Mu Bai couldn't understand Mu Yuan's thoughts. This kind of person was simply adding trouble to them.
However, Mu Zi Min wasn't like Mu Bai. He smiled and said,
"Do you think the commander is a fool?”
Mu Bai naturally did not dare to.
"Why would I? It's just that I'm stupid. I really can't guess what the commander means."
Mu Zi Min looked at the village and smiled,
" For us, population is wealth. Think about it, the wood spirit officer needs labor. In the future, when the arsenal is built, labor will be needed. Even farming will need labor, and the amount of labor needed is too much. Let alone 500 people, even 5,000 or 50,000 people will not be enough."
Mu Zi Min's words made Mu Bai understand Mu Yuan's intentions. Mu Bai was a pure soldier. He might be an expert in war, but he wasn't very clear about financial matters.
Mu Yuan's plan indeed required a lot of people. The thousands of people in Anmin Town were not enough at all. Moreover, they needed wages to hire them. However, these bandits did not need wages. They only needed to take care of two meals.
Mu Yuan naturally knew what to choose.
However, even if it was a meal, as long as they could eat their fill, it was actually a very happy thing for many people.
Except for the ordinary people in big cities who could eat their fill, not many people in other places could eat their fill.
Kang Yuan was even more so.
It was because of this that they were so grateful to Mu Yuan when he reduced the taxes.
Mu Bai didn't say anything after he understood. Mu Zimin looked at the people in the stronghold. Although they were the family members of the bandits, they were also sallow and skinny. It was obvious that these people didn't live well.
Mu Zimin smiled and said,
"Hehehe, since your life is so bad, then go work for us. Anyway, we have plenty of food for you to eat."
Indeed, the Mu family had tens of thousands of acres of land, and their annual income from the land alone was several thousand silver dollars. The largest landlord in the entire An Min Town was actually the Mu family. However, the old master of the Mu family was a kind-hearted person, and the rent collection was not that terrifying. At least the people who farmed for the Mu family lived well.
Mu Zi Min and Mu Bai retreated. Two platoons of warriors were waiting in the mountain. The people in the village didn't know that someone had already set their eyes on them.
Mu Zi Min and Mu Bai arrived at the place where the warriors were, and started to arrange their tasks.
" Mu Bai, you will lead the 3rd Platoon to block all the exits of the stronghold. You have 5 squads of soldiers, you know what to do."
Mu Bai stands on the right path
"I know, Company Commander."
Mu Zimin nodded and looked at the 4th platoon leader.
"Mu Xuan, your mission is to lead four squads of soldiers to kill all the bandits in the stronghold and their firing points. As long as they resist, kill them without mercy. As for the remaining squad, leave it to me. I will sneak into the stronghold and kill all the bandit leaders. The mission is that simple. All of you will be involved. This battle is the first shot of our bandit suppression mission. Don't shoot empty-handed."
All the warriors stood at attention and muttered to themselves.
"Yes, Company Commander."
Mu Zimin looked at Mu Bai and Mu Xuan and said,
"Alright, let's move."
Mu Bai and Mu Xuan left with their own soldiers, while Mu Zimin led his squad of soldiers and sneaked into the stronghold.
The leader of the bandits in this mountain stronghold was called Wang Er. He used to be a salt seller, but because he had killed a man and had no money to move around, he could only become a bandit in the mountains. After more than ten years of operation, the whole mountain stronghold was living a good life. Of course, it was the bandits who were living well, but the families of the bandits were not living well.
At this time, Wang Er and his brothers were sitting in the hall they had built, drinking wine and eating meat. The family members outside were suffering, but these bandits had enough wine and meat. They did not lack anything at all.
At this moment, Wang Er was holding a woman who looked like a prostitute in his arms. His hands were very dishonest, but the woman did not have any disgust. She even welcomed Wang Er's hand.
Wang Er held a bowl of rice wine in his other hand. It could only be rice wine. If it was really high-grade wine, he would be lying here if he drank this bowl.
Wang Er said proudly,
"Brothers, eat well and drink well. We have enough wine and meat. This time, we have a good harvest. That rich man Song has worked hard for his entire life, but in the end, it's all good for us. Hehehe, after this job, we don't have to work for two or three years."
Wang Er's words received a response from the bandits. They all praised Wang Er's wisdom and martial arts.
The bandit's second in charge was holding a bowl of wine and a chicken drumstick in his hand. He ate and drank as he smiled and said,
"Fort Master, that Old Man Song is really rich. Good heavens, he has more than a thousand catties of grain stored at home, hundreds of catties of chicken, duck, fish, and meat, and fifty to sixty thousand yuan. He's simply rich. He has six beautiful women at home. He really knows how to f * cking enjoy himself. Hahaha!"
The words of the second head made all the bandits laugh. These bandits were all killing people and robbing goods.
Moneybags Song's money was all taken up the mountain by these people. The wealth that Moneybags Song had painstakingly saved for decades suddenly became the things that these people ate, drank, and played with.
Even the women and daughters of Song had been kidnapped up the mountain. The woman sitting in Wang Er's arms was a woman Song had brought from a brothel in the county town. She was originally her youngest concubine, but now she had become Wang Er's plaything.
Women in this era were really just playthings for men. No one would talk to you about the law during times of war. What was that? With a gun in your hand and bullets in your gun, you are the law
Although the woman lying in Wang Er's arms had some fear in her eyes, she knew that if she did not please this man, she would not be able to live. Who had a good life but liked to live in a bandit's nest?
She used to be the most favored woman in the Song family. Her family had countless money and food. It was already very good for a woman from a brothel to receive such treatment. However, who knew that she would be kidnapped in less than two years?
All the bandits in the village were drinking and eating in the hall. They did not lack food and clothes, but at this time, the families of the bandits in the village looked at the location of the hall with envy. They also wanted to eat.
But they knew that only those with guns could go in and eat.
Mu Zimin had brought a squad of soldiers and had already hidden near the hall. However, the people in the hall were all bandits, and it was not easy to execute the beheading operation at this time.
But this was not difficult for him
There was a sniper among the ten soldiers. Mu Zimin turned around and said to the sniper behind him,
"If you go to the house opposite the Hall of Righteousness, are you confident that you can kill Second Wang and Second Bandit Chief?”
The sniper looked at the Juyi Hall and the house opposite, about 200 meters away.
The sniper nodded and said,
" No problem, Captain. It's only a distance of 200 meters."
Mu Zimin smiled and said,
"Very good. When you get there, use my gunshot as a signal. The moment I shoot, kill Wang Er and Second Bandit Chief in the shortest time possible.”
The sniper nodded without hesitation and said,
"No problem, Company Commander."
Mu Zimin smiled and said,
"Very good. As long as you can do it, this mission will count as your first contribution."
The Sniper smirked and held his rifle as he lurked towards the opposite house.
The sniper's rifle was a professional sniper rifle with a 4x scope.
In addition, the VZ24 rifle was a very good rifle, and its sniper model was naturally not bad.
Even an accurate shooter could easily reach a distance of 200 meters
Not to mention a professional sniper
