When the families knew that Zhang Ming was transported by boat, they were shocked.

The seven major salt merchants panicked, and a large number of salted fish arrived in Xuzhou, which was their lives.

The Seven Salt Merchants were once again together.

They don't know how many times it is.

This time, after everyone was together, Cao Xing said: "Tao Thorn Shi has to wait for the edict of the imperial court, use a regular method, I don't know when it will be solved, and by that time, we will be broken if we don't go bankrupt." ”

A few people nodded, and this was really the case.

"Then we can only do it secretly, and each of our families has not raised a group of people." Wu Zhi, the head of the Wu family, said with an angry expression.

Wu Zhi's words made Zhou Tan deeply agree, and he said: "In this matter, each of our families must participate, and each family will send some people to directly grab this batch of salted fish." ”

The seven major salt merchants were ready to make a move, and Zhang Ming brought a large amount of salted fish, which made them unbearable.

As a result, the seven salt merchants began to plan, and it would take a few days to mobilize manpower, because some of the salt merchants had manpower in other counties.

And Zhang Ming and them, after slowly unloading and unloading, they were immediately transported away, and then prepared to sell them in various places.

With the sea lane, it will be more efficient and cheaper in the future.

This is a disaster for the major families.

"Zhicai, you work harder, recruit a group of displaced people, transport them to southern Fujian by sea, and plant tea there."

Before, Zhang Ming had to take people over, but the road was really difficult to walk, and it might take half a day to cross a mountain, and the efficiency was too low, so he could only take the sea route.

"Lord, do you want to use Xuzhou as a base?"

"That's right, Xuzhou is rich and has a large population, which can be used as a springboard to develop the south."

In the south, not only tea can be grown, but grain is also very good.

"Yes, my lord."

Zhang Ming and they are unloading goods here, and the seven major salt merchants can't sit still.

The seven major salt merchants finally gathered manpower.

In total, there were more than 3,000 people from the seven families.

By the time they had gathered all the manpower, Zhang Ming had already unloaded the goods and shipped them to various places for sale.

The seven major salt merchants, they have their eyes on one place.

This is a temporary transit point outside the city.

A large amount of salted fish is stored here, ready to be shipped to other places for sale.

More than 3,000 people gathered, then brought weapons, and then they were dressed in black and masked.

"Our target is the row of houses, as well as many tents, which Zhang Ming and his family bought to store salted fish."

Each of the seven major salt merchants sent a person to coordinate the matter.

"Now in the past, all the salted fish have been robbed." After the seven men had decided, the team set off.

It was originally an abandoned village, with many dilapidated houses, Zhang Ming sent people to repair it briefly, and also set up some tents on the vacant land to temporarily store salted fish.

In the dark night, the seven salt merchants touched it.

At this time, Zhang Ming and others were hiding outside the village.

"Lord, this group of people is too stupid, the seven families are united, and there are so many people who know, how can they hide it from us."

It took more than 3,000 people a few days to mobilize, and there were too many insiders in the middle, so Zhang Ming and they had already received the news.

"It's an opportunity to come to our door, and it's just the right thing to solve one of our problems."

This group of people didn't know that they had fallen into Zhang Ming's ambush.

More than 3,000 people touched this place where salted fish were stored.

"Kill."

"Kill, leave no one."

It is true to rob salted fish, and it is also true to kill people, the seven major salt merchants want to kill people, tell Zhang Ming, whose territory is here.

A crowd rushed over, ready to go on a killing spree.

"Throw smoke bombs."

A group of people rushed in and tried to kill, but they didn't see anyone after rushing in.

There are a lot of salted fish.

In the face of salted fish, there was not a single figure, and they were still thinking about what was going on.

Zhang Ming and the others rushed out and surrounded them.

After throwing a few smoke bombs to block their view, Zhang Ming ordered: "Release the arrows." ”

The crossbow began to roar, and the arrows turned into ghosts.

The frequency of arrows was very fast, and Zhang Ming also took a bow and crossbow and began to attack.

"Ding~ System Prompt: Congratulations to the host for killing an enemy, rewarding a box of Jiaduobao, 150 copper coins, and merit value +1."

"Ding~ System prompt: Congratulations to the host for killing an enemy, rewarding five pairs of stockings, 150 copper coins, and merit value +1."

Kill.

Although Zhang Ming and the others have few manpower, they are not at the same level as the enemy.

The bow and crossbow were fired, and the enemy was shrouded in smoke, and before he knew his situation, he knew that the constant screams were coming, which made people frightened.

The arrows were fired quickly, and the enemy kept falling.

These people, who do not have any military capabilities, are just a flock of sheep and are directly slaughtered.

After killing for a while, there were no more screams, and Zhang Ming ordered to stop the attack.

After waiting for a while, the smoke cleared and the torches were lit.

The scene was very tragic, and the enemy was killed and wounded.

Of more than three thousand people, only a few hundred are still alive, and the living people are squatting on the ground and shivering.

It was a one-sided slaughter.

Completely unequal battles.

A patchwork militia, ambushed by a well-armed regular army, does not even know how to respond to an emergency.

"You are all taken captive, do not move, put your heads in your hands."

When the army rushed in, they surrounded a herd of sheep, which had lost the courage to fight.

More than 2,000 people were shot dead on the spot, and hundreds more were taken prisoner.

In a county town more than 20 miles away, the heads of the seven major salt merchants were there, and they also arrived here to facilitate temporary decision-making.

After waiting for a night, none of them heard anything.

After dawn, some of his subordinates hurriedly came to report.

"Report to the head of the family, just now Zhang Ming sent someone to the government to report the case, they intercepted and killed a group of strongmen outside the city, suspected to be the people of the seven major salt merchants, and asked the government to send troops to arrest us."

Cao Xing heard the news as soon as he got up in the morning, his head was dizzy, and he almost collapsed.

This is a failure.

And they also suffered heavy losses.

There are more than 3,000 people, and their family is less than 500 people, they can still afford to lose this person, the key is that the plan did not succeed, and Zhang Ming grabbed the pigtails.

The other heads of the house also got the news.

So, they got together again.

"This time, I have scared the snake, and I have to start again in the future, I'm afraid it will be difficult."

A few people just felt like they had missed a good opportunity, and the rest didn't have anything.

However, Zhang Ming took action, arranged for some people to watch, and notified the local authorities.

After the news spread, Zhang Ming was waiting for the news.

However, the government was quick to respond.

"This is not a member of the Seven Great Salt Merchants, but a group of bandits that the government has been wanting."

The government's response was not long in coming.

"My lord, as you expected, the government will definitely not recognize it."

Zhang Ming sneered and said, "Of course they won't admit it, but it's better not to admit it." ”
