Late at night, the people in the fields packed up their farming tools and went home to sleep. However, how many people could sleep tonight? Zhao Wuliang's words made all the poor people who were farming the Zhao family's fields panic. The Zhao family was going to increase taxes again.。
"Father of the child, if this continues, perhaps by the end of the year, that bastard from the Zhao family will still think of ways to get more food from us.。”
Xu Guanglin was also burning with anger. There was no good person in the Zhao family. Over the years, they had relied on their family business to be big. In addition, they were in cahoots with the mayor and the others. Naturally, they were domineering in the nearby towns and occupied countless lands.
Every year, the grain seeds given to these tenants were some old things that were mixed with good and bad. Even so, they had to take away 40% of the grain every time they harvested. However, they had to take 60% of the grain this year!!
.......................................................................................................
Greed, shamelessness, insatiable greed!
"I'm going to find Captain Li. He has dozens of garrison members under him and even a few rifles!!”
"Are you talking about Captain Li Dasong, who usually trains at our village entrance?”
Seeing that the two children had also fallen asleep, Xu Guanglin immediately found a few big men from the village and asked the garrison team for help.
This garrison team was the reserve team of the patrol camp that Zhang Hao had set up in each town. Once a war broke out, these garrison members would immediately be given a full set of standard weapons and become true soldiers.
At the same time, Zhao Wuliang was not idle either. He would not let those lowlifes collect so much food so easily. Damn it, he really did not know why his father was so afraid of that newcomer in Yingkou.
A new stone road had been built in front of the Zhao family's door, leading to the town. Those bumpkins could actually eat their fill!!
Upon returning to the residence, Zhao Wuliang saw his old and sickly father. He was like a candle in the wind that could be extinguished at any moment.
"Big brother, I have something to discuss with you!”
Zhao Wuliang also went straight into his elder brother Zhao Wude's study. His elder brother was usually obsessed with women and had no interest in managing the family's finances. However, Zhao Wuliang did not want to target his elder brother. After all, in his eyes, Zhao Wude was just a second-generation heir who was waiting to die.
He was different. He still had to lead the Zhao family to a wider world.
"Butler, I've made it clear to you that only you and I can know about this. If anyone else finds out, don't blame me for turning hostile!!”
Zhao Wuliang's face also turned cold. He had prepared a letter and had to send it to the Bluestone Ridge overnight. He wanted to use a borrowed knife to kill someone. He wanted to let the horse bandits of the Bluestone Ridge and the army of Yingkou City clash head-on to see who would win.
"Don't worry, Young Master. Even if I had a hundred guts, I wouldn't dare to tell anyone.”
"That's for the best!"
After the old butler left, Zhao Wuliang greeted another person and gave some instructions. Then, he got up. He still had to pretend to be filial to that old man. Otherwise, he still had not gotten his hands on some of the savings in the family and the deeds to the land.
In the east of Ying Kou, there was a mountain range. One of the main peaks was called Bluestone Ridge. At this moment, the horse bandits 'nest in Bluestone Ridge was brightly lit. The leader of Bluestone Ridge, Tie Hanshan, had defeated countless people with his iron fists when he was young. However, he was kind and benevolent. He also liked to make friends, so he had a good reputation outside. This was also the reason why Bluestone Ridge could become the largest force in the nearby mountains.
"Chief, I can't guarantee Zhao Wuliang's character. In these few years, many of our brothers have received a lot of favors.”
Tie Hanshan had a rough appearance. He used the dagger in his hand to cut a piece of beef and put it into his mouth. Zhao Wuliang from the Zhao family had even had a drink with him once. That time, it was at the birthday of a certain mayor. He had also attended.
"Military Advisor, we are horse bandits. Do we care about character?？”
Everyone laughed out loud. Even the dog-headed military advisor from Bluestone Ridge could not help but laugh. Indeed, they were horse bandits. Could it be that they were afraid of Zhao Wuliang, a brat whose hair had not even grown fully?？
"Chief, if it were up to me, we should have sent troops to flatten Yingkou City a long time ago. In the entire Yingkou area, which village can't collect more than 10,000 catties of grain this year? If we really snatch those grains, the future Chief will definitely become a big shot like Zhang Yuting!!”
When Tie Hansan heard Zhang Yuting's name, he couldn't help but twitch his lips. All the horse bandits and bandits in the northeast wanted to become a hero like Zhang Yuting. He was a horse bandit, but he had become the military governor of Fengtian Province and a major official of the border. He had great power. Who wouldn't envy him?
"Chief, Yingkou has become more and more mysterious in the past year. Not only do we have to check when we enter the city, but we also have to check when we leave the city. There are also many places that we can't even approach.”
"Who cares if he's mysterious or not? In this Liaodong area, other than the Japanese devils, anyone who encounters our Bluestone Ridge will have to crawl!!”
The number of horse bandits in Bluestone Ridge had recently increased to more than 2,000 people. They had 500 horses, a large number of guns, muskets, and all kinds of homemade grenades. It was no wonder that the bandits of Bluestone Ridge were so confident.
"Military Advisor, I wonder how many troops Ying Kou City has now?？”
The dog-headed military advisor also had a solemn expression. No matter what, horse bandits were horse bandits after all. They were not a regular army.
"There should be at least five hundred of them. Even though the mysterious Battalion Commander of Ying Kou City wants to hide it, it's impossible to hide so many people.”
"In the past, Ying Kou City also had a security group. The security group of thousands of people ran away when they heard the name of our Green Stone Ridge.。”
"Chief, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If we take advantage of the fact that those commoners have food now and rob them now, we won't have to go down the mountain for the entire winter.”
Tie Hanshan was not a coward. However, he had been following the advice of his military advisor for a period of time this year. He had formulated various development plans. There was no future for him to stay in the Green Stone Ridge forever as a horse bandit.
There were also a few iron mines near Bluestone Ridge in Tiehan Mountain. They had made a lot of money by digging iron mines, but they were also done in private. If the Japanese knew about it, it would definitely become a hidden danger.
"Military Advisor, go and investigate where the garrison in Ying Kou City came from, at all costs!!”
The dog-headed military counselor was rather satisfied. After all, in his opinion, Iron Man San was no longer a reckless person. This was already his biggest change.
" Alright, I'll arrange it immediately!!"
A moment later, Tie Hansan and a few of his trusted aides arrived at the iron ore mining area deep in the mountains. Baskets of iron ore were being lifted from the bustling mine.
"Chief, we can earn at least 20,000 yuan from the ores we mine this month. At that time, we can buy more black guns from the black market and strengthen our military!”
Tie Hansan also nodded in satisfaction. What was the point of hiding in Bluestone Ridge all day? Only by controlling the city and becoming an official militia could he achieve great things.
Yingkou was the county town that Tie Hansan wanted to take down the most. It was small in scale and did not have a large population. Even if he really took it down, Fengtian would not pursue it. After that, he would prepare more gold and silver items and settle things down.
