Chapter forty-eight thieves

Ying Yi never met for three consecutive days.

However, he is strong and energetic, so it's nothing serious.

But Zhou Li and others, as subordinates, had no reason to watch.

So from the fourth day, Ying Yi was responsible for picking up the grain at night, but after transporting it to Xiaowangzhuang and then to Bibo Valley, Zhou Li and others took turns to take turns.

As time passed day by day, Ying Yi was counting day by day. Eight or nine days had passed since Ye County retreated. He didn't know how Yuan Tong was doing. Two million taels of silver were not afraid of thieves not being moved, but time was probably still a little urgent.

This is true for the thief, and for Ying Yi himself.

The thief is a bloated and huge creature, with hundreds of thousands or millions in Kaifeng. With the ability of the thief, the chaos can be imagined. The more this happens, the more unpredictable the reaction of the thief. Maybe a soldier will be sent to seize military pay immediately, but it may also be difficult to make a move.

However, Ying Yi tended to the previous guess.

On Ying Yi's side, three thousand soldiers had just been recruited, and the training for a few days was still too shallow. He had to go to the battlefield, but he still couldn't make any move.

There was always a urgency in his heart.

That night, Ying Yi led his team to Ye County to collect supplies. On the way, he received a reply from Zhang Shi, saying that a soldier was stationed near Ye County!

Ying Yi was excited and asked Zhang Shi: "Where is the exact location? How many people are?"

"It's not far from the south of the county town, camping in the forest. I don't know how many people there are, but the subordinates judged that based on the traces on the road, there should be more than 10,000 people." Zhang Shi said solemnly.

“More than 10,000 people…”

Ying Yi took a deep breath: "It's a thief from Kaifeng!"

Zhang Shi said: "Sir, wise. That army is indeed not like an official army. The traces on the road are directed to the north."

"Very good." Ying Yi nodded: "It seems that the food transport tonight cannot be done. I will split half of the manpower and I will take the escort carriage back to Xiaowangzhuang. Leave half of it for you. Remember to firmly monitor the movements of this bandit soldiers and horses, and I will know where they are at any time."

"yes!"

On the way back halfway, Ying Yi was thinking. While breathing a sigh of relief, he was eager to try, but he also felt a headache.

He breathed a sigh of relief because Yuan Tong got the matter done. He was eager to try it out, because Ying Yi couldn't wait to crush the bandits. As for the headache, it was because the three thousand soldiers under his command were rookies and had not yet been trained.

When they returned to Xiaowangzhuang, Zhou Li and others were called out by Ying Yi. When they saw Ying Yi return at this time, they knew that something must have happened.

Sure enough, Ying Yi said: "There is no news at night. There is a bandit stationed in the south of the county town, with more than 10,000 people. The matter of getting food can only be temporarily stopped."

If you don’t collect it at night, it is the other name for scouts.

"I ask Zhang Shi to monitor at any time, and we must be prepared here to avoid any possible accidents." Ying Yi reminded: "Once the thieves are discovered by thieves in Xiaowangzhuang, they will escape into the mountains and will not meet the thieves. Now there are no weapons and armor, so we cannot fight."

Zhou Li and Zhu Bingkun couldn't help but nodded together, agreeing deeply.

Ying Yi said: "I will go back to the mountain and see the specific situation in the mountain. You two are so kind to watch here, don't be careless."

He also said: "Zhang Shi will come to report it at any time. If there is any important thing, he will send someone into the mountain to find me."

"Yes! Sir."

Ying Yi immediately entered the mountain and headed towards Bibo Valley.

It was midnight, and the Bibo Valley was silent. After a few days, the appearance changed drastically. Under the slightly dark moonlight, the prototypes of several workshops had been lifted in the valley. Bibo Valley was temporarily built by Ying Yi as an industrial base, and the importance here was self-evident. But now there is no protection in this place.

This is also impossible.

Ying Yi had already made plans and planned to wait until the soldiers were trained to a certain extent, so he sent a hundred households to guard the place.

There is a sequence of construction of Bibo Valley. First build workshops and then residential areas. Because the demand for workshops is more urgent, the people living in the initial simple wooden shed. Erniu and others still live in caves.

Ying Yi did not alarm anyone and went directly to the cave where Erniu lived.

Wake him up.

He was shocked Erniu and was relieved when he saw that it was Ying Yi.

Ying Yi didn't talk to him anymore, and immediately asked about the situation of Bibogu.

Due to military supplies, the construction of the Jinzi Workshop and the Huo Font Workshop is first. According to estimates, it will take up to seven or eight days at most, and these two workshops can be put into use initially. The preparation of the minimum 3,000 gun tips will take about ten days. In other words, it will take another seventeen or eighteen days to get the gun tip.

As for the finished spear, it may take several more days.

This is far from what Ying Yi thought.

Bibo Valley is now on the right track. On the third day after Ying Yi came out of the mountain, the scholar sent three officials to take charge of the accounts of various expenses of Bibo Valley. Then, in two or three days, the craftsmen's family members were moved here.

The fourth sister-in-law also took on the logistics burden. She recruited ten healthy women from the craftsmen's family to be responsible for the craftsmen's daily life and diet.

Ying Yi was very satisfied with this and asked Erniu: "What about the opening of the way?"

Erniu said: "I haven't started yet. The scholar said that people are all, but they don't have tools. We have to wait for the workshop to produce tools."

Ying Yi knew it and left Erniu. He went to see the woman surnamed Yuan who was imprisoned in a cave. Seeing that she had a good meal and good sleep, he felt relieved to leave Bibo Valley and head for Crescent Valley.

When the scholar was sleeping soundly, he was awakened by Ying Yi and was shocked.

Then Ying Yi talked about the arrival of the thief from Kaifeng in Ye County, and the scholar's sleepiness suddenly woke up.

"The thief from Kaifeng... It seems that Ye County is even more chaotic." The scholar's eyes flashed: "This muddy water is the best opportunity for adults. He took a quick hit and used his courage to win a great victory."

Ying Yi shook his head: "It's not that easy. Three thousand soldiers have just started training. If the time is not high, they will not be able to go to the battlefield. Otherwise, they will die. Besides, there is no weapon or armor, and they cannot fight. I just hope that they will be entangled longer. If I give me one more month, I will be much more sure."

The scholar laughed: "The wars have never been settled in a few days. Don't worry, before the war, both sides will have some tests."

Ying Yi nodded slightly: "I think so too, but the battlefield changes rapidly, and no one has made any predictions. You must speed up and prepare the guns earlier. When the gun tip comes out, you will get the finished product for me in a few days."

"Don't worry, sir." The scholar said confidently: "A good gun barrel has been prepared in just a few days. Once the gun head comes out, it will be completed soon."

He said: "Because the adults are generous, they can get paid. The people are very enthusiastic. With craftsmen's guidance, selection and preparation are all smooth."

As he said that, he seemed to remember something and suddenly said, "By the way, sir, there is one thing. If sir, sir, I will take someone to Xiaowangzhuang tomorrow."
