Chapter 32 No Selfishness
"Patriarch, a Song Commissioner came from the province. He brought ten pigs and three thousand oceans. He said he wanted to reward us for killing the bandits on Baoping Mountain. He also brought a few words."

mid-September.

The attention-grabbing follow-up is coming.

"What does that mean over there?"

Zhang Heng sat on the futon and asked with his eyes closed.

"The meaning over there is to ask if we have any ideas of being included."

Zhang Zhentian is already the mayor of Dagou Town at this time. Standing behind Zhang Heng, he said cautiously: "If we accept the inclusion, the higher-ups are willing to appoint us as the 114th Brigade of the Guangdong Army and give us a regular brigade establishment. 5000 people, and promised to allow us to garrison Yangjiang."

"How many people, how much armor, how much food?"

"I didn't say that. It seems that Commissioner Song wants us to raise our own funds."

"Self-funded? Co-authors are given an empty title. After self-funding, I have to listen to them. This abacus is too loud, right? Do you think I am a bandit who has never seen the market?"

There was a hint of sneer at the corner of Zhang Heng's mouth: "How did you answer?"

"I didn't agree, I just said I couldn't be the master."

Zhang Zhentian replied.

"Ah."

Zhang Heng snorted and stopped answering.

Zhang Zhentian was a little rough, and he stayed on the side and hesitated.

After a stick of incense, one week of meritorious deeds.

Zhang Heng slowly opened his eyes and asked, "You said, is this a good thing or a bad thing?"

"It should be a good thing, right?"

Zhang Zhentian doesn't have much political consciousness, he can only say what he understands: "I heard that there are many factions in the southern country, and they do not have deep control over the various armies. Let us be stationed in Yangjiang, and if we raise our own military expenses, there must be local finance. indicated."

"In this way, we can reach out to the local finance, use the local money to support our army, turn back a brigade full of recruits, and become a warlord all the way."

Zhang Heng sighed: "Then what?"

"Then?"

Zhang Zhentian whispered: "Of course, it's to become bigger and stronger, recruit more troops, buy more horses, expand the site more, and occupy several prefectures and counties to be the commander."

"And then what?"

"And then?"

Zhang Zhentian thought for a while, then tentatively said: "We can also care about the three peoples. We can talk about whatever doctrine he wants to talk about. We can't say that we can end up being a high-ranking official and a military governor."

Zhang Heng nodded: "Go ahead."

Zhang Zhentian smiled bitterly: "No more."

"No, there is."

Zhang Heng took over the topic and continued: "How can there be a country that allows two governments to exist? The Republic of China government/government will not go north, and the Beiyang government/government will also go south, that's for sure."

"We accepted the appointment of the Southern Kingdom, which is equivalent to the label of the Southern Kingdom, which uses national justice to press you and ask you to send troops to the northern expedition. You have to obey orders, or you will be stabbed in the spine by the people."

"People say it's terrifying. At that time, we will be first-class cannon fodder. I'm afraid it won't work if we don't meet each other."

"If the Northern Expedition is won, we will be transferred to other provinces to be garrisoned and then suppressed."

"If you can carry it, you can still stay a little decent, but if you can't resist it, the only way to go is to turn on the electricity."

"In the end, you and I will come to Dagou Town, just like now, I will cultivate my way, and you will be your mayor, turning everything into a joke."

Zhang Heng looked up at Zhang Zhentian: "I'm not the real dragon emperor, neither are you, at most we are Chen Sheng and Wu Guang who opened the way for the real dragon, and we can't be Liu Bang."

"One day, you might be able to come back, and I might be able to come back. I don't know how many of the disciples in Dagou Town will come back."

"Besides, is it so enjoyable?"

"I look at the princes of the world, and there is no one who is a real dragon, going around."

"Prosperity, the people suffer, death, the people suffer."

"There are things I can and will do, but there are things I can't and won't do."

"I hope you don't do it either, because what you're doing now is meaningless. If there is no real dragon, the world will not be harmonious."

"As for the Nanguo government/government, this year is the eighth year of the Republic of China. In the past eight years, do you think anything has changed from before?"

Zhang Zhentian shook his head.

Zhang Heng sighed and said, "Yes, nothing has changed. The world in the southern kingdom is still dominated by corrupt officials, cruel officials are rampant, and the common people live in fire and water. Do you think such bureaucrats can win the hearts of the people? Without the hearts of the people, they can win the world. ?"

"Patriarch, what should we do then?"

Zhang Zhentian was very sad.

"Wait, there will be a king in 50 years. Before that, we just need to manage ourselves well."

"Let's not talk about it, first Dagou Town, then Yangjiang County, Goose City, Rongcheng, and Kangcheng."

"These four counties occupy one place, and the southeast can be to Macau, the south can be to Haikou, the southwest can be to Wanglin, the North Sea, and the west is North Vietnam. There is a basis for advancing and retreating. Sitting and watching the world, you and I have no worries, no more than a turtle. It's better to go forward like Sun, and be a pawn for others?"

Zhang Zhentian said hesitantly: "Patriarch, we don't accept the appointment. I'm afraid they won't hand over the site to us."

"Why do you want them to give it, don't we have it?"

"The world is so chaotic right now, and there are warlords everywhere who don't listen to propaganda. If others can occupy the county seat and proclaim themselves generals, can't we?"

"Besides, did I say I don't support the Southern Kingdom?"

"I support it. The taxes that should be paid are quite a lot. When you have nothing to do, I will take you to fight bandits and destroy bandits. There are so many upper-level factions in the southern country, one more of us is not too much, right?"

Zhang Heng does not think that he is a real dragon and can build a world of great harmony.

What I seek is not the great harmony of the world, but the rise of the sky, and the immortality of those who hear the Tao.

Therefore, he will only do things within his ability, such as changing the people's livelihood in Dagou Town and changing the status quo of Jiangyang County.

He never considered what was too far or could not be done.

Because he is familiar with history and knows that the current southern country was established by a group of former masters studying abroad. It can represent power, but not the people of Li.

Therefore, there are many problems in the South, and it is difficult to solve them at the root.

After all, to solve the root cause is to solve themselves, and they will not allow such a thing to happen.

On the second day, Commissioner Song left with joy.

Although he did not pull the Zhang family militia into the chariot, he did not gain anything.

For example, before leaving, Zhang Heng gave him a pair of Yu Ruyi and a lot of gifts, which seemed to be of great value. This trip was not in vain.

"Empty mouth and white teeth, giving me the name of an empty brigade commander and trying to make me die. What a joke."

Zhang Heng looked at Commissioner Song who was like a thief, holding Yu Ruyi and leaving happily, and whispered: "Pass my order, from now on, the militia regiment will be changed to the first regiment of Yangjiang self-defense, Zhang Zhenhu will be the regiment commander, and immediately go to Yangjiang County. Pull out and take over the city defense."

"In addition, 500 people were drawn from the first regiment to form the second Yangjiang regiment and rush to Goose City."

"Cousin, you lead the team yourself, hand over the people to Zhang Muzhi, and tell him that I appointed him as the head of the Yangjiang Second Regiment, and Xiao Liuzi as the deputy head, and tell him that he can use the 500 people as he pleases. This was sent by my Zhang family to help him deal with Huang Silang and the four big families of Goose City, the Zhang family will always be his backing."

Hearing this, Zhang Zhentian's eyes lit up: "Patriarch, Gao, Zhang Muzhi is in Goose City right now, fighting against Huang Silang and the four major families to the death or to the death. Foreign aid is urgently needed."

"We sent 500 people there, and appointed Zhang Muzhi as the head of the group. He didn't want to deny our favor."

"Later, when he wins the fight against Huang Shilang, the power of my Zhang family will be able to take root in Goose City, and replace the four major families of Goose City in one fell swoop. Picking peaches without blood, high, really high!"

"What picking peaches!"

Zhang Heng raised his brows and pressed his fingers hard on the table: "I sent troops to Goose City and appointed Zhang Muzhi as the head of the regiment, for the sake of the overall situation of Yangjiang, Goose City, Rongcheng, Kangcheng, and the four counties' joint protection. To maintain local stability and benefit the people's livelihood, we are not conspirators, ambitionists, nor military commanders who will do anything to achieve their goals."

"Yes, patriarch, it was me who was wrong."

Zhang Zhentian hurriedly said, "I am too selfish and misunderstood your good intentions."
