In fact, not everyone can see the difference between "Taishan thieves" like Zhao Jiye, at most it means that he is a "thief and a thief", as for what "has great ambitions", whether it is a robbed or borrowed gentry, what they see is just a group of "ringing horse thieves".

That is, when the magistrates and gentry of Jiaodong counties told the governor about their experiences with all kinds of indignation and grief, and asked the government to send troops to clear it, Zhu Guoqiang, who had just played the banner of "Taishan thief", was riding a team with the "eight hundred ringing horses" under his command, swaggering along the official road, although "going down the mountain", only two hundred "horse thieves", but now there are more than four hundred riders, which can be "thanks to" the horse politics of the Ming Dynasty, as early as the Hongwu period of the government to promote the horse "people's herding", That is, in the North Zhili, Henan, Shandong, South Zhili and other places, there is a number of horses should be paid, if it is not enough, the horse breeder must compensate, the horse breeder is more so broken, turned into a "ringing horse", in order to make a living. The North Zhili area is particularly serious, and it is said that "the grain in the south of the Yangtze River is the most, and the horse in Hebei is the most." In ancient times, bandits on horseback appeared in Shandong region; Before committing a crime, it was often "officers and soldiers who can do anything about me!" "Provocation, on the horse the whistle arrow sounded.

After Zhu Guoqiang waved the banner of "walking for the sky", there were naturally "horse breeders" who rode alone to defect, and of course Zhu Guoqiang would not refuse these "horse breeders" with excellent riding skills, plus the young people who took the initiative to recruit, this was only half a month's effort, and the team of less than 300 people at the beginning was ten times swelled, a full two or three thousand people.

It is such a force of two or three thousand men and horses, which is enough to make the officers and soldiers and township soldiers along the way retreat. After all, it seems that the soldiers are also strong. In fact, these two or three thousand men and horses, although they had knives and guns in their hands, actually played the role of people--pushing ox carts full of gold, silver, soft and grain, and "walking" around, it was now time to pull out the camp and return.

As a "ringing horse", although it can't be talked about without a trace, it is neat and neat when it goes. But when they came, more than 200 horses became two or three thousand, and at the same time there were more than 1,000 ox carts, and each one was full, and the wooden wheels pressed the dirt road one after another to turn the earth.

"The speed of this wood-wheeled cart is too slow, and I have to think of a way to increase the capacity when I go back."

Seeing the wooden cart squeaked and struggled on the dirt road, at least for a moment, Zhu Guoqiang even wondered whether he should get a tractor to come over as a tractor. But this thought is only a fleeting thought, not so much that time and space limit the size of matter, but ...... He was a little worried that these people would worship the tractor as a mount for the gods. In this era where you can worship red bricks as "immortals", things that are too against the sky must come down from the Heavenly Palace.

Just like until now, there are still legends in Jinan, when the god of fire descended to earth, he "borrowed" the magic weapon of the heavenly thunder gong "Lei Gong Hammer", and once struck, he could control the powerful and powerful heavenly thunder - they were talking about the two Maxims.

All right!

They are so legendary, which is also a good thing for Zhu Guoqiang, at least it saves a lot of explanations. In fact, Zhu Guoqiang has long discovered that proper mythology is a good thing for him, many things that cannot be explained do not need to be explained at all, and those people will naturally lean on the gods.

"That's not what I intended......"

Sighing from the bottom of his heart, Zhu Guoqiang once again set his eyes on those strong men who had just joined the gang.

These strong men are both the local tyrants and the bad Kun family's Zhuang Ding, as well as the young and strong people in the village, they are either for a bite of food, or for a few stones of grain and a few taels of silver for the settlement fee, Zhu Guoqiang was fooled on the "thief ship", shed tears to bid farewell to his family, and joined the "Taishan thief", although at the beginning, many of them looked back every few miles, but when they lived a good life of eating meat and food for two days, they naturally stopped being homesick.

In these years, these ordinary people do not have high requirements for life, because of natural disasters and man-made disasters, they can't even eat enough at this time! I wanted to live like I am now.

When you're full, you're homesick.

This sentence, at any time, is accurate.

"Huzi, you say, are we going to eat mutton or pork tonight?"

Sun Qiang, who was driving the cart, asked Sun Hu beside him in a low voice. They are all Zhuang Ding of the Sun family, and now they are all Taishan thieves, and they originally thought that they were "mountain thieves", that is, they ate with their mouths, burned, killed and looted. But who would have thought that this bandit is not another bandit, although they are not allowed to burn and loot, but they can be full of food, and the days when the big meat is enough are much more comfortable than burning, killing and looting.

"Pork, it's still pork, the fat meat is stewed in the pot, the taste is ......"

"Pork, if you want to eat pork, then this one, you have to grab a master first!"

Straightening up his waist, Sun Qiang looked left and right.

"I don't know if there's a big village next to here, if there's a bad thing that doesn't do anything and just robs his mother, if there's another girl or something, maybe it can ......."

Without waiting for Sun Qiang to finish speaking, Sun Hu lowered his voice and said.

"Daqiang, don't talk nonsense, the big boss said, our Taishan thieves have rules, if you break the rules, you have to cut off your head!"

"Look at you, I'm just talking!"

Just when the two of them were talking and laughing, Xu Mingjie, who was riding a horse over there, would look at the big boss from time to time. Since he got on the thief ship in Zouping, he has not gotten off this ship, even if many people have escaped along the way, he still unswervingly follows this ship.

Of course, it wasn't because he didn't want to escape, but because he couldn't escape - in Zou Pingping, he was ordered to write a "notice to calm the people", and no matter what, the crime of "being a thief" could not be escaped. Originally, he thought that he had said those words and wrote the "Anmin Notice", and the big bosses would use him as a master and strategist, but who would have thought that he had been snubbed for a while, and even didn't want to see him at all.

If so, what kind of thief am I!

Isn't the reason why he became a thief to seek a future? Can ...... now It's just an ordinary horse thief. Xu Mingjie complained in his heart, and he heard the second master ask.

"Big boss, let's go there......"

I saw the big boss raise the horsewhip in his hand, point to the direction of Mount Tai and say.

"Tell the brothers, return to Mount Tai immediately, and when you go back, you have to train well!"

Training? What kind of soldiers to train?
