Crimson Dawn

Chapter 157 no_name

September in the Hebei Plain is when the autumn tigers are rampant. Unlike the tragedy after the floods in Anhui, Hebei has not suffered any disasters, and the farmers have harvested smoothly. The autumn fields are full of piles of wheat straw, sorghum stalks, and other things. Crop straw or something.These are all used by farmers as fuel, so naturally they have to be well prepared.

This year's harvest in Hebei is neither bad nor bad, it's a normal year.Life can always go so-so.According to the practice in the countryside, there must be some celebrations at this time of year.This year, there seems to be something more attractive to the people in the rural areas of Nangong County, Xingtai, Hebei.

Although most of the crops have been harvested, the farm work has to continue for a long time.Now there is no need to go to the fields, and most of the villagers work in the village. As usual, Hejia Village has been populated early.But today everyone has no intention of working hard.Although they were doing something in their hands, most people ran to the street and kept looking at the entrance of the village.A blue flag was planted by the roadside at the entrance of the village, with a white round bottom in the middle, and the word "Pang" written in black on it.This flag was planted alone by the roadside at the entrance of the village, but no one moved it.

The sun was slowly rising, and suddenly someone shouted at the entrance of the village: "The King Pang Da is coming!" The voice seemed to explode like a thunder, and everyone put down their work and ran to the entrance of the village in a swarm.

In the distance, a dozen knights and thirty horses galloped towards Hejia Village along the dirt road.The leader was holding a large flag with a blue surface and a white round bottom in the middle, with a big "Pang" written on it.Except for the size, it is exactly the same as the flag outside Hejia Village.

The horse team came very quickly, and the villagers didn't have to wait long before the horse team arrived at the entrance of the village.The children surrounded him happily. They looked up at Pang Zi, who was sitting high on the horse, and shouted excitedly, "Pang Pang Wang! Pang Pang Wang!"

Pang Zi laughed, took out a handful of copper coins and threw them aside.The children cheered and rushed to pick up the money, and there was no one blocking the road ahead.As soon as Pang Zi urged the horses, he led the horse team to move forward.When passing by the flag at the entrance of the village, Pang Zi picked up the flag and laughed.

The villagers looked at Pang Zi's appearance, and many of the young people were already eager to try.Pang Zi finished laughing.Then he shouted loudly: "Fathers and elders, I, Pang Zi, said when I came here a few days ago, if anyone thinks that I, Pang Zi, should not be in charge of this village, when I come, come to see me with a flag. How? I will let that person draw a path for the competition. If no one comes to me, then I will have a competition with everyone."

"Wang Pang, what do you want to compare?" Some young villagers couldn't help shouting.

"That's right, what are you talking about, hurry up and say it."

Pang Zi looked at the young villagers who were impatient, but deliberately not in a hurry to speak. He frowned slightly and looked around.Look around and no one is really hostile to you.Then Pang Zi suddenly burst out laughing, "I, Pang Zi, am a wine bag, let's eat meat and drink."

As soon as these words came out, the villagers were already bursting with joy, especially the young villagers impatiently began to move tables outside and prepare bowls and chopsticks.

With a wave of Pang Zi's hand, his men unloaded wine and meat from the pack horses to eat.Both chicken, duck and fish are available, but they are mainly pork and chicken, as well as prepared Nangong smoked vegetables.The white flour steamed buns are filled with more than a dozen large cloth bags, which are all steamed in the morning. Although they are no longer steaming, they are still fresh.There will be no shortage of wine.Water had been boiled in the village for a long time, and the meat and vegetable steamed buns were reheated in the basket, and the aroma immediately overflowed.

Although it was called a competition, Pang Zi did not dare to lose any courtesy.The elderly people in the village were invited to sit on the throne.Wine and meat diets are put in front of them first.Pang Zi toasted the old men first, and waited for the old men to move their chopsticks before returning to the table where the young people gathered.This is a long table made up of more than a dozen tables.Hejia Village is not big, with a population of more than 50 households.Hundreds of young men.Such a large table was seated.Seeing Pang Zi approaching, everyone got up one after another, "Pang Da Wang, we have to compete with you." The leader laughed.

"Let the horse come here!" Pang Zi laughed.Everyone sat at the table and began to eat.The wine was drank first, and everyone held steamed buns in their left hand and chopsticks in their right, eating non-stop.The young man had never seen so much meat, and the smell of meat already made his mouth water.Seeing Pang Zi move his chopsticks, everyone immediately started to eat.Bowls of meat were served on the table like this, and then they were eaten clean.When the whole roast chicken comes up, everyone can even share one in front of them.The big guy lowered his head and ate it fiercely, but he couldn't eat it after eating half a chicken.The vast majority of young people have never eaten so much meat and swallowed so much oil and water in one meal.At this time, although the mouth still feels insufficient, the stomach already feels full.Although I tried to hold on and wanted to eat something, I couldn't fit it.

Pang Zi didn't have this problem, he ate steamed buns while eating meat.After two bowls of meat, I ate half of the chicken.Then bring the pancakes, put Nangong smoked vegetables, big meat, and chicken in the pancakes, pour a lot of bean paste into it, sprinkle shredded green onions, roll the pancakes into fist-sized rolls, and eat them right away.It will be eaten in a while.There was red bean and millet porridge in the big bowl, which was left to dry from the beginning.At this time, Pang Zi brought it and drank it up with a grunt.Looking at the people at the same table, there was a lot of unfinished food left in front of them, and they all stared dumbfounded at Pang Zi eating so freely.

Pang Zi smiled triumphantly: "It's just such a little thing, I haven't let go of it yet. A meal of three to five catties of meat won't hurt me if I eat it. Otherwise, where do you think the strength of my hundreds of catties comes from?"

Whether the fat man has the strength of a few hundred catties, the youths in Hejia Village don't know.But Pang Zi's appetite can actually be seen.So everyone tends to believe Pang Zi's words.

"Everyone, are you still not convinced?" Seeing the admiration in everyone's eyes, Pang Zi said while the iron was hot.

"This..." The young people were not unconvinced, but they were all juniors, so what they said didn't count.

Fatty knew this well, he laughed and said: "Actually, it's not a matter of whether you can decide. I don't collect food from everyone, and I don't ask you to pay me any interest. I just want to tell everyone , if you encounter any difficulties in the future, just go to me directly. If you are not convinced and think that one of you is better than me, then stand up and let's compete. It will be clear who is stronger and who is weaker. We are all men , say something cheerful!"

Pang Zi failed to persuade the young man, but he didn't care.I have encountered this kind of thing a lot these days. From being anxious and dissatisfied at the beginning, I can now deal with it calmly.Pang Zi felt that he had also improved a lot.After eating and drinking, Pang Zi always had to put down his words on the scene. This time, the target of persuasion was the elders, "Father and elders, I, Pang Zi, am just a poor man, but I always want to help everyone. Now that I have opened an escort agency, I will If you go to our Nangong County, you will go to our Xingtai business. If you don’t dislike it and want to find something to do, you can come to me.”

After saying this, Pang Zi didn't stay any longer.Getting on the horse with his subordinates, Pang Zi cupped his hands towards the crowd, "If the old and young masters can use me, I will never refuse." After finishing speaking, Pang Zi turned the horse's head and roared away with his men.

Although everyone has their own ideas psychologically, the most urgent task now is not to consider Pang Zi's words, but to quickly move the table full of wine and meat home as much as possible.The women in the family can't go to the table, and they have been waiting at home for a long time.

Pang Zi felt very happy as the horse galloped.Not only the refreshment after a big meal, but the envious and eager eyes of those villagers made Pang Zi feel that a large part of the meaning of his life had been realized.People are born to be envied and envied by everyone.This is one of Pang Zi's views.So he actually knew that he would never be able to catch up with Uncle Jing Tingbin in his life.

This is not something that can be explained directly in very clear words. If you have to say it forcefully, Pang Zi knows that Uncle Jing is a "serious person".And I am far from the "rules" like Uncle Jing.Back then, whether it was someone who liked Uncle Jing or someone who didn't like Uncle Jing.Whether it is the landlord, the gentry, or the common people, they all think that Uncle Jing's actions are "reasonable".It doesn't matter if you pretend to be a snake in front of your face, or stick a knife in your back.But even those who opposed Uncle Jing didn't dare to say that what Uncle Jing did was unreasonable.

Compared with Uncle Jing Tingbin, Pang Zi has no such reputation at all.In Nangong County, Pang Zi is famous for being a dude who likes to make friends.The direct result of this word of mouth is that Pang Zi's image has been greatly affected.And Pang Zi himself did not intend to imitate Uncle Jing Tingbin Jing.Pang Zi didn't think there was anything wrong with being known as being fond of making friends with "lower people".

The rebellion led by uncles Jing Tingbin and Zhao Sanduo almost agitated all bloody men from Xingtai to Shandong.After the uprising failed, Yuan Shikai led the Beiyang New Army to brutally suppress it.Those who dared to fight either died in battle, or left their homes and went elsewhere.Those who were left were scared out of their wits.Let them do something. After thinking about it, these people don't have the arrogance of the predecessors who had a bowl of wine at the time of life and death.

The previous seniors did not make life and death promises just for that bowl of wine or that meal.It is the "morality" possessed by Uncle Jing that allows everyone to have a sincere friendship.As the saying goes, morality is on iron shoulders.Uncle Jing is that kind of person, he almost hates evil, and when encountering things that are not moral or ethical, Uncle Jing can always stand up.He is not helping justice, but maintaining morality.

Pang Zi is not the kind of person who can take responsibility for morality. When Uncle Jing was alive, he was often scolded.It stands to reason that after Uncle Jing passed away, Pang Zi should be able to develop freely, and no one can restrain Pang Zi anymore.But what surprised Pang Zi himself was that what he wanted to be the most now was someone like Uncle Jing.It is not to imitate Uncle Jing Tingbin, but to have that kind of "moral" life from the root.

Over the years, Pang Zi discovered one thing.For some unknown reason, the world has begun to change.In the past, wherever foreign priests and foreign goods went, there would definitely be chaos there.Uncle Jing and the others devoted their lives to eradicating foreign religions and boycotting foreign goods.It is to restore traditional morality.But now, Chinese priests and foreign goods produced by the Chinese themselves are beginning to appear.When I saw those curved texts, I knew it was a foreign product.They are all written in Chinese now, how do you know they were created by fake foreign devils?

Pang Zi's theoretical and practical knowledge is insufficient, and he doesn't know what's going on in this world.He only knows that the world is slowly but unstoppably changing.The whole country has become impetuous, and the relationship between people no longer depends solely on "morality" as the standard.A lot of things are constantly changing.In the eyes of Uncle Jing Tingbin, Pang Zi is already a rebellious child.But in the face of such overall changes, Pang Zi's first thought was to hope that this society, the world, could return to the road that Pang Zi was familiar with.

If you want this world to return to the path Fatty wants, you need someone with a gun.Otherwise, before Pang Zi could achieve his ideal, he would be killed.Pang Zi is very clear about this.After Uncle Jing's death, the forces that had been suppressed in Xingtai surfaced one after another.Those guys who were never paid attention to at all now feel that they are special people. Pang Zi thinks that the current opponent is them. If he can't suppress these people, he will definitely not be the top figure in Nangong County.

No matter how unusual the method is, as long as he can regain the dominant position in Nangong County in a short period of time, Pang Zi doesn't care who he cooperates with or what method he uses.This is what Pang Zi thought before meeting Chen Ke.

After meeting Chen Ke, or more specifically, after getting help from Chen Tianhua, Pang Zi found that he suddenly had a lot of new bargaining chips that he could use.Chen Tianhua is committed to building a farm.At that time, Wu Xingchen was still in Nangong County, and with him in charge, Pang Zi didn't dare to directly object.That's what the farm did.

There were a lot of twists and turns in the middle, but it was finally done.First the eggs, the duck eggs.Then there is chicken, duck, and more than half a year later, the piglets raised in the farm have grown to a size of [-] catties.If pigs are raised according to ordinary methods, such pigs can already be killed for meat.And Pang Zi did the same.Calling himself a "wine bag and rice bag" is not Pang Zi's hobby.Now Pang Zi has no more means to bribe the surrounding villagers.Anyway, there is no investment in the farm, so if you spend money to buy these meat and eggs, it will cost a lot of money.But taking it out as a favor is very cheap.Pang Zi hoped that this kind of life full of wine and meat would attract those young people to join his team.

Hejia Village was not too far from Gaojiazhai where Pang Zi lived, so he brought a bunch of wine and meat with him when he went there, and it took a little longer.Travel light on your return.In addition, taking advantage of the strength of the wine, Pang Zi, who rode back to Gaojiazhai for more than two hours, did not feel tired at all.After getting off his horse, Pang Zi threw the reins to his subordinates who were waiting at the gate of his compound.Then he strode into the yard.

This courtyard has not changed much from when Chen Ke and Chen Tianhua came together, except that Pang Zi has actually given this courtyard to Chen Tianhua to live in, there is no difference in other things.Now Pang Zi is mainly active in the county town. This is the most beautiful thing he thinks he has done in his life so far.

Four months ago, that is, one month after Wu Xingchen left Xingtai, the breeding farm that Chen Tianhua and Wu Xingchen started together was able to provide a stable supply of eggs and duck eggs.It happened to be April at that time, and it was going to be a lean and yellow day.Pang Zi immediately summoned the landless poor in Nangong County and the surrounding areas.There are probably more than 200 brothers in this group.When Pang Zi got them to Gaojiazhai, he really felt that he had found the right person.

At first glance, these people are the kind of brothers who no longer plan for a future. They are typical of drunk today when they have wine.When inviting everyone to eat, everyone ate neither fast nor slow.There is no difference between drinking and eating meat and eating steamed buns.Although you can see the decadence in their eyes.But from another point of view, this group of people still has a kind of temperament that Pang Zi cares about very much.To put it mildly, it is a kind of temperament.What makes these people desperate is not the helplessness of life, not just the inability to live.

It must be said that it is the kind of despair that arises after being abandoned by the mainstream.If in the eyes of many others, the setbacks suffered by these people are only temporary.But these people have an idea that they can no longer be accepted by the "right way".Rather than saying that they were forced into such a precarious life, it might be better to say that this group of people chose self-exile, wanting to face the end of life on this road of idlers.

Pang Zi really couldn't understand why these people had such an attitude.But Pang Zi knew that he had found the person he needed.Facing everyone, Pang Zi asked, "Are you afraid of losing your head?"

The following people neither said they were afraid, nor did they say they were not afraid.Everyone asked back: "Are you full?"

Pang Zi smiled and said: "As long as everyone is in the county, I want to scare the government. I don't know if everyone is afraid."

"What are you afraid of? Beheading? Hitting the board?" Everyone laughed.

Pang Zi laughed when he heard that, these idlers didn't mean to be afraid, "It's not necessary to beheaded, and I'm afraid it's inevitable to be shackled. But I, Pang Zi, should give everyone food and use. Less. And if you want to work with me in the future, you can do it. I have no shortage here. If you don’t want to work, this meal will not miss you.”

"As long as we take care of the food, what are we afraid of? If we can't do the job, can we still do it if we coax it?" The idlers gave the bottom line of what they can do.And what Pang Zi needs is such a bottom line.

After some discussion, Pang Zi took more than 200 idlers to occupy the street in front of the Nangong County Yamen.The idlers lined up and walked from one end of the street to the other, and walked back and forth several times.The team began to circle around the county government gate.If you just walked back and forth on the street, it just aroused the curiosity of the yamen servants.This circled around the Yamen, and the Yamen servants immediately panicked.

The magistrate of the county got the report and sent someone to inquire.When the idlers saw a yamen servant coming to ask questions, they immediately became noisy, "You ask us what we want to do? We can't survive now, and we want to rebel!"

Hearing this, the yamen servant's face turned pale in an instant. "Dude, stop joking." The yamen servant tried to ease everyone's emotions.

Pang Zi and the idlers had discussed the matter long ago. When the yamen servant said so, the idlers immediately shouted, "I can't live on! If you rebel, you will be fined!"

While talking, he took out all kinds of guys and surrounded the county government.The yamen servant saw that something was wrong, so frightened he ran back to the yamen to report.And the idlers surrounded the county government tightly and started booing.
