Chapter 9 Conquering the Bandit Leader and the Tiger
The second more sends, ask for recommendations, ask for collections!
……………………
Eliminated all the bandits under the Tiger and occupied the Tiger's cottage, and took advantage of the situation to occupy the small villages and towns below the bandits' cottage. The name of this village is Guojia Town. And the mountain tiger's real name is Guo Shanhu, which is a native of Guojia Town. It turned out to be just a small tenant in Guojia Village, but later caught up with a famine for a year, and the rich man Guo Mancai forcibly collected rent. Guo Shanhu's parents starved to death that year, and at that time, it caught up with the turmoil of the Russo-Japanese War, and bandits broke out all over the northeast, in order to survive and avenge their parents. Guo Shanhu summoned some hard-working people in Guojia Town, rushed into the home of Guo Mancai, the landlord of Guojia Town, with kitchen knives, took advantage of the darkness to rush into the home of Guo Mancai, hacked to death more than 30 members of Guo Mancai's family, seized Guo Mancai's family property, and then recruited troops and horses to buy firearms. became a bandit of this generation. Because Guo Shanhu is cautious by nature, he will not kill everything, and he encountered a good time for the development of bandits, and gradually, Guo Shanhu became the big lock in the southwest of Jilin Province.
In the Russo-Japanese War, in order to contain the Russians and obtain information from the Russians, the Japanese supported a large number of these bandits. It was at that time that Guo Shanhu developed. It is a pity that the Russo-Japanese War was nearing the end when Guo Shanhu started the incident, and before Guo Shanhu could grow and develop, the victorious little Japan happily withdrew, and the entire Northeast became a chaotic place. The big bandits began to annex the small bandits. Being able to survive and always remain undefeated in that chaotic era also shows Guo Shanhu's ability.
Guo Shanhu is not Feng Delin, nor does he have Feng Delin's prestige on the green forest road and the armed force of tens of thousands of people in his hands. Guo Shanhu, who has no way, has guarded these hundreds of people over the years. Fortunately, he was cautious enough and eventually became the tyrant of this Jinan.
For the hundreds of bandits captured, Feng Yong's handling was very simple, all those who had slaughtered ordinary people and caused public anger were dragged out and handed over to the old patriarch of Guojia Village to deal with, as for whether to kill or release, Feng Yong was not worried at all. Other people who did not have any vices were incorporated into the independent battalion by Feng Yong to supplement the losses of the independent battalion. Although these people are a rabble, after all, they have been on the battlefield, seen blood, and most of them have good marksmanship.
In the end, after being broken up and reorganized, the number of the entire independent battalion was not reduced, but increased to nearly 700 people. There were almost 200 people in each company. Although the number of people increased, Feng Yong knew that the combat effectiveness of the independent battalion had decreased. The next thing for the independent battalion to do is to unify its thinking and train hard.
The threshing floor in Guojia Village was requisitioned as a training ground. Woniu Mountain behind Guojia Village has also become a mountain training ground for independent battalions. This area is patrolled by soldiers, and ordinary people are not allowed to approach it.
did not go to Changchun according to the original plan, Feng Yong also had his own ideas. After all, there are not many people who know that they are Feng Delin's son along the way. But once you enter Changchun, many things are involuntarily, and you can't see the real situation in Jilin Province. Moreover, there is a regular regiment of the 28th Division in Changchun, which is still above itself according to its rank. If you go by yourself, you will also face the problem of command. Therefore, Feng Yong chose to lie dormant here for a while. Take a look at the situation in Jilin Province to determine the next step. Seven hundred is not a small number. Although he confiscated all of Guo Shanhu's belongings, he obtained a lot of gold, silver and grain. But this food is only enough for the entire independent battalion to feed for a month. After a month, the independent battalion will have to find a way to solve the food problem on its own.
On the third day of settling down, Feng Yong, accompanied by Zhang Youde, came to the house of the old patriarch Guo.
In feudal society, the authority of the patriarch was unshakeable. Sometimes the words of the patriarch are even more effective than the words of the officials. Since Feng Yong decided to use Guojia Town as a stronghold, he had to establish a good relationship with the villagers of Guojia Village. Although he is an official and Guo Shanhu is a bandit, Guo Shanhu is a native of Guojiazhen after all, and he also took care of the people surnamed Guo during the time when Guo Shanhu was in power. Therefore, many people in Guojia Town were hostile to Feng Yong's independent battalion. Although this situation is nothing when the independent battalion is strong now, once the independent battalion falls into difficulties, I am afraid that there is a danger of causing a depression.
And the best way to solve this hidden danger is to calm the old man in front of him.
"Patriarch Guo, the contemptible person is Feng Yong, the commander of the independent battalion of the 28th Division, and he took the liberty to come to visit this time because he had something to ask for."
"Don't dare, the little general is a big official under Feng Dashuai, and the old man is just a small citizen, how can he be a little general." Patriarch Guo, whose beard is white, still has sharp eyes, and he can't see any geriatric diseases at all.
"The old patriarch is polite. Yu Gongyou is the patriarch of Guojia Town, assisting the local officials in managing the place, and working hard. Yu Private, you are an elder, and the kid is just an ignorant descendant, and many things need your old support. Feng Yong's posture was very low. Coupled with his green face, it was easy to win the favor of the old man in front of him.
"If the little general has anything to say, as long as you can use the old decay, the old decay will definitely not refuse." The old patriarch took a sip of tea and said.
"Since the old patriarch said so, the kid is welcome! As you know, this was originally a cottage of bandits. There are many people in the entire Guojia Town who have received the favor of Guo Shanhu. This time, the tiger ambushed us, but we wiped it out, and even the entire cottage was uprooted by us. This kind of behavior must have made many villagers in Guojia Town dissatisfied. Now that we have made Guojia Town a temporary station for the independent battalion, the dissatisfaction of these villagers is a safety hazard, which requires your help, the old patriarch. ”
Hearing Feng Yong say this, Old Ancestor quietly breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that Feng Yong would come here and make some non-trivial requests. In the eyes of the old man, this soldier is not as trustworthy as a bandit.
"Little general, if you can trust the old man, the old man will recommend someone to you, as long as you dare to use him, these hidden dangers will disappear immediately."
"Oh? Is there such a person? The old patriarch can rest assured, I, Feng Yong, have always been unsuspicious of employing people. As long as this person is really capable, even if it is a bandit leader, I dare to use it. Feng Yong said happily.
"Ahem! The little general is really clever, and the person I introduced is the leader of the bandits. ”
"Huh? Could it be? Feng Yong said with a surprised face. The old patriarch nodded, and shouted to the side room: "Mountain Tiger, come out!" ”
The curtain of the wing room was lifted, and a rough man with a bandage on his leg jumped out.
"Patriarch, are you looking for me?" The strong man saluted the old patriarch sitting in the Taishi chair, and then turned his head to look at Feng Yong, there was no hatred in his eyes, but he was very calm.
Feng Yong's face was surprised, Guo Shanhu he had seen, last time he was injured by a company of random guns and passed out, Feng Yong had seen him once, so he recognized at a glance that the somewhat weak man in front of him was the big boss of this Woniu Cottage, Guo Shanhu, who was known as the mountain tiger. Guo Shanhu's expression surprised Feng Yong, you must know that Feng Yong had served him and more than 400 people under him three days ago, and Guo Shanhu was almost shot to death. It stands to reason that he should hate Feng Yong very much, but Feng Yong did not see the slightest hatred in Guo Shanhu's eyes, which made Feng Yong interested in the big man in front of him.
"Mountain Tiger, I haven't seen Battalion Commander Feng of the Independent Battalion of the 28th Division yet!" The old patriarch said to Guo Shanhu.
"I've seen Camp Commander Feng!" Guo Shanhu nodded, which was a greeting.
"You don't hate me?" Feng Yong spoke. I want to ask for testimony to my heart.
"There's nothing to hate, on my first day as a bandit, I expected that. I just didn't expect to save my life. Guo Shanhu's expression was calm. just talked about being a bandit, and there was a trace of regret on his face.
"Oh? You don't seem to like being a bandit? "You know, in the current Northeast, banditry is a relatively promising profession. Of course, it is full of bloody battles, and it is normal to kill people today and be killed tomorrow.
"If Guo Mancai hadn't deceived people too much, I wouldn't have been forced to fall into the grass. It's just that a lot of things in the future are not what I want to do. Guo Shanhu said with some regret.
"Hehe, Guo Shanhu, you are really a peculiar person, are you interested in coming to my independent battalion to develop, I can give you a company commander. Of course, at the beginning, it was only the commander of the supplementary company, and if your company made meritorious achievements in the future, you can be promoted to a full-fledged company. It's all up to you to choose. Feng Yong squinted and said. Feng Yong knew that his appearance was a bit like his mother, feminine, and squinting his eyes could put a lot of pressure on people, so now he likes to squint at people more and more.
Guo Shanhu was obviously stunned, and even the old patriarch Guo was suppressed by Feng Yong's generosity.
"You really don't care that I used to be a bandit leader, and I used to fight with you and kill your people?" Guo Shanhu didn't believe his ears anymore.
"Guo Shanhu, I want you to remember that it is a battlefield, no matter who the enemy is, every soldier who goes to the battlefield can die. There is no hatred in this kind of death. There should be no hatred. Therefore, Guo Shanhu, you don't have to have a psychological burden at all, you join our independent battalion, you are our partner. The independent battalion is a big family, a big family where everyone loves and protects each other. What kind of hatred do you think there should be between a family? Feng Yong's words made Guo Shanhu's eight-foot-tall man's eyes faintly flash.
"The little general said it well. The little general has the style of an ancient famous general at a young age, and he admires it for his old age! Old Patriarch Guo praised it, and then said: "Mountain Tiger, I think the little general is very human, big-minded, and bold. And he is from an orthodox official army, so you can only have a future if you follow him. What are you waiting for? ”
"Patriarch ......" Guo Shanhu glanced at the old patriarch, looking at Feng Yong, who was there with the old god. Gritting his teeth, he knelt down on one knee and said, "Sinner Guo Shanhu, beg Lord Feng to take him in!" ”
"You've really decided to follow me? Follow me, but you're going to battle, you're going to die. And to join my team is to be absolutely loyal to me. Once there are two hearts, the result will be very miserable. ”
"My lord, Guo Shanhu is willing to join the independent battalion and become a sharp knife in the hands of adults. Where the adults point to fight, the mountain tiger is by no means ambiguous. Guo Shanhu said firmly.
"Huh! Guo Shanhu, I hope you remember what you said today. As for whether you can become a sharp knife in my hand, it depends on your ability. Feng Yong smiled and helped him up. The knee just now had already caused the wound on the leg of the mountain tiger to burst.
"Yes! My lord! Guo Shanhu was very moved by Feng Yong helping himself up.
"Okay, from today onwards, you will be a soldier of my independent battalion, don't call me an adult, call me battalion commander. Now take care of your injuries first, and when your injuries are healed, go to Woniu Mountain Cottage to report. It is now the headquarters of the separate battalion. I hope you won't let me down. ”
"Yes! Battalion commander. ”
After subduing Guo Shanhu, Feng Yong was in a good mood. This time, the goal was all achieved. So he got up and took his leave. The old patriarch tried his best to keep it, but Feng Yong got up and left because he had a lot of things in the army, so it was inconvenient to bother.
