Chapter Twenty-Six: Recruitment
"Wait, you mean that I will come forward to recruit them?" However, there were still people in this room who understood what Wang Yougui meant.
"Yes, that's what I mean! Dad, you can understand what I mean by looking at my cousin, you are a little slower, Dad, you are old, you should go home to retire! "Wang Yougui, this is a grudge against the old man just now for not helping him speak!
"Get out! You kid wants to rebel, don't you? Look at you, I won't break your dog's legs. Wang Yougui's father was really angry this time, and he threw out the teacup in his hand with a wave of his hand.
"Forget it, brother, Yougui just didn't want to stay in the militia anymore, so he came up with this reason." As soon as the county magistrate saw that the situation was not right, he immediately played a round, and then turned to Wang Yougui, "Yougui, don't think about escaping, this militia is still in charge of you, but if you don't want to face the group of horse bandits alone next time, you should still do what you just said." And be quick! ā
"Ahh I don't even know what they're called? Where can I go to find them? Wang Yougui thought to himself, what kind of errand is this, isn't this digging a pit by himself and jumping down by himself? In the past, Wang Yougui was eager to let Wang Yougui have time to go around other townships, but now when he goes out of the city, he may encounter horse bandits, so when he goes to other towns, isn't it just to randomly choose the time to meet with horse bandits? How can these two old things give themselves a problem?
"How to find that's your business? I don't know, no problem, Uncle Cousin gave you some pointers, didn't you just say that they picked up a batch of things thrown down by the horse bandits? Then they must still be in our county now, and you said that their horses are very special, they are all maroon, so we can also cast our nets and send people out to find them. However, when I heard you say, I had a question, you just said that their horses, forty of them are all the same color? ā
"Yes! It's all the same, and it's majestic. ā
The county magistrate touched his goatee and said uneasily, "This is not a dead soldier raised by the Overseer's Mansion!" This is 108,000 miles away, do you know how difficult it is to make a horse of the same height and the same color? ā
"Yes! I was dumbfounded, such a team is really a pile of money, but then I think that there is no overseer who is worthy of horses, and he can't afford guns, right? They all used small round bows, which were weapons from the pre-Qing period. So you don't have to worry about this, the problem now is that only they can withstand the horse bandits, and there are only fifty people in my Biqiao Township Militia who are alive and not crippled. ā
"So few, well, you go and pull the village guards of each village into your team first, anyway, those big landlords have their own guardians, and the smaller villages don't have to worry about it, and if there are fewer people, it doesn't matter, so you will focus on defending the big towns, and let those who have the ability enter the town. Wait a few days, I'll transfer weapons to you from the county warehouse, and you kid can save me some use. If the bandits don't leave before the autumn harvest this year, then I'll have to report to the Overseers and ask them to send someone to drive them out. In addition, you have to look for the team in red quietly, and quickly. Don't let Pan Datou know, if he has another cavalry in his hand, the next county magistrate is probably his. "The county magistrate is already betting on the overseer? Are the Overseers still fighting in the north? I really don't know when I'll be back.
"Got it, cousin!" Wang Yougui thought that as long as he persisted until the autumn harvest, there would be only a few days left, and he would be able to sneak to Shanghai then.
"What? It was a team of horses in red clothes who defeated the money leopard in Qingfeng Village! Pan Datou got this shocking news in his resting place.
A masked man in black stood in the shadow of the corner and said: "Yes, there are more than forty people in total, but only forty people fought against the horse bandits, and as a result, no one was lost, and the horse bandits lost more than thirty people. ā
"Are you sure it's the Golden Leopard and not another horse bandit impostor?" Pan Datou was very skeptical of this result.
"Yes, when the villain was in charge of intelligence, he saw the portraits of all the bandit leaders in Anhui, including the money leopard, the big boss of Qingfeng Village." The man in black continued.
"So, is there any news on the red-clad team? Where did they come from? "The leopard is a bandit! The officers and soldiers encircled and suppressed it many times, but they were not destroyed, and they even let a horse team lose their armor and abandon their armor.
"No, no, their horses are so fast, our men can only track their horseshoe prints, but it's certain that they disappeared after entering the Shifoshan District." The man in black replied.
"It's Shifo Mountain again! Haven't you been in the mountains for a long time? Could this be the people who robbed the forest farms? "As soon as Pan Datou heard Shi Foshan, it was really a head or two, and it was his own territory! Why has it become a bazaar recently, and everyone can come and go whenever they want?
"Since no one has seen several incidents about you, there is no way to say for sure." The man in black remained in the shadows in the corner, not moving a single step.
"Well, let's leave it at this for the time being, if there is any new news, notify me as soon as possible, this is a hundred oceans, thank you for your intelligence, happy cooperation!" Pan Datou threw out a bag full of money.
For the first time, Zhao Yun found out that it was so troublesome to raise horses, and the horses of those horse bandits had to be fed grass every night after they came back, and it had only been two days like this, and they had already lost a lot of weight.
"Let's sell them anyway!" Shao Lao Er mentioned yƬ to.
Originally, Zhao Yun wanted to give them to the people of Shifoshan, but Wu Xiaoya said that they couldn't afford to raise them, so they could only kill and eat horse meat.
The salt in the stone chamber was replenished by a batch of people taken from the horse bandits, but it did not last long, and now there were more than fifty prisoners. That's more than fifty mouths! In the past, Zhao Yun ate the whole family and was not hungry, but now, killed, Zhao Yun can't do it, he can't raise it, he can't afford to raise it anymore, let them go home, they have all seen that they are puppets, although some people have been "persuaded" by the monks, but the next two groups of people have not been "persuaded". If he confesses, he will definitely be chased and killed by Pan Datou as soon as he appears in the future.
"Leave it all to the monks!" Thinking of the ore vein provided by Shi Foshan, Zhao Yun still felt that it would be better to leave these people behind.
Since he wants to stay, the treatment is different from the previous detention.
There are those who have too many sins to keep.
Pande, this guy, has been beaten to the point of being inhuman, and now his guilt has been clearly explained. Forcing the widow to death, that young girl, etc., a series of crimes can be described as too numerous to mention. Since they are all locals, it is relatively easy to verify these charges, and Cui Sangou has been doing this recently.
"Now that it's verified, Cui Sangou, Cui Sigou and you have an enmity with him, I'll hand them over to you, you clean up, don't let people find out." Zhao Yun thinks it's better for this kind of person to be handed over to those victims, if he does it himself, then forget it! I haven't even killed a chicken before, so I'll open this meat!
"Got it, young master!" Zhao Yun had scruples and was afraid that he wouldn't be able to eat, but there were still a few people in the Cui family who were captured but also had an enmity with Pan De, and they would not be polite.
I hurriedly took Pande with him, and it took him six hours to come back. That's six hours! Zhao Yun's eyes have changed when he looks at this group of people now.
got rid of one, and the rest of the people, including Shao and Cui, a total of fifty-five people, Zhao Yun directly divided them into three groups.
Cui, Shao, and Fat Man each led a group, because the three of them were originally small leaders in the militia group, so they didn't have much opinion.
At present, Zhao Yun doesn't know much about Shao and Cui, especially Cui, who has been a slave for decades
The servant life made him have an instinctive obedience to Pan Datou, in line with the use of people without suspicion, and suspicion without suspicion, Zhao Yun had never let Cui lead the team, but now that Pan De has been destroyed, it is impossible for Cui to go back to Pan's house, which made Zhao Yun put his mind at ease and let Cui Sangou take his men and horses to help collect food in the farmland. With Cui's leadership, these people didn't make any trouble.
Shao Lao Er organized ten more clever ones to cover Zhao Yun when he entered the city.
That fat man is still so fat, but he has been locked up for a few days, and he hasn't seen the sun, and his whole person is a little miserable. This time, three people were also assigned to take care of everyone's diet.
After dividing the team, Zhao Yun still has one more important thing to do, that is, hygiene.
Zhao Yunyi is not a doctor, and the second is not a nurse, so his knowledge of some health is also at the elementary and junior high school levels. The captives had been kept in caves with little air circulation, and had not bathed for many days on a hot July day.
Zhao Yun is ready to be in place this time, and he is not afraid of any taboos.
The sword and shield men came out and shaved all the hair of these people, these guys had lice in their hair, and if they were cleaned up little by little, it would not be a lot of effort.
Then a large number of sentries were sent to guard a stream in the mountains, and all the clothes of the group were removed, and they were rushed to the stream to bathe, and everyone was not allowed to go ashore until half an hour without washing.
The mountain stream is so cool! Fortunately, it's summer in July, so you won't catch a cold even if you're naked.
After going ashore, he changed into the red militia cloth produced in the camp, and as soon as he changed his clothes, the momentum was immediately different, and he was brand new.
As for their old clothes, Zhao Yun directly asked the fat man to make a big pot, and boiled a piece, boiling water can sterilize, this common sense is still there.
When the drying is finished, they will be returned to them, if they and Zhao Yun mix into the city, these clothes can still be worn!
As for the food, now that their identities have changed, Zhao Yun can't be like before, not to mention the meat, and they have enough, and they eat all kinds of oil.
