Dong Yao Dong Yao, I am your father, respond if you hear me.
Fang Er was speechless.
Could Chai Shao, that old man, not come up with a codename for himself?
Dong Yao received, please speak.
Dong Yao Dong Yao, I am your father, discovered a clue to a silver mine! Over.
Next was a series of exchanges over the walkie-talkie.
After Chai Shao set out with Liu Meng and the third battalion, he began his search.
The focus was on the coastal hills and some villages.
Just now, as they passed through a village, the silversmith in their team unexpectedly discovered several small children using stones that gleamed with silver to hit birds.
This filled them with surprise and joy.
Disregarding the cries of the children, they had the stones snatched away.
After a careful inspection, they confirmed it was indeed silver ore!
However, they couldn't communicate with the villagers to determine the origin of the silver mine, which led them to find Fang Er.
The walkie-talkie's maximum communication distance was fifteen li, for which Chai Shao had to walk back for a long time before contacting him.
This was important business, and Fang Er quickly sent someone to bring back Meichuan Kutou, who had only recently left.
It was quite a distance from here, so setting up the camp here would be inconvenient. Thus, they all set out.
The more than three hundred people first returned to the seaside camp, then followed the markers left by Chai Shao and pursued them.
Although it was only thirty li, it took them nearly an hour to rendezvous with them.
This village was surrounded by mountains on three sides and faced the sea on one side, with beautiful scenery.
Chai Shao and his men were confronting the villagers.
Upon seeing Meichuan Kutou, Chai Shao grabbed him and dragged him over.
Fiercely, he said, "Ask them where this stone came from."
Meichuan Kutou was a merchant and had seen silver mines before. With just one glance, he understood why the father-in-law of this Marquis was so agitated.
He began questioning the villagers.
The result was unexpected.
The stones were found by the children at the foot of the mountain behind the village!
These villagers had only ever heard of silver, never seen it, and had no idea they were sitting on a silver mountain while living lives of hunger and raggedness.
Several silversmiths excitedly ran towards the mountain behind the village.
Fang Er, meanwhile, sent Liu Meng and his men to find Yu Chi Jingde.
The village was to be requisitioned immediately.
With just a few bags of grain and some copper coins, the villagers happily accepted the terms.
Taking the money and food, they left.
After everyone had left, Fang Er said to Meichuan Kutou, "Go and spread the news of the silver mine here!"
Meichuan Kutou couldn't believe Fang Er's words.
Such important news, which they feared could not be hidden, he was going to publicize.
Chai Shao slapped Meichuan Kutou on the head, "Do as you're told! Hurry!"
Meichuan Kutou nodded and bowed repeatedly before leaving.
Chai Shao chuckled, rubbing his hands together.
He understood Fang Er's intentions perfectly: to use this silver mountain to attract the mine laborers to come to them willingly.
"Kid, this time, you must let me have my fill of fighting!"
Fang Er nodded, "Don't worry, I'll definitely let you have your fill."
Chai Yue, along with Xiao Qing, had been sent by Fang Er into the village to find accommodation.
Xing'er, along with the female servants and strong men, was teaching the Tang language in an open space.
Learn quickly and get food; learn slowly, get beaten, and get no food.
The buckets of rice and roasted fish placed before them were a great temptation to these people.
In the afternoon, two artisans came over, carrying a stone weighing five or six catties.
"Marquis, you are truly amazing. The mountain behind here is all silver ore! This is a silver mountain."
Another artisan corrected him, "No, no, Marquis, not just one, but there is silver ore in the surrounding mountains as well!"
Fang Er, not understanding the purity of the ore, asked, "Is this mine rich?"
The artisans nodded repeatedly, "Rich! Rich enough to flow with oil!"
"Then what are you waiting for! Light the furnace! Make all the preparations. Miners will be here soon!"
Fang Er exclaimed excitedly, slapping the table as he stood up.
The two artisans left, taking the other artisans with them, and began setting up smelting furnaces at the foot of the mountain behind the village.
Yu Chi Jingde and his men didn't arrive until evening.
After a simple dinner, they began to set up defenses. wap.kanshuwu.net
Fang Er also sent people to notify the fleet, and after daybreak, they would go to Jincheng to bring the Mie Lu Army over.
It was time to make a grand move.
Two days later, three five-toothed warships, along with countless small boats, appeared by the sea.
Chai Shao was overjoyed.
These were his true subordinates.
Yu Chi Jingde took on the role of his deputy.
An army of twelve thousand men laid out a trap at the entrance of the village, waiting for the miners to report for duty.
Meichuan Kutou did not disappoint Fang Er.
Within a few days, a large group of people arrived.
Zhang Tian was perched on a large tree, holding a telescope and observing the approaching crowd. There were about two thousand people.
Although flying was dangerous, he had fallen in love with this feeling of being high above.
He, who couldn't climb trees before, had managed to climb them like walking on level ground in just two days.
It had to be said that hobbies were the greatest motivation.
He took out his walkie-talkie and reported to Fang Er.
"Dong Yao Dong Yao, this is Fei Tian Yi Hao, two thousand miners are approaching, please prepare to receive them!"
"Fei Tian Yi Hao, Dong Yao received, continue observation."
Listening to the voice from Fang Er's walkie-talkie, Chai Shao held his Mo Dao.
He had been coveting this weapon for a long time, having traded a zhang two steel spear from Zhao Long for it.
He rubbed the hilt with both hands, excitedly sticking out his tongue to lick his lips.
Before long, a group of short figures, about one meter thirty to one meter forty tall, appeared in their sight.
Their weapons were as dilapidated as ever.
As they slowly walked into the encirclement, Chai Shao directly ordered, "Attack!"
Instantly, over ten thousand men appeared.
Those Japanese were stunned!
They glanced at the gleaming steel swords in the hands of the Mie Lu Army and the Tian Huo Army, then looked at the crude tools in their own hands, which were even unsuitable for digging holes.
"Mabai Pi, I'm not playing anymore!"
They immediately dropped their weapons and surrendered.
Chai Shao was furious. These guys were too cowardly! kanshula
Liu Meng led the third battalion forward, tied everyone up, and took them back for re-education.
Meanwhile, Fang Er sat smiling in the middle of the road and said to Chai Shao, "Father-in-law, do not be anxious, these are just some insignificant forces.
When the news reaches their Emperor's ears, a large army will surely be sent.
When silver ore appears in one's own territory and is occupied by outsiders, anyone would find it hard to swallow.
Therefore, fishing is the most effortless method.
As for mining and smelting, others will be busy with that.
He would just sit here in the middle of the road, drinking wine, smoking, and enjoying himself day by day!
Seven waves of people came in succession, all of them insignificant forces. The largest group did not exceed the two thousand people from the first wave, which greatly disappointed Chai Shao. He lost even the interest in touching his sword.
This continued until half a month later.
