Chapter 42 Kidnapping
It was too difficult to explain with Ge Wu and it would not be effective, so Zhou Shixiang once again "tactfully" explained the significance of including all the young and strong family members in the army.
"These old and weak women and children are actually hostages in our hands, do you think, this wife and children are all in our hands, can he not listen to us and not go with us at that time? We now occupy Luoding, and we are fighting under the banner of the Ming army, and the Qing army will never let us go, so the brothers will definitely have to fight with the Qing army. Someone is working for us, and the brothers are still afraid that they will not be able to defeat the Qing army? It's just that you can't beat it, there are so many people who stand up for everyone, how can you run away, right? ”
"Reasonable!"
After listening to this explanation, Ge Wu suddenly realized, and dared to be in love for a long time, Brother Zhou did a job of kidnapping tickets.
"The reason is reasonable, the problem is that there are more than 800 people, what do we use to feed them, you can ensure in public today that everyone has food, clothing, and meat! What should I do if I can't get food by then? "Zhao Sihai has a headache with this problem.
"I've already figured out a way to do this," Speaking of this, Zhou Shixiang glanced at Song Xianggong, who knew what he wanted to say, but the corners of his mouth opened slightly but did not speak. Seeing this, Zhou Shixiang continued to say to everyone: "I plan to kill the big families and concentrate all the money and food in the city into our hands, so that we can feed these old and weak women and children who follow us." ”
Kill a big deal?
The eyes of the two brothers, Ge Wu and Ge Liu, instantly glowed, and the rest of the people also glowed with strange brilliance one by one.
"After that, there are a few big households in this Luoding, and we knocked out a sum of food, how much is left on hand, and how long can it last? If we run out of food, what will we do? Is it true that you want to raise them for nothing? Zhao Sihai is still not optimistic about this method.
"Of course, you can't raise them for nothing, if they want to eat well, drink well, and dress warmly, they have to follow us and continue to rob."
"Grab it again?" Zhao Sihai was stunned, "Who is robbing?" ”
"Qing Army."
"Tartar snatchers?"
Zhao Sihai and Ge Wu were all shocked.
Zhou Shixiang stared at them: "What, are you afraid?" ”
Hearing this, Zhao Sihai suddenly became unhappy: "Xiucai don't look down on the brothers, if the brothers are really afraid of the Tartars, they won't come to Luoding City with you with their heads!" ”
Ge Wu took a sip and snorted: "Lao Tzu was born a bandit, he used to do some small things to rob houses and houses, and now Brother Zhou, you said that we want to follow Brother Hu to do a big deal, then our brothers will follow suit, what you didn't say, you will rob the Tartars!" If my two brothers frowned, they weren't raised by my father! ”
"Brother Zhou, it's not easy to grab the tartar, let's be lucky this time." Boss Hu, who had been Li Chengdong's personal soldier, was a little hesitant, but he knew that the Qing army was powerful, and there was no such thing in this world that could be done a second time.
"I heard Mr. Song say that the Qing army in Guangdong does not have many green battalion soldiers stationed in other places except for Guangzhou, where the heavy troops are entrenched, so I think we can start from the place where these green battalion soldiers are stationed, rob him a few times, don't you have all the silver and food?"
Listening to Zhou Shixiang's plan, Boss Hu frowned and said: "This is going to make too much noise, the Tartars will definitely have heavy troops to suppress us, and then we will drag the old and weak women and children, where can we run?" ”
Zhou Shixiang said with a smile: "So we have to change places with one shot, so that the Qing army can't kill us." ”
"Take a shot and change places?" Boss Hu was stunned, not knowing what Zhou Shixiang meant.
Ge Wu and Zhao Sihai are also inexplicably wonderful, which is a strange thing.
Zhou Shixiang explained: "After robbing this place, let's immediately move to another place, so that the Qing army can't figure out where we are and where we are going to grab the next place." As long as we are in front of them every time, their noses will always be pinched by us, and when the time comes, we are not afraid of not being able to grab something, and we don't have to be afraid of being surrounded by them. They can't surround us, so we can run away. ”
Boss Hu understood, and after nodding, he was a little disapproving, and he said, "According to what you said, then we won't be rogues?" When the old prince was alive, he said that since ancient times, the government was not afraid of the rogues but only the bandits, and the rogues were all fierce at first, but after a long time, the government always had a way to deal with it, so the rogue could not become a climate. Besides, I just received an appointment from the Yongli Imperial Court, and Brother Zhou also said in the village that everyone should rely on the Yongli Imperial Court to fight for their backgrounds. How can we still be this Ming army? ”
Hearing Boss Hu's words, Zhao Sihai also said: "Yes, yesterday Xiucai told us that if we want to make a fortune, we have to be the government, but if we go to be a rogue, won't we be able to do it if we return to the government?" ”
"There is no contradiction between the rogues and the government."
Zhao Sihai's question gave Zhou Shixiang a headache, and he had a sense of trouble tearing down the east wall and making up the west wall, but no matter how troublesome it was, he had to talk round, otherwise, he would just be a mouthful.
I said that I wanted to take others to become an official to make a fortune, and when I turned around, I said that I wanted to take others to be a rogue and fight the government to make a fortune, if you don't give a reasonable explanation, what do people think of you?
"We have too few people to follow, our strength is too weak, and the enemy is right in front of us, so we just want to be the official of Luoding, and we have been in it for a few days. How much money can you make in a few days? Therefore, we have to take advantage of these few days to expand our strength, and then go to rob other places, and when we grab more money and food, and there are more people kidnapped, there will naturally be more young and strong people who can fight, and then we will be strong and strong, and we will naturally not have to be afraid of the Qing army to fight us, and at that time we can safely do the business of the official government. That's why I said, there is no contradiction between this rogue and the government, the key is whether our strength can support the brand of the government! In the same way, if we have the strength, the Yongli Imperial Court will recognize us, if we don't have the strength, they won't look at us! ”
"Oh yes, isn't that what it is, sustainability!" Ge Wu touched his head and finally came up with this term.
"Yes, sustainability!" Zhou Shixiang glanced at Ge Wu appreciatively, and the latter suddenly felt a sense of joy at being recognized.
"What about the public treasury? Are you really going to keep what you loot in the future and then give it to those people? Zhao Sihai thought about this in his heart during the day, and he didn't spit it out until this time to ask for an understanding.
"Yes, I am indeed preparing to set up a public treasury, and all the money, food, and materials seized by the brothers in the future will be kept and distributed in a unified manner."
In front of everyone, Zhou Shixiang will not deny what he said, and the matter of setting up a public treasury is also imperative, otherwise, everyone has selfish intentions, and everyone thinks about the wealth that has been obtained, then no one will fight to the end with the Qing army.
This time, without Zhao Sihai saying anything, Ge Wu had already jumped up: "The brothers have tried their best to grab the things but want to share them with others, so what are the brothers robbing!" ”
"Yes, why should we give it to them?" The bald man listened to it for a long time, and he heard this matter most clearly, and immediately shouted despite the pain in his shoulder.
Zhou Shixiang signaled Ge Wu and the bald man not to worry, he shook his head at Ge Wu and said, "Brother Ge was not right what he said just now. ”
Ge Wuyi was stunned: "Isn't it? Am I not right? ”
Zhou Shixiang said: "Dare to ask the fifth brother, who keeps this public treasury, and who is responsible for the distribution of money and grain?" ”
"This" Ge Wu where does he know.
The bald man said angrily: "No matter who will keep it, we can't let those people take care of our things, right?" ”
"It's over!"
Zhou Shixiang slapped his hands fiercely, "As long as we hold the treasury in our hands and pinch the power of distribution in our hands, aren't the things in this treasury still from the old brothers?" When the time comes, it's not up to you to decide? Besides, there are so many people who grab it for us, and then it is not a matter of being afraid of whether to divide or not, but of being afraid that everyone will not be able to take it! ”
"I see!" Ge Wu's black face immediately turned red again, "I said, Brother Zhou is a hero with a good brain, how can he figure out what to do for others?" ”
"Wedding dress." Song Xianggong coughed twice.
Ge Wuyi patted his head and said excitedly: "Yes, make wedding dresses for others!" ”
"If it's such a public treasury, then I have no opinion."
Zhao Sihai pondered carefully, if he really pinched the power of the public treasury in the hands of his brothers, it would be no problem to set up another hundred public treasury, anyway, everything was his own, and it would not be a matter of words to take it at that time. I can't help but smile when I think of the benefits.
"Do the brethren have anything else to say?"
"No, it's gone!"
Zhou Shixiang's arrangement was all for the sake of the old brothers, and he explained it well, where did everyone still have any dissatisfaction.
Boss Hu smiled and shook his head, Song Xianggong told him everything Zhou Shixiang wanted to do, although some practices were not very good reputation, but he was a bandit, and he was afraid of a bad reputation.
Song Xianggong's sentence is the most true, if someone has food and land, you are an official; If you don't have anyone, food, or land, you're a bandit. This makes too much sense, so as long as Zhou Shixiang's method can let him Hu Quan quickly have his own people and territory, he will support him unconditionally. Readers, their brains must be better than those of us rough people, so let them move.
"Since everyone has no opinion on my arrangement, then please cheer up, train your soldiers in the next two days, and we will lead them to do big things in two days!"
I urgently need recommendation votes to hit the new book list on the front page, miss this week, I have no chance, please be able to give fire support!
