The era of all the princes

Chapter 227

The news of the Raiders' attack was not hidden from everyone. Whether it was Jiang Sheng, Wei Haodong and others, they all agreed that the villagers should be made aware of their current situation.

As a result, at dusk in the past few days, the villagers who have finished their farm work gather together in small groups to discuss the upcoming war.

"I really can't live anywhere"

In front of Meng Jiao's door, a lot of neighbors were sitting around the field ridge. A group of people drank the rice wine given out by Jiang Sheng, their faces flushed, and they began to complain.

Mrs. Sun cooked a sweet soup at Meng Jiao's house, which not only added sugar and rice wine, but also eggs. The sweet taste made a group of children wait by the boiler, afraid that the adults outside would hold the soup bigger than their faces. One bowl per person is enough.

The man from Mrs. Sun's family drank rice wine and sighed, "How long will this stable life last? There will be wars and deaths. When will it be the end?"

"That's right." Another man said with a red neck: "My daughter is going to marry Wang Wu in the cavalry soon. I'm really worried. If I'm not careful, I'll become a widow at a young age. Hey. "Suddenly, he looked like he couldn't go on.

The surrounding people also sighed, the lord gave preferential treatment to the soldiers, the soldiers not only paid well, but also benefited their families, which made them good son-in-laws. Except for scholars, the most priority of most residents now is to let their daughters marry soldiers.

"You can't say that."

A familiar voice came, and everyone looked back, and hurriedly got up one by one to salute: "Master Wen"

After half a year of training, these civilian women in the village have been fully respected, especially the Master Wenqing in front of me, who was the top of the list in the White Deer Academy last time, not only recognized for his knowledge, but also better than many men in teaching children, Master Wen The classes she leads now are very popular, and many people want to send their children to her here.

Even though some people are old-fashioned and don't approve of the fact that women teach, they dare not offend them on the surface.

"Don't be so out of touch." Wen Qing smiled gently, and found a place to sit down casually. She was wearing a long gown and a group of farmers sat casually on the ridge of the field like this, making the whole atmosphere look very harmonious, and many villagers were also very excited. Get used to this style slowly.

In the past, scholars were unattainable, but now these masters can patiently discuss children's education with illiterate parents, which has brought them closer to each other and made more villagers recognize these female masters.

"Joining the army is indeed dangerous, because of the heavy responsibilities. All of us can safely own these fields and chat comfortably here, but it is all because of them." Wen Qing looked at the large fertile soil in front of him, with an unstoppable smile on his face : "Without them, how could we have such a good life now, what kind of days were there before without soldiers protecting us, have you forgotten?"

Everyone was stunned, and there was silence for a while. It was a cruel scar. Many old people remembered the days when they were treated as livestock. Even the refugees from Bingzhou remembered the tragic situation of their own family when they were invaded by foreigners without soldiers. .
"I, we also know." The man from Mrs. Sun's family blushed just now and said: "My lord, the soldiers now are all good men, completely different from those bastard soldiers in Bingzhou before, but because of this, we don't want to These good guys are gone like this.”

"Someone has to carry the burden forward." Wen Qing sighed quietly: "Outside our Taoyuan, there are countless wolves, just like this time the master announced that he is about to attack us, you just stick to your face and say we live in peace. , people don’t want it either!”

"That group of beasts are worthy?" A villager said angrily: "A group of cannibals are more vicious than wolf cubs, so they should be killed!" "Yes!" The other villagers were also aroused. Xue Yong, it seems that he can't wait to go out and kill the enemy with a hoe on his shoulders!
Wen Qing laughed when he heard the words, Master Wei was right, it was a correct decision for the Lord General to announce the invasion in advance.

Let everyone know that the current life is hard-won, and it may be broken at any time. The more you do this, the more people cherish it.

As for whether frequent wars will make it more difficult for military households to get married, she doesn't have to worry about it. Although the man said just now that he was worried that his daughter would become a widow, he had no intention of letting his daughter withdraw from the marriage.

In this regard, the lord has put a lot of thought into it. First of all, the land is exempt from taxation, and children are given priority in schooling. Even if you become a widow, your family members can still have good protection and generous compensation. In today's world, it is already a dream. home!

There will be many more battles to be fought in the future, the villagers must be accustomed to war, and this kind of martial arts must be allowed to prevail! ——
"General Liu, this is the combat strength counted, please have a look." Wei Haodong respectfully handed over a list.

"Mr. Wei is polite." Liu Yan took the list and responded with a smile. The scar on her face made her smile a bit hideous.

This is the first time the two have worked together. Jiang Sheng completely entrusted this defensive battle, which can be regarded as a real test!
Liu Yan has quite a lot of combat experience now, and she showed excellent leadership skills when she was in the Anan Kingdom. She performed perfectly in several crusades against the ghost epidemic, and her loss rate was frighteningly low. To be worthy of those famous generals in the world, at least as a pioneer general, he should be qualified.

When Wei Haodong was in the company, his military strategy performance was the best among all the players, and he was also the first military advisor that Jiang Sheng planned to train. This time, the invasion can be said to be the best trial!
There are not many such opportunities. After all, if you are facing Wang Bainian's regular navy, Jiang Sheng is now weak and cannot afford to lose a battle, so he dare not let Wei Haodong lead the army alone.

Military talents need to be cultivated by war, and the smaller the power, the more difficult it is to cultivate such talents. Jiang Sheng will not let go of this rare opportunity.

After all, compared with the regular army, this group of savages has backward equipment and tactics, and the terrain does not have an advantage, or even the sky, because if they cannot take down the valley in a short time, this group of savages will not even have a chance to retreat.

On my own side, with excellent equipment, rich types of arms, and sufficient logistics, it has the right time, place, and people. Apart from having a lower number of people than the opponent, the opponent has almost no advantage.

If such a battle can be lost, it can only prove that neither Liu Yan nor Wei Haodong can bear the heavy responsibility of leading an army alone!

Both Liu Yan and Wei Haodong clearly understood Jiang Sheng's meaning, and they were extra cautious this time, especially Wei Haodong, who has been in charge of internal affairs since he came to power, and this kind of opportunity to command an army to fight such a large-scale defensive battle is quite rare .

Don't talk about losing this time, it's ugly to win. I'm afraid I won't have such a chance again.
