"We are no longer soldiers and generals of the Song Dynasty. Now we are a group of ghosts, a group of shameless ghosts. I wish that foolish king would die now.
Okay, today someone is selling gunpowder, and tomorrow someone will sell it to Hebei, and it would be best to sell even Tokyo. Seeing the Zhao family fall apart, and the men becoming slaves and the girls being prostitutes, I can vent my hatred!"
The man with the broken arm gave the speaker a cold look and said, "Our wives and children are all in Hebei. Even if it's not for the Zhao family, we still have to think about our wives and children.
We can't go back to the Song Dynasty, but our wives and children still have to survive there. The Zhao family finally didn't do everything right and at least gave them a way to survive.
I also heard that Di Shuai took good care of the orphans and widows in Nigu Village. He asked Yun Shuai of the Western Beijing Army to borrow some land from him, and now he can barely make ends meet.
We are Qiu Ba. This life is not valuable to begin with. When we went to Liaodong, everyone knew what we were facing. Now the general is crazy. We, No. 100, can survive today only because we are focused on survival. Now the most important thing is
After surviving the hard times, there will always be a way.
Everyone, let go of the anger in your heart. Even if it is to repay Di Shuai for taking care of our wives and children, we absolutely cannot allow the national thieves to sell gunpowder to the Liao people."
The monkey-faced man nodded and said: "Old Wei is right. We are not fighting for others, but for our own wives, children, and children. Let us put aside the matter of seizing Heishan Island for the time being. The first thing to do is to destroy or recapture the gunpowder."
The man with a broken arm named Wei nodded and asked the man named Mouse: "Have you ever found out whose family that dude belongs to? I not only want to cut off his head, but also spread the news to the Central Plains.
.
Commander Yun made a solemn oath back then that he would kill everyone who sells gunpowder secretly, even if they are thousands of miles away!"
Mouse shook his head and said, "I don't know, but I heard that the caravan was very close to the Shi Shouxin family's caravan."
The monkey-faced man laughed and said: "They are indeed the same species. Shi Fatty Pig is famous for wanting money rather than his life. There should be no one close to the Shi family who has a good thing. It is just the right thing to use as a sacrificial knife for me."
Old Wei stopped the monkey-faced man from laughing, pointed at the three corpses on the ground and said: "Don't be careless. The three brothers Zhao, Lan and Li are all good soldiers in the army. Not only did they fail to succeed in the sudden attack, they also lost their lives.
He took his own life, which shows that our opponent is also a strong man. If we want to take back the gunpowder, we must take a long-term approach..."
"Wei Tou, we all listen to you. Just say what you want to do! What else are you planning? If it weren't for you, our brothers would have died in the Duck River long ago."
Before Lao Wei could finish what he said, the monkey-faced man started shouting loudly...
The yard of the Yun family's shop was also very lively. Everyone was digging holes in the yard. It was freezing cold and the soil on the ground was frozen like a rock. With a hoe, only shallow holes could be dug out.
It was a small hole, and the blade of the hoe curled up within a few strokes.
Jing Muyan threw away the hoe in his hand and said to Yun Er, who was standing nearby and watching: "Second Young Master, it's impossible. The ground is as frozen as stone. There is no way to dig a hole."
Yun Er scratched his head and said, "That's true. If the ground is frozen like this, the effect of blasting it with gunpowder won't be much better. I was wrong."
Boss Yan threw away the hoe in his hand and said with a smile: "Second Young Master, in fact, if you want to catch people alive, you don't necessarily have to use traps, tripping ropes, and fishing nets are also good. As long as you hold down their hands and feet for the first time, you don't have to worry about them.
suicide."
"Who said you can't dig holes when the ground is frozen in winter? We have already dug two of them over there." The leader of the caravan, Chen Huan, came over. When he saw Jing Muyan and Yan Boss questioning Yun Er's order, he immediately spoke out.
refute.
Jing Muyan said angrily: "The ground is so frozen and as hard as stone..."
Chen Huan curled his lips and said: "The first military order I learned in the army is not to question the superior's military order. If there is no other way, why can't we find a way?
When the marshal took us to conquer Nong Zhigao, heavy rain blocked the road, and it seemed that Nong Zhigao's army could not be stopped. We just used ropes to slip through the flash flood, and finally blocked Nong Zhigao on the road.
Already?
If the ground is too hard to dig, can't we make the ground soft before digging? The frozen ground is only about two feet above. The deeper we dig, the softer it becomes. This is an island, and most of the ground is sand.
How difficult is sand?”
Yun Er looked at Chen Huan in shock. He walked to the backyard where Chen Huan and the others were responsible. Sure enough, two pits a foot deep had been dug. There were also a large pile of firewood burning on the ground next to them. As long as the fire was still there,
After burning on the ground for a while, someone immediately moved the fire away and dug a hole easily with a hoe. When the hoe couldn't dig anymore, they moved the fire over and continued to burn...
Mr. Yan sighed and said: "This is clearly the way the craftsmen cut the rock. Except for the fact that there is no water splashed, the rest is exactly the same. I'll admit it."
The big man hung his arms and laughed: "The first group of our general's men were originally specialized in cutting stones. Jiaziying, Wu Shengjun was a soldier who repaired canals. You guys want to be higher in this field, but you have chosen the wrong person."
Already."
Yun Er shook his head and said with a smile: "It is indeed true that there are specialties in the art industry. Mr. Yan, let the digging of holes be left to these professionals. You should just do your job and design other institutions."
Mr. Yan bowed his hands and took Jing Muyan and others to prepare bows, ropes and fishing nets. The big man came over and said doubtfully: "Second Young Master, there were outsiders just now. It's hard for me to ask. What do you think we should do?"
There will be thieves here to rob, we can just use the eight-niu crossbow, ballistae, and crossbow arrows to greet them, why do we need to do these things?"
Yun Er said with a bitter face: "There is nothing we can do. This is a dumb loss. Our family is determined to suffer. People regard our family as life and death enemies, but our family cannot treat others like this. If we kill all these people, our family may
Will you really suffer retribution? Have you seen what the current emperor looks like?"
The big man nodded and said: "I know, your Majesty is bedridden now, unable to move or speak. Do you think this is retribution? The emperor, the emperor, is the son of God. Who can let him suffer retribution?"
"
There is really nothing to hide about his big buddy Yun Er, but anyone who comes from Jiaziying and the Yun family are one, and there is no even talk of interests, but life and death are tied together, so he will deal with the person he is currently dealing with.
Who said it clearly?
The big man said with a bitter face: "It seems that I really can't kill you, but young master, do you think these people will treat our family as traitors? Anyone who knows about your plan to sell gunpowder on Montenegro Island?"
Quite a few.
At the beginning, the eldest son swore that gunpowder was not allowed to be sold, and anyone who sold gunpowder would be killed. As a result, our family killed many people. Now it is unreasonable for our family to sell it ourselves."
Yun Er sat helplessly on a wooden pile and smiled bitterly: "There is no way, Sulla Hague has so many merchants and pirates in his hands, and there is no shortage of other supplies. Although our spices and wine are also unique
However, these things have nothing to do with war preparations. The only war preparation goods that are more than others are gunpowder. How can you win the trust of Sulla Hague without gunpowder?
It seems calm now, but in fact the second war between Song and Liao is about to break out. Emperor Yelu Hongji of Liao has already promised his five-year-old daughter to the seven-year-old emperor of Xixia to become the queen. Our Song Dynasty is also in the process of
To strengthen commercial exchanges with Xixia, last year alone, there were as many as six new ports for mutual trade, and even ironware was not prohibited.
Isn’t the idea just to win over Xixia so that they can carve up the Liao Kingdom together in the future?
If the situation in the Liao Kingdom is stabilized, even if Sulla and Hague give him a thousand courages, he will not dare to rebel, so give him some initial gunpowder to enhance his strength and make him bolder to rebel quickly. As long as here
If there is chaos, Linhuang Mansion of the Liao Kingdom will not be stable, and it will involve a large number of troops of the Liao Kingdom. At that time, we will be able to fish in troubled waters and capture the surrounding islands."
Listening to what Yun Er said, the big guy didn't have any good solution. He could only use Yun Er's stupid way to deal with this matter.
Due to the recent death and injury of too many people on Heishan Island, the market has gradually become deserted. The pirates have begun to buy goods. Yun Er and the big man took people to participate in this special buying.
It is said that the bodies of Hai Lianzi and the others have been burned to ashes. The manpower left on the island by Sura Hague does not seem to be keen on solving the case. They are obviously much more interested in buying Hai Lianzi's belongings. Every day
At this time, it is the festival for the island's merchants. The reason why they stay on this crisis-ridden island for a winter is to participate in this buying spree.
Because there is a big bonus in doing this, that is, the first people to leave the island after the Kaichun Island is unblocked are merchants, and the pirates will not leave the island until three days later. A calm sea without pirates is the favorite of merchants who have returned with a full load.
The Yun family's most valued commodity is undoubtedly ginseng. Sichuan is now the richest place in the Song Dynasty. The merchants and wealthy families there have almost no end to the demand for ginseng. Only the Sichuan caravan can get ginseng from Liaodong.
The Yun family's trading company, so every year after hearing the news that the Bohai Trading Company returned to Shuzhong, countless medicinal merchants would immediately gather in Chengdu, waiting to participate in the Yun family's ginseng trade.
The big man is responsible for the ginseng trade. Even if he knows that the second young master is planning to plot the island, he will not allow any mistakes in the business he is responsible for. If the business is bad, he will not be able to hold his head up at the regular meeting hosted by his wife every year.
of.
The people who accompanied Yun Er to participate in the purchase were naturally Boss Yan and Jing Muyan. Chen Huan believed that with his own escort, the shop would not have any trouble.
The cobbler recovered his health, but the frostbite on his feet was not completely healed. He ignored Yun Er's persuasion and walked into the dense woods alone. He still did not give up observing the ghostly shadows in Nigu Village. Great event, cool mobile phone waiting for you!
