Chapter Seventy-Two: The Changlong Dart Game

(New books for recommendation, collection!) The support of my friends is my biggest motivation! Please, please, and thank you very much! )

After three months of intensive training, the soldiers made great progress as a whole, and during the first Spring Festival after Zhang Renjie came to this world, he did not have a good time, and the whole Renzi battalion had only four days off for the New Year, and returned to the army immediately after the holiday, in fact, in addition to the time spent on the road, he stayed at home for more than a day.

Before the Spring Festival, except for Sanlian, who had been staying in Zhangjiazhuang, the shortest of the others did not return home for four months. Previously, the third company had been staying in Zhangjiazhuang, and the hundred and ten people of the third company were all from the wharf town and the surrounding towns, which were very close to home, and they could go home every once in a while in the past few months, and then rush back to the village early in the morning for training. But the soldiers on Anton's side are different, after months of training, plus a trip to Funing, the door has not passed, and the Spring Festival must be reunited.

After the festival, the Renzi camp once again devoted itself to fulfilling training. Just when the training plan was about to be completed, Zhang Renjie sent the members of the independent reconnaissance squad out in advance, and the focus of the next stage of work will once again change to ---- and suppress bandits. During this time, Zhang Renjie also sent someone to find out the information of the remaining two bandits, Taoyuan Meng Laohu is indeed a righteous bandit and never harms the people, but Yancheng is the same as the Sea Dragon King and the old hammer, doing all kinds of evil, Zhang Renjie made up his mind to eradicate the evil, and the other one is best to be co-opted.

The soldiers of the reconnaissance squad dispersed and entered Yancheng from various directions, pretending to be merchants, beggars, and traveling doctors, etc., penetrating into the county towns and towns of Yancheng, openly and secretly inquiring about the news of the overturning of the world. According to what had been agreed before, Hua Liangfu also took people to Taoyuan County in the northwest. After a few days of preparation, Zhang Renjie personally led people to Yancheng County. The Heaven Turning Jiao is indeed not to be underestimated, although the banner has not been played for as long as the Sea Dragon King, but because half of it eats sea flour rice, its subordinates are more brave than the Sea Dragon King and the old hammer head.

However, the attack on the overturning Jiao did not do its best, and the overturning Jiao in the nest was killed by Zhang Renjie himself, but his younger brother escaped from the sea by boat with a small group of bandits, Zhang Renjie couldn't catch up, and could only sigh. simply turned the sky upside down and died, and there were less than ten people who escaped, and the rest couldn't make any waves.

Due to thorough preparations, after a surprise attack, only six of the eighty soldiers of the Renzi battalion were wounded, and none of them were killed. More than 500 stone of grain were seized, and gold and silver goods were equivalent to about 600,000 taels of silver. Zhang Renjie was surprised by so many seizures, and after carefully interrogating the prisoners, he learned that the reason why the Tianjiao could have so many accumulations was because it had something to do with the Huainan Salt Works.

Why Yancheng County is called Yancheng is naturally because of the salt side of this property, so it is named Yancheng. Many government-run salt factories in coastal areas produce a large amount of sea salt every day, and of course, in addition to the government-run salt works, there are countless people who cook salt privately. Most of the salt comes from government-run salt farms, and a small amount of salt is collected from the common people, who then resell a large amount of private salt to the mainland. Due to the short time, the soldiers of the reconnaissance squad also failed to detect this important news, Zhang Renjie led the troops to exterminate the Tianjiao, although it was a great success, but at the same time it must have offended people.

Since ancient times, the salt works have been concentrated in wealth, and the two Huai salt fields involve all aspects of interests. The Tianjiao is nominally a bandit, but the matter here must be very complicated, this pool is very deep, but he suddenly inserted it without knowing the situation, and the officials who are connected with the Tianjiao will retaliate against him. But the matter has come to this, he can no longer bring the dead back to life, since he has no intention of offending, then he will be offended, anyway, he will go to Taiwan in a few months, and then they will want to find their own trouble, which is beyond the reach of the whip. However, in addition to seizing a lot of goods and goods, this trip also had another gain from unintentionally offending people.

"Brother Zuo, this is your lost dart! Most of the boxes have not been opened, and now they are returned to their original owners! Zhang Renjie said to Zuo Bingxin with a smile. Zuo Bingxin and Zhang Renjie don't know each other if they don't fight, the Renzi Battalion took off the nest of the Turning Heaven Jiao, and only after cleaning the battlefield did Zuo Bingxin lead a team of good hands to rush in, treating the soldiers of the Renzi Battalion as a group of Turning the Sky Jiao, and it was a scuffle when they came up. Fortunately, Zuo Bingxin and his entourage only hurt people and did not kill people, and they were dressed as dart masters, so Zhang Renjie also ordered the soldiers of the Renzi Battalion not to shoot.

In the end, Zhang Renjie was very surprised, there were 80 people on his side, but they were not the opponents of the 20 people on the opposite side, and they were beaten and retreated. Zhang Renjie itched his skills and rushed forward to fight with the leading Zuo Bingxin, and as soon as they got started, they both knew that they had met a master. Although Zhang Renjie's Yiquan is not said to be perfect, he has already entered the room, and Zuo Bingxin's continuous palms and ten-way elastic legs also made Zhang Renjie suffer enough, and the two fought for a quarter of an hour, but they couldn't tell the winner. The soldiers of the Renzi battalion fought with the other nineteen dart masters of the Zuo family, and finally relied on the numerical advantage to defeat both sides, and most of them lay on the ground and hummed.

After all, it was just a misunderstanding, and the two jumped out of the circle after a quarter of an hour before reporting each other's names. But at this moment, there are less than thirty people who can stand on the other side, most of them are soldiers of the Renzi Battalion, and the other two are the dart masters of the Zuo family.

Zuo Bingxin, the contemporary head of Suzhou Changlong Dart Bureau, his grandfather is the founder of the famous Changlong Dart Bureau, known as the "second left" Zuo Changde, but Zuo Changde has passed away six years ago. Although Zuo Changde is gone, his prestige is still resounding all over the country, and his body is famous for his continuous palms, ten-way elastic legs and big spearmanship, and the name of the three heroes of North China can be blown out a lot.

In the twenty-fourth year of Daoguang, that is, in 1844, Zuo Changde escorted the "Seven Birds" embroidered by the famous Suzhou embroiderer Lu to Beijing to the governor of Suzhou. This is the only ----one in the scorpion poop in the dart game, so the name of the Changlong dart game has also resounded all over the world. It is said that when Emperor Daoguang awarded him the dart flag, the flag handle was facing downward, and Zuo Changde caught it easily, not daring to turn the flag upside down again. In order to commemorate this event, the dart flag of the left family in the future is the flag spear upside down on the dart car, therefore, people look at the dart flag upside down from afar, they know that it is the dart car of the Changlong dart bureau.

Zuo Bingxin is Zuo Changde's grandson, and he has the true inheritance, and the two people still standing on the other side are called Xu Renzheng is Zuo Changde's apprentice, and his seniority is higher than Zuo Bingxin. The other is named Zhang Jiacheng, who is the apprentice of Xu Renzheng, and he is the dart master of the Changlong Dart Bureau. The dart of the Changlong Dart Bureau is the furniture hauled by the county order of Wuxian County, Suzhou, and Zhang Jiacheng is responsible for the escort. I don't know what kind of dart bureau was escorted, but it had to be sent to the destination Haizhou, which was later Lianyungang.

Originally, this trip was by water, and I was going to stop the boat in Qingjiangpu and go directly to Haizhou County by land, but in Baoying County, which is more than 100 miles away from Qingjiangpu, I happened to meet a gang of people who came back from selling illicit salt. Adhering to the rule that thieves do not go empty, relying on the large number of people, robbed the dart of the Changlong Dart Bureau. Zhang Jiacheng took the dart master to fight with the people who turned the sky upside down, but he suffered a loss in weapons and had to escape.

Although the prestige of the Changlong Dart Bureau has decreased a lot since the death of the old man Zuo Changde, no bandit has dared to blatantly rob their goods until now. Zuo Bingxin got the report, and took the dart game master day and night, and in only three days, he pounced on the lair of the overturning Jiao. After betting on darts for many years, Zuo Bingxin and Xu Renzheng are both old rivers and lakes, and they know very well the famous bandits in the north and south of the river. It's not difficult to find the nest of the overturning Jiao, and they are not scared of the overturning Jiao himself, they haven't heard of how good the upside-turning Jiao is, but the bandits have guns in their hands to be careful.

But Zuo Bingxin didn't expect that after coming in, he was inexplicably surrounded and attacked, and the other party was not a sky-turner, but his kung fu was not under him, if the two of them didn't take the initiative to stop, they would have to lose both.

"Thank you, Brother Xian, although Brother Fool is sure to recapture this dart, but no matter what, some brothers will be killed and injured. It's a peace of mind! "The fallen dart master of the Changlong Dart Bureau and the fallen soldiers of the Renzi Battalion were all carrying medicinal wine on their bodies in the compound, and a small number of uninjured continued to guard the periphery. Zhang Renjie and Zuo Bingxin are very close to each other, maybe this is the straightforward character of the martial artist, and after a while, they began to call them brothers. "But hey, don't say it!"

Zhang Renjie looked at Zuo Bingxin's tangled appearance, and he could roughly guess what was going on: "Brother Zuo is worried that this incident will fall into the reputation of Changlong Dart Bureau?" ”

"Brother Xian also understands that the most important thing in our dart game is reputation, and if we lose the dart and fail to find it, we will smash the signboard."

"But isn't this dart here? Oh, I see! Speaking of this, Zhang Renjie understood what Zuo Bingxin wanted to express. The dart game was robbed, and it must be retrieved by yourself or invited friends from the same way to help find it, but it can't be retrieved with the help of the government, otherwise this dart game will not be able to mix in the rivers and lakes in the future. "It's easy to do! I will preach to the outside world that when my Renzi battalion arrived, the Changlong Dart Bureau had already put an end to the nest of the overturned Jiao, hehe, we picked up a ready-made big bargain! In this way, Brother Zuo doesn't have to worry anymore! ”

"This" Zuo Bingxin was very entangled in his heart, and agreed, this thing is too unfair, and if he doesn't agree, it will damage the reputation of the dart game.

Zhang Renjie smiled and said: "Brother Zuo, it's decided, my Renzi Battalion has its own military regulations, and I will never reveal a trace of tone." ”
