"Xiao Li, show me Bai Lang's documents again." Chen Ke said to the secretary. The Bailang Uprising was a major event in Henan after the end of the Qing Dynasty, and in addition, it may be able to match it, probably because Jiang Guangtou blew up the mouth of the garden, turning the southern part of the Yellow River into a yellow flood. The Great Famine in Henan in 1942 was inevitable after the Yellow Flood Area.

The People's Party did not record much about Bai Lang, and Chen Ke did not want to deliberately let his comrades pay too much attention to Bai Lang. First of all, Bai Lang is just one of the many local armed forces in Henan. A few years ago, when Yuan Shikai confronted the People's Party, Henan's taxes were higher than the sky. Even if Yuan Shikai led his troops back to Beijing to seize power, Henan's taxes still did not come down. This has already caused a rebellion in the entire county bordering the base area and demanded to join the base area. Local armed forces all over Henan were rebelling against Yuan Shikai's rule, and the more well-known power information collected by the People's Party's intelligence agencies was more than half a high. If Chen Ke didn't know the name "Bai Lang", Bai Lang's information would not be conspicuous in this thick stack of materials.

Chen Ke already has an image of "wise and close to demon" among his comrades, and he is unwilling to show any "unpredictable prophet" style. And the current situation is very different from history, whether Bai Lang can set off monstrous waves in Henan and Shaanxi as in history is still a matter of two things.

Despite repeated admonitions to himself, Chen Ke still couldn't shake off the deep impression that history had left on him. "Bai Lang" is homophonic to "White Wolf", Chen Ke is also a guy who has watched Japanese animation for many years, and he can't ignore this name.

After the document was acquired, Chen Ke looked through the cover and found that he had a report added to it. Flipping to the attached report, Chen Ke was slightly stunned. The intelligence department's investigation was quite well done, and the new intelligence mentioned that Bai Lang had a southerner in his ranks. Bai Lang called him "Mr. Wang", and said that Mr. Wang was a student who had returned from overseas and was a member of the Alliance. When these pieces of information were combined with the information that Chen Ke knew about Wang Jingwei, Chen Ke was very suspicious that this Mr. Wang was Wang Jingwei, who had escaped from Beijing.

"It's interesting." Chen Ke muttered. Wang Jingwei is the guy who offended Chen Ke, and when he learned that Wang Jingwei might have colluded with Bai Lang, Chen Ke not only did not get angry, but had certain expectations for such a combination. At this stage, Wang Jingwei is also a hot-blooded doer, if this person next to Bai Lang is really Wang Jingwei, Bai Lang is very likely to launch an attack on Beiyang as in history. The People's Party has not yet reached the point of directly tearing its face with Yuan Shikai, but once Henan falls into chaos, the People's Party will have a reason to wave its troops into Henan.

After occupying Henan, the People's Party could even demand the construction of a steel group in Handan. Anyang, Henan Province is only separated from Handan by a Zhanghe River, and with the background of force, it no longer matters whether Yuan Shikai is willing or not.

"Xiao Li, find out the latest information related to Bai Lang." Chen Ke said.

"Yes." Secretary Li replied simply and clearly.

Chen Ke leaned back in the chair, and because he was wearing it thicker, the hard back of the chair felt very comfortable. Chen Ke's fingers tapped lightly and nimbly. The secretaries had seen this action many times, but they couldn't understand the meaning of it at all, so they turned a blind eye. If the secretaries were proficient in computer keyboards, they might be able to see it. Chen Ke typed one of the basic commands for database queries, "Select*From".

Without an internet connection and a shared database, it is extremely difficult to get the most up-to-date information. Even now, with a telephone, it takes at least ten minutes to get an information more than ten miles away. And the speed of information sharing is even slower. This is Chen Ke's greatest regret about the current intelligence work of the People's Party.

Wang Jingwei did not know that he had become the target of Chen Ke's calculations, and on this Chinese New Year's Eve, Wang Jingwei was still choked by the cold even though he was wearing a thick cotton coat. After several hours of blowing in the cold wind of the night, he only felt that his whole face was frozen. The snot kept leaving out, Wang Jingwei no longer had the demeanor of a beautiful young man, and whenever he felt that the snot was about to flow to his lips, he wiped it vigorously with the sleeve of his padded jacket.

A tall and thin man beside Wang Jingwei didn't say a word, and handed over a piece of cloth casually, and Wang Jingwei hurriedly covered his face with the cloth. In general, robbers like to commit crimes with masks. Wang Jingwei was inexplicably resistant to this, but after spending so much of the night in this cold field, he finally discovered that the robbers probably wore face towels not only to prevent others from seeing their faces.

After only covering it for a moment, Wang Jingwei felt a lot better on his face, and he asked in a low voice, "Brother Bai Lang, are you ready to do it?" ”

The man next to Wang Jingwei didn't say anything, just quietly stared at Zhuangzi who was brightly lit in the distance and occasionally had the sound of firecrackers. Just as he thought he would continue to wait, Wang Jingwei heard Bai Lang next to him speak, "Brothers, copy the guy and get ready." ”

The heroes next to Bai Lang were originally squatting on the ground in groups, and after listening to Bai Lang's order, they whispered to the brothers next to them: "Do it, get up quickly." He stood up. After a while, more than 100 people gathered in the black pressure of the ridge.

"Brothers, I won't say much else. Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, and the rents collected by the He family and the ill-gotten gains they have robbed are all stored in the warehouse. I won't say much, I'll just say one. Break Hejiabao and live happily for more than half a year. Bai Lang shouted to the heroes.

"Break Hejiabao and live happily for half a year!" All the heroes responded in unison. Bai Lang then took a step and took the lead in the direction of Zhuangzi. Wang Jingwei didn't stop, he held the firearm issued to him tightly, and followed the heroes to run forward quickly.

The He family's Zhuangzi is no different from an ordinary village, with poor houses on the periphery, and a rather solid compound built on the higher ground in the middle. The brick and stone courtyard wall is expected to be built at all four corners. The guards of Hejiabao in Pingsuri are cautious, especially during the Chinese New Year, and the gate is closed early. More than 100 people flocked to the courtyard, and the courtyard was immediately full of people. The dog in the nursing home barked non-stop.

Wang Jingwei carried a hunting firearm and followed the team straight to the gate. I don't know what year this firearm was made, it is very different from the rifle that Wang Jingwei is used to, and it feels extremely inconvenient to hold this thing when running. Seeing the other heroes running like flying with big swords and spears, Wang Jingwei quickened his pace and ran.

The families on the outskirts went to bed early, so the wooden doors on the thatched houses were closed. Hearing such a noisy shouting and killing, no one dared to open the door. There was no obstacle along the way, and everyone rushed to the front of the gate of Hejiabao. Bai Lang had already rushed to the front, and at this time he had already stood still. I saw that he was holding a torch in his left hand and raising his right hand high, and without an order, the heroes stopped behind Bai Lang.

The courtyard continued to be in a mess, and after a while, someone shouted from the wall: "Which way is the good man outside, report your name." ”

"I'm your grandfather Bai Lang." Bai Lang shouted.

Hearing the title of "Bai Lang", there was immediately a burst of exclamations in the courtyard. Wang Jingwei vaguely heard someone scolding, "Don't shout." Whoever shouts will hit me. After a while, the courtyard was barely quiet. When Wang Jingwei didn't know what to do next, he was sure that someone in the courtyard shouted: "Bai Lang, we have no grievances and no enemies on weekdays, why did you come to us?" ”

Hearing this, Bai Lang shouted: "No injustice and no hatred? Your He family's chief is a good one. Zhang Zhenfang let him collect seventy percent of the tax, and you will add it to ninety. Black hearts can't be black like this. If you can't pay your taxes, you will be arrested. This is to force people to death. ”

Wang Jingwei knew that Zhang Zhenfang was the governor of Henan and Yuan Shikai's subordinate. After Yuan Shikai left, he guarded Henan, which can be said to be a forcible seizure. He Chengge, the leader of Hejiabao, is the chief of this place. His family was originally a tax collector, but he was a local tyrant. When Yuan Shikai was there, he was appreciated for his crazy tax collection. As soon as the Manchu Qing Dynasty fell, He Chengge had more power in Baofeng. Now he is a local councillor in Baofeng and a member of the Henan Provincial Assembly.

The people inside didn't care too much about Bai Lang's words, and he shouted: "Bai Lang, you take your Yangguan Road, and we take our single-plank bridge." Everyone doesn't eat all the way, so why bother fighting. It's not easy for your brothers to come for the New Year, so I'll give you fifty stones of grain and five hundred oceans, and the brothers will disperse. ”

Bai Lang laughed after hearing this, "Don't talk about fifty stone of grain in your granary now, I'm afraid that a thousand stone of grain won't be pulled down." Needless to say, the money is as good as the amount is. I know that your master is not there, so why should you give them your life? If you are interested, open the door obediently. We'll give you a portion when we're gone. If you don't open the door, when we go in, you'll all have to lose your head. ”

The guy who originally had no reaction to Bai Lang's righteous and strict words fell silent after listening to Bai Lang's words. Although he didn't know what was going on inside, Wang Jingwei obviously felt that the people inside were nervous.

There was no sound inside, but Bai Lang didn't wait any longer, he waved his hand back, the heroes were at least brothers who had followed Bai Lang for several months, and everyone stepped back without speaking. Bai Lang threw the torch in front of He Jiabao and slowly retreated.

Such a move made the people in the compound nervous, "Bai Lang, we'll double it for you." Let's go. If you provoke our master, the officers and soldiers will not let you go. ”

These words were even pleading and threatening. Bai Lang didn't react to this at all, he patted Wang Jingwei beside him, Wang Jingwei knew his task, watching the torch in front of the gate of Hejiabao gradually go out, he and a dozen brothers with firearms did not retreat, but walked forward. Within the approximate range of the firecracker, Wang Jingwei shouted in Cantonese broken Henanese: "Fight." ”
