Chapter 144: No Haste, Be Forbearant

A total of more than 400 people came to the mountain, and in addition to more than 70 iron dings and hunters, there were more than 200 adult men, but although these people were in good health and age, they had not received any formal training, so they did not have much effect at the critical time.

The original Yantai Mountain Thousand Households, only Xiaowubao was lively, and no one was deserted in the dilapidated barracks across the school field, and now Jiang Feng moved over with the 'clansmen'. Both sides began to get angry, and after a few old men in Tieding's family came back from walking around the back, they said to Jiang Feng:

"Although the fields in the Senhe House have been abandoned for a long time, they can still be restored if they are picked up and cultivated."

It was already close to the time of spring ploughing, and when Jiang Feng heard this, he immediately allocated silver taels and asked someone to go down the mountain to buy cattle and seeds.

In the dock fort opposite, I saw the new town guard Qianhu, and at the beginning, he also honestly stayed in the stone fence to observe the wind, and did not go out, but saw that Jiang Feng did not have the appearance of a thousand household officials.

According to the usual practice, officers often have to stand up for their authority or buy people's hearts when they are in review, such as sending down the arrears of money in the past, but this thousand-household official did not take any action. He just arranged for his subordinates to cultivate the land in the spring, and bought ploughing cattle and farm tools and seeds.

There are some people who want to be landlords on the mountain, and people who know a little about farm work know that farming in the middle of the mountainside, although the water source is still abundant, and the sea breeze cannot blow such a shady place, but the soil strength is too poor after all. Even if you cultivate with all your heart, I'm afraid you can only make a living.

The people in the dock fort were quiet for two days, and their judgment on Jiang Feng was that this person was estimated to be an honest farmer and a landlord, and there was nothing to interfere with.

After turning around the Qianhu House, Jiang Feng understood the terrain almost clearly, the beacon tower was on the mountain in the direction of the dock fort, and below was this stone fort. This clearing is actually a valley surrounded by mountains, but although it is a valley, it is already halfway up the mountain compared to flat land. The stone fort should be the fortress where the soldiers are stationed, and the barracks where they are now and the abandoned fields behind them should be the places where the original military families dragged their families to live.

However, Jiang Feng also has some strange places, when his more than 400 people go up the mountain, the transportation of food supplies is also quite troublesome, and in addition to the more than 100 knights he just saw, no matter how much he eats the empty quota, there must be a few hundred people left.

Don't horses eat forage, people also need to eat food, they must not be able to eat the money they robbed, remembering that when he and Chen Qianhu came to see the barracks together, the knights were all on another mountain road, and Jiang Feng knew that there might be a mystery on that mountain road.

However, the location of the dock fort is quite troublesome, and basically no matter what the action is in this area of the barracks opposite, it is clearly seen by a few guards on the gatehouse of the dock fort. And since Jiang Feng and the others went up the mountain here, the guards above the gatehouse have been watching here in shifts day and night.

The barracks where the people brought by Jiang Feng lived, the houses facing the dock fort were not allowed to live against the school field, and Tie Ding was also there staring at the opposite scene.

Sure enough, on the third day after Jiang Feng and the others settled down, the gate of the dock fort was opened, and more than a hundred knights drove more than four hundred people down another mountain road, and Jiang Feng almost gasped when he was called over by Tie Ding to watch. Because the sight in front of you is truly incredible.

Although the clothes of the more than 400 people who were driven away were tattered, they could still be vaguely seen to be soldiers' uniforms, but they were all shaped and stood up, and they looked similar to those slaves. While driving away the 'slave soldiers', the eyes of more than a hundred knights were actually looking at the barracks opposite.

Even if these people walked far away, the gate of the dock fort was always open, Jiang Feng knew in his heart that this time the people on the opposite side went down the mountain, presumably to transport supplies, but it must also contain the meaning of testing themselves, the gate of the dock fort on the opposite side was still open when the team was about to go down the mountain, obviously there were two judgments, if there was any action here, the other party was either ready to withdraw quickly, or there would be reinforcements inside the gate.

Zhang Liang, who was lying on the wall and looking outside, anxiously followed Jiang Feng and said:

"Master, now that the door is wide open, let's just go over and grab it."

As soon as these words came out, several iron men on the side were full of approval, but Jiang Feng shook his head, and one of the iron men on the side couldn't help it, and said on the side:

"Although there are a lot of people outside, they can't stand the killing of their brothers at all, what are you afraid of him."

Looking at the door that was still open outside, Jiang Feng turned his head and questioned the Tie Ding who spoke:

"Count all the people in the city, you go to fight these people, dare you say that you don't have anything, they are not those straw bale guards, everyone has seen it."

The ironclad argued rather unconvinced:

"Master, the little ones are not afraid of death, our lives are yours, and it is a matter of course to die."

"I don't think it's worth it for you to lose your lives for these people."

The open door lasted for a long time, seeing that Jiang Feng did not react here, and the knights who originally seemed to have gone far galloped back more than fifty times, and it seemed that they had already prepared to set such a trap. The next morning, the fifty or so knights who had gone out, and the more than four hundred soldiers who looked like slaves, returned with more than twenty carts, which were supposed to be supplies and the like.

After this temptation, the people on the other side began to have a judgment on the new town guard generation Qianhu, originally since Jiang Feng went up the mountain, the door inside the dock fort was closed every day, although even outside the sound of drinking and having fun was often heard, but it was still difficult to restrain from going out to harass.

But now it was different, some soldiers began to wander around the barracks area, Jiang Feng's iron soldiers only ten of them were dressed as guards and followed him, and the rest were all dressed as farmers at home. Those soldiers who came out of the dock fort did not harass Jiang Feng.

But the family members who came with them were very annoying, or they were mocking or playing some pranks, which were not excessive.

Occasionally, the hot-tempered Tie Ding wanted to have a seizure, but he was stopped by his family members who had been told for a long time.

Things are like this in the world, if you are soft, the other party will bully you. Sure enough, after the harassment of the first two days, the degree immediately intensified.

At this time, farmers do not raise chickens for meat, nor for eggs, but hope to take eggs to the market for some silver money to spend.

As long as people who are not from wealthy families understand this truth, the iron dings now have a very good income, earning a few hundred taels of silver every year, and if they work shifts at sea, they will have an even higher income. However, they have been poor for many years, and some old habits are still maintained.

So when the chickens of several ironsmith households that raised chickens were stolen, several ironmen suddenly couldn't hold back and prepared to go over to find them, but they were stopped by Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng's reaction undoubtedly gave the other party a signal, fortunately, he had already left all the young female dependents in the family in Fucheng, otherwise there would be even greater disasters. Jiang Feng strictly ordered Zhang Liang and the ten iron men under him to strictly restrain the people below, and they were not allowed to go out to make trouble, and they must be patient.

A few days later, the gate was closed every day in the dock fort, that is, in the middle of the night, and when the knights of the large group in the dock fort swarmed out, they did not shy away from it, and they were all shouting there.

Jiang Feng was already able to judge that after these people went out, they would go down the mountain to be robbers, and the ground in Shandong was not very peaceful, and the horses were in turmoil more than ten years ago, and the White Lotus Sect bandits, large and small, and the green forest sounded horses. There were a lot of merchants who were robbed, and there were countless headless public cases.

Within ten days, the horse team in the dock fort went in and out three times, according to the observation of Tie Ding and Jiang Feng himself, more than a hundred cavalry went out, and there were no new faces to join the three times, led by the big man called "Dong Ye", which means that there are more than 100 cavalry in the dock fort.

And the mountain road in the opposite direction in the dock fort will be sent over every ten days or so, it turns out that the cavalry in the dock fort are quite vigilant when they go out and look at the barracks on Jiang Feng's side, but now they don't pay attention to it at all, and occasionally Xingfa rides a horse and shouts through the barracks.

Now the anger of the iron dings is getting bigger and bigger, but Jiang Feng still strictly ordered not to conflict with the people in the dock fort, and it is soon time for spring ploughing, and the iron dings are all helping at home.

The conflict erupted after the cattle were stolen from a Tieding's house, and the cattle were tied to the yard, and when they found out that they were missing during the day, they immediately smelled the smell of beef coming from the opposite side. Everyone knows what it means to farmers.

More than a dozen iron Ding were angry and wanted to find the thief in the dock fort, of course the other party couldn't let him go over like this, the two sides confronted each other at the door of the dock fort, Jiang Feng got the news and immediately screamed badly. Hurriedly asked Zhang Liang to take ten iron dings, and persuaded the rest of the iron dings not to go out at home.

He rushed over with a few hunters, and at the gate of the dock fort, the other party's manpower had gathered more than 100 people, and both sides were shouting and scolding loudly there, but before they could do it, Jiang Feng raised his eyes and saw that the leader of the other party, surnamed Dong, was looking down from the gatehouse of the dock fort.

As soon as Jiang Feng lowered his head, he hurriedly walked over a few steps, shouting in his mouth:

"Come back, come back, don't cause trouble!!"
