Chapter 302 Premonition

When Cui Sheng came back, he looked quite listless. Reading М

Like an eggplant hit by frost.

I don’t know if it was because he cried too much or something else, but he always felt like someone had drained his energy.

“Marshal, don’t be too sad. Life, old age, sickness and death…right, who doesn’t have to go through that? It’s just sooner or later, right?”

Cui Sheng glanced at him leisurely, and had a lot of words to say.

But he held back.

Bocheng was a very emotional person, so it was better not to talk about the affairs of the court. It was not necessary to say it out to make him upset.

It also prevented him from having conflicts with others in the future.

“Go away, I’ve been running all the way, I’m not tired enough! Go and do what you need to do, let me rest, you can handle the military affairs, don’t bother me.”

Cui Sheng drove Lu Bocheng away like a fly.

Lu Bocheng looked at him with some concern. The marshal didn’t want to say anything, so he didn’t ask. He turned and went out.

The curtain swayed and returned to calm.

Cui Sheng stared at it leisurely, as if he was looking at the curtain, but also as if he was looking at something else.

He didn't expect that after returning to Chang'an, the court was already in a mess. Everyone followed Wu Quanzhong's lead.

He felt extremely dangerous, but it seemed that no one else could see it.

When did Wu Quanzhong, a surrendered general, have such great power? He even drafted edicts for the new emperor, and it was so natural to use the seal.

Can he touch the jade seal?

Cui Sheng had an ominous premonition in his heart.

He couldn't suppress it.

The next day, Cui Sheng went to see his tens of thousands of troops.

Seeing that Lu Bocheng was leading them in training, the shouts on the training ground shook the sky, and the soldiers stood upright, punching and kicking, in a uniform manner, very energetic.

Cui Sheng looked at Lu Bocheng and felt a little relieved.

He still had Lu Bocheng, a tiger general, and tens of thousands of soldiers under him. There was nothing to be afraid of. He said to himself.

Pei Nian was as uneasy as Cui Sheng.

He waited for a whole winter, but Shangguan Yangbi didn't say a word. He was in a state of anxiety, and when winter came, he heard the news of Emperor Shuo's death.

His heart skipped a beat.

So he quickly ordered people to inform everywhere and posted a notice.

No drums, music, or singing were allowed in Renzhou City, and weddings were also stopped. All colored things were removed, and white cloth was draped on the door lintel to show grief.

Ordinary people don't understand politics, and it doesn't matter to them who is the emperor.

No matter whether the emperor is round or flat, fat or thin, as long as he can fill the stomachs of the people, they will accept him.

If you don't allow weddings, don't hold them, but you still have to do what you have to do, you can't stop living.

There is no news in the mountains, and Su Qing'an got the news a little later, but she had the source of news from the governor's mansion, so it wasn't much later.

So they spread the news that weddings could not be held to all the villages.

Fortunately, no one was going to hold a wedding. Winters are long in the mountains, and it is still cold now, so no one should hold a wedding.

Xiu'er and Su Qingliu, one planned to hold the wedding before spring ploughing, and the other planned to hold the wedding after spring ploughing. Fortunately, the taboo period was over by then.

In winter, all the villages were busy fighting off the bandits, and they were worried all winter, and they didn't have a good New Year.

Su Qing'an had white wax last autumn, and she planned to make some red lanterns in the market town during the New Year to make everyone lively, but she didn't do it in the end.

If everyone came to the market town to watch the fun and the bandits took advantage of it, she would slap herself in the face.

In winter, she stayed with her family and stayed in the house for a whole winter.

After the New Year, Xiaobao turned three years old.

After he learned to count in the winter, Su Qing'an felt that the child's enlightenment work should be put on the agenda.

This child counts smoothly and never makes mistakes.

He also has a very good memory. He can remember the nursery rhymes that Su's father and mother taught him to recite.

He remembered them after only one teaching, and he is very eager to learn.

He just finished reciting "Sheep, sheep, jump over the flower wall, the wall is broken, the donkey pushes the mill, the pig carries firewood, the dog makes fire, and the chicken goes to the kang to make steamed buns", and pestered Su's father and mother to teach him again.

Su's father and mother were almost pestered to bald by him.

So Qingyang took him to recite the Three Character Classic. Only then did they stop.

The old couple breathed a sigh of relief.

The child is too eager to learn, which makes them seem empty-headed. It's worrying.

It's the beginning of spring, and the land has not thawed yet, but Su Qing'an has already thought about several things to do in the beginning of spring.

Iron and stone are continuously transported back to the village. After making weapons and arrows, they are distributed to various villages and transported to Ma Mingwen.

The problem of weapons shortage was greatly alleviated at once.

We have weapons, but we have to improve our combat effectiveness.

Weapons cannot be used as decoration.

Let alone the difficult state of unity between man and weapon, we have to fight against bandits alone for several rounds, right?

We can't just be scared and run away when we see bandits coming.

So Su Qingmei notified each village to select 20 men under the age of 50 from each village in batches to go to the market town for training.

Each batch of training lasts for half a month. Until all the men in the village have been trained. The time is one year.

Unless it is busy with farming, they will train at other times.

No one objected.

Everyone wanted to learn more skills and have the ability to protect themselves and their families. They all competed to be on the first training list.

Ma Xin also saw that their 50 people were too few, and each village still had to have its own defense force. So he readily agreed to Su Qingmei's plan.

As soon as Su Qing'an asked him to help train the men in each village, he immediately agreed.

Immediately let his men find a training ground in a valley behind the market town.

The first list of names of each village was delivered, all of them were strong men from each village, and Ma Xin's first training was immediately launched.

Su Qing'an discussed the training content with Ma Xin. He was professional, and Su Qing'an didn't want to interfere with him, but she also made some suggestions.

She wanted Ma Xin to help train the mountain people, just to improve the overall quality of the mountain village and the ability to cooperate in combat in the future, mainly training physical fitness, fighting, and weapon use.

The mountain people are still very different from their army.

Ma Xin understood what Su Qing'an meant after listening, agreed with her idea, and let her rest assured, and then took people to train.

Many people from other villages also came to Su Qing'an after hearing the news, and wanted to participate in the training.

After training, their physical fitness and combat effectiveness were far ahead of them, but they were still too weak, which was simply unbearable.

As the winter passed, more and more people moved their homes to the market town.

Several villages wrote letters, and Su Qing'an considered for a long time, but finally did not accept them.

It was too far away, and she could not manage it. She was afraid that Pei Nian would be embarrassed if they were out of the territory of Renzhou, and she was also afraid that she could not protect them and delayed everyone.

Unexpectedly, only half a month later, these villages decided to move their villages to Lianzhai.

Su Qing'an discussed with a group of village owners and found a place for them in the mountains, dividing them into two mountains.

Let Wei Fuchang make a personnel file for them. Decided to help them build a village after the spring plowing.

But they had a surplus of people, so they transferred some people from them to help with the spring plowing, and they could also inspect them.
