A certain person is the Heavenly Killer Li Gui.

Chapter 14 The government comes to suppress
The summer was hot, and it took only a few days for the gun barrel to dry.

Because it has not been oiled, it will definitely not be durable, but it is more than enough for short-term combat.

Li Gui took a rod and tried to shake it. It felt light in the hand, but it was very tough. It was not easy to break when someone cut it with a knife.

The iron spear head was sharpened and pierced into the tree, leaving a small hole. If it hit a person, half his life would be killed on the spot.

Even if you don't die on the spot, if you don't take timely care afterward, the wound will inevitably become ulcerated and inflamed. If you're lucky, you'll only need amputation, but if you're not lucky, you'll die.

It makes sense to say that it would be better to receive ten knives than one shot.

Infantry these days are consumables, and there is no need to equip them with luxury equipment such as armor and shields. It would be perfect to get some spears for the soldiers to use.

All he had to do was stab a few enemy soldiers to death on the battlefield, and they would all be back.

As for those who unfortunately died in battle, just give them some compensation and then recruit them.

This is how the Song Dynasty's millions of troops came.

The Liao Kingdom and Xixia also had cannon fodder troops, who could not survive and had to join the army to earn a living.

As for how much combat effectiveness it has, it's hard to say.

Those who are really used to fight tough battles have to look at those direct troops.

However, Liao and Xixia treat their troops that can fight as treasures, such as Iron Buddha and Iron Kites. They all need horses for horses and armor for armor. The final decision must be made at the most critical moment, but the spoils must be divided. When the time comes, you must be the first to pick.

Only the Song Dynasty once produced famous generals and literati with swords, but now it is getting worse and worse. They are trying every means to go to Donghua Gate to roll their names. Who would regard a group of murderers as heroes?
Today's Western Army is considered the most capable force in the Song Dynasty, but it is also subject to suspicion and various constraints.

It won't take many years for Emperor Daojun to send people to the Western Army to decentralize power and cause the Western Army to alienate.

In the internal fighting, countless pawns became victims and their bodies were scattered along the Baigou River.

The final result of the power struggle is a lose-lose situation.

However, these matters are still far away from Li Gui, and it is not his turn to worry about them.

If he is not in his position and does not seek to govern, he only needs to consider how to deal with the settlement of the local government.

In the past, the Yushan bandits were not taken seriously by the imperial court because these bandits did not make any big noise. The conquest required money and food, and there was no merit in annihilating them.

But Li Gui killed the steward of the official Li. In order not to damage his own prestige, the official Li must also push the government to come and suppress him.

Based on the original situation of the Yushan bandits, although there were hundreds of people in the village, they didn't even have a few weapons, and they had no training. They were all a ragtag group of people.

As long as the yamen sends out dozens of yamen officers to catch the fast ones, and they are equipped with weapons and armor, they can be easily wiped out without any hesitation.

This is because they don't know that the big boss of Yushan has turned into Li Gui. If they knew, they might not be the police officers coming, but the imperial army.

But there is no airtight wall in the world. In order to make a name for himself, Li Gui never concealed his name.

Sooner or later, these gangsters on the mountain will know that their boss is worth three thousand gold. It will be strange if there is no one who betrays him!

Who knows when the imperial army will arrive at the foot of the mountain?
If we don't train an army capable of fighting before then, it will be difficult to escape by then!

If he hadn't hacked Butler Li to death, he might have been able to hire a guide from Chief Li and escape in advance, but that was not possible now.

The only person he relies on is to be able to kill more and become stronger on the battlefield. Only when he is no longer afraid of wolves, tigers and leopards can he walk freely in the world.

But the officers and soldiers are not pigs. If they stand there and let him be slaughtered, they will definitely swarm him and beat him.

Even if he is made of iron and can drive a few nails, he must have some cannon fodder beside him to share some of the pressure.

As long as these bandits could hold on for a moment in front of the military formation, he would have the confidence to kill the enemy generals and turn defeat into victory.How can a small place like Yizhou have any strong generals?
After that, you can fight monsters, upgrade and change maps. The more you fight, the stronger you will be. Finally, you can go to Liangshan to seize the throne and lay a great foundation.

There are three gangs of heroes, whether it is Song Jiang or Fang La, they have a group of heroes to help them.

Otherwise, the reincarnation of the Overlord of Western Chu would be the result of Wujiang committing suicide by one person alone.

As for simply staying here in Yushan and using this as a basis to recruit heroes from all over the world, Li Gui has never thought about it.

This small village in Yushan has no natural dangers of [-] miles of water. If it is surrounded by a large army, it will not be able to defend it. It can only be settled here temporarily, but it is not the foundation for an uprising.

There were people who rebelled every year in the Song Dynasty, but in the end they were either wiped out or appeased. In the end, no one really had a chance to conquer the Central Plains.

There is no other reason than that the foundation is unstable.

Sure enough, a few days after killing Butler Li, official Li's revenge came.

"Brother, the Yamen is apportioning taxes. What kind of banditry tax will be added?"

"I'm afraid that within a few days, the Yamen will come to suppress them."

Although Li Laoqi looked useless and couldn't lift his arms, Li Gui discovered that he was quite good at being a scout.

Because Li Laoqi has been watching people since he was a child, he is very observant and attentive, so he is perfect for investigating intelligence.

When Li Laoqi reported the intelligence from the detective, Li Gui couldn't help but be furious.

"There are really endless corrupt officials to kill!"

"Maintaining law and order is our job, but we actually take the opportunity to spread extortion!"

It turned out that Li Daguan did put pressure on the Yamen and asked the government to send troops to suppress bandits. However, the county magistrate was unwilling to engage in a loss-making business, so he apportioned it to the people in the county and added a miscellaneous tax, which he named bandit suppression money.

As long as all the merchants and people in the county have something, no one will be left behind.

As for whether the account should be divided between [-] and [-] afterward, it was not something Li Laoqi could find out.

"It's a good thing they made everything public, otherwise it would be really difficult to get information."

Li Laoqi looked at his village master flatteringly, with a hint of fear in his eyes.

He had been searching for information at the foot of the mountain these days, and it was inevitable that he would find out who was pictured on the wanted poster.

If it had been anyone else, he would have gone straight to the Yamen to make a show of his provocation, but Li Laoqi had no such idea at all.

He is not greedy for money, but he is more afraid of death.

Li Gui has killed many people in a row within a few days, and his evil aura has frightened the gangsters. Everyone is afraid of him, for fear of violating his taboo and being killed by his sword.

Timid people naturally have the advantage of being timid. Li Gui dared to let him go down the mountain to find out the information. He was sure that he was a waste. Even if he got the information, he would not dare to betray him.

"A bunch of bad guys!"

"If we attack right away, there's no doubt that the group of tough guys outside won't be able to withstand it!"

"When he is done plundering, and the training in the village is almost ready for use, then we will kill him without leaving any trace of him."

In order to prevent a sneak attack, Li Gui added two additional groups of scouts in the distant mountains and forests, using sharp whistles as signals. Once there was news, he could close the gate of the village at any time and defend the village.

A few days later, Li Laoqi hurriedly came to report that the county government officials had set off towards Yushan and would arrive very soon.
