Chapter 20: The Big Landlord Bai Mancang (First Update)
Bai Mancang is the largest landowner in Jinan, and he alone controls almost ninety percent of the land in Lishu County, and his tenants are said to have tens of thousands. In Lishu County, he is definitely the top character.
This time, the team sent by the Jilin Provincial Government under Feng Yong's control was not expected by the leader. Old man Hu is also the military advisor of the vulture bandit group, the most ferocious bandit group in Jinan. The only one alive in the entire vulture bandits.
In fact, Feng Yong's use of this old man was also because of an accident. That time, Feng Yong went to inspect the station of the health company, and happened to see where Old Man Hu was boiling medicine. This made Feng Yong feel very surprised. You must know that Old Man Hu is an important figure in the Vulture Thieves Group, and he should be the great enemy of these women, but Feng Yong saw with his own eyes that the women who were raised here showed a smile at Old Man Hu, and this smile was definitely from the heart. This made Feng Yong feel strange. Later, I asked Piaoxue, that is, the masked platoon commander of the sanitary platoon, to know that this old man Hu was one of the few good people in the vulture bandit group.
Later, as soon as Feng Yong understood, he was immediately overjoyed. This old man Hu was formerly known as Hu Shiheng, originally a person from a declining family of scholars in the Northeast, and his family had not declined to this extent when he was a child, this old man was still a prodigy when he was a child, and was later promoted to Tianjin School, and later he was promoted to study in Japan, but unfortunately he did not finish his studies, and he was forced to return to China because of financial problems. At that time, the Qing Dynasty was still under the rule, the political system was rigid, and there was no market for people like him who had received new ideas. Therefore, he couldn't get along, so he had to return to his hometown to teach and live. Later, when the Russo-Japanese War came along, he and the vultures were fellow villagers again, and they were forcibly pulled into the vultures' ranks. At that time, vultures were nowhere near as ferocious as they are now.
Later, the vulture became a major tumor in Jinan, and the old man Hu, who had already been deeply involved in it, could only try not to plot harmful things for the vulture. And also helped these poor women many times.
Knowing this, Feng Yong began to change his opinion of the timid old man Hu, and summoned him to his side the next day, and then asked him to try to help him deal with government affairs. Not to mention, people who have been educated in foreign ideology at this time are different, and Old Man Hu understands many things at one point.
Feng Yong made a decision on the spot, and Old Man Hu became Feng Yong's staff. Assist him in handling the affairs of the provincial government.
This time, four townships and towns have been added at once, and the other three are easy to say, there is no tricky big landlord force, but Lishu County is different, not to mention that the big landlord Bai Mancang himself is what they know how to deal with, just saying that the well-equipped security team in his hand is not easy to deal with.
Originally, Feng Yong wanted to come in person, but unfortunately there was no one under him who could be completely independent. In the end, Feng Yong asked Hu Shiheng to be the plenipotentiary representative of the Jilin provincial government.
When the people from the provincial government led by Hu Shiheng entered Lishu County, a company of the Siping Security Regiment had already packed up their things and was ready to go. The two sides handed over the right very amicably. From the moment everyone of the Siping Security Regiment withdrew, the entire Lishu County was officially under Feng Yong's rule. Immediately after that, more than 300 people from the heavily armed second battalion were stationed in Lishu County to deter Xiaoxiao.
On the same day, Hu Shiheng sent people to occupy the original government of the county magistrate of Lishu County as his station. It also collected all the classics inside. And began to sort out the population data of the entire Lishu County.
In the Baitou Manor, the largest manor in Lishu County, Bai Mancang, dressed in white, sat on the Taishi chair. Bai Mancang is a Manchurian, a descendant of the White Flag, and Bai Mancang is just his nickname. Later, he screamed and screamed, and even he himself recognized the name. He was a landowner, and of course he wanted to fill the grain warehouse every year.
Bai Mancang is a little sad now, and even some don't think about tea, and don't want to eat. He knows this Feng Yong, although he doesn't know the specific identity, but his surname is Feng, and he can hold a high position in the 28th Division at a young age, and I am afraid that he has a lot to do with Feng Dashuai of the 28th Division. Of course, the 28th Division, a behemoth in the northeast, was not something that he, a small county landlord, could contend with. But Feng Yong's policy was completely different from the others, and he even wanted to confiscate all the land in his jurisdiction. This is undoubtedly the foundation of the white warehouse. For hundreds of years, their family has been counting on the land to collect rent and live a prosperous life, and if there is no land, then what will he use to feed his family. But he didn't dare. It's not that I'm afraid of the more than 300 people sent by Feng Yong to Lishu County, it's just that the number of security teams in his hands is more than 300, far from the only 100 people as rumored by the outside world. If there were only a hundred people, even if he had a heavy machine gun, he would not be able to guarantee that he would not be disturbed by bandits. There were not no bandits who came to Lishu County to attack him, and there were quite a few, and all of them died without exception. During the Russo-Japanese War, Bai Mancang's escort team did fight a few times with some bandits. All were victorious. Later, Feng Delin and Zhang Zuolin rose in Liaoning, and their strength deterred Jinan. Bai Mancang reduced the armament in his hand with interest. Make it look like there are only 100 people to the outside world. The policy towards bandits has also shifted from confrontation to spending money to eliminate disasters. Therefore, whether it is the unruly lone wolf controlling Lishu County, or the Siping Security Corps with a deep background controlling Lishu County, neither of the two forces has made a move against Bai Mancang. Bai Mancang is also very clever to send protection money.
But this time, Feng Yong's Jilin provincial government looked like a bad comer. Bai Mancang had also heard of the agrarian revolution they were engaged in in Guojia Town. Originally, Bai Mancang was still disdainful of Feng Yong, thinking that he was digging his own grave, you must know that the rulers of the low-level forces in the whole of China are not the landlords who control the land. Defeated the landlords, who still managed the people for them.
"Master, I'm afraid that the Jilin Provincial Government is not good!" A strong man sitting on the bottom said. His name is Bai An, and he is the captain of Bai Mancang's security team, and he is also a distant relative of Bai Mancang, so he is more important.
"Yes! The little rabbit cub named Feng Yong had already announced in Guojia Town that he would continue to carry out the agrarian revolution in the four newly acquired townships. Whose land do you want? Whose life are you going to kill? I don't want your lord's life! This little cub is really ruthless. He is also not afraid of being shot black. The more Bai Mancang thought about it, the more angry he became.
"Master, this Feng Yong has something to do with Feng Dashuai of the 28th Division, I'm afraid we can't afford to offend!" Bai An is still somewhat knowledgeable. He still knew the horror of the 28th Division.
"I know this, but the land is my lifeblood, and this master will never take it out. Bai Fu, you immediately go to meet Feng Yong's representative with a generous gift. Let's see if there is room for relaxation, unless it is absolutely necessary, Master Ben still doesn't want to conflict with him. ”
"Yes! Master! An old man in his fifties bowed and replied. He is Bai Mancang's housekeeper, and he is considered a relatively powerful person in the Bai family.
Hu Shiheng sat in the lobby, looking at the literature in his hand with a tired expression. These documents are all information about Lishu County that has survived from the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Although many situations are different from now, they can help Hu Shiheng understand the specific situation of Lishu County. This is the first task given to him by Feng Yong, and he has to complete it beautifully no matter what. Over the years, it has not been nothing in the vulture's bandit group, at least he knows the situation of the entire Jinan in detail, and the vulture once wanted to hit the attention of the big landlord Bai Mancang, but unfortunately later got secret information, this Bai Mancang actually has three or four hundred elites under him, and there is plenty of ammunition, as well as heavy machine guns and grenades such as big killing weapons. This made the vulture reluctant to give up the idea of capturing Baekdu Villa.
Now Feng Yong's land policy is obviously to snatch food from Bai Mancang's mouth. Bai Mancang's resistance is certain. But now that the lone wolf has just been pacified, the rest of the security corps is still being corrected. Only the second battalion, which suffered the lightest casualties, was dispatched. The 3rd Battalion has always been in Guojia Town to protect the safety of Feng Yong and the Jilin Provincial Government.
Feng Yong was also particular about sending Lin Hu here, because Lin Hu's father was also a scholar who was forcibly plundered up the mountain by bandits. There is a slight similarity with Hu Shiheng's life experience. And Lin Hu is not so prejudiced against Hu Shiheng. Feng Yong believes that the two can cooperate better.
At this time, an attendant quietly walked in and whispered, "Lord Hu, the housekeeper of Baitou Villa asks to see you." ”
Hu Shiheng raised his head, and a smile appeared on his face, this Bai Mancang couldn't hold his breath now, and it didn't look like a big deal.
Hu Shiheng sat on the chair calmly and said indifferently: "Please!" ”
After a while, Bai Fu, a lewd old man dressed in a mink fur, walked in.
"Lord Hu is hard, in Xia Baifu, he is the housekeeper of the local rich gentry Bai Lao, I heard that Lord Hu is in charge of Lishu County, and he has a small profit, and I hope that Lord Hu will smile and accept it. My lord also said that he would visit in person another day. ”
"Bai Daguan is polite. Zhang Lu, things are taken away. Butler Bai, my county government has just arrived, and I haven't prepared a lot of things. Thank you for your understanding. "When you receive something from others, you must always be polite to them.
Seeing Hu Shiheng accept the things, the white housekeeper said with a happy face: "Don't dare, don't dare, Master Hu is polite, polite." ”
The two sides chatted some inconsequential kind words, and then the white housekeeper got up to say goodbye, and Hu Shiheng also got up to send him off, and on the surface, the relationship between the two sides was much closer.
After sending off the white housekeeper, Hu Shiheng returned to the room and looked at the young man standing in front of his desk with a smile. This young man is none other than Lin Hu.
"Lao Hu, what the hell are you doing? We didn't come to Lishu County this time to deal with this Bai Mancang, how can you collect his benefits? Lin Hu said dissatisfiedly.
"Camp Commander Lin, please calm your anger. We are new to the city, and there are many things that we should not be surprised until we understand them. Bai Mancang is not afraid, what is difficult is the weapon in his hand. With our current strength, we can't eat him. It is important to think long-term. ”
"But ......"
Hu Shiheng interrupted Lin Hu, who was still trying to say something, and opened the gift of the white butler, good guy, a whole hundred oceans. This white mancang shot is really generous. Hu Shiheng pushed these oceans towards Lin Hu and said, "Camp Commander Lin, these oceans will be handed over to you for safekeeping." The commander said I can't have a penny on me. ”
Lin Hu reluctantly put away the money. It turned out that when Feng Yong used Hu Shiheng, he once said that Hu Shiheng could not have a penny on him, and he did not have any salary for working for the provincial government, which could be regarded as atonement for what he had done before.
"Lao Hu, what should we do with Bai Mancang?"
Hu Shiheng flipped through the literature in his hand and said flatly: "Wait! By the time we can kill Bai Mancang with one blow. ”
