This Brother Mao is none other than the Brother Mao of Li Dahu and Li Laocai's family, the Brother Mao who waved his fists and used knives with Luo Dan as early as last year's New Year.

He and Luo Dan can be regarded as "old acquaintances", they have fought, suffered Luo Dan's fists, but also successfully sneak attacked Luo Dan to have panda eyes, and also used a knife but did not see blood, when he took Li Laocai's people to the village, he was lucky to avoid the first bullet fired at him and the bullet behind, and some time ago, when the mountain village attacked Li Laocai's compound, Brother Mao's experience can be used to make a joke.

Brother Mao was lucky enough to escape the shelling and run out from Li Laocai, it was simply a lucky god possessed on the same day, in the battle that day, at the beginning of the first round of shelling, Brother Mao saw that the situation was not good, and before everyone reacted, he took advantage of his thin and flexible body, and ran down the wooden ladder that had not been completely destroyed, and even his master did not care about it and quickly ran out of the tulou; If running out of the building was an instinctive reaction, then the series of escapes that followed were intentional, because he remembered it as soon as he came out...... The old man didn't run away just now, so he ran first...... But what can I do when I react, the old man will not give himself a thank you word and a good face when he goes back, and before he can think more, a few shells behind Huang Shicheng will bombard the tulou to the ground, Brother Mao will see this posture - come on, hurry up and run away, the Li family is finished!!

At that time, because there were few people in the mountain village, he did not deliberately surround the village, and in the last march, Brother Mao learned to bow his head in front of the guns and bend his body to show that the humble people would be treated preferentially, so Brother Mao fled all the way north from the direction of the north without danger; Because there was no road guide, Brother Mao knew that if he went to places like Shanhuang Village and Chabao, he would definitely be caught, so he could only go all the way up the mountains and detour, drink spring water and dew when he was thirsty, and chew grass roots when he was hungry, and finally came to Gutiansuo with great difficulty and found his cousin who was on an errand here......

My cousin didn't live well in Gutian, but he had a bite to eat, and strictly speaking, he was not a military household, but he was just an errand here, and his ** degree and other benefits were half a point better than that of military households, and he could finally support his family. Brother Mao's defection came with more mouths, but the cousin didn't say anything, after all, the Mao family is so many people here, and they are relatives of the same blood, so they naturally want to help, but they don't think about Brother Mao's description that there are people and thieves in the south and sharp firearms.

The Li family was destroyed, in fact, the next day the Gutian Institute received the help personnel sent by the Li family at that time, don't forget that Li Laocai has a son, but he bought a military position in the Gutian Institute, but this hundred households have a low status and are from buying officials, so naturally they will not have any real power, and the eldest son of the Li family is looking for someone every day to say that he will send troops but there is not enough interest to deal with it...... He couldn't move a single soldier! Moreover, in the eyes of these corrupt officials, the dead Li family is more conducive to them to turn Li Laocai's land and property into their own after quelling the rebellion, and it is impossible for everyone to send troops under tacit understanding...... Out of this mentality, coupled with the need to change the land and return to the stream, the local officials who controlled Shanhuang Village were beaten and did not send troops, and it was not until Chabao was taken that the officials of Yongning Prefecture and Gutian began to mobilize troops......

The information transmission of this era is not developed, the civil and military attaches did not believe in the sharp firearms of those riotous people and thieves at the beginning, nor did they believe how powerful those people can be, this psychology is due to the actual conditions of the low quality of the rebels in various places and weak armed forces, and also have their own personal experience after the feelings, the development of firearms in the Ming Dynasty has reached a new height, but many firearms have repeatedly occurred because of the quality of the accident, so most people have this kind of solidified thinking that firearms are unreliable in their hearts.

It was only in the battle of Chabao that these officials believed in how sharp and terrible the firearms of those fancy people were, and those firearms were not at all like the firearms they were equipped with, which fired slowly and easily exploded. And within a few days, these flowery people even pulled the team to the outside of the Gutian Institute, and they wanted to attack the Gutian Institute without fear, this kind of courage not only frightened many officials who had not yet come to their senses, but also suppressed how many ordinary people at the bottom......

Brother Mao's cousin's family also belongs to the category of being suppressed, of course, in addition to the strong armed strength shown by the other party, what makes them even more excited is the content of the shouting of the opposite flower skin army, which promised not to disturb the people and reduce the tax, and only trouble the officials for Tianxingdao...... In this era, people at the bottom of the class are far more concerned about their own interests than the state and the whole, and as long as someone can keep their private property and reduce the burden on them, they can easily switch to the other party's command; This is also why Li Zicheng made a propaganda phrase such as not paying food when the king came, just to be able to disintegrate the resistance and will to resist of the other party's low-level personnel from the beginning.

It's just that the officials here have sent people to patrol and block the intersection outside, and Brother Mao's cousin's family is not bad at doing this kind of work, so Brother Mao, an outsider, naturally becomes the best candidate. At first, Brother Mao was reluctant to go, but the flower skin army on the opposite side was offended, what if he gave someone away in the past? It's just that he can't stand his cousin's plea, and then think about it, he really eats people here, and he can't keep it when he looks at the posture of the flower skin army on the other side, Brother Mao can only stubbornly sneak out of the night; Don't mention it, along the way, he also encountered a number of dark shadows who had the same intentions and thoughts as him, but because he didn't know these people, and he was also afraid of the details of the official government, Brother Mao didn't say anything and didn't act with them, until he ran outside, and was found and brought here by those flower skin soldiers......

Luo Dan recognized Brother Mao, and Brother Mao naturally recognized Luo Dan, under such conditions, the meeting of "old acquaintances" naturally made Brother Mao a little embarrassed, but Luo Dan was still a little worried about how to take revenge at this time and didn't have time to pay attention to Brother Mao, but it was Deng Shifeng who called Brother Mao over after seeing him......

"It's okay to call me sir, don't be restrained, there is no stool here, so I wronged you to sit on the stone, Luo Dan, pour him a cup of hot water......"

Seeing that Brother Mao, who was called over alone, looked cramped and didn't know where to put his hands and feet, and his mouth couldn't help twitching and he didn't know how to speak, Deng Shifeng not only sacrificed a pro-people move to let Brother Mao relax, but even asked Luo Dan to pour some hot water from the stainless steel thermos pot he brought over in later life to the other party...... It's just that he didn't expect it, which made Brother Mao even more nervous, Brother Mao is not stupid, he knew from Deng Shifeng's position in the middle of the entire camp how high the status of the two people in front of him was in this group, and the other party's metal gadgets that could pour hot water casually made him feel that it was a kind of rumored witchcraft, for fear that the other party would give him [***] medicine or something else...... Not to mention, a few bright air death lamps were shining on the land not far away, and the brightness and glare of the lanterns, which were completely different from the traditional lanterns, only intensified the rumors of witchcraft.

Seeing Brother Mao's fear and nervousness, Deng Shifeng was not in a hurry, the difference in the times and the reversal of identity were not acceptable to the other party at once, anyway, there was still time now, Deng Shifeng was not in a hurry, and after pouring himself a cup of hot water, he began to slowly make a family conversation with Brother Mao, from where Brother Mao was from, how long he had been in the Li family, and from time to time in the chat to explain and promise that he would not go through old accounts to find him trouble, it took a while to reduce Brother Mao's nervousness to a level where he could talk normally.

"So, you're sneaking out ......on behalf of your cousin's family and the neighborhood."

Finally, after Brother Mao told him about his previous experience, as well as the intention of coming out and the general situation inside entrusted by his cousin, Deng Shifeng's smile became more friendly, and the information given by Brother Mao was exactly what he wanted most.

"Yes, sir...... But I didn't see those neighbors tell me about this, it was all my cousin told me...... "In the conversation with the chief on the other side just now, Brother Mao already knew that the other party didn't like to exaggerate, but it was easier to be favored by him to tell the truth, and the more detailed things could be said, the better, so Brother Mao added what he had just missed."

Looking at the time on his wrist, Deng Shifeng suddenly had a bold idea, and after approaching Brother Mao, he whispered:

"Brother Mao, do you dare to go back tonight and come out again after a message?!

Hearing the chief on the other side talking to himself in a low voice, Brother Mao was stunned for a moment and immediately understood that this was an opportunity for the other party to afford to give him a name, of course, he also understood how dangerous it was to do what he was going to do, but it was sung well in the play, isn't wealth just the danger of seeking. Besides, he was going to return to the station to deliver the message, and he didn't care about risking another trip, so he immediately expressed his courage.

"You go back and tell your cousin that our rebel army is naturally the army of kings who do what they say, so that he doesn't have to worry about us going back on our word. But if you come out with your family, you can only be like everyone else, rich and dangerous, if you and your cousin can contact a group of people inside......"

Deng Shifeng whispered to Brother Mao about his thoughts, after Brother Mao heard Deng Shifeng's thoughts, his face was constantly changing, but Brother Mao could survive without hesitation, and he gritted his teeth and agreed, and disappeared into the night under the leadership of the soldiers in the mountain village.

"Teacher, does this work? Don't they cheat us? ”

"It doesn't matter if it's useful or not, the fortress is the easiest to conquer from within, as long as he is in internal chaos, it has already met our minimum requirements; Can you really make some moves in it that will benefit us...... That's for us to pick up a big bargain! But if they want to pit us? Hey, I'll let them know who's pitting whom! (To be continued.) )
