Xiao Xiong sent off three of the six medium-sized ships sent by the theater command overnight, leaving three of them. He also hurriedly ordered people to hide most of the materials that had been allocated in the mezzanine or under the bottom and helm of the four large ships, and then asked people to load food and other things on the large ships to completely cover them. He also hid a small amount of things in the dozen or so fishing boats.

By the time all this was done, it was already dawn. Xiao Xiong asked Wang Yantai to lead everyone back.

The crew of the boat pulled the iron anchor from the shore and hung it on the bow of the boat, pulling out the penny inserted in the bow of the boat. The four sailboats slowly left the shore, and everyone waved goodbye to each other.

When the boat left the shore three or four feet away, Wang Yantai asked everyone to pull up the sails. Because the northwest wind was blowing on the lake, the wind puffed up the sails, and the boat could only walk diagonally on the lake in a zigzag shape and sail to the northeast of the lake.

When the four big boats were far away, Xiao Xiong assigned Jiang Yongming a task, asking him to wait for a few days, and then everyone would go together when the special team came down from Lushan. Jiang Yongming nodded hurriedly, saying that he would lead the water guerrillas to operate in this area, and anyway, he also had a radio station on his side, so he could contact them directly if he had something.

Xiao Xiong saw that Hu Maosheng seemed to want to speak and stopped, so he said to Hu Maosheng:

"Brother Hu, do you have anything else?"

Hu Maosheng looked at Xiao Xiong, coughed, cleared his throat and said:

"Commander Xiao, that's the case. Recently, our county's devil gendarmerie appointed a person named Liu Shuming as a puppet county magistrate, and also appointed a person named Cao Jimin as a puppet police chief. These two people are not good people in the first place, since we killed the two pseudo-county magistrates Wu Yinglin and Wu Yingqi last time, Xingzi has not appointed a new puppet official, this time I don't know if it was their own self-recommendation or the intention of the devils, so they used these two guys all at once. ”

"What bad things have they done since they took office?"

Xiao Xiong is a little interested in these two people.

"This Liu Shuming was not originally born and raised in Xingzi, their ancestral home was originally the Hakka people in Ganzhou. A few years ago, it seems that their ancestors came to Jiujiang from Ganzhou to do business, and later made a fortune, so they bought land and made a house on the side of the mushroom pond, and moved all the people from their hometown here. Slowly became famous in this area and formed its own sphere of influence. This Liu family was still more responsible at first, but later it became more and more domineering. Especially in Liu Shuming's generation, he bullied men and women in the township and did all kinds of evil. Originally, our guerrillas had long wanted to eradicate them, but the Liu family raised a group of villager thugs, and the village where the Liu family was located built the famous Hakka Wailong House, and watchtowers were built on the four corners of the house. At that time, our team was too small to gnaw this bone. Later, the devils came and wanted to engage in a united front, so they didn't pay attention to them anymore. ”

"So what's the reason for moving them now?"

Xiao Xiong felt that this matter was getting more and more interesting, so he continued to ask.

"Ahem, don't say it. After the devil came, the previous Liu Shuming also hooked up with the former pseudo county magistrate Wu Yinglin, and they were embarrassed, they used each other to make a fortune. But at that time, Liu Shuming had not yet taken refuge in the devil.

Later, Wu Yinglin was killed by us, and this guy felt that there was no one to fight with them in Xingzi, so he became even more unscrupulous. Bullying and dominating the market, taking advantage of the tricks, I don't know how many bad things have been done. Now, his family is already the largest family in Xingzi, and there are more than 100 people in the family alone. And well-armed, as well as a couple of small cannons.

Not long ago, in order to fight this big battle, the devil appointed him as a pseudo county magistrate. Now, the county's security team has actually become his family's nursing home, and their guns have more than 200 guns combined. ”

I can't imagine that when this country is in crisis, there will continue to be these people who do dogs and make a fortune. Xiao Xiong was very angry in his heart. He asked:

"What about that guy named Cao Jimin?"

"Not to mention him. This guy turned out to be from Jiangbei, and he was a wandering performer, but he did have some ability in his hands. Later, he was favored by Liu Shuming and recruited into his family and became the head coach of the family.

This guy eats, drinks, gambles, is lazy, and is a silver stick. The yellow flower girl in the four miles and eight towns has been ruined a lot by him. Now, as long as the daughters of the family are a little beautiful, the girls have not yet reached the age of marriage, so they will marry them early. This guy, since he was recommended by Liu Shuming as a pseudo police chief, is now almost soaked in the courtyard of Liuji. ”

Hu Maosheng said this, very sad and indignant:

"These two dogs, since they completely took refuge in the devils, have been even more unscrupulous in oppressing the people, desperately doing things for the devils, and doing bad things. We tried to get rid of them a few times, but we didn't succeed, and we even took the surnames of several brothers. The people of the whole county hate them to death, and they wish that the surname of these two dogs would be killed as soon as possible. ”

After listening to Hu Maosheng's introduction, Xiao Xiong already had a plan in his heart. As the saying goes, it's better to meet than please, and now that this matter has been touched by yourself, you must not stand idly by, and you must get rid of these two dogs for the people of Xingzi. He said to Hu Maoxian:

"Just tell me about their whereabouts and the situation of the Liu family's dragon house."

Hu Maosheng pointed to the fishing boat, and Xiao Xiong walked with him to Jiang Yongming's fishing boat. The two of them sat cross-legged on the bow of the boat, and Jiang Yongming made a pot of tea for the two of them. Hu Mao went on to say:

"This matter has to start from the time of the Qing Dynasty.

That year was supposed to be the first year of Emperor Yongzheng's accession to the throne. In order to solve the problem of tax evasion and tax evasion, the imperial court set up the Gutang branch of Jiujiang Banknote Pass on the wharf in Gutang, making it the only treaty port and commodity distribution center for Poyang Lake to enter the Yangtze River. Since then, this small wharf by Poyang Lake has suddenly raised its masts, and there has been a flock of businessmen, and it has become very lively.

But creation makes people, and the years will always make jokes for people.

It should be that after the British and French troops entered Yanjing, the foreign devils burned the Old Summer Palace in Yanjing. Under the coercion of Britain and France, the imperial court established the Jiujiang Customs, which replaced the original Jiujiang Banknote Customs. Later, the British forced the imperial court to place Gutang under the jurisdiction of Jiujiang Customs. In this way, the rolling silver flowed into the Gutang Customs, which was controlled by foreigners. Until 1938, [***] fought against Yue himself here, and the former prosperous Gutang was turned into ruins by the artillery fire of the devils.

It's a pity, back then, 'one of the four famous towns in Jiangxi', which was 'said to have thousands of people and ten thousand lights at night', how prosperous Gutang has become such a desolate appearance today.

The ancestors of Liu Shuming's family should have come here to make a fortune when the mushroom pond was prosperous, and later moved the entire family to the mushroom pond. ”

Xiao Xiong was stunned, and he couldn't imagine that the desolate town he hadn't noticed had been so prosperous.

Hu Maosheng took a sip of tea, and then said:

"The Liu family is a Hakka in southern Gannan, and their Weilong house was built according to the standards of the Hakka people in southern Gannan. Inside, there are ancestral halls, houses, and watchtowers for guards. Their wirling house is square, and the granite strips used for the exterior walls are made of lime and glutinous rice, which is very strong. It is at least three feet thick and three or four stories high.

The four corners of the house are framed with bunkers that protrude outwards and upwards. In order to eliminate the dead end, they cantilevered a single small pillbox on top of the bunker. The roof layer of the dragon is equipped with rows of gun holes and gun holes. The door walls are particularly thickened, the door frames are made of boulders, and the thick panel doors are covered with iron nails. There are many gates behind the plate door, and a heavy door is set up behind the gate.

The Wailong House around the Liu family is a natural pond, and there is only one temporary bridge connecting the house with the outside world, and there is a bunker at the head of the temporary bridge. In order to prevent the enemy from entering, they dug the pond deeper, and now at least one person is more than deep.

A well was dug in the courtyard of the Wai Long House, and many grain and grass storage rooms were built, which stored enough grain to eat for several years.

This kind of Weilong Tower, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, is simply a kingdom of reading, a small city. We failed several times because we simply could not get into such a strong place.

The two dog Han Jian usually work in the Weilong House, and never go to the county government axe. Even Cao Jimin set up the police station in a temple not far from the big house. Liu Shuming usually sends his subordinates to do everything. Cao Jimin didn't care about his subordinates, and went to the courtyard to mingle.

Hu Maoxian's words fascinated Xiao Xiong. Although he grew up in Jiujiang since he was a child, these things like what Hu Maosheng said were unheard of before. I suddenly felt that although I had read so many books, I was still a little lonely.

"Captain Hu, what do you think we should do now?"
