In the afternoon, it was still the big house, and at this time the courtyard was already full of people.
These people include villagers in this village and nearby villages, and these villagers are already armed.
The so-called being armed refers to the fact that many people have squeezed the long bamboo bowl on the ground in their hands.
Although the bamboo bowl is made of white bamboo that has been dried out, more of it is cut from new bamboo. Although the bamboo leaves have been removed, they are still green.
No way, the use of bamboo bowl requires the use of the front branches.
The local area is naturally rich in bamboo, and there are indeed a lot of dried bamboo, but who will keep the branches of dried bamboo
If the dry bamboo does not have branches, it is not like a big broomstick, it is no different from a spear, so in order to make a bamboo stick, you can only cut Hsinchu.
After contacting the villages, the number of villagers who came up from each village was two hundred sixty and seventy.
Among these people, the older ones are over forty, and the younger ones must be sixteen or seventeen.
However, everyone held a bamboo bowl in their hands and stood on the ground. From the side, it looked like a spear like a forest. It looked very spectacular.
In addition to these organized villagers, there are more than fifty people dressed up as Zhuang Ding.
And these villagers returned to their villages after the manor was breached by the Ying people and the village owner was killed.
Some of them went home and slept, but some didn't even sleep, and then they fought again with the invading Yingren in this village.
But at this time, everyone in the yard focused on Shang Zhen who was standing in the middle of the yard.
"The Shang Zhen brother and his brother protected our Wujiazhuang when you did not come back.
People don't walk without a head, and birds don't fly without a head.
So we recommend this Shang Zhen righteous man as the leader of our team. "At this time a forty-year-old man in the village spoke.
This person is called Wu Yi, and he is naturally prestigious if he can be the master in the village.
"Why do you want to push this Shang Zhen brother to be the leader
Some people know it and some people don't yet, I have to say something. "Wu Yi said again.
Wu Yi is the person in charge of this village, and that is naturally thoughtful.
He certainly understands that an outsider like Shang Zhen must be able to convince the public to take their locals to resist the Japanese pirates.
"Look, from yesterday to now, nearly three hundred people have come from Ying, but this businessman and the people from our village have only thirty or forty people.
But since the fight last night, let's not say how many Yingren were killed or injured, but these are the three hundred Yingren who can attack our village and there are only a dozen outside.
So I am convinced that the Shang Zhen brothers are capable of fighting!
Also, the idea of using this bamboo bowl to kill the Yingren was also made by Brother Shang Zhen. I think this is a good trick too!
We are no match for Yingren in martial arts, so we use long weapons to fight against Yingren!
From these things, we can see that the Shang Zhen brothers are courageous and strategic
We believe that the Shang Zhen brothers have taken the lead, do you have no opinion in other villages? "
Wu Yi finished speaking and began to look around.
After Wu Yi had finished speaking, the people in charge of the villages started talking in a low voice.
They either saw or heard about the fact that Shang Zhen led people to protect Wujiazhuang.
The military affairs are dangerous, not to mention the protection of their respective villages this time. What they have to consider is whether Shang Zhen has such an ability.
At this time, it's not a matter of vying to be the leader. The leader they chose must have real skills. It involves the life and death of each of their wives and children, so they can't help but be careless!
After discussing for a while, the leaders of those villages agreed that Shang Zhen should be the leader of this team.
In wars, there is actually only one condition for who is the leader, that is, this person can lead everyone to win the war, can make one's side less dead and Yingren's side more dead, it's such a simple thing!
How about people being good officials during wars!
That really means that those who are able are superior to those who are mediocre, have nothing to do with the age of the person who can be an official!
Wu Yi saw that the people in charge of the villages also agreed with him and nodded in satisfaction, but just as he was about to announce the results of everyone's negotiation, one of the people in the crowd already shouted: "Wait! "
When everyone heard the sound and looked at it, they saw that one person had already separated from the crowd and walked out.
The man who came out was in his twenties, but he was dressed as a Zhuang Ding, but he was taller than Shang Zhen in terms of body.
"Wang Meng, what do you have to say? Are you not convinced by the Shang Zhen brothers?" Wu Yi knew this Zhuang Ding.
Now he didn't need to ask to know that Wang Meng returned to his village after the manor was destroyed, and the village where Wang Meng was located was called Wang Gezhuang, which was only six or seven miles away from their Wujiazhuang.
"My eyes are still not blind, I can still see you brother Shang Zhen's ability." Wang Meng replied coldly.
"Then why are you?" Wu Yi said.
"I have nothing to do with you. I have something to tell this Shang Zhen brother." Wang Meng skipped Wu Yi directly and looked at Shang Zhen.
Obviously, this Wang Meng could be considered the number one person in the nearby village, so Wu Yi did not stop him even though he was unhappy.
Shang Zhen's eyes, who had been silent all the time, touched Wang Meng's eyes.
Shang Zhen's eyes were calm.
To be honest, from his heart, he can be the leader or not.
He is not a local, although he helps the villages to resist the Yingren, but he also knows that he is only doing his own destiny.
Then he was doing his best to fight against Ying Ren, and he would run away if he couldn't beat himself and his own people. He really didn't believe in Ying Ren and could catch them.
But as soon as he was chosen to be the leader of the village guard team, the trouble came.
Now it is obvious that the Yingren are very powerful and want to resist the Yingren from the village, saying that he will not let the Yingren rush over to slaughter people in the village. Shang Zhen thinks that he definitely does not have this ability.
What's more, if there are too many people under oneself, then you have to be responsible for the lives of those under them, and you are not willing to carry this responsibility shock!
But then again, if you become a leader better than others, you can save more Han people, that's a great thing.
Therefore, whether Shang Zhen is the leader of himself or not is really just between the two.
Now this Wang Meng clearly disagrees with himself, and Shang Zhen is also willing to hear about it.
However, as soon as he saw Wang Meng's Zhuang Ding dress, he had faintly guessed something.
Sure enough, Wang Meng looked at Shang Zhen for a while and said, "Brother Shang, can you take off your hat?"
When Wang Meng said that, Xitang Bai Yuchuan, who was standing behind Shang Zhen, began to exchange eyes, but they also guessed something.
Shang Zhen didn't care about Wang Meng's attitude, so he took off the hat he was wearing on his head.
As for Shang Zhen, the people in the yard picking the hats started talking in a low voice.
What they are talking about is of course Shang Zhen's hairstyle.
Last year, Shang Zhen acted as a Ying Ren, so he shaved his hair into an aunt like Ying Ren.
But then he naturally shaved off his hair when he didn't pretend to be a Yingren. In this case, it would be like an old peasant planting leeks, cutting off the grown leek and re-spotting it.
However, even though half a year has passed, Shang Zhen's hair is not long enough to be tied.
So he tied his hair upright with a string.
At this moment, when he took off the hat, the dreadlocks on the head naturally exposed.
Wang Meng looked at Shang Zhen’s hairstyle and couldn’t help but sneered and said, “Actually, I admire your ability. I don’t mind if you, a thief, be our leader. of!"
Wang Meng's words directly caused the people who were listening in the courtyard to make a "coax", and then the discussion began. The situation was like pouring a spoonful of water into a hot oil pan!
