Chapter 246: Severe Banditry
Hebaoying Yellow River Ferry, this is a very old ferry on the Yellow River, go to the westernmost place of the West Mouth, is from here out of the customs, is the Yellow River bend, in the ferry north of the place of 100 miles, here is already the edge of the Mongolian steppe, but also the edge of the loess high slope, because of the storage of the river Baoying ferry, here is also a place where the caravan is dense, because of the patrol of the Yellow River patrol battalion, so this generation is safer, at this time, in a desolate grassland, is in a blood and fire.
The smoke has not yet dissipated, the wounded horses are still screaming, the convoy formed by 240 carriages is now scattered everywhere, a group of bandits wearing various colors of fur, full of flesh and murderous faces, are examining the corpses underground, from time to time there is a gunshot, those who are not dead, all make up for a shot, the small voices of the bandits and the screams of the dead, converge into a human slaughter.
Wang Er stood next to the red harrier Tongshan with a smile on his face, and said complimentingly: "It is worthy of a scoop handle, one hit, now we have made a fortune, 150 fast guns, all of which are original German goods, and so many goods!" ”
"Stupid, you haven't seen those goods, they are all in demand, and they are all sold out, at least more than 100,000 income!" Tong Shan patted Wang Er's head vigorously and said.
"Boss, if you rob the Qu family, will it attract anything!" Wang Er said with some concern.
"What are you afraid of!" A big man who was black and at least 1.8 meters tall stood up and said, he is the leader of the Northwest Gang, bloody Ma Yuanqin, a native of Gansu, who has been in Gansu for many years. At this point, it is even more so, among the horse bandits, the Northwest Gang is the most murderous.
"Ma Ye is atmospheric!" Wang Er also nodded and said.
Ma Yuanqin smiled and looked at Tong Shan. Tong Shan nodded to him, a group of people had gathered around, they were the leaders of the eight gangs, Tong Shan, as the convener, quickly divided the guns and finances, and most of the belongings. You still have to sell, and after you sell it, you will give money, but in the past days, similar things happened. He has done a lot, and everyone is very convinced of him, and his share is fair.
Simply add it up, name a number, and then divide it according to the proportion that the eight families actually agreed upon, of course, the dead and the wounded. will take care of it relatively.
"Everyone!" Tong Shan bowed and said, "Everyone has also seen that these caravans are soft persimmons. I don't know where to get the German fast gun, if we have more people, let alone the Qu family, even if it is the Yang family and the Wei family caravan, we can eat it. Especially the Wei family, you know last month. How many silver dollars did the Wei family's team transport to Taiyuan? 13 million, grab it, we don't have to worry about eating and drinking in this life. ”
Everyone's eyes showed a greedy expression, Tong Shan said the truth, the Wei family, as one of the largest ticket numbers in the entire Baotou, the daily flow is extremely amazing, and a part of the silver dollars will be shipped out every month, almost tens of millions, silver dollars spent in vain, this is all money, no need to sell the stolen goods, accept the exploitation, and directly use the money.
The horse bandits are very envious, but everyone knows that this thing, red eyes do not come, because it is a silver car, the Wei family not only takes the highway from Baotou to Taiyuan, but also has a 500-person militia group, speaking of the militia, Tong Shan hates itchy, the first time the loss is in the militia, he organized 200 horse bandits, to impact the 100-person team of the militia, as long as the militia is taken, more than 300 cars protected by the militia, it is theirs.
In Tong Shan's view, a shock was won, what was the virtue of the militia in the past, he knew it clearly, but the real result, gave him a dismount, steel-like discipline, excellent marksmanship, no sluggish command, the three things together, formed a huge lethality, a face, knocked out more than 20 horse bandits, before hesitating, after three waves, sixty or seventy people stayed on the grass forever, including the three masters and four masters who were once red, fortunately, Tong Shan saw that the opportunity was not good, and hurriedly fled away, and the militia had horses, However, their riding ability is not strong, and if the horse bandits insist on running, they will definitely not be able to catch up, which has become the first choice of most horse bandits in recent months.
This battle can be said to be Tong Shan's great shame and hatred, after knowing the establishment of the militia group, he did not think about retaliating against the militia, after all, the militia is full of 3,000 people, plus a Yellow River patrol battalion of more than 1,000 people, the strength is strong, if he really wants to clean up, he will definitely not be able to bear it.
Cheng also militia group, defeated also militia group, Tong Shan from this time, because of the strength of the damage, began to contact many bandits, with his reputation of a line of red, it is not difficult to do this, the first to come up is the iron harrier, I didn't expect to hit the crooked, they dealt with the caravan, from the beginning of the small caravan of dozens of carriages, gradually expanded, began to target the big caravan, this time to deal with the Qu family, it was an attempt, they gathered more than 700 people, stormed the Qu family caravan formed a group, the loss was not small, a total of more than 70 died, More than 100 were injured, but they completely annihilated 170 guards of the other party, seized almost 150 spears, and captured tens of thousands, more than 100,000 harvests, which made everyone smile.
"What Master Tong said is right!" Ma Yuanqin nodded and said: "I still have some good friends in Gansu, so I will send someone to invite them, at least 300 rides!" ”
After Ma Yuanqin, a few masters stood up to speak, they are all vested interests, although there are more people who come, they will share their interests, but they can't stand the wealth of the entire Baotou, not to mention anything else, if you can grab the Wei family's silver team, even if it is not ten million taels, millions of taels, it is enough to make everyone full.
No one would have thought that near this desolate Yellow River crossing, the largest tandem against the Northwest Horse Gang, just like that, began like this, a small group, dozens, hundreds of active horse gangs, from this moment on, from 100 people, to 1,000 people, 10,000 people.
Among the Jin Chamber of Commerce, he also received an urgent report to the head of the Qu family, his face was pale, more than 100,000 yuan, which is a large amount, for more than a year, the Qu family, which has been developing non-stop, should not be counted, the shares of the cotton textile factory, the income of a few days, there are so many, but 240 cars, the guys who drove the car, the master, and 170 guards, these are all hard work of the Qu family to cultivate, under the First World War, the whole army was wiped out, what did the business rely on, it was people, no one, who would go, who would sell the goods, who would protect, A large sum of money, if not someone who knows the roots, who is assured that they are protected. This blow is a little bigger. Now Baotou, with each passing day, the business is extremely developed, the products produced every day are absolutely massive, the Qu family used to be placed on the land, the business is only incidental, now, there are really some deficiencies, the loss of these people, is really worse.
"Let's go, go to the reclamation company!" The head of the Qu family said with a cold face.
Baoken company, Liu Shu is also having a headache, more and more powerful bandits, so that he is a little anxious, almost everyone is talking about the problem of banditry in Baotou, he also knows that Yang Yuanzhao has always paid more attention, but the huge Mongolian grassland, if you want to find the horse bandits who come and go like the wind, this is really not an easy thing, he knows very well that now, bandits have gradually become a key point restricting the development of Baotou.
was in the midst of a sad face, and the chief outsider came over to report that the head of the Qu family had come. Liu Shu's face became even more ugly, he knew very well what the head of the Qu family was doing, he had to come out, he heard about the matter of the Qu family, and suffered heavy losses, and he, as the current controller of the Baotou Chamber of Commerce, must appease him.
It was easy to persuade the head of the Qu family, the door creaked open, Yang Yuanzhao walked in, Liu Shu seemed to see a savior, and said: "Yuanzhao, you are finally here, give me an idea!" ”
"Is it the Qu family's business?"
"Yes, you also know, now there are more and more bandits, more and more rampant, like weeds, wildfires can't blow, and spring breezes blow and grow!" Liu Shu sighed and asked, "Isn't there a solution in one fell swoop?" ”
"Jin Ming doesn't have it over there, but I'm thinking, if we can exterminate these bandits, what can we get for Baotou through their respective relationships?"
Liu Shu was stunned for a moment, he didn't understand Yang Yuanzhao's words, what is lacking in Baotou now, funds, Yang Yuanzhao himself is hugely rich, in a short period of time, the funds taken out are tens of millions of dollars, and the Qing court is now decaying, let alone tens of millions, millions may not be able to get it.
"Expand!" Yang Yuanzhao named his thoughts, glanced at Liu Shu, and said: "Baotou can't only have a militia and a patrol battalion, can Baotou get the establishment of a new army!" ”
"This? Does it have anything to do with solving this problem? ”
"Yes, if this problem can be solved, I have a way to deal with this bandit!"
Yang Yuanzhao said such an oath, so that Liu Shu couldn't answer, pondered for a while, and said: "I don't think it's difficult, now all provinces are training new armies, and the regent of the center, in order to suppress Yuan Zhongtang, has also criticized countless people, Shanxi is a little difficult, but it is not big, but Yuan Zhao, how to expand, the number is not much, is it difficult, relying on these, can you deal with these horse bandits?" ”
"The specific method, forgive me for selling it, gather everyone together, I believe that the matter of the Qu family should sound the alarm for everyone, let's discuss this first, if you can use a lot of strength, you can use as much strength as you want, and I will sue you for the method!" After Yang Yuanzhao finished speaking, he left the Baoken Company, the steel plant in Baiyun Obo is currently under intense construction and construction, he also heard the news of the Qu family, and he came back, there are many things that need to be dealt with by him.
Liu Shu looked at the open door blankly, sighed, and began to inform the shareholders one by one, the matter is serious, since there is a solution, it is better to let the shareholders come over to solve it. (To be continued) R580
