If Ah Qiang heard the word salt rice, he would probably be able to hold his stomach and laugh, haven't you ever eaten salt in your previous life?

"Everyone, be careful, the road ahead is not easy." After going back last time, Cuong heard about a team being robbed, and his boss also gave them knives and guns. Ask them to bring self-defense.

At the request of Ah Qiang, Ah Qiang and his group of eight people took six guns beyond the standard and grabbed a few waist knives for emergency. With weapons, the speed of action is slower, but no one is willing to lose their lives on this hill where there is no village in front of the village and no shop in the back, and there is not even a grave to die here.

Climbing up a high slope, the mule's nose spewed white gas, and it hummed and refused to go any further.

"This mule is tired, unload it, let it rest."

"Hmm." Cuong nodded at the mule, and everyone sat on the ground together, Cuong's muzzle pointed at the high place ahead, his eyes staring at the road in front of him, his body relaxed, but his spirit was not relaxed at all. Who knows if it's you who lost your life today?

After removing the bag of dry food from the mule and nibbling on a few mouthfuls of dry food similar to a pot helmet, Cuong stood up and prepared to continue his journey, but no matter how he pulled the mule, the mule was reluctant to leave. Cuong seemed to notice something, and the look on his face became strange.

"It's not good, let's go!"

With a "bang", a shot of lead grazed the top of Cuong's head. Immediately, there was a burst of gunfire.

"Which one doesn't have long eyes?" There was a scolding from the bushes, "Give me a rush!" ”

"Someone robbed the road!" Cuong reacted immediately, kicking the mule's buttocks, causing the mule to run forward, dropping several salt shakers along the way.

"Run!" The mules and goods belong to the public, and their lives are their own, not to mention that if they don't run now, the public's goods and mules can't be saved.

Seeing that there was salt on the ground, a few people who didn't have long eyes bent down to pick it up, and they were scolded again. "I didn't have enough salt in my previous life, so I rushed to be reincarnated?"

"Bang!" Cuong fired a shot into the distance, beckoning them to run backwards, but he unhurriedly reloaded the second shot. He had served as a soldier in the Ming army, but later fled because he was defeated.

The muskets of the Ming army were all expected to be mountainous, and Ah Qiang closed one eye and carefully aimed at the three points and one line.

"Bang"! Regardless of whether he hit someone or not, Cuong turned around and ran. The arquebus can't run away due to the reload and rate of fire, but the flintlock pistol can be fired while walking.

Seeing that the group was far away, Cuong hid on the side of the road, and stretched out the barrel of his gun to buckle the hanging knife.

The black-faced man waved his hand to signal the team to stop, wondering in his heart the identity of this group of people, "Which merchant will bring flintlock pistols?" Such a militaristic weapon...... Alas, I blame myself for not setting up a few more ambushes. ”

Cuong saw the figure in the distance fade away, and he didn't know that he was lucky enough to escape, and for the rest of the year, he didn't have to walk this way again.

Because this is not an ambush of bandits, these people do not seek money, only robbery.

In Longchuan City, in addition to the Tusi officials stationed here, there are also three Tusi leaders of Ganya, Nandian and Mangshi. These people who were originally proud of the official uniforms of the Ming Dynasty are wearing colorful clothes today.

"We, there's no turning back!" Longchuan Tusi raised his voice and said, "Everyone doesn't want the track to be paved, because if the track is completed, our children can run away as soon as they hang on the car, and the officials and soldiers can suddenly pull a few cars at any time if they want to withdraw our local officials, and before they can have time, we will be finished." ”

Everyone present just nodded, waiting for Longchuan Toast to continue. "This majesty originally listened to and believed us who were guarding here, and gave us an official title, and we brought someone to fight for him, how good is this? Now, let's drive away a few of them, the restructuring of the system, saying that they are buying with silver, that bit of silver is a lot, but the baby will not earn it back after working for more than ten years, and this silver is still not as reliable as the baby. ”

Longchuan Tusi's words are also the voices of the people present, if it weren't for this, they wouldn't plan to hit the stone with an egg, early death and late death are death, maybe they can still survive if they struggle a little?

Besides, my own mountain is high and densely forested, and it is very scary for the officers and soldiers to line up, but how many places can be lined up here? So, you don't really have to die, do you?

"However, our area can be between Burma and Yunnan, and when the time comes, the officers and troops on both sides will come to fight us, how can this be good?"

"Don't be afraid, since you have made up your mind, these are all tricks." Longchuan Tusi paused and took a sip of water, "The soldiers we sent outside should have done something to the officers and soldiers now, even if the worst result, the interior of Yunnan can't transfer many soldiers to fight with us, it seems that there are many soldiers, but most of them are native soldiers, if we can collude more with the heads of various families, even Dali and Kunming, and the King of Jin may not be able to keep it!" As for Myanmar and Yunnan, what kind of track does Myanmar have, it's a big trouble, we have to break the track, maybe we can use it in reverse, and come to a black tiger to dig out the heart! ”

"As for Yunnan, aren't there still so many mountains, where did he come around?"

Everyone said in their hearts, you are the southernmost of us, you must care more about Burma, the court touched it, and it was us who died first, and your idea of "dead friends do not die poor" is too obvious, right?

"As long as we can cut off the passage between Yunnan and Burma, the imperial court will have to re-recognize our status, or if it really can't be, let's send people to Sichuan to ask the Qing Dynasty to recruit us, and now, we may be able to destroy the imperial court."

"Yes, our old land nested in the mountains may also have a chance to go down to the flat land now."

In another room, the Baihu who had bribed Zhang Gongji had already paid the price of blood for his short-sightedness---- he had been separated and thrown into a sack under the cliff.

……

On September 1, the Zheng army under Wuhu City and the Qing army led by Yue Le were still staring at each other. Perhaps neither side has any hands to play at the moment, so neither of them dares to start a decisive battle immediately. The Zheng family had a naval army patrolling, and Yue Le could not surround Wuhu, so it was most likely difficult to attack at this time. Sending troops to guard the Yangtze River to prevent the Zheng army from landing and backstabbing turned out to make themselves a more vulnerable side. Recently, the fireboat that Yue Le supervised in the rear was once again burned by the rampaging Zheng Jun, and the angry Yue Le jumped like thunder, killing several women captured on the way.

The fireship is equivalent to the sail battleship as the torpedo is to the ironclad battleship, it is a sharp weapon for a weak navy to face a strong navy, and it is also almost the only way for the Qing army sailors to deal with the Zheng army. What if those people lose again? Even if he vaguely heard that Zheng Jun was equipped with a new firecracker, in Yue Le's eyes, this kind of thing was at most similar to the turtledove's foot, so the last time Aobai lost, it could only be explained that Aobai, the first Baturu in Manchuria, was a brave and resourceless retarded person. Now, this mentally handicapped person has a force similar to Zheng Zheng's attack and Zheng Zheng's death? Are you kidding?
