The next day.

In the mountains and forests of the southwest of Fengxin.

"When the sun shines in the sky, the flowers smile at me......"

Pulling his trolley, which looked like a trolley suitcase, Yang Xin walked along a path that was completely trodden on, accompanied by the chirping of birds around him, humming leisurely as he walked.

Murderous mounds lurked all around him.

In the grass, in the green of the pine trees, behind a certain rock, greedy eyes focused on his car, the heavy wooden box made the two iron-clad wheels, from time to time sink into the soft earth, and there was a net bag hanging outside, and in the pocket was white flowers and silver, and it was clear to tell others what was in the box. This mountain forest is full of shantytowns, shanty-dwellers have no household registration, the law will not protect them, and they do not need to obey the law, this is the real law of the jungle world.

Not to mention the little sheep like foreign merchants, even the locals dare not go deep into the mountains and forests.

Without the protection of the local clans and the permission of the shack chiefs, anyone who enters this world is likely to be as bred as a penguin in the Serengeti savannah. But no one did anything at the moment, although the fat sheep in front of him didn't even have a bodyguard, but these experienced guys had already guessed the approximate weight of the box from the traces of the wheels.

A guy who dragged hundreds of pounds and walked on the mountains as if he were flat......

It's not easy to mess with.

But the silver of the white flowers.

Especially if that chest is full of silver......

Beneath each pair of eyes is a tangled face.

Yang Xin dragged his car unconsciously, like a domestic female tourist strolling through the streets of Detroit at midnight illuminated by a foreign moon.

He continued to hum his noisy song.

"Madamn, I can't take it anymore!"

Behind a rock next to him, a roar suddenly sounded.

Immediately afterwards, a strong man jumped out and blocked the mountain road at once, and the nest bow made of multiple layers of bamboo in his hand was directly aimed at Yang Xin.

Yang Xin immediately stopped, and then looked at him with a pure face......

"What are you going to do?"

The guy asked.

"Put down your stuff and spare your life!"

The man shouted with his bow.

His accent is messy, a bit local, but more like Jian'ou dialect.

"You're robbing, aren't you?"

Yang Xin said in surprise.

"That's right, Lao Tzu will rob you, leave something to spare your life, Ma, where is this fool, dare to enter the mountain alone!"

The latter said.

"So you're a robber!"

Yang Xin said as if he suddenly realized.

The next moment, he suddenly accelerated, and the bow and crossbow arrow in the man's hand immediately shot out, and when the chest hit him and was bounced off by the bulletproof insert, before the unlucky thief could wake up, Yang Xin had already arrived and slapped him directly on the back of the head. The bandit threw himself on the mountain road with his pumping movements, and then Yang Xin raised his foot and stepped on his back, although he didn't use much force, he still trampled him screaming......

"Told you to be a robber, told you not to study well, and blocked the road to rob, didn't your father and mother teach you to obey the law and be a good person?"

Yang Xin scolded while stepping on it.

Suddenly, the sound of crossbow arrows breaking through the air sounded one after another.

Five bolts kept crashing into him, and then they were blocked by the wrought iron inside.

"He's wearing iron armor!"

An exclamation rang out beside him.

Immediately afterwards, two strong men jumped up from the grass where they were hiding and rushed straight over, and at the same time, more than a dozen strong men rushed out of their respective hiding places, one by one with knives, spears and axes. Yang Xin ignored it and continued to step on the thief under his feet, and in a blink of an eye, the first strong man arrived, and the short spear stabbed him in the back, Yang Xin didn't even look at it, grabbed it with his backhand, and then dragged the short spear forward. The strong man was dragged and ran forward, and suddenly came to his side, and the next moment Yang Xin hooked the shaft of his spear and kicked him in the knee at the same time, and then the strong man also threw himself on the back of the bandit on the ground......

"Another one who doesn't learn well, why don't you do it well, you have to be a robber."

Yang Xin scolded angrily while stepping on it.

At this time, two more rushed in, and the two knives slashed down at the same time.

Yang Xin pulled the spear shaft in his hand, the knife of the thief on the right fell to the ground, holding his wrist and screaming there, and then he raised his hand to grab the arm holding the knife on the left, and fell downward, and the thief on the left also lay on the back of the two on the ground, because the height was inconvenient to step on Yang Xin, a spear shaft was pumped on his back.

"So you don't learn well!"

With his rage, the bandit screamed.

Then the other two people who were crushed below instinctively followed and screamed.

"Stop!"

One of the leaders immediately stopped the others.

"This brother, we are rude!"

He arched his hand.

Yang Xin stopped and looked at him.

"Aren't you a robber?"

The guy asked again with a pure face.

"This brother is joking, we are all law-abiding good citizens, planting some big cuffine in the mountains and forests and selling it to traders to dye cloth, and there are many conflicts with the local government, mistaking the brother for the enemy, and being abrupt, I will pay the brother a gift first."

The leader said.

"Since we're not robbers, then we can talk well."

Yang Xin said.

With that, he threw the short spear forward.

With a whistle that broke through the air, the short spear pierced into a big tree in front of it like a giant arrow from a bed crossbow.

The leader looked at the depth of the spearhead, and then took a deep breath.

"Brother is here to do business?"

He asked cautiously.

"Yes, buy someone!"

Yang Xin said.

With that, he picked up the net.

"We are all good citizens, and we don't do population business."

The leader said.

"Well, to be precise, I'm actually hiring people, two taels of silver a month, taking care of food and housing, and giving five taels of settling-in expenses as an advance first, and an additional two taels for travel expenses, but only men between the ages of eighteen and twenty-five."

Yang Xin said while holding the net.

"What to do?"

A young man said with a twinkle in his eyes.

"You will kill whoever I ask you to kill, and you will arrest whoever I ask you to catch, in short, you will have to do whatever I ask you to do, but you can rest assured, the silver will not be less than you, settled on a monthly basis, you will eat and eat, fish and meat are indispensable, and those who die for me will be paid one hundred taels. If you are willing to do it, you can come and get the silver, first take five taels of settling-in expenses and two taels of travel expenses, and then you take my letter and go out by boat to Anqing, where there are people waiting, if you take my money and don't go, then next time I will not come to hire people but kill people. ”

Yang Xin said.

As he spoke, he looked to the side.

Then he squatted down, hugged a rock weighing no less than 300 catties under his feet, and suddenly raised it above his head and threw it out in an exclamation, the rock instantly smashed a tree, and then continued to roll down the mountain with a dull crashing sound......

"Kill all of you, what I do best is kill!"

He said.

"How do we trust you?"

The leader took a deep breath and said.

"Am I idle? Idle to play in the barren mountains and mountains like you? ”

Yang Xin said.

"Go back to the village and ask, if anyone is willing to go with him, if there are many people, go to Anqing."

The leader said.

Two taels a month, the recruits on the nine sides don't have this price, not to mention that this is Jiangxi, where the grain is the cheapest, it can be said that these two taels of silver can not only feed a family, but also have a surplus, they are actually the mountain people of northern Fujian who can't survive in their hometown, and they are actually fugitives. There is not much food grown in the mountainous areas here, so I rely on hunting and collecting medicine and planting some dyes at the same time, that is, knotweed, which can be said to be struggling to make ends meet.

They are no safer than they are living in the mountains.

It is not uncommon to fall to death, to be bitten to death by poisonous insects, to be bitten to death by wild beasts, and even to die of freezing and starvation, and it is not uncommon for different villages to compete with each other for interests and killing, and it is not uncommon to have conflicts with the local gentry, and large-scale armed fights are also common, and it can be said that their lives are more dangerous than being soldiers and fighting. In this case, there is really such a good errand, so why not try it, try it and maybe change your fate, anyway, it is just to go to Anqing, and it will not take a few days to float over the boat when you go down the mountain and get on the boat.

No, it's a big deal to come back.

It was not difficult for them to come back after this little journey.

"I need a lot of people, if you can introduce me to more people like you, I'll recruit someone to give you a penny."

Yang Xin said.

"Please go to the stockade!"

The leader's eyes lit up and he said hurriedly.

Yang Xin pulled the cart and followed them to the village in the mountain pass.

In fact, a fence was used to enclose a circle, and wooden huts were built inside, and there were not too many mountains and a few sparse wheat fields around it. The accommodation of the population in the mountainous areas must be given to the corn and sweet potatoes to really exert their power, and at this time, when the mountains cannot support many people, and these shanty people cannot support themselves, they immediately become bandits, and it is common to gather to attack the state capital. The war between the shanty people and the natives in the mountainous area at the junction of Hunan and Jiangxi continued until the end of the Qing Dynasty, which was also mixed with slavery rebellion, that is, the rebellion of the gentry's domestic slaves.

The reason why Yang Xin came here to recruit people was to evacuate the young people in this mountainous area in advance.

Then gradually lure them out of the mountains and forests, use sweet potatoes and corn and industry to settle them, prevent them from continuing to harm the place here, and turn them into weapons against the gentry, the shanty people here have not been counted in number, but they organized an army of locusts of tens of thousands of people, and the examples of sweeping on the surrounding plains often appeared in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. Especially during the time of Ma Ge, there were even several real large-scale rebellions, and Zhu Yiwu and others here even accepted his title and really conquered the city to establish their own territory.

In the chaos at the end of the Ming Dynasty, they were no less.

The rebellion of the shanty miners lasted from the fourth year of Chongzhen to the eleventh year of Chongzhen.

Just like Yang Xin forced Xu Hongru to rebel at the beginning, this kind of poisonous sores already exists, since this is the case, it must be treated as soon as possible, it should be picked, and it should be medicated, Xu Hongru belongs to the picking, this belongs to the medicine, in short, it must be solved before it breaks out and causes great harm. ntent
