In the afternoon of that day, all the leaders and directors of all branch halls in Feifeng Village gathered in Ye Zheng's residence. Dozens of people filled his living room, which did not seem crowded.
Originally, Ye Zheng was planning to summon everyone to the Juyi Hall to discuss matters, but the thought of sitting on Deng Sanniang's tiger-skin chair and giving orders in front of everyone seemed too pretentious, and he felt quite awkward.
Yes, after much deliberation, we should let everyone discuss matters in their own residences and feel more comfortable.
Directly above the living room, there are two chairs on the left and right. Ye Zheng sits on the left, and on the chair on the right, he invited Chen Fu, the leader of the fifth hall, to sit on it. Now, there are only himself and Chen in Feifeng Village.
Fu is the only remaining core leader. Xu Jiuqiang, the original second hall leader, and Chen Liema, the fourth hall leader, had long died in the hands of Lan Heilong. Liu Jianqiang, the first hall leader, was also seriously injured and accompanied Deng Sanniang.
They went to Huayunguan together to heal their injuries.
Originally, with Ye Zheng's current status as the leader of the third village, Chen Fu was not qualified to be on an equal footing with him. However, Ye Zheng thought about how he had led the brothers in Niujia Village when they first joined the village.
He took good care of him, and when he was the third hall master, he also said a lot to him. Therefore, Ye Zheng has always had a good impression of him. Now, in front of so many people,
Inviting Chen Fu to sit next to him was also to express his respect and gratitude.
In fact, Ye Zheng's move has won the favor and recognition of some senior brothers in the village, especially Chen Fu. Seeing that Ye Zheng gave him enough face in front of so many people, he felt very happy. If this matter were left alone.
In the past, even Deng Sanniang and the others had never thought so highly of him. Thinking of this, Chen Fu couldn't help but have a great impression of Ye Zheng. Therefore, in the subsequent discussions, no matter what Ye Zheng proposed, he would not even think about it.
He agreed with both hands, and also declared that no matter what orders or plans Ye Zheng had from the five halls under his command, the people in their five halls would definitely support him with all their strength.
With the support of Chen Fu and other elders, as well as everyone's awe and admiration for Ye Zheng, the meeting went very smoothly. Ye Zheng gave them a series of measures to deal with the enemy, asking everyone to strengthen the stronghold from now on.
Fortifications at some dangerous locations inside and outside, and at the same time, everyone must take confidentiality measures, so that the news of the officers and soldiers attacking Feifeng Village cannot be spread for the time being.
Once this news spreads, I am afraid it will make people in the village panic, because Feifeng Village is one of the top mountains in the Cangliang Mountain area. Although there are many people in the village, thieves are thieves after all, and they are born
There is a sense of fear of the officers and soldiers. If the people in the cottage know that there will be officers and soldiers coming to attack the cottage in two days, then there will definitely be great commotion and panic in the cottage.
During these few nights, there will be some cowardly people who are afraid of death and will escape secretly.
In fact, when General Ye Zheng told the public that the officers and soldiers were going to attack Feifeng Village in two days, most of the people present had very ugly expressions on their faces, and their voices and expressions were full of worry and panic, as if those officers and soldiers were
Even before they fight, they know they will be defeated by those well-prepared officers and soldiers.
Seeing that everyone looked depressed and desperate, Ye Zheng laughed on the spot and said, don't panic yet! What is there to be afraid of? Even if the sky falls, I will still be here. Although the officers and soldiers are large in number, they will not be afraid.
They are not invincible! Think about it, no matter how many officers and soldiers they have in Dahe County, and no matter how well-equipped they are, can they compare to Lan Heilong and the others? You must know that the last time Lan Heilong tried to capture Feifeng Village, they had to come down
Basically all the elite warriors and masters in the Black Dragon Village were led by him, but so what? Didn't they fall into our hands? Didn't we beat them to pieces and flee in defeat?
After listening to his words, everyone began to regain some vitality on their faces, but some people said that the reason why they were able to defeat the Black Dragon Village last time was all because of the magical weapon in the hands of the leader of Ye Village at the critical moment. Otherwise, otherwise
, Feifeng Village has long been destroyed by Black Dragon Village.
Ye Zheng laughed again and said very confidently that last time he was able to use firearms to defeat the Black Dragon Village. If those officers and soldiers came this time, he would still use the firearms to defeat them, no matter how many people they came, but after seeing
Ye Zheng had to lie down obediently.
When everyone saw that Ye Zheng was speaking with certainty and domineering, everyone was immediately infected by his unparalleled self-confidence. Suddenly, everyone roared loudly, saying that they wanted to fight with those dog officers and soldiers of the imperial court.
, let them know how powerful our Feifeng Village is.
Seeing that everyone's enthusiasm was basically stirred up by him, Ye Zheng no longer worried about deserters. After arranging all precautions and precautions to resist the officers and soldiers, he ordered everyone to go down and prepare.
He also retained several leaders from the previous four halls alone.
At this time, there was a leader in charge of patrolling the mountain in the fourth hall. He looked at Ye Zheng and said respectfully: "I wonder if Master Ye Zheng has left me and the others, what do you want to do?"
When Ye Zheng heard this, he looked at this person and found that he looked familiar. He suddenly remembered that when he led the brothers from Niujia Village to defect to Feifeng Village, it was this person who led him to see Deng Sanniang at the foot of the mountain. He thought of this
, Ye Zheng couldn't help but chuckle and said: "It turns out to be Brother Li Shiqing. I haven't seen you for many days, but Brother Li is still handsome!"
Li Shiqing didn't expect that Ye Zheng would still remember him. Suddenly, he felt a sense of being taken seriously in his heart. He touched the back of his head and said with a naive smile: "Master Ye is making fun of me. How can my groom be so heroic?"
Ye Zheng smiled and waved his hand, no longer joking with him, and asked seriously: "Brother Li, your fourth hall has always been responsible for patrolling and investigating around the village, but I don't know that after the fierce battle with Heilong Village and the others the night before, now
How many brothers from the fourth cousin are left?"
Li Shiqing lowered his head and made calculations in thought, then said: "Master Ye Village, there was a fierce battle with the gang of thieves from Heilong Village at the foot of the mountain last night. Over a hundred of our brothers from the four halls were killed or injured. Excluding those brothers who were injured and could not mount their horses, now the four of us
There are less than a hundred people available in the hall."
Hearing this result, Ye Zheng frowned and sighed softly: "I didn't expect that the brothers of the Fourth Hall would suffer such heavy casualties. I have already ordered people to send gold and silver to the families of those brothers who were injured or killed. I don't know if they have any."
Did not receive?"
When Li Shiqing and several other leaders heard this, a trace of warmth flashed in their eyes, and they all bowed and saluted: "Thank you to the village master for your care. The families of the casualties have now received the gold and silver pensions from the village master."
, those orphans and widows want us to express our gratitude to you on their behalf."
"Why!……"
Ye Zheng sighed heavily and said: "You go back and tell them later that as long as I, Ye Zheng, are here, I will definitely protect them and will never leave them alone, orphans and widowed mothers. With me, Ye Zheng,
As soon as someone eats something, they will feel like they are missing."
When the leaders of the Fourth Hall heard Ye Zheng's words, their eyes were filled with admiration and admiration. They felt that this new village leader was indeed interesting and righteous enough, and worthy of being followed by their brothers.
