The air was still smelling of gunpowder. The battlefield of the horse bandits was cleaned relatively clean, leaving almost no clues. 12 corpses were left behind on the scene. They looked through them and they should be guards. In a short encounter, they were determined to be unconscious. The horse bandits won a great victory, and there were probably not many casualties.

"Distribute the alert and see if there are any clues!" Wang Jinming ordered loudly.

The guard platoon was all veterans and well-trained. They were selected from thousands of soldiers and quickly scattered into a fan shape. Soon, some details were reported. To be precise, there were 120 horses in total. This was clearly distinguished from the horse hoof prints that rushed out of the horse bandits. This was very consistent with the more than 100 people mentioned by the surviving guards. As for guns, 12 types were temporarily discovered, including Russian, American, French, and British guns. This is also normal. Unless it is an army, it is already good that the horse bandits can have a gun. Who cares about what guns it is? The 12 types are all-encompassing, almost a World Gun Expo. As for shooting, it can be confirmed that there are more than 30 guns at the moment.

With 120 horses and more than 30 guns, such horse bandits can no longer be called pony bandits. Although there will be multiple horse bandits acting together, you can observe the distance between horse bandits and horses. To a certain extent, you can confirm that they are one, because no matter how close the horse bandits are, they will be wary of each other and will not gather together casually. If there are a few waves, they will be divided into several groups.

With the help of Wang Jinming's subordinates, he came and almost didn't have to read Liu Shu's records. He just said that he was the one who could not tell the story. Yang Yuanzhao was very excited and asked, "Do you know it's the horse bandit?"

"How can I know about this? I just want you to narrow the scope. I think there will be not too many such horse bandits in the northwest!"

Yang Yuanzhao smiled a lot. Wang Jinming didn't say anything and continued to observe that the gathering place of the horse bandits was in the valley of Xiaomu Mountain. The horse bandits who came from the other side probably had to reach about a mile before they could see the situation in the valley here. The horse bandits also took advantage of this distance of a mile. For the running horses, it was only more than a minute at most. Such a surprise attack was destined at the moment when the horse bandits ran, unless there were professional soldiers on one side, and more than one Maxim.

"The horse bandits were very professional. After suddenly attacking and knocking down their protective power, they didn't kill much early. After threatening these grooms, they immediately let the convoy go north quickly.

"North?" Yang Yuanzhao almost subconsciously looked towards the north and asked with a little surprise.

"That's right. It's the north. I know what you want to say. You have to cross the Yellow River again in the north. But once you pass by the Yellow River, next it will be the grassland, with carriages and horses, you can go in quickly, and you don't worry about the densely populated city."

The geography of Baotou is almost always in Yang Yuanzhao's mind. After crossing the Yellow River in the north, it is almost visible and full of grasslands. In this sense, it is indeed the best choice.

"Can you know how long they have been gone?"

"Don't you know this? It's at least 4 hours. Even if we chase it with fast horses, we can't catch up. Baotou, there is no training horse team. My soldiers are just able to get on horses." Wang Jinming said solemnly. He was really honest. The horse team is the norm in Mongolia, and there are even a lot in the northeast. However, whether it is Feng Yuxiang's battalion, the new army and the Yellow River Patrol Battalion here, they are more on equipment and training. There are horses, mostly pack horses, and no one is training for real cavalry. Not to mention the horse bandits who are good at horse fighting, even ordinary Mongolian knights are not an opponent.

"It seems that you still have to rely on the other side to get the information!" Yang Yuanzhao pondered for a moment, then suddenly raised his head and asked, "Brother Jin Ming, if you know the other party, how many people can you draw for me!"

"This!" Wang Jinming hesitated for a moment. The new army had never experienced it. This horse bandit was obviously an experienced horse bandit.

Wang Jinming's hesitation made Yang Yuanzhao understand a little, and he tried to ask: "That's the Yellow River Patrol Camp."

Wang Jinming nodded and said, "Yes, I can draw a battalion of 500 people. No matter how many, normal training cannot be carried out."

A fully armed soldier of 500 people passed by. Even if the power of Shanxi merchants was still good around Mongolia, it might not be possible no matter how far away it was. Yang Yuanzhao felt helpless and thought about it again and again: "Be ready first, be ready to set off at any time!"

Yang Yuanzhao hurriedly returned to Baoken Company with Wang Jinming's investigation results. Now Baoken Company has some information. The combined forces of the eight major profiteers and the big landlords are very powerful. In just one or two hours, at least a few hundred suitable messages came back. In addition, the coma guards woke up, and provided an important message. The heads of the bandits who robbed them were wrapped in a red turban.

Dozens of guns, hundreds of horses, and red headscarves were wrapped in red headscarves. Wang Jinming and the eight Shanxi merchants received some news. This group of bandits who robbed the road finally confirmed that the Red Troubles were active on the border between Northeast and Mongolia. The notorious Red Troubles, the bandit leader Hong Mazi and the two major leaders under him had a reward of up to 5,000 yuan in the government, and they were famous bandits far and wide.

"Red Thief, how could they run to us!" Hou Jinsheng asked curiously. In the past day, similar meetings have been held three or four times, and no one can understand that the Red Thief thieves who are traversing the Northeast and Mongolia will run so far to work.

But more and more information proved that this time the Red Trouble thief was the Red Trouble. Among the eight major Shanxi merchants, there were at least 50 people, including the Red Trouble thief. The news about entering and leaving Baotou was obviously that they had turned their attention here.

"Is there any exact location of them, and whether or not there is anything that has taken action!"

The Qu family members said solemnly: "We have monitored several steamed buns of the Red Turban Thieves, but we have not noticed any movement!"

When thieves obtain property, they must sell stolen goods, especially bulk goods such as cotton, 680,000 kilograms of cotton. This is a huge number. In the whole of China, there are very few people who can eat so much cotton. The reason why thieves are called thieves is that they will not have a complete system. Their stolen goods are basically sold through fixed channels.

After the cotton textile mills got on track, the huge demand for cotton textile mills, with a demand of more than 200,000 kilograms per day, made Baotou pay more attention to the control of goods and channels. To a certain extent, those who ship bulk cotton around can basically see traces of Shanxi merchants. After this incident, such things have been paid more attention to.

After confirming that the bandit leader was a Red Trouble, the power of the entire Shanxi merchant tilted towards the other side. Soon, the activity range, character composition, and even the old nest were displayed under Baotou's information. Yang Yuanzhao could not handle it and directly handed over the information to the professionals. After careful analysis, Wang Jinming came to a conclusion that the Red Trouble was crossing the border and committed the crime. This vote was carefully considered and sat down. Now they are pulling things to the old nest. Because there is no news about the rouble nest, it is obvious that they will take action slowly in this batch of things.

It may not be transferred or even sold, but there is a possibility of recovery. The intelligence analysis from various aspects was summarized at Baoken Company, and after identification, it was handed over to Wang Jinming. Soon, a trajectory of the Red Trouble was a crime, and soon, it appeared in the war room of the new military camp.

The Red Thief used more than 300 people, including the assistants of 120 horses, which also coincided with the personnel of the Red Thief's horse bandit team. More than 120 horses entered Mongolia through several paths, and then turned on the grassland. In the past, they committed crimes, mostly scattered vendors, and they did not gain much.

After several steps on the plate, the Red Trouble finally locked its target around Baotou. In almost a week, more than 300 Red Trouble thieves were moving around Baotou. 300 thieves were almost unscrupulously entering and leaving Baotou, and finally the caravan was a big fish on the Internet.

Yang Yuanzhao no longer has time to care about how many loopholes there are in Baotou. At this moment, the key is to recover those cotton. Whether Baotou has the ability to gain a foothold in this era depends entirely on this time.

In Yang Yuanzhao, there is a complete information about the Red Troubles. The entire Red Troubles were active in the entire Mongolian group more than ten years ago. The current leader is Zeng Qi, who was a kidnapped horse. He took 6 years to join the Red Troubles from 8 years ago to become the big leader of the Red Troubles. In his hands, the Red Troubles have gone from a small bandit group of about ten people to a large bandit with 500 people, more than 200 horses and nearly 100 guns. Zeng Qi's role cannot be underestimated. He has traveled all over the world for many years, and even the Beiyang Army has suffered his losses.

Of course, it is not a model army like the third town. Two years ago, when the 45th Beiyang Bei moved the defense of Shengtian, the logistics team was robbed by the Red Troubles. At that time, the losses were huge, at least 200 guns, and a certain amount of ammunition was robbed by the Red Troubles. Later, the 45th Bei and the Beiyang, which was stationed in Shengtian, carried out several encirclements and suppression of the Red Troubles. Although a large number of people were killed and injured, they were not exterminated. With the peace of the Northeast, the Red Troubles also escaped the catastrophe. With the help of a large number of guns, they became the first generation of Northeast Mongolian and the most powerful horse bandit.

The 500 people, the resident was basically fixed in the Jilin generation, just in the mountains near the Mongolian generation of Jilin. In this sense, the target was found. Yang Yuanzhao handed over the detailed information to Wang Jinming. Wang Jinming made a little preparation and sent personnel to set off. A team of 400 people, of course, he took a carriage to Zhangjiakou and transferred to Jilin through the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway and the railway leaving the customs. Their weapons were naturally Feng Yuxiang, who was located in the northeast. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
