The wind blows from the South Sea

Chapter 38 Raid

Three days passed quietly, and nothing happened.

Tian Qiwen, a member of the Tian family, felt relieved at the same time, but also felt unspeakable disappointment. A large amount of exciting wealth just slipped away quietly.

Every time I think about this, I feel a little heart-wrenching and uncomfortable.

At this moment

He already agreed with the reckless behavior of his second brother Tian Qiwu. If he had been more courageous, wouldn't he have kept more than ten carts of spices?

You know, that's more than 3 silver coins!

If the Nanyang Company's caravan dares to go deep into the Sesamenu River Basin next time, this piece of fat delivered to the door will not be allowed to escape under any circumstances.

If he really led his men to attack Bromo Town, Tian Qiwen would still have a lot of worries in his heart.

But in his own territory, the Tian family is the emperor who controls the whole world, and he is not afraid of making things big now.

At worst, you can also unite with several surrounding indigenous tribes and let them take the lead.

With five or six times the manpower gathered to besiege, I don’t believe that those long-haired boys from Nanyang Company can really escape with their three heads and six arms?

As long as you do it cleanly, you won't admit it until you die.

The more Tian Qiwen thought about it, the more it made sense. He felt that he had missed out on a lot of wealth in vain. His greedy desires were growing like wild weeds, and he even couldn't sleep well.

So this day

He simply invited his second brother Tian Qiwu to discuss countermeasures in private, and planned to give him a cruel blow next time the Nanyang caravan came to the Sesame Nuhe area again.

"Hmph, don't think about these good things. Do you think I'm stupid? Such a big piece of fat is delivered to your door. If you can't let him escape next time, why should I share it with everyone?"

Unexpectedly, the topic suddenly opened up.

Tian Qiwu immediately lost his temper. He himself regretted that he was so frightened that night that he hurriedly ran away with the bucket after a burst of gunfire, instead of swallowing the whole caravan of mules and horses.

Although he gained a fortune of more than 8600 silver coins, the entire caravan was worth 3 silver coins!

Tian Qiwen was so angry that smoke was coming out of his nostrils, but thinking about it, the Tian family's military power was controlled by their old hands. This matter cannot be avoided by him in any way, so we can only put down the status of the patriarch and discuss it with him.

Tian Qiwen said with a straight face;

"Qiwu, don't be stupid.

The servants and militiamen who protect the village are not your private property. Last time, eight Tian family members and more than 30 militiamen were lost. I haven't settled this account with you yet?

Tian's children all have parents, wives and children at home, so they must come up with a sum of money for pensions, right?

There are also those members of the group who, at worst, will have to pay twenty or thirty silver coins to their families. Be careful that eating alone will make you die.

Do you think that without me holding you down, the clan elders would let you act like this?

Believe it or not, a clan meeting will be held tomorrow and you will be relieved of your errands. If you want to use the strength of the Tian clan to do some plowing in the future, you will have to carry a knife yourself.

You can't be too independent as a person, otherwise you won't get any good results.

I am your brother from the same mother. Can I still harm you if I do anything?

Please, think about it with your pig-brained head, is this the truth? "

After some rhetoric, Tian Qiwu finally relaxed his attitude. He gritted his teeth in pain and said;

"It's easy to get rid of those mud-legged Tuan Ding, just give them a dozen silver coins as a family, are you afraid that they will turn upside down?

The injured three are worth five silver coins, and I have asked them to recuperate.

The most troublesome thing is the dead children of the Tian family. In the past few days, there are always some old and weak women and children running to the door to mourn, which makes me very annoyed.

Well, if you appease them, I will give you 30% of the next harvest. "

"Without me, the leader of the clan, to keep you in check, you won't even be able to eat shit. If you want to do something big next time, I'll do it all for him. The clan fully supports you, but you can only get 3, and I can get 7." "

"Are you crazy? Brother, if you dare me to charge in the front, you will get the big head in the end. There is no such thing as a good thing. At most, it will be a 50-50 split."

"Qiwu, do you think I can keep all this money in my pocket? Don't those family elders want to share some to keep their mouths shut? Even if one person has 800 silver coins, if a dozen old guys add up, that's tens of thousands." Tian Qiwen frowned and retorted, thinking for a moment.

The thorny family members gave more, and the honest 300 silver coins were spent, of which Qi Mimi was able to save a lot.

So he said with heartache: "Stop talking, you get four and I get six. I have to help you seal the mouths of those old people. The dead and injured clan members suppressed them and can't make trouble. In other words, you Qiwu is my brother." , otherwise we wouldn’t do this.”

"That's okay, it's a deal." Tian Qiwu knew that this was all the truth and simply agreed.

A large clan has its advantages, but also its disadvantages.

Especially eating alone is so hateful.

Tian Qiwen finally convinced Tian Qiwu, who was a thorn in his side, so the two of them whispered to each other to discuss the following matter, and he asked;

"Qiwu, you must have sent someone to keep an eye on the movements of the Nanyang caravan. Have you noticed anything unusual?"

"Hey... don't mention it, you're making me worry in vain." Tian Qiwu shook his head and said with disdain;

"Nanyang Company is rumored to be amazing outside, but how powerful are its methods? How bloody is the revenge? It's all just bragging!

My spies are all stationed in the town of Bomoluo, and they will report back as soon as there is any news.

Initially, they were worried about something happening, but in the end, nothing happened. It seems that they have tolerated this tone.

It is said that they will return to Surabaya City in the next few days, and I don’t know when they will come back next time. These long-haired street boys can run very fast.

I was thinking in my heart, if they really don't dare to come again, I should find an opportunity to go to Bromo Town and do something.

It is said that the Nanyang daily necessities store there is also a big fat sheep. It has a lot of spices and mountain goods from the nearby Qili Baxiang. "

"That's it... let's wait and see for a while before talking." After hearing this, Tian Qiwen felt a little disappointed.

7 a.m.

In the mountain forest about 10 kilometers away from Tianjiazhuang, a total of about 300 heavily armed Nanyang Company guys, including more than 120 musketeers, 52 cavalry and more than 130 sword and shield men, were repairing in the jungle.

They set out yesterday morning. The cavalry rode big mules and the infantry rode 28 mules and horses in a cart. They arrived here in the evening.

This is an important mountain pass. The Zhizhimu River between the two mountains meanders through. The ancient road along the river is the only way to the front.

More than 300 men from the Nanyang Company set up camp here, and the sentries were sent out one or two kilometers away to completely seal this mountain pass to prevent the news from leaking out.

This move was not a false move, it really had an immediate effect.

Three or four spies were caught one after another, and they turned out to be the informants released by the Tian family. As a result, they were caught on the mountain road in a hurry.

The reason for this

It was the Nanyang Company that moved too quickly. Not only the cavalry team composed of more than fifty mules, but also the infantry all got on the mule and horse carts and drove all the way.

More than 60 kilometers of rugged mountain roads were almost covered in one day.

This move left all the spies far behind, making them jump in panic.

Then something strange happened

The Nanyang Company's raiding team walked in front of them all night and night, while those spies who were eager to rush back to report the news, whether it was to steal a mule or steal a donkey, followed eagerly behind.

No, at the pass of the mountain pass, they were all captured by the sword and shield guards who were waiting with their nets set, and were escorted to Feng Guohui's hands.

Squad leader He Qiang suffered a lot at the hands of these bastards. This time with a grin, he took action personally and used the top ten tortures of the Qing Dynasty to increase the intensity of these indigenous spies.

Who would have thought that before the first punishment of grooming was over, these spies were so frightened that they urinated and urinated, and without even stumbling, they all revealed the mastermind behind the scenes.

The so-called "grooming punishment" is to strip the prisoner naked, pour boiling water on his body several times, and then use an iron brush to brush off the skin and flesh on his body, which is extremely vicious.

After getting the confession he wanted, Feng Guohui looked at the several people slumped on the ground with pity. They were all descendants of the Tian family, and then ordered;

"Aqiang, please give them a good time. I can't bear to see others suffer, but I am soft-hearted."

"Uh... Got it, Mr. Ding." He Qiang didn't show any mercy at all. He personally took the sharp knife and killed these people, and had others drag them down and throw them by the stream.

It is a place frequented by wild beasts in the mountains. Once they encounter them, they will never let them go.

It was already dawn in the morning, and Feng Guohui ordered the lame green mule from yesterday to be slaughtered directly, and a large pot of broth was stewed for the brothers to have a good meal.

Killing these spies is like sacrificing the flag before the war begins.

After everyone had eaten and drank enough, all the mules on the other side were fed. The more than 300 heavily armed men were in high spirits and had high morale.

After experiencing several bloody battles, the newcomers have grown up at an extremely fast speed. This is much better than training behind closed doors for a year.

Feng Guohui turned over and mounted a strong green mule. Looking at his men who were full of fighting strength, he waved his hand and said;

“Brothers of Nanyang Company;

In my heart, Feng Guohui, whoever dares to touch my brother is the life and death enemy of Nanyang Company and must pay a heavy price.

If anyone dares to reach out and chop off his hands, if he dares to stretch his head, chop off his head, if he dares to plot against my Nanyang Company's mules and horses caravan, I will destroy his entire clan.

Now the Tian family has jumped out brazenly, not only hurting my brother and snatching our goods, but also using various actions to provoke Nanyang Company crazily.

What can be tolerated and what cannot be tolerated.

With such a Tian family, do we still want him to be the king of the mountain? Brothers, what do you think we should do? "

"Enter Tianjia Town, completely eliminate the Tian family, kill... kill... kill..." Everyone responded in unison with blood all over their bodies.

Feng Guohui nodded with satisfaction, then pointed to the east and said, "There are still 10 kilometers ahead of Tianjia Town. I order the entire army to set off to completely destroy the Tian family in one battle. The women and wealth captured will belong to you, Gao Any man who crosses the wheel will be killed without mercy."

"Kill...kill...kill..."

This real money encouragement made almost all the guys' eyes turn red. They excitedly raised their swords and guns and shouted "Kill, kill...".

"Set off……"

With an order, more than 300 heavily armed men rode on mules and took 28 mule carts (note, there was a surplus of mules and horses left), and fought in the direction of Tianjia Town in a mighty manner.

This sunny day is destined to be stained with a layer of blood.
