At the same time that the Huyan family held a family meeting, Jingyang Gang, which was fifty kilometers away from Li Zhuang, was also brightly lit. After two days of careful consideration, Ma Zheng decided not to hide anymore, firstly, because Shandong really needs a clear banner to ignite the people's belief in resisting Japan and trying to survive. It's good to make a fortune quietly, but it doesn't serve that purpose.
On the other hand, Yanggu County is still too small, and he has already pulled up five or six thousand people in a short period of time, which has reached the limit, and there will not be much gain if he pretends to be any longer.
In addition, the soldiers already know the true identity of their troops, and it will not be long before the news spreads to all the major forces in Yanggu County, including the Japanese. Rather than being debunked, it is better to show the sign decisively.
Hearing Ma Zheng's decision, Jingyang Gangshang was naturally boiling, and almost everyone shouted happily. In fact, the reason is very simple, who wants to be a bandit with a "bright future". No matter how powerful this bandit is, in the final analysis, he is still a bandit, and he will be exterminated after all.
If you are exterminated by the little devils, everyone may still say that it is a righteous bandit that is exterminated. But if they are exterminated by the government, then they will become a complete national scum family of shame, according to the custom of the Chinese, when bandits are killed are not allowed to be buried in ancestral graves.
Since he decided to fight hard against the Japanese army, then Ma Zheng has nothing to scruple about. Although the Shandong Independent Brigade claimed that it only had two infantry regiments, Ma Zheng knew that if he relied on this little force in his hands to fight hard with the little devils, it would not take him a month to lead the remnants to flee everywhere.
However, things are not all absolute, Ma Zheng believes that as long as he operates these more than 6,000 troops well, he will definitely be able to gain a foothold in Shandong, and even beat the prestige of the Eighth Route Army in Shandong in a short period of time.
Of course, Ma Zheng also knows where his weakness is now, so he is desperate to find an ally who can be useful to him. At the beginning, Ma Zheng was ready to cooperate with the troops of the Nationalist Government, after all, some troops of the First War Zone were stationed in Henan, and Yu Xuezhong's Sulu War Zone was stationed in the Lunan and Northern Jiangsu generations. But Ma Zheng's heart trembled at the thought of the catastrophe decades later, so he quickly dispelled this idea.
However, at this time, the mysterious force of the Huyan family appeared in front of Ma Zheng, but what Ma Zheng didn't expect was that in the face of the attack of the Japanese army, the Huyan family, who was coaxing on Luxi Road, actually became a turtle with a shrunken head, and all disappeared.
Of course, Ma Zheng didn't believe that thousands of people would suddenly evaporate from the world, and they must be watching the changes in the situation in a corner. This made Ma Zheng a little worried, judging from the attitude shown by the Huyan family, they still did not have the courage to go against the Japanese, in other words, their determination to resist Japan was not very resolute. Therefore, Ma Zheng decided to add fuel to the fire for them.
Because after the Japanese army entered Huyan Dazhai, Ma Zheng immediately sent a special combat team to poison a complete infantry squadron. The subsequent events in Huyan Dazhai were also done by Ma Zheng, the purpose of which was to blame the Huyan family and make them strengthen their confidence in resisting Japan, which was similar to the Eighth Route Army's forcing Jiang to resist Japan.
Although this trick is a bit detrimental, it is a good way to force the Huyan family to finally break with the Japanese army. However, Ma Zheng also knew that he couldn't force a big family like the Huyan family too hard, otherwise it would likely backfire and cause them to fall into the arms of the Japanese army.
Of course, Ma Zheng also knows that an ancient family like this will not be all straw bales, and they must have their means of survival if they can thrive in Luxi. He is not afraid of being seen through, an old-school force like the Huyan family has a background. You don't need to worry about them cooperating with the Japanese, people are old and fine, the reason why a big family can become a big family is that there must be a high-ranking person, and they can't throw the reputation of the family for hundreds or even thousands of years on the Japanese.
But if you think that they will take the initiative to join the anti-Japanese team, it is not very likely. If you don't force them, it will be very difficult for them to automatically embark on the road of resistance against Japan. Because of such an ancient family, their family has a big business, and there are too many things to consider, unlike those who are lonely and single, who can't survive or can't get used to seeing little devils running rampant and domineering in our land, these people may embark on the road of resistance against Japan because of a little stimulation.
Just as in history, it was often those poor people who overthrew the previous decadent dynasty, such as Liu Bang of the Han Dynasty and Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty. Why? Because these people have nothing to worry about, in Marx's theory, this kind of people are more revolutionary and more thorough.
On the other hand, big families like the Huyan family live a relatively comfortable life, and as long as the Japanese don't push them too much, they are likely to continue like this, and they will be obedient to the Japanese people.
However, once an ancient family like this embarks on the road of resistance against Japan, it will greatly increase the strength of the anti-Japanese team in an instant. Because they have a certain family heritage, which is not something that can be bought with money. This includes economic, military, and local relationships. This is just like during the Xinhai Revolution, when the governors and governors of many provinces and cities raised their arms and shouted that they wanted revolution, then the entire province would be recovered as soon as possible, which was the role of family and personal strength.
The Huyan family may not be a real big force in the entire Shandong region, but at least it is a top force in the Liaocheng area. So Ma Zheng didn't dare to slack off, and immediately thought of cooperating with them.
After careful planning, now the Japanese hate the Huyan family to the core, and the two sides will soon have a real hard work, and it is time for Ma Zheng, a fisherman, to profit.
As long as a consensus is reached with the Huyan family, then the Japanese will have a great right to speak in the Liaocheng area, even if Lieutenant General Odaka Kamizo wants to eliminate the two of them, it will not be completed in a short time, but as long as Ma Zheng is given a year and a half of respite, then Ma Zheng is confident that he will rebuild an anti-Japanese iron army, and then the Japanese army will no longer be so rampant in Shandong, and will even be completely driven out of Shandong.
Besides, now that the Japanese army has just suffered a defeat in northern Jin, the whole army is shrinking the defensive line, and the 12th Army is no exception. The Fifth Division under his command has withdrawn to Qingdao, and Lu Xi's garrison is not very large, and he is really powerless to deal with the anti-Japanese forces in the territory.
Even if the Japanese army really attacks Luxi on a large scale, he is not afraid, anyway, he is now a single person, he has no worries, and he can withdraw to southern Hebei or Lunan with these troops at any time, which is convenient for action.
Jingyanggang has changed a lot now, and when Ma Zheng's department first came, there were only three small broken temples in the entire Jingyanggang. But now, in addition to the three small ruined temples, there are many simple small tents and small grass huts. Due to the sudden influx of more than 5,000 soldiers, Ma Zheng's logistics and other things did not have time to keep up. Therefore, the living conditions of Ma Zheng's department have become very difficult, which is also a major driving force for Ma Zheng's outward development.
At this time, Ma Zheng, Xu Haifeng, Wang Dechuan, Xie Wensheng, Xu Weiguo, Liang Shangren, and others gathered together to study the combat meeting, which was also the first meeting of all officers after the unit went south to Shandong.
Ma Zheng looked at the people sitting beside him, and said in a firm tone: "Everyone has seen the situation, it is an opportunity and a challenge for us, and the devil has already targeted the Huyan family. The Huyan family is not vegetarian either, and a large number of family troops have also begun to assemble, and they have begun to gather towards Yanggu County, and the war can be said to be imminent. We can't stare in vain, it's not our style to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, so we also have to show off our muscles to the little devils. (To be continued.) )
