Only then did Zhang Zhun slowly stop the assassination and listen quietly to the movements around him.

All the enemies were indeed withdrawn.

This place is temporarily safe.

"This hero..."

The woman in the fur coat said to Zhang Zhun.

"You go!"

Zhang Zhun said without hesitation.

He had no intention of chatting with the other party.

Because of Lei Lao San, Zhang Zhun really has no good feelings for Yan Xiao, even if the other party is a beautiful woman.

The woman in the fur coat was slightly stunned, but she didn't expect that Zhang Zhun would react like this.

Since the other party has no good feelings for him, why should he save himself?

She suddenly realized that all her original ideas were wrong.

In desperation, she asked in confusion: "Why did you save me?"

Zhang Zhun said expressionlessly: "Do you need a reason to save you?"

The woman in the fur coat was completely stunned.

Do you need a reason to save you?

What is this?

Zhang Zhun ignored her and walked towards the place where Yang Yinghan was hiding.

"Yulin, are you okay?"

Yang Yinghan had already come down from above and asked with concern.

She asked Zhang Zhun to save the woman, but after Zhang Zhun left, she regretted again, for fear that Zhang Zhun would have an accident. Her heart was really up and down, and she was uneasy. Fortunately, Zhang Zhun successfully rescued the woman and was not injured. However, Yang Yinghan secretly decided that Zhang Zhun would never do such a dangerous thing again.

"fine."

Brigadier General Zhang threw away the triangular thorn in his hand.

Such a small-scale fight is his strength and it is not difficult at all.

If two armies are fighting, there are muskets, cannons, stray bullets fly around, and shells are blown up, you really have to be careful. People as powerful as wild boar skins are killed by cannons.

When the woman in the fur coat saw Yang Yinghan, her eyes lit up immediately. She immediately walked up and said to Yang Yinghan: "Sister, thank you for saving me!"

Yang Yinghan said honestly: "It's not me who saved you, it's Yulin who saved you."

The woman in the fur coat seemed to realize that Zhang Zhun had no good feelings for her. If she continued to talk to him, she would probably not have good results, so she did not continue to entangle with Zhang Zhun. Instead, she firmly grabbed Yang Yinghan's hand and said with a smile: "You are together. My sister is counted on your head. Sister, what's your name? Who are you from? Did you pass by here accidentally?"

Yang Yinghan said without any scheming: "My name is Yang Yinghan, I am from Yangjiatun. We pass by here by collecting herbs."

The woman in the fur coat immediately said, "Sister Yinghan, you are my sister's benefactor. I really don't know how to thank you..."

She reached out and took off a jade pendant hanging in the middle of her neck and sent it to Yang Yinghan. She smiled and said, "This is something that my sister brought since she was a child. Although it is not valuable, it is also my sister's wish. I'll give it to you."

Yang Yinghan hurriedly refused and refused to accept it.

Zhang Zhun said, "Let's go! They are still waiting for us!"

Yang Yinghan remembered the injured fellow villagers in Yangjiatun and hurriedly said, "Okay."

The two picked up the herbs and turned around and left.

The woman in the fur coat held the jade pendant and watched the two of them leave blankly, and she wanted to speak but stopped behind. After they walked away, she said to herself: "Yang Jiatun... It seems that I have really met a noble person..."

After the two left, only corpses were left on the clearings in the mountains, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood. Her four entourages had already stood up and packed their luggage. The salt owls had always been very open to their lives. Whether they were companions or enemies, they would die if they died, and there was no need to bury them. Everything should be returned to nature.

"Let's go too!"

The woman in the fur coat sighed lightly, took the jade pendant back to her neck, and with the only four remaining followers, she simply cleaned up the battlefield and disappeared into the darkness.

The night wind blew, blowing out all the torches.

A cloud floated over, blocking the moonlight.

This valley where the bodies of the salt owls were lying all over the place was completely covered by darkness.

...

Zhang Zhun and Yang Yinghan returned to Yangjiatun safely before the early morning.

The injuries of the injured person have not yet worsened. The doctor has prescribed the corresponding prescription, but there are only a lack of enough herbs. Yang Yinghan immediately grinds the herbs according to the prescription and applies them. Someone helped decoct the medicine and drink it for the injured. The doctor said that as long as the injuries of the injured person are well recuperated, there should be no major problems. Zhang Zhun and others are relieved.

After breakfast, Yang Yinghan went to bed, and Zhang Zhun had some things to do. Yang Kaide gathered more than a dozen core military households in Yangjiatun to discuss the next step. Zhang Zhun and the eight backbone of the Zhayu Team also attended the meeting.

After yesterday's struggle, everyone in Yangjiatun now realized that they were in a very dangerous situation. Wang Shixin wanted to kill them. If they wanted to protect themselves, they would definitely not be able to compromise. They had to arm themselves and confront them head-on. Otherwise, they would not know what kind of suffering would fall on everyone's heads.

Wang Shixin is a hereditary thousand households in Fushan District, an imperial official, and has a unique advantage. Yangjiatun is a poor military household with nothing, and his confrontation with Wang Shixin is not at the same level at all. However, with Zhang Zhun's existence, Yangjiatun has already gained an advantage in this asymmetrical contest.

Now, Yangjiatun wants to continue to maintain this advantage, or even further expand this advantage. With such determination and will, they will never waver or retreat. However, what to do to maintain this advantage requires Zhang Zhun to make comprehensive plans.

Yang Kaide said in an old voice: "Yulin, no matter what decision you make, we old bones will support you without hesitation! Even if we break our old bones, we will not frown!"

"right!"

“Absolutely support!”

"Yulin, tell me, what are you going to do?"

Other military households also expressed their opinions with earnest words and firm will.

Zhang Zhun was not polite and said in a deep voice: "If we want to protect ourselves, we must set up a guard team! Implement armed guards!"

"Guard?"

"Armed guarding the village?"

Yang Kaide and others looked at each other.

"good!"

"Just set up a guard!"

"Implement armed protection of the village!"

Without any hesitation, Yang Kaide and various military households quickly expressed their support.

It doesn’t matter what name it is, but once you call it a formal name, you will publicly challenge the Qianhu Lord, and this is the key.

“Professional team!”

“Professional training!”

“Professional weapon!”

Zhang Zhun continued to say affirmatively.

He explained in detail that the escort will be the open armed force of Yangjiatun in the future, a "formal army" and must fully implement militarized training and management. The escort will conduct armed patrols outside the inner gate for twelve hours a day. At each intersection outside the gate, checkpoints will be set up to intercept and check all strangers. At the same time, lurking posts will be set up in some hidden places to prevent anyone from sneak attacking Yangjiatun.

Someone asked, "Yulin, what is the number of people in this guard team?"

Zhang Zhun pondered for a moment and said, "Within a hundred people."

Yang Kaide said: "No problem. There are young men in our village."

Zhang Zhun nodded and said nothing.

There are indeed many young people in Yangjiatun, and it is perfectly possible to draw 100 people. However, due to long-term malnutrition, the physical fitness of these young people cannot meet Zhang Zhun's requirements. If all of them are recruited, they will not be able to cope with high-intensity training at all. Therefore, he has to wait until these young people have improved their food and their quality can keep up before recruiting them into the team.

The escort now does not have a special source of supplies, and cannot give the escort soldiers alone. At the end of every day, everyone will go back to their own homes and find their own mothers. The food levels of each family are uneven, and Zhang Zhun is not easy to control. If the escort wants to become a real army, the first thing to do is to find a stable source of "military expenditure".

Money is not omnipotent, and you must not have money.

It can be seen that the source of military spending was so troubled by Emperor Chongzhen and ministers in the late Ming Dynasty.

Later generations even believed that the reason why the Ming Dynasty perished was entirely because of the word "money". The finances collapsed and it was impossible to perish.

The final number of the guards was determined to be eighty.

Zhang Zhun encountered some pressure on whether the team members were out of production.

Zhang Zhun insisted that the guards should be completely out of stock, and that they would no longer be responsible for any other matters except for the military responsibilities, which put a lot of pressure on Yangjiatun. Because, the young men who joined the guards, whether they were cooking firewood or cooking salt, were the main forces. Now they demanded that all production be produced have a great impact on cooking firewood and cooking salt. Although there is fish eaten every day, there is less salt after all. Less salt means that each household has a very small income, and it is even less.

For example, Yang Ruifeng wanted to join the guard team, but it was not possible. He had to collect firewood, boil salt every day to maintain his family's livelihood. Otherwise, he would have to eat fish. Now the conditions in Yangjiatun are so simple, and Zhang Zhun didn't know any good ways to make money. Some common ways of making money in ancient times, such as glass, perfume, looms, etc., obviously they are not used now.

On February 20th, the Yangjiatun Guards were officially established.

Zhang Zhun served as the captain of the escort team.

Eight people including Yang Qianqiang, Yang Zhiyuan, Zou Mingjia, Hao Linyong, Yin Fengyi, Yang Zhiwen, Li Jiaxi, Yang Junjie served as the gang leader of the guard team. According to the general organization of the Ming army, ten people formed a group, established a gang leader, and each managed five people. They were all backbones of the guard team.
