Chapter 46: The Great Harvest
Jiang Chao got some news from this.
The rest of the people counted the bandits' dens and took away all the gold and silver materials they could take.
In the cottage, Jiang Chao got tens of thousands of taels of silver, thousands of taels of gold, and a lot of food materials, as well as iron and iron tools.
Sure enough, it is worthy of being a bandit who wants to rebel, even if there is so much money, there are a lot of materials in it.
Just by laying down the bandits' nest in Jiming Mountain, what he got was enough for Jiang Chao to develop for several months.
In the early stage of development, there was too much money to pay, don't look at Jiang Chao who got tens of thousands of taels of silver and thousands of taels of gold. But he can't stand what he made.
In the bandits' den, Jiang Chao liberated many of the women who had been kidnapped. And those who had a home to return to were given ten taels of silver, and let them go back.
With no home to go back to, Jiang Chao took them back to the mountain village, where the whole village was now in need of labor, and they had nowhere to go anyway.
Jiang Chao took them in, took care of food, housing and wages, and gave them a way to live.
In these years, it is really not easy to survive.
There are also many craftsmen who have been rescued, and when these craftsmen were taken captive, the family let the bandits kill them all.
They had nowhere to go, and of course they were taken in by Jiang Chao. There is another group of craftsmen in the mountain village.
The follow-up work, Jiang Chao handed over to Ah Sheng and Lin Bin, and then asked people to take Huang Batian's head to the county government to report the news, and receive the reward money by the way.
With Song Ningxue, the county lord, here, the people of the county government did not dare not give money.
As for the income of the bandits' nest, the people in the county government asked because of Song Ningxue, but they didn't dare to ask!
And he and Song Ningxue went back to the village first.
Song Ningxue's face was full of excitement, she still couldn't believe that the bandits in Jiming Mountain were really wiped out by them.
Only those who have been recruited more recently have been used.
From the beginning, she was not optimistic about Jiang Chao's training methods. But from today's battle, everyone behaved with orders and forbidden, and the progress was measured.
She knew it was the result of her training.
She even felt that as long as she continued to train like this, this team of more than 400 people would become a team of elite soldiers.
Along the way, she looked at Jiang Chao from time to time, and there was a strange look in her eyes. The eyes were also unconscious, a little confused.
Jiang Chao's performance made her more and more admired, and she was unconsciously falling deeper and deeper!
As for Jiang Chao's appropriation of the money, she didn't react.
If there was no Jiang Chao, they would not have talked about exterminating the bandits, and they might even be anxious about the bandits in Anning County. This money is nothing.
Moreover, she knows a little about what Jiang Chao has done recently, and her heart is full of admiration.
Now in this world, there are probably not many people who can still think about others.
To make a living for the villagers, to feed the old and young women and children in the village, and to run a school for the villagers. For his own bandits, work hard.
Everything Jiang Chao did was what Song Ningxue herself once wanted to do. It's just that she doesn't have the ability to implement it.
And Jiang Chao has the ability to implement it, why don't he fully support it?!
"Brother Jiang, next, when are we going to destroy the remaining four bandits?!" Song Ningxue rode on the horse and looked at Jiang Chao expectantly.
The great victory of Jiming Mountain made her full of confidence in the suppression of bandits. It seems that as long as Jiang Chao makes a move, the bandits will surrender directly.
Her address to Jiang Chao has also changed from Mr. to the current Brother Jiang.
From last night's tribulation, to Jiang Chao's desperate rescue, to today, the two are fighting side by side, life and death together.
Song Ningxue's mentality towards Jiang Chao became unclear even to herself, she just wanted to be closer to Jiang Chao.
The title of Brother Jiang will make her feel that she is very close to Jiang Chao.
Except for being a little shy at first, she is now more and more obedient.
When Jiang Chao heard this, he glanced at Song Ningxue with a smile, shook his head and said:
"The remaining four bandits, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to exterminate. If we want to destroy them, with our current strength, we can only deliver food, unless we can recruit more troops. ”
The reason why the bandits in Jiming Mountain were able to be exterminated was that in addition to the hard-won bamboo thunder, there were also good fighters to choose from.
Another is that there are not many bandits in Jiming Mountain.
But the remaining four bandits are different, the least is afraid of 14,500 people, and the maximum may be more than 2,000 people.
After Jiming Mountain is destroyed, they will definitely be vigilant. If you want to use bamboo thunder again, it will be difficult.
Although bamboo thunder is a sharp weapon, it is not without shortcomings.
Even if those bandits react and imitate it, their own side may also suffer the loss of bamboo thunder.
After all, bamboo thunder is not a high-tech product. As long as you know the principle, it is simple to manufacture.
What those bandits lacked should be gunpowder, and they didn't have a talent like Jiang Chao who knew how to make gunpowder.
But it was not difficult for them to get gunpowder. It's just that I can't get much gunpowder.
In addition, there are only more than 400 people on his side, with these more than 400 newcomers, how can he go to confront more than 1,000 people?!
Song Ningxue's words made Jiang Chao feel a sense of urgency again.
The remaining four bandits are afraid that they have been regarded as thorns in their side.
Especially the Yeluqing who escaped, this should be a spy from the Khitan tribe who came to make trouble.
Jiang Chao almost killed the other party, this hatred, how could that kid forget?!
Once the other four bandits get into trouble, the first ones they may have to deal with are the mountain villages and Jiang Chao.
When Jiang Chao interrogated several bandit leaders, he got some information, including the news that the bandits might rebel at the time of the autumn harvest.
Although, the fall of the Jiming Mountain bandits may make these bandit dogs jump over the wall in a hurry, but it is not possible to rebel in advance.
However, this possibility cannot be ruled out.
What Jiang Chao has to do now is to take advantage of this time to make more preparations. For example, recruit more people from the village protection team.
In addition, it is necessary to see if we can make a gun during this period, or a cannon.
As for counting on the officers and soldiers of the Zhou Mansion, it is simply impossible.
If these officers and soldiers really have combat effectiveness, they will not even be able to attack the bandit dens on a few small hills.
"Then recruit troops, Brother Jiang, you can do it with confidence, don't worry about anything else. Leave it to me! ”
Song Ningxue nodded when she heard this. She was reassuring Jiang Chao.
Jiang Chao said that she wanted to recruit troops, and she also knew that there were some difficulties. If you let the court know about raising private soldiers. It will definitely be punished as a crime of rebellion.
If it is not done well, it will bring death to Jiang Chao and the entire mountain village.
However, Song Ningxue is the county lord, she is a royal family after all, and she still has some privileges.
It can be reflected in many ways, for example, she can have five hundred private guards.
