Yang Tiesheng and Zhang Yahu led the team into Nandianzi to control the bronze cannons. Song Biao then led the other brothers from the caravan into Nandianzi. When they arrived at the Nandian Inn, the shopkeeper was stumbling and wanted to kowtow with several cooks.
Begging for mercy, Song Biao also waved his hand, indicating that it was all in the past and he didn't want to care about it.
It was very important to go to Niujiabao to take over the village, but there were some things at hand that were also very important. Many brothers were injured, and Yang Sangui's level was limited. Song Biao first arranged the injured in the inn, and he and Yang Sangui cleaned up for everyone.
Regarding the wounds, he also tried his best to ensure that everyone could survive as much as possible, and not to leave this large team due to wound infection or other things.
After picking up so many military medical supplies, I can do some minor surgeries, as well as professional wound sutures.
Basically, Song Biao was in charge, and Yang Sangui helped, cleaning the wound, taking out the warhead, disinfecting, stopping the bleeding, and suturing. The process seemed simple, but it could increase the probability of survival for the injured brothers.
Before modern antibiotics, far more soldiers died from wound inflammation and infection in war than from direct deaths, and the number was even several times the latter.
There were not many new wounded people this time, only five. But for the Song family caravan, which had only forty-two people in total, five new wounded people were quite embarrassing.
After Song Biao had dealt with the wounded, the leading troops of Yang Tiesheng and Zhao Tingzhu returned from Niujiapuzi. The two of them were smiling and extremely happy. Also returning with them were Lao Jintou and Hu Dalin. It happened that the inn was opened to Song Biao.
A table of wine and food was prepared, and Song Biao asked them to sit down and eat together.
As soon as he sat down, Zhao Tingzhu couldn't help but smile and said: "Master, we have really made a profit this time. Liu Tongpao has hoarded 40,000 tons of grain in the village and Nandian Village. I didn't expect it."
Liu Tongpao is so rich, no wonder he can make more than a dozen bronze cannons."
Song Biao felt very strange, so he happened to tear open a pack of foreign cigarettes, and he opened them and distributed them to everyone. Zhao Tingzhu and Yang Tiesheng did not smoke, but Lao Jintou and Hu Dalin did.
Song Biao and Hu Dalin asked: "How come Niujiapuzi has hoarded so much rice?"
Hu Dalin said: "As soon as Liu Tongpao heard that Japan and Russia were going to war, he immediately hoarded food. The Japanese also lent him a sum of money, plus the harvest from the fields, purchased from the county and Tonghua, and
The total amount of grain purchased by force at the local level was more than 40,000 dan. However, at that time, we agreed to sell the purchased grain to the Japanese army and mortgage our ownership of the copper mine to a Japanese bank, otherwise the Japanese would not
Lend him 100,000 silver dollars. The cooperation between the Japanese and Liu Tongpao goes back a long time. Half of our bronze cannons are second-hand goods bought from the Japanese, and the other half are large earthen cannons imitated by ourselves. In addition to
In addition to hoarding food to make money, Liu Tongpao also plans to recruit thousands more refugees to reclaim wasteland in the Laoyinggou area. This is also his old trick. As long as there are refugees, he will recruit a group of them to keep them, and he will reclaim the wasteland in the spring of next year.
"
Song Biao smiled and said: "Liu Tongpao is interesting, but it's a pity that he made me a wedding dress."
Hu Dalin said: "Speaking of which, our Niujia Fort not only has food, but also copper. I made some money by privately casting copper coins in the past, and built the fort very solidly. It is also halfway up the mountain. Master Biao will have such a territory in the future.
, then you can live with peace of mind. With Master Biao’s ability, as long as we leave a hundred people to guard the fort, no one can defeat it. There is also a large copper mine and a small gold pit nearby. The fort is surrounded by mountains, and only the south side
There is an exit like Dian, and there are two thousand fields in Nandian. These are the lands of our fort. If we guard these two places, we will not die of hunger and poverty, and from now on they will all belong to Master Biao."
Song Biao laughed coldly.
After thinking for a moment, he asked with everyone: "I just wonder, Liu Tongpao occupied such a good place, and the county government office and Taoist platform really didn't even respond at all?"
Hu Dalin said: "We give you money every year, not to mention that we have more than a dozen cannons in our hands. Who dares to mess with us? Liu Tongpao is the great mountain master on the road, and the great squire and landowner in the county government office. He has seized the land nearby.
The county government has not let out a single fart in the land of 1,400 square meters. These days, as long as we have guns and cannons in our hands, and you have the ability like you, Mr. Biao, no one dares to provoke you."
Song Biao sighed and thought, the old society and the new society are the same.
Zhao Tingzhu sent another brochure to Song Biao, registering some of Niujiabao's existing assets and supplies. The fourteen cannons were the most majestic, eight earth-made copper cannons, and six second-hand four-pound field guns bought from Japan.
As for artillery, more than 60 rifles were surrendered in the fort, most of which were old Murata Type 18 rifles. There were more than 20 boxes of Murata Type 22 8mm ammunition and more than 100,000 rounds.
Because a large amount of money has been used to hoard food, there are only more than 400 taels of gold and more than 7,000 silver coins left in the bunker. However, the 40,000 dan of food was worth 600,000 silver coins even in previous years.
Three or four times is normal.
Although Liu Tongpao cannot be compared with Zhang Zuolin twenty years later, there is a huge gap, but among the bandits in the Northeast at this time, there are really not many Shanye who can have such a net worth, only about three thousand
Feng Linge, a brother with many names, can be regarded as a higher level. After all, with the help of the Japanese army, he robbed dozens of Russian army carriages of arms and supplies.
Song Biao drank a small glass of wine and couldn't help but sigh: "It's a pity that twenty-seven years of hard work have been wiped out in one go, and Qingqing's life has also been lost. We must learn from this, and money
No matter how many there are, it is not as practical as having more guns, more cannons, and more people.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the other brothers clasped their fists and said, "The master taught me a lesson!"
Song Biao nodded slightly, but this time he really made a lot of money. Hunjiang River is not far from Fengtian Mansion. He estimated that if Liu Tongpao didn't take action earlier, Zhang Zuolin would take over sooner or later, or else he would be taken over by Zhang Zuolin.
Meng Enyuan, the governor of Jilin, was eaten, unless Liu Tongpao came to wash his hands in a golden basin early.
Thinking of this, he very carefully said to several brothers: "We are not short of silver, guns, or food right now. What we are short of now is people. Tie Zi, you can find a way to recruit another group.
The local brothers in Hunjiang adopt the method of the Hunan Army and the Japanese in their organization. Twelve or three people are organized into a sentry, with a sentry commander, and a team with three or more sentry posts. If you have six sentries here, you can first start from the stockade.
We will recruit some experienced and strong young people here, and recruit a group of miners and local people to also fill up the six sentries."
Yang Tiesheng and Zhao Tingzhu nodded one after another and said: "I understand, don't worry, the boss."
Song Biao continued to talk to Hu Dalin: "Master Hu, since you have followed me, as for your past, it doesn't matter whether it is right or wrong. From now on, you will be a captain like Zhu Zhu and Tiesheng. You will never
We will select more suitable candidates in our village and set up our own six-post team and a fourth team. From now on, just listen to me in everything, and don’t have any other worries."
Hu Dalin was overjoyed and said: "Thank you very much for your trust, the master. From now on, I, Hu Dalin, will only work with the master."
Song Biao nodded slightly and said to several people: "Yahu's side is still considered the third team. I will explain it to him clearly when he comes back from the village. I plan to let Lao Jintou, Sangui, and Ergou form another fifth team."
, responsible for chores and logistics. I have to say something when I sit here today, I am the one who wants to do big things. If you follow me, it is best to give up the idea of bandit Shanye as soon as possible. I am always the biggest in this team, and all of you are
They are my brothers, and even more so, my subordinates. The world is in chaos now, and as long as you all listen to me and we brothers unite as one, we will definitely accomplish great things in the future."
Zhao Tingzhu and Yang Tiesheng immediately clasped their fists and said, "Master, we all listen to you."
