"Could it be that we need to be small and act internally?" Zhang Tianbo was a little scared. This kind of job of cutting off barriers and locking people down was something he could only do according to what Mr. Ben said. It's all a matter of narrow escape.
"There is no need for this." Zhan Zhekun reassured, "You just need to implement the plan..."
Wang Chuyi was in a good mood these days. First, the recovery work in Yangshan County is progressing smoothly. Most of the refugees who originally lived in various places have now returned to repaired houses and are making a living. The daily distribution of relief food has gradually decreased; second, the roads in the county have basically been restored. The traffic flow was smooth, and business trips to various places began to appear; thirdly, Sun Dabiao of Dalangwei, whom he regarded as the biggest unstable factor, finally bowed his head and surrendered because of the incident of attacking the logistics team. He sent someone to tell him that he was willing to dismiss his brothers, wash their hands in a golden basin, and move out of Dalangwei. However, his family still had "many properties" in Dalangwei, and he asked the county for "protection."
In this way, Sun Dabiao's gang was completely eliminated. Next, Feng Haijiao, who had been ready to make a move and accepted the reward from the Ming Dynasty, was just a fish in the bottom of the cauldron.
"You tell him that as long as his family's property is a serious business, the Senate will protect it without his special instructions." Wang Chu said, "As for his family's residence in Dalangwei, although it is vacant, it is still intact. Protect."
"The master is benevolent." Zhang Tianbo said with a flattering smile, "It's just his brothers..."
"Didn't we already talk about his brother's matter last time? Those who are willing to go home, the county will help them settle down and engage in production; those who are not willing, they will be allocated to the National Army to replenish the troops, and then they will be recruited one by one to join the National Army as soldiers. .”
Since Sun Dabiao expressed his willingness to withdraw from Dalangwei and "wash his hands in a golden basin", he has repeatedly mentioned the placement of his minions to the county. Zhang Tianbo, the middleman, went back and forth four or five times, and it was basically finalized.
"The master has misunderstood. It's not about this." Zhang Tianbo was a little nervous and swallowed, "Sun Dabiao's men said that Sun Dabiao had taken care of them for many years. We must pay attention to brotherhood. We can't just pick it off quietly. The font size washes hands with a golden basin. We need to hold a conference to wash hands with a golden basin. Please...please...the county magistrate also goes...to witness..."
"Oh, that's what happened." Wang Chu nodded. This request was somewhat unexpected. But then I thought about it, and it was not surprising that Sun Dabiao and his men had such thoughts. Wang Chuyi was a peddler when he was young, so he knew quite a bit about these green forest figures. We know that most of their so-called "washing hands in the golden basin" is a "last resort". After "washing hands", most of them will not end well. Now Sun Dabiao wants to wash his hands in a golden basin, and it is inevitable that his disciple Sun Tu will die and be sad. He wants to ask the county magistrate to preside over it, just because he wants the county to express its position and ensure that the whole family is safe for the rest of his life.
"This matter is very important and I can't agree to it now," Wang Chuyi pondered for a moment and said, "You go back - when did he choose?"
"It is tentatively scheduled for July 28th - the weather is a bit hot, so it is not suitable to do it. It's just that Sun Dabiao wants to show his sincerity, so he is in a hurry to do it."
"You go ahead. Before that, I always have to give you a reply."
"Yes Yes."
Wang Chu discussed the matter with the county officials.
Sun Dabiao's willingness to withdraw from Dalangwei is naturally a good thing for Yangshan's overall situation. The focus of the problem is that this meeting is a "Hongmen Banquet".
His "chief think tank" Peng Shou'an's private judgment is that Sun Dabiao should not dare to cause trouble, but after all, Wang Chuyi is involved in danger - if something goes wrong, he, Peng Shou'an, will not be able to live with it. Therefore, he has a "cautious" attitude towards this.
As for other naturalized cadres in the county, they basically hold an opposition. Especially Luo Yiming and You Ciren, who are in charge of public security. Although they had some doubts about Sun Dabiao's withdrawal from Dalangwei, they believed that given Sun Dabiao's current situation and strength, he probably had no other choice; it was just that they were very disgusted with Wang Chuyi for letting Sun Dabiao go and not "liquidating" him.
In their view, Sun Dabiao was a "crime-ridden" in Yangshan. He was not only notorious in the Han area, but also a despotic bandit who was hated in the Yao area. The thorough liquidation of Sun Dabiao will not only completely remove this cancer, but also win the hearts of the grassroots people in Hanyao, Yangshan, so that no matter what they do in the future, they will have the basis of public opinion.
Wang Chuyi was ambiguous with Sun Dabiao in such a clear-cut manner, saying it was a "stopgap measure", but if he really wanted to "wash his hands in the golden basin" for Sun Dabiao and land safely, it turned out to be a burden that he couldn't move or remove. Therefore, they also objected to Wang Chuyi going to the scene of washing his hands in the golden basin to support Sun Dabiao.
"One more thing," You Ciren said, "Sun Dabiao and Feng Haijiao have a very close relationship. Until now, he has not taken the initiative to explain the relationship between him and Feng Haijiao to the county. What are the two people discussing in private? We know nothing about what the business is. But one thing is very clear to us. Feng Haijiao was granted a title by the Ming Dynasty and became a general, and he openly recruited troops in Qinglianwei. He is very likely to have a big fight with us. mean."
Luo Yiming nodded: "If Sun Dabiao and Feng Haijiao secretly colluded, wouldn't you, County Magistrate Wang, throw yourself into a trap?"
Wang Chuyi was quite unhappy and said, "In this case, what do you think we should do?"
According to the opinions of most people, Sun Dabiao should not be allowed to "wash his hands in a golden basin" at all, but should be directly eliminated. But when things have reached this point today, they are already in a dilemma. Therefore, none of the naturalized civilian cadres said anything. Peng Shou'an, on the other hand, coughed slightly and said: "In the student's opinion, the county magistrate does not need to go to this golden basin hand-washing ceremony - it would be too preferential treatment for Sun Dabiao. If the student can be trusted, the student will be willing to go. Presumably Then Sun Dabiao doesn’t dare to complain.”
You Ciren said: "He, Sun Dabiao, pointed to County Magistrate Wang and made him a banner. It's not worth it and unnecessary for you to take the risk alone. If you ask me, just don't go."
Peng Shou'an still wanted to speak, but Wang Chuyi waved his hand and said: "If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you catch the tiger's cubs? This Sun Dabiao is playing as he wished, and we will help him fight. I think this golden basin still needs to be washed. go."
"What?!" Everyone in the conference room was shocked. You Ciren was about to object when Wang Chuyi shook his head and said, "You don't have to persuade me. I have my own opinion - to put it bluntly, this matter is Sun Dabiao wants me to go to the platform for him to ensure his safety for the rest of his life. I think this platform can be used, but it can’t be too cheap for him.”
"What County Magistrate Wang means..." Peng Shou'an asked cautiously.
"Sun Dabiao is very concerned about the future of his minions, and he is also worried about his future safety. I think it is better to follow the practice of their green forest people and ask him to write a surrender letter while he washes his hands in the golden basin."
Wang Chuyi's plan was to not allow Sun Dabiao to engage in any "gold basin wash hands" - the reason was that this was a green forest name and was not suitable for officialdom. Instead, it was changed to "Adaptation Conference."
Specifically, Sun Dabiao's minions were organized into the temporary second squadron of the National Army, with Sun Dabiao or someone designated by him as the squadron leader. After the adaptation, the whole team immediately headed to Qinglianwei to conquer Feng Haijiao.
If Sun Dabiao shied away, he had second thoughts and took advantage of the "Adaptation Conference" to capture him in one fell swoop; if he really had to lead his troops to conquer, it goes without saying that the temporary second squadron would be the first to fight. After a fierce battle, he would definitely be defeated. Being maimed. Regardless of whether Sun Dabiao has second thoughts or not, he can't make any waves. It just kills two birds with one stone to solve these two major bandit problems.
"...If he is willing to go to conquer and works hard enough, we can spare his life and save his leader and family property." Wang Chu said, "Otherwise, we will deal with him slowly - he will leave the country anyway. Langwei has nothing to rely on."
No one had any objection to this proposal, except that Wang Chuyi went to Dalangwei to attend the "Adaptation Conference". After all, this is a matter of getting into the tiger's den.
Wang Chuyi thought this was not a problem.
"What are you all afraid of? I won't go to Dalangwei alone. Since I want to go, I will naturally take the troops with me. After this conference, the troops will take over Dalangwei. He, Sun Dabiao, has nothing to say. If If he dares to mess around, we will kill him on the spot!"
His plan is: he and You Ciren will take two squadrons to Dalangwei to participate in the "Adaptation Conference." Of these two squadrons, one is the Yangshan Temporary Squadron, which is mainly composed of Yao people; the other is the Yangshan Second Squadron stationed in Yonghua.
Two National Army squadrons arrived at Dalangwei. Sun Dabiao's men were only two hundred men, including those who were just trying to make up the numbers. He had to weigh his own weight if he really wanted to make any move.
Once the adaptation was completed, the Yangshan No. 2 Squadron took over Dawangwei, and the temporary squadron and the recruited Sun Dabiao's men immediately set off to attack Qinglianwei. The No. 1 Squadron of the Yangshan National Army, commanded by Luo Yiming, stayed in the county to deal with emergencies.
It is naturally difficult to attack Qinglianwei with these stray troops, but with the main components of this temporary squadron, it is more than enough to "watch" Sun Dabiao's men. If these bandits really want to make any move, Yangshan's temporary No. 1 Squadron, whose main component is the Yonghua Yao people, will never show mercy.
"...As for the attack on Qinglianwei, I will say hello to Chief Huang in advance and ask him to send some reinforcements. In this way, we will kill two birds with one stone, that is, we will eliminate Sun Dabiao's men and Feng Haijiao."
"Wonderful! As the saying goes, there are no plans left behind!" Peng Shou'an couldn't help but come out and boast, "County Magistrate Wang is indeed capable of bringing peace to the country with his literary skills and his country's stability with his military skills."
Although these words contain elements of flattery, they are mostly true. Because this "strategy" is really in line with Peng Shou'an's "aesthetic taste".
"You're flattered. My idea has never changed, which is to use the lowest price to solve the banditry in Yangshan." Wang Chuyi said seriously, "Now this opportunity is in front of us, we must make good use of it."
