When it comes to the topic, Zhao Yuqing said with a stern face: "My lord, we will go out of Mianzhou, detour to Chengdu, and then enter Kangding, and then take Lhasa, if you find a good buyer in Lhasa, you will trade in Lhasa, if you can't find a good buyer, continue to go west, arrive at Gyantse, turn to Yadong, and finally dispose of the tea in Yadong, this time there are 300 horses with the goods, and the tea goods reach 60,000 catties, plus grooms, guards, etc., the team is very large, Zhao wants to ask your lord, we are moving forward in a team, Or do you spread people up and split them into queues so that they don't attract attention? ”

Zhao Yuqing estimated that the horses used this time were about more than 500, in addition to carrying goods, it was also necessary to transport a certain amount of grain and grass supplies, and besides, people like Qinwei, 6 Haoshan and others naturally would not walk, so that the horses needed would almost double, and the horsemen and guards would have to be three hundred, so that the scale of the relatively ordinary caravan was several times larger, and it was impossible not to attract attention, the target was too large, if the proper procedures were OK, but their own line was ready to smuggle tea.

Rao is old man Zhao has seen a lot of winds and waves, but he is still made small, it's not that he hasn't sold so many tea goods, the problem is that he hasn't gone through such a large amount of private tea, and the young people now are really bold.

6 Haoshan frowned and said, "Why is it from Mianzhou, not from Jiangyou?" ”

"My lord, after the tea is collected, it needs to be pressed into tea bricks, we are now pressed with water power, the workshop is mostly located at the water's edge, this time after receiving the tea, directly down the Fujiang River, arrived in Mianzhou, suppressed in Mianzhou, such benefits have two, one is close to the waterway, the transportation cost is small, from Mianzhou. We shorten the distance, and the second is that we have a familiar workshop for pressing tea bricks in Mianzhou, so that we can do it without knowing it. ”

It turned out to be like this, but I didn't expect Zhao Yuqing to think about it so carefully, and after thinking about it for a while, 6 Haoshan said categorically: "Let's go in a team, so that there will be some care on the road." ”

There is only one tea introduction, and there is only one person, and there is no skill in the doppelganger, and the people are scattered. It is difficult to deal with robbers on the road, it is better to unite the soldiers and make it to a place, and then 6 Haoshan has a secret weapon in addition to the fake and real tea.

Zhao Yuqing nodded and said, "Zhao also plans to do the same, since we have the same opinion, then let's decide so." ”

After determining the way of transportation, Zhao Yuqing breathed a sigh of relief and picked up a tea bowl to drink tea. On the side, he gave the elder Zhao Neng on the side a look, and Zhao Neng immediately understood, saluted to 6 Haoshan and said, "My lord, this trip is a transaction." The road is far away, and there are many hardships and dangers, I don't know if the newly trained pickets under your command can be reused? And the long walk. Those teenagers who are only in their teens can afford it. ”

6 Haoshan was not in a hurry to respond to his question, but asked, "There are many difficulties. Elder Zhao, I don't know what the dangers are? ”

"In fact, there are three aspects" Zhao Neng said unhurriedly: "One is the inspection and embarrassment of the government, the second is the bandits along the way, and the third is the supply along the way, but in this regard, our Zhao family has already made thorough preparations, mainly the first two hardships to overcome, especially the second item, not only the bandits, but also the same caravan also has a black and black thing, which requires the guards to be tough, generally speaking, in Sichuan, the biggest trouble is the road from Yazhou to Kangding, which is the only way to trade tea and horses, and the guards along the wayThere are many tea and horse divisions, and from time to time there are officials from the tea inspection institute, who need to deal with their difficulties. ”

"Out of Sichuan, go to Kham, the original hometown of Tibet, now changed to Wusi Zangyi Comfort Division, here is sparsely populated, there are many tribes, there are few bandits infested, of course, there are few tribesmen pretending, tea is very important to them, do everything possible to get benefits, this we have to be vigilant, of course, they will not be large-scale, because where the Ming set up a lot of guards, recruiting divisions, there are big movements, they will not stand by, no matter what, the work of the guard is very important."

It's no wonder they questioned, indeed, the pickets are too tender, not only are most of the members young, but the training time is also short, from the recruitment to the present, it has only been two months of training, only two months, can the pickets form combat effectiveness? Besides, this line of work, not to mention thousands of miles away, those young men need to walk in many places, will they not reach their destination by then, these little guys can't bear hardship, and they scatter as deserters, right?

This is something that the Zhao family is more worried about, and this is also one of the purposes for them to find 6 Haoshan to come to discuss, Zhao Yuqing is not easy to speak, so let Zhao Neng speak.

6 Haoshan smiled and said: "Don't worry, the picket team is relatively young, but it is by no means as weak as you think, so let's do it, anyway, we also have to discuss matters related to the guards, after eating, please ask the old patriarch Zhao to accompany 6 to the camp to check whether it is trustworthy, and it will be clear at a glance, I don't know what the old patriarch Zhao thinks?" ”

"The adult actually opened his mouth, Zhao dared to disobey his fate, so he should be the chief to see it once." Zhao Yuqing didn't shirk, and immediately agreed, to be honest, the picket team has been training in Niutou Mountain for two months, but outsiders know very little about it, mainly because 6 Haoshan ordered to block that area, if nothing happened, the Zhao family would not deliberately pick the bottom line of 6 Haoshan, so they didn't know anything about the training of the picket.

"If you are a qiē shun lì, when is Old Patriarch Zhao going to set off?"

"I asked an acquaintance Taoist who said that the eighth day of the sixth month is an auspicious day."

6 Haoshan also had no opinion, nodded and said, "Okay, that's it." ”

At the table, some precautions on the road were discussed, and sometimes discussions, so that the meal was not declared over for nearly an hour.

After eating, just resting for a while, 6 Haoshan took Zhao Yuqing and ran straight to the barracks located in Niutou Mountain.

"Bang, bang, bang"

Before arriving at the camp, Zhao Yuqing was startled by the sound of the musket shooting down, but seeing 6 Haoshan's calm face, Zhao Yuqing still forcibly held back his curiosity and followed 6 Haoshan into the camp.

I didn't expect the small pickets to have muskets.

As soon as he entered the camp, the sound of the musket was still in his ears, Zhao Yuqing immediately followed the sound and looked at it, only to see that near the camp gate, there were more than ten targets on the side of the mountain, and more than ten teenagers were waving under the two instructor-like people, practicing firearms, and seeing clearly, the firearms used were still relatively precious birds, not to mention more than ten shots, which was amazing, and could form a musket squad, but to Zhao Yuqing's surprise, things were still behind, which made him feel more surprised than the pickets had musket squads, and those targets were not fixed, with a rope on hand, swaying from side to side, increasing the difficulty of its hit.

Another round of gunshots, Zhao Qing saw that the row of hanging wooden targets shook violently, obviously being hit, nearly a hundred steps apart, this marksmanship was not bad.

Sighing, seeing 6 Haoshan continue to move forward, Zhao Yuqing did not dare to slack off, speed up the pace to catch up from behind, along the way, Zhao Yuqing saw a lot of interesting scenes: someone practiced archery, a sharp arrow accurately shot down the target, dozens of pounds of stone locks were lifted lightly, someone ran on the school field roaring, as if in a game, and some people stood straight, motionless, like a wooden man, Zhao Yuqing had doubts in his heart, couldn't help but take two steps faster, and said after following 6 Haoshan:

"My lord, what's so weird about this camp, everyone seems to be practicing their own, and no one is unified in scheduling, what's going on?"

In addition to the guidance of the musket team with instructors, although these people are not supervised by the commander, they are very serious, and they have not stopped sweating, but their mental outlook is very good, no one complains of hardship, no one shouts tiredness, and they train extremely hard, which is too strange.

6 Haoshan smiled and said: "This is the rule I have set up, concentrate on training in the morning, and train on your own in the afternoon, but the musket has just been obtained, and someone needs to teach them how to use it." ”

It turned out that this was the case, when Zhao Yuqing just wanted to ask why these little guys were so conscious, 6 Haoshan suddenly stepped up and walked forward, and suddenly there was a lot of noise in front.

"Captain, bring him down."

"Good captain, take down the three teams."

"Xiong Da, pick him up and throw him out."

"Team 5 is the best, captain, I support you, come on."

It sounded like it was a martial arts competition, and when he saw where 6 Haoshan was going, Zhao Yuqing's heart moved, and he hurriedly followed, and soon, Zhao Yuqing walked to the side of 6 Haoshan, looked inside, and saw a thin and tall boy confronting a tall man with a tiger's back and a dragon's waist, it seemed that he was going to compete in martial arts, thanks to the blessing of 6 Haoshan, as soon as those team members saw the captain coming, they said hello and exited the position to their captain, so that Zhao Yuqing, who was following 6 Haoshan, could also clearly see inside.

The two team members, who are thin and strong, only have each other in their eyes, they have been fighting for a while, and they are still observing each other, that is, the captain 6 Haoshan is coming, neither of them is aware of it, the most surprising thing for Zhao Yuqing is that the thin man is holding two scimitars wrapped in cloth, and the stout man is also holding a hammer with many layers of cloth in his hand, it is obvious that these two people are using real guys, but in order not to hurt the opponent, the weapons have been treated.

This can be a wooden knife to a wooden hammer much more serious.
