The ancestor of the apocalypse is so cool after being reborn!
Chapter 229 Acting
Two days later, news came from outside the city that another 500-member rebel army had returned to grab food.
This time it was a soldier under Sima Yi's command who discovered the rebels. If Xia Jing could recognize it here, the leader of this team was Zhu Wei, a mountain bandit who had turned from the dark to the bright.
A few days ago, Ding Dazhuang captured a general of the rebel army alive. His brothers were envied by everyone. They had joined the Lingnan team for half a year and had no chance to make any contribution.
Now that they managed to defend a small unit of the rebels, they had to take them all down. It would be even more perfect if there was a small leader in this team.
"Brother, the rebels are almost entering our encirclement!" Qiu San, who was squatting beside him, reminded.
Zhu Wei watched the situation below, and said in a low voice: "Wait a little longer, wait until their heads and tails have entered the encirclement before giving the order!"
Zhu Wei didn't order to charge until he saw that the rebels had basically entered the encirclement.
After receiving the order, the soldiers jumped out of their hiding places and rushed forward.
"Come on!"
"Kill!"
The shouts are loud and powerful!
The rebels were panting while carrying or pushing food on their backs. Suddenly, they were startled by shouts of killing coming from all directions.
Looking at the court soldiers and horses rushing down from all sides, no matter whether they were fearful of war or militants, this time they all put down their food and drew out their weapons to break out of the siege.
This kind of situation can't be described as they think too much, they can only fight to the death and try their best to break through.
The only thing that broke them down a bit was the battle between the two armies. They finally seized the opportunity to slash the enemy. Why did they still hear the sound of "clang"?
But the enemy was not injured at all, and he became more and more courageous as he fought.
This is to fight for life, and the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road, but this is too bullying.
It’s really amazing to have a good armor. I looked for an opportunity to change a part and slashed, but the result was a "clang" sound again. This time I was not as lucky as the last time, and my body was also pierced by the enemy!
The moment the rebels fell, they were unwilling to die, and lost to the ordnance.
The same situation played out everywhere on the battlefield. After the court soldiers and horses discovered this advantage, they became more courageous and their morale was high.
Qiu San pierced a rebel's body, and when he saw him, he poured it on the food bag, "I'll go, you want to waste food until you die!"
Qiu San kicked over anxiously, and kicked the corpse of the rebel soldier aside.
I thought it was okay, if it was poured on the grain sack, the grain would be contaminated by his blood.
The rebel, who was kicked aside, raised his finger and wanted to swear at him, but blood gushed out of his mouth, making him unable to swear even if he wanted to. He was so mad, wouldn't it be good to let him pour it on the food before he died? ?If you die, you can bring some food down to eat.
Qiu San looked at the rebels who didn't know whether they were killed by him or died of anger. He glanced at the battlefield and moved to Zhu Wei's side.
"Big brother, big brother!"
Zhu Wei glanced at him, hacked and killed a rebel who was approaching, and said, "If you don't kill the enemy bravely, what are you doing in front of me?"
Qiu San paid attention to the movements around him, prepared for enemy attacks, and reminded: "Brother, there are not many rebels left, you forgot what your mother told you, we should release the water!"
"This..." Zhu Wei thinks it's too fast, so it's enough to leave a few people behind to report the news, and he's a bit reluctant to leave too many.
But no matter how reluctant he was, he still had to obey the Queen's orders.
"Blow the horn!"
"okay!"
Qiu San took out the whistle he had prepared earlier from his skirt, put it in his mouth and blew it out.
At this time, the soldiers who heard the whistle surrounded the remaining or so rebels.
"Disarm and don't kill!"
"Disarm and don't kill!"
The remaining more than 100 rebels had already been tortured to the point of timidity. Hearing their shouts, they threw their weapons aside and squatted down without thinking too much.
Zhu Wei stepped forward, scanned the rebels squatting on the ground, and raised his hand to stop the soldiers from shouting any more.
"Do you know why the court soldiers and horses beat you back and forth?"
The rebels all shrunk, it was difficult to answer this question, they all lowered their heads and wanted to be quails.
Seeing their cowardice, Qiu San dissatisfiedly stepped forward and kicked a rebel with a different uniform. The military robe looked like the little leader of the team, "It's you. I didn't hear our general's question, so answer the question seriously!"
Chi Zhongjun was tall and burly, and was kicked by a little bum, his heart welled up with anger, and he gave him a look, if he didn't see that he was a soldier of the imperial court, he really wanted to step up and punch him.
Qiu San was stared at by the prisoner, feeling ashamed, rolled up his sleeves and said: "You are not convinced, you dare to stare at me, today I will beat you until you are convinced!"
It's just that before he rushed forward, someone picked up his collar.
Zhu Wei carried Qiu San behind him, and warned: "Go aside!"
Qiu San glanced at Zhu Wei aggrievedly: "Brother."
Zhu Wei ignored him, but pointed to Chi Zhongjun and said, "You come and answer my question just now."
Chi Zhongjun was called, so he stopped squatting for a while, stood up directly, and looked at Zhu Wei at the same level: "Look at your shirt, you should be a guerrilla general, and I happen to be a guerrilla general. At this moment, you and I belong to an equal dialogue."
Zhu Wei didn't care about equality and inequality, he just waited for his answer.
Chi Zhongjun could see what he meant, and he didn't feel shy, and replied, "I don't know what kind of answer you want to hear about your question just now. I don't know if it's the right answer or not?"
Zhu Wei smiled after hearing this, "Your surname, can you give me your name?"
Chi Zhongjun clasped his fists and said: "If you don't change your surname when you are going, if you don't change your name when you sit down, that's true for Chi Zhongjun!"
Zhu Wei nodded: "The name is good, but you are in the wrong position." You became a rebel.
As he spoke, he pointed to the soldiers surrounding them, and asked, "How does General Chi think our soldiers are physically fit?"
Chi Zhongjun looked around and nodded: "He has a strong physique, and he has a spirit of energy when he stands up. He is an elite teacher!"
Zhu Wei laughed out loud after hearing this: "General Chi's eyes are vicious!"
"The problem just now is that evil is invincible. It is more because our court soldiers and horses can now rely on the strength of armor, the sharpness of knives and guns, and the speed of muskets. They are almost invincible and invincible!"
These are what Chi Zhongjun was curious about, so he asked: "Are all the soldiers and horses of the imperial court equipped with such equipment now?"
Zhu Wei looked at him with a half-smile: "What? Want to spy on the military?"
Chi Zhongjun: ".Do you like to talk or not!"
This remark amused Zhu Wei again: "In addition to excellent military equipment, the imperial court soldiers and horses now have sufficient military pay and food. If they are disabled or die in battle, the imperial court will also pay compensation. It can be said that our soldiers have no worries. You said that under such a preferential treatment policy, if the soldiers fight on the battlefield, who can stop them?"
Zhu Wei's voice was so loud that the rebels who were squatting on the ground could hear them clearly. They looked around in shock at the soldiers guarding them. They were indeed incomparable in physique. Could it be that the imperial court's current policy is really so good?
Qiu San noticed their expressions and rolled up his sleeves to show off his biceps.
Zhu Wei took these into his eyes, and coughed lightly twice: "Ahem, it seems that you don't look like treacherous people. Today, for the sake of everyone being a compatriot of Dayu, we only collect food, not Take your life, I hope you will be able to do it yourself in the future!"
The rebels squatting on the ground couldn't believe it when they heard this. Chi Zhongjun asked everyone's doubts: "The general really let us go?"
Don't wait for them to turn around and shoot them.
Zhu Wei raised his eyebrows and looked fierce. After listening to Chi Zhongjun's words, he looked at him with a serious face: "A man has no faith and a gentleman's promise is worth a thousand pounds. General Chi, there is no need to doubt my words!"
After hearing what he said, Chi Zhongjun's mouth twitched, and he solemnly clasped his fists at him: "It's a good one who can't stand without faith, promises a thousand gold, and Chi admires it! Today's favor will be reported in another day, and the general will meet later!"
Zhu Wei replied: "There will be a time later!"
Chi Zhongjun led the remaining more than 100 rebels out of the encirclement, turned around and waved at Zhu Wei, then turned and walked away without looking back.
Looking at the rebels walking away, Qiu San asked the question that had been pent up in his heart for a long time: "Brother, is your trick really useful?"
Originally, the empress only asked them to let some people go during the battle, and did not ask them to act in this scene.
"Whether it is useful or not, we will know later!"
Zhu Wei called everyone to carry the food on their backs and evacuate together.
When Xia Jing heard about this, she just smiled and said to Ye Fei: "I didn't expect our bandit leader to be so quick-witted!"
Ye Fei said truthfully: "The rough image is just his appearance, in fact, he is still a bold, careful, courageous and resourceful person in his heart."
Xia Jing raised her eyebrows, then changed the subject and talked about the grains that are now in storage.
"Now the county has sufficient food. Let the county government distribute food to the people again tomorrow. Thirty pounds for adults and fifteen pounds for children. Let the word go out. This is the last food distribution. Let the people take it easy. These grains must be eaten. Spring has arrived.”
Speaking of distributing food, Ye Fei expressed his worries: "Madam, distributing food twice in a row may make some local hooligans in the county ready to move. Do we want to organize the soldiers to clean up the county?"
Xia Jing was slightly taken aback when she heard what Ye Fei said, "This is my negligence, you can arrange it! If you find someone committing a crime against the wind, pull it out and chop it up, and kill the chicken to make an example to the monkey!"
Regardless of past and present lives, in troubled times, what Xia Jing pursues is to use heavy codes in troubled times!
If you don't teach some people a bloody lesson, they won't remember it long.
The county government posted notices again, at the gate of the city, at the entrance of the market, and at the gate of the government office.
The onlookers heard that the government was distributing food again, and ran along the street excitedly!
Some people even took off their coats and ran and waved them in the snow to vent their gratitude!
In the courtyard of Wu's house.
The Wu family sat together for breakfast.
Breakfast is very simple, just a pot of multigrain porridge and a big bowl of pickles.
The Wu family, who were used to eating delicacies from mountains and seas, now turned green with the food in front of them.
"Brother, it's not a problem for us to keep eating like this. Even if we adults can bear it, the children can't bear it either."
The second master of the Wu family noticed the two tables with children, and saw that their facial features were almost crowded together in order to swallow. This scene made him feel heartbroken.
The elder of the Wu family glanced at his second brother, took a sip of porridge, and then said in a neutral tone: "Who doesn't want to eat good food, but the current situation does not allow us to act recklessly. If we change our food, believe it or not After three days, the empress will bring people to borrow food again!"
The second master of the Wu family was a little confused, "No way, they got a lot of food in that abandoned house a few days ago, and they are not short of food now, why are they still staring at our house?"
The elder of the Wu family hummed in his heart: "Who in this world thinks there is too much food!"
At the next table, the old lady put down the bowls and chopsticks and said: "Don't worry, there must be a way for the car to go to the mountain, and there will be another village. It is impossible for the empress to stay in the county forever. There will always be a way."
After hearing her words, the others remained silent.
After a while, the housekeeper hurried in: "Masters, the county government has issued another notice, saying that starting today it will distribute food again, and this time it will distribute more food, catties for adults and catties for children. "
"The last time an adult was only five catties, why did you send so much this time?" the old lady asked in surprise.
The housekeeper told everyone the news in detail: "The notice said that this is the last food distribution this year, and everyone will eat this food until the beginning of spring. With the addition of wild vegetables all over the mountains and plains, everyone can hold on until the end of the year." Summer harvest and autumn harvest!"
The third master of the Wu family was in a hurry, "How could the thirty catties of grain persist until the summer harvest? The government wouldn't think that the people would eat wild vegetables every day in the beginning of spring, would they?"
The elder of the Wu family glared at him, and asked, "What else? If you don't eat wild vegetables, you still want to eat delicacies from mountains and seas, shark's fin and bird's nest every day?"
The third master of the Wu family's eyes lit up when he heard this. Thinking of the few taels of bird's nests his wife had hidden, he couldn't help but sip his saliva.
This look is really unbearable!
"Master, are we still going to collect food today?" the old lady asked cautiously.
"Go! If you don't go, what will our family eat?" No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat. How could the elder Wu miss this opportunity to be greedy for cheap.
The old lady had a hard time in her heart. As the head of the house, she was already a grandmother, and she had to go begging for the family at the end of the day.
It is begging. In the eyes of the Wu family, going to receive relief food is begging.
They were really afraid of being plundered by the rebels, and they dared not show off their wealth in front of any outsiders.
I'm really afraid that the neighbors and the government will tear down their house and eat it.
The most senior female relatives looked at each other, bitter in their hearts but could not speak out, and did not dare to object.
The men said that if they go to receive relief food, they must go to receive relief food. There is no room for them to object.
"The government won't come to check our house again, right?" The old lady was worried, and she was taken to the room for questioning again this time when she went to collect the food.
Thinking of the last time the empress came to check on their house, their family's luck seemed to be not as prosperous as before.
What should they do if they meet the empress again this time?
The elder of the Wu family thought for a while, and said, "Shouldn't meet your empress again, after all, she has so many things to do every day, so she doesn't have time to pay attention to you."
Even if Xia Jing saw the Wu family, she would not stop them from receiving food, and maybe she would make the yamen servants pay more attention.
After all, the food was supplied by the Wu family.
If the Wu family didn't take refuge in any prince, it would be a good idea to make some contributions to the local area.
"In that case, let's queue up at the Yamen after breakfast."
When the news spread, the entire county was in a state of eruption.
Everyone cheered and ran to the county government office after finding food from home. This time was different from last time. Everyone had food to eat. Although they were not full, at least they would not be dizzy and weak from hunger. up.
"Maodan, Maodan, let's go, get the food!"
Passing Mao Dan's house, Shi Shi stood outside the courtyard gate and started yelling again.
"Hey, come, come!"
Thank you Luo Jiuan and Gao Deyan for your support~
