From space to the world, it takes trillions of years

When Chen Yu had nothing to do, he made it rain in Baimu Town and the surrounding areas of Fengqi Mountain.

After the rain, the mountains and forests turned green again, and the townspeople who had been worried all breathed a sigh of relief.

Recently, the beggar camps have been recruiting a large number of refugees, and the land in Fengqi Mountain is almost not enough for farming.

Some people suggested separating the Beggars' Camp from Baimu Town and establishing a base outside.

If successful, he will be able to establish his own territory, and his parents and wife will all enjoy endless wealth and glory.

They were just starting out, and they didn't dare to hope that they could replace Daning one day. At most, they fantasized about taking advantage of the court's inattention to gain a firm foothold and maintain their rule for a while longer.

Eventually, the imperial court would free up its hands, or a new saint would come to pacify the world, but they would still not be able to escape the fate of being wiped out.

But for a country boy who could barely make a living, to be able to accomplish something great, his life was worth it.

If we lose, there is nothing to say. Life and death are determined by fate, but women, children, the elderly and the weak can still live in a paradise.

Even Xu Yan was shaken and prepared to split up the beggar camp.

He Qiao firmly disagreed with this, saying: "Once the beggars' camp is separated, it will be difficult to merge again.

Baimu Town has attracted so many refugees, it is not certain that some of them have ulterior motives, or at least they have not yet completely returned.

If the land must be divided, a small number of young and strong people must be left in the town, otherwise farming will be impossible.

Should the young and strong among the refugees stay or not?

It is not right to stay or not. If we stay, there are not many people in our town, and Baimu Town may not still be Baimu Town.

If we don't keep them, the newly arrived refugees will become resentful, and the already dangerous situation will become even more unpredictable.

If we use the stolen food to feed them, what difference does it make whether we divide it or not?

Moreover, the imperial court is already busy with its own affairs and may not be able to mobilize a large army to wipe us out in a short period of time.

If the world must be pacified, it will definitely not be Great Peace.

By that time, the world will understand that this so-called paradise cannot last forever.

What's more, without the young and strong people in Baimu Town, the fate of the old and weak will not be any better.

It would be better to tell the soldiers like us that behind us are our parents, relatives, wives, sons and sisters.

To move forward is to live, to move backward is to die.

If you are afraid of wolves in front and tigers behind, you will fall into an irretrievable situation. "

Everyone was persuaded by him and stopped talking about the split. When the heavy rain came, they believed even more that God was blessing the people of Baimu Town.

In April, Xu Xiru received news that there was a large-scale troop mobilization in Jiyang County.

The county town secretly collected food and grass, forged armor and weapons, and even organized militia training and gathered local soldiers, as if they were planning some big move.

Jiyang County was the county most affected by the beggar camps, and there were many wealthy households in it.

Not only is it rarely affected by drought, but like Baimu Town, it has large tracts of irrigated paddy fields, ensuring a stable harvest regardless of drought or flood.

Most of the food looted from the beggar camps came from here.

Many local gentry were unable to bear the harassment and wrote to the county governor requesting him to send troops.

But the county magistrate was also in a dilemma.

Four years ago, the imperial court dispatched troops to quell a rebellion, and 25,000 people went out, and they have not returned yet.

The year before last, the governor of the state recruited 500 infantrymen and 1,000 civilians. It is said that Ping was the predecessor of this beggar camp, but he was defeated and only a dozen people escaped.

It is said that the battle was quite bizarre. The imperial court mobilized tens of thousands of troops, which were several times more numerous and of higher quality than the rebels.

Just as the rebels were about to be defeated and put down, a rooster suddenly appeared, which was bigger than the house. Some even said that it was as tall as the sky when it stood up.

In a few moves, the government troops were scattered, and the post-natal warrior who led the troops also died. People called him the Chicken God, saying that this group of rebels was blessed by the gods!

The county magistrate scoffed at this, thinking it was just an excuse by the deserter to exonerate himself.

It is an indisputable fact that the imperial court suffered a great defeat, and not many people even escaped back.

There are still more than 10,000 infantrymen and 1,000 cavalrymen in the county city.

But this force is to be used to defend the city, as Jiyang County has not been peaceful in recent years.

If the imperial court is unstable, the counties and prefectures will be in turmoil.

Apart from the largest and most vicious bandit group in Qihuoying, there were six other relatively large bandit leaders in Jiyang County.

The most powerful ones have tens of thousands of followers, all watching covetously.

Although they do not occupy a fixed territory, their strength cannot be underestimated.

This beggar camp is a group of foreign invaders who are rampant in the countryside and harming the gentry. Naturally, it is the county magistrate's responsibility to defend the territory.

But if the elite troops in the county town were all out to fight, and were taken over by local bandits, the county magistrate would be imprisoned and executed.

The county magistrate chose the lesser of two evils, so he turned a blind eye to the incident. He impeached the magistrate if necessary, and dismissed him if necessary. At worst, he could go home and become a local tycoon.

His hometown is in the southwest of Daning. Although there are evil spirits rampant there, they are still not a big deal.

His family owned thousands of acres of fertile land and thousands of servants, so ordinary bandits did not dare to target him.

As a result, the gentry who were constantly threatened by the beggar camps could no longer sit still.

The major landlords said that they could solve the problems of money, grain and manpower themselves, but they asked the court to give them a name so that they could make arrangements calmly.

The county governor thought about it and felt that it would be beneficial to him, so he waved his seal and awarded more than 20 positions as deputy commanders of the militia.

Each regiment has 1,500 soldiers, and the imperial court is not responsible for money, food, and manpower. It only provides armor and weapons, which will be taken back after the rebels are defeated.

The more the county governor thought about it, the more he felt that this deal was a good deal. The armor and weapons were from the county treasury, and had not been used for a long time, so most of them were rusted.

Even the governor failed to wipe out this group of rebels. If I could wipe them out, it would be a huge achievement.

Even if he fails, it doesn't matter, he is not the one who suffers the loss. Even if this beggar camp becomes bigger, that is a matter for the future, and he is probably no longer in office.

The county town began training troops in the autumn of last year, and the scale was expanded rapidly in February of this year.

The twenty-three deputy envoys of the militia represented twenty-three large landowners.

Originally, the county magistrate gave out 27 places for militia training, and the four missing places were naturally because their clansmen in the countryside had been slaughtered by Xu Xiru.

The tribesmen living in the county town survived the disaster, but most of their foundations were destroyed, and they may never recover.

Of course, the remaining families were of varying strengths. The stronger ones not only used up all the 1,500 soldiers, but also stuffed a lot of them into other militias.

Even the weaker ones trained at least seven or eight hundred regular soldiers, and they were doing a great job.

On the day of departure on July 2, even though there were not enough militia members, they still forcibly conscripted some beggars and refugees to make up a total of 1,500 people.

The county magistrate looked at the vast army of more than 30,000 soldiers below the stage and was confident that he would win the battle.

Leading the way were seven acquired warriors, whose cultivation levels ranged from the first to the third level.

It is said that when the governor sent troops to suppress the bandits, the army had no more than 10,000 soldiers, and only 7,000 regular soldiers.

The main general is a fifth-level acquired warrior. Although he is higher, he is still two fewer warriors than the total number.

Leading an army of tens of thousands to wipe out the disobedient. Even if he was a governor of a state, it seemed that he was no more than this, and the county governor was full of pride.

I'm going to lead the battle myself!
