Chapter 35: Rural Fight (Part 2)

With a "bang!", a thick palm slapped the table. Wang Xingzu stood up excitedly and shouted: "It's so unreasonable. Zhou Shiqi, your militia soldiers in Qingshui Village killed dozens of people from our Wang Family Datun, arrested dozens of people, and my two sons. You stared at me and refused to admit it?"

He pointed to Zhao Bingyi and Huang Dongshan sitting on both sides and said, "You two are here to evaluate this principle. Is Zhou Shiqi too much? He is going to pretend to be confused, so I will go to the county to complain."

Zhou Shiqi also looked innocent and said, "Xingzu! I really don't know what you are talking about? When will our militia soldiers come to your village to kill your people and arrest your people."

Wang Xingzu shook his thick hands and said, "It's not that I went to our village, but that I was killed on the white beach."

Zhou Shiqi said slowly: "It turns out that it is on Baisha Beach? But isn't this Baisha Beach the place of our village? When did people come to your village? Why don't you tell me?"

Zhao Bingyi and Huang Dongshan also looked at Wang Xingzu, as if waiting for his answer. Wang Xingzu was also stunned at once. He couldn't say that his village was here to grab land.

Zhou Shiqi said again: "When you talk about Baisha Beach, I remembered that yesterday there was a group of bandits who wanted to come to our Qingshui Village to grab food. Of course, the militia soldiers in our village could not let them enter the village, so they blocked them at Baisha Beach. As a result, they fought and finally defeated the bandits. However, dozens of people died in our village! Oh, that screamed miserable..."

Before he could finish his words, Wang Xingzu immediately interrupted and said, "No, that's not a bandit, that's the person from our village. And my son."

"Is it from your village?" Zhou Shiqi stared at Wang Xingzhi's fat face and said slowly: "When did the people from your Wang family Datun change their careers and become bandits?"

After Shang Yi brought the militia back, Zhou Shiqi was very happy when he heard the result that his village won a great victory. The militia was the right group. But he was also a little scared. After all, killing more than 30 people on the other side would be a big trouble. If a few of them died, it would be fine, but he would have fought a battle of zero casualties, and Wang Family Datun would never give up.

However, Shang Yi told Zhou Shiqi about his suggestion and then held it on the bandits. Zhou Shiqi was an official, and he immediately understood that this was a good idea. At the same time, he invited Zhao Bingyi and Huang Dongshan overnight to let them testify together.

When Zhao Bingyi and Huang Dongshan heard that Wang Family Datun, which had won a lot of battles in Qingshui Village, was shocked and happy. What was shocked was that the militia of Qingshui Village was so powerful that it actually beat Wang Family Datun so badly; what was happy was that Shilitun Village and Bajiaotai Village also suffered several losses in Wang Family Datun, and this time, Qingshui Village finally helped them breathe a sigh of relief. After hearing Zhou Shiqi's aftermath, he agreed to stand up and deal with Wang Family Datun.

Sure enough, on the next day, Wang Xingzu couldn't sit still. He didn't expect that his village would be defeated so badly. Sixty or seventy people were missing from the people who came back. I heard that even his two sons were caught by Qingshui Village. He had to go to Qingshui Village in person to ask for people.

As a result, when he heard that Zhou Shiqi insisted on pulling his village to the bandits, he hurriedly said, "It's not a bandit, it's not a bandit, it's the people in our village."

"Ye" Zhou Shiqi then changed his face and said sternly: "It's the people from your village, why did you come to our village to mess with each other? He also brought hundreds of people. Don't the people in our village allow themselves to fight back? The people in your Wang Family Datun have always been domineering. This time, you are the ones who are the ones who take the lead. Do you still say that our village is ignored?"

Zhao Bingyi also said: "Yes, your village robbed 600 acres of land in our Shilitun Village last year and killed six people in our village. Why didn't you, Wang Xingzu, say you ignored him?"

Huang Dongshan also interjected: "There is also our village. At least ten people were killed by your village and stolen seven or eight hundred acres of land. Your Wang Family Datun usually relies on the large number of people and power. It is too domineering. This time he suffered a loss. Are you still coming to express your grievances?"

Wang Xingzu's face turned red and white, and finally lowered his head and said, "Duke Zhou, Village Chief Huang, Village Chief Zhao, our Wang Family Datun did something wrong in the past and offended all the villages. This time it was our fault. I, Wang Xingzu, are here to accompany you. But we are always intimate. See if I have my old face, let the people in our village be released! Our village will not pursue the murder of people."

Zhou Shiqi nodded and said, "This is still like a saying. To be honest, I originally wanted your Wang Family Datun to pay some money and food before letting go. But if you say that, everyone is from the villagers, and we can't do things so well. It's okay to let people go, but your Wang Family Datun should not be so domineering in the future. If there is another time, we won't be so easy to talk to."

When Wang Xingzu heard that there was room for movement, he couldn't help but feel happy and said hurriedly: "That's, that's it, it's definitely not going to happen again in the future."

Zhou Shiqi said: "Also, what about the fields in Shilitun Village and Bajiaotai Village that you snatched away? What should I do?"

Wang Xingzu was stunned for a while, finally gritted his teeth and said, "Return all, all return them."

Zhou Shiqi said again: "Okay, but the empty words are untrue. Now the four of us are all here. You have to set up a document for all three of us. I admit that this time it was wrong for your Wang family Datun. I will return the fields of Shilitun Village and Bajiaotai Village. If the document is well set up, I will release people immediately."

Wang Xingzhi's fat face turned red and almost wanted to leave. But when he thought that his son was still in his hands, it would be difficult to deal with if he was really a bandit and sent it to the county government. So he finally held back his breath and said, "Come on the pen and paper."

After writing the characters, Zhao Bingyi and Huang Dongshan were so happy that they couldn't even talk. Moji hurriedly grabbed it in his hand before he even dripped, for fear of flying away. And the anger that had finally been completely out of the past few years, and I felt so happy. Zhou Shiqi immediately ordered the release of the people, and at the same time, the bodies of the deceased were handed over to them and moved back for burial.

When Wang Xingzu took his two dejected sons and other villagers, carrying the bodies and left Qingshui Village, he happened to catch up with Shang Yi and the regiments to complete today's training.

The regiments of Qingshui Village lined up in an orderly line, holding their heads up and passing by the villagers of Wangjia Datun. The spiritual temperaments of the two sides also formed a very sharp contrast. The villagers of Wangjia Datun all lowered their heads and did not dare to look at the regiments of Qingshui Village at all.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

It is precisely because of the victory of defeating Wangjia Datun that the soldiers of Qingshui Village admired Shang Yi and understood the advantages of team combat. They were originally a little slight about the training content arranged by Shang Yi, but now they are all honest and serious.

At the same time, after this village fight, the villagers of Qingshui Village also had a deeper understanding of group training and protecting the village and the people, and also knew that the militia was to protect their vital interests. Zhou Shiqi also announced that in everything, the militia would not protect their land and families. Therefore, some villagers who had not participated in the training of the militia also took the initiative to register, and finally gathered all the young and middle-aged people in the village. There were a total of 733 people.

And over time, the villagers also found that Shang Yi was actually very good. Although he had high martial arts skills and was extremely strict during training, he was usually very kind to others and could talk and laugh with anyone. Moreover, he was very fair in handling matters, rewarding and punishing merits and punishments, and he did not collect filial piety money from the regiments. These points are much better than the previous Ma brothers. Therefore, gradually the villagers also like Shang Yi and called him his fellow villagers.

After Zhao Bingyi and Huang Dongshan returned to the village, they received the land occupied by Wangjia Datun while mobilizing in the village. Using this vivid example of Qingshui Village defeating Wangjia Datun, they taught the villagers that only when everyone takes action and unites can they protect the safety of their own village and protect their fields from being occupied.

Under their strong persuasion, young and middle-aged people in Bajiaotai Village and Shilitun Village also signed up to participate in the militia.

There are 337 households and 1,406 people in Bajiaotai Village, 416 young and middle-aged people, 372 households and 1,683 people in Shilitun Village, and 573 young and middle-aged people. The three villages add up to a total of 1,722 young and middle-aged people, of which 1,080 young and middle-aged people and 638 young and middle-aged people.

Shang Yi was very satisfied with this number, but he also considered that these young and middle-aged men had farmland at home and could not become soldiers who trained all day. Moreover, the three villages could not afford to support so many soldiers. If all were half a species, the quality of the regiment soldiers would not be guaranteed.

Therefore, after some thought, Shang Yi formulated a group plan. First, select 300 to 400 strong people from all young and middle-aged villagers, as the main force of the regiments, conduct full-day training, and allow the three villages to share their monthly money. Other young and middle-aged villagers implement half-farming and half-planting as supplement and auxiliary forces for the main force of the regiments. In addition, three villages have been recruited for 14 to 18 years to form young soldiers, and can serve as reserve forces for the militia when necessary.

After reading Shang Yi's plan, the three village chiefs also thought that this would be better. They were also afraid that young and middle-aged people would join the militia and might delay farm work. The main group of only three or four hundred people could still afford the three villages, and they could also raise an elite group of soldiers. The others would not miss farm work if they were half farming and half trained. There would be enough manpower when necessary. This would be a lot of room for arrangement.

It was also decided that the militia's actions will be decided by three village chiefs and Shang Yi in the future, and the militia's training, rewards and command will be fully responsible. Tang Zhen, Huang Dongling and Zhao Yinghao will serve as deputy coaches.
