After the competition, the defeated Wang Family Datun angrily withdrew from the four-village alliance. The remaining Qingshui Village, Bajiaotai Village, and Shilitun Village also felt that it was better not to have Wang Family Datun. Therefore, they decided to use these three villages to form an alliance.
Alliance and jointly set up a militia.
Not counting the newly added population, Qingshui Village has 454 households, with 56 new households, Bajiaotai Village has 337 households, and Shilitun Village has 372 households, three
The total number of households in the villages is 1,228.
Zhou Shiqi proposed that the number of people in the militia should be calculated based on the household registration of each village. Each household must have at least one person. The cost of the militia should also be shared among the three villages in this proportion. This time, Huang Dongshan and Zhao Bingyi also thought it was acceptable.
Therefore, we first went back to the village to recruit people. After all the quotas were announced, the formal group training began.
So after the three parties discussed and decided, they each went back to the village to recruit the villagers.
After Shang Yi and others returned to Qingshui Village, Zhou Shiqi immediately summoned the villagers and announced that all young men in the village must join the militia and receive training from Shang Yi.
After this decision was announced, the villagers immediately exploded, because most people did not want to participate in the training of the militia, thinking that it would waste time and effort, and when the bandits came, they would have to fight the bandits.
If not, he wouldn't even be able to save his life. But Zhou Shiqi has always had prestige in the village, and Shang Yi had just defeated the four Wang brothers who had always been rampant in the township, so he also had considerable power, so most of the villagers still reported it honestly. But still
There are a few stubborn people who still ignore this.
For this group of people, we cannot force it, we can only take it slowly and organize all the participants first. Because now the autumn harvest ends with the winter wheat, most of the winter wheat sowing has been sown with the warp, and it can basically start.
Training throughout the day.
A total of 613 villagers participated in the training. Adding 47 new villagers, the number was exactly 660. However, Shang Yi also knew that the quality difference between the eighteen and forty age groups was still relatively large.
, therefore the villagers were also divided into two groups, the young group between the ages of 18 and 32, and the middle-aged group between the ages of 33 and 40, which were trained separately. There were 402 people in the youth group and two in the middle-aged group.
One hundred and fifty-eight people. Among the brothers in Tang Town, Tong Fang was a blacksmith, Lu Shi was a carpenter, and the other six, Jiang Yiqu, Bao Tonggang, Wang Xin, You Hongliang, Zhou Qi, and Wu Hansheng, turned out to be soldiers.
Therefore, they all serve as assistant teachers.
When the Ma brothers were teachers in the village, the training of the militia consisted of bending the legs and practicing boxing and equipment. But this could only improve personal physical fitness or martial arts. Although Shang Yi performed the tasks before traveling through time,
Basically, individual soldiers or small groups fight alone, but he also knows that in large army operations, individual strength is of little use. Guan Jian still fights as a team.
Because it is the beginning of training, the first thing is to practice physical fitness, and the second is to practice formation. I practice physical fitness in the morning and practice formation in the afternoon. Practice for an hour each.
Training for physical fitness is pretty good, and it’s nothing more than running, prone holds, sit-ups, lifting stone weights, and jumping. The previous village soldiers also practiced some, and most of the villagers are used to farm work. As long as they can eat enough,
The basic physical fitness is pretty good. Although the training is a little harder, I can still endure it.
But the practice queue was full of jokes. Most of the villagers couldn't tell the difference between left and right. Let alone turning, even walking in unison was uneven. In the end, I had no choice but to tie a rope around everyone's left leg. But that's it.
There are still people who are confused.
Shang Yi could still be patient and teach slowly, but Jiang Yiqu, Bao Tonggang and others didn't care about that. When they saw someone making a mistake, they would just pick up the stick. As a result, the effect was quick. After being beaten, the villagers
They will remember it right away. Shang Yi was so angry that he just wanted to vomit blood. Are such bastards really born in the year of donkey? He has to be beaten to remember.
As a result, on the second day, Shang Yi also showed off his nunchucks during training. If anyone made a mistake again, stop talking nonsense and give him two sticks, and then teach him. And facts have proved that traditional Chinese sticks produce talents, not just sticks.
The ancient adage that you can't defeat a weapon is not unreasonable. Under the pressure of violence, the progress of the regiment soldiers has also greatly increased. By the third day, most of them can separate their left and right legs, and the queue can basically maintain a certain appearance. But
When it came time to even turn left and right, I forgot about it.
With a "bang" sound, Shang Yi threw the nunchucks on the table, sat down on the bench, "huffed" and "hooked" and breathed heavily, poured a bowl of water and drank it "gudong, gudong".
Tang Zhen smiled and said, "What's wrong? I never saw you so tired during the competition that day."
Shang Yi shook his head and said: "This is really not a job for humans. Even a pig has learned how to do it. Why are you so stupid and want to learn how to play nunchucks like this? I'm going to be so angry."
Tang Zhen said with a smile: "To be able to look like this in three days is very good. When I was in the army, the biggest headache was training soldiers. After half a month of training, it still didn't look good."
Because in the past few days, regiment soldiers have been coming to ask Shang Yi when they can start practicing boxing, swords and spears, and many people want to practice nunchucks. Tang Zhen used to be an officer, so he naturally knows that the formation training looks like
Simple, in fact, is the basis for all other military training. If you can't even train the formation well, forget about everything else. Therefore, I help Shang Yi patiently persuade the soldiers every time.
At this moment, Zhou Shiqi, accompanied by Zhou Jie, hurried to the playground and said: "Shang Yi, Shang Yi, something big happened."
Shang Yi and Tang Zhen were both startled and stood up in a hurry, asking, "What happened?"
Zhou Shiqi said: "Someone just reported to me that hundreds of people came from the Wang family's village. They were led by the four sons of the Wang family and surrounded the fields on the other side of Baishatan. They said that the fields belonged to their village.
It was occupied by us and now we have to take it back."
Shang Yi couldn't help being surprised and said, "Is there such a thing?"
He lived in the village for a few days and knew that there were more than 1,600 acres of farmland in Baishatan, which was reclaimed by Qingshui Village two years ago. Because this area is close to Yishui River, the harvests in the past two years have been very good.
Now Wangjia Datun actually wants to seize the past.
But Shang Yi had never experienced this kind of thing before, and he didn't know what to do for a moment. Tang Zhenji got up and walked to the center of the playground, saying: "Why are you still standing there? Line up to fuck this guy, ready to teach you a lesson."
Can we let them snatch our village's fields?"
The regiment soldiers hurriedly found their respective squads to stand up. At this time, Shang Yi pulled Zhou Shaohuan and said: "If someone loses his life, will the government take care of it?"
Zhou Shaohuan smiled and said: "What do you care? Isn't it a confusing account of who is right and who is wrong? How can the government control it? Besides, isn't my brother still in the county? This time I have to teach Mr. Wang a lesson. three."
Zhou Shiqi also heard it, and immediately said: "Nephew Shang Xian, don't worry, just go ahead and do it. If anything happens, I will take care of it. If you dare to bully our Qingshui Village, don't give them some color, and you can't do it." Do you think we are easy to mess with?"
In fact, in ancient China, it was common for villages in the countryside to compete for water sources, good fields, and even livestock. Fighting with weapons and violent actions was common. Sometimes it even developed to thousands of people participating, and due to rural fighting, Death is also common. It was when Qi Jiguang was passing by Yiwu that he saw the fighting in Yiwu. The villagers were all very brave, so he came up with the idea of recruiting new soldiers in Yiwu.
It turns out that the Wang family Datun, relying on the large number of people in their village and the support of the four Wang brothers, has competed with other villages for water sources and fields not only ten times but seven or eight times in the past few years. It can be said that it is victorious in every battle, and every time Every time they killed several of their opponents. However, Qingshui Village was also a big village in this area, and Zhou Shaoqing was an errand in the county, so they had never violated Qingshui Village before. Usually disputes were settled by agreement between the two parties.
But this time the four brothers of the Wang family were defeated miserably at the hands of Shang Yi. Although Shang Yi was merciful and did not kill him, he went home, applied some bruises, and rested for a few days. However, he could not get out of it. , I always want to find an opportunity to win back a victory. The four of them are definitely no match for one-on-one. Even if the four of them are bundled together, they may not be able to do anything to Shang Yi, so I thought of such a way to win by relying on more people. On the one hand, he wanted to teach Qingshui Village and Shang Yi a lesson, but on the other hand, he also wanted to seize the more than a thousand acres of fertile land in Baishatan. Anyway, Wangjia Datun had never lost in the rural fights.
Therefore, the four brothers of the Wang family gathered more than 600 people in the village and headed to the White Beach. Wang Xingzu also supported the actions of his sons and promised a heavy reward. After the win, each participant would be rewarded one or two taels. silver.
After receiving Zhou Shiqi's assurance, Shang Yi immediately felt relieved, put on camouflage uniforms, and brought all weapons and equipment. At this time, the regiment soldiers also gathered into the team, and each person was given a knife and gun. Even though the militia had not practiced much, Heaven, but the weapons are very complete, swords, guns, clubs and shields, anyway, it can keep one hand straight. There are also seventy-eight bows, but most of the villagers don't know how to use bows and arrows, so those who bring bows and arrows are all from the mountains. The new joiners, as well as Tang Zhen and others, brought a total of fifty-four bows. As for the more than thirty sets of armor, they were too eye-catching, so they didn't bring them this time.
After the regiment assembled, Shang Yi said loudly: "Listen, folks, why did we form a militia? Why do we practice so hard every day? It's to protect our villages and our homes, right?"
The regiment soldiers shouted in unison: "Yes."
Shang Yi said: "Okay, now the people from Wangjiadatun want to occupy our village's land in Baishatan. Maybe you will think that your family's land is not in Baishatan, so it has nothing to do with you. But today they took over Baishatan , tomorrow we will go to rob Qingyan Creek, and the day after tomorrow we will go to rob Shiji Bang. Sooner or later it will be your turn. So we must not let them get it, do you understand?"
