Chapter Nineteen Catch One, Run One

Lin Dong thought for a moment and immediately ordered: "Go and collect all the water and wine on the mountain for me."

The soldiers thought Lin Dong was preparing to celebrate the ceremony, so they ran out happily, and soon someone came with a large jar of wine.

What was disappointing was that Lin Dong did not hold any celebration banquet, but immediately asked someone to find two big pots and a large wooden barrel without bottom. He quickly dug a small hole in the wall of the barrel, inserted a bamboo into the hole, and placed a wooden board with grooves in the barrel to connect it with the bamboo.

"It's done!" Lin Dong said, pressing the wooden barrel upside down on the big pot, and after washing it, he ordered people to pour all the rice wine they had just moved into the big pot.

After pouring the rice wine, Lin Dong asked someone to clean the bottom of the small pot and then put it on the wooden barrel.

In this way, two large pots, one small and one large, were connected together by a wooden barrel, and a simple distillation device was made out by him.

After finishing the distillation device, Lin Dong immediately asked someone to pour water into the small pot on it.

"Go and find some jars."

The soldier looked at Xinqi and immediately took action when he heard the order. He quickly found some jars and jars and placed them under the bamboo according to Lin Dong's instructions.

You know, in the Ming Dynasty, the alcohol content was very low. If used directly, it would not meet the disinfection standards at all. With this simple distillation device to concentrate rice wine, the alcohol concentration will also be greatly increased. After distilling a few more times, it should not be a problem to use it for disinfection.

The soldiers followed Lin Dong's instructions and set off a fire under the big pot, and the aroma of wine quickly floated up.

Smelling the strong smell of wine, everyone leaned over curiously, their faces full of intoxication.

"General, are you going to reward the army? This wine is so fragrant. I have never smelled such fragrant wine."

"These are not for drinking." Lin Dong smiled and shook his head.

"Not to drink?"

Lin Dong nodded slightly and said, "The brothers were seriously injured. These are used to disinfect the wounds of the brothers."

The soldiers have heard the word disinfection countless times, but they have never understood the specific meaning of disinfection.

"Disin the wound?" Everyone was stunned. If such good wine was sold, I wonder how much money I could exchange for. The general actually used it to disinfect the wound? Wouldn't that be a waste? It would be better to drink it in your stomach.

"Yes, if the wound is not disinfected in time, it is easy to be infected and may even take human life. After disinfection, the chance of infection will be reduced and the brothers will be healed quickly." Lin Dong explained with a smile.

In this ancient times with minimal conditions, alcohol disinfection was the easiest way he could think of.

Although the soldiers did not agree with Lin Dong's words, the soldiers did not object. For so long, he and others could rarely understand what he said, but the facts proved that these words were basically correct.

Those seriously injured soldiers have been sent to the hospital for treatment.

All those who were left were only suffering from some skin trauma. After Lin Dong disinfected the wound with alcohol, he asked someone to bandage the wounded first and then go back for further treatment.

After a busy afternoon, all the soldiers had returned.

"Report to the general and arrested a living person." At this moment, a soldier reported loudly.

"Oh, bring it up." Lin Dong was quite surprised that there was still someone who didn't run away.

He had long hated these bandits who almost cost him and his relatives his life. Since he had caught the living, he naturally had to interrogate them carefully.

When the man was thrown in front of him, his face became strange because the man turned out to be a scholar.

Although the scholar's clothes on this man were a little torn, they could not hide his identity and were recognized by Lin Dong at a glance.

"I think you are also a person with great fame, why do you recognize a thief as your father?" Lin Dong's face looked a little ugly.

If those refugees were bandits, he could understand it, but why did the other party, a scholar and a person from the Ming Cult, become a thief?

"God of your life, general, spare your life, the villain is forced to do so. If the young one refuses to follow, they will hit me." The man begged pitifully.

"So, you are not willing to be a bandit?" Lin Dong's face relaxed a little.

"Of course, although I, Su Yi, was born in a poor family, but I was very wise. But I was just a person who was the slaughter and I was a fish. If I didn't follow them, they would have to sacrifice my life. For the sake of my life, I could only give in. During this period of time on the mountain, I was tortured by them in various ways. I lived like a year, and I waited for the official army to wipe out this group of bandits and give me freedom. Today I finally waited for the general. It was a blessing for villains and the blessing for all the people." As I said that, I burst into tears again.

The master cried half-truely, and even praised Lin Dong for a few words, even Wan Min said it.

Lin Dong was speechless about this. I, Lin Dong, didn’t abuse you, so why are you crying?

However, after being disturbed by him, Lin Dong's resentment became much smaller, and he no longer made things difficult for him and asked him to stand up and speak.

For a modern person, he has no feeling of kneeling down, and he is really not used to the behavior of the ancients, and he doesn't pay so much attention to it.

The master has been in the bandit's nest for so long and has learned to observe his expressions. Seeing Lin Dong's face slowed down, he breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that his life was finally saved.

In fact, he was a poor scholar. He was hungry and full on weekdays. He lived a bad life by helping others copy and write. After being caught by the bandit, he still had some backbone at first. However, when the bandit launched a sugar-coated cannonball attack, he could not withstand the temptation of the daily big fish and meat, and became a master in the village.

Not to mention, Master Mao is really good. Since he was on the mountain, the accounts that had been made into a mess by the bandits immediately became clear when they arrived in his hands and were ready for inquiries, and there would be no mistakes.

However, there were a group of rash men on the mountain. These bandits did not look good at this weak master. They usually called him and whispered him. If they didn't understand, they would either beat him or scold him.

The boss of Canglang saw it and did not interfere, which made the bandits even worse. If the master hadn't had some skills, he would have been beaten to death by those bandits long ago.

Fortunately, the food on the mountain is really good. He had never had the last meal before. Since becoming a bandit, he has been full of wine and meat and has never been hungry again.

Seeing that Lin Dong didn't say anything, Su Yi had an idea and said, "The general just captured the mountain village. I believe that he has not counted the bandits' property. If the general trusts him well, why don't I count the property for the general?"

Don’t worry, check out if the bandit leader is here?

Lin Dong asked the bandits to gather the bodies of the bandits and let the master identify them one by one.

Soon, the master counted all the corpses and said with an ugly look on his face: "General, one ran away."

"What?" Lin Dong's eyelids twitched, and a bad premonition came to his heart.

"Who ran away?"

"Boss Canglang..." The master said with an ugly expression.

"It's him..." Although Lin Dong had met with Boss Canglang, it was too dark after all and it was hard to see it clearly.

At this time, I heard that the eldest son of Canglang ran away was very depressed and did not catch the thief. In this chaotic world where refugees were everywhere, as long as he climbed the high place and shouted, a group of people would soon gather, and this person would never let him go.

"General, leave this matter to me..." The black bear saw the thief run away, his face looked extremely ugly.

"No need, it's too late to chase after him now. As long as he doesn't leave Andong County, one day I will catch him." Lin Dong shook his head slightly. It's been almost five or six hours since Canglang escaped. The thief-head Canglang was familiar with the terrain and had already run away. Where can I chase him?

After hearing what he said, the joy of victory was also diluted a lot. Everyone clenched their fists and swore that they would catch Canglang next time.

"Go in and search to see if there are any fish that have missed the net."

What happened just now, everyone did not dare to be careless, agreed in unison, ran into the copycat and started searching.

Soon, a fat man with big tie was lifted up.

"It's him!" Lin Dong recognized the person in front of him at a glance. It was the fat man who was caught by the bandit yesterday.

At this time, the fat man was already dying, lying on the ground like a dead dog, opened his eyes slightly and looked at Lin Dong, then his head tilted and fainted.

Lin Dong frowned slightly and ordered the soldiers to take him down, then he went into the warehouse with Su Yi.

He just happened to be missing a accountant. If Su Yi had this ability, he wouldn't mind giving him a chance, but he didn't know if Su Yi could look down on his team training envoy.

Seeing that he brought him into the warehouse, Su Yi finally let go of his heart and began to count the property in front of Lin Dong.

According to the rules set by Lin Dong, all the spoils in Anton's army were returned to the public, so all the spoils were also concentrated in the warehouse.

This place has long been guarded. In the Anton Army, rules are greater than everything. Although the property is touching, no one dares to do corruption.

As for the military pay of the Andong Army, the army was directly responsible for it. Unfortunately, Lin Dong was too poor before and did not pay the military pay.

Fortunately, there are famines everywhere now, and the local warriors who joined the army did not expect Lin Dong to give them military pay. As long as they are full, they will be fine.

If you want to say, Su Yi is really capable. In less than an hour, he cleared out all the accounts and sent them to Lin Dong.

Lin Dong took the account and took a look. The gains this time were really great.

According to the records in the accounts, the cash silver alone is as huge as thousands of taels, plus the total silver notes is more than 13,000 taels.

When Lin Dong was most happy, there were thousands of stones of grain and countless weapons on the mountain. Not to mention how many soldiers these weapons can be equipped, with this food, he could expand the number of village heroes and expand his strength.

In addition, there was another surprise, that was, there were several bird guns placed in the corner of the warehouse.

These bird guns are not valued by bandits. They are thrown in the corner like garbage. When they are turned out, many of them are already rusted, and obviously no one is taking care of them.

But as a modern person, Lin Dong knew the power of firearms. Since he got them now, he naturally regarded them as treasures. He immediately asked someone to put them away and check them carefully when he went back.

The soldiers were a little disdainful when they saw that he valued these firearms so much.

In the Ming army's opinion, firearms are useless things. When fighting a war, nothing else is except listening to a sound.

In the end, they had to rely on them to fight to kill the enemy with real swords and spears, but the musketeers were completely marginalized.

Although these rural soldiers had never been soldiers before, because the reputation of musketeers was so bad that they spread around the world, musketeers became synonymous with waste and spread throughout society.

After some trouble, it was getting late. Lin Dong brought the village soldiers and the seized food and property back to the schoolyard, and the master named Su Yi was also brought back by him.

He was originally worried that Su Yi would not want to follow him, but unexpectedly, when he said his thoughts, Su Yi agreed without hesitation.
