Chapter 253 King Oolong (Part 2)
Liu Hongyi looked excited: "Then... caught it?"
"No!" I shook my head: "Under the dim oil lamp, Yao Dabang was playing cards with the woman he snatched. Suddenly, he heard something outside. Knowing that something was wrong, he blew out the oil lamp, pushed the woman away, took out the gun, and quickly climbed up the roof. Yao Dabang had practiced light skills and could fly over the eaves and walls, quietly. At this time, he tied a bed of cotton wool into a bundle and threw it at one end of the house.
The government army surrounding the house saw a black shadow falling to the ground, thinking it was Yao Dabang, shouting "Catch the live ones! Catch the live ones!", and they all pounced over. Yao Dabang took the opportunity to jump off the other end of the roof and escaped. When the government army understood that they were deceived and turned around to chase them, Yao Dabang had already escaped.
It was drizzling in the sky. The clearing team found that Yao Dabang had returned home, so they dispatched a large group of people to surround the village where Yao Dabang was resting before dawn. After Yao Dabang got up, he found that the situation was not good, so he picked up a straw hat, put on a straw raincoat, placed two fast and slow machine shell guns in a manure bucket filled with manure water, dressed up as an old farmer, carried the manure bucket and walked out.
Before going far, the captain of the clearing team grabbed him and asked, 'Old man, is Yao Dabang at home?'
Yao Dabang pretended to be honest. As soon as he changed his shoulders, the feces splashed out, dirtying the captain's pants.
The captain took a step back and asked Yao Dabang where was?
Yao Dabang pointed at a room and said, "He just got up and was smoking a big cigarette!"
The officers quickly surrounded the house and surrounded it layer by layer.
Yao Dabang passed two ridges, threw the manure bucket, picked up two pistols, and quickly fled.
The official army searched Yao Dabang's family and found only a few of his wives and children.
The captain of the clearing team asked his wife, "Where is Yao Dabang?"
His wife said, ‘Didn’t you just picking up the feces?’
The captain hurriedly shouted to the soldiers, "Why are you going to chase me quickly!", but how could he catch up with him at this time?
After several encirclements and suppression, the clearing team was defeated several times. They were extremely angry and captured Yao Dabang's wife and children, confiscated all the gold, silver and treasures that Yao Dabang robbed, and carried eight loads.
Since then, Yao Dabang has become more vigilant. Every night when he sleeps, he always lit the incense and tied it to his fingers or toes, as a timer and an alarm. When the incense wakes him up, he changes another place and often moves several places overnight.
Yao Dabang was full of blood debts. Of course, he was afraid of his enemies seeking revenge. He was highly vigilant all day long, suspicious and afraid of being killed. His guns were always kept in his pockets, and he never left his gun when talking to others. When eating, he also squatted in the corner of the wall with a bowl in his hand, choosing favorable terrain just in case.
One day, he talked to a merchant. The other party sneezes due to a cold and reaches out to his pocket to pull out his handkerchief. Yao thought he was going to pull out his gun, so he immediately shot it over to the ground. Others rushed into the store and asked what was wrong.
Yao Dabang said angrily, 'Look, his hand is drawing a gun in his pocket. If I don't kill him, he will kill me.'
Everyone helped the dead, pulled out the hand that he was putting into his pocket, and saw a handkerchief in his hand, and they were all shocked.
Yao Dabang was over 60 years old, but he could still walk like flying. Once, on his way back to Huang County from Zhijiang, he saw a dog running in front of him, and asked the entourage, who could catch the dog. The entourage shook his head, and no one was so confident. Yao Dabang said, "Look at me!" He rolled up his sleeves, ran forward three steps and two steps, and caught the dog in a while. Others were shocked when they saw it.
Yao Dabang was not without his opponents. In Huang County, someone was in awe of him at that time. He was a student of the first class of the Whampoa Military Academy and served as the commander of the Kuomintang regular army and brigade commander. His home was in Luomaoxi, Dawan, Huang County. His surname was Zhang Benqing, also known as Zhang Wenying, nicknamed Zhang Laohu, and also known as Zhang Dapao.
In his early years, Zhang Benqing was respected by Jiang and served as the head of Jiang's guard regiment. Later, because of his joint anti-Cheng, he was abandoned by Jiang. He returned to his hometown Huang County and served as a provincial senator. At the meeting of the First Bureau of the Senate of Huang County, he said, "I do not allow evil forces to develop. I want to protect the country and the people. At the minimum, from the hotel pond of Niuyupu to Menloao, that is, in Huang County, I do not allow bandits to cause trouble. Whoever wants to cause trouble will kill anyone!"
After that, the bandits in Huang County did not dare to be arrogant for a while, and the development of the bandits' power was also curbed. Regardless of whether they agreed or not, they did not dare to offend Zhang Benqing, the county officials and local gentry, because their power was so great that they were far beyond the level of comparison of local rich people like them.
Yao Dabang regarded Zhang Benqing as a thorn in his eyes, but he was afraid of his power and did not dare to offend him. He still lived in harmony on the surface. In 1939, Yao and Zhang jointly defeated Zhang Pinggang, who runs the Hantang Mercury Mine in Huang County, and jointly operates the Mercury Mine in mercury mine, with close contacts.
Soon, Yao Dabang was surrounded and suppressed by the Kuomintang Independence Group because he committed evil deeds in Huang County and supported the gauze smuggling activities of Longxikou merchants. Although Yao Dabang escaped in disguise, his whole family was arrested and imprisoned. When he was desperate, Yao asked Zhang Benqing to come forward to plead with him. The Independence Group dared to deal with Yao Dabang, but did not dare to offend Zhang Benqing. Zhang Benqing used his prestige and energy to save Yao Dabang's family through activities.
Since then, Yao Dabang has invited many banquets to thank Zhang Benqing, and said to Zhang, "Brig Commander Zhang, thanks to your rescue, I will not forget your life-saving grace in this life and the next life!"
Zhang Benqing joked, 'Murder is yours, and lawsuit is mine!'
After a few days, the mercury mine jointly run by Yao and Zhang had conflicts due to the issue of interest distribution. Yao sent Yao Xichang to be the mercury mine management office, and Zhang Benqing sent another person named Yang Hong to be the mercury office. Yao Dabang assassinated Yang Hong. The conflict between Yao and Yang was in the same way.
In addition, Zhang Benqing wanted to marry his cousin Zhang Shanzhi as his wife, and his ex-wife Guo Shunqing ran away angrily.
Zhang Benqing's actions were regarded as a corruption of family rules by his family, and were opposed by the family and discussed by public opinion. Yao Dabang also ridiculed this. At a banquet attended by Yao and Zhang, Yao said in front of everyone about Zhang Benqing's marriage of his cousin, "The cow stands on the ridge of the field, and the manure and water will not fall into the fields of outsiders!"
Zhang's face was red and his ears were really dumb. He had no choice but to say anything about his suffering. He was so jealous of Yao Dabang. The conflict between Yao and Zhang became increasingly intensified.
After Zhang Benqing returned to his hometown Huang County, in order to develop his family business, he opened a Benshan company in Longxikou. The company occupied the house of *** and asked for it to be returned. Zhang Benqing ignored it. Zhang also purchased a large number of products such as tung oil, and the business was booming. In addition, he ran the Longxikou Wharf and levied a large amount of dock taxes, and seized the financial resources of various businesses such as ***. *** hated him and decided to get rid of him.
***Who can take this task when looking for a killer? They took a fancy to Yao Dabang. Yao Dabang loves money and is greedy for money. Everyone knows that as long as he gives money, he dares to do anything. Besides, he and Zhang Benqing are in the same power as Zhang Benqing, and it is perfect for him to deal with Zhang Benqing. So *** spared no expense to buy Yao Dabang and privately gave him dozens of white gauze and thousands of silver dollars. Yang Yongqing, the bandit leader of Zhijiang, took advantage of the situation and robbed him, strongly supported Yao Dabang to remove Zhang Benqing and gave Yao advice.
On the 14th day of the second lunar month of 1949, Longxikou was about to be held, and there were many people. Yao Dabang sent his subordinates to trust, team leader Wu Yuqing, nicknamed Wu Mazi, and Fighting Ji Mazi. He had worked under Zhang Benqing. Later, he secretly joined Yao Dabang and led Wu Benjun, Wu Benzhong, Yao Yinglin, and Yao Dabang's uncle Long Yongan, Peng Xiucai and others to disguise themselves in Longxikou.
Yao Dabang also sent people to respond at the place where he could enter and exit Longxikou. Not long after, Zhang Benqing brought a guard to Jiangxi Street. Zhang instructed the guards to do business and went to the stall at the Binxing Street entrance to buy cigarettes. Wu Yuqing, who was waiting here, stepped forward and shouted, "Brave Commander Zhang, you buy cigarettes!"
Zhang turned around, Wu Yuqing, wearing a robe, pulled out his pistol from under his elbow and pointed it at Zhang's temple. Then two followers rushed out, shooting him on the back of Zhang's head and waist. Zhang was killed immediately. The street was immediately in chaos and noisy, and someone in the crowd shouted, "I've killed someone! I've killed someone!"
Wu Yuqing and others took advantage of the chaos and fled. Zhang Benqing, the savior of Yao Dabang, was plotted against by Yao Dabang. As soon as Zhang Benqing died, Yao Dabang realized his dream of dominating Huang County. Soon, surrounded by some gentlemen and businessmen, Yao led his bandit headquarters to Longxikou to boost his reputation. He immediately established the Second Security Regiment of Huang County, as the leader of the regiment, and also served as deputy director of the Huang County Public Security Committee and the captain of the First Guard Brigade of Huang County.
After his status was consolidated, Yao Dabang turned his murderous eyes to himself, and even attacked his confidant Wu Yuqing and Yao Guoan who had followed him for many years.
Under Yao's instruction, Wu Yuqing led people to assassinate his former master Zhang Benqing, which relieved Yao's confidant, which was a great contribution to Yao Dabang.
But he never thought that it was because of this incident that Yao had the intention to kill him. Yao Dabang used Wu Yuqing's hand to get rid of Zhang Benqing. He always thought to himself that this guy would even dare to kill his old boss Zhang Benqing, and maybe one day he would attack me Yao. If he didn't get rid of this person, I would be uneasy day and night.
So, Yao Dabang used the excuse of Wu Yuqing occupying someone else's wife and daughter, and put a charge on him and killed him.
Another confidant Yao Guoan stole other people's things outside and was also killed by Yao Dabang with a machine gun in Baima Mountain in Yuping County.
Haha, this is the real thing that birds are hidden all over the bow, rabbits are dead and dogs are cooked!”
"Yao Dabang is a sinister person on earth. How was he dealt with later?" Liu Hongyi asked me angrily.
