The winter was still cold, the snow rarely melted on the ground, and all the winter was piled up, and the whole land, the mountains, was white everywhere.On the outskirts of Ningyuan, the cave of Yongping Fort is dug in the south of the hillside, several layers up and down, horizontally arranged, occupying three or four mountain beams, and under the mountain beams, is the land cultivated by the people in the fort for generations.Originally, the top of the mountain beam was barren loess.Now, there are many shrubs and blades of grass on the loess, which is a camouflage hiding place for the lookouts arranged in the fort, which can not only hide the figure of the lookouts, but also hide from the biting cold wind on the mountain beams.Looking out from the hideaway disguised by bushes and blades of grass, you can see the avenue of the Wei River in the distance.After Wang Shuo's influence spread here, the people in the fort organized themselves and formed a militia to defend their homeland.Liang Min also set up women's self-help associations in various forts, participated in the propaganda of the new law on weekdays, advocated women's emancipation, opposed foot binding, and also processed food for Wang Shuo's army, making military uniforms and military shoes.Of course, in order to increase everyone's enthusiasm to join the self-help association, Liang Min is stipulating that the fortress will be paid more or less.In addition, in the event of an enemy invasion, the Self-Rescue Association is also responsible for organizing the evacuation of the old and weak in the fort.At about noon on this day, the militia on the loess beam of Yongping Fort ran down to report to the village chief that a group of soldiers came from the direction of the Wei River, went up the path to the fort, and looked at this side.The village chief in the fort is in his thirties and is elected by the villagers themselves.This person's name is Feng Qishan, who originally worked for the landlord Feng Baozhong's family on the hill in the middle of the fort, and also took care of the courtyard.Originally, there was no village chief in the fort, Feng Baozhong's family had the most land, and his words carried weight, and he made the decision on all the major affairs in the fort.Liang Min's team entered the fort to publicize the new law.People had long heard that the other fortresses belonged to Wang Shuo's benefits, so they followed suit.Feng Baozhong has been in charge for more than ten years, and has done a lot of good things for everyone, and has also done a lot of bad things, offended many people, and many people did not choose him when they chose the village chief.He didn't do it, and his long-term worker Feng Qishan became the village head.Feng Qishan is loyal, does not bully others with the prestige of the owner, sometimes the tenant can't pay the rent, and he also intercedes for others.In Yongping Fort, everyone trusts him more, and they like to ask him for everything.In fact, he can do some good things for everyone, and it also depends on the owner Feng Baozhong's conscience is not bad.It is a castle and an ancestor, but the gap between the rich and the poor, it is inevitable to be greedy for a little cheap, and most landlords will not be like the landlords in the eyes of modern people, and they dare to do the lack of virtue in the bones.Feng Qishan's parents died early, and they have been doing chores in Feng Baozhong's house since he was a child.Feng Baozhong is also passable to him, and he asked Mr.
Private School to teach his son, and by the way, he also asked Feng Qishan to accompany him, so Feng Qishan also knows a lot of words, so he is more knowledgeable than ordinary people, and it is reasonable for him to be the village head.Feng Qishan has an income when he becomes the village head.The new decree stipulates that the village chief is remunerated from the taxes paid by the village.Relying on this remuneration, there is no problem in supporting food and clothing, so Feng Qishan does not rely on Feng Baozhong to live a long life, but he usually lives in Feng Baozhong's house.Although a few caves were opened in the fort as the location of the village's discussions, called Gongyao, Feng Qishan also had the right to live there, but he did not move there.Feng Baozhong's only son went to Chahar to do tea and horse business, but he never came back from the war, and there was only a group of women and children left in the family.Feng Qishan couldn't bear to leave the owner alone, went to the public kiln to finish his business, or returned to the owner's house to live and help Feng Baozhong do some chores.At that time, no matter how rich the landlord was, there were few people who did not work for nothing.He was rolling the fodder for the cattle with the owner, and a few people in charge of the village came and told him that the soldiers had come.Feng Qishan lowered his head and thought for a while, then asked the militia captain: "How many people came?"
The militia captain replied: "More than a hundred, I didn't bring a spear or other heavy weapons."
Feng Qishan smiled and said: "He also looks down on our Yongping Fort too much, more than a hundred swordsmen dare to come to our big fort, purely looking for death" will arrange for people to eliminate the Shun soldiers.There are thousands of households in Yongping Fort, three or four thousand people, and it is no wonder that Feng Qishan does not take these soldiers seriously.Feng Baozhong on the side hurriedly stopped: "Wait" and then said to Feng Qishan, "Qishan, I don't think this is quite right
