Chapter 409 Very good

Thinking of this, the officer called five sergeants, gave some low-spirited instructions, and then shouted to Zhou Bao: "You spy, your fate is good, I won't kill you, I will go to the camp and meet the general by myself." "Please tell me."

Zhou Bao hurriedly said, "Master, I'm really not a spy, I'm really a spy."

Those sergeants were already yelling at each other. He came forward, grabbed him, and shouted: "Stop talking nonsense, come with us." Zhou Bao was still struggling, but the rest of the people were already forcing him with guns drawn. Zhou Bao had no choice but to obey. Seeing that he was obedient, the sergeants also knew that he was a householder and not a spy, so they did not tie him up. They just took the wrapped bow and asked Zhou Bao to carry it on his back. They each carried a long spear, short knife and quiver. Take him to the direction of Xingyuan.

Although Zhou Bao has little experience, he is calm, resolute and quite intelligent despite fighting all day long. Seeing what he just looked like, that officer must be greedy for his good leopard skin. The escort boys look like they are not very good people. If they arrive at the camp and report the spies directly, then the general may not be able to deal with him. Maybe his life will be dealt with in a mess. . He had to find a way to escape with his life

Zhou Bao was walking too slowly as he was thinking about it. A sergeant was impatient and slapped Zhou Bao on the buttocks with his rifle, scolding: "You're so stupid You bastard, you’re going to make grandpa run dozens of miles more, why don’t you hurry up!”

Zhou Bao was hurt and took a few steps quickly, but he dared not say anything because he was afraid of suffering an immediate loss. Despite this, those people kept beating and scolding them along the way, and Zhou Bao was filled with rage.

After walking nearly five miles, we arrived in front of a mountain. After passing this mountain, there was a flat plain ahead to Xingyuan. If we didn't run, it would be too late. The five officers and soldiers had been lying in wait all night, and they were tired and tired after walking the five-mile mountain road. He ordered Zhou Bao to stop and let the others rest.

When Zhou Bao peeked, there were two people beside him, each with a waist knife, and one of them had a bow and arrows on his back. The other three people were sitting lazily about a foot away. Look at this mountain. I have climbed it before. Although there is no road, you can reach the town by climbing over the mountain.

This week, Zhou Bao was bold and careful. By chance, he punched the man on the right with his right hand. The man was caught off guard and fell on his back. Zhou Bao had already grabbed the knife at his waist with his left hand. The handle went smoothly and hit the head of the man on the left. The man was confused and dead.

When the man fell, Zhou Bao pulled off the quiver with his right hand, turned around and ran up.

The three people heard the noise and looked up. Zhou Bao had already ran two feet away. The three of them jumped up and chased after them with their guns drawn. The man who was knocked down by Zhou Bao's fist took a long time to stand up unsteadily, cursed loudly, pulled off his partner's waist knife, and then chased after him.

Zhou Bao ran out a hundred feet away to see when he was approaching the edge of the forest. When he looked back, he saw that the three soldiers were less than five feet behind, and they were chasing and scolding them. But reluctant to give up. Zhou Bao ran and took off his bow. When he took out the arrow and looked at it, it was an iron-headed withered feather arrow. He was so happy that he suddenly turned around and stood still, with his bow drawn and an arrow drawn. When he saw someone approaching recently, he shouted loudly: "Look at my magic arrow." He loosened his fingers., an arrow flew out and went straight to the man's chest.

The sergeant was chasing after him when he heard a shout and saw an arrow flying towards him. He tried to dodge, but he missed it in time. The arrow hit his chest, and he fell to the ground with a howl.

The other two sergeants were furious when they saw Zhou Bao shoot down a companion. Seeing that they were getting closer, they rushed towards him with their guns drawn, and Zhou Bao shot his second arrow. At this time, the distance was only 5 feet. Wherever he could escape, the sergeant on the east side was also shot over. The sergeant on the west side is also a veteran of many battles. Extremely brave, he threw his spear smoothly, drew his sword, and rushed forward.

Zhou Bao dodged the spear, dropped his bow and arrow, and responded with a sword. The two of them were at the edge of the forest, their lives at stake. Although this soldier is not very skilled in martial arts, he is very experienced in fighting in battle. Every time he cannot dodge, he will trade one life for another, and he is extremely vicious. Zhou Bao was willing to confront him, but often hid first. Even so, it only took twenty moves, and the sergeant was slashed on the back by Zhou Bao. Falling to the ground. Zhou Bao stepped forward and slashed hard, cutting off the head.

The sergeant who came later saw the two fighting and rushed over with all his strength. When he got closer, Zhou Bao had already taken the name of his companion, and was so frightened that he turned around and ran away. Zhou Bao sneered and cursed: "You bastard, I'm looking for death, but I can't let you go." He raised his bow and arrow, and shot the arrow. The man fell down in response to the arrow.

Zhou Bao felt relieved when he saw that he had killed all the sergeants. He walked over, reported the knives and spears of several people together, and ran over the mountain to the town.

When I came down the mountain, I hid the weapon and looked at my body. Fortunately, there was no blood. He took his bow, arrows and packages and entered the town. Looking at this town, almost every house is closed, and there are almost no people on the streets. When I arrived at the grocery store I used to visit, the door was tightly closed, and I couldn't help but feel miserable in my heart.

I had no choice but to knock on the door. After knocking for a long time, someone inside asked in a trembling voice: "Who is it? I'm closed here, go somewhere else!"

Zhou Bao What he heard was the voice of the shopkeeper, who hurriedly said: "Shopkeeper, I am from the mountain. I have been here before. Please open the door. I want to change something."

The shopkeeper listened to Zhou Bao's voice sounded a little familiar. He opened the door a crack and said to Zhou Bao: "There's nothing else there, but it's valuable. It's all been robbed by soldiers. What do you want?"

The old man looked at Zhou Bao and said: "They are robbing these things. It’s useless to go, but it’s not wasted, so I left it behind.”

The old man let Zhou Bao go into the house and found a lot of paper, pen and ink. Zhou Bao took out three skins, but the old shopkeeper only left one fox skin. He said that was enough and gave all the paper, pen and ink to Zhou Bao.

Zhou Bao wrapped it up in a package, resigned from the old shopkeeper, and left the town. He found the place where he hid his weapons and took them. He could no longer take the official road and made a big circle through the mountains. There were too many, but it was not easy to take. I only walked for four hours, and it was almost midnight before I returned to the villa.

Zhou Xing waited until the third watch, but Kong was anxious., but there is nothing we can do. Going back and forth inside and out. I don’t know how many times I went around, but I couldn’t help but regret letting Zhou Bao come out.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside, and Zhou Xing rushed to the door in two steps. When I looked, a man had already entered the yard. He was carrying something in his hands and his steps were heavy, even a little staggering.

Zhou Xing stepped forward to pick it up, but the man threw the things in his hand into the courtyard and said, "We're home now. I'm exhausted."

Zhou Hearing the sound of tinkling, he heard Zhou Bao talking again, and said hurriedly: "What is that? Why did you come back so late?"

Zhou Bao waved his hand and walked straight into the house. The two of them arrived inside. , Zhou Bao sat down on the bed, took off his baggage, threw it to Zhou Xing, and said, "It's all here."

Under the bright pine light, Zhou Xing saw that Zhou Bao was sweating profusely, His face was full of exhaustion, and he hurriedly opened his bag and asked hurriedly: "Why is it so late? Is the journey not smooth?"

Zhou Bao took a few breaths, wiped his face with his sleeves, and then summarized the day's experience. I told Zhou Xing once, and when I heard the danger, even though Zhou Bao was already sitting in front of me, Zhou Xing was still frightened. After Zhou Bao finished speaking, Zhou Xing was filled with guilt: "Thank God, I'm safe at last. If something happens to you, I, Zhou Xing, will be a big sinner."

Zhou Bao said: "Brother, what are you saying? What are you talking about? I, Zhou Bao, am a rough man, and there are others more dangerous than this. This is nothing. As long as my trip is not in vain, I will be worthy of Xingdi's trust. Don't talk about it. Come and take a look at Manlai. Something."

Zhou Xing opened the bag and saw the paper and ink. Although the paper was rough, it was thick, a thick stack of eight inches. There were a few ink cartridges and pens scattered nearby. Bao Bao was really tired, so he didn't say much, took the bag and went back to sleep.

Zhou Xing took out some paper, cut it into sixteen pieces with a knife, and packed away the swords and guns outside before going to rest.

The next day, Zhou Xing got up early and looked at the swords and guns. He was very happy: It was time to hold group training, and Zhou Bao got these weapons. Although they were not enough, they were good. beginning.

After breakfast, the children began to come to class. They were all in high spirits and handed Zhou Xing the chicken feathers they had picked as a treasure. By the time the children arrived, there were already a lot of chicken feathers of various colors on the table. Zhou Xing still gave lectures to the Mathematical Olympiad class first and reviewed in the key classes. Then arrange for Zhou Hui to teach new characters to the juniors. I ran back to the house, ground the ink, sharpened the chicken feathers with a knife, dipped it in the ink, and tried to write on the paper. Although the chicken feathers are too thin and difficult to grasp, the written characters are small and unique. Zhou Xing looked at them and felt proud for a long time. He thought to himself: "I don't know how to use calligraphy brushes. Let's use chicken feathers. The best hard-pen calligraphy in the Tang Dynasty. We are the pioneers." Grandmaster, hehe."

With paper and pen, Zhou Xing thought to himself. In this villa, except for himself, the child he just taught, he knew a few words. From now on, the affairs of the villa will be in accordance with the rules. It’s your own plan. Whether it’s the training of the Baojia team, the access to the public warehouse, or the division of the fields, you must be in charge of it. At present, there are few people and things are simple, and you can still cope with it. In the future, there will be more people in the villa., there are also a few assistants who can assist with accounting books. It seems that these disciples of my own need to be trained quickly. When the time comes, I will hand over these general affairs to them, so that I can concentrate on training, planning and development, and then I can break through. A world.

In the following days, while teaching, Zhou Xing took a few older disciples to follow him, and met with several family heads. First, he counted the population of each family, compiled a register, and counted the entire village. The old residents include the Zhou, Wang, Chen and Zhou clans, with a total of 47 households, and five single households with a total of 332 people. The new villagers have a total of 17 households with 83 people.

Zhou Xing and several family heads divided the village into Liujia according to the number of young men. Among them, the family heads Wang, Chen, Zhou Zhou, uncles Tuesday and Zhou, and the new man named Huang , named Huang Hai, was appointed as the commander of Liujia. Each family has a healthy population, and the ages of men and women are registered one by one. Then the land was measured and distributed according to the book, and recorded in the eucalyptus.

This public warehouse will be where the village’s major financial and food matters will be held in the future. Everyone unanimously elected Uncle Zhou to be the manager, and Zhou Xing took charge of the accounts. The new money and food relief was provided by the new Zhang Jiang, in collaboration with Zhou. The uncle and Zhou Xing handled it together.

The incoming and outgoing of money and grain is inherently cumbersome, plus the statistics and payments of each household, the measurement and registration of land, and the division of new land. It took more than ten days of busy work to complete.

Although the new villagers’ new houses are simple, they can provide shelter from wind and rain, and they also have food relief. People's hearts are at peace. When the new fields were divided, they couldn't wait for it. Every family would leave early and come back late to open up wasteland and plant crops according to the land boundaries. The whole village is a busy scene.

Zhou Xing also informed everyone that new villagers, regardless of their family conditions, all under the age of 11 will be sent to school to study. The newly arrived villagers had long heard about this plan, which was Zhou Xing's handiwork. They were both grateful and admired, and this request was of great benefit to them without any harm. There is no reason to be reluctant. As a result, seven or eight more children were added to the school. Looking at the growing team, Zhou Xing felt a little tired again, but he felt very comfortable seeing the children working hard every day. Under the leadership of several older children, they were eager for knowledge and extremely eager to learn.

Seeing that more than a month has passed, this method of protecting armor and public renting and public land, due to the simplicity of the villagers and the efforts of the heads of the families to help, despite the inconvenience and simplicity, Zhou Xing and all the armor leaders, We worked together and perfected them one by one. Now the operation of the three methods has gradually become regular and the rules are complete. In the villa, whether it is newly opened wasteland or old fertile fields, the crops are growing in excellent condition. The villagers looked at it and felt happy in their hearts. They must have a good harvest in two or three months. Life in the mountains should be worry-free.

On this day, after school, Zhou Xing asked Zhou Hui and others to notify several A-level leaders to go to the school to discuss matters after dinner. Several commanders knew that Zhou Xing had something to say to him, so they didn't dare to neglect him. After dinner, they came to the school one after another. Zhou Xing and Zhou Bao ordered Song Ming to sit down in the school hall and invited everyone to sit down.

As soon as Uncle Zhou sat down, he couldn't help it and said: "HusbandSon, the first three of the four methods you mentioned at the beginning have all worked. Why is there still no movement in this group training method? "

Zhou Xing smiled and said: "Second uncle, why should I be impatient? Today is not just for everyone to discuss this matter.

Uncle Wang and Huang Hai also smiled and nodded, saying: "After implementing these three methods, our villagers, whether they are new or old, are convinced and their hearts are at peace. We are really waiting to see the master." What are the rules for group training?

Zhou Xingdao: "This group training method is also to protect the land of our manor. We have drawn up some rules. Today we invite everyone to discuss them." ”

It turned out that although Zhou Xing knew the word regiment training, he didn’t know how it was organized. After thinking hard, he had to combine the little knowledge he knew about military training with the country soldiers of Wang Anshi of the Song Dynasty. The organization is combined with the organizational methods of militias and guerrillas seen in movies and TV in the past, and a set of different regulations has been developed.

This group has three levels of training: the first level is group bravery. All young people in the village aged 18 to 35 must participate. The regiments are classified according to Baojia. Every five people are in a team, and two teams are in a squad. There is a squad leader and a squad deputy. They are in charge of one squad for drills, and the squads are in charge of formations and battles. As a whole, the squad leader and squad deputy are separated on both sides, and the four squads are responsible for guarding the whole squad. There is one Du Zheng and Du Yong each, and two Du Yong are responsible for guarding the Du Zheng and Du Fu. One post, three posts above it constitutes one battalion, and three battalions constitute one regiment. There are currently few personnel, and the number of posts and above is temporarily undetermined, and will be discussed later.
