Mo Kuang Shan.
The smoke and flames of war spread through the mountains.
Although this is within the jurisdiction of the Federal Government Army,
in reality, the Federal Government Army does not have many troops stationed here.
Because the Federal Government Army, in fact, only holds the land rights here, and these rights were sold to the local mining merchants and Wu Hai Shan.
Therefore, the Federal Government Army did not station many soldiers here.
When the Pigeon Blood Red Incident happened, the army was brought in from other places.
Now, the Pigeon Blood Red incident has long subsided, and naturally, those armies have been transferred away.
On the other hand;
With the fall of Ma Niu Town to the Bo Bei Army.
The Federal Government Army's main focus of defense is now on Xiao Mo Nong, Da Qu Lin, and the areas facing Ma Niu Town.
They truly could not spare more troops to defend Mo Kuang Shan, which is not considered important to the Federal Government Army.
Therefore, Mu Yao Zi's actions were very smooth.
They first attacked Wu Hai Shan's Hai Shan Mine.
The Hai Shan Mine mostly employed local laborers. When Mu Yao Zi's army arrived, these laborers ran or surrendered.”
Only Wu Hai Shan's long-term employees offered resistance.
However, those few guns could only serve as a deterrent against the miners.
Facing the army, even Mu Yao Zi's motley crew, was completely outmatched.
The mine was quickly taken.
However, the mine was not Wu Hai Shan's base.
Taking the mine was just Mu Yao Zi completing the task given by Li Ding.
The real money was in Wu Hai Shan's gambling market.
His base was also located there.
Before the action, Mu Yao Zi ordered people to disperse all the people in the market, and then he went straight to Wu Hai Shan's base.
The gambling market was not actually entirely owned by Wu Hai Shan.
It was jointly managed by the Federal Government's Minister of Mining and Wu Hai Shan.
It's just that nominally, Wu Hai Shan was the market commissioner here, and he was usually the one who appeared in public.
But the Federal Government Army did have some troops stationed here.
However, as soon as they heard that the Bo Bei Mo rebel army was coming, the Federal Government's Minister of Mining was terrified.
He had already fled with his wife and children, and all his assets, when Wu Hai Shan's mine fell.
Mu Yao Zi naturally knew this.
But he did not attack the Federal Government's Minister of Mining.
His main target was Wu Hai Shan.
He didn't want to provoke the Federal Government Army at this time.
After all, the Federal Government Army is now stretched thin and wouldn't have time to deal with him, Mu Yao Zi.
But if the Minister of Mining died here, things would be different.
Then, due to reasons like face, the Federal Government Army might attack Mu Yao Zi and his men.
As these Federal Government soldiers fled, the tourists at the gambling market also ran away upon hearing the news.
But Mu Yao Zi had already set up a blockade.
The tourists could leave, but their money and belongings had to stay.
This was also to prevent Wu Hai Shan's men from escaping.
After some time scouting, Mu Yao Zi had recognized all of Wu Hai Shan's subordinates.
Therefore, none of Wu Hai Shan's men who were left at the gambling market were able to escape.
Two hours after Mu Yao Zi's army arrived at the gambling market, the situation was already settled.
He brought his deputy to Wu Hai Shan's home.
Many precious gems were displayed in his office.
After Mu Yao Zi entered Wu Hai Shan's office, he also saw a cabinet full of books.
"Zhou Yi?"
Mu Yao Zi's deputy read in halting Chinese.
Then he said, "Boss, it seems this Wu Hai Shan is quite superstitious."
Mu Yao Zi remembered that the letter sent by the Bo Bei Army mentioned that Wu Hai Shan was cunning, and he had a system for hiding things.
His books and everything else needed to be searched carefully.
Mu Yao Zi thought that it was indeed the case.
Wu Hai Shan's mine had dug up quite a few good things over the years.
However, the Ministry of Mining had barely been able to get anything back from him.
It was evident how skilled Wu Hai Shan was at hiding things.
Mu Yao Zi pulled out a book and tore it apart, revealing a green gem.
"Search everything thoroughly!"
His subordinates understood and smashed and tore apart everything in Wu Hai Shan's house.
They indeed found quite a few good things.
Looking at the gems, the deputy excitedly said, "Boss, we're rich!"
But Mu Yao Zi had a serious expression and said, "Organize these gems and send them to Ma Niu Town."
"Why?" Mu Yao Zi's deputy was confused.
Mu Yao Zi explained, "You know the strength of the Federal Government Army. Even if all of us in the Nan Bo Mo Army combine forces, we can't win against the Federal Government Army."
"But look, the Bo Bei Army only occupied Ma Niu Town, and the Federal Government Army is already taking such careful precautions."
"Doesn't that show how powerful the Bo Bei Army is? These stones are valuable, but they can only fulfill their best potential if they are used to get us on board with the Bo Bei Army."
"Besides, we've made such a big commotion. By passing this hot potato to the Bo Bei Army,"
"We've also divided our risk in half!"
"And the benefits are still in our own hands!"
The deputy understood, "I understand, Boss. I'll have someone organize them and send them over!"
Mu Yao Zi and his men were still far inferior to a regular army.
Moreover, before they made their move, they let many tourists and the Federal Government's Minister of Mining escape.
Therefore, the news of the fall of Wu Hai Shan's mine quickly spread throughout San Bian Po.
······
Inside Ma Niu Town.
Oil Lamp, who had been sent by Guess Uncle to investigate the situation in Mo Kuang Shan, returned to report.
"Guess Uncle, as you expected, there are almost no Federal Government troops in Mo Kuang Shan."
Guess Uncle was eating, and he frowned slightly, "That's not good news."
"This means that the Federal Government Army has always been on guard against us."
"On guard?"
Oil Lamp said with disdain, "Then why did they let Mu Yao Zi's men so easily take Mo Kuang Shan?"
After saying that, Oil Lamp added with a face full of disgust, "Guess Uncle, in my opinion, apart from having more weapons and more people, Mu Yao Zi's group is no different from us!"
Putting down his chopsticks, Guess Uncle reprimanded Oil Lamp, "It depends on who you're comparing them to."
"You've been watching the well-trained and disciplined Bo Bei Army, so you think Mu Yao Zi's army is not good."
"But you have to know that the Federal Government Army and Mu Yao Zi's army are basically the same thing. It's just a matter of six of one and half a dozen of the other."
Seeing that Oil Lamp was still puzzled, Guess Uncle shook his head helplessly, "Hey, why am I telling you all this?"
He thought to himself that his brothers were not suitable to inherit his mantle.
That's why he gradually started to pay attention to Shen Xing.
Shen Xing was loyal, a good person, and quick-witted.
Except that he was too naive and inexperienced, he was almost Guess Uncle's ideal successor. Even Dan Tuo couldn't compare.
"By the way, how's Shen Xing doing?" Guess Uncle asked Oil Lamp, remembering this.
Oil Lamp replied, "Tuozi Ge sent word that Yan Bai Mei has signed the contract."
"But..."
"But what." Guess Uncle frowned and looked at Oil Lamp.
