Wang Kefu said: "Unbeatable, but can be outwitted, although the strength of overseas Chinese is strong, but after all, they are outsiders, people and land are both born, as the saying goes, 'a strong dragon is difficult to suppress the head snake', and we are all locals, better than familiar with the terrain, and have a wide range of contacts, so as long as we work together, and the tactics are appropriate, we will definitely be able to drive away the overseas Chinese, and restore the normal order of Shandong green forest." ”

Although these words are still a little empty, there is also some truth, so everyone's emotions were also mobilized, and Huang Quan asked again: "Then what tactics should we use?"

Wang Kefu said: "If we fight head-on, we will definitely not be able to defeat the overseas Chinese, it is best to enter the whole into zero, attack in a small team, and each team of about 50 people, although the selection of strong personnel, intrusion and attack on the villages under the rule of overseas Chinese, so that not only can you get the materials you need, but also can cause huge trouble to the rule of overseas Chinese, and you don't have to fight hard with overseas Chinese, to preserve your strength." And if you can kill a few overseas Chinese officials, even if it is their subordinates, it will be better, as far as I know, overseas Chinese will generally set up officials in the village, so before acting, you must inquire clearly, but overseas Chinese will also send troops to protect their officials, although the number of troops is not large, only 3 or 40 people, but it is definitely not easy to deal with, even if it is 2 or 300 people, it may not be able to defeat them. We have to deal with overseas Chinese officials who have no military protection, and if we have an army, we must not fight with them, and the same is true for the villages we attacked. Moreover, it is necessary to fight quickly, and retreat immediately after the robbery, in case reinforcements from overseas Chinese arrive. ”

After a pause, Wang Kefu said again: "In addition, you must try your best not to disclose the location of your cottage, because the overseas Chinese have a very strong ability to attack the mountain, and the artillery is sharp, once they know the location of your cottage, they will definitely send troops to attack, and if it really comes to that time, you must not defend the cottage, and you can't defend it, it is best to prepare in advance, establish a few secret settlements, reserve some food and materials, once the cottage is difficult to defend, there is a place to retreat." ”

Wang Kefu's plan was basically similar to what he suggested to Lin Shenwang, that is, to take advantage of the bandits being locals, and use guerrilla attack tactics to constantly harass villages. However, Wang Kefu did not ask the bandits to give up the cottage, because through the last suggestion to Lin Shenwang, Wang Kefu has a new understanding of the bandits' laziness on Dazhai, after all, Dazhai is not only a safe place for bandits, but also a symbol of strength, like now the Lin family actually has the strength of nearly 200 people, and it can still be regarded as the No. 1 in Shandong Lvlin, but if you lose Dazhai, it will be greatly discounted. Therefore, if Wang Kefu asks others to give up Dazhai, he will be more willing to cause dissatisfaction among everyone, after all, everyone has not yet reached the point where the army of overseas Chinese is overwhelming. So I can only retreat to the next best, only saying that when overseas Chinese attack the cottage, don't fight hard, and prepare for the back road in advance. Such a statement, of course, is more acceptable.

However, after Wang Kefu finished speaking, everyone present did not speak, and the scene was cold for a while. Because according to Wang Kefu's suggestion, it is equivalent to completely going to the confrontation with the government, and this kind of situation is something that everyone does not want to see, and everyone actually does not want to drive the overseas Chinese out of Shandong, but hopes to restore the original situation of bandits and the government irrelevant, so for everyone, whether to use Wang Kefu's suggestion is indeed necessary to think carefully, after all, the overseas Chinese have not yet comprehensively eliminated the bandits in Shandong. In addition, some people thought that this could be Wang Kefu in order to avenge his whole family, and deliberately provoked himself to have an all-out confrontation with the government, and even Lin Shenwang's motives are questionable, wasn't he also beaten by overseas Chinese to the point that he didn't even have Dazhai?

But this kind of situation was something that Wang Kefu didn't expect, it turned out that he would be able to get everyone's support if he said it more relaxed in the future, but he didn't expect no one to respond, so he also felt a little embarrassed.

At this time, Lin Shen looked at it and said: " I know what you think, it's nothing more than that you don't want to completely tear your face with the government, maybe some people will think that because Brother Wang's whole family was killed by overseas Chinese, and I was beaten half to death by overseas Chinese, so I instigated you to fight against overseas Chinese, to be honest, it's not wrong to think like this, I didn't want to be a complete enemy with the government before, if it was still the original Qing court officials in Shandong, you naturally don't have to listen to Brother Wang's advice, but now Shandong is the overseas Chinese in charge, they are completely different from the original Qing court officials, and will never allow us to be as before, and the government has nothing to do with it, not to mention anything elseWang Zhanyuan has washed his hands in Jinpan, but he was still destroyed by overseas Chinese, and my cottage was also attacked by overseas Chinese, and as far as I know, at least 3 or 4 villages have been destroyed by overseas Chinese. ”

After everyone listened to Lin Shenwang's words, there was a burst of discussion, it should be said that Lin Shenwang's grasp of everyone's mentality is indeed much deeper than Wang Kefu's, and it does hit everyone's hearts.

Lin Shenwang then said: "Even if the overseas Chinese don't come to attack your cottage, do you think you can still rely on robbery and kidnapping to maintain it? In the past few months, the situation of your cottages has been getting worse and worse, because the overseas Chinese have already extended their rule to the countryside, and as long as you attack the countryside, you will directly confront the overseas Chinese, so even if you don't do anything, you can support it for a few more days." If you don't unite and fight hard at this time, then it will only be a dead end, so where to go, you can do it yourself. ”

This remark really touched everyone a lot, because at least one thing is not wrong, that is, in the past few months, the life of the bandits has really been difficult, so everyone is also thinking about whether they can survive if they don't fight with overseas Chinese.

At this time, Wang Kefu continued: "Lin Lao is right, the overseas Chinese are going to kill all our Shandong green forest heroes, so we have no other way to go, we can only unite as one, fight to the death with the overseas Chinese, and maybe be able to fight a bright future." ”

At this moment, Zhou Xin said: "Okay, I did it." Hengjian is all dead, it's better to go out and have a fight with overseas Chinese, even if it is a death in the end, but it can make a lot of trouble, which is better than dying in a nest. ”

After all, the bandits are outlaws, and they have long been accustomed to the life of wearing their heads on their belts, so they have all responded, so for a while, they were all excited, and they all said that they wanted to fight to the death with overseas Chinese, and the whole atmosphere also changed from dull and depressed to enthusiastic.

When Lin Shenwang and Wang Kefu saw this, they couldn't help but be overjoyed, so Lin Shenwang immediately ordered someone to kill the chicken and swear blood.

Dong Kun had already prepared something, and immediately ordered someone to slaughter a big rooster, and took out 27 large bowls to pour full of wine, and dripped chicken blood into the wine bowl in turn.

After taking the oath, the atmosphere suddenly changed greatly, and Lin Shenwang ordered someone to hold a banquet to celebrate, and at this moment, Wang Kefu said: "Everyone is in charge, you are your juniors, you don't have the ability and strength, but you have been in business for the past two years and made a little money, so I want to avenge my whole family, and I have to refer to you." However, I also know that your life has not been easy in the past few months, so I decided to give each master 300 taels of silver, one is to talk about the heart of the table, and the other is to support you. ”

After everyone listened, they were all excited, although 300 taels of silver is not much, but now the environment of each cottage is not good, and some have even reached the edge of not being able to survive, so the 300 taels of silver can indeed play a role in emergency relief, it is a small cottage of 2 or 300 people, if you save a little use, you can support one or two months.

And now that everyone has decided to completely tear their faces with overseas Chinese, the 300 taels of silver is more like a shot in the arm, which makes everyone's mood higher, and at the same time, their favorability towards Wang Kefu has also increased significantly.

At this time, Wang Kefu said: "The muskets of overseas Chinese are very sharp, but in the next few years, I have made a few friends with a way, and I can get some muskets, the price is a single musket is a Mauser gun, 30 taels of silver a shot, and the continuous musket is made in Hanyang, 50 taels of silver a shot, each with 30 rounds of ammunition, and the bullet is another 10 rounds of one or two silver, if the owner wants to buy, you can order the quantity from the next one, and pay a deposit. The delivery time is 1 month. ”

Although the Japanese side could not provide Japanese-made weapons to the bandits, they could get some guns of the Qing court through channels, and the single-shot Mauser gun refers to the Mauser 1871 rifle, which is the first type of rifle produced by Mauser, and it is the standard rifle equipped by the Prussian army in the Franco-Prussian War. Type 84 rifles, so the old Mauser Type 1871 rifles were all eliminated and sold to the Qing court in large quantities at a lower price, and in the First Sino-Japanese War, the Qing army was mainly equipped with this type of rifle.

Although the Qing court has now copied the Hanyang-made Type 88 rifle of the Committee 1888 rifle, this type of rifle has just been mass-produced, and it is mainly assembled to several new armies, and the eliminated Mauser 1871 rifles are all transferred to the use of the second-level army. In addition, Japan imports a large amount of iron ore from the Hanyang Iron Works every year, so it is not difficult to get some Hanyang-made rifles.

Everyone heard that Wang Kefu had a way to sell muskets, they were all very interested, Bi Jing now everyone knows that knives and guns are not as good as smoking guys, because it is against such a powerful opponent as overseas Chinese, if there are a few rifles in his hand, of course, he has more confidence in his heart, but when he heard the price, he didn't speak, because the price is too expensive, if it is usual, maybe there are some cottages that can buy 1 or 20, and now the survival of each cottage is a problem, so how much money is there to *?
