Chapter 83: Village practice

After the arrow was released, Hong Yun'er bit her silver teeth and ordered everyone to go southeast and head straight to Chating Town. Before coming, Xiao Yungui ordered Li Yiwen to lead 800 troops to go out to Xiangyin to intimidate the Qing army and the local regiment training in the north. After Li Yiwen led his troops across the Liuyang River, he stopped at the Chating Shop and made an appointment with Hong Yun'er that if there was any change, the two armies met at the Chating Shop.

Shortly after everyone set off, they saw the thick smoke in the distance from Shapo Ridge and the fire rose into the sky. Hong Yuner was shocked and said, "What's wrong there?"

Yao Yuan's heart burst and shook his head in a daze and said, "I don't know, maybe Brother Li and the others set fire to block the enemy. Xi Wang Niang, let's go quickly. As long as we retreat safely, Brother Li and Aunt Hu and others can break out."

Hong Yuner's heart was very heavy. She began to feel deeply guilty, just because she spoke quickly for a moment, which made people see the flaws and put everyone in danger. Now, many people are still fighting with the Qing army in order to protect her, but they can't do anything, so they can only use oil to the bottom of their feet. When they think of this, her throat feels like it's blocked, and it's extremely uncomfortable to go up and down.

No one spoke along the way, and the atmosphere was very heavy. Zhou Yiduan sat on the ox cart with his two children and looked back at Liuzhuang blankly. He didn't know when he would return to Liuzhuang this time. The adults were thinking about their own thoughts, and the two children fell asleep in Zhou Yiduan's arms with the ox cart bumping, without any sense of sorrow and sadness.

After a few miles of travel, a village appeared in front of me. From a distance, I saw several farmers in the fields outside the village throwing their crops and tools and running towards the village, shaking the red flag in their hands while running.

Everyone was stunned. Why did these farmers and men work with red flags? Before everyone could figure it out, several broken gongs in the village rang, and the whole village could hear them. The gong-beating person shouted, "The red scarf thief is here! The red scarf thief is here! Every household is going to be on the wall to be prepared!"

Hong Yuner frowned slightly and looked at the team behind her. It turned out that Yao Yuan and others came from Shapo Ridge, and their outfits were not changed, and the red scarf on their heads was very eye-catching.

"Xiwang Niang, it seems that this village has a group training for the family preparatory of wealthy families!" Yao Yuan said anxiously: "Let's take a detour."

There were only more than 30 people with Zhou Yiduan's entourage. If there were a large number of local team training in the village, it would be really dangerous. Hong Yuner pulled out the musket from her waist and shouted sternly: "Everyone prepares the weapons! If there are bird guns, the muskets should come forward to prepare. If they dare to come out, use firearms to fight first!"

Zhou Yiduan on the ox cart hurriedly said, "Princess Xi, this is Tianjing Village. Most of the land in the village is owned by Huang Mian, a wealthy man from Changsha. My master and Huang Mian have also met several times. If you ask them to tear off the red scarf first, I will talk about it. There should be no need to use any weapons."

Hong Yuner frowned and said, "Huang Mian? Who is he?" This name sounds familiar, but Hong Yuner didn't remember it either. It is important to know that there are so many historical figures that it is impossible to record them all unless they are very famous figures.

Zhou Yiduan jumped off the ox carriage: "This Huang Mian, whose name is Fuzhou and whose name is Nanpo, is a native of Changsha, Hunan. In his early years, he became the governor of Suzhou Prefecture. When the barbarians invaded the seas and border troops, they went to Zhejiang with the Governor Yuqian. Yuqian died. This person was implicated and sent to Yili to go back to Xinjiang to discuss the development of military farmland with Lin Zexu. Later, Huang Mian was pardoned by the court for his contribution to water conservancy and was awarded the sixth rank. After Huang Mian returned to his hometown, he only asked about official affairs and devoted himself to business. He opened the Yongtai Jinzhan in the Bajiao Pavilion in Changsha. It is said that Huang Mian was not very honest as an official and had hundreds of thousands of savings in his family. With this financial resources, the Yongtai Jinzhan became one of the few rich households in Changsha City. Later, land was widely purchased in various places, and the most of the land in this village in the county were all from the Huang family."

Hong Yuner was very surprised. Since this person was a wealthy family in Changsha, why was he not among the wealthy families extorted by Xiao Yungui? It turned out that Huang Mian's family was rich. Every summer solstice, he would move his family to Dongcheng Town in Xiangyin to temporarily live in the summer, and supervise the autumn grains to be stored in the warehouse. This time, when he heard that Changmao had invaded Hunan, Huang Mian was cunning and knew that the provincial capital might not be safe. So he lived in the countryside early and spent money to run the village group to protect himself, so he was not in Changsha City. But Huang Mian did not expect Changmao to come so quickly, and many of his property was still lost in Changsha and could not move out. The property of the Yongtai Jin in Changsha City had not been discovered by Xiao Yungui.

"I'm afraid these rural peasants will not listen to you." Hong Yuner poured the red medicine into the barrel of the gun, and frowned and continued: "We don't go into the village, we just walk around. If they dare to chase after them, we will drive them away with firearms. These rural peasants will not dare to chase after them."

Zhou Yiduan said with a nod, "That's good. I only know Mr. Huang from the Huang family. If he didn't have it, it would be hard to tell."

At that moment, everyone raised their weapons and firearms, protected Zhou Yiduan and his son's ox cart, and slowly took a detour.

This Tianjing Village is indeed a regiment training run by Huang Mian. Most of them are composed of farmers and Han people in Tianjing Village. However, more than ten people are the guards recruited by Huang Mian. The leader was named Wang Linyu, whose courtesy name is Guanghua, an native of Huaibei, Anhui. He was a general in the green camp in his early years. When the British invaded, the soldiers of Huaibei were transferred to Zhejiang for assistance, Wang Linyu was under Huang Mian's command. The Qing army was defeated in Zhenhai, and Wang Linyu became a deserter and did not dare to go back to the military camp, so he had to change his name and stay together in the martial arts world. Later, when he heard that Huang Mian returned to his hometown, Wang Linyu came to join him. Huang Mian considered his former friendship and arranged for him to be his own guards.

Since Changmao, Guangxi invaded Hunan, Huang Mian knew that he was a wealthy family and had been an official in the Qing court, so he had the idea of ​​organizing a group training. When the assistant minister Luo Luodian came to Changsha, the Qing court ordered Luo Luodian to organize a group training and appeasement place. Huang Mian summoned tenant farmers in his own land and helped to organize a group training. Wang Linyu was born in the army and used excellent Bajiquan and Baji sword techniques, so Huang Mian asked him to be the leader of the group training in several villages.

A few days ago, more than a thousand long soldiers passed by the official road of the Tea Pavilion. Wang Linyu guarded his own door and dared not go to the tiger's beard. This afternoon, he suddenly saw more than 30 people coming to Tianjing Village. There were already tenants watching the road. He said that there were a group of people, and there were a few red turbans inside.

Wang Linyu felt nervous and didn't know how many long-haired red scarf thieves were near him. He bravely climbed up the wooden ladder and lay on the earthen wall at the entrance of the village to watch.

A small leader of a group trainer blinked his triangle and looked at it, touched his chin and smiled bitterly, "Tao Wang, it seems that he is a family of a thief. There are many women, so why don't we brothers go out and catch them all. The man reports to the official to reward him, how about the woman enjoying it himself?"

Another leader with a stingy look smiled with bad intentions, "Yes, Wang Boer, you see, they are driving three ox carts, with a lot of luggage on the cart. Maybe there are gold, silver, money and grain snatched by the thief, so how good it will be for us brothers to share it."

Wang Linyu was angry. The guards he found were all scumbags who were stumbling around the world. He often bullies men and women on weekdays. He has been very concerned about discipline, but he can't teach them well. He was angry and scolded: "How vicious are the long-haired thieves? Don't look at them with few people. You bastards are not worthy of carrying shoes for others. You still want to catch the thief and ask for rewards? Damn you don't urinate and take a photo!"

A slander curse several leaders and bloody heads. Several leaders stepped down from the earth wall in a bad mood and stood aside to discuss. These people are used to doing things like stealing rats in the world. They are ordinary when they see money and are not ordinary. No one has ever seen the power of the hairy thief. Although the rumors are said to be powerful, no one believes it. After the five people discussed, they each brought twenty strong men with a variety of farm tools, opened the fence at the entrance of the village and rushed out fiercely.

There are not many household registrations in Tianjing Village, and there are only more than 80 strong men. But today he brought a hundred people from each village to inspect each village. They happened to be in the village. The strong men from each family heard the sound of gongs and were waiting under the wall. Wang Linyu was still lying on the low wall, and suddenly heard the shouts. A few leaders took the ten thousand men out of the village. He was anxious and angry, and he came down the low wall. Everyone had already rushed out of the village and could not stop him.

Wang Linyu cursed, pulling out his knife and killing the rest of the people, he could not leave the village again, otherwise the remaining tenant farmers in the village would be ready to move.

After just finished scolding, he heard more than a dozen bird guns and guns outside the village. Wang Linyu hurriedly climbed up the wall and looked around. He saw smoke everywhere on the side of the long hair. Among the more than thirty people, there were more than ten bird guns, muskets, and several leaders rushed out with them. He was beaten by two rounds of bird guns and muskets. He threw down more than ten strong men and fell into a pool of blood. The rest flew back in a swarm. The strong men who fell to the ground screamed terriblely on the ground. The sound was extremely tragic and shocked the whole field.

A group of rural group training teams had never seen such a scene. After retreating to the entrance of the village, they kept trembling. Several leaders licked their lips and scolded angrily: "I didn't expect that when I encountered a tough hand, I could shoot several women." "It's so fucking bad luck. I even thought that I met a soft persimmon, but I didn't expect to be so thrust."

While speaking, a man came out of Changmao shouted loudly: "I heard that the villagers have passed by, and my holy soldiers have not violated them. If you dare to act rashly, the army will be severely punished! Come here and carry your injured people back!" After that, the group of Changmao continued to detour and ignored the congregation training.

After Changmao had gone far, the group trained to come forward to lift people.

Just as they were carrying people with all their hands and feet, dozens of Qing soldiers rushed over from the way of Changmao. When they approached, everyone was shocked. These Qing soldiers had tattooed faces and had rings hanging on their ears, looking very ferocious.

A Qiang General of the Qing army shouted sternly: "Who are you?"

Seeing that the hairy retreated, Wang Linyu had already left the entrance of the village. He immediately stepped forward and replied, "This Mr. Qian, we are all team members from Tianjing Village. The hairy crossed the border just now, which hurt many of us."

Mr. Qian nodded, waved his sword in his hand and shouted, "Take your men and horses and chase me, take the thief, and reward me according to merit!"

The group cheered together, with the support of the government troops, these people were eager to try and brave, and they only planned to get a few rewards. As for those thieves, no one would care about their lives and death. Who told them to be thieves?
