Chapter 174 The Knight's Walk (4)

"Destroying the Dragon Gang?"

Niu Da below immediately expressed a little doubt. "Isn't it too vulgar? Or does Brother Zhang mean to use a common name to cover up a little so as to avoid the eyeliner of that Uncle Cao?"

"That's what it means." Zhang Xing blurted out. "But it's not pure vulgarity, it's false vulgarity... because it's not removal, it's dethrone, dethrone's dethrone..."

"What is the meaning of deposing the dragon?"

Those present, who doesn't know how to laugh.

"Deposing the dragon means that the world is in chaos, smoke and dust are everywhere, and the power of the Wei Dynasty is hard to recover. Therefore, everyone is fighting for the top. When the world changes drastically, the vitality of the world is abundant, and the strongest among them may become a saint and transform into a dragon... At this time , we first establish the foundation, win over the heroes, spread out the power, and when the time comes to control the universe, even those who have the appearance of a real dragon can be dismissed at once... What we mean is a condescending, extraordinary, and under control."

What Zhang Xing said, Niu Da and others were stunned when they heard it. People like Ma Ping'er felt that they had never seen as much in their life as they do today, so they just nodded their heads out of breath.

As for Taoist Wei, Li Shu, Xu Dalang, etc., they are all decent cultural people, no matter how they listen to it, they feel that they are making unreasonable words, and even feel that they are a bit blatant, so they then speculate that it is very likely that Mr. Zhang has another explanation hidden in his heart. I just don't want to say it in public.

This is not to smear people's innocence out of thin air.

In fact, there have long been rumors in the Gongmen privately handed out, saying that the nickname of Tulongdao was basically created by Mr. Zhang himself who buried a secret line in Jing'antai. The name at the top of the list was originally to echo that Yitianjian... As for the reason, it is self-evident.

But at this time, many reckless people and foolish people thought that the third master Zhang on the black list not only killed a Nanya minister, but even tried to assassinate the saint at one point, which was a mistake Hit.

However, even so, why did Li Shu and others break up with Zhang Xing on such a shitty matter?

It's just called the Zhanji Gang...Of course not the Zhanji Gang...but as long as it doesn't go too far, the name of this kind of thing will go with him, and maybe he will laugh secretly at Zhang Sanlang who can't tell the size, In order to highlight one's own sense of existence, everything must be mixed.

All in all, without Li Shu's words, the name of the Dragon Gang was completely settled.

After this matter was settled, the lower chiefs were still full of interest, but the upper chiefs also became serious... because the next thing seemed to be the crucial thing.

"The name has been decided, and the next step is naturally the gang's rules and future strategies." Zhang Xing went to see Daoist Wei sincerely from the seat. "Brother, where do you start talking about?"

Daoist Wei glanced at Zhang Xing, and felt very happy. He put down his twisted beard, and put his hands together among the chiefs, saying, "Let's start with the rules, and specifically, the rules of personnel...Third brother, the seats are arranged by you." , it’s up to you to talk about it.”

Zhang Xing immediately laughed... This Daoist Wei is indeed a top-level smart person, very useful, but on the other hand, giving this kind of person a name may not be able to find a way and do something... ...but so what?
After thinking up to this point, Zhang Sanlang just looked at the crowd below, and then said without hesitation:

"What I mean is very simple. Long Wutou can't do it. First of all, Brother Wei, Gong Li...Second Brother Li, and I, Zhang Xing, were recommended by the brothers to be the commander in chief, issuing orders and giving orders. , and if there is some discrepancy between the three of us, it is natural for the three of us to negotiate among ourselves.

"However, there are also some other theories, such as going to specific places, critical incidents, and even the life and death of our Dragon Clan. The three of us may not know as much as the brothers. If we have a good idea, it is natural for the leaders to come together at this time. Talking... For example, today, since it is the situation where Brother Yu and I are in a relationship with Wang Wulang, I will first explain the general rules, but the brothers are all here, so if you don’t hear well, just say it, as long as there are two of you The leaders all mean the same thing, even I have to listen to what the brothers have to say, and discuss everything together."

Hearing this, everyone nodded their heads one after another, saying that Brother Zhang is loyal and knows how to take care of his brothers.

When Li Shu and Taoist Wei heard that the three were in charge of the "General Commander", one knew that Zhang Xing had fulfilled his promise and did not lie, and the other was a little touched, so they had nothing to say.

As for the fact that two of the three leaders have the same meaning, and they all oppose the top leader, in the eyes of most people, this seems superfluous, because who is not attached to the top and bottom?Is it because you, Zhang Sanlang, are not determined, or is it that Xu Dalang will not support Li Shu?

The only thing is, if one of them can really control two-thirds of the leaders, then he is also a real independent leader. Taking advantage of the situation to depose the other seems to be logical, but it is a bit like a hidden button.

Therefore, for a while, everyone was rejoicing on the face and thoughtful in their hearts.

There was only one Shan Dalang, who was obviously agitated and did not match the others.

Of course Zhang Xing knew the meaning of this Jiyin mafia tycoon, he did raise his hand slightly to this hero he met for the first time today, signaling to the other side to be calm, and continued:
"However, brothers have to do things every day and have their own business. How can we get together? It's just the three of us. In the future, the gang will spread out and we will have to move around. If something happens in our respective places, who will take care of it? Therefore, don’t hide anything, and you must point out some big bosses... One is to control local business, the other is to lead specific special affairs, and the third is to meet newcomers joining the gang. This time, it can't be done. It's all the three of us arbitrarily, and someone needs to discuss it.

"For example, the brothers gathered today are all heroes from the vicinity of Jishui. In the east of Jiyin County, Shan Dalang is the master; in the west, Wang Wulang is the master; and from the east to the Yellow River, it must be Xu Dalang who has just moved there. These are the three big bosses...

"Besides, since we are one family, private barriers and conflicts must be put away, and it is better to be consistent with the outside world. Then, if there is still friction, or if you want to do something together, it is natural to ask the big bosses Take it with you to do it, firstly use the few people to conquer the many people, and then use the low position to conquer the high position, otherwise what kind of seats and leaders are there?
"Shan Dalang, Wang Wulang, Xu Dalang, are you three brothers willing to admit it?"

How can Shan Tonghai and Wang Shuyong deny it?

Shan Tonghai didn't expect to be compared with the two people above the world's expectations, and he knew that Wei Daoshi was a leader, so he clearly and simply got the chief of the three big bosses below, and this big boss There is also the right and responsibility to discuss the status of newcomers, if you don't want to, it will be strange!

Wang Shuyong was even more simple, he worked so hard to block Zhang Xing for what purpose, the intention was to reverse Xu Dalang's head, and now he was half a head taller than that fellow, he just felt comfortable and had no other thoughts.

As for Xu Dalang, up to now, he has shown the most sincerity. He was the first one to come out and salute Zhang Xinglai on the spot: "Third brother is right, this is how it should be arranged. If anyone is not convinced, let me, Xu Shiying, first Step over!"

Zhang Xing just laughed and didn't bother to pay attention.

Besides, there are a lot of gangs in this world, and many things are like that. The so-called change remains the same. Since Xu Shiying responded first, everyone will know that this is a roughly three-tiered power structure.

At the top, not to mention the embarrassing Daoist Wei, it was Zhang Li, two rebels who were the most hopeful of the world, who took the left and right leaders.

The following is the layering of the big head and the head.

But right now, there are only three big leaders, namely Shan, Wang, and Xu.

These three people are indeed the three big men in the upper reaches of Jishui River. If they really rebelled, these three people must contribute money and effort. The manpower and material resources of other leaders are really hard to compare with these three people. Zhang Xing and Li Shu looked at it It looks like he just bowed down, but as Xu Dalang complained in private before, he only has a name, but in fact he doesn't even have a fart.

In this way, the basic power structure of the Dragon Gang was roughly laid out, and it was not too unexpected. The only shortcoming was that, perhaps because the two leaders were in name only, in order to make the scene, they had to submit to the most powerful leader. The leaders and ordinary leaders have transferred a lot of power, which is in stark contrast to the dictatorship of the gang leaders in other gangs.

Then, naturally, many other rules were added... How to convey information, how to make secret signs, how to punish traitors... These rules are all ready-made, but Zhang Xing and Li Shu did not say much, at most they heard some words Some were too reckless and vulgar, so I couldn't help asking a little bit, and after confirming that it was some muddled stuff, I made some improvements, but in essence, it was still the same way in the world.

However, after negotiating these, a sensitive topic had to be brought to the fore by Taoist Wei.

"Actually, as I said just now, the next major event is nothing more than gathering heroes and laying out a career." Taoist Wei's spirit gradually glowed. "Then some heroes, especially those who are likely to agree to join the gang, or who must be invited, should also take this opportunity to have a serious discussion, whether to give the big boss a seat, and where exactly? In fact, it is also a matter of personnel, and must be discussed in person by the two brothers on the right and left and the leaders.”

This is nothing to say.

But Zhang Xing still did not back down, he only glanced at the father and daughter of the Ma family, then raised his hand and pointed: "Du Pozhen of the Huaiyou League, my brother who is my best friend, can he be a great leader? A gang leader, can he be an ordinary leader?"

Everyone nodded, and Shan Dalang stood up to give way to the virtuous, saying that Du Pozhen and Du Meng are the main ones, and he must be above him... Not to mention the others, 18 people agreed with [-] people in an instant, and Du Po was confirmed. Zhen and his close deputy Fu Boshi must be the big leaders of the Chulong Gang, and Du Pozhen must be the first big leader.

Regardless of the territory, strength and industry of the Huaiyoumeng family, they are already several times stronger than the grassroots team of the Dragon Gang.

In this case, the trapped Ma and his daughter had no choice but to keep silent.

Then, Li Shu unceremoniously called the name of the purple-faced king Xiong Bonan, and everyone had nothing to say...Although Shan Dalang hesitated a little this time, he still took the initiative to give way... There is no way, Zimian Tianwang not only has friendship with Li Shu and Zhang Xing, he is also an old brand of Congealing Pills, with his cultivation base and prestige, and his acquaintances are extensive, so he has to accept it.

Especially the people here.

Li Shu just showed his hand, not sure whether it is condensing pills or Chengdan, Zhang Xing can only guess that Ren and Du are both connected, and condensing pills are in sight... The rest of the people, only one Shan Dalang is faintly in the joints of condensing pills On the other hand, the rest such as Wang Shuyong, Xu Shiying, Wang Zhen, Zhou Xingfan, and Niu Da are all just extraordinary cultivation bases, and Xiong Bonan is really needed to enrich the high-end combat power.

Going further down, we talked about how to contact Cheng Dalang, who is very famous in Dengzhou and is said to have already cultivated alchemy. He talked about the Zhai brothers whose elder brother in Dongjun was a facao and whose younger brother was in business on the road. A group of defeated army leaders talked about Zhishilang Wang Hou of Yimeng Mountain, Huchen the Red Mountain Bandit King Huchen, Hao Yide of Hejian, Polangdao Hong Changya, the joint leader of the Thirteen Forts in Taiyuan, and Gao Dou Lide and Sun Anzu from Jibo, Gao Shitong and Sun Xuanzhi from Bohai, and Ergao from Dongqi in Huairong... But Shan Dalang didn't give up.

Without him, these people, either Shan Dalang boasted that his ability, fame, and strength are not low, or they are the kind of rafters that are said to be the rafters that rot first, or they are too far away and meaningless, just to mention a name.

Even, when it came to Zhang Jincheng who was on the other side of the Yellow River, Zhang Xing and Li Shu had a consensus on the contrary, thinking that this person should not only be accepted, but also take the initiative to expel him, and not allow him to enter the territory of the Dragon Clan.Zhang Sanlang even suggested that he should find an opportunity to kill this person to build his prestige... The reason couldn't be simpler. Although this person was a hero of Qinghe before and a master of cultivation, after becoming a thief at the beginning of the year, he was unscrupulous and murderous. Two months ago, he was the first in Hebei to set a precedent for the rebel army to massacre a city.

This kind of person, not to mention Zhang, Li and Wei, is not acceptable, even the foundation of the Dragon Gang at this time, that is, a group of Dongqi generals and the powerful people in the upper reaches of Jishui, also find it unacceptable.

In fact, Zhang Xing gave up the Yimeng Mountain and Juyeze areas, which are dominated by defeated soldiers and fleeing people but have countless opportunities, and chose to set up the flag here at Wang Wulang. He was not just worried about those two places. It will be attacked by the Wei army first, and the discipline level in those two places is too bad, and the quality of the leaders is too low.

Relatively speaking, although people like Xu Dalang and Wang Wulang are typical reactionaries in the feudal era, they are indeed far superior to those bandit leaders in terms of personal quality, organizational ability, and vision.

If you reason with these people and establish rules, you will always be able to listen to them.

At this point, the matter is considered to be officially over, and the traditional program will naturally follow, the so-called big bowls of drinking, big pieces of meat... Of course, the wine and meat belong to Wang Wulang's family, and he has a good time.

As soon as the banquet was over, Ma Sheng and his daughter took the initiative to find Zhang Longtou to say goodbye before evening. They only said that they would leave early in the morning to come to Zhang Sange to say goodbye and ask for advice.

"Then go back."

Zhang Xing seemed to have expected it a long time ago, but he met the two of them directly in the courtyard where he lived, and then directly pointed at Wang Zhen. "Let my brother go with you tomorrow... and then he will go to Mangdang Mountain to start a business... I won't write a letter, so as not to cause trouble to you leader Du, let him take it to heart and send some goods and supplies there."

Ma Sheng is a person who understands the situation. He knows that his family is a coincidence, and he doesn't know whether it is a blessing or a curse when he encounters these extravagant people and things, so he just bows his head and says nothing.Although Ma Ping'er is younger and is eager to try many things, but when he meets these young tycoons or big shots in private, he can't help but feel a little ashamed and doesn't talk much. How to come back and get involved.

"Third brother." On the contrary, Wang Zhen, although he had already made a statement and agreement with Zhang Xing, felt a little emotional at this time. "I'm a jerk, but since we've reached this point, please rest assured that we won't embarrass you in anything...but we're going to separate tomorrow, and now we're going to Mount Mangdang, what advice do you have?"

Zhang Xing glanced at Ma Sheng's father and daughter, but seemed frank: "Actually, the Huaiyou League is half dependent on those words before, but the business of this gang is too big, the territory is also large, and there are many people. There are not only Du Pozhen, and many other people, some of these people are from the background of military generals, some from the background of maritime merchants, and some local tyrants and water bandits, and now they all have ostensible contacts with Jing'antai... You must Be careful, if you receive contact from the Huaiyou League, be on guard first!"

Wang Zhen nodded quickly.

And Zhang Xingfu came to see Ma Sheng again: "Guardian Ma, this is for your father and daughter, especially for Brother Du... You also have to be careful about Huai Youmeng, even Brother Du Right Alliance, unless he can control the situation."

This time Ma Sheng did not evade or perfunctory, but responded seriously.

After seeing Ma Sheng and his daughter off, Zhang Xing sat in the courtyard for a while, and sure enough, Xu Dalang came to look for them before dark.

"You made third brother Zhang laugh." Xu Shiying cupped his hands in embarrassment as soon as they met.

"I never laughed." Zhang Xing sighed, but he refused to do it. "In this world, don't embarrass anyone... What did my brother write to you?"

"Two things." Xu Shiying didn't sit down, but just handed over his hands to report, really like a subordinate, and his attitude was completely different from the previous two meetings. "One is that he didn't know the location of the third brother when he wrote the letter, so if I ran into him, I must persuade the third brother to be careful and not touch Cao Huangshu's brow... But it doesn't matter if you don't talk about it; the other thing, in fact It's a business friction..."

"how to say?"

"At the beginning of the Three Expeditions to Dongyi, they marched along the big river, so now there are bandits all around the big river, and Dongjun is no exception. These bandits either come to rob the local Zhuangzi or go to Huan to survive. The water is going to grab the transshipment supplies in the south...Mr. Du thinks that we, the Sidizhuang Wei in the upper reaches of the Jishui River, specially instigated the bandits to grab the supplies from the Huanshui and Liang County Canals, causing trouble for them..." Xu Shiying narrated carefully.

"Two questions." Zhang Xing was silent for a moment, then asked seriously in the courtyard under the setting sun. "First, have you told Li Gong... Li Erye about this? Second, have you ever mobilized those bandits?"

"I've already told Mr. Li, and he said that this matter is related to leader Du, so he asked me to find you, third brother." Xu Shiying said something. "As for those bandits, I really didn't push them, I don't even know them...but I didn't dare to hide it from Brother Zhang...The third brother came to make a notice that day. There are also reasons and ideas for the abandoned Zhuangzi who came west to the place where the Dongjun army just marched, so even if there is no push, it actually means to drive those people to the west and south."

"I understand what you mean." Zhang Xing sighed. "Then I also understand... firstly, internal and external closeness is here, and the foundation of the Dragon Gang is the top priority. Don't worry about me, just do whatever you want; secondly, I myself have some relationship with Leader Du after all. Sooner or later, this place will cause trouble for this matter, so I just set off tomorrow, and immediately go to Hebei to do something for our Dragon Gang, and you can use your skills after I leave... How about it?"

Xu Shiying nodded again and again, but just didn't move.

"What?" Zhang Xing asked in surprise.

Xu Shiying hesitated for a while, and answered in a low voice: "I actually have an idea, but I need Brother Zhang and you and Brother Li to nod together. I haven't told Brother Li or anyone else..."

Zhang Xing stared at the other party without saying a word.

"Can you contact the government, pretend to be the bandit suppressor of the Great Wei Dynasty, and go and destroy these bandits? By the way, get some ordnance from the court of the Great Wei Dynasty?" Xu Shiying finally expressed his strategy. "At this time, the imperial court will let go of the situation a little bit, and allow local heroes to work for the imperial court, right? It's just that this matter is too sensitive, and I couldn't talk about it in the discussion at the Juyi Hall."

"You can tell Second Brother Li about this plan in my name." Zhang Xing stared at the other party, and said what the other party wanted to hear, but he sighed in his heart.

Xu Dalang's weakness and talent are in contrast to each other... Is this a real dragon, or a thieves who never change?

Xu Dalang just cheered up.

The next day, the newly established Dragon Gang started to get busy. Xu Shiying went to the west to deal with the banditry; Shan Tonghai sent Liang Jiading to Juyeze as an undercover agent, and at the same time contacted the east; Wang Zhen went south with Ma's father and daughter; Four places contacted and invited the surrounding heroes; while Zhang Xing went northward with Wei Daoshi, Li Shu, Zhou Xingfan, Niu Da, the Lu brothers, and Guo Jingke, and crossed the river four days later.

After crossing the river, Li Shu and Taoist Wei tried to contact the famous families in Hebei respectively. This is their natural connection and they cannot compete.As for Zhang Xing, he went down the river with Xiao Zhou and headed towards the mouth of the river - there was a fifth-rank official who was said to be waiting for Dongdu's reply.

It was in chaos, and I don't know if the envoy can reach the Eastern Capital smoothly. Maybe the Eastern Capital has forgotten that there is still someone here.

Anyway, pretty unlucky.

PS: Good night everyone.
