Chapter 39 Benefiting the Land Bandits
Su Feiguang's bandits have also achieved great success, and with the support of Li Yao's money and weapons, they have already laid a place in Yiguo, occupying the mountain as the king!
The weapons and equipment produced by the craftsman team did make Su Feiguang's gang invincible when killing people and overselling goods, when he was slashing with others, he could cut off the steel knife on the opposite side at once, and the opposite side could only surrender without weapons, and these guards were all mixed food, Su Feiguang had never opened a killing ring, which made the merchants passing by understand that as long as they took the initiative to pay the toll, they could ensure that their lives were worry-free.
There are very few steel knives used by ordinary caravan guards, and they are basically iron knives, which are particularly brittle, compared with the high-quality steel knives of the King of Craftsmen, it is as easy as cutting tofu, which is indeed the crushing of equipment! A group of bandits can have weapons and equipment that are more powerful than the regular army, which is absolutely unprecedented in Yiguo.
When Su Feiguang left, Li Yao gave him five hundred sets of sophisticated equipment, and the steel knives were at least ten-refining strip steel knives, and even in the army, ten-refining steel knives could only be worn by the hundred-person team rate, and ten-refining strip steel knives were not at all worthwhile even if they met ordinary fifty-tempered steel knives.
With the help of the thin monkey, Su Feiguang quickly became familiar with the local wealthy households and local landlords.
Landlords who oppress the poor are not uncommon at any time. In addition to robbing some caravans in the past, Su Feiguang basically aimed at the landlords who oppressed the poor people, which is also the reason why Su Feiguang was able to develop rapidly, after Su Feiguang robbed the rich households, at least half of the silver was scattered to the local poor people, which made Su Feiguang win the title of a righteous bandit, and many poor people went up the mountain to invest in Su Feiguang's cottage.
This time, Su Feiguang was going to rob a landlord who was a common man, Su Feiguang didn't bring many people this time, he brought one hundred and fifty people, including fifty archers, most of these people were poor people who had defected to the local area, and of course there were also staff officers sent by Li Yao.
When Su Feiguang went to Yiguo, there were only more than 20 people, and it was Li Yao who gave him 100 people, which allowed Su Feicheng to gain a foothold in Yiguo.
"Big brother, we have been staring at this landlord for a long time, every day he will come from this road, let's tie him up this time, at least we can extort five thousand taels of silver!" Su Feicheng said in a low voice.
Su Feiguang nodded, when they get closer, let's start, Feiteng, you take twenty archers to ambush on their way back, and if anyone escapes, they will all be shot.
Su Feiteng nodded and led the twenty archers.
Feicheng, you take half of the people to the opposite side, and when you see me rushing down, you also rush down, let's make dumplings for them directly.
About the time of ambushing a stick of incense, he saw a big fat man riding on a tall horse, followed by more than a dozen guards, Su Feiguang saw that this big fat man was the landlord who did a lot of evil, so he shouted to kill: "Brothers, rush!" ”
A group of bandits rushed down with Su Feiguang, and when Su Feicheng saw that the eldest brother rushed out, he also rushed out from the other side, ready to surround the landlord, but the landlord rode a high-headed horse, and when he saw the bandits rushing out from both sides, he immediately rode his horse and turned around and galloped back.
Su Feiguang They didn't have a horse, so they could only watch the landlord run away on horseback, although they watched the landlord run away alive, they were not anxious at all, because the direction of the landlord was the direction of Su Feiteng's ambush.
Twenty archers, the power of the salvo is still very great, at least a horse is sure to shoot down, after Su Feiguang cleaned up those dog legs, Su Feiteng really escorted the big fat landlord over, and there was a tall horse behind him, according to Su Feiteng, as soon as the landlord saw that he bent his bow and aimed at him, he fell off the horse by himself, and then was captured alive.
After Su Feiteng finished speaking, all the bandits laughed, and let a few dogs go back to report the news, "Take five thousand taels of silver and a lot of money, and trade in the Thirty Mile Temple three days later, pay the money with one hand and the person with the other." ”
Put a few dog legs back, Su Feiguang rode on a tall horse, took the landlord, and walked towards the cottage.
The staff officer of the army inside recorded that at the beginning of July of the nineteenth year of Chengsheng, Su Feiguang captured a landlord in Jiangshan Town, Yiguo, and ransomed 5,000 taels of silver. Belong to the crowd that can be blackmailed!
There are many staff officers like this, in fact, it can be simply thought that this is what Li Yao sent to monitor Su Feiguang, Li Yao is not particularly familiar with Su Feiguang, so he must be closely monitored!
Su Feiguang is also clear about this, it is the responsibility of these people to contact weapons and equipment, but Su Feiguang does not think that these people are just as simple as contacting weapons and equipment, and monitoring themselves must also be one of their tasks, so every time they go to rob, they will be allowed to follow the staff officers of the army!
Since the landlord has been caught, then the Thirty Mile Temple is the last level he has to pass, Su Feiguang didn't believe it, he said to them that they were not allowed to report to the official, they honestly did not report to the official, this landlord is the brother-in-law of the local county, he has to plan well, so that he can get the money smoothly!
Yiguo said that the good thing is that the dynasty collapsed, and the villain was in charge. To put it in layman's terms, the lord of Yiguo has long been ignorant of the world, and everything is handed over to the personal eunuch to handle, even if it is an early dynasty, it is presided over by eunuchs, which may also be caused by the geographical environment of Yiguo, Yiguo is mountainous and the terrain is dangerous, so even if there is an external trouble, there is no need to worry about being broken.
The country is rich in water and soil, and the food grown is too much to eat, but this does not mean that the local area is very rich, on the contrary, there are people who starve to death here every year, and the monopoly policy of those landlords is too brutal, and the local people really can't stand upright!
This landlord is the brother-in-law of the county order of Zhijin County, which is a big county in the country, but Yiguo is good at gambling, and the county order of Zhijin County is also addicted to gambling, and he lingers in the gambling hall every day, and he has never cared about the political affairs of the county! So the economic situation of Zhijin County is not good!
Yiguo's gambling hall is really a major feature of the country, Yiguo's gambling hall is state-run, and the money earned in it is directly supplied to the palace! At first, Su Feiguang was surprised when he came to Yiguo, he was able to open a gambling house into a state-run house, and this lord of Yiguo was really extravagant enough!
Zhijin County theoretically has 3,000 city guards, but in fact, the county order is good for gambling, only half of the food and salary of the city guards are given every year, and the remaining half is used to gamble, so in fact, there are only 1,500 city guards in Zhijin County, as for the weapons and equipment of the local city guards, it is even more miserable, some of the swords in their hands are rusty, and no one cares, Zhijin County is the hinterland of Yiguo, so there is no need to worry about external troubles, plus there is a eunuch in the palace who is his godfather, so these should be the reasons why the Zhijin County order is unscrupulous!
