114 Go to Mianzhou
"Bang", "Bang", "Bang" and the two met each other and fought three times, because the knife edge and the hammer were wrapped in cloth, and when the weapons collided, they only made dull sounds, but this did not prevent them from arousing the fighting spirit of both sides, and they soon fought together again.
Lu Haoshan recognized that one of these two men was a Qiang Mountain and the other was Sun Xiong, the son of the blacksmith. As Yuan San said, one was flexible in body skills, exquisite in swordsmanship, and the other was born with brute force and infinite strength. For some reason, the two were not from the same team. For some reason, they suddenly started to compete. It seemed that they were standing up for their companions, and they were really nonsense. However, Lu Haoshan did not stop, but looked at it with interest. He wanted to see how many "seedlings" in Yuan San's mouth were.
Dashan obviously learned sword skills. A long sword could fly up and down in his hand. Not only was the skill of sword skills, but he was also flexible in his footwork. He jumped up and down, forcing Sun Xiong to only have the ability to resist and not have the power to fight back. It can be seen that Sun Xiong, nicknamed Dajiang, just relied on his strong body to fight against Dashan. Although he was bulky, he had quick reactions and great strength. In ancient times, he had a strong force to break ten times with one force, and a big hammer made him dance to the wind. Although Dashan had superb sword skills, he was just to avoid direct collisions between weapons. He was at a disadvantage in the head-on confrontation.
The two of them fought for a while, because of excessive physical exhaustion, their movements slowed down. When they got closer, they heard the heavy breathing of the two. Suddenly, Dashan found a flaw in front of Sun Xiong. He was happy and swung the knife directly into Sun Xiong's face. Sun Xiong was shocked and quickly crossed the hammer handle and almost blocked the knife in front of him. The long sword wrapped in blade "punched" on the hammer handle made of iron. Due to the excessive force, the cloth on the blade broke. Just as everyone was happy that Sun Xiong blocked the killing attack in time, a sneer appeared on the corner of Dashan's mouth. Sun Xiong could block the knife. As expected, just as Sun Xiong was busy blocking, a flaw appeared in his abdomen. Dashan would not miss this opportunity and kicked Sun Xiong hard on the belly.
The kick was so strong that it was kicking again. If it were an ordinary person, it would have costed almost half of his life, but Sun Xiong's face changed and suddenly became furious. He roared "Ah" and used his body as a flesh shield and rushed forward, knocking the thin mountain away.
"Looking for death." Dashan, who was knocked away, suffered a secret loss, and was so embarrassed that he was about to rush forward with a knife. Sun Xiong was kicked in front of everyone, feeling a big loss of face. When the foot was put on a little more, his descendants would suffer. His eyes were a little red. He flapped the hammer in his hand and was about to rush forward and hit him again. Just when the two of them were red-eyed and wanted to have a big fight, Lu Haoshan, who was beside him, finally spoke and shouted: "Enough, stop."
Dashan and Sun Xiong were surprised, turned their heads and saw that it was Lu Haoshan. They quickly put down the weapon in their hands, saluted respectfully and said, "Captain."
"You are not from the same team, why did you fight?" Lu Haoshan asked with a serious look on his face.
"That. That's to help the brothers in the team vent their anger." Sun Xiong said with a little embarrassed look on his scalp.
Dashan also hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, captain, we just cut it in a bit, there is no other meaning."
"Take a little bit?" Lu Haoshan pointed to Dashan's long sword and said, "Your long sword has already exposed the blade, and Sun Xiong's eyes are red. Is this called a trial?"
Dashan turned his head and saw that after the fight just now, the cloth was broken and taken off, and the sharp blades were revealed. Not only did Sun Xiong's jealousy turn red, but he also lost his composure just now. If the captain had not stopped drinking, he could not say that something really happened, so he could not help but lower his head in shame. Sun Xiong's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly begged for mercy: "Captain, I won't dare anymore, I won't dare anymore."
For the picket team, the happiest thing is to get the recognition of the captain, and the thing that is most afraid of is to hear the captain say that he wants to be fired from the picket team. For Sun Xiong, the place is much better than home. The blacksmith shop has no business, and it is not enough to work hard. He drinks wild vegetable porridge every day. He used to eating rice and meat, and then eating those wild vegetable porridge that is difficult to swallow. For him, it is even more uncomfortable than death. There are still two taels of silver here a month. If he is fired, his father will probably discount his legs.
Seeing the two of them looking nervous, Lu Haoshan didn't understand what they were thinking, and said angrily: "Okay, it's not that we are not allowed to cut the gap. Our patrol team encourages cutting the gap and pay attention to the right position. In the future, the instructor must be present. We will all disperse. We will soon have a task. We will suspend all competitions and challenges in the past few days."
Everyone said yes and then dispersed as they said.
"Old Master Zhao, these picket members are useless. You must not take it to your heart when you laugh." After the picket members dispersed, Lu Haoshan said to Zhao Yuqing who was thinking about it.
Zhao Yuqing hurriedly said, "No, no, although these team members are young, they have a strong sense of aura. Their performance has far exceeded Zhao's imagination. It's good, very good."
After saying that, Zhao Yuqing added with some remarks: "It is said to be a picketer, but in fact, the intensity of this training is also the quality of the picketers. Not to mention the so-called garrison stations, even regular soldiers will not give in too much. Sir, this trick is so clever."
At this time, Yuan San, who received the news, came with his guards. When he saw Lu Haoshan, he immediately bowed and said, "Goodbye to you."
As long as they were in the military camp, Yuan San was very conscious of being in opposition to superiors and subordinates. Only when there was no one, the two were called brothers.
"Instructor Yuan, please come up, brothers."
Next, Lu Haoshan introduced Zhao Yuqing to Yuan San and the others. After giving a salute, the group found a secluded place to discuss the deployment of the guard...
The eighth day of June is an ordinary day for many people. Those who should work still have to work, and those who should go hungry still have to go hungry, but for Lu Haoshan it is a day worth remembering. As soon as the sky was dawn, Lu Haoshan personally led a picket team and began to march towards Mianzhou.
After discussion, Lu Haoshan set off with 200 picket members, and twelve private guards, including Yuan San, also set off with the team. After receiving Lu Haoshan's monthly money, they naturally had to protect his vigor. The remaining eighty picket members were left. Except for more than 20 who were accidentally injured during practice or competition, the rest were left to visit their homes. After all, the camp needs someone to take care of, and the injured brothers need someone to take care of. In addition, it also leaves a force for Liu Jinzhu. If there is anything to call, Jiangyou is a blessed place for Lu Haoshan to make his life safe and the only "base". No accidents are allowed. Of course, the Zhao clan with cooperative relationships will also provide information and assist.
There were more than 200 people on Lu Haoshan's side, and the Zhao clan also valued this transaction very much. Zhao Yuqing re-entered the world and led the team to set off. In addition to the children of the eight clans, there were also a team of ten private guards, 35 grooms and ten logistics personnel. Not to mention the people sent by the Zhao clan to arrange for supply supply, the entire team had about 300 people.
This is not big, but it is not small. In order not to attract attention, Lu Haoshan accepted Zhao Yuqing's proposal and rushed to Mianzhou in batches. He gathered in Mianzhou, with some riding horses and some riding cars. Lu Haoshan took Zhao Yuqing on a big boat and took a boat down the Peijiang River.
Sichuan is known as the country of Tianfu. It was much lighter in early love than Shaanxi. Perhaps because it was close to the water source, the scenery along the Pei River was good, with lush trees, green rice seedlings and blooming flowers. Sitting on the boat and going down the river, it seemed to give people the most wonderful picture in the world, giving people the feeling of three steps, one small change, one big change in ten steps. At this time, the sky was as clear as cloudless, and even the air was much fresher than in the county government.
Looking at the picturesque scenery, listening to the beautiful singing of birds and the rustling sound of the breeze blowing through the willow branches, breathing in the fresh and natural air, the mood seems to have a feeling of letting go. This is the so-called pleasant scenery. Lu Haoshan, sitting at the bow of the boat, felt like he was about to be intoxicated.
"Sir, I'm so happy." At some point, Zhao Yuqing came to Lu Haoshan with a pot of tea, and smiled while helping Lu Haoshan add tea, "Sir, try this pot of newly brewed Wuyi Mountain Dahongpao. This is a rare treasure. Even Zhao can save you drink it."
Dahongpao? This is a good tea. Lu Haoshan smiled and said, "Old Master Zhao really knows how to enjoy it. This Dahongpao is a tribute and is difficult for ordinary people to get it."
"This is given by an old friend. I have made several friends when I traveled around the world. They know that I like to drink tea, so I send it a little every year. This time we exchange tea for horses, we still have to prepare some excellent tea. The Western Fans, when they hear that this tea was drunk by the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, they are so happy that they are all very easy, and negotiations have become much easier." Zhao Yuqing said with a smile.
"Old Master Zhao is so thoughtful to do things." Lu Haoshan picked up the teacup and asked casually: "Mobs in Shaanxi are everywhere. I heard that the trouble is very serious. The court has sent a large army to suppress it. Besides, the escape from famine is a breeze, nine out of ten rooms are empty and the tea garden is unattended. Old Master Zhao can still receive enough tea under such circumstances. This ability is quite good. Now the tea production reduction is a foregone conclusion. Do you think the price of this tea will be high?"
Looking at the Ming Dynasty, the drought in Shaanxi is undoubtedly the most serious. In some places, there is no rain all year round. It can be said that the land is not collected. I don’t know whether it is because the war in Liaodong is too short of silver or Chongzhen is too cautious about the money and refuses to exempt taxes. It is collected as usual. Some ordinary people really can’t afford it and can only escape. If people flee, what should they do if they can’t find someone to collect taxes? The government of the Ming Dynasty is really weird. As the saying goes, people will not be bad for their debts. It is better. People will collect taxes. It turns out that the Ming Dynasty compiled household registration and implemented the Lijia system, which was compiled for every 110 households.
It is 1 li, and the 10 households with the largest amount of Ding grain serve as the village chief, and the remaining 100 households are called A head, which is in unit of ten households, which means that one of the ten households has run away, so the taxes of this household are distributed to the nine households that have not run away. If nine households run away and only one household is left, I’m sorry, you will bear the taxes of the nine households. If all ten households run away, then the taxes will be distributed to other households in the same household. In this way, if one runs away, it is possible that all of them will run away. How can nine out of ten households be empty?
Those farmers who left the land either fled everywhere or forced to go to Liangshan to occupy the mountains and become bandits, or joined the peasant uprising army. Anyway, they did everything for the sake of eating, and I don’t know which official came up with this idea. It would be difficult for the Ming Dynasty to not perish.
