Chapter 21 The head of the ruffian
A middle-aged man who looked Mumunana dragged a rifle with one hand, separated everyone, and asked at the top of his voice: "Is Company Commander You here?"
You Fei recognized him at a glance. He was the middle-aged man who was first mistakenly recognized as a friendly army and claimed to be a bandit. You Fei smiled and said, "This brother, I am You Fei, what advice do you have?"
Compared with You Fei's current troops, the bandits are strong and have high morale. If they fight with these tired soldiers of You Fei, they really can't say who would take advantage of them! So when You Fei saw both sides pointing guns at each other, he didn't mean to blame him, and he couldn't hear much likes and dislikes.
"Let everyone put down the gun! Damn it! I'm still whispering when I see the master." As the middle-aged man shouted, the bandits put down the guns in their hands. It's not clear that this Mu Na's man was actually the leader of these people! "Company Commander You! I'm the leader of these bandits - Sun Qingyun. I'm here to ask you for help. I'll give you my forty-four friends. Don't dislike these people, if you kill the Japanese, you'll beat the other one."
You Fei didn't understand: "What's going on? I thought you were a kidnapping person. I was still thinking, what kind of good can we soldiers have?"
Sun Qingyun blushed and said, "Company Commander You, don't be as knowledgeable as a bandit! I am a rough man and don't understand the rules. Tell me, how can I accept us? Do you want us to make some Japanese heads and submit a letter of fame!"
When You Fei heard this, he was amused and even confessed his reputation. He really treated us as bandits! You Fei deliberately acted as a serious look and said, "You can accept you. But you have explained the matter first, what kind of murder and robbery have you done? Also, how could you be bandits?"
Sun Qingyun said: "I am the leader. All they do are my ideas. I will kill and cut them. I will bear it alone. But my brothers all know that you are sincerely good for the people and are irreconcilable with the Japanese. They all want to surrender to a real man like you. Please accept these brothers. As for the murder and robbery, we have not had time to do it! These beards were pulled up late, so they killed more than a dozen Japanese."
"Oh? Then how can you say you are bandits?" You Fei didn't understand again.
"Ahem!" Sun Qingyun smiled awkwardly, "This is what the county master said. That day the Japanese chased us and almost arrived at the county town. The county master said that we had no organization and were bandits. Not only did we not allow us to enter the city, we would also wipe out us."
"Damn! This dog official dares to go against the people who beat the Japanese, but he is against me. If he has the chance, I will kill him."
Sun Qingyun squeezed out a few soldiers and came to Youfei. At Youfei's gesture, the soldiers did not stop Sun Qingyun. At Youfei's ears, he said, "The county magistrate and the local regiment's garrison ran away! He said he was ordered to retreat. There are several teams in this area now, and no one listens to each other. But you, Company Commander You, are different. You are a regular army, you are recruiting more soldiers and buying more guns, and this place will be yours in the future! The key is that you are willing to fight the Japanese! In my words, the few groups of people who have a grudge against the Japanese must be the only one who follows you."
"Oh?" You Fei raised and down, Sun Qingyun, "Old Sun! Can't you tell, are you quite smart? We're just doing it together!"
"Hehe! It's a recruitment, I'll listen to you. You can say whatever you want?" Sun Qingyun said.
You Fei asked in a low voice: "Lao Sun. Where did you come from to buy a gun? I still have to learn from you!"
"Company Commander! Didn't the rich people escape? I don't think they have any objections to supporting the anti-Japanese war."
"That's right! Haha!" "Hehe!" "Hahaha!" "Hehehehe!"
The two gangs, led by You Fei and Sun Qingyun, laughed randomly for a while. Based on this scene, it was really impossible to tell whether the bandits were reorganized by You Fei, or whether the banditry spirit of You Fei was awakened again.
They joined forces and rushed towards the county town.
In the county town, there is now a militia-style armed force - the Joint Defense Team of the Four County Security County of Su Province. Why are the four counties? It turns out that four counties were separated from the rear by the Japanese. The various armed forces of the four counties communicated with each other and formed several loose joint brigades. The components of these armed forces are very complex, including real bandits and pro-Japanese elements, but there are no formal national army. They mainly concentrate some private security teams hired by the wealthy families. There is no doubt that if the Japanese come to fight this county town, the first one to surrender would be this defense team. However, they are finally still armed by the Chinese, and they still dare not stop a national army like You Fei. After all, what if the Japanese were defeated on the main battlefield?
After You Fei entered the city, the title reported to the outside world was You Fei, the leader of the 137th Independent Regiment of the National Army. He also announced that the four separate counties in Suzhou Province were fully responsible for defense matters. The original joint security defense brigade must now be under the jurisdiction of You Fei, and the brigades of the other three counties can temporarily act independently. All armed personnel here must be reorganized immediately. Those who do not cooperate will be punished for treason.
The Joint Security Defense Brigade was gathered. Given the mixed feelings of fish and dragons here, You Fei fired some people with great public grievances at Sun Qingyun's suggestion, and even some people who didn't look like good birds were fired. Finally, their organization was completely disrupted, and two dissatisfied companies were reorganized with himself and Sun Qingyun's men. He received all guns and ammunition. In this way, You Fei had a unit of more than 300 people. However, this was just the framework of the new unit.
You Fei began to recruit soldiers. He did not take the form of a strong man. In his words, he would definitely not be able to pull people out of the bridal chamber to join the army. You Fei was recruiting soldiers in the form of voluntary registration. Of course, large-scale publicity work must not be done without them. "Every man is responsible for the survival of the country." "Defend the country!" "The Japanese are beasts, dogs and bastards, and they want to take revenge to join the army." "A bloody man picked up a gun and let the Japanese devils live a restless life." Some of these slogans were more eloquent, and some were not eloquent. You Fei said this was closer to the people, and that they would be wiped everywhere in and outside the city.
The people who escaped under the protection of You Fei's troops became free propagandists for You Fei. With the powerful enemies around the world around him, there were really people who volunteered to join the army, and maintained more and more momentum. You Fei felt the support of the people, and finally felt that it was not so unfair to the fact that most of the people sacrificed their horses to protect the people last time, but he just maintained a deep hatred for those who wanted money and life.
While Youfei's troops expanded on a large scale, they did not strengthen much of the defense fortifications in the county. The wealthy families in the county became dissatisfied and formed a gentry to serve the parliament. On the condition of donating wealth to Youfei, they demanded negotiations with Youfei. Youfei happily prepared a banquet to entertain the gentry to serve the members of the parliament. Of course, the cost of the banquet was also paid by the gentry.
The scheduled reception was noon, and the time was almost here. There was a sound of gongs, drums and firecrackers outside the gate of the county primary school where Youfei troops were temporarily stationed. Youfei came out and saw people carrying a few big fat pigs, rice wine jars and other things, blowing and beating. The two of them were holding a banner - serving the National Assembly to comfort the 137th Regiment of the National Army.
"Hahaha! Thank you for your hard work, fellow villagers. I, You Fei, thank you everyone on behalf of the brothers of the National Army."
"Team Leader You, you are polite. The security and defense of the township also depends on the security of the group You and your brothers. Don't be polite!" A man wearing a snow-white goatee was spoken slowly with a gentle and erotic look.
You Fei said, "Please!" and stopped talking, so the gentry walked into the school. You Fei ordered the live pigs to slaughter and eat meat, and carried the wine into them to separate them with all the soldiers. Then he held a wine and meat meeting at the school's playground.
In the original school auditorium, several banquets were placed in one go. The squire sat down with satisfaction and prepared to eat, just waiting for the leaders of both sides to finish the scene.
You Fei coughed gently: "Well! Everyone, You Fei has just arrived at the precious place. You Fei loves me so much. I am so sorry! However, I still want to say ugly things ahead. I will not be ruthless if I don't cooperate or even make trouble. One word - kill! Even everyone here is no exception! Everyone eats food! Hehe! Everyone eats food!"
The gentry's faces suddenly became very ugly. The white-bearded person should be the president and stood up and said slowly and tenaciously: "Captain You, our gentry has served the Congress. This time we brought a total of twenty gold bars, enough for you to buy some property. We paid so much gold and silver in exchange for a word from Leader You. Could it be that the leader You don't need the support of us ordinary people?"
"Hehe! Need! Need! How can you not need it? Just say anything if you have any requirements! Don't go around!" You Fei seemed to be a little polite to this person for the sake of the gold bar.
"Ah! Is this? Leader You, I need to talk to you privately."
"No need, today are the brothers here who have been through life and death with me. If you can come together, you must have discussed what you want to say. If you have anything to say, just say it here!"
"Okay! I can see that the group leader You is a cheerful person. I just said it."
You Fei looked at him with a smile, with a very kind attitude. The gentleman representative had a look of being in control. While thinking that the power of the gold bar was great, he said confidently: "We ask you to keep our property and life from being threatened. You should consider strengthening the city defense fortifications and guarding against the Japanese to attack!"
You Fei laughed: "Everyone. If the Japanese come to join several divisions, it will be useless to strengthen our city defense. Reinforcements cannot fly over. Do you think that You Fei will fight the Japanese?"
Everyone present calmed down, and no one made a sound for a long time. After a while, the squire leader said, "Team Leader You is really happy. Our plan is the same. We must be more straightforward when winning or losing. If you can win, fight, and if you can't win, fight with the Japanese. Hehehe! Team Leader You is my soulmate of Mr. Liu!"
"Zhiyin? I don't know the name of the gentleman?"
"I dare not! I dare not! I am Liu Ligui, the president of the gentry who served the parliament. I hope we can cooperate happily in the future."
The smile on Youfei's face gradually solidified, and he said viciously: "My army is the national army, not a private guard team. He will not cooperate with the traitors who surrendered to the Japanese. As for the issue of city defense, don't be deceived by Liu Ligui. Any Chinese except the traitors are within the protection of our national army. Liu Ligui! Who is Liu Baogui? How did you contact him? Say?"
Liu Ligui became obviously panicked, but he still tried hard to look arrogant: "Our family Baogui and Huang Jun have already joined in. He sent a message saying that Huang Jun will definitely win. Everyone should make plans early! My brother can speak for everyone in Huang Jun."
You Fei shouted: "Zhang Mingshan!"
"Come!" Zhang Mingshan also roared.
"How did you kill Liu Baogui two days ago? Today, you will kill this traitor in their family!" You Fei roared.
"Report to the leader of the group! This grandson is not worth wasting a bullet. Can I borrow your dagger to use it?" Zhang Mingshan said.
You Fei took out the dagger he had collected. This dagger was the relics of Martyr Ding Lu, and he solemnly handed him to Zhang Mingshan.
Liu Ligui collapsed on the ground with a stinking smell. He was so scattered and peeding, and his courage was very compatible with a traitor. Liu Ligui struggled and said, "You... Leader You! I personally donate twenty gold bars to buy my life back. You can spare me!"
"Haha! Pass my order. Liu Ligui colluded with the enemy and confiscated all his property."
A soldier agreed and ran out. He glared at Liu Ligui on the ground. Zhang Mingshan seemed to be unable to wait. He took a step forward and pounced on Liu Ligui, pounced, pounced, and stabbed him. After three or four swords, Liu Ligui was lifted up. Blood splattered on Zhang Mingshan's face, looking particularly ferocious.
You Fei put on a smile again and greeted everyone: "Everyone eat! Liu Ligui's affairs have nothing to do with everyone. They have nothing to do with everyone! Hahaha! Everyone is still very patriotic! You have to pay some money to express your determination! Don't worry, take your time after you finish your meal! Hahaha! It's good to eat and drink! It's good to drink!"
After You Fei finished speaking, the room was silent, and only a fly flew into the dirty blood that Liu Ligui dripped out, buzzing from time to time.
Who dared to eat here? They paid the money and fled home. They didn't bring much money, so they agreed to send it back immediately. You Fei didn't have any trouble for them, so they let them go back to get it. It was strange that none of the people who went back to withdraw the money this time took the opportunity to escape. And they all delivered an extra generous donation.
Liu Ligui, who was tugging with the Japanese, was killed, and You Fei also used this to blackmail a batch of money from the local rich gentry. The most direct consequences of this matter were two: one was to give You Fei a nickname - the leader of the gangster. The other was that more people came to sign up for the army suddenly increased.
