Chapter 42 (1/2)
Why is he called a bandit? Because the nearby forces don't recognize him as regular.
You call me white bandit and I call you black bandit. When most of them become climate, they occupy many cities. Those who occupy a small mountain and a small county are also happy.
The scuffle was endless. It was a bit more lively than the time in Gu Zheng's favorite storytelling of the romance of the Three Kingdoms.
The original owner who hired him is now in the power of a gang called horse bandits.
The horse bandits are very powerful. They are different from those forces outside. The structure of the members of the horse bandits is very simple. They are organized by the young generation in the province called Gansu Province.
Gansu Province is also very famous in the world, that is, extensive, tough and famous cavalry in other provinces since ancient times.
The man of Gansu Province, equestrian is a skill handed down from generation to generation.
No matter how old a man is, as long as he gets on his horse, he is the bravest knight.
In addition, people in Gansu Province have been living on horseback since ancient times. After generations of inheritance, even people's body and physique have changed in response to Darwin's theory of evolution and towards better adapting to life on horseback.
For example, their legs are usually not long, and there is a slight O-shaped trend. For another example, their upper and lower limbs are relatively strong, which is more able to adapt to the life of riding on horses for a long time than ordinary people.
Of course, no matter how strong the individual combat ability is, it can't stand many others. Then, to what extent has the horse bandits in Gansu Province been popularized?
Gu Zheng can responsibly tell you through his memory that the horse bandits here are soldiers who travel hundreds of miles a day and farmers with dung baskets when they get off.
When something big happens, the most ordinary men who hide in the countryside in all directions will take the mounts that never allow them to do rough work at home, turn over and mount the horse, whistle in their mouth, and gather a team at the entrance of the village.
It comes like lightning and goes like wind. It's so flexible.
In addition, the border between Gansu Province and other provinces is just blocked by a thousands of miles long and high altitude Qishan mountain.
It also provides a natural barrier for the horse bandits' paradise.
Finally, it is located in a remote place. Except for the medicine merchants and the Trade Chamber of Commerce, there will be no other forces to focus on this land where there are not rich products.
Logically speaking, such horse bandits are the easiest to survive in such a chaotic environment.
Because the reason why they gather together is not as complex as the power seeking gangs outside. They just want to have the ability to protect themselves in this troubled world.
What's more, the work of horse bandits can also earn a supplementary income for their families who are not rich?
Yes, these young people in Gansu Province will spontaneously ride their most proud mules and horses towards Weilang mountain, the hinterland of Gansu Province.
There is a stockade used by their caravan to repair, which is also where they are most convinced that Ma Da is in charge.
It's always right to come to the head of the family during the slack season.
Because every time this season, it is the day when medicinal merchants, ore merchants, horse dealers and leather merchants outside Qishan enter the mountain to purchase goods.
Here, there are a large number of jobs waiting for them to undertake.
In this vast Gobi and endless red earth mountains crisscrossed Gansu Province, if there are no horse bandits who are very familiar with the local terrain as guides and escort bodyguards, these businessmen will end up with only two.
