At the end of the Ming Dynasty in the original plane, the reason why the Ming court had no way to take the peasant army represented by Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng --- or that the "Liukou" --- was because the Liukou's combat and development methods in the early stage of the uprising were quite simple and rude: after using a certain number of backbones (that is, the so-called "old battalion") to repel the official army, every time they captured a place, they forced all the local residents to join the gang, and those who did not obey were killed, and the rest were forced to "obey the thieves" because of the coercion of the Liukou. If this cycle continues, with a large number of new civilians engulfed by old battalion soldiers, the size of the entire team will snowball. In order to survive, the captured civilians had to learn to kill, swinging their butcher knives at the weaker, and those who survived the fierce battle became the backbone of the veterans and outlaws.

And in this plane, maybe our Young Master Lan hasn't realized it yet, but the basic routine followed by his plan to make trouble in Jiangnan Town is actually no different from the strategy of the original plane in the late Ming Dynasty - it is all capture, coercion, recapture, and coercion, and so on. It's just that the only difference is that Young Master Lan is only coerced by a handful of gamblers, and what is "captured" is just one casino after another. Starting from the 100 or so gamblers in the Wanbi Gambling House, and then with the Wanjin Gambling House as the first "victim", Lan Wang took a bunch of red-eyed wolves to shout "debt collection" every time he went to a place, and then said that the Hong family's casino would default on the debt, and then he threw money into the sky to stimulate the gamblers to rob, and then rolled up the gamblers of this casino to go to the next casino together.

Lan Wang knew very well at this time: he must work hard, otherwise he will "decline again, and exhaust in three times"! Now, the reason why he can drive more and more gamblers to grab the next one after grabbing one is because of the blind herd psychology of the crowd, the gambler's endless desire for money, and the short-term impulse and excitement of the human brain. Once these "stimulants" have passed their "medicinal power," their own "locust" group will almost immediately lose its motive power.

At that time, the situation in front of him and Shen Hanlin will turn passive again!

Therefore, Master Lan's only choice is to continue to lead the gamblers to rob one by one, and tie the gamblers firmly to their chariots--- after all, if everyone's hands in this group are dirty, then everyone will have no way out even if they come to their senses.

Nonsense, robbed the Hong family's shop in Jiangnan Town, if you don't run away quickly, it's unknown whether you can survive for an hour!

In this way, all the gamblers who robbed the money could only hug tightly around Lan Wang and Shen Hanlin in order to protect themselves. But anyone who is in a mixed society can understand the truth of "the law does not blame the public", and naturally can understand that staying together at this moment is the best choice. Coincidentally, Young Master Lan and Shen Da Hanlin could also use the entire crowd as a bargaining chip and shield to deal with the Hong family's doglegs.

As for how much money can be returned on this trip...... Lan Wang didn't think much about it at all!

Anyway, the total face value of the large golden tickets that are still hidden in the placket of Young Master Lan has exceeded 200,000 gold, and no matter what happens next, the Wenjia Workshop behind Young Master Lan and Shen Hanlin will not suffer!

......

"Damn, how many are these?!" Shen Hanlin raised his head in a fit of breath, staring at the signboard of the casino in front of him with no love: "Good luck to the gambling house."

"I've counted them all, and this is the sixth." Lan Wang's physical fitness is obviously better than that of Shen Mengze, a scholar, I don't know how much, at this time he still looks light and breezy, and outsiders can't see that he has run nearly five kilometers continuously and uninterrupted.

However, when the two of them turned their heads and looked at the huge team of gamblers with nearly seven hundred people behind them, they felt a sense of accomplishment in their hearts.

What's even more shocking is the various armed forces of more than 1,000 Jiangnan Town that followed behind these 700 people! The patrol battalion, the security army, the government service and the fast catcher, the dart master of the dart bureau, and even the squad leader in the prison were all pulled out to make up the numbers because of lack of manpower. These patchwork "riot squads" also have a variety of weapons: water and fire sticks, short knives, hand axes, whips, etc., and even flat poles and dung forks! These big cats and kittens are still following the gamblers like just now, following not far away, but they just don't dare to catch people! In fact, the leaders of these teams really didn't think about directly attacking from both sides and blocking the team of gamblers on one street, but our young master Lan's martial arts skills are too high! Anyone who tried to command his subordinates to encircle Lan Wang and the others was either inexplicably twisted from behind and his neck was broken, or he was stabbed by a sharp knife! Among the remaining big-headed soldiers, those who were more daring and dared to take the lead basically lost their lives in various strange postures. Most of the rest were cowardly, and they thought they were hell when they saw this scene, and there were indeed big people in the gamblers' team that they couldn't move, so these little minions had to retreat in a hurry, hanging from the back of the gamblers' team like wolves that had been hungry for many days.

As for the so-called "masters" of the Hong family who didn't dare to show their faces and could only hide in the dark places of the market to make secret weapons, they basically stopped after Lan Wang caught a few flying knives with his empty hands and threw them back to kill five or six people.

In the past hour and a half, Young Master Lan and Shen Hanlin led more and more gamblers to loot Wanjin Gambling House, Red Stone Gambling House, Balin Gambling House, Wangcai Casino and Lotte Gambling House, and the various possessions obtained were completely incalculable. The gamblers gathered more and more, and the soldiers of Jiangnan Town who followed the gamblers naturally became more and more, but everyone was afraid of the "invisible hand" that would take people's lives at any time and did not dare to make any moves, so they could only follow and monitor.

Just when Lan Wang waved his big hand, ready to call the gamblers behind him to tear down the gambling hall in front of him directly into rubble, there was a sudden noise of cars and horses from the other side of the street in the distance, and then the armed forces of Jiangnan Town, which were lining up in the middle of the street, were busy getting out of the way. In the noise of drums and gongs, the shouts of the officials of Jiangnan Zhenjing Street were particularly harsh:

"The head of the Hong family is on the road! Idlers give way at speed! ”

"The head of the Hong family is on the road! Idlers give way at speed! ”

As soon as these two shouts were heard, the pedestrians around who were already running almost the same became nowhere to be found. The only thing left on the street was the little 700 gamblers and the soldiers who confronted them.

Lan Wang waved his hand to stop the gamblers who were about to sprint to the closed gambling hall, pursed his lips, sneered, turned his head to Shen Hanlin beside him and said:

"Good guy, this is only the sixth casino, and the Hong family can't hold it back?"

"I originally thought that with the strength of the Hong family, it would not be a problem for us to loot all the casinos and brothels!"
