Back to the Republic of China as a commander

Immediately afterwards, on May 5, after several days of intense preparations, the Jingzhou County Council opened, with Chen Hongji serving as the first speaker. Passage on the 1rd, Huitong on the 3th, and Suining on the 5th. On the 7th, new county magistrates were successively elected in various counties, and a large number of former government officials lost their public posts as a result.For a time, Jingzhou Prefecture was in a state of ice and fire, and many people became prosperous overnight, and they were so excited; on the other hand, many people lost their power and fell from heaven to hell.

The great leader has taught us that if the broom cannot reach, the dust will not escape as a rule.So an undercurrent is surging. . .Wang Zhenyu's reform announcement immediately caused an unprecedented sensation in Jingzhou. The village leaders, clan forces and merchants who benefited from the reform applauded and were full of expectations for the reform.

But like all reforms in history, some people are very satisfied and others will be very dissatisfied, because the essence of reform is the redistribution of benefits.

So who is most dissatisfied with Wang Zhenyu's reforms?It is none other than the former dignitaries and local tyrants of Jingzhou Prefecture.As soon as the reform order came out, the original four county magistrates were immediately replaced by county magistrates elected by the parliament. After being elected by the parliament, he followed the county magistrate and became the bureau chief and deputy bureau chief's official).This is simply unreasonable, it's against him, these people who are all evil and businessmen actually want to seize power from him, which is against the teachings of the saints.But when they try to bluff these businessmen again by putting on official positions, I'm sorry, these profiteers are not afraid anymore.They were followed by the officers and soldiers of the Ninth Brigade, backed by guns, and these upstarts could be tough.In desperation, these scholars who had been taught by the sages did not dare to play with this group of unreasonable soldiers. They handed over their official seals, account books, packed their bags, and got out.

No one would willingly give up their vested interests. Except for a few honest people, most people would choose to oppose this whimsical Commander Wang, no matter how many guns he had in hand!

They chose to gather around Wang Dezhi, who was still in office, and racked their brains to plan how to drive away Wang Zhenyu, who seemed to them to be a bit of an outrageous and stinky young man.

beat?When a local tyrant who is accustomed to using force to solve problems proposed this solution, everyone looked at him like an idiot.What a joke, one brigade of the Ninth Brigade can defeat a division in Changsha.Now to fight with those servants in my hands who can only bluff the common people, that is not driving sheep into the tiger's mouth, it is purely courting death.

This suggestion was automatically filtered out from the very beginning, and everyone talked about their opinions, which made Wang Dezhi's brain ache.

There were a bunch of ideas, but none of them worked.

Some people said that they sent people to the provincial capital to file a complaint. They were joking. Others did not know about it, but Wang Dezhi, who had contacts with the provincial capital, knew very well that the relationship between our Commander Wang and Dudu Tan was the most typical example of obedience and disobedience.It may even be more serious, because in fact, Dudu Tan, the nominal chief, didn't even have the courage to issue orders to the devil Wang Zhenyu. The thrilling night of military chaos in Changsha City had already established a bloody image of a man-eating devil for Wang Zhenyu .

Some people said to go to Wang Zhenyu and cry, and Zhizhou Wang Dezhi held such a view.But then someone clearly told everyone, stop dreaming, you just thought it was the reform that Chen Hongji and others fiddled with?The gossip, from the beginning to the end, was made by this ruthless Commander Wang in everyone's eyes.

I really underestimated Wang Zhenyu. I didn't expect him to have such political ideas and skills, and he was so proficient in playing the game of pulling one faction against another faction.

Wang Dezhi has also stayed here in Jingzhou for more than 30 years. He has to tell everyone sadly that it is tantamount to a dream to openly oppose our Commander Wang.Why? Just listen to Wang Dezhi and Wang Zhizhou to give you an analysis: "Colleagues, some of you here are old friends of Wang, and some are subordinates of Wang. There are some things that Wang should do his best to take care of. This is also reasonable. But now It is different from the previous dynasty, many things have changed, and we people have lost the support of the past. To put it bluntly, Wang is no different from you. If you don’t know what happened, you have to hand over your official seal and go home to farm. Now It is the general trend of the world, and it cannot be reversed by me and others, so Wang is here to advise everyone that today is different from the past, and stop thinking about it. Our Commander Wang is different from those indifferent magistrates in the past. There is strength here, so we are not afraid of us playing tricks; and they also have political means. This political reform has pulled the entire merchant group over. In other words, they have already drawn our salary. There are no strong soldiers outside. If you have no money, even if you are dissatisfied, what are you going to use to fight our Commander Wang? So I would like to advise you one last thing, you must have a correct understanding of the situation. Losing an official is a trivial matter. If you lose your life, then It's not worth it."

Wang Dezhi's meaning is very clear, this Commander Wang, we can't fight, everyone should go home early, wash up and sleep.

If everyone can accept Wang Dezhi's persuasion and swallow their anger, the turmoil caused by the political reform will probably come to an end here.But there are people in this world who don't know how to live or die.

Huang Jianxiong, a native of Jiangdong, Jingzhou, was born in a poor family. He was stubborn since he was a child. He didn't like reading.After adulthood, he is good at sociability, but at the same time has a vicious personality. He hangs out in the Jiangdong area for many years and becomes a tyrant.

There is nothing surprising about the above experience, it is nothing more than a rogue, a hooligan, and a shameless person who can beat, eat, and kill his sister. In any era, there is no shortage of such things in any place.So this is not a human specialty, it can only be regarded as a pig specialty, sorry for insulting pigs.

But as the saying goes, times make heroes.They are also rogues, if they are placed in Shanghai Beach, they may become a tycoon.In the 80s, China was probably severely cracked down. Those who were lucky went to Xinjiang to eat sand, and those who were almost unlucky got a peanut, and the peanut had to be bought by the family.

Huang Jianxiong, who was wrongly named Yellow Wolf, was such a bastard who caught up with the good times. The bureaucracy in the late Qing Dynasty was extremely corrupt, but no matter how shameless the government was, it would try not to pull the last piece of fig leaf.So many shady things were left to rogues like Huang Jianxiong to take care of them.

Huang Jianxiong's ability to do bad things may really be a talent, there is no immoral thing that no one can do, and this person is the most typical bad boy among the local population.How bad is it? In order to please Shangguan, he even bullied his own relatives.

After a long period of time, Huang Jianxiong, who is good at handling things and is good at drilling camps, changed his shotgun and became a headhunter, who is today's Public Security Bureau Chief.So the rotten boy became an official, and the crow naturally became a phoenix.It can be seen from this that the Qing Dynasty will not perish, and the laws of nature cannot be tolerated.

In the blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed, and the yellow wolf, which has been prosperous for more than 20 years, suddenly encounters a wolf hunter. . .Overnight, all social status and political glory were taken away by this security commander in his early twenties, and he turned back into a commoner again.Even if grandpa can bear this tone, grandma can't bear it either.

After all, he was born in the underworld, and what Huang Jianxiong believes in is happiness and kindness. He doesn't believe that a man in his early forties can't beat a kid in his 20s.So Wang Dezhi's words entered his left ear and immediately came out of his right ear. Huang Jianxiong's mind is now full of the word revenge, and he can't accommodate anything else.

But anger is anger. Regarding Wang Dezhi's analysis, Huang Jianxiong still agrees with one thing: that is, it may be possible to create a little chaos by relying on those local ruffians and rotten police officers in his hands. The manpower is really not enough.

It doesn't matter, the underworld is the underworld, and when he looks at the problem and thinks about the problem, he can get rid of the shackles of those rules and regulations.

I have been in Jingzhou for more than 20 years, and I dare not say anything else, but I really know friends in these four places, three mountains and five mountains.From Quyang Town to the west, into the territory of Guizhou, there are high mountains and high mountains, and there are as many bandit nests as hornet's nests.After all, there are too many mountains in Guizhou, and it is impossible to feed people with crops. In order to survive, many residents in eastern Guizhou and western Hunan have started the costless business of bandits.

What is particularly worth mentioning here is that there are certain differences in the beards of bandits in western Hunan and southeast Guizhou, horse thieves in the northwest, and beards in the northeast.Except for a few powerful bandits who formed a stronghold to rule the roost, many bandits are actually not much different from the current car bandits and road tyrants.During the day, they are all honest farmers, holding hoes in hand to plant the barren mountain fields, and paying the government's exorbitant taxes; but at night, sorry, they immediately transform into beautiful girls. I opened this road and planted this tree. . . .

However, this route has been a very important commercial route in the past hundreds of years. Tea, salt, tung oil, and pig temples all pass through this route.

It's funny to say that after the Opium War, in order to compete with foreign opium for the market, to avoid the outflow of silver.The Qing government, unable to defeat foreigners, chose to plant opium in Sichuan, Yunnan, and Guizhou to resist foreign tobacco with local tobacco.This is the Chinese government at that time, so shameless, so irresponsible.It is difficult to understand that there are so many film and television dramas in later generations to beautify and praise it. Going back 5000 years, there is no darker era than the Qing Dynasty.

The booming opium business made this ancient tea-horse road more prosperous.

Chapter 075

Xiangxi bandits in history are divided into two categories: one is beaten by our party and our army. In fact, this type is really not a bandit in the traditional sense, but the army who followed Zeng Guofan to suppress the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in the late Qing Dynasty.However, in view of the fact that these Fenghuang military households are ignorant of current affairs and have taken a wrong political stand, they are bandits.The other category is real bandits, but most of these real bandits are composed of good people, to be precise, they are local residents, who rely on mountains to eat mountains and water to eat water.It is reasonable to collect some protection fees by guarding the tea-horse road, so often in a village, all the men are doing this part-time job that is very profitable.And this craft can also be passed on from father to son, from son to grandson.Therefore, Wang Zhenyu has two key points in this political reform. The first is the distribution of profits to commercial towns. Its purpose is to change the village from a force that destroys commercial roads to a force that protects commercial roads.Why did these people want to rob before?It's because he looked at this way of making money but he didn't have a share at all. Now that it's all right, he has a share. Are you pointing to continue to do business without capital, or do you hope that the business will become more stable and prosperous and make a fortune together?

In fact, the bandits in Xiangxi were not very powerful. The Hong merchants' goods were all produced in associations. They set off in the morning, and at noon, the rear team was still in Hongjiang and hadn't left the city yet.When encountering such a large caravan, and also carrying knives and guns and other self-defense weapons, which bandit can be so fierce that he is not afraid of death and robbery.

There is damage in fighting, but now it is different, there is no need to fight, everyone has a share, and the village's slack laborers have a place to work hard.If everyone becomes a bandit again, it will be unscientific and anti-human.

In fact, before Wang Zhenyu's reforms, the powerful bandit gangs were already transforming in this direction.Often, many business gangs will pay a lot of tolls through middlemen, exchange a few flags, and then cross the road calmly, and the bandits are also very trustworthy.Chang Guanfeng stretched his neck forward, took a closer look, yell, there is our king's flag on this car, well, don't do it, call it a day.

Huang Jianxiong is such a middle-of-the-road character, and has dealt with these bandits for more than ten years.

Huang Jianxiong figured it out, Wen Dou was no longer Wang Zhenyu's opponent, so he naturally had to play martial arts that he was good at.The key to martial arts is to have enough strength, and these bandits are the key, so he quietly left Jingzhou to meet those friends from three mountains and five mountains.

It just so happens that these friends are also very depressed recently, why?It was also because of Wang Zhenyu's political reforms.

As mentioned above, after the political reform, the big cake of commercial roads has been enlarged, and the villages in the whole county have the hope of getting a piece of it.Therefore, the amateur players who used to have close contacts with these professional bandits have chosen to wash their hands and be good.Not only will you no longer provide information on the caravan in a timely manner, but you will even clearly inform the other party that in our territory in the future, you'd better not show yourselves, lest everyone will not show friendship and hurt the peace.

This can make a group of mountain kings very angry, these are all magical things!cut him.

The man Huang Jianxiong was looking for was Yang Shouyin, a bandit named Dilong, in his early fifties, thin, but also very energetic, but his reputation was very mediocre.You can tell by looking at this bandit number, the meaning of entering the ground dragon is to run fast, but being a bandit is not playing poker after all, you will not only not win if you run fast, but you will also be laughed at.

But it's not all bad, the bandits of the same generation survived.Therefore, he can be regarded as an old man in the arena. Huang Jianxiong chose to find him, hoping to use his status in the arena to entangle as many people as possible, so that he can be more confident. . .

Yang Shouyin, with gray hair and beard, also noticed the recent wind direction, and knew that if Wang Zhenyu, the cross-river dragon, was really allowed to gain a firm foothold in Jingzhou Prefecture, his brothers' jobs would definitely be ruined, and there would be no other choice but to go back to farm. The road is optional.But when it comes to business, it’s all about methods.

"Brother Huang, you want this old man to kill officials and rebel. Even if I think about our friendship with Nian, if this old man is willing to agree, the brothers under him may not be willing to go." Yang Shouyin was very reserved, but told Huang Jianxiong, take advantage of it, otherwise nothing will be discussed.

Huang Jianxiong didn't understand this routine at that time, he chuckled and said, "Your prestige is not unanimous. And when the time comes, brother, I will support you in the city, so why worry about a big event? Of course, such a big event can't be let go." Brothers, you have worked hard. I dare not promise anything else. After entering the city, we will rob for three days, and the treasury will belong to Brother Yang. And if the brothers in Jingzhou are in charge in the future, it will be the territory of their own family. If you have something, you can call. In addition, Huang Even though he had no money left, he and his colleagues gathered [-] oceans, which is a thank you to all the brothers in advance." Yang Shouyin really saw the money, and immediately said happily: "Brother Huang is really a straightforward person, so it's settled. The exact date of the attack will be discussed after I summon the bosses from all walks of life. How about it?"

Huang Jianxiong was overjoyed immediately, cupped his hands and replied, "But according to the arrangement of my elder brother..."

Huang Jianxiong is also considered a character, not only a bandit, he also found a magic soldier, the so-called magic soldier is also a force in western Hunan.Some people who believe in Taoism believe that after drinking the talisman water, they will be invulnerable, so they have joined the army of the Taoist organization. These troops are magic soldiers.It is precisely because of the magic weapon that Taoism has gradually become the mainstream religion in western Hunan.It's a pity that under the cloak of religion is still greed and shamelessness, so Huang Jianxiong borrowed three thousand magic soldiers very easily.

All of a sudden, in the small prefectural city of Jingzhou, wind and rain gathered from all directions, and the world was unpredictable. . .

Wang Zhenyu didn't know that he had been plotted against. He was very busy in the past week, running around the four counties. Wherever the parliament opened, our Commander Wang appeared there.The essence is to go to cheer others up, take a photo with the newly elected county magistrate, have a meal, congratulate and catch up with the next one.

For a full week, Wang Zhenyu ran around the counties below. While getting acquainted with each other, he was very dissatisfied with the county construction of the counties under his control.

It doesn't matter if the city is small, and the population is small, so you don't care, but you have to pay attention to basic drainage and sanitation; you have to have complete medical care and education.Otherwise, living in the countryside is the same as living in the city, why would others live in the city!

When Wang Zhenyu and Chen Hongji, who accompanied him, talked about this issue, they also pointed out: "Urban construction needs to be planned. It is better to be more ambitious, the road surface can be wider, the ward beds can be more, and the scale of the school can be bigger. "Drainage and sewage should be separated if conditions permit, don't make a small mud ditch, everything will be drained into it, if it is blocked and no one will clean it, when the weather is hot, all kinds of diseases will emerge."

The accompanying county magistrate and councilors were taken aback by Wang Zhenyu's words.Apparently, this gun-playing Commander Wang's experience in urban construction is much higher than those of himself who claim to be proficient in making a living.

It was already mid-May when we returned to Jingzhou, and the weather started to turn hot.Ma Xicheng, who was in charge of military supplies, suddenly asked to see him. Wang Zhenyu knew the temperament of this cousin very well, and knew that since he was in charge of military supplies, he would definitely not come to see him unless there was an urgent matter.

Surprised, Wang Zhenyu summoned Ma Xicheng immediately.

"Commander, someone is going to murder you." Ma Xicheng's first words shocked Wang Zhenyu and his friends.

It turned out that when Ma Xicheng was purchasing materials, he got an amazing news from a businessman who had been supplying military supplies for a long time.The bandit leaders in Hunan and Guizhou are all joining together now. It is said that it is a leader named Yang Shouyin who plans to join forces to take down Jingzhou County.Although the news has not been confirmed, businessmen with extensive contacts have received a little wind.

Ma Xicheng's gossip immediately attracted Wang Zhenyu's attention. From the beginning of this political reform, Wang Zhenyu estimated that there would definitely be people with extreme personalities who would choose to take risks after losing their benefits.According to the analysis of this news, some people are already doing this, and they have chosen the most dangerous path to collude with bandits.

After the wolf extermination operation, Li Zongren took over as the acting captain of the teaching team, and Song Haomin served as Wang Zhenyu's deputy major.After thinking for a while, Wang Zhenyu called Song Haomin in and asked him to invite Zhao Dongsheng and Liu Xing.Originally, He Jian was the most suitable candidate among his subordinates for this kind of conspiracy, but this old boy was sent to Hongjiang to lurk by himself, and he was not around.So he thought about it, and called Liu Xing, who had no specific errands yet.

It has been more than a month since Liu Xing arrived in the Tiger Brigade, and Wang Zhenyu didn't bother to arrange errands because of the complicated affairs.However, Liu Xing was quite open-minded, after all, he had escaped from death, and he was much more open-minded than ordinary people in many things.So although he didn't have a specific errand, he was in charge of the staff, and with the rank of major, he would go to Yang Wangui's brigade staff to report every day.After a long time, Yang Wangui also noticed him, and began to consciously arrange some work for him, including the training, attendance, equipment and other aspects of the various combat units.To Yang Wangui's surprise, Liu Xing handled these tasks very well, not only thoughtful, but also many ideas were very special.Therefore, when Yang Wangui reported to Wang Zhenyu last night, he mentioned this person, and Wang Zhenyu paid attention at that time.
