Chapter 2213

In Zhang Tianbo's opinion, Sun Dabiao's best strategy is to take advantage of Feng Haijiao's visit a few days ago, and take advantage of his unpreparedness to capture or kill him and dedicate him to the Australians. In the worst case, he can find a way out and be safe rich man.Now that the opportunity has been lost, attacking and killing Feng Haijiao would be the worst policy.

Sure enough, after hearing what he said, Sun Dabiao's face became less lively,

"Both will suffer, let's not talk about it. If Feng Haijiao is destroyed, the Australians will keep their word. If they turn their backs and deny him, what will they do? At that time, your old men were short of soldiers and food, and it would be easy for the Australians to destroy you?"

Now, Sun Dabiao began to fidget. He turned around a few times and said loudly, "This won't work, and that won't work. Could it be that our brothers just waited to die?!"

Zhang Tianbo rolled his eyes and said, "Now there is only 'two boats'..."

Sun Dabiao immediately got excited when he heard it: "How to step on it?"

Zhang Tianbo said: "Brother accepts the offer from the Australian. This is the first boat. With this name, it is regarded as an Australian official, and it is convenient to say anything and do anything in the county."

"This other boat is Daming?"

"Exactly." Zhang Tianbo nodded, "Feng Haijiao is willing to go and ask for the seal for eldest brother, don't stop us, we have to send someone to connect with the person sent by Daming - otherwise, it will be inconvenient to be separated by one floor."

"Okay," Sun Dabiao nodded again and again, and suddenly frowned again, and said, "It's easy to step on two boats, but how to deal with the two sides? It's okay for Daming, Xiong Wencan is as high as the emperor, so we can say whatever we say, the big deal Just get two heads to fool me, the Australians here are in the county! I have been recruited, and he wants to urge me to beat Feng Haijiao?"

"He wants to urge, so let's 'fight'—of course, we have to make an agreement with Brother Feng. Let's put on a show and fire a few shots. If you cut off a few heads and go to work, it's considered a fight. No It's not enough strength to fight, please ask the Australians to pay more food..."

"Australians are not fools, how can they agree?"

"Even if he doesn't want to part with the food and pay, we naturally don't work hard."

"This method can be delayed for a while, but it can't be delayed forever." Sun Dabiao has been a bandit for generations and knows the government's routines. ?”

Zhang Tianbo said: "Right now the county is full of waste. Daming and Yao people are the confidants of the Australians. The county magistrate brought only a few hundred people to take office. He can't take care of so many. We are procrastinating for a while, waiting for a while. We will make plans when things change. Right now, the only thing we can do is to tightly trap Second Brother Feng. With him around, we will have a basis for advancing and retreating."

There is a second meaning in Zhang Tianbo's words. If Daming counterattacks or the Kun bandits are weak in governing Yangshan, then the three of them together will be the largest force in the county, and they can do something; The Kun bandits are strong, and Da Ming has no hope of counterattacking, so if he seizes the opportunity to suddenly capture and kill Feng Haijiao, there is also a final retreat.

Sun Dabiao naturally understood what he meant.Xindao Zhang Tianbo really deserves to be the leader of the fast team, he is really ruthless.

The two brothers had made up their minds, so they sent someone to secretly agree with Feng Haijiao on the strategy of "fighting openly and making peace in secret".Here, Sun Dabiao fully agreed to the conditions, saying that he would send troops immediately to "suppress" Feng Haijiao as soon as he was "prepared".

Sun Dabiao obtained food and cloth, and got the name of an Australian, so he openly set up a card in Dalangxu to collect the salt tax business tax leading to the Yao district.He had money and food, and all kinds of bandits who escaped from his subordinates and all kinds of bandits who had been wiped out by the Australians came to seek refuge one after another.For a while, there was a smoky atmosphere in Dalangxu.But the Yao people in Yonghua were full of grievances, and they came to Wang Chuyi to complain.The cadres of Guihuamin were also very dissatisfied, and expressed their opposition to Wang Chuyi's plan of "killing three scholars with two peaches"-this Sun Dabiao did not attack Feng Haijiaolong at all, but used the banner of Australians to do his best, especially those who exploited Yonghua. The Yao people caused a lot of grievances.

Now Wang Chuyi couldn't sit still, and immediately sent someone to ask Sun Dabiao when he would enter Qinglianwei.

"It's not that the lowly position is evading, it's that the lowly position has few soldiers, and there is a shortage of food and pay. You must prepare enough before you can enter the army..." Sun Dabiao cried poorly as usual.

He only cries about being poor and procrastinating from entering the army. Wang Chuyi also finds it difficult, and his colleagues also have opinions, especially Luo Yiming.He reminded Wang Chuyi that if things go on like this, the Yao people in Yonghua, which they had so hard to subdue, will rise up and riot again, and the propaganda of the propaganda outlets not long ago has all become deceitful nonsense. It will be very difficult.

"... What the Yao people in Yonghua hate most is the high price of salt. They rebelled with Ba Pai Yao, and the root cause is that Sun Dabiao of Dayangxu collected high transit salt taxes and monopolized the business. Let's come to Yangshan and keep saying It is said that we want to eradicate violence and make the people of the Han people "one body equal", but in the end they still allow Sun Dabiao to monopolize the salt business, isn't it a breach of trust for them?"

This put Wang Chuyi in a dilemma. Although Yonghua Township was guarded by a squadron of the National Army, if an incident really broke out, it would be easy to suppress it. He couldn't explain it to Chief Huang.I had to come to Peng Shouan again for advice.

Peng Shouan couldn't come up with any "good ideas", so he had to say a few perfunctory words, "Let's appease the Yao people first, and wait and see."

"The Yao people are making a lot of trouble now, and they have been sending people to petition, saying that the price of salt is so high that everyone can't afford it, so they can only eat lightly. This is not something that can be appeased by a few words." Wang Chuyi was very distressed.

Peng Shouan racked his brains, thought about it, and suddenly came up with a clever plan: the second squadron of Yangshan County is currently stationed in Yonghua, and the county will deliver supplies to the squadron every month.There are two ways to go to Yonghua, one is to take the Lianjiang Waterway to Libuxu, and then turn to Zhaigang and go south.After arrival, it will be transported manually.Not only is the distance far away and the security situation on the river is not good, but also a considerable number of escort troops are required. For a troop of only 100 people, the movement of replenishment is too great.Therefore, the supply team usually takes the shorter and safer land route.That is to say, it enters Yonghua through Dalangyu.Although Sun Dabiao soon reoccupied Dalangxu, he never dared to intercept the supply convoy of the National Army.

Peng Shouan's "ingenious plan" is to bring salt into the Yao area from the supply convoy, and then sell it to the Yao people at a "par price".

"...In this way, it will not be profitable for Sun Dabiao to set up a card to collect salt tax in Dalangyu, and the Yao people in Yonghua will also get the benefit of parity."

This ingenious plan was approved by Wang Chuyi, but Luo Yiming objected again: "It has been the authority of the government to collect salt tax since ancient times. What right does Sun Dabiao have to set up a card to collect taxes? The county should order it immediately to prohibit it, so there is no way to entrain it." Delivering salt to the Yao people. Besides, the salt has been delivered, and the army has to sell it! Isn’t it a violation of the army’s prohibition of doing business.”

Wang Chuyi thought that this plan was good, but now he opposed it, and thinking about his decision-making being questioned by Guihuamin cadres, he wondered if Luo Yiming was behind the scenes, so he scolded: "Comrade Luo Yiming! Please pay attention, I am the magistrate of Yangshan County! You are only the chief of the national army in charge of public security and also the chief of the public security department! You can express your opinions according to the procedures, but you have no right to criticize my decision. If you think my decision is wrong If it is appropriate, you can report it to your superiors. But it is absolutely not allowed to engage in small series in private and oppose the superiors!"

The Senate paid special attention to the relationship between superiors and subordinates. Naturally, Luo Yiming understood the pros and cons of this. After being sprayed by Wang Chuyi face to face, he had no choice but to swallow the latter words.He felt that what Wang Chuyi did was completely wrong, he was purely playing a "conspiracy", and he did not put the purpose of "mobilizing the masses" and "winning the majority" that Chief Huang said at all in the first place.

That's all, but according to Luo Yiming's past experience, gangsters like Sun Dabiao are extremely suspicious and unpredictable.The so-called trick may not work on him—even if it works, the impact will be very bad.At present, Yangshan County already has a lot of complaints about recruiting Sun Dabiao and Zhang Tianbo. Even if they can "sweep them all in one go" in the end, it will be difficult to make up for the loss in the hearts of the people.What's more, Sun Dabiao is very likely to bite back and cause losses to Yangshan's military and political institutions...

"What should we do?" Luo Yiming returned to his residence and thought for a while, before deciding that it was not too late.The situation should be reported to Chief Huang immediately.Thinking of this, he spread out the letter paper and began to write to Huang Chao.

Just when the undercurrents are surging in all parties.Feng Haijiao's house in Qinglianwei was also filled with the atmosphere of conspiracy.

Unlike Dalangxu's peaceful scene of "singing and dancing to promote peace", Qinglianxu is in a tense situation of "army preparation for war".Feng Haijiao not only let all the bandits who were originally scattered at home return to the stockade, but also recruited many desperadoes from other places.He also enlisted the surrounding people to repair the walls of the village, build weapons and cast cannons every day.

The three of them set up an incense table in the Sun's house in Dalangwei that day, and renewed their oath to the Tianmeng that they would "never betray each other" and that they would "live and die together". Wealthy".However, the news that Sun Dabiao had accepted the consolation of the Kun thief still made him nervous for several days—although Zhang Tianbo came to Qinglianwei not long after, where he will step on two boats with his brother's "difficulties" and "last resort" After telling it again, he also gave a speech on the strategy of "fighting openly and fighting secretly".The two sides made a covenant not to attack each other, but to assist each other secretly.But Feng Haijiao is still worried - in his opinion, the Australians have few national soldiers, and they have to maintain law and order in the county and appease the Yao people when they are newcomers, so it is impossible to deal with him in the short term.What is really worthy of vigilance is the elder brother Sun Dabiao.He brought the Australians to attack him, and he was familiar with it—he knew all about his own weaknesses and weaknesses.This brother really wants to use his own head, but the back of his neck is a little cold.
