Chapter 42 Useless

Guangdong, Chaozhou Prefecture, Pingyuan County.

The county seat is located in the capital. It has been established for more than ten years and has no city walls. The northeast of the county is close to the boundary marking of Wuping County, Fujian Province. Lin Manjue, the Ming general who was powerful in Guam, was at the corner of the mountain.

In the past, this place was deserted. In the past six months, the Lin clan, which is within a radius of 30 miles, has sent children here because General Lin has prepared social studies for the clan and has summoned his fellow villagers to set rules.

From now on, all the Lin clans in Pingyuan County can send their children to the Society to study and practice martial arts, food, clothing, accommodation, and all are provided by the Ministry of the City clan. The civil and military training and travel expenses are provided by the Society.

Lin Manjue is indeed a general. Chaozhou Guards have no real lack of Zhengqianhu. They were awarded the rank of Wujie General and also took charge of the military affairs of the Pingyuan Militia Corps to prevent thieves and prepare for bandits.

Their place was from Fujian twelve years ago. Later, Pingyuan established a county and worked as a native of Ganzhou Prefecture, Jiangxi for two years. Later, Pingyuan County was re-entered in Guangdong, and they became natives of Chaozhou Prefecture, Guangdong.

After all, it is still the junction of the three provinces, and the mountains are close to the mountains and there are many iron ore in the area. Sometimes the desperate people hide in the mountains, and sometimes the thieves rush out to loot all directions. If the county cannot stop, they have to rely on militia.

The common people are most afraid of bandits, but the bandits in Pingyuan are most afraid of militia. Therefore, in Pingyuan County, the most powerful one is Lin Manjue, and more than a hundred powerful soldiers he withdrew from Guam.

When Lin Manjue left, no one lived on Wuzhishi Mountain. When he brought his subordinates to carry the coffin back, there was an old monk on the mountain. There was an old monk who claimed to be useless Zen master. In the past, he was a landlord near the countryside and ran to the mountain to become a monk.

The thatched cottage is built in the stone forest, so it is called Shilin Temple.

The temple is not very good, but the useless monk is very rich. He hired people to build a temple, but was bombarded by Lin Manjue from the shelf from the mountain.

"Zeng Er led his troops to the path and killed him. Lin Xiao fired a gun on the mountainside. Don't let one of the stupid thieves go!"

The three-foot bird gun was carried on his shoulder, and Lin Manjue was carrying the rusted old hand axe and ordered dozens of flag troops to attack the temple on the mountain. General Wu Jie hummed with a brow and said, "More than ten stupid thieves, do you still have to gather a militia army?"

This matter has to start from the morning.

The useless monk was robbed by the thieves in the mountains. No one in the village knew that he was because his five sons had no one to deliver food to him during the Chinese New Year. In anger, he dug out the house-keeping silver and ran to the mountains to become a monk. Perhaps it was because he hired someone to build a temple and people knew that the news was reported and the robbers in the mountains were thinking of him.

Dozens of thieves robbed into the temple, not only taking up his money, but also treating Shilin Temple as a copycat.

Although the monk is over fifty years old, how great is the person who can become a monk in one go?

The Zen master's figure was still strong, and he borrowed a horse from the newly built mansion of a wealthy man at the foot of the mountain. He also borrowed a horse from the family of General Lin Manjue of Wujie and ran for more than 60 miles to report to the county seat.

More than a dozen bandits followed the old monk down the mountain and were frightened by the short fort of the Lin clan of the Yamaguchi. They chased him by the way, but they could only see the Zen master riding far away. In the blink of an eye, there was a mansion deep in the forest with high and thick walls. Two stone lions at the door were powerful and powerful. I thought they must be rich, and malicious intentions arise from their hearts.

The house is called Lin Mansion, and the surname is nothing special. Half of Wuping County next to it has surnames Lin, and the other half is surnamed Chen, which is a big surname in Fujian. It is so common.

The gatekeeper was only 100 years old and was easily restrained. He walked around the screen wall of the carving and drawing a giant ship to the sea. There were more than ten northern horses tied in the stable, and the bandits were taught that their eyes would jump out of their eyes. They knew that this was a big family, and they had made a fortune!

It is indeed a big family, this forest is Lin Manjue's forest.

The courtyard had just been repaired in General Lin's house, and two new orange trees were planted, and he called his friends to watch and drink tea.

Speaking of which, Lin Sanlao has no good friends, but he is the deputy general of Qianhu Wuluo, Lin Xiao, and Zeng Xishun, the head of the Chaozhou Wei Town Fu Zhaoxin.

The court retreated from the battlefield and rewarded the people without hesitation. They sold their profits and silver, earning a hundred years of salary. Although the Battle of Guam was only half a year, the intensity was far better than that of them in the past few years. When returning home became the only obsession in the fighter's heart.

But after really returning home, living a peaceful life seems boring.

I was so idle that I got up a mansion, built a society, built bridges and roads, and gathered to drink tea.

They were talking about wanting to return to the Nanyang Military Palace and then fight with the Western Barbarians. Zeng Xishun's friend in Guangdong Dusi wrote a letter a few days ago that the court had negotiated peace with the Western Barbarians, which was very boring. Then he heard the shouts that came to an abrupt end and the sound of a short battle.

When he opened the door and looked over, the old Guam monk who was sitting or standing in various parts of the courtyard looked at the orange tree in surprise. The nine bandits knelt around under the tree, and weapons were falling on the ground.

More than a dozen foreign Lin soldiers, led by Black King Kong, were all wearing tiger-headed iron helmets, wearing craftsman-shaped locked mail, holding hands-on Qi's swords, long-handed golden gourds and other weapons, eyeing them.

There were already three corpses around Black King Kong. One was cut off from his head by the Qi family's knife, and the other two were smashed into the head by the golden gourd, covering the ground with red and white.

The rabbit has entered the wolf's den!

The result was self-evident. The Wuyou Zen Master was also disappointed when he went to the county seat. Whenever the county encountered military affairs, he had to go to Wuzhishi to find Lin Manjue. Wuzhishi was attacked by bandits and ran to the county seat to come to the county seat for customs declaration?

When the official official took the Zen master back to the Five Finger Stone, the battle was over, and the outer wall of Shilin Temple was left with only the broken walls, and the bandits were gone.

General Lin could be considered to have found something for himself. This time the bandits went down the mountain to bring him a reason to summon the militia. The young and strong capitals of Pingyuan sent out weapons and divided their troops into the mountains on the grounds of training and preparing for bandits. In just seven days, four camps were drawn and hundreds of bandits were wiped out. The border between the three provinces was the Qing Dynasty.

When the troops were gone, Lin Manjue often climbed up the Five Finger Stone and sat in the courtyard of Shilin Temple, but did not talk to the Wuyou Zen Master.

He just set his sights on the newly built grass and wood temple, and saw the old monk who gave birth to five unfilial sons watering and chopping firewood, and tremblingly cooking all day long.

"The military government has a new order. When Chen Shuai wrote a letter, he needed a fleet to cross Malacca and head west. I don't know where to go, but the letter stated that the land is like a forest and many enemies are like a forest, and Chen Shuai didn't force me."

Still in the Lin family mansion, still under the orange tree, still those people.

Lin Manjue's eyes swept over his confidant clan brothers and said, "If you go, Lin can lead the general of the 1,700 fleet."

This type of army quota is just a regional small general. Sometimes, leading troops is not as good as a guerrilla, nor as good as a deputy general in Guangdong. However, the difference between this official title of expedition is that he can act alone.

"You are willing to follow Lin to the Nanyang Guard and all the officials will be added."

The young Lin Xiao leaned back and breathed a long sigh. He had already heard the meaning of Lin Manjue's words and said, "Uncle wants to go again? The Grand Marshal did not force me to wait. In the battle in Guam, our troops went to 10 and 17, and this time the Grand Marshal sent such a mission... Uncle?"

"I'm going."

Lin Manjue's hand holding on the table clenched into a fist, knocked lightly on the table twice, nodded and answered solemnly.

He did not tell Lin Xiao that in Shilin Temple, he seemed to see himself as if he had seen his old age from the useless monk.
