Chapter 173 The thief is arrogant

"Boom..."

The sound of hooves rolled, the people were panicked and cried, scattered and flew everywhere. The sound of hooves became closer and closer, and finally, the tide of horses seemed to spread over.

"Tread..."

I don’t know how many horse hooves stepped on the dust of rammed earth, stirring up a large scattered dust. The waves of the horses in the inner horse were like iron flowing, and mixed with countless white air spurted out by the breath of the people. If the wind and rain suddenly came, it gave people a thrilling and irresistible feeling.

They didn't know how many of them were, and the sound of their hooves was like thunder coming from the sky, and finally resounded.

In the sound of the hoof, it seemed that the road surface of the official road would be covered by dust. Then, countless flags appeared in the dust, including "Zhuang", "Luo", "Li", "Yuan", "Wang", "Yang" and other general flags, and blockbusters.

The horse knights were all fierce and fierce, "breaking" inside, "Li" and "Yuan" were mostly blue-clothed horse thieves, while "Yuan", "Wang", "Yang" and other people were mostly red-clothed horse thieves, but without exception, they were all wearing cloaks, felt hats or headscarves.

They are skilled in equestrianism and are like flying horses. The second is that they can also be skilled in the wild ride. Most of them reach the third stage of equestrianism, riding horses and slashing.

Some elites wear cotton armor, carry horse bows, and may even ride and shoot.

They rushed in, and each rode his horse wildly, and from time to time he screamed loudly. The people on the official road cried, and some people who could not dodge were knocked down like that, and then they stepped by with their horse hooves, and the surging horse team behind them followed.

Those who were knocked over, regardless of gender, age, were stepped on the official road into piles of things that were fuzzy in flesh and blood.

"The thief is here."

"The thief is here..."

Countless people cried and the official road was frightened. Many people didn't even have time to pick up pots and bowls, so they dragged their children and took their little ones to escape down the official road.

The large group of people was still rushing, and the horses were running straight through the Baishanyi section, surging murderous intent, heading towards Suzhou.

But in the thieves, some small groups of raids were occasionally hunting for them.

Under the big banner of "Chuang", "Li", "Yuan" and other generals also heard a young, cold command voice:

"The news cannot be leaked. The people along the way can be killed by all the people who can be covered with threats, and they cannot be killed by all the donkey balls. Let the horse team continue and take advantage of their unpreparedness to take Suzhou!"

The official road was endless, and the ground was shaking violently. At least thousands of horses were surging by. In the distance, large numbers of infantry came in line.

Although their bows, arrows, swords, shields, spears and firearms are not as elite as horse thieves, they still have strong murderous aura on their bodies.

Their team also carries some artillery. Although they are all small gun wolves and cannons weighing at most one pound, they are also artillery.

Then, after the infantry, there was a huge team of hungry people, driving cattle, mules, carriages, and horses, carrying people on their shoulders, and carrying baggage like a tide.

They looked numb and just staggered to follow. From time to time, the paths on both sides of the official road and the people who were driven over came one after another, and with helplessness, they became part of the trapped people.

They have no power to resist at all, and they cannot live or die.

On both sides of the official road, there are many roaring and galloping horse teams, and patrol the patrol to prevent anyone from falling into the grass.

No matter what the reason for the escapee, there is only one result in the end, that is, the production.

These horse teams are also responsible for the task of collecting and threatening the people. For example, after the people on Baishanyi fled, many horse teams chased them, either killing or threatening them.

Then soon after, most of the fleeing people were captured and driven away, and they were brought into the thief behind them.

Some people who are unwilling to follow the thief are killed on the spot without any mercy.

In front of a small weed, a man wearing a ragged cotton pellet with a straw rope around his waist looked at the sky with no eyes. Blood kept flowing out of his mouth and nose, and his sword and spear wounds were repeatedly wounded, and blood was flowing. He was not far from death.

It was just that his tenacious vitality made his body twitch from time to time, and he had not stopped his last breath.

Not far from the grass next to him, his wife also plunged into a pool of blood, half of her neck was split open, and she was already dead.

However, the two of them were unwilling to follow the thief and knew that the result was that they were forced to dig trenches and fill in the trenches during the siege. In the end, they became one of the many corpses in the ravines, so they ran away desperately.

But how can human legs run better than horse legs?

When the two saw the thieves chasing the horses, they bravely fought against the 65th horse thieves in order to make their young children escape.

The result is of course self-evident.

And their children also did not escape. They were only a few dozen steps away from him. The man's two children, one man and one woman, two children of seven or eight years old, were already trampled to death by horses, and the boy's brain was stepped out.

The blood on the trail was mixed with white objects, which was shocking.

The little girl was even more miserable. She was stepped into a pile of bloody flesh, and her internal organs and intestines were flowing all over the ground.

The remaining little face was filled with incomparable fear and pain.

"Your mother is so mad. If you dare to resist the rebels, you will die!"

Several thieves left cursingly, the man's eyes were still wide open, and the miserable screams of his children before their death were particularly in his ears, and blood and tears slowly flowed from his eyes.

I just want to take my family to survive.

He remembered that when he fled, he had just learned that the bandits had captured Luyi and Bozhou, but there was still Yongcheng in the middle, why did he suddenly appear in Suzhou?

If I had known it, I would have taken my family to escape.

When he was exhausted, the man still felt extremely regretful.

"The thief killed people, and used beans to fill their belly and ate them with horses. The horse was fat and flew. It traveled 300 miles a day and night. If you want to break the distant city, the near city would pass by but not attack. When the distant city was broken, the troops would first be transferred to take the near city. The farthing one said that the near city had not been reported to be broken, and it would not come over it, and it would often be unprepared. The near one said that the thief had passed by and should not be strictly guarded. Therefore, the thief would take advantage of the unintentional situation and take them both, and the plan would be cunning!"

The official road was still filled with smoke and dust. The bandits in Suzhou and Lingbi were not seen in front of them or in the back.

There was obviously more than one team advancing east, and there were also a large number of bandits, who walked down the Wo Water to capture Mengcheng, Huaiyuan, Wuhe and other places.

There were smoke everywhere, crying everywhere, and corpses were repeatedly lying in the wilderness.

On February 17, the 15th year of Chongzhen, the Li and Luo coalition forces broke into Xiangcheng, and the three-sided governor Wang Qiaonian died. He captured Chenzhou again and took advantage of the victory to Guide, and went down seven days. He then led his troops out everywhere, Xiping, Shangcai, Suiping, Luyi, Bozhou, Huoqiu and Lingbi were all captured.

He even crossed the Huai River and captured Xuyi City on the southern bank.

This month, the Qing army captured Songshan on the 18th, and Ningyuan's powerful troops were all destroyed.

There were Tartars outside and thieves inside. The Ming Dynasty was worried about internal and external troubles, and the storm was rife.

...

On the sixth day of the second month of the 15th year of Chongzhen, Yang He personally organized a spring plowing ceremony and built a grass factory beside Xin'anzhuang, and set up a plaque of Emperor Tianhou. Yang He was not an atheist. He believed in Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism and Sinology. He believed that there were gods and heroes in the world.

Otherwise, how can I explain that he was inexplicably in the Ming Dynasty?

On that day, not only the plowing team, but also the villagers all came out. Following the opera troupe invited from Pizhou City, they were playing and beating all the way, happily carrying paper-based spring oxes, plowing pulverized oxes, etc., throwing rice, wheat, soybeans, and onto paper-based oxes, hoping for a bumper harvest in the new year.

After walking around the farm, the paper-made spring ox was carried to the grass factory. Yang He led the leader to worship the emperor and the earth tablet of the queen of the emperor, made a wish, and then personally supported the plow, performed a trial plow to plow the field, indicating that the spring plow began.

The people from all villages sang together: "The autumn plowing is deep, the spring plowing is shallow. The spring plowing is like turning cakes, and the autumn plowing is like digging a well. The spring plowing is one inch deep, and you can carry manure. The spring plowing is unwilling to be busy with spring plowing, and your face is yellow after autumn. The plowing is good and harrowing is good, but the crops are not growing. The crops do not recognize their fathers and mothers, and they cultivate more grains in a good manner..."

Yang He ordered a big meal, and then after that, Xin'anzhuang began to be nervous about spring farming and reclamation.

There are more than 500 people in the farmland team, divided into two groups, one group to take care of the sorghum land in Xin'anzhuang, with 9,600 acres, and you can harvest it in summer.

Judging from the momentum of this crop, it is estimated that it will be about 7,000 stones by then.

Then the rest moved to Jiaoshan Villa, continued to reclaim land, built water conservancy, burned wasteland, leveled, drained water and washed salt, and transported a large amount of lime to stir, balanced acid and alkali, and killed insects.

The water conservancy team's projects also urgently followed, digging and repairing ditches for diversion and drainage, irrigating fields, and building culverts for ditches by the ditches by Baima Lake.

After the 12th, 13th, and 14th, after the strange drought in Chongzhen, there was still a lot of rain this spring, and the amount of water on Baima Lake was enough to irrigate all the newly reclaimed fields around.

All work teams also need to hurry, because it is almost mid-May of the lunar calendar, which is the key to rice planting. Then, in the eighth and nineth month of the lunar calendar, around the cold dew, it is also the best time for winter wheat sowing.

Of course, whether rice can be grown in mid-May depends on how the phosphate fertilizer is processed. Otherwise, it will be used as a fat field. Generally, the first year of land reclamation is considered a raw land, and the crop harvest is very touching, and Yang He will not place all his hopes here.

At present, he still has channels to buy grain. He is not so urgent whether the fields have harvested.

The road work team also continued to build roads. If there was insufficient stone, they would set up roadbeds first and take soil to build rammed earth roads. A road that is about four meters wide and a drainage ditches, if a team of 500 people would build a rammed earth roadbed, it would take about three or four days.

It takes about three months to get from Jiaoshan Villa to Xin'an Village and to the market for more than 30 miles.

The roadbed is built with convenience. When the stone is sufficient, then the gravel and bluestone slabs are laid.

A bluestone road can be completed in about half a year.

If there is no accident, this road is also a small first-class highway under Yanghe.

In the future, road construction will basically be secondary highways and gravel roads.

Xin'anzhuang has entered a stage of vigorous development and has made great efforts. The villagers of the village saw it and were happy. Although the stock of 100,000 taels of silver and 10,000 s of grain in this case were all put into the basic budget, the villagers of the village were not worried.

They all believe that the Yang Guild will solve the problem of money and food for the next year, and it will be like on the way to escape. Everyone saved grain, rice and silver from scratch. After arriving at Xin'anzhuang, the silver was also tens of thousands of taels and tens of thousands of taels of taels of money. After spending the money, Yang Gong must have a solution.

Moreover, Xianggong Yang is not spending money randomly, but is doing business in real life. Everything is for the villagers to live a better life in the coming year and make travel more convenient.

No one is born to like walking on muddy roads. Why not do it if you walk on bluestone roads? In the future, Xin'an Zhuangzi will also become a place of peach blossoms, making their homes a better place. Everyone has nothing to worry about.

To be honest, this generation of Zhuangmen is full of gratitude. They fled all the way, crawled out of the dead, and lived in a place where they could stutter.

Most of them have also witnessed Yang He's various magical powers. Yang Xianggong's image of descending to the earth and being able to do everything is unforgettable in the hearts of everyone. The higher the level, the deeper the impression. Therefore, Yang He is extremely authoritative at this time and can be said to be the only one among the people of the village.

The system he sets is also very reasonable. Although it includes food, accommodation and canteens, it is not treated the same as lazy people and diligent people. It also has a hierarchy and reward system. It makes people see that climbing up is wrong and it is a way to rise.

Therefore, the people of Xin'anzhuang at this time were positive and optimistic and full of vitality.

Everyone is working hard to make their lives better and their homes safer.

...

Xin'anzhuang has entered a busy stage of development, with all kinds of agricultural and labor chores, and Yang He has personally trained during this period.
