"We have been ordered to clean up the surrounding area. Are there any bandits or rebels here?" After hearing the words of the visitor, Sergei Waza had no choice but to rush forward and said.
"Back to the military master, our Qing Dynasty is now in the prosperous age of Qianlong. The place is peaceful and the country is peaceful and the people are safe. How can there be any rebels? My village is full of ordinary people who make a living by farming. The village is very poor. Even if there are bandits, they can't look down on us. Those pots and pans for poor people." Wang Sheng, who had asked before, quickly replied.
"It's okay if you don't have it. My brothers were ordered to come all the way to quell the local disturbances. It's not easy. I should collect something from you." Serge Waza said with an awe-inspiring look.
"The military master is right. It is because of the hard work of the military masters that we civilians can be stable. If the military masters don't accept our wishes, how can we feel sorry for ourselves?" Wang Sheng's face immediately piled up. He replied humbly with a smile.
"Well, you are very good. Since you have such filial piety, we reluctantly accepted it. You go back and prepare your things first, and we will go to the surrounding areas to check for you whether any of those blind bandits will come to harass your village. ." Serge Waza nodded with satisfaction to Wang Sheng.
"Yes... yes, Master, please be busy first. Thank you for your hard work, Master. Let's go back and prepare things." Wang Sheng nodded and bowed and said with a smile.
"Well..." Serge Waza waved his horse team away with a smile on his face.
It wasn't until the cavalry had gone far that Wang Ya suddenly noticed that his rooster had also been taken away.
…
"Everyone, stop looking. Let's go back and discuss what to do with the things we have to prepare for a while!" Wang Sheng shouted to everyone.
"Village chief, are we going to give the chickens and ducks we have worked so hard to raise to these bandits?" Wang Dazhen, a young man in the crowd, asked feeling very uncomfortable.
"Hey, what a gift! Everyone has seen the situation. If we hadn't offered to send them something just now, this group of 'robbers' might have done something extraordinary. Let's just spend money to eliminate the disaster. ! It’s not worth it if you offend them and get wounded by swords and arrows.” Wang Sheng replied with a sigh.
"The village chief is right. Gentleman, you are still young and ignorant. It will do no good to us to go head-to-head with these 'gods of plague', so just kill a chicken and send it to the 'god of plague'!" Another young man said. Wang Kaixin nodded in agreement with Wang Sheng's words.
"Yes... yes, others are equipped with swords, bows and horses. If we anger them, we will definitely not be able to defeat them. It is best to give them something to solve the problem."
As soon as this statement came out, several others nodded in agreement.
"Okay, then let's go back and discuss it. Let each household have a chicken or a duck!" Wang Sheng greeted him quickly when he saw this.

Serge Waza's horse team has been drifting away, slowly and completely out of sight of the villagers.
"Lord Waza, are we leaving like this?" Seche Muharo quickly chased Serjie Waza on his horse and asked.
At this time, each horse in the team was swinging with a chicken or duck.
"Leave? No, I haven't gotten what I want yet. This is just the beginning." Serge Waza said with a lewd smile on his face and his body swaying on the horse indulgently.
"Sir, are we going to dress up as bandits and rob them?" Seche Muhako heard this and immediately asked with excitement on his face.
Seche Muha's words brought a smile to Serjie Waza's face, but he did not see any other response from Serje Waza.
"Don't worry, sir. We are very familiar with doing this. As long as you allow it, we promise not to let others see that we did it." Seche Muhalu continued.
Serjie Waza shook his head, denied Seche Muhaluo and said: "Muhaluo, what are you anxious about? Remember, our first task here is to pacify the thieves in the south. When we get to the south, we It doesn’t matter if you rob openly and boldly.”
"As for here, it's not convenient for them to take prisoners now that they've been robbed. It won't be too late to come back after we go to the south to quell the rebels. By then, with the military merits in hand, the court won't be able to say anything. I'm determined on that woman. "Serge Waza said with a lewd smile.
"Don't worry, sir, I will definitely catch that woman back for you." Seche Muhaluo immediately replied with a smile on his face.
"Haha...Muhaha, you are very good..."

The 22nd year of Qianlong's reign, the first day of March
Qingming Festival, also known as the Outing Festival, is a traditional Chinese festival. It is a day for worshiping ancestors and sweeping tombs.
Since February, Zhang Rui first hid in his room tinkering with bottles and jars, then "cultivated" elixirs, and then led a group of people to hide in the school grounds while "not doing their job properly."
Nowadays, many businesses are waiting for prosperity, but as the leader, the King of Han often leaves things behind and disappears. The officials naturally complained, but the officials could not figure out Zhang Rui's temperament. Although they had some gossip, they did not dare to say it in front of Zhang Rui.
It was not until Zhu Zhang arrived that the officials seemed to see hope and asked Zhu Zhang to "catch" Zhang Rui and "educate him well."
"King Han, although our army has captured the city of Nanjing, the situation is still not optimistic. You can't be like the wise Emperor Tianqi, who hides in the house all day doing what you like. All the officials are waiting for your leadership. Here!" Zhu Zhangzhang looked at Zhang Rui and said unceremoniously.
"Uncle, it's enough for all these officials to do things according to their respective responsibilities. How else do they need to be led? If they can't do anything and they still need me to direct them to do it, what else do I need them for?" Zhang Rui wondered. replied.
"But King Han, you can't hide in the school grounds all day long and not do your job! There are still big things that require your decision-making!" Zhu Zhangyi continued.
"Are you not doing your job? I think so too! I have racked my brains to get rid of the Jiangnan camp of the Manchu Tatars. The Shadow Guards found out that Qianlong had ordered the mobilization of the Eight Banners frontier army cavalry to come to the Jiangnan camp. A big battle is inevitable again," Zhang Rui said.
"The combat effectiveness of the Tatar border troops is not comparable to that of ordinary green camp soldiers. The results calculated by the staff department are: Most of our troops are green camp soldiers who surrendered and are not well trained. Even if they can defeat the border troops, the casualties are estimated to be Not too few, especially if we encounter a Tatar cavalry charge, the casualties will be even greater."
"Indeed, I heard about it in the staff department." Zhu Zhangyi nodded and responded: "However, it is precisely because of this that King Han must cheer up and lead the entire team to face the current enemy. "
