Chapter 135
Could it be that the caravan leader is already drunk because he just drank a few jars of wine, so he is talking nonsense?
But judging from Ma Wuhua's expression and tone, it didn't seem like she was talking drunkenly.
Ma Wuhua said seriously: "Fifth Brother, I know that Brother Hua already has an 'Evil Dog Sect' in his hands, but your 'Evil Dog Sect' is too small, how can it compare to my 'Dongting Gang'"
?I also know that my brother has great ambitions and will definitely not be a thing in the pool in the future, so I entrusted him with the position of gang leader. In my opinion, if you want to dominate the world and achieve a great career, the "Dongting Gang" is better than the "Evil Dog Gate".
It's easier, brother, why stick to one sect? If you can't let go of the 'Evil Dog Clan', just merge the two factions into one and let the 'Evil Dog Clan' be merged into the 'Dongting Clan'!"
"If I'm worried about the members of the 'Dongting Gang' being dissatisfied, it doesn't matter. Fifth Brother, I have some prestige in the gang, so I will pass on the position of gang leader to you. No one would dare to object. Even if there are a few who are unconvinced, I will give it to you."
With my brother’s resourcefulness and my brother’s help, I will definitely be able to conquer them.”
After hearing this, Hua Bushi believed that Ma Wuhua really wanted to pass on the position of leader of the "Dongting Gang" to him, and he couldn't help but be very surprised.
With the "Dongting Gang" having such a huge power and numerous industries, Hua Bushi will certainly not be unmoved. If he can take charge of the "Dongting Gang", he will control half of Changsha City. And what Ma Wuhua just said is also true.
It makes sense. As long as he becomes the leader of the Dongting Clan, many resources will be immediately at his fingertips, which will be a big step forward in realizing his dream. Why should he care about which sect he is in charge of?
Hua Bushi turned to look at Mr. Meng, and saw that he also had a look of astonishment. Ma Wuhua's move was beyond his expectation.
Ma Wuhua smiled "hehe" and said to Hua Bushi: "You don't have to look at the second brother Meng. He and I are close friends of life and death. My decision is his decision. If I pass the position of gang leader to you, he will definitely not object.
With his help, it will be even easier for you to take charge of this gang."
"I am lazy by nature, and I really don't have much ability to run a sect. However, I am very confident in one thing, and that is my ability to recognize people. Even the leaders of the seven sects in the Central Plains are far behind me." Dongting Gang
'If I leave it in the hands of Brother Hua, I will definitely achieve great things in the future. I am doing this not only for my own laziness, but also for the sake of the brothers in this gang. Second Brother Meng, do you believe what Fifth Brother says?"
Meng Qingshan pondered for a moment, nodded, and said: "What Fifth Brother said is definitely not wrong."
Regarding Ma Wuhua's way of understanding and employing people, Hua Bushi was deeply convinced, and even felt a little ashamed of himself.
The "Dongting Gang" continued to expand from the Dongting Lake area in northern Hunan and entered Changsha City, becoming the largest force in the city in the past ten years. As a martial arts sect, the "Dongting Gang" did not do well. In the Ming Dynasty,
I am afraid that no leader of a sect can be as lazy and leisurely as Ma Wu Ge. He rarely even shows up, but leaves all the affairs of the sect to his subordinates. This makes people in the world hate him.
His appearance was unclear, and he was misrepresented as a blond, blue-eyed, tall Hu man.
A leader like him, who acts like a hands-off shopkeeper, can still run the sect in such a spectacular manner. Without his superior vision and courage in employing people, he would definitely not be able to do it.
However, although Ma Wuhua had the courage to pass on the position of gang leader, Hua Bushi did not dare to accept it at this time. Hua Bushi was good at management and knew that the handover of the leader of a sect was not an easy matter and involved many things within the sect.
The vital interests of many people, especially if a pure outsider like him wants to be the gang leader, will definitely cause great shock within the "Dongting Gang" and even cause chaos.
The city of Changsha is experiencing turmoil, and the demonic forces are expanding rapidly. They are planning to annex the city. The "Dongting Gang" is the largest sect in the local area, and it is also the only sect in the city that can fight against the demons. At this time, there must be no civil strife.
If there is a problem within the sect and the devil takes advantage of it, not only the "Dongting Gang" will face a worrying fate, but even the "Evil Dog Sect" will probably be implicated.
Hua Bushi clasped his fists with both hands, bowed and said, "Thank you so much, Brother Ma Wu, for trusting me! It's just that I have little talent and little knowledge, and it is difficult for me to be qualified for the position of leader of your gang. Moreover, it is not a good time to discuss this matter now. We have to wait for the two of us."
Let's join forces to drive the demonic forces out of Changsha City. Let's discuss this matter again. What does Brother Ma Wu think?"
Ma Wuhua shook his head. He was very smart and immediately understood Hua Bushi's intention and said: "Yes, what Hua Laodi said makes sense. When I saw a talent like Hua LaoDi, I thought of passing the throne, but it was
I didn’t think carefully, so I decided to deal with those devil bastards first! However, Brother Hua won’t be able to shirk anymore when the time comes!”
Hua Bushi said: "I naturally obey the fifth brother's instructions."
Ma Wuhua laughed loudly, picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp, and suddenly asked: "Brother Hua, you just said that you came to Changsha City to sell weapons, is this true?"
Hua Bushi said: "That's exactly it."
Ma Wuhua said: "What weapons do you have for sale? Let me tell you."
Hua Bushi said: "Our sect has occupied a fine iron ore vein in Wuyang City. We use the mined fine iron to make some weapons such as swords, guns, swords and shields in the workshop. There are quite a few, so we want to come to Changsha City.
Open a business and sell it.”
Ma Wuhua curled his lips and said: "How can ordinary weapons be sold at a good price? Since we have high-quality refined iron, why not cast some steel cannons and giant crossbows. Those are rare things, and the price is lower than those broken ones of yours."
A broken sword is much better than a broken gun."
Hua Bushi's heart moved, and he said: "Although steel cannons and giant crossbows are rare, they are large weapons used to attack cities and seize territory. Ordinary Jianghu sects cannot use them, even if they are such weapons for the government army.
They are also uniformly distributed by the court and will not be purchased outside. Besides, the structures of steel cannons, giant crossbows and other items are very complex, and it is really difficult to cast them in our blacksmith workshop."
Ma Wuhua said: "Is there a powerful blacksmith in your workshop?"
Hua Bushi said: "The people employed in our workshop are all experienced craftsmen, and the master craftsman headed by him is a master of forging weapons."
Ma Wuhua clapped his hands and said: "That's enough! I happen to have the detailed drawing of casting a steel cannon in my hand. Since I have a good blacksmith in my family, I can definitely cast it according to this drawing. How to make the giant crossbow
I can get the drawings in a while. As for the sale, there is no need to worry about it. I will buy all the steel cannons and giant crossbows made in your workshop, Fifth Brother, and the price will satisfy Brother Hua!"
Hua Bushi said: "That's very good. Since the fifth brother wants to buy it, I will ask the craftsmen in the workshop to cast the steel cannon and the giant crossbow."
He said this, but he was very confused in his heart. With Ma Wuhua's martial arts skills and identity, he would naturally have some connections. It was not surprising that he could get the detailed drawings of the steel cannon and giant crossbow. What puzzled Hua Bushi was
, why did Ma Wuhua buy these weapons.
Although steel cannons and giant crossbows are powerful, they are very heavy and difficult to carry. Secondly, they are huge and difficult to hide. They are also slow to fire and troublesome to load. Therefore, these weapons are naturally used in battle formations to attack cities.
An invincible weapon, it is difficult to use it in the fierce battles in the world. Hua Bushi really can't figure out why Ma Wuhua bought these things.
Ma Wuhua seemed to see Hua Bushi's doubts and said, "Brother Hua is wondering, what's the use of buying these heavy weapons?"
Hua Bushi said: "I am indeed a little confused."
Ma Wuhua said: "Of course I have no use for these things. I bought them all for my brother."
Hua Bushi suddenly said: "I see, I didn't expect that the fifth brother has brothers."
Ma Wuhua's eyes widened and he said: "I was also born to my parents, why can't I have brothers!"
Hua Bushi knew he had made a mistake, so he quickly apologized and said with a smile: "I made a mistake, please forgive me. Fifth brother's brother must also be a great hero. I wonder if I can introduce him to you."
Ma Wuhua said: "Speaking of my brother, he is indeed a hero of the world. He has had great ambitions since he was a child. He is different from a lazy person like me. It's a pity that he is not in Changsha now. Otherwise, I must introduce him to Brother Hua."
Hua Bushi said: "It is a pity that Hua Bushi has no chance to meet such a heroic figure!"
Ma Wuhua said: "He is a few years younger than me. His surname is Li and his given name is Hongji. In fact, my original surname was also Li. The name Ma Wuhua came from the bandit name I got when I was in the world."
Hua Bushi had just heard Ma Wuhua mention that his brother was a hero of the world, so he thought that this man must be a world-famous hero, but when he heard Li Hongji's name, he had no impression.
Ma Wuhua added: "There are rumors in the world that Ma Wuhua is a blond and blue-eyed Hu man. It is a misinformation. However, I am indeed not a Han, but a member of the Dangxiang tribe. My ancestral home is in Mizhi County, Shaanxi Province. The then King of Xixia, Li Yuanhao,
, is the ancestor of our Li family. My brother Li Hongji's name, Brother Hua, may not have heard of it, but when it comes to the name of 'General Li Chuang', you will definitely have heard of it."
Hua Bushi felt a shiver in his heart and said, "Is it possible that the fifth brother's brother is Li Zicheng, the 'insurgent general' who carried out righteous acts in Shaanxi?"
Ma Wuhua said: "Yes, that's him."
The government of the Ming Dynasty was mediocre, and taxes were extremely heavy. In addition, floods and droughts occurred year after year in various areas, and the people were in dire straits. Rebels in many states and counties rose up and rebelled. Legend has it that there were as many as eighteen groups of rebels in various places.
Among them, the stronger ones include Wang Daliang from Hannan, Zhang Xianzhong from Hunan and Hubei, and the "Chuang King" troops from Shaanxi.
They all commit rebellion and are enemies of the government, but the rebels are different from the underworld forces in the world. The underworld forces under the "Tianxia Alliance" are doing things like killing people, setting fires, robbing homes, and looting assets to make money. Ordinary people are not interested in it.
