In fact, Wang Kefu raised the selling price of the rifle a little, according to the price set by the Japanese intelligence agency, the Mauser 1871 rifle is 25 taels of silver a shot, the Hanyang is 40 taels of silver a shot, and the bullet is 15 rounds of silver and one tael, and Wang Kefu has increased everything by 20 percent, and the extra part is naturally Wang Kefu has filled his pockets, after all, the Japanese intelligence machine

After more than two years of wandering, Wang Kefu knows the importance of money, and now the original savings have been almost spent, and the salary given to him by the Japanese intelligence agency is not high, so why wait if he doesn't take advantage of this time to get some money?

In the end, only two forces ordered a batch of guns from Wang Kefu, one was Lin Shenwang, who ordered 20 Hanyang-made rifles, 60 Mauser 1871 rifles, and ordered 3,000 rounds of ammunition, totaling 3,100 taels of silver. Because Lin Shenwang had fought with the People's Army, he had a very deep impression of the powerful firepower of the People's Army, although he also knew that buying dozens of rifles would not be an opponent for overseas Chinese, but it was better than nothing, and according to the plan formulated by Wang Kefu, these dozens of rifles could still play a big role. In addition, Lin Shenwang is a big bandit after all, and his family is rich, so he can still get the money at this time.

The other is Huang Quan, who ordered 50 Hanyang-made rifles, 100 Mauser 1871 rifles from Wang Kefu, and ordered 10,000 rounds of ammunition, totaling 6,500 taels of silver. In fact, Qixingzhai has long wanted to equip rifles, but it is difficult to find a way, because Qixingzhai estimates that if there are 100 rifles, it will have been able to win the first set of ten thousand families in the world, and now it has provoked the volunteers who came out of nowhere, so it is even more important to feel the importance of equipping rifles, and although Qixingzhai has suffered a major blow, the situation is still much stronger than other cottages, and you can take out more than 6,000 taels of silver to buy * bullets. Huang Quan is the second leader in Qixingzhai, and he plays the role of a think tank, otherwise he would not represent Qixingzhai to participate in this green forest conference, so he has the power to make a decision.

It's just that Huang Quan didn't have much cash with him, and the 300 taels given by Wang Kefu could only make up 400 taels, which was still a big gap from the one-percent deposit required by Wang Kefu, but fortunately, Wang Kefu saw this and only received a deposit of 400 taels of silver from Huang Quan. And the two parties agreed that after one month, it will be delivered outside Shandong Province. This is because the East China government has very strict control over the border, and it can be done without force by crossing the border with only a few guns, but it is necessary to bring dozens of guns and even hundreds of rifles across the border, and Wang Kefu thinks that he cannot do it, and can only deliver goods at the border, and as for how the bandits will bring them into Shandong, it is not Wang Kefu's concern.

And Wang Kefu was very satisfied with the results of his operation, because not only did he incite the green forest forces in Shandong to become enemies with overseas Chinese, but also set a rifle worth nearly 10,000 silver, and Wang Kefu's personal income will be about 2,000 taels of silver, which can be regarded as a full load, and at the same time, Wang Kefu and others agreed on the way to contact them, so that there are still people who want to buy them in the future*. Naturally, this kind of business still has to be done regularly.

At this time, the wine and food had already come up, so everyone drank happily together, and finally broke up happily, and each went back to prepare for a big fight with overseas Chinese.

After the end of the Green Forest Conference, Huang Quan also looked to Lin Shen, Wang Kefu said goodbye and returned to Qixingzhai, and on the way back, Huang Quan still considered the problem of the volunteers, after all, there has been no direct conflict between Qixingzhai and overseas Chinese, but there have been two battles with the volunteers, and paid the price of a master and a cottage, this beam is not deep, so Qixingzhai and the volunteers must not coexist, sooner or later it is necessary to divide the victory and defeat, and to fight with the volunteers, only 150 rifles are far from enough, at least 150 more are needed, but they have brought so much money, it is good to be able to set 150 rifles, can only wait for the completion of this transaction to order an additional batch from Wang Kefu.

In fact, this question has been bothering Huang Quan for a long time, but suddenly, Huang Quan's mind flashed with inspiration, could the volunteers be the army of overseas Chinese?

In fact, the Volunteer Army is, of course, the army of overseas Chinese, an army led by the traverser and formed to implement the East China government's plan to divide the mines.

The main general, Li Wenfei, led three companies of troops to cross Shandong Province in advance and enter the vicinity of Shouji in Chenzhou Mansion in Henan Province, which was also a plan that had been determined a long time ago.

The scouts had arrived in the area two days ahead of schedule to conduct reconnaissance. According to the scout's reconnaissance results, the richest man in the world, Wan Jia, is indeed a bully landlord family in the local area, who has done a lot of evil, the people are very angry, and the family is extremely wealthy, so it is the most suitable choice to take the Wanjia family.

So after a day of repair, Li Wenfei ordered an attack on Wanjia.

Wanjia is a castle-type manor building, the scale is not too large, about 2 football fields are about the same, but the outer wall is about 5 meters high, with two city gates before and after, and there are city towers built on the city gates, stone arrow towers are built at the four corners, and the city wall is made of rammed earth, which is quite solid on the whole. Moreover, Wanjia also has more than 100 nursing homes and more than 50 rifles, so it can also be regarded as very strong. Qixingzhai came to attack twice, but failed to attack Wanjiabao.

Of course, it is also a great expense to maintain the defense of Wanjiabao, but Wanjia is indeed a huge wealth, with more than 16,000 acres of land alone, more than 200 tenant farmers employed, and 5 or 6 transactions in Chenzhou City.

However, for the volunteers, it is not difficult to break through Wanjiabao, because the volunteers are equipped with three 60 mortars and three grenadiers, although they cannot form a complete fire suppression and infantry artillery coordination like the attack on Taishan Dazhai, but because they can directly hit the cannonballs into the city in a curved way, they can still cause a huge deterrent to Wanjiabao.

Because it was three 60 mortars, because of its greater power and the ability to fire outside the range of the opponent, it also brought a heavy blow to Wanjiabao, and the firepower of the volunteers far exceeded that of Wanjiabao, as a result, the volunteers soon suppressed the fire on the city wall, and then the assault team launched an attack on the city wall under the cover of firepower. After a fierce battle, the Volunteers broke up the courtyard guarding the wall, occupied the wall, and opened the gates, allowing the Volunteers to break through to Wanjiabao.

And the head of the Fang family saw that the general trend was gone, and did not dare to resist stubbornly in the fort, and immediately abandoned the fort and fled, intending to flee to Chenzhou Mansion, the Zhiyi Warrior Army also ambushed an army at the back gate of Wanjiabao, and as a result, the head of the Fang family who fled crashed into the encirclement, some were killed, most of them were captured, and only a few people escaped a way out.

As a result, the Volunteers captured Wanjiabao very smoothly, and the whole battle lasted only a little more than an hour, and only 8 soldiers were killed. However, the harvest of the volunteers was very huge, only the harvest of various grains reached more than 200 tons, more than 100,000 taels of silver, and other materials were also very rich.

After the capture of Wanjiabao, the other two companies of the Volunteers and other administrative personnel also rushed to the city, because of the perfect defense of Wanjiabao and the large number of houses in the fort, so everyone unanimously decided to make Wanjiabao the headquarters of the Volunteers, and officially established a government agency. Immediately afterwards, Wanjiabao took control of the surrounding villages and implemented land reform.

Wanjia's land is distributed in more than 10 surrounding villages, with a total of more than 2,000 households, more than 65,000 acres of land, and nearly 10,000 people, but more than 50,000 lands are occupied by other local lords, of course, Wanjia's land is the most, accounting for a quarter. Therefore, if we want to carry out land reform, it is not enough to just bring down 10,000 families.

However, dealing with these work, the traverser has a very rich experience, first of all, it is natural to take Wanjia to open the knife, although Wanjia has been defeated, but still can still carry out waste utilization once, that is, to hold a public trial of Wanjia, and mobilize the people to expose the crimes of Wanjia, because there are several locals in the volunteers, in advance to mobilize some people, of course, these years Wanjia has done too many bad things, so in the process of the conference, successfully mobilized the emotions of the masses, and then many people spontaneously came to the stage to accuse Wanjia of crimes, and finally in the public trial of the head of Wanjia and the main accomplices and other 67 people were executed in publicThe remaining 300 people were sentenced to 10 to 20 years of hard labor.

This not only allowed the volunteers to win the favor of many people in the villages around Wanjiabao, but also caused a huge deterrent to other landlords and heroes, so in the later land reform, these landlords did not dare to resist at all, and honestly handed over the land. Of course, for the traverser, it saves a lot of trouble for himself, anyway, the houses and land are still there, and the people run away.

The implementation of land reform allowed the people in this area to obtain their own land, coupled with effective publicity, and the strict military discipline and pro-people style of the volunteers, so that the people's loyalty and support for the volunteers were greatly improved, and some people even asked to join the volunteers.

In just over a month, the Volunteers took full control of more than 10 villages around Wanjiabao and expanded their control to more than 30 villages in the surrounding area. This is a direct conflict with the interests of Qixingzhai, because this area is also the main activity area of Qixingzhai, the reason why Wanjia spent great efforts to build city defense and recruit nursing homes is precisely because of the huge threat of Qixingzhai, but Wanjia only wants to hold one acre and three points of land in their own homes, and what the volunteers require is absolute control, as long as it is within their own control, they will not allow other forces to touch, so the battle between the volunteers and Qixingzhai is inevitable.
