Just after noon the next day, a large group of people suddenly appeared in the north of Yushan County, causing a huge sensation among the residents of the small town. Thousands of people rushed out of their homes and rushed to the north of the city. Men, women, old and young crowded on both sides of the narrow stone street, leading their necks.
Looking around, he saw hundreds of armed security forces officers and soldiers, and a moving team of more than 200 strongmen from Dongjiazhai in Wumailing passing by. Everyone was so shocked that they could not close their mouths.
"Look! It's really Boss Dong and Mr. Yuan from Wumailing who have surrendered. All these strong men from the stronghold have followed the military masters from the security team down the mountain!"
"Look at this, everyone is carrying heavy loads and carrying heavy bags and sweating. They must have walked nearly a hundred miles of mountain roads..."
"Huh? Why are Uncle Dong and Second Master Yuan nowhere to be seen? They are just little minions..."
"It seems that they were all forced by the military masters on both sides with guns. I didn't see the strong men carrying the burden, all of them were crying like their own fathers were dead..."
"Don't talk nonsense! General Gu is powerful in all directions. His soldiers have experienced hundreds of battles. They defeated the generals of the Anhui Army, Sun Chuanfang, and the General of the Zhilu Army, Zhang Zongchang. They are all hiding. How can the strong men in the mountains dare to resist?"
"
"Yes! I heard Uncle Qi say yesterday that General Gu and his men have strict military discipline and have never committed any crimes. They have never bullied our common people. They have been stationed in the county for so many days and have not officially sent troops to attack the mountains. What they pay attention to is tolerance and morality.
people……"
…
At this moment, Gu Changfeng paid no attention to the comments from the outside world. He crossed his legs and leaned on the chair of the county government office to drink tea leisurely. He listened carefully to the report of the adjutant Wang Xulun. After listening, he nodded with satisfaction and praised in a low voice:
"They come and go without a trace. Lao Ding and the others are getting better and better. There is only one sloping mountain road up to Dongjiazhai. It is said that one man can block it and ten thousand men cannot open it. However, they captured it in less than two days.
This is the skill! They are much more attentive than us, and I might not be as beautiful as him."
"Brother, this is incomparable. They are all experts of all kinds who are the best in a hundred. Aren't our brothers also selected by their special forces? Dozens of the best are selected by their special forces? It's just the money spent on the equipment of hundreds of brothers in their brigade.
It’s comparable to the cost of a division of an ordinary army.” Wang Xulun said unconvinced.
Gu Changfeng stood up in a hurry. He was about to teach him a few words, but when he saw the disapproval looks on the faces of the brothers around him, he thought about it and asked Wang Xulun:
"Are you not convinced? How about I also give you two teams of 150 special elites? If you can trek 120 kilometers of mountain roads in three days, find the bandit's nest and kill more than 300 stubborn bandits.
Catch them all in one fell swoop, burn the dangerous bandit den that has been in operation for more than ten years to ashes, punish the culprits, and let more than two hundred followers honestly carry the wealth they have accumulated for many years down the mountain to surrender, and retreat quietly without any casualties, I will admit you
They don’t have to be bad!”
"this……"
Wang Xulun saw the accusing look in Gu Changfeng's eyes, and immediately woke up. Thinking carefully about the difficulties, the jealousy in his heart disappeared. He lowered his head in sincerity: "Brother, I am arrogant. I will definitely remember what I taught you today."
.”
Gu Changfeng nodded with satisfaction and ordered to the ashamed-looking attendants and guards around him: "What are you doing standing still? Go and prepare your horses, and let's go to the back mountain intersection to the north and have a look. If I guessed correctly, I'm afraid there's something there.
It’s full of people.”
"yes!"
…
Hundreds of onlookers gathered at the Houshan intersection in the north of Yushan City, squeezing the already narrow gravel road. Many people from the county town still came after hearing the news.
Among the crowd of onlookers were passing merchants from various places, villagers in the mountains and nearby residents. Everyone looked at the ferocious human heads hanging high on hemp ropes between several big trees on the north side of the road and counted them carefully.
, there were more than fifty, which was really scary.
There were exclaims and shouts of people on the road, some were scared and some were excited, and most of them were gloating about the fun, "Isn't that Uncle Dong, the big boss of Wumailing?" "...The one in the middle must be Yuan Erye Yuan Zhijie
"My head turned into ashes and I recognized him." "I didn't expect them to be here today, God has eyes! It's so happy..."
There was a sound of horse hoofbeats, and someone shouted "General Gu's men and horses are coming." Everyone looked at the horse team galloping from the direction of the county seat, and quickly stepped aside to make way for a passage.
Gu Changfeng rode up on his horse, surrounded by his two deputies and guards, reined in his horse in front of a group of heads, looked at it carefully, and laughed heartily:
"Boss Dong and Yuan Laoer! You didn't expect to end up like this, did you? Huh! You guys just blocked the road and robbed, but you took both black and white, committed all kinds of evil, robbed civilian women, killed innocent people indiscriminately, and made the world angry and resentful.
, with only a few things in his belly, he is still unruly, he thinks very highly of himself, and thinks that I am the best in the world if I occupy a poor mountain. No one can do anything to you, are you dumbfounded this time? Do you know what it means that a mountain is more powerful than a mountain?
The mountain is high...
Folks, my name is Gu Changfeng. I would like to thank the folks for their strong support to my bandit suppression force over the past few days. Gu is deeply grateful! In order to eliminate banditry, give peace to the folks in a radius of hundreds of miles, and provide law-abiding common people for merchants and merchants.
Providing safety guarantees, Gu will stay and keep working hard until the matter is completely completed!
On behalf of the Jiangxi Provincial Government, the Jiangxi Provincial Security Command and the 100,000 soldiers stationed in various garrisons, I would like to sincerely thank the folks for their strong support. Thank you! Goodbye..."
As he spoke, more than a dozen horses neighed and rushed towards the county seat. The cold wind was more bloody and murderous. The people started discussing excitedly. This said, "General Gu is a famous Northern Expedition general in the country and will definitely do what he says."
, who said, "When a robber meets the powerful General Gu, he is like meeting his own ancestor." All kinds of anecdotes and rumors about Gu Changfeng and the security team immediately became popular and spread quickly to all directions.
Few people have noticed another meaning in Gu Changfeng's words, which is that he officially issued a warning to the bandits in nine mountains and eighteen villages within a radius of two hundred miles, and skillfully infiltrated public opinion to establish himself on the basis of justice, morality and power.
On the high platform, the deterrent force produced far exceeded people's expectations.
On the afternoon of the next day, the leaders of the three cottages led more than 700 people into the county military camp, surrendered their guns, and were immediately generously comforted and warmly received by Gu Changfeng and the security force officers and soldiers. As the blazing bonfire burned,
From then on, more than 400 young gangsters who were willing to change their minds and join the revolutionary army drank and ate meat happily. The elderly and infirm people also received five yuan each to go home and do good deeds, and let the past go.
Another day later, at around ten o'clock in the morning, twelve green military trucks delivered a large amount of ammunition and supplies, dragging more than 400 recruits who had just changed into black security uniforms to old Nanchang for training.
Gu Changfeng, who was still overjoyed, ordered the officers and soldiers of two companies to drive to the wide wasteland in the north of the city, and performed rifle, light machine gun, mortar and machine gun live fire for thousands of villagers in Yushan County, making the people in the city and the surrounding area ten miles away.
The folks in Baxiang had their eyes opened and they shouted that they were satisfied. Hundreds of aspiring young people rejoiced and resolutely signed up to join Gu Changfeng's army.
Gu Changfeng was overjoyed. He did not expect that the deterrence of the bandits would have such an unexpected effect. When the former model battalion recruited soldiers in Tonggu County, he copied them all, wearing red flowers and banners, and sent them to the villages that sent the most soldiers.
Certificates and bonuses were awarded, and opera troupes from the county and surrounding areas were invited to set up high platforms to perform every day. The political team sent by the old Nanchang Non-commissioned Officer Base tried their best to make the small Yushan County town more joyful than the Chinese New Year.
.
Three days later in the afternoon, Gu Changfeng, who was accompanying more than a dozen respected local elders to the theater, suddenly received a report: Master Du of Piaomiao Peak had led more than 400 brothers to surrender.
Gu Changfeng raised his eyebrows after hearing this, happily apologized to the elders present, and personally welcomed him out of the north of the city.
Du Qishan, the leader of Piaomiao Peak Village, saw a dozen horses and more than two hundred well-equipped officers and soldiers running in order from a distance. He gritted his teeth and took off his shirt solemnly, knelt down on one leg, exposed his strong naked upper body, and roared in a low voice.
Said: "Negative thorn!"
"Follow orders——"
The two small village bosses reluctantly placed a bundle of thorns full of barbs on the boss Du Qishan's back. The sharp thorns immediately penetrated into the broad skin of Du Qishan's back, and droplets of blood slowly appeared on his muscular back in the blink of an eye.
The blood flowed down and soon gathered together to form flowing blood stains.
The smart, tall and thin little leader on the left felt sad. He quickly turned his head and heard the sound of horse hooves getting closer. He looked up and saw clearly that Gu Changfeng on the horse was not wearing a helmet or military cap. He was wearing a flowing black cloak.
Zhaozhan, his eyes were like lightning, his face was as cold as frost, and his whole body was majestic and full of murderous intent. The little boss was shocked and shouted loudly: "Master Gu is here! Salute-"
"Master Gu——"
Hundreds of people knelt down and sang the promise loudly.
Gu Changfeng shook his head and smiled, dismounted, took a few steps forward and helped up Du Qishan, who was kneeling in front of him: "Old Du, what are you doing? You haven't been seen for more than three years?"
Du Qishan did not dare to look at Gu Changfeng. He tilted his head, closed his eyes and said painfully: "Senior Brother Gu, little brother... I have come to apologize for you!"
Gu Changfeng had already clearly seen the large bundle of thorns behind Du Qishan, and immediately took his cold hands and blamed him:
"Look, why do my brothers need to do this? Lao Du, don't you know my temper? Didn't you just kidnap two foreigners? You didn't hurt them, and you also sent someone to kidnap them the night before yesterday.
The ransom and the two foreigners' belongings were returned. It's not a big crime. Aren't foreigners human beings? They may not be more valuable than us Chinese. You are too...
Lao Du, in ancient times, it was not winter for General Lian Po to stand on a bush to plead guilty, and he only had two short pieces of wood tied to his back. It was just a joke. How could he have a real guy with a bunch of barbs on his back... You two
Why is your grandson still standing there? Why don't you help your elder brother to untie him quickly?"
"Yes, yes..."
The two little bosses standing behind Du Qishan hurriedly took off the heavy thorns on the boss's back and threw him to the side of the road. One of them quickly wiped the blood stains on the boss's back with his dirty sleeves, and everyone sighed in relief.
After taking a breath and thinking that everything was fine now, Du Qishan suddenly turned around angrily and pointed his finger like a halberd at the fourth leader who took two steps back in fright and asked loudly:
"Fourth! You are so stupid that you say you are educated, but you have to tie up such a big bundle to show your sincerity. Listen to what Senior Brother Gu said? I'll fuck you..."
"Brother, please calm down! I don't know, I don't know. It was all told by the teacher who was let go at noon yesterday. He said that you have to bear a thorn to plead guilty. As the name suggests, you have to tie a large bundle of dry thorns with barbs to count. I think he has it."
Culture, and it sounds like that, so I thought it was really like this... I'm sorry, brother, I guess we've all been plotted by that old man with a grudge..." The tiger-headed fourth master waved his hands around and explained continuously.
.
Gu Changfeng couldn't help laughing loudly after hearing this, and the officers and soldiers who were waiting behind him couldn't help laughing. The hand holding the gun trembled with laughter, which made Du Qishan blush with embarrassment. Fortunately,
The large short beard on his upper lip and cheeks concealed his ugliness. He hated it in his heart, but it was not easy to express it in front of Gu Changfeng and hundreds of officers and soldiers.
Gu Changfeng took off his cloak, covered it on Du Qishan, took his hand and walked towards the war horse like an old brother reunited after a long separation, which moved the anxious Du Qishan deeply.
Gu Changfeng pulled him to Wang Xulun and others and introduced loudly: "Lao Du, this is my brother Wang Xulun, a rising star on the Hunan, Jiangxi, and Hubei provincial roads. You must have heard of Lao Du; this man was once a subordinate of General An's independent division.
Battalion Commander Wang Huanyan is now working with his younger brother, Lao Du, you must have heard of the 'Southern Yunan Brocade Leopard', right?"
Wang Huanyan, whose face was pockmarked, was smiling and saluting with his fists clasped: "Wang Huanyan of South Henan is saluting Brother Du!"
"Oh, oh! Brother Xulun, brother Huanyan, we have long admired our names!" Du Qishan hurriedly returned the gift, shocked in his heart. He did not expect that the famous boss Gu, who was famous all over the country, had ruthless people who were famous all over the world.
Wang Huanyan nodded and grinned: "Hurry up and get on your horse, Brother Du, it's a rare occasion. We brothers are going to have a good drink tonight and we won't come home until we get drunk!"
After a burst of laughter, more than 300 minions wearing various clothes and carrying long rifles, muskets and ghost-headed knives ran forward in a chaotic manner behind the cavalry. Behind them, more than 200 well-trained security forces soldiers walked in neat steps.
The tiger and the tiger create the wind, forming a sharp contrast between the front and the back.
The machine gunner who was running in front of the neat line of officers and soldiers couldn't help laughing when he saw the funny running behavior of the minions. This smile made all the brothers behind him laugh heartily.
The company commander turned around angrily and shouted loudly: "Shut up! You guys weren't just a fool back then? These more than 400 brothers have a very good foundation. As long as they train for two months, they will be completely transformed. If they can't do it, they will be completely different."
Many of you are lucky enough to enter Boss Ding's command and become the true king of soldiers. I'm afraid people will turn around and laugh at you! Listen to the command: one, two, one, left, right, left, one, two, three, four..."
"One, two, three, four——"
The commands shouted by the officers and soldiers in unison soared into the sky and echoed in the mountains for a long time. The minions in the front team were startled, and several of them almost tripped and fell down...
