Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 317, people are not rich without windfall

On the vast grassland, the wind is cold and there is no one inhabited.

Tang Sandao led a dozen or so brothers under his command, all of them wore thick sheep jackets, scimitars on their waists, bows and arrows on their backs, one man and two horses, and immediately brought nets and ropes. Standing on a high slope from time to time, looking around for figures with binoculars.

"Brother Tang, there is someone here~"

Monkey Horse excitedly pointed in one direction, and everyone quickly looked over.

I can't see anything clearly without a telescope, but with the help of a telescope, I can clearly see some white tents on the open grassland, which are very eye-catching, and there are even curls of cooking smoke rising.

"Haha, good luck, we only walked a few tens of kilometers before we met our prey."

Tang Sandao put down the binoculars in his hand, immediately laughed happily, and then led his people to run like a whirlwind.

But Tang Sandao wasn't reckless, stopped at a place only one kilometer away from these tents, and began to observe carefully.

"There are fifteen tents, roughly divided into three parts, the number of people will not be too many, it is suitable for us to start."

Tang Sandao licked his parched lips, his whole body became tense, this was the first time he did such a thing, it was still targeting the prairie people, just thinking about it made his mouth dry and extremely nervous.

"Wait until you get off the horse, Monkey, your team goes to the tent on the left, Cyclops, you take people to the right, and the rest follow me to the middle, remember, try not to kill people, this person is worth twenty taels of silver a piece."

Tang Sandao simply said the action plan, simple and rude, there is no wisdom at all.

"Chong~"

Soon, the three teams dispersed separately, and with Tang Sandao's order, a dozen people began to rush towards the target.

"Boom~Boom~"

The hooves of more than twenty horses kept ringing on the grassland, causing the ground to vibrate slightly. It was the first to wake up the dogs raised by these herdsmen in the grassland, and there were bursts of dog barking one after another.

At the same time, figures came out of the tents one by one, the women and children were terrified, while the men hurriedly took out their scimitars, bows and arrows, ready to fight to the death.

The grassland folk customs are tough, and the rule they believe in is that when friends come, they have fine wine and mutton, and when enemies come, they have machetes, bows and arrows. There were only five of them, but they weren't afraid at all.

As they got closer, soon both sides could clearly see each other's appearance.

"Who are you?"

The leader of the prairie people relaxed their vigilance slightly, and Da Khan led them south. This area is very close to Datong, so guests often come to visit them. The dozen or so people on the other side are dressed in sheep jackets and dressed like prairie warriors.

"Hey~"

What greeted him was a series of crossbow bolts. These crossbow bolts were not very powerful, but they were all smeared with strong anesthetics. As long as they were shot at people, they would not be fatal, but the anesthetics would quickly make people faint.

Four of the five guarding men were shot by crossbow arrows in an instant, which immediately caused screams from women and children. As for the five men, they were all furious, and they all bent their bows and set up arrows to fight back.

It's just that the faces of four of them changed drastically in an instant, and they felt numb all over their bodies, and they passed out all of a sudden.

"Whoo~"

Tang San let out a heavy breath, the arrow just now almost brushed his face, and he almost died under the opponent's bow and arrow, grassland people are good at riding and shooting, this is definitely not a joke.

He breathed a sigh of relief just now, another bow and arrow shot at him, and a person beside Tang Sandao responded and was shot directly.

Fortunately, the second round of crossbow arrows was shot out, and this time it hit the opponent very smoothly, and the opponent soon fell down in a daze.

"Tie it all up~"

Tang Sandao took the lead, rushed in immediately, and then swept towards the tents with red eyes, inside the tents, women's screams and children's cries were heard one after another.

"Oh~ there is no way."

Tang Sandao sighed inwardly, how harmonious and beautiful this scene is, but he has no choice but to destroy it, just like the countless destroyed families in the border town area.

The people under him acted very quickly, and soon, five young and middle-aged men were tied tightly with ropes, and the women and children in the tent were also driven out.

"Who are you?"

"Why?"

A series of voices continued to sound, and the angry people roared hysterically.

But Tang Sandao and the others ignored these things, and when the machete crossed over, the other party had no choice but to surrender obediently, all of them were tied tightly, and soon, everyone in this place was gathered together.

"Is Li Er dead?"

Tang Sandao carefully counted the captured people, including women and children, there were more than [-] in total, many of them were children, and some were only a few years old. At this time, everyone looked at Tang with fearful eyes. Sandao and others.

"He didn't die, which arrow hit his arm, he should go back for treatment as soon as possible."

The monkey horse replied.

"It's good if you don't die, now we're getting rich."

Tang Sandao nodded, then looked at the people caught by him in front of him, then looked at the surrounding tents, the sheep pen and the horse pen, these were all white money.

"There is meat, it's mutton~"

Tang Sandao's men couldn't wait any longer, just like bandits entering the village, they began to rummage, and soon they found the mutton boiled in the pot, and cheered immediately.

These frontier soldiers still have no problem eating now, but if they want to eat meat, don't even think about it. It's been a long time since they smelled meat, so they hurried over to grab the mutton to eat.

Tang Sandao and the others ate their fill one by one, and then began to carefully clean up their spoils. There were more than [-] captives, and children would definitely not be able to sell them for any silver. A dozen adults could sell them for more than two hundred Two silver coins, this is the biggest income.

In addition to these captives, there are dozens of horses in the stables. As long as these horses are driven to Datong, they can be sold for thousands of taels of silver.

In addition to the horses in the stables, there are also hundreds of sheep in the sheepfolds, which can be sold for a few hundred taels of silver, and there are more than a dozen cows, which can be sold for a few hundred taels of silver. As for other things Not worth the money anymore.

Ordinary people on the grasslands are similar to those in the Ming Dynasty. They are all poor. Although there are a lot of cattle and sheep, they are all dozens or hundreds, but these are their rations, and they rely on this to survive. If it is too much, it will not continue at all.

This is why once too many cattle and sheep freeze to death in winter, they have to go south to plunder, because too many freeze to death, which means that after the beginning of spring, their rations will be gone, and without cattle and sheep they Will starve to death.

"Brother Tang, get rich, get rich~"

Ma Houzi seemed very excited, a lot of cattle, sheep, horses, and so many captives, all of these are money, thinking of these, everyone under Tang Sandao was very excited.

"Clean up, pack up, take everything you can take away, and go back quickly. Fortunately, this place is close to our Datong, otherwise there are so many cattle and sheep, I really don't know how to get them back."

Tang Sandao's eyes were also red, this is simply getting rich overnight, a man can't get rich without windfall, and a horse can't be fat without weeds.

Soon, everyone started to act, packed up everything here very quickly, and headed back to the south with their trophies.

……

At the foot of the Datong City Gate, the people at the gate looked at the huge herd of cattle and sheep, and the huge number of horses below. Everyone was dumbfounded. Someone really dared to kidnap people on the grassland, and they actually let them succeed. up.

"Scarface, open the door quickly~"

Tang Sandao was arrogant at this time, his waist was straight, and he was full of momentum when he spoke.

"Ma Dan~ Tang Sandao, you guys are dying, did you really go to the grassland?"

Everyone here already knows that everyone is allowed to take captives on the grassland, but there are not many people who dare to go to the grassland to captive people, because everyone is afraid of death, how can people on the grassland be easy to provoke?
Everyone has been stationed here for a long time, and it is not once or twice to deal with the prairie people. The bows and arrows of the prairie people are frightening. It is good to rely on the city wall. If it is in the wild, a prairie man can easily deal with several Ming troops. If the distance is enough and there are bows and arrows, one person can easily shoot and kill several Ming soldiers.

Bow and horse proficiency is not joking with you, but it will really kill people.

"I'm afraid of death, of course I'm afraid of death, but I'm even more afraid of dying of poverty. It's rare to have a chance, so why not go."

"Stop talking nonsense, open the door quickly, and come down to catch a few sheep. It's my treat for the brothers. I'll drink everyone a few more glasses later."

Tang Sandao smiled and said, also generously sent a few sheep to the brothers who guarded the city gate.

This time, the harvest is very big, and the upper side must share some benefits, and the other brothers also have to follow some benefits.

"Cheerful~"

Soon the gate of the city gate slowly opened, under the gaze of many envious and jealous red eyes, Tang Sandao and others entered Datong with their loot.

This time, to the surprise of Tang Sandao and others, Master Liu, the chief executive above, ordered that no one is allowed to snatch the trophies of the brothers below, and the prisoners brought back by Tang Sandao, except for very small children Except for any money sold, as long as there is an eight or nine-year-old, all of them were given cash on the spot. As promised, there was no loss of a penny.

The news that Tang Sandao and others made a fortune overnight spread through Datong City Pass in an instant. The matter of Tang Sandao and others was discussed everywhere, and many impoverished frontier soldiers left Datong one after another and headed for the grassland. .

PS: Considering the existence of the river crab mythical beast, so I just wrote it down randomly. If you are afraid of the river crab, everyone will just wait and see~
