Chapter 306 The War Is About to Begin
There is a large piece of reclaimed land outside Guihua City, on which this year's summer wheat has been planted, and high-quality wheat can be harvested in autumn, and people in the city can also eat big bowls of wide noodles.

Thinking of the people in the city is very beautiful. At this time, in the field, the farmers are preparing to return to the city one by one with their hoes.

"Hey, old Wang, let's go."

At this time, a farmer shouted loudly that Lao Wang was still hoeing the ground and dealing with weeds. These damned weeds always want to compete with his wheat seedlings for land and nutrients. His wheat grows better, and he threshes more.

Guihua City is good now. He used to live in Mizhi County in northern Shaanxi. That place was really poor. How poor was it? It was so poor that the trousers worn by the county magistrate showed their buttocks. Of course, they didn’t know the situation at the beginning. Later, a big bandit came out of the county, named Li Hongji, oh, by the way, now someone called him Li Zicheng, led troops into Mizhi County, and found 1 taels of silver at the home of the county magistrate in rags.

1 taels, two big boxes full of white silver ingots, when he glanced at it from a distance, he felt his heart beating faster. I don’t know why the damn magistrate is so rich, why is he wearing pants? Still need to patch.

Later, it became even more interesting. The county magistrate was killed by the big bandits Li Hongji and Li Zicheng. He hung his head on the gate of the city, and he was still applauding.

As for why applaud?I don't know, anyway, I feel refreshed when the parent officials in my head are killed, maybe it's a kind of hatred for these magistrates who used to be domineering.

In fact, not only the county magistrate, Lao Wang thinks that any official in the Ming Dynasty should be beheaded, regardless of whether the person is good or bad. Besides, are there any good officials in the Ming Dynasty these days?
The county magistrate was killed. Lao Wang thought he was going to live a good life, but he didn't expect disaster. The county magistrate died, and Li Zicheng got the money, but he didn't get the food. These years, there have been famines every year. There is still food for the army. The big guys don't have enough food, and the official warehouses of the county government are even less food.

Then, Li Zicheng's army was also short of food. At first Li Zicheng said that everyone was a fellow villager, and he bought it with silver, but no matter how good the silver is these days, it can be worth a bite of food. One bite of the wheat bran-filled Zamian Momo will fill the stomach, but I have never seen anyone take a bite of the silver and the stomach will be full.

Therefore, the big guys were unwilling to exchange with Li Zicheng, and then the disaster began. Li Zicheng saw that his troops could not exchange food, so he immediately turned his face, and started to send people to rob from house to house. Burn down this family's house and tell this family that this is helping them.

Only by burning the houses and everything can the big guys follow the army. If you follow the army, you can rob the next county town. There is food, meat, money, and women there. As long as you want, you can give it to you.

So the entire Mizhi County was over, and all the people in the county were ransacked by bandits. The 60-year-old mother of the old Wang family was hacked to death by bandits. The hateful bandit smiled and said to himself: "Congratulations, brother, die If you eat this old food, even if you survive, follow the commander, kill the officers and soldiers, and grab the food, and the good days will come."

After speaking, a group of beasts around them clasped their fists and laughed, "Congratulations, congratulations."

Hearing the piercing laughter of the people around him, and looking at his old lady lying in a pool of blood, Lao Wang's mentality collapsed, but when thieves want to coerce the people, who can escape?

So Lao Wang joined the bandits under the coercion of the bandits, but Lao Wang hated them, so during an operation to rob the county, Lao Wang ran away, and Li Zicheng didn't chase after him. From bandits to refugees again.

But the life of fleeing was not easy. There was no food or drink. Just when Lao Wang thought he was going to starve to death, he met a group of people. , I can get an acre by myself, and I don’t have to pay taxes. The most important thing is that as long as I am willing to go, people will take care of the food now.

Taking care of the food, for the old Wang at that time, taking care of the food was a big deal. In the eyes of the old Wang at that time, besides food, it was land. He won't be able to survive in this life.

So he followed a caravan to Guihua City. After arriving here, they were assigned a house. They were usually responsible for land reclamation, and then they could help repair the city wall. There were Han chiefs here. They said they were from Lantian.

The old king of Lantian has heard that it is a paradise-like place in southern Shaanxi. It is said that the lord there is a clean official and treats the people very well. The people there live like gods.

Old Wang once wanted to go there to flee the famine, but there was Wang Jiayin and Gao Yingxiang's army of bandits in the middle. Old Wang was afraid that he would be engulfed by the army again and become a pawn, so he didn't dare to go.

In the end, he came to this land by accident. Lao Wang was very happy, so Lao Wang worked hard to reclaim wasteland. This prairie is too vast, and a group of people can only reclaim a small piece of land. For example, he reclaimed after a lot of hard work. He acquired fifteen acres of land, so he got five acres of land, his own five acres of land.

It's a pity that the Mongols had the final say in Guihua City at that time. Although with the help of the head of the village and the head of the Dali, the bullying of the Han people gradually decreased, but the Mongols still didn't treat the Han people as human beings, and kept shouting to people like themselves: " A lowly slave."

The angry old Wang wanted to fight them desperately, but he didn't. The Lantian army arrived, captured the Mongols, and killed more than 3000 Tartars. When packing up the corpses of the Tartars, he took a peek. It covered half of the wasteland, and the blood dyed the grass dark red.

Now it’s all right, the land is there, the food is enough to eat, the Mongols have also been arrested by the county lords, and I don’t have to watch them yelling at me anymore, the good days are coming soon, and the happiest thing is the neighbor Auntie Zhang He also arranged a matchmaker for himself. It was a girl from the Ma family in the next street. I once took a look at it from a distance. She was very capable and had a big butt. She looked fertile.

Our old Wang’s happy time is coming, I’m happy just thinking about it, but Ma’s family said they want a bride price of ten taels of silver, which is not close, but it’s almost the same. In the past three years, I have worked hard, sold grain to the chamber of commerce, and saved some Silver, there are about eight taels or so. This year, when the wheat is ripe this year, I will keep my own rations, and the rest can be sold to the chamber of commerce. The bride price is enough.

At that time, I will be able to ask for a wife. I am very excited when I think about Lao Wang, life is getting better little by little, and I feel panic when I think about Lao Wang.

But now the weeds in the field are my biggest enemies. These damned weeds desperately want to absorb the nutrients of the wheat. If they absorb the nutrients of the wheat, the wheat will not grow up. The wheat will not grow up. If you can't sell it for money, if you can't sell it for money, the bride price will not be enough, and the girl from the Ma family will not be able to marry.

Not being able to marry a girl from the Ma family means that he is going to be a bachelor. Thinking about it, Lao Wang feels a little sad.

I am sworn to death with weeds!

This is what Lao Wang yelled in his heart, and the surrounding farmers walked out of the field one after another. Some people asked Lao Wang to go with him, but Lao Wang insisted on removing the weeds in the field before leaving. They grow in the ground.

The farmers are slowly leaving their crops. There are patrolling soldiers in the distance. The soldiers look at the time. Guihua City has strict farming hours. Every day from [-]:[-] am to [-]:[-] pm when the farmers are open, the people can leave the city. to farm.

You must stay in the city for the rest of the time, because the city gate will be closed at this time. As a city on the fortress, Guihua City may face Mongolian rangers or horse bandits on the grassland at any time. Therefore, every time you go out to farm, Guihua City will Send troops to guard.

The soldiers would usually withdraw at three o'clock to urge the people to return to the city, because it was nearly half an hour away from Guihua City.

The soldiers had to leave early so as not to delay closing the city gate.

The people will also follow the rules and regulations of Guihua City, and no one will mess around, but today Lao Wang was in a hurry to marry a wife, so he didn't go back on time.

Soldiers only have the right to guard, but not to manage. They will be stationed on time, but they will not count how many farmers came out today.

Some farmers set off with the first army at six o'clock in the morning, and then went back after finishing their work at eight o'clock in the morning, and some went out for a stroll at seven o'clock and returned by ten o'clock.

Some people go at one o’clock in the afternoon and return at three o’clock. It’s different. People come and go, and you check the number. I have to shout: "It's [-]:[-], pack up and go!"

At this time, the people also left the farmland and rushed back, but today Lao Wang didn't listen, he thought that the gate of the city would be closed at four o'clock on time, and every time he returned to the city with the army, it was only 03:30, and there were still two quarters of an hour. , I have this little land left, and I will definitely finish it in two quarters of an hour. By then, I will trot all the way back, and I will definitely be able to catch up with the gate of the city.

Old Wang was very confident, confident that he would be able to successfully catch up with the gate of the city, so he took a look at the army and began to withdraw, and after the people began to return to the city, he didn't respond, but speeded up the process of hoeing.

The army left, and the entire farmland area was silent. After Lao Wang removed the last damned weed from his land, a happy smile appeared on his face, and he was still thinking about the great harvest of wheat, The happy scene of buying the land, selling the money, and marrying a daughter-in-law.

At this time, Lao Wang was very satisfied, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and was about to leave with his hoe on his shoulders, but at this moment, Lao Wang saw a dozen cavalrymen appearing on the horizon in the distance. It is not a big deal to see cavalrymen on the grassland. Good thing, it was either a horse bandit or a Mongolian ranger. Lao Wang was frightened and ran away with a hoe on his shoulder.

And the other party also found Lao Wang, and at this time he shouted, and chased after him. Two legs must not be able to run with four legs, and people must not be able to run a horse.

When the cavalrymen came after them, Lao Wang had already exerted all his strength and ran, his eyes glanced back, and his blood turned cold in an instant. They were a group of bald heads, with only one ugly hole left in the center of the head. Heads with little tails.

This thing is called a money rat tail, and it is the symbol of a tartar. Seeing this scene, the old king's legs softened. Tartar, it turned out to be a tartar!
The Tartars are a symbol of fear to the people of Ming Dynasty, just like the image of the Japanese devils during the war of aggression against China, they are all synonymous with cruelty, bloodthirsty and beasts.

Lao Wang was about to pee his pants at this time, when he saw clearly that it was a tartar, Lao Wang knew it was over, at this moment a gust of wind passed by his side, and he felt a tightness in his back when he followed Lao Wang, and he fell down. In an instant, the whole person was lifted up, and his legs were lifted off the ground in an instant.

"Save~"

"Cough cough!"

Just as Lao Wang wanted to call for help, he was slammed onto the horse's back. The next moment, a tartar shouted, "Your Excellency, I finally caught the tongue of the Han!"

After hearing this, a big bald man in the cavalry smiled and said: "Go, take it back and ask, be careful, don't kill her mother, I still want to know the information that the master wants from him. "

"Don't worry, my lord, there are plenty of ways to deal with the Han people, and it will definitely make him comfortable, hahaha."

At this time, a Tartar cavalry laughed loudly, and said with a big bald head, "Okay, get out, damn it, the cavalry here in Guihua City are very powerful, be careful not to be discovered by them."

After speaking, the Tartar cavalry nodded, followed by Lao Wang and disappeared into the farmland area.

Lao Wang's disappearance was discovered the next day by his neighbor, Aunt Zhang. Aunt Zhang wanted to bring good news to Lao Wang, but it turned out that the old man of the Ma family had let go. Lao Wang is a nice person, and the girl from the Ma family also liked this hardworking young man, so she decided to let Lao Wang breathe and let Lao Wang make preparations early.

As a result, when I came here, I found that Lao Wang was not at home. I asked the neighbors and they said they did not see Lao Wang. Some people told Aunt Zhang that Lao Wang did not follow the big team back to the city yesterday. This made Aunt Zhang vigilant. , hurriedly told the matter to the head of the village, and the head of the village immediately took people out of the city to check after hearing this. Could it be that the old king let the wolf dig it out?

As a result, when they arrived in the farmland area, the vigilant chief suddenly saw the horseshoe prints on the ground, and then quickly notified the army. There were experts in the army who could read the horseshoe prints.

Immediately afterwards, the results of the army's survey masters came out. According to the horseshoe prints, it can be judged that the horseshoe prints on this farmland are military horses, and they are military horses of the Tartars.

The last battle in Lantian wiped out [-] Tartar cavalry, so they got a lot of Tartar army horses. These people analyzed the hoofprints of these army horses, and now they can tell at a glance that they are Tartar army horses.

After hearing the news, Li Chang's eyes suddenly became fierce, he knew that the war was about to start!
