readx; Zhou Hao said: "What kind of organization is Qingfeng Village? ”
Su Xingdao: "Qingfeng Village is more than 100 kilometers away from Nanjing City on Qingfeng Mountain, where it was originally a Taoist temple, originally called Qingfeng Temple, there is a Taoist living in it, the people on the rivers and lakes are called jade rod real person Jin Shenzi, this person is quite good at some swordsmanship and spells, this demon road is quite favored by Emperor Yingzong at that time, often enter the palace for the emperor to calculate feng shui, and later Jin Shenzi was divided by the imperial court around Qingfeng Mountain, this person began to recruit apprentices in a big way, nearly 1,000 disciples, after the death of Jin Shenzi, A Taoist named Qiao Yuzhen inherited his inheritance and began to build Qingfeng Village in Qingfeng Mountain, relying on some martial arts passed down by Jin Shenzi and began to plunder everywhere.

Zhou Hao said: "How did you know about Qingfeng Village's escort of salt?" ”
Su Xingdao: "We have been relying on looting to solve the problem of military spending recently, so we have our eyeliner in several places, and it is said that this salt is only escorted by about 100 people, which is a great opportunity." ”
Zhou Hao listened, this vote is worth doing, no matter what, as long as there is a sum of money, the transformation of the weapons of the Longwei Corps can be carried out.
"Immediately recruit the whole army!"
Su Xing led the order to go out.
Zhou Hao sorted out his clothes and came out of the house, and a few hundred meters in front of the house was a wide field, where the sergeants gathered.
When Zhou Hao walked to the venue, more than 3,000 soldiers had already stood in several camps.
Su Xing roughly talked about tonight's mission, and Zhou Hao thought that it would be feasible to bring about a thousand people.
Outside the city of Nanjing, there were some gentle hills, and Zhou Hao and Su Xing led an army of about 1,000 people to walk secretly among the mountain roads.
After a while, a sergeant rode towards this team, and Zhou Hao was about to say something, Su Xing said: "This is our eyeliner, and he designated it to report to us on the operation of Qingfeng Village." ”
Sure enough, the soldier quickly walked in front of Zhou Hao's horse and said, "Back to the commander, Qingfeng Village is in the Datong Mountain not far ahead, and their number is about one hundred and twenty. ”
Zhou Hao said to Su Xing: "Do you know anything about the situation around Datong Mountain?" ”
Su Xingdao: "I know very well. ”
Zhou Hao said: "Immediately order, all the sergeants outflanked in a roundabout way." ”
The sergeants rode swiftly through the mountains like serpents.
The stars are dim in the sky, and the cool breeze of early summer is coming.
Fu Lao Liu unbuttoned his coat and let the cool breeze blow to his chest, humming a few times from time to time.
At this time, he was in a very happy mood, because the salt he was escorting soon arrived in Nanjing, to be precise, he robbed the salt and silk.
This salt was originally from Tangjiabao, and the owner of the fort, Tang Haiyun, bought a large amount of salt from Jianghuai a month ago, and was going to accumulate it and buy it in Jiangnan, so that he could make a lot of money in the middle, but he didn't expect to be robbed by Fu Laoliu and his men on the way.
Fu Lao Liu's fingers only had six fingers, and the other four fingers of his right hand were cut off by the sword except for the thumb.
Fu Lao Liu also used a knife originally, but since his four fingers were cut off, he began to practice the judge's pen with his left hand.
His judge's pen was made of bronze, a three-foot-three smoking pot, and he used him to smoke and used it as a judge's pen when he confronted people.
Now he was sitting in the carriage, squinting and smoking a cigarette.
He thought that he would be able to go to Nanjing City tomorrow morning, and then he could go to Fireworks Willow Lane to enjoy it greatly, and he couldn't help but laugh when he thought of this.
Suddenly, only a few "whoosh" sounds could be heard in the night sky, and then screams came.
Fu Lao Liu was about to say what was going on, when suddenly an arrow feather was nailed to the car he was sitting in, no more than a few feet away from him.
Fu Lao Liu turned over and got out of the car, and suddenly heard a person: "Oh no, we are surrounded." ”
After a burst of arrows like flying locusts, there was a shout of killing from all directions.
Zhou Hao gave an order: "Those who put down their weapons and surrender to sincerity will not be killed." ”
The vast majority of the people under Fu Lao Liu and Lao Liu are bandits, and whoever can give them food will take refuge in whom, and when they heard this, they abandoned their weapons and raised their hands.
Sure enough, it was eight carts of salt, Zhou Hao looked at this batch of salt, and his heart was overjoyed.
Suddenly, a strong gust of wind came to his face, and Zhou Hao instinctively flashed sideways.
Fu Lao Liu's judge pointed straight towards Zhou Hao.
Zhou Hao didn't answer, took out his pistol and shot straight at Fu Lao Liu.
Fu Lao Liu had already jumped up, ready to point at Zhou Hao's Heavenly Spirit Acupoint again, but jumped into the air and fell.
Zhou Hao didn't look back anymore, knowing that this shot was enough to kill him.
The first time out of the division went very well, Zhou Hao was overjoyed, and ordered the soldiers to transport the batch of salt back to the army, and go to Nanjing City tomorrow to exchange it for cash.
Back in the barracks, Zhou Hao said to Su Xing: "Do you usually rob salt like this?" ”
Su Xingdao: "It's probably the same, but it's not as smooth as today." ”
Zhou Hao said: "How many taels of silver can this salt be exchanged for, you can evaluate it." ”
Su Xing said: "Six thousand taels of silver shouldn't be a problem. ”
Zhou Hao said: "Six thousand taels of silver is already a lot of money. ”
At dawn the next day, Zhou Hao got up. At this time, Su Xing came over and said to Zhou Hao: "Who is responsible for escorting the salt money?" ”
Zhou Hao said: "I think you will be responsible." Send more than 500 people to be responsible for escorting, and you must pay attention to safety on the road. ”
Su Xing took the order and left.
Zhou Hao stood on the top of the mountain and watched a round of red sun rise.
It's mid-May, and the Manchus have been in charge of Beijing for some time. We must not wait until the Manchus gain a firm foothold in the north, otherwise it will be much more difficult to go north to the Central Plains at that time.
How can we organize a strong army in the shortest possible time and be able to control the government of the Southern Ming.
Thinking of this, Zhou Hao couldn't help but sigh, building a huge empire is easy to say, but it is really difficult to do it.
"It's better to take these 3,000 soldiers and flee to an overseas island, and then become a pirate who dominates one side."
Dispelling some evil thoughts in his heart, Zhou Hao returned to the camp tent, found a few pieces of paper, and began to think about how to reorganize the weapons and equipment of the Longwei Corps.
The kind of fire gun of the Ming style is obviously not good, and this fire gun can be changed into a rifle with ten rounds. Think about it, if there was a rifle army of three thousand people, it would also be invincible in this era.
Zhou Hao couldn't help but smile bitterly, in this era, millet plus rifle is an advanced weapon.
The construction of the rifle is not, and the requirements for equipment are low, starting with the rifle.
Zhou Hao spread out a piece of paper and drew the mechanical composition of the rifle on the white rice paper.
In the afternoon, Su Xing had already said that the eight carts of salt had been exchanged for a total of eight thousand taels of silver.
