1160 Falling grass for Kou
Tan Chuncheng sneered and said, "It's not possible, but it will be! In the eyes of those people, we are just vulgar warriors, where can we compare to the gold of their own sons and nephews!"
Tan Chunlin waved his hand irritably and said, "It's useless to talk about this now, go and call everyone in, we have to make a charter!" It's just that these two or three hundred people don't have any money, and they can't hold it just by sitting on the mountain, so they have to come up with an idea as soon as possible!"
Tan Chuncheng agreed to go out, and soon brought six or seven people in. These people are all the backbone of the crime in the hundred households, and they follow the Tan family brothers to kill people and do everything! I'm already completely tied to their brother, so I don't have to worry about leaking anything to discuss with them!
After everyone gathered, Tan Chunlin first explained the general situation of the matter, and then talked about the situation he was facing now, and finally said, "Brothers, now we are in a difficult situation both internally and externally! Shangguan is tracking us down, and the local gentry want to get rid of us, and if they don't do it, they will throw us out and get rid of our crimes! Let's talk about it, what should we do?"
The people who just came in haven't had much to do lately, drinking and playing with women all day long, and they are very happy, and they haven't thought about this aspect at all. So suddenly, when I heard the current situation, I immediately scolded!
first scolded the local gentry for treachery, and then scolded Liu Haojia for being nosy! When I started to face the facts after scolding, the result was just like Tan Chunlin said, I really couldn't come up with any ideas!
Some said that they went to the sea to be pirates, some said that they broke up, some said that they fell into the grass, and some even said that they surrendered, so angry that the two Tan Chunlin brothers slapped the table! And unsurprisingly, everyone's ideas were rejected!
In the end, a guy named Yang Damu said anxiously, "This method doesn't work, that method doesn't work, so what should we do? Just waiting for the government to arrest us? When the time comes, we won't have to be betrayed by the local officials and gentry, and the people below will sell us!"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and then they remembered that there were not only a few of them in this guard, but also more than 200 subordinates! These people are all involved in killing people and stealing people, so these people must not be disbanded! Once disbanded, it is equivalent to making what you do public, and you will die faster!
After everyone was silent for a moment, a man named Sun Dong, who had not spoken, said, "Baihu, Zongqi, the little one thought for a long time, and felt that the last solution was with the local officials and gentry! If they are willing to cover it up for us, as long as the general flag goes out and confesses his sin, it will be over! Playing White Duck will be sentenced to a few years of exile at most, and you will be able to get out of the whole body! But if the officials and gentry don't agree, we'll all be doomed! Therefore, the little one thinks that the hundred households should talk to those gentry again!"
Tan Chunlin shook his head and said, "It's useless! They have already connected with the local government and picked themselves clean! The second son of the Huang family is ready to plead guilty and compensate the government for its losses! Looks like it's a matter of fines!"
When Sun Dong heard this, his eyes flashed fiercely, and he said, "Then there is nothing to say, we will only have one way to fall into the grass!" But before the grass falls, the Huang family, the Li family, and the Sun family must be destroyed, and this breath can be done!"
Tan Chunlin said in surprise, "It's not to the point of falling grass, right?"
Tan Chuncheng rubbed his hands and said, "Big brother, don't you understand? First of all, there are more than 200 brothers under our command, and few of them can keep the secret! If you don't make a living for them to do, and if you don't have any income, it won't be long before you disperse! Do you expect them to keep it a secret for us when they leave here?"
Sun Dong then said, "That's right! The government will definitely track down the mastermind of Sai Baiya, and the mastermind will either fall on the Huang family or the county order, this will not be a big problem, but where does the white duck come from? On us! As long as the government finds us, we won't be able to hide what we have done before! Maybe the gentry sold us first in order to get away with it!"
At this time, Tan Chuncheng said, "So we might as well take our brothers up the mountain and fall into the grass! Anyway, we are next to Fujian here, so many mountains! Drill into the mountains, and when the government finds out, it will be too peaceful if they can't find us! When the time comes, they will break up the brothers and go down the mountain to resume their old business, and it will be up to them to live a stable life!"
As soon as this idea came out, everyone was a little moved! Because they know too well the virtues of the Ming Mansion! There are few places willing to do such a thankless task as exterminating bandits! Especially when the bandits don't take the initiative to cause trouble, they will open their eyes and close their eyes! In the end, let the officers and soldiers go into the mountains and take a turn, which is considered a handover!
So several people discussed and discussed, and finally decided on the idea of falling into the grass! And the face nest is ready-made. They had a stronghold in the mountains themselves, a cottage of a gang of bandits who had been exterminated in the early years. Now it has become the starting point for them to store supplies and go down the mountain to plunder! The place is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is not a problem to hide a thousand people!
Immediately after the decision was made, someone broke down the mansions of several gentry before leaving, so as to loot the supplies. However, this idea was vetoed by Tan Chunlin. In his opinion, it was more cost-effective to force the gentry to provide them with food information.
After all, once they fall into the grass, the gentry are afraid that they will go down the mountain to play for their lives, and they will definitely agree to their conditions. And they don't plan to be bandits for the rest of their lives, they plan not to cause trouble, stay in the mountains honestly for a few years, and wait until things settle down so that they can change their identities and go down the mountain, and then they will need these gentry.
So these people immediately took action, first sending more than half of their men into the mountain to strengthen the cottage and transport supplies. The other part is packed at the bottom of the mountain. Tan Chunlin went to negotiate with a few gentry, asking them to provide supplies and information at ordinary times, otherwise they would be ruined!
The gentry naturally did not want to break the net with a group of deflated fish in their eyes, so they agreed to their request. So it took more than a month for the Tan Chunlin brothers to withdraw all the people into the mountains! They thought that they would hide in the mountains for a few years, and when the time came, they would be able to reappear with the help of the gentry!
But they didn't expect that when Liu Haojia was arresting people in Nanjing, would he send people to monitor the situation of various targets? In fact, it really sent someone! So as soon as they moved here, Liu Haojia received feedback there. So he immediately made up his mind to make an example of the chickens! It's just that when he received the news, the new army had not yet arrived, so he just sent some people to spy on it.
