On the big river, the waves broke through the waves, and several large ships sailed forward.
Several ships come from different places, but have a common destination.
"Brother Qi, you are always kind"
"It turns out to be Brother Zhu. Nice to meet you."
The people on the two boats held hands and greeted each other. Qi Hupo and Zhu Wucang were both bandits from Mo Mingmi Feng, and each dominated the Qinchuan area. Today, they received the news from Dou Zhutong and went to Dou's house at the same time. Village.
Along the way, I met many people, all of whom were leaders of various families. If the Hua Pihu himself didn't have such great energy, everyone knew that the real person behind this incident was Mo Mingmi.
At about noon, everyone arrived at Doujiazhai and was greeted personally by Patty Tiger at the gate of the village.
"Boss Qi, you are here early. Hurry up and invite us inside. Military Advisor Yan is already waiting inside."
"Commander Yan is here too?" Qi Hupo was surprised.
"Yes, Commander Yan will arrive in the morning."
Qi Hupo walked quickly into the village, knowing that Qinchuan Pass would send someone this time, but he did not expect that it would be Yan Di who would take action. Here, Yan Di was a big shot who could not be offended.
Everyone gathered in the cottage hall. Qi Hupo saw that except Yunzhonglong, all the eighteen school captains had arrived. Yunzhonglong also sent Zhou Chahai, but this was Dou Zhutong's territory. , Dou Zhutong did not show up today.
"Sister-in-law of the Dou family, where is Brother Dou? We brothers haven't seen each other for a long time." Zhu Wucang.
"Oh, my man has a minor illness and is currently recuperating in the hospital. What happened today is the same as mine being here." Hua Pihu said with a smile, but in his heart he just wanted to scold me. After knowing that Lu Chunhua's body was burned, Dou Zhutong has been ill for a long time, and now he relies on ginseng soup to survive.
No one dared not give face to Hua Pihu. Although Hua Pihu was a woman, she was really not weak in martial arts, and in terms of ruthlessness and ruthlessness, she was even worse than Dou Zhutong.
What's more, the person behind her is Mo Mingmi.
All eighteen families arrived, and these people were all fierce and fierce people. When they met each other, they talked obscenely. It was not until Yan Di appeared that everyone became quiet.
"Everyone, it goes without saying that you all understand that today we are all here for the same thing, and that is Cheng Dalei." Hua Pihu said: "I think everyone has heard of Cheng Dalei's reputation. To be honest, he is a Character. But this is our territory. We brothers eat on the same river. When he comes here, he will steal everyone's food. I ask you brothers, can we agree?"
"Since he dares to come here, he must listen to Boss Mo. If he is a dragon, he must be coiled up. If he is a tiger, he must lie down for me. If he dares to disobey me, brothers will teach him how to behave."
"That's why everyone is here. There is no bowl for Cheng Dalei to eat in Qinchuan." Hua Pihu said firmly.
Yan Di spoke at this moment: "Cheng Dalei's men only have one or two hundred men. Last time Dou Zhutong suffered from the poisonous snakes in the water, he mainly suffered from them. This is easy to solve. Use realgar to drive away the snakes, and everyone takes a small raft. Go to the island. The key now is, how many people can each family send?"
The voices in the hall became quiet. Although these people were a bunch of rough guys, they were all very clever. They would not do such a thing for free.
"As long as Cheng Dalei is defeated this time, General Mo will exempt everyone from three months of taxes." Yan Di.
As soon as they heard this, everyone's eyes lit up. Although the eighteen families each maintained a monopoly on private salt and wanted to ask for protection fees from passing businessmen, they exploited those nearby, and Mo Mingmi also exploited them.
To put it bluntly, they are just working for Mo Mingmi. If they don't have to pay for three months, this is not a small sum of money.
"Don't worry, Commander Yan. I've long disliked the man named Cheng. We'll send out three hundred people."
"No matter how crazy that man surnamed Cheng is in other places, it won't work here. Let's send out 200 people."
Everyone said something and I said something, and the hall became chaotic again. You sent out 200 people, and I sent out 300 people. In the end, the eighteen families gathered a total of 3,000 people.
When the voice slowly calmed down, Yan Di took out a map from his arms.
"This is the map of Snake Island. Let's take a look at where we should attack from."
"Military Master Yan, if thousands of people fight against a hundred, then attack from wherever you are, just kill them."
…
On Toad Island, the project is still in full swing. It has been worked in three shifts for ten days. Coupled with the bonus of construction proficiency skills, it is now nearing completion.
Originally, half of the lush trees on the island were cut down. The Juyi Hall, the Medical Center, the Commander's Tower, the Observation Tower... were almost built out of the ground. Two docks, light and dark, were built on the outside of Toad Island, and there is also a dock that is yet to be completed.
, in water areas, boats are more useful than horses.
In addition to this, there are defense facilities, arrow towers at high places, traps in the forest, and reefs buried in the water.
By this day, all the projects have been completed, and Toad Village has transformed from an abandoned and dilapidated village into a second-level village.
"Everyone should stand together, stand together, align front and back, and don't sway left or right."
In the martial arts arena, Xu Shenji moved a table over and gathered the strong men who had been snatched away.
"Third brother, what are they doing?" Someone in the crowd whispered quietly.
"I guess they were demolishing the mill and killing the donkey, crossing the river and demolishing the bridge. Now that the work is done, there is no need for us."
"Let us go..."
"It's also possible that they want us to join the gang and become bandits."
Xu Shenji and Liu Bei were sitting behind a table, while Zhang Fei, Gao Feibao and others directed the team and stepped forward one by one.
"Name?" Xu Shenji
"Zhao Sanzhuang."
"Where did it come from?"
"Aoba Town."
"Profession?"
"Bricklayer."
Xu Shenji asked, Liu Bei registered, and the pen fell on the words. Liu Bei took out a sling of money from the box.
"The bricklayer's wages are one drop, so you can wait in line next to him while he's getting paid."
Zhao Sanzhuang took the money and was a little confused for a moment. He had heard of people who provided food before killing people, but he had never heard of people who gave money before killing people.
"This queue, what are you waiting for?"
"We can gather a boatload of people to take you ashore. You can go and wait nearby."
"Really let us go back?"
"Why, you don't want to go back." Xu Shenji said: "We are also recruiting troops now. Come on, if you want to sign up, stand over there."
Everyone got the money and stood together in the room like falling clouds. Some got one tao, some got hundreds of tao, and carpenters and masons got three or four tao.
These people have their backs turned to the sky and have been running around for a year just to not be hungry. There are not many opportunities like this time when they have been busy for ten days, taking care of food in the morning and evening, and still get real money in the end.
"Military advisor, um... I want to ask, will we still have a job here in the future?" Zhao Sanzhuang said, "If you still have a job, I can still come."
"Why don't we register everyone here? We may still need you in the future. Then we will recruit people according to the roster. By the way, aren't you from Qingye Town? You are the person in charge of Qingye Town
." Xu Shenji paused: "Of course, if anyone goes out and talks nonsense, we won't be able to find your wife, children, and children."
