Some people here may ask, why is the principal so easy to talk to now and always responds to Zhou Wen's requests?
In fact, from the principal's point of view, rectifying Yangtze River shipping, which has been in chaos for decades, is also what he has in mind.
As the head of a country, how could he tolerate the Yangtze River, known as the main water transport artery of China, to remain in such a state of disorder.
But at present, he is still powerless. Except for Jiangsu, although other provinces are also under the rule of the National Government, many local governments can only be regarded as allies at best and cannot be directly controlled.
These allies were all the forces that supported him during the Northern Expedition or the Great War in the Central Plains. Now he cannot and does not dare to just kill them and cause chaos and chaos across the country.
Under such circumstances, if he sends a large army to suppress bandits on other people's territory, it will easily cause misunderstandings, but if he only sends a small number of troops, the bandits may be suppressed instead, which would be a joke.
And now that Zhou Wen has taken the initiative to take over this hot potato, the principal is naturally happy to go along with the situation. Of course, the success is the credit of the Military Commission. If it fails, there is no need to bear any responsibility or spend any money.
Of course, from the principal's point of view, whether it was national strategy or the Military Commission's dividends from the Yangtze River Company, he also hoped that Zhou Wen could succeed, so he gave the green light to Zhou Wen's request and even gave him a copy of the secret order from the Attendant's Office.
Moreover, he also knew that Zhou Wen had a strange kind of luck, and coupled with the super combat power of him and his soldiers, he was just like a dragon crossing the river. Maybe things that seemed to be difficult for others were in his hands.
It will be solved easily.
So the day Zhou Wen got the secret order, he took his brothers and hired a boat and went up the river.
As for dealing with a few bandits, Zhou Wen would not bring all the brothers from the first team with him. After all, the business in Shanghai has just started, and someone still needs to be guarded.
So, after he discussed with Miaohua, Zhao Xiaojin took Niu Bao, Sun Dazhu and many Wudang disciples to stay at the base camp, responsible for taking care of the Lujiaqiao base and Fengyu dock under construction, and of course the defense company's business. In case something happens during this period
If business comes to your door, let little Henry and Zhao Xiaojin handle it as appropriate.
The affairs of Fengyu Terminal are completely handed over to Mr. Du's junior brother Su Jixian for overall management. After all, no one under Zhou Wen is good at this aspect. Su Jixian has been engaged in freight transportation for many years and is a member of the Youth Gang. The other one is Zhang Xiaoping's father-in-law-to-be.
It is most appropriate for him to manage the identity.
But even though Zhou Wen didn't bring many people with him this time, it can be said that all of them are masters who can stand alone.
Think about that time in Dawangzhuang, almost all the brothers at that time were cucumbers and eggs. After only a few months of training under Zhou Wen, they beat the bandits in Funiu Mountain to the point of crying, and made a few fortunes.
Windfall.
And the current team members, not to mention Zhang Xiaoping, Ti Jing and Xu Dacheng, are just ordinary team members of Li Hu and Er Gazi, including Tieniu. All of them are veterans with rich battlefield experience.
Yes, sending just one person can stir up a group of water bandits regardless of their size.
And the facts also prove this.
Just three days ago, they quietly came to Pengze County, adjacent to Hukou County, and were led by a local to directly find the most powerful and most vicious group of water bandits in Pengze County. The name of the water bandit leader is unknown.
The bandit's name is called Floating on the Water.
To be honest, this floating man on the water was not a fisherman, nor was he a hero who was forced by the government to rebel against the people. He was a robber for three generations and worked as a robber in a water bandit den called the Tiesuo Gang.
In terms of its origins, the Tiesuo Gang is somewhat related to the Caogang Gang who made a living by transporting grain during the Qing Dynasty.
But after the advent of troubled times, the original gangs fell apart long ago, and were replaced by various small gangs and water bandit gangs.
Three generations of this floating family have made a living by robbing on the water. They have been licking blood with their swords for too long, and they have long since taken human lives seriously, not only other people's, but also their own.
It is said that his water bandit grandfather and water bandit father both died violently in an internal fight over the gang leader. At that time, he only survived by jumping into the Yangtze River because of his good aptitude.
No one expected that just a few years later, this floating man would return to the Iron Cable Gang with seven or eight desperadoes.
But this time he came back not to fight with a knife, but with a dark and shiny steel gun.
Being familiar with the roads, he led his men into the mountain stronghold at night. Under a flurry of gunfire, the water bandits who usually relied on swords and spears to oppress the people suddenly panicked and became intimidated.
No matter how good you are in martial arts and dare to kill and fight, you still have to be a grandson in front of bullets.
Therefore, under the promise that they would only settle accounts with Shui Piao's enemies and never harm innocent people, the water bandits could only kneel down and beg for mercy, and sold out their gang leader, who was Shui Piao's enemy.
In front of a hundred or so people in the gang, Shui Piao killed the original gang leader and his entire family, while the gang leader himself scraped the man alive.
It is said that it lasted for three days, and the screams were still fresh in the memory of the gang members for countless years, and they were often awakened by nightmares at night.
And he also took the top position in the Tie Suo Gang.
And Floating on the Water has gone through countless life and death struggles to achieve the status he has today. If you know how to do this, don't expect a good death. So based on the idea of having a drink now, you will get drunk tomorrow, and don't care about the morals and gang rules.
, everything he does depends on his temper. Naturally, he offends other gangs and colleagues.
However, more than ten years ago, most of these water bandits were local fishermen. They carried out robberies with a big knife in their hands. At most, they only had a few firecrackers that were not sure whether they could be fired.
The opponent of eight quick guns.
As a result, within a radius of hundreds of miles in Pengze County, floating water has become the master of the water bandit gang in this area.
In addition, I don’t know if this person had served in the military when he was absconding. Anyway, he knew some specious military knowledge. Not only did he buy guns and ammunition from everywhere through deceit and abduction, but he also successfully trained dozens of henchmen.
, all dressed in black and carrying steel guns on their backs, their marksmanship was passable, but they became arrogant in the Pengze County area.
Because this man was a shady person, he was willing to take advantage of all land and waterways, and did everything he could to kill people and steal goods. He also had no regard for the government at all and refused to pay any tribute or filial piety. Naturally, he annoyed the officials of Pengze County.
Although there is no garrison in Pengze County, there is still a security group. Under the personal command of the county magistrate, nearly three hundred heavily armed security groups marched towards the mountain village floating on the water. They were determined to eliminate harm in the name of the country and return Pengze County to the village.
