The Great Bandit in Kangxi Year

Chapter 5

Jiang Tao never thought of wiping out the Qing army at all. Now that every loss of his subordinates means one less man, the Qing army has already run down the mountain, but stopped instead, and the formation is not as messy as before. When it was all right, I saw that at this time there was close combat, and three brothers had been lost, but they were not righteous brothers, so they couldn't help but stepped forward with a knife in their hands, and shouted: "The one who surrenders will not die!"

It was just for fun, but I didn't want to really surrender more than [-] officers and soldiers, and another rain of arrows drifted by. The remaining Qing army no longer dared to fight, turned around and ran away.

"Forget it, clean up and go back to the mountain!" Jiang Tao stopped the brothers who continued to chase. After all, there were about a hundred people on the other side, and the rabbit was in a hurry and bit people.

He scanned around and found that Jiang Dazhuang was a little dissatisfied. Although he didn't say it clearly, he couldn't escape his eyes. He secretly smiled in his heart and said, "This kid is quite stubborn and ambitious, but he still has some conscience. He saved the life of a local bandit. If you are really capable, I will dare to use you, if you are an idiot, hehe."

Fortunately, this kid met him, otherwise he would have died countless times, because he likes to think about problems from the standpoint of others, and he knows how to manage humanely, and he also knows the value of talents.

"Jiang Dazhuang chose fifteen righteous brothers to pursue, but there is a condition, you must ensure the lives of all the brothers, otherwise you will not accept orders." Jiang Tao walked up to him and said seriously, with an indescribably solemn tone.

All the disciples have a youthful temper. Hearing the words, he was secretly moved. He felt that today's Heihu is much cuter. Jiang Dazhuang was both surprised and happy. He was happy that he was the leader regardless of past suspicions. Conditions, knowing that this is an opportunity: "My brother is willing to go, and I will definitely take down that dog's head of Qian Zong."

Jiang Tao laughed loudly, shook his head and said: "No need, I sent you to pursue them, one is to monitor the movement of those Qing troops, and the other is to put some pressure on them, this battle does not ask about the results, remember?"

Jiang Dazhuang hesitated for a moment, then hurriedly knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Brother accepts the order, if there is anything wrong, I am willing to be punished."

"Okay, I have to come back today. I will be rewarded heavily when things are done, and I will be promoted to a small boss. In the future, I will be rewarded for my meritorious deeds, and I will be punished for my mistakes. All brothers are like this, remember?" In great chaos, the cottage is in disrepair, and some talents can be promoted.

"Brother! Brother..." Jiang Dazhuang's tiger eyes were red, he hesitated to speak, thinking that his greed almost killed him, he felt very guilty, cursed himself a few words, brought a capable bandit, and added arrows, Stride to chase.

Jiang Tao nodded, thoughtful, it seems that he needs to talk to all the brothers, one is to increase the loyalty of the people, and the other is to explore the reality and ability of the people.

The hierarchy of the Shanzhai is deep and strict, and the small bosses are the low-level "officers" of the Shanzhai. Free from the hierarchy of the Shanzhai, and does not have any titles.

After the big victory, everyone couldn't help being overjoyed when they heard the news, and they were all thinking: "Even the fat man who doesn't like the young master has been reused, so what reward will I get?"

"The rest of the brothers clean up and go back to the mountain to discuss meritorious deeds!" Jiang Tao was already on the verge of falling when he said this, and suddenly he felt dizzy and fainted.

"Young Master..." Everyone shouted in unison.

Cheng Zhang felt desolate, if something happened to the young master, and he had no power to restrain the chicken, who would be able to restrain these wild boys?When he came to the front, he looked around for a while, then he frowned and said, "Don't be impatient, Shaodangjia just lost too much blood, it's nothing serious, Hu Yidao cleans up the mess, you guys hurry up and carry Shaodangjia up the mountain.

…………..
In the meeting hall, Cheng Zhang arranged for people to bury the dead, counted the results of the battle, and felt his scalp tingle. There were more than [-] gangsters in the big village, but only a few hundred young and strong were left in a few days. captive brother.

Thinking of the sadness, I burst into tears. I felt that I was so incompetent that I didn't discover Han Fei's plot earlier, and sighed secretly: "In any case, the old man must keep the blood of the big master. Rest in peace, brother, and don't blame the younger brother. There is no way to save you!"

"Third master, the Qing dog is causing trouble, and thinks the food in our cottage is poor."

Cheng Zhang turned his back, wiped away his tears secretly, and said with a dark face: "Kill the leader who makes trouble, and don't eat it if you don't eat it."

After walking for a few steps, he finally felt uneasy, so he simply came to Jiang Tao's room. He already knew what had happened at this time. Lock up the little bitch."

Jiang Tao was woken up, stunned for a moment, then responded with a light smile: "Hehe, third uncle, sit down quickly, and untie Zicao quickly, she saved my life."

Cheng Zhang snorted lightly, waved his hand, and waited for everyone else to go out, and said angrily: "Nephew, it's all because of my carelessness, that's why I fell into Han Fei's tricks, and the Bai family can't escape."

Jiang Tao asked suspiciously, "Why did the Luo family get involved?"

"My nephew doesn't know anything. Han Fei is Hou Fei. The Hou family was destroyed three years ago. Last time, there was another powerful Bai family to help the officers and soldiers. There are more than five hundred people in the Bai family's Guang family. We have repeatedly made enemies with the Shanzhai, and we will definitely destroy this owl, but it is a pity that it is a bit difficult to protect ourselves now." Cheng Zhang only felt that the Shaozhai Master's temperament had changed drastically, and he was relieved and lamented the difficult future.

Jiang Tao only felt a headache, maybe it wasn't just enemies like the Qing army and Haoqiang, but also the bandits in secret ways. It was a business without capital, but also a life-threatening business. He hurriedly asked, "Third Uncle, has Jiang Dazhuang come back? Have the officers and soldiers retreated?"

"Not long after Da Zhuang came back, he said that the officers and soldiers were returning to the county seat, and they harmed a village on the way. They must have killed the good and pretended to be meritorious. Da Zhuang led his righteous nephews along the way and killed 23 people, and rescued more than a hundred victims. , don’t worry about it now.” Cheng Zhang said with a smile on his face.

Jiang Tao was suddenly upset. These officers and soldiers were also Han Chinese, so what is it to take revenge on the poor?Moreover, the county seat is only fifty miles away from the cottage, and there is no depth at all. The cottage is now only a few dozen elites, and its future is bleak.

Seeing Jiang Tao's serious expression, Cheng Zhang stopped smiling, and sighed: "The connection of the village has changed drastically. Now there are more than 73 people in the village, including 54 elites, [-] old and weak men, and the rest are women and children. There are more than twenty rebellious brothers."

Jiang Tao nodded lightly, and thought to himself: "Why are there so many women and children? By the way, it is the early years of the Qing Dynasty. The Qing Dynasty enforced shaving their hair and changing clothes, and enclosing land. In order to escape the persecution of the Qing court, countless people fled into the mountains. They would rather Those who kept company with wolves and did not submit to the rule of the Manchu Qing Dynasty must be the suffering people who were taken in, oh no, they were the family members of bandits, hey, they must be widows and orphans.”

Cheng Zhang went on to say: "This time the Qing army was defeated and a lot of things were left behind. There were more than 30 poor horses. The cottage was finally wiped out. Now the cottage has a total of about 23000 shi of grain, more than 150 taels of silver, and 153 taels of gold. There are also a box of antique calligraphy and paintings and jewelry, 206 iron gun handles, 85 waist knives, 5000 horn bows, more than 63 arrows, 30 perfect bird guns, more than [-] catties of gunpowder, more than [-] bad horses, and several other weapons. , some sundries."

Jiang Tao was delighted in his heart: "The bandits are so promising, so many gold and silver treasures are distributed, haha, it really is true that no one can get rich without windfall, horses can't be fat without night grass, and there are muskets, hehe, it's just right to form a team of musketeers. "

Thinking of the puzzle, he asked, "Why is there no armor?"

Cheng Zhang rolled his eyes and said, "Master, our Heihu Village is already a very rich village, and some cottages can't even get enough to eat. Besides, it's hard to buy a lot of iron in the cottages."

Jiang Tao understood, but he was thinking hard in his heart: "There is no need to worry about money and food, but there is a shortage of manpower. I wonder if I can recruit?"

He asked directly, "Third uncle, there are very few young and strong in the cottage, is there a magic method?"
