling like his buttocks, and he also hugged Song Qingshu.

"The big master is ridiculously praised. The old man will go to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing. No, the little granddaughter has left the pavilion this year. She has searched all over the three mountains and five mountains. The old man is the one who catches the eye. I won't send it here. Be a foot-warming girl for the head of the family, and I hope the head of the house will not refuse!"

The girl visibly trembled violently, but Song Qingshu's eyes almost popped out. No wonder Hongniang Xing and Caiwei looked like they were jealous, isn't that ridiculous?

It was so unexpected, half of his tongue was broken all of a sudden, Song Qingshu smiled and wanted to wave his hand, but Scarface laughed and spoke first.

"Hahaha, old hero Li loves you, our Funiu Mountain is really full of splendor! Dragon and phoenix match, cloud and rain, this marriage is really a match made in heaven, I will take our place as the head of the house!"

"Isn't that right, Old Xing Hero?"

Old Man Xing's face was also a little stiff, but he agreed with a smile on his face.

"I have admired the old hero Li for a long time. I think this marriage is good, and the family is right. I also agreed!"

What the hell is this called?You two are a father-in-law and an old uncle. I haven't agreed yet. You two have agreed first. What if it's an ugly monster?Bah, even if he is a great beauty, old man Li's granddaughter is also the daughter of the unlucky ghost that he made out by himself. If you marry her in, you can't make trouble every day?
His face turned green, Song Qingshu opened his mouth and wanted to refute, but at this moment, Scarface laughed again and forced to speak first.

"Then it's settled! I, Lao Xia, will prepare the wedding for the head of the family. The old hero Li takes care of everything every day, so it won't delay your old age. Brother Li Fa is an old acquaintance of the head of the family, and this Mr. Li, the young hero , stay together to be the master of ceremonies, Miss Li is not lonely, what do you think?"

"That's right!" Old man Li laughed like a psychopath and slapped the table violently.

Wait, what's going on?Song Qingshu cried out sadly in his heart...
