Chapter 157 Before entering Zheng Jiaji

?When you look at the mountain and run to death, you don’t mean you’ll arrive soon. But the ruins of Zheng Jiaji appeared in your vision. Everyone’s minds settled down and finally arrived at their destination.

"Don't let go of everyone. Zheng Jiaji is in a mess now. People from all walks of life are fighting around. We have to be careful of one hundred and twenty." Zhu Da shouted on the cart.

Zhu Da, Zhou Qingyun and Li He all had complicated expressions. The earthen encirclement outside Zheng Family Ji was not destroyed. It seemed that it was not washed by the Mongolian cavalry and the government troops from such a distance. It seemed that it was no different from before, but they all knew from the inside that it was over.

No matter what Zheng Jiaji is destroyed, there are important traffic roads there, and there are more and more pedestrians on the road. Everyone is nervous and hastily. On the one hand, they are anxious to rush to the road, and on the other hand, they are on guard against the people around them. On the outside, experienced people know to get along and walk with people who seem reliable. This will reduce the trouble. Officials and soldiers, village men and Lulin are unwilling to attract crowds. Zhu Da and his four young and strong cars, the 20th-old, naturally became the ones that everyone is most willing to come. However, after getting close, they are often scared by the heads hanging on both sides of the cart, and then hurriedly take a few steps back. They would rather follow behind or not, and there would be no one to rush to go on a business trip with their heads.

Zhu Da ignored the views of passers-by. He has been teaching the hired workers to use spear casters. This extremely primitive tool is indeed very simple to use. Keep the wooden spear clamped on the spear casters, raise your arms, swing it straight up and down, and try not to swing your shoulders. This is enough.

If you simply hold the spear and shoot, you will not be able to effectively control the body without professional training or martial arts. You can often use ten points to exert three points. The projected wooden spear may not have enough speed or deviate from the direction, but with the spear thrower, the ten points can be exerted at least seven points, or even nine points, and the direction can be quite different.

At this time, the employees were very banned. They rotated two shifts, one helped push the cart, and one shift guarded the surroundings. Strictly speaking, the road is very peaceful now and there is no danger, but they still did it meticulously.

This section of the road was already the scope of Zheng Jiaji in the past. Due to the influence of Zhu Daxing's trade, Zheng Jiaji also took the initiative to renovate the surrounding roads. After the Mongolian horse team invaded, Zheng Jiaji was destroyed. The surrounding roads would not be maintained. It is conceivable that they would be abandoned. But now it is very useful. The road surface is flat and wide, which makes the three brothers who are familiar with Zheng Jiaji in a bad mood. However, because the road surface is flat and wide, the hired workers basically don't need to push carts, but they can spare time to learn spear throwing tools.

Zhu Da’s training is simple and effective, allowing the hired workers to throw spears with their arms and shoulders first, and then use spear throwers to throw them, allowing the hired workers to discover the differences themselves.

"This... this wooden gun is in control, I don't know how to throw it away so far!" "As long as you wave your arms, you will be straight when throwing it away!" "It's so powerful that even if you use a wooden board to block it, you can't stop it."

The employees' words were a bit surprised. To them, this spear caster was like a toy and could bring them a little sense of accomplishment. However, for the employees, suffering from childhood, humility, hunger and other memories are most of their memories, and this sense of accomplishment will impress them particularly.

If the strength is similar, you can shoot the wooden gun to thirty steps, but if you ensure that there is a killing, you can only be within a distance of fifteen to twenty steps. Of course, this is also related to the material of the spear itself. If it is not the pointed tip cut from the wooden pole but the iron blade, it will be different.

Zhu Da urged the hired workers to practice slowly. He couldn't expect to practice anything at this time, but at least he could use it.

After walking forward for about half an hour, Zhu Da felt that the pain in his shoulder was relieved a lot, and it would not be a major injury. For those who practice martial arts, physical problems were fatal. He breathed a sigh of relief. He was about to call the next team of hired workers to practice, but he found that a passerby approached on the right side of the second big car. The man looked nothing surprising, but it was no different from the others on the road, but Zhu Da still saw something was wrong.

Dressing up is one thing, and looking at the convoy is another. Ordinary passers-by will not observe that way, see the number of people in the convoy, the position of the guards, and even look at Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun so carefully at the mounts and weapons. Zhou Qingyun also realized that something was wrong. He rode his horse to the vicinity of Zhu Da and winked.

At this moment, the passerby saw the heads hanging on both sides of the cart. He just watched them from a distance, but these heads were not dealt with specifically. If you don’t look carefully, you would think that the cans containing water and wine will be discovered only if you get close.

"What's wrong with this person..." Zhou Qingyun lowered his voice and said, then he watched the man staring at his head. An incredible look appeared on his face, and then he was afraid. He staggered and took two steps back, then looked at Zhu Da who was sitting in the cart and Zhou Qingyun who was riding a horse next to him.

When the man saw it, he happened to meet the eyes of Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun. He saw the two young men looking at him with a smile. His eyes were not wary, but instead he looked like a hunter looking at the prey. The man's pale face did not recover. He wanted to pretend to leave as if nothing had happened, but he couldn't do it. He followed the convoy stiffly for a few steps before he tried his best to squeeze out a smile on his face. He stood on the side of the road and bowed to Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun. Then he turned his head and left, and started running after walking a few steps.

"It's really not peaceful on the road." Zhou Qingyun muttered. After he watched the man run away, several people disperse, and who could not understand what was going on.

"No matter whether the Zheng family is good or bad, when they were there, the monsters and monsters everywhere did not dare to move. The Tartars and the government troops crossed the border not only destroyed the village and killed people, but also destroyed the rules here. Everyone took action unscrupulously. Otherwise, how could the bandits dare to fight in broad daylight on the official road?" Zhu Da replied in a muffled voice.

"How long will it take?"

"It won't be too long. Without the Zheng family, newcomers will appear. Perhaps some great coach has set his sights on this side. When the newcomers arrive, this rule will be established and it will be peaceful at that time." Zhu Da lay on a truck of goods. The sun burned the tarpaulin of the goods. The heat spread through the clothes to the wounded place, making people feel very comfortable.

"I'll take a rest for a while first. You can move slowly. When we arrive at Zheng Jiaji, we still have to be busy." Zhu Da reminded Zhou Qingyun and began to do the recovery movements on his own.

When there were still a hundred steps away from Zhengjiaji, someone came to talk to him, but he was recruiting business, saying that the silence of the silence was no longer allowed. If they wanted to stay and rest, they could provide the yard, and they could provide the rest there and water supply. They only needed to give the market price twice the price. The rent was calculated separately, and it would have to be twice the price.

Strictly speaking, this is not a huge price. When the caravan arrives at Zhengjiaji, there is no choice, unless it is not considered to supplement the supplies and continue moving forward. Moreover, regardless of the food and water and rent, even if it doubles, it will not be much expensive. The caravan is outside, so much money left for such expenses.

"Just agree." Zhu Da had no objection to this and stopped Li He who wanted to bargain.

The courtyard they went to was on the west side of Weizi. Zhu Da was very impressed by this area because Yuan Biao led them to practice martial arts, archery and riding here. Along the way, he saw that most of these large courtyards were people, not refugees, and they were caravans from all over the place. They were similar to Zhu Da’s judgment. The Mongolian horse team came quickly and walked quickly. The merchants traveling from south to north may not get the exact news. It was too late to change the road in the middle, so they could only barely cross the border.

Of course, these caravans also knew that the Mongolian horse team had left, otherwise they would not have come here with the courage to come. These caravans did not relax their vigilance, and could know by looking at the fully armed guards.

Zhu Da and the others also noticed one thing: the people who led them to various courtyards were not from Zheng Jiaji. Zhu Da, Zhou Qingyun and Li He were very familiar with Zheng Jiaji's businessmen and all kinds of people, but these people were obviously not. Zhu Da noticed even more that these people were not very skilled in doing things, and looked like a bit bandit, looking at that and temperament.

The answer was soon said by the caravan who lived in the same yard, "This group of people said they were close to the village. When they were in trouble, a group of people chopped wood on the mountain. After they went down the mountain, their family was destroyed and they had nowhere to go, so they could only come here. They came out of one place and drove everyone away. But this place was already broken and there was no benefit. It was difficult for them to become bandits. The caravans who came and went to the caravans were not young or hundreds of young and could not eat at all. They could only do business honestly, but they had a way out."

The answer is not surprising. Less than ten days since I passed by here last time, someone instinctively realized the opportunity. Chaos was only a moment after all, and in the end, order prevailed. If you can find opportunities in this order, you can survive.

"The Zheng family was so developed back then. If there were no official troops behind it, this group of people could do something, which would be a pity." Zhu Da said to Zhou Qingyun.

For the official army, there are various risks in capturing Zheng Jiaji, but it is still difficult to win the battle inside and outside, because they are interested in the interests of this place, or think that this place must be destroyed. No matter what aspect they consider, they cannot accept people other than this to master or cultivate. The people from these villages act instinctively, how can they defeat the official army like wolves and tigers, and they are still the most elite ones. So, it’s a pity that they have the ability, but they don’t have time and space.
