Huazhou, Shaohua Mountain!

The number of sheds at the foot of the mountain has increased rather than decreased, and it is more refined than before. Many have been converted from sheds into thatched huts, with signs standing in front of them. There are bamboo baskets, hemp rope and other supplies, there are also village shops, tea rooms, and many snack stalls on the roadside, most of which are Shaohuashan industries.

People come and go, bustling, people who come to sell vegetables meet acquaintances, and greet warmly: "Oh, Lao Yang, also come to sell vegetables?" ”

"Isn't that right? If you can't finish eating, exchange some money to spend. ”

Ouch, your beans are fresh and tender, and they will definitely sell for a good price. ”

"Don't talk about me, a basket and a half of cucumbers aren't bad."

Greetings like this often happen, and they gather together to set up stalls and shout. Often before a few calls, there will be fewer Huashan minions to buy.

And the caravans from other places will also spend a lot of money to buy thyme or silver quill tea. Two rare things, this is also the reason why Shaohua Mountain attracts caravans from other places.

There are a lot of people eating and drinking tea in the shed of the tea room of the village shop, and most of them are businessmen who are resting, discussing outside affairs or gossip, and laughing from time to time. At the roadside stalls, there are also people gathering, eating, drinking, talking and laughing, chatting about the eldest patriarch Li Jiaxiao, the toad three-legged widow, the navel eye, etc.

The purchase point at the foot of the mountain accidentally became a bazaar!

The reason why there is such a huge change in a short period of time. It was a series of measures to benefit the people after Shaohuashan had a strong force.

For example, there are often cavalry haunts within 20 miles of Shaohua Mountain, and the people nearby or the caravans that pass by will receive free assistance when they encounter difficulties, such as twisting their feet, suddenly falling ill, and encountering thieves.

Fights and brawls are not allowed here

, petty theft and so on are also not allowed. You only need to pay a small fee to trade here, and you can buy and sell freely. There will be no exploitation, and there will be no government to knock the marrow out of the bones. As long as you follow the rules, you will be protected and it will be easy to earn money to support your family.

Shanzhai also announced the long-term purchase of vegetables, chickens, ducks and eggs and other poultry and livestock. For months, there was never a penny less, never a trick on the people, and never a caravan cut, and the more time passed, the fame spread.

Medium and large caravans or small merchants and hawkers from the south to the north, and poor people from nearby villages and towns. There are more and more people trading here every day, and there is no government to restrain it, and the scale is getting bigger and bigger, and it is thriving.

In addition, the cottage goes down the mountain from time to time to borrow food to exterminate those inferior gentry and bullies. It made the local people applaud and became the protector of the people. The people are oppressed and respond to their needs, just like another yamen in Huazhou.

The people naturally like and love it.

Under this general trend, humble acquisition points are becoming more and more prosperous. However, Shaohua Mountain made such a big fanfare and moved other people's cakes, and the news that the imperial court sent a large army to encircle and suppress Shaohua Mountain had already spread.

Forbidden troops from Shaanxi, Xie, Qian, and other prefectures arrived in Huazhou one after another, and now they have gathered at least four or five thousand people, plus seven or eight thousand officers and soldiers from this state. This worries the people or the caravan for a while, but the enthusiasm is not diminished.

On the contrary, they were more active, taking advantage of the fact that the officers and troops had no intention of attacking. Whether it is the caravans coming and going or the surrounding people, they have gathered at the foot of Shaohua Mountain.

Vendors in richly dressed clothes and with some fat figures gathered together. While directing the guys to carry the goods, they had nothing to talk about.

"Third child, you hoard

When will the accumulated grain wait? Don't sell it yet? ”

"This is not in a hurry, and the price will be higher after a while."

"My brother advises that new grain will be harvested one after another, and the price of grain will not rise. I can't find such a good buyer anymore, and I wait to cry when the grain is moldy. ”

"Ouch, dude has a point! I hurriedly notified that it would be shipped. ”

Tens of thousands of elites in the imperial court came to encircle and suppress, how can a small strongman cottage be stopped? Most businessmen want to take advantage of the last money and never come again, but more people don't think so, hoping that Shaohuashan can survive.

"Hey, Shaohuashan has never harassed the people, the merchants, but the court can't tolerate it."

"Who's to say it isn't? Shaohua Mountain is here, deterring bandits, the government, and Huazhou have hardly any major events. It is estimated that it will be the same as before in the future. ”

"What kind of world is this? The government is not as good as the strong, and it is the people who suffer after all. ”

"I hope that the kings of Shaohua Mountain will defeat the army of Bianting."

"Yes, we only keep the rations, sell them all cheaply, and do our best."

Most of the simple people remained pessimistic, thinking that how could a mountain compete with the imperial court? Even so, the people did not give up. Sell your own food, vegetables, chickens and ducks, etc.

More and more people came.

At the foot of the mountain, the acquisition point is crowded, crowded, and the queue is long. Carts of oxen, horses, and wheelbarrows loaded with goods are not visible at a glance.

Shaohuashan's minions held wooden horns, roared like thunder, shouting and lining up, don't mess up. People kept carrying money from the mountains to buy grain, vegetables, medicinal herbs, cloth and other materials, and they were pulled up the mountain in carts. Herds of pigs, sheep and livestock

, chickens, ducks and poultry are constantly driven up the mountain......

Shaohua Mountain, like an invincible giant cave, does not refuse. Cottages spend money like flowing water, and the wealth and wealth make the profit-seeking businessmen blush and discuss. There has been no interruption of similar acquisitions for months, how much does it cost?

100,000, hundreds of thousands, or millions or more!

The vendors didn't dare to think about it, and they couldn't understand why the cottage was so rich. Where can their brains be smarter than ordinary people. The recent rise of white sugar, thyme, and silver quill tea are all products of Shaohua Mountain, plus robbing homes and robbing other people's wealth, and the funds are sufficient.

They couldn't have imagined that the food, cloth and other materials and livestock sent to the cottage would quietly descend the mountain at night and move to Baocalf Mountain in a steady stream.

Zhu Wu, the Divine Machine Military Master, stood in the pavilion halfway up the mountain, staring at the bottom of the mountain. Beside him, Shi Jin, the nine-patterned dragon, Shang Ranwei, the spear Shang Ranwei, Ouyang Shoutong, the jumping tiger Chen Da, the white snake Yang Chun and many other leaders gathered.

"Brothers, the people under the mountain are so enthusiastic, they can't be defeated no matter what. Otherwise, with nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses in the cottage, it is really a lamb in the mouth of his brother. Zhu Wu, the Divine Machine Military Master, held a note with a wry smile on his face.

Not long ago, the intelligence officer received a flying pigeon summons, which was Wang Jin's order. At the beginning, it was a hard-worded dissatisfaction, and there was a lot of opinion on watching the gathering of the forbidden army, thinking that it was a stupid move, and even thinking that Shaohuashan lacked aggressiveness and did not know how to adapt according to the situation, like a lamb to be slaughtered.

After that, the order was succinctly given and the initiative was taken.

With the advantages of being familiar with the terrain and convenient communication, we can find out the enemy, assign manpower, and use the most tough means to block the enemy's reinforcements, and even

Encirclement points to send reinforcements and so on.

"Brothers, my brother is preparing to kill Zhao Tan, the general appointed by the imperial court. Order our side to move and break the morale of the enemy troops. Zhu Wu's eyes swept over every leader present, and his voice was a little low: "Only by beating the other party badly can we have another complete annihilation." ”

"Don't sell the strategist, I'm impatient for a long time." Shi Jin shouted.

"That's it, I just said I was going to fight, and you said to wait for the order." Ouyang Shoutong agreed. Shang Ranwei, Chen Da, Yang Chun, Hao Siwen and others have expressed their positions.

Zhu Wu looked at the note in his hand, combined with the current situation, divided the armed forces on the mountain into multiple routes, and took the initiative to attack according to the number of reinforcements of the forbidden army.
