Chapter 1625: The Four Skills of the General of the Yamen
There are strong winds in the northeast as soon as spring comes. Today's wind is quite strong, and the branches all over the mountain are shaking.
Two jeeps drove into the forest farm gate one after the other and both stopped beside the forest farm office building.
The rear door of the second jeep opened. Li Dayong got out first, and then helped Zhao Youcai down.
"Brother, go slower." Li Dayong carefully supported Zhao Youcai. All the way in the car, Li Dayong always sat with Zhao Youcai in the back seat. He was afraid that Zhao Youcai's back would hit the backrest, so he kept supporting Zhao Youcai with his hand.
Zhao Youcai looked at Zhao Jun and others who were whispering to each other not far ahead, and asked in confusion: "What are those guys whispering about?"
As he said this, Zhao Youcai quickened his pace. When he caught up with Zhao Jun and his men, he heard Zhao Jun teaching Li Baoyu and his men, "In the mountaineering group, the most eye-catching leader is called a general. The generals in the mountaineering group are all very capable. They can see the scenery of the mountains, press down the mountains to secure treasures, carry immortals back from the mountains, and swallow gold when they leave the mountains."
Zhao Jun, who had never been educated, suddenly said these words, which stunned Li Baoyu and others.
Just when everyone was about to ask Zhao Jun for specific details, a voice suddenly came from behind Zhao Jun: "If the bottle is not full, half the bottle is full. If you know anything, just say it."
"Hmm?" Hearing the familiar voice, Zhao Jun turned around and called out "Dad", then said unconvincedly: "Shao Tu's claws told me this, what the old man said, how could it be false?"
Zhao Jun was good at freeing people from the mountains, and he was quite skilled. But his skills were mostly honed through practice in the mountains of the Far East of Luosha. However, due to the harsh environment at the time, Zhao Jun's freeing of people from the mountains was simple and rough, and he didn't understand the rules and old-fashioned traditions of freeing people from the mountains.
But when they went to Qiaotou Village last year, Zhao Jun, Zhang Yuanmin and Jie Chen came to the Shao family for a banquet. Zhao Jun, who didn't drink, finished eating first and was taken to the back room by Shao Yunjin and Shao Tianpeng.
In the back room of the Shao family, two generations of Shao family gang leaders told Zhao Jun many strange stories about gangs in the old society.
Hearing Zhao Jun's retort, Zhao Youcai smiled disdainfully and said, "He's an old man with a beard, and he only knows half of it."
Zhao Jun was stunned. He never expected his father to be so arrogant. The bandits that Widow Wang had led were not ordinary people. Blind Yang was the best gunner in Shibadaogang and the leader in the hunting business. And Shao Tuzhao was the boss of the mountain hunting business, and Pang Sanyan, who founded the Pang Family Gang, was Shao Yunjin's apprentice.
Zhao Youcai's current spear skills are indeed remarkable, but when it comes to letting the enemy go, he is not even as good as Zhao Jun. I don't know where he got the courage to question Shao Yunjin.
This was outside, and the Zhao army didn't dare to confront Zhao Youcai.
"Master." Seeing that Zhao Jun didn't speak, Li Baoyu immediately asked Zhao Youcai, "Then you know what the general is talking about."
"How can you talk to your uncle like that?" Before Zhao Youcai could say anything, Li Dayong quit. Seeing his father's cold and arrogant look, Li Baoyu didn't dare to say a word.
At this moment, Zhao Youcai raised his hand to stop Li Dayong, and then said to Zhao Jun and others: "In the past, when there was an emperor, ginseng and mink fur were not obtained casually. They had a special unit called Dasheng Ula Yamen."
Zhao Jun and the others didn't understand what Zhao Youcai said, and asked in unison: "What is that?"
"Dasheng Wula Yamen." Zhao Youcai repeated what he had just said. Seeing that these people were still confused, Zhao Youcai explained: "Dasheng means hunting wild animals, which is what we do when we hunt animals."
After hearing him say that, everyone realized who was hunting. It was the first time they heard someone call it hunting, so they were all stunned.
"Master." At this time, Li Ruhai replied in a timid tone, "Ula means straw sandals."
"What straw sandals?" Zhao Youcai glanced at Li Ruhai, and then said, "This Wula is not Wula grass. It refers to a town called Wula in Lingnan. It is now a gathering place for Manchus. It is more than 200 miles away from here. The government office was there at that time, so it was called Wula Government Office."
"Oh my god!" Zhao Youcai had just finished speaking when he heard Lin Xiangshun exclaim, "Second Uncle, you also know this?"
"Ha!" Zhao Youcai smiled proudly and said, "What doesn't your second uncle know?"
Hearing what Zhao Youcai said, Zhao Jun suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu. He subconsciously looked at Wang Qiang, and Wang Qiang happened to look at Zhao Jun as well.
The uncle and nephew looked at each other, and then stared at Zhao Youcai in unison.
At this time, Zhao Youcai said to himself: "At that time, the Manchus did not distinguish between the Six Banners and the Eight Banners. The hunters in the government office were all bannermen, those who roamed the mountains were called Canding, and we hunters were called hunters."
"Oh." Hearing this, Zhao Jun asked Zhao Youcai with a little curiosity: "Dad, several generations of our family have been hunters, so our ancestors were also hunters, right?"
"Bullshit..." Zhao Youcai felt something was wrong when he was halfway through his words, and quickly changed his words: "I won't say anything, those people who kill animals are all bannermen, they must all be Manchus, we are not."
"Dad." After hearing what Zhao Youcai said, Zhou Jianjun asked him, "There was an old man in our village before. Was he a hunter?"
Zhou Jianjun remembered that when he was a child, there was a gunner named A Dan in their village, but later no one knew where that man disappeared.
"It seems to be his grandfather, right? Hunting is also inherited from his ancestors." Zhao Youcai knew who Zhou Jianjun was talking about, and immediately responded: "I remember that old man was very powerful and could use a bow."
After saying this, Zhao Youcai brought the topic back and said, "At that time, it seemed that there were people who sold pearls to the emperor. What was it called... Dongzhu, or something else? I can't remember clearly.
Anyway, these things are quite valuable. At that time, the management was very strict. They searched people every day, and there were patrols back and forth. There was a senior official in their government office. Under him were people in charge of hunting and people in charge of military service. The heads of these people were all called generals. "
"Ah..." Everyone listened to what Zhao Youcai said and felt that what he said was not false, because Zhao Youcai could not make up such a thing by himself.
"Master." At this time, Li Baoyu asked Zhao Youcai, "What did Pang Laoer say? His father can be called a general in this industry?"
"That's right." Zhao Youcai continued, "Later, the emperor and his men were no longer powerful, and things got chaotic here. Many people used the banners of the former government offices, saying they were generals, and gathered a group of people to go to the mountains and carry clubs.
But if you don’t have the skills to help a gang, you’ll be in trouble. Later on, you’ll be the big shot in the industry, and everyone will recognize you as a general.”
"Then what I said is not right?" Zhao Jun said: "Only those who are capable can become generals."
At this point, Zhao Jun counted on his fingers and continued, "Observing the mountain and blocking the view, pressing the mountain and securing the treasure, these are four skills, shouldn't a general be able to master them all?"
Zhao Youcai was stunned by Zhao Jun's question. Seeing that his elder brother was stuck, Li Dayong quickly pushed Zhao Jun aside, and then quickly changed the subject and said to Zhao Youcai: "Brother, you just mentioned the Dasheng Wula Yamen. Wula is a place name, and Dasheng means hunting. Then why is hunting mixed with freeing the mountains?"
"Brother, how could you forget?" Zhao Youcai said with a smile, "What did people call a club in the past? Wasn't it called Cao Xian'er?"
"Ouch!" Li Dayong was very surprised when he heard this: "Did Cao Xian treat them like wild animals?"
"That's nothing, Dad." Li Baoyu said, "The fox fairy and the yellow fairy were both conferred by the emperor."
"That's true..." Li Dayong was speaking when he suddenly felt Zhao Youcai stopped.
Li Dayong raised his hand and saw Huang Gui and others standing opposite him.
I have been out these days treating my Achilles tendonitis, so I have been writing on my phone, which has delayed the update a bit.
Today I am short of 2,000 words. I will go home tomorrow morning and make up a chapter of 4,000 words in the evening. The previous day's update was 3,000 words, and the day after tomorrow I will make up another chapter of 4,000 words.
Then, there is still one day left to update, I will make up for it the day after tomorrow. Zhao Jun will definitely get married on the Dragon Boat Festival.
