Chapter 250 Spread the news
Hu Yuan was once a horse bandit. Over the years, he had joined more than a dozen horse bandit armed forces from all over the years. Of course, the timid and a trace of conscience in his heart were at most to grab things, and he really didn't have much blood debt in his hands. This was also the fundamental reason why he was captured by Feng Camp and eventually became a soldier. This time he was also sent out. His experience among many horse bandits made it easy for him to find some middle-aged people and use them to complete the task.
The horse bandits have a fixed circle, and it is not easy to find their nests, but it is not difficult to spread some news through some half-black and half-white. Even some middle-aged people also have the task of selling stolen goods and investigating them. After Hu Yuan successfully transmitted the news through several middle-aged people, he did not stay much. The life of the horse bandits was not what he liked. Once again, he returned to the life of the horse bandits that was in danger of peace. This is definitely not the choice of a smart person. From the army in the Northeast to the Baotou militia, it can be said that the superiors above have never treated him unfairly. To a certain extent, he fell in love with such a life under the sun. In a sense, such a life is comfortable, even if it is a bit dangerous.
There are at least dozens of people who have the same task as Hu Yuan. They even find some relationships through their own channels and even leak the information they know. Everyone has their own ambitions. People like Hu Yuan account for the majority, but there are also people like Zhang Ming who are blinded by money.
When the new army left Baotou, there were more than tens of millions of silver. Even if there were thousands of people and tens of thousands of people attacked Baotou, as long as they were taken down, there were hundreds or thousands of taels, or even thousands of taels. Not even mentioning so many industrial and mining enterprises and goods in Baotou, people were not equal when they were born. Those big-bellied merchants were fighting for huge wealth. Zhang Ming would also follow the task given by the leader of the militia. It was hard to say clearly. It was an opportunity to make him turn over.
Zhang Ming directly found a line of celebrities. Because of his previous experience, he successfully met Tongshan. After listening to his words, Tongshan calmed down. During this period, news came from various channels. Because the court asked Baotou to establish a 54 mixed editorial association, the militia in Baotou was about to move to Taiyuan to train. There were only a few hundred soldiers in Baotou.
Tongshan didn't care much at the beginning. They were active around Baotou and were the targets of militia. Maybe with this news, he led them to attack. His good days just a few days later, and the friends Ma Yuanqin and others promised were coming soon. At most one or two weeks, the people they gathered together would exceed 2,000, and even horses had 1,800. This number could even take action against some caravans with more than 400 guards above 300 carriages. This is what he should pay attention to.
Everyone can't forget the sweetness of robbing the Qu family. The Qu family only has about 100,000 taels of firearms, plus tens of thousands of taels of value, and above 300 carriages, maybe 200,000, or even more. But now, with such a great opportunity, it has come to him so easily. Compared with the silver and Baotou, what can a caravan count? I heard that the daily cloth produced in Baotou is only tens of thousands of pieces, and there are many other things. In addition to the tickets of Shanxi merchants, the family capital is huge.
After settling Zhang Ming, Tongshan immediately asked his subordinates to inquire. He was a cautious person. In the northwest, there were many brave people and many ruthless people. However, to survive, one must be cautious. This is also the foundation for the first-line celebrity to become one of the most famous horse bandits in the northwest. Tongshan has been traversing the northwest for many years and has its own channels. As expected, a lot of news came. Although it was uncertain, the Wei family and several other ticket numbers really did not transport silver carts to Taiyuan and Zhangjiakou.
Before, in order to rob the silver cart, he had done his homework. Baotou was indeed a treasure land for money. Generally, the daily cash bank transactions were at least one million. This day was almost 10 days. In this case, just a Wei family ticket number would have at least ten million taels of cash. The other ticket numbers were 10 million or 20 million taels. Tong Shan's breathing became rapid. As a top-notch leader, he drank wine and ate meat in a big bowl. In a sense, he had seen the world, but the number of ten million taels still made his heart beat violently.
Isn’t the horse bandit robbery just for money? If you have enough money, who would be willing to live such a life of stagnation? Where is Baotou? The northwestern border, there was experience of being attacked by horse bandits in the past. Now, there is so much money, it seems that you should discuss it with everyone and do a big deal.
At this time, all the new troops gathered together to inform the bandits that some people did not come back. Although there were only a few, Wang Jinming was a little angry. It took so long that the soldiers trained were lost so easily. This was a shame. He wrote down this. It seemed that he should really do a good job of comforting what Yang Yuanzhao said in the future.
Whether it is a show or a layout, the new army must leave, and it leaves in a grand manner. People from all walks of life in Baotou came to participate in the new army's camp deportation ceremony. Whether it was a beating drums or a firecracker, it was very eye-catching. All the new army was fully armed and walked with great courage. The 3,000 people were like one person, with a very imposing momentum.
Some people watch the fun, some are worried, and some are prepared and thoughtful. There are too many foreign populations in Baotou. To a certain extent, management is a very difficult thing. It is impossible to eliminate most of the horse bandits and spies. Besides, Yang Yuanzhao's purpose was not intended to hide it from them. The new army must leave and show it openly.
Liu Shu was still worried. To a certain extent, tens of thousands of horse bandits were pressing heavily on his heart, like a mountain. Only when the new army was completely transferred away could it attract horse bandits to attack Baotou. This was inevitable. However, only a few hundred people left, including the militia, could they deal with so many horse bandits? The horse bandits have been scattered in the northwest for many years and have not inferior to skilled soldiers in combat. If one is not good, they are broken into Baotou by the horse bandits, the fun will be great.
"Yuan Zhao, do you want to think about it again? It's really letting the militia go!" Liu Shu was willing to work hard at the end.
"Don't worry, I know this!"
Wang Jinming also said, "Yes, Zelin, Yuan Zhao has made full preparations, everything is safe!"
In the past 10 days, there have been more than 30 artillery towers. They are arranged in key locations, and one artillery tower can cover a range of 2 miles. It can be said that even if Baotou is impacted by horse bandits, horse bandits will not want to penetrate into Baotou. In addition, barbed wire, trenches and soldiers can be said to be solid, unless the other party has a cannon, and it is a heavy cannon of at least 75. Could horse bandits have cannons? The reason why horse bandits are horse bandits is its maneuverability and flexibility. With a heavy cannon, the speed will definitely decrease.
Liu Shu also knew that it was almost impossible to convince Yang Yuanzhao. He sighed and said nothing more. The militia was strengthening training, especially Maxim's. In the training ground, gunfire was almost constantly sounding. Yang Yuanzhao did not intend to let the militia fight hard, put it on the fort to manipulate Maxim. The reinforced concrete artillery tower can protect against the cannon for a period of time, not to mention that ordinary horse bandits, even rifles are not the most advanced, and there are no explosives or anything else.
Instructions, speeches, and departures, 3,000 people walked out of Baotou in neat steps. They would go to Taiyuan at a speed of 50-60 miles a day. The speed was not fast, and it could even be said to be relatively slow. It is expected that in 14 days, they will arrive in Taiyuan, hide in the crowd, and stare at the spies staring at the new army, and they also know that there is no suspicious soldiers with such a military appearance and such momentum. It is almost impossible to cultivate 3,000 suspicious soldiers with such momentum.
Tong Shan, who received the report, had a little bit of a silence. Has the 3,000 people really left? He was always pressing on his head, making him breathless. The new army left Baotou so easily, leaving only a few hundred people from the Yellow River Patrol Battalion. Baotou seemed to be a child who entered the trouble with gold in his arms. Now, the adults who were guarding him have left, and there are people with bad intentions around him, and they seem to be able to act.
"Looking at those new troops, I want to know their daily location!" Tong Shan said in a sequel.
In Baotou, the lively momentum of the new army leaving did not affect most people. The workers could not feel the storm around them. They would do whatever they should work, live, and live as they should. In a sense, doing a day's work and then getting enough rewards. The new army's departure was just a topic of conversation, and gradually faded.
Wei Family Piao No., Wei Ming looked at the piles of silver and felt a little depressed. Fortunately, most of the money was put into the bank treasury, which was specially built by Yang Yuanzhao, and there was even a platoon of new troops responsible for the maintenance. However, the daily transaction volume was constantly increasing. Zhangjiakou and Taiyuan had already contacted Citibank, and 30 million US dollars had been injected into it. In a sense, he had a deep understanding of Yang Yuanzhao's financial resources. However, is Baotou better to pass this level?
With the same idea, there are other shareholders and the impact of bandits on business. They all know that if there were no bandits and no bandits as numerous as a bull, their rate of return would have climbed to a new level on the current basis. Over the years, even the Northwest bandits that had not been completely eliminated by the Beiyang and the Qing court, could they be eliminated so easily?
