Fan Wulang rolled and crawled!

Run away from the noses of more than a thousand Liangshan heroes!

After all, this place is the territory of the Fan family. Fan Wulang played in this area when he was wearing open-crotch pants, and he was very familiar with the terrain. Moreover, he reacted quickly enough. When he saw something wrong, he ignored Fan Jiu Xiucai and threw his sword directly into the wheat field more than half a person tall on the roadside. He hugged and ran wildly, and soon disappeared into the night.

The Liangshan bandits didn't care whether he was a little shrimp fleeing in panic... What's there to care about? Isn't it just running back to Yanggu County to bring reinforcements?

The question is whether there are rescuers in Yanggu County? Although Yanggu County is close to Liangshanpo, because it is the base camp of the Ximen family, there is not much oil and water. The problem is that Liangshan cannot afford to offend it. Otherwise, the "Overseas Chinese traveling to Liao and Song Dynasties" of the Ximen family would have taught Liangshan how to be a thief. So for so many years, Yanggu County has been a mediocre wife, so there is only the county magistrate and there is no inspection department.

The county magistrate was the yamen under Zhang Kegong's jurisdiction. There were 180 archers, which were equivalent to the police stations in later generations. Those archers were policemen. The counties of the Song Dynasty, regardless of their size, had at least one county magistrate.

The Inspection Department is a military department, with envoys serving as the chief, and is in charge of the township soldiers and local soldiers, which is considered to be relatively combat-effective. Unlike the county lieutenant department that each county has, the Inspection Department does not have it in every county. In many places, there are several counties in which a Inspection Department has a Inspection Department.

In Yunzhou, there is a inspection department with Yanggu County and Shouzhang County, a inspection department with Xucheng County and Zhongdu County, and a inspection department with Dong'a County and Pingyin County.

Therefore, there are only three inspection departments in the entire Yunzhou. Each inspection department has one or two hundred village soldiers, and its combat effectiveness is much stronger than that of the county lieutenant department with only archers.

However, even if the village soldiers were moved from the inspection department of Shouzhang and Xucheng, they would definitely not be able to defeat 1,000 Liangshan heroes.

In addition to the archers and rural soldiers, there were two other forces in the Song Dynasty, one was the imperial guards and the xiang army stationed in the local area. On Jingdong East Road, the number of imperial guards was not large, and they were not in general imperial guards and had no combat power. Of course, the situation of the xiang soldiers was even worse, and they basically did not fight. In Yunzhou, a very small number of imperial guards and xiang army were all in Xucheng, and they were all under the command of the military commanders of Yunzhou, and of course they had no combat power.

Another force is Baoding established in accordance with the Baojia Law. This force is in the hands of local powerful people! The strength often depends on whether the powerful people who control them are willing to invest.

In Yunzhou, the most powerful Baoding is in Yanggu County, which is Baoding from Ximenzhuang, outside Yanggu County. It is the force controlled by the Ximen family!

Ximenzhuang is just west of Yanggu County. In the early years, it was the ancestral home of the Ximen family. The Ximen family was also the structure of Yimen in the early years of the Song Dynasty. They lived together and gathered together to keep warm. At that time, everyone lived in Ximenzhuang.

However, now, the Ximen family has long been no longer Yimen. Most of their children live in various places, and even their families living in Yanggu County live in the county town. However, Ximen Village outside the city was not abandoned, but became the location of Ximen Family School. The land of Ximen Family in Yanggu is also the school of Ximen Family School. The Ximen Family’s children do not plant it, but only collect rent and supply the private school.

Unlike the Fan family's private school, the Ximen Family School also followed the path of his ancestors' emphasis on martial arts and over literature (the children of the Ximen family made money by smuggling, and they were not able to use moral articles, and they were more reliable in fighting skills). The professors did not have many meanings of poetry and essays, mainly martial arts.

The jurisdiction of Ximen Family School (including Xuetian and Ximenzhuang) belongs to the patriarch of the Ximen family, namely Ximen Qing's grandfather.

Similarly, the Dubaozheng of Ximenzhuang is also the head of the Ximen family. The person who sits in this position is Ximen Qing’s grandfather Ximen He.

Only if Ximen He or Ximen He designated an agent, Ximen Zhuang Baoding, with a number of up to 500, would he be dispatched. Without Ximen He or his agent's order, even Yanggu County Magistrate could not transfer Baoding from Ximen Zhuang.

Using literature to control martial arts and other things is useless in Ximenzhuang!

The reason is simple, because the core of Baoding in Ximen Village is the children of the Ximen family, with about twenty or thirty people, all of whom are good at fighting. At the same time, they are also teachers and teachers of Ximen Family School. The rest of Baoding are the children of the Ximen Family. The Ximen Family will exempt their family from rent. If they die in battle, they will still support their family. This is the rule of the Yanyun family raising private soldiers, and they are all moved to Yanggu County by the Ximen Family. The Ximen Family has also firmly controlled these 500 Baodings, making them the foundation for the Ximen Family to gain a foothold in Yunzhou. If the Ximen Family really wants to be ruthless, all these 500 people can seize Xucheng, Yunzhou Prefecture!

Of course, the private soldiers of the Ximen family are still incomparable to the private soldiers of the Yanyun family, mainly because the equipment is too poor. The Yanyun family is a route of the manor economy, and can be self-sufficient, have workshops for building weapons and armor, and have ways to get the iron materials of Longyan Iron Mountain, cowhide and other things.

Therefore, the private warriors of the Yanyun family always had a armored ratio of 20% to 30%. The Baoding of the Ximen family had no armor, and there was no one on the surface of the paper armor (in fact, there were quite a lot of paper armor).

In addition, the Ximen family’s Baoding also did not have the ability to fight against cavalry and break heavy armor. Because military spears and crossbows are prohibited from being hidden privately by the people, and the Ximen family’s Baoding also did not have the need for anti-cavalry and break armor, and they did not intend to rebel, and the bandits on the Jingdong East Road may also have a large amount of armor and war horses.

Therefore, the weapons equipped by the Ximen family are swords, shields and bows and arrows, and the specific types of troops are swords, shields, archers and archers, as well as a small number of light cavalry (cavalry generals).

Such combat power will naturally be fought when encountering armored soldiers and cavalry, but it would be enough to deal with bandits like Liangshan.

Therefore, after learning that the Liangshan bandits sent troops to attack Fanjiazhuang, Yanggu County Magistrate Zhang Kegong immediately took the people to recruit the Ximen family to the county government to discuss the dispatch of troops, and then hurried to find Shida County Magistrate to discuss.

"What? The Liangshan bandits went down the mountain? How many are there? Is there no problem with the county town?"

As soon as County Magistrate Shi Da heard that there were bandits in Liangshan, he immediately jumped up and was anxious in the yamen.

No matter how nerdy he was, he knew how empty the defense of Yanggu County was. The government's troops were those archers under Zhang Kegong. If Liangshan came, he would definitely be able to break the city. At that time, he, the magistrate, would have to be loyal to the government!

But he hasn't lived enough and his son hasn't even been born. How could he die?

"It's okay to have a county town," Zhang Kegong said, "the officials have sent someone to the Ximen family."

"What are you sending someone to the Ximen family?"

"I will ask the head of the Ximen family to discuss the matter of sending troops to fight against the thieves."

"There are soldiers in the Ximen family?"

"The Ximen family has 500 Baodings and 20 or 30 good players, so they can fight Liangshan."

"Yes, yes, yes," Shi Da Magistrate pressed his forehead, "I almost forgot that the Dubao in Ximenzhuang is Ximen He..."

Before the magistrate could finish his words, a clerk under Zhang Kegong got in and crawled in.

"County lieutenant, county lieutenant, it's not good!"

Not good?

Could it be that Liangshan is calling!?

Both Shi Magistrate Shi and Zhang Kegong took a breath. Zhang Kegong asked, "What happened? Did the Liangshan bandits come outside the county?"

"No, it's Ximen He from the Ximen family that is not in Yanggu County."

It turned out that this was the case. The Ximen family was a businessman. The patriarch Ximen He had a lot of business outside, so it was not surprising that he often went out.

"Who is the head of the Ximen family?" Zhang Kegong asked.

"It's the young master...Ximen Qing."

Ximen Qing is still the young master now!

Because Ximen He has not decided who to accept as his adopted son, the young master's position is still Ximen Qing. Now that Ximen He is not here, the head of the Ximen family is naturally Ximen Qing.

Zhang Kegong already knew something was wrong!

The charge of Fan Zhijin's lawsuit against Wu Chengzhi is related to Ximen Qing... That's what Ximen Qing and her father-in-law Wu Chengzhi took off! Can that woman from Ximen Qing swallow this anger? Moreover, County Magistrate Shi also asked Wu Chengzhi to compensate Fan Zhijin for 5,000 yuan, which is not equivalent to taking Ximen Qing's money?

"She refuses to come?" Zhang Kegong asked tentatively.

The clerk said in a sad way: "She...she can't think about it anymore."

Zhang Kegong was stunned, "Can't think it's okay?"

"She wants to find a short-term view!"

"What?" Before Zhang Kegong was doing well, Shi Zhixian jumped up, "She, she, is she going to find a short-sighted view?"

"yes!"

Zhang Kegong asked: "What's going on?"

"The people from the Ximen family said that Sister Ximen was a chaste and fierce woman and was wronged by the Fan family, so she was extremely sad and angry and decided to start a hunger strike from noon today!"

Start at noon?

Mr. Zhang looked at the sky outside. It was early morning! In other words, it was almost two hours before he started to hunger. I don’t know if he started to hunger after lunch or if he didn’t eat dinner? When Mr. Zhang was thinking about the issue of hunger strike, he saw the magistrate Shi Guozhong lifting his official robe and walking out.

"County magistrate, where are you going?" Zhang Kegong hurriedly chased after him and asked, "The Liangshan bandits have not yet been called?"

Yes, I didn’t call me, there was no need to run away, right?

Shi Guozhong ran and said, "I want to persuade Sister Ximen to have dinner... If such a virtuous woman starved to death, wouldn't it bring shame to the elders of Yanggu County?"

"ah……"

Zhang Kegong was stunned again and again. Why is Ximen Qing a virtuous woman? Even if she didn't seduce Wu Dalang, she wouldn't be able to escape the traitor! If she was considered chaste, the prostitutes in Jiufang Pavilion could be considered chaste.

County Magistrate Shi said seriously: "I will also tell Sister Ximen that in order to commend her chastity, the elders of Yanggu County are preparing to raise funds to give her a chastity archway!"

Chastity archway?
