Chapter 5 Stability

()

After temporarily settled these bandits, Ye Chong rubbed the sun nest. Being a bandit is not a long-term matter after all, but someone also needs to recommend him to recruit you. He is eager to get around. Even if he recruits those officials who are above the top, he will not treat you as an official army.

I don’t know what Zhang Zuolin is doing now? Ye Chong doesn’t remember the original history very clearly. He only knows that Zhang Zuolin was also a bandit. Later, he recruited and killed Du Lisan, the number one bandit in Liao, and then began to rise slowly. Du Lisan was still alive, and Zhang Zuolin is just a small person now.

Now the strength of the troops is not strong, and when there are one or two thousand troops, I will have confidence in talking to the official army.

Ye Chong's nails lightly buckle the armrests of the chair.

A cry suddenly came from outside the house. What's going on? Ye Chong walked out with a saber.

"The old man and his grandson kowtowed to their benefactor." An old man pulled the six-year-old boy who was still running and worn out in a runny dress, kowtowed tremblingly to Ye Chong, and kowtowed repeatedly.

Ye Chong quickly helped the other party up. But more people who received the rice money knelt down, and Ye Chong couldn't help him. Some people who were usually bullied were even more crying at this time. He Rui and his half-brother were at a loss.

"Brother Ye Chong, the two of them don't leave, and they say they have something to ask to see you." Not long after Ye Chong returned to the house, Wang Houchun walked in.

"Let them come in." Ye Xiao said.

The one who came in was Xu Nan, and another Wenshan with a broken leg, who was carried in. Xu Heiya said that he was Hu Mazi's dog-headed military advisor.

"What are you asking for me?" Ye Chong said to Wenshan.

"I hope that I can serve the boss Ye." Wenshan knelt on the ground with broken legs, sweating coldly in pain, and he said with a grudge.

"Oh? Tell me what you can use for me." Ye Chong said while sitting on the chair.

"The young man knew that Hu Mazi had a secret cave, which contained gold and silver that he had not had time to transport away. In addition, he also knew that Hu Mazi was going to find a helper to attack Niujiaao." Wenshan said. "I don't know if these are enough."

Ye Chong smiled and said, "You are completely betraying Hu Mazi."

"Hu Mazi threw me down. He was unkind and I was unrighteous." Wenshan said angrily.

"Hu Chun, take the master down to heal the wound first." Ye Chong said.

Wenshan was overjoyed when he heard this. Ye Chong called him the master and undoubtedly confirmed his status. "Thank you, thank you."

"What about you, what are you doing to me?" Ye Chong turned to Xu Nandao.

"I want the boss to send someone to escort me back to Fengtian." Xu Nan said to Ye Chong on the chair.

Ye smiled heavily: "I will rescue you from Hu Mazi, but I will give you some money. I will ask me to send someone to escort you back to Fengtian. Do you think I, the bandit leader, are you easy to bully?"

"I will definitely thank you very much." Xu Nan said with a red face.

Ye Chong knew that Xu Nan's identity in front of him was no different from that of an ordinary person, so he touched his chin and said, "Hu Mazi will send someone to counterattack Niujiaao at any time. I can't pull out any man for the time being. When Hu Mazi is defeated, I will send someone to send you to Fengtian."

"Thank you." Xu Nan nodded and smiled.

Xu Nan immediately opened his mouth and said in surprise: "You know English!"

"You can walk around as you wish." Ye Chong picked up the saber and walked out: "You can walk around in Niujiaao. It's better not to go out, it's not peaceful outside."

"Are you wondering why others have distributed the money but have no share of you?" Ye Chong called Zhao Erhu, Sun Yong and eleven people together.

Sun Qi scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly: "Brother Ye, we have never seen so much money, and we are a little out of our composure."

"Before, each person was jealous of only a few taels of silver, and the things that were not promising were not good." Ye Chong smiled and cursed: "Each person went to get 100 taels of silver, and put the others in the warehouse. For two other tigers, you can take a few people and take 500 taels to Hupanshan and give them to the elders of the village. By the way, help me take Han Ying over."

"Is 100 taels too much?" Sun Qi stuttered.

"By the way, Brother Ye Chong, Master Wen said Hu Mazi would bring people back at any time. Should we be careful soon?" Wang Houchun remembered what Wenshan said and suddenly reminded him.

"Well, you can pick two of us later, and look at the mountain not far from the front and back village gates. You will see the brigade of people setting fire to warn you." Ye Xiao said.

"Brother Ye Chong, are we just bandits like this?" Liu Yongfeng asked: "My mother said it's not good to be bandits."

"What nonsense? Even if you are bandits, we are also good bandits." Zhao Erhu patted Liu Yongfeng's head.

"We won't keep doing it. In the future, the court will invite us to become regular officials. However, before that, we will remove the nests of all sizes of bandits around Liaozhong County and do something so that we will not be looked down upon by those officials." Ye Chong revealed his thoughts.

"Yes, fight... to remove all the bandits in the Liaozhong area." Zhao Erhu slapped the table and said.

"Okay, I took the silver and all of them were separated. Do what should be done. Take a closer look in Niujiaao. Among the people we subdued, if there are still some people who are ill-behaved, they can kill them on the spot." Ye Chong said with a ruthless expression.

"Yes, Brother Ye Chong." Ten people all raised their chests.

"Boss!" Wenshan lay on the bed. When he saw Ye Chong walking in, he hurriedly got up, but Ye Chong held it down.

"No need to be polite, just say that." Ye Chong moved the stool and sat down on the bed: "How long have you been with Hu Mazi?"

"I have been following him for five years. Hu Mazi is a mean and polite person. If it weren't for the former second chief, Niu Jiaao would have disbanded. I really didn't expect that when I saw my leg break, I thought I was in trouble and immediately threw it away." Wenshan sighed and smiled, "I'm afraid Hu Mazi would never have expected that you would be driven away by the boss, with ten young soldiers. When the news spread, Hu Mazi would have no shame to continue in the Liaozhong area."

"Who does Hu Mazi usually have good friends with? Who is the most likely reinforcements he will hire?" Ye Chong asked.

"In our Liaozhong area, in addition to Du Lisan, there are dozens of hills of all sizes. Zhang Hu, who is a little closer to Niujiaao, has 1670 people under his command, Ma Dadao has 200 people in his hand, Yu Houzi has about 150 people, Tian Daniu is the strongest, with more than 350 people. Hu Mazi has a good relationship with Ma Dadao and Zhang Hu. It is estimated that the two families can borrow 1450 people. The boss must be prepared earlier." Wenshan looked at Ye Chong with some concern and said, "Ma Dadao's subordinates are all bandits, not as unscathed as Hu Mazi."

"Well, by the way, besides Xiao Qingshan, are there any other arms coming from? Like Maxim heavy machine guns or artillery." Ye Chong came from his previous life and naturally knew that manpower was inferior to firepower. Moreover, with Hu Mazi's other 43,000 taels of silver in the secret cave, plus the remaining ones in total of more than 46,000 taels, there were still plenty of money on hand.

"Heavy machine guns and artillery?" Wenshan was surprised. Although the boss in front of him was young, he had a great ambition. He did not have a gunner if he bought the cannon. Heavy machine guns consumed too much ammunition, which not only cost money, but also was inconvenient to move. It would be better to buy a few more rifles if he had this money. "Yes, there are, but you have to find those Japanese merchants, and the price was also very expensive. A Japanese man offered a 2,000 tael of silver for a Maxim, and the cheapest cannon costs 5,000 taels of silver, not counting shells." These Japanese were really unscrupulous and could sell at such an outrageous price. Ye Chong cursed secretly, but there were no more choices at the moment. "Where can I buy it? Or let them deliver the goods to the designated location."

"After Fengtian, that boy Xu Heiya had been to the second head of the house once before. He knew the address. But after a few days of traveling, maybe Hu Mazi had already called him." Wenshan said.

"Who said I used it to deal with Hu Mazi? Heavy machine guns and artillery will come in handy sooner or later? Do you know Xu Heiya better? Is he reliable?" Ye Chong asked.

"Xu Heiya is smart, but he has no ambitions and is quite loyal. However, he has no good feelings for Hu Mazi and cannot cause trouble."

"Okay, if anyone borrowed the troops, I will bring heavy machine guns and artillery to the door." Ye Chong smiled coldly, and Wenshan shivered. "Okay, Master Wen, please rest first. When Hu Mazi is defeated, I will not forget Master's contribution."
