"This finger can only be pinched into a fist to hit people." Zhou Jianping shook his fist.

Everyone understands the truth that unity is powerful, but the question is, who will be the new leader of the Qiangjiao Peninsula?

Xiao Wu was the first to jump out: "Brother Zhou, you are right, partnership is partnership, it's just that even the heroes of Shuibo Liangshan value righteousness, and they also have to sit in line, you say, how do we put this position?" I'm talking ugly ahead, if I am not convinced by this seat, Lao Tzu still has to take someone to do it alone! ”

Lao Ma coughed: "Xiao Wu, if you have something to say, don't shout at every turn, break up the gang, do it alone." What can you do alone? Divide a territory for you in Qiangjiao, close the door and live by yourself? Can this be done? This is not in the mountains, each settlement occupies a hill to barely survive, on the Qiangjiao Peninsula, you have to take fresh water, engage in breeding on the tidal flats, go out to sea to fish, you need everyone's help. ”

Lao Ma relied on his old qualifications and counted a few words from Xiao Wu, but soon changed his words and said to Zhou Jianping: "Jianping, although Xiao Wu is a little angry, it makes sense, snakes can't fly without heads, birds don't fly without heads, we have so many people - well, there are thousands of people, there must be someone who takes the lead, but the old buddies should also have a place to speak." To put it mildly, Jianping, when I first chose you as the temporary leader, it was because you had the most people, and we had to form a force to fight the Great Wall, so naturally it would work if you were the boss. But in the future, we will have to live, we have to farm, raise pigs, develop tidal flats, and go out to sea to fish, but you are a teacher, and these jobs have never been touched. If there is a mistake in doing things, it will be all of us who will suffer. ”

Zhou Jianping was iron-colored, and barely suppressed his anger and said: "Although I am a teacher, I am also from a peasant family, and I used to take good care of my settlement in the mountains, otherwise, there would not be so many survivors to take refuge." I have the most people under my command, which is a testament to my strong governance skills. So be it, I see. Let's have a referendum. One person, one vote, whoever has the most votes will be the boss. ”

Lao Ma and Xiao Wu and other leaders all shouted: "No! Such a major event requires the unanimous consent of several of our leaders to hold a referendum. Play the piano around! "Everybody knows. Zhou Jianping's public determination is pregnant with ghosts. He has the largest number of men under his command, and when the time comes, they will vote in a group, if the other leaders cannot unite. Nine times out of ten, Zhou Jianping won.

The leaders of the mountain people were noisy again, but Xu Mengting and the other two boat bosses never said a word.

After the fishermen of the Qiangjiao Peninsula were defeated, as their leaders, although the three boat bosses were not killed, their political status fell from the clouds to the mud at once, if it weren't for the prestige of the fishermen, they needed to appease people's hearts, and the mountain people had no experience in fiddling with boats, and they needed to rely on their rich navigation skills, the three boat bosses would definitely be cut to the people.

This time, in terms of rankings and seats, Xu Mengting and other boat bosses were like clay puppets, with their eyelids hanging and their hands resting on their knees, more honest than elementary school students, and the mountain people didn't notice them at all, or rather, they didn't pay attention to them at all. The generals of the defeated army, it would be good to have their place.

It's just that seeing that the leaders of the mountain people at the wine table are getting more and more noisy, Zhou Jianping is not without helpers, and he doesn't know what benefits he promised others, and there are also two leaders who favor his proposal, and suddenly quarrel with Xiao Wu and Lao Ma, and some people are even carrying wine bottles and preparing to smash people, and the two sides are red-eyed.

At this moment, there was a bang, and the old horse threw a wine glass on the table, and the broken glass shards splashed into the plate that had not yet been moved. The old horse's foot injury did not heal, and he struggled to prop up the table: "What are you arguing about?" You, you and you, want to fight? Haven't you had enough of it on the Great Wall? Isn't it comfortable not to die a few people? There is a kind, take out a gun and fire at Lao Tzu's top door! ”

Everyone's faces were a little stupid, and the old horse sighed: "In the past, we had no way to live in the mountains, so we had to go to the Qiangjiao Peninsula to beg for food, and now the entire peninsula has dozens of square kilometers of land by ourselves, and it is enough to feed tens of thousands of people, and we have to quarrel, you guys, don't you have a time when people's hearts are satisfied?" ”

Xiao Wu stalked his neck: "Anyway, you have to be reasonable, no one can climb on our heads to and pee, right?" ”

Lao Ma waved his hand: "Xiao Wu, what you said has passed, Qiangjiao is such a large territory, and the mountain people and fishermen add up to thousands of people, and they really need a unified order." If Zhou Jianping's prestige in the hearts of his parents and fellow villagers is great enough, then we should beat gongs and drums, wear red and hang colors, and ask him to become the big leader. ”

Zhou Jianping hurriedly arched his hand to the old horse: "The old horse is polite, I, Zhou Jianping, promise that if I become the leader, I will definitely have a bowl of water." ”

Lao Ma waved his hand: "Wait, Zhou Jianping, there is no need to say these polite words, I was born in farming, unlike you who teach and educate people." You just said that the referendum is not impossible, but I want to ask you one thing, since it is a referendum, can the fishermen vote? If the fishermen can vote, can Xu Mengting's three boat bosses run for election? ”

Zhou Jianping held his breath in his chest, almost didn't catch his breath, and coughed repeatedly, half of this cough was fake, because the old horse was too poisonous! This is going to be a salary!

Nominally speaking, Qiang Jiao is now a combination of mountain people and fishermen, if you really want to talk about justice, fairness and openness, you should naturally let the fishermen vote, and you can't treat fishermen as second-class citizens or slaves, right? Zhou Jianping really dared to be cheeky and do that, not to mention that the fishermen wanted to rebel, even the mountain people who were close to the fishermen would feel that he was not authentic in doing so, because the battle of the Great Wall at that time was not so much about winning by force, but rather about the good united front policy, and the fishermen were half pushed and half surrendered under the slogan of "one family does not fight one family".

If the fishermen can vote, then their original leaders, the three boat bosses, should also have the right to be elected, and they can also run on the same stage with Zhou Jianping.

As a result, the situation is very bad.

The fishermen are much more united than the mountain people, who are united by six settlements. And relative to the "federalism" of the mountain people, although the fishermen have three leaders, in fact, the most convincing is the big leader Xu Mengting, when the time comes, the fishermen of 6 or 700 people will work together more than the mountain people of more than 800 people who belong to various settlements. It was difficult to choose and choose, but Xu Meng, the general of the defeated army, was put on the throne. Isn't this a big joke?!

Zhou Jianping understood that Lao Ma was not unaware of the stakes, and he deliberately mentioned this matter because he wanted to disgust himself. Let yourself take the initiative to retreat. But Zhou Jianping was willing to give up such an opportunity to ascend to the highest throne of Qiangjiao. He is not a living Lei Feng. Isn't it just for the day when his subordinates fight to the death? What's more, in dealing with the three boat bosses and competing for fishing boats. He has offended the king. If you can't grasp the power of Qiangjiao in your hands. Against Yashan, Zhou Jianping couldn't eat and sleep at all.

You know, it was on the dock at the time. Zhou Jianping was once murderous, he never believed that Wang Lu was a generous person, and he would let himself go like this. Wang Lu seems to be bold, but in fact, he has a very small heart, thinking that when he lived in the same dormitory in college, he only smoked a few cigarettes that he threw in the drawer and was about to mold, and Wang Lu humiliated himself in front of everyone in the dormitory.

Now, the people of the Qiangjiao Peninsula still don't know the contradiction between themselves and Wang Lu, but once the news leaks, these white-eyed wolves will definitely not want to offend Yashan, even if they don't throw themselves out to take the blame, they are destined to become marginal people in the power structure of Qiangjiao in the future.

Zhou Jianping, who has already tasted the wonderful taste of power, how can he be willing to return to the past and wried with zombies and smart corpses, just to find a bitter life of stuttering food.

What to do?! What to do?! Zhou Jianping was so anxious that he couldn't help but press his hand on the holster on his waist, he couldn't say it, he would fight to the death! There is no good banquet, I have long thought that today's banquet will never touch a cup, hello, hello, everyone, so simple, specially arranged for his subordinates to serve tea and wine, as long as he pulled out his gun, he would immediately be splashed with blood!

However, Zhou Jianping still has some sense, knowing that as soon as this gun is pulled, the sky will be pierced. Between the mountain people, between the mountain people and the fishermen, they had to fight because of this, and at that time Qiang Jiao was a bloody storm, and even if he won the final victory, it was a tragic victory.

Zhou Jianping's hand rose and fell on his waist, hesitating, his eyes kept rolling. Wang Lu and Feng Haiqi were on the side, and they saw all this clearly with cold eyes, and Zhou Jianping's actions fell into their eyes. At this time, Wang Lu and Feng Haiqi glanced at each other, and Feng Haiqi quietly moved to the windowsill, where the entire banquet could be remotely controlled. Wang Lu coughed, and glanced at Xu Mengting, who raised his eyes to look at him from time to time, Xu Mengting nodded, suddenly stood up, and said in a loud voice: "Everyone, can you let me say a word?" ”

The crowd at the banquet gradually quieted down, Xiao Wu's face was a little impatient, these two ship bosses were defeated, just to fill the façade of harmony, let them sit at the same table, when it comes to the distribution of power in Qiangjiao, where is there room for them to speak? I really used myself as a green onion. However, the old horse sitting next to Xiao Wu kicked him under the table, with a smile on his face, and said politely: "What does Boss Xu have to say, just say that we are all a family now, and there is no need to be like this." ”

Xu Mengting stood up and said: "Leaders, I, Xu Mengting, am not a person who doesn't know the importance and doesn't know what to do, this time everyone can spare my brother's life and give a bowl of rice to eat, I am already very grateful." I can swear here on behalf of the three ship bosses that we will be ordinary survivors in Qiangjiao from now on, and live the rest of our lives in peace. ”

Zhou Jianping didn't expect Xu Mengting to go on the road like this, the expression on his face suddenly relaxed, and the hand on his waist also hung down, he snorted and said: "Xu Mengting, don't carry the burden of thought, let's Qiangjiao will treat everyone equally in the future, as long as you contribute to the strength and development of Qiangjiao, we will also reward you for your merits." ”

Xu Mengting bent over: "Thank you Brother Zhou for your concern, this time our fishermen lost, which shows that our bosses are capable of fishing, and this has to manage the upper and lower messes, and the ability is not enough. ”

Xiao Wu sat on his legs and said impatiently: "Isn't this nonsense? Isn't it up to us to be in charge, but are you still allowed to climb on top of us? ”

Lao Ma kicked Xiao Wu under the table again, and said with a smile: "Xu Mengting." You're a cheerful person, so let's do it, since you gave up participating in the election for the position of the leader, you can be called out of the matter, there is no entanglement of interests, and you can hold a normal heart, but let's talk about it, what method do we use to elect this big leader? ”

Zhou Jianping's pupils shrank, and he stared at Xu Mengting, worried that he would say something unfavorable to him. Wang Lu must have revealed to Xu Mengting behind his back that he wanted to secretly kill the three boat bosses. Xu Mengting has both "hatred of the country" with himself. There is also "the hatred of destroying the family", how can he say good things in his mouth?

Xu Mengting shook his hand again and again, and said with a panicked face: "I can't afford it." I can't afford it. It's a shame that you're sitting here. The big belly is tolerant, I just have no skin and no face, and I don't dare to intervene in such a big thing. ”

Zhou Jianping breathed a sigh of relief. But who would have thought that Xu Mengting changed his words: "Actually, there is a big man here who is more suitable for making suggestions than me." He stretched out his hand: "The leader of the Yashan Base Alliance, he is in charge of the largest survivor settlement in our Yonggang City, and he has strong abilities, listen to his opinion, you can't be wrong." ”

As soon as Xu Mengting's voice fell, Sihai Curie suddenly quieted down, the leaders of the mountain people, you look at me, I look at you, Lao Ma coughed and said: "This Wang Lu leader is our great benefactor, if he didn't help, we mountain people and fishermen don't know how long this unnecessary war will last, thanks to him to lend us body armor, we can not die a person to recover Qiangjiao, not to mention anything else, just today's feast, a lot of materials are also provided by the caravan of Yashan." Let's Qiangjiao up and down, but we can bear the great affection of the king's leader. ”

Xu Mengting said with a smile: "Leader Ma, Leader Wang's contribution is more than that, alas, I am the one who lost the battle, and I didn't have the face to mention this matter, but Leader Wang's credit can't be erased because I only care about a face." Chiefs, do you know why all the ships on the docks of Mopanshan were captured intact? To tell you the truth, on the night of the storm, I had already planned to brave the wind and rain to escape to the sea in a boat once the Great Wall was breached, and all the remaining fishing boats would lose their engines or sink into the sea. Unexpectedly, Leader Wang actually crossed the Shishikou Strait with only 3 people, and caught turtles in a few urns of my brother who was caught off guard, so that all the fishing boats were kept intact! ”

The four seas Curie suddenly made an uproar, everyone turned their heads to each other, how violent the wind and rain were on the night of the typhoon that night, and all the people were clear in their hearts, and they were shaking when they walked on land, not to mention in the sea, Wang Lu was fighting for his life!

The mountain people originally thought that Wang Lu and the others took advantage of the moment when the Great Wall was broken through, and rushed to the dock from the land first, but they didn't expect that Wang Lu actually only brought three people to cross the strait on the night of the typhoon, subduing Xu Mengting and other boat bosses without hurting anyone.

Strong! It's so powerful!

Lao Ma glanced at Zhou Jianping, whose face was blue and his mouth was tightly closed, nodded, and shook his head again: "Alas, it seems that in this battle of Qiangjiao, the first person to take credit should actually be the leader of the king." Without him, we would have been hungry a long time ago, without him, we rushed to the Great Wall and don't know how many brothers would have been killed and wounded, without him, even if we lay a strong Jiao, but the fishing boats would have fled, and the sinking would have sunk, and the loss would have been great. As he spoke, he stood up and bowed to Wang Lu: "Leader Wang, we will never forget your kindness to Qiang Jiao, and please give me more advice." ”

Xiao Wu listened a little anxiously next to him, Lao Ma's posture was clearly to let Wang Lu interfere in the distribution of power within Qiang Jiao, but the problem was that Wang Lu was Zhou Jianping's old classmate, could he turn his elbow outward and turn his heart towards other mountain leaders? That's going to be a shelf. He really couldn't sit still, so he jumped up and said: "The leader of Wang Lu is very kind to us, but he didn't help in vain, we used his materials at a cost......

"Shut up!" Lao Ma snorted: "Some rice that can only be harvested next year, some stinky fish and rotten shrimp, and some worthless salt, what is the price?" If you mention the word 'rent' again, my old horse's face will be lost! The conscience of heaven and earth, the great kindness of the king's leader, we must repay it, but we are short of food and clothing now, and we really can't come up with decent things, so we will talk about this later. Here today, we ask the leader of Wang Lu to say a few fair words about the important matter of our strong opening of the sect, if anyone is crooked, he will not be able to get along with my old horse! ”

Xiao Wu was taken aback, Lao Ma, this guy, is not the largest in number, but the most united and daring to fight, otherwise, Lao Ma would not have been thrown down and broke his leg because he rushed to the Great Wall first. Among the leaders of the mountain people, a few of them are really working the front line of the Great Wall, like Zhou Jianping, who has never been to the Great Wall once. If you offend Lao Ma, it's really not worth it...... Hey, that's not right! Although Lao Ma is honest, he is not a stupid person, in this last world, the real good people have long since died, this old boy is not unaware of the relationship between Wang Lu and Zhou Jianping's classmates, but he still insists that Wang Lu "preside over justice" - there is something greasy in this!

Xiao Wu's gaze involuntarily slid to Zhou Jianping, and at a glance, he saw that although Zhou Jianping looked calm, the action of pinching the empty wine glass in his hand but still putting it to his mouth revealed his true mood - this guy was flustered! (To be continued......)
