In the headquarters, Xu Wangtang heard the noise outside the door. A soldier reported that Han Baihang was coming and making trouble at the door. He wanted to show off his power to Han Baihang, so he kept peeking in the room. When he saw the sentry, he fired his gun, and then he walked out slowly.
, pretending to be surprised and said: "I thought who was making trouble outside, it turned out to be Captain Han. You are a rare visitor, so you are not welcome at a distance!" He then pretended to scold the sentries: "How can you stop Captain Han if you don't have eyesight?"
If Captain Han comes again, he can enter without any permission."
The sentries said yes and retreated.
Xu Wangtang looked at Han Baihang and said: "Captain Han, the people below are ignorant. You, sir, have a lot of them, so don't be offended."
Han Baihang smiled slightly: "Commander Xu, your temple has many rules. I won't dare to come here again next time."
"Captain Han made fun of me!" Xu Wangtang laughed and invited Han Baihang inside for a discussion.
After entering the house, the two of them sat down. Han Baihang's guard put the heavy gift on the table. Xu Wangtang glanced at the gift, shook his head and said: "It cost Captain Han a lot of money. I wonder what Captain Han is doing?" He knew that Han Baihang didn't do anything.
Sanbaodian, simply skip the small talk process and ask straight to the point.
Han Baihang first waved his two guards to exit the door, then glanced at the guards standing beside Xu Wangtang and said: "Commander Xu, please move back the left and right sides."
Although Xu Wangtang couldn't figure out what Han Baihang wanted to talk about, he was not afraid of Han Baihang's tricks at his headquarters, so he waved his hand and said: "Get back and close the door."
At this time, Han Baihang came up with an idea: "Commander Xu, I discovered a big thing a few days ago. The central government has repeatedly issued orders not to allow local private manufacturing of weapons, but there are so many weapons workshops in Yongcheng. Isn't this going against the wind? Moreover, my investigation found that,
A large part of the weapons flowing out of these workshops have gone into the hands of bandits. No wonder the bandits have been suppressed repeatedly. I thought that in order to suppress bandits, the first step is to ban these illegal arms workshops. In this way, within a year and a half, the bandits in the territory will be wiped out.
Don’t worry about the purge, I’m here just to get your consent, how about we work together to ban it?”
Han Baihang thought Xu Wangtang would be very interested in these words, but he didn't expect Xu Wangtang's reaction to be cold. He laughed and said: "Captain Han, it's better to discuss this matter in the long term."
Han Baihang frowned and said, "How can we take a long-term approach?"
Xu Wangtang said slowly: "Actually, I know something about the weapons workshop. It is normal for towns and villages to make their own weapons in order to prevent bandits. It's just that the sale of weapons to bandits needs to be verified."
Han Baihang came to Xu Wangtang not to let him get along with Xini, and he said in a dissatisfied tone: "Commander Xu, there are garrison troops, militia groups, business groups, and your bandit suppression troops in the county. They are strong enough to suppress bandits. I don't think these privately made weapons
There is still a need for the workshop to exist. My original intention was for the two of us to work together to ban it. If you don’t want to, I can also do it alone. I just want to say sorry if I offend you."
Xu Wangtang said with a smile: "Captain Han, don't be anxious, we can discuss it slowly."
Han Baihang raised his wrist and glanced at his watch, and said: "I'm afraid we can't discuss it slowly. I've already given the order to the troops. In half an hour, a collection operation will be launched."
Xu Wangtang's expression changed, he stood up suddenly and shouted: "You can't be so messy, give the order to be lifted quickly."
An imperceptible sneer appeared on Han Baihang's face, and he said unhurriedly: "The order is issued, and it cannot be lifted. Commander Xu, just wait for the good news of the success of my operation."
Xu Wangtang's face trembled, and he gritted his teeth and said, "You will cause a big mess if you do this."
"Great order comes only after great chaos. If anyone is not convinced, just beat him until he is convinced!"
Han Baihang chuckled and said domineeringly. He glanced at Xu Wangtang, who looked ugly, and said: "By the way, I plan to gather the confiscated weapons workshops to establish Yongcheng Arsenal. I will be the major shareholder. I don't know.
Does Commander Xu have any intention to form a joint venture?"
Xu Wangtang was frowning and thinking about these words, when Han Baihang said quickly: "But I think Commander Xu is not interested in the arsenal, so I'll take my leave and come back to visit another day." He picked up the big-brimmed hat on the table and put it on his head.
Han Baihang was about to leave.
"Who says I'm not interested."
Xu Wangtang stared at Han Baihang closely for a while, then suddenly laughed, pointed at Han Baihang and said: "Captain Han, you had expected that I would agree."
Han Baihang smiled and said: "No fool will agree to win-win cooperation."
"good!"
Xu Wangtang raised his head and smiled, slammed the table and said: "Then I will risk my life to accompany you. Come here!"
"exist!"
More than a dozen tough-looking soldiers rushed out from the back hall, all carrying two twenty-gun box cannons. They looked very tough at first glance.
Han Baihang was shocked that Xu Wangtang was actually ambushing men. He forced himself to remain calm and sat motionless on his chair, but cold sweat broke out on his palms.
Xu Wangtang observed Han Baihang's every move with the corner of his eyes. When he found Han Baihang's calm demeanor, he felt a little sad. He had been in the army for half his life. If someone did this to him, although he wouldn't be panicked, he would definitely be.
He was a little panicked, but Han Baihang was only in his early twenties, but he could be so calm, and it would probably become a habit in the future. He suddenly couldn't help but have an idea, it would be better not to go against Han Baihang, maybe he could form a good relationship in the future, but
This thought only flashed through my mind. A heroic figure like him would not be willing to admit defeat.
"Immediately send an order, the militia and business groups cooperate with Captain Han to collect the soldiers' workshop without any mistakes!" Xu Wangtang ordered loudly.
Han Baihang breathed a sigh of relief, stood up from his chair, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you Commander Xu for your cooperation, farewell!"
"Go slowly without seeing me off!" Xu Wangtang said with cupped hands.
After Han Baihang left, Xu Wangtang's face turned cold. He paced back and forth in the room for a while and ordered: "Tell Luo Huzi to seize several large-scale military workshops before the officers and soldiers, and then disperse."
Let's go out and say that Han Baihang insisted on banning the military workshop, so let those villagers go to Han Baihang to make trouble."
…
The seizure operation went very smoothly. Facing the wolf-like army, those weapons workshops were like sheep waiting to be slaughtered. They chose to surrender without any resistance. After the army took control of the weapons workshops, they immediately used the requisitioned mules and carriages to handle the weapons.
The machines were unloaded, loaded onto trucks, and transported to Yong'an Town. Xu Wangtang was not to be outdone. He mobilized 80% of his troops and looted the machines. By the time the heads of each town came to their senses, more than half of the weapons workshops had been emptied. These people were furious.
People came to my door and asked for an explanation.
