Zhao Shanyue's face turned red with anger, and he was unable to respond to Qiu Biao's plausible words.
"Second Village Master, what you said is easy. What can we do to resist? This time the imperial court will mobilize a large army to suppress the border. Maybe there will be an army of 100,000 or 80,000 people coming. We have more than 3,000 troops in the village.
What are you using to resist?" Ma Mingde, a veteran of the cottage industry sitting on the left, couldn't stand it anymore and shouted in a deep voice.
Ma Mingde was a gangster on the Guanxi Road when he was young. He was arrested by the court and had no choice but to defect to the Guishan Island village. He was once the most powerful soldier of the old village leader Gao Yuankui. However, his left leg was cut off in a battle, so he became disabled. Now he is disabled.
Do some logistical things in the village.
"How to resist? These words coming from your mouth, Ma Mingde, are really surprising. When soldiers come, they will be blocked, and when water comes, they will be blocked. This is the answer I give you. I know you will definitely say something like "we are outnumbered and the enemy is outnumbered". But
When the officers and soldiers invaded before, did we not attack more with less? What did we rely on? It was united efforts and the right time, place and people. Hongze Lake is our territory. When the officers and soldiers came in, they entered the gate of hell. There is a checkpoint on the water.
Our brothers can harass enemy warships on the lake. And the terrain on the island is even more difficult for one man to block and ten thousand men to stop. While you old people are basking in the sun and drinking in the main village, I, Qiu Biao, have no time to spare.
Now. The defensive fortifications, arrow towers and bunkers around Guishan Island have been built many times stronger than before. The entire island is as strong as an iron barrel, and the officers and soldiers must not even think about attacking the mountain."
Qiu Biao took a breath and continued: "Not only that, during this period of time, I have ordered the outpost camp to recruit troops. As of yesterday, more than 900 heroes from all over the country have come to join the camp. At present, the strength of our camp has been
There are more than 4,000 people. These 4,000 people rely on strong fortifications and arrow towers, which can stop 100,000 officers and soldiers. There is ample material in the stronghold, and relying on strong defenses, our stronghold can be defended for a year or two without any danger. However, the officers and soldiers of the imperial court can
Will my little copycat take a year or two? Brothers, if I had known that many people were dissatisfied with me, Qiu Biao, they would have criticized what I, Qiu Biao, did. But I, Qiu Biao, am devoted to the copycat, and I dare not say that I have worked hard for it.
, but I will never let down the expectations of the big village master and the old village master. If someone thinks that I am not doing things well, what if I give up my position as the second village master?"
"Second Village Master, you can't leave the village alone, the brothers are counting on you."
"Yes, the second village leader is busy working for the village every day. Some people rely on their seniority to do nothing every day but criticize and slander him. Isn't this chilling?"
"Second Village Master, anyone who can't get along with you is going to have trouble with us. The Dazhai Master will never agree."
Qiu Biao's words were very inflammatory, and the leaders below made a noise and made noisy comments.
The faces of several old men turned pale with anger, but there was nothing they could do. On the surface, what Qiu Biao said seemed to make sense. However, if you think about it carefully, you will know that Qiu Biao's words are just wishful thinking. Although the defense has been strengthened, although the defense has been expanded,
Soldiers and horses. But how could this small cottage resist the huge number of officers and soldiers of the imperial court? Especially when the imperial court made up its mind to eradicate the cottage, it would do so at any cost. Therefore, Qiu Biao's words were completely nonsense. Maybe it could
It can be resisted for a short period of time, but it will definitely not last for too long.
Only Lin Jue and Gao Muqing at the table knew Qiu Biao's true purpose. Qiu Biao recruited troops and horses to build fortifications, not because he believed that the Guishan Island cottage could really withstand the massive siege by officers and soldiers. He did this to show that he was doing his best for the cottage.
On the other hand, the Guishan Island cottage can hold off the encirclement and suppression troops for as long as possible, so as to buy time for the Wengshan County pirates to attack the interior. By then, the imperial troops will be in a dilemma.
To capture Guishan Island, more people will need to die and it will take longer. If troops are sent back to rescue Hangzhou, Guishan Island will become a serious threat and the canal channel will be cut off, which is also impossible. Guishan Island will become the imperial court
A sting in the throat became a bait that had to be removed. This is why Qiu Biao tried his best to strengthen the fortifications and recruit manpower.
"That's all. I won't argue with you. Anyone with a discerning eye can see this. Master of the first village, you make the decision. Do you think what the second master of the second village did is excessive?" Ma Mingde cupped his hands and sat down with his cheeks in his hands.
Gao Muqingdao was thoughtful in the first seat.
Everyone's eyes turned to Gao Muqing. Gao Muqing put down his arms, sat up slowly, and said softly: "What about this... I think the second village leader did the right thing."
"What?" Zhao Shanyue, Ma Mingde and others looked at Gao Muqing in shock.
"I think the second village owner did the right thing. If the cottage wants to develop, we must not stick to the old rules. Dad and several uncles, your generation has done well enough, but in our generation, how can the cottage not develop? I
Since I have handed over the general affairs of the village to the second village master, I have given him enough trust. The decision made by the second village master is equivalent to my decision, so I have to tell a few uncles that you no longer need to worry about the master plan of the village. You can rest assured.
It's good to retire in a cottage." Gao Muqing said in a cold voice.
Several old leaders looked at each other, embarrassed and sad. The leader of the village actually said this, and it seemed that nothing could be changed. However, some people realized that this was Gao Muqing's unintentional words, and thought that maybe the situation was forcing the leader of the village.
I have to say this, because most of the control of the village is actually in the hands of Qiu Biao. The owner of the village must not want to cause trouble, so he is so perverted.
A proud smile appeared on Qiu Biao's face, and he was surprised to receive public support from Gao Muqing. He had always felt that Gao Muqing was repelling him, but Gao Muqing still stood with him at the critical moment, which gave him
An illusion: Maybe Gao Muqing's indifferent reaction to her pursuit is actually just a kind of reserve. In her heart, she should have agreed. Besides, soon, the village will be all in her own hands, and she can still be the leader of the village if she wants to
, you can only rely on yourself. And the price is: fulfill your wish and let yourself get her.
"Thank you for your trust, Master of the Dazhai. Qiu Biao hereby swears that I will live and die with the Guishan Island village and will never allow officers and soldiers to set foot on the village." Qiu Biao stood up and raised his hands to the sky to show off loudly.
"We also swear that, like the second village master, we will live and die with the village." More than ten leaders also stood up and agreed.
Several old men sighed and shook their heads in front of all this.
Qiu Biao rolled his eyes, turned to Gao Muqing and said, "Master Dazhai, I have something to ask for Dazhai Master's permission."
Gao Muqing said calmly: "Speak."
Qiu Biao said: "In order to better resist the attack of the officers and soldiers, I think the number of troops in the inner village should be reduced, and most of the troops should be concentrated on the lake and outside the mountain village. Currently, there are nearly 1,800 people in the inner village of the mountain village.
It is really unnecessary. For example, Coach Zhao and Leader Ma have hundreds of guards under their command. I think these manpower are too wasteful. I think that each leader can only keep thirty or fifty people around him, and the rest should be
Gather them together and rush into the outpost camp as combat manpower. This can better resist the attacks of the officers and soldiers. I wonder what the leader of the village thinks?"
Lin Jue stood aside and secretly sighed in his heart, this Qiu Biao is really good at planning. Taking advantage of the possible encirclement and suppression by officers and soldiers as a reason, he proposed to reduce the number of people in the inner village. The reason was high-sounding, but the real purpose was
I'm afraid it's not that bright. The first time he heard him put forward this suggestion, Lin Jue felt it. Obviously Qiu Biao wanted to take the opportunity to reduce the number of guards around the leaders of the inner village, and most of the leaders in the inner village
Most of them are loyal to Gao Muqing. This will further weaken the power of these people. Once they need to be purged, these people will be crushed and killed without anyone to fight back.
In fact, not only Lin Jue smelled it, but all the leaders present also smelled it. They were surprised that the leader of the Second Village actually dared to make such a suggestion publicly, which was to test the attitude of the leader of the Dazhai and see if the leader of the Dazhai
He really trusted him. The main reason Dazhai really agreed was that he had completely bowed to the second village leader. Because everyone knew that it was precisely because of the support of those who controlled the thousands of people in the inner village that Gao Muqing was able to
He was successfully elected as the leader of Dazhai. Once these troops were reduced, Gao Muqing would have cut off his arms.
Everyone looked at Gao Muqing quietly, waiting for her return. Several copycat elders were also eagerly waiting for Gao Muqing to refute Qiu Biao's unreasonable and overbearing request. However, they were soon disappointed.
"I agree with the Second Village Master's suggestion. If there is a war, more troops will be needed outside. The Second Village Master can handle this matter at his discretion. Uncles, I hope you will not be dissatisfied. This matter is also for the sake of the village."
Gao Muqing's cold voice sounded, and several old men sighed.
Ma Mingde almost blurted out: "Master Dazhai, do you really not know Qiu Biao's intentions? You are putting yourself in danger." But how can he say this, once this layer of window paper is pierced?
, Qiu Biao will take action immediately, and the Shanzhai Lieutenant General will start a bloody storm. Of course, they are also extremely disappointed with Gao Muqing. Gao Muqing is so ignorant, which is really heartbreaking.
"That's it, that's it. It's time for the rest of us to quit. We've been in bloody trouble for most of our lives, and we're tired of fighting and killing. Leader of the Dazhai, Zhao Shanyue resigns as the head coach. If the leader of the Dazhai allows me, I want to leave.
Let’s go take a walk outside the village.” Zhao Shanyue sighed.
"Old Zhao, let's go out and see the world outside together. Staying on the island for most of our lives is indeed boring enough." Ma Mingde and others also said.
"When a disaster approaches, do you guys want to escape alone? Haha, you guys have really set an example for the younger generation." Qiu Biao sneered and mocked.
Gao Muqing frowned and shouted: "Second Village Master, what are you talking about? The contribution of these uncles to the village is unparalleled. They suffered much and shed much more blood than you. What you said is really disgusting.
.still not apologizing.”
Qiu Biao had a gloomy face. Although he was dissatisfied, he also realized that he was a little carried away. These were the truth in his heart, but it was inappropriate to speak them out at this time. Qiu Biao saw the opportunity very quickly, and immediately changed his expression and stood up to give
Zhao Shanyue and others accompanied the gift. Zhao Shanyue, Ma Mingde and others raised their heads and ignored him.
"Uncles, if you want to go out for a walk, it's not an outrageous request. But my niece begs you to stay for a few days before leaving. How about you drink your niece's wedding wine before leaving?" Gao Muqing's words rang out in the silence.
"What? Your wedding wine?"
"The leader of the village... wants to get married?"
Everyone looked at Gao Muqing in shock. Gao Muqing nodded and said, "Yes, I'm getting married."
