Taking Down the County Town and Seeking a Collection
After spending a few hours to take down the two towns around Fuxing, Huikou Town and Xiacang Town, they began to recruit new soldiers. Zhang Mo led the 1st and 2nd battalions and set off for Fuyu Town. They were prepared to take down the county first before exterminating the bandits in Luohan Mountain.
Two hundred fully armed soldiers headed towards the county town. The county town didn't know that a unit was preparing to attack the county town. The reconnaissance platoon took the lead to investigate the situation in the county town. Knowing oneself and knowing the enemy, they knew that they would win every battle. Even if they were only attacking a security regiment, they would take the stance of a lion hunting a rabbit. Because a small mistake could cause casualties. In order to minimize casualties, Zhang Mo still felt that they had to fight steadily.
Wang Qiang brought two soldiers and changed into ordinary people's clothes as they walked into the small county town. They saw seven or eight security guards standing at the city gate. One of the second lieutenant was sitting under the shade of a tree, drinking and eating peanuts. His life was not bad. The rest of the soldiers were fishing for money at the city gate. They could casually pay the entrance fee and exit fee. If they did not pay, they would be arrested. No matter how much they had to pay, they had to pay. Therefore, in order not to be arrested, they would usually choose to pay.
"Boss, you've worked hard!" Wang Qiang brought two scouts and took out ten yuan worth of coins. The security guards saw it and smiled happily as they made way for Wang Qiang and the others to enter the city.
After a day of investigation, Wang Qiang had a clear understanding of the situation of the entire security regiment. The security regiment was nominally a regiment, but in fact, there were less than 300 people. More than half of them were old, weak, sick, and disabled. They were there to fill in the number of people to deal with the inspection. The rest were the security captain and the county head.
The head of the security team had a lover. Other than going home on the first and fifteenth of the month, he basically stayed at his lover's place. The county head often stayed at the only brothel in the county. After figuring out their movements, he was ready to take down the security team the next night.
On the second day, more than ten soldiers had already infiltrated the county town. They were hiding in the city, preparing to take down the security chief and the county head as soon as the battle started. At night, the security chief and the county head lived their daily lives. As soon as they lay down, they heard gunshots outside. They were so scared that they quickly got out of bed to take out their guns to see what was going on.
"Clang!"
The head of security, who hadn't reacted after the door was kicked open, had seven or eight guns pointed at his head. He was so scared that he didn't dare to move. The county head was also arrested, his clothes disheveled.
The battle at the city gate lasted for less than ten minutes. The security regiment did not have a single machine gun. With only a few broken guns, they were no match for Zhang Mo's troops. After seven or eight people died, they raised their hands and surrendered. In less than ten minutes, the county's defense force was lifted.
"How are the casualties?" Zhang Mo stood on the low city wall and asked.
"6 lightly injured, 2 heavily injured, no casualties!”Liu Haisheng reported.
"We raided the security regiment leader's and the county head's houses!”Zhang Mo was short of money, so he would definitely ransack his house immediately.
A group of soldiers barged into the security regiment commander's house. The security regiment commander's wife hissed and bit like a shrew. No wonder the security regiment commander didn't usually go home and had a mistress outside.
"Bang!"
"Do you still think that your family is in charge of the county?”A second lieutenant who was leading the team fired at the sky. Only then did the wife of the commander of the security regiment react and immediately changed her mode. She cried and made a scene.
"Drag him out and tie him to a tree!" The second lieutenant signaled for a few soldiers to pull the shrew out and tie her to a tree so that she could struggle.
The four soldiers then tied the shrew up on a tree. One or two of them really couldn't do anything to this 170-pound shrew.
"What the f * ck! What a jerk!" The shrew was tied to a tree and still did not stop shouting. The second lieutenant walked over and directly smashed the shrew's face with the butt of his gun. It was only after blood splattered all over that the shrew finally stopped.
After occupying the county, they immediately issued a new policy to reduce the taxes of all farmers. This made the farmers in the county boil. After being farmers for so long, this was the first time they heard that they did not have to pay taxes. Most of them were in a state of doubt.
However, the business tax had increased. In troubled times, firearms were always the most profitable industry. Zhang Mo allowed merchants to purchase firearms in Susong County and sell them. As for how much they sold, it was up to you. A brand new Mauser 98K rifle was sold for 30 yuan and 50 yuan was not a problem at all. On the other hand, the price of the weapons built by Zhang Mo from the factory was halved to only 10 yuan each. Selling 30 yuan each would earn 20 yuan each. At first, the merchants were all watching. However, he soon discovered that this thing was very popular among bandits, warlords, and even the national army.
"Guild Leader! A total of 370,000 yuan was confiscated!”Liu Haisheng reported. Zhang Mo rewarded each soldier who participated in the battle with two pieces of silver. The soldiers were all delighted.
"How many new recruits did you recruit?" Zhang Mo asked after two days of rest.
"More than 400 people have signed up!" Liu Haisheng continued to report.
"Pull these 400 people to Renaissance and hand them over to Zhao Demin for training!”Zhang Mo ordered. At the same time, he incorporated the entire security regiment. He kicked out the old, weak, sick, and some evildoers. The remaining less than a hundred people were randomly incorporated into the first and second battalions. The troops were also considered to have expanded a little. They began to take care of Luohan Mountain.
In order to ensure the safety of the entire county, some of the influential people in the county had paid 10,000 yuan to reward the Wei Army. At the same time, they had also contributed to the suppression of the bandits. Zhang Mo still had to give these people a good beating. Otherwise, it wouldn't be good to be scared. After all, he couldn't just rely on force to settle the entire county. He still had to rely on the support of these people with prestige.
"Regiment Commander Zhang, it's an honor to have you come to the Liu residence!”Old Master Liu was waiting for Zhang Modao at the door with some of the other famous people in the county.
"Old Master Liu is too polite! I can't help it. I'm busy with work! I've wasted everyone's time! The corrupt county head has just finished his interrogation!" Zhang Mo said with an embarrassed expression, but to everyone, it seemed like he was trying to give them a beating. Their expressions were a little bad, and their smiles were a little stiff.
"Everyone, be at ease! What the county head did was his own fault. Even if he reported anyone here, I wouldn't blame him. The county head must have threatened everyone to do something they shouldn't have done when he was in office!”Zhang Mo continued to say that after listening to Zhang Mo's words, his neck felt cold.
"Commander Zhang, please come in! Please come in!" Liu Fu bent down and gestured for Zhang Mo to come in.
"Everyone, please! Everyone, please!" Zhang Mo also stretched out his hand to signal for everyone to follow, but no one dared to take a step forward, waiting for Zhang Mo to follow first.
"Everyone, we are all famous people in the county! I'll have to rely on you guys in the future! Let me know if any of the young masters can read and write! I'll arrange it! Arrange everything! Those who were willing to lead troops and those who were willing to work in the office were arranged to work in the county!”Zhang Mo promised.
"Thank you, Commander Zhang!" Everyone cupped their hands in gratitude.
"Of course! There will always be people who can't stand me! I know this! You can see that I'm easy to talk to, but sometimes I'm not easy to talk to either! The head of the security regiment and the county head will be executed tomorrow afternoon! This is the consequence of going against me! Do you think I should die?" Zhang Mo threatened everyone present.
"Damn it! Damn it!" Everyone nodded like little chicks. Seeing that it was about time, Zhang Mo didn't say anything more and started to talk about some casual things. Everyone also toasted each other.
When Zhang Mo left the Liu residence, the rest of the people heaved a sigh of relief. Some of them even had wet backs. After all, they were facing a person who had the power of life and death. If they were not careful, their entire family would suffer. Who couldn't be careful?
"Everyone, if you have an extra son, send one to the military camp to build a good relationship! More important than anything else! Tomorrow, I'll pack up 20,000 yuan and send it to the military camp to comfort the soldiers!”Liu Fu suggested.
"I only have one son! How are we going to send it!" A wealthy merchant spread his hands and said in a troubled manner.
"Don't you have many nephews? Send a nephew there!" Another squire suggested.
"Will that work?" The merchant asked carefully.
"It's better than nothing!" Liu Fu looked at the merchant as if he was looking at a fool.
"Can a daughter do it? I heard that the Wei Country Army is recruiting female soldiers!" The merchant asked.
"Why didn't I think of that! This was a good idea! Sending his daughter away! Perhaps Commander Zhang had taken a fancy to someone, and that person's family would be able to soar in the future!”When Liu Fu heard that, he immediately felt that it was good. In this day and age, daughters were not worth much, and sons were the heirs.
The soldiers in the county courtyard were training inside. A man quietly leaned against the wall and looked at the well-equipped soldiers who were training inside with envy. Just then, Zhang Mo came back from eating and saw someone leaning against the wall.
"You go back first! Let me see what this guy is up to!" Zhang Mo motioned for the guards to go back first. He took off his military uniform and handed it to the guards before climbing up the wall.
"What are you doing?" Zhang Mo's sudden words scared the man so much that he almost fell down. It was only because Zhang Mo pulled him that he did not fall down.
"Who are you?" the man asked after climbing back up.
"I'm here to watch the show. What about you?" Zhang Mo replied.
"I'm also here to watch the show!" the man replied.
"Did you see anything?" Zhang Mo continued to ask.
"Excellent equipment! Training is also good!" The man praised.
"Brother, you have good taste! What was his name? I haven't consulted you yet." Zhang Mo looked at the man carefully and asked. A commoner wouldn't be able to tell, nor would he climb over the wall. He could see envy in his eyes.
"Long Wenzhang!" The man carefully observed the movements of the soldiers in the courtyard and replied.
"Long Wenzhang? You're not studying soul summoning at home, but you're here to watch the soldiers 'training?”Zhang Mo was a little excited as he tried to see if it was the cannon fodder regiment commander, Long Wenzhang.
"How did you know about our family's Soul Summoning? Do you know him?" Long Wenzhang asked with a puzzled expression. This time, Zhang Mo could finally confirm that the person in front of him was the leader of the cannon fodder regiment.
