Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Fast Horses

Yang Bo handed over Lu Yinshi and Sun Jinyi to Mr. Fu, and managed Meizhen without chaos, so that except for the Zheng family being destroyed, the rest of Meizhen looked calm on the surface and did not change much.

On the side of the horse farm, He Qifeng and Fang Lichun were stationed, and the twenty young men who came over from Shenjiabao were usually accompanied by a horse, equipped with sabers and firearms, and rode horses to train every day, Yang Bo hoped to train them into a fast horse team, which was his own armed force.

Without force, you can't say out loud, "I have a mine at home." ”

The Zheng family's fire guns hidden in the silver cellar are considered to be good bird guns in this era, and only twelve guns were released, and one of them exploded, which obviously doesn't work, this is a matter of time, you have to hurry back to the stone temple, the iron-making furnace should be hurried on, use the molten iron smelted by Gan Xin, shoot a new barrel, and give it a try, no accident, the probability of exploding the chamber will be greatly reduced.

Time was pressing, and before the reloader firing pistol came out, these old-fashioned bird guns were used in a desperate way.

The horse farm is only five or six miles away from the plum house, and with horses, it is indeed a lot more convenient, and it will arrive in an instant.

Yang Bo did not get off the horse in a hurry, but urged the horse to go around the horse farm, feeling that he could skillfully control the black horse under his crotch.

There are always more than 100 acres of land in the horse farm, the area is not small, surrounded by wooden fences, and even dozens of sheep are raised, there is a row of houses that can be used as military camps, and the horse shed is stocked with enough forage, it seems that Zheng Shidao is really interested in the horse farm, but now this horse farm is surnamed Yang.

Yang Bo nodded secretly, well, it's not bad.

After Yang Bo slipped around, he relaxed the reins, and the four hooves of the big black horse moved forward rhythmically alternately, not in a hurry or slowly, which made Yang Bo suddenly feel like a knight.

"Phew..."

The big black horse stopped in response, Yang Bo turned over and dismounted, patted the horse's head lightly with his hand, the big black horse stretched his neck, and rubbed his long face on Yang Bo's body, this is Ge Sibao's confession, get off the horse, try to get in touch with the horse, people and horses have a sense of closeness, and at the critical moment, the horse is willing to contribute.

Yang Bo led the horse, walked forward, walked to the position between the barracks and the stable, and heard He Qifeng and Ge Sibao arguing.

“... It's just a ruffian, what is there to brag about, you are so awesome, why did you surrender last night? He Qifeng looked disdainful.

Ge Sibao was not convinced, and said: "Last night, we didn't watch out, the black light was blind, who knew that the Zheng family's soldiers dared to fire at the officers and soldiers, if they knew that there were thieves..."

"How dare you say we're thieves? Be careful, sir, I'll cut you.." He Qifeng was anxious, jumped up and said: "The master will fight with you today, do you dare?" ”

Ge Sibao said disdainfully: "Cut, you should be a child playing at war?" What is the use of personal bravery, fighting is about arranging troops, the art of war is good, and the husband is a good winner without fighting, and it has to be counted as a lot.. Well.. This is more to win, less to win, this is the art of war... Do you understand the art of war? ”

He Qifeng really didn't understand, he was speechless for a while, but Fang Lichun on the side said: "Last night in the fort, I shot the four of you alone, as a hundred households, you should know that the situation has changed, you have no contingency plan, you fight like this, no." ”

Ge Sibao's old face turned red, but he still said stubbornly: "When it is, first, the situation is unknown, the person surnamed Cai didn't understand how to get fat until he died, and second, we only have swords, and we use sabers against firecrackers, aren't we looking for death?" If I also wear a three-eyed gun..."

"You thief, blow as much as you can, let me ask you, have you ever fought with the Jinren?" He Qifeng asked.

"I am from Huai'anwei, where did the golden soldiers fight me, in the early years, I fought a lot. Otherwise, how did you become a hundred? ”

Yang Bo coughed lightly, everyone got up, hugged their fists and said, "Brother (son)"

"Ge Sibao, have you ever beaten the Japanese Kou?" Yang Bo asked.

"Of course, in this area back then, I personally cut down and killed six widows, and I made meritorious contributions to the 100 households." Ge Sibao said this, and walked over and flattered Yang Bo with the reins in his hand.

Yang Bo saw that Ge Sibao was only thirty years old, so he asked again: "Where are you from?" Don't have a wife at home? ”

"I'm Shandong Yin'er, what do you want my wife to do? Trouble, what kind of wood is there in the kiln? Tall, short, fat, thin, pick at will, and it won't be the same for a month. ”

"Stop.." Yang Bo stopped, "There are minors here, don't teach bad children, what about your father?" He Qifeng frowned when he heard this, in fact, he was listening to it energetically, and he really wanted to hear it.

Ge Sibao couldn't help but look dark, and said, "My father and mother have died a long time ago." After a pause, he said: "My family is a horse household in Shandong, and I rode a horse when I was a child. If Childe doesn't believe it, I'll show Childe a small hand. ”

"Okay, you just come out and walk around, and use whatever you can."

When Ge Sibao heard this, his expression was overjoyed, he glanced at the big black horse, and said tentatively: "However, this horse is used to riding, and the son borrows it from me, okay?" ”

"If you really have the ability, this horse will be returned to you, and I will pick another one." Yang Bo said with a smile.

Ge Sibao didn't talk nonsense, he immediately turned over and got on the horse, the whip snapped, his legs urged the horse, and the big black horse suddenly became excited.

Herod... Herod...

The big black horse raised his neck, neighed twice, got up with his four hooves, and ran up, the speed went from slow to fast, and after a while, he galloped up, Ge Sibao suddenly pulled the reins, turned the horse's head, and the black horse neighed again, and the black horse turned around in an instant and rushed towards the pond in the middle.

There was a trench more than a battle wide, and the great black horse galloped all the way, like a gust of wind, and suddenly all four hooves were raised, almost waist-level, and the neck was stretched long, and with a whoosh, he crossed the trench, and the heavy horse's hooves struck the barren meadow with a dull sound.

Da, da...

The sound of horses' hooves is approaching, Ge Sibao urges the black horse, the speed is getting faster and faster, the big black horse is like an arrow off the string, and in the blink of an eye, it will be in front of everyone's eyes again.

Herod... Herod...

The black horse neighed again, and stood up on the ground with a roar, his body almost erected, and before the black horse's front hooves landed, Ge Sibao had already jumped down lightly with a horsewhip in his hand.

The big black horse stopped abruptly, his four hooves fell to the ground, and he stood firmly in front of Yang Bo, the dust splashed up, flew out of the distance, Ge Sibao knelt down on one knee, hugged his fists and said: "Childe, the little one is ugly." That being said, there was a lot of confusion between his eyebrows.

Yang Bo was also frightened, this Ge Sibao's riding skills are really good, regardless of whether he can fight or not, this is enough.

Yang Bo praised: "Yes, I killed the Japanese at you, you taught the riding skills to the fast horse team, and I let you be the chief instructor of the fast horse team, haha." ”

Ge Sibao once again hugged his fists and thanked him, this time even He Qifeng, who was the most unconvinced by Ge Sibao, was quite shocked in his heart, and the contempt on his face was gone.

Yang Bo's eyes swept over Mei Tianyou, Mei Tianyou deliberately turned his face, but the body was in the direction of the pond, Yang Bo shook his head, the two of them walked to the pond in the middle, this pond was originally the site of a kiln factory, because of the mud dug more, forming a depression, this place was divided by the Mei family as a horse farm, just used as a pond, and it is also convenient to give drinking water to livestock.

"Mr. Mei, are you sure the money is still there?" Yang Bo asked.

Mei Tianyou was still angry, and said disdainfully: "Of course, this cocoon is planted after burying the silver, and it is a stubble every year, and it has never stopped, and the old man comes to check it every year, hum.."

If you want to dig out the silver, the water in the pond has to be drained first, and you can only use manpower to scoop it out bucket by bucket in these years, Yang Bo called He Qifeng and Fang Lichun, and whispered a few words, the two of them showed joy on their faces, and nodded again and again.

The area of this pond is not small, drain the water, it is estimated that it will take an hour or two, it is also boring to stay here, there is Mei Tianyou staring here, Yang Bo thought, this will be a military camp in the future, it is indispensable to check the surrounding terrain, it is better to take this opportunity to ride a horse and look around.

Yang Bo really didn't use the big black horse, but found another one.

Yang Bo remembered that Ma Daochang said that the place where Shenjiabao is located is a peninsula, like the back of a crocodile, crawling on the sea, the implication is that the land of Shenjiabao is not mature, so it cannot be cultivated, and the Ming Dynasty is an agricultural country, there is no arable land, and the natural government is unwilling to take care of it.

It's somewhere between mountains and plains, and the terrain is quite complex, with hills, slopes, ditches, and flat land, which is just right for growing crops.

Yang Bo rode down and saw several places that could be used, such as this place at his feet, on the left is a gentle slope, behind the slope is a hill that is not too small, and this place is the only way from Meizhen to the horse farm, if there is an enemy attack, this is a good place to set up an ambush.

Yang Bo pulled his horse, got out of the back of the hill, and returned to the road, but saw a well-made carriage slowly driving in front of him, this kind of + carriage is rare in Meizhen, and the carriage is heading in the direction of the horse farm.

The horse farm is now his territory, and it is not an exaggeration for Yang Bo to be a little vigilant.

Yang Bo chased after him, and when the coachman saw that a horse was catching up, he said something to the people in the carriage, and then drove the carriage to the side of the road.

"Uncle, are you going to the horse farm?" Yang Bo caught up, saw that the coachman was in his forties, and asked.

The coachman glanced at Yang Bo, just nodded, and didn't pay much attention, then someone opened the curtain of the carriage, poked his head out, and looked outside.

Yang Bo saw that it was a woman, and couldn't help but be stunned, and suddenly remembered what Mei Tianyou had said in the morning, and said in his heart, this is that Mei Xian'er?

Mei Tianyou said it well, this woman just glanced at it, and Yang Bo felt that she was born with a beautiful appearance and a very good look.

Mei Xian'er just glanced at Yang Bo, Yang Bo was still wearing Orion's short clothes at this time, and of course the bottom of the black pot on his face was washed.

Mei Xian'er waved her hand and motioned for the coachman to continue on her way, but Yang Bo rode his horse and was left behind.

The car grunted forward for a while, and suddenly stopped, but the people in the car got out of the car and looked back at Yang Bo.

Now Yang Bo saw it clearly, this Mei Xian'er was wearing a dark purple jacket, and if he didn't pay attention to it, he thought it was also black, and there was white mink fleece exposed at the opening of the placket, and there was a long black group below, just standing quietly in the wind like that. A beautiful forehead as smooth as jade, a pair of beautiful eyebrows, under the eyebrows are deep eyes, cheeks are as white as hibiscus and red, delicate and beautiful, beautiful and unparalleled.

Yang Bo urged the horse to come over, but before he could speak, Mei Xian'er spoke, "It's Yang Bo right away, Yang Gongzi?" ”
