Chapter 473: Plotting Ma Dongyang (Asking for Subscription)
[Anti-Japanese Iron Blood King] Chapter 473: Planning Ma Dongyang (Ask for subscriptions, ask for monthly passes, ask for everything!) )
Wang Dechuan seems to be a person who is not good-looking, and he is remembered by people in the pile, but he is quite orderly in doing things, although when he went south to Shandong, his intelligence department only had more than 30 people, but after more than half a month of development, at this time it has basically taken root in several counties near Liaocheng. Although they have no access to real secrets for the time being, ordinary news cannot escape their eyes.
The information he sent this time was about Ma Dongyang's escort of money and grain for the Japanese army, and it was already late July, and according to the regulations of the Japanese army, summer grain taxes would be collected during this time.
The task of collecting taxes is generally carried out by the local puppet county magistrate and the chairman of the maintenance association, and then the collected grain and money will be escorted back to the county seat, and then the local garrison will be escorted to a higher administrative center.
In fact, Zhang Qiuzhen's taxes had been collected half a month ago, and some of them had been escorted to Yanggu County, but some of them were still left in Zhangqiu Town. According to the information collected by Wang Dechuan and others, in recent days, Ma Dongyang's plainclothes team will transport the remaining money and grain back to Yanggu County.
After receiving this information, Ma Zheng was very happy, this was indeed a good opportunity for the first brother to attack Ma Dongyang.
And the amount of this batch of money and grain is not too large, I heard that there are only less than 30,000 catties of grain and thousands of oceans, so the Japanese puppet army responsible for escorting the money and grain is not much, generally no more than a hundred people, with the strength of Ma Zheng's department, it is completely easy to eat this team.
Soon Ma Zheng made up his mind to intercept this Japanese puppet army, even if it wasn't for Ma Dongyang, the food alone was enough for Ma Zheng to make a move. After all, Ma Zheng's department didn't carry much food when they went south this time, and the troops were about to run out of food in the past few days.
The only thing that Ma Zheng is not very satisfied with is that according to the information collected by Wang Dechuan, Ma Dongyang usually does not personally escort money and grain, and the person responsible for transporting money and grain to the county is generally Yang Shanghu, the first thug under Ma Dongyang. This person is said to have been born in the Northwest Army, and later became a bandit, and was absorbed by Ma Dongyang two years ago, and then became Ma Dongyang's henchman.
Ma Zheng thought about it and decided to play a set of combination punches, he needed food and money, and he still wanted Ma Dongyang's head.
After careful planning, Ma Zheng decided to give Ma Dongyang a siege point to send reinforcements, and then he was ready to besiege Ma Dongyang's transport team first, forcing them to ask Ma Dongyang for help. When the time comes, we will concentrate our forces to defeat the reinforcements sent by Ma Dongyang, and after the remaining troops in the Ma family's mansion are transferred out, we will send a small force to kill Ma Dongyang, and the large army will go back and then pack up the transport team that acts as a bait.
For this battle, Ma Zheng didn't think there would be any accidents at all, and Ma Dongyang couldn't escape from his palm this time. On the one hand, Ma Zheng was extremely confident in the battle of his troops, on the other hand, because the enemy was too weak, Zhang Qiuzhen's Japanese puppet army added up to one or two hundred people, although the real Japanese army claimed to have a small team, but in fact there were only thirty people, so Ma Zheng did not think that this battle was very difficult to fight.
In addition, Zhangqiu Town is less than 20 kilometers away from Yanggu County, and the terrain in this area is relatively flat, except for Jingyanggang, which is three kilometers away, there are no more high mountains and dense forests. And although Jingyanggang is famous, the terrain is actually not too steep, at least compared to the mountains in the north, I still don't know the gap. Because of this, there have always been few large gangs in Yanggu County.
In addition, after the brutal sweep of the Japanese puppet army not long ago, except for a small number of Chinese routs hiding in Yanggu County, there is no complete national defense force, so Ma Dongyang would never have thought that anyone would pay attention to his tax money and grain.
In fact, it is true, just when Ma Zheng's department was planning to deal with Ma Dongyang and this batch of money and grain, Ma Dongyang was also arranging the transportation of money and grain.
The hottest figure in the entire Yanggu County at this time, Ma Dongyang thinks very highly of himself, especially after the death of Ma Dahu, Ma Dongyang feels that he has become the only heir of the Ma family in Luxi, so he acts quite high-profile.
However, this old guy also knows that there are no known number of people who want him to die now, so he usually does not leave the old mansion. As for escorting money and grain to the county seat this time, he decided to send only one brigade of spies to be responsible for escorting. In Ma Dongyang's view, although this batch of money and grain is Zhang Qiuzhen's summer tax, it is only one-tenth of the total, and its value is only 5,000 oceans.
With Ma Dongyang's family wealth, 5,000 oceans is just a drop in the bucket. Although Ma Dongyang is not a relative of the Ma family, after Ma Dahu's death, Ma Dongyang still annexed a lot of the Ma family's property, so his personal wealth skyrocketed, so he really put thousands of oceans of money and goods in his eyes.
Besides, after he Ma Dongyang served as the president of Zhang Qiuzhen's maintenance association, he began to find ways to make money. Although the Wang butcher in the town did not make a living, his wealth was also well-known in Zhang Qiu Town, so Ma Dongyang tried to give the Wang butcher's family a charge of collusion, so that the Japanese slaughtered the Wang family.
Although the Huang family in the town is not a rich and noble family, but there is a priceless Xuande furnace at home, at this time somehow Ma Dongyang knew, forcing the Huang family to hand over the Xuande furnace, otherwise he would send the youngest daughter of the Liu family to the county seat to comfort the imperial army. The arm can't twist the thigh, and the Huang family is also a wealthy family in Zhang Qiuzhen, but it is still a little worse than the "high-powered" Ma Dongyang, and in the end he reluctantly handed over the Xuande furnace. Otherwise, it was really possible for that brute to give the little daughter of the Huang family, who was only fourteen years old, but was already slim, to the Japanese for waste, anyway, he did not do less.
After unscrupulous snatching, Ma Dongyang's wealth at this time has reached an astonishing level, so although five thousand oceans is an astronomical amount in the eyes of others, it is just a small plate in the Tang Dynasty or a big bottle in the Ming Dynasty in his eyes.
At eight o'clock in the morning of July 26, the sturdy iron-clad wooden gate of the Ma family's mansion in Zhang Qiu Town suddenly opened with a "creak", and I saw Ma Qing, the chief housekeeper of the Ma Mansion who was dressed like a dog, walked out with two shell guns on his shoulder, and loudly scolded several townspeople in the town who turned to look at each other not far away, and then commanded the big and small traitor spies under the command of Ma Dongyang to drive out the carriage full of grain and the ocean, and rushed towards Yanggu County under the escort of more than 100 traitor spies.
As soon as Ma Qing and the others came out of Zhang Qiuzhen, Ma Zheng on Jingyang Gang received the news. Due to the limited manpower, Ma Zheng also participated in this operation, after all, the scoop handles were personally led by the bandits when they robbed.
After strict deployment, Ma Zheng ambushed more than 60 special combat personnel in Shizhuang Village, 12 kilometers north of Zhangqiu Town, while Xie Wensheng led the remaining troops to ambush Shilijing Village, which was only seven or eight miles away from Shizhuang Village.
According to the plan, when the convoy escorted by Ma Qing and others passed by Shilijing Village, Xie Wensheng and the others did not open fire and let the convoy pass. When Ma Qing and the others arrived in Shizhuang Village, Ma Zheng led more than 60 special combat team members to catch Ma Qing and the others by surprise, forcing Ma Qing to ask Ma Dongyang for help.
When Ma Dongyang's reinforcements passed through Shilijing Village, Xie Wensheng commanded the troops to wipe out Ma Dongyang's reinforcements on the spot. At the same time, Xu Haifeng led a special operations team to infiltrate Zhang Qiu Town in advance, and after the Japanese puppet troops in the town were all transferred, he rushed into Ma's house in one fell swoop and killed Ma Dongyang, the old traitor. Then all the troops immediately turned back to Zhangqiu Town, robbed all the people's fat and ointment looted by Ma Dongyang's family, and by the way, beat the banner of Jingyanggang.
After the battle plan was determined, the troops immediately moved, and soon the entire Jingyanggang Cottage was soon left with an empty city, except for a few people left behind, the rest quickly went down the mountain. (To be continued.) )
