Chapter 71 Bandits’ Thoughts

Gai Tianjiu shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Where are there any three thousand people? Alas, I have been a bandit for generations, but I am tired. There are also reasons to defect to the adults."

"I wish to hear the details." Wang Maoru said.

Gai Tianjiu then told the reason for leading the crowd to vote. It turned out that after Wang Maoru supported 300 rifles, Gai Tianjiu took people back to his nest on the front line of the Great Wall. He fought with the Mongol bandits who occupied his nest. The old brother lost half of the losses, but also regained the nest. Later, Gai Tianjiu won over a few small groups of bandits from nearby hills, and took advantage of the increase in the number of refugees fleeing famines outside the pass in the summer, forcibly recruited refugees to expand into the bandit ranks. Although the number of people increased to a thousand, the old brothers had only more than one hundred, and their combat effectiveness was not as good as before.

After several conflicts with Mongolian bandits and the official army, the old brothers died one by one. Gai Tianji was frowning. One day, the military advisor said to him, "We have been bandits for generations, although we are happy, we are rootless weeds. No matter how big we are, we are the heroes of Liangshan, one hundred eight generals and one hundred thousand Liangshan bandits? The 100,000 Liangshan heroes have been recruited. King, let's change to the official body as soon as possible, so that we can give our descendants a good reputation in the future. If Gai Tian had a long time ago, he would have shot the military advisor. However, over the years, three of his four sons died, and his two daughters were not known whereabouts. Now there is only one son and one daughter around him. Even though he is young, he thinks about the future of the copycat.

Gai Tianjiu is also a clear-headed man. He summoned the old brothers in the village, military advisor Xu Lao Nian, the remaining three kings Bai Baotian, Hei Lang and Ma Sandao. The Iron Toad and Tota Heavenly King that Wang Maoru met last time were killed by the bandits in the battle to regain their nests. After several people discussed it, they thought that they could not go to Hei. Many bandits outside the pass were recruited, just like Zhang Zuolin, Zhang Huijing, and Feng Delin, all of whom were from bandits, and now they have become overlords. But when they surrendered to whom, the people below still had a dispute. Hei Lang said that he would surrender to Guangning Prefecture not far from here (now Beizhen City, Liaoning Province), Ma Sandao said that he would surrender to the First Army Division in Chengde, but Bai Baotian said that he would surrender to Cao Kun's third town in Baoding. Gai Tianjiu heard their arguments and noisy, slammed the table angrily, and said, "Don't talk, listen."

Military advisor.” Xu Lao Nian was very serious. He had read poetry and books, and looked farther away. He analyzed: "These three are not good. Although Cao Kun is powerful, the third division has never recorded the enlistment of bandits. If we go there, they will solve the problem on the spot and send it to the reward. We are not familiar with Cai Chengxun, the first division has also fought with us several times before. Although the commander of the first division was He Zonglian at that time, the generals below did not change, and the ones who should hold grudges still had grudges. As for Zhang Zuolin, it was even more impossible. He was a stingy man. Although his trick of capturing Du Lisan seemed amazing, he also used his brotherly feelings to turn against others. These three people were all at the top of the sky. Let's go, it was icing on the cake and nothing. If we could help in time, wouldn't it be even better?"

The three of them hurriedly asked who to send him away. Xu Lao Nian blinked at Gai Tianjiu. Gai Tianjiu said that it was Wang Maoru, the brother who had been sworn brothers last time, and now the Hulunbuir Guardian. Others knew that Wang Maoru made friends with them generously last time, and was generous. They always thought he was just a wealthy businessman, but now he became the leader of the land. However, Hulunbuir was the base camp of the bandit rebels. Although Wang Maoru was famous, he was unreal.

Xu Lao Nian advised again, what are the battles now? Money and guns? Wang Maoru has money. Last time he gave himself three hundred rifles, which shows that he has guns, money and guns, and he can recruit soldiers at any time. Now he lacks people. It is just his wish that we will take people to vote. Moreover, he needs talents now, so we will not be afraid of being criticized for rewarding merit when we vote.

So, Gai Tianjiu came to Beijing and found Wang Maoru after inquiring. Gai Tianjiu first made a test and saw that Wang Maoru sincerely treated him, so he told him in detail.

Wang Maoru was overjoyed and treated Gai Tianjiu with warm hospitality. He greeted everyone and introduced him. Naturally, the officers below were different. After all, this bandit was a bandit. It was nonsense to say that these officers from regular military academy didn't mind. Instead, they trusted the Director of Internal Affairs He Rufei and took Gai Tianjiu's hand and said, "I have known the name of Gai Tianwang for a long time. You have to know that your head is worth 100,000 taels of silver for the bandits. Haha, who is so valuable in the Republic of China? Gai Tianwang, you are the Scorpion Baba - the only one."

Gai Tianjiu scratched his bald head, laughed, and said, "I didn't expect my head to be so valuable, haha, haha."

Li Pinxian smiled and said, "Fortunately, King of Heaven, you abandoned the darkness and turned to the official road. Brother, think about it. If you are in the bandits again, what if someone is ill-intentioned and cut off your head and go to all parties to ask for rewards. Now that you have joined the government army, you are the one from the government, who dares to touch you?" Gai Tianjiu nodded and said that he would start to bring people to vote.

The 1,000 bandits who had been Gai Tianjiu ran away in the past six months, and they were dead. They looked very glorious, but in fact there were less than 500 people. After coming to Huairou Military Camp, the old and weak were eliminated, leaving only 300 people. Wang Maoru gave him a number to supplement the first battalion, which was not among the Army Department. He Rufei recruited soldiers from Zhili, with food, drink and clothing, and put on black armed uniforms one by one, but he envied others. Within a few days, it was said that the military camp here was the President's imperial guards, and many people took the initiative to join the army. He Rufei recruited 800 people effortlessly. Now the entire brigade is 3,300 people, which is really a full brigade.

However, Wang Maoru had quite a lot of people, including his own Huaxing Factory as well as the former flight team garrison brigade, as well as the new recruits sent by the Beijing government, as well as the old army, as well as the new locals, and the bandits who had just surrendered. After discussing with everyone, he believed that if he wanted to improve his combat effectiveness, he had to break up these people, regroup and retrain the troops, and then the entire brigade would conduct a month of military training.

Naturally, Gai Tianjiu and others were not listed here. They were bandits and surrendered, and it was inevitable that they would be wary. If they rashly merged their troops, it would cause Gai Tianjiu and others to be dissatisfied. But since they were in power for Wang Maoru, they always looked like they were doing it. Gai Tianjiu's military advisor Xu Lao Nian entered the Staff Office to become a staff officer, and the logistics officer Bai Baotian entered the General Affairs Office to serve as the General Affairs Office to handle the review of the military's food and food. Bai Baotian was from Shanxi, with the shrewdness and small calculations of Shanxi people. As soon as he took over the accounts, he was shocked and ran back to Gai Tianjiu and said nothing. He drank three big sips of wine. He saw Gai Tianjiu's black wolf, Ma Sandao and Xu Lao Nian were stunned and asked what was wrong.

Bai Baotian looked around the four people and asked, "Do you know how much money our 11th Army garrison brigade costs in a month?" The three of them said they didn't know, but Ma Sandao said, "Brothers got a lot of money for the family settlement. What's the lot?" Bai Baotian sighed, "In the past, we always thought that the world was so big, and it would be great to grab a ticket of several thousand taels of silver. Our border garrison brigade costs only 5,000 taels of silver in just eating, drinking, defecation, and military pay, and 15,000 taels of silver a month, and the fragments are not counted."
