Chapter 44: Impact

Su Ming followed the Li family's caravan, used up a magazine and then changed it, sometimes he took out the bullet from the warehouse and put it in the magazine as he walked, which seemed very relaxed.

The two sons of the Li family, in order to survive, ordered everyone not to run in front of them, and Su Ming kept a distance of 200 meters from the two sons of the Li family, but the people who ran behind kept falling.

When the coolies saw this, they also understood that if they listened to the words of these two sons, they would definitely die today, so some people began to surpass the two sons, and they wanted to live.

How can the physique of the son of the Li family be compared to these coolies, and after a while, they fell at the back of the team, no matter how they screamed, no one paid attention to them, and the two brothers watched Su Ming get closer and closer to them, and turned around and knelt on the ground with a "poof".

Su Ming didn't give the two of them a chance to talk more, two shots solved each other, and the remaining Li family coolies were about more than ten people, and he didn't plan to chase them, he turned around and saw weapons falling all over the ground on the road, Su Ming was all included in the warehouse of the coast guard ship, and there were not too many weapons for any force.

Return to the Li family's carriage position. These carriages were all empty, and there were 18 horses in the 12 carriages, and these horses were worth at least 600 taels of silver, but Su Ming didn't have time to send these horses to Fenglingdu to sell, and he didn't dare to bring these horses back to Erweibao.

Today, I have earned more than 1,000 taels of silver, so leave these horses to those who are lucky! The Li family's losses this time are so huge, this Songjiang Mansion may be lively for a while.

Thinking that there was still a long way to go home, Su Ming finally took two war horses, one was put into the warehouse of the coast guard ship, and the other was ridden under the crotch.

These two horses can be regarded as making it a little difficult for the Li family to find out the truth, the Li family's guards did not come back after attacking Erweibao, and the caravan was destroyed by one person, this secret will definitely not be kept, so after Su Ming knows about this, the Li family will definitely suspect Erweibao.

However, Su Ming is not afraid of the Li family, the Li family is just an ordinary merchant, they have no way to deal with Erweibao, and Erweibao has no intersection with them, even if he has the relationship of Jin Shanwei's commander, they can only endure without any evidence.

Back at Bihaiwan, the caravans here were almost gone, but Su Ming saw that there were still many people hiding in the bamboo forest, they were probably afraid of meeting people they knew on the road, and they didn't want to be known by themselves here, so they didn't dare to come out until the other caravans were almost gone.

Back at the hiding point, Su Ming saw that the eldest brother and the fifth brother and others were all here, the thirteenth brother was injured in the arm, and the second Weibao was injured more than a dozen people, and the most serious of them was a half-foot-long cut in his chest, which was almost dying.

"Eighth brother, you're finally back, what have you been doing alone for so long!" Su Ren saw Su Ming coming back and said excitedly.

"Last night I followed a person to see who attacked us, and I chased it until early this morning to find the target, and it was the people of the Li family who attacked us last night, they saw that we exchanged a lot of goods, and felt that we were weak, so they made a move on us." Su Ming said.

"We also asked here, the Li family mainly attacked us because of the Shen family, after this time, our relationship with the Li family will definitely be endless, you have to pay attention in the future.

In addition to the Li family last night, there was also one family, and at least one family watched from the side and did not move. We've been careful to dodge, but some people are still pushing us. Su Ren shook his head and said.

"And a second wave? How many people came, I'll just say how many of us were injured. Su Ming said.

"Last night, the first wave of the Li family came with 35 people, and the second wave came with more than 50 people, and thanks to the pistols you left behind, we were able to repel the enemy.

We killed all the people of the Li family, and we killed 19 people in the second wave of attackers, but we don't know what kind of force the other party belongs to, but as long as we bring these corpses back, we will definitely know who the other party is.

We lost 6 people killed and 14 wounded, and two of us were seriously injured and I am afraid that we will not be able to survive. Su Ren said.

"Big brother, I'll pick up something and I'll be back soon." Su Ming said and left, when he came back, he was holding fourteen first-aid kits, he had accumulated this thing for 14 days, and now there are fifteen in the warehouse, and it can only take up space in the warehouse, so it is better to use it.

Su Ming taught everyone how to use the first-aid kit, and seeing that the wounds on some soldiers' bodies were too deep, Su Ming took out the original first-aid kit in the warehouse, cleaned the wounds with alcohol, and then sewed up the wounds for them.

It was getting dark, and all the caravans in Biwan Bay took advantage of the night to leave, and Su Ren saw that Su Ming and Tie Zhu were guarding the goods at the hiding point, and he took 50 soldiers and 160 young men to start transferring the goods.

"Big brother, you transport the wounded and valuable goods back first, leaving food is not worth a few dollars, you leave me a small flag of soldiers, and it is useless to bring back the young and strong to stay here." Su Ming said.

"Okay, then be careful, we should be able to transport three times tonight, and one more trip tomorrow morning, if you are attacked, you must protect yourself." Although Su Ren knew that his younger brother had a lot of means that he hadn't shown, he was still a little worried in his heart.

"Big brother, you have to be careful on the road, we have to pass through the area of Zha Yan Fort, and Zha Yan Castle may cause us trouble at that time. The thirteenth brother is injured, you hold this pistol, brother, I have filled the magazine, you have 30 bullets, if Wang Xianxiang dares to do it, you are welcome. Su Ming said.

"Qi Yanbao probably doesn't have the courage to do this, besides, their banner is dead, and Yao Qianhu can't protect him if the matter is big.

I'm worried about how many forces we're going to get noticed this time, and if there are big forces that want to get rid of us, we're going to be in danger. Su Ren still looked further, he knew where the key to the problem facing Erweibao was.

"What do you want to do so much, let's work hard to build Erweibao and train the soldiers well, who dares to come and let them try.

When the new city wall of Erweibao is built, even if the commander makes us label us as anti-thieves, it will not be easy for the imperial court to capture us. "What Su Ming said was the worst result, and he was eradicated by the imperial court as a thief.

"Yes, we bought so many things and so much food this time. These things can be sold for at least 5,000 taels of silver, and in the future, we will collect more homeless people and let them settle down.

I have some ideas for the training soldiers, and we will discuss them again when we go back. Everything is almost loaded, and here we go! Su Ren left, and only a dozen of the nearly 300 people left, guarding the grain pile as big as a hill.

Erweibao basically sent Qingzhuang, and even some women followed, and now only Cao Chunrui is left in the family with more than a dozen soldiers, so the eldest brother must go back as soon as possible.

Su Ming sent all his soldiers out at the hiding point, leaving him and Tiezhu lying on the grain pile and watching the stars.

In the middle of the night, some soldiers came to report that Su Ren had returned, and Su Ming saw that the eldest brother had brought back about 200 people. The wounded and some of the soldiers had already stayed in Erwei Fort, Su Ming and everyone carried the food out of the bamboo forest and put it on the carriage, watching everyone move the food home little by little in various ways, and he went back to the hiding point to continue sleeping.

On the evening of May 14, Su Ming woke up from a beautiful sleep and left the room, seeing that the eldest brother and the fifth brother were still sleeping, and this time the brothers were tired.

Su Zhe washed his face with one hand in the courtyard alone, in fact, his injury was not serious, but the bow and arrow hit the wrist, and it did not hurt the bones, and it would be fine in a week at most.

"Starling, you're up!" Su Zhe saw Su Ming go out and asked.

"Your wound is not big, it has been stitched, as long as you don't use too much force, it's fine, and the scar left after the injury is healed won't be too obvious." Su Ming saw Su Zhe and said to him cautiously.

"Starling, when did you learn the ability to sew wounds, I don't feel too painful after you sew them, if we don't have your first aid kit this time, several of them will definitely not be able to be saved." Su Zhe said to Su Ming.

"Well, don't make a noise about this thing, I'll leave this gun to you, if you don't have bullets, just ask me, but you don't want anyone else to see the gun except for the eldest brother and fifth brother.

In the future, you will stay in the fort to participate in training, and in case the second Castle is attacked, you must be dragged with a pistol, and I will rush back as soon as I get the news. Su Ming was still worried that someone in Jinshanwei Town or Songjiang City would jump over the wall in a hurry, leaving a pistol in the fort, and the safety would be guaranteed.

Now that Su Ming is growing at a rate of 105 bullets a day, there is no shortage of ammunition for him, and the thirteenth brother has practiced his marksmanship, which will have a greater effect on Erweibao.

Su Ming took out the pistol from his pocket and handed it to Su Zhe, and then went back to the room and took out the bullets in the small box, which were about more than fifty catties and more than six hundred rounds, in case someone attacked Erweibao, these bullets could replace hundreds of enemy lives.

"Starling, I'll practice my marksmanship well." After this transaction, Su Zhe seemed to have grown up, and he knew that when Su Ming handed over the gun to him, he handed over the entire Erwei Castle to him safely.

Su Ming must stay in the salt factory during the day, because their biggest threat is still from the pirates and pirates, his rifle can greatly reduce the pressure of Erweibao from the sea, and staying in the salt factory can also better increase the production of the salt factory, that is the hope of Erweibao's future, Su Ren and Su Ming brothers must have one of them there.

Su Zhe came back last night, and after sleeping all night, he was in good spirits, and he told Su Ming that everything was fine with Weibao and the salt factory, and in the past few days when Wang Zhi's fleet docked, the general big forces would not act rashly, which was a tacit understanding formed by everyone for more than ten years.

Early the next morning, Su Ming saw the eldest brother and the fifth brother get up, the eldest brother and the fifth brother basically haven't slept in the past few days, the second Weibao canceled the morning exercise for three days, and planned to let everyone have a good rest, Su Ren called the three younger brothers and Cao Chunrui to the living room of the house, and told him that he planned to increase the training of the soldiers.

"In the past, we had no money and no food, but now that there is no shortage of money, we should raise everyone's training.

Our Erweibao soldiers plus 100 households and 112 banner owners have been fully established, and the training effect of this month is also obvious, and everyone's strength has improved a lot.

Without Yao Qianhu's signal, we have no right to increase the number of soldiers, but now that we are not short of money, I plan to let all the soldiers lose production and increase all military salaries by 2%.

In terms of equipment, we came back with some knives and guns this time, plus there was no shortage of weapons before, and this time we captured 12 pairs of leather armor and 23 pairs of cloth armor, and most of the soldiers could wear armor. In the future, even if you encounter the same number of pirates, you will be able to compete with them. Su Ren said confidently.
