Lord National Teacher, please forgive me

Chapter 505 Ancient Farmer (17)

Qin Yi didn't kill all the guards, he just taught them a lesson, broke the eunuch's hands, and let them go.

Qin Yi saw that the fear on the faces of the people around him dissipated a lot, and was replaced by a look of relief. Presumably, the people had long been dissatisfied with the ruler of this country, but because of the suppression of the status level, the people had always been able to Swallow your breath.

It was rare that Qin Yi dared to stand up and resist. Although they were a little worried, they were more relieved.

After driving away the lackeys sent by the imperial court, Qin Yi and Feng Ling continued to arrange for labor as if they were all right.

The food problem has been temporarily resolved, but there is still a long way to go before the common people can eat well, so Qin Yi and Feng Ling posted a recruitment list to recruit talents from all walks of life.

Two months passed in the blink of an eye, and after Qin Shouren settled down in the south, he was a little worried about Qin Yi and his wife, so he sent them a letter asking how they were doing.

Qin Yi didn't say much, but said that everything was fine. As for those people in the court, after being driven away by Qin Yi, they provoked the court's wrath. They wanted to send troops to encircle and suppress them, but there were too many rebels. Suppressing this anger, thinking about settling this account later.

At the time of the autumn harvest, except for the area under the jurisdiction of Qin Yi and Feng Ling, the rest of the places were starving and dying, the land was barren, and the houses were empty. You beat me and I beat you from all sides. There are endless careerists, the emperor is incompetent, officials Corruption doesn't care about the lives of ordinary people at all.

What Qin Yi and Feng Ling can do now is to slowly accumulate strength. When the autumn harvest comes, Qin Yi and Feng Ling will also go to the ground to set an example. Unexpectedly...

"What? Tartar attack?"

Grassland Tartars come to the Grass Valley every year, especially in the past few years, when the Great Ice Age came, the northern grasslands became colder and the winter became more difficult. In order to survive, those Tartars had to come to grab the food of the people in the Central Plains.

Qin Yi looked at Xiaoshu, and asked in a deep voice, "How far is the Tartar from here?"

Xiaoshu's face was full of panic, and his tone was slightly anxious, "There is still half a day's journey."

After saying this, Xiaoshu bit his lips, looked at Qin Yi and said, "Brother Qin, why don't we leave here? Those Tartars are very cruel. They treat us Han people like cattle and sheep. They Just robbing women and food, men and old people will become their souls."

Qin Yi nodded, indicating that he understood, but...

The reason why Qin Yi and Feng Ling stayed was to save these people. As far as the Han family is concerned, if they escaped at this time, what's the point of their staying?Wouldn't it be more worry-free to go directly to the south in the first place?

Qin Yi looked at Xiaoshu, and then said, "We can't go, follow me to the arsenal."

Qin Yi stood up and said to Xiaoshu, "There is nothing to fear from the Tartars. Since they dare to come, I will let them come and go this time."

A strong murderous aura was released from Qin Yi's body, which made Xiaoshu, who was still a little nervous, suddenly regain his senses, and then slowly calmed down his nervous emotions, and his expression quickly calmed down.

Only then did Qin Yi nodded in satisfaction, and took Xiaoshu to the arsenal.

At the gate of the armory, Qin Yi met Feng Ling, Qin Yi walked to Feng Ling and whispered, "The Tartars are coming."

Feng Ling nodded and said, "I've heard that people in the city are panicking now, and I've asked people to lure people from outside the city into the city."

When Feng Ling said this, she looked resolute and said in a cool tone, "Since they dare to come this time, then don't leave."

Qin Yi nodded in agreement, and the husband and wife looked at each other, everything was kept silent, whoever advances first, the husband and wife are busy separately.

Xiaoshu watched the wooden boxes being carried out of the weapon arsenal, walked up to Qin Yi, and asked in a low voice, "Brother Qin, can these mines really blow up those Tartars?"

These landmines were researched by Qin Yi and Feng Ling, just in case, this is a troubled time, not only careerists, but also Tartars from outside the grassland.

Landmines are very powerful, and Qin Yi and Feng Ling use the best formula. For this world where gunpowder has not yet appeared, these weapons can be called big killers, and they may be the key to their victory.

Qin Yi said confidently, "You will know soon."

Seeing Qin Yi's confident face, Xiaoshu felt more at ease, and happily followed Qin Yi to the outside of the city.

Feng Ling asked Xiao Miao to arrange people to settle the people in the city, and selected some young and middle-aged people to go to the tower.

Half a day passed quickly, and Feng Ling soon heard the rumbling sound coming from the ground. At this time, Qin Yi and Feng Ling were standing on the city wall, watching the blackness in the distance like a dark cloud cover, towards this side The Tartar army galloping forward.

Those Tartars came very fast. They had two horses. The horses were tall and strong. Those Tartars howled like a ferocious beast. They looked at the city wall in front of them with greed in their eyes.

These Tartars stopped tens of meters away from the city wall, and then a middle-aged man who looked like Han came out on horseback, and shouted loudly at the city wall, "The people in the city are here!" I listen, His Royal Highness has an order, as long as you open the city wall and obediently donate gold, silver, jewelry and food, His Royal Highness doesn’t need to kill, and 1000 beauties will be required.”

Qin Yi and Feng Ling stood on the city wall, looking coldly at the Tartars below, while the people on the city wall were furious and cursed one after another.

The middle-aged man snorted coldly, feeling that the people on the city wall didn't know how to flatter him, so he said loudly again, "I'll give you an hour to think about it. If you don't agree, you'll capture the city gate at that time, and you won't seal the sword for three days."

If the sword is not sealed for three days, the meaning of this sentence is equivalent to massacring the city. When the people on the tower heard this sentence, many people's expressions changed drastically. I grew up in the fear of the Tartars, and I have heard from my elders that it is terrible to not seal the sword for three days and massacre the city.

Qin Yi and Feng Ling looked at each other, and the two asked people to move the bows and arrows and grenades that had been stored long ago to the city wall, so that the well-trained soldiers were ready to attack the Tartars, and gave the people in the city an hour to think about it, but Only half an hour later, Qin Yi and Feng Ling were ready.

Afterwards, Feng Ling and Qin Yi each held a dynamite bag in their hands. They looked at each other and lit the fuse. When the dynamite bag was about to explode, they threw it down the city at the same time, and the big dynamite bag fell into the Tartar army. .

It was the first time Tazi saw this kind of thing, and he didn't know what it was. He was just a little curious, and watched helplessly as the fuse was lit, and then exploded with a bang.

There was a rumbling sound, like thunder falling from the sky. The limbs and limbs of the Tartar army around the explosive package were flying, blood was splashed, and the horses neighed. Dozens of Tartars were killed without a sound. Those who were killed, people and horses fell to the ground, howling helplessly.

The Tazi army was stunned by this sudden change. There is no gunpowder in this world, and gunpowder is something unknown to them. In their eyes, this kind of weapon like thunder is like a thunder punishment from the gods. It's the power of the heavens, not something that can be resisted by humans, but the more they think about it, the more desperate they become.

Before they could calm down, the grenade fell like rain, crackling and rumbling, and the shock wave generated by the explosion was like a humanoid meat grinder, smashing everything within its range.

Seeing this scene, the people on the city wall felt a little scared, but when they thought that such a powerful weapon belonged to them, the group of murderous Tartars in front of them would strangle them effortlessly in front of such a weapon. It was minced meat, which made them rejoice.

Many people cheered, and the thunder-throwers trained by Qin Yi were even more excited. They seemed to have a sense of mission in their hearts. Looking at the powerless Tartars in front of them, their enthusiasm was high.

After all, the Tartar army was trained in the flames of war. Although it was a little flustered at first, after going through such a long time, some people quickly reacted, retreated one after another, turned and fled.

The first victory came so easily, the people on the city wall looked at the fleeing Tartars, and couldn't help crying. The Tartars on tall horses, holding long knives, harvested a human head, but they were powerless to resist.

Now the ones who were powerless to resist became the Tartars, and for the first time in their hearts, the idea that perhaps they could also defeat the Tartars came into their minds.

This victory has inspired everyone in the city. When talking about the Tartars, there is no longer fear in their eyes, but full of confidence.

The Tazi army was defeated and returned without the slightest gain. Even the prince was almost killed. The prince roared angrily in the big tent, and sent someone to quickly find out the weapons used by the Han army.

There were also Tartar spies in the city. They quickly found a mysterious weapon factory, but the weapon factory was surrounded by heavy guards. These people are just ordinary people, and they don't understand the situation inside the no period firm at all.

With this kind of weapon, the Tartars did not dare to attack easily, and Feng Ling and Qin Yi continued to expand their forces.

Qin Yi asked people to improve grain seeds, and built a lot of greenhouses in winter. Even, because too many refugees came and there was not enough food, Feng Ling and Qin Yi took turns leading teams to go deep into the grassland and desert, attacking the Tartars and robbing the Tartars of their cattle. sheep.

Those who followed Feng Ling and Qin Yi to attack were all young soldiers. With the repeated killings of Tartars, they not only trained the team, but also cultivated the self-confidence of these young soldiers.

Qin Yi not only let the arsenal make landmines and grenades, but also started to develop muskets, which are epoch-making weapons.

Unknowingly, three years have passed, the world is in complete chaos, and all the heroes are rising together. Qin Yi and Feng Ling's territory is also slowly expanding. Their territory is not considered the largest, only occupying two provinces, but the two of them The population of the province is the largest, the place is the wealthiest, and countless refugees come here upon hearing the news.

Qin Yi and Feng Ling paid lightly and paid little money, bought unowned land, or land owned by landlords, and distributed them to the public who left their names. The land is the fate of the landlords, and those powerful landlords will naturally not sell it.

Qin Yi and Feng Ling were good at persuading them at the beginning, hoping that these powerful landlords could understand the righteousness, but these powerful landlords, all of them are like vampires, how could they spit out the fat in their mouths, for Feng Ling and Qin Yi Yi's words were flattering on the surface, but secretly obeying and contradicting. Qin Yi finally got the killer and punished a group of them severely, so that these vampires were honest and gave up the land obediently.

The refugees have land and start to produce with peace of mind. In addition, the tax is not high. The food grown every year can't be eaten up and there is still a surplus. Some people start small businesses with a flexible mind, and they can often eat meat, which is more chaotic than the world. It's been better than before.

Qin Yi proclaimed himself king a few years ago, and the people in the two provinces kindly called him King Qin. Of course, there were also many literati who angrily denounced Qin Yi and Feng Ling as rebels, but they didn't care at all.

Wang Xiaoan came to Peach Blossom City two years ago. Wang Xiaoan's home is 500 miles away from Peach Blossom City. Since the chaos of the world, the people have been miserable. In order to survive with his family, Wang Xiaoan can only stay with the people in the village. escape.

But they don't know where to go at all, they only know to go to the capital, the emperor is in the capital, as long as they go to the capital, the emperor will not ignore them.

Many ordinary people held this simple idea and wanted to go to the capital with all their heart, but the journey was far away. On the way, they encountered rebels, and the rebels arrested them. They immediately became refugees again. Many refugees were used by these rebels as cannon fodder , When fighting, they are not even given weapons, they are only allowed to charge forward.

When the war ended, none of the refugees rushed forward. Wang Xiaoan and his family wanted to escape but dared not, and they didn't know where to go in their hearts. They lived like this for more than half a year. Wang Xiaoan's parents were old, Died on the way, leaving only him and his elder brother Wang Danian.

On this day, Wang Xiaoan was lying in the tent. It was rare that there was no war and he could have a good rest. Wang Xiaoan didn't want to do anything. Maybe he would die when the next war came. He just wanted to enjoy the present.

Suddenly the curtain of the tent was raised, and his elder brother Wang Danian came to Wang Xiaoan in a hurry, and said to Wang Xiaoan in a low voice, "Xiaoan, let's go to Peach Blossom City."

Wang Xiaoan looked at his brother in confusion, and asked, "Where is Peach Blossom City?"

Wang Danian immediately excitedly said, "I heard people say that the world is in chaos now, only Taohua City is the safest, the people there live affluently, the refugees will be allocated land there, and the tax is only [-]%."

Wang Xiaoan didn't dare to believe it, "It's impossible, how can there be such a good place in the world? Brother, are you afraid that you were deceived by someone?"

Wang Danian smiled wryly, "Many people say that, I don't know if it's true or not, but even if Xiao An dies, I still want to take a look."
