Chapter 73 People without far-sightedness must have near-term worries
While Wu Dong and Yan Zhendong were chatting and laughing at the militia stronghold, the leader of the Shahe Gang who came to Foshan to visit the base completely gave up all thoughts of planting a flag in Foshan and turned around and left with his younger brother, but there was no regret in his heart.
and loss.
Some are full of excitement and yearning for a better future.
The Shahe Gang and his entourage also watched the ring battle between Yan Zhendong and the foreign boxing champion. They were all shocked by Yan Zhendong's strong strength, and then they completely stopped thinking about it.
As expected, Yan Zhendong's performance of decisively defeating the foreign boxing champion subsequently inspired a large number of young people to want to learn from him.
It's a pity that Yan Zhendong has no intention of opening a school to teach students.
However, those young people who wanted to learn from his master did not give up. When they learned that Yan Zhendong was the leader of the militia, they immediately had the idea of joining the militia.
According to their idea, they would first join the militia and look for opportunities to learn hard skills from Yan Zhendong. Then it would be much more convenient.
As long as you are willing to inquire, you can find out many basic information about the militia.
For example, the martial arts taught in the militia, as well as the performance of the instructors, etc. Not to mention Yan Zhendong's reputation is quite good, and he has done very well in the position of the instructor of the militia.
Apart from anything else, based on his understanding of hard skills, the fighting strength of the militia members showed signs of substantial improvement.
Basic training methods such as the Iron Shirt are also spread among militia groups. The key is whether you have the perseverance and determination to continue practicing.
In addition, martial arts masters like Huang Feihong are definitely no worse than Yan Zhendong. Even the basic martial arts practiced by the militia were created by Huang Feihong.
If you can get Huang Feihong's guidance, it goes without saying that it will not be difficult to enter the martial arts gate or improve your martial arts to a higher level.
There is also Zhu Rong, who also became famous through ring competitions and is also a role model for passionate young people.
In short, after Yan Zhendong's strong victory in the ring, the scale of the vigilante group expanded rapidly.
But as a result, Huang Feihong, as the leader of the vigilante group, felt real and huge pressure.
There is no way, the scale of the militia is already quite astonishing.
There are more than 2,000 young men in the militia, which is even more than the number of garrisons in some provinces.
Not to mention the cost of raising so many people, the fear of the imperial court alone was enough to give Huang Feihong a headache.
If it weren't for the Black Flag Army taking the lead to attract firepower, the militia at this time would never have had a good life.
But after some expansion, the militia's manpower now showed signs of approaching 3,000.
Three thousand men and horses, what is this concept?
I'm afraid the Qing court will explode...
As the imperial court repeatedly suppressed the Black Flag Army, Huang Feihong, the leader of the militia, felt a strong sense of danger.
The Black Flag Army was abolished by the imperial court for the fifth time.
There were originally more than 3,000 troops, but now there are less than 1,500.
Moreover, Liu Yongfu, the boss of the Black Flag Army, also told Huang Feihong a very bad news: the Black Flag Army is about to move to other places!
Once there is no cover from the Black Flag Army, the Foshan militia will be completely exposed to the court.
If Huang Feihong is a tycoon and has the desire to separate one party from another, he can still make some maneuvers. Whether it is relying on foreigners to respect his own self-respect or supporting the self-respect of bandits, there is a lot of room for maneuver.
It's a pity that Huang Feihong has a traditional country squire mentality. He may not be able to understand what the imperial court is doing. He has a broad mind and sees the suffering of the people, but he definitely has no intention of confronting the imperial court.
Apart from anything else, the scale of the vigilante group is so large, and with Huang Feihong's reputation and status, he can definitely secretly control the entire Foshan territory.
But he didn't do this. On the contrary, he also strongly restrained the vigilante group members and did not allow them to get too much control over the city and local areas.
This involves not only local administrative power, but also considerable economic interests.
That is to say, the core senior officials of the militia, especially Wu Dong, had no intention of playing around and helped suppress the restlessness and dissatisfaction within the militia, otherwise Huang Feihong might have capsized.
But at this time, no matter how peaceful Huang Feihong is, he must face up to the huge hidden dangers brought by the scale of the vigilante group at this time.
As a result, Huang Feihong chaired an internal meeting of high-level militiamen.
When Wu Dong arrived at the meeting place, he saw Liu Yongfu, the boss of the Black Flag Army, also there. Although he didn't know what was going on, he still took the initiative to say hello.
"You're a good boy. If I had known you had such great abilities, I would have wanted to get you into the Black Flag Army no matter what!"
When he said this, Liu Yongfu sighed repeatedly, as if he was "regretful".
Wu Dong smiled silently and did not answer the question.
Telling the truth hurts feelings...
It is impossible for him to join the Black Flag Army unless Liu Yongfu changes his mind.
Speaking of which, what Liu Yongfu did was very much like an enhanced version of Song Jiang.
At the beginning, he got involved with the Tiandihui, which aimed to fight against the Qing Dynasty, and became famous. At the best time, he created a world in Annan.
The highlight moment was naturally when Annan defeated the French army. It is not an exaggeration to call him an 'anti-French hero'.
As a result, after being recruited by the Qing court, he took his honesty and duty a little too far.
The imperial court laid off troops in five consecutive waves. The Black Flag Army, which originally had more than 3,000 troops, was suddenly weakened to less than 1,500.
Faced with this kind of suppression, Liu Yongfu said nothing or did nothing, without the slightest thought of resistance.
With Liu Yongfu's attitude, how could Wu Dong dare to mess with him?
To be honest, the attitude was almost exactly the same as that of Song Jiang after he was recruited.
Whatever the final result of Song Jiang was, Liu Yongfu was not much better.
Whenever Liu Yongfu was tough on the court, Wu Dong could not show any sign of it.
Even if you don't directly join the Black Flag Army, there is no big problem in making suggestions to help the Black Flag Army develop and grow, or in other words, maintain a stable state.
At the moment, Liu Yongfu looked resigned, so naturally Wu Dong would not express anything.
"A Dong, this is the situation!"
Here, everyone has arrived, Huang Feihong directly explained the situation, and finally said distressed: "The scale of the militia is really too big. When Mr. Liu takes people away, I'm afraid the court won't be able to accommodate us!"
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became dull and depressing.
Even though he has a hot temper, Zhu Rong, who has always disliked the actions of the government and dared to speak out, fell into silence at this time.
In fact, just yelling will not solve the problem at all.
"You don't need to worry so much!"
Wu Dong, however, did not take it seriously and said calmly: "As the saying goes, a big tree has branches. Since the scale of the militia will cause trouble if it is too large, let's split it up!"
Split up vigilante groups?
The top leaders of the militia present, including Liu Yongfu, were all stunned, feeling that Wu Dong's proposal was too unreliable...
