I traveled through time, starting with two acres of land and a dog

There was gunfire everywhere. They had two rifles and flintlock rifles, but they were in a favorable position. Although the enemy was firing densely, they were retreating while firing, and the bullets flew into the sky. Without torches to locate them, they could only shoot at the figures on the road.

After firing 5 bullets and changing the magazine again, the enemy had already evacuated 80 meters away, fleeing in all directions, leaving only the injured screaming.

"No need to chase, stay on guard, guard against sneak attacks, and count the number of people," Du Chenyu asked his second uncle to pass on the message.

After a while, Hu Laosi reported that none of them were injured, but Wu Huacheng fell due to nervousness. Three minutes later, the team gathered and crawled forward, preparing to clean up the battlefield.

The torches were relit to illuminate the battlefield. Four people fell near the grenade explosion, one was a bloody mess, and the other three were not dead yet. One was still sitting on the side of the road with injuries to his thigh, head, and arm. There was a pistol on his waist. This was undoubtedly the captain. Two others were hit by bullets not far away and were lying on the ground.

"Clean up the battlefield immediately and retreat immediately with any prisoners on your back," he ordered.

After collecting all the spoils, including five guns, a few dollars and nothing valuable, my uncle began to retreat with the prisoner on his back.

"Ugh... Ugh..." Not long after they withdrew from the battlefield, several people began to vomit, especially the new recruits who were considered veterans after experiencing this battle.

Half an hour later they arrived at the Luonanya campsite. They decided to take a small path and return overnight to avoid any further trouble.

He took a nap on his uncle's back, and hid the cow and the donkey in a shed. When he got home, the cocks were crowing and the moon was about to set, so everyone fell into bed and fell asleep.

He slept until almost noon, when everyone had gone to work in the fields. He took out his pockets of last night's spoils, which amounted to 6-7 pounds of silver, jewelry, and change, worth about 200 silver dollars. This was the largest operation so far, with rich rewards, but he had to accumulate strength for the time being and should not go out on missions or operations again.

After lunch, all the team members held a summary meeting of this action at home. After the meeting, each person was given two dollars as a reward. There was a plan to expand the team by 5 people, with two dollars as settling-in allowance, three dollars for outstanding candidates, and two months of training.

In mid-June, the Republic of China abolished the Baizhang Pass Inspection Office, established Baizhang County, and changed Wuying Fort to Wuying Township, while all other administrative structures remained unchanged.

When He Cunyi led 10 new team members to strengthen training, Hu Laosi went to Baizhang Pass and gave Teacher Yang Chaoyi 10 silver dollars. He also bought 20 silver dollars of bullets, fuses, and some explosives from him at market prices. He gave silver dollars to Teacher Yang Chaoyi, so that he could move around more easily with the funds in his hands.

With the capital investment, Liu Hewen was in charge of gunpowder manufacturing, and the output increased. Zhao Rui and another worker were hired to assist. With enough raw materials, 10 kilograms of finished products were produced every month, worth 10 oceans. This is the most profitable industry at present, and this is the huge profit of military factories. With the fuse, they made some ignition bombs, but the power was not very strong. Of course, with enough gunpowder, the power would be enough to blast rocks.

Liu's daughter-in-law no longer ran the shop. She and her aunt recruited several women from the neighborhood to specialize in spinning and weaving.

My father invited blacksmith Wang from across the river to open a blacksmith shop in their house to make various farm tools and machetes. He was paid one dollar a month, and his food and accommodation were provided. His legs were a little lame, so he had some difficulty moving. There were usually not many blacksmiths in their house, so they invited him to do the blacksmithing.

Several urgently needed handicraft workshops have started to operate. Although they are still in the initial stage, they can expand their scale with the first step.

The last action in Youfangping was widely reported. Yu Yuedong even sent people to inquire about it, because he also knew about the hatred between the Du family and the Li family at the beginning of the year. He sent his butler Wang Shouyi to inquire about it. After drinking and eating meat, he took Wang Shouyi to visit their training content. Four or five guns were shooting at the same time, and no one missed the target. He didn't say anything, and no one asked about this matter again after he went back.

In early July, Du Chenyu organized a grievance meeting for the team members, telling them about the bullying their families suffered at the hands of the landlords, and writing down the stories. The People's Protection Team avenged him. If they couldn't avenge him now, they would avenge him in the future. After listening to everyone's miserable stories, many people shed tears.

"Brothers, you are all my relatives. Your hatred is also my hatred. I promise that I will avenge you all in the future. I have decided to avenge Wang Quan. You have heard about his story. A butcher was so lawless. The hatred of killing my father and stealing my wife must be avenged, and it cannot be too late. Everyone should strengthen training. After passing the training, the first task is to test the results." He used a child's voice to do propaganda and mobilization.

"Thank you, Master Chenyu," Wang Quan said with a sob.

Through this grievance conference, it is obvious that everyone's spirit has been improved, and they are more united and cohesive. It seems that he needs to find a political worker who is eloquent. Tang Zhihao can be a clerk, staff officer, or teacher, but he is too young to be able to carry out ideological education.

On July 7, after breakfast at 19 a.m., a ceremony was held to formalize the new five members. My father personally led the oath:

"I voluntarily join the People's Protection Team, abide by the team's rules and discipline, resolutely carry out team members' tasks, love the people, regard my comrades as brothers, in order to have food to eat and clothes to wear, defeat all enemies, and be willing to dedicate my life to the new cause. I am so-and-so."

This set of oaths is simple and clear, and he only recently perfected it.

The oath is taken and the new organization begins.

In this operation, Tang Zhihao was responsible for guarding the house. He was rather timid and not suitable for outdoor missions. He was responsible for training new recruits and taking care of the house, leaving a rifle and two muskets back home.

Team leader Hu Laosi also serves as team leader of the first division, and deputy team leader Li Long leads 10 people.

The captain of the second team is He Cunyi, and the deputy captain is Huang Kunyang, who leads 10 people.

Huang Kunyang is also responsible for the team's logistics support and staff affairs.

Two teams of five rifles, two muskets, and one six-gun box gun. Ready to go immediately.

Du Chenyu was still carried by his second uncle, and it took at least 5 hours to get to Wang Quan's house and Huodiya.

Huodi Ya is located at the junction of Wuying Township and Banqiao Township, close to the bandit nest of Chenjiashan. Chenjiashan is full of cliffs and vines, and has been home to a group of bandits for many years. Wuying and Banqiao are unable to eliminate them, and the county is far away. After the withdrawal of the patrol office last year, the bandits of Chenjiashan became more unscrupulous and attacked frequently. The last sneak attack on the Li family was also under the banner of the King of Chenjiashan. In Wuying Township, Yu Yuedong and Wu Weihan are powerful, and Wuying is relatively peaceful.

At noon, they arrived at Huodi Ya, found a place in the woods, set up camp, and Li Long and He Cunyi went to investigate the butcher's family named Lei.

According to Wang Quan, Lei the Butcher had four sons, a wife and a concubine, owned 20 acres of land, and a butcher shop on the street. His family was well-off, and it was said that he paid tribute to the Chenjiashan bandits every year. Relying on the bandits' support, he ran rampant in the village, bullying men and women.

In July last year, Wang Quan was working outside, and his newlywed wife was abused by the drunken Lei Butcher at home. When his wife was shouting for help, his father arrived and was knocked down by Lei Butcher with one punch. His wife took the opportunity to escape outside, but was caught, fell to the ground, and then dragged into the house. Soon the house caught fire, and his wife and father were also reduced to ashes in the fire. He didn't get home until the next day. There was nothing in the house. He thought it was an accidental fire. It was not until March this year that he learned the news from a neighbor's dying old woman that Lei Butcher raped his wife and set fire to his house afterwards. This news was like a bolt from the blue. With no way to take revenge or report to the authorities, he could only wait silently for an opportunity and grit his teeth to take revenge. He complained last time, so he decided to come here specifically to avenge him this time.

He Cunyi came back in the evening and said that the Lei family was holding a birthday party for her father and there were quite a few people.

It seems that we can't act tonight, we can only rest for one night. We have traveled too long during the day, so we have to rest for one day and act tomorrow night. As a result, it rained the next day, so we had to send people out to get information. Fortunately, the rain stopped at noon. The people sent out came back and said that the guests in Lei Butcher's house had dispersed, and there would be a market tomorrow. His second and third sons took someone to the street and left in the morning.

After listening to the report, he thought in the shack about what to do.

It takes two hours to walk from here to the township, and there is no powerful group leader nearby. Why don't you just come to the door in the name of Chenjiashan bandits during the day?

"Captain Hu, assemble the team," Du Chenyu ordered.

At the whistle everyone lined up.

"My plan is that we will visit the Lei family this afternoon in the name of Chenjiashan bandits, enter the house openly and control everyone, move the things over Huodi Pass, and go back through Youfangba. Most of the militiamen in Youfangba were wiped out last time, and no one dares to stop us. Let's see what happens." Du Chenyu said.

"Resolutely complete the task," Hu Laosi answered directly when he saw that no one objected.

"Captain Hu, I won't go, so as not to drag you down. I'll wait for you outside. You can make all the decisions yourself. As for the treatment of Lei the Butcher, you can let Wang Quan decide." He continued.

"Yes," replied Hu Laosi.

Around three o'clock in the afternoon, all the men, with their faces smeared with black cloth and capes on, looking like complete bandits, went straight out of the mountains, and after a few gunshots, they headed straight for the Lei family.

"The bandits are coming down the mountain!" someone saw it and shouted, scaring the nearby people away.

He watched from a distance. After a few gunshots, the dogs became silent. Lei the Butcher even ran out to greet them personally. Soon after, he heard the sounds of chickens and pigs.

An hour later, everyone came out with their pockets filled. This was because he had learned from his previous experience and sewed a linen bag for each person, which was big enough to hold 70 kilograms of food. It was usually tied to the raincoat and taken off when needed.

Another cow was taken away. Fortunately, no live pig was carried back. So they killed it for the meat. Last time, the distance was not far, only two hours, so they could carry it back. This time, they would have to walk all night to get back.

After the team gathered, everyone kept quiet, closed the doors and windows wherever they went, and carried about 50 kilograms per person, so the speed was not fast. After entering Huo Di Ya, it was a small road all the way. There was no conversation along the way, and we rested twice in the middle. It was estimated that we finally got home at three or four in the morning.

The next day, we started cleaning up the bottles and jars. Last time, we brought back a large part of them and basically dealt with them. But this time it was different. Everyone brought back all the metal products like moving house. They filled up an entire room. When everything was almost cleaned up, we started the summary meeting.

Hu Laosi introduced that this operation went exceptionally smoothly. First, Lei the Butcher had his legs broken and was castrated by Wang Quan, and Wang Quan's revenge was avenged.

Secondly, he obtained a bag of silver, jewelry, and half a bag of copper coins, estimated to be worth more than two hundred silver coins. He also took two gold rings from the hands of his concubine and wife, estimated to be worth about one or two taels, with a value of about 200 silver coins.

Third, there were two guns, a musket and a rifle, which he bought for the bandits.

Fourth, there was one cow and two pigs to prevent them from going bad. They had been processed in the morning and one was carried to the street to sell, and there were also 1 chickens.

Several other iron and bronze artifacts.

The harvest this time is also good. We can buy guns and recruit people. We must speed up the process to expand our territory.
