Chapter 140: All Shrink
Although the soldiers and bandits have been inseparable since ancient times, in fact, the people of the rivers and lakes still have to be polite to the officials. So those people stopped, and Xie Dahu hurriedly asked, "Friend, I don't know where I did wrong, can you give me a clear word?" That white two...... What did you do? ”
"You really don't know? Don't you people who eat public food hear the news yet? ”
"I don't know. Brother is the tiger of the Yamen of Ye County, if he can tell him, he will definitely thank each other in the future. ”
Xie Dahu's clothes as a servant had an effect, and those people also wanted to sell their friendship in the official mansion, so they led them to the side: "It turned out to be Master Hu." Didn't you hear about Pingdu a few days ago? ”
"I don't know! I don't know! ”
"Second Master Bai led people to Pingdu, slaughtered a village first, and killed chickens and dogs. Then he went to Pingdu Prefecture City, in front of several officials in the Pingdu Yamen, and the Pingdu Lin Hao who was killed was bleeding. Even Lin Hao was hanged alive outside the window of his restaurant. ”
"Huh? He dares to kill officials? Xie Dahu suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
"What's wrong with your ears? The official was on the side at the time, but he didn't kill him, and the official was so frightened that he didn't dare to move. At that time, even the city gate was so frightened that it was closed, and I thought that the horse bandits had come to rob the city. ”
"Huh? How dare he be? ”
Squinted at Xie Dahu and saw that his face was already miserable. Those few people didn't say more: "Master Tiger, I advise you, run quickly!" Don't really annoy the second master Bai inside! ”
"Eh, eh! Thank you. While talking, Xie Dahu turned around and ran wildly without hesitation, "What are you doing in a daze?" Run! ”
There was an uproar, and everyone fled regardless of it. Zhang Tao hurriedly caught up with Xie Dahu: "Tiger Master! You...... Why did you forget to throw your ticket? ”
Xie Dahu slapped Zhang Tao on the back of his head: "Bastard, do you still want to throw it?" You don't want to die, I still want it! ”
"Yes...... But what about errands? ”
"Whoever loves to go, who goes! Bao Lao is too inauthentic, why does it hurt us who run errands? ”
……
When Qin Bai heard the news from outside the workshop, he just smiled slightly. The table is already full of dazzling, and the hot pot preparation is relatively simple. He commanded the crowd: "Hurry up and serve, eat and eat!" ”
A large bowl of scallion oil noodles was put down on the table in front of Qin Bai, and Ding Yao smiled and retreated to the woman's table. Qin Bai took a big bite, and looked up to find that Qin Gao beside him was at a loss with his mouth open, as if he was thinking, "Why don't you have it today?" ”
Li on the side dared to serve wine for Qin Baiman: "Second brother, what should I do?" The matter of conscription must always be settled. ”
Indeed, Qin Bai was also pondering this matter in his heart. As if it was thirteen gold medals, this was the second time. It seems that I can't wait, and I will see it at any time.
But the mouth was still very calm: "Since they didn't enter the door, then we don't know." Nothing! Eat fast, eat fast! ”
“……”
Although his mouth was calm, Qin Bai was already on red alert in his heart. Early the next morning, he evacuated all the people here to Xiaohongling Village again, and notified Xiao Wei, Da Tumour and Fat Bear in Nansanfang, and asked them to send a few people to take care of the shop. also informed Tie Sheng to take care of Dream Xianju.
Then he notified Laizhou City and asked them to find a way to go to Yamen to find out the news. In addition, I also sent a few people who were familiar with Pingdu to find out what was going on in Pingdu. As for private mines? Let Du Bai's men stop work and evacuate first, and this time also withdraw all the miners to Xiaohongling. A large number of spies were sent around the stockade to prevent a sneak attack.
Whoever the enemy is this time is, it's always right to huddle together. And let the yamen not find himself for a while, and he can't get the ticket, so he can pull the skin from then on, and there will always be room for maneuver.
……
If someone asks, how would they feel after becoming Qin Bai's subordinate? Maybe a hundred people have a hundred theories. But there's one thing that everyone will mention, and that's busy! Busy from morning till night!
More than 600 people entered the village, and there was enough food to supply more than half a year. Moreover, the whole village has been divided into four areas: the residential area, the training area, the warehouse area and the match workshop area. Therefore, after everyone entered the village, those who had been trained now stepped up their training without production. The rest began to produce matches, and the other began to build houses.
In the match workshop area, there is a separate and well-guarded courtyard. There were two people in it, both of whom were older, and neither of them had any family. And the two men worked once every five days, and the work was quite simple, which was to take care of the copper distillation equipment in the house, and distill enough red phosphorus to be used.
And these days, the guards outside were surprised to find that the two seemed to be much busier. Until that day, Jing Jian led a few people into the courtyard, and when he saw the two of them coming forward, he asked, "Have you done everything you have done?" ”
"Second Master Bai, the little one is done." As he spoke, the man who walked in front smiled and pointed to a row of clay pots on the side of the wall, there were more than two dozen of them. Although they were in a state of detention, Qin Bai not only offered a high salary of 100 taels a year, but also promised to buy a few women for them to inherit the lineage, and even promised that they only needed to work for five years, so these two people are quite satisfied with their current lives.
"Then we'll move out now!" Qin Bai motioned to his subordinates to carry it. Whether it is white phosphorus, yellow phosphorus, or red phosphorus, it is actually easy to spontaneously combust. Although it is not safe to make black powder here, the stockade is still too small to find any secret place, so it can only be prepared here temporarily.
Now in Qin Bai's hands, there is no shortage of sulfur, and charcoal and saltpeter are easy to buy, so there is no doubt that black powder comes to mind. It's just that the amount is too small, and only these 20 cans are prepared. The biggest shortcoming is still sulfur, and a part of the production of matches still needs to be left.
When the 20 cans of gunpowder were loaded into the car, Li Kang on the side asked, "Second brother!" Will anyone really come? ”
Qin Bai smiled slightly: "It's always right to be careful." Even if it's not, let's take it as a drill. ”
"What is a drill?"
"Uh......" Qin Bai couldn't find the right words to explain for a while, "It's just to do it according to the plan, it doesn't really happen." It's like an emergency gathering at night, so you won't be in a hurry when the time comes. ”
"And let's make some Molotov cocktails you made last time?"
"I have already arranged for someone to do it, and there are not many of them, and vegetable oil is expensive!" Qin Bai explained with a smile, "And the white thing is poisonous, and it's not good for your body to do too much." Those two are also my own brothers, in fact, I'm going to let them do it for a year, and then stay away from that thing. ”
