The caravan stayed at a secluded inn near the southern district of Jincheng, and although the group was armed with weapons, the shopkeeper was not surprised.

After all, the caravans that come and go in Jincheng will hire a large number of guards to protect their goods. After all, although it is safe here in Jincheng, it is not like that outside Jincheng.

The small forces of the Houjin Liu, as well as the horse thieves of the Mongols, or the bandit gangs of the Ming Dynasty, all roamed within dozens of miles of Jincheng.

These people did not dare to enter the range of fifty miles, but they were frequent frequents from fifty miles away.

So, if you don't have guards and weapons, you won't be able to sell them even if you buy them here in Jincheng. Therefore, a large number of dart masters carrying weapons have also become a landscape in Jincheng.

For example, this strange team that came to save the girl, everyone carried weapons, and the residents of Jincheng were no longer surprised.

The shopkeeper quickly arranged the room, and arranged their carriage to be taken care of in the shop's own yard, and everything was properly arranged.

Because of the hurry, the more than 100 people who slept in the open did not have much rest, and they were also hungry.

Now I can finally take a good rest, so I have to eat a good meal anyway.

Therefore, the big boss instructed the shopkeeper to get a few tables of banquets for more than 100 people, and the wine and meat were enough to make a lot of money.

After speaking, the chief took out a money bag from his bosom and threw it on the greasy tabletop, listening to the sound of the money bag falling on the table, but it contained a lot of silver.

Of course, the store was very happy about this, and was very happy to answer and then prepared to go.

His small hotel is located in the middle of nowhere, and it is not very good for that kind of business. With so many guests coming here today, it can be seen that he can make a lot of money.

This man eats and chews horses, and as long as he lives for a few days, it is enough for him to earn a lot of silver.

And seeing that these people seem to be quite generous, there is no reason for the store to be unhappy.

The owner of the shop in the back kitchen and his mother-in-law were busy. Even the two of them, that is, there are two other little maids.

In the front, it was his son entertaining the caravan.

It can be seen that this small hotel is also a family business.

The one-eyed middle-aged man looked around, and he was still very satisfied with the choice of this hotel as a foothold.

First of all, it's not a place close to a busy street, so it won't be crowded with people. And it's very secluded, so it won't cause them a lot of trouble.

You must know that their identities cannot be exposed, because they are all people from the Northwest Rebel Army.

Moreover. This time, in addition to coming to save the girl, the big leader had more important things to do. That is, from the Jincheng Song people to see if they can buy some food, together with the weapons and equipment that the rebel army lacks.

The righteous army composed of hungry people has a very good record in attacking cities and plundering counties during this period, and has conquered more than a dozen county towns in the northwest, so it can be regarded as having some spare money in hand.

However, there were countless droughts in the northwest, and even if they broke through the county seat, they could not find enough food to maintain the livelihood of the rebels.

Food is very important to many people. If there is no food, then the rebel army will collapse.

There is no need to wait for the imperial court to exterminate them, they will perish on their own because of the food.

In order to avoid such a thing, the leaders of the rebels decided. They gathered all the money they had looted, and plundered as much as possible the wealth of the wealthy families under their control, and then used it to buy enough food from the outside to support their fighting, as well as weapons and equipment that the rebels lacked.

Although the situation on the side of the rebels was good during this time. But as the leaders of the rebel army at the top, they all know very well that the reason why they can fight so easily now is mainly because the local garrison of the Northwest Imperial Court is rotten. I can't stand the beating at all.

Moreover, the outbreak of the rebel army was very sudden, and it could be regarded as a surprise to all parts of the northwest.

Moreover, the fighting style of the rebels is similar to that of horse thieves, and if it is unfavorable to attack the county seat and villages and towns, they will immediately turn elsewhere, and they will definitely not fall in love with war.

Therefore, the Ming troops in the northwest of the Ming Dynasty who were sent out to conquer the righteous army were often confused and could not find a target at all.

Many times, they went to the place where they called for help, but they did not see the shadow of the rebels at all. Instead, they will receive news that the rebels have attacked other places.

And in this process, the rebel army can also set up ambushes from time to time to annihilate a large number of the living forces of the Ming army.

In addition, the Ming army sent was all rotten northwest garrison troops, so the rebel army could have the brilliant results of this period of time.

However, the rebel army has now become stronger, and it will definitely attract the attention of the Ming court.

Then at this time, the Ming court will definitely send elite troops into the northwest to deal with them. And will also select qualified generals to command that elite force.

In this way, the rebels will not have to deal with the weak Ming army and brain-dead generals.

Therefore, the rebel side also had to seize the time to strengthen its strength and prepare for the next war.

Grain! Weapons!

This is what the rebels lacked, but because they conquered more than a dozen county seats, dozens of villages and towns, and killed countless local rich landlords and gentry, the rebels were not short of money.

At this time, money is nothing to the rebels.

Only food and weapons are the most important.

If there is no food and weapons, once the rebels are defeated, then there is no need for others to say what awaits them, and they know what it is.

Therefore, in order to avoid such a thing, the team of the one-eyed man came to Jincheng.

As for the one-eyed middle-aged man who wanted to save his daughter, it was just a coincidence that let him know.

For this trip to Jincheng, the one-eyed man still has no bottom in his heart.

Although the big boss above had instructed him not to be stingy with his goods, he could agree to whatever the other party offered, as long as he could buy back food and weapons.

As long as the rebels can survive, then there will always be money in the future.

However, the one-middle-aged people felt that the Song people here in Jincheng might not necessarily deal with them. In case the Song people sold them here, they were handed over to the people of the imperial court. That's not going to be easy.

Therefore, this matter must be cautious and cautious to approach temptation.

However, I have heard from some businessmen that the Song people are actually very easy to deal with. As long as you can come up with real money, then you can do business with them.

Except for the Houjin, they will not do business with them, what Mongolians, Koreans, Mings. They don't care. What really makes the Song people care is that you have money or not.

Where the one-eyed man sat and pondered quietly for a while.

Seriously, he was not short of money, and this time he brought more than thirty wagons. It was filled with treasure looted by the rebels.

At least, these treasures are worth hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.

Of course, that was normal times, but in this year of severe drought and the rebels wanted to sell grain, these goods might not be worth the price.

Now we have to consider how far the Song people will be pressed if they can do business with them.

Fifth?

Or a tenth?

Alas, the shape shì is not by people. Even a tenth of it has to be accepted.

In fact, the leaders and leaders of the high-level of the rebel army already have plans.

In their bottom line, even a one-twentieth price cut. They will accept it, too.

Who let the northwest really have no food at all, and the rebel army is about to collapse.

As long as there is food, even if the price of these goods is reduced to the extreme, they will gladly accept it.

Let's hope not.

The one-eyed man came back to his senses from his contemplation. Then he asked the cronies sitting beside him: "Arrange for people to watch the carriage, that is an important thing, and you can't afford to miss it." ”

The cronies naturally nodded in response: "It has been arranged a long time ago." I sent Chen Daozi to bring five people to watch, and there will be no problem. ”

The one-eyed middle-aged man nodded, and as soon as he heard that Chen Daozi was arranged to guard it, there would be no problem.

For this subordinate, he is still very relieved.

"Chief, I'm going to send someone to inquire about the whereabouts of Miss?"

As a close confidant, of course he knows why his eldest brother wants to fight for this opportunity to come to Jincheng.

The reason why he won the opportunity to come to Jincheng in front of the leaders was not to buy food for the rebels, but actually to save his daughter.

Buying food for the rebels is just a matter of taking it with you.

The one-eyed man thought about it and bowed his head.

"It's okay, pick a brother to inquire about the situation of Chunlai Building, and at the same time send someone to the City Lord's Mansion in Jincheng to test the temptation, and then we will pick an opportunity to contact the Song people."

Neither of these things can be taken lightly, and the one-eyed man decides that it is better to do it together.

Speaking of this one-eyed man, he was originally a local military household in the northwest, and he was very honest. But who would have thought that a natural disaster was encountered all of a sudden, coupled with the oppression of the hundreds of households above, so that this poor military household, who was already poor, had no way to live.

At that time, he fell ill in a hurry, but his family could not afford a little money to treat him. In the end, it was his wife who gritted her teeth and sold the only daughter in the family in exchange for some medicine for him.

In the end, he survived, but his wife committed suicide after selling her daughter.

The daughter is gone, the wife is dead, although the military family is alive, but looking at the situation of this family being ruined, everything is lost.

Therefore, at that time, in this situation, as soon as his condition improved, he killed the hundred households who oppressed him overnight, and then began to escape, and also became a horse thief, becoming the leader of a small group of horse thieves.

And, after the rebellion, he led hundreds of his horse thieves to join the rebels, because he had his own men, so he had a very good position.

Although it can't compare to the eight heavenly kings above or something, it is also an absolute high-level.

At the same time, this one-eyed man also has a surprising name...... Li Zicheng...... (To be continued......)
