Two days later, in the morning, when the weather was cool and cool, a large group of soldiers wearing neat military uniforms and carrying long rifles suddenly rushed into Pingyang Town. There were hundreds of them, and they were fierce.
"Get out of the way. I'm following Marshal Sun's order. Get out of the way. Where is the He family? Someone come and talk. Where is the mayor?"
The officer leading the team shouted, holding a crooked Mauser in his hand.
At this time, Zhang Shaozong was sitting at the door of the incense and candle shop looking at people. Hearing the sound, he couldn't help but follow the voice and look towards the army. However, the moment he saw the army, Zhang Shaozong didn't feel anything about their temperament.
Instead of having the military temperament of later generations, he has a bandit spirit, which makes him feel more like a team of bandits and bullies wearing military uniforms to bully others.
Judging from the words of the leading officer, these people obviously came for the He family, and they came with bad intentions.
The He family is also a large landlord family in Pingyang Town. Its strength is not weaker than the Huang family and the Qian family, which Zhang Shaozong has interacted with before. In addition, there is a Hou family and a Zhou family. These five families together form the upper class of landlords in Pingyang Town.
power.
Now the mayor of Pingyang Town is Hou Wanfu, the head of the Hou family.
With the appearance of this menacing army, the entire atmosphere in Pingyang Town suddenly became tense and depressing. People in the entire town became fearful and retreated to the side.
The mayor of the town, Hou Wanfu, came quickly after receiving the news and greeted the team with a smile on his face.
"Hey, Master Jun, I am young Hou Wanfu, the mayor of Pingyang Town. I didn't know that Mr. Jun was here. I missed the welcome from afar. I apologize for my sins. I don't know what the purpose of Mr. Jun's visit was."
"Stop talking nonsense to me and show me the way to He's house."
The leading officer didn't even look at Qian Fugui and shouted directly. Qian Fugui, a landlord and mayor, may be a big boss to ordinary people, but in the eyes of someone like him who holds the gun of the team, he is simply not enough.
"Yes Yes Yes."
Qian Fugui didn't dare to talk back when he heard this, so he led the team towards He's house.
Not long after, looking at the He family's gate, the leading officer waved directly to the soldiers behind him.
"Go straight in and capture all the members of the He family and bring them back to Wuling City to await the commander's punishment. If there is any resistance, they will be killed directly. All the property of the He family will be confiscated."
boom!
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire door of the He family was violently broken open, and then there was a panic inside shouting for mercy.
"boom--"
Soon gunshots erupted inside.
"Shot fired!"
"what happened?"
"What exactly did the He family do?"
The sound of gunshots was heard outside, and everyone in Pingyang Town became frightened. Even Zhang Shaozong, his eldest brother, Yuan Bao, and A Ying, who were standing in the crowd, could not help but change their expressions, and felt a huge depression in their hearts.
Even nervous, facing such a violent army armed with guns, even if they encounter it, they will not be able to withstand it.
Half an hour later, the army left, but the entire He family was already empty. The head of the He family was shot dead on the spot, other members of the He family were also taken away, and the money and other valuables inside were wiped out.
"Mayor, what happened to the He family?"
After the army left, some people in the crowd couldn't help but ask Hou Wanfu, a little worried and frightened.
"Hey." Hou Wanfu couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, and said, "It must be that the He family has provoked Marshal Sun somehow."
Although Hou Wanfu didn't know the specific reasons for the situation, he could roughly guess that the He family must have somehow provoked Marshal Sun from Wuling City, otherwise it would not have been such a disaster.
And Marshal Sun in Wuling City is the warlord who controls the entire Wuling. His full name is Sun Shangtian. He commands more than two thousand soldiers and horses. Although the world and the top warlords are not enough, in Wuling, this place is undoubtedly the largest in the world.
.
"I finally understand that these days, most businesses are not as big as the barrel of a gun."
Among the crowd, Zhang Jizong couldn't help but sigh. He had seen a lot of people who traveled around in the past years, and he finally understood that in this day and age, no matter how rich and family you are, you are definitely no bigger than someone with a gun.
Zhang Shaozong's eyes flickered slightly, and he looked at his eldest brother, Yuan Bao, and A Ying and said.
"Don't do any business today. Go to Zhulin Residence. I have something to discuss with you."
After thinking about it for the past few days, Zhang Shaozong had almost planned his idea. What happened to the He family today made him completely determined.
In this era, if you want to live comfortably, you must have your own power and guns. Becoming a warlord is definitely the best choice.
After a while, Bamboo Forest House.
"Brother, what do you think about us getting a group of people together to do something big?"
After sitting down, Zhang Shaozong looked directly at his elder brother Zhang Jizong and said straight to the point.
"What do you want to do?"
Zhang Jizong was shocked when he heard this and looked at Zhang Shaozong.
"I was thinking that a person's life is as long as the grass and trees are. If I have the opportunity and conditions, I should do something big and not waste my life. Originally, I wanted to do business and make a lot of money, but after what happened to the He family just now, I understand that in the
In this era, if you want to do business and make a lot of money, you can't do it without enough force to deter others. The gun is the only guarantee."
"So I think, pull out a group of people, buy a group of guns, form our own force, and then do what we want to do. The first goal is to capture Wuling. We will be the commander-in-chief of Wuling, and then we can
Better to do what we want to do.”
Zhang Jizong's eyes widened suddenly and he looked at Zhang Shaozong in shock. He suddenly felt like he was meeting his biological brother for the first time. He felt that in addition to his enviable talent in cultivation, Zhang Shaozong also had this tiger in his heart.
With huge ambitions.
But after the shock came over, Zhang Jizong found that he was also starting to feel a little bit impatient. There were few men in the world who didn't desire power and didn't want to do big things.
If what Zhang Shaozong said can really come true, think about the fact that the old Zhang family in Wuling has been poor for more than ten generations. If he really becomes the commander-in-chief of Wuling and does something great, even if he dies in the end, he will definitely
Guangzong Yaozu died with no regrets. When he saw his ancestors and elders down below, he could hold his head high and not embarrass the old Zhang family.
Then Zhang Jizong calmed down again and analyzed.
"How do you want to attract people?"
"Our old Zhang family still has seven or eight hundred people in Zhangjiacun. Our brothers go back to recruit people. It is not difficult to recruit two to three hundred people. Then we will use our own Zhang family as the core to find people from the surrounding villages and towns, and drive out every
With a salary of five oceans a month, I don’t think I can find anyone.”
The salary of ordinary workers these days is only about four oceans, and these are all people with formal jobs. For ordinary people who dig and farm and have no job, earning two or three oceans a month is considered good.
Well, a salary of five oceans can definitely make countless people come and work hard for it.
"When the time comes, first draw a team of two thousand people out, and then buy guns, and you can draw a team that is no less than that of Commander Wu Ling."
Zhang Jizong pondered for a moment.
"But in this case, we may not have enough money. Now the four of us have about 190,000 yuan together. But if we recruit two thousand people, each person's salary will be 5 yuan a month and 1 yuan a month."
Ten thousand, if you include the daily expenses for food and accommodation, it will only be even greater.”
"The most important thing is that we need to buy guns and bullets. This is the big deal. Nowadays, the price of firearms has reached 15 yuan for a domestically made rifle. The ones imported from foreign countries are more expensive. But compared to robbing, bullets are more expensive.
, if we really want to fight, bullets will be more expensive than guns."
Zhang Jizong has some understanding of the price of firearms. If he really wants to follow Zhang Shaozong's idea and directly raise a team of 2,000 people and fully equip them with weapons and bullets, Zhang Jizong feels that at least they have to start with 1 million to be safe.
, and the total money of the four of them now is less than 200,000.
"I'm afraid we don't have enough money."
Zhang Jizong looked at Zhang Shaozong.
When Zhang Shaozong heard this, his expression became serious. Indeed, if they really want to recruit a team to gain influence, they must first have enough people, whether it is to recruit people or buy guns and bullets.
At this moment, Bai Yuzhen's voice suddenly came from the corridor.
"My husband is short of money?"
Bai Yuzhen was wearing a simple white short-sleeved cheongsam, holding a white oil-paper umbrella, and wearing a pair of white high heels. She slowly walked in from the corner of the corridor. At first glance, she looked like a Jiangnan beauty who had stepped out of an oil painting.
Seeing Bai Yuzhen, Zhang Jizong, Yuan Bao, and A Ying again, their eyes couldn't help but stare. They were really so beautiful. Bai Yuzhen's beauty, coupled with her own temperament, can be said to be fascinating. The so-called fish sinking, falling wild goose, closing the moon
Ashamed of flowers, nothing more than that.
Zhang Shaozong's heart pounded because he discovered an astonishing fact, that is, it was still broad daylight, and Bai Yuzhen was able to come out even though she was holding an oil-paper umbrella.
This is such a powerful ghost.
At this time, Bai Yuzhen glanced at Zhang Jizong, Yuan Bao, and A Ying again. Feeling the pig brother-like gazes of the three of them, she said coldly.
"If you look at it again, all three of your eyes will go out."
The three of them suddenly felt a chill all over their bodies. They felt that they fell into an endless ice cave for an instant. It was more like death was approaching. It seemed that they would die in the next moment. The three of them were frightened and quickly looked away. They did not dare to look at Bai Yuzhen anymore.
Seeing this, Bai Yuzhen nodded with satisfaction and no longer cared about the three of them. Before she had not confirmed Zhang Shaozong, other men could just look at it. After all, she was also looking for a target at that time, but now that I have a confirmed man, how can I
It's something you men can continue to watch more of.
Then he looked at Zhang Shaozong with a smile.
"Listening to what I just said, my husband seems to be a little short of money?"
"But if you are short of money, please tell me. You and I are already husband and wife. If my husband is in trouble, Yuzhen should give me your full support."
After this hour.
"How about it? Is this money enough for Mr. Gong? If not, Yuzhen will go and get it?"
Bai Yuzhen waved her hand and opened the two large boxes in front of her, looked at Zhang Shaozong and asked.
When the box was opened, it was filled with gold, which almost blinded Zhang Shaozong and the other four people.
Zhang Shaozong looked at Bai Yuzhen in astonishment, and he suddenly realized something.
A woman may affect his cultivation speed, but a rich woman will definitely not.
