The heavens start from Maoshan

"Twenty military trucks, ten in Zhenbei Camp, ten in Baoping Mountain, as for the township office."

Zhang Heng was silent for a while: "Going in and out by car is too isolated from the masses. I will buy you [-] bicycles and fast horses. You can use them when you go to the mountains and the countryside."

"Xie Patriarch."

Dakui is not picky.

For the public security patrol of the township office, it is good to have bicycles and horses, and you need to be of sufficient rank to ride in a car.

Zhang Zhentian is the future mayor of Dagou Town, and Zhang Zhenhu is the head of the militia group.

One of them is in charge of the government and the other is in charge of the army, and they are the right-hand man of Zhang Heng's men.

In contrast, the township office is only responsible for resolving disputes between neighbors and preventing thieves, and their importance is not comparable.

boom! !

Hundreds of wicked bandits were shot dead on the spot, and the cheers grew louder.

Laying down Baoping Mountain and slaughtering [-] bandits made the Zhang family in Dagou Town famous overnight.

It is believed that with the spread of merchants from the south to the north, it will not be long before the whole of Handong Province will know the name of Zhangjia in Dagou Town.

Because in the early days of the establishment of the Republic of China government, there was also consideration to exterminate the bandits in Baoping Mountain.

In the end, it was concluded that this was a hard bone, and it was more than worth the effort.

Now that the bandits have been exterminated by the Zhang family, the Zhang family will naturally be paid attention to by those who care.

This attention is good and bad.

Of course, whether good or bad, Zhang Heng is not afraid of it.

Chapter 32: No Selfishness

"Patriarch, a Song Commissioner came from the province. He brought ten pigs and three thousand oceans. He said he wanted to reward us for killing the bandits on Baoping Mountain. He also brought a few words."

mid-September.

The attention-grabbing follow-up is coming.

"What does that mean over there?"

Zhang Heng sat on the futon and asked with his eyes closed.

"The meaning over there is to ask if we have any ideas of being included."

Zhang Zhentian is already the mayor of Dagou Town at this time. Standing behind Zhang Heng, he said cautiously: "If we accept the recruitment, the higher authorities are willing to appoint us as the 114th Brigade of the Guangdong Army and give us a regular brigade establishment. , and promised to allow us to garrison Yangjiang."

"How many people, how much armor, how much food?"

"I didn't say that. It seems that Commissioner Song wants us to raise our own funds."

"Self-funded? Co-authors are given an empty title. After self-funding, I have to listen to them. This abacus is too loud, right? Do you think I am a bandit who has never seen the market?"

There was a hint of sneer at the corner of Zhang Heng's mouth: "How did you answer?"

"I didn't agree, I just said I couldn't be the master."

Zhang Zhentian replied.

"Ah."

Zhang Heng snorted and stopped answering.

Zhang Zhentian was a little rough, and he stayed on the side and hesitated.

After a stick of incense, one week of meritorious deeds.

Zhang Heng slowly opened his eyes and asked, "You said, is this a good thing or a bad thing?"

"It should be a good thing, right?"

Zhang Zhentian doesn't have much political consciousness, he can only say what he understands: "I heard that there are many factions in the southern country, and they do not have deep control over the various armies. Let us be stationed in Yangjiang, and if we raise our own military expenses, there must be local finance. indicated."

"In this way, we can reach out to the local finance, use the local money to support our army, turn back a brigade full of recruits, and become a warlord all the way."

Zhang Heng sighed: "Then what?"

"Then?"

Zhang Zhentian whispered: "Of course, it's to become bigger and stronger, recruit more troops, buy more horses, expand the site more, and occupy several prefectures and counties to be the commander."

"And then what?"

"And then?"

Zhang Zhentian thought for a while, and tentatively said: "We can also care about the three people. We will talk about whatever doctrine he wants to talk about. We may not be able to get the position of a police officer and a military governor in the end."

Zhang Heng nodded: "Go ahead."

Zhang Zhentian smiled bitterly: "No more."

"No, there is."

Zhang Heng took over the topic and continued: "How can there be a country that allows two governments to exist? The Republic of China government/government will not go north, and the Beiyang government/government will also go south, that's for sure."

"We accepted the appointment of the Southern Kingdom, which is equivalent to the label of the Southern Kingdom, which uses national justice to press you and ask you to send troops to the northern expedition. You have to obey orders, or you will be stabbed in the spine by the people."

"People say it's terrifying. At that time, we will be first-class cannon fodder. I'm afraid it won't work if we don't meet each other."

"If the Northern Expedition is won, we will be transferred to other provinces to be garrisoned and then suppressed."

"If you can carry it, you can still stay a little decent, but if you can't resist it, the only way to go is to turn on the electricity."

"In the end, you and I will come to Dagou Town, just like now, I will cultivate my way, and you will be your mayor, turning everything into a joke."

Zhang Heng looked up at Zhang Zhentian: "I'm not the real dragon emperor, neither are you, at most we are Chen Sheng and Wu Guang who opened the way for the real dragon, and we can't be Liu Bang."

"One day, you might be able to come back, and I might be able to come back. I don't know how many of the disciples in Dagou Town will come back."

"Besides, is it so enjoyable?"

"I look at the princes of the world, there must be one who is a real dragon, going around..."

"Prosperity, the people suffer, death, the people suffer."

"There are things I can and will do, but there are things I can't and won't do."

"I hope you don't do it either, because what you're doing now is meaningless. If there is no real dragon, the world will not be harmonious."

"As for the Nanguo government/government, this year is the eighth year of the Republic of China. In the past eight years, do you think anything has changed from before?"

Zhang Zhentian shook his head.

Zhang Heng sighed and said, "Yes, nothing has changed. The world in the southern kingdom is still dominated by corrupt officials, cruel officials are rampant, and the common people live in fire and water. Do you think such bureaucrats can win the hearts of the people? Without the hearts of the people, they can win the world. ?"

"Patriarch, what should we do then?"

Zhang Zhentian was very sad.

"Wait, there must be a king's prosperity in the new year. Before that, we just need to manage ourselves well."

"Let's not talk about it, first Dagou Town, then Yangjiang County, Goose City, Rongcheng, and Kangcheng."

"These four counties occupy one place, and the southeast can be to Macau, the south can be to Haikou, the southwest can be to Wanglin, the North Sea, and the west is North Vietnam. There is a basis for advancing and retreating. Sitting and watching the world, you and I have no worries, no more than a turtle. It's better to go forward like Sun, and be a pawn for others?"

Zhang Zhentian said hesitantly: "Patriarch, we don't accept the appointment. I'm afraid they won't hand over the site to us."

"Why do you want them to give it, don't we have it?"

"The world is so chaotic right now, and there are warlords everywhere who don't listen to propaganda. If others can occupy the county seat and proclaim themselves generals, can't we?"

"Besides, did I say I don't support the Southern Kingdom?"

"I support it. The taxes that should be paid are quite a lot. When you have nothing to do, I will take you to fight bandits and destroy bandits. There are so many upper-level factions in the southern country, one more of us is not too much, right?"

Zhang Heng does not think that he is a real dragon and can build a world of great harmony.

What I seek is not the great harmony of the world, but the rise of the sky, and the immortality of those who hear the Tao.

Therefore, he will only do things within his ability, such as changing the people's livelihood in Dagou Town and changing the status quo of Jiangyang County.

He never considered what was too far or could not be done.

Because he is familiar with history and knows that the current southern country was established by a group of former masters studying abroad. It can represent power, but not the people of Li.

Therefore, there are many problems in the South, and it is difficult to solve them at the root.

After all, to solve the root cause is to solve themselves, and they will not allow such a thing to happen.

......

On the second day, Commissioner Song left with joy.

Although he did not pull the Zhang family militia into the chariot, he did not gain anything.

For example, before leaving, Zhang Heng gave him a pair of Yu Ruyi and a lot of gifts, which seemed to be of great value. This trip was not in vain.

"Empty mouth and white teeth, giving me the name of an empty brigade commander and trying to make me die. What a joke."

Zhang Heng looked at Commissioner Song who was like a thief, holding Yu Ruyi and leaving happily, and whispered: "Pass my order, from now on, the militia regiment will be changed to the first regiment of Yangjiang self-defense, Zhang Zhenhu will be the regiment commander, and immediately go to Yangjiang County. Pull out and take over the city defense."

"In addition, draw people from the first regiment to form the second Yangjiang regiment and rush to Goose City."

"Cousin, you lead the team there yourself, hand over the man to Zhang Muzhi, and say that I appointed him as the head of the Yangjiang Second Regiment, and Xiao Liuzi as the deputy head, and tell him that he can use people as he pleases. My Zhang family sent over to help him deal with Huang Silang and the four major families of Goose City, the Zhang family will always be his backing."

Hearing this, Zhang Zhentian's eyes lit up: "Patriarch, Gao, Zhang Muzhi is in Goose City right now, fighting against Huang Silang and the four major families to the death or to the death. Foreign aid is urgently needed."

"Our people went over and appointed Zhang Muzhi as the head of the regiment. He didn't want to deny our favor."

"Later, when he wins the fight against Huang Shilang, the power of my Zhang family will be able to take root in Goose City, and replace the four major families of Goose City in one fell swoop. Picking peaches without blood, high, really high!"

"What picking peaches!"

Zhang Heng raised his brows and pressed his fingers hard on the table: "I sent troops to Goose City and appointed Zhang Muzhi as the head of the regiment, for the sake of the overall situation of Yangjiang, Goose City, Rongcheng, Kangcheng, and the four counties' joint protection. To maintain local stability and benefit the people's livelihood, we are not conspirators, ambitionists, nor military commanders who will do anything to achieve their goals."

"Yes, patriarch, it was me who was wrong."

Zhang Zhentian hurriedly said, "I am too selfish and misunderstood your good intentions."

Chapter 33: Letter from Zhang Muzhi

Two days later.

"Patriarch Zhang Heng personally opened it."

"I'm sorry, for my brother, everything will be fine in Goose City. It won't be long before Huang Shilang and the four major families roam around."

"The people you sent, I stayed for my brother, you don't know, the little six who received your letter were so happy that they didn't sleep all night last night, they kept pulling me and asking me how to lead the team. "

"To be honest, you, being an uncle, are too flattering for Xiao Liuzi."

"How can he be the deputy commander? If I tell you, he can't even be the platoon commander."

"But don't worry, the sixth son is my son. I will help him if he doesn't understand, and won't let him disperse the team."

"In addition, there is something else I want to tell you. I think there is a lot to do with the four-county joint insurance you mentioned."

"With me here in Goose City, there will be no trouble."

"Besides, I have already had a showdown with Lao Tang. He really isn't Master Tang, but Ma Bond."

"And he told me that he didn't come to Goose City to take office, but Cannes City."

"Goose City is dangerous, Cannes City is rich."

"I have returned the appointment letter of the county magistrate of Kangcheng to him, and let him go to Kangcheng and take office calmly."

"Before he left, the old horse promised that the four-county joint insurance would be counted on him."

"The Cannes city where he is located is adjacent to Macau and Macau. It has a unique geographical location and can help a lot. I also asked you if there is anyone there. If there is, I will send hundreds of people to him. Otherwise, he, the county magistrate, has no soldiers and arrives. Cannes is probably also a puppet and doesn't make a sound when farting."

"Looking forward to meeting, Zhang Muzhi left a letter..."

Zhang Heng looked at the letter, and the smile on his face could not be stopped.

"Sure enough, it's up to people to make things happen, and it's up to heaven to make things happen. When you're lucky, God is helping you."

Zhang Heng handed the letter to Zhang Zhentian.

Zhang Zhentian looked at it and said happily: "Ma Bond went to Cannes City, so you can say that Cannes City will also be ours in the future?"

After he finished speaking, he put down the envelope and said: "The big plan for the four counties to jointly protect the city is now only about Rongcheng. Once Rongcheng starts, the four counties can support [-] troops. When Commissioner Song comes down, he will not be a brigade commander. If you can speak, you have to be a division commander, or even a military commander."
