Chapter Seventy-Seven: Zhao'an

General Charlie's heart was happy for a while, it seems that you kid is not a stunned young man, and he is a little more polite, looking at his eyes not only a little more polite, but also said lukewarmly: "Mr. Earl is too modest, and everyone will be blessed and shared when the time comes." Not only him, but everyone including Clifford believed that with a regular army of thousands of people, to deal with a group of bandits entrenched in the local area, it would definitely be a matter of being captured, and there was no possibility of defeat at all.

In the county, the bandit leader Joseph had long known from the informant he had arranged in the government that the official army wanted to deal with him this time, and he had been crisscrossing the local government for many years, and he had always been strong, and his name was like thunder, and even the magistrates respected him, and even gave him gifts every New Year's Day, begging him not to come to grab the territory under his jurisdiction, so that he could get past this office.

However, the current situation is different from the past, and he naturally already knows about the establishment of a governor in the north, and anyone can see that the country is going to make great efforts to govern this place this time, and he has also sent Taylor, a bureaucrat known for his ability, to be the governor, which is obviously a tough posture.

In addition, Taylor did not come alone, he brought a powerful new army, when Bol trained the new army, Taylor went to help him as a staff officer, most of the people in the new army thought that he was a military adviser, and he respected him very much, and there would be no loss of face and immovable command, so Taylor's crackdown on bandits must not be underestimated.

Joseph called his second and third leaders, as well as high-ranking figures within the bandits, discussed countermeasures, and said: "Brothers, the officers and soldiers are about to make a move against us, and if you have any good ideas, tell me!" ”

Joseph debuted very early, and has always had the status of the leading boss in the road, and his brothers were also very convinced of him, and obeyed him. How many times did the officers and soldiers suppress us back then, which time was not thunder and rain, and it was very scary when they came, but once the fight really started, none of them dared to rush forward, and they retreated after two blind strokes at us, I don't think this time is not to be afraid, as long as we grit our teeth and concentrate on defeating their vanguard, the rest of them will be cowardly, and no one will dare to move forward, maybe, tomorrow they will have to flee in disgrace. ”

According to the division of labor of the bandits, the big boss is in charge of the overall situation, and the second boss is generally called the cannon head, which belongs to the kind of person who takes the lead in the charge when fighting and stays behind when retreating, so the two masters who can be the second boss have the ability to fight, and they are very capable of fighting.

In addition, he is the second in charge, and he is the fist of the entire bandit team, no matter what time it is, he can only say that he will fight, and he can't say that he will not fight, otherwise the hearts of the entire team will be scattered, and if the situation changes in the future, the situation will not be easy to flip.

"Hahaha!" After the second master finished speaking, it immediately caused a burst of laughter among the brothers, they were rampant, and the three counties in the north had never been afraid of anyone, so they didn't take the officials and soldiers seriously.

Joseph, the big boss, didn't think so, he was able to get to this point, in addition to relying on bravery, toughness, and daring to fight, the most important thing was to rely on prudence.

It is good to enjoy the shade under the big tree, not only the people in the officialdom, but also the bandits understand this truth, Joseph can get mixed to this point today, in addition to his own ability, the most important thing is to hug his thighs, he took advantage of the opportunity that the Kingdom of Prussia and the Kingdom of Frankfurt both wanted to cultivate forces in the north, and took refuge in the powerful Kingdom of Prussia, loyally being a dog for others, and obtained the support of the Kingdom of Prussia, which slowly grew from small to large, from weak to strong.

However, this kind of thing is always risky, and Joseph's dedication to the Prussian kingdom naturally annoyed the Frankfurt kingdom, which regarded him as a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh, and wanted to get rid of him for a long time, and finally caught Joseph in a long-planned operation and threw him into a labor camp to work as a coolie.

Joseph took a lot of effort to get out, and from then on, he became more cautious, more sensitive, and did not dare to slack off on his own safety, and he had to be sure of what he did, and he did not dare to take the slightest risk.

Joseph has been on the road for so long, observing the situation, seeing that the ability of the wind to make the rudder is superb, he has already felt that this time Governor Taylor is serious in suppressing bandits, and it is impossible to run over and make two gestures as usual, so he is very dissatisfied with the blind optimism of the group of people under him, and said with a straight face: "The movement of the officers and troops this time is different from before, it seems that it is serious, we must be fully prepared, otherwise the situation that the brothers have worked hard to open up is likely to be buried." ”

As soon as he heard the eldest brother say this, the people in the house fell silent instantly, Joseph's prestige was very high, and none of the brothers refused to disobey him, and after being silent for a long time, the three masters, who had always been known for their resourcefulness, stood up and said: "Big brother, in my opinion, the kingdom sent Taylor to be the governor this time, and handed over the fourth legion of the elite new army to him to command, it should be thinking of governing the three northern counties well. The most important thing to be a man is to judge the situation, now the situation in the three counties in the north is different from before, before the country's power here was very small, we can do whatever we want, now Taylor has brought so many troops, the country's power here is strong all of a sudden, not to mention us, even the Kingdom of Prussia and the Kingdom of Frankfurt may not dare to make trouble here. ”

"So, I think it's very unwise for us to choose to confront the official army at this time, in my opinion, it's better for us to accept Zhao'an, after Feng Bock's old boy accepted Zhao'an, he is now an official. He was mixed with you at the beginning, your strength and prestige are above him, if you accept Zhao'an, the official position will definitely not have to be low to him, and when the time comes, the brothers will be able to have a good future with you. ”

A few words, article by piece, said Joseph nodded frequently, yes, now the country is not the same as in the past, now the country is beginning to pay attention to here, concentrate the strength of the whole country to develop the three counties in the north, at this time also jumped out against the country, that is simply looking for death, accepting Zhao'an seems to be the best way out, and the only way out.
