"Big brother, the third child's method is good, you look at his fifty knife hands, his spirit has changed in just a few days, and his vision is like the coyotes in the mountains, and their food consumption in the past few days has increased by half compared to before, so that these people can become good hands."

Ding Baojun has been following Yang Meng, and he has also seen it in his eyes, this is going around Wuzhuang, which is really good.

"Okay? Since it is good, you will follow the method of the third child, train other knife hands, buy fertile land in the surrounding area, and be the same as the third child, envelop these knife hands, go around the Zhuangzi, eat and manage the full, and practice with leather knives, the third child is to take back all the things that God owes him. ”

Yang Shiqin also understands the benefits of Yang Meng's doing this, the more powerful the Yang family's knife hand, the more stable the Yang family is, why Yang Meng is training with great fanfare, it is for Lao Tzu to see.

"Big brother, the matter of the opium horse team has been settled, and all I am looking for are scattered to do this business, related to the court officials, I haven't provoked any of them, you see......"

Regarding Yang Meng's desire to rob opium, Ding Baojun also found a target for him, whether this matter can be done depends on Yang Shiqin's meaning.

"These people should be killed too, remember! Don't touch the horse team associated with the government, if you cut off people's money, people will not let us go, as for those retail investors who want to make a windfall, how many let the third child rob as much as he wants, selling opium is all a lack of morality, and no matter how much you kill, it is also a merit. ”

Yang Shiqin drooped his eyelids and said cruel words, opium is not a thing, it is not a person who harms opium, the family that smokes opium is ruined, the smaller the household, the greater the harm of opium.

Yiliang Zhou Shiqing, why do you want to be a human trafficker, one is because of the big profits, and the other is those who have no money to smoke big cigarettes, and they start to sell their children, daughters and mothers-in-law, in Yang Shiqin's eyes, those who do opium trading should be destroyed.

"I know, what about the people of the horse gang?"

"Horse gang? Do they do good business, do they help people transport opium, or are they horse gangs? The third child can do whatever he wants, there are many people in the Qing Dynasty, and they are not bad beasts! ”

Ding Baojun got an order from Yang Shiqin, turned around and went to Yang Meng's courtyard, and told the opium horse team he found one by one.

"Aren't these caravans related to the government? And these opium caravans, do they have anything to do with the government? All the related ones are eliminated, and now we are not the opponents of the imperial court, and we can't move them, but these horse gangs and merchants must be written down one by one, and when we have the strength, we will liquidate them together. ”

Yang Meng was also very cautious when he did things for the first time, the court was powerful, he was just starting out, and he would not confront the officials of the court, opium was very profitable, and it was impossible to have no officials to participate in it.

"Third master, don't worry, these are some retail businessmen, and they have no contact with the government, when are you going to do it?"

Ding Baojun also admires Yang Meng, this cunning is about to catch up with the old man.

"Find a way to go, let's ambush there, come and grab a team, prepare tools to dig a pit, and the dead will be buried directly."

Tracking the horse gang, Yang Meng didn't want to bother with that effort, he found a way to ambush down, and came to kill a team, which was a shortcut to get rich.

The location Ding Baojun quickly found it, and at the turn of a mountain road, as long as he disguised himself as a horse gang, he could naturally easily approach them.

"Let the kitchen prepare ten days and a half of dry food, and let's leave tomorrow morning."

Yang Meng's drug factory, just waiting for the raw materials to be cooked, whether you can make money depends on how the market is, the sooner you do it, the more money you make, and time is gold and silver!

The next day, Yang Meng's 51 swordsmen, Ma Qinghu, Tang Meiyi, and more than 100 people led by Ding Baojun embarked on the journey early.

"Listen up, this time it's about melee, don't use the saber, use the dagger that Lao Tzu gave you, remember not to keep a live mouth."

Yang Meng's more than 50 people, all dressed in military boots and uniforms designed by him, riding on a horse naturally have a fierce spirit, the other swordsmen of the Yang family saw it, and they were also envious.

This more than 100 people have horses, only Yang Meng is a step general, this is out of the Lu to rob not to play, the board car naturally can't sit, don't go to him and don't worry, in case something goes wrong, it will affect the prestige of the old man.

Helplessly, he could only follow the horse team to eat ashes, but fortunately, the original Yang Meng, who was born in the mountains and forests all the year round, was not much worse than the Yunnan horse. This horse team is also different from what I imagined, there is no flying horse galloping, but it is slowly hurrying, and the other horse gangs are the same, almost no horses are galloping.

The horse team walked for a day and a night, and did nothing but eat and rest the horses, and spent all their time walking.

This mountain road is a hidden path, there is no official checkpoint, this is also the only way to smuggle all kinds of goods to the north of Kunming, at dawn, Yang Meng and they met the first wave of horses.

This is one of the target horse teams, because Yang Meng is in an open place, and this horse team, on the mountain road, according to the rules, Yang Meng They need to wait, and they should be on guard with knives, which creates conditions for Yang Meng to ambush them.

The team of horses that came was not very large, only about fifty people, about twenty gangsters, and two dozen guards with knives, and they were also on guard.

Yang Meng's horse team had a large number of people, and it happened to sandwich the mountain road in the middle, and the two horse teams greeted each other, and they slowly prepared to pass.

For the appearance of Yang Meng's horse team, they have no doubts, although this road is hidden, there are a lot of roads, in order to make more money, many people are also willing to take this mountain road.

"Kill!"

When the horse team was surrounded, Yang Meng took the lead and stabbed the three guards beside him one after another, and the other knife men also rushed forward, but in ten minutes, the horse team of more than 50 people died only horses and goods.

"Bury the corpse!"

I didn't have time to care about the rest, I buried the body first, and I survived all the time, and the traces of the ambush were also cleaned up.

"Uncle Ding, let your people take the horse team back to Wuzhuang, let's continue to wait."

Yang Meng checked the casualties, all of them were his people, the training effect in the past few days was good, none of them died, but they were injured five or six, most of the injuries were not serious, the most serious one was kicked by the horse and broke his leg, and the others were all flesh wounds.

The one with the broken leg was sent away with the horse team, and Yang Meng and the others also turned around and came to the distance to ambush, waiting for the arrival of the second horse team.

In the evening, a horse team of nearly 200 people arrived, which was nearly double the number of Ding Baojun's reconnaissance.

"Third master, what should I do? This is two horse teams together, there are many of them, let's let go! ”

Yang Meng also calculated in his heart that if he attacked this horse team, there would definitely be casualties on his side, but in order to start work quickly, he couldn't take care of so much. Besides, if you want to really become a good hand, you can't do less errands like less, since you eat this bowl of rice, you have to fight hard.

"It's done! It's the same as just now, close combat, this time let the brothers, bring long knives, this is a hard battle, if you don't get it right, you will lose your life, give me some care. ”

Yang Meng decided, this time it was still more than 50 people under his own hands, it was really not possible for Ding Baojun to go up again, most of the knife hands brought by Ding Baojun were hired, unlike Yang Meng's subordinates, who were already half of the Yang family.

Unexpectedly, the horse team on the opposite side also planned to eat black, and when the two horse teams passed by, both sides launched a surprise attack at the same time.

Yang Meng's manpower is strong in the knife and ruthless, that group of people has an advantage in numbers, more than 50 knife hands, against more than 100 knife hands, Yang Meng's side has not fallen behind at all.

The two daggers in Yang Meng's hand, fifteen or sixteen were killed in this battle, and Tang Meiyi, who was following him, also had a small gain, the knife hand was solved, and the remaining horse gang was better solved, and the horse gang of seventy or eighty people, Yang Meng handed it over to Ding Baojun's manpower.

Now almost all people have their lives on their hands, and it's impossible to go back and think about it, killing people pays for their lives, no one will not understand, it's best to rot in the stomach.

Burying people and cleaning the battlefield, Yang Meng's people died twelve times, four were seriously injured, and almost everyone else was injured, fifty to one hundred, and sixteen people were killed and wounded, which can be regarded as a complete victory.

The dying knife hand, disguised and pretended to be on the horse, the group took advantage of the night and hurried to Wuzhuang, fortunately, on this mountain road, the Yang family's manpower is more familiar, otherwise it will be dangerous to rush the mountain road at night. After resting for a day, everyone rushed back to Wuzhuang at dawn the next day.

Two more seriously injured died on the road, and the other two were also considered invalid, the dead one was given a pension of two hundred eagle oceans, the crippled one hundred and fifteen, and everyone who participated in the robbery was given fifty dollars, and the aftermath alone cost nearly twenty thousand eagle oceans.

Ding Baojun went to estimate the goods, but Yang Meng was inspecting the corpses, most of the injuries were in the chest and abdomen, only one was stabbed in the neck, and all the others were stabbed to death.

It seems that you should give your own knife hand, with a cuirass, if you have this thing, at least more than ten people can die less, the opponent's knife, most of them are not very sharp, as long as you can prevent a stabbing knife, your own manpower, will not lose so much.

It took a day to bereave, bury, and clean up the goods. The harvest this time was good, a total of 50 quintals of high-grade cloud soil were grabbed, a total of 5,000 catties, and according to the market price, a load of high-grade cloud soil was worth about 500 taels, a total of 25,000 taels.

Medium cloud soil, 70 quintals, a total of 7,000 catties, worth 21,000 taels, and 5 quintals of the best Indian tobacco paste, worth 15,000 taels.

In addition, there were 30,000 taels of silver ingots, more than 8,000 pieces of Yingyang, 1,000 taels of gold and silver, 270 Yunnan horses, 200 sabers and waist knives, three new-style foreign guns, and a number of bullets and gunpowder.

The best harvest is three new foreign guns, this is not the Qing Dynasty's bird guns, lifting guns, but foreign guns used by foreign devils, fortunately, these are goods, otherwise Yang Meng's casualties will increase.

Yang Meng didn't have time to deal with these things, so he still had to appease his swordsmen now, don't let them be demoralized because of the death, which will affect the next action.

The result surprised him, these subordinates of his own were surprisingly excited, and one of his brothers died, and he didn't show much sadness, this result made Yang Meng both happy and a little weird.

"Wei Huozi, come here."

As the leader of the swordsmen who took the lead in the fight, Wei Huozi got two hundred eagles, and after making a lot of money, he came to Yang Meng with a red face.

"Third Master, what are your orders? After this time, Wei Huozi's life is yours. ”

"Wei Huozi, you are not afraid of killing so many people this time, and that man of the Yi family, didn't he die his brother? Why not a trace of sadness? ”

These people under their own hands, the Yi nationality has the most men, and most of the others are Zhuang, these people are either from the same village, or they know each other, and they should not be like this.

"Third master, you don't know our suffering, most of these people can't survive before they come out to be swordsmen, if one person dies, the whole family can live a good life, this is much stronger than the whole family starving to death, why should we be sad for Lu? We don't die, it's our younger brothers and sisters who starve to death, or our parents, we die so that they can live a good life, not in vain! In fact, we should be most grateful to the third master, if you didn't take us, how could there be a good life for the family. ”

Hearing this, Yang Meng couldn't be happy, what kind of court is this Qing Dynasty, which can make these mountain people laugh at death, how miserable these mountain people used to be, for the sake of a mere hundred and ten cold silver dollars, even their own lives were not spared.

"Alas...... What a world! ”
