Chapter Ninety-Three: The Heroes Who Hug the Calves
Chapter Ninety-Three: The Heroes Who Hug the Calves
The weather in 1917 was much colder than later generations. Although it was already late February, the mountains of Keluxi were still icy and snowy. The deep mountains and dense forests around Baoqinggu have been blocked by heavy snow for two or three months. The world is white, but in this weather, there is still a team of people and horses, walking hard in the snow-covered mountain trails.
Walking in front were more than a dozen men with green cloth buns, wearing sheepskin jackets, riding tall horses, holding ten-ring shell guns in their hands, and carrying ghost-headed machetes behind them, looking murderous!
Five or six hundred steps behind these men are two hundred tall and strong Shandong men, all of whom are riding horses and carrying foreign guns, all of which are Japanese 38-style rifles! These men on horseback also formed two marching columns. And behind this team of horses, there are dozens of horses, but they are all women! The leader seems to be a mother and daughter, the mother is about thirty years old, with fair skin and a graceful figure, wearing a tight cotton jacket trimmed with white fox skin, a red cloak, and two blue shell guns on her waist! The daughter is dressed in a Western horse costume, and her figure is also exquisitely bumpy. A pair of large pigtails hung down behind him, and he also carried a shell gun at his waist, and a Western saber hung on the saddle. The woman's face was covered with a white veil, revealing only a pair of seductive eyes, and she was looking around vigilantly.
Hugging the calf is known as the head of the seventy-two Yimeng, at this time it is not a peaceful realm, but the largest bandit den in Shandong! Shandong bandits, including Mao Sizhong, Mao Siyu, Zhao Mama, and Liu Heiqi, have all set up old camps in the deep mountains and dense forests in this area!
And this mother and daughter are the famous bandit Mama Zhao and her eldest daughter Miss Zhao! Contrary to the most common "righteous bandits" in later film and television works, the vast majority of bandits in the Republic of China era were heinous murderers! This is no exception for the bandit mother and daughter...... If you don't lose your conscience, where will you get the gold and silver money to satisfy your gang of sturdy men who are accustomed to eating and not producing? The bandits who act chivalrous and do justice and rob the rich to help the poor are probably just the mouths of storytellers.
"Mother," Miss Zhao suddenly pulled the reins, rode her horse to her mother's side, leaned over, and said in a low voice: "Look at that pole in the name of the Red Brigade, who has the courage to poke a hole in the sky?" ”
Mama Zhao frowned and smiled wryly, her daughter seemed to be a little too interested in Zuo Min, and she didn't know if it was a blessing or a curse? She sighed, lowered her voice and said to her daughter: "No matter who it is, it is the hornet's nest, and the bottom line (black words refer to the secret agents of the bandits) came to report, saying that Duan Qirui has ordered the four provincial capitals to suppress!" Ermao summoned the shopkeepers of the calves to discuss this matter...... For the mother's estimation, the Mao family brothers will take the opportunity to propose a merge (merger). ”
"Combined? Think beautifully! Miss Zhao sneered: "I feel that this vote was made by the surname Mao...... He wanted to be cannon fodder for him, and he took the gold and flew away! As she spoke, a greedy look flashed in her eyes: "Two hundred and fifty thousand taels of gold...... If I can get a success, I won't wash my hands. ”
"Hmm, find a good man to marry, and live comfortably for the rest of your life?" Mama Zhao looked at her daughter with a smile.
"Then I have to go far, to Shanghai and Tianjin...... Can't let people know that I have carried a pole (black words, I have been a bandit), otherwise who will want me? "This Miss Zhao is a bandit after all! This cheek is really much thicker than that of ordinary women in this era!
"Hehehe...... No wonder my daughter wears a veil all day long, and she is afraid that her future uncle will recognize her! Mama Zhao chuckled for a while: "But with my daughter's appearance and figure, even if I am a pole, there are a lot of men rushing to ask for it!" ”
"Hmph," Miss Zhao flattened her mouth: "I still don't look down on them!" I'm not a hero and don't marry! ”
"Heroes?" Mama Zhao smiled: "I don't know who can be considered a hero in the eyes of my daughter?" ”
"Zuo Min, the big shopkeeper of the Red Brigade, is a big hero!" Miss Zhao's eyes flashed with spring light, and she muttered: "Since ancient times, how many people with poles dare to tie up the emperor?" I don't know how old this big left leader is this year? How does it look? Is there a ...... in the house?"
"Humph! What big hero? Big trouble! Mama Zhao said hatefully: "The soldiers of the four provinces are about to arrive!" Let's get past this first! ”
"Afraid of what?" Miss Zhao smiled indifferently: "It's not that the officers and soldiers haven't been here, where did they get cheap?" ”
"This time it's different!" Mama Zhao smiled bitterly: "This time there is a big prize of 250,000 taels of gold!" ”
As he was talking, he heard the bandit exploring the road in front of him roaring: "The big shopkeeper, the second shopkeeper, the rooftop shop has arrived!" ”
The mother and daughter of the Zhao family looked up and went forward, and saw a row of tall wooden fences at the end of the mountain road, the door of the wooden fence had been opened, and dozens of men wearing sheepskin jackets and carrying big guns had rushed out. Miss Zhao rode forward and shouted at those men: "I am Zhao Juan'er, my mother has arrived, let your big shopkeeper come out to greet you!" ”
……
Here, it is the nest of the largest bandits in Shandong, Mao Sizhong and Mao Siyu, a big bandit nest in the Baoqinggu Mountains, and the largest one among dozens of bandit nests in this area! Shandong's bandits have existed since ancient times, even in the peaceful and prosperous times, there are bandits entrenched in the area of Baoqianggu, and now in such troubled times, Baoqiangu has become a world of bandits! In this huge bandit lair, there are as many as two or three thousand well-armed men! And these forces are only part of the Mao family's gang.
The fireplace in the Hall of Justice was rising, and a fat sheep was roasting in the fire. Brave with an enticing aroma. The room was packed with people. The bandit leaders everywhere in the calf were already well-fed, drinking large bowls of wine, eating large pieces of meat, and still talking loudly.
"This surnamed Zuo doesn't know that it's the shopkeeper of the gate (referring to the bandits), and he actually stabbed such a big basket for us to hold the calf! If you want Lao Tzu to know who he is, you have to dismantle him! ”
"Grandma, I kidnapped the emperor Lao Tzu, and I have to extort 250,000 taels of gold, this surnamed Zuo is also a good man!"
"Hmph, it's just hiding your head and showing your tail, and you don't know where it came from?"
"Hey! Now is not the time to talk about it! The officers and soldiers of the four provinces are about to come to the door, and I see that the wind is very tight, so let's hurry up! ”
"? Where can you go? Leaving this calf, we are a tiger in Pingyang! When the time comes, I am afraid that it will be more dangerous, but I see that I still fight with them, and I don't believe that these officers and soldiers can help our brothers! ”
At this time, I heard a shout: "Mao Da shopkeeper, Zhao Da shopkeeper has arrived!" The hall suddenly fell silent, and the "big and small shopkeepers" in the mountains of the calf held the calf one after another, and saw a short and sturdy black-faced man walking in side by side with Mama Zhao, and the two of them hugged their fists and saluted a room of bandits while walking.
There are dozens of gangs holding calves, among which the most powerful are the Mao brothers, and the mother and daughter of the Zhao family are second (it can be seen that this bandit woman is also a ruthless character)! Today, there are two chairs in the middle of the righteous hall, Mao Sizhong sits on the top one, and Mama Zhao sits on the bottom. A room of bandits hugged their fists at the two of them and said loudly: "I've seen Mao Da shopkeeper, Zhao Da shopkeeper!" ”
Mao Sizhong laughed, and also clenched his fists and returned the salute: "Sizhong has met all the brothers." Mama Zhao also had beautiful eyes, and greeted the big guy with a smile. Mao Sizhong's eyes swept over the bandits, and shouted: "Today's brother invited the big guy to Tiantaifang, in fact, it is for a piece of wealth that splashes the sky!" A great fortune of 250,000 taels of gold! ”
