In another era, Chen Mu had been to Qingyuan, and he had a college roommate of the Bai clan who took him there to the Bai clan ancestral hall in Shuidong. In his verbal bombardment, Chen Mu remembered the ancestors of the Bai clan who he had ** worshipped. The first in the Ming Dynasty was Bai Tingyong in the Hongwu period, awarded General Zhaowu, Fujian Guard Commander, Shiyin Qingyuan Wei 100 households; The second place in the Ming Dynasty was Bai Yuanjie, the governor of Tongzhi, the commander of Guangdong, the commander of Shiyin Qing Yuanwei, who was famous in Lingnan for his courage and good fighting, and then went north to resist the Japanese to participate in the Battle of Luliang, burning more than 100 Japanese ships, and wrote a glorious stroke in the merit book.

The current Bai Yuanjie is Chen Mu's top boss above the general flag, Qingyuan Wei Baihu. He is almost as young as Chen Mu, but he has a good family background in his memory, but he has a good family background and a good family education, but he is much better than these poor military households! In Chen Mu's eyes, this is a golden thigh that will not sink and is close in front of him!

The thighs are not difficult to hold, the difficult thing is how to discover the potential to become thighs when the thighs are still thin. This most difficult process was skipped by Chen Mu, who was familiar with the cusp of the storm, and naturally his mood was boundless.

Shao Tingda was puzzled by Chen Mu's joy, but then the question was brought by Chen Mu, and he asked him about the situation in his hometown. Shao Tingda, who was just over twenty years old, was really much older than this age, even though he was powerful and powerful, he sighed again and again, and his face was sad like an old farmer who had broken the harvest, especially when he mentioned his hometown.

"This year, thousands of miles of police have been reported along the coast, and this is even more true of our Moon Port." Shao Tingda raised his dirty fingers and scratched his hair a little anxiously, looking extremely uneasy, "I heard that General Qi won the battle in Fujian, but no letter came, this is not in a hurry!" ”

Yuegang, Chen Mu's mother's Shao clan is in Yuegang, Fujian, and the whole village is surnamed Shao, saying that it sounds good to be a farming and reading heirloom, but Chen Mu's memory only has the patriarch who should be called his grandfather in terms of seniority is a decent and generous scholar, but none of the uncles of the descendants have become successful in reading, most of them are farmers or businessmen, there are butchers and merchants, but the living standards are mostly average. For example, Shao Tingda's father used to be a farmer, but later because of a whipping method that hurt the farmers, he sold his family land to open a pharmacy. There are also public servants in the clan - Japanese servants.

Chen Mu came over to know that the Japanese pirates or Asian pirates of this era were actually Ming people in the main body, and most of them were poor coastal families or serious maritime merchants engaged in trade before the sea ban, and most of them became pirates who were also thieves and merchants after the sea ban. Due to the ease of trade and the frequent wars in Japan during the Warring States period, they were entrenched on the islands around Nagasaki, hired wandering samurai who had lost their daimy, wore Japanese costumes and used Japanese warships, so they were called Wako.

Kou is the real Kou, but the Kou may not be the real Kou.

To some extent, this also affected the strangulation of the imperial court on the Japanese Invaders, the villagers and clans were related to each other, the Japanese Invaders came and went like the wind along the coast, and the guards were unwilling to fight with their strength to fight, and they could not avoid ventilating and reporting the news, and the Japanese Invaders occupied the right time and place, but the imperial army was not popular in the countryside, even if the guards were not so lax in military discipline, they would definitely lose more and win less.

Therefore, for Shao Tingda, it is not good for Shao Tingda to win, and some relatives and brothers will die; It's not good to be defeated, and it's not a good thing for the Japanese to wander; If you don't suppress it, it's even worse, the pirates will harm the township.

Since it's not a good thing anyway, I simply don't think about it, just like an ant on a hot pot, anxiously waiting for a message.

The brothers were chatting in the house, and they heard the chaos outside the house, and a teenager ran and shouted from far and near, "Chen Xiaoqi, Chen Xiaoqi!" Hundreds of households have an order, convene the flags! ”

Listening to the voice, a half-sized boy who looked even more depressed than Shao Tingda pushed open the door of the house, poked his head out of his head with a little frightened but his eyes widened with irrepressible excitement, his thin clothes did not protect against the cold wind in the spring moon, and his fingers were red and swollen like small radishes, and he held his knees and gasped for two breaths, and then he said loudly: "The old cripple has been caught!" ”

This half of the eldest son is the 'five and a half' people under Chen Mu, who is not as tall as a two-handed sword, and his name is Wei Balang. His father is the old flag of the guard, he killed people in the township in his early years, and was confiscated as a prisoner, and he didn't read and didn't know how to name it, because he was the eighth child called Hachiro, and the first seven died early, and the official mother-in-law also went crazy, and he died of illness not long after giving birth to him, and he thought that this frail and sick Hachiro couldn't survive, but he didn't think that his father was still alive when he died, and as the only remaining member of the military household, he was used as a regular ding.

"The old cripple has been caught, Brother Mu." Shao Tingda looked at Chen Mu with wide eyes, with horror in his eyes, but his tone was a sigh, "This is the third time he has escaped!" ”

No one knows what the old lame's real name is, he is not under the same general banner, and he is not familiar with each other, only that he was exiled to Qingyuan before he was a military household in Guiyang Mansion. Tusi did not dare to fight when he rebelled, became a deserter, and was arrested before he escaped far, and was punished with eighty rods according to the Ming law, and continued to serve; It didn't take long for him to recover from his injuries and escape a second time, and he was punished with a hundred rods and exiled to Qingyuanwei, the Guangdong Prefecture.

Chen Mu still has in his mind the memory of the old lame man when he was first escorted, the wound on his lame right leg was inflamed and maggots due to the hot weather in Lingnan, and he lay down for several months and did not die, and he escaped in the previous paragraph, but how far can he escape, a lame man who is nearly half a hundred years old?

"The third time-" Chen Mu muttered in his mouth, his heart beating loudly in his chest, even if he knew that he would have to face such a scene sooner or later in this era, but it was just a matter of course, and he really didn't know that he was not fully prepared after all, "Ming Lu, desert three times, hanged!" ”

Shao Tingda and Wei Balang seemed to be accustomed to this kind of thing, and Balang informed Chen Mu, and trotted to call the other military households. Under Shao Tingda's waiting, he changed into an armored mandarin duck jacket and a waist knife, and Chen Mu took the lead in a blink of an eye. When he arrived at the martial arts arena belonging to their hundred households on the edge of the guardhouse, there were already thirty or forty people standing scattered, and the scattered queue could not attract his attention, Chen Mu paid all his attention to the people on the wooden platform erected in the martial arts arena.

The man was called an old cripple in the guardhouse, and he looked like he had been severely beaten when he was captured, and he knelt on the ground with a cloak and a rope tied to his body. Next to him, the young military attache who was wearing gorgeous cloth and iron armor and read out the disposition order was Bai Yuanjie, a tall and sturdy figure, with a single knife on his waist, his cheekbones protruding, and his voice was loud.

In addition to the two of them, there were also a few Bai clan soldiers around, both in terms of their fierce body shape and bright armor, they were far stronger than the guards below.

Chen Mu stood in front of the team, leading the six bannermen under his banner, looking at the high platform with his eyes high, even if he was close, he couldn't hear what Bai Yuanjie was reading, everything in his field of vision lost color in an instant, he couldn't hear anything except his pounding heart, he just breathed with a slight mouth, but it made his mouth even more dry.

As the lasso was solid on the old lame's neck, the bound man suddenly tossed like crazy, Bai Yuanjie waved his big hand, someone pulled off the wooden chips, and the plank under the old lame's feet was hollow, and the rope hung him in the air. In just a while, the bloody legs twitched a few times at the corners of the cotton pants, the neck was crooked, and all the voices and colors seemed to crash into Chen Mu's world again.

"Vomit ......"

He heard the low and high-spirited pouring sound from the mouth of the old lame man after his death, and came back to his senses, Shao Tingda was used to it, and chuckled in his ear, "The old lame man is not bad, hey, it's a pity!" ”

Chen Mu turned his head suddenly, and half of his neck was on his side face, and the cold hairs stood up. Turning back and raising his face, the dazzling sunlight made him feel cold all over his body, Bai Yuanjie's glance finally stopped on his face, and when he met his gaze, Baihu grinned, and in his miserable smile, his white teeth were exposed.
