"Bang!" There was a sound, a fat palm slapped on the table. Wang Xingzu stood up excitedly and shouted: "This is unreasonable, it is simply unreasonable. Zhou Shiqi, your Qingshui Village militia soldiers killed our Wang family elders.
We camped dozens of people and arrested dozens of people, as well as my two sons, and you actually stared and refused to admit it?"
He then pointed at Zhao Bingyi and Huang Dongshan who were sitting on both sides, and said: "You two are here to comment on this theory. Is Zhou Shiqi going too far? If he pretends to be confused like this, I will go to the county to file a complaint."
."
Zhou Shiqi also made an innocent face and said: "Xingzu! I really don't know what you are talking about? When did our militia soldiers come to your village to beat your people to death and arrest the people in your village?
Already."
Wang Xingzu shook his thick hands and said: "They didn't come to our village, they were beaten to death in Baishatan."
Zhou Shiqi said slowly: "So it's at White Beach? But isn't this White Beach the place where our village belongs? When did people come from your village? Why didn't you tell me?"
Zhao Bingyi and Huang Dongshan also looked at Wang Xingzu, as if waiting for his answer. Wang Xingzu was also stopped for a moment. He couldn't say that his village was here to grab land.
Zhou Shiqi added: "When you talked about White Beach, I remembered that there was a group of bandits yesterday who wanted to come to our Qingshui Village to steal food. Of course, our village's militia soldiers couldn't let them enter the village.
White Beach blocked them, and a fight resulted in the bandits being driven back. However, dozens of people in our village also died! Oh, that was so miserable..."
Before he could finish speaking, Wang Xingzu immediately interrupted and said: "No, those are not bandits, they are people from our village. And my son."
"Are they from your village?" Zhou Shiqi stared at Wang Xingyu's fat face and said slowly: "When did you people from Wang's Datun change your profession and become bandits?"
After Shang Yi came back with the militia group, Zhou Shiqi heard the result. His village had won a big victory. Naturally, he was very happy. The militia group was formed correctly. But he was also a little scared. After all, he killed more than 30 people.
It's a big trouble. If a few people on our side die, to say the least, but it happens to be a battle with zero casualties, the Wang Family Datun will never give up.
However, Shang Yi gave his suggestion to Zhou Shiqi and blamed the bandits. After all, Zhou Shiqi was a former official. He felt comfortable and immediately understood that this was a good idea. At the same time, he invited Zhao Bingyi and Huang Dongshan overnight.
Come, let them all come together to bear witness.
Zhao Bingyi and Huang Dongshan couldn't help being surprised and happy when they heard that the Wang family's village, which had always been victorious in village battles, had suffered a big defeat in Qingshui Village. What was surprising was that the militia in Qingshui Village was so powerful, and they actually destroyed the Wang family.
The village was beaten so miserably; the good news is that Shilitun Village and Bajiaotai Village also suffered several losses from Wangjiadatun, and this time Qingshui Village finally helped them. After hearing Zhou Shiqi's solution to the aftermath, he was also full of words.
Agree that we will come forward together to deal with the Wang Family Datun.
Sure enough, on the second day, Wang Xingzu couldn't sit still. He didn't expect that his village would be defeated so miserably. Sixty or seventy people were missing among the people who came back. He heard that even his two sons were captured by Qingshui Village.
I had no choice but to come to Qingshui Village in person to ask for someone.
But when he heard that Zhou Shiqi insisted on blaming his village for the bandits, he hurriedly said clearly: "It's not bandits, that's not bandits, it's people from our village."
"卍" Zhou Shiqi then changed his face and said with a stern voice: "They are from your village. Why do they come to our village to cause trouble and bring hundreds of people with them? Aren't we allowed to fight back in self-defense?"
?You people from Wangjia Datun have always been arrogant and domineering. This time you are the one who took the lead. Are you saying that our village is being ignored?"
Zhao Bingyi also said: "Yes, last year your village robbed our Shilitun Village of 600 acres of land and killed six people in our village. Why didn't you, Wang Xingzu, say that you were unreasonable?"
Huang Dongshan also said: "There is also our village. At least, more than ten people were beaten to death by your village, and seven or eight hundred acres of farmland were taken away. Your Wang Family Datun usually relies on the strength of its numbers. It is too overbearing.
, you have suffered a loss this time, why do you still come here to express your grievances?"
Wang Xingzu's face turned red and white, and finally lowered his head and said: "Zhou Taigong, Village Chief Huang, Village Chief Zhao, in the past it was indeed our Wang family's village that did something wrong and offended everyone. This time it is ours."
Wrong, I, Wang Xingzu, can’t accompany you here. But we are old friends. For the sake of my old face, let’s let the people in our village go! Regarding killing people, our village also
No further investigation."
Zhou Shiqi nodded and said: "This sounds like a sentence. To be honest, I originally wanted your Wang family to pay some money and food before letting him go. But you said that, and everyone is from the countryside."
Folks, we can't do things so perfectly. We can release him, but you Wang Family Datun should not be so domineering in the future. If there is a next time, we won't be so easy to talk to."
When Wang Xingzu heard that there was room for action, he couldn't help but beam with joy and hurriedly said: "That's right, that's right, I will never do it again in the future."
Zhou Shiqi said: "Also, what about the fields in Shilitun Village and Bajiaotai Village that you snatched? What should we do?"
Wang Xingzu was stunned for a while, then finally gritted his teeth and said: "Return them all, return them all."
Zhou Shiqi said again: "Okay, but it's just empty talk. Now the four of us are here. You can create a document for all three of us, admitting that it is your Wang Family's Datun that is at fault this time, and return the fields of Shilitun Village and Bajiaotai Village."
, the documents have been established, I will release him immediately."
Wang Xingzi's fat face turned red, and he almost wanted to walk away, but when he thought that his son was still in their hands, it would be hard to handle if he really became a bandit and was sent to the county government. So he finally
He held back a breath and said, "Bring me a pen and paper."
After the ink was written, Zhao Bingyi and Huang Dongshan were so happy that they couldn't even close their mouths. They hurriedly grabbed it in their hands before the ink was dry, for fear of flying away. But the bad temper they had suffered in the past few years was finally out, not to mention how happy they were.
Zhou Shiqi also immediately ordered the release of the people, and at the same time handed over the bodies of the deceased to them and moved them back for burial.
When Wang Xingzu left Qingshui Village with his two dejected sons and other villagers carrying the body, they happened to catch up with Shang Yi leading the regiment back from today's drill.
The regiment soldiers from Qingshui Village lined up neatly, with their heads held high, and passed by the villagers from Wangjiadatun. The spiritual temperament of the two sides also formed a very sharp contrast. The villagers from Wangjiadatun all lowered their heads.
, not even daring to look at the regiment soldiers from Qingshui Village.
Thanks to this victory over Wangjia Datun, the regiment soldiers in Qingshui Village also admired Shang Yi very much, and at the same time they also understood the advantages of team fighting. Originally, they had some criticisms of the training content arranged by Shang Yi. , but now they are all done honestly and conscientiously.
At the same time, after this village fight, the villagers of Qingshui Village also had a deeper understanding of forming a group to practice martial arts and protect the village and the people. They also knew that the militia group was to protect their own vital interests. And Zhou Shiqi announced that there are not enough conditions for everything. For villagers who join the militia, the militia will not protect their properties and families. Therefore, some villagers who have not yet participated in regiment drills also took the initiative to sign up, and finally all the young people in the village were gathered together. A total of There are seven hundred and thirty-three people.
And as time went by, the villagers also discovered that Shang Yi was actually a very good person. Although he was very good at martial arts and extremely strict during training, he was usually very kind to others and could talk and laugh with everyone. He also dealt with things. , rewards and punishments are very fair, and at the same time, no tribute money is collected from regiment soldiers. These points are much better than the previous Ma brothers. Therefore, gradually the villagers also like Shang Yi and call him their fellow countryman.
After Zhao Bingyi and Huang Dongshan returned to the village, they took over the land occupied by Wangjia Datun, and at the same time they also mobilized in the village. They used the vivid example of Qingshui Village's defeat of Wangjia Datun to teach the villagers that only every Only when people take action and unite together can they protect the safety of their villages and protect their fields from being invaded by others.
With their strong persuasion, young adults from Bajiaotai Village and Shilitun Village also signed up to join the militia.
Bajiaotai Village has 337 households with a population of 1,406, including 416 young adults. Shilitun Village has 372 households with a population of 1,683. , there are 573 young and middle-aged people. The three villages combined have a total of 1,722 young and middle-aged people, of which 1,080 are young people and 638 are in their prime.
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 full-time training soldiers. Moreover, three villages could not support so many soldiers. If they were all half-blooded, then The quality of the regiment's soldiers cannot be guaranteed either.
Therefore, after some thought, Shang Yi formulated a plan to form a group. First, he would select 300 to 400 able-bodied people from all the young and middle-aged villagers as the main force of the group, conduct full-day training, and select three The villagers jointly bear their monthly expenses. Other young and middle-aged villagers practice half-farming and half-farming as supplements and auxiliary forces to the main regiment. In addition, three young people between 14 and 18 years old from the village are recruited to form the youth regiment. , can serve as the backup force of the militia when necessary.
After seeing Shang Yi's plan, the three village chiefs also thought that this was better. They were also afraid that all young and middle-aged people would join the militia, which might delay farm work. However, with only three to four hundred main soldiers, the three villages It can still be afforded in total, and it can also support an elite regiment. Others who are half-farming and half-training will not miss the farm work. When necessary, there are enough manpower. This arrangement sets aside There is a lot of room.
At the same time, it was also decided that the future actions of the militia will be decided by agreement between the three village chiefs and Shang Yi. Shang Yi will be fully responsible for the training, rewards, punishments, and command of the militia. Tang Zhen, Huang Dongling, and Zhao Yinghao will
Serve as deputy team coach.
In this way, the three-village joint militia group was finally formed.
