Chapter 14: The government comes to suppress it
It was a hot summer, and it only took a few days for the barrel of the gun to dry.
Because it has not been brushed with oil, it will certainly not be durable, but it is more than enough for short-term combat.
Ghost Li took a shot and tried to shake it, it felt lighter, but it was full of toughness, and it was not easy to break when people used a knife to cut it.
The iron spear head has a blade, and when it pierces the tree, it is a small hole, and if it is poked at a person, it can kill half a life on the spot.
Even if you don't die on the spot, if the aftercare is not timely, it is inevitable that the wound will ulcerate and become inflamed.
It makes sense to say that it would rather be stabbed ten times than not shot once.
In these days, the infantry are consumables, and there is no need to equip them with luxury equipment such as armor and shields, so it is perfect to get some spears for the soldiers to use.
You only need to stab a few enemy soldiers to death in the battle formation, and you will all return to your roots.
As for those who unfortunately died in battle, they will be given some bereavement benefits casually, and then they will be recruited.
The millions of troops of the Great Song Dynasty came here in this way.
Liao and Western Xia also had cannon fodder armies, all of whom couldn't survive and had to eat in the army.
As for how much combat effectiveness can have, it's hard to say.
What is really used to fight a tough battle depends on those descendant troops.
However, the Liao State and the Western Xia are like treasures for the armies that can be fought, what Tiefutu and Iron Harriers, they all want horses to horses, and armor to armor, and the killing must be put at the most critical moment, but when dividing the spoils, it must be the first to pick.
Only the Great Song Dynasty, once there were many famous generals and literati wearing swords, but now they are getting worse and worse, and they all want to go to Donghuamen to roll call, which one still regards a group of killers as heroes?
Today's Western Army is the most capable army in the Great Song Dynasty, but it is also subject to suspicion and various constraints.
It won't take many years for Emperor Daojun to send people to the Western Army to divide power, causing the Western Army to centrifuge.
Under the infighting, countless pawns became victims, throwing their bones on the banks of the Baigou River.
The end result of the power struggle is a lose-lose situation.
However, these things are still far away from Ghost Li, and it is not his turn to worry about them.
If he is not in his position, he only needs to think about how to deal with the local government's clearance.
In the past, the Yushan bandits were not regarded by the imperial court because these bandits did not make any big noise, and they needed money and food for requisition, and they had no merit in exterminating them.
But Ghost Li slashed and killed the housekeeper of Li Daguan, in order not to lose his own prestige, then Li Daguan must also push the government to come and suppress.
Based on the original situation of the Yushan thieves, don't look at the hundreds of people in the cottage, but they don't even have a few weapons, and they have never been trained, they are all a group of rabble.
As long as the yamen dispatched dozens of officials to arrest quickly, and the weapons and armor were complete, they could be easily wiped out.
This is still because they don't know that the big boss in Yushan has become a Li ghost, if they know, I'm afraid it will not be the government officials who will come to catch the fast, but the imperial army.
But there is no impermeable wall in the world, and in order to make a name, Li Ghost has never concealed his name.
Sooner or later, these minions on the mountain will know that their big boss is worth three thousand yuan, and it would be strange if there was no one who betrayed him at that time!
Who knows when the imperial army will be killed at the foot of the mountain?
If you don't train an army capable of fighting before that, it will be difficult to escape when the time comes!
If he hadn't hacked Steward Li to death, he might have gone to Daguan Li to hire a guide and run away in advance, but now he can't do it.
The person he relies on is just that he can kill more and more on the battlefield, and when he is not afraid of jackals, tigers and leopards, it will be the day to walk freely.
But the officers and soldiers are not pigs, standing there and letting him slaughter, they must rush up and beat him.
Even if he is covered in iron and can hit a few nails, he must have some cannon fodder to share some pressure by his side.
As long as this group of bandits can hold out for a moment in front of the military formation, he has the confidence to kill the enemy generals and turn defeat into victory.
In a small place like Yizhou, what strong generals can there be?
After that, you can fight monsters and upgrade the map, get stronger and stronger the more you fight, and finally go to Liangshan to seize the throne and lay a good foundation.
A hero and three gangs, whether it is Song Jiang or Fang La, there is a group of heroes and heroes under their hands.
Otherwise, with the power of one person, it will be the reincarnation of the overlord of Western Chu, and it will only be the result of Wujiang's self-slaughter.
As for simply staying in this Yushan Mountain, using this as a base to recruit heroes from all over the world, Li Ghost never thought about it at all.
This small village in Yushan, there is no 800 miles of water and natural danger, if it is surrounded and suppressed by the army, it will not be able to hold it at all, and it can only temporarily settle here, but it is not the foundation of the incident.
The Song Dynasty rebelled every year, but in the end they were either exterminated or appeased, and in the end, there was no one who really had a chance to win the Central Plains.
There is no other reason, but the foundation is unstable.
Sure enough, a few days after killing Steward Li, the revenge of Li Daguan's people came.
"Brother, the yamen is apportioning over there, what kind of anti-bandit tax should be added!"
"I'm afraid that in a few days, the yamen will come to conquer it."
Although this Li Laoqi looks very wasteful, and he can't pick up his shoulders or lift his hands, Li Ghost found that he still has a good way of being a scout.
Because he has lived since he was a child, Li Laoqi is keenly observant and meticulous, and it is perfect for him to investigate intelligence.
When Li Laoqi reported the information he had spoofed, Ghost Li couldn't help but be furious.
"It's really an inexhaustible corrupt official!"
"Maintaining law and order is a matter of duty, and I actually took the opportunity to apportionment and extortion!"
It turned out that the Li officials did put pressure on the yamen and asked the government to send troops to suppress the bandits, but the county lord was unwilling to do a loss-making business, so he apportioned it to the people in the county, and added a miscellaneous tax, which was named the bandit suppression gold.
But all the merchants and people in the county, everyone has them, and no one is empty.
As for whether to divide the account afterwards, it is not for Li Laoqi to find out.
"It's also thanks to them that they made everything boiling, otherwise it's really not easy to find out information."
Li Laoqi looked at his own big village owner flatteringly, and there was a faint fear in his eyes.
He has been inquiring about the news at the foot of the mountain these days, and naturally he will inevitably learn who is drawn on the wanted notice.
If it were someone else, I am afraid that I would have gone straight to the yamen to make the head, but Li Laoqi did not have this idea at all.
It's not that he's not greedy for money, but he's more afraid of death.
Ghost Li has killed many people in a row within a few days, and the evil spirit shocked the bandits, and no one was afraid of him, for fear of violating his taboo and being killed by him with a knife.
Cowardly people naturally have the benefit of being timid, and Ghost Li dared to let him go down the mountain to find out the news, just because he saw that he was enough waste, even if he got the news, he didn't dare to betray.
"A bunch of people!"
"If it is attacked immediately, I can't say that the group of rammed goods outside will not be able to withstand it!"
"When he finishes looting, the training in the village is almost useful, and then he will be killed without leaving a piece of armor."
In order to prevent being attacked by a sneak attack, Li Ghost added two additional groups of scouts in the distant mountains and forests, with a sharp whistle as a signal, once there is news, you can close the gate of the village at any time and guard the village.
A few days later, Li Laoqi hurriedly came to report that the county officials had set off and were coming towards Yushan, and they were about to arrive.
