Chapter 65 Rainy Season
Generally speaking, everything on Linshan is going well. Under the suppression of the iron fist and the solicitation of money, there are also all kinds of horse bandits who have never heard of before. After the benefits are thrown out one by Yang Yu one by one, there is no horse bandit in Linshan who will miss the previous era of urging the ruling, and they are also working hard to make money. It's a desperate job to follow anyone, but one refuses to give a mouthful of leftovers, and the other not only scatters a lot of money, but also arranges the aftermath properly. Now the bandits only ask Yang Yu not to really disband them all in five years.
After letting all the horse bandits return to their hearts, Yang Yu picked out a hundred horse bandits with the best horse bandits who rode and stretched out their hands. These 100 horse bandits can ride and shoot, and they can also catch up with short soldiers. Whether they are on horse or under the horse, they are good hands. Previously, they were also the backbone force when urging Biao to kill them, picking out 100 people. After that, Yang Yu casually gave the name of the Pioneer Camp to show the difference from other horse bandits. The Pioneer Camp was not only equipped with the best mounts and used the best weapons, but also gave out 1,000 taels of silver per person at that time.
Naturally, the wealth of the bandits can only be to rob the caravan, but without any action, as long as they can enter the vanguard camp of 100 people, there will be 1,000 taels of silver to take, but it also makes the horse bandits who can't enter the vanguard camp jealous, and entering the vanguard camp is not only a matter of 1,000 taels of silver, whether they have action or not, first Feng Camp has 300 taels of silver to take every month, and ordinary horse bandits must make way when they see the people of the vanguard camp. This time, the people of the vanguard camp not only have silver, but also have great brilliance on their face. For a group of bandits who do not take their lives seriously but regard their face more than the sky, silver is still The key is that no one needs to be taller, but now they have to meet and salute, which makes a kind of horse bandit with high eyes bear it, but their skills are not as good as others. They can't squeeze into the stormtroopers, but they can only do nothing about it.
Although he was proud to enter the vanguard, he did not dare to be careless. Instead, he needed to practice hard for no other reason. The vanguard could enter and get out. There were many benefits to entering the vanguard camp. Of course, no one would take the initiative to leave. The only reason for leaving the vanguard camp was to be kicked out.
The reason why Yang Yu wants to set up a vanguard camp is that in addition to selecting elites, the most important thing is to introduce a competition mechanism among the horse bandits. Therefore, Yang Yu's rule is that all horse bandits have to conduct an assessment every month. Those with the top 100 assessment results will enter the vanguard camp, and those with less than 100 will automatically withdraw and be replaced by others. Go up.
The benefits of the Pioneer Camp naturally attracted countless people to break their heads and want to squeeze in. Therefore, from the moment when the Pioneer Camp was established and Yang Yu's rules were promulgated, the efforts of the horse bandits were immediately different. It turned out that the bandits who had nothing to do were looking for their own fun, but now when they had a little free time, the bandits were definitely Living alone, or in groups of hard practice, those who enter the vanguard camp do not want to be kicked out of the vanguard camp, but those who fail to enter the vanguard camp are also eye-sighted and want to squeeze into the vanguard camp, which represents honor and silver.
After dealing with the bandits, the slaves also had something to do. Yang Yu's main purpose of defeating Linshan was for the iron ore in Linshan, so the work of mining iron ore was immediately carried out, but it was only to mine iron ore first. After the originally planned to stand in Linshan, immediately let all the remnants of Yunzhou be all The time to move to Linshan needs to be postponed. Yang Yu dares not move all the remnants of Yunzhou to Linshan before the matter of the Lu family is really resolved. However, as long as those slaves mined out the iron ore in advance, as long as they can ensure that the Lu family will not cause trouble, the progress of smelting will be greatly accelerated.
Of course, Lin Shan's guard work is the top priority. Except for 100 people in the vanguard battalion who have weapons, the rest of the horse bandits in Linshan still have no weapons for the time being. It turns out that all the weapons in the hands of the horse bandits have been given to the werewolves. Compared with the newly attached horse bandits, Yang Yu is certainly more Trusted werewolves, and the task of guarding Linshan mainly depends on the more than 500 weapond werewolves and 100 leopard men.
And Linshan faces the biggest and most urgent food problem. After Baowei proposed that it can rely on hunting to maintain it first, there is no need to worry about it in a short period of time, and the best candidate for hunting is the werewolf. For the werewolf, as long as there is a mad wolf, it doesn't matter whether there is a weapon or not to hunt. Let the wolf have white eyes temporarily Five hundred werewolves without weapons to hunt are enough to supply the demand of the whole forest mountain.
After hurriedly making arrangements for Linshan's affairs, Yang Yu embarked on the road to the ghost gate on the third day after getting Linshan.
Yang Yu took 100 people from the Pioneer Camp, accompanied by Gao Yongming, Yang Dazui and Ma Liu. Although the road to Guimen is not very far, it adds up to a little more than 400 miles. Although the distance is not too far, in this 400 miles, there is a whole 300 miles of desert and 100 on the grassland. Many miles can be completed in two days at most, but 300 miles of desert will take at least half a month.
In order to show enough sincerity, Yang Yu not only prepared 100,000 taels of gold for the Lu family, but also brought all the goods that the Lu family could not transport before. There are 20 four-horse carts of these goods and gold alone. When walking in the desert, water is the top priority and nothing can be left without, but there is no water. Therefore, in addition to pulling goods and gold carts, there are also 30 carts pulling grass on the road of clear water and horses. Fortunately, when Linshan plundered the caravan, they were taken away with the goods and carts. Linshan has accumulated enough carriages and horses. If not, Yang Yu would have to deal with how to transport the goods to the ghost gate. It hurts.
A total of 50 big cars, each of which was taken care of by two people. In addition to the 100 people in the Pioneer Camp, Yang Yu drove to the ghost gate with a vast convoy.
The carriage was on the road, and the speed was naturally not fast. The next afternoon after leaving Linshan, the motorcade rushed to the east side of Dinghai Bridge. When they arrived here, although they could not see the sea, they could already smell the fishy smell brought by the sea breeze.
Since crossing, although Yang Yu has repeatedly heard the name Dinghai Bridge, he has never seen the Dinghai Bridge between the two continents. At this time, he learned that he was about to see the famous Dinghai Bridge, which was naturally difficult to calm down. However, although Yang Yu was anxious, he could not cross the Dinghai Bridge immediately, so he could only force himself to bear it. The mood is to let the whole convoy go to the Jinshui River to repair first, and let people have a rest. The main reason is that all the water trucks must be filled with water. Although there is no shortage of water in Linshan, it takes a long time to fill 20 water trucks, and it is different from taking water in the Jinshui River. It can be 20 water trucks at the same time. To get water, this can not only save a lot of time, but also make the horses pulling the waterwheel easily walk more than 100 miles and save a lot of horsepower.
After arriving at the Jinshui River, the people and horses all cheered and plunged into the river to drink. After everyone was full of water, they also drank all the horses. Without Yang Yu's instructions, the horse bandits began to think about adding water to the water cart. Yang Yu looked at the sky and felt that the sun was still high. Now he shouted, "Brothers, speed up. Speed, let's install water earlier to cross the Dinghai Bridge.
Although the bandits are a little puzzled about the uncomfortable riverside camping in the desert, since the boss has already said something, he has to do so. At present, the speed of adding water has been accelerated a little, but after thinking about the seaside for a long time, Ma Liu is Cema walked to Yang Yu and arched his hand and said, "I don't know whether to say a small sentence or not. If it's wrong, please don't blame the big master."
Yang Yu said, "If you have anything to say, there is nothing to blame."
Ma Liu nodded and said, "Although the big boss is indeed a little urgent, the little dare to ask the big boss to order a rest here for one night and cross the Dinghai Bridge tomorrow."
Yang Yu was in a hurry to set out, but he just wanted to see the Dinghai Bridge earlier, but not to get to the ghost gate as soon as possible. However, when he heard Ma Liu persuade him to cross the Dinghai Bridge the next day, he was still a little strange. He said, "Oh, why?"
Ma Liu pointed to the sun and said, "Please look there. There are faint clouds under the sun. It is estimated that there will be heavy rain tonight. According to the day, this year's rainy season has arrived, but it has never rained. I didn't expect that we came out and met it. If it really rained heavily, there would not have camp here. What's the big deal, but it's different in the desert. The sand and rain are all mud, and it's not good to spend the night in the mud.
Yang Yu grew up and said, "Damn it, isn't it? Isn't it a desert after crossing the Dinghai Bridge? Will it rain in the desert? What was the rainy season you just said? Don't tell me that there is also a rainy season in the desert.
Ma Liu said stunnedly, "This, the big head, there is no lie. There are two seasons here, and it rains almost every day for five months in summer. Don't you know?"
The corners of Yang Yu's mouth twitched. It would be strange if he knew. No one had mentioned to him that it would rain here every day for five months a year, and Yang Yu couldn't imagine that in the desert less than 50 meters away from him, how could it be rain or desert for five months? How can it rain so much when you walk west to the desert? In Yang Yu's cognition, this is absolutely impossible.
Yang Yu pointed to the northern desert with a surprised face, that is, the place where he just came out, and shouted, "Do you think it will rain in this desert? And can it be several months at a time? If so, is this still a desert? If it really rains for five months in a row, how can there be a desert in this place?
