Chapter 53 Transferred to Luojiazhuang
Tang Cheng knew that blind coercion was useless, and the so-called combination of rigidity and softness was the only way to overcome it. Twisting his face and glancing at Zhao Baokun, who was full of scars, Tang Cheng called Liu Shishi and whispered a few words, and Liu Shishi, who was full of displeasure, was glared at by Tang Cheng, so he reluctantly went to the car and turned out a small cloth bag.
"Open!" Tang Cheng summoned Zhao Baokun and the others together and asked Liu Shishi to open the small cloth bag that had been turned out of the cart. Inside the cloth bag is an ocean of white flowers, and when the sun shines, the ocean reflects a seductive light. "Although Zhao Baokun and Dice did not act in accordance with military discipline, they killed many soldiers of the Imperial Association Army and forced down 24 Imperial Association troops, which is also a great achievement, and each person will be rewarded with 5 yuan." When everyone was dazzled by Da Yangyao, Tang Cheng's seductive voice slowly sounded.
5 oceans! This is an ocean of white flowers! Looking at the ocean that Liu Shishi took out of the small cloth bag, the dice and their hearts were hot, especially Zhao Baokun felt that the meal just now was not in vain. The shell gun worn by Niu Jinshui was also handed to Zhao Baokun by Tang Cheng, "As long as you follow me to fight devils, the ocean has it, and there are many good weapons, as long as you are brave enough to kill devils." ”
Seeing Zhao Baokun and the dice put the white ocean into their pockets, Hou San and the remaining bandits couldn't help but widen their eyes, but Lin Jiadong, who was recruited by Tang Cheng to act as a guide, kept staring at the shell gun on Zhao Baokun's waist. Niu Jinshui's barge gun was given to Zhao Baokun, and Zhao Baokun gave the Japanese southern pistol that shot Niu Jinshui earlier, and Tang Cheng didn't know that this southern pistol was easy to jam and was not powerful enough, after all, in close combat, short guns are better than rifles.
"Company Commander Tang, I also want to follow you to kill devils, you take me, anyway, I am the only one in my family, and no one cares about the dead or alive." Lin Jiadong, who was wrapped in a new cotton coat with a shotgun and a gun, ran to beg Tang Cheng to accept him. The moment Zhao Baokun shot dozens of Imperial Cooperative Army, Lin Jiadong thought that Tangcheng was a group of bandits, but when Tangcheng and they rushed to the old northeast to beat Zhao Baokun with a belt, Lin Jiadong realized that this group of people was the national army, and seeing Zhao Baokun and the dice in his pocket, Lin Jiadong, who was lively, wanted to follow Tangcheng and them to fight devils.
"Aren't you afraid that being a soldier will kill you when you fight?" Tang Cheng did not directly agree to Lin Jiadong, but took him to see Niu Jinshui's body. The bloody corpse with rolling eyes made Lin Jiadong shudder, but when he thought about those white oceans of flowers, the timidity in Lin Jiadong's eyes gradually dissipated, and was replaced by a look of perseverance. The change in Lin Jiadong's eyes was seen by Tang Cheng, and he could only sigh secretly, money is moving, just a few oceans can make a country man like Lin Jiadong follow him to fight devils.
"Hou San, take him to the front to explore the way, and be careful in the direction of Luojiazhuang." He grabbed a rifle from the carriage and threw it to Lin Jiadong, and Tang Cheng ordered Hou San to take Lin Jiadong, who was familiar with the terrain here, to serve as the vanguard of the front. Tang Cheng let Lin Jiadong go out to investigate, there is another meaning, these 20 or so surrendered Imperial Cooperative Army must be disposed of, otherwise there are only 8 people and they may be countered by these Imperial Cooperative Army. I have asked everything that should be asked, and it is useless to keep these imperial alliances, Tang Cheng plans to clean up these guys in this Tangqiao Village.
"Let's let them go" Tang Cheng said that he wanted to release them, and at the same time made a throat-cutting gesture to Lao Dongbei, who understood it, picked up the light machine gun in his hand and escorted those Imperial Cooperative troops out of the village. There was a burst of gunshots, and Lao Dongbei came back alone with a light machine gun, and the faces of the dice and several of them were obviously not very good-looking, and they could already guess what was going on with the burst of gunfire just now. It's not so good to get on the boat in Tangcheng, and they can only murmur in their hearts, this little company commander looks inconspicuous, but he is ruthless.
The seized booty has all been loaded into carts, counting the two carts that Niu Jinshui used to grab grain, Tangcheng now has 4 carts. Glancing at the grain that Liu Shishi was reluctant to unload, Tang Cheng asked the dice to call out the village chief here, "Don't be afraid, we are not bandits, we don't want this food, but we can't give it to you in vain, ask the villagers to exchange 8 chickens and ducks, my brothers are hungry." "With a cart full of grain for 8 chickens and ducks, such a deal is definitely a sure profit for Tangqiao Village, and the village chief who was still trembling immediately came to the spirit and hurriedly entered the village to catch chickens and ducks.
No one said that Tang Cheng was a loser, not only to avoid the Japanese puppet army going south, but also to guard against possible dangers, Tang Cheng they simply did not have the ability to march with so much food. Tang Cheng originally wanted to leave a few guns for Tangqiao Village, if the Imperial Association Army came again, Tangqiao Village could also have a weapon for self-defense, but when he looked at the villagers who were hiding and did not dare to show their heads, Tang Cheng immediately dispelled this idea.
There are two more big cars, and when they are on the road, the speed of their travel in Tangcheng is much faster, and the closer they are to Huandiqiao Town, the road conditions are gradually getting better. Leaving Tangqiao Village and walking out of almost 1 mile, because there was a fork in the road ahead, Hou San and Lin Jiadong waited here. The left side of the fork in the road will pass through Jiang Jiahai and Aijiazhuang before reaching Luojiazhuang, and the right side will go south until Tanjiazui, according to Tang Cheng's order, it is natural to walk all over Luojiazhuang, but Lin Jiadong is a little worried about the Shuanghuling in front.
"I think you're a stupid head, those guys from the Imperial Association Army can come from Luojiazhuang, why can't we go to Luojiazhuang from the road they have walked?" Lin Jiadong's worries were superfluous in the eyes of Lao Dongbei, even if he encountered the bandits of Shuanghuling, with the light machine guns in his and Zhao Baokun's hands, those bullshit bandits were not opponents. It was already a little dark, and Tang Cheng, who was in a hurry to Luojiazhuang, could only order to move on, but he told Hou San and Lin Jiadong to be cautious.
The Japanese army has already occupied Huandiqiao Town, and the Imperial Allied Army is collecting food everywhere, Tang Cheng doesn't know if his decision to go to Luojiazhuang is correct, but now he has to send an arrow on the bow, and if he delays any longer, he will only wait for more and more Japanese troops on the front line of Jinniu Town and Baoan Town, and at that time, it will become more difficult for them to continue to go south. Tang Cheng carefully studied the map captured from the Japanese army, they should have gone south through Tanjiazui, but Lin Jiadong patted his chest and assured that he had seen the rout of the national army in Luojiazhuang, and the main purpose of Tang Cheng's trip was to go to those rout of the national army.
They are all carrying guns to fight devils, Tang Cheng does not have much resentment towards the rout, not to mention that he also did the rout when the city of Nanjing was broken. After two battles with the Japanese puppet army in succession, a lot of weapons and ammunition were captured, but now they count Lin Jiadong and 8 people, and it may be difficult for this person to cross the blockade of the Japanese army and go south to Xianning. It is easy to do things with more people, this is the idea that the old Northeast gave Tang Cheng, relying on these weapons and ammunition captured from the Japanese puppet army, as long as there are enough people, Tang Cheng can immediately pull out a platoon of troops.
The cart was bumpy and shaking on the mountain road, Tang Cheng began to doze off, and there were light machine guns in front and behind, so Tang Cheng could sleep boldly with confidence. "With the bullets on fire, I don't look right." Lao Dongbei pulled the reins to stop the cart, and then woke up the sleepy-eyed Tang Cheng, and urged Zhao Baokun, who was walking at the end, to press the machine gun into the bullet. There was a tree trunk in the middle of the rugged mountain road, and it was precisely because of this trunk that Lao Dongbei suddenly stopped the cart and asked the dice following behind him to prepare for battle.
Tang Cheng stretched out his hand and rubbed his cheeks vigorously, and after sobering up a little, he picked up his binoculars and looked at both sides of the mountain road. "Stone, have you seen the bluestone slab on the side of the road, take five oceans and put them on the slate, dice, you and Huang Laosi go and move the wood in the middle of the road." Seeing that the dice and Huang Laosi were still a little afraid, Tang Cheng scolded with a smile, "I said it's okay, it's okay, the ocean where the stones are placed on the stone slab is our money to buy the road, and these people who block the road are just for money and won't really fight with us." ”
Tang Cheng has followed Robert's missionary work all over the world since he was a child, and he has seen many mountain bandits and thieves in Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan, and he is too familiar with this kind of behavior of placing tree trunks in the middle of the road to buy road money, as long as his party gives money, the bandits who are ambushed on both sides of the mountain road will generally not hurt people. took out another 5 oceans and went out, and Liu Shishi, who returned to the cart, pouted unhappily, if he gave money like this every time he encountered bandits blocking the road, he didn't know if he could go to Yunnan if he got the oceans from Zoumashan.
6 people drove four carts, Liu Shishi, who was sandwiched in the middle, drove a cart alone, seeing that Liu Shishi was a little unhappy, Tang Cheng jumped off the cart that Lao Northeast drove and went to Liu Shishi's cart and sat down. "Why did you kid become a miser after learning, didn't I look at it as it was getting dark, we had to hurry, and we couldn't get entangled with these mountain bandits for a few oceans. You are reluctant to spend a few oceans on your face, and when we arrive in Yunnan, there will be more places to spend money, I see why you will cry when you arrive. ”
Liu Shishi, who was teased by Tang Cheng, also felt a little embarrassed, there were hundreds of yuan in the ocean from Zouma Mountain, as well as a lot of gold bars and valuable objects, only 5 yuan, and he seemed to be a little stingy. Dice and Huang Laosi went to move the trunk in the middle of the road, Lao Dongbei and Zhao Baokun each held light machine guns and guarded carefully, until Tang Cheng and they drove the cart past the tree trunk, and the mountain bandits blocking the road did not show their heads, if Tang Cheng hadn't stopped them, Lao Dongbei would have jumped off the cart and brought back the 5 oceans.
