The rendezvous with Tian Shubang made it possible for the Bailing detachment to make a clear layout.

In a mountain village on the right bank of the Juliu River called the Wei family's shack, Lu Shan summoned members of the Military and Political Committee and Tian and Wang to study the detachment's actions.

Most of the six committee members knew Wang Yuechan, and they reunited in Kanto, of course, they made jokes about Wang Yuechan and Tian Shubang. No one in this knew that Wang Yuechan had already come to Fengtian and became a relative of Hetian Shubang.

"Jiang Yun's kid's mouth is really tight. Otherwise, you have to bring a generous gift. "Fan Deping once worked in the staff office, in a compound, and he is very familiar with Wang Yuechan.

"It's not too late now," Wang Yuechan is a person who has come over, without shyness, she has just asked about the situation in her hometown, and she is excited about the rapid expansion of the army, "You are almost married, it is said that I and Lao Tian should both say, but no, I and Lao Tian are short of money." ”

This is a fact, it is inconvenient to remit money in Kannai, and the money I brought before has already been spent on the establishment of a cover business.

"I've got the money for you." Lu Shan smiled and said, "Let's get down to business." Lao Tian, did you first introduce the situation in western Liaoning? ”

"Done." Tian Shubang reported on the investigation during this time, "Commander Lu, if you make a fuss in Yushu Town, it won't take long for this area to know everything." It's good to have a decision. ”

"Yes. The task of the detachment is very heavy," Lu Shan muttered, "Lao Tian, you have done a good job here, I will ask the commander for credit for you." One step at a time, of course. You have to have a place to stay. Moreover, the second group of personnel sent by the hometown will arrive soon. So. Everything has to be fast. ”

The primary task of the Bailing detachment is to first stand on its feet, that is, to establish a base area first. However, the actual situation in western Liaoning is that the larger villages and towns cannot gain a foothold, and the remote mountain villages are safe, but they cannot feed the troops. Seeing that winter is coming, we must first have a foothold.

"Kanto beards are all bullying the weak and afraid of the hard. Including the government. Elm Town cleaned up the golden-eyed eagle, but I'm afraid it's not enough, because the golden-eyed eagle is also a person who is hunted down by the government. It was said that he ran to the north before, and it is estimated that he came back because he couldn't stand, and I think Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Jinghui will not let him go. If you want to establish Liaoxi. I'm afraid I have to find someone who is angry. A strong beard can be used to open the knife. Wang Yuecian said.

"Mrs. Sister-in-law is knowledgeable!" Lu Shan gave a thumbs up and boasted.

"There is a man named Du Lisan in Liao, who has a great reputation in the area of Jiafang Town, and there are thirty or forty people under him, so I suggest getting rid of this beard." Tian Shubang said.

"Hmm. Then you can talk about this Du Lisan. This person. It can't be Du Sanli's brother, right? Deng Qinghua said with a smile.

Everyone laughed too. "The commander didn't send Lao Du over, otherwise, he could let Lao Du go to find his brother's bad luck."

Du Lisan is a native of Liaozhong County and a native of Yujiafang Town. Very young, only in his twenties this year. But it is very famous in the western Liaoning area. He belongs to the category of sons inheriting their father's business, his father is bearded, and his three uncles are also bearded. At that time, his third uncle was arrested by the government, but he couldn't survive the punishment, and found out his father's whereabouts, so his father was captured by the government and beheaded. After learning of the root cause, he led two of his subordinates to kidnap his third uncle, father and son, so he made a name for himself on Green Forest Road. This person is not only black-hearted, but also plagues the township, not to mention the passing ships in the Liaohe Mountains to collect tolls, but also fishing, and has several aunts and wives at a young age. It's just that Ming Media is marrying, he doesn't, whoever he likes is whoever, and even snatched the bride who married someone else home and became his aunt's wife. There was great anger among the local people.

After listening to Tian Shubang's introduction, Sheng Guang said with a smile, "This kid can toss, and he is not shallow." ”

"Commander Lu," Tian Shubang muttered, "It's better for the detachment to go south than to the north." I know Jilin, and the government is much weaker. The situation in Mukden is complicated, the imperial court does not say, the strength of the Russians and the Japanese is entangled in it, is it appropriate for us to go south? He hoped that the detachment would go north to Jilin, and it would be better to return to both sides of the Hunhe River, both public and private.

Lu Shan thought for a while, "First, my name is Lu Dashan now." Several of them have also changed their names. For a long time, our relationship with Shandong was top secret. You two must know this. Second, the detachment could only go south, and the strategic direction of the detachment's development was repeatedly studied and decided during the period of the homeland. The commander judged that there would be a war between Japan and Russia. It won't be very late, maybe it won't be until the New Year, and the war will start. Chaos is a good thing, and only when there is chaos can we fish in troubled waters. It's okay to march to Liaozhong first," Lu Shan meditated on the geography of Liaoxi, he put a lot of effort into this, and the larger towns were imprinted in his mind, "Leave a detachment here to pick up the second batch of arriving personnel, Deping and Qinghua are in charge, Wang Yuechan stays, Lao Tian, you come with me, let's go south to Liaozhong, and go to clean up this Du Sanli!" ”

"Wrong, it's Du Lisan." Wang Yuecian corrected.

"Yes, yes, it's Du Lisan." Lu Shan smiled, "Let's discuss how to act." I pondered that we must be fast, we can't wait, the relationship between the government and the beards is not clear, for the time being, we don't want to have a direct conflict with the government. ”

Tian Shubang didn't laugh. He was pondering what Lu Shan had just said. After seeing the main leaders of the detachment, Tian Shubang was surprised, because these people here are all generals under the commander's seat. From this point of view, the formation of the Bailing detachment to march into the Kanto region is by no means like a petty fight. What's more, a second group of people arrived. The intention of the Bailing detachment to march into the Kanto region, he did not know anything about it now. If it is to expand the territory, it seems a little unwise to be separated by a hostile Zhili. But Long Qian has always acted unpredictable, and Tian Shubang has long admired it.

"If the commander judges, the Japanese and Lao Maozi will fight. It's not good for us to provoke ...... on both sides."

"Yes. The intention of the commander was that we would help the Russians in the first phase. "Lu Shan doesn't need to hide it from Tian Shubang.

"The Russians have occupied Manchuria for more than three years and have done countless bad things. The people of Kanto hate it to the core. I bet that if the Japanese sent troops to drive out Lao Maozi, they would definitely get the support of the people of Kwantung. Let's help Lao Maozi fight the Orientals, isn't it ......" Wang Yue is fast-talking. Tian Shubang's worries were directly said.

"The Japanese are not a good thing either. Do you think they're helping us get rid of Lao Maozi? The detachment's program of action has been repeatedly studied in Shandong, and Fan Deping has participated in it from beginning to end, "What's more, we are developing ourselves by the hands of Lao Maozi." At least, we have to rely on one side, otherwise we will not be able to solve the supply logistics of the troops. ”

"This is the strategy determined by the commander. We execute it. Lu Shan was reluctant to discuss this issue anymore.

"Yes. That's a good fit. This Du Lisan once beat Lao Maozi, and it is said that Lao Maozi hated him very much. Always wanted to catch this guy. Let's kill Du Lisan, but it will attract the attention of Lao Maozi. Because of Liaonan's beard. There aren't many people who are looking for the old hairy......"

"Good. That's it! ”

So after half a day of discussion, Tian Shubang took Jiang Cunxian, Xu Gongzhi and several others to reconnoiter in disguise, and Liu Xiaomao naturally followed Tian Shubang. Wang Yuechan, Deng Qinghua, and Fan Deping took Mo Xinwei's detachment back to the west. Returning to Xinmin to Fuxin, the second group of people should be indirectly responded. Lu Shan took the rest of the men and horses to follow Tian Shubang for half a day. Quietly move south.

This is about to break up with Zhao Hongsheng's horse gang. Originally, the agreed end point was Mukden. Now that the contract is terminated early, Lu Shan still paid enough wages according to the price agreed before, and said a bunch of words of thanks to Lao Zhaotou. Lao Zhao Tou is naturally grateful.

Unexpectedly, there were three young men in the caravan who were willing to follow the detachment. Ask for it. Lao Zhao was embarrassed, but there was no way. So those three youths became the first members of the detachment to enter the Kanto region for recruitment.

Now it is too late to transmit back all the arrivals of the detachment in Kanto through the intelligence station. The Bailing detachment went south on the same day and began their first battle to dominate the Kanto region.

Liaozhong is in Jiafang Town. On that day, Du Lisan was receiving his Oriental friend. In the Japanese Army, Captain Fujita, who was known as a China expert and had a close friendship with Yuan Shikai, the governor of Zhili, and who was responsible for liaising with Manchurian Beard and preparing for guerrilla warfare for the upcoming Russo-Japanese War, came to his house for the second time to persuade Du Lisan to join the "Kwantung Volunteer Army," which had not yet been officially raised. Du Lisan was still cunning as usual, and first asked Fujita to send the promised 100 Type 30 rifles and 3,000 rounds of ammunition. There is no problem with beating Lao Maozi, I have already beaten it before, and there are more than a dozen Lao Maozi who died in his hands! Lao Maozi has long threatened to want Lao Tzu's head, how about it? Isn't it still sitting nicely around its neck now? Eat and drink spicy food every day, and do whatever you have to do. In this place, Lao Tzu is the master! I can do whatever I want! No, did the Oriental people also ask for Lao Tzu's head?

What is the Kwantung Volunteer Army, Du Lisan actually doesn't care much. But the fault was that Captain Fujita said the wrong thing when he first came to the door, saying that the Kwantung Volunteer Army was headed by Feng Delin. What is Von Der Lin? He is making trouble in his Liaodong and has a dick relationship with Lao Tzu? Why is he the head? Du Li, who has not suffered a blood loss since his debut, has no eyes left. But he was also worried about the weapons promised by the Orientals, and he was unwilling to lose this opportunity to expand his strength. So there was a second trip to Fujita.

This time it was basically negotiated. The Oriental gave Du Lisan a new name, called the Liaozhong Volunteer Army. Du Lisan was the commander. The weapons were given, but there was one clause that they had to obey Fujita's command.

Du Lisan pondered the good and bad sides of the matter, and on the other hand, he set up a banquet to entertain Captain Fujita. As soon as the wine tasted something, his men reported that the sunspot had been beaten and the gun had been robbed.

Du Li was furious, this was simply a slap in the face of the Japanese. While getting up and packing up and ordering the team to be assembled, he asked what was going on? The people under him only said that there was a dispute in the restaurant, and the two strangers were not good at stubble, so they actually beat the sunspot.

"What about people?" Du Lisan has already understood seven or eight points. Kuroko is his old brother, but he is a prostitute and a gambler, and he is always empty-handed, probably because of the dispute caused by credit. Grandma's, where the wild seeds pop up, don't ask who the family is in the world!

"Ran. They have horses. I don't know which one it is......"

"Chasing, why are you still cold?" Du Lisan left Fujita alone and gathered a team to chase him out of town. vowed to arrest the guy who dared to break ground on Tai Sui's head and bring back the "Ming Orthodox Punishment"!

The horses in their twenties rushed out of the house and chased after them. In the distance, there were indeed two horses running in the direction of the Liao River, and the speed was not fast. Du Li shouted three times, whipped his horse, and tried to catch up. However, mutations occurred. Dozens of rifles fired a dense barrage of bullets at the horse team in both south-east and north-east directions. Then a few grenades were thrown into the herd, and in the blink of an eye the horse team was in disarray, and five or six brothers were knocked off their horses by a rain of bullets and shrapnel as dense as the wind, and most of the horses were frightened and wounded, and fled in all directions unharmed. Before Du Lisan could figure out what was happening, he was shot in the left shoulder at the first moment, fell off his horse, and with a little clarity of the altar, he pulled his foot out of the stirrup with all his might, and did not let the frightened horse drag him out of the horse.

The battle was over in ten minutes. Du Lisan was wounded and captured, seven of his men were killed, 10 were shot and captured, and two of them died of their wounds after being returned to Yu's house.

On the second day of the lunar month, through careful luring of the enemy, in the Hanjia Tower, fifteen miles away from Du Lisan's hometown, the Bailing detachment annihilated most of the pursuing Du Lisan bandits in one fell swoop in the form of an ambush, and captured Du Lisan, who was wounded in the shoulder.

Subsequently, the detachment marched westward and occupied Yu's house. Du Lisan's subordinates who didn't have time to fight had already heard the news and scattered the birds and beasts. The Captain Fujita also ran away and disappeared.

The Bailing detachment unceremoniously took the wealth of Du Lisan and the two generations of robbery and extortion as their own, and the aunts and wives that Du Lisan robbed were at their own convenience, and those who were willing to go home were given appropriate gold and silver and sent home. Then he opened a warehouse and released grain, and distributed the grain accumulated by the Du family to the people near Yu's house.

This move immediately won the favor of the majority of the people. However, there are still concerns. Many people did not dare to receive the food they were given, because they were afraid of provoking Du Lisan.

Lu Shan originally wanted to spare Du Lisan's life. Over the years, following Long Qian, Lu Shan has learned a lot of things. One of them is not to kill indiscriminately. Killing the head is not cutting leeks, it can grow after cutting a stubble. But Long Qian repeatedly told the people of Lushan Kanto to be fierce, to serve the strong and bully, and to stand up for the first time in Kanto.

The people's concerns are clear. As a result, the detachment immediately held a mass meeting to try Du Lisan's "bandits." The people were "escorted" into the venue to watch the trial of Du Lisan and the main bandit leaders. Lu Shan defined Du Lisan's armed gang as bandits, and to say that they were bandits, setting up cards to charge fees, robbing people's daughters, and killing people and goods, all of them were banditry. But because Du Lisan is a local, Du Lisan's subordinates are also local children. Therefore, some people hate these "outsiders" who openly occupy their homes. However, there are those who support Du Lisan, and there are those who oppose Du Lisan. Those people who suffered Du Li's three losses just dared to be angry but didn't dare to speak. When Lu Shan, who presided over the meeting, counted the crimes of Du Lisan and his four subordinates (including the sunspot who was kicked and injured by Jiang Cunxian), declared that he was angry with the people and was shot in public.

The venue immediately boiled. Du Lisan's death completely cut off the idea of "restoration" among his subordinates.

On the sixth day of the lunar month, when Lushan was killing the rich and helping the poor, while nervously paying attention to the surrounding movements, Fan Deping, Deng Qinghua and Wang Yuecian came to Yujiafang Town with the second batch of people who went out of the customs. This was a "big" unit of 120 people, which immediately increased the strength of the detachment, and it was no longer afraid of the general beard.

Lu Shan immediately convened a meeting and organized the troops, with himself as commander, Fan Deping as deputy commander, and Deng Qinghua as chief of staff, and reorganized four squadrons, with Cheng Erhu, Xiong Xun, Sheng Guang, and Ding Xiaofu serving as the captains of the four squadrons. A squadron is actually the strength of a platoon.

Of course, it is necessary to include soldiers. After the end of the operation of distributing food and floating money, the detachment erected a recruiting flag. The name is called the Liaohe Security Team, and it openly plays the banner of protecting the territory and the people. In two days, more than 70 poor peasants from the surrounding villages and towns joined the army, making the strength of the detachment close to 300 people. The recruits were divided into three squadrons for simple but intense training, and just in case, Lu Shan sent veterans to form a guard platoon to take with him.

The second group brought with them a large number of weapons, including a Maxim heavy machine gun.

Lu Shan and others referred to the original practice of capturing Zhengjiazhuang and were anxious to establish their first base in the Kanto region. Unexpectedly, the news of the great change in Yu's house spread quickly, and immediately attracted three groups of uninvited guests. (To be continued......)
