Some people here may ask, why is the principal so easy to talk to now and always responds to Zhou Wen's requests?
In fact, from the principal's point of view, rectifying Yangtze River shipping, which has been in chaos for decades, is also what he has in mind.
As the head of a country, how could he tolerate the Yangtze River, known as the main water transport artery of China, to remain in such a state of disorder.
But at present, he is still powerless. Except for Jiangsu, although other provinces are also under the rule of the National Government, many local governments can only be regarded as allies at best and cannot be directly controlled.
These allies were all the forces that supported him during the Northern Expedition or the Central Plains War. Now he cannot and does not dare to just kill the donkeys and cause chaos and chaos across the country.
In this case, if he sends a large army to suppress bandits on other people's territory, it will easily cause misunderstandings, but if he only sends a small number of troops, the bandits might be suppressed instead, which would be a joke.
And now that Zhou Wen has taken the initiative to take over this hot potato, the principal is naturally happy to go along with the situation. If it succeeds, of course it is the Central Military Commission's credit; if it fails, it does not need to bear any responsibility or spend any money.
Of course, from the principal's point of view, whether it was national strategy or the Military Commission's dividends from the Yangtze River Company, he also hoped that Zhou Wen could succeed, so he gave the green light to Zhou Wen's request and even gave him a copy of the secret order from the Attendant's Office.
Moreover, he also knew that Zhou Wen had a strange kind of luck. Coupled with the super combat power of him and his soldiers, he was just like a dragon crossing the river. Maybe things that seem difficult to others can be easily solved in his hands.
So the day Zhou Wen got the secret order, he took his brothers and hired a boat and went up the river.
As for dealing with a few bandits, Zhou Wen would not bring all the brothers in the first team with him. After all, Shanghai's business has just started and still needs someone to watch over it.
So, after he discussed with Miaohua, Zhao Xiaojin took Niu Bao, Sun Dazhu and many Wudang disciples to stay at the base camp, responsible for taking care of the Lujiaqiao base and Fengyu Wharf under construction, and of course the defense company's business. If there is another business coming during this period, let little Henry and Zhao Xiaojin handle it as appropriate.
The affairs of Fengyu Terminal were completely handed over to Mr. Du's junior brother Su Jixian for overall management. After all, no one under Zhou Wen was good at this aspect. Su Jixian had been engaged in freight transportation for many years and was a member of the Youth Gang. The other one was Zhang Xiaoping's father-in-law-to-be. It is most appropriate for him to manage the identity.
But even though Zhou Wen didn't have many people with him this time, it can be said that all of them are masters who can stand alone.
Think about that time in Dawangzhuang, almost all the brothers at that time were cucumbers and eggs. After only a few months of training under Zhou Wen, they beat the bandits in the Funiu Mountain area until they cried for their fathers. They made a few fortunes. Windfall.
As for the current team members, not to mention Zhang Xiaoping, Ti Jing and Xu Dacheng, they are also ordinary team members of Li Hu and Er Gazi, including Tieniu. All of them are veterans with rich battlefield experience. Yes, sending just one person can stir up a group of water bandits regardless of their size.
And the facts prove this.
Just three days ago, they quietly came to Pengze County, adjacent to Hukou County, and were led by a local to find the most powerful and most vicious group of water bandits in Pengze County. The name of the water bandit leader is unknown. The bandit's name is called Floating on the Water.
It should be said that this floating man on the water was not a fisherman, nor was he a hero who was forced by the government to rebel against the people. He was a robber for three generations and worked as a robber in a water bandit den called the Tiesuo Gang.
In terms of its origins, the Tiesuo Gang is somewhat related to the Caogang Gang who made a living by transporting grain during the Qing Dynasty.
But after the advent of troubled times, the original gangs fell apart long ago, and were replaced by various small gangs and water bandit bullies.
Three generations of this floating family have made a living by robbing on the water. They have been licking blood with their swords for too long, and they have long since taken people's lives not seriously, not only other people's, but also their own.
It is said that his water bandit grandfather and water bandit father both died in an internal fight over the gang leader. At that time, he survived by jumping into the Yangtze River because of his good water skills.
No one expected that just a few years later, this floating man would return to the Iron Cable Gang with seven or eight desperadoes.
But this time he came back not to fight with a knife, but with a dark and shiny steel gun.
Being familiar with the roads, he led his men into the stronghold at night. Under a burst of gunfire, the water bandits who usually relied on swords and spears to bully the people suddenly panicked and became intimidated.
No matter how good you are in martial arts and dare to kill and fight, you still have to be a grandson in front of bullets.
Therefore, under the promise that they would only settle accounts with Shui Piao's enemies and never harm innocent people, the water bandits could only kneel down and beg for mercy, and sold out their gang leader, who was Shui Piao's enemy.
In front of a hundred or so people in the gang, Shui Piao killed the original gang leader and his entire family, while the gang leader himself scraped the man alive.
It is said that it lasted for three days, and the screams were still fresh in the memory of these gang members for countless years, and they were often awakened by nightmares at night.
And he also took the top spot in the Iron Chain Gang.
And Floating on the Water has gone through countless life-and-death struggles to achieve the status it has today. Those who know how to do this can't even think about a good death. So based on the idea of having a drink now, you will get drunk tomorrow, and don't care about the morals and gang rules at all, and do whatever you want to do according to your temper. Naturally, he offended some other gangs and colleagues.
However, more than ten years ago, most of these water bandits were local fishermen. They robbed families with a big knife in their hands. At most, they only had a few firecrackers that were not sure whether they could be fired. How could it be that seven people floating on the water could The opponent of eight quick guns.
As a result, within hundreds of miles of Pengze County, water floating on the water has become the master of the water bandit gang in this area.
In addition, I don’t know if this person had served in the military when he was absconding. Anyway, he knew some specious military knowledge. Not only did he buy guns and ammunition from everywhere through deceit and abduction, but he also successfully trained dozens of henchmen. , all dressed in black and carrying steel guns on their backs, their marksmanship was passable, but they became arrogant in the Pengze County area.
Because of this man's shady character, he can take advantage of all land and waterways, and he can do anything to kill people and steal goods. He also showed no respect for the government at all and refused to show any filial piety to his ministers, which naturally angered the officials in Pengze County.
Although there is no garrison in Pengze County, there are still security groups. Under the personal command of the county elder, nearly 300 heavily armed security groups marched towards the cottage floating on the water. Determined to eliminate harm for the sake of his name and bring peace and prosperity to the elders in Pengze County.
