"You must be very unwilling!" Wang Chu said.
"Exactly!" Peng Shou'an stroked his long beard leisurely, "Sun Dabiao was originally the eldest of the three brothers and the strongest. However, he was caught off guard by the Yao people and his strength was greatly damaged. I was already angry. Now Feng Haijiao Being one step ahead of him and becoming the boss, he must be filled with jealousy and resentment. This is our great opportunity!"
Peng Shou'an consciously strategized, cheered up, and continued to offer his advice: "In that case, it's easy. How about killing two birds with one stone. First, he agreed to Sun Dabiao's conditions and gave him food and cloth. Then he was given the title of squadron leader of the National Army and Dawangwei's official position is to let him kill Feng Haijiao - as long as he can take Feng Haijiao's head."
"Can he do it?"
"It doesn't matter whether he can do it or not. As long as he accepts this trick and we let the news out, Feng Haijiao and Sun Dabiao will treat him as enemies. By attacking each other, we will have an advantage."
Wang Chu thought to himself that this scholar is really cruel in his heart! However, he would not have been able to come up with such a cunning strategy, and the Australians did not mention it during training. It is only said that to suppress bandits, we need to "mobilize the masses" and "rely on the masses" - we cannot say that these methods are useless, but they require a lot of manpower to do specific work, are slow to produce results, and consume a lot of manpower and energy. In comparison, Peng Shou'an's method is much simpler and equally effective.
"Okay, just do as you say!"
The next day, Wang Chu called Zhang Tianbo and praised him pleasantly. He also stated his own conditions.
"... As long as he takes Feng Haijiao's head, or captures him alive, and presents it to the county government, not only will I agree to all his conditions, but I will also recommend him to the Senate and promote him - you should know that the Senate is now When it comes to employing people, as long as he works wholeheartedly, he won't have to worry about finding a wife and a wife in the future, and the brothers under him will also have good results."
Zhang Tianbo's heart sank and his expression changed drastically. Wang Chuyi smiled and said, "How are you? Are you having difficulty?"
"Yes... no..." Zhang Tianbo swallowed, "Master! This matter is indeed a bit difficult to handle! Feng Haijiao and Sun Dabiao are sworn brothers. If Sun Dabiao is asked to do this, it will destroy the loyalty of the world. He, he probably won't of……"
"You're already an official, so why talk about loyalty?" Wang Chuyi was very scornful. "They are green forest people, and they all need a 'voucher' to join the gang. Now Sun Dabiao wants to join my Australian gang, if he doesn't show a How can anyone be reassured by the petition? Besides, I agree to all the conditions he wants - as long as he can do it! Don't worry, I will allocate one third of the food and cloth to you first, and let you go to Sun Dabiao's place to have one statement."
"Yes, I will tell Sun Dabiao right away." Zhang Tianbo had no choice but to resign.
Wang Chuyi immediately wrote a note, asking the warehouse to transfer twenty stones of brown rice and fifty bolts of cloth to Zhang Tianbo.
This aroused the opposition of several naturalized cadres, because the current situation in Yangshan is full of waste. Food, cloth, and other important livelihood necessities in the city are not enough for personal use at the moment. How can they be handed over to Sun Dabiao so easily to everyone in the county? The bandit leader who hates him to the core - he wants to surrender!
Wang Chuyi originally kept the matter secret to prevent anyone from leaking the secret. At this moment, encountering unanimous opposition from subordinate cadres, I had to gather all the naturalized cadres and hold an internal meeting with Peng Shou'an, where he stated his plan and asked everyone to cooperate.
Unexpectedly, this meeting would trigger a bigger backlash. In particular, Luo Yiming, the squadron leader of the Yangshan County National Army Squadron in charge of public security in Yangshan, expressed opposition to this strategy.
"Why use such a trick?" he asked, "Dalangwei was attacked by the Yao people of Yonghua last time. Sun Dabiao suffered a big loss and has not recovered yet. According to the merchants who have been there, He said that even the wall of the village has not been completely repaired. It is true that we do not have enough troops, but we can still mobilize the Yao people of Yonghua to participate - they and Sun Dabiao have stopped dealing with them a long time ago. If we have to deal with Sun Dabiao, the Yao people of Yonghua will definitely be overwhelmed. Send out help..."
"It's inappropriate, it's inappropriate." Peng Shou'an shook his head repeatedly, "It's true that the Yao people and Sun Dabiao have always had a feud, but to turn it into a war, they must ask for reward after the war - what does Director Wang want as reward? If it's salt, that's fine. . If we take this opportunity to occupy Dalangwei and refuse to leave, how should we deal with it? This Dalangwei is stuck in the throat of Yonghua Zhuyao. Xiaguan has been an official here for several years, and he still understands the local terrain to some extent: if they are By seizing Dawangwei, the Yao people could harm the whole county and even the three cities of Lianyang if they came out, and if they retreat, they could use this to resist the heavenly troops..."
"They don't dare to occupy Dalangwei!" Luo Yiming couldn't stand Peng Shou'an and his tactics, and said loudly, "What does our National Army squadron do? So many people in Bapaiyao were defeated by us in the same way. The Huayao people are even more defeated by us, how dare they show off their power in Yangshan?"
Peng Shou'an originally did not argue with the naturalized civilian cadres. In his opinion, first of all, it was a loss of status - after all, the naturalized civilian cadre Dou Dou had a rough background; secondly, he had to reduce his status and wanted to avoid disaster. However, since Chief Huang said some words of encouragement to him and Wang Chuyi trusted him everywhere, Peng Shouan could not help but have the idea of "repaying the country as a soldier". At this moment, he came out to defend himself and said:
"If we talk about force, naturally our Song Dynasty is not afraid of the Yao people's force. However, Yangshan has just been pacified, and both the Guan and Yao people are suspicious and fearful. If we rely on the force of the Yao people, not only will we win without force, but if the Yao people fight against If you refuse to give rewards, you will inevitably have grudges in your heart, which will lead to disputes in the future."
"Your plan is too ideal. What if Sun Dabiao doesn't fall for this?" Luo Yiming continued to object, "Sun Dabiao is just licking his wounds and living his life. Will he fight Feng Haijiao for this? What if he himself is killed by Feng Haijiao first? ? Even if he wins the fight and kills Feng Haijiao, why should he believe that Director Wang will fulfill his promise? Who will guarantee him? We all understand this, but how can these bandits not understand it? "
Peng Shou'an's face was very ugly. He snorted and said nothing. Sun Dabiao is indeed very likely to see through their strategy of driving away tigers and devouring wolves. But it doesn't matter: Sun Dabiao doesn't have many choices: there is no way out if he hangs around. Even if the Australians don't deal with him, sooner or later the Yonghua Yao people will come down to deal with him; if they choose to accept the Ming Dynasty's recruitment, the Ming Dynasty will Now the Lianyang area is beyond reach. General, garrison, chief... these official titles may sound prestigious, but in reality they are of no use at all.
However, he was too lazy to explain further: How could these rough people understand what "momentum" is? At the moment, the Australians are the "power" in Guangdong and Lianyang, sweeping everything. Those who follow it will prosper and those who go against it - it is impossible for a small group of people like Sun Dabiao to fight against this "trend". He was very confident: Even if Sun Dabiao could see it, he had to bite the hook.
In the end, Wang Chuyi made the final decision and made the plan.
In order to take precautions and to be ready to take action when necessary, the two National Army squadrons must be ready to join the battle at any time. Send more reconnaissance personnel to activities near Qinglianwei and Dalangwei to report relevant situations at any time.
At that moment, Zhang Tianbo came forward to lead the team and escorted Mi Hebu to Dalangwei. The news that Sun Dabiao was about to be recruited as an official by the Australians spread quickly.
Sun Dabiao was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth when he saw some cloth and grain coming. I almost said, "My parents are the one who gave me birth, and Director Wang is the only one who loves me."
"Brother, although this gift is delicious, it has a hook when you eat it." Zhang Tianbo couldn't help but remind him when he saw that he was so happy that he couldn't find it.
"how?"
"The Australians gave their elder brother money and food, and agreed to his conditions, but there were conditions - he must get rid of the second brother Feng. The second brother Feng came to Dalangwei a few days ago, and the three of us brothers also swore, 'Share the blessings together' , share the responsibility for any difficulties,' and he also promised to help you to ask for a seal. Do you think you should discuss this matter with him first? "
"Brother, what's going on with you now?" Sun Dabiao said with a smile, "We who lick our swords and lick our blood to make ends meet always only mean half of what we say - we can't take it seriously! Why didn't he send Feng Haijiao to him when he was recruited?" When someone came to discuss it with me, he rushed over and said that he wanted me to work with him to "conspire for a great cause" and "support the Ming Dynasty and destroy the Kun" - naturally I could only choose a few nice words to say. As for those few To put it bluntly, it’s nothing special—we brothers swear and swear too much, right?”
"But..." Zhang Tianbo was trembling with fear. Obviously, Feng Haijiao's visit a few days ago did not extinguish the sworn brother's anger. However, it wasn't that he couldn't understand Sun Dabiao's thoughts. It is said that they are "collaborating on a great cause", but in fact they are working under Feng Haijiao. Feng Haijiao is already the "General Manager", and Sun Dabiao is still a commoner. How can he "conspire for a great cause" together? Even if there is some merit, it will definitely be taken by Feng Haijiaolong who has an official status.
However, the current conditions of the Australians are a very clear strategy of "driving the tiger to devour the wolf". He wanted to induce Sun and Feng to kill each other, and then seek their own profit.
He could only remind him again: "Brother, whether you are recruited by the Australians or the Ming Dynasty, everyone must be harmonious to make money. You must not fall into their trick of killing people with a borrowed knife! Let alone start killing each other..."
"Haha, what's wrong with your brother? You're suddenly so hesitant." Sun Dabiao stood up and said with a smile, "That day when Feng Laoer came to my place, you still wanted to capture him and sacrifice him to the Australians."
"Hehe," Zhang Tianbo said sarcastically, "the so-called one moment and the other moment. When Feng Haijiao came to Dalangwei, he was a simple man in a light carriage. Our brothers captured him with a drum and presented him to the Australians. From then on, he was determined to follow the Australians, and there was nothing wrong with it. This is not a good way out. Now that this opportunity has been lost, if we want to plot against him again, we will have to fight with swords, and we must fight to the death of both sides..."
