Chapter 970: The old lady who was starved to death (9)
"Oh, the soldiers pass by like a sieve, it turns out to be true!
Let's kill them.
There is no need to be kinder anymore. Let’s discuss the next plan after killing them.”
Zhang Dou sighed, then took out the crossbow that had never been used before from the cow's back and began to shoot at the arrogant and sword-danced soldiers.
At the same time, Alaxan, and even Zhang Hui, the only girl among them, all took out the crossbows in their hands and began to shoot at the soldiers around them. Needless to say, the power of the crossbows in their hands was still twelve crossbows. Even if one or two of them were occasionally missed, most of them could still shoot.
So within a moment, most of the soldiers who had previously besieged them were quickly killed or injured.
The soldier in the lead was even shot in the forehead by Zhang Dou's first arrow and died on the spot.
In the end, there were only two, because they stood at the end and did not take action. In addition, they might be relatively timid. After the leader died, they turned around and ran away immediately and survived.
Zhang Dou and the others were too lazy to chase after him, and they couldn't catch up with him while riding the cow, so they had to give up.
"That's all for the two.
I originally thought that what my grandma said was a bit exaggerated, but now it seems that my grandma's words are even reserved, just looking at the behavior of these soldiers.
The rulers here are not worth following.
You said, we will continue to go east or south to see if there are any hidden dragons.
Then help him to pacify the world.
Or should we just gather some bandits here, pacify our hometown first, and be the master of our own country?"
Although Qiao Mu nominally asked them to start a family and start a business, Zhang Dou and the others knew very well that in this troubled era, wouldn’t it mean that they either follow the wise ruler or become a warlord?
So, he started asking.
Ask someone else’s thoughts.
"Brother, I will choose the next one. The northwest side is our hometown at least, and we can't let our hometown continue to be so dilapidated.
What's more, I guess even if the east and south are slightly better, it will only go from fishing in the waters to harvesting on time. And it has been ten years now, and the power groups there are probably already stable. Even if we go to join us, it will be difficult for us to enter the decision-making center. It is better to start again.
What about you? What do you think?"
Although Alaxan is not a local, he has lived here for many years and has long regarded this as his second hometown, so he is naturally willing to choose the second plan that Zhang Dou said.
Although it is a bit difficult to be the master of your own home and set up a stove, it is better than to join others.
At least you don’t have to rely on others.
Look at other people's faces.
And they can implement their ideas and policies naturally without convincing others.
Zhang Yun, Zhang Shi and Zhang Hui have long been used to listening to the two elder brothers. Moreover, they have lived together for more than ten years, so how could they not know Zhang Dou’s true thoughts? So they all nodded without hesitation and expressed their agreement.
"Since that's the case, let's regain the bandits near our hometown first, and hurry up and resume regional production as soon as possible. Then, as grandma said, accumulate grain and become king.
Start with the King of Mountain and take your time.”
Seeing that everyone agreed, Zhang Dou immediately started to talk about the next step of the plan, planning to start from small things and start with growing grain. In this chaotic world, grain is the real hard currency.
As long as there is enough food and is not very swaggering in the early stage, they will definitely be able to quickly pull up an army, and as long as the food is sufficient, the quality of the army will naturally be improved quickly.
Therefore, farming and accumulation of grain is the top priority.
"Okay, let's go back now, and kill all the bandits who robbed us before, and then incorporate them."
"Hey, don't worry.
Are there any horses and knives here? It’s not too late to put these things away before going.”
After two or three discussions, the five of them quickly came down from the cow and started picking up the corpses. After picking up the corpses, they specially found a lot of firewood to burn all the bodies of the soldiers, so as not to rot on the spot and breed plague again.
Wait until all these things are done.
The remaining burnt and the ashes were mixed together and buried.
Then they sat back on the cow's back, drove the horses slowly back, going to the places where they had been robbed before, and began to clean up one by one and gather people.
I worked so hard for more than half a month.
They finally officially established a copycat on the largest mountain nearby, and took the bandits who were defeated by them, and the bandits who were dissatisfied with their legs and were discounted and re-accepted, and officially started farming.
In fact, the nearby bandits were originally ordinary villagers, but because they couldn't live a life, they were not enough to grow something in the fields and were stolen by the rioters, so they became bandits. Moreover, they only came to rob each other occasionally, and most of the time they lived in the mountains to continue farming. Although the land in the mountains was barren, it was remote at least, so there was no need to worry that the rioters ran up to steal the food they planted.
Therefore, after they found that Zhang Dou had subdued them, they still asked them to farm, and even taught them to farm, and gave them some very full grains that could be harvested well, so they would not resist. All of these people obediently followed them to open the mountain and farm on the mountain. At the same time, they also organized a self-defense team to farm at the foot of the mountain, and they would farm everywhere.
As their reputation for farming in the village gradually became popular, the surrounding people had no choice but to become bandits, or they were still hiding everywhere, secretly planting one piece here and another, all the mountain people who planted one piece there were dependent on it.
You don't even need to hit.
They came to the door by themselves.
After the first batch of potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn and other crops yielded thousands of kilograms per mu, or even nearly ten thousand kilograms, under the operation of Zhang Dou, it secretly spread to some nearby villages with hundreds of miles of radius, many of the village owners rushed over with the whole village to join.
At the same time, I also want to ask for some food.
Of course, some people want to submit to them for food and some want to force rob them. However, while Zhang Dou and the others farmed, they did not forget to train their young and strong men, so those who wanted to force rob were destined to be the chicken that killed the chicken to warn the monkey.
With those people as the lessons of the past.
Zhang Dou's so-called win-win cooperation and joined forces with everyone to farm, and tried to train and organize young and strong people to resist the proposals of the chaos. It was soon approved by the nearby village leaders, but in fact, the village chiefs in the original village. Therefore, the most primitive rural collective planting cooperation base was established.
A spark of prairie fire.
