Chapter 132
There were 100 people left in the bandit den on the mountain to guard the belongings, and there were only 900 people in Tong's guard when they came down from the mountain again.
900 people can deal with some small bandits in Lingnan with ease.
Although Tong Song is the leader of the team, Tong Jian is the real master of the team. With the young master of the Tong family in the team, Tong Jian really dare not take the team into danger, but he will take the initiative to avoid any bandit dens with some strength.
The persimmons only pick the soft ones, and they only pick the bandit dens with less than 500 people to attack.
No, based on the homework he had done in advance, he aimed at another small group of bandits thirty miles away.
"Young master, the younger one has screened, about thirty miles south from here, near a seaside mountain range in Nanhai County, there is a small group of bandits entrenched, about people in number, just in time for us to take this nest of bandits If you drop it, you can complete the task and return to the city."
Tong Song felt that he was bullying the few with the more, "There are only about three hundred people, and there is no bigger bandit den?"
Tong Jian understood the boy's unyielding temperament very well, but he was responsible for the personal safety of the young master, so he really didn't dare to take him to take risks.
"Young master, three hundred people is quite a lot. If you want to train the servants, you have to take your time and don't rush for quick success."
Just like the recruits who have just entered the barracks, they have no battlefield experience, they are only suitable for smooth battles, if they are allowed to fight hard against enemies of equal or stronger strength, then they will collapse.
-
On the post road to the east of Nanhai County, a fast horse galloped by, frightening passers-by to flee in a panic. Judging from the clothes on his body, he should be an officer and soldier.
Not long after, the fast horse forked into a mountain road, the mountain road was rugged, and the speed of the fast horse was not fast enough.
"Fifth Master, the messenger soldier is here."
Needless to say, Li Chengmu had already heard the sound of horseshoes. He raised his eyes and looked into the distance, and saw the winding mountain road riding towards him at different speeds.
The fast horse approached, and the messenger soldier abandoned his horse and trotted in front of Li Chengmu, cupped his hands and said, "Report to Fifth Master, the other Third Route Army has successfully captured the three bandit dens in Nanhai County, Maoling, Tietouling, and Guishan. The belongings and prisoners are being counted, and we can return tomorrow.”
"Oh." Li Chengmu was overjoyed when he heard that, "Okay, the team's combat effectiveness is getting stronger and stronger, and everyone is doing well!"
Chang Lu said with a smile: "Congratulations, Fifth Master, you have led the army well, and the hard work of bringing everyone to the South China Sea for training was not in vain."
Ever since I came to Linhai Township in Nanhai County for training, I practiced formations honestly at first, and later when I needed actual combat practice, Li Chengmu directly led everyone to suppress bandits everywhere.
However, the results are remarkable.
It can be said that the bandits in Nanhai County have been basically wiped out by them.
Of course, the harvest is quite rich, and the property captured can support the army's military pay for two years. This blood-earned business, all the recruits want to continue.
Li Chengmu smiled from the praise, but he didn't get carried away, "How is the inventory?"
Chang Lu replied with a smile: "The inventory has already been completed, and the car can be loaded immediately."
"Then you go and tell everyone to pack the car, and start off after eating some dry food to fill your stomach."
If it was Li Chengmo who was in Gyeonggi, he would never have imagined that the bandits on the border would be richer than him.
He is a son of the royal family, and his wealth is not as good as that of a bandit. No one in Gyeonggi would believe him if he said it.
"Fifth Master, do you know how many carriages were loaded with supplies this time?"
Li Chengmu looked at Chang Lu and asked with interest: "How much?"
Chang Lu raised two fingers and said with a grin: "Twenty carriages, fifteen carts filled with bare cloth and food, and five carts loaded with silver and copper coins. This batch of supplies is enough for our team to consume for at least three months."
"Haha, now I finally understand why my father always wants to raid the house!"
They ransacked the bandit's lair, which was equivalent to ransacking the house. The shortcut to get money so fast was too addictive.
"Report to Fifth Master, a sailboat has come to the sea under the cliff at the back of the mountain. It looks like a soft sail. It should be a boat from the Xiyi people." A soldier ran over to report.
"Soft sailboat? People from Xiyi?" Li Chengmu looked at Xiaobing suspiciously.
Forgive him, living in Gyeonggi since childhood, how can I know the difference between soft sails and hard sails.Not to mention Xiyi people, he had never even seen them.
Xiao Bing is a local and has worked in a shipyard, so he is more aware of the difference, so he explained: "Our Dayu's sea-going ships all have hard sails, and only Xiyi people's ships have soft sails. The speed of the ship is much faster than that of a hard sailing ship."
"Oh, what are the Xiyi people doing here?" Li Chengmu looked at Chang Lu, "Let's go and have a look."
The back mountain is steep, and there is only a very narrow and steep path leading down to the sea.
When Li Chengmu arrived at the back mountain, General Yuan Shen greeted him and said, "Fifth Master, the sailboats on the sea are coming soon, what should we do if they come up?"
It is impossible for the Xiyi people to sail their boats to this sea for no reason. Since they came here, they must have some purpose.
Li Chengmu looked down at Xiyi's sea boat and said decisively: "Let the brothers prepare. It's okay if they don't come up. If they climb up, they will be arrested immediately. As for the purpose of their coming here, we will wait for them to be arrested and tortured." Just know."
General Yuan Shen got the order to get his brothers ready, and asked Li Chengmu to hide in the bandit's house first.
Not long after, chattering voices came from the steep path, and as time passed, a figure appeared at the intersection.
Yuan Shen will hide in the dark to observe, this time there are a total of twenty Xiyi people with red hair and white skin.
After they all came up, General Yuan Shen gave an order, and dozens of soldiers rushed out to attack the Xiyi people.
It may not be the first time for the Xiyi people to come here, because they look relaxed, as if they were visiting their own back garden.
They didn't seem to have thought that there would be any changes here. When dozens of soldiers rushed out, they were completely stunned.
By the time he reacted, he had already been thrown to the ground.
Locke was the captain of the sailboat on the sea, and he walked at the back of the crew.
Encountering such an unexpected situation, his reaction speed was quite quick. Before he was thrown down, he had already pulled out the flintlock gun pinned to his thigh, but he was thrown to the ground before he could ignite it.
After being thrown down, he felt annoyed that he was unresponsive. Why did he draw the wrong weapon in such a close-range emergency?
What he should have pulled out just now was the dagger!Give the oriental native who threw him a hearty poke.
"¥%#@&..." Locke cursed.
But none of Dayu's people present could understand.
"General Yuan Shen, what bird language is this bird man speaking? Can you understand it?"
General Yuan Shen shook his head, "I've never been in contact with Xiyi people before, how can I understand the bird language spoken by Xiyi!"
Li Chengmu kept paying attention to the movement outside, and saw from the window that all the Xiyi people had been captured, so he walked out of the house.
This was the first time he had seen other races, and his eyes, heart, and mind were full of curiosity.
When Locke saw that the natives in the East couldn't understand him, he scolded them, but they couldn't understand.
It's like punching cotton with a punch, nowhere to focus, it's so aggrieved!
"This is the Xiyi people, do Xiyi people look like this?" Li Chengmu turned a blind eye to Locke's angry gaze, "Why do I look like a red-haired monster?"
Although the two parties did not understand the language, they could still see some emotions from the expressions on their faces.
Locke saw Li Chengmu's curious face, and treated him like a circus monkey to watch him, and immediately exploded, "#¥%&*@#¥!"
Li Chengmu picked out his ears, turned his head and asked his subordinates, "Which one of you understands the bird language spoken by the Xiyi people?"
Everyone present shook their heads. They used to be at the bottom and had no chance to contact the Xiyi people.
Li Chengmu looked at the Xiyi people and shook his head and sighed: "At this moment, I finally understand what the concubine mother said about learning is boundless and learning is endless."
If he knew Xiyi dialect, he wouldn't have to stare at them.
Yuan Canjun stepped forward, wanting to lean closer and speak in a low voice, but then realized that even if he spoke loudly, these Xiyi people would not be able to understand.
"Fifth Master, we have to quickly take them down and guard them. The people on the boat below find that the people who came up have not gone down. They will definitely come up to check. We have to make preparations before they come up."
Li Chengmu waved someone to take him down.
Sure enough, after half an hour, the crew below did not see their companions going down, and more than thirty red-haired and white-skinned Xiyi people came up.
This time, the same method was used to tie people up. Yuan Canjun didn't wait any longer, but ordered a team of 100 people to walk slowly down the path.
While the guards on the deck were not paying attention, Yuan Canjun and his men took advantage of this buffer time to rush up.
First of all, the people on duty were controlled, and the people in the cabin ran out when they heard the movement on the deck.
Seeing the tied up crew members on the deck, they were taken aback for a moment, then screamed and rushed towards the soldiers.
Li Chengmu hadn't figured out the reason for the red hair, white skin and blue eyes of the Xiyi people, but his brothers had already arrested all the Xiyi people in the boat.
There were a total of about a hundred crew members on the whole sailing boat, and about fifty people went up twice, and then the team ran down and caught another fifty or so Xiyi people.
Li Chengmu didn't expect to run into a big fish when he went out to suppress a bandit, what a pleasant surprise.
It's just that this is just an appetizer, and a bigger surprise is coming later.
"What?" Li Chengmu stared at Yuan Canjun with wide eyes, "Their boats are full of gold and silver?"
Yuan Canjun was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth: "In addition to food and supplies, there are more than boxes in the cabin full of gold and silver ingots. I don't know if they made money from business or searched for it somewhere?"
Anyway, this blunder and bludgeon all made them cheap.
Li Chengmu only felt his heart beating faster, and said: "Take the supplies and these people back first, and then I will write a letter to the concubine mother to ask her opinion, how to deal with this situation?"
Yuan Canjun was a little worried, "Fifth Master, I don't know which country they are from. Will our arrest cause disputes between the two countries?"
Li Chengmu frowned tightly, and it didn't take long before he relaxed, "We have already caught it, so don't scare yourself first, write to the concubine mother to ask her opinion, and you will know what to do." Done!"
Yuan Canjun speculated: "Fifth Lord, I heard that many overseas islands are occupied by Xiyi people. Do you think they are the Xiyi people who occupy the islands?"
The most important thing is that Xiyi people are a general term, and some Xiyi people are different from Xiyi people. They do not belong to the same country.
Li Chengmu waved his hands, "We don't understand what they are saying right now, so don't guess for now, pack up your things and prepare to leave, so as not to stay here with long nights and dreams."
-
Let's talk about Tong Song and his party, they hurried and rushed, and finally arrived at another bandit den thirty miles away.
It's just that when the general attack was made before dawn, they found that the mountain was unbelievably quiet.
When they climbed to the mountain, there was no one in the bandit den, rotten baskets and broken dustpans were thrown everywhere, and the scene was a mess.
"Is this someone who got there first?" Tong Jian looked at everything in front of him in astonishment, except for the voices of his own people, there was only the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers.
Tong Song kicked away the broken dustpan blocking the way at his feet, and laughed at himself, "Ha, I was taken advantage of by others."
Tong Jian was full of doubts: "Is there still a force in Lingnan that is suppressing bandits?"
It must be the concubine's personal guard camp. Now the concubine's personal guard camp is still in Fucheng and has not left the city.
He thought for a while and then muttered: "Could it be that the bandits on the road are black and white?"
Tong Song frowned in thought, and after a while his brows relaxed slightly, "It's also possible that the soldiers recruited by King Qian did it."
"They were training in the military camp on the outskirts of Fucheng, how could they come to Nanhai County?" Tong Jian shook his head and denied it without thinking.
Tong Song rolled his eyes at him, "This time they recruited 3000 people, and randomly ran out or people, you know?"
Tong Jian was taken aback when he heard the words, "Not to mention, after the young master's analysis, it is really possible that it was done by officers and soldiers."
"It's just that the officers and soldiers now think about the people and take the initiative to suppress the bandits?"
Don't blame Tong Jian for thinking this way, the officers and soldiers of the guards all over the Dayu Dynasty are bullying cowards, and they are cowardly when facing bandits and powerful enemies, but they do a very smooth job of bullying the people.
Looking around again at the bandit den where this person went to the empty building, Tong Jian asked again: "Master, what should we do now? Should we go back or find another bandit den for action?"
Tong Song: "Are there any other bandit dens around here?"
Tong Jian took out a simple map from his sleeve pocket, checked it and replied, "There is another place fifty miles away."
Fifty miles is neither close nor far. Although I have gained something this time, but not much, Tong Song felt a little unwilling to go back to the house now, "then go to this place."
The team rested in place, and after lunch, some of the servants were not reconciled, and wandered around the bandit's den, knocking here and there.
Not to mention, sometimes some people are really lucky. A servant dug out a small bag of silver in the corner of a room, about a dozen or so taels, and his eyes narrowed into lines with joy.
Seeing his happy look, Tong Song didn't ask him to hand over the money. As the future heir of the Tong family, he still doesn't like this little money.
Drive in the afternoon, spend the night in the wild, and continue on the next day.
In the middle of the morning, they encountered a team bigger than them.
As soon as the two sides met, Tong Song recognized Li Chengmu who was surrounded by his personal guards.
He rode his horse to the front of the team, cupped his hands and said, "I'm Tong Song, I've met Fifth Lord."
Li Chengmu was wondering about the origin of this team, when he heard Tong Song's voice, he took a serious look and recognized him.
He also rode forward and bowed his hands to him: "It's a pleasure to meet you, I didn't expect to meet the Tong family's team here."
Tong Song smiled and said, "It's because of fate."
"Haha, yes, fate dictates it." After laughing, Li Chengmu stared at their team, which was quite a number, and asked, "Where are you going?"
