Everyone knows this principle that you know yourself and your enemy will win every battle.

Zhou Cheng has already understood the situation in Xiaoling Village, and the next step is to understand the outside world.

Last night, Zhou Cheng stayed at the old village chief’s house for four hours, and learned from him about the surrounding customs, terrain, and various policies that the Japanese were pacifying.

As we talked, something caught Zhou Cheng's attention.

In order to prevent people from making trouble in the occupied areas and threatening their rule, the Japanese issued a special decree: Unless they allow them, the people are prohibited from holding guns, and hunting rifles are not allowed. They try their best to eliminate what may threaten them in the bud.

There were originally several hunters in the village. After the Japanese government order was issued, they had to hand over the hunting rifle!

This means that the mountains behind the village have not been visited by hunters for several months.

Liang Hongjiang was a hunter who took action. The 38th Gallery in his hand was many times better than the hunting rifle. If you take him into the mountain, you will definitely be able to catch prey, give extra meals to the soldiers, and practice their shooting skills.

Zhou Cheng left at 2 o'clock in the afternoon and returned to the Land Temple at 6 o'clock. Although he did not catch a large prey like a wild boar, he still carried a hare and two pheasants back, which was enough to give the soldiers a full meal.

The next morning, the village protection team gathered at the Land Temple for training as usual.

Wang Shuyun suddenly came over with a frown expression, very anxious.

"Old village chief, is there something wrong?" Zhou Cheng said bluntly.

"Oh!" Wang Shuyun sighed: "What a big thing is going to happen in our Xiaoling Village!"

"Early early this morning, Zhou Da Qiang, who was next door, called me over and said that the Japanese gave him an order to manage the four surrounding villages, and asked each village to hand over a thousand kilograms of grain, otherwise it would be a violation of the Japanese order. If we cannot raise enough grain at the prescribed time, Zhou Qiang would personally bring people to the village to find food."

"The people in his hands are even more bandits than bandits. Now they are supported by the Japanese and are even more domineering. If they are allowed to enter the village, the land in Xiaoling Village will be scraped to a higher level, completely forcing everyone to a dead end."

"It's not feasible to deliver food. The villagers don't even have enough food now, so how can they get a thousand kilograms of food for them!"

"I really can't think of a way, so I can only find Captain Zhou. You are knowledgeable and have a gun in your hand. I hope you can save the villagers again!"

As an Eighth Route Army, it was natural for Zhou Cheng to protect the people from bullying from the Japanese and puppet troops.

Now that the village protection team has a more responsibility, I would be sorry for the trust and support of the villagers.

I immediately asked: "Is this Zhou Qianhui the night before yesterday, Zhou Xuhui, the largest landlord in a radius of more than ten miles. After the Japanese came, they sent food and money. They bought a lot of guns and built a guard."

"It's him!" the old village chief nodded.

"More than 90% of the land in Zhou Village belongs to him, and at least half of it was stolen from the villagers through clever robbery."

"Before the Japanese came, he summoned more than a dozen thugs to be thugs for himself and exploited the people in the village."

"I became even more arrogant after getting involved with the Japanese."

"I bought more than a dozen guns, but I also found a few defeated soldiers from the Jinsui Army to be instructors, trained the thugs under him, and became kings and domineers in the surrounding villages, and helped the Japanese manage us."

"I guess it was not the Japanese's idea that Zhou Qianzhu asked us to pay a thousand kilograms of grain at all, but we bought grain from him two days ago. Seeing that our Xiaoling Village had money, I wanted to take the opportunity to make a fortune."

Zhou Xuhui did have the idea of ​​making a fortune in Xiaoling Village.

Before, every village he managed had provided him with a lot of money and food, but Xiaoling Village did not.

A day ago, I received an order from Zhang Fugui, the company commander of the Imperial Army: Let him explore the virtual reality of Xiaoling Village and find out how many Eighth Route Army there are in Xiaoling Village.

Zhou Xuhui is a man who only takes advantage but not suffers. He has a sudden idea of ​​taking advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune.

Xiaoling Village was swept away by the Japanese, and the village was short of food, otherwise it would not have bought grain from itself at a high price.

It would be impossible to get them to take out a thousand kilograms of food at a time.

When time comes, they can't get out the food, so they will have an interface to go to the village to search for food.

Not only can you take the opportunity to make a big fortune, but you can also complete the task assigned by Company Commander Zhang, killing two birds with one stone.

Zhou Cheng didn't know Zhou Xuhui's thoughts. After listening to the old village chief's introduction, an idea also emerged in his mind.

After the village protection team has formed its combat effectiveness, it will definitely need a battle to verify everyone's training level and let the villagers see the benefits of establishing the village protection team.

If you face the Japanese in the first battle, not only will the village protection team be unconfident, but you will not have it either.

The guards and thugs formed by the traitor themselves are much easier to deal with.

Since learning about Zhou Xuhui's character, Zhou Cheng has a very bad impression of him. He has been thinking about how to get rid of this borer for the people, and give the villagers a bright future and take the opportunity to make the reputation of the village guard team.

Zhou Xuhui led the guards into the village to search for grain, which was undoubtedly the best opportunity to attack them.

For the new recruits of the village guard team, it is definitely easier to ambush than to attack.

The more I thought about Zhou Cheng, the more I felt that this was an opportunity. I immediately asked: "Old village chief, how long does Zhou Xuhui give us to collect food."

"Three days!" Wang Shuyun blurted out: "As time comes, one thousand kilograms of grain must be delivered to Zhouzhuang. If he doesn't deliver it, he will personally lead the team to Xiaoling Village to find food by himself."

"The time is too short." Zhou Cheng frowned and analyzed.

"It will take at least ten days for the village protection team to form basic combat power."

"Old village chief, can you go to Zhouzhuang again and extend the three days to ten days, and then you don't have to worry about it. Leave the rest to me to handle it, so as to ensure that the villagers will not lose a pound of food."

"It's very difficult!" Wang Shuyun thought for a while and answered.

"The rich man Zhou Da clearly wanted to beat us up, so how could he extend the time to raise grain?"

"He wished we could not get enough food, and then took people into the village to find food by themselves."

Zhou Cheng did not give up: "There must be a way to let Zhou Xuhui relax and extend the three days to ten days."

Wang Shuyun frowned and fell into deep thought, which really made him think of a solution.

"benefit!"

"This Zhou Xuhui can become the biggest rich man in a radius of more than ten miles. In addition to taking advantage of tricks, he also lent him high interest to his fellow villagers."

"In the year of disaster, I will lend 100 kilograms of grain to the people, and I will pay back 200 kilograms in one month."

"The villagers definitely can't afford it, and they have to use land to pay off their debts. More than 1,000 acres of land in Zhouzhuang fell into his hands little by little."

"If we let Zhou Xuhui see that extending the grain raising time can benefit, he will definitely agree."

Zhou Cheng quickly figured out the proposal of the old village chief, and his eyes turned and he had an idea: "Then can we do this: Three days later, the old village chief, you can take 300 kilograms of grain from the village protection team and tell Zhou Xuhui that if he agrees to extend the time for raising grain for another ten days, we will give him another 900 kilograms of grain, and the extra 200 kilograms of grain will be used as interest."

Wang Shuyun immediately agreed: "Zhou Xuhui was insatiable and would definitely agree to it if he delayed his 200 kilograms of grain for free if he was given ten days."
