"Comrade Zeguang, should we go to the county seat to see the comrades of the county brigade, how do they 'force' the demeanor of the county magistrate?"

Zhang Qingshan's question was a sycophant, and he reminded the other party more implicitly: I am here to carry out the task, although you have this confidence, but it is not a matter for us to chat here, it is better to witness it with your own eyes, and by the way to see if there is anything that can help, this heart is steady...... The crux of the matter is that it was the first time that Zhang Qingshan had encountered a county guerrilla brigade that could actually 'force' the county magistrate to negotiate. For a while, in addition to being shocked, Zhang Qingshan was more or less uncomfortable - just waiting, watching the comrades below solve the matter, this kind of unearned task was something Zhang Qingshan had never experienced before, and he was a little uncomfortable for a while.

However, it is certain that based on this situation, Zhang Qingshan has great respect for the Luoshui County Guerrilla Brigade.

"Captain Zhang, you put your heart in your stomach, and let the comrades rest and rest, and wait for the next county to go...... Besides, it's useless for you to be in a hurry now, at this time, Lao Zhao and they must have been negotiating with the county magistrate, even if we rush over now, I'm afraid they have already negotiated......"

What else can Zhang Qingshan say besides giving him a thumbs up?

Turning his head, he ordered: everyone make a fire and cook!

He also told Liu Bing and others the specific situation, which caused Liu Bing and others to be very surprised, and they all came to Hu Zeguang's side to inquire and ask for advice.

After a rapid march of dozens of miles, it was rare to rest, and many experienced comrades, after eating, simply found a place with a thicker grass nest, squeezed each other, and fell asleep.

To tell the truth, if it weren't for the fact that this guide really confirmed that Hu Zeguang in front of him was the instructor of the Luoshui County Guerrilla Brigade, and there was a letter of introduction as evidence, Zhang Qingshan would have been a little suspicious that he was sent by the enemy, and he had a special 'gate' to appease everyone so that he could wait to surround him...... Even if Zhang Qingshan believed him again, it was impossible for him to wait on the spot stupidly, at least, he took the cordon five miles away, and added double posts.

Little by little, the time passed, and at about eight o'clock in the evening, the sentry came back and reported that he had found hundreds of people driving sheep, and some were talking and laughing towards him.

Zhang Qingshan's first reaction was: The people of the county's guerrilla brigade are coming.

After quickly asking everyone to strengthen their vigilance, they told Hu Zeguang the news, and Hu Zeguang immediately laughed happily and affirmed that this was definitely the county guerrilla brigade.

Immediately, Zhang Qingshan asked several principal cadres to be prepared in case of contingencies, and he took Xiang Tao with him and accompanied Hu Zeguang and the five of them to greet them -- Zhang Qingshan sometimes has a good face: You can't lose to your local comrades in momentum! If five members of your county guerrilla brigade dare to come to meet me, I must bring only one guard to meet you...... Of course, this kind of stunned display behavior is based on Zhang Qingshan's true belief that the other party is his comrade, not an enemy, otherwise, with Zhang Qingshan's wit, he will never be able to commit such a foolish behavior like throwing himself into a net.

Facts have proved that Zhang Qingshan is not only bold, but also has a good vision, and the hundreds of people who came are indeed the guerrilla brigade of Luoshui County.

The main reason why the sentinels said that they were common people was that they were poor people by the way they were dressed. What's more, their weapons are very backward, many of them are armed with red tassel guns, and some even hold long sticks. Rifles and other weapons seem to have more than 100 guns, but among the more than 100 guns and ammunition, only about a dozen are new, and more are old-style guns, including dozens of muskets...... In this regard, Zhang Qingshan was very suspicious that how many of them could really fire.

However, during the later talks, Zhang Qingshan learned that although the county's guerrilla brigade was able to 'force' the county magistrate to negotiate, this situation was unique in the past year: In other words, it was the Central Red Army that had a good time to enjoy the shade under the big tree after it arrived here! With the help of the prestige of the Central Red Army and its general environment, they began to develop truly and rapidly. The old days were not easy.

Another point, Luoshui County is indeed a poor county, everyone is poor, there are few rich, but the poor temple rich abbot, the county's poverty gap is scary, two or three rich are extremely rich, especially the Qi family, known as 'Qi Bancheng'.

In the past, the guerrilla brigade in the county was not only vigorously suppressed by the reactionaries, but also had a very hard life, which can only be said to be a hard support. Not to mention that they don't have the funds, they just want to 'get' money, but everyone is poor, where do they find money to buy guns?

For these two reasons, they have done their best to develop into the current situation in just over a year.

After Zhang Qingshan heard about these situations, he was also embarrassed in his heart, from the strong performance of the county's guerrilla brigade to the current admiration: How many people know the blood and tears and perseverance behind the scenery?

However, Zhang Qingshan's eyes quickly focused on the ten sheep and dozens of burdens.

Zhao Wu, the captain of the Luoshui County Guerrilla Brigade, looked at Zhang Qingshan's gaze, and immediately smiled: "Look at my joy to see the comrades of the main force, I actually forgot to get down to business, Captain Zhang, I'm sorry, I'm so happy that I forgot to report to you." ”

"No hurry! ”

This time, the county guerrilla brigade was still stained with the main force of the Red Second Front Army, because the county magistrate of Luoshui County was half frightened to death when he heard that another main force of the Red Army was dozens of miles away.

Zhao Wu led someone to knock him on the bamboo pole, and he could only smash his teeth and swallow it in his stomach - if the main force of the Red Second Front attacked his county seat, then he would be finished. Because he knew that with his little force, defending the city was simply nonsense. So, should he die in battle, or run away? Anyway, he didn't want to take either road, so he had to admit it.

However, this guy still has a 'shrewd' side, trying his best to lower the price at the negotiation table, tracking, and the two sides reached an agreement, he will 'hand' over 2,000 oceans, 200 sheep and other daily necessities within three days. At the same time, Zhao Wu, on behalf of the Red Army, ensured that the main force of the Red Army would not attack the county seat, and would not even set foot in his territory.

And these ten sheep and two hundred catties of millet buns were given by the county magistrate, which is regarded as interest.

After listening to his brief description, Zhang Qingshan's first reaction was to turn his head to look at the reflections of the people around him, and saw that the people around him were all smiling, faintly proud, Zhang Qingshan frowned slightly, and then looked at Zhao Wu, thought about it, and felt that they were all his own comrades, and watched Zhao Wu and others walk into the 'yin' ditch, and he didn't remind him, I'm sorry for the title of 'comrade'.

"Comrade Zeguang and Comrade Zhao Wu, is there something I don't know whether to say or not?"

"It's all your own comrades, you just have to say. ”

Zhang Qingshan looked left and right, Hu Zeguang immediately came to his senses, and quietly took Zhang Qingshan aside with Zhao Wu.

Zhang Qingshan then whispered: "As the old saying goes, if you fight a snake, you will not die, but you will suffer from it!" Comrade Zeguang and Comrade Zhao Wu, if you treat the county magistrate like this, but you don't beat him to death with a 'stick', I am afraid that there will be ......trouble in the future."

The two stopped Zhang Qingshan's words, and immediately fell silent: Zhang Qingshan's words were euphemistic, but the meaning was understandable to both of them: no matter how weak the county magistrate is, he is a person after all, and if he is a human being, he will have a bottom line and anger......

"I know that the organization will definitely think about the overall situation, so you are not allowed to occupy the county seat now. However, you must also be prepared yourselves, lest one day, that bullshit county magistrate will trick you and it will be unfavorable to you. ”

The point is that if you have bullied the county magistrate for a long time, the county magistrate will inevitably hold a grudge and retaliate sooner or later, and you yourself have been cultivated in addition to arrogance, under arrogance, the intensity of vigilance will be correspondingly reduced...... The so-called arrogant soldiers will be defeated, this is the truth.

Hu Zeguang nodded and said, "Thank you Captain Zhang for reminding us, our brothers will write it down, and we will definitely take precautions in the future and not add 'chaos' to the organization." ”

Don't beat the drum with a hammer!

Besides, Zhang Qingshan is an outsider, so it's not good to point fingers at them, so he has to stop there.

Hearing Hu Zeguang's words, Zhang Qingshan could only nod, but he had a bad premonition in his heart...... In fact, at this moment, Zhang Qingshan saw Hu Zeguang's brows furrowed, obviously he heard this, but Zhao Wu nodded nonchalantly, obviously not listening to this. He had the urge to instigate them to go and occupy the broken county town now -- to solve the future trouble once and for all! But when he thought of the overall situation of the organization, he stubbornly endured it.

Later, the two friendly armies met up and began to slaughter the sheep for dinner.

That is, during the dinner, Zhao Wu said to his old partner Hu Zeguang: "Old Hu, this Zhang Qingshan is a bit out of character. ”

"How?"

"Xiao Peng (guide) told me just now that this Zhang Qingshan has made a great reputation in the main army, and he is definitely able to fight well, and he is even more blessed as a general. This time, a number of leaders personally ordered his generals and asked him to lead troops to carry out this mission, but look at what he told us before? On the one hand, we should be careful and patient, and on the other hand, we should develop.

"Lao Zhao, there is no vanity under the so-called fame! What's more, it has been personally ordered by the organization and the leaders, and there will definitely be no false name. Besides, he reminded us very right, don't say anything else, just say that we go to knock on the county magistrate's bamboo bar again and again, a long time, a lot of times, it will inevitably be paralyzed, in case the county magistrate really takes the opportunity to set us up, we are really likely to be injured, so, it is better to be careful, otherwise, in case of being fooled, we will not be able to cry. ”

"He dares!" Zhao Wu said in a deep voice with angry eyes: "As far as his courage is concerned, I borrow their courage, and he doesn't dare to compete with me." ”

"What can you do with him if he really fights with you and immediately runs to the rear of the reactionaries and hides afterwards?"

"Forehead ......"

Although Zhao Wu was speechless, looking at his unconvinced anger, it can be seen that he did not take Hu Zeguang's reminder to heart again.

And the facts have proved Zhang Qingshan's vision.
