When? In times of war! 440 Lord Hou, should the horse bandits be smooth?
He lay on the grass nest and recalled the scene of the day, and suddenly his heart was on fire, and the thing in the crotch of his pants was also hard, and he couldn't go back to the cottage immediately to hold the mother-in-law at home and leak the fire-
As a reward for first investigating and then being the first to enter the village, Hou Jiawei rewarded him with the woman he manipulated that day. But he had to provide the food himself, and there was no one in the village to feed the woman. In order to support this woman, he ate almost all the food he had robbed last time, but he was still reluctant to let this woman out. this woman's body every day is his greatest pleasure.
"The grain has bottomed out, that is, there are still seven or eight catties, enough for three or two days. Do you want to exchange the gold and silver jewelry you snatched last time for food? Damn, I heard that a golden hairpin can only be exchanged for five catties of grain, damn it, Bai Mazi is really black, and he is still so exploited by his own brothers. No one else is allowed to exchange with each other, only he is allowed to change, dog's day, his heart is really black. ”
He thought to himself, thinking for a while.
He was not tall, but he was very strong, and he looked like a low tree stump, with a short body and no neck, as if his head was directly on his shoulders. But his legs and arms are thick, his shoulders are wide and thick, and his clothes are tight, and he looks very strong. It's not very long, with small eyes and a big nose, a dark complexion, and messy hair.
His name is Hou Xiaonian - of course, this is only his original name, and now he has reverted to his real name, Zhang Ersan. Because he was born on the twenty-third day of the lunar month, he has the name Zhang Ersan. Later, he became Hou Jiawei's family, and since he entered someone else's house, he had to change his surname. And Hou Jiawei thought that his name was not good, and on the twenty-third day of the lunar month, according to their customs, it was Xiao Nian, so he gave him the name Hou Xiao Nian.
However, as Hou Jiawei lost his position and fled and joined Bai Mazi's horse bandit gang, these family members were no longer family members, and they should all return to their original names.
Except for Hou Jing.
Thinking of the situation after going up the mountain these days, Zhang Ersan couldn't help but sigh a little.
They really had nowhere to go that day, they had been Hou Jiawei's family for so many years, and they had been implicated too deeply, as long as they returned to the territory of Daming, it would be a dead word to be caught. And following Hou Jiawei and obeying his orders over the years has become a kind of inertia. In addition, although Hou Jiawei has undergone great changes, he has not lost his spirit, but has become more determined and fierce, and even has fighting spirit and desire for revenge in his eyes, and it is precisely because of this that they feel that there is still hope for Hou Jiawei.
Hou Jiawei took them up the mountain, there were only thirteen people in total, and at that time, the Hutou Cottage, the white Mazi horse bandits, although they had been dealt an extremely fierce blow by Dong Ce, they were still quite powerful.
At the beginning, due to the support of Hou Jiawei behind the back, the Bai Mazi gang developed rapidly, and at its peak, it had almost 3340 men - which means that the armed force it could use was 3340 people. Horse thieves don't need to be old and weak, they only need young men and some women who vent their desires, and there will naturally be casualties in previous raids, and it will be very logical to eliminate the old and weak.
So the composition of the people in the horse bandits is very simple.
And the last time he obeyed Hou Jiawei's order to attack Shilipu, only Bai Mazi stayed with forty people, and the rest of the horse thieves almost poured out. As a result, he didn't expect that stealing chickens would not make a loss of rice, and hundreds of people were killed by Dong Ce for a while, and then they suddenly came out of the city, beating the horse thieves with a big defeat and loss. More than 70 died on the spot, 16 were captured, and of the more than 200 people who fled, some of the wounded died later due to lack of medical care, so that when they went up the mountain, there were only 200 men in the village, and some of them were crippled with broken arms and lame legs.
The strength of the battle is about one hundred and eighty.
At that time, it can be regarded as a relatively empty and powerless time in the village.
Although there were not many people brought by Hou Jiawei, only thirteen, they were all wearing cotton armor and iron armor, with an average of two pairs of armor per person, with knives, bows and arrows, and they rode horses much better than the horses of the horse bandits. And the combat effectiveness of these families is known to Bai Mazi. So Hou Jiawei, who went up the mountain at that time, can be said to be a very strong help.
As soon as Hou Jiawei went up the mountain, he behaved very humble and low-key, first kneeling and kowtowing to Bai Mazi in front of everyone, calling himself the younger brother, and acknowledging Bai Mazi's status as the boss. This point is made very comfortable for Bai Mazi. And later, the silver money robbed on the road was divided into a large one, and the most abundant one was given to Bai Mazi, and all the other horse thieves had a share of the profits, which made the horse thieves below look at them a lot.
Hou Jiawei's series of performances made the cottage people recognize him very much, and they had a good impression, thinking that although this old boy was born as a dog official, he was an informed and interesting person.
And the former second master of the cottage, the first thug Yelu Lihe was arrested by Dong Ce at that time, and the leader of the cottage was suddenly left with only one white pockmark - this is not normal, because according to the rules on the green forest road, a cottage, regardless of whether you are a bandit, a horse bandit or a water thief, there must be at least two masters, and the most standard equipment is three. This is not to say that they do not know the benefits of monopolizing power - the people of the country have always been the best at power and scheming, how can anyone not know this? -- but because of the needs of reality.
Unlike the government, the thieves and bandits do not have a complete system of superiors and subordinates, a system of respect and inferiority, and there is no constraint by laws and regulations, which leads to very difficult management, and there are continuous open and secret battles, and so on. The internal management of the cottage is basically to convince people with strength and oppress people with prestige and qualifications, rather than managing people with positions. In such a situation, a person's energy is very limited, and it is difficult to do everything, so he can only rely on a few masters to manage together.
Generally speaking, the big boss is looking at the overall situation, and the big things are decided by him, and the small things can be asked anytime and anywhere, but generally speaking, he will not waste energy on small things. The second in charge is usually a good hand at handling housekeeping, and at the same time plays the role of a dog-headed military advisor. The three masters are thugs, who must be fierce and able to fight, and are mainly responsible for external affairs. Of course, the roles of the second and third masters are sometimes reversed.
After Yelu Lihe was arrested, Bai Mazi immediately promoted an old man from the cottage to serve as the second master, this is a burly man in his thirties, full of meat, before going up the mountain, he was killing pigs in Yanghe City, and he has a flower name, called 'Wu Butcher'. Wu Butcher has no ability, but he is loyal to Bai Mazi, without those messy eyes, Bai Mazi said that one is one, and he will never disobey. In this way, the situation of the cottage is firmly grasped by Bai Mazi.
Then on the day Hou Jiawei went up the mountain, he announced in front of everyone that he would appoint Hou Jiawei as the third master.
But after all, his background is too different, and he has just gone up the mountain, Bai Mazi is still wary of Hou Jiawei, and he did not give him any manpower, only let him lead these people who take them up the mountain - this is also the rule of the road, whoever brings it up the mountain is whose person, and if you and others want to divide it, it will be too shameless.
Hou Jiawei did not show any dissatisfaction with this, on the contrary, he was very deferential, very respectful to Bai Mazi and Wu Butcher, and did not have the frame of an official master at all. And when there is something important to discuss in the cottage, he never speaks easily, but as long as he opens his mouth, it must be quite insightful and convincing. And he has always been consistent with Bai Mazi, as long as it is the tone set by Bai Mazi, he has always followed it, so for more than a month, there has been no conflict, and Bai Mazi has slowly lost his vigilance against him.
Later, Hou Jiawei dedicated four pairs of cotton armor to Bai Mazi, and the cottage did not lack bows and arrows, nor did it lack weapons, after all, Hou Jiawei smuggled a lot of materials to them, but what they lacked the most was armor. Hou Jiawei still attaches great importance to this, and Bai Mazi asked for it at the beginning, but he didn't give it. Even Bai Mazi didn't have a pair of himself, because of this incident, he became very trusting of Hou Jiawei, and he was willing to give him power to let him do something.
For example, on the eighth day of the first lunar month of the previous year, he robbed Nanxiazhuang.
Nanxiazhuang was originally a small village, and the main people living in the village were people surnamed Zhang and Xia, which were basically divided into half of the families, but there were only more than 30 households. However, Nanxiazhuang is located in the traffic artery, and there is an official road not far from it, which is convenient to pass. And the land is more dangerous - to the west is a river with an abandoned kiln, and to the south is a rolling hill with dense woods that are difficult to navigate. Nanxiazhuang is built relying on the hills, which can be regarded as relying on the mountains and rivers, easy to defend and difficult to attack.
In the past two years, the place has been quiet, so many villages have joined forces to live and build village forts. Because of its good geographical location, Nanxiazhuang is in the interest, and five or six local villages have united to live in it, build village fort walls, dig trenches, and even form a team to protect the village. Everyone has the money to contribute, and the power to contribute is in case of emergency.
A small village will become a large village with a population of more than 600 households and more than 1,000 people in a blink of an eye. Since the horse thief team besieging Shilipu returned home and lost a big defeat, the white Mazi horse bandits have actually been in a state of sitting on the empty side. The stock in the cottage is getting smaller and smaller day by day, and people's hearts are becoming more and more floating, and they urgently need to go out and get a big one. The wealth and large population of Nanxiazhuang have long made Bai Mazi salivate, but the terrain of Nanxiazhuang is dangerous, and compared to the horse bandits, it can be regarded as a high city and deep pool, and it is a hard stubble that pierces his hands, so he has never been able to make up his mind.
