"Alas, the soldiers are like a sieve, sure enough!

Let's kill them.

There's no need to be merciful, let's talk about the next plan when we kill them. ”

Zhang Dou sighed, then took out the crossbow from the back of the ox that had never been used before, and began to shoot at the arrogant and knife-wielding soldiers.

At the same time, Alxa, and even Zhang Hui, the only girl among them, all took out the repeater crossbows in their hands and began to shoot towards the surrounding soldiers, the power of the repeater crossbow is needless to say, not to mention that they still have twelve repeaters in their hands, even if one or two of them miss occasionally, most of them can still be shot.

So in a short time, most of the soldiers who had besieged them before were quickly killed and wounded.

The soldier in the lead was shot in the forehead by Zhang Dou's first arrow and died on the spot.

In the end, there were only two, because they stood at the back, they didn't make a move, and they may have been relatively timid, so they turned around and fled on horseback as soon as the leader died, and survived.

Zhang Dou and they were too lazy to chase it, and they couldn't catch up even if they rode a cow, so they had to give up.

"Forget those two.

I originally thought that what my grandmother said was a bit exaggerated, but now it seems that my grandmother's words are even reserved, just looking at the behavior of these soldiers.

The ruler here is not worth following.

You say, let's go east or south and see if there are any dragons.

Then help him calm the world.

Or do you want to gather some mountain bandits here, settle down your hometown first, and be the master of your own house? ”

Although Qiao Mu nominally let them come out to start a family and start a business, Zhang Dou actually knows very well that in this troubled era, isn't it to either follow the Ming Lord or become a warlord?

So, he just asked.

Ask what others think.

"Big brother, I'll choose the latter one, the northwest is our hometown anyway, and we can't let our hometown continue to be so dilapidated.

What's more, I estimate that even if the east and south are a little better, it will only change from fishing to harvesting on time, and it has been ten years now, and the power groups there are estimated to have stabilized a long time ago, and it is difficult for us to enter the decision-making center even if we defect in the past, so it is better to start again.

What about you? What do you guys think? ”

Although Alxa is not a local, he has lived here for many years, and he has long regarded this as his second hometown, so he is naturally willing to choose the second plan that Zhang Dou said.

It's a little more difficult to be the master of your own house and set up another stove, but it's better than going to someone else.

At least you don't have to send someone under the fence.

Look at other people's faces.

And they can implement their ideas and policies logically, without convincing others.

Zhang Yun Zhang Shi and Zhang Hui have long been accustomed to listening to the words of the two big brothers, and they have lived with each other for more than ten years, how could they not know Zhang Dou's true thoughts, so they all nodded without hesitation and expressed their agreement.

"In this case, let's first recover the bandits and bandits near our hometown, seize the time to resume regional production as soon as possible, and then, as grandma said, accumulate grain and become king slowly.

Start with the king of the mountain and take your time. ”

Zhang Dou saw that everyone agreed, and immediately began to talk about the next step, planning to start small, starting with growing food, in this vast and troubled world, food is the real hard currency.

As long as there is enough food and they are not ostentatious in the early stage, then they can definitely pull up an army quickly, and as long as the food is sufficient enough, the quality of the army will naturally improve quickly.

Therefore, farming and grain accumulation is the top priority.

"Okay, let's go back now, go back and beat down all the mountain bandits and bandits who robbed us before, and then all of them will be collected."

"Eh, don't worry.

Don't we have horses and knives here, so it's not too late for us to put these things away first. ”

After two or three sentences of discussion, the five of them quickly got down from the oxen and began to collect the corpses, and after collecting the corpses, they also found a lot of firewood and burned all the corpses of the soldiers, so that they would not rot in their place and breed a plague again.

Wait until all these things are done.

The burnt was mixed with ashes and buried.

Then they sat back on the back of the oxen, drove the horses, and walked slowly and leisurely back to the places where they had been robbed before, and began to pack up one by one, and gather men.

I worked so hard for more than half a month.

They finally set up a cottage on the largest mountain nearby, and at the same time took those mountain bandits who were subdued by them, as well as those who were not convinced, and whose legs were discounted, and who were reconnected, and officially started farming.

In fact, those nearby mountain bandits were originally ordinary villagers, but because life was really unbearable, planting something in the field was not enough to be robbed by those rebels, so they became bandits, and they only occasionally came down to rob, most of the time they still lived in the mountains to continue farming, although the land in the mountains was barren, but it was so remote, there was no need to worry about those rebels running up to rob them of the food they planted.

Therefore, after they found out that Zhang Dou subdued them, they still let them farm, and even taught them to farm, and sent them some grain seeds that were very full and could have a good harvest when they looked at them, how could they resist, these people all obeyed and followed them to open mountains and farm in the mountains, and at the same time organized a self-defense team to go to the foot of the mountain to farm, anyway, they were farming everywhere.

As their reputation for cottage farming gradually spread, the surrounding people were forced to become bandits, or they were still hiding everywhere, sneaking around to plant a piece here, and a piece of mountain people there.

You don't even have to fight.

They themselves sent it to the door.

After the news of the first batch of potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn and other crops yielding 1,000 catties per mu, or even nearly 10,000 catties, secretly spread to some cottages within a radius of hundreds of miles nearby under the operation of Zhang Dou, there were many cottage owners with the whole village and rushed over to want to attach.

At the same time, I also want to ask for some food.

Of course, there are those who want to join them and pray for food, and of course there are those who want to rob, but Zhang Dou and their farming have not forgotten to train their young and strong men, so those who want to rob are destined to become the chickens that kill chickens and make an example of monkeys.

With those people as a lesson from the past.

Zhang Dou's so-called win-win cooperation, and the proposal to unite with everyone to farm together, find a way to train and organize young people, and resist those chaotic armies, was soon agreed by the nearby village chiefs who were nominally cottage owners, but in fact the village chiefs in the original village, so the most primitive rural collective planting cooperation base was established.

A spark that burns the prairie fire.

Also ignited at this moment.
