Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 195
Spring is a good season for outings and outings. The warm spring breeze has blown the land of the Central Plains green. After a long and cold winter, the sluggish life has begun to sprout vigorous vitality again.The solid ice in the river has already turned into flowing river water. The river banks, fields, forests, and swamps are covered with green clothes again. The mountains and flowers are splendid, the butterflies dance and the warblers fly.

So, early the next morning, when the children came to the school on time to prepare for class, Yang Menglong confidently rang the bell and told everyone to gather at the grain drying field and announced loudly: There will be no classes today and tomorrow. Let's go to the suburbs to play!The children were surprised at first, then cheered and rushed forward, vying to hug Yang Menglong and kiss him on the face to express their excitement. In the blink of an eye, Yang Menglong's body was covered with naughty children.It seems that every naughty child has a playful heart, and children who are not playful are abnormal children.

Liu Ziyan said helplessly: "Well, after two days, these children should play like crazy, and there is no way to control them at that time."

Xiao Yufang smiled: "Not really, they are very obedient. I think it's good for them to take them out for fun."

Liu Ziyan became more and more helpless: "Anyway, no matter whether it's right or not, you are always towards him..."

With great difficulty, Yang Menglong tore off the bear children who were entwined with him, and asked the children to line up and head towards the suburbs under the leadership of their respective monitors. There are some rice noodles, oil and salt on it, it seems that he doesn't plan to come back for lunch.Everything was ready, the convoy set off, he adjusted a carriage, and said to Xiao Yufang and Liu Ziyan with a smile: "You two beauties, would you like to ride with me in the carriage?"

Xiao Yufang and Liu Ziyan blushed and cursed in unison: "Get lost!"

Yang Menglong said: "Get out, get out, I'm too far away, you can't find me, so don't cry!" Holding a small flag, he ran to the front of the team triumphantly, and walked out with a large group of brats. Chitosho, walking towards the destination... It looks like he is playing a game of eagle and chicken, and he is playing the role of the hen.Xiao Yufang and Liu Ziyan couldn't laugh or cry, got into the car, and walked slowly behind.

Qi Hu, Xue Siming, Wang Tiechui and many other people had been waiting outside for a long time. When they saw Yang Menglong holding a small flag and coming out with a long string of little boys, they all looked at each other in dismay.Yang Menglong counted: "Mr. Qi, Han Peng, Xue Siming, Wang Tiehammer, Boss Cheng... Hey, Boss Cheng, who are these?" I have never seen one before, an old man with piercing eyes, a scribe in white with shrewdness all over his body, and a girl in green who is as pale as a chrysanthemum. It seems that their relationship is very different. In general, I can't help but ask curiously.

Cheng Ji bowed his hands and said, "My lord, let me introduce you. This is my father."

Yang Menglong cupped his hands towards Cheng Shi: "So it's Mr. Cheng, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Cheng Shi bowed his hand in salute: "The common people have seen the Commander before!" He said in his heart: "This Commander is really as easy-going as the second brother said."

Cheng Ji introduced the scribe in white again: "This is my brother Cheng Jun, who is also in the grain business."

Cheng Jun cupped his hands in a salute: "Cao Min has met Commander!"

Yang Menglong chuckled: "So you are Boss Cheng's elder brother. I heard that your business is doing well. How is it? Are you interested in developing in Wuyang?"

Cheng Jun: "..."

It’s so straightforward that I started attracting investment without even making any detours!
Seeing that Cheng Jun was speechless, Cheng Ji smiled secretly: Now you know how painful it is to deal with this little monster for the first time, right?Finally, introduce the girl in green: "This is my younger sister Cheng Qi."

Yang Menglong cheerfully waved to Cheng Qi: "Hi, hello beauty!"

Cheng Qi: "..."

Yang Menglong complained to Cheng Ji: "When did they arrive? Why didn't you tell me? You are too out of touch!"

Cheng Ji said: "My father and others just arrived last night. They were exhausted after a long journey, so they didn't go to see you. Please forgive me."

Yang Menglong said: "Forget it, it's not a big deal. I won't argue with you. Let's go!" He raised the small flag and roared majestically: "Let's go!" and set off again with the long team.

The boy walked for a long time before Cheng Qi realized what he was doing, with a look of disbelief on his face: "Second brother, is this really the commander of the Wuyang Guard, the leader of the first guard?"

Cheng Ji seemed to be smiling but not smiling: "What else do you think?"

Cheng Qi said angrily: "I think he is just an inexperienced child!"

Cheng Ji said: "You guessed it right, he is just a kid who doesn't know much... Hurry up, he won't stop and wait for someone." He helped Cheng Shi into the carriage, and got into the carriage himself.Cheng Qi looked at Yang Menglong's back and shook her head vigorously. Even if she was killed, she would not believe that this big horse monkey with nearly two hundred children singing and dancing all the way was a dignified third-rank commander, let alone that this big horse monkey had This ability has turned a dilapidated thousand households into such a situation in less than a year!
The long procession drove across the fields, and the farmers who were working in the fields watched them pass by with hoes cheerfully.The field where there was no grass in the past has been covered by tender green wheat seedlings and potato seedlings. The greenness is very gratifying. The river runs happily along the long bamboo canal, bringing necessary water to the field.There was little snow last winter, and there have been only a few light rains since the beginning of spring. Everywhere is very dry, but Wuyang County does not seem to be affected by the drought, at least the military field of Wuyangwei is not affected by the drought.Now the military households are carefully fertilizing the crops. The fertilizer they apply is of course phosphorus fertilizer. They sprinkle it little by little, as evenly as possible. Phosphorus fertilizer is hard-won, and it is directly related to the harvest. They cherish every bit of it.Some children were pulling weeds in the field. When they saw children younger than themselves wearing uniform clothes and singing songs happily to go on an outing, they all stopped and looked at them, their little faces were full of envy and grievance...Go to school well, Not only can you read books, but also free breakfast and lunch.The commander and the two young ladies have trained these younger brothers and sisters to be extremely smart. After only a few months of learning, they can speak, write and draw. They are really envious.

Of course, not everyone is envious.

A few scholars rode skinny horses, reciting poems to each other, and came head-on, their heads dangling to and fro in rhythmic chant, which was quite funny.A thin scholar said with a smile: "I didn't expect the scenery to be so intoxicating in this remote village." Another scholar with a long face said: "Yes, everyone here lives and works in peace and contentment. It is quite like Yao and Shun. The wind!" Seeing Yang Menglong driving over with a long line of children, he showed a bit of contempt: "A vulgar martial artist can pretend to be elegant, ruining the beautiful scenery, what a pity, what a pity!"

These are all scholars who came from Nanyang City. They know a little bit about what Yang Menglong has done. Of course, it is all negative news. They have long disliked Yang Menglong. When they saw Yang Menglong coming, they all Looking at the sky, with a sneer on his lips, he complained to his heart's content: "That's right! A martial artist is a martial artist. Even if he has been scented with sandalwood for ten years, he still can't hide the vulgar smell on his body!"

"The most ridiculous thing is that a martial artist actually runs a school. Since no one wanted to enter his school, he had to arrest all the children of military households to prevent the school from having nothing but rats!"

"It's interesting to think about a Mr. Wufudang teaching a group of poor army children to read. What can he teach those little beggars? Can he teach them how to fight?"

Yang Menglong stood still, with his hands on his hips, looked at these arrogant scholars, and asked, "Are you talking about me?"

The long-faced scholar turned his nostrils to the sky and said, "How dare a student comment on the right and wrong of an adult? Don't get me wrong, the student is just talking about what he saw and heard during his recent travels to other places."

Yang Menglong came to a sudden: "Oh, so that's the case! You can talk as much as you like, now we are going over, please get out of the way."

The scholars said: "My lord, the students are going to pass now, please give way first."

Yang Menglong raised his eyebrows slowly: "I once stipulated that whenever students go out in groups, all vehicles, horses and pedestrians should keep to the left, don't you remember?"

The scholars became more and more arrogant: "This is just the adults' own rules, we can listen to them or not! The country also has rules, local officials must respect scholars and gentry..."

Yang Menglong interrupted: "I think you are trying to make things difficult for me! I will ask you again, will you give way or not!?"

The scholars remained silent, seeing the stubborn and disdainful expressions on their faces, it was very difficult for them to give way on their own initiative.

However, this is not a problem for Yang Menglong: "Wang Tiehammer, Xue Siming, throw these pieces of rubbish into the field for me!"

Wang Tiechui and Xue Siming had grown impatient for a long time, so they responded and rushed forward in three steps at a time.The scholars were shocked and shouted, "Yang, you dare to insult me ​​and other scholars like this!?"

Yang Menglong spat on the ground and said: "How great are scholars? In my hometown, college students are all ruined on the streets. What's so great about them? You losers can't lift your shoulders. You can't do anything except recite a few nonsense poems. You don’t know how to do it, but you still have the nerve to put on a condescending face. I think you guys deserve to be beaten! Throw them into the fields!"

The scholars were startled and angry, and wanted to shout again, but Wang Tiechui and Xue Siming had already lifted them off the horses like chickens, threw them hard, and flew several meters away like clouds and fog, and fell into the roadside with a thump. In the paddy field, the muddy water splashed several feet high, gnawing a mouthful of mud firmly.Before these two could yell, Gudong Gudong, none of these pretentious scholars ran away, and Wang Tiehammer and Xue Siming threw them all down, rolling in the mud, and their Confucian uniforms were immediately stained with dirt. The mud is so dirty, how can there be any grace at all?It was clearly a group of wild boars rolling in the mud!
Yang Menglong laughed loudly and said: "Scholars, now you know what it means to be a scholar who meets a soldier. You can't explain why? Today you are lucky, and you chose a good place to fight against me, otherwise... Huh! Remember it, next time don't be smug in front of me, or I'll throw you all into the cesspit!"
