After investigation, a batch of 12 large ships were about to arrive at Baihe Pier. Each ship carried nearly 8,000 shi of grain, and the total amount was 100,000 shi. This batch of grain was obtained, which was enough to ensure that the village would not have to worry about food for two years.
Supply. And because this is a small number, there are only three to four hundred soldiers and horses accompanying them, which is not a problem given the strength of Black Wind Village.
Qin Donghe carefully selected 1,500 brothers, sneaked into the mountains in batches, and gathered in a mountainous area in Nanyang County. Then he divided his troops into two groups, and 700 people went to the vicinity of Nanyang County to ambush them all the way.
Eight hundred people stayed in the ravine for a day and a night. They deserved their luck. Because the imperial court urged them urgently, it was late in the evening when this batch of water transport arrived at Baihe Wharf. The escort officer requested that it be loaded and transported overnight, so they had to unload the ship and load the truck in the middle of the night.
Qin Donghe led 800 bandits and launched an attack under cover of night. With little effort, the dock where the bandits attacked turned into a mess. The more than 300 officers and soldiers escorted were confused and collapsed at the first touch.
Qin Donghe didn't hesitate much, pulled the loaded grain cart and ran, running all the way into the mountains.
The troops stationed in Nanyang County received the news and were about to send troops to pursue them. However, the more than 700 bandits pretended to be aggressive and attacked Nanyang County. In the dark night, the generals and county magistrates who defended the city saw torches and figures all over the mountains and plains.
Thinking that it was a large-scale attack by bandits, they immediately ordered the city to be defended.
The bandits did attack for a while, but died down soon after. However, they did not retreat. They all lined up two miles away from the city, seeming to be preparing for the next attack. The torches and figures in Mandi made the people in the city afraid.
It wasn't until a few hours later that the people at the top of the city realized something was wrong, because the figures were motionless, and the torches were extinguished one by one, and even the figures were on fire, which felt a little strange. So they cautiously sent people out of the city to spy.
Only then did I realize that there were no bandits all over the mountains and plains, they were just some simple grassroots and some torches stuck on the ground.
After learning that they had fallen into the trap, the soldiers and horses in the city tried to pursue him, but they were already delayed for two or three hours.
Qin Donghe returned with a full load, and forced his way through three checkpoints on the way back. Although more than 200 people were killed or injured, they still watched Qin Donghe's men rush into the valley before a large number of officers and soldiers arrived. They could not help but watch.
If you dare to chase after you, you can only look forward and sigh.
The success of this big adventure brought great benefits to Qin Donghe. Nearly 100,000 stones of grain, which was enough rations for the whole village to eat in a year. Several caves were filled with bags of grain.
, Qin Donghe smiled from ear to ear.
With so much food in hand, Qin Donghe immediately strengthened his waist. With food, what should he be afraid of? Qin Donghe asked the surrounding villages to supply food as a condition, asking them to rely on him. Those villages were in the crisis of running out of food, and people's hearts were
The soldiers and horses in the stronghold began to flee. How could they not agree to his conditions? In just half a month, Qin Donghe took seven strongholds into his pocket. Because the food supply was controlled, these strongholds had to be driven by Qin Donghe.
, under the coercion of Qin Donghe, launched an attack on several mountain villages that had a tough attitude and refused to rely on them.
By mid-October, Qin Donghe had already occupied a large area in the southwest corner of Funiu Mountain. Its territory was bordered by Luoyan Valley in the east and Taoyuan Dazhai in the central and west. In terms of the total number of troops in the village, it had exceeded that of Taoyuan Dazhai.
The total strength of the village and Luoyangu Dazhai.
Under such circumstances, how could Qin Donghe give up? He issued a proposal to reconvene the Funiu Mountain village meeting and re-elect the village leaders. Liang Qi also mentioned this matter to Lin Jue when he came to the capital.
Taoyuan Dazhai is actually suffering from drought. Lin Jue did come up with a method for Taoyuan Dazhai to control acidic soil. The water quality of the large lake in Taoyuan Dazhai was also purified by sprinkling lime water to neutralize it.
Treatment. But the dry weather caused the lake water to evaporate completely. The remaining lake water was evaporated and concentrated and could not be used at all. No matter how much lime was sprinkled, it was useless. The terrain of Taoyuan Dazhai was originally very good. As long as it rained a little,
The bowl-shaped terrain of the crater can collect rainwater into the large lake, so there has been no shortage of water over the years. However, with the continuous drought and not a drop of rainwater, they have no choice. The water at the bottom of the lake has been purified and barely supplied.
For human and animal use, there is no need to even think about growing crops.
Fortunately, Mu Zhenshan's family had a lot of gold and silver, so he sent his son Mu Buping to Luoyan Valley Dazhai to ask for help. This is what Liang Qi said about Gao Muqing selling grain. In fact, Gao Muqing did the same.
Not wanting Taoyuan Dazhai to fall into famine, she strictly implemented what Lin Jue told him before leaving. By uniting with Taoyuan Dazhai and using Mu Zhenshan's position as leader, she could stabilize the situation in the mountains and ensure the development of Luoyan Valley.
However, Gao Muqing was too kind and did not know how to adapt. If Lin Jue was on the mountain, this relief would not be as simple as buying and selling food. If Mu Zhenshan's body hurts if he doesn't knock, it would be an advantage for him. Lin Jue and Liang Qi that day
As I said, food cannot be sold, it can only be exchanged for things. Lin Jue is talking about strategic materials such as armor and weapons, which are non-renewable in Funiu Mountain. As one's own strength becomes stronger, the opponent becomes more convenient.
Weak, because the other party has no way to supplement it.,
But in fact, Lin Jue still didn't say a word. Lin Jue originally wanted to say that since those cottages were short of food and could not feed the people, they would send all the people to Luoyan Valley and Luoyan Valley Village would feed them. This is murderous execution.
If there are no villagers in a large village, then it is a dead village. Once the people live in Luoyan Valley, will they be willing to leave? So how do the villagers in the village support themselves?
Even with the support of Luoyan Valley Dazhai, the situation in Taoyuan Dazhai was not good. Under this situation, Qin Donghe of Heifeng Village put forward the request to re-elect the leader of the alliance, and received the support of more than a dozen mountain village leaders.
In response, Mu Zhenshan had no choice but to agree to convene a village meeting in order to settle the matter.
What Mu Zhenshan was thinking was that even if Heifeng Village was strong now, after all, there were more Dazhai in the north and east on his side. With Luoyan Valley Dazhai having stronger troops and horses to support him, even if the leader of the alliance was re-elected, it would not be enough.
Will let Qin Donghe succeed.
But what Mu Zhenshan didn't expect was that Luoyan Valley Dazhai refused to participate in this alliance meeting. Gao Muqing's reason was simple. There was no need to do what Heifeng Village wanted. The leader of the alliance had been decided for three years at the last alliance meeting.
With one choice, there is no need to listen to Qin Donghe's fuss.
Gao Muqing was obviously not experienced enough in handling this matter. After Lin Jue left, Gao Muqing basically concentrated on the internal affairs of the village. She did not have a deep understanding of the balance and relationship between the major villages in Funiu Mountain. She also
Unexpectedly, the balance of strength in the cottage has changed. Luoyan Valley and Taoyuan Dazhai need to unite more closely to make Heifeng Village restrained. At this time, they must maintain the same front with Taoyuan Dazhai no matter what.
, will make Qin Donghe afraid.
In fact, when he learned that Gao Muqing rejected the news of reuniting the alliance, Qin Donghe was keenly aware of this. He believed that this was a gesture from Luoyan Valley Dazhai, indicating that the relationship between Luoyan Valley Dazhai and Taoyuan Dazhai
The relationship between the two is not monolithic. At this time, Luoyangu Dazhai stayed out of the matter, which gave him an opportunity to take advantage of.
Mu Zhenshan did not expect that Gao Muqing rejected the request of the alliance. Without the participation of Luoyangu Dazhai, the alliance meeting could not be held. Because without the strong support of Luoyangu, it would be difficult to maintain the position of leader of Taoyuan Dazhai.
.Under this situation, Mu Zhenshan had to regret and refused the request to convene a copycat alliance meeting. He could not do so before convincing Gao Muqing, otherwise he would hand over the position of alliance leader to others.
This move immediately gave Qin Donghe an excuse. Qin Donghe incited the large and small cottages to make various claims, saying that Mu Zhenshan was dishonest and had reneged on his promises. He said that Mu Zhenshan did not care about the lives of the cottages, and that he originally wanted to join the alliance.
He discussed how to use the food he robbed to help the affairs of the various cottages, but Mu Zhenshan treated a gentleman with a villain's heart, no matter that the brothers in the cottage were in famine, for fear of losing his position as leader. This was a waste of human life.
, an act that disregarded the life and death of others. It was said that Mu Zhenshan's move was unethical and he was not worthy of being the leader of the alliance at all.
Countries of different sizes who didn't know the truth came out to accuse Mu Zhenshan. Taoyuan Dazhai could only respond with silence because they couldn't explain clearly. But the more silent they were, the more suspicious they became. I felt that Taoyuan Dazhai was acquiescing. The whole Funiu Mountain
There was an uproar and commotion all of a sudden.
Finally, the final farce was staged. Under Qin Donghe's suggestion, more than 30 cottages jointly issued a request to hold an alliance conference in Heifeng Village. Qin Donghe pretended to decline, but of course finally agreed to their request and sent a message to all parties.
Shanzhai sent out an invitation to hold this alliance conference in Heifeng Village.
Taoyuan Dazhai and Luoyangu, as well as more than a dozen cottages that followed the lead of these two cottages, naturally ignored them, but Qin Donghe did not force them. In their absence, the Funiu Mountains Alliance in Heifeng Village gathered
It was successfully held. Not only was the meeting lively and lively, but Qin Donghe was eventually elected as the leader of the Funiu Mountain villages.
Faced with this kind of result, Mu Zhenshan naturally could not accept it. Qin Donghe refused to do anything and sent someone to give Mu Zhenshan an ultimatum, asking him to evacuate Taoyuan Dazhai and establish a foothold in the branch village, because he was the leader of the alliance and Taoyuan Dazhai.
The place where the stronghold is located is the burial place of the ancestor of Hou Shu, and it should be guarded by the leader of the alliance.
Of course Mu Zhenshan could not agree to such an unreasonable request. In fact, Qin Donghe did not expect him to agree at all. He was just looking for an excuse for himself to send troops. Amid the apparent quarrel between the two sides, Qin Donghe had secretly done
All preparations were made to attack Taoyuan Dazhai. Worried that Luoyangu would intervene, Qin Donghe also made some preparations in advance. He sent people to Beishan Dazhai to make peace with Bao Meng. Bao Meng had no brains in the first place and was beaten
Qin Donghe was deceived by some sweet words and a large amount of supplies, and unintentionally served as a tool for Qin Donghe to spy on Luoyan Valley Dazhai's intentions. This also let Qin Donghe know that the entire Luoyan Valley Dazhai was only focused on
He would not easily interfere in the affairs of the mountain village. This news made Qin Donghe firm in his decision to send troops to destroy Taoyuan Dazhai.
So, when the New Year came, Qin Donghe took a look at this day that made people feel lazy, and launched a brazen attack on Taoyuan Dazhai. Qin Donghe was bound to win, and dispatched three thousand soldiers to attack Taoyuan Dazhai.
.At the same time, he also made preparations to prevent Luoyan Valley Dazhai from sending troops, and sent two thousand soldiers to set up an ambush around the mountain road leading to Taoyuan Dazhai from Luoyan Valley to prevent unexpected events.
This battle was quite bloody. The advantageous geographical location occupied by Taoyuan Dazhai played its role. The troops of Heifengzhai started attacking from the third day of the Lunar New Year and continued until the sixth day of the Lunar New Year. They attacked several times a day, and the average number of attacks was
They failed to succeed. Both sides suffered heavy casualties. Finally, Qin Donghe decided to make a desperate move. He withdrew the two thousand soldiers and horses that were originally used to set up an ambush to prevent the Luoyan Army from being rescued. Because there was no movement in the Luoyan Valley after several days of fighting, this has shown that
They won't take action anymore.
The addition of these two thousand soldiers and horses immediately completely reversed the stalemate war. Even with the complete advantage of the location, Taoyuan Dazhai's numerical disadvantage could not be compensated. One of Qin Donghe's men came up with an idea and used a rope connection method.
Connect more than a hundred village soldiers with ropes, so that they can break through the magma tunnels and pits hidden in the woods around the volcano that Taoyuan Dazhai relies on for defense. If one person falls, the others can pull him up to protect each other.
Qin Donghe adopted this method. After paying the price of more than a hundred people falling to death, a death squad composed of five hundred gangsters broke through the forest line and arrived at the crater. These five hundred people quickly cleared the forest
The defenders on the climbing trail. In the end, more than 4,000 soldiers broke through the most difficult level and climbed under the crater wall.
The next thing was much simpler. Although the Taoyuan Dazhai crater had a city wall, because the number of guards was too small and the area to be defended was too large, it was easily broken through by Qin Donghe's divided troops.
On the eighth day of the lunar month, Taoyuan Dazhai's outer stronghold was breached, and thousands of Black Wind strongholds poured into the volcanic valley. Mu Zhenshan gathered more than a thousand remaining soldiers to retreat to the inner stronghold town and refused to defend, and the battle was fierce.
On the 9th day of the 9th day and the 10th day of the lunar month, after two days of bloody fierce fighting, the soldiers of the Black Wind Village broke through the inner village. Seeing that the situation was over, Mu Zhenshan ordered his son Mu Buping to lead his men to break through and escape from the Tianti Cliff in the back mountain. Mu Zhenshan himself led more than a hundred people
He fought to the death and was hacked to death by Qin Donghe's men.
So far, after more than three months of adventure and planning, Qin Donghe's adventure has received huge rewards. After wiping out Taoyuan Dazhai, Qin Donghe's Black Wind Village has become the overlord of Funiu Mountain.
It is the strongest in terms of strength, and at the same time it also occupies the commanding heights morally. Large and small cottages have shown their allegiance to each other, and some cottages that were originally on good terms with Taoyuan Dazhai were forced to bow their heads due to the situation. In Funiu Mountain, except Luoyan,
Except for Gu Dazhai, Beishan Dazhai and the four nearby mountain villages, they were all captured by Qin Donghe.
In fact, from the beginning to the end, Gao Muqing and others in Luoyan Valley Dazhai were aware of the actions of Heifeng Village. There was also an endless debate within the Luoyan Army about whether to rescue or not. One group of people believed that Taoyuan Dazhai must be rescued to stop Heifeng Village.
Otherwise, once Taoyuan Dazhai is destroyed, Qin Donghe’s next target will definitely be Luoyangu Dazhai. Those who hold this opinion are Liang Qi and Ruan Ping. But the other group, led by Gao Muqing, believes that Luoyan Army
The current strength is insufficient. If there is still time to rely on strong fortifications to protect ourselves, if we send troops to fight Heifeng Village, I am afraid it will be extremely reluctant. The strength of the soldiers and horses of the village leader is actually not good, except for hundreds of brothers from the original Guishan Island Dazhai.
, the rest are surrendered troops or recruited from the common people, and their combat effectiveness is also worrying. It is difficult to gain a foothold. If all the capital to establish a foothold is used up, all the previous efforts will be in vain. Gao Muqing's idea is to build a defense with all his strength.
System, defend the dangerous places on both sides of Luoyan Valley, and the best policy is to ensure the safety of the village first.
In fact, both opinions have their own reasons, and each also has its own emphasis and concerns. But it is obvious that Gao Muqing's ideas tend to be conservative and are typical of those who have a short-sighted view. Of course, this is different from Gao Muqing's experience in the past two years.
Related. After witnessing the disintegration of Dazhai on Guishan Island, as well as the various risks of settling in Funiu Mountain, and seeing so many brothers dying in front of his eyes, what Gao Muqing wanted to do most was to let the remaining brothers and those who followed him go.
The villagers can live a stable life and enjoy peace and tranquility. She does not want them to die again, and does not want to end up back to the original point, because she has devoted all her emotions and strength to this cottage, and she cherishes it.
However, Gao Muqing did not consider the overall situation. When the Heifengzhai family dominates, Luoyan Valley will become a thorn in his side and must be removed by him. Under such circumstances, how can there be tranquility and peace.
Lin Jue made a judgment for Gao Muqing before. He said that Gao Muqing was not suitable to be the leader of the village because her vision was limited and her heart was too kind. In fact, Gao Muqing had to sit in this position because of her.
It is the identity of the daughter of Gao Lao Village Leader. Sometimes your identity forces you to sit in a certain position, because other people follow this identity, not your talent. This is actually easy to understand.
Just like the position of the emperor, even if he is a child with a yellow mouth, or even a mentally retarded person, as long as he is of royal blood, he will be convinced by everyone as the emperor. Others, no matter how capable and capable you are, because you are not a legitimate heir of the royal family.
, then you are all rebellious officials and traitors, and there will always be people who are unwilling to submit to you.
Another point is that Gao Muqing herself understands that she is afraid of making the wrong decision and ruining everything. If Lin Jue is around, she can still rely on her. She will definitely agree to what Lin Jue says. Unfortunately, Lin Jue is far away in the capital.
Although he gave some guidance through letters, the distance was too far and it was inconvenient to exchange letters, so he could not get his guidance in time. Therefore, Gao Muqing could only make decisions based on his own judgment.
Liang Qi and Ruan Pingping did not dare to argue too much. After all, there are extremely strict rules in the village, and there are extremely strict regulations on the authority of the village leader. Opinions can be raised, but once the village master makes a decision
The decision must be implemented. Under this situation, in the end, according to Gao Muqing's idea, the Luoyan Army stood still and went all out to build defensive fortifications without interfering in the disputes outside. Therefore, they watched Taoyuan Dazhai be attacked by Heifeng Village.
Annihilation.
Of course, when Mu Buping, the second leader of Taoyuan Dazhai, fled to Luoyan Valley with a small number of men, Gao Muqing took him in and let him avoid trouble and establish himself in Luoyan Valley. Mu Buping had no choice but to die if he rejected him.
Gao Muqing can't let herself do that. This is actually the contradiction in Gao Muqing's character. Since you have not taken action to save Taoyuan Dazhai, why should you take in Mu Buping? Doesn't this give Qin Donghe an excuse? This kind of
I am afraid that only a woman can do this contradictory behavior. Soon after, Qin Donghe asked Gao Muqing for help, and used this as a reason to launch a large-scale attack on Luoyan Valley Dazhai. This was the excuse left at this time. However, that
