Cultivation begins with expelling corpses

Chapter 35 Discussion
Another two days passed, and this morning, when the weather was cloudy and cool, a large group of soldiers wearing neat military uniforms and carrying spears suddenly rushed into Pingyang Town.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, under the orders of Marshal Sun, get out of the way for the idlers, the He family is there, let's talk to someone, where is the mayor?"

The officer leading the team shouted loudly, holding a crooked Mauser in his hand.

At this time, Zhang Shaozong was sitting at the entrance of the incense and candle shop to show people. Hearing the sound, he couldn't help looking at the army, but the moment he saw this army, Zhang Shaozong didn't feel the slightest bit of temperament from them. The military temperament of the later generations, on the contrary, is full of banditry, which makes him feel more like a team of bandits and bullies wearing military uniforms to bully others.

From the mouth of the leading officer, it was obvious that these people came for the He family, and they were not kind.

The He family is also a large landlord family in Pingyang Town, and its strength is not weaker than that of the Huang family and Qian family that Zhang Shaozong had contacted before. In addition, there is a Hou family and a Zhou family. These five families together form the upper class of landlords in Pingyang town. power.

Now the mayor of Pingyang Town is Hou Wanfu, the patriarch of the Hou family.

With the appearance of this menacing army, the atmosphere in the entire Pingyang Town suddenly became tense and depressing.
The mayor, Hou Wanfu, got the news and rushed to meet the team with a smile on his face.

"Hey military master, the little Hou Wanfu, the mayor of Pingyang Town, didn't know that the military master was coming, and he was greeted from afar. Forgive the sin, forgive the sin. I don't know what the military master is coming."

"Stop talking nonsense with me, show me the way to He's house."

The leading officer didn't even look at Qian Fugui and shouted directly. A landlord and mayor like Qian Fugui may be a master to ordinary people, but in the eyes of a person like him holding a team gun, it is not enough.

"Yes Yes Yes."

Qian Fugui didn't dare to talk back when he heard the sound, so he led the team to He's house again and again.

Not long after, at the gate of the He family, looking at the gate of the He family, the leading officer waved directly at the soldiers behind him.

"Rush in directly, arrest all the people of the He family and bring them back to Wuling City to wait for the commander-in-chief to deal with them. If there is any resistance, they will be killed immediately, and all the property of the He family will be confiscated."

boom!
As soon as the words fell, the entire door of the He family was directly broken open by violence, and then there were terrified people shouting for mercy inside.

"boom--"

Soon gunshots erupted inside.

"Shooted!"

"what happened?"

"What did the He family do?"

Hearing the sound of gunshots outside, all the people in Pingyang Town turned pale and terrified. Even Zhang Shaozong, his elder brother, Yuan Bao, and Aying who followed and stood in the crowd couldn't help but change their expressions, feeling a huge depression in their hearts. Even nervous, facing this kind of violent army armed with guns, even if they encounter it, it will be difficult.

Half an hour later, the army left, but the entire He family was empty. The head of the He family was shot dead on the spot, and other members of the He family were also taken away. The money and other valuables inside were even swept away.

"What happened to the mayor, what happened to the He family?"

When the army left, someone in the crowd couldn't stop asking Hou Wanfu, feeling a little worried.

"Hey." Hou Wanfu couldn't help sighing when he heard the words, and said, "It should be that the He family has somehow provoked Marshal Sun."

Although Hou Wanfu didn't know the specific reason, but he could roughly guess that it must be that the He family somehow provoked the Marshal Sun in Wuling City, otherwise it would have been impossible to have such a catastrophe.

And the Marshal Sun in Wuling City is the warlord who controls the entire Wuling. His full name is Sun Shangtian, and he commands more than 2000 soldiers.

"I finally understand that, these days, a family's business is not as big as a gun."

Among the crowd, Zhang Jizong couldn't help sighing. He had seen a lot of people who traveled all over the world in those years, and he understood that in this day and age, no matter how rich you are or how much you have a family, you are definitely no bigger than someone with a gun.

Zhang Shaozong's eyes flickered slightly, and he looked at his elder brother, Yuan Bao, and Ah Ying and said.

"Don't do business today, go to Zhulinju, I have something to discuss with you."

After these few days of thinking, Zhang Shaozong had almost made up his mind, and what happened to the He family today also made him completely determined.

In this era, if you want to live comfortably, you must have your own power and guns. Becoming a warlord is definitely the best choice.

After a while, the bamboo forest dwells.

"Brother, what do you think of us pulling a group of people together to do something big?"

After sitting down, Zhang Shaozong looked directly at his elder brother Zhang Jizong, straight to the point.

"What do you want to do?"

Zhang Jizong was shocked when he heard the words, and looked at Zhang Shaozong.

"I was thinking, if a person lives for a lifetime, and the grass and trees fall in autumn, if there is an opportunity, should I do something big and not waste my life? Originally, I wanted to start a business and make a lot of money, but after what happened to the He family just now, I understand that in In this day and age, if you want to do business and make a lot of money, you can't do without enough force to deter others, and guns are the guarantee of everything."

"So I think, pull out a group of people, buy a group of guns, form our own forces, and then do what we want to do. The first goal is to take down Wuling. We will be the commander of Wuling, and then we can Better to do what we want to do.”

Zhang Jizong's eyes widened all of a sudden, and he looked at Zhang Shaozong in shock. He suddenly had the feeling that he was getting to know his own brother for the first time. He felt that Zhang Shaozong had this tiger in his heart besides his good cultivation talent, which was enviable. with great ambitions.

But after being shocked, Zhang Jizong found that he was also a little ready to move. There are few men in the world who don't desire power and don't want to do something big.

If what Zhang Shaozong said is really capable, think about their old Zhang family in Wuling, who have been poor for more than ten generations. It was Guangzong Yaozu who died without regret, and when he saw his ancestors and elders down below, he could hold his head high and hold his chest high without embarrassing their old Zhang family.

Then Zhang Jizong calmed down again and analyzed.

"How do you want to pull people?"

"Our old Zhang family has 800 people in Zhangjia Village anyway. Our brothers go back to pull people, and it is not difficult to pull out 300 people. Then we will use our own Zhang family as the core to find people from surrounding villages and towns. With an ocean salary, I don’t think we can find anyone.”

The wages of ordinary workers are only about four oceans these days, and they are all people with formal jobs. For ordinary people who dig and farm land without jobs, earning two or three oceans a month is not bad. Yes, the salary of five oceans will definitely attract countless people to come and work hard for it.

"At that time, first pull out a team of 2000 people, and then buy guns, and then you can pull out a team no less than that of Marshal Wuling."

Zhang Jizong pondered for a moment.

"However, in this case, we may not have enough money. Now the four of us put together about 19 yuan, but if we recruit 2000 people, each person's salary of five yuan a month will be [-] yuan a month. If you add in the daily expenses for food and accommodation, it will only be even greater.”

"The most important thing is that we have to buy guns and bullets. This is the big deal. Now the price of firearms is 15 yuan for a domestically made rifle. Imported foreign ones are more expensive, but bullets are more expensive than guns. If you really want to fight a war, bullets are more expensive than guns."

Zhang Jizong has some understanding of the price of firearms. If he really wants to directly pull up a team of 2000 people according to Zhang Shaozong's idea and fully equipped with guns and bullets, Zhang Jizong feels that they have a 100 million start to be safe until now. The combined money of the four of them now is less than 20.

"I'm afraid we don't have enough money."

Zhang Jizong looked at Zhang Shaozong.

Zhang Shaozong's expression also sank when he heard the words. Indeed, if they really want to recruit a team to gain influence, they must first have enough people, whether it's recruiting people or buying guns and ammunition.

At this moment, Bai Yuzhen's voice suddenly came from the direction of the corridor.

"Is your husband short of money?"

Bai Yuzhen was dressed in a simple and elegant white short-sleeved cheongsam, holding a white oil-paper umbrella, stepping on a pair of white high heels, and slowly walked in from the corner of the corridor. At first glance, she looked like a Jiangnan beauty who had stepped out of an oil painting.

Seeing Bai Yuzhen again, Zhang Jizong, Yuan Bao, and Ah Ying couldn't help but straighten their eyes again. It is really beautiful. Bai Yuzhen's beauty, coupled with her own temperament, can be described as mesmerizing. Shame on flowers, nothing more.

Zhang Shaozong's heart beat violently, because he discovered an astonishing fact, that is, it was still broad daylight, and Bai Yuzhen was able to come out in broad daylight, even though he held an oil-paper umbrella.

What a powerful ghost this is.

At this time, Bai Yuzhen kicked the eyes of Zhang Jizong, Yuan Bao, and Aying again, feeling the same gazes of the three of them, and said coldly.

"Look at the three of your eyeballs gouged out."

The three of them suddenly felt chills all over their bodies, and felt that they had fallen into the endless ice cave for an instant, more like death was approaching, as if they were going to die in the next instant, the three of them were so frightened that they quickly looked away, not daring to look at Bai Yuzhen any more.

Seeing this, Bai Yuzhen nodded in satisfaction, and stopped worrying about the three of them. It's fine to look at other men before Zhang Shaozong was not confirmed. After all, she was also looking for a target at that time, but now the old lady already has a certain man. It's one you men can keep watching.

Then he looked at Zhang Shaozong with a smile.

"From what you said just now, Xianggong seems to be short of money?"

"However, if you are short of money, let me know. You and I are already a husband and wife. If the husband is in trouble, Yuzhen will give her full support."

After this hour.

"How about it, is the money enough, if not, can Yuzhen go get it?"

Bai Yuzhen waved open the two big boxes in front of her, looked at Zhang Shaozong and asked.

The box was opened, and the inside was golden, full of gold, almost blinding Zhang Shaozong and the others.

Zhang Shaozong looked at Bai Yuzhen in astonishment, and suddenly realized something.

A woman may affect his cultivation speed, but a rich woman will definitely not.
