Chapter 0037: Hiding in the Village
There are still more than ten miles of road from Fushun City to Fushun Pass, and in this distance, there is not only the Longwang Temple close to the Hunhe River, but also a number of villages and farmlands of all sizes. After flickering around the Macheng Tower, Zhou Qingfeng returned to a village located here. The people in this village are either surnamed Wang or Zhang, most of them are military households from Fushun Thousand Households, and they are born with hatred for those officials.
Zhou Qingfeng led the team to overturn Zhao Miaozhu of the Dragon King Temple, and he took away the silver coins and jewelry that were easy to carry, but there were too many things that could be looted in the entire Dragon King Temple. Just the more than three hundred taels of silver left by Zhou Qingfeng's big hand made the spearmen involved in the operation make a lot of money. Even the team members who were injured in the operation were rescued, and they were compensated with a high amount of thirty taels of silver.
The official master of Fushun retaliated afterwards, Dongchang and Jinyiwei also came to stir up trouble, and the people in other places could only flee with their homes and could not resist at all. But the fierce folk customs of Liaodong are not fake, and the people in the village immediately thought, 'It's all dead anyway, and then go to the big boss'.
With high returns and realistic persecution, a large number of people quickly gathered around Zhou Qingfeng. In a nutshell, it's called 'the human heart is available'. Therefore, after setting the goal of snatching weapons and armor, Zhou Qingfeng immediately used the village of Wang and Zhang's family as a stronghold. With this group of local snakes as an internal response, many things are much easier to do.
For example, there are more than 50 Mongolians in Hezhuo's group, and there are corresponding horses, and this person's work of eating horses and feeding them is not easy to place, let alone hidden. But with Zhou Qingfeng's village, He Zhuo directly led the team to climb over the side wall of Fushun Pass, sneaked into the pass and hid first.
What is the Liaodong Border Wall? It is the Great Wall of Liaodong. Don't think that all Great Walls are built in the same dangerous terrain as Badaling, in fact, many places of the Great Wall in Liaodong are located in gentle river valleys. These endless frontier fortifications consisted of side walls, forts, beacon towers, closing walls, etc., and countless manpower and material resources were spent on their construction.
However, these side walls made of earth and stone will collapse in a few decades without constant maintenance. The side walls around Fushun Pass are no more than six meters high, generally two or three meters high, and they are only one or two stories high. Over time, the stomping foot will crumble, the earth and stones will fall down, the wall will collapse into a slope, and the side wall will become a pile of rubble.
He Zhuo and the others easily crossed the wall and hid in the village to rest. Zhou Qingfeng asked his two small leaders to gather the whole village and take out the money to recruit people. He stood on a mound of earth, clapped his hands and gave a hundred taels of silver, and shouted to the villagers who surrounded him: "Invite the old and young masters today, I don't want you to fight and kill, I want you to do something else." ”
The last time they searched the Dragon King Temple, Wang Zhang and the two old farmers took people to catch a lot, and afterwards various rumors made the people in the village very red. This time, Zhou Qingfeng came to preside over the overall situation again, and some people were eager to try, and they couldn't wait to eat the good things of big families again. But Zhou Qingfeng didn't want them to fight and kill, and everyone asked in confusion: "Big boss, why don't we fight with others this time?" ”
"The Mongols are doing all the hard work, but your business is not easy at all." Zhou Qingfeng grabbed a wooden stick and relied on the memory in his mind to draw a topographic map of the vicinity of Fushun Pass on the ground, "We are going to rob a batch of goods detained by Li Yongfang, and let those Mongolians do the murder and robbery, but after they are snatched back, someone will have to transport the goods away."
Now I want 300 people, who can carry the burden and drive the car and are familiar with the mountain roads. As long as this batch of goods is transported from Fushun to Beiguan in Kaiyuan, there will be 1,000 taels of silver. Did you see the Jurchen girls over there? People have money in their hands, and they just need to make it boldly. ”
Hearing that there were 1,000 taels of silver to be earned, everyone's brains, including the two small leaders, were buzzing, and their faces flushed. Zhou Qingfeng also continued: "This matter is to run a road, I will add another hundred taels." At noon, go to eat a good meal first, have meat and vegetables, put more oil and salt, and those who are willing to come to work are full. ”
The one hundred taels of silver that Zhou Qingfeng photographed was still the deposit just paid by Ma Chengta, and the silver of the white flowers was taken out, and the two small leaders were okay to say, and many of the surrounding villagers took a few steps forward. After confirming that the big boss had found a big job that could earn 'one thousand taels', it was obvious that the villagers around him were all neck long, and their eyes were shining.
"It's easy." Uncle Wang, the little leader, hurriedly said: "Li Yongfang's goods should have ready-made horses and vehicles, and four or five people serve one car, how can it be enough." Even if it's not enough, recruit people again. If there is money, someone will come to eat food. ”
Zhou Qingfeng said with a smile again: "After the matter is completed, Li Yongfang's vehicles and horses will naturally belong to you." This is also a lot of money, which is cheaper for you. ”
As soon as he said this, the villagers who gathered around Zhou Qingfeng to listen to the news could no longer suppress the excitement in their hearts, and suddenly thundered with joy and laughter. There were at least dozens of carriages and horses for transporting goods, and a good horse alone cost twenty or thirty taels of silver in those days. As the saying goes, 'wealth moves people's hearts', for poor people who can't eat enough, they can earn so much by taking a little risk and running a trip, and they can fight for their lives.
Zhou Qingfeng took the opportunity to shout: "Come out and get a few old ladies who can do things, take the money to buy grain, meat and vegetables." One hundred taels of silver, enough for you to have a good time. There are more than a dozen or twenty people who can cook, and it is not difficult to kill chickens and fish, and they all have money to take. ”
As soon as the words fell, a few elderly women immediately squeezed out of the crowd, shouting that they wanted to give their lives to the big boss. Zhou Qingfeng didn't just let them take the money. First, they asked for their names and family history, asked other villagers if they had any opinions, and finally recorded their names, elected a commanding leader, and arranged the number of purchases.
After a few words, no one was convinced, and everything was in order.
Next is the selection of Mrs. Ma, who is driving the car, in a group of five, in a team of five, and in a company of five teams. Zhou Qingfeng only managed a few company commanders, and all the remaining powers were delegated. Let everyone understand who they are with and who they want to obey. The villagers around him soon formed a small team, and even their voices were a little smaller because of the establishment of the management system.
He Zhuo came back with Zhou Qingfeng, and first went to see the Mang Gurdai and the others who had been placed. When I looked at Zhou Qingfeng again, I saw that this guy who was only eight years old was standing at the height of the crowd and commanding hundreds of people. Just seeing that his words were simple and clear, and his orders were decisive and clear, He Zhuo was actually very shocked in his heart.
People who are not educated cannot understand the relationship between words and deeds.
It is even more impossible for a person without a mind to organize hundreds of people in a few simple sentences.
Zhou Qingfeng's ability is based on the fact that he has received a complete basic cultural education. Even if he has never had experience in organization and management in the past, he has never eaten pork and never seen a pig run'? You can also learn a lot by painting cats and tigers.
In He Zhuo's opinion, there are not many people in the entire Jurchen tribe who can have Zhou Qingfeng's talent. Even if there were, they were all high-level Baylor-level leaders in various tribes, and it was impossible to be an eight-year-old child. She couldn't help but think in her heart: "Maybe the biggest gain from my adventure to Fushun is not to transport back hundreds of pairs of armor, but to know the kid in front of me." ”
Zhou Qingfeng didn't know anything about He Zhuo, who was staring at him from the sidelines. After he finished ordering various tasks, Uncle Zhang, another small leader, frowned and whispered: "Big boss, I think there is still a trouble in this matter." ”
Seeing that the people around him were too happy and fanatical, Zhou Qingfeng was also worried that those details in the action would be ignored, and it was a good thing that some people raised questions. Uncle Zhang continued to whisper: "Now the wild boar skin is sending troops to block the Nanguan of Kaiyuan, and the road from outside the border wall is impassable. Then you can only go inside the side wall, from Fushun to Tieling and then to Kaiyuan. This road is a pass, and it is not easy to pass. ”
In ancient times, the transportation conditions were poor, and the trade and education, and the march and war had to be taken from fixed roads. Crossing mountains and mountains is definitely not a good option, especially if you have to catch a car to transport goods, which is definitely a big road. But there are guards along the road, and this is a problem.
"Can't afford to spend some money on a road?" Zhou Qingfeng said.
"We can still find a few people we know here in Fushun, but we are really not familiar with Tieling and Kaiyuan. rashly spend money to buy roads, and maybe someone will swallow it. Uncle Zhang said distressedly, "No one can figure out this for sure, it's too difficult." ”
Zhou Qingfeng thought about it for a while and found that there was no solution to this matter, so he went to discuss with Zhuo. He Zhuo said that Kaiyuan was next to Ye Hebu, and Ye Hebu could send someone to pick it up, and there was no problem with the pass over there. The rest is Tieling in the middle of the road, which no one is familiar with.
"No matter how much, let's get the job done. You can send someone to explore the road first, inquire about the road conditions and news. This journey takes two or three days, and you have to consider food, drink, and accommodation. Don't get off to a good start and end up halfway. Zhou Qingfeng did his work as meticulously as possible, and all kinds of situations were considered.
As for the problem of Tieling not being able to pass, Zhou Qingfeng thought that it would be a big deal to climb over the side wall again. Just as he was assessing the risk of the matter, another group of people from outside the village rushed to join him.
"Big boss, I'm Yang Wei, Yang Wei, the second village master of Hutou Mountain, the one who was tied up in the Dragon King Temple last time. I'm taking our whole cottage to your old man's house. "There were dozens of people outside the village, and the leader was a bearded man with a spear, who frightened the whole village.
Waiting to get closer, it was really the bandit leader who was caught in the Dragon King Temple last time. This guy praised Zhou Qingfeng fiercely in order to survive, which made Zhou Qingfeng overwhelmed later, so he could only dodge. Seeing this bearded face, Zhou Qingfeng couldn't help but ask left and right: "How does this guy know that I am here?" ”
"It's ......." Wang Zhang's two small leaders said: "We weren't sure if we could defect to the big boss yesterday, so we thought that if we couldn't do it, we would go to the grass." This Yang Zhai master is on the nearby mountain banner, we contacted him in the name of the big boss, who knew that he actually brought the whole cottage people here? ”
There are dozens of people in the whole cottage? They are all ......, old, sick and disabled refugees. Zhou Qingfeng saw that many people didn't even cover their bodies, and they were dirty and even worse than ghosts.
When Yang Wei saw Zhou Qingfeng, the owner of Yang Zhai hurriedly stepped forward and shouted: "The big boss is really doing this, please give me a chance, I must give a chance." As soon as the Dragon King Temple parted last time, the officials and soldiers targeted us and others, but they made us miserable. This is my brother Yang Bang, the top of Hutou Mountain. My two brothers are willing to attach the tail of the big boss and let it be driven. ”
There was a man who looked like a scholar beside Yang Wei, but when he saw Zhou Qingfeng, he was speechless for a while. He couldn't say all the compliments he had in mind, although he knew that the big boss was not old, but when he saw the real person, he still felt a lack of confidence, and he was even more reluctant to bow his head to a little kid easily.
Yang Wei saw that his brother didn't speak, and hurriedly said: "My brother has a stuttering problem, and the more he sees the big scene, the more speechless he becomes." But we really came to join, and there was no second heart. ”
Zhou Qingfeng glanced at the refugees who entered the village, and thought to himself, Lao Tzu still doesn't want you refugees. He only asked coldly, "Where are you from?" ”
"Hutou Mountain."
"In that direction, Hutou Mountain?"
"Over there in Tieling."
"Tieling? Are you familiar with the roads and officers and soldiers of Tieling? ”
"Of course it's familiar, our brother is a deserter over there, there is no road over there that we are not familiar with, otherwise we would have been suppressed by the official army a long time ago."
Yang Wei opened his mouth to tell his origin, and Yang Bang next to him hurriedly bumped his brother with his elbow. The latter smiled and said, "This little brother, my younger brother is ignorant and offended you." Today is just a joke, a joke, I'll just come to pay a visit or two, and I'll leave immediately. ”
After saying that, Yang Bang pulled his younger brother Yang Wei and was about to leave, and the dozens of people who had originally entered the village walked out in a sparse manner. It's just that Zhou Qingfeng looked at the backs of the two brothers and shouted at the top of his voice, "Batu." ”
Several courtyards in the corner of the village immediately broke out of a bald barbarian, and heard Zhou Qingfeng shouting in response, 'here'. Zhou Qingfeng shouted again: "I didn't say that I could go, whoever dared to leave the village would kill him immediately." ”
Batu answered again, and with a wave of his hand, more than a dozen Mongolian barbarians armed with knives and axes ran out viciously. The Yang brothers hadn't reached the entrance of the village yet, and when they saw this posture, they hurriedly turned around and rushed to Zhou Qingfeng, and Yang Bang, the owner of the big village who didn't speak just now, shouted desperately: "Big boss, misunderstanding, misunderstanding, please give me a chance, I must give a chance." ”
