Duan Fei asked puzzledly: "Why don't the wealthy young men in the village go out to look for opportunities outside the mountains? I saw that you fought very fiercely just now, wouldn't it be good to join the army?"
"This..." Luo Lianghui sighed: "Growing up here, no one is willing to leave. Besides, people in the mountains will be looked down upon when they go to big places. The elders in the family, the wife is worried about the children, and the husband is suffering outside.
You can’t go even if you want to.”
Duan Fei nodded in realization, but then asked: "Then why don't you join the army? Are you afraid of going to the battlefield?"
The village chiefs of both villages smiled bitterly and said nothing. When Duan Fei thought they had acquiesced, Peng Xing, the judge of Ruizhou Prefecture, said in surprise: "Do you really not know this? My Ming Dynasty uses all guardsmen.
…”
After explanation, Duan Fei learned that the Ming Dynasty adopted the garrison system in order to control the army. The garrison soldiers were also called garrison soldiers. Soldiers came from generation to generation and relied on garrison for supplies. This system saved a lot of resources for the treasury during the founding of the Ming Dynasty, but as time went by,
The shortcomings will gradually become apparent.
The hereditary garrison and military system has resulted in some people being born to be soldiers, regardless of whether they are willing or not, regardless of whether they are physically unqualified. Some people are qualified soldiers but have no chance to serve the country, just like the healthy and surplus people in these two villages.
Duan Fei asked casually. Seeing that the road was blocked, he didn't say anything more. When the wine was in full swing, dust rose high in the distance. Two fast horses came in a hurry. Two official servants were sitting on the horse. After they dismounted, they found
Duan Fei reported to him: "Sir Duan, the Governor Wang has ordered me to send you a secret letter, please open it yourself."
Duan Fei took the secret letter, opened it, looked at it, handed the letter to Su Rong, and then said to the two people: "I will go back with you right now, please wait a moment."
After seeing it, Su Rong couldn't help but smile slightly and said, "Sir, it seems that someone is impatient."
Duan Fei nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, it's faster than expected. If he can't hold his breath, this person is not a problem."
Su Rong shook her head and said with a smile: "It's not enough to cause trouble? Don't underestimate him, sir. How many people have fallen into his hands, and the government has been unable to do anything about him. I think it's better for you to stay away from water in the future."
Facing Su Rong's teasing, Duan Fei smiled nonchalantly and said: "Just in time, I plan to ride back. Shi Bin, give the signal and invite Mr. Tang back, and prepare to return to Nanchang."
With the enthusiasm of the villagers in the two villages, Duan Fei and his entourage quickly disappeared into the distance on horseback. When they had just galloped two or three miles and turned around the foot of a mountain, the two government servants leading the way suddenly turned into a trail. Duan Fei's riding skills
Unfortunately, after charging too far, they reined in their horses and stopped. They heard the two men shouting in the path: "Sir, please follow us. Your Majesty Wang has sent someone to help."
Duan Fei turned his horse to follow him, and soon he saw a group of neatly-armored officers and soldiers coming out of the woods.
"The Thousand Commander Niu Caiyi has been ordered to come and escort Master Duan." A general flew over on horseback and clasped his fist towards Duan Fei.
Duan Fei returned the greeting and said, "Thank you, General."
Two more cavalry came jogging over. Duan Fei recognized them as two of the four personal guards around Governor Wang Shouren. Their names were Chi Chengchang and Chai Junfu. Judging from the way one of them was carrying a sword and the other was carrying a bow, they should each be good at close combat and combat.
Attack from a distance.
The two of them also met with Duan Fei, and the two groups of people gathered together. More than a thousand people crowded in to protect Duan Fei and his party as they headed towards Shanggao County.
As they walked, Shi Bin, who had never been treated like this before, couldn't help but quietly said to Duan Fei: "Brother Fei, the governor actually sent so many people to protect you. He really cares about you."
Duan Fei looked around, but felt a little heavy in his heart. One or two masters could only deal with Can Shark, so why did he need so many soldiers? Lord Governor Wang really had a clever plan. He had already made two preparations. If his plan failed, what would happen to him?
When the situation became uncontrollable, I was afraid that this thousand-man team would be responsible for cleaning up the mess. Fortunately, I succeeded.
He looked at Su Rong who was lagging behind. Su Rong also heard Shi Bin's words. She looked at Duan Fei with her full eyes. Those talking eyes seemed to say: "Master Wang is so domineering..."
The thousand-man team slowly came to Shanggao County. Niu Caiyi, the commander of thousands, did not know what he said to the magistrate of Shanggao County. The magistrate hurriedly rode on his horse and took a group of government officials to go ahead. Then Niu Caiyi came to Duan Fei and said:
"Sir Duan, according to the secret order of the governor, we will take the land route and return to Nanchang slowly. It is getting late today, so we will rest here in Shanggao County for the day."
Duan Fei has no objection. Although he has so many people protecting him, he is still a little worried about those Jianghu people who can come and go. He has read too many martial arts novels in the past. The Jianghu people kill one person in ten steps and leave no trace behind.
His ability is enviable, but when he faces the assassination of Jianghu masters, he doesn't feel so good. Is it useful to deal with Jianghu masters in large numbers? More than two hundred years later, Emperor Yongzheng had his head cut off by Jianghu masters in the palace...
…
After arranging a place to live in the county office, Duan Fei looked out of the yard and felt a little dazed. Su Rong saw what Duan Fei was worried about, smiled softly, made a cup of Biluochun and handed it over, and then comforted her in a low voice: "Young master, there is no need to worry.
, Can Shark is just a first-class water thief. When he comes to land and meets four first-class land masters, he has no chance. There is no need for you to worry, sir. At the worst, there is me. I can't even beat him.
, it’s okay to delay for a while and let the young master escape on horseback.”
Duan Fei glanced at her and said, "Are you my master or my maid now? You enter my room wearing men's clothes and do the work of a maid. It's easy to be misunderstood."
"Scoundrel, a dog bites Lu Dongbin, you don't know a good heart, hum, I will ignore you." Su Rong rolled her eyes at Duan Fei. Although she was dressed as a man, she was still amazingly charming.
Su Rong turned around to leave, but Duan Fei stretched out his hand to grab her catkins. Su Rong didn't even look back, but seemed to feel his movement. She swung Duan Fei's hand away with her backhand, and Su Rong jumped forward.
He took a step forward, turned around and shouted: "What do you want to do?"
Duan Fei innocently rubbed the sore back of his hand and said, "I haven't finished speaking yet. Why are you walking so fast? Are you afraid that I will tease you?"
Su Rong put her hand on the hilt of the sword and shouted: "It's you who should be worried. If you have anything else to say, just say it quickly. I'm going to rest."
Duan Fei shook his head and looked at Su Rong with a regretful look. Just before Su Rong was about to run away, Duan Fei suddenly said: "Did you really find that Lord Wang sent all four of his guards to protect me?"
Only then did Su Rong realize that she had accidentally slipped her words. She said with a straight face, "So what if you show up?"
Duan Fei frowned and said: "Master Wang has sent all the four guards around me to protect me, but his own journey is all by water. Aren't Master Wang afraid of Can Shark looking for him?"
Su Rong thought about this possibility, but said: "Master Wang is the star of Tiankui who descended to earth, so he is naturally blessed by the gods. You still worry about yourself."
Duan Fei looked at Su Rong and suddenly grinned with joy, and said: "It seems that you didn't think of this problem in advance. How could you not think of it with your intelligence? Is it because you are too lazy to use your brain after being around me for a long time? Also, the more you
You like to quarrel with me more and more. How can any maid talk back to her master all day long? Be careful of how I serve you!"
Su Rong glared at him, turned around and left, saying: "I'm too lazy to pay attention to you, just daydream. Remember that the toilet is under the big tree to the east, don't fall in in the middle of the night."
Looking at Su Rong's back, Duan Fei smiled, and suddenly there was an urge to see Su Rong's true face... dd
