Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
"Old tree root" surnamed Geng, called Geng Ping, was originally a carpenter in Shanxi, a few years ago there was a drought in his hometown, so he had to drift to the northeast with some apprentices to make a living...... These people rely on their original skills to make woodworking products at the same time as they cut wood, and their annual income is much better than that of other wood farm workers.
The craftsmen in the wooden yard gathered together, and Geng Ping sighed, "Senior Brother Ji, it can be said that the outside of the gate is the world of Manchurians and horse bandits. If we want to be able to go into the mountains to cut wood, we have to be exploited by the Black Wind Village, and we have to sell wood and handicrafts in the city, and we have to pay taxes to the Manchurians. was scraped off by these two weights, and he barely made ends meet all year round. β
This freshly baked "peasant union" is exactly the name that Ji Aojian came up with. He listened to the old tree's grievances and sighed, "These people are all unearned." β
As soon as the words "get something for nothing" came out, everyone resonated deeply and were indignant, "That is, we work hard all year round, and they don't have to do anything, as long as the knife is flashed, they can collect a lot of money." β
There is also humanity, "Senior Brother Ji, our peasant union, are we going to kill all the ringing horses in the mountains, and we will also show our knives to collect money in the future?"
The old tree root hurriedly reprimanded, "This kid is talking nonsense, you have to rely on your own hands to live, when a robber robs money, it is a point of no return, your heart will rot, and this life will be ruined." β
Ji Aojian smiled, "Of course, all the ringing horses outside this pass must be defeated, but you can't rely on bright knives to get by." β
The carpenters glanced at each other, and said, "If you don't have to pay tribute to Heifeng Village anymore, and only pay taxes to the Manchurians, everyone's life will be better." β
Ji Aojian smiled again, "You don't have to pay taxes to the Manchurians." β
Everyone was amazed, "How can you not pay taxes to the Manchurians, this is Manchu." β
Ji Ao said, "Even bandits don't have to fight them, what kind of country is this? A real country should be so that only the government collects taxes, and everything else is illegal." β
Old Shugen sighed and said, "Senior Brother Ji, although what you said makes sense, how can you do it?"
Ji Ao Kendao, "When you destroy the Black Wind Village first, you will believe that you can do it." β
He knew that the Manchus had controlled the northeast for more than 200 years, and no matter how neglected they were in building roads and public security, it would be difficult for ordinary people to equate them with bandits.
Everyone's spirits lifted up and asked, "Senior Brother Ji, how did you fight Black Wind Village?"
Ji Ao Kendao, "How long does it take to get here from Black Wind Village?"
"It takes two or three days to ride a horse." β
Ji Aojian nodded, "Even if the Black Wind Village sends people over to retaliate on a large scale, it will not come out of the nest, at most two hundred people." Our advance troops in the past few days have a hundred guns, enough to send them. β
Everyone was puzzled, "If there are 200 people here, and there are only 100 firearms here, even if one shot kills one, what if there are still 100 horse bandits?"
Ji Aojian coughed and said, "You don't know the battle damage rate of the bandits, and the most three achievements will collapse?"
These thirty percent is still overestimated, the army in the agricultural era, the battle loss to thirty percent before the army collapsed can be regarded as elite soldiers, and the discipline and organization of mountain bandits and bandits are completely unrelated to the word elite soldiers.
In the next few days, there were hundreds of people riding horses and guns in Wuliugou one after another, all of them were big men with strong blood and strong bones, and they also dragged a lot of clothes and food.
These carpenters worked hard day and night to build houses, and the men of the "peasant union" also worked together to solve the problem of living first.
Heifeng Village sent someone to ask for He Laojiu's news again, of course, the messenger who came this time was also shot and killed, and the horse they rode was laughed at.
Ji Ao said, "It's good to come to find out the news again and again, and send a few horses over each time." β
Lao Shugen said, "Senior brother, Hao Da is not a fool, next time he may have to send a large team of people to come over to ask for guilt." β
Ji Aojian smiled, "Now that we have all the manpower here, do you have anything to worry about?"
Old Shugen shook his head, "These heroes are all practitioners, much stronger than the gang in Black Wind Village, even if they don't need firearms, they can kill them." Brother, why do you want them to use guns?"
Ji Ao Kendo, "Now that we have entered the era of muskets, we will all fight each other in the future, and the role that individual martial arts can play is becoming less and less. Well, however, the spirit of fighting bayonets cannot be lost. β
The old tree root said, "I see that there are a lot of firecrackers, but they are in different patterns. And the guns are too thick, that's a small cannon?"
Ji Ao kendao, "That's called lifting a gun, it weighs thirty pounds, and it needs to be used by two people, one person in front with a shoulder." This thing is much more powerful than a bird's gun, and you can say that it is a small cannon, and the person in front of you is also a gun carriage anyway. β
Old Shugen asked, "Where did you get these guns?"
Ji Ao Kendao, "It's all poured out of the imperial firearms camp." β
The old tree root was taken aback, "Could it be that someone else sells all the imperial court arms?"
Ji Ao Kendao, "Since ancient times, military attachΓ©s have made money for themselves, and the main reason is not to rely on empty salaries and selling weapons?"
Look at the superpower after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the arsenal was sold out, and even the atomic bomb was almost sold. This Ming Empire is nothing more than an agricultural dynasty, after entering the normal cycle, it is really normal for military attachΓ©s to secretly sell some weapons, and they will report it in the name of wear and tear, and there will be new equipment to be sent.
Old Shugen hesitated, "Senior brother, I don't know if I should say something or not?"
Ji Ao Kendao, "Is there anything you can't say, you ask." β
Lao Shugen said, "I'm from Shanxi, I seem to have seen these heroes before, are they from Tianma Hall?"
Ji Aojian was surprised, "Old Geng, you are really old-looking, you have recognized it." β
Lao Shugen said, "Since they are from Tianma Hall, why did they join the peasant union again." Could it be that they came out of a rebel gang and partnered with you to come to Kanto to occupy the mountains and become kings?"
When Ji Aojian heard this, he was shocked, "Old Geng, your imagination is too rich?"
Old Shugen said, "Senior brother, I'm thinking about you. You partner with them, although it is quite easy to get rid of the Black Wind Village, but if you are killed by Lonely Smoke, you will also suffer, even if there are a hundred guns here, it will be given in vain. β
It seems that the fame of this lonely smoke is too great, even if this group of people "defected" to the outside of the pass, the locals felt that they would die sooner or later, and they didn't want to have anything to do with them.
Ji Aojian couldn't speak for a while, and said after a while, "Don't worry, Wanli Guyan won't have an opinion, this is the man she sent." β
Seeing his sincere face, the old tree root breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, that's good." You said earlier that the peasant union was a branch of Tianmatang sent to the northeast, so I don't have to think so much. β
Ji Aojian glared and said, "Old Geng, you are wrong again. β
Old Shugen wondered, "What am I doing wrong?"
Ji Ao Kendao, "The Peasant Union is not a branch of the Tianma Hall, the Tianma Hall is a branch of the Peasant Union. β
The old tree roots were also immediately thundered, and his mind was blank, and he was completely out of thought.
I only heard a big man snort, "Ten sons, it's too early for you to say this." β
This person strode over, his face was full of beard, it was Lu Feihao, the master of the Wind Chasing Hall, who had escorted him from Huai'an to the capital, and faithfully followed the instructions of the Seventh Prince, and kept calling him the Tenth Prince.
Ji Aojian naturally knew that he had always been proud of Tianma Hall, and at present, the peasant union had not made any major moves, and the Lu Hall master's sense of identity with the peasant union was naturally quite low. Just like although he is the head of his own family, he is still the "love" of his sisters to a large extent, and their right-hand men are not very convinced of him.
He smiled and said, "Hall Master Lu, if you practice the Fire Gun more, the Black Wind Village will soon be killed." β
Luffy Hao said disappreciatively, "The kind of beam-jumping clown in Black Wind Village, fight with them, and we will win the same way." β
Ji Ao kendao, "Fight the knife, no matter how you win, maybe you will also lose your brother." How good it would be to kill them with a firebolt. β
Luffy Hao thought for a moment and stopped talking.
Ji Aojian said again, "Fighting Black Wind Village is the first battle outside our gates, and it is also the first battle after the musket. If this can be easily won, it will not be difficult to sweep outside the border in the future, Master Lu, if I win this battle, I will go to the mountains to kill a bear and come back, and reward the brothers. β
Luffy Hao's eyes lit up, "This is what you said, the brothers have heard it, as long as the battle is won, Ji Gongzi will go to hunt bears alone." β
