"Big brother, why do you always tolerate the second master?"

Zhang Changgong, no, he should be called Zhang Xianzhong at this time, Zhang Xianzhong heard his cronies ask himself so after the second master who chewed tobacco left, he could only sigh and said: "He helped me into this position last year, and I owe him everything." ”

This answer made Zhang Xianzhong's cronies stunned for a moment, he was not the first to follow Zhang Xianzhong to kill the independent group of people in the firm, he only joined this year, and he joined less than 3 months, and he didn't know about last year.

Because he admired Zhang Xianzhong's personality and valued his righteousness, he was a mountain king in his own country, so he took refuge in Zhang Xianzhong after Zhang Xianzhong attacked the mining area of their trading house.

However, Zhang Xianzhong could only say half of the answer, and he didn't dare to say half of it, even in the face of his cronies.

And half of the reason is that the current power of the second master is even greater than him.

The legend that Zhang Bandit circulated in Dongshan Prefecture was made big by forming an alliance with the brown-skinned savage tribe in the eastern mountains, which is not groundless, but the person who formed the alliance was not Zhang Xianzhong, but the second leader.

After they fled into the mountains last year after killing the people of the trading house, they soon faced various crises.

First and foremost is fresh water.

The most natural dividing line between California and Nevada is the Sierra de Nevada Mountains, which are bordered by plains with a fertile land and abundant water source to the west. To the east of the mountain range are continuous mountains, hills and the Gobi Desert.

Later, Nevada became the driest state in the United States, and the gold digging camps built by their trading houses were basically in the mountains along this dividing line. When they fled, they did not dare to go to the plains to the west, because the Maritime Administration had horses, and people in the plains could not outrun horses, so they fled into the mountains.

It is true that Tibetans are good in the mountainous areas, but the problem is that there are very few resources in the mountainous areas.

After several people died of thirst, or drank unclean water, diarrhea, and starvation and died, Zhang Xianzhong had to take them back to the mining area where they were looking for other trading houses.

The first person to kill the firm was Zhang Xianzhong, but he just couldn't accept the insults given to him by the guards of the firm at that time, and he didn't want to start something like that. It was the second master who put him on the road of uprising, it was he who killed the people of the trading house together, it was he who told everyone that only by following Zhang Xianzhong could there be a future, and it was also his own initiative to expand the scale of the riots, making Zhang Xianzhong the leading brother.

Basically, Zhang Xianzhong is very much like Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, who was given a yellow robe by his subordinates.

Zhang Xianzhong was both grateful and moved but also very helpless, in fact, deep down in his heart, he really didn't want to rebel, he just wanted to teach the guard who bullied him at will, and he didn't come to this level one day.

But it was his personal will to take him to the position that led them from the western border of Nevada back to the many merchant mines on the demarcation line.

His move allowed the people who were already dying of hunger and thirst to survive, and the team also grew, and then attracted the Maritime Safety Bureau, and the team that had finally grown fell apart and had to flee into the eastern mountains again.

Because they were afraid of being chased by the Maritime Administration, they entered the mountains a little deep this time and encountered the Brown-skinned Savage tribe. They were not welcomed by these tribes of brown-skinned savages, and after losing some men, they were driven back to the mountains along the border.

At this time, Zhang Xianzhong already had the idea of surrendering, as long as he didn't cut off his head, he would admit it as a 20-year-old man. However, the second master, who had been separated when he was routed by the brown-skinned savages and driven back to the border mountains, came, with food and brown-skinned savages.

Through the explanation of the two masters, Zhang Xianzhong and the others understood that there were also contradictions and wars between the brown-skinned savages. The Brown-skinned Savage tribe in the western plains of the Border Mountains is one side, and the Brown-skinned Savages in the eastern mountains of the Border Mountains are the other.

The brown-skinned savages in the mountains were more aggressive because they survived by grazing, fishing and hunting, and often plundered other brown-skinned savage tribes in the west for their livelihood, and the two sides became enemies.

Because Zhang Xianzhong came from the west, the brown-skinned savages in the mountains thought they were allies of the brown-skinned savages on the plains, so they attacked them.

The second pawn was very good, and when he was about to die of thirst, he encountered a scuffle between the mountain brown-skinned savages and the plains brown-skinned savages, and he was just trying to get the water bag from the corpse, but was attacked by the plains brown-skinned savages who had the upper hand and had to fight back. In the end, he was rescued by reinforcements from the mountain brown-skinned savages.

Among the brown-skinned savages in the mountains who were initially attacked was the chief's son, who unconsciously saved his life in order to protect himself.

These brown-skinned savages are naturally Indians, and the Indians in the United States have not established civilization, but it does not mean that they are uneducated, they are also moral.

The life-saving grace of the second master moved the chief's son very much, and the two sides became friendly like this. Then, by miraculous gestures, the Indian tribe believed the two masters that they were innocent.

In this way, relying on the second master, Zhang Xianzhong and they have a foothold.

After Zhang Xianzhong and the others recovered, the second master already knew simple Indian language, and the relationship with the Indian tribe that took them in became better and better. Zhang Xianzhong had even seen the second master sneak into the tent of the chief's youngest daughter at night, and what the two did was self-evident.

There were about 1,000 people in this Indian tribe, and Zhang Xianzhong had less than 60 people around him at that time, half of whom were weak. All kinds of rumors about him in Jinshan City are all wrong, most of them are made up, and a small part is based on the real situation, but the more people spread it, the more exaggerated it became, where did he come from, and the thousands of people were Indians who took them in.

At that time, Zhang Xianzhong had a great sense of crisis, and he was afraid that the second master would take the opportunity to overthrow him.

But the second master was proud of the spring breeze at that time, and he had a woman who had a warm quilt, which was really satisfying for the second master who was a bitter tenant farmer in the Central Plains and had never touched a woman's hand in his life.

During the day, he learned the language with the Indians, chewed tobacco, and went to Wushan with the chief's little daughter in the tent at night.

This gave Zhang Xianzhong the opportunity to regain the initiative, and he took the opportunity to return to the border and mountainous areas with a dozen people who were still loyal to him, attacked several merchant camps, and gathered a large number of newcomers by killing people and accepting names.

These newcomers are the people who came to Dongshan Prefecture this year, they are different from other people who have stayed for a year or two, they do not accept their fate as people's husbands, most of them are very decisive to join Zhang Xianzhong, and those who are unwilling to join will become their votes.

Here I have to mention the composition of Zhang Xianzhong's team.

His team now has more than 200 people, most of whom are this year's minfu who were accepted this time, and almost all of these minfu are not good things in the Central Plains.

It's not hard to see why.

It has been 10 years since the forced immigration to Dongshan Prefecture began, and now it is difficult to find people to voluntarily immigrate to Dongshan Prefecture, so the main composition of the people has become the criminals in the prison, the street slickers in the towns, called Huazi, the mature Jurchen, the Mongolian slaves and the Dongyi slaves.

Among them, there are many unruly people, and there is no shortage of people who were originally the king of the mountain in the Ming Dynasty, such as Zhang Xianzhong's newly accepted cronies. With the opportunity to return to the profession they were familiar with, they decisively abandoned the promising profession of Minfu and changed jobs.

After having his own team, Zhang Xianzhong was much more confident, and after returning to the valley assigned to them by the Indians in the eastern mountains, he was shocked to find that the second master was really promising, and actually made the chief's youngest daughter pregnant. He simply went to ask for a kiss, and he succeeded.

Suddenly, Zhang Xianzhong felt that he was busy in vain.

The second boss has more than 1,000 Indians as backers, and it is said that they also have several Indian tribal allies of the same size.

At this time, it happened that the five masters were greedy and wanted more people, so they attacked a commercial mining area without authorization, but they were caught by the Maritime Safety Bureau. Zhang Xianzhong's newly acquired person jumped out and gave him a plan: to kill people with a knife.

After listening to the man's murder plan with a knife, Zhang Xianzhong felt that it was feasible, so they came to the outside of Jinshan City.

Now that the knife has not been borrowed, Zhang Xianzhong does not dare to offend the second master. Fortunately, the second master really doesn't have much ambition, and that ambition has also been worn away by Gentle Township, and now he wants to return to the Indian tribe as soon as possible, guarding his little wife and waiting for his child to be born.

He came this time, and Zhang Xianzhong forcibly brought it in the name that the team needed him.

"Go and call Song Shorty."

After sending away his cronies, Zhang Xianzhong sat on the ground, looking at the top of the tent in a daze, until a voice sounded: "Song Xiance has seen the big boss." ”
