Jin Shiqi pointed his hand to the other side of the Hongshui River. Everyone looked over and saw that the bank was filled with more than a dozen large grain piles.

At this moment, except for the people in the "Beipo Village" who laughed loudly, the mountain people in the other villages really couldn't figure out how to make thousands of stones and more than ten thousand bags of food cross the turbulent river and reach the other side overnight!

There is no bridge on this river!

"Those grains were still sleeping in Pingyang Town last night! But after dawn today, they flew over!" Jin Shiqi paused, "Do you know how to do it?"

The scene was peaceful.

"I don't know either!" Jin Shiqi shouted.

"Even if it's a miracle!" Jin Shiqi raised his hand high, "I once promised Hua Po that if she could protect Qianjiang County from being attacked and killed, I would donate a temple! Now I swear to all the people present.

, I, Jin Shiqi, will build a temple where the grain is accumulated after the bridge is opened! I will also go to Liuzhou to ask for a golden statue, and we will worship Hua Po’s incense!"

He spoke this paragraph fast and fiercely, with a huge amount of information! It overwhelmed everyone in an instant! Different information flashed in everyone's head, but in the end they all converged into one: the war is over

, the bank of the Red Water River will become a place of divine blessing!

Finally, everyone started shouting wildly, and the cheers came like waves. Tens of thousands of mountain people turned into a human bridge and pushed Jin Shiqi into the sky.

"Calm down!" Jin Shiqi raised his right hand to calm down the crazy atmosphere. "I'm done talking! Now, let's start counting people and signing signatures!"

The mountain people have 10 villages, and currently 6 have joined Jin Shiqi's construction plan, 4 of which are personally led by the "king". Each village has an average share of 5,000 taels, which is more than their two-year income. And Jin Shiqi promised

The money they received was real money, so of course it was regarded as a top priority by each village.

At this moment, the sun was rising, the mountain breeze was warm, and thousands of mountain people formed a crooked queue. The people sent by Lanmao helped count the number of people, and they were checking the terms of the contract on the stage, and they were very busy. Every day

When a Dazhai contract is signed, Jin Shiqi will point out a stack of "silver coupons" and hand them to the king. He said that the silver will be distributed monthly within six months, and the silver coupons will be a token.

"Receive silver coupons" - Jin Shiqi realized many years later that this thing was his greatest invention in the late Ming Dynasty.

But at this moment, he only regards it as a token. He just makes the signing process more formal and enhances some prestige. The "silver coupon" is cut from the best Jiangnan silk and satin. The light gold satin is originally from

The gift Jin Shiqi gave to Lan Mao was taken back by him, and he cut it into a banner one foot long and two inches wide. He also asked Carpenter Su to work overtime until the early morning to carve a "engraved block" for printing. The format is as follows -

—

Above the center yang are three big characters: "Receive Silver Coupon"

Below it are four medium-sized characters: "One hundred taels of silver"

The next line of small words reads: "Juntun Construction Project in Qianjiang County, Liuzhou, Guangxi. Get a silver discount with this coupon."

Handwritten at the bottom: "No. 001, June 23rd, Sixth Year of Tianqi"

Finally, a big bright red seal must be stamped: "Jin Shiqi Seal of Shuiying Dusi, Liuzhou, Guangxi"

Jin Shiqi also has an official seal of "Nandan Guard Qianhu", but he doesn't dare to use it. That identity is too sensitive and can easily be hacked. Although the workmanship of the silver certificate is simple and rough, he is not afraid of being forged because the circulation is only 300 pieces.

(30,000 taels), each number is recorded on the contract. This thing is actually just an incidental to the contract, not a real currency.

A chief shouted: "Jindusi, if this silver bar is stained or bitten by a mouse, will the silver still count?"

"A white note?" Jin Shiqi said with a smile: "This white note is a token. Please keep it. It's our first time doing business, so it's better to be safe." He thought to himself: Well, it is indeed a white note. But don't worry, mountain fellows, I am the foreman.

I will never default... I don't dare to provoke your army of debt collectors.

When the kings saw that Jin Shiqi was speaking seriously, they hurriedly carried the white slips close to their bodies. Each one was worth a hundred taels. Soon they all had bulging bellies, pointing at each other and laughing. "You have a baby in your belly!"

You do too, both of you!"

…

Suddenly, there was a noise in the distance.

Everyone hurriedly turned around: in the fields to the east, there was a vague silhouette of a person a few miles away.

The "signing site" that was full of joy just now suddenly fell silent. The kings and leaders of each village looked over there and began to whisper to each other. The atmosphere was a bit tense. Soon someone rushed to report: That is the fierce red hoof.

The men and horses of the village retreated from the mountain pass. People from the other three villages also retreated behind them.

The bump is coming!

Jin Shiqi's heart suddenly lifted.

He conducted a war game last night and guessed that Mengkan would never give up. The hero wanted to establish his power in one battle, subdue all the villages, and dominate southern Xinjiang. Now the other villages have come to make money with Jin Shiqi.

It's too late, Na Mengkan will never curse "You are all pigs and I hate you" and then lead his troops to retreat. He will definitely do something.

Now he's here!

Good to come! It would have been better for him to go to Qianjiang County. But what can he do now? On the south bank of the Hongshui River are the business partners of Jin Shiqi's six villages, and they all carry I-Tiaos stamped by Jin Shiqi!

Sure enough, the kings and leaders all gathered around to find Blue Mammoth, pointing at the approaching team in the distance and making noises. They were very worried, who knew whether the monster would go crazy and charge towards him.

"Hurry up and form a formation! You're talking nonsense!" Jin Shiqi growled. But he couldn't be too aggressive at the moment. If the situation changed, he could easily be cut down.

Lan Mao and the kings of each village were shouting for a while, as if they had reached some consensus, and they all left aggressively. Lan Mao came over and said to Jin Shiqi: "Don't be afraid of them! There are many of us, so we will line up."

"Peace is the most important thing!" Jin Shiqi warned. "Brother Lan Mao, unless you have three times more soldiers, don't force yourself."

Lan Mao dealt with it for a few times, then summoned a few men and asked them to go to Mengkan, Mo Tusi and other four villages to contact him. Lan Mao's meaning was very clear: Our Sixth Village is going to make money, and I won't accompany you, Brother Mengkan.

It’s time to play. Now you have to pass here and we will give you a warm send-off. If you dare to show off, we are not afraid in large numbers!

At the same time, the men and horses of the six villages began to move around and form a formation... In Jin Shiqi's eyes, it was not a formation: it was just that each village gathered in a group, 2 miles south of the Hongshui River.

Six groups of people were lined up in a dark mass on the wide field, forming a parallelogram with a left wing protruding forward.

Facing the direction of the attack are Beipo, Bloodstone, and Broken Horns in front. Their equipment is better, and Beipo is at the front. Behind them are Iron Scale, Bengshan, and Fangs. They were originally here to do hard work.

Only half of the money earners were armed. These three villages were staggered diagonally behind the front line to provide cover.

Now Mengkan's troops are closer.

The spears in the sky above the team can also be seen clearly one by one.

The soldiers and horses of "Hongti Village" are the strongest among the ten major villages. The armored soldiers on both wings are all on horseback. The barefoot soldiers in the center have also been trained for many years, and they are definitely not like the serfs who were brought directly from the fields in other villages.

.This Mengkan was very ambitious and he had worked hard in the army.

There were soldiers and horses from the other three villages, slowly following behind. They were spread out widely. I didn’t know whether to separate and evacuate, or to separate and outflank... Especially the old villain Mo Tusi’s Nanpo Village, there were ten

He has the largest number of people in Dazhai. It is said that he can mobilize three thousand barefoot soldiers. I just hope that he will not attack his nephew.

Jin Shiqi followed Lan Mammy and also brought his own strong soldiers.

Jin Shiqi only has 30 people, half of them are craftsmen, and they have already boarded the ship. If anything goes wrong, they will run away. The remaining 15 are all elite soldiers, and they are led by Feng Hu, carrying 4 boxes of grenades (

Apocalypse Six-type trial production model), with 6 boxes of hundreds of tigers running with arrows, and carrying 8 fire blunderbuss.

"You are going to make a meritorious deed again!" Jin Shiqi roared with great momentum, "I have a premonition!"

Immediately afterwards, the rumble of horse hooves was heard.

Jin Shiqi was tall. He looked over the heads of the people in the front rows and saw that there were more than a hundred cavalry on each wing of the Hongtizhai brigade. They were all wearing leather and iron armor, and single swords and carbines were hung on the saddles.

"What are they riding on...donkeys?" Jin Shiqi secretly thought, "So short!" He has seen Guangxi's local horses several times at the construction site and in the county in the past few days, and most of them are half a head shorter than the horses in Liaodong. He himself

I thought it was due to individual factors. Some horses are picky and malnourished. Now that I see the cavalry mounts, I realize that it is a difference in breed. But they are horses after all. They are at least twice as fast as people when sprinting. If they hit them, they can

Knocking people off should never be taken lightly.

There is also the central infantry array of the Red Hooves. There are dozens of rows across the width and depth, with a total of more than a thousand people. The front half of the array is lined with spears, and the shiny spearheads are raised like a field of stars. Jin Shiqi disappeared.

I have never seen a spear that long. If it were laid flat, it would be two feet long!

Especially the soldiers in the front rows, although their clothes are messy and worn, are all covered with rattan armor on their upper bodies. They also carry swords, daggers and ropes around their waists. They must be trained soldiers who will have further tactics after entering the battle.

Movement. And Jin Shiqi was even more aware that the momentum of those soldiers was obviously different from that of other villages. The solemn and indifferent faces were clearly shrouded in murderous intent.

The soldiers and horses of Hongti Village finally came to a slow stop, 150 steps away from here. This distance is exactly the distance from which bows and arrows are fired. The two formations are so opposed, clearly hostile! And in the fields and foothills in the distance,

The soldiers and horses of the other three villages also slowed down.

Immediately afterwards, a wave of people from the army in Hongti Village parted, and someone came out from behind.

"Mengkan!" someone shouted from the front.

With a "wow" sound, the array of mountain soldiers in front of Jin Shiqi shook at the same time, as if the wind was blowing through the grass. Jin Shiqi quickly raised his feet and looked over, only to see the enemy's formation separated from it, and a colorful shadow emerged.

When it came out, it was a human!

That’s right, it’s one!

Huge! His huge figure is more like a hairless bear than a human. Although he is not extremely tall, his stature is double the width of an ordinary person. His arms are spread out, nearly one foot!

Especially against those short mountain people, he looked more like a bear standing among a group of monkeys.

The moment they looked at each other, Jin Shiqi couldn't help but feel a sense of fear! He secretly thought: "What a bear! This kind of character should only exist in the world of 'Journey to the West'!"

His hair was tied up in a high bun, he was covered with a layer of iron armor, and he held an iron spear in each hand. He staggered a few steps and walked to the front of the formation. He thrust the two spears into the ground, and then

Just yell something!

Even though we were 150 steps away, we could still hear the roar clearly! It was like millions of stones rolling down the hillside.

Jin Shiqi quickly grabbed Lan Mao next to him, "What did he say?"

Lan Mao said softly: "He said: Lan Mao come out and speak!"

"You are Blue Mammoth!"

"I know!" Lan Mao growled, sweat dripping from his forehead.

Jin Shiqi's heart was beating wildly. He stared at the monster in the distance and thought: If my dear Shijun were here... I would hug him tightly and not let him rush up to me! I would never let him go.

You're risking your own brother's life! This kind of monster should be shot to death with 100 firecrackers!

Jin Shiqi shouted: "Lam Mao, listen, he called you again!"

"I know!" Lan Mao was wiping two daggers. It seems that these mountain leaders want to pretend to be heroes and challenge each other! Have you watched too much Romance of the Three Kingdoms?

Jin Shiqi said: "Don't be so pretentious! If you invite him out, as long as he comes 50 steps further, I will shoot him to death with a rocket!"

Lan Mao glared at him, "That's not what a man did!"

"Shit! With the same money, he used it to buy meat to grow his body, and I used it to build equipment and make rockets! At this moment, it's just a competition to see whose money is worth the money. Is there anything less than a man?"

"..." Lan Mao's brain can't keep up with him. But Lan Mao has his own reasons: "Don't take action unless you have to! That monster is not stupid either. He doesn't dare to make enemies of all the villages."

"He will kill you, he wants to establish his authority!" Jin Shiqi was very anxious. He thought to himself: If I were that monster, I also have a choice to kill you... although this is the last resort.

Lan Mao polished the two daggers until they were shiny, and then smeared them with a layer of red mud. He patted Jin Shiqi fiercely again: "I know you regard me as a brother!"

"..." Jin Shiqi felt guilty, "Yes."

"You still owe me three thousand taels. Brother, don't worry, I won't die here!"

Lan Mao hid the short knife behind his back and grabbed a scimitar and tied it to his waist. He separated from his mountain soldiers and walked towards the evil man.
Chapter completed!
