Republic of China 1927

Chapter 26 Phoenix Mountain

() In the backyard of the Loyalty Hall of Phoenix Mountain, Wang Baichuan, the head of the family, is lying leisurely on a chair and dozed off. Two beautiful women behind him are attentively serving him. He is afraid that the old man in front of him will be unhappy. A few days ago, there was a woman When the hands were slightly heavier during the massage, they were directly rewarded to the bandits under him and were finally trampled to death.

"Su San left Hongdong County..." Wang Baichuan suddenly thought of something happy and started humming a ditty.

The 48-year-old Wang Baichuan went to the Guandong with his tribe at the age of sixteen or seventeen. If he couldn't get along, he became a beard. Later, his beard was recruited, and he became an officer of the Qing Dynasty, but the good times didn't last long for his troops. He was broken up during the Gengzi Incident, and had no choice but to become a bandit again. In this way, he sometimes became a bandit and sometimes became a soldier, and repeated many times.Since the Republic of China, the beard in the Northeast has become more and more difficult to grow, and after all the tossing and tossing, there is no big situation. In desperation, I had to sneak back to my hometown in southern Shandong with a few brothers who had been with me for many years, and copied my old business in this Yimeng mountain area.

"I'm old, and it's time to stop." Wang Baichuan suddenly opened his eyes and said to himself, as if making a major decision.

"Come on, come on!" Wang Baichuan was impatient, he would do whatever came to his mind, since he decided to go down the mountain, he should make a decision as soon as possible, otherwise there would be no shop after passing this village.

"What's your order?" A medium-sized bandit quickly rushed outside. This man was Zhu Yongqiang, a groom who had followed Wang Baichuan for many years. A group, self-appointed as the head of the group, under the jurisdiction of battalions and companies, but the people under it like to follow the rules of the bandit den.

"Call all the battalion and company commanders on the mountain to the conference hall, and call Liu Junshi and Captain Yang to me." Wang Baichuan said bluntly, "All come to the main hall of the Loyalty Hall. We have important matters to discuss."

"Good." Zhu Yongqiang slapped Qian Yingcheng, but his eyes were fixed on a woman behind Wang Baichuan, and he didn't move.

"You bastard, don't call me quickly." Seeing Zhu Yongqiang's ugliness, Wang Baichuan laughed and scolded: "Sooner or later, I will get tired of playing, and you will be cheap, you bastards."

"Thank you for the reward, head, thank you for the reward." Zhu Yongqiang smiled lewdly and ran out thankfully.

More than ten minutes later, the meeting hall of the Loyalty Hall was crowded with people and all the seats were full, but the tiger-skin seats in the middle were still vacant, and the rest of the people sat down according to their seats on the mountain.

"Why did the boss call us so urgently?" The commander of the third battalion of the Phoenix Mountain Regiment shouted to the people next to him with a displeased face: "I have lost money and can't get it back."

"You Wang Wu only lost a little money. I got a chick and I was told to get out of bed." Jiang Nanxiang, the battalion commander of the fourth battalion, said with a smile: "I reckon the big boss has a big business to do, so call us all. Plan and plan."

"Plan a fart, grab wherever you want, and there are villages and towns that our Phoenix Mountain can't break through." Wang Wu yelled cursingly. Since his debut, he has been smooth and smooth, and he has done a lot.

"Of course we have to plan well. We don't like ordinary villages now. Big towns and even county towns are too hard to do. It's not like we didn't get the Yishui county town the last two times." Jiang Nanxiang was much more thoughtful, before Although the two attacks on Yishui County have gained a lot by robbing the surrounding villages and towns, it is just that when the county was attacked, the loss of heavy weapons was not small, and it was not captured.

"I guess it's a matter of recruiting security. I heard that the government and army sent people to the mountain again a few days ago." Another leader muttered in a low voice: "I'm afraid the boss is tempted."

"Don't worry about it, Nainai, just give us a battalion of 500 people, and the remaining [-] brothers will go to the northwest wind!" Cursing angrily, this is not the first time someone wants to recruit Phoenix Mountain, but the conditions have not been negotiated, and almost every time the recruitment fails, they will come to suppress the last time.

"I heard that the conditions given this time are very good, at least we can form a regiment." The leader whispered again.

"Really? That's a good thing!" Jiang Nanxiang was overjoyed when he heard the words, eating meat in a big bowl in the mountains and sharing gold and silver in big pieces, it's fun to say, but the risk is also very high, no one can guarantee that he will die that day, so it can be compared It's safe and sound in the official army.

"Stop arguing, stop arguing, the master and the military adviser are here." Wang Wu just wanted to refute, but was stopped by the people next to him, and he saw Wang Baichuan in an old military uniform, accompanied by Liu Dongming in a commoner gown and a burly Yang Wei Walked in swaggeringly, and finally sat down on the tiger leather seat.As soon as he came, the chaotic meeting hall suddenly became quiet, and all the bandits inside sat upright.

"You're all here. I called you here today because I have a big matter to discuss!" Wang Baichuan scanned the audience before he said with satisfaction: "Mr. Liu Jun, please tell everyone about the matter, and we will discuss it after we finish talking."

"Okay, Master." Liu Dongming stood up and cupped his fists at Wang Baichuan, and said to the people in the conference hall: "To tell you the truth, Brother Zhang Zongchang from Jinan has sent someone to recruit again."

"Why are you here again?"

"Recruiting Annabi, we are at ease on the mountain."

…………

"Quiet, let Junshi Liu finish talking first, and you will have time to talk later." Wang Baichuan said loudly with his hands raised.

"This time is different from the past. Marshal Zhang is very sincere. Not only are the past incidents ignored, but he also gave us a brigade establishment. After we go down the mountain, we will be paid in full and supplemented with some ordnance." Liu Dongming said enthusiastically Dao, at least in his own opinion, the conditions are quite good.

"I discussed it with the military adviser, and I think the conditions are not bad, and I am inclined to accept the recruitment. After all, you have been with Wang Baichuan for many years, and you will not let everyone be a bandit for the rest of your life." Wang Baichuan took the words and said affectionately: "Zhang Zongchang Zhang Da Shuai was also a bearded man in the Northeast like me back then, and he was destined to leave the mountain early, and now he is a general who has divided the two provinces and has hundreds of thousands of soldiers."

"That's all I've said. Brothers, if you have any disagreements, you can just say it." Wang Baichuan pretended to be generous and said, "I will not make things difficult for any brothers who don't want to go down the mountain, as long as they leave their guns and get a sum from me." Severance pay."

"Your wise man, we will do whatever you decide."

"Congratulations, Master, from now on I will call you Old Traveler!"

"Haha, when the head of the family becomes the brigade commander, we, the battalion commander, can also be promoted by one rank."

…………

Wang Baichuan's words were all about this, and that blunt bandit still dared to object, and everyone scrambled to sing praises, hoping to find a good position after going down the mountain.

"Then let's go!" Seeing that no one objected, Wang Baichuan waved his hand and said, "Don't go down the mountain for a few days, and make a good impression on Zhang Dashuai's people. Anyway, we will eat imperial food in the future."

Everyone was overjoyed when they heard that, and they did what they had to do. Wang Baichuan also returned to the backyard comfortably to continue discussing with Liu Junshi and Captain Yang about the specific matters of going down the mountain.

"Boss, Captain Lu is back. He has something urgent to see you." While the three of them were discussing, Zhu Yongqiang rushed in again in a hurry.

"Old Lu is back. I'm afraid there is something important. Let him in." Wang Baichuan frowned. It was sent up the mountain by a messenger, and they rarely went up the mountain directly. Could it be that there is a change in the recruitment?

"Boss, I have something important to report." Seeing that Master Liu and Captain Yang were there, Captain Lu was stunned for a moment.

"Tell me quickly, is there a change in the matter of recruiting security?" Wang Baichuan said impatiently.

"That's not true, just wait for the head to nod." Captain Lu shook his head, and then said: "There is something about Fourth Master Han."

"Oh, tell me quickly." Wang Baichuan hurriedly asked. Han Si was sent to Taiping Gu to beat Li Mantang, but he disappeared as soon as he went there. Later, he sent people to investigate and found that Taiping Gu was empty. Some houses were completely burnt down.Because Taipinggu is still far away from Phoenix Mountain at the northern foot of Yishan Mountain, and Du Yan took some measures intentionally or unintentionally, the bandits in Phoenix Mountain have not been found out.

"According to the news I got, Li Mantang and his group were attacked late at night on the day when they sent the Kitchen God to the Kitchen God years ago, and the cottage was taken away." Captain Lu said softly: "I reckon Fourth Master Han is most likely to be in danger." Less!"

"It's so powerful that you actually took away Taiping Gu?" Wang Baichuan and Liu Dongming looked at each other and asked, "Can you find out which group of people did it?" Li Mantang smashed the fat kiln in Dongjiazhuang. There are few, but there are not many who have the ability to make peace overnight.

"It is rumored that the Du family in Daguan Town did it!" Captain Lu nodded and said, "I'm not sure about the small ones, but Daguan Town recently set up a security team and recruited two people. Everyone knows."

"The Du family? Isn't the Du family a legitimate businessman?" Wang Baichuan asked eagerly, frowning: "When will you start a business?" Many local tyrants and gentry in Yimeng area are black and white.

"I'm not too sure about this. I only know that the young master of the Du family has returned from the outside." Captain Lu also shook his head and said, "He led the way to create the security team, and it's quite impressive!"

"The security group is just the original militia!" Captain Yang said disapprovingly, "Which town doesn't have it, and who knows what kind of goods it is."

"It's a pity for the property of Dongjiazhuang!" Wang Baichuan felt a little heartache when he thought that the fat in his mouth was eaten by others.

"Master, why don't we make another vote and imprison the Du family." Captain Yang saw through Wang Baichuan's thoughts and said, "If it's not a few days, it won't delay the recruitment plan."

"The boss, this is not good." Liu Dongming said in embarrassment: "Won't it ruin the reputation if it spreads out, especially since this Du family is one of the most prominent figures in Luzhong, it might cause a lot of trouble!"

"That's right, the Du family is tough. Besides, there is a company of officers and soldiers stationed in the town." Captain Lu also expressed his objection. Walking around outside, he could see that the defense capability of Daguan Town had been significantly enhanced.

"Dong's family is worth hundreds of thousands, and the Du family is probably worth more than a million!" Wang Baichuan paced up and down the room, and finally made up his mind: "If we are recruited, there will be more places to spend money. There are even more restrictions!"

"Since the boss has decided to do it, let's make a plan!" Liu Junshi saw that the boss had made up his mind and stopped objecting, and helped him think of countermeasures. This is a qualified military adviser.

"Then I'll go down the mountain immediately and find out the situation in the town." Captain Lu also changed his words.

"Okay, okay, the benefits are indispensable to everyone." Wang Baichuan was very satisfied to see that his subordinates were so knowledgeable, and praised him.

Please recommend tickets, don't waste the tickets in the hands of brothers, give me a little bit.
