Valley Emperor

It can be said that Li Xuan spent a lot of energy on the newly formed Guards so that he could survive in the future, or to live longer.

Basically, I go to the playground every day to watch the training of these children, and even go off to guide the training in person.

It's just that I don't know if the inertia of the times is too strong, so powerful that Li Xuan can't change it, or whether the thinking of these half-old children has been fixed, and it is more difficult for them to distinguish between left and right, and to hear some complex passwords clearly. .

After more than ten days of continuous training, there are still people who can't tell the difference between left and right. Every time someone shouts the password to turn left or turn right, someone always turns wrong.

Whenever this time, it would always cause laughter from the bandits who were dancing with knives and guns.

Even the formation has not been neatly organized, so naturally there is no way to carry out some higher-level combat skills training, such as marksmanship, swordsmanship and the like.

With the passing of the training time, it will soon be the summer time. At this time, whether it is these half-old children in the Li Xuan Guards, or the strong bandits who dance with Fang Dongquan every day, all of them are Throwing down the sword, picked up the sickle and **** to start the summer harvest.

When the summer harvest started, Li Xuan also went to the field and observed the ancient summer harvest work for the first time. Unfortunately, Li Xuan was not a farmer in his previous life, and his understanding of farming was limited to words and pictures. The original body is also a son of a landlord, and has been dealing with the Four Books and Five Classics since childhood, and is also a child who has never been in the fields.

So at this moment, he recognizes Rice, but Rice doesn't recognize him.

But even so, he could tell from the ears of rice in the field that the yield of this rice seemed to be a little low.

It can't even be said that it is a little low, but very low.

He basically failed to see the full and dense ears of rice, all of which were extremely sparse. Just by looking at the ears of rice, he knew that the yield could not be too high.

However, Liu Bagou, who accompanied him to check the summer harvest, had a satisfied expression on his face: "Although it rained a while ago, it didn't have a big impact on the harvest. This year is another bumper year!"

"This is the harvest year?" Li Xuan seemed to be in disbelief at what Liu Bagou said.

Liu Bagou naturally knew that this young master of his family had never been in the fields in his life, so he was not surprised by Li Xuan's words, but said: "Yes, the rain this year is very abundant, and the fields here are quite fertile, more fertile than ours. Lijia Village has more harvests!"

Although Li Xuan still had some doubts in his heart, he consciously did not continue to ask questions, because he had no real experience of field affairs in his two lifetimes, and he had no right to say anything about it.

"If we have a bumper harvest, can we last until the autumn harvest?" Li Xuan is more concerned about this issue.

After hearing Li Xuan's question, Liu Bagou's originally happy expression suddenly disappeared, and he frowned slightly: "It should be a little difficult, according to the current situation, even if this summer has a bumper harvest, it is estimated that it will be difficult to support. By autumn harvest time, mainly because there are too few fields to be cultivated in summer, and we have too many people."

"We are already planning to open up more fields and plant more grains this summer. After the autumn harvest, there should be no shortage of grains, but in the second half of this year, I am afraid that at least a month and a half of rations will be short!"

Although there was a bumper harvest this summer, the shadow of lack of food has always shrouded the hearts of everyone in Huangzhu Mountain.

After the busy summer, just after planting crops on the newly cultivated fields, Fang Dongquan, Chen Butcher, Bai Yunqi and others began to discuss how to solve the food crisis this autumn.

In August, Fang Dongquan formally asked Li Xuan for a decree, saying that he was going to bring people out of the mountains to harvest food!

Li Xuan knew very well that when he said harvesting grain, he did not mean to use silver to buy grain, but to loot with sword.

Li Xuan, who has the soul of later generations, was disgusted with such things, so he tried to block it, but Fang Dongquan's attitude was very firm, even Liu Bagou, Bai Yunqi and others agreed without exception.

In this case, Li Xuan, the puppet emperor, has no objection.

On the day of leaving the mountain, Li Xuan watched Fang Dongquan and more than 60 young and strong bandits go out one after another, and said to Dong Yunyun next to him: "Do you think this is my fault?"

Dong Yunyun was standing next to Li Xuan about a foot away, very close, she raised her head slightly and glanced at Li Xuan: "How could it be your fault, you have persuaded them, they don't listen, they insist on going out Looting, how can the sins caused by it be your fault, it's their fault!"

"Really?" Li Xuan asked Dong Yunyun repeatedly as if he couldn't believe it when he heard Dong Yunyun's words.

Dong Yunyun nodded without hesitation, "Yeah!"

Although Dong Yunyun said so, Li Xuan was still a little uncomfortable.

As a person with a modern soul, he couldn't accept Fang Dongquan and the others going out to loot, because it meant death and injury!

If the looting is successful, they will come back with food, but how will the people whose food they robbed survive?

If the looting was not successful, but instead the army was destroyed, how many of these young men who attacked would still be able to come back alive?

he does not know!

If I had been more determined to oppose it at the time, I should have been able to prevent this from happening.

But Dong Yunyun may have seen his objection, but she never knew that Li Xuan's objection was not firm enough.

Because what Li Xuan himself would not admit is that in his heart, he vaguely expects that Fang Dongquan and the others will be able to loot enough food to come back.

Because it is a fact that Huangzhu Mountain is short of food, there is not enough food, so I don't know how many people in Huangzhu Mountain will starve to death.

The busy summer has ended, Fang Dongquan has also taken the young man out of the mountain, and Huang Zhushan has once again returned to its former calm.

The mountain people of Huangzhu Mountain still have a lot of things to do, and Li Xuan is once again immersed in the training of the guards.

At this time, only the Guards can make him forget his many troubles and give him hope for the future.

For many nights, he would dream that the guards he had trained would become an invincible army, defeat the officers and soldiers, and then swept the world, entered the capital, and captured Ming Dynasty rulers and ministers alive.

Although this was just a dream, it still made Li Xuan a rare excitement.

After a total of one month of training, those half-year-old children were finally able to tell the difference between left and right, and could hear the orders clearly.

At this time, Li Xuan let them start the next round of training.

When he set up this guard army of only twenty people, Li Xuan began to think about what kind of weapons they should equip and what kind of army they should be.

Originally, he planned to train as a single sword and shield soldier or a pike soldier, but later found that too single type of arms was too flawed, so despite the small number of people, Li Xuan still divided them into sword and shield soldiers and spear soldiers.

Originally, he planned to train longbowmen, but longbowmen cannot be trained in a short period of time. Strong bows are not as easy to use as long spears and swords. With a qualified strong bow, I can only let go of this kind of thinking.

Just when Li Xuan devoted himself to training the Guards, Fang Dongquan, who had left the mountain to collect food, finally came back, but when they returned to Huangzhu Mountain, instead of cheers, what sounded in Huangzhu Mountain was. It's howling!
