Chapter 60: Robbers
Zheng Zhilong pointed at Liu Xiang's head and said, "Liu Xiang, didn't you say you wanted to kill me? Whoever kills anyone now! It's you Liu Xiang, not me Zheng Zhilong! I, Zheng Zhilong, live much better than you! You are just a rat crossing the street and everyone shouts to beat you! You poor worm! Fight with me Zheng Zhilong? You don't have the ability yet!"
As soon as Zheng Zhilong finished speaking, he immediately took out the bow and arrow, and shot an arrow at Liu Xiang's head, hitting Liu Xiang's forehead. Zheng Zhilong suddenly felt very happy and comfortable.
Zheng Zhilong turned around and left. What he thought to himself was: "Zhang Biwu! You are so amazing! Look at your battle in the Inland River in Guangzhou and the Battle of Humen Fort in Dongguan, you won the victory with your outstanding courage! When Liu Xiang fled, if it weren't for your crazy pursuit and the determination to swear to take Liu Xiang's head, Liu Xiang would not have died!"
"Zhang Biwu, you are such a talented person! Your future is bound to be limited, and your relationship with Sen'er is good, which is also good for our Zheng family! It's equivalent to our Zheng family making a long-term investment! It's best if you can invest in my Zheng family in the future!"
Zheng Zhilong thought about it, but he knew that it would be difficult to join the Zheng family army.
Zheng Zhilong jumped onto the war horse, twitched hard, and said, "I have to rush back to Fujian in front of Sen'er! I can't let people know that I came to Guangdong to verify whether Liu Xiang is really dead! When Sen'er returns to Fujian, he will worship Zhihu and comfort him in the sky! His enemy Liu Xiang is indeed dead!" Zheng Zhilong ran back to Fujian...
Lin Xiangfeng took Zhang Biwu into Guangxi. Zhang Biwu wanted to go to Guilin and Wuzhou because he knew that the Qing army would invade Guilin in the future. Wuzhou was the refuge of Guifan. These were important towns in Guangxi. Zhang Biwu traveled, and he also wanted the Qing army to go south in the future. King Fu, Longwu, Yongli and others all rose to fight against the Qing Dynasty. At that time, Guangxi was the final foundation! I have to understand something.
As for where to choose as his foundation, Zhang Biwu already has an idea, that is, the area around Lu's county. Of course, this is just Zhang Biwu's initial idea, and he has not confirmed it. He still needs to see if this place can be relied on in the future.
During his time in Guangxi, Zhang Biwu also knew that the wolf soldiers were really difficult to control. It was really difficult for him to use them! Now Zhang Biwu is only a military officer in the Ming Dynasty. Besides, the Ming Dynasty has not yet destroyed his country, so he does not have such great ability and appeal.
In fact, the whole country of Ming Dynasty was not safe, and bandits were rampant everywhere. However, not far from where they were, the government launched a suppression of bandits, but this time the government suppressed bandits would cause trouble to Zhang Biwu and the others.
Zhang Biwu and Lin Xiangfeng missed their trip because of heavy rain. Then they saw that it was getting late and there was another small mountain village in front of them, so they joined the small mountain village. Coincidentally, there was a foreigner selling oil in the village.
This small mountain village has not been invaded by robbers for many years. Because it is not far from the official road, it is safe and it is not even built in a village wall. But I didn't expect that this time there were robbers coming! The villagers outside discovered it first and quickly warned.
What a coincidence! When Zhang Biwu arrived here, he thought there was no big disaster, and there were robbers again, so there was another battle to fight.
There are very few people in this small mountain village, less than one hundred people, and they have not experienced robbers for many years. This time, I was shocked when I encountered a sudden disaster, so everyone was worried about being afraid.
There were only more than twenty young and strong men in the village gathered together. The people who stayed in this village include Zhang Biwu, Lin Xiangfeng and an oil dealer selling oil. They naturally had the responsibility to gather together to protect this small villa. But how to protect it?
At this moment, something unexpected happened! A fire broke out in several villages in front of the village! It was raining heavily. Although it rained in the morning, the house was still burning very strongly! After all, the autumn is high and the things are dry! Who set the fire on the house? Did the robbers attack and set the fire?
The villagers gathered here and saw an oil dealer selling oil on fire. He poured his oil into several houses in front of the village. The houses immediately burned and the fire soared into the sky!
Because the mountain road at the entrance of the village was rugged, the houses were burned, and he also blocked the way with trees in advance. After the fire was burned, the road to the village was immediately blocked, and the robbers had to change another direction to enter the village.
The villagers couldn't help but shout: "It's that foreigner! It's him, he set the fire! Catch him!" The villagers held the lotus forks and hoes and shovels at the oil dealer.
The oil dealer didn't care, and he shouted, "Do you know? At this critical moment, you are not prepared at all. If the robber suddenly rushed into the village, you will all die! All the people in the village will die here! I know that I set fire without the owner's consent, but if I don't use thunder means, then all the people in the village will have no way to survive!"
A villager shouted: "Don't listen to his arguments! Take him down! When the robber is defeated, he will be sent to the official position and you must compensate for the losses!"
The oil dealer was not afraid at all. He sternly said, "You send me to the government, yes! But today you have to listen to me! As long as you listen to me, I can repel the robbers! Now the robbers take a detour to attack the village, giving us time! Depending on the situation, there are not many robbers, at most forty or fifty people. Although we only have more than twenty young and strong men, we are defending our homes and can defeat them! Repel the robbers, you can do whatever you want to do to me!"
Someone said, "Bah! He may be the robber's inner supporter, he is here to deceive us for the robber!" The villagers distrust the oil dealer.
The oil dealer shouted: "Okay! You can bind me and take my life at any time, but I just want to tell you to do what I said and you will succeed! And I can't escape. If you catch me, you can be safe! If you send me to the government, you can get compensation for these houses in the future!" The oil dealer looked righteous and he was not afraid at all.
Zhang Biwu was surprised at first sight. Is this oil dealer really interesting? He couldn't help but think of himself again. Zhang Biwu felt that the oil dealer had some connection with him.
But the villagers ignored it at all, and they still wanted to catch the oil dealer. Even if the rope was put on the body, the oil dealer still had the color. He said, "Everyone, listen to me, I have already told the old man in your village. If you listen to me, you can ensure the safety of the entire village!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw three old men coming quickly. They were out of breath, and they brought gongs, drums, and firecrackers. One of them didn't care about breathing and said in an authoritative tone: "Listen to him!" The old man was the oldest in the village. When he spoke, the villagers had to obey.
The oil dealer said: "Because the fire at the entrance of the village was cut off, the robbers were afraid that the entrance of the village had been tightly arranged, so they could only take a long way to the village and attack. You immediately split the route and take the shortest route to ambush the grass. When the robbers appeared, they kept burning firecrackers and shouting. The elderly, women and children in the village were also shouting. As such shouts came everywhere, the robbers would not dare to force themselves into the village!"
