Chapter 10 Long-term plans
Gao Han suddenly stood up, pointed his pistol at the puppet adjutant Li San and others at the table, and shouted: "Don't move, hand over the gun."
The commandos, who had been waiting anxiously for the order, immediately aimed their guns at the puppet soldiers, the town servants and the servants.
At the same time, the commandos scattered in front of the four gun towers eliminated the sentries above.
The four commandos at the gate disarmed the servants' guns and blocked the gate with their guns, cutting off everyone's escape route.
Suddenly frightened, the courtyard was in chaos, the women screamed, and except for a few drunken guests, everyone else was woken up by the fright.
Looking at the dark muzzle of the gun, they all followed the commando's orders and squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands.
The situation in the yard was quickly brought under control.
The gunshots that suddenly rang out in the Liu family's courtyard spread throughout the town.
The town guards standing guard at the gate of the town didn't know what happened there, but they guessed that it should be related to the strange team that just passed by.
The little leader of the town sent a town boy to keep an eye on the area around the Liu family's courtyard, while he hurriedly found a horse and ran towards the county seat to report the news to the third young master of the Liu family.
Liu Defu was also frightened out of his drink. He already knew that these people were bandits pretending to be bandits. He did not try to resist, but pretended to be calm and said: "Everyone, you heroes! If you have something to say, what do you want? Liu will give it to me with both hands."
Gao Han sat down and said, "Mr. Liu, we are bandits on the mountain. We are here to seek money. We don't care about our lives. You don't have to be too nervous."
Zhang Quan was very excited to see so many squires and rich men arrested. In order to cooperate with Gao Han, he deliberately said: "Master, these guys are greedy for the rich. Let them pay more, otherwise, we will tie them up the mountain and let them go."
Their families use money to ransom people, and if they don’t give the money, they will break the bonds.”
Sure enough, the wealthy squires who were already frightened were even more frightened now. They also imitated Liu Defu and said, "What a good man! We are willing to pay."
Gao Han said: "Okay, since everyone is so happy, I am happy too."
He said to Liu Defu: "Mr. Liu, you have taken refuge with the Japanese and considered the traitor as your father, so you should be killed. However, I still have to give you a chance. I will forget about what you have done in the past. Now I need you to do something for the anti-Japanese war."
As a matter of fact, if you are rich, just take 20,000 oceans and 20,000 catties of grain."
So much ocean and food is not a small sum. Although Liu Defu feels very sorry for him, his family has a big business. All his properties combined have a net worth of at least 600,000 yuan. It will not hurt his bones to spend all this money.
, and these bandits did not kill people, ransack their homes, or touch their women, so they were very lucky. So he said cheerfully, "Thank you, good man. I am willing to contribute to the anti-Japanese war, and I pledge my donation."
Then, Gao Han said to the remaining five squires: "You guys are not good birds, but since you have not done anything too outrageous and harmful to nature, I will give you a chance.
Two thousand oceans and 3,000 kilograms of grain."
Regarding the conditions proposed by Gao Han, these people felt that it was not a big deal, so they all readily agreed.
Gao Han said: "This is best. Don't worry, as long as you cooperate obediently, I will not come to trouble you again. Of course, if you want to come to trouble me, then let's talk about it separately.
Also, please bring some medicinal materials from home."
Liu Defu and others also agreed.
Gao Han said: "Send someone to do it immediately. However, I will give you half an hour."
Liu Defu's steward Wang Fengnian hurriedly went down to prepare, and the villagers also asked their followers to fetch oceans and grain.
The reason why Gao Han only asked for such a small amount of money from Liu Defu was that Liu Defu's family ran an industrial enterprise. He did not hide money at home like ordinary country rich people. Most of the money should be in the bank. Even if he got the bank
Tickets are useless.
On the one hand, this town is too big. They only have 19 people and it is impossible to control the entire town. By this time, someone should have gone to the county town to ask for help.
Gao Han doesn't have that much time, so it's better to cut the knot with a quick knife.
Besides, he didn't want to push these people too hard, so that they wouldn't have a strong sense of revenge. In order to avoid trouble, most of them would not provoke Taohuashan.
There are deeper considerations why Gao Han did this.
Taohuashan's current influence is very small, but sooner or later it will develop to the point where the Japanese and puppet troops are very afraid. It will inevitably be besieged and tightly blocked by the Japanese and puppet troops. By then, the supply of materials will become a huge problem.
.
Gao Han left room for work and could raise necessary supplies through Liu Defu and others in the future. By doing this now, he left a way out for himself and Taohuashan's future.
Zhang Quan led two team members and escorted the town security captain to find the doctor in the town.
While Gao Han and others were talking, Du Shengxi was thinking about the poor girl. He entered the new house with a gun in one hand and a machete in the other.
The people who were guarding Zhao Xuemei were so scared that they ran away. All they saw was the bride wearing a red hijab and a red cloak sitting beside the bed.
Du Shengxi said: "Girl, don't be afraid. I am from the Jinsui Army. We have captured that old dog Liu Fugui and came here to save you."
Zhao Xuemei had already heard the gunshots outside and knew what had happened outside. She was very happy to hear Du Shengxi's words, but she was tied up and her mouth was gagged, so she could only make a whining sound.
Du Shengxi said: "If you don't want to marry an old dog like Liu Defu, then leave quickly."
Zhao Xuemei wanted to leave, but she couldn't move and made a series of anxious whining sounds.
Du Shengxi had already guessed that the bride might be tied up, so he said: "Girl, if it's inconvenient for you, I will help you lift the hijab."
Zhao Xuemei nodded vigorously, and Du Shengxi stepped forward and lifted her hijab, took out the towel from her mouth, and untied the rope.
Zhao Xuemei knelt on the ground with a plop and said gratefully: "Thank you, big brother."
Du Shengxi saw that this girl was somewhat similar to his sister. When he saw her kneeling on the hard ground, he said distressedly: "You're welcome. Get up quickly."
In the yard, Gao Han said to the county magistrate's secretary Yang Jiong and the adjutant of the security army Li San: "The devils have invaded our country, burning, killing, looting, and committing all kinds of evil. You people who seek refuge with the devils are traitors and you really deserve to be killed."
Yang Jiong, the secretary of the county magistrate, was ashamed, blushed and said nothing.
Li San, the adjutant of the security army, said hurriedly: "Good man, I can't help it. The team surrendered and I had nowhere to go, so I joined the security army. I have never bullied the people."
Gao Han said: "Let's forget what happened in the past. I believe you are helpless. However, I hope that when you work for the devils in the future, you will be as lenient as possible and not harm the people. If possible, secretly work for the country."
Do something meaningful."
Yang Jiong and Li San both nodded in agreement.
Gao Han did not embarrass the county government officials or other people in the yard. He had long-term considerations.
Today's Taohuashan is too weak to withstand a major battle, so it has to give itself time for training to train a strong force.
For a team like Gao Han who dominates the mountain, although the Japanese field army is powerful, they are not familiar with the place and will not stay in one place for a long time. Therefore, they do not pose much threat to Gao Han and others.
The people who can attend Liu Defu's wedding banquet are all well-known people in the local area. They are familiar with the terrain and people's customs. They are local snakes, have complicated relationships, and have many eyes and ears. These people are the most difficult to deal with.
If these squires come together to deal with Taohuashan, there are more than 400 people in a security brigade in Shouyang County. They can also tangle with the security teams in various towns and villages, and they can gather at least 1,000 people. With the support of the Japanese, they can attack with all their strength.
Peach Blossom Mountain will definitely be a disaster for the current Peach Blossom Mountain.
Gao Han only targeted Liu Defu and others, and did not involve the interests of other squires. This matter became a personal grudge between Gao Han and Liu Defu and others, and other squires would not participate. Moreover, Gao Han did not embarrass the county government.
Officials, this matter does not get the support of the government. I am afraid that even the Japanese army will not allow the security forces to use all their forces to deal with Taohuashan.
Gao Han's actions played a role in dividing and disintegrating various forces in Shouyang County.
At this time, Du Shengxi led Zhao Xuemei over.
