Since ancient times, the people do not fight against the officials. This is an old saying and law handed down from the ancestors of farmers. Now in this time of war, I am afraid it is necessary to add the saying that the people do not fight against the soldiers. Wang Chuang was also a reasonable person.
However, as the power of the Spear Association expanded and he compromised with several groups of bandits around him, Wang Chuang gradually developed towards the level of a gentry. Li Linge in Mengcheng was a successful example. Wang Chuang, who did not know a few Chinese characters, also wanted to
Live a decent life like Li Linge.
With people and money in hand, Wang Chuang first built a deep house and compound, and then sent his two sons to the provincial capital to become foreign students. Wang Chuang, who dressed like a country squire, gradually began to pay attention to his daily words and deeds.
.People who don’t know what’s going on will definitely think that this affable guy is a squire and landlord when they meet Wang Chuang for the first time, but they don’t expect that Wang Chuang is secretly the leader of the Spear Club, and he is a ruthless person at heart.
Tang Cheng tried to lure out Wang Chuang by shooting and injuring several young men from the Spear Club in the street. Unfortunately, his attempt did not work. Those green men had already been beaten to death by Liang Dahu and his men. Tang Cheng was looking forward to it.
But Wang Chuang still didn’t show up. If Wang Chuang didn’t show up, Tang Cheng wouldn’t be able to carry out the following plan. Everyone knew that Wang Chuang was the leader of the Spear Club, but if Wang Chuang didn’t admit it, Tang Cheng couldn’t come and rob them openly.
Wang Chuang's delay in seeing Wang Chuang made Tangcheng anxious.
Wangzhuang fired a gun, and anyone with normal ears could almost hear it. Looking at a group of men gathering in the distance, Tang Cheng, who was a little embarrassed, thought about it. "Disperse in squads and escort these few."
If they dare to resist, they will be shot in public in the street." Being unable to deal with Wang Chuang does not mean that Tangcheng cannot deal with the Spear Club. The entire Spear Club will be uprooted. I believe that Wang Chuang, the leader behind it, will definitely take the initiative to show off.
body.
None of the men from the spear club who came to look out for the news with hidden knives and guns were surrounded by Liang Dahu and his men. There was no need to waste words at all. All he had to do was level up the rifle in his hand, and the green-skinned men who were surrounded were all surrounded one by one.
He knelt down and begged for mercy. The green-skinned men who had been beaten with blood on their faces were completely panicked. The Mengcheng Militia was originally used by the Chamber of Commerce to guard the county. They were similar to the private soldiers of Li Linge's family. These guys from the Spear Association
I was used to being domineering in Wangzhuang, but Who Chengxiang put his foot on the nail board.
0 soldiers from the garrison dispersed according to Tangcheng's arrangements to arrest the spearmen who were in Wangzhuang. The originally peaceful Wangzhuang was turned upside down for a while, with doors kicked, curses and cries everywhere. Riding on
Da Qingma's Tang Cheng was wandering around the village with a squad of soldiers left by Liang Dahu. It seemed that Tang Cheng was wandering aimlessly, but in fact he was looking for the location of Wang Chuang's family. Judging from the current situation, this
Wang Chuang must be planning to be a coward. The whole Wangzhuang has been turned upside down by Tang Cheng. Wang Chuang is still able to take advantage of his anger. Tang Cheng has to admire this man's government.
"You only need to remember one thing, you are a soldier and he is a bandit. As the old saying goes, soldiers and bandits have been the same family since ancient times, but bandits can never defeat soldiers." Tangcheng on horseback thought of Liu Yangyang before leaving.
That sentence I specially explained. Robert who raised Tangcheng was not a pedantic person, so Tangcheng also heard Robert say it more than once, until Tangcheng met Liu Yangyang and followed Liu Yang.
Goat fled Nanjing all the way to Mengcheng, and then he truly understood what it meant to be a soldier and bandit family.
"Company commander, Wang Chuang's house is just ahead." The soldier in charge of leading the way pulled Tang Cheng's reins and pointed in the direction of Wang Chuang's newly built house. Tang Cheng, who was on horseback, narrowed his eyes and looked at this house.
Looking at the large house with red paint and the two stone lions outside the gate, Tang Cheng almost laughed out loud. Tang Cheng, who had stayed in Peiping for five years, did nothing else but spend the whole day with himself.
Friends walked through the streets and played in the alleys of Beiping City. Peiping people’s love for courtyard houses directly affected Tangcheng. Wang Chuang’s move of placing two stone lions outside the gate was nothing, but he shouldn’t
Make the two stone lions exactly the same.
"This is a local rich man, a local rich man." Looking at the closed gate of the Wang family compound, Tang Cheng's eyes were full of contempt and disdain. He was a bandit with a dark heart, but now he wanted to be a squire and spend money
After building such a big house, I had to find someone knowledgeable to give me advice. I spent money but built a nondescript house. Fortunately, Wang Chuang still dared to call himself a squire. He rode around the Wang family's house.
Circle, the only thought in Tang Cheng's mind is that the courtyard wall of the Wang family mansion is high enough. The nearly 3-meter courtyard wall looks like a walled city. If a moat and a suspension bridge are added to the Wang family mansion, it will look more like it.
If it were the era of cold weapons, the Wang family compound with high walls and thick gates would indeed be an easy-to-defend but difficult-to-attack place. But now it is already the era of hot weapons. If Tangcheng brought the mortar from the garrison,
, it only takes one shot to blast open the door of the Wang family. After taking a final look at the head clearly protruding from the courtyard wall, Tang Cheng turned around and left with the soldiers who followed him. Since Wang Chuang had made up his mind not to show his head, it was with him
There's no point in pestering. Tang Cheng has its own way of forcing this guy to show up.
"Company Commander, we have arrested 63 people. Half of them are not Wangzhuang locals. These are weapons found from their bodies and residences." Returning to the place agreed with Liang Dahu, the soldiers who had returned one after another had already arrived.
They stood in a circle, and the people inside the circle with their hands tied behind their backs and squatting on the ground were the captured spearmen. Tang Cheng, who got off his horse, did not pay attention to the squatting guys, but followed Liang Dahu to check on the soldiers.
After looking at the weapons they had found and looking at the things piled on the ground, Tang Cheng suddenly felt the urge to curse.
More than 60 people were found, but there were less than 10 firearms in this pile of junk. The rest were machetes, red-tasseled guns, etc. Tangcheng actually pulled out a bow. This thing looked like an old man's.
Those who stayed, Tang Cheng doubted whether this thing could kill people. Liang Dahu, who was glanced at by Tang Cheng, smiled sheepishly. The order given by Tang Cheng was to arrest all the gang members who had spears in Wangzhuang and confiscate them.
All the weapons, but most of the soldiers in the 1st company are broken soldiers who escaped from the army. These guys are all veterans. They just want to watch Tangcheng's jokes.
Tang Cheng's age and his rank of second lieutenant are the things that bother these soldiers, but they are afraid of Liu Yangyang behind Tang Cheng, so they don't dare to make it too obvious. They just want to use the opportunity of this clearing spear meeting to
Tang Cheng was embarrassed. Liang Dahu's reaction had already made Tang Cheng feel a little clearer, but this was in Wangzhuang. It was impossible for Tang Cheng to do anything to those soldiers who wanted to laugh at him in Wangzhuang. Everything was wrong.
We have to wait until we return to the Mengcheng military camp before making further calculations.
Holding a crossbow that he dug out from the pile of broken copper and iron, Tang Cheng turned around and looked at Liang Dahu, "Ask who this thing belongs to, and ask if the other party can make a smaller crossbow than this one. If so,
, and took the people back to Mengcheng." The crossbow in Tang Cheng's hand is made of hardwood with a crossbow body and a bow string made of beef tendon. The whole body is as long as an arm. When Tang Cheng was a child, he followed Robert to preach in Shandong.
, seeing people hunting in the mountains with such crossbows, Robert used the reason that Tangcheng was still young and deprived Tangcheng of the opportunity to own a crossbow. Now that he had the opportunity, Tangcheng naturally wanted to have such a thing.
The soldiers who were sent out gradually came back, and more and more members of the Lancers were captured. There were already more than a hundred members of the Lancers surrounded by soldiers, and the garrison was brought back with these guys.
There were all kinds of baggage on the backs of the soldiers. It didn’t take a guess to know that the baggage contained valuables found in those guys’ homes. “Company Commander, what should we do with these people? Over a hundred people have been captured, but Tangcheng
But he never expressed his attitude. After discussing with the other two platoon leaders, Liang Dahu hoped that Tang Cheng would come up with a solution.
"What to do? Of course, bring it back to Mengcheng and wait for the regiment leader to deal with it." Tangcheng has been waiting for Wang Chuang to show up, but this old guy is determined to be a coward. Tangcheng, who is a bit stuck, can only do this.
The people from the Spear Club were brought back to Mengcheng to deal with it, otherwise his company would be disgraced. "Send someone to Wang Chuang's house. Isn't he a famous squire in Wangzhuang? Let's go and borrow his big gun."
Car, load all the things into the car and take them back to Mengcheng with everyone."
"Actually, it's not that troublesome." Liang Dahu came over and muttered in a low voice, "Didn't the regiment commander always say that our garrison has insufficient troops? We might as well incorporate these guys into our garrison. Not only can we kill Wang Chuang
The back route can also solve the problem of insufficient manpower in our garrison. Besides, these guys are all locals and are familiar with the terrain here. If there is a war, whether it is fighting or walking, at least the people who lead the way will not have to worry.
.”
He didn't know why Liang Dahu wanted to help him. Tang Cheng gave Liang Dahu a somewhat surprised look, but the latter was calmly waiting for Tang Cheng to make up his mind and didn't care about Tang Cheng's sideways glance at all, which made Tang Cheng very depressed. Being beaten by Tang Cheng
Of course Wang Chuang, who Cheng has been talking about, cannot possibly not know about Tang Cheng’s arrest of the Changqianghui gang in Wangzhuang. He also knows about the incident where Dao Tiao’s face was wounded by Tang Cheng’s gun, but he does not dare to show his face.
, now Wang Chuang no longer has the heroic spirit of licking the blood of his brothers with the blade of his knife. Now he has been tied up and will never dare to be an enemy of the garrison.
Wang Chuang's avoidance made Tangcheng's bandit suppression operation feel a bit like an anticlimax, but Tangcheng's trip was not without success. At least he added a hundred and ten soldiers to the garrison. Moreover, the soldiers of the 1st Company were in Wang's hands.
The village also got a lot of good things. The spear association's headquarters in Wangzhuang was completely emptied by them. The dozen or so boxes of tobacco that Wang Chuang didn't have time to move all belonged to the garrison.
