There was naturally no martial arts training ground on the hilltop of Taoyuan Gang. It was an open-air camp anyway, so if you wanted to bargain, anywhere would be a good place.

But now the Taoyuan Gang has more than 7,000 people, so it has naturally been re-planned.

A large flat area near the mountain was designated as a martial arts training ground by Lin Jiuxi. There was no need to set up a target, as there were many trees on the back mountain, so he simply placed a cushion on the tree with a red heart painted on it.

Zhang Yi and others were training and competing with each other.

Although it only took one day, these bandits who had never touched a bow and arrow, and naturally had no chance to touch a crossbow, were able to achieve half the accuracy.

This was beyond Lin Jiuxi's expectations.

You know, she asked Linglong yesterday about the accuracy of archers in this era.

Lin Jiuxi shouted loudly: "In short, what we want now is a peaceful, simple, self-reliant life. They are unwilling to give it to us."

Within ten arrows, the accuracy can reach more than 80%. Within twenty arrows, the accuracy drops to 40%. And beyond twenty arrows, even the best archers will be exhausted and lose their accuracy, and can only shoot randomly.

Many adults were also very scared after hearing this, but they stood more firmly on Lin Jiuxi's side.

Many of them recalled their life in Hezhou, where they worked diligently all year round. But this drought caused countless relatives to lose their lives. Those officials usually had a good life, and now it was even worse. They didn't take the death of the people seriously.

Is all this their fault? Of course not, they refuse to admit it. They may have some minor faults, but their crimes are not punishable by death, and they do not deserve such punishment from God.

"I know that you all came here not because of me or someone else, but because this place can temporarily give you the warmth of home."

"Boss, we all listen to you! We will do whatever you say." The facts after coming here have proved to them that they will probably not go wrong if they listen to Lin Jiuxi.

"Do you have to kill us all? What have we done wrong?"

Lin Jiuxi smiled with satisfaction, and then announced some very bad news.

"But some people don't like how we are so self-reliant. They went to the emperor and complained about us, saying that we are bandits who should not exist and should be eliminated. So the emperor sent General Lin, and he will come to us soon. He may kill us, or he may arrest us all."

This time they were just as willing to believe it.

They asked angrily, “Why?”

The atmosphere among the people below gradually heated up, and they shouted: "No, we are not bandits!"

They made more money by raising the price of rice. The people were suffering, but they enjoyed themselves more and more, and were completely oblivious to the suffering outside.

Zhang Yi and his companions, who used crossbows, shot more than 20 arrows a day, and even 200 times. If it wasn't for the fact that it was already dark and the target couldn't be seen, with Zhang Yi's spirit, he could have probably played it hundreds of times more.

From sixty-year-old men to three-year-old children, almost everyone who could move was mobilized and prepared to fight.

At night, Lin Jiuxi held a bonfire party.

Looking at the fanatical following of his subordinates, Lin Jiuxi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and breathed a long sigh of relief. For the first time, he felt that he actually had the potential to be a pyramid scheme leader.

"When you were in Hezhou, you worked hard to farm. When the weather was good, you were taxed and accepted it willingly. After all, the money was used to support the soldiers, and they would protect you."

Such a terrifying metaphor scared the young children and made them cry loudly.

"We have paid taxes for so many years and lived a hard life for so many years. Why do they have to force us to death?"

"So what should we do?"

"This is not your fault. If this was your problem, how could God allow us to gather here?" Lin Jiuxi saw their hesitation and spoke gently.

"Yes. No one wants to die, not even us." Lin Jiuxi affirmed, and then he told us the guerrilla warfare strategy that he had prepared long ago: "We can't be led by them by the nose anymore. Before their troops arrive, all we can do is to train in this short period of time."

"We grow our own food, we rely on ourselves."

"Maybe there are still some people who are not aware of the situation and will regard us as bandits. They call us the bandits of Taoyuan Gang. But ask yourself, if others don't understand, can you not understand it? Are there such bandits? They don't think about food, they just go to the fields. They buy things in the city with their own money, and no one ever dares to eat and dine for free. If such people are called bandits, then may I ask, is there anyone in this world who is not called a bandit?" Lin Jiuxi's tone was filled with indignation.

After the mobilization meeting, the Taoyuan Gang became completely lively again.

"But now Hezhou has been hit by a disaster and you can't survive. The officials who once said they would protect you have turned a blind eye to you. No, not only did they turn a blind eye, they also allowed profiteers to raise the price of rice, making it impossible for you to survive and you have no choice but to wander around."

The atmosphere below has already been completely lifted, and there is no need for Lin Jiuxi to take the initiative.

"Why? Are you not working hard enough? Have you made any mistakes?" Lin Jiuxi questioned them loudly.

Under the blazing firelight, Lin Jiuxi stood on a high platform with a simple paper tube loudspeaker in his hand.

“I don’t want to die!”

"We can only run away and fight back when they come. Otherwise, we will be like a worm under their iron hoof and will not survive until winter."

Those who were capable of fighting were put into civil defense training, while the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled became logistics troops.

They dug caves in the mountains and forests as a rear base. If General Lin came with his troops, they would have a place to escape if they couldn't defeat him.

There are many things to do in daily life. Arrows can be sharpened by picking up any stone. Feathers must not only be collected but also shredded.

As for people like Liu Jia who have some skills, they are even busier because there are a lot of weapons waiting for them to modify.

When the time agreed with Linglong arrived, Linglong did not leave as planned.
