With Zhang Tianhao's narration, He Jian proved that although Ma Gang and Zhuang Xiaoyan had some doubts about Zhang Tianhao's changes, after all, he was still the same person.
All of this attributes Zhang Tianhao's changes to the brain injury that caused him to change. Even his personality has changed a lot, especially compared to before, he is much less irritable and a little more calm.
"Captain Xiao, we still have food for tomorrow. How do you think we can solve this problem?"
"Didn't Lao Liu and the others send it over?" Zhang Tianhao asked with some confusion, "Didn't I discuss it with Lao Liu and the others a few days ago and ask them to send it?"
But he immediately understood that it wasn't that they didn't want to send it, but that they couldn't deliver it. Even if they wanted to send it, it would take some time.
"Xiao He, go call someone for a meeting. We must hold a meeting to solve the problems we are facing now and establish our own base area. If we cannot establish a base area, we will be dragged to death sooner or later if we continue."
Zhang Tianhao thought for a while and then said to Old Chopper: "Old Chopper, we will make dry food today. We will march overnight to find a place to reestablish our garrison."
"yes!"
It's just two taels of grain to make dry food. It's estimated that each person only needs 2 or 3 taels, which is pretty good. But Xiao Yushan's orders still need to be obeyed.
Soon, the three team captains and Ma Gang came to the room where Zhang Tianhao was. In the entire camp, only three people had separate rooms. One was the health worker Zhuang Xiaoyan, the other was Xiao Yushan, and the last one was the instructor Ma Gang.
.
"Instructor, three captains, everyone knows the situation of our Xingyang guerrillas now. We are poor, have no food, no clothing, and even no guns or artillery. What should we do? We will find a way to solve it ourselves. If we can't solve it, then we have only
It’s a road to death.”
"The biggest problem now is the problem of food and guns. I have already thought about this. Tonight, we will attack Zhaojiazhuang at night and then establish a base with Zhaojiazhuang as our base!"
"Captain, is it too early for us to take Zhaojiazhuang now? After all, our strength is still very weak, and the entire Zhaojiazhuang is not a good place!"
"Yes, if we capture Zhaojiazhuang, as soon as the security team comes, we will have to escape again. Isn't it worth the loss!"
"Yes, if this could be done, we would have done it long ago. There is no need to delay it until now. These security groups are very vicious black dogs. If we occupy Zhaojiazhuang, they will counterattack crazily. Then we...
"
Zhang Tianhao also understands these people's worries, and even knows that once a black dog finds their location, they will probably be served in a pot.
"I have already thought about this. After a while, I will arrange for Xiao He to go to the county seat and deliver a bullet to the head of the security group and the county magistrate. Bullets and peaceful coexistence are their own choices. If they choose bullets, then we will only
We can fight. If we choose to live in peace, then we will live in peace. Anyway, after taking Zhaojiazhuang, we will not suffer."
"But with the few weapons we have, there is no way we can fight with the security team. We need bullets without bullets, weapons without weapons. There are no more than fifteen guns that can be fired."
"It's okay. As long as people are around, can I still let myself suffocate myself with urine?"
That night, Zhang Tianhao led a group of eighty-two members to directly attack Zhaojia Village at night and captured the entire Zhaojia Village in one fell swoop. Even the landlords of Zhaojia Village were captured alive by them.
After taking Zhaojiazhuang, the supplies of the entire guerrilla group were guaranteed to a certain extent, and ten guns were harvested. There were almost twenty-five guns that could be fired. Of course, the box cannon in Zhang Tianhao's hand, as well as Ma Gang,
They are all box cannons.
Recruit people, and according to Zhang Tianhao's request, carry out key clearances in the surrounding villages, including Shijing Village, Nangang Village, Fengjia Village and more than a dozen nearby villages.
But all this was completed within half a month, and all the landowners here were not sent to trial, but were used by Zhang Tianhao. They were still landowners in name, but their families were all sent to Zhaojiazhuang to participate in labor.
At the same time, the entire guerrilla group also began to recruit troops frantically. These soldiers directly recruited troops from a dozen surrounding villages. Every time they captured a village, they sent people to recruit troops. After half a month, the number of the entire guerrilla group reached 300.
Seven people.
This is almost the size of half a battalion. If it were a smaller battalion, it would be almost the size of a small battalion. There are only less than a hundred guns, and the only ones who can be assigned guns are the original veteran members, and
Some of the new team members have guns, but not all of them are good guns, they are all bad guns that can't fire.
That night, Zhang Tianhao looked at the map and the direction of Cuimiao Town and still felt that the time was not yet ripe. There were still some conditions needed to capture Cuimiao Town.
It's okay to occupy the village, but occupying the town will attract the attention of all parties, especially the security group.
Nowadays, there are more than 300 guerrillas, many of whom do not have weapons, but they still have to train during the day, or in other words, train in the morning, and they are busy with farming in the afternoon. They also need to eat, and they cannot rely entirely on the food of the villagers.
During this half month, He Jian accidentally fell into a lake and drowned while he was out. And no one in the entire guerrilla group knew Zhang Tianhao's identity.
…
In Xingyang County, Zhang Tianhao led two guards and went directly to the county magistrate's office of Xingyang County Government.
"Hello, County Magistrate Liu. I have been entrusted by the head of Shi Village in Cuimiao Town to come and ask for instructions from the county head. During this period, the red bandits in the mountain were hunted down by the security team. Sometimes they would come down the mountain to grab food. Ten
The village has to prepare to set up a joint prevention and security team!"
"I would like to ask the county magistrate to pay more attention to this matter. Please accept this small amount of respect!"
As he spoke, he took out a small yellow croaker from his pocket and handed it over.
Originally, County Magistrate Liu was extremely unhappy with Zhang Tianhao, a strange visitor, but after seeing the little yellow croaker, his eyes instantly lit up.
"You want to set up a joint defense village to prevent bandits from coming down the mountain. That's how it works, right?"
"Mr. County Chief, you have such a good memory, high, high!" Flattery threw him away as if he didn't want money. At the same time, Zhang Tianhao said seriously, "It's just that we need a name and want to establish a security company. As for the
For guns and ammunition, please ask the county magistrate for more help."
As he said that, he directly took out the application form written by the village chiefs of the ten villages, that is, the landowners of the ten villages. It had the signatures, seals, or fingerprints of each landowner on it.
"Okay, okay, if we are all like you, then why do we, the red bandits in Xingyang, have to worry about being wiped out!" County Magistrate Liu almost burst into laughter. After all, these guns and bullets are all money. He at least
You will also make some money from it.
Everything else is just a matter of words.
"Okay, your name is Guan Yongqiang. Since I recommend you as the company commander, I will appoint you as the company commander. You are the eldest son of Guan in Shijing Village. Okay, okay!"
"Thank you, Mr. County Chief. All the suppression of bandits is for the party and the country. The last time the bandits sent bullets to the County Chief, we have killed more than 30 people. Now there are still more than 20 bandits left. In the near future,
, we will wipe them out, restore Xingyang’s innocence, and restore your reputation.”
"Yes, yes, you have done a good job. Let's do this. I will now appoint you as the commander of the security company of Cuimiao Village. How many people do you plan to have?"
"One hundred and twenty people, exactly the size of a company, and they are full!"
"Okay, I'll have someone allocate 200 sets of military uniforms for you, but military uniforms cost money, you see?"
"No problem. When the time comes, I will send it to you, as well as a gun. This is the deposit. Please help me, Master Liu!" He took out another small yellow croaker and stuffed it into it.
It wasn't his money anyway, so he didn't feel bad about spending it at all. It was the money of the landlords in ten villages. They seized it all and naturally used it as public funds for the guerrillas.
