Chapter 529: "Extortion"
readx; Wang Ying and He Tianhao were still covered in blood, exhausted, hanging a pig's nose mask obliquely on their backs, and were half-closing their eyes, walking with their feelings. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info suddenly moved, but they reacted the fastest, and in an instant they suddenly opened their eyes and pointed the muzzle of the gun at the figure in front of them.
After a while, dozens of people jumped out of the roadside. They were also holding guns, and the muzzles of their guns were aimed at You Xingyu and the others.
A middle-aged man who looked wooden dragged a rifle with one hand, separated everyone, and asked in a loud voice: "Is Company Commander You here?" ”
You Xingyu recognized him at a glance, he was the middle-aged man who was first mistaken for a friendly soldier and then claimed to be a bandit. You Xingyu smiled: "This brother, let's meet again." ”
Compared with the current troops of You Xingyu, the bandits can be described as strong and strong, and their morale is high. If they start with these tired remnants of You Xingyu, it's really hard to say who will take advantage! Therefore, You Xingyu saw that both sides were pointing guns at each other, and they didn't mean to blame when they spoke, and they couldn't hear much like and dislike.
"Put your guns down! Damn it! Babble. With the shouts of the middle-aged man, the bandits put down their guns one by one. I can't see that this wooden person is still the leader of this gang!
"Company Commander You! I am the leader of these bandits - Sun Ziwang. I'm here to join in. and the forty-four brethren will be handed over to you. Don't dislike it, these people can still kill devils one by one. ”
You Xingyu teased: "So that's the case, I thought you were robbing the road, I was thinking about what kind of oil and water can we soldiers have?" ”
Sun Ziwang blushed and said, "Company Commander You, don't be like a bandit!" I'm coarse and don't know the rules. Say, how can you take us? Do you want us to get a few devil heads and hand in the name! ”
When You Xingyu heard this, he was happy first, and he also voted for the name, he really regarded us as bandits! You Xingyu deliberately made a serious look and said, "It's okay to accept you." However, you have made things clear first, what have you done to kill people and sell goods? Also, how did you become bandits? ”
Sun Ziwang said: "I am the leader, everything they do is my idea, if you want to kill or chop, I will bear it alone." But the brothers all know that you are sincerely good for the people, and you are a person who is incompatible with the devil, and they all want to take refuge in a real man like you. Please take these brothers. As for what kind of murder and overselling goods, we haven't had time to do it yet! These mustaches, pulled up late, killed more than a dozen devils. ”
"Oh? Then how can you say that you are bandits? You Xingyu didn't understand it again.
"Huh!" Sun Ziwang smiled awkwardly, "This is what the county master said." That day, the devil chased us to the county seat, and the county lord said that we had no establishment and were bandits. If you don't let us into the city, you will destroy us. ”
"This dog officer. If you dare to go against the devil fighter, you are against Lao Tzu, and I will kill him if I have the chance. ”
Sun Ziwang squeezed away a few soldiers and came to You Xingyu. At You Xingyu's signal, the soldiers did not stop Sun Ziwang. Next to You Xingyu's ear, he whispered: "The county magistrate and the garrison of a local regiment have all run away!" It is said that he was ordered to retreat. Now there are several teams in this realm, and no one listens to anyone. But you are the company commander is different, you are a regular army, more conscription, more guns, this place will be yours in the future! The point is that you are willing to fight devils! In my words, the few groups of people who have a grudge against the devil must be the only one who looks forward. ”
"Oh?" You Xingyu looked Sun Ziwang up and down, "Old Sun! Can't tell, are you quite shrewd? Let's do it as a partnership! ”
"Hey, hey! It's Zhao'an, I listen to you. Can you say anything? Sun Ziwang said.
You Xingyu asked in a low voice, "Old Sun." Where did you get the money to buy a gun? I'm going to learn from you! ”
"Company commander! Didn't the rich men run away? Support the resistance, I think they have no opinion. ”
"That's right! Ha ha! "Hey, hey!" "Hahahaha!" "Hey, hey, hey!"
Under the leadership of You Xingyu and Sun Ziwang, the two gangs laughed wildly. According to this kind of scene, I really can't tell whether the bandits have been reorganized by You Xingyu, or whether the banditry of You Xingyu has been awakened again. They joined forces and rushed towards the county seat.
In the county seat, there is now a militia-type armed force -- the joint defense brigade of the security of the four counties of Suzhou Province. Why the four counties? It turned out that four counties and the big rear were cut off by devils. The various armed forces of the four counties communicated with each other and formed several loose joint brigades.
The composition of these armed forces is very complex, there are real bandits, there are also pro-Japanese elements, but there is no regular [***]. They are mainly private security forces hired by some of the former wealthy people. There is no doubt that if I come to attack this county, the first one to surrender will be this defense brigade. However, they are still armed with the Chinese, and they still dare not stop a [***] team like You Xingyu.
After You Xingyu entered the city, the title reported to the public was, [***]137 Reading Force Regiment Lieutenant Colonel Commander. It was also announced that the four counties of the province of Sioux were to be fully responsible for the defense. The original Security Joint Defense Brigade will now be under the jurisdiction of You Xingyu, and the brigades of the other three counties can temporarily operate in Li, but all armed personnel here must immediately accept its integration, and those who do not cooperate will be punished for treason.
The Joint Security Defence Brigade was assembled. In view of the mixed situation here, You Xingyu, at the suggestion of Sun Ziwang, expelled some people who had a lot of grievances, and even some people who didn't look like good birds. In the end, their establishment was completely disrupted, and with himself and Sun Ziwang's people as the backbone, two companies with dissatisfied members were reorganized. He received all the guns and ammunition. In this way, You Xingyu has a force of more than 300 people. However, this is only the framework of the new force.
You Xingyu began to recruit soldiers. He did not take the form of a lajonding. In his words, he would never be able to pull people out of the cave room to serve as soldiers. The recruitment of You Xingyu takes the form of voluntary registration. Of course, large-scale propaganda work cannot be done less.
"The survival of the country is the responsibility of the husband." "Defend the family and the country!" "I said that I am a beast and a dog mongrel, and I want to take revenge to become a soldier." "The man surnamed blood picked up the gun and made the devil of the dog say uneasy." In these slogans, some of them are more like words, and some are not like words, You Xingyu said that this is closer to the people, so that they can be painted everywhere inside and outside the city.
The group of people who escaped under the protection of You Xingyu's troops became free propagandists for You Xingyu. Surrounded by strong enemies on all sides and devils will be dispatched at any time, there are really people who volunteer to be soldiers, and they have maintained more and more momentum. You Xingyu felt the support of the people, and finally felt a little less wronged about the last time he sacrificed most of his people to protect the people, but he maintained a deep hatred for those who asked for money and didn't want their lives.
While You Xingyu's troops were expanding on a large scale, they did not strengthen the fortifications of the county seat much. The wealthy families in the county began to be dissatisfied, and formed a squire to report to the Congress, asking to negotiate with You Xingyu on the condition of donating property to You Xingyu. You Xingyu happily prepared a table of banquets to entertain the members of the Squire Newspaper Congress. Of course, the cost of the banquet was also paid by the squires.
The scheduled time for reception and negotiation was noon, and the time was approaching, and a burst of gongs, drums, and firecrackers rang out outside the door of the county elementary school where You Xingyu's troops were temporarily stationed. You Xingyu came out to take a look, and the people carrying a few big fat pigs, rice wine jars and other things came over. First, the two of them held a banner - the 137th Regiment of the [***] Newspaper Congress.
"Hahaha! The folks have worked hard. On behalf of the brothers of [***], I thank you. ”
"Captain You, you're welcome. The security defense of the countryside still needs to rely on the head of the tour group and the brothers of your department. You're welcome! A man with a snow-white goatee and a new gown spoke slowly and slowly.
You Xingyu said: "Please! He said no more, and the squires went into the school. You Xingyu ordered the live pigs to be slaughtered and eaten for meat, and the wine was also carried in and distributed with all the soldiers. In the big hall of the school, there is a whole wine and meat meeting.
In the original school hall, several tables of banquets were set up, and the squires sat down to be satisfied and ready to eat, just waiting for the heads of both sides to finish the scene.
You Xingyu coughed lightly: "Hmm! Ladies and gentlemen, when you first arrived in your land, everyone supported me so much, I am really ashamed! However, I still want to say ugly things in front, and I will not be merciless to those who do not cooperate and want to make trouble, of course, everyone here is no exception! Everyone eats vegetables! Hey! Everyone's eating! ”
The squire's faces suddenly became ugly, and the white-bearded man who was supposed to be the president stood up and said slowly: "Captain You, our squire has reported to the Congress, but this time we have brought a full twenty gold bars, which is enough for you to buy some belongings." We paid so much gold and silver, just in exchange for a word from the head of the tour. Doesn't the tour leader need the support of us ordinary people? ”
"Hey, hey! Need! Need! How could you not need it? Say what you want! Coming and going! You Xingyu seemed to be looking at the face of the gold bar, and was polite to this person.
"Ahh Well, this one! Captain, I need to talk to you privately. ”
"No need, here today are a few brothers who have been born and died with me. If you people can come together, you must have all discussed what you have to say. If you have something to say, just say it here! ”
"Good! I can see that the tour leader is a cheerful person. Then I'll get straight to the point. ”
You Xingyu looked at him with a smile, and his attitude was very kind. The gentleman's expression was in his grasp, and he thought that the power of the gold bar was great, and he said confidently: "To protect our property and life from threat." You might want to consider strengthening the fortifications in case the devils attack, right? ”
You Xingyu laughed: "Everyone. If the devils come to a few divisions, it will be useless to strengthen our city defense. It's impossible for reinforcements to fly over, do you think I'll fight hard with myself? ”
Everyone present was quiet, and no one spoke for a long time, and after a while, the squire's head said, "The head of the tour group is really refreshing. Our plan is the same, win or lose more simply. If you can win, you will fight, and if you can't win, you will work with the devil. Hey, hey, hey! The tour leader is my bosom friend of Liu! ”
"Bosom friend? I don't know the name of the gentleman? ”
"Don't dare! Can't! Liu Ligui, a contemptible person, is the president of the Squire Newspaper Congress. I hope that we can have a happy cooperation in the future. ”
The smile on You Xingyu's face gradually solidified, and he said viciously: "My troops are guarding [***], not a private nursing team. will not cooperate with Han Jian, who surrendered to the devil. As for the issue of city defense, don't be fooled by this Liu Ligui, any Chinese except Han Jian are within our scope of protection. Liu Ligui! I don't know if you recognize Liu Guigui? You Xingyu had already let people touch Liu Ligui's bottom in advance, but he didn't expect him to be Liu Guigui's cousin.
Liu Ligui was obviously flustered, but he still tried his best to make a proud appearance: "Our family and the imperial army have already connected. He said that the imperial army would definitely win. Let's plan ahead! My brother is in the Imperial Army, and he can speak for everyone. ”
You Xingyu shouted: "Zhang Mingshan! ”
"Here!" Zhang Mingshan also roared.
"How did you kill Liu Guigui two days ago, how can you kill this Han of their family for me today!" You Xingyu roared.
"Report to the Captain! This grandson is not worth wasting a bullet. Can I borrow your dagger and use it? Zhang Mingshan said.
You Xingyu took out the dagger he treasured. This dagger was a relic of the martyr Ding Riveting, and he solemnly handed him to Zhang Mingshan.
Liu Ligui collapsed on the ground, and everyone smelled a stench. He is a and urine, and this courage is very compatible with a Han Jian. Liu Ligui struggled and said, "Tour leader! I personally donated another twenty gold bars to buy my life back. Just spare me! ”
"Liu Ligui colluded with the enemy army and confiscated all his family property." You Xingyu said coldly.
One of the fighters answered: "Yes! "Ran out. Staring at Liu Ligui on the ground, Zhang Mingshan seemed to be unable to wait, stepped forward, faced Liu Ligui, pounced, pounced, stabbed on the ground. After three or four knives, Liu Ligui was a corpse. Blood splashed on Zhang Mingshan's face, looking particularly hideous. After the incident, Zhang Mingshan solemnly returned the dagger to You Xingyu.
You Xingyu retracted his black face, put on a smiling expression again, and beckoned everyone: "Let's eat!" Liu Ligui's matter has nothing to do with everyone.
Irrelevant! Hahaha! Everyone is still very patriotic! If you are patriotic, you have to take out some money to show your determination! Don't worry, everyone, take your time after eating! Hahaha! Eat and drink well! Drink and eat! ”
After You Xingyu finished speaking, the room was silent, only a fly flew into the filthy blood stained by Liu Ligui, buzzing from time to time.
Who would dare to eat here? They all paid the money and fled home. If you didn't bring much money, you promised to send it immediately, and You Xingyu didn't make it difficult for them, so he let them go back to get it. It's strange to say, none of the people who went back to withdraw money took the opportunity to escape. And they all sent an exceptionally generous donation.
Liu Ligui, who was pulling and pulling with him, was killed, and You Xingyu also used this to blackmail a batch of money from the local rich squires, and the most direct consequences of this incident were two: first, You Xingyu got a nickname - the head of the ruffian; Second, the number of people who came to sign up for the army suddenly increased.
It is said that You Xingyu offended all the leading figures in the local area, and when his ruffian style was hated by them, he should not have a good reputation, however, on the second day, You Xingyu felt the real enthusiastic support of the people and ushered in the happiest day since he joined the army.
Early in the morning, You Xingyu hugged a large pile of silver dollar bills and even gold bars, and poured these things on the table. Jiang Zhuang, He Tianhao, Xu Zhiwei, Sun Ziwang, Wang Ying, Zhang Mingshan, the backbone of these troops all fell asleep in the same room with him, and when they heard the movement, they all woke up, and when they opened their eyes, they all smiled happily. There was only one person, You Xingyu, who seemed to be lacking in energy, and smiled a little reluctantly.
"You know how to laugh. I didn't sleep much last night. I have these good things in mind! Hey, hey, hey! It was the first time Lao Tzu had seen so much money. ”
"It's time to pay the brethren!" Jiang said.
"I can't finish sending it ten times! That Liu Ligui is also too rich, and the other squire characters are too conscious. Hehe! In fact, Lao Tzu is in [***], and he hasn't received his salary once? You Xingyu said.
"Big brother! You mean, split his mother? Xu Zhiwei asked.
Several people heard him say this, their eyes were intertwined with the money, Wang Ying even opened his mouth wide, He Tianhao licked his somewhat dry lips, and Sun Ziwang's sluggish signature expression became even more sluggish.
"I want to divide it too! But I'm afraid that there will be no blessing flowers! You Xingyu said.
"Oh," the crowd let out a long sigh and looked away with difficulty.
You Xingyu's eyes suddenly showed a dazzling brilliance, and he said with some excitement: "I think about it." The extermination squad needs to be rebuilt, and it must be equipped with the best weapons. A new special brigade will also be built, led by Qingyun. Several other platoons are also to be expanded. Before the devil comes, we must try to increase our strength as much as possible, and even have to form more than one regiment of men. If you can beat it, you can fight, if you can't beat it, we will run."
"Report to the Captain! A lot of people came out there. I don't know what they're going to do! Outside the door, a soldier reported loudly.
You Xingyu hurriedly said, "Oh! That's all I think. Let's think about it again. Tianhao and Lao Sun put the money away and put it away. Let's go see what's going on outside! Several people stood up and went to their own work, and when they passed by You Xingyu's side, they all said one sentence:
"Captain! We've got your back! ”
