In ancient times, the beggar gang was divided into two factions, the clean and the dirty, the dirty clothes gang was an authentic beggar, who lived by begging along the street, and did not enter the powerful and did not make money;

Although, in short, the real workhorse of the beggars is the Dirty Clothes faction who have no one to rely on. But looking at it, such a large gang would be too foolish to make ends meet by just begging. Therefore, the operation of the beggar gang is mostly maintained by the various commercial businesses of the Pure Clothes Sect.

Dong Cunfu, the former helmsman of the Righteous Helm, is an out-and-out clean clothes faction. He was born in a wealthy family, his mother's family was a land squire, and his father's family was the son of an official eunuch, so the two clans were united, so that the family had some assets.

When he was a teenager, Dong Cunfu didn't like to study to gain fame, and he just wanted to walk the rivers and lakes and act chivalrous, and by chance he met the already famous beggar gang elder Lu Shuying, and was impressed by his chivalrous and courageous, affectionate and righteous personality, so he resolutely joined the beggar gang.

Later, Lu Shuying lived up to expectations and became the leader of the beggar gang in the name of righteousness, and the subordinates who followed him naturally succeeded in sitting in each position and shared the responsibility of maintaining the operation of the gang.

The rudder of righteousness is divided into "business". If this matter is done by the dirty clothes faction who only knows how to fight ruthlessly, it will definitely be difficult to achieve results, but Dong Cunfu, who was born rich and noble, has some connections in all walks of life because of his superior family background and chivalrous spirit, and he never owes his conscience when he starts business, so whether it is Cao Yun or car transportation, the two waterways are handled by him.

Qi Zehui, who was born in poverty, is an out-and-out dirty faction, so his connections and experience are far inferior to his predecessor's helmsman. Fortunately, all the business channels of the righteous rudder have been self-contained in the years of exchanges, and the distribution of each channel has been carefully and clearly, Qi Zehui is equivalent to sitting back and enjoying the success, and no longer has to run around for the supply of goods and buyers like the older generation of gangsters many years ago.

However, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and every era has its own problems. The stable peace did not last long, and the appearance and slaughter of the red-faced old demon undoubtedly set off a huge wave. Although it has been a few months since the incident, the red-faced old devil has long since disappeared, but the turmoil he left behind is still intensifying, and the newly appointed helmsman Qi Zehui is on the cusp of this kind of gambling as soon as he comes.

The leader of the gang died, the helmsman died, the gang lost, the disobedience to discipline, and the fight was difficult to settle. Recently, the beggars have been unsettled, and they have risen again......

However, the civil strife has not yet calmed down, and those outsiders who honestly nod their heads and bow their heads on weekdays have begun to move again: the territory has been encroached upon, the goods on both sides of the waterway have been seized for no reason, and the surrounding gang forces are testing the depth one by one, although there is room for it, but everyone understands that once the time is ripe, these cunning and treacherous people will pounce like vicious dogs and rush to eat frantically!

The rivers and lakes have never been lovely, and the world is like a jungle. The survival of the fittest is an eternal social law that can never be changed.

Looking at the continuous urgent messages coming from various places in the territory, and watching the gangs in the hall arguing with each other with red faces and thick necks, Qi Zehui, who was sitting in the middle of the hall, slowly opened his eyes-

It's time to fight back!

So, the question is, how to fight back?

He stood up, and in all his spare glances, only one word slowly spat out:

"Hit!"

What a "type" word!

When the brothers in the rudder heard this, they were stunned at first, and then they cheered one after another.

Most of these gangs gathered here are the children of the dirty clothes faction, and they are not very good at it, but when it comes to doing it, they are never vain!

But how to fight and how to fight should be carefully discussed.

After all, in Hongzhou City, many forces have nothing to do with each other on the surface, but the business in hand is imperceptibly interlocked, and many places are all involved in the existence of the whole body.

After all, the manpower of the righteous rudder is limited, and if it provokes others to jump over the wall and besiege it, it will definitely be impossible to escape the end of destruction.

The brothers who were not old enough left one after another, and after a little deliberation, the remaining nine went to the closet. Among them, in addition to Qi Zehui and the five rudder leaders, the other two, one is the respected Song Bo, and the other is the honest and honest Hercules Iron Bull who has already become Qi Zehui's right-hand man.

And the last one is the talent in the helm who has just recently become the deputy helmsman - Dong Gaozai. This person is thirty and five years old, and he is the younger brother of the former helmsman Dong Cunfu, who has average martial arts, but is well-known and courteous, proficient in strategy, and has handled many cumbersome affairs in the helm. Originally a well-behaved scholar, he wrote a good article, because he was a boy when he was young, he was known as "a prodigy", and later inspired to become an official to assist the national government. How could he not be born at the right time, but he couldn't try three times, but he didn't have the opportunity to show his talent, and finally gave up the imperial examination, and instead joined the beggar gang with his brother to engage in business, so he was sometimes teased by the brothers in the rudder, calling him "the first Xiucai", because of his brother, his prestige in the rudder is second only to the helmsman and Song Bo, so he was elected as the deputy helmsman, which is really deserved.

In fact, if it weren't for Dong Gaozai's resolute shirking, Qi Zehui would have given him the position of helmsman a long time ago, despite this, when facing him, Qi Zehui has always been called his brother, Dong Cunfu is the "eldest brother", and calling Dong Gaozai naturally became the "second brother"......

In the inner room, everyone gathered in a circle, and Song Bo, who was in charge of the flowing water paperwork in the rudder, slowly unfolded the drawing, on the drawing, the six most threatening gangs in various counties and towns in Hongzhou, circled and dotted, and jumped on the paper.

The old and calm voice began to speak slowly but forcefully:

"In the north of Hongzhou City, Chen Xinghan, the leader of the gang, is sleek and sophisticated, and he was originally in charge of the transactions of more than 20 grain and oil shops with us, but in recent days, he has delayed the delivery of goods on the grounds that the season is not smooth. ”

"Well," Qi Zehui nodded and asked around, "How is their strength?"

"Up and down the gang, except for the old and young women and children and the foot strength of the merchants, there are about 110 people who can carry them out and slip around. One of the leaders replied.

"That's ......" Qi Zehui groaned slightly, then pointed to another place and asked, "What is this place?"

"In the west of Hongzhou City, the Gongdao Association and my helm share the business of silk and satin cloth, but recently I suddenly found another buyer, and privately distributed our goods to others, and the president's name is Zhou Gongbiao, who is also a miser. ”

"How's their manpower?"

"Will it be fair...... The scale is not very large, probably able to fight, there are about eighty people, right?" The other leader thought for a moment and replied, "This is also the largest of the six gangs, so they only secretly divide the goods, and don't dare to do anything too excessive." ”

Qi Zehui nodded, then looked at Dong Gaozai, who was also thinking on the side, the two exchanged glances, and suddenly fell into deep thought.

......

The other four local giants, after Song Bo's patient introduction, the situation is as follows:

In the east of Hongzhou City, the Xuanwei Association and the Dayi Helm jointly control the agency rights of 16 money banks in Hongzhou, but recently in the name of corruption and dereliction of duty, they forcibly took over the management rights of the money banks. The president's name is Bi Weizhou, who knows martial arts, and there are about 120 brothers under him.

On the outskirts of Hongzhou City, the giant crocodile gang, born as a bandit, controls most of the paths near Hongzhou City except for official roads to collect tolls, and now detains a batch of goods on the grounds of a huge deposit for contraband. The gang leader Fu Dailiang is a martial artist, and his brothers are about 200 people.

On the outskirts of Hongzhou, the Peng Li Gang, a gang across the two major regions of Jiangzhou and Hongzhou, controlled the Yangtze River tributaries next to Pengli Lake, and deliberately connived and secretly instructed their subordinates to rob the merchant ships of the righteous rudder, the gang leader was Wei Jiecheng and Zhang Shu, both of whom knew martial arts, and there were 500 brothers under him, most of whom knew water, but the distribution was scattered, and there were only about 150 people in the Hongzhou area.

In the south of Hongzhou, the Dragon and Tiger Alliance, which shares the business of 38 casinos in Hongzhou with the rudder of Dayi, has recently begun to annex the territory by brutal means, injuring many brothers in the rudder. Kan Fangxu, the leader of the alliance, does not know martial arts, but there are three personal bodyguards hired with a lot of money, all of whom are superb in martial arts......

"This Dragon and Tiger Alliance is also the most tricky and difficult of the six Hongzhou gangs, and there are more than 300 gangs in the alliance, so what they do is also the most arrogant!"

"Second brother, what is the current strength of our righteous rudder?" Qi Zehui pondered for a moment, looked at Dong Gaozai beside him, and asked.

"It's not as good as before...... Dong Gaozai sighed, shook his head and said: "Now there are more than 600 people in total, distributed all over Hongzhou, but only some of them can really be dispatched." Although we have sent people to mobilize during this time, recruited some new people, and returned some old people, there are only more than 180 people who can fight......

"More than one hundred and eighty people...... Qi Zehui couldn't help but squint his eyes, although it sounded like a lot, but if he wanted to rely on these hands to convince these six cunning earth snakes together, it would be difficult to climb it!

Moreover, it can be heard clearly in the dialogue between the people around you, several gangs have collusion with each other, the Dragon and Tiger Alliance and the Justice Association are friendly, the Peng Li Gang and the Giant Crocodile Gang take care of the waterway, and the Evil Gang and the Xuanwei Association are friends, imperceptibly, forming a three-legged trend, sandwiching the righteous rudder in the middle. Therefore, no matter which faction is challenged, it is actually declaring war with the two families!

"Although their friendship with each other is not solid and unbreakable, it is not easy to shake it in a short period of time...... Song Bo sighed.

"And now, what we lack most is time," Dong Gao frowned, "I don't know when, these people will form a group to kill and share our biggest fat!"

"So the dissension plan is useless?" Qi Zehui scratched his hair impatiently, constantly recalling the historical stories told by the gentleman who used to listen to the book, thinking about whether there was any strategy that could be used.

"Helmsman, according to the old man, all in all, the biggest threat now is still worried about whether these six forces will unite...... Song Bo reminded, "Once united, it will be unstoppable like the six countries attacking Qin in the past - but we have neither the danger of Hangu Pass, nor can we separate in a short time, once attacked, it will inevitably become a catastrophe!"

"Yes......" Qi Zehui's other hand also began to scratch his scalp.

Eight people stared at the map in silence, the previous ambition was gone, facing these hard bones that were about to move, although they had the heart, they didn't know where to start, and they didn't know where to start.

"Uh......" The ninth person, the simple strong man Tie Niu, who had been silent before, couldn't help but be very strange when he looked at everyone's gloomy faces at this time. He opened his mouth to think for a moment, and then suggested with a big grin:

"What's so hard about that! Isn't it okay if you don't let them unite?"

"Shhhhhhh

When Qi Zehui heard this, he immediately exclaimed, and said with a smile: "Hahaha! Absolutely, absolutely! We are not as good as Brother Tie Niu this time!"

"Huh?" When everyone heard this, they all looked at each other, not knowing where it was, only the iron bull on the side heard the words, and laughed stupidly again, and he was very happy to hear Qi Zehui's praise.

"We all think about simple things complicated!" Qi Zehui suppressed the excitement in his heart and hurriedly explained: "If you think like this, since you can't let them unite, you must take some strategic measures, it may be difficult to split them into six, but it is very easy to maintain the current three-legged situation!"

"What the helmsman said, does it mean-" Song Bo's eyes gradually bloomed.

"That's good!" Qi Zehui nodded and said: "Just like in the 'Golden Knife Strategy' in the book, Murong Chui and Wang Meng are the same, give a little bit of profit, so that the opponent will lose trust in each other, and naturally there will be no alliance, so that at least you can breathe for a while and then think of a way!"

"The old man understands, let's do it!" Song Bo's eyes lit up, and he immediately understood what Qi Zehui was referring to, greeted the two leaders, and walked quickly towards the door.

"In this way, the first problem is solved!" Qi Zehui looked at everyone with a smile and let out a long breath.

"Since the helmsman already has full confidence in destroying the alliance, then I can send this second difficult plan!" Dong Gao watched Song Bo and his party leave, and then said to the former with a smile.

"Oh?" Qi Zehui was overjoyed when he heard this, "Could it be that second brother, you have already figured out how to give this gang of miscellaneous people a dismount?"

"Naturally," Dong Gao nodded with a smile, and then said to a leader on the side: "Ah Wei, do you think that our righteous rudder is directly facing the Dragon and Tiger Alliance and the Justice Society, can we win?"

The leader was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then nodded and said, "Although the number is less than them, the brothers of the beggar gang are never vain......!

"No," Dong Gao raised his palm to interrupt the former's words, he hooked the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile:

"That's enough......"
