A woman looks good to one who pleases her, and a scholar dies for a confidant.
The common people in the feudal era were not very literate, and they were so simple that they were almost ignorant.
Many assassins are willing to die for a powerful person just because they treat him to a drink and flatter him like a corporal.
There are also many women who become widows at a young age after their men die. They could have remarried, but they do not want to and insist on living alone.
Many things that Jin Feng could not understand were common in the feudal era.
The female workers in Tiegongshan are typical examples.
Jin Feng's original attack on Iron Can Mountain was not to save the girl who had become a "meat horse" in the mountain, but because the bandits took the initiative to provoke him.
In fact, Jin Feng only learned about the existence of "meat horses" in this world after conquering Iron Can Mountain.
Saving them was just a matter of convenience.
The original intention of purchasing slaves from Guangyuan Yahang was not only sympathy, but also because the scale of the soap factory continued to expand and Jin Feng needed them to work.
But the female workers didn't think so. In their simple and simple outlook on life, Jin Feng was their savior.
Therefore, even if Tang Xiaobei asked the female workers in Iron Can Mountain not to go down the mountain because of the soap formula, they never complained.
Jin Feng once felt that he couldn't bear it, so he tried to gradually open up Iron Can Mountain and no longer restricted female workers from going down the mountain.
It turned out that the person who opposed the most fiercely was not Tang Xiaobei, but the female workers from Tiegunshan.
This is the difference in outlook caused by different times.
No matter how Jin Feng views the matter of concubinage, in the hearts of the female workers in Tiegunshan, those who received the marriage certificate from Guan Xiaorou are the Jin family.
The most important thing is that they don't want to lose to the female textile factory workers.
Even if some timid female workers don't want to fight, they are too embarrassed not to raise their hands when all their colleagues have raised their hands.
At the end of the day, all the female workers raised their hands to sign up.
This made Zuo Feifei a little embarrassed.
Iron Can Mountain also needs to retain people, and it is impossible for her to take away all the female workers.
He groaned and said: "The group leader arranged to draw lots. Those who caught two lines will go, and those who caught one line will stay and guard the house. No one can look at others, otherwise they will be locked up in the dark room!"
In this way, if someone doesn't want to go but raises his hand because he is embarrassed, he can stay.
No one would know what she caught anyway.
The group leaders were arranging the drawing of lots, and a man with a black cloth covering his left eye and a hideous scar on his face hurriedly ran down the mountain.
He is Qin Fei, the platoon leader of the escort division stationed at Tiegongshan.
He had been serving in the Tielin Army before. When Jin Feng attacked Qingshui Valley, he was slashed in the face by a party member and one of his eyes was blinded.
After retiring, he joined the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau and was sent by Zhang Liang to guard Iron Can Mountain.
The bodyguards were usually stationed at the foot of the mountain and rarely went up the mountain. Qin Fei had just received news that Zuo Feifei had gathered female workers to stop the bandits.
I was shocked and went up the mountain immediately.
"Director Zuo, I heard that you are going to take the female workers to stop the Kuaizigou bandits?"
"Yes," Zuo Feifei nodded and said, "Platoon Commander Qin, you came just in time. I was just about to go find you."
Qin Fei did not ask Zuo Feifei why he was looking for him, but glared and asked: "Do you know what you are doing? Bandits can kill people!"
"Of course I knew bandits would kill, that's why I did it!"
Zuo Feifei said: "There are open spaces around Xihewan, and the fortress at the entrance of the village was destroyed by bandits. Once we let the bandits pass, many people will die in Xihewan!
We in Iron Can Mountain clearly had the opportunity to stop the bandits, but we sat idly by and waited for him to come back. How can you and I explain to him?"
"This..." Qin Fei was asked.
There are many mountains around Iron Can Mountain. From a terrain perspective, it is indeed more suitable for blocking bandits than Xihewan.
And female workers also volunteered to fight.
If he and Zuo Feifei disagreed, it would really be unjustifiable.
Qin Fei discovered that the female workers had begun to receive crossbows. Knowing that there was no room for recovery, he simply gave up the idea of dissuading him and asked, "How are Factory Director Zuo going to fight?"
"I don't know anything about fighting. I just wanted to discuss it with Platoon Leader Qin, but before I had time to go, you came."
Zuo Feifei said: "How does Platoon Commander Qin think we should fight?"
She was bought by Jin Feng from out of town. She has not been down to Iron Can Mountain a few times since then and is completely unfamiliar with the surrounding terrain.
Qin Fei's hometown is near Iron Can Mountain, and his grandfather and father are old hunters, and are very familiar with every mountain and every ravine around him.
But Qin Fei did not answer Zuo Feifei's question immediately, but frowned and thought for a while, and then said: "Since Director Zuo said so, I'm not polite! If we must fight, I think we should do it at Yangquan Ridge
!”
"Why?"
"One side of the official road in Yangquan Ridge is a cliff, and one side is a steep cliff. It is most suitable for ambushes. It is also the only way from Guaizigou to Xihewan. If the bandits want to avoid it, they will have to go around for dozens of miles!"
Qin Fei said: "Sir, he said that it is best to wait for the hard work in a war. Yangquan Ridge is very close to Tiegun Mountain. We can rush there with two sticks of incense, and then we can just wait for the bandits to come!"
"It seems that Platoon Leader Qin has already thought about it, so just follow what Platoon Leader Qin said!"
Zuo Feifei nodded, and then asked: "Does Platoon Commander Qin have anything else to explain?"
"Others..." Qin Fei thought for a moment and said: "In addition to the crossbow, Director Zuo will send someone to chop some bamboo and bring over all the pot lids from the canteen!"
"Cut the bamboo and get the pot lid?" Zuo Feifei suspected that she heard wrongly: "Why?"
"I've seen your training. The girls can shoot arrows and control catapults with no problem, but once they get into hand-to-hand combat, I'm afraid they won't be able to do it."
Qin Fei explained: "So I want to use the formation that Mr. used in Qingshui Valley, so as to avoid casualties to the greatest extent."
Although Zuo Feifei wanted to ask what formation Jin Feng used in Qingshui Valley, she knew that now was not the time to ask, so she chose to believe Qin Fei and immediately arranged for someone to go to the bamboo forest to cut bamboo and go to the canteen to get the pot lid.
When the bamboo is delivered, the female workers are ready.
Qin Fei gave each of them a sharpened bamboo pole, and the female workers lined up and headed for Yangquan Ridge.
On the way, Zuo Feifei finally found an opportunity to ask Qin Fei about Qingshui Valley.
Qin Fei told the story of how Jin Feng took orders at the critical moment and then led thousands of Tielin troops to turn the tide and defeat the party.
As one of Jin Feng's admirers, Qin Fei inevitably had some artistic processing in his narration, making the already fierce battle even more thrilling, which left Zuo Feifei stunned for a moment.
In her impression, Jin Feng had always been a gentle and elegant scholar, and he was often teased by girls in Iron Can Mountain until he ran away red-faced.
But today she learned another side of Jin Feng from Qin Fei's mouth.
Also know what the Macedonian Phalanx is.
Looking at the Sheepfold Mountain Road in front of her, Zuo Feifei nodded slightly: "This place is indeed very suitable for the formation you mentioned, Platoon Commander Qin!"
