Because he is very clear about the number of people currently in the Expeditionary Army Camp Commander Fang Yi. Including Zhao Wenshan and others who are staying here, they are less than twenty people. This group of bandits includes those who were killed and injured, and There ar

Expeditionary Force took down the three gangs that harmed the villagers. Ma Zhengsheng can be regarded as a person who has traveled all over the country and seen big scenes, but when he saw this scene, he was still shocked. Because he is very clear about the number of people currently in the Expeditionary Army Camp Commander Fang Yi. Including Zhao Wenshan and others who are staying here, they are less than twenty people. This group of bandits includes those who were killed and injured, and There are a hundred or dozens of people imprisoned here, but so many bandits were completely wiped out by them. About ten people were stunned to capture so many bandits alive. This matter Speaking of which, it makes people feel incredible. After leaving the cave, Ma Zhengsheng repeatedly gave battalion commander Fang 㡣 and others thumbs up, saying that they were really awesome.

"Uncle Ma, there is no need to praise us! After all, we have been formally trained, how can we be comparable to this gang of rabble! In addition, we used a trick to introduce them into the valley and then killed them all. Isn't it nothing remarkable!" "Fang Yaohui said lightly. He was really telling the truth. If he and his brothers were placed later, they would all belong to the elite special forces, and their combat effectiveness would be absolutely superior. Who are these bandits? To deal with them, people like myself dare not say that one is worth a hundred, but there is no problem if one is worth ten.

So they took down this rabble, and the battalion commander Fang 㡣 really didn’t think there was anything worth boasting about. Then he took Ma Zhengsheng to take a look at the belongings they had retrieved from the three bandits' dens. Ma Zhengsheng looked at them and let out another bang. Although these belongings were just small amounts of money in his eyes, when they were piled together, It's quite impactful. The most important thing is that the broken guns that have been wiped and maintained are piled together. Although they are all broken guns, the visual impact is still very strong.

"We brothers all know that during this period, you have really put a lot of effort and spent a lot of money. We brothers feel that we are really ashamed! We have always felt that we cannot repay you, Uncle Fan!" I was lucky enough to get some ill-gotten gains from the bandits this time. I left some emergency supplies for the brothers. I asked Uncle Ma to accept the rest on behalf of Uncle Fan! We should not eat or drink these things if they are left here with us. We can't carry them everywhere, they're just some dead things, please ask Uncle Ma to send someone to transport them away!" Battalion Commander Fang Zhengsheng said to Ma Zhengsheng. Ma Zhengsheng looked at these belongings and was not pretentious, because he also knew that the battalion commander Fang Yi and the others had sincerely given these belongings to the Fan family. In addition, the battalion commander Fang Yi was right, these things were dead objects. It's really useless to stay here. You can't eat or drink anything. If something happens, you can't take it with you. So Ma Zhengsheng immediately agreed, and immediately arranged for people to transport these things away. Among these belongings, in addition to money and gold and silver jewelry, there were some good porcelain antiques, and there were also many animals. Things like skins can be exchanged for a lot of money after being taken away, but leaving them here is really useless. As for these guns, he is not in a hurry to get rid of them, because the Fan family is now closely watched by the military commanders. If these guns and ammunition flow out through the Fan family, there is no guarantee that they will not be smelled by military commanders. If you go out, something might happen.

So he told the battalion commander Fang 㡣 his concerns. These guns and ammunition will remain here for the time being. If something happens, they will simply be burned.

Battalion Commander Fang 㡣 thought about it, but he had not considered this matter thoroughly. Ma Zhengsheng was a veteran, and was much more thoughtful than he thought, so he nodded and agreed. After dinner, the battalion commander Fang 㡣 told Ma Zhengsheng what they had discussed about how to deal with these bandits. At first, Ma Zhengsheng had no objection, but as he spoke, he suddenly stopped using his chopsticks. Touching the beard around his mouth, he seemed to have thought of something.

"Yaohui, don't let these bandits go now. I suddenly have an idea! But it's not mature yet. Let me think about it carefully first, and I also need to discuss it with our master!" Ma Zhengsheng suddenly said to the battalion commander Fang 㡣 said.The battalion commander was stunned for a moment, but although he didn't know what Ma Zhengsheng was thinking, he immediately nodded and agreed. Anyway, what they confiscated from the three bandit lairs this time was not only the property, but also other items from the three families. A lot of food was harvested, and now they have brought it all back.

These grains are enough to feed these bandit captives for a while, and with the secret support of the Fan family, there is no risk that these bandit captives will starve to death. However, the battalion commander Fang 㡣 still asked Ma Zhengsheng what he thought. Ma Zhengsheng did not hide it from the battalion commander Fang 㡣 and said to the battalion commander Fang 㡣: "That's it. You also know that the world is not peaceful now, although The Anti-Japanese War was victorious, but now the government is busy taking over the occupied areas. In addition, I heard that the Red Army is also rushing to take over the occupied areas and surrender to the Japanese army.

So the relationship between the two sides has suddenly become tense again. Now the Chairman is in a hurry. We are busy with this matter, so we can’t spare any time to suppress bandits! As you know, our Fan family’s business is not only big but also very complicated. Many times, we have to go to remote places to receive goods, although we sometimes send goods. Bodyguard, but things are getting more and more chaotic now. Over the past year, our goods have been robbed many times when receiving them! Just in this area of ​​Chengdu, we have encountered this kind of thing many times in our business. We have encountered local caravans many times! Our master and I have also discussed whether we can set up a caravan guard, but we have not paid attention to this matter during this time. Firstly, we are short of people, but also short of guns. !

I just saw these guns and the bandits you captured, and suddenly I thought, can we use these people to solve this problem? "After hearing this, Battalion Commander Fang 㡣 understood why Ma Zhengsheng refused. He released all these bandits, and Ma Zhengsheng dared to think of these bandits.

He nodded, thought for a while and then said to Ma Zhengsheng: "That's okay! But these bandits can't all stay. Some of these bandits can do it, but some old bandits who are too ruthless are It can't be used!

If you plan to organize a caravan, I can help you! I will select the prisoners here first and keep the usable ones. I will let them go and save them. They're wasting food!"

Ma Zhengsheng looked at Battalion Commander Fang 㡣, nodded and said, "That's okay, but why don't you just kill the ones that can't be used?" Battalion Commander Fang 㡣 shook his head slightly and said: "We have killed enough people in the past few years, and we have even gotten a little good at it! We want to kill people at every turn! This is not good! I am afraid that my brothers will form a habit from now on, and kill people if they disagree with each other. After a long time, they will not be able to stop it. Hands on! I don’t want to be like that either!

Uncle Ma, you don’t know how many people we have killed over the years. Even though we have killed too many people, I don’t feel good if we continue like this! We have lost our humanity and become murderers!

Although these bandits have ways to kill, I still don’t want to do it if they ask me to kill so many people!” After listening, Ma Zhengsheng nodded: “I can generally understand. What you mean, now that you have decided, then do what you want! But keep that Zhuanshanbao for me!"

Battalion Commander Fang was stunned: "Uncle Ma, although I don't. I'm willing to kill more people, but I really want to kill this guy. He's a ruthless gangster! It's really a disaster to keep him!" Ma Zhengsheng said with a smile: "What did you do just now? I talked about this guy, although he is a ruthless person, but I think this person can still be used! What's more, I want to use his name! And he is familiar with the area in Chengdu! , As for his character, I don’t think it matters. As long as he has weaknesses, then there is no need to worry about him being disobedient!” When mentioning the weaknesses of the Mountain Leopard, Battalion Commander Fang 㡣 immediately understood why Ma Zhengsheng dared to use this Mountain Leopard. Well, although this Zuanshan Leopard is a ruthless guy, he is not without merit. First, this guy is quite affectionate towards his third brother

, which shows that this person is relatively loyal to a certain extent. Yes, if he hadn't valued loyalty, he wouldn't be in such a situation now! The other thing is that this guy may not be seen as cruel, but he is also greedy and lustful, but he loves his children very much. When he took Zhuan Shanbao to raid his old lair this time, Zhuan Shanbao kept pleading all the way, I hope Battalion Commander Fang Mi can let go of his children, even if he has to kill him. I ask Battalion Commander Fang Mi not to kill his children.

It can be seen that although this guy is cruel, he has fatherly love and is willing to sacrifice for his children, so these children have become his weakness and weakness.

The reason why Ma Zhengsheng dared to use this mountain leopard was because he could see this guy's weakness at a glance and was not afraid that this guy would be disobedient.

The battalion commander Fang 㡣 nodded with a smile and said: "I understand, Uncle Ma, so let's just sing a double act! How about I help you subdue this guy?"

Ma Zhengsheng squinted his eyes and laughed again, and continued He nodded and said: "I think so!" When Li Shuanghu and Zhao Ershuan dragged the mountain leopard out of the cave like a wolf and a tiger, and threw it in front of the battalion commanders Fang Yi and Ma Zhengsheng like a dead dog, the mountain leopard He was so frightened that he knelt down and kowtowed to beg for mercy: "Hero, spare my life! My dear, spare your life! Didn't you promise not to kill me?"

Battalion Commander Fang Mi had a cold face, as if there was ice on his face, and squinted his eyes. Glancing at Zuanshan Leopard, he said coldly: "Yes, I did say I could spare your life!

But after I saw your village, I changed my mind! What I look down on the most in this life are people who have no faith. There is also a bastard who abuses women!

But you are dishonest! It is unethical to harm women!

I will take care of you today. Those people who died unjustly at the hands of this guy want to take revenge and drag their whole families out and kill them!" Upon hearing this, Li Shuanghu and others immediately agreed in unison, then rolled up their arms and sleeves and pulled Zui who was kneeling on the ground. Mountain Leopard, Mountain Leopard immediately started struggling like crazy when he heard this. He just shook off the hand holding his arm, cut his arms upside down, and threw himself at the feet of the battalion commander Fang, using his head to grab the ground. He banged his head loudly, and his forehead bled after a few blows. "No, good man! Please don't kill my daughter and son! This evil is all caused by me. If you want to kill me, just kill me! At worst, she can take the child and die with me! But please Please spare my daughter and son! Please! As long as I can spare the lives of these two children, I, Chen Weibiao, will repay your kindness in my next life! Kill me!" This tall man burst into tears today when he heard that the battalion commander Fang Min wanted to kill his children. He howled and knelt on the ground and banged his head against the stone ground. , and his face was covered in blood after a while, which showed that he really cared about his children. Even the people next to him had a look of unbearability on their faces when they looked at the mountain leopard. Battalion Commander Fang Min's face twitched, but he still kept his face cold, sneered, and said coldly to Zhuan Shanbao: "Chen Kuibiao? Huh! You feel sorry for your children now! But when you are tearing up the vote, don't you Have you never thought that they are also other people's children? Have you never thought that some of them also have children?

When you abused those girls, didn't you think about whose family they were? Only your children are worthy of your heartache? Why should I keep these two little scourges?" After hearing this, Zhuanshan Leopard cried loudly and continued to kowtow vigorously: "I am not a human being, it is all my fault? ! I am not a human being! I deserve to die! But they are still young, and they are right! Please chop me up if you want to take revenge on those people! , Even if you light up the sky lanterns for me, I just want you to spare the lives of those two little ones!" After hearing what Zhuan Shanbao said, the commander of the battalion, Fang 㡣They all couldn't help but feel slightly moved, because in order to keep their children alive, Zhuanshan Leopard really fought hard, and it was Ling Chi who was beheaded. Needless to say, this is needless to say, but the commander of the Lighting Sky Lantern Battalion, Fang 㡣, has also heard of it. This is a kind of A punishment even more cruel than Ling Chi. To light a sky lantern, the person is actually stripped naked, and then the whole body is covered with cotton cloth, only the head is exposed. Then the cotton cloth all over the person is soaked in oil. If it is not enough, another layer of wax is poured on it, and then the person is tied with iron chains. The feet were tied and hung upside down, and the feet were ignited and burned slowly, from the feet to the head. Normally, if a person is burned by a cigarette butt, it will be painful, let alone being burned like this. The burning starts from the soles of the feet. However, the person cannot die for a while and can only endure the severe pain from the feet to the head. The human body's The fat is burned out bit by bit, and it also participates in the burning, burning people all the way to the bone marrow. Thinking about this kind of pain makes people shudder.

However, in order to make the battalion commander Fang 㡣 spare his children, Zhuanshan Bao would rather suffer the torture of lighting a sky lantern, just to keep his children alive. This shows that this guy's fatherly love is still very strong.

Seeing the Zuanshan Leopard like this, kowtowing with blood all over his face, Ma Zhengsheng sitting next to him showed a look of unbearability on his face. He raised his hand and said, "Master! Wait a minute!"

Battalion Commander Fang 㡣 turned his head and looked at Ma Zhengsheng. , said pretentiously: "Oh? Boss Ma! What's the matter with you?" Ma Zhengsheng stood up and clasped his fists and said to the battalion commander Fang 㡣: "Please listen to the next words! Although this person does deserve to die, I think this person still has merit. Why don't you give me some face and spare the lives of their whole family today?" After hearing this, Battalion Commander Fang 㡣 immediately said in a cold voice: "Boss Ma, you are so kind to a woman!" This scum is ruthless and has no integrity! It can be said that he kills innocent people and harms women. As the saying goes, thieves have their own principles, but what is the purpose of killing this kind of scum?" Ma Zhengsheng immediately said: "Master Yu, that's what he said! But I think this man is still kind and righteous to his children! He is also a man! I really can't bear it! I met you today, I If you are willing to be a guarantee, please, for my sake, please spare this person’s life!

If this person dares to commit adultery in the future, then the master can just settle the score with me!” I was about to despair completely, but after hearing Ma Zhengsheng's words, a spark of hope suddenly rose in my heart, and I quickly shouted: "Master Yu! Spare your life! I will never dare to do such a thing again! Xiao Xiao!" I swear to God, if I dare to do such a thing again, I will let God strike me with five thunders, and my whole family will die! Please spare my life, sir!" After thinking about it, Battalion Commander Fang 㡣 said slightly. He nodded to Ma Zhengsheng: "Boss Ma, since you have spoken, I have to sell this face to you! I can leave this person to you, but you have to be careful. This kind of person is often a wolf-hearted person. Disciple, if you are not careful, who can guarantee that this kind of scum will not betray you?"

Ma Zhengsheng nodded and said: "Thank you, Master Yu!" This kind of thing! Please give him to me, boss! "

"And my wife and children!" Upon hearing this, Zhuan Shanbao quickly reminded Ma Zhengsheng and Battalion Commander Fang 㡣.

Battalion Commander Fang 㡣 almost laughed. This guy has not forgotten his wife and children now! So he nodded and said, "Okay! In that case, if you send Buddha to the West, you should also send favors to your home! His wife and children, I will also leave them to Boss Ma!"

said the battalion commander Fang 㡣 waved his hand, Li Shuanghu The others immediately agreed and went to pick up Zhuan Shanbao's wife and children.

Ma Zhengsheng turned around, lifted Zhuanshan Bao, whose face was covered with blood, from the ground, and pulled him aside. Zhuan Shan Bao quickly knelt down to Ma Zhengsheng and thanked Ma Zhengsheng sincerely for saving his life.

Ma Zhengsheng straightened his face, accepted the gift, and said to him sternly: "I only spoke to save you because of your love and righteousness for your children!

But let me ask you, since you love you so much Do you plan to do this for the rest of your life? Will you continue to be thieves when your children grow up?" Zhuan Shanbao quickly shook his head: "My dear friend, I don't want to either! Damn it! Although I wasn't a good person before, I didn't do anything harmful to God! Isn't this all because of this bad world? Children, they will become thieves when they grow up! But there is nothing I can do about it!"

Ma Zhengsheng nodded: "In that case, I have a way for you to go, just to see if you are willing to do so! I agree!"

Zhuan Shanbao nodded quickly: "My benefactor has given us a life-saving grace for our whole family. No matter what my benefactor asks me to do, with just one word, I, Chen Weibiao, will be able to survive even if it means going up mountains of swords and seas of fire. You don’t even frown!”

Ma Zhengsheng waved his hands and said: “Let’s not talk about this! I really want to use you, but we have to talk about your children first!

You two children, just do this. If you continue like this, they will only be rough people for the rest of their lives! Since you are willing to work for me, I will give your children a future! , I am quite respectable in Chongqing, so I can send your children to Chongqing and arrange a place for them to study! As long as they grow up, they will be better scholars than you are now! Are you willing to hand over your children to me and take them to Chongqing to study?" Upon hearing this, Zhuan Shanbao understood in his heart that they were worried about him and wanted to use his children as hostages, but on the other hand, this was the right thing to do. There is no harm in him, at least it seems that this boss Ma is a very respectable person. If his children are sent to Chongqing to study, then their lives will be better than staying with him in the mountains. In this era, many people cannot afford to read, and there are still many illiterates. In the eyes of many rough people, scholars are still superior to others. In the past, Zhuanshan Bao did not have this condition, but now someone has proposed that he can send his children to study in Chongqing. This is very important to him. To me, it's really a dream come true.

And since people can send their children to study in Chongqing, then they can definitely give their children a clean identity, and they will no longer be thieves in the future! But the price is that he may have to work hard for others in his life.

However, compared to the future of his children, he felt that even if he sold himself to others and worked for others in this life, as long as his children could prosper in the future, it would not be a big deal.

So he immediately agreed without hesitation, and quickly kowtowed in thanks.

Ma Zhengsheng secretly exchanged a look with the battalion commander Fang 㡣. The battalion commander Fang 㡣 smiled evilly and secretly gave Ma Zhengsheng a thumbs up.

On that day, Ma Zhengsheng sent Zhuan Shanbao's children and wife to Chongqing first, leaving Zhuan Shanbao behind and became Ma Zhengsheng's follower.

Zhuanshan Bao was untied and followed Ma Zhengsheng with a low eyebrow. Battalion Commander Fang 㡣 reprimanded him again. Zhuanshan Bao was submissive and didn't even dare to fart.

Next, Ma Zhengsheng wrote a letter about his idea and sent someone back to Chongqing to discuss it with Fan Zhengshan, while helping the battalion commander Fang Ji select people. Among the more than 80 captured prisoners, the battalion commander Fang Er first eliminated the old, weak, sick and disabled ones. Ma Zhengsheng planned to use these people as protectors. To be able to travel long distances, they must have good physical strength, so the first step was to eliminate the prisoners. These old and weak people were eliminated. Then, through interrogation and screening, the battalion commander Fang 㡣 selected and eliminated some of the bandits whose bad habits were difficult to change. These bandits were ruthless and ruthless, and difficult to control. They also had very low loyalty and had gained a lot of knowledge. The horizons will be broadened, and when the mind is big, there will be many ideas, which are unstable factors and must be eliminated.In addition, Ma Zhengsheng said that he had no use for some bandits who were single. Because these people were single and had no worries, they could act unscrupulously and had nothing to be afraid of. So if these people were used well, it would be fine. If you complain, you may betray at any time, so Ma Zhengsheng does not use these bachelors.

There is another condition, that is, they don’t want people who are related to Jin Daya, pangolins, and mountain leopards. Battalion Commander Fang 㡣 They killed Jin Daya and pangolins. Who can guarantee that their subordinates who are related to Jin Daya and pangolins will not feel sad about it. Keeping grudges will prevent you from betraying them in the future, so you must never want these people. As for Zhuanshan Bao, although they had subdued him, they still had to guard against him and left behind his subordinates who were related to him. These people were naturally close to Zhuanshan Bao, and they would probably use Zhuanshan Bao as the core in the future. A small group is formed, which is not good for the Fan family to control the mountain leopard, so they don't want to do it.

In the end, after picking and choosing, only about thirty people are left, and the rest will be let go. Ma Zhengsheng found paper and pen, and made a detailed registration of the names, place of origin, where their current homes were, and who else was in the family of the selected bandits, and then took them away from the cave where the bandits were imprisoned. come out. However, for the time being, because Fan Zhengshan had not replied, Ma Zhengsheng could not make his own decisions, so after these people were brought up, they were detained in isolation. At the same time, they also improved their food and specially selected three honest guys from among the prisoners. Go be a cook.

The bandits who had been hungry for two days were originally full of despair. After they were selected, they finally had a delicious hot meal, which made them very excited.

Although the rice is not very good, it is just ordinary brown rice with some pickles, but for the bandits who have been hungry for two or three days, it is already considered a delicacy. In addition, when they were bandits before following their boss, the quality of the food in the village was not much better. When they had nothing to do, they would eat some brown rice, sweet potato porridge or polenta , and most of the vegetables were pickles. At best, when you have nothing to do, you can get some bamboo shoots, mushrooms and wild vegetables to improve things. Bullets are hard to come by and very expensive, so big bosses like the Mountain Leopards are not allowed to use them indiscriminately. So even if the bandits live in the mountains, they can only use cold weapons such as bows and crossbows for hunting. Harvest There weren't many. Compared with Fang 㡣's ability to hunt with traps, these bandits may not be regarded as bandits, but their skills in this area were far inferior to those of the battalion commander Fang 㡣 and his men.

So the food they usually eat is not much better. After being hungry for two or three days today, they can be given hot brown rice and pickles. These bandits already feel like they are in heaven.

The cave they were moved to was much better than the cave they were imprisoned in before. It was drier inside, the roof of the cave was higher, and the entrance was larger. There may be small branch holes in the cave for good air circulation. Not bad. Unlike the cave where they were imprisoned before, it was relatively low-lying and very humid. The roof of the cave was also very low, and people couldn't stand up straight. The entrance to the cave was very small, and the air didn't circulate. More than eighty people were squeezed inside, and it was so stuffed. Like sardine cans, toilet buckets were placed among them. Not to mention the stench, they had to sleep on the cold, damp ground.

In the cave they were now in, some hay was given to each of the captives so that they could make their own beds instead of lying naked on the cold, damp stone ground. They were much more comfortable than before. Although they haven't said they would let them go, the bandits still felt relieved after transferring these people here. They felt that even if they didn't let them go, their life would not be very sad! Anyway, if we let them go, they will have no place to go now. How to find a way to eat is also a problem. It is better to spend a day or two here, muddle along and see what those good guys are going to do with them.As for the remaining eliminated bandits, the battalion commander Fang 㡣 first released some old, weak, sick and disabled ones, sent people to drive them out, escorted them to a far away place, and let them leave on their own. Before leaving, he threatened them again. Fan, ordered them not to do this business again in the future, and to find a way to make a living after going out. After releasing the old, weak, sick and disabled prisoners, the only ones left were some bandits with murder cases on their bodies. As for these guys, we had already starved them for two days to make them suffer. Now these guys are all He is already wilting and drooping, and he is no longer as ferocious as before.

Battalion Commander Fang Min ordered people to intimidate them again, warning them that if they dare to become bandits again, they will not be so polite to them next time they meet them, and they will be killed as soon as they see them. Then the battalion commander Fang 㡣 arranged for people to blindfold their eyes, tie their hands, divide them into several directions, lead them far away like animals, and then throw them into the mountains, waiting for them to be unblindled. When they were doing the cloth, they were basically completely confused and couldn't even tell the difference between east, west, north and south. If they wanted to get out of this mountain, it would depend on their luck.

If you are lucky and are familiar with the mountains and forests in this area, you can probably walk out. If you are unlucky and can't find the road, then just stay in the mountains and become a savage! Whether they survive depends on their luck.

However, the battalion commander Fang 㡣 did not expect that these bandits could change their ways, leave the mountain and find another way out, and completely give up the business of being bandits. Sooner or later, someone would deal with them anyway. In short, he did not want to have these people on his hands. of dirty blood. Three days later, Fan Zhengshan quickly replied to Ma Zhengsheng. After hearing about this, Fan Zhengshan was very happy. What he was happy about was not the goods and guns given to him by the battalion commander Fang Ji. This little wealth Goods, for their Fan family's huge industry, can really only be said to be a drop in the bucket. However, he can still understand the mood of Battalion Commander Fang Mi and the others. It can be seen that at least Battalion Commander Fang Mi and his brothers are all sentimental. A righteous person, his son is really lucky to have such a group of brothers. What he was most happy about was Ma Zhengsheng's proposal to form a private caravan belonging to the Fan family. They had considered this matter before, but it was difficult to find manpower, guns and ammunition, and training. The problem was difficult to solve, so the matter was delayed. However, Battalion Commander Fang 㡣 and the others eliminated three groups of bandits in Hejiang County this time, but they also solved all their previous problems. Now they need people, guns, and guns. A master like the battalion commander Fang 㡣 happened to have nothing to do during this period, so he could train these people for him. This was more reliable than asking his son Fan Xingchen to train these people. So Fan Zhengshan immediately agreed. He did not expect this caravan to be put into use immediately, but at least it should be formed first. As a secret force of the Fan family, it would only have advantages and no disadvantages for the Fan family in the future.

So Fan Zhengshan immediately wrote back to Ma Zhengsheng, agreeing with Ma Zhengsheng's idea, and asked Ma Zhengsheng to handle the matter immediately. At the same time, he also asked the battalion commander Fang 㡣 in the letter to give him some advice on what they had set up during this period of time. This caravan.

If this caravan is lacking something, just say it! Fan Zhengshan expressed his full support. While sending the letter, he also directly sent them a batch of new clothes and cloth shoes for the caravan personnel to change into. After Ma Zhengsheng finished reading Fan Zhengshan's letter, he immediately found the battalion commander Fang Mi and read the letter to the battalion commander Fang Mi. The battalion commander Fang Mi thought for a while. He had received so much help from the Fan family. Now the Fan family He was still protecting Cheng Yan'er and taking care of the disabled veterans who stayed in Chongqing. How could he shirk such a little request from him now.

What's more, the limelight in Chongqing is so tight now, Cheng Yan'er won't be able to come out for a while. He will probably stay here for a while, and he will be idle. It doesn't hurt to train the caravans by the way.So after getting Fan Zhengshan's consent and support, they took action that day. However, Ma Zhengsheng decided not to tell these people now and let them do something later. Anyway, these people now believe that the battalion commander Fang Yi is also a bandit leader from other places, so Just let them misunderstand it first. Anyway, this group of people are now in a very stable mood. Occasionally someone would chat with them when delivering food. These guys also thought that they were attracted by the head of the Yu family here and wanted to keep them and let them join the gang. They have no resistance to this either.

So to be on the safe side, Ma Zhengsheng decided to hide this from these people first, and use the excuse of recruiting them to join the gang to train them first. When the time is right, he will tell them what they will be asked to do in the future. Battalion Commander Fang 㡣 has no objection to Ma Zhengsheng's arrangement. Isn't it just to let him play the role of a bandit leader temporarily? Anyway, they wouldn't go out to kidnap and rob, so they were just training these people here, so he agreed immediately. After they made some preparations that day, they arrived at the cave where the prisoners were held. The battalion commander, Fang Meng, had two pistols inserted into his waist. He was holding a cigarette carelessly, with a look of disdain on everything. , ordered everyone in the cave to stand up.

These prisoners actually did not need his orders. As soon as they saw the tall battalion commander Fang 㡣, who was surrounded by people and walked in, they jumped up one by one and bowed their waists cautiously. The smarter people all jumped up. They had already guessed that the time had come to decide their fate. These people did not dare to express their anger, and all of them bowed respectfully and waited. After the battalion commander Fang Min glanced at the group of guys, he loudly ordered them to stand up straight. The group of guys quickly straightened their backs. The battalion commander Fang Min turned around between them with his hands behind his back and a look of disdain on his face. After walking around for a while, he also used a small wooden stick in his hand to hit these guys. The scene was a bit like picking piglets.After he returned to the crowd, he suddenly said loudly: "Trash! I'm not saying that any of you are trash, I am saying that you are all trash! I have never seen such trashy bandits! You are simply among the bandits. Shame!

By the way, I’ll introduce myself first. You don’t need to know what my name is! But someone in the world gave me a nickname, called Soldering Tip!

Maybe you don’t. If you know what the soldering iron head means, I will tell you that the soldering iron head is a kind of snake! A very poisonous snake! If you don't bite people, there is only one way. Just die!

I don’t need to bother you anymore. You all know that in my eyes, you are just a bunch of rubbish! Because you are indeed rubbish!

I am here today. I want to ask you something. Now I plan to accept you and give you a chance to follow me in the future!

As for what are the benefits of following me? I can tell you that at least you will not follow me in the future. Someone will say that you are all rubbish again!

If you follow me, I can guarantee that you will enjoy spicy food almost every day! Unlike before, when you bunch of rubbish followed the previous boss, you could only get half full. You can't get anything out of it!

If you follow me, I will give you a reward every month! If you do well, you will get at least five oceans a month!" When the battalion commander said these words in a pretentious manner, Li Shuanghu, Xu Chen and others who were following him to support the scene almost couldn't hold back and laughed on the spot. They didn't expect that the battalion commander Fang Ji made up lies without even blinking. How come they didn't hear about the soldering iron tip? Pass?

But since the battalion commander Fang 㡣 said that his nickname is Soldering Iron Head, then let’s just call him Soldering Iron Head! Because he said that the soldering iron tip is a highly venomous snake. Wasn't their secret service camp codenamed Venomous Fang before, and wasn't the armband a cobra? But fortunately, Battalion Commander Fang Min has been an officer for a long time. After being in a high position for a long time, he still has quite a lot of momentum. Standing towards the child, coupled with his tall and strong body, he is really majestic, and he has the feeling of not being angry. The feeling of power and aura was quite strong, which shocked the bandits. So much for what he said! He paused deliberately and gave these guys five oceans a month. This was set by the Fan family. Five oceans is not a lot nowadays. With more than thirty people, in one month, they can open two oceans. Less than a hundred oceans, this is really not worth mentioning to the Fan family. But such monthly money is quite attractive to these former bandit leaders, because when they followed Jin Daya, Pangolin or Mountain Leopard, no one paid them, at best. Only if they work hard and make meritorious deeds will they be rewarded with a small amount of money. Usually the bandit leaders only care about their food and clothing, and the food is not much better. After they succeed in a job, sometimes they will get some wine and meat to reward them with a meal. As for paying them, they It's something I've never thought about.

But unexpectedly, the big boss said that as long as they followed him, he would give them a monthly salary of five oceans every month. This is new! This was the first time they heard that being a bandit could get paid.

The prisoners immediately became in an uproar and began to whisper among themselves. The battalion commander Fang Yi snorted, so Li Shuanghu, Zhao Ershuan and others immediately rushed over with the bamboo in their hands and beat the prisoners.

"Shut up and stand at attention! Don't know how to stand at attention? Then stand still! Listen to the boss!"

These bandits were beaten to death by them, but they did not dare to resist, so they had to shut up and follow their instructions one by one. They don’t understand whether to stand at attention or not, but they still know how to stand up straight.

After they were sorted out, one bandit felt really itchy and asked the battalion commander Fang tremblingly: "Master! Are you telling the truth? Do you want me to work with you and get paid?"

Before the guy finished speaking, Li Shuanghu rushed over, slapped him twice, and yelled at him nose to nose like a mad dog: "Don't speak without permission!"

This guy jumped up after being slapped. , said quickly: "Stop fighting, don't fight, I don't dare anymore!" "Whoever is talking nonsense, be careful I will beat you to death! If you want to speak, call a report first! You can only speak after I let you speak! You all understand. Are you done?" Li Shuanghu thought of himself as an instructor, remembering the majesty he had when training new recruits.

No one dared to talk nonsense at this time. They all stood upright in silence and looked at Li Shuanghu and others wandering around in horror. These guys were all fierce and scary.

Battalion Commander Fang 㡣 nodded: "I always mean what I say. As long as you follow me and do as you are told, you will get five oceans a month! You are indispensable for any big man!

But I also say ugly things! Just follow me. , this salary is not easy to get! If you want to get the salary, you must first meet my requirements. If you don't meet my requirements, there is no way to get the salary!

There are many rules here, and there are no rules! Big, if anyone makes a mistake, I will be treated lightly. If anyone dares to argue with me and offend me, I will kill him! You should think about it first, whether you want to do it with me or not. If you don’t want to do anything with me, then get out of here as far as you can. If you let me meet him again in the mountains, don’t blame me for ripping off his skin!”

After hearing this, the battalion commander Fang 㡣After saying this, the bandits were really a little scared, because it seemed that the big boss who called himself the branding iron head was really not easy to take care of, and his temper was really big!

And to listen to what he means, he has not only a lot of rules here, but also a lot of rules. If you break the rules, you will be beaten while holding your head, or in worst cases, you may lose your head!

So these guys felt anxious and a little undecided for a while. But five oceans a month is definitely a temptation that is hard to refuse. Some of them used to be farmers, digging in the soil all year round. In the end, let alone earning five oceans, they are considered a family. I can't even fill my belly! Later, he was forced to go into the mountains to become a bandit, but following their boss, life was not easy. When he had nothing to do, he could only manage half a meal. When he was doing business, he could eat and drink better. Under normal circumstances, the salary was There is no need to think about money. Only when the work is done well will the boss reward them both.

Now this soldering iron head said that he will give them five oceans of salary a month. If it is true, then this will be paid!

If you can really pay five oceans a month, then even if you have big rules and more rules, it won't matter! The big deal is just to be obedient! Do whatever they ask you to do, just try not to make any mistakes!

So some people wanted to ask some new questions. When they opened their mouths, they suddenly remembered that they couldn't talk nonsense, so a smarter guy immediately shouted: "Report!"

Battalion Commander Fang 㡣He nodded with satisfaction and pointed at him with the small wooden stick in his hand: "Well! What do you want to do?"

"Big... Big boss! If I do it with you, will you take care of the food? Will you take care of the food?" This guy As soon as he saw the battalion commander Fang Min looking at him, he felt a little cramped in his calves and asked stammeringly.

Battalion Commander Fang 㡣 suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed: "Haha! Isn't this nonsense? Just follow me. I don't care about the food. Do you want you to go to a restaurant every day to eat by yourself? What a joke! Since you are in charge of the food, of course you are in charge of the food. In addition, there are also Take good care of it!

But the premise is that you must do the things you arrange every day. But if you don’t do well in what I have arranged for you to do, you will have no choice but to be well fed! We are here to help the poor! Do you understand?"

The guy who asked the question quickly said: "I understand, I understand!"

"Do you have anything else to ask?" Battalion Commander Fang 㡣 scanned it. These guys then asked loudly to them with their hands behind their backs.

At this time, another bandit shouted cautiously: "Report!"

"Say it!" "Master, in our line of work, it's hard to say, but you did it with your head in your belt! Use the gun. If the surgeon is not careful, what will happen to our family if we die? "This guy is obviously a smarter guy. After hearing this, the battalion commander Fang Min scratched his chin. The question this guy raised was actually about pensions. Ma Zhengsheng really didn't talk about this just now. After thinking about it, he nodded and said: "I I haven't had time to think about it yet! But what did your boss do in the past? "

" Uh..." Battalion Commander Fang 㡣 stopped the guy who asked the question.

ago? Bandits are bandits. If they die, they can only blame themselves for their bad luck. I have never heard of any bandit leader giving any compensation to the family members of his dead subordinates! "You should die in vain! That's a thing! I won't learn from them! Since you followed me, if you lose your life for me, I can't leave his family alone! Let's do this, this matter I’ve made a note of it, and I’ll definitely give it to you, but I’ll have to think about the specific amount! Anyway, I won’t let you work with me and end up with nothing!” Battalion Commander Fang Min said, scratching his chin.

After hearing the words of the battalion commander Fang 㡣, the bandits exchanged looks with each other, and their eyes seemed to be full of disbelief.

Then a bandit bravely shouted: "Report!"

"Say it!"

"Master, do you mean what you say?" The bandit bravely asked the battalion commander Fang 㡣.

Battalion Commander Fang 㡣 became angry when he heard this! He snorted coldly and ignored the guy.

Li Shuanghu, the loser, gave up on hearing this, and immediately rushed over to the guy, giving him a meal of bamboo sticks, which made the guy scream indiscriminately.

", dare you question our boss? You bad guys, don't even ask, who is our boss? Our boss is an upright man! Just spit and hit a nail! When has your words not been counted? If you don't believe it, , ask these brothers! When has our boss ever spoken like a fart?" Li Shuanghu yelled.

Battalion Commander Fang 㡣 heard this, and a row of black lines appeared on his forehead. Li Shuanghu’s speech must be too unpleasant! Are you praising him or scolding him?

At this time, after listening to Li Shuanghu’s words, the guys who came over to compliment the battalion commander Fang Ji immediately shouted: “You little bastards, don’t worry! Our boss always means what he says! "Although these bandits are still a little doubtful, they always feel that there is such a good bandit leader? But now they have no choice. If they don't do it, they won't be able to find a good livelihood away from here. The most important thing is that they all see the big boss who calls himself the Iron Head, and his subordinates. Really awesome! Since you are a bandit, who wouldn't want to be with a powerful boss? There is no benefit to following an incompetent boss other than death. The Golden Daya, Pangolin, and Mountain Leopard they followed before are a good example. Their skills are inferior to others, and they will either be killed or killed. Caught alive.The minions like them who were harmed by

were also unlucky. Not only were they beaten to death and injured a lot, they also became prisoners of others.

Fortunately, this time the master of the soldering iron wanted to recruit them and did not kill them. If he had been crueler, they would have been killed this time. On the whole, they felt that following the man in front of them, they seemed to be much better than before. In this case, they also promised to pay them, and also said that if they died because of him, they would also give their family a pension, no matter it was Whether it's true or not, at least they put it down here. What if it's true? Then won’t they have a way to make money in the future? After these guys made eye contact, the battalion commander Fang Min coughed dryly, crossed his legs with his hands behind his back, and loudly asked the group of people: "I want to ask you today, are you willing to follow me in the future?" ? If you are willing, take a step forward. If you don't want to, get out now! Don't drink from me here!" After hearing the words of the battalion commander Fang 㡣, some of these bandits immediately moved forward. It was a big step forward, but some people hesitated before taking a step forward.

The last remaining people looked at me and I looked at you. After much hesitation, most of them took a step forward. Only three or four people were still hesitant about whether to stay and follow the battalion commander Fang 㡣.

Battalion Commander Fang 㡣 saw this and nodded with satisfaction: "Okay! Since you are willing to work with me, then you will be my brothers from now on! Come here, blast the rest out! Let them get out of here!

The ugly thing is that before you leave this valley, if I meet you again, I will skin you! Get out of here!" Upon hearing this, Li Shuanghu and the others immediately pounced on these hesitant people. He grabbed the guy who didn't take a step forward and dragged him out, cursing: "You are so shameless, get out! Get out! Don't waste my food here!" Two of the guys were dragged away very resignedly. They went out, but there were still two guys who obviously regretted it. They struggled to keep alive and shouted: "Master, master! I am willing to follow you! I am willing to do it! Don't let me go! Let me go." Let me stay!"

Battalion Commander Fang Yi frowned and shouted in a cold voice: "What did you do earlier? Are you regretting it now? I don't want to see such hesitant bastards! Don't drag them out! Get out!" Li Shuanghu and the others tried their best to drag the two guys out, but the more they pushed them away, the more regretful the two guys were. One of them simply lay on the ground, hugged Li Shuanghu's legs and howled loudly. Crying: "Master! Don't drive me away! I have nowhere to go! It's a death to go home. Everyone in the village knows that I do this. If I go back, I will definitely be sent to the official. Please, Let me stay! I don’t dare to think nonsense anymore! Please forgive me just once! I am willing to work as a cow and serve the master!" When the other one saw it, he also hurriedly lay down. He fell to the ground, like a lazy donkey, casually hugging one leg and refusing to move no matter what.

Battalion Commander Fang 㡣 looked at these two guys and said impatiently: "Forget it! Let them stay! But there is no food for them tonight, so let's starve them first! It's shameless! "Things!"

So in the end they left thirty-two bandits, and only two of them were finally kicked out, driven out of the valley, and thrown into the mountains, leaving them to find their own way out of this area. That night, the battalion commander Fang Min ordered the two remaining cooks who knew how to cook to stew a large pot of meat for these guys using the pork from a half-large wild boar that Xu San had hunted outside today. Wild boar was stewed randomly, and each of them was given a bowl of wine as their first meal, and they would be considered as members from now on.

Of course, only the battalion commander Fang 㡣 and the others know this. In fact, this group of people will be the Fan family’s caravan guard from now on, but we can’t let them know for the time being, just in case someone is eliminated and the news about the Fan family is exposed. .

For the time being, these guys thought they had joined Battalion Commander Fang 㡣, a guy nicknamed the Iron Head, and were considered to be the subordinates of Battalion Commander Fang 㡣. That night, these guys were holding bowls and eating with their mouths full of oil. It was so satisfying. After this meal, they felt a little relieved. As long as they could stay full and take a bite of meat from time to time, it seemed that they were following this. The new boss is not a bad thing! Of course, because of the words of the battalion commander Fang 㡣, although the two hesitant guys stayed today, they could only watch the others holding bowls and feasting, and they could only swallow their saliva and watch on the side. I regretted it to death, but I could only eat one hungry meal.

Although it was great to feast on meat, the guys who ate meat began to regret it the next day.

Before dawn, as a whistle sounded outside the cave, the guys in the cave were all awakened. Some people muttered and cursed: "Master Ge, are you going to let me have a good sleep? When did it happen again?" It's too immoral to brag about it!"

"That's right! I won't let anyone sleep at this time! Let's sleep and let them live!" , shouted dissatisfied. So a group of guys turned over, closed their eyes, pretended not to hear anything, and went back to sleep. However, in less than ten seconds, they saw Li Shuanghu and the others rushing into their cave like wolves and tigers. After flying for a while, these guys screamed strangely, and they rushed out of the hole like dogs chasing each other.

Battalion Commander Fang 㡣 was also idle. He personally presided over the training of these guys. Carrying a thin bamboo pole behind his back, he looked at the watch on his wrist and then at the group of guys who were driven out. With an angry look on his face, he coughed dryly and said, "It seems I was right about you yesterday. You are really a bunch of losers! After the assembly whistle blew, no one got up, and they had to wait for me to send someone to call you! What a waste! You guys are a bunch of bastards! Now I'll give you five minutes to wash up, and you'll blow the whistle in five minutes to gather. If anyone doesn't show up within five minutes, then today's meal will be waived!" This group of people looked at each other, a bit confused. But there were still some people who were smarter and realized something immediately, so they rushed out in a swish, went straight to the creek in the valley, and rushed to the creek. There were already a row of simple water cups made of sawn bamboos. There was a willow branch and a small bowl of fine salt. "Rinse your mouth! Brush your teeth with a willow branch dipped in fine salt! Then hurry up and wash your face! If you can't finish it in five minutes, you will be hungry today!" Zhu Wenchang sat on a stone next to him with a half-smile, holding a A thin bamboo pole pointed at these guys. After these guys understood, they quickly grabbed the bamboo cup, picked up the willow branches and dipped them in fine salt to brush their teeth. Because they were short of time, there were not so many toothbrushes here, so they had to solve the problem of brushing their teeth with willow branches dipped in fine salt. In addition, everyone gave They were given a piece of coarse cloth as a towel, and a bunch of guys were busy working. When the whistle sounded again, they threw down the coarse cloth and bamboo cups and ran back to gather with a rumble.

There is no such thing as standing in line. A bunch of guys are crowded together in a noisy manner. Battalion Commander Fang 㡣 looked at this bunch of guys who were in a mess like a flock of ducks and couldn't help but cover his eyes. He really couldn't bear to see it.

"Line up, do you understand? No? Okay! You teach them!" Battalion Commander Fang 㡣 pointed at this group of people and yelled.

So the doglegs headed by Li Shuanghu immediately rushed forward waving the thin bamboo poles, pulling and pulling, the thin bamboo poles flew up and down, and they whipped fiercely. Three minutes later, more than thirty people finally formed a crooked line. row of.

Looking at these dirty and cowardly guys, the battalion commander Fang Min waved his hand and shouted: "Take off your clothes!" When these guys heard this, they were all a little confused. What order was this? What are you taking off your clothes for? All they had on them was a tattered coat and a pair of tattered trousers. Some of them even had a pair of trousers underneath, but most of them didn't even have trousers. Once these clothes were taken off, wouldn't their buttocks be naked?

So these guys looked at each other, standing there looking at each other, wondering what their new boss meant. Could it be that this guy had some bad habits?

Li Shuanghu, who was next to the gangsters, was waiting for the gangsters, so he seized the opportunity and rushed over like a mad dog again. With the thin bamboo poles flying, these guys were stripped of their clothes one by one under the power of the ganglegs. go.

Looking at the scene again, it was really unbearable to laugh. A large group of naked guys were covering their vitals and were so shocked that they were at a loss. Their clothes were immediately taken away and filled directly into the fire pit, and they were set on fire. Burnt to the ground. Before these frightened guys could figure out the situation, someone rushed over again, held them down and started shaving their heads. The hair of these bandits was all messy. They hadn't washed their hair for who knows how long. The knots are tied together, and they are stuck on the head.

It is even visible to the naked eye that fleas and lice are drilling through the hair, which is really disgusting to see. These guys had just been skinned into naked pigs, and then their heads were shaved. Now they were completely naked pigs, and the guys who shaved their heads were obviously not very good at shaving their heads. They inevitably made mistakes when shaving their heads. , leaving a gash on their heads. Half an hour later, a group of monks appeared in front of the battalion commander Fang 㡣, and they all had cotton to stop bleeding on their heads. And their shaved hair was immediately swept together and thrown into the fire pit. Once burned, the air was immediately filled with an unpleasant smell of burning hair, and you could even hear it. The crackling sound when fleas and lice are burned to death.

"What is this? What is this? Your body depends on your parents! How can you do this?" A guy cried loudly while being held down and his hair shaved off.

After they were shaved, the battalion commander Fang 㡣 said to them in a cold voice: "Don't think that I am full and have nothing to do, and I am just here to entertain you idiots!

See for yourselves how dirty you are. Look, I want spirited subordinates, not beggars! From now on, when we stay in the mountains and forests, our fellow travelers can't kill you, and wild animals can't kill you, but these fleas and lice can kill your little ones. Damn it, since you idiots are following me, I can't let you get killed by these fleas and lice! Why don't you shave your hair and let you continue to have fleas and lice? It's easier to take care of now. Get in line to make the potion! Hurry up! I can train you after I clean you up! If you don’t accept it, you can get out now!”

When these guys heard this, they realized that there was nothing weird about this new boss. The hobby was to get rid of fleas for them, so they felt relieved. Thinking about it, they were not very particular people before. After becoming bandits, the place they lived in was also dirty. They could just roll around and sleep. There were fleas and ticks everywhere, and the bites made them unbearable. But time As time goes by, I get used to it. Isn’t this what life is like? Isn’t being bitten by fleas and ticks a part of life? So they didn't think about making themselves clean. But think back, some of them did get sick often in the past, and sometimes some people would get sick for no apparent reason. The conditions in the mountains were poor, and there were no doctors to treat them. At best, they could just make some random herbs and eat them, and they could carry them over if they could. , I couldn't bear it and died.

If you dare to listen to this new boss, it’s all caused by fleas and lice! Since it’s for their own good, then just shave it off! It doesn't seem to hurt to be cleaner.The place where they soaked the potion was two natural stone nests. Li Wei mixed some insecticides and medicine for treating skin diseases and poured them into the two stone nests. Then he boiled hot water and poured it in to soak. The water temperature is almost the same now. So the naked pigs lined up one by one and were driven over. First, they soaked for a while in the stone nest where the insecticide was prepared. Their heads were also pressed into the potion and soaked. After soaking, they were driven to another place. In a stone nest, they continued to soak to treat the wounds left by flea and tick bites on their bodies.
