Chapter 819: Matou Town (I)

When he came to the door of the room, Hu Yingze led the way and naturally walked to the front. Zhang Qingshan walked in the middle, followed by Tian Guozhong.

However, Zhang Qingshan made a mistake, he had to joke with Tian Guozhong, he had to ask Tian Guozhong to go ahead, and he shouted, "You are the chief of staff, I am just a company instructor, how dare I walk in front of you, a big official? Wouldn't that be my own small shoes to wear~!"

Tian Guozhong naturally didn't do it, and he had to go ahead.

"Don't come with me. ”

"I'm telling the truth. ”

"I'll turn my face if I say that again!"

"Look! you know you're small-minded...... Hey~! The official is at the top level, crushing 10,000 people!"

In the end, it was Hu Yingze who glared at the two of them, and the two of them smiled and followed Hu Yingze to push the door and enter.

Obviously, the bickering between the two of them outside had been heard by the people inside the house. No, as soon as I saw the three people rushing in, the three people in the room had already stood up and waited.

There were three people in the room: Luo Yingjie and the burly strong man, who were comforting the old man in the middle who wiped his tears with a handkerchief.

Luo Yingjie hurriedly introduced them to each other.

However, this introduction once again reflects Zhang Qingshan's prestige. Because when Hu Yingze and Tian Guozhong were introduced, the two were just polite and polite with a little respect. However, when I heard that the smiling man in front of me was Zhang Qingshan, the commander of the assault regiment in the surrounding area of the earthquake in the past six months, at this time, Zhang Qingshan would never politely explain that he was no longer the head of the regiment, this was not only his personal reputation, but also related to the reputation of the assault group and the attitude towards them. The two immediately looked at Zhang Qingshan in surprise, and knelt down with excitement in their eyes, kowtowing and crying: "Please head Zhang to call the shots of the grass people!"

Zhang Qingshan hurriedly helped them up, and after inviting them to sit down, he smiled and said, "The two ......"

Luo Yingjie, who was on the side, stepped forward and introduced: "Leader, this is Chen Changhe, the old mayor of Matou Town, Baoyuan County...... This is Zhou Baichuan, the captain of the guard team in Zhoujia Village, Matou Town, known as the old knife. ”

The old mayor Chen Changhe, who looked about fifty years old, was full of wealth, whether it was his clothes or the aquaura wrench on the middle finger of his right hand, it showed that he was a rich man - not to mention anything else, the poor people wiped their tears, and the water would be so extravagant that they used a handkerchief? That would be laughed at.

The old Taoist Zhou Baichuan, looking at the face of about thirty-two or three, is wearing tight black clothes, but he also knows that he is not a poor family by looking at the fabric. Whether it's his dress, or his faint sharpness, or his nickname, nine times out of ten he is a Jianghu person, or in other words, he is not a peaceful person.

After some introduction and consolation, Zhang Qingshan directly asked the purpose of their visit.

The two of them were also forced to be helpless, or they were desperate, so they could only come here, and naturally they would not let go of this opportunity. In order to get the help of the assault group, they told the story as it was......

The county seat of Baoyuan County is more than 70 kilometers away from the county seat of Sanqiao County, and although Matou Town belongs to Baoyuan County, the town boundary of this big town is close to Sanqiao County, and the county seat of Sanqiao County is only about 27 kilometers. In terms of transportation, it is a transit point between the two counties.

Baoyuan County itself is the richest county in the surrounding area, because it is a place rich in gold mines, especially in Matou Town, where there are not only many gold mines, but also the gold content of the ore is very high. Among them, Zhoujia Village Daozigou is the most ...... Matou Town used to be called Goutou Town, but because of its discovery of Goutou Gold from time to time, in order to avoid the three words Goutou Gold, causing unnecessary trouble, it was renamed Matou Town.

The old mayor Chen Changhe has been the mayor of Matou Town in Baoyuan County for more than ten years, although it is essential to bully and exploit the people, but he has a huge advantage - long sleeves are good at dancing, and strive to maintain the stability of Matou Town!

During his tenure as mayor, the living standards of the people of Matou Town improved a lot, which was decisively related to the gold mine in Matou Town, but also had a non-negligible relationship with his governance and efforts to maintain stability...... Everyone knows that the gold mine is a cornucopia, which naturally arouses people's eyes, whether it is fought for secretly or openly by force, it is bound to be fierce. And once there is turmoil, even the murder and robbery of mines with open fire is a huge blow to both the mining workers and the owners of the mines. Only with a stable external environment protection can the risk of mining be minimized, so that everyone can have a bite to eat.

And Chen Changhe did two things during his tenure illustrates his ability and attitude.

Four years ago, there was a major drought in Baoyuan County and its surrounding areas, and in order to maintain the stability of the population in the territory, Chen Changhe not only tried to collect food and other daily necessities everywhere, but also ruthlessly attacked all the big hoarders of daily necessities in the town, and made a bloody suppression at the expense of force. He also raised taxes from various mining areas to buy grain, and even sold part of his family property. Then, he selflessly sold the grain to the people at the purchase price...... In this way, although he gained great prestige among the people, he also offended some people. has laid the groundwork for being ousted from power now.

Eight years ago, a group of rogues arrived in Matou Town, when the escort team in Matou Town only had about 100 people, and the weapons were outdated, let alone training. However, Chen Changhe personally took the lead, mobilized all the big households and people, formed a coalition army, and resisted the attack of this rogue bandit, and fought six or seven battles with it, and finally, after a full 25 days of confrontation, he kept Matou Town and raised its prestige to a higher level...... Of course, what is so greasy in this is not known to outsiders.

However, after this time, Chen Changhe relied on the wealth of Matou Town, organized a guard of about 300 people, equipped with sophisticated weapons, and hired instructors to train them with high salaries, and formed offensive and defensive alliances with various mine owners.

Even his enemies had to bow their heads.

The county's largest gold mine is on the boundary of Zhoujia Village, and the largest village in the county is also Zhoujia Village, there are thousands of people in the village, most of them are surnamed Zhou, the father of the old knife is not only the village head, but also the patriarch of the village surnamed Zhou, the prestige is naturally very sufficient, and it makes the hearts of the whole village very together, so that the wealth of the village is naturally needless to say.

And the old knife Zhou Baichuan said that he was the captain of the village protection team of Zhoujia Village, but everyone knows that his so-called village protection team is actually the main purpose of guarding the gold mine of Daozigou, so his nickname is Lao Daozi. There is a standing team of 150 people, and with a greeting, thousands of people in the entire Zhoujia Village will listen to him, especially after his father died at the beginning of last year, he is even more of a little overlord in Zhoujia Village.

Both of them are earth overlords, and they are sworn brothers, one is prosperous, one is lost, and both work and private are good situations, so there is nothing to say about the baby parent, and it is also one of the necessary means of forming an alliance.

After Lao Daozi married Chen Changhe's eldest daughter, the two families were even more close, and the relationship was so good that the young masters and young ladies of the two families went to each other's house to get money without going through the nod of the other party's elders, which was more convenient than at home.

And Chen Changhe can be the old mayor for so many years, and he can have such confidence to protect his shortcomings, he can think of it with his ass that his in-laws are definitely supporters of his identification.

However, when the little devil came, all that changed. In other words, the arrival of the little devil is just a fuse, and in the past, whether it was the enemy or the people who wanted to go up and take a bite because they were rich in Matou Town, but were knocked out by Chen Changhe, at this time, they all took advantage of this great change and pounced on Matou Town.

To tell the truth, Chen Changhe has been the mayor of Matou Town, a wealthy and eye-catching town, for so many years, which in itself proves that he is definitely not a loyal person.

After the little devil captured the county seat, at first, he did not have the loyalty of resistance or suicide, because he was reluctant to give up what he had. But he didn't curry favor with the little devil like a traitor, because, in his eyes, he only had his own one-third of an acre, so he chose to wait and see - what if the national army soon came back?

Such a thought, at the time, was definitely the most normal thought of a person like him.

However, just because he hesitated and watched, half a month passed. And in the past half a month, a lot of things have happened, and a lot of things have been done, and it is enough to lay the groundwork for his downfall.

Baoyuan County is rich in gold, although the largest gold mine is in Daozigou, Zhoujia Village, Matou Town, but there is also a big gold mine called Leopard's Mouth in the east of it, although it can't catch up with Daozigou, but it is enough to rank second.

Zhoujia Village is the villagers themselves to protect the mine, and it is absolutely clear and clear, and it is difficult for outsiders to get in. However, the composition of the big gold mine in Leopard's Mouth is much more complex.

The Leopard's Mouth Gold Mine was not called this before, only because there was a big group of bandits around it, and its big boss was called Hua Leopard, who colluded with the former county magistrate and forcibly seized this big gold mine, and then changed its name to the Leopard's Mouth Gold Mine. In the past few years, it can be regarded as the ownership of this big gold mine, and it can be regarded as a change from a green forest person to a tiger-like earth overlord. Naturally, there were all kinds of people under him, and they soon expanded to five or six hundred people, and their combat effectiveness was not strong, but there were many outlaws who could be single-handed.

Moreover, the leopard also married the daughter of a big grain merchant in the county, which can be regarded as a strong alliance, with money, food, guns and people, becoming a new force in the county.

Although the peers are enemies, but the two sides are separated by dozens of kilometers, and they have to support each other in the price of gold mines, and the force of Matou Town is much greater than that of the leopard, but there are many outlaws on the leopard side, so these two new and old forces can barely be regarded as well water and river water.
