At this time, in the camp of the chaotic people, all the leaders were arguing fiercely around Master Mu. These chiefs argued about nothing more than two points: one was that the county town now seemed to be a hard bone, so should it be gnawed; The other point is, if you want to gnaw it, then which leader's men should be sent to gnaw that hard bone?

The arguments went on and on, but Zuihou or Master Mu made a decision: he asked these leaders to draw out some of their men and gather them. Tomorrow morning, try to attack the county seat again.

The next day's attack, however, ended more quickly. When the assembled members of the Holy Spirit Society, holding shields made of door panels, cowered and felt under the walls. As soon as they showed themselves under their shields and tried to erect a ladder, they were bombarded with firearms.

Hearing the bombardment of firearms, all the members of the Holy Spirit Society were overwhelmed, they threw down the door panels and weapons in their hands, turned around and fled.

Even Wu Shigong, who was on the city wall, expressed his sorrow for the performance of these people in the Holy Spirit Society. You must know that Wu Shigong didn't have a lot of gunpowder, and just now Wu Shigong only used twenty guns to deal with the rebels of the Holy Spirit Society. So, not a few people were killed at all.

On the city wall, a few strong men carrying boiling gold juice (boiling dung water) wanted to use the gold juice to pour those chaotic people, but when they saw the chaotic people under the city wall, they disappeared at once. They immediately came to the brakes. They didn't let the gold juice burn themselves.

Although he was almost injured by mistake, the morale of the soldiers and strong men on the city wall was definitely high. Now, even the most inexperienced strong man can see that those chaotic people outside the county town are a group of rabble.

Since the second attack, the rebels have gathered in the camp and have never attacked the county again.

In this attack on the county seat, from beginning to end, Wu Shigong and they have not killed fifty rebellious people of the Holy Spirit Society. Moreover, Wu Shigong and the others did not have a hand-to-hand fight with these rioters at all.

But in this way, these rebellious people did not dare to attack the county seat. What's even more ridiculous is that the leaders of those rebellious people did not dare to organize these rebellious people to attack the county seat.

Master Mu in the camp of the chaotic people is at a loss. For the first time, he felt that his rebellion might not be so easy. However, now that his leaders were looking at him, it was not easy for him to act at a loss.

It was at this time that a piece of news rescued Master Mu from his predicament. The followers of the Holy Spirit Society hidden in Guide Mansion City sent news to Master Mu: Commander Zhao of Guide Guard took most of the troops of Guide Mansion City away. Now, the defense of Guide Fucheng is absolutely empty.

After hearing the news, Grand Master Mu swept away his sadness. He immediately gathered all the chiefs and asked them to lead their men to sweep the entire area around the county. Then, bypassing this county seat, he went directly to attack the city of Guide.

Then, the people standing on the city wall of the county saw that these chaotic people scattered like a swarm of wasps. Then, in the houses outside the county seat, puffs of scorched smoke rose. However, these rebels are also very knowledgeable, and they do not dare to approach the walls.

The rioters burned and looted all day. Then the rebels gathered in the camp and marched out in their entirety. However, the brigade of the rebels still did not dare to approach the city wall. They circled the city wall far away, made a great circle, and walked to the east of the county seat.

Seeing the back of a rebel disappear from sight, the walls erupted in continuous cheers. Even Qi County Ling raised his hands a little out of shape, constantly jumping.

Wu Shigong's mood was also very excited. Either way, it was the first battle he won. Although calling this a battle is somewhat insulting to the term "battle".

Wu Shigong couldn't help but feel excited, and he opened his mouth and sang. He sang the famous "Katyusha".

"Just as the pear blossoms are blooming all over the world,

There was a soft light veil floating on the river.

Katyusha stood on the steep shore,

…………”

Don't say that this famous song of the Great Patriotic War of the former USSR is really capable of singing the hearts of the victorious fighters. And the song is catchy. Soon, this "Katyusha" was sung all over the county.

Taking advantage of the gap, Li Lu attached himself to Wu Shigong's ear and asked curiously, "Cousin-in-law, who is that Katyusha?" ”

Wu Shigong blurted out, "Oh! Katyusha is the lover of the warrior who welcomes the return of the warrior. ”

"Oh!" Li Lu nodded. With the smile on his face.

Seeing that Li Lu seemed to be smiling very sneakily, Wu Shigong hurriedly explained: "That Katyusha has nothing to do with me!" ”

"Oh!" Li Lu's smile was even more sneaky. He showed Wu Shigong a tacit expression among men.

Wu Shigong glanced at Li Lu and thought, "This matter is getting darker and darker, you can think whatever you like." ”

However, Wu Shigong did not expect that the song "Katyusha" that he sang because of his interest would become an enduring song in this county. His story was also widely circulated by people in the county.

Since then, in this county, the stage name of the Qinglou Oiran has been permanently called Katyusha, and the night when this Oiran was elected, the first song she sang must also be "Katyusha".

After a period of carnival, under the advice of Wu Shigong and Qi County, everyone still did not relax their vigilance. They want to prevent these rioters from killing each other.

After two days of strict defense, at Wu Shigong's suggestion, Wu Shigong, Qi County Commander and Yao Yuanwai, the local gentry, held a meeting together. Unexpectedly, at the meeting, there was a fierce quarrel between these county leaders who had just been sincerely united. To be exact, it should have been Wu Shigong and everyone else who had a fierce quarrel.

Wu Shigong convened this meeting for two purposes: the first purpose was to let the gentry in the county town jointly sacrifice the young and strong people in the family, let them take off production to receive military training, and form a 500-member militia to protect the county seat. The support of the militia will be shared by these gentry. Of course, this militia is to be under the leadership of Wu Shigong.

The second purpose is that the more than 2,000 stone of grain and medicinal materials that were transported into the official warehouse and placed in the county government will be used as a thank you fee for Wu Shigong. Owned by Wu Shigong.

However, as soon as Wu Shigong proposed the first purpose, the local gentry outside Yao Yuanwai jumped up.

They had no opinion on Wu Shigong's idea of establishing a militia to protect the county seat. But if they were asked to give money and food, how could they be willing?

These gentry also had some enlightenment. This time, they are also going to give Wu Shigong some thanks. Moreover, they did not have any unrealistic ideas about the grain entering the official warehouse and the medicinal materials in the county office.

But in their thoughts, in the process of defending the county this time, Wu Shigong's strength was not great, at most he used a firearm to release a few shots, so at most, Wu Shigong was given three or five hundred taels of silver, and he could be sent away.

And now, Wu Shigong not only wants the young people in their family, but also asks them to provide money and food for these young people, which is simply a lot of extra expenses for them every year.

At the beginning, Qi County Ling sat on the side indifferently, and at most did not hesitate to persuade a few words. Qi County's idea is: I'm going to leave this county anyway, and I can't worry about this kind of thing.

However, when he heard Wu Shigong's words vaguely reveal that the grain in the official warehouse and the medicinal materials in the county government should also belong to Wu Shigong, he immediately jumped up.

Why? The grain in the official warehouse and the medicinal materials in the county government must be owned by the county magistrate of Qi County. Regarding this point, Qi County Ling and Wu Shigong had no room for negotiation.

However, no matter how much they quarreled, all of them did not walk away. Because they all know; Now between them, neither of them can do without each other.

Wu Shigong is thinking about these young men and materials. And the local gentry of Qi County Ling and Yao Yuanwai were afraid that if Wu Shigong's 25,000 households were in a hurry, Wu Shigong would leave the county with his soldiers. If those rioters get the news and come back and forth, then the fun will be great.

At the end of the day, zuihou is nothing more than a compromise. After repeated bargaining, Wu Shigong still reached an agreement with the local gentry outside Yao Yuanwai on the first point. The content of the agreement is:

In addition to Yao Yuan, these local gentry will sacrifice 300 young men from their families to form a militia group. However, the leader of this militia group can be sent by Wu Shigong, and Wu Shigong is also responsible for training. However, the small and medium-sized leaders of the vigilante will be locals.

And the grain in the official warehouse and the medicinal herbs in the county government (most of these medicinal materials are also from the pharmacies owned by these gentry) will be donated to the government and let the government dispose of it itself. In other words, let Wu Shigong and Qi County Ling decide how to distribute it.

As for the offerings of these young people after they are strong, this is how they are decided. The government will confiscate the land of the rebels in the county who participated in the rebellion. Half of it will be used as public land. The income from the public fields will be used as an offering for these young people.

Originally, the confiscated land would also be a big income for the county government. However, Qi Xianling thought that he was also leaving. So, on this point, he also reluctantly agreed.

After this round of confrontation was over, Wu Shigong and Qi Xian Ling invariably raised their teacups and took a sip of tea. They are all moistening their throats and preparing for the next round of confrontation: deciding the ownership of the grain in the official warehouse and the medicinal materials in the county government.

But at this moment, a sudden news brought the meeting to an abrupt end. A small official ran from the city of Guide, and he was hoisted into the county seat from the city wall of the county town by a hanging basket.

What is surprising is that this little official sent a letter to Wu Shigong. When this little official, panting, ran into the county office, he collapsed to the ground at once, and shouted to Qi County Ling and Wu Shigong, who were sitting at the top: "Two adults, the city is in an emergency, go to the rescue!" ”
