The heavens start with letting the bullets fly

Chapter 457 The plot begins
As usual, on the night after the robbery, everyone gathered together and had a good meal. On the one hand, it was to celebrate the victory of the robbery, and to pay homage to the dead brothers.

After all, without the brothers fighting with their lives, the big guy couldn't grab so many things back.

Chen Zhao took the main seat, holding a bowl of wine, looking at the men, women and children in the whole village, and at the many tables and chairs that were empty but filled with wine, and shouted: "Go with peace of mind!"

"Go with peace of mind!" Thousands of people responded in unison.

Everyone drained all the wine in the bowl in one go.

After paying homage to the dead brothers, the big guys ate meat and drank wine, and there was a lot of joy.

Chen Zhao looked up at the bright moon hanging high, feeling that it was a lively night.

On the second day, he convened a meeting with the leaders of the cottage.

"What we robbed this time was the food and grass of the Qing army. I heard that they gave it to the Kuizi camp. Everyone knows that the Kuizi camp is the main force of the Qing army. It has excellent muskets and many soldiers. If they find out that it is us If you are robbed, you will definitely come back with revenge. We will definitely suffer heavy losses by then."

"Even if they can't find us, if we rob the army a few more times, we will be exposed sooner or later. If the Qing court wants to fight the Taiping army, we must ensure that we have no worries. We will be targeted by them sooner or later, so the big guys discuss and discuss. What should I do next?"

Chen Zhao said.

"The head of the family, what are you afraid of them doing? We also have muskets now." Shi Jinbiao shouted.

"Jinbiao, no matter how powerful our muskets are, they won't be able to hold back the strength of others." Said Wang Feng, the mature and prudent leader of the cottage.

"Then fight them!" Shi Jinbiao shouted.

"Of course we have to fight, but if we fight too much, we will all die, and the men, women and children behind us will be bullied by them." Ye Fusheng, another leader, retorted.

Shi Jinbiao fell silent.

He also knew that bandits and officers and soldiers could not fight hard.

There are few people on my side, but the other side is constantly sending out troops, which can consume them to death.

But he, Shi Jinbiao, and the Qing court do not share the same hatred, if the Qing court wants to come, he can only fight.

But the problem now is that everyone can't afford to fight head-on.

If you don't resist stubbornly, do you want to kneel down and surrender to the Qing court?

Thinking of this problem, he couldn't help but look at Chen Zhao.

Not only him, but all the bosses also thought of this, and all looked at Chen Zhao.

You are the backbone of the big guy, the pillar, the owner of the cottage, what do you think we should do?
Jiang Wuyang, a handsome guy with an unshaven beard, said, "Brother, what do you think we should do? We all listen to you."

As soon as he said this, everyone echoed.

"Yes, listen to the master!"

"We listen to the master!"

"Yes, the big boss makes up his mind, we will follow suit."

After some discussion, Shi Jinbiao's rebellious face also showed anticipation.

Chen Zhao stretched out his hand and flicked on the armrest, and when everyone's voices gradually subsided, he said, "Talk about ten thousand, no matter what we do in the future, we must first twist into a rope."

"Starting today, we have to pick out elite soldiers and practice musket shooting well. No matter who comes to attack us, we have to tear off a piece of their flesh, so that they don't dare to attack us easily."

The crowd nodded.

It is true that they are bandits, but they are also bandits located in the war zone between the Qing court and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

Unlike the chieftains in Yunnan and Guizhou, they have no knowledge at all.

We all know that muskets are powerful, even more powerful than bows and arrows. As long as muskets hit densely, no amount of skill can hold them back.

Since we have robbed so many muskets this time, of course we have to build a musketeer team.

"Muskets are more expensive than swords and spears. They can't be fired without bullets, and they need daily maintenance."

"Besides, we have muskets, so we can attack those landlords, grab gold and silver, grain and cloth, and even recruit elites to join us. Shi Jinbiao, Wu Yang, you young people, you can also grab a woman to become a wife .”

"Hahaha..." Everyone laughed out loud.

"Now that the Qing court and the Taiping army are fighting each other, they don't really have much energy to pay attention to us. In the future, as long as we don't provoke them easily, make a fortune in silence, keep accumulating guns, and strengthen the team, wait until the two sides decide the winner. We have long been a big force, and no one dares to underestimate us. When my mother-in-law first learned it, it was called a feudal town in books, and it didn’t listen to the instructions. What happened to Kuiziying, who ever shaved his head, Even the Empress Dowager Cixi in the capital can't do anything to us! Maybe we can conquer the capital and take the bird position."

"At that time, you, Shi Jinbiao, can still be a great general and kill all the corrupt officials who harmed your family."

Shi Jinbiao was excited when he said a word.

"You, Ye Fusheng, will be a minister, in charge of officials all over the world. Whoever dares to grin at you will take off his black hat."

"Hey." Ye Fusheng scratched the back of his head and smiled honestly.

"Brother, when the time comes, you will be the emperor, and Liansheng's sister-in-law will be the queen, and I will stand guard for you!" Jiang Wuyang shouted.

He is a fanatical admirer of Zhao Erhu, and he wholeheartedly wants to follow his elder brother.

"Go! At that time, I still need you to stand guard for me? Isn't that the eunuch's job? You can just be the governor of Liangjiang, domineering in Jinling City, and do whatever you want, wouldn't that be better?"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

A group of people laughed.

When everyone's laughter subsided, Chen Zhao stood up and stood with his hands behind his back: "It's far away, I'm bragging, I can't do it accurately, but it's close, for all of us to live well, we have to train elite soldiers, In addition to practicing musketry, I have to teach everyone how to read and write. I have my words first, and I will lead everyone to live. If anyone objects, leave as soon as possible.”

No one left.

Because everyone is a bandit, although their knowledge is not high, they are always higher than the ignorant fools in the countryside.

Everyone knows that if you want to survive in this troubled world, you must have soldiers, guns and strength.

Otherwise, it will be over sooner or later.

So from this day on, Chen Zhao began to organize and train the team, select the backbone, and train the Musketeers.

According to the situation at the time and combined with his experience in military training, he first selected a musketeer team of 400 people and started training from walking in unison.

Of course, he did not just blindly train harshly. He also talked to his subordinates on a daily basis, visited various houses in the cottage, and kept chatting with everyone, trying to solve practical problems.

In the evening, he summoned the little leaders of the Musketeers, including Jiang Wuyang of course, and began to teach everyone how to read and write.

Everyone thinks that Liansheng, the mother-in-law of Zhao Erhu, the master of the great village, was a Yangzhou skinny horse. She taught piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since she was a child. It is not surprising that he knows so many things.

He didn't stop training for the teams that didn't practice muskets.

After training in this way for three months, taking advantage of another battle between the Qing army and the Taiping army, he led his troops deep into the mountainous area at the eastern foot of Dabie Mountain, and began to attack the landlord "Weizi" in a town.

He had muskets, elite soldiers, disguised himself, went in to survey the terrain, and adopted the most suitable tactics. Sure enough, he captured the siege in one battle and gained a lot of wealth.

Then he pulled the landlord's family onto the stage and held a complaint meeting.

As soon as the meeting opened, there was a burst of crying.

When he divided the fields, the surrounding farmers joined the army enthusiastically.

He began to establish political power in the small town.

Fight local tyrants, divide the land, build a strong army, and at the same time recruit people to teach everyone how to read and write.

These years, the government and the landlords frantically oppressed and exploited the people, and the hatred between the two sides was too great, so Chen Zhao's power quickly snowballed.

In just one year, he occupied half of Lu'an Prefecture. Hundreds of thousands of people under his command divided their fields. There were 5000 troops under his command, including [-] musketeers.

Of course, some of these guns were smuggled from the Qing soldiers, and some were bought from the Taiping Army.

In addition, he also established an initial industrial workshop, and built a machine powered by water power, which could repair guns and make bullets.

But how low-key he is developing, the local tyrants and evil gentry killed by him are quite a few, and people continue to sue, the Qing court will pay attention sooner or later.

Chen Zhao also knew that such a day would come sooner or later.

But he first noticed a piece of information.

In view of the fact that Shucheng in southern Anhui was the stronghold for the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom to penetrate into Anhui Province, relying on it, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom could continuously obtain food from Anhui Province and maintain their political power. Therefore, in order to eliminate the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the Qing army decided to pull out this nail as soon as possible.

So they sent guerrilla commander Pang Qingyun, led an army of 500 people, and joined hands with the Kuizi battalion to attack Shucheng.

When Chen Zhao saw this information, he couldn't help laughing.

He knew that the plot of the movie was coming.

For this, he was ready.

This time, he is going to turn the world upside down.
