Chapter 108 Gou's Village ([-])

While the work of the saltworks team was in full swing, preparations for the hunting operation to eradicate Gou Dahu were also underway.Xi Yazhou asked for the sooner the better - there are still many people in the village locked up by him in the private prison of Goujiazhuang.But the executive committee is not in a hurry.Anyway, the people in Yanchang Village are not their relatives.Everything has to be investigated clearly.After two or three days of investigation, the executive committee knew that this person was a person who was hated by everyone and hated by dogs.The title of local tyrant and evil gentry is not too much for him.Get rid of him, everyone in the county will feel very satisfied.Although Gou Dahu didn't provoke this group of space-time bandits, at most he used their banner to bluff and cheat, but the traversers urgently need to show their majesty and righteousness, and improve their food by the way.So Gou Dahu's fate was decided in this way.

The direct reason for killing Gou Dahu was his attempt to control the saltworks, but the Executive Committee did not hand over the task directly to the work team.Instead, a separate group was formed to take care of it.The person in charge is Comrade Wu De who has been dealing with local people for a long time.

Wu De's production team has returned some bachelors, they have nothing to worry about, they go back and pack up the broken household items, and the long-term workers just ask the master to resign and it's over. As for the salary, the master didn't dare to say no to it-everyone knows These poor savages are going to do the work for Short Hair, if they put some eye drops in front of Short Hair, no one will be able to take it and walk around.

Wu De selected a few of these people, pretended to be peddlers and laborers, and went around to inquire about the news of Gou Dahu and the county.He himself was not idle, got in the car and went directly to the county seat.

At the south gate of the county, he met inspector Fu, who was the only one who was dissatisfied with the status quo—the inspector of the bopu inspection department—his yamen was gone, which made him unable to explain it no matter what.So these days I have been going in and out of Zhang Youfu's place, begging him to go to Bairentan to negotiate a deal, and return the yamen to him, so that in the future, the gray income of the inspection department's yamen will be added to five.

Zhang Youfu is such a clever person, he is willing to get involved in such a matter, but he keeps saying that he is not in good health and refuses to go.Fu patrol inspector couldn't use force, and he stood guard at the gate of the county seat with a sad face every day-this was a temporary job assigned to him by County Magistrate Wu.

Seeing the sudden arrival of the short-haired leader, Fu Xunjian was taken aback. Fortunately, he could handle a few words in official words.

The leader of the bandit Kun wanted to see the county magistrate, which surprised Fu Xunjian.But he didn't dare to be negligent, so he hurried to the county government office to report to Wu Daling.It frightened Wu Mingjin so much that his hands and feet were cold—he had already sent people to the provincial capital for activities these days to seek a transfer, but before the matter was settled, the gangsters came to him, what should we do?See, there is a suspicion of collaborating with bandits, no, the current state of the county is the same as that of a big girl without clothes.Not to mention the strong people in the city, even the yamen servants went to the countryside to collect autumn grain.

Hurry up and call the master, the master's idea is straightforward, it is inconvenient for officials to come forward, why not meet him as a personal representative and find out what the other party means.After all, the master is just a private employee of the county magistrate, so his status is easier to deal with.

Wu De's request is also simple: collect salt lessons and organize tour groups.This matter made Master Wang a little bit troubled. Yanchang Village wanted to organize a group, which was a trivial matter. There were township braves almost everywhere in the county.It is not a problem to have one more or one less, and this report was indeed written by the villagers of Yanchang Village.But the Gou family will not be happy about this.

The county knew clearly what the Gou family was doing, but the county magistrate generally had nothing to do with such local tyrants.What's more, in such a small frontier county, it would be nice if the Gou family didn't openly cause chaos.

Anyone with a little knowledge of the county's situation in the salt collection department and the Yanchang village group can tell that this group of short-haired people is going to grab the meat in the mouth of the Gou family.

The problem is that no matter whether the Gou family is short-haired or not, the county cannot afford to provoke them now.In contrast, the short-haired ones are even more irresistible.After discussing with Magistrate Wu, Master Wang gave a quick answer:

On the first day of November, pay for the salt lesson, whoever comes first will take over.

The implication of this is that you compete fairly, and our government will not interfere.Whoever is the champion will get the reward of this salt class.As for the establishment of a regiment, the county has no objection, so just do it.

After reaching a tacit agreement on this issue, Wu De said goodbye and went back to start preparations for attacking Goujiazhuang.

As for the one who provided the most information about the Gou family, it was Zhang Xingjiao, who himself was from the Gou family.But the executive committee didn't fully trust his intelligence—people with hatred tended to exaggerate or minimize certain content.The basic situation, Wu De still hopes to understand

After sending people around to investigate and inquire, it turns out that Goujiazhuang is not actually called Goujiazhuang, its real name is Damei Village.This beautiful village is located in the Gaoshanling area to the northwest of Lingao.The Gou family is an outsider in the village, but his outsider is not simple, he is the remnant after the Japanese invasion in Zhejiang and Fujian was put down--don't think that the Gou family is the descendant of the Japanese.In the Japanese invasion of Ming Dynasty, the Chinese were always the bosses. The Japanese were just wage earners, and they were not very high-level wage earners.The seniors of the Gou family were considered leaders at any rate, so they couldn't be so unbearable.Not counting his family fleeing, they brought many subordinates with them.When I arrived at this village, I found that although it was close to the county seat, it was located in a mountainous area and was easy to defend.It is also close to the seashore.Simply settle down, kill and drive away the original landlord, and become a landlord in a grandiose manner.The power slowly expanded, and he vaguely became a tyrant in the county, and Damei Village also became the Goujiazhuang.

In fact, there are not many fields in the mountain village, and the Gou family only has a hundred acres of land. However, the Gou family is powerful and powerful.Over the years, taxes have become increasingly heavy, and many farmers have volunteered to work under his family's name-although they are exploited, they can still make a living.

The Gou family basically relies on these fields, collects a lot of rent every year, and lends usury at the same time, accumulating considerable property.There are more than 200 households in the village, and the population of men, women and children is more than 1000. The location of the village is on a small hillside, which is not steep, but there are many villagers, and most of them are desperadoes who fled from the mainland. A bachelor without a job.The village is tightly guarded, and there are two walls surrounding the village. The outer layer is occupied by ordinary villagers, farmers, and tenants, and the inner layer is the houses of more than a dozen families of the Gou family.They are guarded by specially-raised servants, and no one who is not an acquaintance in the village can enter the inner village.

What's even more amazing is that the Gou family still continues the pirate tradition of their ancestors. Although they don't do it themselves, they hook up with small groups of bandits at sea-they can't cling to the thighs of people like Liu Laoxiang, but small groups of pirates There are plentiful ones at sea.Although pirates make a living at sea, they still have to go ashore to fetch water, sell stolen goods on shore, and recuperate when injured or sick—so no matter how big or small, pirates must have a home on shore.The Gou family is such a nest family—but they also have principles: they never sell stolen goods in Lingao, firstly, the place here is small, and the purchasing power is not so strong, and secondly, they don't want to get into trouble with the government.The whereabouts of the stolen goods can be seen from Qiongshan according to the information he has.It is very rare for the local wealthy family of the Gou family to have business in Qiongshan.The sense of commodity economy seems to be very strong.

Although Qiongshan is richer and more prosperous than Lingao, it is only the first county of Qiongzhou Prefecture.The intelligence and information group of the executive committee deduced that the Gou family's business in Qiongshan was just a window for selling stolen goods to the mainland.

In order to find out the specific situation and defense situation of Goujiazhuang, Wu De requested to send a professional reconnaissance team to carry out a reconnaissance.Bei Wei is not in Bairen City, but the reconnaissance team he trained has begun to take shape.After Bei Wei's recommendation, Xue Ziliang led the team to carry out this reconnaissance mission. The Executive Committee received protests from some people, saying that this kind of military affairs should not be assigned to this ABC.Fortunately, he was recommended by a heavyweight military leader like Bei Wei, otherwise he would be familiar with foreign countries, and he would be obsessed with the hat of worshiping foreigners.

For Xue Ziliang, such reconnaissance operations are purely at the pediatric level.However, his attitude is still very correct. After all, it is the first time in the organization that he is fully responsible.Ye Mengyan also finally got his first real mission, and he immediately put all kinds of private goods in his luggage on his body: what jungle BDU, US military individual armor LC1, no matter the genuine civilian version, real or fake, he piled them all on his body up.For someone like Xue Ziliang who has been using genuine products for a long time, this half-authentic outfit is extremely amateurish.With an 80 helmet on his head and an SKS rifle in his hand, he looks like a South American guerrilla.

"Without so much equipment, our reconnaissance mission is very simple."

Although Xue Ziliang is very unpopular among the nationalists, he is very popular in Beiwei's reconnaissance team-those who are capable and capable can stand out everywhere.He is different from Bei Wei.Although Bei Wei has solid scouting skills, but has zero actual combat experience, Xue Zihao has been in the Middle East, and has carried out many missions with real knives and guns.In terms of combat experience, apart from He Ming, who fought the little devil in Vietnam, I really can't find a second one.The young man who loves military is especially fond of this, so Xue Ziliang has been talking about his combat experience and various anecdotes in the US military for a long time.He was sociable, and he had grown up in the United States, and he had inherited the American tradition of chattering.The nightlife in Lingao was dull and boring, and listening to him talk about the mountains became the only entertainment for the reconnaissance team at night.

"Then what are you taking?" Xiaoye felt unwilling. This equipment had no chance to show off, so it was brought for nothing.

"Usual equipment is fine." Xue Ziliang knew that other things didn't matter, the key was to find a guide.Damei Village cannot be found on the maps printed in the 21st century.
