Chapter 274: Lang Son like an iron barrel
These people were selected by mountain people with extraordinary physical strength. Holding this heavy knife weighing nearly ten kilograms in their hands, they didn't feel heavy, but they felt like they were waving like arms.
Some people gently touch the blade with their fingertips to feel the sharpness of the blade. Some have already held it with both hands, posing, and eager to feel the feel of the blade.
In addition to a big knife, everyone also gave birth to a leather cover. The leather cover is made of cowhide and a layer of wire is wrapped inside, so as to protect the leather cover. Otherwise, the blade would have touched the cover and would have penetrated it long ago.
Baihu roared: "Put the knife away!"
Everyone was shocked and did not dare to do it again. They reluctantly retracted the knife back into the sheath.
Baihu said, "These swords are just for self-defense. They can't really kill the enemy. The swords can kill people, but they can only splash blood for five steps. What Lord Hao needs is that you can kill people a hundred meters away. If you want to kill people a hundred meters away, you will make your enemies frightened. Will they be crushed to pieces?"
Everyone said in unison: "I want to!"
"Okay, very good, what Lord Hao wants is your spirit. Very good, now, we will practice with our officers, and from now on, I want to make the rules. From now on, you must be wholehearted and not be casual, and not be perfunctory. In the next practice, if someone is careless, not only will you deduct your salary, but you will also post a list of articles to your village, so that your parents and villagers can know what kind of wine you are, and put your relatives to shame. But if you practice well and even make contributions, Lord Hao will write in person
The plaque of praise is sent to your village and ordered people to hang it. At the same time, your relatives will also give many benefits. You are here to serve Lord Hao, and your clan members will be under the supervision of Lord Hao. If anyone dares to bully your relatives, or commits any humiliation to your parents, wife and children, that is an insult to Lord Hao's parents, wife and children. Lord Hao will tear these people into pieces. Do you understand? Now, everyone sits down on the ground and gives you half a stick of incense to rest. Time is urgent, and next, you will never be able to rest except for eating, drinking and sleeping."
The tycoons all showed a desire to try. No one was willing to fall behind. The mountain people were simple. At the same time, they were actually the same as ordinary people. They had a strong concept of clans and relatives. For them, if they did not do well here, someone would have issued a notice in the future, and they were afraid that they would not have the face to go back to see the villagers in the clan from then on. On the contrary, if they did well here, Lord Hao, who was unattainable in the eyes of the mountain people, wrote a compliment letter and sent it to the village. They also took care of their relatives so that their relatives could be human in the mountains and would never be bullied by others. For these young people, this was almost a dream thing. Such rewards and punishment methods were obviously more tempting than the so-called so-called reward money.
So everyone couldn't help but learn what they had practiced before and shouted: "See the order in a humble way!"
The sound shook the sky, almost covering up the sound of gunfire on the other side.

The entire Lang Son. At this time, after a chain of interests began to run wildly. Because the mountain people in the mountains had already had interests with the Hao family, they all had to rely on the Hao family's salt and also needed to sell their wood and mountain goods to the Hao family, so they had already developed a certain degree of dependence on the Hao family.
In addition, there are people from all villages who have already served the Hao family. In the faintest part, the mountain people on the mountain have become wed and kin with the Luzhou Marquis Mansion.
At this time, news was already circulating wildly in the mountains, saying that some rebels were planning to attack Lang Son. Once this news came out, it immediately caused a lot of uneasiness. When the rebels attacked Lang Son, the Hao family would definitely resist with all their strength, and some of their relatives were serving in the Hao family. At that time, the lives of their relatives would be unpredictable.
But now, it is very wrong to bring people back. After all, the mountain people are simple and have been used by the rebels, and then they are covered up by the rebels. They hate the rebels to the core. In addition, in the crisis, if they recall their tribe members who serve in the Hao family, they seem too untrustworthy, and they will inevitably be made fun of by other villages. In places like Dashan, there is certainly cunning, but integrity is also the foundation of their own business. No one is willing to bear the reputation of a soft boy. Everyone is even more afraid. Once this happens, the Hao family will no longer collect their own wood in the future and will not be willing to sell them salt, iron pots and farm tools. The tribe's life will be sad in the future.
Therefore, an atmosphere of unity of hatred of the enemy gradually spread among the mountains. Many villagers spontaneously summoned people to tell their tribe members that the rebels were the least trustworthy and evil people, and that these people would sooner or later be punished by God. Now, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty has arrived in Langshan, and Lord Hao is even more prepared to fight the rebels. Everyone should not panic. Some young and strong men should also take some protection measures in addition to their work.
Even Wu Xiong received many fake confessions from the village, saying that he was willing to mobilize some manpower to help prevent Lang Son.
However, these unrequited love was rejected by Hao Fenglou.
The reason why he rejected it was not because he looked down on these mountain people. It was because Lang Shan Pass was not a big pass, but just a small city block. It really couldn't accommodate many people to defend. It was enough to have nearly a thousand guards, and it would not make much sense no matter how many people were. But if the rebels broke through the pass, even if there were mountain people to defend, it would be of little benefit. After all, they were mobs, and it would be really embarrassing to them against the serious official army.
Since I can't use it, I don't need it. Instead, I posted a notice on Tongshanji, saying that I would recruit some mountain people to help transport food and grass, help dig some ditches, etc. I would get wages when I came, but I just needed to bring my own food.
When the mountain people saw it, they thought the Hao family was kind enough, so many people volunteered to come early the next morning.
As for those merchants, they were a little unkind. When they heard that they were going to fight, they naturally took their caravans and goods to Luzhou City to watch. If Lang Son was defeated, they would naturally return to the mainland of Guangxi. If they won, they would have to return to Lang Son and continue their business.
Their "unrighteous acts" did not make Hao Fenglou angry. People seek benefits and avoid harm. It is obviously unrealistic to expect others to fight for you. The reason why the mountain people are willing to fight for you is just because they are linked to the interests of the Hao family. At the same time, Lang San was the place where their ancestors lived. When the rebels came, they would most likely suffer. And the merchants obviously had some in and out of the way, and they would not be completely tied to you.
Everything is ready, and the next step is to wait.
The rebels' actions were sent to the Marquis' Mansion through encrypted letters from the Shenwu Guard spies who had infiltrated Annan. Here, the newly established safe house, and translated copies were sent to the desks of Zhu Di and Hao Fenglou.
The rebels gathered in Maizhou, Shenglong, Gaoping, Qinghua and other places did not move. On the contrary, at least in the direction of Shenglong, according to the news, it seemed that they had received news of the "large army" of the imperial court's attack. But strangely, they still steadily surrounded Shenglong, and except for releasing more scouts, they did not seem to have the next move.
Obviously, the rebels' detailed work had already spread the news about Lang Son. The rebels must have learned about Lang Son's actions and knew that there were only more than a thousand people in Lang Son. At the same time, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was here.
However, the rebels' behavior was surprisingly calm and there was no sign of greed for success or advancement. This was not only the case in Shenglong, Maizhou, Qinghua and other places.
Both Zhu Di and Hao Fenglou have seemed surprisingly uneasy these days because they understood that if the other party did not take the bait, but instead concentrated their forces to concentrate their main force in the direction of Shenglong to fight Zhu Gaosui, then all deployments would be vain. And Zhu Gaosui's more than 10,000 troops would definitely not be the opponent of the rebels, and these defenders of Lang Son would never be able to go out of the pass to find the rebels to fight. The worst result was that Zhu Gaosui was defeated and the rebels won a great victory. The court had no choice but to reorganize the army and attack Annan again after a year and a half.
This is definitely a big gamble, the rebels want to solve the Ming Dynasty problems once and for all.
But... the other party seemed like a cunning fox, and he failed to take the bait.
Zhu Di was in a particularly bad mood. In the early morning of that day, he sneered on the case, saying, "This is absolutely impossible. Chen Qin asked this person, I know that this person has always been greedy for merit and advancement. This was the case during the Jingnan Campaign. How could he not take the bait? No, no, I am afraid something went wrong, or they guessed my intentions, even if they guessed, Lang San was really empty in defense, and they could not remain indifferent. Yes, was it that Leli? Could it be that Leli? The one who was the one who was in charge of the rebels? Leli, the Annan family, I don't know, that this person would be so calm?"
Hao Fenglou shook his head and said, "Father, this seems to be wrong. Li Li cannot control the rebels. He is only an Annan family and has a cooperative relationship with Chen Qinrang. If Chen Qinrang wants to take risks, he cannot stop him. Although he learned from the news sent by Shenwuwei that this person has always been cunning, his son-in-law thinks that even Li Li should not be able to control this temptation at the moment."
