Meng Hai took the township warriors of Shangjun County to suppress bandits outside, and they were able to seize a lot of weapons and armor every month, there were thousands of leather armor and knives alone, and although the 20,000 township warriors were all rabble, there was no problem with the bandits who were more scum than them.

As for the rest of the equipment such as horse swords and light armor, Meng Hai captured more.

Su Yi sold all the leather armor and knives to the Haoqiang in Shangjun County, as for the horse chopping knives and light armor, Su Yi picked out dozens of pieces and sold them to the squires and Haoqiang who took the initiative to show favor to him, and the rest picked out some and sold them to Wangjiazhuang.

After Haoqiang and the squires learned the news, the resentment of being forced to donate by Su Yi was gone all of a sudden, and they all ran to the county government to ask Su Yi about the authenticity of the news.

Their subordinates are not like the village warriors under Meng Hai, the family members and guards under these powerful men are one less dead, and their weapons and armor are very inferior, and they can't even exchange one-to-one for bandits and bandits.

Of course, in a family like the Liu family, the guards of the head of the family are all equipped with equipment such as horse swords and light armor, but there are not many of them, and most of them are only equipped with such equipment by a few dozen people.

Now that Su Yiken is selling weapons and armor to them, this is undoubtedly a blessing for many forces in Shangjun County.

The world is in turmoil, and Da Chu's ban on weapons has long been forgotten by the people everywhere, and now in this situation, it is already called a good citizen if he does not rebel with the Wudou Mi Sect.

The edifice of Da Chu is about to collapse, and Su Yi is just using this official position to maximize his interests.

When the war of the Wudou Mi Sect subsides, or the Wudou Mi Sect and the imperial court become a tug-of-war, then the military generals from all over the country will divide one side and become the princes who support the army and respect themselves, and then the entire Great Chu Imperial Court will exist in name only.

During the Taiping period, the Great Chu Dynasty emphasized literature and light military force, and the period of war. In the eyes of those soldiers, the life of a civilian official is not even as good as a dog.

Unless they can rely on the power of the princes, they may be able to protect themselves when the world is in turmoil.

With these weapons and equipment provided by Su Yi, even if the many heroes in Shangjun County suffered heavy losses in the process of suppressing bandits, they were willing, and the weapons and armor obtained by each bandit would only further improve their strength.

They are different from Meng Hai, the villagers under Meng Hai's command eat the military rations allocated by the imperial court, receive the salary of the imperial court, and half of the weapons captured each time they are captured, and the weapons and equipment captured by these powerful forces do not need to be handed over.

And so it goes. They have an opportunity to expand their capabilities.

Wang Biao was cautious by nature, even though Wangjiazhuang's private soldiers were well-equipped, but he was still unwilling to risk attacking the bandits outside the city, for fear that Wangjiazhuang would suffer heavy losses and lose the opportunity to expand his power and territory, but he did not know that this did not preserve Wangjiazhuang's vitality, but also hindered the further development of Wangjiazhuang.

Although the soldiers of Wangjiazhuang are well-equipped, they have not been baptized on the battlefield and cannot become elite soldiers in a hundred battles. Maybe it's okay for them to bully a small number of bandits, but once they encounter a large-scale and murderous enemy, they are afraid that they will be defeated before they fight, and they will be vulnerable.

Meng Hai is leading 20,000 villagers to suppress bandits everywhere in Shangjun County. The scale of these 20,000 township warriors is huge, and the rogues and bandits in Shangjun County are beaten by Meng Hai and only dare to wander on a small scale, so that Wang Biao and other forces in Shangjun County are just cheaper.

Their servants and guards are worse than the rabble. But the victory lies in the large number of people, the main force of the bandits has been pinned down by Meng Hai, and the remaining minions are based on their numbers and weapons. Totally coping.

Su Yi sold the captured weapons to them, and these powerful people used the weapons they bought from Su Yi to go around to suppress the bandits, and the weapons and armor obtained by the bandits could be equipped with a private army.

Unconsciously, because of Su Yi's arrival, the powerful power of Shangjun County has improved as a whole, and even the power of other counties has developed more rapidly than that of other counties.

In other areas, at least, the government does not dare to sell weapons in a blatant manner.

It was precisely because of Su Yi's decision that when Yuwentai attacked the city not long after, with the desperate decisive battle of many powerful forces, Shangjun County was kept from being captured by the Hu people, and it also bought time for Su Yi to free up his hands to deal with Baihu Village.

After Su Yi arranged the corresponding affairs of Shangjun County, he took Gao Heihu and others back to Taohuazhai.

Now that the cottage has solved the problem of food supply, the real elite is not the kind that feeds the war with war, and hits wherever the gun goes, even if the army is strong, it is just a group of sharp rogues after all, just like the brave and warlike black armor army in the vertical and horizontal mountains, although they are famous, but because they have no foundation, they can only be rootless duckweed, and they can't become any climate.

In Su Yi's view, the end of the Black Armor Army was either to rely on a certain force or to be exterminated.

The pressure they brought to Su Yi was not even as good as that of the White Tiger Village, although the Black Armor Army was more difficult than the bandits in the White Tiger Village, but since they did not have a large rear, Su Yi was not afraid of this gang of murderers at all.

Of course, the Black Armor Army also has their own advantages, precisely because they have no foundation, no so-called big rear, every time they loot others, they don't have to worry about the other party's counterattack, even if the other party kills them on a large scale to retaliate against them, it is difficult to find them.

This is also the reason why the Black Armor Army is palpitating in the vertical and horizontal mountains, no one wants to provoke a group of bandits who have no foundation and no cottage, this group of people is not only difficult, but also very strong in combat, and there is no place to retaliate afterwards, who wants to provoke such a group of murderers?

But that was before, if there was chaos today, there was no way out and no future for this rogue-style play.

The problem of grain Su Yi can be solved through the Yongji Canal, but the problem of pig iron and iron ore still exists, and the next goal of Taohuazhai is to take Chifengling.

To take Chifeng Ridge, we must first solve the bandits in Mangdang Mountain, and at the same time solve the hidden danger of Ji Fu, but Ji Fu has already taken her canteen village to take refuge in the White Tiger Village, once the Dumu Village is shot, it will inevitably lead the White Tiger Village to march in a big way, and then the Peach Blossom Village will experience a vicious battle.

Although Peach Blossom Village is now strong and strong, Su Yi is still not very willing to fight with White Tiger Village, and he has cheapened other cottages in vain.

And the many cottages in Mangdang Mountain are different from the Hu people in Yongji Canal, these cottages have strong cities to hold, and the Hu people in Yongji Canal did not build any fortifications, so Su Yi did not spend too much money to take Yongji Canal.

And the Dumu Village is different, these cottages are similar to the original Qingyun Village, if you want to attack head-on, unless you have heavy weapons to siege the city, you can only lose the soldiers, sacrifice the lives of the soldiers, and rely on human lives to take those cottages.

Obviously, this is not in line with the interests of Peach Blossom Village, with the power of Peach Blossom Village's target, it is not difficult to take down the Dumu Village by force, and it is not even a problem to take down several cottages around the Dumu Village together, but in this way, the loss of the Peach Blossom Village is too great for Su Yi to bear.
