The Great Bandit in Kangxi Year

Chapter 22

"Heihu is really a genius, what a joy, we only suffered eight casualties, why didn't I expect that?" Niu Mang couldn't help but shouted in a big voice, afraid that others would not know.

It turned out that Jiang Tao saw the lush trees, so he asked the selected 36 people to climb to the tree closer to the Qing army. Surrounded in the middle, Jiang Tao, Niu Mang and other five people were to attract the attention of the Qing army and lead the Qing army under the tree where the righteous brothers were.

When the Qing army came after them desperately, the 36 people got a hint from Jiang Tao and suddenly jumped down to attack the officers and soldiers. It is simply pediatrics.

Jiang Tao and others led the rest of the bandits to fight head-on. Facing the sneak attack from the sky and behind them, none of the Qing troops escaped. Some of the Qing troops who wanted to surrender were all killed by the red-eyed bandits, but Jiang Tao knew that the matter was not over yet. , smiled and said: "Brother Niu, the Qing army still hasn't solved it, let's go, after killing the Qing army, we are brothers."

"Okay, as long as it kills the officers and soldiers, my old cow is strong, don't you brothers?" Niu Mang laughed, thinking: "It's so happy to be able to become sworn brothers with the black tiger! Hey, I only heard that the black tiger was brave before. Man, I don't want him to be resourceful."

"What the head of the family said is true." Niu Mang's subordinates also smiled happily, but the dead Qing army suffered disaster and were all looted.

Jiang Tao saw that Niu Mang's subordinates had switched from shotguns to cannons now, and was about to take all the brothers to meet Huang Tianfeng's black-clothed guards. He didn't want to, but he smelled the choking smell of smoke. He took a closer look and saw that there were smoke rising from the edge of the forest. Smoke and fire.

"No, the Qing army set fire to the forest!" Niu Mang exclaimed, and then hurriedly said: "Hurry up and put out the fire!"

Jiang Tao was furious in his heart. If the weather is high today and there are a lot of dead branches and fallen leaves, if the fire is not put out, this large mountain forest will be burned to ashes. Even if he escapes, the robbed gold and silver will not be spared. Extinguishing!"

But Mr. Huang Qian and the others were running like rats and wolves, and the guards in black kept Mr. Huang Biao in his heart, hurriedly caught up, and couldn't help asking: "Mr. Huang Qian, it's not like we don't have the ability to fight!" , why be so hasty."

"Presumptuous, how can you talk? I didn't hear that there were hundreds of people on the other side, and they killed hundreds of cavalry easily. We only have dozens of people. Are we waiting to die if we don't leave?" Mr. Huang Qian scolded angrily. But thinking about how to shirk responsibility.

Huang Biao shook his head and didn't speak anymore. He usually looks like a dog, but he is also a coward at the critical moment. How can the combat effectiveness of the black-clothed personal guards be compared with ordinary soldiers?He sighed in his heart: "It seems that the Huang family is really going to be defeated. I don't know how the guard is doing now. Hey, let's do our best and obey the destiny."

After Jiang Tao put out the fire, he couldn't help laughing. He saw that Niu Mang's face was blackened, and Niu Mang's eyebrows were burnt off. Everyone also laughed. It took Jiang Tao a long time Stop laughing: "Da Shan quickly go and check it out, brother Niu, why don't we just swore together?"

Wang Dashan rushed out of the forest, Niu Mang couldn't help but said, "I can't ask for it, but here..."

"Haha, you and I are both heroes, so we don't care about these common etiquettes. Besides, with the proof of this world and all the brothers, I, Jiang Tao, named Heihu, am nineteen years old, and I wish to become brothers with different surnames with Niu Mang. When, if you violate this oath, the sky will strike with thunder." Jiang Tao knew the truth of striking iron while hot, and people nowadays pay great attention to oaths, so he knelt on the ground and raised his right hand to swear.

Seeing this, Niu Mang knelt beside him and said loudly: "I, Niu Mang, named Juaxe, will be twenty-three this year. I would like to become brothers with different surnames with Jiang Tao. We will share blessings and share hardships. If you break this oath, God will kill you." Lightning struck."

"Brother!"

"Brother!"

"Young master, there is nothing but a corpse outside the forest." Wang Dashan ran over, and happened to see the scene of sworn worship, feeling envious in his heart.

"Oh, let's go and have a look." Jiang Tao took the lead and saw that the corpse was exactly the same as the armor of the Qing army who was killed just now. He sighed and wondered in his heart: "Why is there another person? Who killed it?" Kill him? Hey, the black-clothed guards just ran away like this. Damn, these black-clothed men are a serious problem, and we must get rid of them quickly."

"Brother, I have been away from the village for a long time, how about going back to Heihu Village with my brother?" Jiang Tao knew that he could not stay here for long, and it would be perfect if he could bring Niu Mang and his men back to the village. He saw that although Niu Mang's men were poorly equipped , but not afraid of death, thinking that such a bandit, with a little training, will be an elite.

"Brother Yixian, but can you bring the old and young on the mountain?" Hearing this, Niu Mang really wished for it. Thinking of the hundreds of young and old in the village who have been suffering with him and not having a good day, he felt very guilty and uneasy. , said with some embarrassment.

"Haha, my brother is gone. My brother's brother is my Heihu's brother. Let's go, we have to leave this place as soon as possible. The Tartar army must be coming." Jiang Tao didn't expect things to go so smoothly, he is not afraid of people More, it depends on whether you can use people.

Niu Mang's subordinates were elated when they heard this, they had already heard about the prosperity of Heihuzhai, now they finally don't have to worry about food.

When Niu Mang brought more than [-] people down the mountain, Jiang Tao was shocked. He saw that all of them were disheveled, with almost nothing in their luggage except weapons and iron pots. One child was naked and had a runny nose. , his little face was flushed from the cold, and he was scrambling and chasing after the brigade, but no one was looking after him, so he must be an orphan.

Jiang Tao felt a pain in his heart, so he ran quickly, took off his coat, wrapped the child, and held him in his arms. The child was only seven or eight years old, and seemed to know his kindness and was not afraid of him. He laughed innocently.

Only then did he realize that the living conditions of "these bandits" were far more difficult than he imagined. People, do you really have to wait until more than 200 years later, when the Han people get used to being enslaved, getting used to injustice, getting used to being a disadvantaged group, getting used to repaying grievances with virtue, and then reborn from the ashes? In this case, let yourself be a bandit, let blood and fire Tell all the barbarians that if they want to take advantage of the Han people, they have to pay the price of extermination.

Jiang Tao's eyes were red, and he looked at the slightly gloomy sky in a daze, but his heart was like a stormy sea. Heartache, anger, and sympathy were intertwined, and it was chaotic. It took a quarter of an hour to come back to his senses, but he saw all the brothers or Holding a child, or supporting an old man, it is obvious that their hearts are not at peace for a moment. These children may be their replicas. Maybe their family members died in this catastrophe. Maybe...

And the bandits in Niumang Village also looked ashamed. Obviously, Jiang Tao taught them a vivid lesson, not only to live by themselves, but also to let everyone live together.

"Da Zhuang led his righteous brothers to break the queen, Dashan opened the way, let's go back to the mountain!" Jiang Tao's words awakened everyone, and he took the lead in striding forward, hating violence in his heart, but knew that verbal words would never work. Son, violence can only be controlled with violence.

Niu Mang was deeply moved: "This is the real hero!"

He followed Jiang Tao closely, feeling energetic all over his body. At first he thought that Heihu would despise these old and weak people, but now he is really ashamed. Such a good man is willing to do the work of a dog and a horse.

Jiang Tao was a little anxious: "It's noon now, but the dry food I brought is gone, and my brother's side is not there. It seems that I need to find a village as soon as possible to buy some food."
