This transportation is indeed a big problem, counting on the carriage, the speed will be very slow and slow, and due to the long distance, it is extremely unsafe in the middle, for this, Jiang Fei racked his brains. This is absolutely different from the previous transportation from Gansu and other places, the Sichuan-Guizhou border originally had more horse bandits like carp crossing the river, if they find out, I'm afraid this is not expected to be better.

Zhu Yidao thought about it and remembered something. This thing may be able to solve the problem at hand, he asked his men to get a carriage, and walked around the carriage several times, beckoning everyone to get the barn on the carriage down to reduce the load; And some unnecessary things in the back of the carriage were removed, and the whole carriage became a shelf. He had another sergeant stand between two long, straight handlebars, with a rope on his shoulder, and bent his legs forward.

The very simple carriage then moved, and swayed forward under the incredible eyes of everyone. With the necessary weight removed, the sergeant did not find it difficult at all to pull it up, and happily pulled the cart and ran a long lap; Lao Zhu beckoned everyone to put a lot of weight on the shelf, and asked the sergeant to sit between the two handlebars, point to the ground with his right leg, and hold the handlebars with both hands to see if he could run.

The sergeant tried it in disbelief, but it didn't take much effort! After running around the school yard, he came back and said excitedly: "Qianhu, if this thing is in the countryside of my hometown, it is not generally easy to use!" "Everyone suddenly realized, indeed, not everyone can afford to use the carriage in the countryside, and no one thought that the carriage only needs to be modified to pull things so conveniently! Jiang Fei was very surprised, and circled around the carriage a few times before asking, "What is this......?" What is your name? Zhu Yidao smiled mysteriously and said with a big grin: "Let's call it the Wooden Cow Flowing Horse!" Because after all, it doesn't need real cows and horses to pull, it only needs manpower! ”

In fact, in the modern seventies, the largest and most practical flatbed frame car used in rural areas, although simple, but played a key role in that era, its wide range of application, convenient operation, rural areas in the north and south of the river can be seen everywhere. It can be pushed and pulled, even with a horse. Everyone got excited and took turns to try something new. This kind of frame car only needs one person, and it doesn't need any complicated equipment, and one person can carry hundreds of pounds of goods! In addition, it does not require much effort, and it saves manpower. Soon Jiang Fei asked the craftsmen of Banzhou to build a lot of frame cars, and the craftsmen were also very curious about such a novel gadget, and they were even more amazed when they saw Jiang Fei's demonstration. In less than a month, the rack car was completely popular in Banju, after all, it was bigger, more stable, and could carry more goods than a wheelbarrow.

When the wizard learned from Nion's mouth that this useful gadget was actually from the hand of that Zhu Yidao, his eyes lit up more and more. It seems that this Zhu Yidao is not an ordinary vulgar military household!

Lao Zhu asked everyone to dress up as poor people fleeing, and firearms, waist knives and other ordnance were placed in the most convenient place for the rack car, and the big boxes on it were covered with mud. It looks like it's a group of disaster victims, and no matter how many horse bandits there are, they won't be interested in the disaster victims, right?

Sure enough, although there were quite a few horse bandits, looking at this group of disaster victims who were hurrying away, they thought that there was another disaster in the middle of the river, and there was no difficulty except asking them to leave a little ration. The convoy arrived in Beijing smoothly.

After Wanli knew that he had obtained a large amount of official silver from Banzhou, he was so excited that he didn't sleep well for several nights. It's not that he's greedy for the money, it's that he's never known, or heard, that this war not only didn't cost money, but made money. He made a lot of money selling arms before, and he felt that it was unbelievable enough, but after the battle, the seven Tusi families copied so much cash and could transport it all the way back safely, and they still used unbelievable things such as rack cars, so he was even more surprised. Lao Zhu also specifically mentioned in the secret letter that he had to leave some silver for Banzhou, and Wanli agreed with a heartache that in addition to leaving nearly one million taels of cash for Li Hualong, the rest must be brought back to Jingshi and replenished into the inner money!

This matter is not so easy to hide, after all, dozens or hundreds of frame cars are swaggering through the market, which is too conspicuous. Soon the government and the opposition knew that the emperor not only did not spend money on the rebellion but made money this time, and everyone's eyes were almost green, and they wrote to strongly ask the emperor to replenish part of the funds into the treasury to make up for the shortfall. Now Wanli won't do it, and he resolutely disagrees! At the beginning, I asked you to find a way, whether it was the military department or the household department, they all shirked it, saying that there was no way to think about it; Now that I have not only solved it, but also brought back the silver taels, one by one they are red-eyed? Now that you know this, why did you go earlier?

After meeting Wanli in secret, Zhu Yidao and Jiang Fei quietly sneaked back to Banzhou with the men and horses again. Wanli asked them to not only stabilize the situation in Banzhou, but also to think of a way to see if they could expand the sale of arms to some countries or tribes in the Western Regions. He now has a thorough understanding of the benefits of selling arms, and when he can't count on the government's taxes, he can only follow these so-called evil ways, and this year's national policy of collecting taxes in advance has proved to be an idea that brings disaster to the country and the people! It not only brought the granary of the Ming Dynasty to the people of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, but also brought a lot of hidden dangers to the stability of the Ming Dynasty. Wanli actually knows everything, but in his opinion, it is the responsibility of the officials below.

Lao Zhu's nose is almost crooked! This sale of weapons is not a long-term solution, and it can only have a better effect in the short term, and there is not much trouble in the west of Daming at the moment, if a tribe is fattened, it is possible to immediately backfire against Daming, the situation in Banzhou is not the same as the situation in the northwest, that is because Zhang Bonan's arms business can better contain him! But Wanli still has a bottom line after all, and it can be sold to anyone, but it can't be sold to the Japanese Kou!

But just when he was still on the way back to Banzhou, there was extremely bad news: Yang Yinglong's son Yang Chaodong took advantage of the chaos to run quietly, and when he saw that the situation was not right, the wolves and the die-hard Miao soldiers took advantage of the opportunity to slip out. When he heard that dozens of members of his family had been killed, he was filled with grief and indignation, so he raised thousands of die-hard Miao people, and publicly declared his rebellion according to Nanmu Mountain, Yangjiantai and Santong. Jiang Fei's face suddenly turned to ashes!

Banzhou is a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the surrounding terrain is also extremely complex, with mountains and rivers all over, especially Nanmu Mountain, surrounded by cliffs, except for a sheep intestine trail in the middle, there is a tendency for a husband to pass and ten thousand people to open. The reason why he discussed with Zhu Yidao to quell the rebellion through internal infiltration was to avoid a strong attack. Fighting here, if there is no help from the Miao people who are extremely familiar with the terrain, they simply can't get in and can't get out. But the worst situation still appeared, the number of Ming troops was too small, the wolves plus the right station of the Beijing division were less than 200 people, and more than 100 people had been used to escort grain and grass, in fact, the current Ming army in Banzhou was less than 100 people.

The reason why Banzhou is stable now is completely relying on the supreme prestige of the village elders and wizards, but if the Ming army can't show its tough force, I'm afraid they won't support the Ming army for long.

"Apply for reinforcements! Relying on our people, we can't do it at all! Zhu Yidao raised his head and looked at the sky, this damn place! Why is the climate so hot?

Jiang Fei nodded speechlessly, he still had to rely on the emperor and the imperial court, and the army to besiege these few natural dangers, otherwise there was really no way to think about it.

The news soon reached Jingshi. Wanli, who has enough money and silver, has a lot of confidence, but he still has a lot of doubts: the foundation of the Yang family for so many years is in his own hands, what does he Yang Chaodong rely on to support his thousands of rebels? Could it be that there is a small treasury somewhere else? The Cabinet was immediately instructed to deal with the matter. The cabinet was also very angry when they got the news, Banzhou had been defeated, and if it was lost again, I was afraid that the imperial court would have no prestige at all in Sichuan and Guizhou, so he did not hesitate to dismiss Jiangdongzhi as governor of Guizhou on the grounds of delaying the military aircraft, and replaced him with Guo Zizhang; He also ordered Li Hualong to continue to serve as a squire in the military department, control the military affairs of Sichuan, Hu, and Guizhou provinces, and mobilize Liu Ting, Ma Gui, Chen Lin, Dong Yiyuan and others to lead the troops to the south. Ma Gui is an old ruffian, and as soon as he heard that there was a battle, he jumped three feet high, hurriedly ordered his troops, and rushed to Guizhou.

With such a big move on the side of the imperial court, Zhu Yidao discussed it with Jiang Fei, he first took his men and horses directly to Nanmu Mountain, Jiang Fei went back to gather the remaining people, and it was best to move some Miao soldiers to follow the battle, but anyone who is willing to go on the expedition, as long as they can survive after the war, all of them will join the right place of the Beijing Division! Lao Zhu repeatedly emphasized to him that if necessary, the wizard had to come forward, and the purpose of these people was to show the existence of the imperial court, not to quell the rebellion on behalf of the imperial court, and they must not act rashly before the arrival of the army!

Jiang Fei took the order and took two people to Banzhou, while Zhu Yidao began his difficult Long March career. It was the first time for the wolves to fight together with the right of the Jingshi, looking at the familiar tactical movements of these people, listening to the high and loud military horns, everyone was a whole, an inseparable whole. Since it was originally to escort the silver two into Beijing, in order to prevent the sneak attack of the horse bandits, everyone's ** gunpowder supply is relatively sufficient, so they are not too worried, but after entering Nanmu Mountain, they all become cautious, after all, in this dense jungle, the Miao warriors are the best killers! The thousands of remnants under Yang Chaodong, although there are not many of them, they know the shape of this place well, Zhu Yidao thinks about this, but his heart is full of the pleasure of challenge, this is the best opportunity to train the troops!
