Speaking of the Ding family in Yongcheng, it is a well-known wealthy family. Not only is the Ding family extremely wealthy, but also in terms of family background, it is also a famous family with heirlooms of poetry and calligraphy. Counting three generations up, there are two of them.
Jinshi, the highest official position was the governor of Shaanxi. Although the descendants of the Republic of China had little official luck, the heritage of the family for hundreds of years was undoubtedly revealed. The Ding family members were like the roots of a big tree extending to all walks of life in Yongcheng, making Ding
My family has deep roots in Yongcheng and is extremely powerful. Every county magistrate who came here had to give way to me.
Just when the police went to the county government office to report to Mei Changyuan, some members of the regiment had already rushed to the Ding family mansion in Chengguan and told Ding Zuopeng, the president of the Yongcheng Chamber of Commerce, about the arrival of the officers and soldiers. Ding Zuopeng was in his forties and looked handsome.
Tangtang had been a member of the Henan Provincial Government a few years ago. He dressed in a very Western style and talked like a foreigner. He liked to eat Western food and drink coffee. However, he still had feudal ideas in his heart. The entire Yongcheng County had abandoned kneeling and kowtow. Only the Ding family was still interested in kneeling and kowtow.
set.
Ding Zuopeng sat calmly on the rosewood inlaid porcelain Taishi chair, holding a cup of fragrant coffee in his hand. He took a sip and asked, "How many troops are there? What is the name of the leader?"
"
The regiment member knelt on the ground and raised his head: "There are only a hundred or so people. The company commander leading the troops is named Han Baihang. He is a young officer in his twenties."
Ding Zuopeng put down his coffee thoughtfully, called the butler and said, "Prepare a big gift and take it to the company commander of the officers and soldiers. I'll ask Ding to sweep the couch to welcome you."
The housekeeper hesitated and said: "Sir, you didn't give any gifts when the county magistrate took office. Now that a company commander has taken office, you have given him a big gift. I'm afraid it won't be good for the county magistrate to know."
Ding Zuopeng wiped his mustache and sneered: "What do you know? Mei Changyuan is just a nerd. It's easy for me to deal with him. I don't need to be polite to him. But the officers and soldiers are different. They have guns in their hands, so they can win over Captain Han."
, it’s me, Ding, who has the final say in Yongcheng.”
The housekeeper nodded suddenly and left quickly to get ready.
…
Mangdang Mountain, north of Yongcheng, is world-famous for Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, who killed the White Snake in his uprising. It lasts for more than 40 miles and has more than 20 peaks, large and small. There are more than a dozen groups of bandits here, with thousands of people in large groups and hundreds of small ones.
, the whole bandit den was destroyed, business travelers were extinct, and the people's demeanor changed and they could not avoid it.
Heifengkou, any place with this name in the mountains is an extremely dangerous place. Most of them are occupied by bandits. This place is no exception. It is occupied by a group of bandits called Heifengzhai. Heifengzhai has been in Yongcheng area for decades.
It is said that the first general of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was a general of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. After the fall of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, he went up to the mountains and fell grass. He was a notorious bandit among the Yongcheng bandits, with more than a thousand bandits. In the year of 1911, they conquered Xiaoxian County.
, was finally repelled by Zhang Xun, and his strength ranked among the top three among the many bandits in Yongcheng. Bandits like Heifengzhai guarded the money path of Heifengkou, and generally would not do kidnapping and extortion. They
He is more willing to go against the government. In the past, Zhu Chunzi was surrounded by officers and soldiers, and it was Heifeng Village who sent troops to rescue him. Therefore, the two groups of bandits were very friendly.
Hutou Peak on the east side of Heifengkou has a cliff with a height of seven or eight feet, making it difficult to climb. There are usually no gangsters guarding it.
Zhou Qing was lying in the lush grass at the foot of Hutou Peak, holding a telescope and looking at the peak carefully to check if there were any gangsters guarding him. After watching for ten minutes, there was no sign of the gangsters. He felt relieved.
, raised his hand and moved forward.
Several soldiers ran out from the grass at a brisk pace. They had large bundles of ropes wrapped around their bodies. They spit into their hands at the bottom of the cliff, and then climbed up like apes through the cracks in the rocks. In no time,
He climbed to the top of the mountain without any danger, and then hung the rope from the top.
"superior!"
Zhou Qing took the lead in climbing up the rope, followed by a dense crowd of soldiers who swarmed up Hutou Peak.
…
In the stockade on Heifengkou, it is said that the stockade actually has only a dozen thatched huts. The bandits are cooking in pots. There are several long tables in the open space. Some of the dozens of bandits are drinking from big bowls and eating meat with big mouthfuls.
They were chatting and laughing, and it was very lively. Although the times were bad, the life of bandits was very prosperous. No wonder so many people did not want to be poor farmers, but were willing to become bandits.
Ordinary bandits eat outside the house, but inside the thatched hut is where the bandit leader stays. There is a square table inside for Mr. Guan. In front of several bandit leaders, the cups and dishes are messy and the smell of alcohol is high. There are also several women accompanying them. During this period, a woman
They also sang a little song, and the bandit leaders smiled lustfully and moved their hands up and down the bodies of their respective women.
"Zhu Chunzi, the seventh master, is brave enough to tie up the county magistrate's concubine. We haven't been active for some time. If you want me to go to the county to have a good time, I heard that the Xiao County magistrate has four beautiful houses.
My concubine, let’s go water his dry land.” A bandit leader wiped the drink from his lips and said with a wink to a thin black man sitting in the seat.
The thin, dark man is the seventh boss of Heifeng Village. His name is Fei Dayan. He has a pair of big copper bell eyes, which is very scary. He is responsible for collecting tolls on the commercial road along Heifengkou. He has hundreds of people with guns under his command. He listens to the news.
He laughed at the bandit's words, pinched the woman's breast hard, and said with a lewd smile: "It's so rare for the county magistrate's wife to have a wife. I like pretty female students."
The bandit leader said: "It's simple. There is a girls' middle school in Yongcheng. I visited it last time I went to the city. The road has already been figured out."
Fei Dayan patted the table and said, "Okay, pick a good day and go down the mountain."
…
The bandits were doing whatever they wanted on the mountain, but they didn't know that the army had already targeted them. Why Zhou Qing came to Mangdang Mountain not far away was of course under Han Baihang's order. Han Baihang knew that Zhu Chunzi dared to kidnap the county magistrate.
The concubine, of course, was not just seeking money, she might have other purposes, and the three-day deadline made it impossible for him to wait any longer, so he came up with a plan to leverage others' strength. The inspiration for this plan came from the peace between China and the Soviet Union when they were at odds with each other.
Intimidation, Chairman Mao's method at that time was that if the Soviet Union dropped atomic bombs on China, China would drop atomic bombs on the United States. In the end, the United States had to intervene to mediate the crisis. This was the key to this strategy. The kidnapper was Zhu Chunzi, who was surrounded and suppressed by the army.
But it was Heifeng Village. Naturally, Heifeng Village was unwilling to fight with the officers and soldiers for something that was not their own, so they could only put pressure on Zhu Chunzi and release the hostages.
Of course, this strategy is only feasible in theory. After all, the thoughts of bandits cannot be treated as ordinary people. It cannot be ruled out that Heifeng Village will fight against the officers and soldiers regardless of force. Then there are two other benefits of encircling Heifeng Village. One is to establish prestige.
If the officers and soldiers dare to attack the strongest Heifeng Village first, the other bandits who are not as strong as Heifeng Village will become frightened, thereby frightening the bandits who are ready to move. Secondly, it will give Xuan He force and gain chips for subsequent negotiations. Zhu Chunzi must
After careful consideration, the fate of the officers and soldiers who offended them was determined.
Secretly, the officers and soldiers had already set up their machine guns. Four Madsen light aircraft were pointing directly at the bandits from the commanding heights. Once they opened fire, they were guaranteed to kill more than half of them. The other soldiers prepared their bayonets. The most taboo in fighting bandits was to shoot at them slowly.
He is naturally afraid of officers and soldiers, so he rushes forward with all his strength, regardless of the ruthless bandit, he will give in.
