"My lord! You'd better take care of it! Those people are making more and more trouble, a woman jumped into the sea yesterday, and if it continues like this, it will have to be a mess! Ergouzi stood beside Qin Shi and said.

Qin Shi shook his head with a wry smile and said, "What's the matter?" The merchants are bringing less and less food, and now it is only enough for our 5,000 people. Even if you don't give those craftsmen food and drink, you soldiers can continue to train without eating! ”

Qin Shi sighed helplessly and said, "Who let us have no food in our hands!" What we have to do now is to guard Changxinggou for the eldest brother and guard the barracks. As long as the barracks are not chaotic, as soon as the eldest brother comes back, those businessmen are all local chickens and dogs, which is not worth mentioning. ”

Ergouzi opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he didn't say it. He turned around and left, and the more he walked on the land of Immortal Island, the heavier his mood became.

When the adults were leaving, they were instructed to hand over the Immortal Island to him and Qin Shi, and let them be sure to guard the Immortal Island and wait for the adults to come back.

But in just one month, Changsheng Island has completely changed. Hunger is everywhere, and robbery and rape occur from time to time. Today's Changsheng Island is bigger and bigger like a large refugee camp, and all kinds of disputes are constant.

Since Zhang Dou left, there have been more and more Liao people on the island, and it has reached 30,000 in just a few days.

Originally, the area of Changsheng Island was not small, and it could accommodate so many people. But what happened next made Qin Shi have a headache, and there was not enough food.

At first, some merchants said that the grain ship sank in the sea, but in the next few days, there were merchants who said that the grain ship could not come. They can always find all kinds of reasons to shirk, anyway, they don't transport food to the Changxing army.

If it weren't for Zheng Yiguan's fleet still maintaining normal grain delivery, the 3,000 soldiers under Qin Shi, as well as 2,000 family members and craftsmen, would have gone hungry.

That's not all, the merchants still seem to have been negotiated. Every day, boats went to the island to pull Liao people, and the number of them increased more and more, and finally reached 50,000 people.

Qin Shi, who had no food, could only ask Sun Youcai to borrow grain, and he did not shirk the rich man Sun Da for borrowing grain. He only put forward one condition, that is, the grain could not be directly handed over to the Changxing army, and the grain had to be distributed by his people.

Qin Shi felt that this request was not a matter at all, so he agreed on the spot. But in the next few days, he found out that something was wrong, and the family Ding sent out by Sun Youcai to distribute rice porridge was particularly vicious.

The rice porridge they gave to ordinary people was some porridge that was clear to the bottom, and they also made it difficult for some people. For example, a mother and daughter fled to the island, and when they received the porridge, the family asked for the daughter of the family in exchange for rice porridge.

God, the little girl was only 8-9 years old. How could a mother bear to push her daughter into the fire pit, but if she didn't agree, she would starve to death on the island.

In the end, the mother went to pay for 6 family members in exchange for two bowls of rice porridge in one night, and these two bowls of rice porridge almost cost half of the woman's life.

As a result, the next day, they stopped giving their mother and daughter porridge, although the mother continued to accompany the family members despite her injuries. But he was kicked to the ground by those few family members, and his mouth continued to foul language.

"Who is rare about you, a female dog, if you want to drink porridge, send your daughter here, otherwise on this Eternal Island, you don't want to get a grain of food."

After speaking, the family member glared at the people around him with triangular eyes and said, "Lao Tzu told you! On this Eternal Life Island, our master has the final say. If you don't know each other, you'll starve to death you mud legs! If anyone dares to give them a grain of food, don't expect to get a bowl of porridge from me!" ”

Under his coercion, the people who looked at the mother and daughter pitifully did not dare to give them food. One night, she jumped off a cliff by the sea with her daughter in her arms.

Fortunately, they jumped into the sea and were discovered by the Changxing army patrolling the island, and after they were rescued, their mother died on the spot.

She took the soldier by the hand and said, "Please, throw us back to the sea!" Let's die early and take care of our lives! ”

After saying that, the mother died in despair, and the soldiers took the girl back to the barracks. After Ergouzi learned of this, he immediately wanted to lead troops to destroy Sun Youcai, but was stopped by Qin Shi.

Qin Shi, who had lost a loved one in one day, was much more mature than before, and he knew that the form on the island was very delicate now.

The merchants, led by Sun Youcai, had formed an alliance, and it seemed that they wanted to use grain to threaten the Changxing army to achieve something.

Some of the gentry who fled to the island and the military households of the Ming army formed an alliance of interests, and united to confront the merchants on the island.

They were outnumbered, and there were many soldiers from the former Ming army. These people are united, and even Sun Youcai does not dare to persecute them. When distributing food, they all gave those people enough rations, and these people, after they were not short of food, began to oppress ordinary people, making the already difficult survival of the people even worse.

Although the strength of the Changxing army was strong, under the leadership of Qin Shi, they shrank to the Beishan area and let other forces toss around. As long as they don't make trouble near Beishan, they won't care.

The connivance of the Changxing Army made Sun Youcai and the gentry more arrogant, as if they were the masters of Changsheng Island.

Moreover, Sun Youcai also proposed to let the Changsheng Army reduce the commercial tax to thirty taxes and one, and said that the ancestral system could not be changed at this time.

Those military households were even more demanding, and they even asked the Changxing Army to provide them with weapons and armor. In the name of protecting Changsheng Island from the encroachment of Jiannu, he planned to forcibly rob it after being refused, but he was beaten up by Changxing Army and honest.

Although they withdrew from Beishan, which was controlled by the Changxing Army, they still targeted Sun Youcai with a thief's heart. After several temptations, after discovering that Sun Youcai's merchant alliance was not easy to mess with, he began to gather Qingzhuang again, intending to use crowd tactics to forcibly gain control of Changsheng Island.

A big storm was about to sweep through Changsheng Island, and Qin Shi didn't dare to let the Changxing army move. All he could do was to step up the training of recruits, and wait for Zhang Dou to return and clean up these ghosts in one fell swoop.

On Changsheng Island, in Sun Youcai's house, there are several people sitting around a large house.

"Old man Sun! Your solution won't work! It's been a month, and if their leader Zhang comes back with food, we'll steal the chickens and rice! Liu Zhenhai, who is more like a pirate than a businessman, said.

"Brother Liu, don't be impatient! In just three days, we'll be ready to go. At that time, I said that the food had run out, and asked the hungry people to go to Beishan to find the Changxing army to ask for food.

At that time, we will take the opportunity to fan the flames, and we will definitely let the hungry people storm Changxinggou. At that time, regardless of whether the Changxing army killed the hungry people or not, their reputation on Changsheng Island would be stinky. If we add more fire, we will definitely be able to drive them out of Eternal Life Island! Ha ha!! Sun Youcai laughed as he spoke.

The rich Zhao Sihai also said: "Brother Sun is really resourceful, Zhao admires it!" Admire!! ”

Liu Zhenhai rolled his eyes and said, "In case that group of Qiu Ba reacts, we won't be able to beat them directly!" ”

"Brother Liu is too worried! All the goods on Eternal Life Island need to be transported by you and me, and even the leader of Zhang will not dare to make a move on us here, unless he doesn't want Eternal Life Island. Take another 10,000 steps back, if he really dares to break the net with us, there is still a strong reinforcement from the old man who has not made a move! As long as he makes a move, he will definitely be able to kill all those Qiu Ba! Sun Youcai said, a fine light shot out of his eyes.

The few people who were doing it were dumbfounded when they heard Sun Youcai's words, they never thought that Sun Youcai, who was usually inconspicuous and not leaky, still had a strong reinforcement that could destroy the Changxing Army.

Now they all regret it a little, it won't be that they are busy in the end to make wedding dresses for Rich Sun! But now they can't afford to retreat, so they can only rush forward.

Sun Youcai looked at the people with uncertain faces and said, "Relax your mind, we are a group of people." Once the old decay controls the Immortal Island, it will definitely be indispensable to everyone's benefits, and we will still be unanimous to the outside world. Strive to take Changsheng Island as soon as possible, and then we will have the final say! ”

In Changxinggou, Beishan, the second dog held a list in his hand and said, "General Qin!" Those people who make things difficult for the people and for the evil Immortal Island are here, as long as you give an order, the two dogs promise to arrest everyone back! ”

Qin Shi looked at the list and said, "Let's wait for the eldest brother to come back!" Keep the list, as long as the eldest brother comes back, he will definitely pay for the blood debt of this group of eyeless things! ”

Qin Shi said, slapping the list on the table.
