Late Ming Dynasty: Conquering the world starting from riding and cutting

Chapter 7 Going up the mountain to suppress bandits

[Recite the URL silently three times. Do you remember it? If you don’t remember, I’ll ask again in the next chapter. It’s best to share it on Facebook for me]

Three days passed by in a blink of an eye. According to the plan, Qin Hao should have been on his way up the mountain.

But God was not kind to us. The sun was shining brightly in the sky a few days ago, but on the scheduled departure day, it started to rain heavily.

It rained for two consecutive days, causing Qin Hao's plan to suppress the bandits to be postponed.

"Sir, according to the practice of previous years, it is estimated that it will continue to rain intermittently for another month." Looking at the majestic heavy rain, Chen Hu also looked helpless.

It is July in the lunar calendar, which means it is June in the Gregorian calendar.

Qin Hao knew that the monsoon weather in Taiwan usually lasts from June to August, so there will be heavy rainstorms from time to time in these three months.

For farmers, this is a good time for sowing.

Rice likes temperature and humidity, and the summer monsoon brings rain and heat at the same time. Even though the Little Ice Age in the late Ming Dynasty is about to enter, rice can still be grown twice a year here.

But from the current point of view, this monsoon rain has brought great uncertainties to Qin Hao, which is a big problem.

If you wait until this period of time before going to suppress the bandits, it will be Xia Bo.

But now the rations in the village have been basically exhausted, and only some grains are left.

During the training sessions a few days ago, many villagers donated grain to provide more food for the team.

But even if the land in Taiwan is fertile and good for growing grain, if there are not enough rice seeds for sowing this summer, there will be no ears of rice.

If there is no food, people will starve to death. When people die, no one will farm. This goes on and on, falling into an endless cycle.

Qin Hao looked at the pouring rain outside the house, clenched his fingers, and decided resolutely: "I can't wait any longer, I have to set off today no matter what.

After one vigorous effort, and then exhausted, three times failed, they took advantage of the heavy rain to attack the bandits and catch them by surprise. "

Following Qin Hao's order, the cavalry and cutting soldiers took action one after another, sorting out their equipment and lining up.

The villagers had already prepared baked dry food for the troops, and braved heavy rain to come to the school grounds to hand the dry food to the soldiers.

From time to time he would say: "Adults, be careful."

Although they had only known each other for a few days, the villagers seemed to have already planted a deep long-cherished wish for this group of cavalry and slashing soldiers.

This time, Qin Hao also brought Li Yi as his guide. He had just arrived here not long ago and was not familiar with the place. If he led the team up the mountain and got lost, it would probably be difficult to come back down.

Li Yi has been traveling in the mountains all year round and is very familiar with the direction of the mountains and vegetation, which can facilitate the team's movement. The most important thing is that Li Yi knows the approximate location of the bandit's camp.

Generally speaking, bandits go down the mountain to collect food and will not expose the location of the village.

But Li Yi had a fellow villager in the mountain village. He came down the mountain several times to talk to him, and he could tell him something about the situation on the mountain from time to time.

After going back and forth, Li Yi also deduced the approximate location of the cottage, which was not a problem for a hunter.

"Set off"

Qin Hao shouted in the school field, and the team began to advance slowly.

The rain was pouring down, the wind was blowing in my eyes, and the raindrops were falling on my body, but I felt extremely cold.

The road up the mountain is steep and steep, and there are stops and starts all the way down.

When there is a severe storm, find a place to take shelter and rest for a while;

When it started to rain lightly, we continued to pack our bags and go on the road. Fortunately, with the help of Li Yi, we avoided many dangerous places along the way.

During the process, Qin Hao carefully observed the direction of this mountain range and found that it was not the central mountain range that ran from north to south, but seemed to be just a side mountain range.

This means they won't be gone for long.

Sure enough, as soon as Qin Hao finished deducing, Li Yi walked to the middle of the team wearing a raincoat and said to Qin Hao:

"Sir, at our current marching speed, it will probably take until midnight to reach the vicinity of the mountain stronghold."

Seeing the rain on his face, Qin Hao patted his shoulder and encouraged: "Work harder. If you wipe out the bandits this time, I will remember your success and give you more seeds than you can finish in a year." Food, let you go back and enjoy the scenery."

Qin Hao knew that Li Yi was interested in the young girl named Axiu in the village, but her family was poor. Axiu didn't mind, but Axiu Niang firmly disagreed and always wanted to marry Axiu to a nearby big village to enjoy happiness.

Although Qin Hao has been focusing on the soldiers these days, he has heard about these farm affairs, which can relieve his fatigue.

"Hey, hey, thank you, sir." As soon as Li Yi heard the reward, he immediately wiped the sweat from his head. He didn't feel bitter in his heart, and ran to the front of the team to clear the way without looking back.

At this time, the bandit camp

Juyi Hall

Head shaking

"Blind Liu, don't bully others too much. If my father hadn't been kind enough to take you in, where would you be now?"

A young man in the lobby blushed and pointed at a blind bandit on the chair opposite and yelled.

Blind Liu was not angry either. He sat motionless on the wooden chair, crossed his legs and said to the young man in front of him with a scornful smile:

"What the Young Master is saying is that I will never forget the life-saving grace of the First Master until my death, but what we are talking about today is not about kindness."

"Young Master, I advise you not to compete with me for this position.

No one knows about my contribution to Shanzhai over the years. I am responsible for most of your father's power. That's how blind I am in my right eye.

After your father died, I deserved this top spot. "

Blind Liu stood up, pointed to his blind right eye, and shouted heroically to the bandits gathered in the hall, which attracted a burst of response from the bandits.

When the young man saw what the bandits were doing, his face turned livid, and he cursed in his heart: "A bunch of losers."

When the big boss was here, everyone came to his side to brag about the Pacers, saying things like "I will support the young boss until I die."

Now that the head of the family is gone, everyone has been transferred to Blind Man Liu.

"That's all, that's all." Seeing that something was wrong, the young man retreated.

After these days of fighting, the young man also knows his own weakness. He is inferior to Liu Xiazi in terms of strength and prestige in the village. When his father was alive, he could barely suppress him, but now he is not as good as before.

The young man changed the topic and said in a slightly calm tone: "I also know that your brother Liu has made a lot of contributions to the cottage over the years.

But after all, I am my father's only son. According to the law, when my father dies, it is his son who inherits the family property.

But I am indeed a junior and have no ability. This village was built by everyone together. There is no justice for a son to take the position of father. I will make Brother Liu the head of the house today.

But I have a request. Can the Gujiazhuang land at the foot of the mountain be handed over to me? "

"Hahaha, since the young master is so humble, I don't dare to support him. The villages next to Gujiazhuang are all given to the young master. In a few days, I will ask Liu Er and the others to withdraw. They will never cross the border in the future. "

Blind Liu said to the young man with a smile on his face.

"Okay, since Mr. Liu is so happy, I wish him all the best." The young master received an unexpected harvest, and he also thought highly of Blind Liu.

He hurriedly ordered his men to go to the warehouse to get wine, and today he would give Liu Da the chance to wash away the dust.

"Brothers, pick up the wine bowl in your hands and congratulate Brother Liu on becoming our new village leader."

"The big one, the big one"

Under the leadership of the young master, everyone shouted in unison.

"Hahaha, all the brothers are having fun together, having fun together, everyone is open to me to eat and drink. I won't go home until I'm drunk tonight." Blind Liu came back one by one with a wine bowl to toast the big and small bandit leaders.

After the toast, the brothers in the village started a real carnival, drinking and feasting happily. The scene was full of joy and laughter.

"Brother, we really want to give him that piece of land."

At this time, a fat man with a fleshy face walked next to Blind Liu and complained, "The Gujiazhuang is so fat. Our village gets half the year's income from there."

"Haha." Blind Liu sneered twice, then looked at Liu Er, his eyes full of murderous intent and said, "Second brother, do you think I am a fool!"

"Brother, what do you mean?"

Blind Liu took advantage of everyone being drinking, glanced at Liu Laoer, and quietly moved his palm to the middle of his neck and scratched it a few times.

"Okay, I'll go down and get ready, hehe." Liu Laoer agreed with a sinister look on his face.

Blind Liu looked coldly at the young master who was happily going around toasting, and he seemed to have murderous intent: "You dare to divide the family property with me, I will send you to see your damn father tonight."
