Chapter 36 Zhao'an Horse Bandits

Zhu Gui only said this sentence, and Xu Yingxu immediately understood what he meant.

But he understood it, but he still couldn't understand Zhu Gui's approach.

Especially with the temper of the other party when he was in Nanjing City, how could he do such a thing?

Zhu Gui turned his head to look at Scar.

"This king can give you the identity of a thousand cavalry households, you are temporarily under the jurisdiction of the guard, and I will give you three days to clean up the most heinous criminals in the Wild Wolf Gang."

Scar immediately lay on the ground and kowtowed and said: "My subordinates understand, I will clean up the wolf gang immediately after I go back, and I will definitely give the prince an explanation." ”

He never thought that this little prince would not only let him go, but also give him an official position of a thousand households.

"This king's words are not finished yet, this king does not have the right to form a personal guard for the time being, and you can join this king in the future, but during this period, you continue to act as a horse bandit of the wolf gang, and the task I give you is to annex other bandits in Shanxi."

Zhu Gui finally said what he thought.

If he wants to revitalize industry and commerce, he will inevitably build bridges and roads to open up transportation throughout Shanxi.

But these robbers and bandits are always a big hidden danger.

And he can't send troops to garrison along the way, right?

Not to mention that he only has a hundred soldiers now, even after he forms a personal guard, he is not willing to spend money and grain on this.

So after learning about the existence of the Wolf Gang, he thought of a way to 'fight bandits with bandits'.

As for whether the wolf gang would be obedient, he was not worried at all.

After Scar heard Zhu Gui's plan, he was shocked.

This little prince's appetite is really big, but even if the Wild Wolf Gang is the largest and strongest gang in Shanxi, it is not strong enough to confront all the other bandits?

He expressed this idea with prestige.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Gui had been prepared for this question.

"Don't worry, people, money, food and intelligence will be provided to you by this king, and you will be responsible for leading the troops."

Zhu Guike did not forget the first batch of salt sellers who changed careers, half of them joined the Chamber of Commerce, but half of them were idle.

Although they later participated in the militia and road construction, they were originally selected by Zhu Gui as a reserve for the pro-soldiers.

Now stuffing them into the Wolf Gang little by little is equivalent to training.

So, Xu Yingxu took people to the Wild Wolf Gang station, accompanied by the second boss with a bitter face.

Scar and the three masters and two hundred other horse bandits followed the king and they returned to Datong Mansion.

On the way, those who had come to accompany the hunt dispersed, and only the squires who had colluded with the horse bandits were escorted to Datong Mansion.

The king took these horse bandits to the place where the soldiers were trained.

With the new round of training and shooting of the returning government soldiers, the horse bandits' eyes were straight.

It turned out that the swords in their hands were already outdated.

"King, lord, can I get these firearms too?"

Scar saw the flintlock pistol in the hands of the soldiers, just like seeing a peerless beauty.

Zhu Gui was very satisfied when he saw this: "Then it depends on your performance, remember, this world is very big, don't just bully your own people, in addition to the steppe of the Mongols, there are countless lands and treasures, and there will be the land of the Ming Dynasty." ”

"Yes, my subordinates know."

Scar's eyes glow.

Soon, Scar was put back.

And Xu Yingxu also pulled back all the treasures that the squires gave to the Wolf Gang, and then took people to confiscate the family property of the squires who colluded with the Wolf Gang.

After this incident, Zhu Gui's reputation in Datong Mansion is like a god descending from heaven.

Storytellers on the streets and alleys have written various versions of his story of outwitting the Wolf Gang, which have been circulated.

And without the threat of horse bandits, plus all the squire families in the seven surrounding counties, they all responded to the announcement of the acting king's mansion with great interest.

For a time, new road construction began to be carried out in full swing in various states and counties.

In addition, branches of the Datong Chamber of Commerce have been established in various prefectures and counties, and local small and medium-sized businessmen and handicraft workshop owners have also joined.

However, although all localities have followed the example of Datong Prefecture and built roads in the form of farmers' drawings, it still takes years to connect the official roads between prefectures and counties.

This is mainly due to the fact that the road construction and transportation tools were still very backward at this time.

But Zhu Gui can't do anything about it, although he has improved some tools, it can only play a drop in the bucket.

To further liberate the productive forces, the steam engine was also needed.

However, the steam engine is a system reward, and he can't bypass the system to study it alone, so he can only wait for the next year's taxes.

……

When the road construction tide was set off in Yunzhou, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, had already received the three-eyed gun.

He studied it for a few days and found that it was indeed very subtle, greatly increasing the power and rate of fire of the firearm.

However, he found workers who wanted to imitate the three-eyed gun, but something went wrong.

The craftsmen dismantled the two three-eyed guns, and the structure inside was obviously very simple, but they couldn't imitate it at all.

When Zhu Di heard this, he was furious.

He also thought that these craftsmen were deliberate, so he cut down all those craftsmen.

But now that the samples are gone, if you want to continue to get the three-eyed gun, you can only get it from the acting king, that is, Zhu Gui.

He could only be cheeky and sent another messenger.

This time, I didn't continue to ask for samples, but wanted to customize a batch of 100 three-eyed guns, the price was 20,000 taels of silver tickets, and a promise.

When the envoy of King Yan came to the palace of the king, he saw that the little prince was riding a strange thing and was circling in the courtyard.

"The prince, the princess, the messenger of the king of Yan is here."

Pearls shouted.

"Huh?" Zhu Gui, who was riding a bicycle, saw a strange man standing at the gate.

"Take him to the side hall."

Zhu Gui said.

"Hey, you go and meet the guest, King Yan may have something urgent, it's time for me to ride."

Xu Miaoqing grabbed Zhu Gui's arm and said.

"Hey, you're cheating, okay, don't break it."

Zhu Gui was pulled off the bicycle by Xu Miaoqing, and could only reluctantly instruct.

Xu Miaoqing ignored her, and even took Zhu'er to the car, and the sound of frolicking spread throughout the palace.

Zhu Gui came to the side hall, and the envoy of King Yan immediately saluted.

"Lord Wang, this is a letter from King Yan."

After Zhu Gui saw it: "A hundred three-eyed guns? ”

The envoys on the side and the steward of the king did not dare to talk.

"In this way, you take the money back, you tell King Yan, a promise is enough, and after a month, send someone to pick it up."

Zhu Gui thought about it for a while, but still agreed.

Although these 100 Three-Eyed Guns can be useful in a battle, they cannot influence a war.

Not to mention that Zhu Di was the winner of the Battle of Jingjing.

And what Zhu Gui values is exactly what the other party said.
