"The Shi brothers have done many evil things. The three heads we nailed to the door were all eaten clean, skin and flesh, by those enemies of the family!" Guo Toad said happily.
"Eating human flesh?" Zhu Qiwu thought he heard wrongly, so he said.
"That's right! I don't know how many families in Shuanglian Town were forced to have their families destroyed, their wives and children separated. Even eating a few pieces of their meat still gave them an advantage!" Guo Toad said indignantly.
Obviously, Zhu Qiwu underestimated the three bully brothers Shi Shilong before and let them die one by one. It was really cheap.
"The people of Shuanglian Town not only don't have the bully Shi family anymore, but every household has also snatched a lot of life-saving food. Our reputation as the Forty Thieves has become even more famous!" Tang He said with a proud look.
"Haha, let's just say, the common people are all sensible people!" Zhu Chongba also felt proud.
With the addition of the Shi family's resources, Zhu Chongba and the others' material reserves in Longxing Temple have been greatly increased.
Two days later.
Outside Longxing Temple, another porridge shed was added, and the fragrant porridge attracted almost all the nearby refugees.
After some observation and selection, Zhu Qiwu selected dozens of young and strong refugees to join the Longxing Temple Guardian.
Just when Zhu Qiwu was preparing to choose some more young men.
suddenly.
A new sign-in reward is opened.
【Ding!】
[The host sign-in reward is distributed, and you get a war horse! 】
When Zhu Qiwu saw it, he was overjoyed.
That’s great!
My sign-in reward has finally been qualitatively improved!
It seems that it must be related to the increasing number of people in Longxing Temple, and his status has also risen accordingly.
After all, in Longxing Temple, besides Zhu Chongba, the resourceful Zhu Qiwu has the highest prestige.
"Tsk! A war horse, this is a good thing that even money can't buy!"
The horses in Longxing Temple are all short and slow draft horses. They are fine for pulling carts, but they are very funny when used as cavalry.
Ordinary draft horses are too slow and cannot run fast at all, so they have no ability to charge into battle.
"If I sign in a few more times, I can train a real cavalry."
After the battle to annihilate the bully Shi family, Zhu Chongba and others no longer had any worries.
Killing these bullies will not only get a lot of gold, silver and food, but also make the people around you grateful.
Of course such a good thing will not stop here.
In particular, the nursing home refugees recruited by Longxing Temple are already very confident in their training.
Let them go east, but they will never be loyal to the west.
Later, Zhu Chongba, Zhu Qiwu and the others eliminated several big bullies in Haozhou one after another.
So, for a while... the most famous name in the entire Haozhou was the legendary 'Forty Thieves' who had never seen their tail.
People in Haozhou have spread rumors that the 'Forty Thieves' have fallen into disgrace in Daze Lake!
He never harms ordinary people, and only deals with bullies and powerful men.
The "Forty Thieves" are not bandits who rob homes, but knights who do justice for heaven!
In the face of these fantastic rumors and the numerous cases of family extermination, the Haozhou government did not take any action at all.
As an official of the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasty, the most important thing for the Haozhou government now is to force the people to pay exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, which is related to the political performance of the black hat. The other thing is to take the opportunity to line their own pockets when collecting taxes. Otherwise,
What is the meaning of being an official?
As for those bullies and tyrants whose families were exterminated, as far as the Haozhou government is concerned, death is enough. Anyway, they are not the Mongolian and Yuan princes of the imperial court.
These days, Han people are dying every day, and no one can do anything about it.
Even when these bullies died, not only the people cheered for joy, but the Haozhou officials were also very happy.
The bullies who had their families wiped out had all their gold, silver, jewelry, food, and cloth looted, but the houses, shops, and fertile fields they left behind were all without owners!
The officials in Haozhou Prefecture and County all ate with their mouths full of oil.
As for the pursuit of the "Forty Thieves", there is simply no one to do it.
As a result, Zhu Chongba and the others became more and more successful, and in just half a year, they wiped out several bullies near Haozhou.
Zhu Qiwu’s sign-in rewards are also gradually upgraded.
Now the sign-in rewards every seven days include not only war horses, gold and good bow armor, but also Zhu Qiwu was lucky enough to get a six-shot revolver.
This is an unprecedented killer weapon!
After Zhu Qiwu got it, he didn't tell anyone and carried it quietly with him every day.
The revolver as a sign-in reward only has six bullets, and can only be used to save your life at critical moments. It is absolutely impossible to use it to show off.
March of the twelfth year of the Great Yuan Dynasty.
After half a year of operation, Longxing Temple has not only doubled in size, but also the number of refugees it recruits has increased by more than ten times.
Just the number of young refugees selected to join the nursing home has reached 3,000!
You know, the official army of Haozhou Prefecture is only a thousand-household camp, with about a thousand people.
And a Longxing Temple, after only half a year of operation, has exceeded the military strength of the Haozhou government.
It’s not just the numbers!
Among the 3,000 Longxing Temple guards, there were fully 500 armored elites, including 400 infantry and 100 cavalry!
In terms of the number of armored elites, Zhu Chongba and the others are already strong enough to defeat the Haozhou army!
Especially the one hundred cavalrymen, most of whom were tall horses as a sign-in reward from Zhu Qiwu, possessing the best balance of speed and endurance.
What Mongolian cavalry from Daruhuachi in Haozhou!
Compared with the cavalry brought by Zhu Qiwu, they are just a bunch of donkeys.
After nearly a hundred years of rule, it’s time for the Mongols to get out.
Inside Longxing Temple.
Zhu Chongba summoned all his old brothers and were discussing important matters.
"We have received news that something big is going to happen in Yingzhou!" Zhu Chongba said mysteriously.
"Brother Chongba, what's the news?" Xu Da asked quickly.
After half a year of training and preparation, Xu Da, who had personally trained three thousand soldiers and horses, was already a little eager to try.
"A ballad has been circulated in Yingzhou, singing, 'The stone man has one eye, and the Yellow River dances and the world rebels.'" Zhu Chongba looked solemn.
Everyone in the room looked confused when they heard this.
"Chongba, what does this mean?"
"Yeah, what does this mean?"
What a stone man, what an eye, I don’t know what he said.
When Zhu Qiwu heard this, he secretly laughed in his heart.
Of course Xu Da, Tang and the others couldn't understand either.
This was released by Liu Futong and others from the White Lotus Sect.
They use mysterious songs to inspire people's hearts.
Their real preparation was to bury a stone man in advance on the construction site for repairing the Yellow River, the kind with an eye carved on it.
