Villagers in nearby villages have different opinions on the origin of the name of Baigu Village.
Some people say that because too many people were killed in White Bone Village, their bones were piled under the cliff of the back mountain. Over time, a place was formed all over the White Valley.
Some people also say that after they killed people, they threw them into a cave, and the cave was full of bones. Whenever a flash flood broke out, you could see the bones being washed out by the rain.
Anyway, no matter which version you say, it shows that this Bone Cottage is an existence that is extremely difficult to mess with, mainly because most of the bandits here are vicious and cruel, and they kill without blinking an eye.
When they go down the mountain to grab food, it's okay if they hand over the food obediently. But if they find someone hiding food or money, they will wipe out the family at the least, and massacre the village at the worst!
But at this time, when Zhao Feng brought Liu Wei here, he discovered that the scenery of Baigu Mountain was beautiful and it was actually rich in limestone minerals.
"I never expected that with such a beautiful scenery, there would be a bandit's stronghold hiding here."
Zhao Feng said this with some emotion, but Liu Wei was already used to it.
"Not to mention places like this, even those very barren hills are occupied by bandits. This bandit sucks the blood of the Zhou Dynasty. I didn't expect that the people's hard work for a year would actually feed these moths!"
Zhao Feng was a little surprised to see Liu Wei so indignant, but then he said with a smile.
"I didn't expect you to hate these bandits so much. Have you been robbed by these bandits?"
Liu Wei looked at Zhao Feng helplessly, and then shook his head.
"As a citizen of the Zhou Dynasty, shouldn't we be sad to see our country like this?"
Zhao Feng gave Liu Wei a thumbs up. From the first day he came to Zhao County, he felt that this Liu Wei was definitely not comparable to an ordinary government servant. After all, most of those government servants were just trying to get by, and everyone Take the two denarii as wages every month.
Only Liu Wei, apart from being able to read and write, was also very skilled in the art of war and martial arts. I didn't expect to find out today that Liu Wei had such lofty ambitions.
Zhao Feng said with emotion: "Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the country!"
"I think you might as well stop being a government servant and follow me from now on. If one day I can become a successful official, I will also help you and let you work as an official."
Liu Wei looked at Zhao Feng angrily and funny, but after thinking about what Zhao Feng said carefully, Liu Wei felt moved in his heart.
Fate of the nation, everyone is responsible!
Such a profound truth can actually be said by a county magistrate, and judging from the things Zhao Feng has shown before, it seems that Zhao Feng is really practicing these eight words.
Thinking of this, Liu Wei asked Zhao Feng with some doubts.
"Sir, with your talents and abilities, why didn't you pass the imperial examination and directly enter the court as an official?"
"If you take the imperial examination, you will definitely be able to go to high school or even directly enter the court!"
Zhao Feng smiled and waved his hand. He had previously considered passing the imperial examination and entering the officialdom directly.
But the problem is that he knows nothing about the Four Books and Five Classics of this era and the interpretations of those great Confucian scholars. If he really takes part in the very rigid imperial examination, he will definitely not be able to go to high school.
Even if a blind cat encounters a dead mouse, he will directly enter the court. When the time comes, he will be tired of dealing with the intrigues in the court and lose his original intention of pursuing an official career.
So Zhao Feng shook his head and said to Liu Wei very seriously.
"My ambition is not to be an official, but to do something for the people."
"If I were allowed to enter the court, I might as well just resign and go into seclusion!"
Liu Wei looked at Zhao Feng in surprise. He did not expect that Zhao Feng had such an idea.
If that's the case, wouldn't all your Majesty's hard work be in vain?
After all, when Zhou Zhen sent Liu Wei here, it was just to let Liu Wei take a look at Zhao Feng's talent. If Zhao Feng's talent was really outstanding, he could be directly admitted into the court by His Majesty.
Liu Wei thought to himself, it seems that this matter still needs to be reported to His Majesty.
At this time, the dedicated communicators of the militia pair had already arrived.
"Sir, all members of the militia have arrived at their designated locations."
Zhao Feng nodded and took out a map drawn by himself from the box behind Liu Wei, along with 20 chess pieces of different colors.
When Liu Wei first saw this map, he was immediately shocked. If they could have such a map when they were fighting outside, their chances of winning would be much greater when fighting the enemy.
But what surprised Liu Wei didn't stop there. What really puzzled Liu Wei was that he didn't know what Zhao Feng was doing with this map and these chess pieces.
At this time, Zhao Feng found a relatively flat stone, laid the map directly on it, and then placed the chess pieces one by one in the positions he had predetermined.
Seeing this scene, Liu Wei suddenly realized something and asked Zhao Feng in shock.
"Sir, do you want to use these chess pieces to represent the militia?"
Zhao Feng looked down at the map and said without raising his head.
"Yes, since these militia groups have not cooperated with each other, I can only provide unified command to them here."
Then Zhao Feng raised his head and looked at the 20 people standing in front of him. These people were wearing camouflage uniforms of dark green and light green, which were specially made by Zhao Feng.
If you observe carefully, you can see that the chests of these 20 people have different colors, and these colors just correspond to the 20 chess pieces.
"Every word I say next is crucial. When I shout the color of your chest, you must pass my order to your corresponding militia teams."
Liu Wei was still in shock. He looked at Zhao Feng in disbelief. He did not expect that Zhao Feng actually planned to use such a method to deal with these bandits.
Originally, Liu Wei thought that Zhao Feng might go into battle and lead these militia members to charge together, or use the guerrilla tactics that Zhao Feng had mentioned before. However, Liu Wei did not expect that Zhao Feng would choose such an unheard-of strategy. Method.
In fact, in war command, this method of coordinating operations by commanding various units is not unknown, and they even already have it here.
It's just that during the battle between the two armies, the general needed to stand at a very high place to be able to see the square formations below.
At this time, Zhao Feng was completely conducting his command in the dark!
Those militia members were hidden in the dense forest, and Zhao Feng could only analyze them through the map!
This difficulty is simply unimaginable for Liu Wei!
