Everyone walked all the way to the north of the village and almost saw the ancestral hall of the village. Qin Ning suddenly smiled and pointed to a fork in front of him, saying, "Brother Zhao, look, someone is watching you over there!"

Qin Zhao followed Qin Ning's hand and saw a bright and charming figure.

Miss Xu's wife Xu Ming was wearing a big-sleeved shirt with a blue Hunan silk embroidered cotton jacket on the outside. She was sitting in the sedan chair pretty, watching Qin Zhao parading through the curtains of the sedan chair.

Qin Zhao was delighted, stopped his horse with a whistle, and hurriedly waved to Xu Ming.

When everyone saw Qin Zhao stopping to the fork in the road, they all looked in the direction of Qin Zhao. This was amazing, everyone was amazed by the bright face of the lady Xu family under the curtain.

Xu Ming was stared at by dozens or hundreds of people at once, and his face suddenly turned red.

She hurriedly put down the curtains.

Qin Zhao was about to ride over to talk to Xu Ming, but he saw that Xu Ming had already called people to get up the sedan chair and headed towards the village gate with few people in the north of the village, as if he was about to leave.

Qin Zhao was surrounded by excited crowds at this time, so it was difficult to chase Xu Ming. He rode on the horse, but he felt a little disappointed.

Zhang Lai, the patriarch of Zhangjia Village, came over and leaned over to Qin Zhaoma and said, "Brother Qin, do you know the actions of the thief?"

Qin Zhao was stunned.

According to Qin Zhao's historical knowledge, the Ming Dynasty was destroyed in the 17th year of Chongzhen. At the last moment, this dynasty was unable to properly manage the country and let the people have enough food, and did not need to surrender to the thieves, nor could it mobilize the country to resist the attack of the thieves, and it plummeted thousands of miles under the attack of the thieves in the northwest.

It is February 27, 17th, and I wonder where the thieves have been beaten?

Qin Zhao asked: "Where did the thieves attack?"

Zhang Lai took a long breath, his eyes turned blood red in an instant, and he said with great sorrow: "Yesterday, it was really bad news. The thieves have captured Taiyuan. The gang general Zhang Xiong surrendered to the thief and opened the door, and the thieves rushed in. King Zai-chan of Lujiang was killed, and the governor Cai Maode hanged himself. All of them were killed in battle from general Niu Yong and Wang Yongkui."

Qin Zhao looked ahead quietly and didn't say anything for a while.

In front were the bandits, the Qing Dynasty, and the Southern Ming Dynasty.

The most chaotic world is coming.

"Brother Qin!"

"Brother Qin!"

Zhang Lai called Qin Zhao in a low voice and pulled back the tranced Qin Zhao.

Zhang Lai bowed to Qin Zhao with his fists and said, "Brother Qin, if there are any more thieves coming to my Renhoufang in the future, we will still rely on Brother Qin to make the decision!"

This is a chaotic era.

Although a tiger was wiped out, God knows if a second tiger, a leopard, or a wolf will appear one day. In this chaotic world, it is almost impossible to pray for God's blessing to make his hometown free of bandits and thieves. The only thing Zhang Lai can rely on is a strong man like Qin Zhao who can suppress bandits and speak.

Qin Zhao looked at Zhang Lai and nodded.

Zhang Lai suddenly became happy and said to Qin Zhao: "Brother Qin, the north gate is in front of the village. We took a turn where we could not find the north gate and went to the ancestral hall to discuss matters."

With the admiring eyes around, Qin Zhao left the main road of the village, turned back from a small road, and entered the ancestral hall of Zhangjia Village. The patriarchs and the sermons of each village were already sitting there, whispering piles, waiting for Qin Zhao's arrival.

Qin Zhao walked into the ancestral hall, and everyone stood up quickly and let Qin Zhao sit down.

Zhang Lai said, "Everyone knows that since a tiger roared together in Renhoufang, all villages have relied on the village wall and organized the strong men in the village to defend. There are no village walls, only Huangjia Village and Qinjia Village. Huangjia Village was slaughtered in the village, and Qinjia Village broke through the enemy and won the victory under the command of Brother Qin, and took a tiger's nest."

"In the past two years, in order to resist a tiger, the villagers in each village have practiced some martial arts, and some have even become good at defending the city."

"However, now it is a chaotic world. If a tiger dies, there may be a gun or a knife. I will rely on Brother Qin to take a tiger this time, but what if the number of thieves next time is more? "

"So I think the villagers in each village should not be disbanded, but should join forces as the force of our Renhoufang."

Hearing Zhang Lai's words, the patriarchs of various villages applauded.

An old man named Cai Kexin took the lead and said, "Your sentence is well said. The current situation is that if you divide it, you will be dangerous, and if you combine it, you will be safe. If the villagers in Renhoufang can use it together, you will not be afraid of small groups of thieves. Even if hundreds of robbers attack us, all of our villagers will be able to fight, and we can still fight."

Old man Wei Ran knocked the crutch to the ground and shouted in a hoarse voice: "You're right!"

Zhang Lai said again: "In the past, each village was in charge of its own affairs. To put it bluntly, no one was convinced, for fear that the people from other villages would give up their flaws and let the villagers in their own village suffer."

"But now we have Brother Qin to make the decision. This time, Brother Qin hit the Yunfeng, and none of the village soldiers brought with him were lost. I heard that Brother Qin had the money afterwards and did not let anyone suffer any loss. Brother Qin is such a fair and capable strong man, who is the commander who is waiting for me."

"I suggest that if there are thieves coming to attack in the future, the attacked villages will be defended by the village walls. Other villages will gather under the command of Brother Qin and counterattack the thieves from outside. In this way, we will not be at risk of being defeated by each one."

When everyone heard Zhang Lai's words, they were silent for a while. Many village patriarchs looked at Qin Zhao and saw his reaction.

Qin Zhao knew that these patriarchs wanted to make themselves firefighters.

In recent years, various villages in Renhoufang have indeed trained some villager due to urgent needs. As Qin Zhao knew, there were more than 30 villager members in Zhangjia Village where Zhang Lai was located. In addition to taking care of their farmland, these more than 30 people were led by Zhang Lai to practice martial arts whenever they had free time. The village rewarded them with 80 kilograms of rice each month.

There are more than forty people in one village. Seventeen villages that were blackmailed by a tiger are probably hundreds of people.

If such a team is mobilized, it will have certain combat effectiveness.

However, everyone did not hand over this team to Qin Zhao, but only allowed Qin Zhao to command temporarily when there was a thief. The real power to mobilize troops was still in the hands of the patriarchs of each village.

This is a glorious chore.

However, Renhoufang is one, and one loss is all the same. In the 17th year of Chongzhen, Qin Zhao had to rely on all the powers that could be relied on in troubled times.

Qin Zhao took a breath and said, "Qin agrees with Mr. Zhang's proposal!"

"good!"

"good!"

"Very good!"

Hearing Qin Zhao's affirmation, the cunning clan leaders of various villages gave people a cheer. With Qin Zhao's words, Renhoufang's joint defense policy was formed. In the future, Renhoufang's defense ability will be doubled.

However, Qin Zhao thought more practical than these patriarchs.

When it comes to fighting robbers, how can the village soldiers who gather together randomly fight?

Qin Zhao looked at the bigwigs of the villages present and said, "But if these village teachers want to play a role, it is not enough to gather together during wartime. On weekdays, we should organize these village teachers to train their offensive and defensive arrays together, and ask the instructor to practice fighting skills. Otherwise, if we have never practiced together, how can we cooperate when we see thieves? Wouldn't it be a blow to collapse?"
