Hu Yuan used to be a horse bandit, over the years, he has joined more than a dozen horse bandits, of course, timidity and a trace of conscience in his heart, at most he robbed things, and he really didn't have much blood debt in his hands, which was also the fundamental reason why he was captured by Feng Ying, and finally transformed into a soldier, this time he was also sent out, and the experience among many horse bandits made it easy for him to find some Chinese people and use them to complete the task.

Horse bandits have a fixed circle, it is not easy to find their nest, but through guò some half-black and half-white, spread some news, it is not difficult, and even some Chinese people also have the task of selling stolen goods and investigating, Hu Yuantong guò a few Chinese people, after successfully transmitting the news, he did not stay long, the life of the horse bandits, is not what he likes, once again back to the horse bandits such a precarious life, this is definitely not the choice of smart people, from the northeast as a soldier, to the Baotou militia, it can be said that the above chief, has never treated him badly, and in a certain way, he likes such a life under the sun, in a sense, such a life is comfortable, even if it is a little dangerous.

There are at least dozens of people who have the same task as Hu Yuan, they use their own channels, and even find some connections to leak the information they know, everyone has their own ambitions, like Hu Yuan, accounting for the majority, but there are also people like Zhang Ming, who are carried away by money.

The new army left Baotou, and Baotou had more than 10 million silver, even if it was a few thousand, tens of thousands of people attacked Baotou, as long as Baotou was taken, it was divided, there were hundreds of taels or thousands of taels, or even thousands, not to mention so many industrial and mining enterprises and goods in Baotou, and people were not born unequal, those big-bellied businessmen, what to fight with huge wealth, he Zhang Ming will also follow this salted fish to turn over, the task given by the commander of the militia is not clear, but it is an opportunity, a chance for him to turn over.

Zhang Ming directly found a line of red, because of the previous experience, he met Tong Shan smoothly, Tong Shan calmed down after listening to his words, during this time, in fact, in various channels, there was news coming, because the imperial court, let Baotou set up 54 mixed association, so Baotou's militia is about to move to Taiyuan, to go to Taiyuan to train, Baotou only has a few hundred soldiers.

Tong Shan just started, he didn't care much, they were active around Baotou, they were the target of the militia groups, maybe, take this news, lead them to attack, his good days have only been a few days, Ma Yuanqin and others promised friends, coming soon, at most a week or two, their combined personnel, will exceed 2000, even if it is a horse, there are 1800, this number, can even be on some 300 carriages, the guards are more than 400 people in the caravan action, That's what he's supposed to focus on.

The sweetness of robbing the Qu family, everyone can't forget it, the Qu family is only about 100,000 taels, plus tens of thousands of taels worth of firearms, 300 carriages, maybe 200,000, or even more, but now, there is such a big opportunity, it came to him so easily, compared with the silver number and Baotou, what is a caravan, I heard that the number of cloths produced in Baotou is tens of thousands, and there are many other things, plus the ticket numbers of those Jin merchants, how can it be a huge family capital.

Settle Zhang Ming, Tong Shan immediately asked his subordinates to investigate, he is a cautious person, in the northwest, there are many bold people, and there are many ruthless people, but to survive, you must be cautious, which is also the root of the first line of red can become one of the most famous horse bandits in the northwest. Tongshan has been crisscrossing the northwest for many years, and has its own channels, and sure enough, a lot of news came, although it was uncertain, but the Wei family and several other ticket numbers really did not transport the silver car to Taiyuan and Zhangjiakou.

Before, in order to rob the silver car, he had done his homework, Baotou is really a treasure land to absorb gold, under normal circumstances, the daily cash transaction, at least more than one million, such days are almost 10 days, in this way, just a Weijia ticket number, there is at least 10 million taels of silver, and the other ticket numbers add up, and it is 10 million, 20 million taels, Tong Shan breathed rapidly, as a red boss, drink a lot, eat meat in a big bowl, in a sense, he has not seen the world, But the number of 10 million taels still made his heart beat violently.

Horse bandit robbery, isn't it just for money, if there is enough money, who would want to live such a precarious life, what is Baotou, the northwest border, there was an experience of being attacked by horse bandits in the past, and now, there is so much money, it seems that we should discuss it with everyone, and do a big vote.

The militia camp, at this time, all the new troops gathered together, and informed the bandits, some people did not come back, although there were only a few, but Wang Jinming was a little angry, it took so long to train the soldiers, so light, they were lost, this is a shame, he wrote this down, it seems that he should really tell Yang Yuanzhao in the future, do a good job of pacifying.

Whether it is a drama or a layout, the new army must leave, and it will be a huge departure. People from all walks of life in Baotou have come to participate in the new army's camp ceremony, whether it is beating gongs and drums, or firecrackers are ringing in unison, it is very eye-catching, all the new army, fully armed, majestic and high-spirited stride, 3,000 people are like one person, the momentum is very compelling.

Some watch the excitement, some are worried, and some have ulterior motives, there are too many foreign populations in Baotou, and it is a very difficult thing to manage, if you want to clear out most of the horse bandit spies, it is impossible, besides, Yang Yuanzhao's purpose is not to hide from them, the new army is definitely going to go, and it will be shown openly.

Liu Shu is still worried, tens of thousands of horse bandits, on a certain Cheng dù, like a mountain, heavy pressure on his heart, the new army is completely transferred, in order to attract the horse bandits to attack the head, this is inevitable, but only the remaining hundreds of people, counting the militia is only a thousand, can you deal with so many horse bandits, the horse bandits have been crisscrossing the northwest for many years, and their combat power is not inferior to that of skilled soldiers, in case one is not good, and the horse bandits break into Baotou, that fun will be great.

"Yuan Zhao, do you want to think about it again, really let the militia go!" Liu Shu is still willing to work hard at the end.

"Don't worry, I know this!"

Wang Jinming also said: "Yes, Zelin, Yuan Zhao has made full preparations, a peace of mind!" ”

In the past 10 days, there are more than 30 artillery towers, arranged in key positions, with a gun tower can cover a range of 2 miles, it can be said that even if Baotou is hit by the horse bandits, the horse bandits do not want to go deep into Baotou, plus barbed wire, trenches and soldiers, it can be said that it is impregnable, unless the other side has artillery, and it is at least 75 or more heavy artillery. Is it possible that a horse bandit has a cannon, the reason why a horse bandit is a horse bandit, mobility and flexibility are its foundation, with a heavy cannon, the speed will definitely be reduced.

Liu Shu also knew that it was almost impossible to persuade Yang Yuanzhao, sighed, and did not speak much, the militia was strengthening training, especially Makqin's, in the training ground, the gunshots were almost non-stop, Yang Yuanzhao did not plan to let the militia go up to fight a tough battle, put it on the fort, just use it to manipulate Makqin, the reinforced concrete turret can protect the artillery for a period of time, not to mention ordinary horse bandits, even if it is a rifle, it is not the most advanced, explosives or something, let alone not.

Lectures, speeches, departure, 3,000 people walked out of Baotou with neat steps, slowly out of Baotou, they will go to Taiyuan at a speed of 50-60 miles a day, this speed is not fast, it can even be said to be relatively slow, it is expected that after 14 days, arrive in Taiyuan, hide in the crowd, staring at the spies of this new army, it is also very clear that such a military appearance, such a momentum, there is no zài any doubtful soldiers, to cultivate 3,000 such momentum of doubtful soldiers, it is almost impossible.

Tong Shan, who received the report, had a somewhat blank expression, did the 3,000 people really leave, they had been pressing on top of his head, making him a little breathless, and the new army left Baotou so easily, leaving only a few hundred people from the Yellow River Patrol Battalion, Baotou seemed to be a child who entered the trouble with gold, and now, the adults who took care of him are gone, and there are people with good intentions all around, and they seem to be able to act.

"Keep an eye on those new troops, I want to know where they are every day!" Tong Shan said solemnly.

In Baotou, the bustle of the departure of the new army did not affect most people, and the workers could not feel the momentum of the surrounding forest, how to work, how to work, how to live, how to live, in a sense, to do a day's work, and then get enough pay, the departure of the new army, is just a talking point, and gradually faded.

Wei's ticket number, Wei Ming looked at the mountains of silver, slightly depressed, fortunately, most of the silver was put into the silver treasury, which was specially built by Yang Yuanzhao, and there was even a platoon of new troops responsible for taking care of it, but the daily transaction volume was constantly improving, Zhangjiakou and Taiyuan had already contacted Citibank, and 30 million US dollars of funds had been injected into it. Is Baotou better?

In the same way, there are other shareholders, the impact of bandits on business, they all know that if there are no bandits, there are no more bandits of all kinds, their yield will be on the basis of the current level, and then climb to a new level, so many years, even if the Beiyang and Qing courts have not completely eliminated the northwest bandits, can they be eliminated so lightly?
