On the north bank of the Yellow River, somewhere in a secluded place, a group of people were moving large wooden barrels from a large ship. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Alas, it was really dangerous just now, and I am afraid that there are not many people who dare to cross the river with such a big boat this month." An old man rubbed his shoulders and looked at the busy people and laughed.

"Fortunately, there is Old Man Zhu at the helm, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable." Chang Chenggong was also relieved.

Now the Yellow River seems to be calm, but the depth is extremely difficult to grasp, especially in this month, the water level is not high, if a flat boat is enough, to make a big ship is difficult, a bad change will lead to the destruction of the boat.

The most important thing is that this ship can not take the familiar route, let alone close to the ferry or populated places, which can make it more difficult to sail, just before, this big ship was about to dock, suddenly hit the slope of the river, resulting in a huge earthquake in the hull, faintly overturned the situation, if it were not for the old man surnamed Zhu and timely ordered someone to deal with it properly, relying on the sail to correct the hull and then slowly turn the bow, the consequences are really unimaginable.

"This is fifty taels of gold, Old Man Zhu, please smile." Chang Chenggong took out a big money bag and handed it to the old man.

After the old man took the weighing, he suddenly frowned and said to Chang Chenggong: "Xiao Chang, this is only halfway through the boat, why, you won't go?" ”

"I'm afraid I'll have to wait a few days to go back, and I can't let you wait here all the time during this time." Chang Chenggong said with a smile.

"Well, it's okay, but the price is already high, and now I haven't finished a round trip, and the old man can't take you much, so let's divide half of it and you take it." This old man Zhu is a cheerful person, and he did what he said, and immediately returned half of the gold to Chang Chenggong.

Chang Chenggong smiled bitterly and refused: "For the rest of these, let's give the old man hush money, I also said in advance that our movements can't be known to outsiders." After speaking, Chang Chenggong also deliberately looked at the boatman led by Old Man Zhu.

"Don't worry, there are rules, whoever dares to break the rules, I will tell him to go into this river to feed the king." After Old Man Zhu finished speaking, he didn't take the rest of the gold, got up and took his own people on the boat.

Zhang Dagui walked to Chang Chenggong's side, looked at Old Man Zhu's back and frowned, "Is this old man trustworthy?" ”

"Since Old Man Zhu agreed, he will not break his promise, and the most taboo thing about doing their business is to lose their reputation." Chang Chenggong said with a package ticket.

His words are not false, the old man surnamed Zhu is specialized in the smuggling of the Yellow River, of course, not to help those wanted thieves, but to help businessmen!

Daning's tax is not low, especially in the Zhongzhou area, there is a parking fee for stopping ships, and there is a city entry fee for entering the city, and if it is a caravan of unknown origin, such as merchants from the Western Regions, they also have to requisition local boatmen and coachmen, saying that it is for the benefit of the local people, but in fact, the Kyoto scholars are too afraid of death, worried that a large number of outsiders will pour into Kyoto, and they will not leave!

If the cancellation of the fang market can make the economy grow substantially, but the entire capital is still in the high wall.

The system of the fang market is safe, the crime rate is low, the use of local people, and the prohibition of foreign races are the same, all for the wealthy scholars to have a stable and enjoyable life, and to live a drunken life at home.

But such a high cost is not something that every businessman can afford, so there are people like the old man surnamed Zhu, who provides low-cost transportation to merchants, but earns more money than the imperial court specified.

It's a contradiction to say, but when you know that you can draw this piece, it will make sense.

Working under the control of the imperial court, you don't have to give the imperial court a share of how much you earn, and how much this share is, it's not up to the people to say.

Listening to Chang Chenggong's explanation, Zhang Dagui was also relieved.

"Alas, it's all about making a living, it's not easy." Shaking his head, Zhang Dagui turned around and greeted Zhong Xiaoshi, and a group of seventy or eighty people began to transport the goods to the mountains in batches.

After the group turned around and cautiously went deep into a mountain forest, Zhang Dagui couldn't tell the difference between east and west, north and south, and couldn't help but stop and said to Chang Chenggong: "Which direction is Wangwu Mountain?" ”

Chang Chenggong looked at the sun, and pointed to the northwest and said, "Over there." ”

"It's not far from the garden, Hall Bell." Zhang Dagui turned around and greeted Zhong Xiaoshi, and when he approached, Zhang Dagui said again: "Ask the two brothers to follow Lao Chang to the front to explore the way, and I will rest on the spot." ”

"Hmm." Zhong Xiaoshi responded and immediately beckoned the two brothers to follow Chang Chenggong to the northwest.

Although Zhong Xiaoshi already knew the exact location of the garden, he didn't know much about the surrounding environment, and the route they took this time was very wild, so it was better to find out the route in order to be sure.

Chang Chenggong and the three of them went for a full hour before returning to the resting place.

"The location is right, there is a camp in the past ten miles, except for some Taoist priests, most of them are officers and soldiers, and there are strange flowers all over the mountain around the camp, it seems that it is the garden you are talking about." Chang Chenggong was also the first time to this place, and when he saw that garden, he was really shocked, and at the same time, he was worried that just these people could destroy this strange flower?

"What about the high ground around the garden? In what direction? Zhang Dagui asked.

"The east side of the garden is very high, and you can overlook the whole garden, but the distance is a little far, at least 100 feet."

"A hundred and ten zhang...... How high is the mountain? Zhang Dagui just finished asking, and without waiting for Chang Chenggong to answer, Zhong Xiaoshi preemptively said: "The mountain is not high, about seventy or eighty zhang." ”

"Seventy or eighty feet, it should be enough, okay." After Zhang Dagui finished talking to himself, he beckoned everyone to continue on the road.

Everyone carried heavy objects and walked for three hours on the mountain road, before they came to the highland in Chang Chenggong's mouth, at this time it was evening, Zhang Dagui could clearly see the situation under the mountain, and sure enough, as Chang Chenggong said, this place can overlook the whole garden, but he was also shocked, what kind of garden is this, it is clearly a sea of flowers!

Dense strange flowers are all over the mountain, from east to west, from south to north, covering an area of at least seventy or eighty acres.

"If it's autumn, it's no problem, but now it's spring, the mountains are wet, and the speed of the fire is too slow, so the other party has a lot of time to dig up the soil and stop the fire from spreading." Chang Chenggong frowned.

Zhang Dagui and Zhong Xiaoshi did not discuss this issue, but planned how to act, which made Chang Chenggong very puzzled.

"This warbler is at least two feet high, it is better to divide our troops after nightfall, quietly lie in the warbler millet, and slowly spread out the hay with oil, and then go down with fire, unless it rains heavily, hum!" After Zhang Dagui finished speaking, he also looked up at the sky that had stepped into the night, and looked at the sparse few cloud petals, and it was expected that it would not rain in a short time.

Zhong Xiaoshi shook his head and said: "It's not appropriate to sneak in directly, it's easy to be detected by the other party, in my opinion, when we concentrate on burning the camp directly at night, while they are panicking to put out the fire, we will quickly burn the east warbler millet, then the two fires will break out, they are difficult to take care of, even if they continue to put out the fire, there will be enough time for me to wait for the other three sides to burn together!" ”

Setting fires is undoubtedly easier than fighting fires, Zhong Xiaoshi's strategy is to fight guerrilla warfare with the officers and soldiers stationed there, you save the fire in the east, I will go to the west to put it, and before that, I will burn your nest first, and even the wooden barrels for drawing water may not leave a few for you!

This move is very vicious, but it is the most realistic strategy, Zhang Dagui will naturally not object, as for how innocent those Taoist priests and officers and soldiers who may be burned to death, if Tu Ping is here, he will definitely be unbearable, and Zhang Dagui will only sneer.

Human nature is like this, all kinds, and the paths chosen are also different, Tu Ping just wants to live a peaceful and stable life, Zhang Dagui is ambitious, and can't bear loneliness, but there is one thing he has to put in the first place, that is, to find ways to give the people behind him a stable life, which is also the importance of his Tianmu Hall, to be the first to know everything that is unfavorable to them, so as to use the safest way to strangle and cradle.

Although he can't do it now, he hopes that one day, his eyeliner can be all over the world, even what pants the emperor is wearing today, how many belly pockets the queen mother has, until he has a clear picture, how much sense of accomplishment will it be?

Just do it, everyone immediately began to prepare, and when everything was ready, just after the second watch, most of the people began to fall asleep at this hour, although the camp under the mountain was no exception, of course, sentry and patrols were indispensable, but they were all lights in the night, too dazzling.

As for the secret sentry, this is a chore, if you want to say that when the army is marching and fighting, you can set up camp and settle some of it, this mountain and wild place, just guard some plants, why do you have such a strict guard? Even if the top asks for it, the people below are also flickering because they can't bear it, who is stupid enough to squat in the pit to monitor in this cold and humid spring season.

The most important thing is how many years there has been no accident here, and the garrison force cannot be too strict, even if there is really a secret whistle, Zhong Xiaoshi and others, who have been tempered by Dong Ce, are enough to deal with it.

"Let me explore the path first." Unexpectedly, Chang Chenggong stood up at this time.

In fact, he didn't seem to be too deep at first, and following Dong Ce was only a last resort, but after a long time, he gradually gained an understanding of Yanjiao, and he was even more in awe of Dong Ce, and the most important thing was the future!

Looking at Zhang Dagui, Zhong Xiaoshi and others, farmers, fishermen, and handymen, they all turned into some hall masters, and dozens of people under their hands were looking at the head, as for the money, heh, Chang Chenggong didn't see them shouting poor, and finding a gang to smuggle Old Man Zhu casually smashed dozens of taels of gold, will this fucking be poor?

After all, stealing is not a long-term livelihood, especially Chang Chenggong, who dragged his children and daughters, he felt that it was time to show himself!

Chang Chenggong's leg and foot kung fu is not covered, and his skills are so flexible that no one can match them in the field, and he took the lead to touch the camp, and the group came to the foot of the camp without any danger.

When Chang Chenggong was proud, he found that Zhong Xiaoshi and others didn't pay attention to him at all, but kept gesturing, and soon, the group dispersed, as if they had received some orders, and they were busy with the things in their hands in an orderly manner, seeing Chang Chenggong secretly speechless, before he also said that he made a plan before the action, but Zhong Xiaoshi and others ignored it, making Chang Chenggong think that they were too tender, as a result, after finding out the situation and terrain, they used gestures to arrange, and quietly did things the safest, compared with his ideas, how much higher!
