The bandits in Xiangxi in history are divided into two categories: one is that they were severely attacked by our party and our army, in fact, this kind of bandit is really not a bandit in the traditional sense, but a pole army that followed Zeng Guofan to suppress the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in the late Qing Dynasty. However, in view of the fact that these phoenix military households do not understand current affairs and stand on the wrong political position, they are bandits. The other type is the real bandits, but most of the real bandits are composed of good people, to be precise, the local residents, who rely on the mountains to eat the mountains and the water. It is reasonable to collect some protection money for guarding the tea horse road, so often in a village, men are doing this very lucrative part-time job. And this craft can also be passed from father to son, and from son to grandchild. Therefore, Wang Zhenyu's political reform has two key points, one is the distribution of profits in commercial towns, the purpose of which is to change the village from the shili that destroys the trade road to the shili that protects the trade road. Weishenme before these people are going to rob it? It's because he looks at this road of wealth but has no share at all, and now it's okay, everyone has a share, everyone is pointing to continue to do business, or do you want the business to be more stable and prosperous, and make a fortune together?

In fact, the bandits in Xiangxi were not very powerful, and the goods of the Hongshang were all out of the association, and they set off in the morning, and at noon, the rear team was still in Hongjiang and did not leave the city. Encountering such a large caravan, and also carrying self-defense weapons such as knives and guns, which bandit can be so fierce that he is not afraid of death to rob.

Fighting will cause damage, but now it is different, there is no need to fight, there are all tickets, and the idle laborers in the village have a place to go to sell their strength. If you go to be bandits again, it will be unscientific and anti-human.

In fact, before Wang Zhenyu's reform, Shili's larger bandit gangs were already transforming in this direction. Often, many merchant gangs will pay a lot of tolls through the Chinese, change a few flags, and then calmly cross the road, and the bandits are also very trustworthy. Often the neck of the wind is stretched forward, take a closer look, shout, this car is planted with the flag of our king, yes, don't do it, call it a day.

Huang Jianxiong is such a Chinese character, and he has been dealing with these bandits for more than ten years.

Huang Jianxiong figured it out, Wendou is not Wang Zhenyu's opponent, so he naturally has to play the martial arts he is good at. The key to martial arts is to have enough strength, and these bandits are the key, so he quietly left Jingzhou to meet those friends from the three mountains and five mountains.

It just so happens that these friends have been depressed lately, what about weishenme? It was also because of Wang Zhenyu's political reforms.

As mentioned earlier, after the political reform, the big cake of business has been enlarged, and the villages of the whole county have the hope of getting a piece of it. Therefore, amateur players who have a close relationship with these professional bandits have chosen to wash their hands in the golden basin. Not only did they no longer provide the caravan's information in time, but they even clearly informed the other party that in our territory in the future, it was best for you not to show your head, lest everyone not talk about friendship and hurt the peace.

This can make a group of mountain kings angry, these are all gods! Cut him.

The person Huang Jianxiong is looking for is named Yang Shouyin, the bandit is called the Earth Dragon, he is in his early fifties, he is thin, but he is also very energetic, but his reputation is very average. Just look at this bandit, the meaning of the dragon is to run fast, but this bandit is not playing poker after all, you run fast not only can't win, but also have to be laughed at.

But it's not completely unbeneficial, the bandits of the same era are the ones who survived. So he is also an old-timer in the rivers and lakes, and Huang Jianxiong chose to find him, hoping to use his status in the rivers and lakes to entangle as many people as possible, so that he can be more sure......

Yang Shouyin, who had gray hair and beard, also noticed the recent wind direction and knew that if Wang Zhenyu, a dragon who crossed the river, was really allowed to gain a firm foothold in Jingzhou Mansion, the brothers' jobs would definitely have to be smashed, and there would be no second way to choose except to go back to farming. But when it comes to business, it's all about methods. "Brother Huang, you are asking the old man to kill the official and rebel, even if he thinks of our friendship for the New Year, the old man is willing to agree, and the brothers under this hand may not be willing to go." Yang Shouyin was very subtle, but he clearly told Huang Jianxiong that he would take the benefits, otherwise everything would not be discussed.

Huang Jianxiong didn't understand this routine, he smiled and said: "Your old prestige is not a hundred responses." And when the time comes, my brother and I will be in the city to deal with it, why worry about the big thing? Of course, such a big matter could not allow the brothers to exert their efforts in vain. I don't dare to promise anything else, after entering the city, I will rob for three days, and the treasury will belong to Brother Yang. And in the future, if Jingzhou is the brother's main business, it will be the territory of the family, and if there is something, they will greet them. In addition, although Huang has no money to spare, he and his colleagues have collected 100,000 oceans, which can be regarded as thanking the brothers in advance. Yang Shouyin really saw the money, and immediately said happily: "Brother Huang is really a cheerful person, then it will be decided, and the specific attack date will wait for me to gather the bosses of all walks of life to think about it." How is it? ”

Huang Jianxiong was immediately overjoyed, and replied: "But it's up to the eldest brother to arrange ......."

Huang Jianxiong is also a character, not only a bandit, but he also found a divine soldier, the so-called divine soldier, and also a shili in Xiangxi. Some people who believe in Taoism believe that they can be invulnerable after drinking Fu Shui, so they have joined the armies to which Taoist organizations belong, and these armies are divine soldiers. It is by virtue of the divine soldiers that Taoism has gradually become the mainstream religion in Xiangxi. It's a pity that under the cloak of religion is still greedy and shameless, so Huang Jianxiong borrowed 3,000 divine soldiers very easily.

All of a sudden, the small capital city of Jingzhou gathered in all directions, and the world was unpredictable......

Wang Zhenyu didn't know that he had been calculated, he had been very busy in the past week, busy running around the four counties, where the council opened, our Commander Wang appeared. The essence is to run to cheer people on, take a photo with the newly elected county magistrate for a meal, congratulate and drive the next one.

For a week, Wang Zhenyu ran through the counties under his control, and at the same time, he was very dissatisfied with the construction of the county towns under his rule.

The city is small, it doesn't matter, the population is small, I don't care, but you have to pay attention to basic drainage and hygiene; Medical care, education you have to have a complete set of it. Otherwise, living in the countryside and living in the city are the same as birds, why should others live in the city!

When Wang Zhenyu and Chen Hongji, who accompanied him, talked about this issue, they also pointed out: "When urban construction needs to be planned, the spirit may be larger, the road surface can be widened, the number of beds in the ward may be larger, and the scale of the school may be larger; Drainage and sewage are separated if there are conditions, don't have a small mud ditch, everything is discharged into it, and no one will clean it up when it is blocked, and all diseases will emerge when the weather is hot. ”

The accompanying county magistrate and councillor were stunned by Wang Zhenyu's words. Obviously, the experience of this Commander Wang, who plays with guns, in urban construction is far higher than that of those who claim to be proficient in making a living.

Back in Jingzhou, it was already mid-May, and the weather was starting to get hotter. Ma Xicheng, who was in charge of the supply of munitions, suddenly asked to see him, Wang Zhenyu knew this cousin's temperament very well, and knew that since this person in charge of munitions, if there was no major emergency, he would definitely not come to him.

Surprised, Wang Zhenyu immediately summoned Ma Xicheng.

"Commander, someone is going to murder you" Ma Xicheng's first sentence stunned Wang Zhenyu and his friends.

It turned out that when Ma Xicheng was purchasing supplies, he got a shocking news from a businessman who had been supplying military supplies for a long time. The bandit leaders in the Hunan and Guizhou areas are now in tandem, and it is said that a leader named Yang Shouyin wants to work together to take the county seat of Jingzhou. Although the news is unconfirmed, the businessmen who have a wide range of contacts have received a little bit of rumors.

Ma Xicheng's gossip immediately aroused Wang Zhenyu's great attention, and from the beginning of this political reform, Wang Zhenyu estimated that there would definitely be people with extreme personalities who would choose to take risks after losing their interests. And according to the analysis of this news, some people are already doing this, and they have also chosen the most dangerous path and colluded with bandits.

After the wolf extermination operation, Li Zongren took over as the acting captain of the teaching team, and Song Haomin served as Wang Zhenyu's major adjutant. After Wang Zhenyu thought about it for a while, he called Song Haomin in and asked him to invite Zhao Dongsheng and Liu Xing. Originally, among his subordinates, He Jian was the most suitable person to deal with the conspiracy, but this old boy was sent to Hongjiang to lurk and was not around. So he thought about it and called Liu Xing, who had no specific errands yet.

It has been more than a month since Liu Xing arrived in the Tiger Brigade, and because of the complexity of everything, Wang Zhenyu didn't bother to arrange errands. However, Liu Xing can see it, after all, he is a person who has escaped death, and he is much more open-minded than ordinary people in many things. Therefore, although he has no specific errands, he can lead the staff position, and with the rank of major, he will go to Yang Wangui's brigade staff headquarters every day to report. After a long time, Yang Wangui also noticed him and began to consciously arrange some work for him, including the training, attendance, equipment and other aspects of the work of various combat units. To Yang Wangui's surprise, Liu Xing handled these tasks very handily, not only thoughtfully, but also many of his ideas were also very special. Therefore, when Yang Wangui reported to Wang Zhenyu last night, he mentioned this person, and Wang Zhenyu paid attention to it at that time.

After listening to Ma Xicheng's retelling, Liu Xing didn't say much, but said softly to Wang Zhenyu: "If the brigade commander wants to severely damage these bandits, our ninth brigade will be more than enough; But if you want to be annihilated, I have someone here to recommend to you, Zhou Bin. ”

This is the second time Wang Zhenyu has heard Liu Xing mention this name, and the last time was when he first met Liu Xing in his hometown.

Where is Zhou Bin now? In the army, Zhou Bin, who was wanted by the provincial governor's office like Liu Xing, asked Liu Xing to deceive him into a letter to Jingzhou, and the result was even more annoying than Liu Xing. is also because he can't see Wang Zhenyu, Liu Xing still has an idle job to eat. Our Zhou Wei doesn't even have an official body, and he depends on Liu Xing for food and housing, but he is going to commit a crime now, and he has nowhere else to go, so he lives in Jingzhou with peace of mind.

An hour later, Wang Zhenyu picked up a classmate with a righteous face in the headquarters, this person is of medium stature, with bright eyes, a slightly thick lower lip, and blessed ears.

is just such a person, who is praised by Liu Xing as good at strategy. This can't help but make Wang Zhenyu very curious.

Soon, Wang Zhenyu believed Liu Xing's recommendation.
