This old man is the leader of Xingezhuang, and he belongs to the kind of semi-gangsters, not among the gangsters, but he also has some dealings with them, and he seems to understand the rules of the gangsters.

No matter how ruthless he said, or how much preparation he made, Xin Gezhuang actually didn't want to work hard. This does not depend on the level of force, but on the economic base.

A farming-based farm, and a gangster who specializes in fighting and making trouble, embark on the road of armed conflict, and it is absolutely their own shortcomings and their strengths. You don't need to have a high level of knowledge, and you don't need to read many books, as long as you have a brain, you know that this road can't be taken. Just preparing a group of post-generation beings to wield knives and guns, preparing for a possible battle at any time, overwhelmed the village, not to mention the pensions, decoctions, and expenses for lawsuits once the war started, which were not affordable by a small village.

Now the only reliance on the peasants is to have a meat ticket in their hands, that is, this meat ticket, to ensure that they can attack, retreat, and defend, and are almost invincible.

Sure enough, hearing the old farmer's words, Ma Da's nose collapsed first, and he got up to stop him, but Zhao Guanhou didn't call anyone, but drank the wine in one gulp, stretched out his chopsticks to pick up a piece of fish, put it in his mouth and chewed it gently.

"Let's go, then I won't send it. Anyway, since you Xingezhuang finished snatching the bride, no one dares to enter Jinmen to sell vegetables, right? On such a hot day, the food is almost rotten at home, and if you think about changing to something else in the future, then don't talk about it. Besides, it doesn't matter if the talk collapses, anyway, it's just a funeral in your village, and every household is just filial piety. ”

He said this as if to the old man, as if he were talking to himself, and when he had finished speaking, he went to pick up the vegetables again, and paid no more attention to the people. But his words seemed to be a fixation method, and those who wanted to go out were all stopped, and a young man turned his head and glared at Zhao Guanhou

"Who are you? What are you here for? We people in Xingezhuang don't eat your set, if you dare to come, we are not afraid of you. Now that Yuan Daotai is recruiting troops at the small station, several people in our village have gone to register, and if you dare to play bandits with us, we will ask Lord Yuan for justice. ”

"Oh? If that's the case, then you can go, there's no need to waste time here. Robbing the bride, do you still think you are justified? Lord Yuan is the strictest in governing the army, don't you have fellow villagers who are soldiers in the barracks, I think after hearing about this, they should be the first to be unlucky, you are the second. ”

Zhao Guanhou's body did not move, and a sneer appeared on his face, "Let me tell you one thing, the new army of the small station Cao Bang, that is my brother who changed the sticker, do you think there is a chance of winning a lawsuit in the new army?" If you don't believe it, you can go to the No. 3 seat, where Li Xiushan, the sentinel of the new army, is sitting, and there is also a Yun Wuju. If you want to fight a lawsuit, it's very simple, I just need to tell Officer Li that none of you can escape, and even the bandit den of Xingezhuang can be settled with one blow. ”

A young man pushed the door out, and after a short time he ran back with a frightened face, these people grew up in the village, honest and honest, and shouted when they entered the door:

"I asked the guy, and it was indeed Sentinel Li sitting there on the second place, and there was also a Yun Wuju. There were four other GIs at the door, all with guns on their backs. These people set up a Hongmen banquet, and they want to plot against us, uncle, let's fight with them! As he spoke, he reached out and pulled out a short axe from his waist, but Jiang Fengzhi was much faster than him, he had already taken off the slingshot, and the projectile was also buckled in the other hand.

Instead, it was Zhao Guanhou who waved his hand, "Senior sister, put the guy away, you don't need it." Borrow a few of their courage, they don't dare to move, no matter how fast this axe is, it can't be as fast as a gun, right? I beckoned to the four brothers to come in, and these people were not enough for them to practice. Sit down and eat the dishes. ”

The four soldiers were actually brought by Li Xiushan to negotiate with their own family, even if the guns were not loaded with medicine, they were enough to scare those fishermen. However, the people of Xingezhuang are afraid of officials, secondly, they have no scheming, and thirdly, they are also poor. This conflict is for the sake of those taxes and losses, so naturally he is reluctant to use money to pay for Xiao Er and ask the truth.

The man was not rewarded, and his answer was vague, but he was told that it was indeed Sentinel Li and Yun Wuju in the private room, but he did not mention why he was sitting there and what the four soldiers were doing.

This later life is also a fierce Zhang Fei, when he saw the soldiers, he really came to support the big wine vat, but he didn't think about the details. After listening to Zhao Guanhou's words, he himself knew that the axe would never be able to fight the fast gun, and he didn't know what to do with the axe.

They are not gangsters, they don't have the strength of gangsters who dare to play scoundrels at critical moments, they won't lie on the ground and let the soldiers shoot them, but when they think of the power of the fast gun, their faces turn a little pale.

The old man at the head took out his cigarette pouch and struck him on the head, "Why don't you put the axe away?" Shame on the things of the world, lose the faces of the old and young masters. He looked back at Zhao Guanhou a few times

"This old brother is probably Zhao Guanhou who is standing outside the county yamen and singing and selling discounted legs, right? Old Xin Daqing, a nobody, also walked around the streets in the early years, although he was not a member of the pot, but he also had dealings with you. Later, I served as a soldier under Yijun Yushuai, and I also went to the battle array, and I was torn apart with real swords and guns, and a few fast guns couldn't scare me. I also eat food, and I am not close to those brothers, but I am a family. The old and young masters of Xingezhuang are not so easy to deal with. ”

He paused, and simply stopped looking at Ma Da Nose and Jiang Youcheng, only staring at Zhao Guanhou. "Although the bride is with us, I promise that no one has ever offended her, and whoever dares to touch her, I will gelding him with my own hands. Now, it's time to discuss with you how to release people. In the past few years, the old and young of Xingezhuang have been bullied by their big wine vats, these people are not the government, but they set up cards to collect taxes. Even the children who live there can snatch food from our mouths, and they don't see us as human beings at all, should this debt be calculated. If you want to return the bride, you can do it, but the money that has been snatched from us in the past few years has to be calculated, and what to do in the future must also be made a charter. ”

Zhao Guanhou glanced at him with contempt, and didn't seem to regard this old man as a negotiation opponent, "Xin Lao seems to be the leader of Xin Gezhuang?" These people are all looking after you, and they are at your command, and they must be able to call the shots in the village. Well, I'll talk to you about it, and figure out the accounting, and you don't need to say it, you yourself know it's not going to work. If that money can be lost, the big vat will be disbanded as soon as possible. ”

The young man who drew the axe hurriedly said, "If you don't pay back the money, you don't want to take it away." ”

Zhao Guanhou looked at Xin Daqing: "This is the guy you brought?" Doesn't it look good? When the leader didn't speak, the people below dared to interject, if you don't teach the rules, how can you mix outside in the future. ”

Xin Daqing saw that he was smiling but not smiling, and it was obvious that he had some ridicule of himself in it, and his face was a little unbearable, so he gave Na Housheng a mouthful. "Tie Qiang, if you think you can, then I don't care, you can do this. If you still recognize me as an uncle, just be honest with me and don't talk. Can't you stop your mouth with such a table of dishes? ”

This descendant named Tie Qiang, although he is young and impulsive, he is not stupid enough to fight against Xin Daqing. This is a person who the whole village finally found and knows how to communicate with the gangsters, if he really leaves it alone, there is no way to end this matter. After all, the peasants are cowardly, and if they really attract officers and soldiers, the whole village will not be able to be saved. Seeing that he had a seizure, he was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak, and obediently lowered his head to eat vegetables.

At this time, it reflected the wisdom of Zhao Guanhou to let Jiang Fengzhi and the others eat first, because now they are all bowing their heads to eat vegetables, and these two people are no match for the dozen or so hungry young farmers. I can only watch them destroy things like a whirlwind, making bursts of noise, and I don't know where to start if I want to put down my chopsticks.

Xin Daqing lit a cigarette pouch and looked at Zhao Guanhou while smoking, "Friend Zhao, what do you think about this, I also want to hear it." Could it be that we send people out like this, and then we will be angry in the future? How can things be done this way? ”

"It's not like that, the price must be paid." Zhao Guanhou was still unhurried, poured a glass of wine and drank slowly, "But, I want to tell you first, I worship my brother Cao Zhongkun, Cao San, who sells cloth, and works as a helper in the new army, when he came to see me a few days ago, he told me a news." Yuan Daotai trained his troops at a small station, and although he practiced very diligently, his troops had not gone through actual combat after all. So I thought I wanted to find a bandit to fight and train my brothers. ”

When he said this, he didn't say anything more, just looked at Xin Daqing. These peasants didn't know that Cao Zhongkun's gang was actually worse than the sentinel, and for them, the gang was already a great member.

After all, a few soldiers in the village are just the most ordinary infantrymen, and they are one day away from the gang. Such a big official must be able to speak in the barracks, if he really said that he led the new army to suppress Xingezhuang as a bandit, the lives of the whole village, young and old, would be put into it.

When the Jin State established itself, its military exploits focused on breaking down the city and pulling out the village, and the requirements of the first level were not high. Since crossing the river to destroy the Song Dynasty and unify the north and south, most of the combat missions have been domestic security battles such as quelling rebellions and eliminating bandits.

For this kind of battle, it is too impractical to tell the story of the enemy, because hundreds of years ago, the military merit narrative was changed to the decapitation and merit mode. The promotion of the troops and the post-war rewards depend on the number of heads, and if the heads do not match the report, they will also be impeached by the Yanguan.

Later, the Jin soldier military system was eroded, and the army often did whatever it took to get the first rank. Whenever there is a war, there are many incidents of killing good people and risking merit, and falsely accusing them of theft.

In the past, Hong **** Xing, with an army of 20,000 troops, was led by the Jurchens to intercept the Taiping Army in the Daimyo Mansion to "report the thief at the fifty levels, and the head of the women and children is fifty out of thirty", this is still a general with a conscience.

Another minister Mao committed Zhejiang, Jin will meet the battle with the Meng'an Han army, a small victory, that is, the county order to report the merit, the county order asked: "How can you report without a head?" He replied, "Easy ear!" After a while, I entered the thousand-level level, and there were more than 80 of them. Even the officers and soldiers chased and killed civilians with weapons, and it was not uncommon for them to claim that they "borrowed their heads to make meritorious contributions".

The new army only knows that it is well-equipped, and invites Westerners as instructors, and it is said that it is a first-class capable army, and the ability to kill people and take meritorious service is also first-rate. Zhao Guanhou threw a second bomb at this time

"I heard, how many muskets are there in Xingezhuang? It has been said that if the thugs of the vat dare to come and rob people, they will be beaten into a sieve. This musket is not an item that the people should have, and I think that if you check it carefully, there will be many problems. ”

Since the Hongyang Rebellion, the Jin people have been very taboo about the possession of firearms by the people, and they have carried out strict guards, and the ban has become increasingly strict. Of course, the more strictly forbidden things are, the more people there are, and the ancient and modern are the same. In addition, the ground near Jinmen is not very peaceful, and occasionally there will be some bandits and robbers, and it is helpless for Xingezhuang to prepare a few muskets to guard against it. But if this kind of thing is caught and made a fuss, the situation will be very bad if there is another way in the new army.

Zhao Guanhou drank all the wine in the cup again, "Let me tell you the truth, this time we have prepared two hundred oceans, so we will buy the sentry under Officer Li, and let him go to Xingezhuang for a walk and kill a head." The bride is a big girl, and she has been locked up by you for so many days, and now even if you want to release people, the king doesn't want it anymore. He went out and went bankrupt, just to get out of this breath, we are also receiving money from others, eliminating disasters for others, Xin Lao, take advantage of now, hurry up and eat a few more bites of food. If you want to eat it in a few days, I'm afraid you won't be able to eat it. ”
