Chapter 3: The Gathering of the Heroes

Song Jiliu and his mother were still holding a pistol and staring at Dong Long intently, afraid that this lackey of the Qing court would do something. Seeing this, Zhonghachi took a sharp puff of cigarette and said, "Okay! We sent people to attack Ganyu City, how about you make an internal decision? ”

Dong Long, who was very scheming, didn't expect Zhong Ba to ask him such a question directly. He secretly decided: "First of all, when the matter comes, then watch the wind make the rudder, and act when the opportunity comes!" Under the guidance of such thoughts, Dong Long said: "It is incumbent on you to serve!"

Zhong Ba listened as he glanced at the change in Dong's eyes. When he heard this, he took a puff of cigarette and guessed the other party's psychology and continued: "After you suddenly put forward your request to join the Youth Gang, I temporarily pondered this method!" In order to create an opportunity for you, so that you can take this opportunity to perform and make a big contribution. In this way, you will be able to atone for your sins and give an account to the common people in the future. ”

"For President Zhong's hard work, I am very grateful and will be rewarded for life!" Dong Long didn't allow Zhong Ba to interject, and couldn't wait and said impatiently: "President Zhong's method is really a clever trick, a brilliant strategy!" I, admire, really admire! When do you say we're going to do it? ”

"Yikes! I didn't think about that! Zhong Hachi, "What do you think?"

"Tell me to say, without further ado, the night is long and dreamy!" Dong Long hurriedly said.

That's true! Look...... Shall we act tonight? Zhong Ba stared into Dong Long's eyes and asked.

"Good!" Dong Long clapped his hands and said.

The reason for the siege of the city, in the autumn of the third year of Xuantong (1911), Zhang Dahan, a Xiucai of Zhangjiahu in Shangzhuang Town, Taihe City, Ganyu City, was killed, and Cao Yunpeng of Ganyu Zhixian County did not know how to handle the case.

Zhi Shen planned to rob the prison to save his uncle, and found Zhong Ba to help, Zhong readily agreed, so they split up and connected in tandem. At that time, the Wuchang Revolutionary Army was thriving, the Qing court was crumbling, and after the agitation of Zhongba and Zhifall, all the heroes of the green forest rose up, Lianzhuang tree flag, and the hungry people in the four townships joined the gangs, ready to break the city to save people, and open a warehouse to help the people.

The plan for the siege of the city, as well as the plan for the night's action, were all things that Zhong Ba had already discussed with Meng Zhaoyuan, Sun Zhiluo and other thieves and branch presidents. Now he was waiting for Dong Long's words. However, when he heard this, he showed an unprepared look, and thought, "Oh! That's too much, isn't it? Are you still in time? ”

"It's too late, it's ...... in time"

"Well, well!"

Zhong Ba paused for a moment, then suddenly changed his tone, with a decisive expression unique to the boss of the green forest, and said, "It's decided!"

"Thank you, Chairman Chung, for your care!"

"You must carry out this as a military order!"

"Yes!"

"What the military order means, I think you understand!"

"Understood, the little one understands too well!"

"After you go back and make arrangements, you have to send someone to contact me before lunch, report the situation of your arrangement to me, and we will tell you the contact code and other matters......

"I'm leaving, right?"

"Then you can go back first, but-" Zhongpachi changed his words and said, "I will give you another ancient precept: 'A good man does not suffer the loss in front of him.'" Okay, let's go back!"

Dong Long thanked him again and again, turned around and left.

Zhong Ba also stood and followed, and stood still when he walked out of the gate, looking at Dong Long's back with a contemptuous smile. Dong Long may have been sitting for too long, his legs have become numb, and now he is limping. His figure, which was originally quite tall, was now getting smaller and smaller in Zhongpachi's sight, getting smaller and smaller, and when he was as small as a little hare, he disappeared in a small tea forest!

After a while, Song Desen, Sun Zhishen, Meng Zhaoyuan and some big and small leaders of the Green Gang suddenly all ran to the Confucius Temple. Each of them brought a smiling face and a sweaty body, and suddenly stood in a scattered circle around Zhongpachi, and asked in a gossiping voice, "Boss, how are you talking?"

The good man Zhongba smiled and said loudly in the face of the big guy's inquiry: "It should be no problem!" Suffice it to say, good! ”

This is a very clear sentence, and this is because, before Dong Long's arrival, he had conducted detailed analysis and research, and made a unanimous decision. Song Desen first asked, "President, should that little guy all go down?"

"Who's to say it's not." Zhong Ba cleared his throat and said, "However, the Qing Dynasty is almost over, this is true. At that time, the Wuchang revolutionary army was booming, the Qing court was crumbling, and the hungry people in the four townships were waiting to be fed. However, those particularly stubborn enemies, due to their very nature, will not become Buddhas on the spot because they are about to die, and they will not be able to change their cannibalistic wolf ambitions! For example, it is very difficult for reactionary figures such as Cao Yunpeng of Zhixian County and Wang Zuoliang of Wang Zhufan Village to change their position! ”

"Absolutely!" This is a sentence that Jiliu picked up.

Zhongba touched Jiliu's head and said, "The little guy is really good!" However, according to the analysis, this person is more loyal and righteous, attaches great importance to feelings, and does not do too many bad things, so it is unlikely that he will make a name for himself. ”

The big guys have expressed their approval.

Zhong Ba stared at Song Desen again and said: "If you want to break through the county seat, you must have superior forces, and it is not enough to rely on the ten forces on our periphery!" What if something goes wrong with the person surnamed Dong and can't help?......"

"Easy to do!" Desen interjected, "I'm going to gather the secret Green Gang brothers in the city!" ”

"That's right! I thought so too!" Nakahachi said, "That's it—the secret brothers of the three groups in the city are all yours to call!" ”

"Good!"

"And remember—" Zhongpachi admonished, "we have a certain base of work within the enemy in the city. In storming the gates, it is necessary to make full use of those favorable factors......"

"Okay!"

Song Desen's words did not pass, and Meng Zhaoyuan picked up again: "President, what about me?"

"Your original main mission remains the same!" Nakahachi said, "One more request for you—"

"What requirements?"

"You are responsible for explaining to Cao Yunpeng of Dog Zhi County - fleeing to Mussels, that is unlikely! Got it? ”

"Got it!" Meng Zhaoyuan said, "What do you mean: after cutting off their back road, they will be beaten hard!" With the power of the swords and guns in our hands, it is impossible to warn the enemy that they want to run!" After he said that, he smiled embarrassedly at Zhonghachi: "Isn't it?"

"Okay! Ha ha! Zhong Ba patted Meng Zhaoyuan's shoulder in admiration and smiled praisefully, "Good guy, that's amazing!" ”

For a while, Sun Zhishen, who has never been reluctant to speak, was silently thinking in his heart because he was tasked with rescuing his fifth uncle from prison after breaking through Ganyu City, so he didn't speak. When Zhongba said this, he shouted at him: "Sun Zhishen!"

"Yes!"

"I'll give you another mission—"

"What a mission!"

"You go and organize the hungry people in Xisi Township!"

"This, this, this ......"

"We can't do this job, can we?" Zhongba asked with a smile.

"If we want to talk about war, we are not afraid of losing our heads! But what is it to do...... President Zhong, don't be embarrassed by me! ”

"Because I know you very well, I have to ask you to do it, this is an order!"

Zhi Shen asked again: "President Zhong, let Zhaoyuan go with me, right?" ”

"Zhaoyuan still has Zhaoyuan's mission!" After a moment's pause, he explained, "He's going to follow me out of the city to survey the terrain!" ”

Out of a strong sense of responsibility, Zhao Yuan was afraid that he would have no experience, and he would not be able to do it well and make a mistake, so he interjected and suggested: "President, tell me that there is no need to survey the terrain, isn't it all in our hearts." We know this!" Meng Zhaoyuan also added a special sentence.

"Fuck, if you know it in your heart, you can't be paralyzed, right? You must know that there are many similarities between this battle game and a chess game. "In other words, as the chess pieces move, the situation of the whole chess game changes all the time, isn't it?" In the process of playing chess, if you only rely on what you have learned in the past, you will feel that you have a 'good idea', and you will no longer understand the new situation, so is it strange not to lose chess? ”

Zhao Yuan's eyes flashed and he nodded again and again. After a moment, he asked again: "President, we have prepared so carefully, if the enemy doesn't fight with us?" Zhongba smiled and said, "If you don't fight hard, you will pull it down!" If he wants to fight hard, let's blossom inside and out; If we don't fight hard, we can easily win the ...... of Ganyu City."

Song Desen, Meng Zhaoyuan, Sun Zhiyuan and others nodded one after another.

Zhong Ba said to Song Desen, Sun Zhiluo, Fu Xinghuai, Xiang Gonglie, Zhao Fanglie and others: "You all act separately!" ”

"Yes!" The Way.

"Report Uncle Zhong, what am I doing?" Song Ji stepped forward and asked.

"You go home with your mother and wait for the food to be distributed." Zhonghachi said.

"Nope! We're going to go with my mom and me to beat the dogs! ”

"There's a kind!" Zhong Hachi held the little boy in his arms, "Why do you want to beat the dog too?" Tell the uncle! ”

"They bullied us!" The little boy looked at him and said, "By the way, you are the great man I often say, our Uncle Zhong!" ”

"The little guy's mouth is weirdly sweet, and it's promising! It's really a tiger father without a dog! In another fifteen years, you will be more capable than us old guys! Heroes are young people! ”

"No, it's still Uncle Zhong and the heroes of the green forest who have the ability!" Xiao Jiliu said seriously.

"Really? Haha......" Nakahachi laughed.

"Haha......" everyone laughed.
