"The Dragon Slayer Gang?"
Niuda below immediately expressed a little doubt. "Isn't it too vulgar? Or does Brother Zhang mean to use a common name to hide it a little, so as to avoid the eyes of Uncle Cao?"
"That's what I mean." Zhang Xing blurted out. "But it is not pure vulgarity, but pseudo-vulgarity...because it is not eliminating, but deposing, deposing and deposing..."
"What does it mean to depose a dragon?"
There is no one present who doesn’t know how to praise.
"Deposing the dragon means that the world is in chaos, smoke and dust are everywhere, the power of the Wei Dynasty has declined and it is difficult to recover, so everyone is vying for supremacy. At this time, the world is undergoing great changes, and the vitality of the world is abundant. It is not necessarily impossible for the strongest among them to become a saint and transform into a dragon... At this time , we first establish the foundation, win over the heroes, and spread the power. When the time comes to control the world, even those with the appearance of a true dragon can be deposed... It means being condescending, otherworldly, and under control."
Zhang Xing said one thing after another, Niu Da and others were stunned for a while. People like Ma Ping'er felt that they had never seen as much in their lives as they did today, so they just nodded while breathing heavily.
As for the statement that Taoist Wei, Li Shu, Xu Dalang, etc. were all serious cultural figures, I felt that they were arrogant and even a bit explicit, so I guessed that it was possible that Mr. Zhang had another explanation hidden in his mind. I just don’t want to say it in public.
This is not about blaming someone’s innocence out of thin air.
In fact, there have been rumors among the public that the nickname "Dragon Sword" was originally created by Mr. Zhang himself in Jing'an Terrace, and it was for him to prepare himself to be listed on the elite list or become a person in the future. The name when he was at the top of the list was originally to echo the Heavenly Sword... As for the reason, it is self-explanatory.
But at this time, many reckless people and ignorant people thought that Mr. Zhang, who was on the black list, not only killed a Nanya Xianggong, but even tried to assassinate the saint. This was a mistake. Hit.
However, even so, why would Li Shu and others break up with Zhang Xing on such a nonsense?
It's just called the Zhanji Gang... Of course not the Zhanji Gang... But as long as it doesn't go too far, just let it go with the name, and maybe even laugh secretly at Zhang Sanlang for not being able to tell the difference between big and small. In order to highlight your sense of existence, you have to mix in everything.
All in all, without Li Shu saying anything, the name of the Deposed Dragon Gang was finally decided.
After deciding on this matter, the few leaders below were still very interested, but the top leaders also became serious...because what comes next seems to be something crucial.
"The name has been decided, and the next step is naturally the gang's rules and future strategies." Zhang Xing sat in the seat and looked at Taoist Wei sincerely. "Brother, where do you want to start the discussion?"
Taoist Wei glanced at Zhang Xing and felt happy. He immediately put down his twirling beard, clasped his hands in front of the chief and said: "Let's start with the rules, specifically the personnel rules... Third child, you are the one who arranged the seats. , you have to speak up for this matter."
Zhang Xing immediately laughed... This Taoist priest Wei is indeed a top-notch smart man, very useful, but on the other hand, if you give such a person a name, he may not be able to find his own way and do something... …but so what?
After thinking about this, Zhang Sanlang just looked at the people below, and then spoke without hesitation:
"What I mean is very simple. A dragon cannot do without its head. First of all, Brother Wei, Mr. Li... Second brother Li, and I, Zhang Xing, have been recommended by all the brothers and have always been commander-in-chief, issuing orders and issuing orders. , and if there are any discrepancies between the three of us, it will naturally be up to the three of us to negotiate among ourselves.
"However, there are other explanations. For example, the three of us may not know as much as our brothers about specific places, key incidents, or even the life and death of our Dragon Gang. If we have a good idea, we naturally need the leaders to join us at this time. Talk... For example, today, since it is the situation between Brother Yu and I, Wang Wulang, I will first explain the general rules, but the brothers are all here, and if you don’t hear me well, just say it, as long as there are two of the three of you The leader’s opinions are general, even I have to listen to what my brothers want, and we just need to discuss everything together.”
After hearing this, everyone nodded, saying that Brother Zhang was loyal and knew how to take care of his brothers.
When Li Shu and Taoist Wei heard that the three men were responsible for "commanding in ordinary times", one knew that Zhang Xing had fulfilled his promise and did not lie, and the other was a little touched, and they were even more speechless.
As for the fact that two of the three leaders have the same idea and are both opposed to the top, in the eyes of most people, this seems superfluous, because who among the top and bottom is not dependent on the other? Is it that you, Zhang Sanlang, are not dead-set, or that Xu Dalang will not support Li Shu?
However, if one of them can really control two-thirds of the leaders, he will truly be the leader alone. Taking advantage of the situation to depose the other one seems to be logical, but it is a bit like a hidden button.
Therefore, for a while, everyone looked happy and thoughtful in their hearts.
There was only one Shan Dalang who was obviously restless and inconsistent with others.
Of course, Zhang Xing knew what this Jiyin underworld tycoon meant. He did raise his hand slightly towards this hero whom he met for the first time today, signaling him to be calm, and then continued:
"However, brothers have to do things every day and have their own business. Where can we get together? Even the three of us will have to move around in the future when the gang is spread out. So if something happens in our respective places, who will take charge? Therefore, don’t hide anything, you must point out some big bosses... One is to take charge of local business, the second is to lead specific special matters, and the third is to meet new people who join the gang. Should you be a big boss or a leader, what is your ranking? This time, it can’t always be good. It’s all arbitrary by the three of us, and someone needs to discuss it.
"For example, the brothers gathered today are all heroes from around Jishui. In the east of Jiyin County, Shan Dalang will naturally make the decision; in the west, Wang Wulang will make the decision; and from the east to the Yellow River, Xu Dalang, who has just moved there, will definitely make the decision. These are the three big leaders...
"Moreover, since we are one and the same family, we must put away our private barriers and frictions and deal with the outside world as one. Then if we are close together, if there is really friction, or if we want to do something together, it is natural to ask the big bosses To do it with others, first use the small number to serve the large number, and then use the low position to obey the high position. Otherwise, what kind of seats and leaders will be arranged?
"Shan Dalang, Wang Wulang, Xu Dalang, you three brothers, are you willing to recognize me?"
How could Shan Tonghai and Wang Shuyong deny it?
Shan Tonghai had never expected to be compared with the two people above who were the most respected people in the world. He also knew that Taoist Wei was the leader. He clearly and simply got the chief of the three big bosses below, and this big boss There is also the right and responsibility to discuss the status of newcomers. It would be strange if you don't want to!
Wang Shuyong was even more simple. What was he trying to do to block Zhang Xing? His purpose was to get over Xu Dalang's head. Now he was half a head taller than Xu Dalang. He only felt comfortable and had no other thoughts in his heart.
As for Xu Dalang, up to now, he has shown the most sincerity. He was actually the first one to come out and salute Zhang Xinglai on the spot: "The third brother said it is appropriate, this is the arrangement. If anyone is dissatisfied, first follow me, Xu Shiying." Step over!"
Zhang Xing just laughed and didn't bother to pay attention.
Besides, there are so many gangs in the world, and many things are like that. It is said that everything will never change without departing from the same clan. Since Xu Shiying agreed first, everyone knew that this was a roughly three-tier power structure.
At the top, not to mention the somewhat embarrassed Taoist Wei, Zhang and Li, two rebels with great reputation in the world, took the left and right dragon heads.
Below is the layering of big bosses and bosses.
But right now, there are only three big leaders, namely Shan, Wang, and Xu.
These three people are indeed the three tycoons in the upper reaches of Jishui River. If there is a rebellion, these three people will definitely contribute money and efforts. The manpower and material resources of other leaders are really difficult to compare with these three people. Zhang Xing and Li Shu see It seems like he bowed to him at the first glance, but just like Xu Dalang complained in private before, he only has a name, but in fact he has nothing.
In this way, the basic power structure of the Deposed Dragon Gang was roughly laid out, and it was not too surprising. The only drawback was that maybe because the two leaders were in name only, in order to stir up trouble, they had to ask the most powerful big brother The leaders and ordinary leaders have transferred a lot of power, which is in sharp contrast to other gangs where the leader is dictatorial.
Next, many other rules were naturally added... How to deliver information, how to set up secret codes, how to punish traitors... These rules were all ready-made. Zhang Xing and Li Shu did not say anything loudly, and at most they heard a few words. It was a bit too crude and vulgar, so I couldn't help but inquire a little bit, and after confirming that it was some muddle-headed stuff, I made some improvements, but at the core, it was still the same thing as in the martial arts world.
However, after agreeing on these, a sensitive topic still had to be brought to the forefront by Taoist Wei.
"Actually, as I just said, the next big thing is to gather heroes and launch a career." Taoist Wei gradually became more energetic. "Then some heroes, especially those who will most likely agree to join the gang, or who should definitely be invited, should take this opportunity to have a serious discussion about whether they should be given the position of the big leader, and where exactly should they be ranked? This In fact, it is also a personnel matter, which must be discussed face to face by the two brothers on the left and right and the leaders."
There is nothing to say about this.
But Zhang Xing still did not give in. He only glanced at the Ma family and his daughter, then raised his hand and pointed: "Du Po Zhen of the Huaiyou Alliance, my brother who is my best friend in life and death, can he be worthy of the big leader? How many members of the Huaiyou Alliance are there? A gang leader, can he be an ordinary leader?"
Everyone nodded one after another, and Shan Dalang even stood up to give way, saying that if the main leader of the Du Po Formation came, Du Meng must be above him... Not to mention the others, in an instant eighteen people agreed with sixteen people and identified Du. Po Zhen and his close deputy Fu Boshi must be the big leaders of the Deposed Dragon Gang, and Du Po Zhen must be the first big leader.
Regardless of the territory, strength and industry of the Huai Youmeng family, they were already several times the size of the Caotai team of the Deposed Dragon Clan.
In this case, the trapped Ma family and his daughter could only remain silent.
Then, Li Shu unceremoniously named the purple-faced king Xiong Bonan, and everyone had nothing to say...Although Shan Dalang hesitated a little this time, he took the initiative to give up his position again... There was no way, the Purple Faced King not only had friendships with Li Shu and Zhang Xing, but he was also a veteran Ning Dan, with his cultivation, reputation, and wide acquaintances, he had no choice but to accept them.
Especially the people here.
Li Shu just showed his hand, and he was not sure whether it was Ning Dan or Cheng Dan. Zhang Xing could only guess that Ren and Du had both connections, and Ning Dan was in sight... The others were waiting, only Shan Dalang was faintly visible at the joint of Ning Dan. On top of that, the rest such as Wang Shuyong, Xu Shiying, Wang Zhen, Zhou Xingfan, and Niu Da are all just with extraordinary cultivation, and they really need Xiong Bonan to enrich their high-end combat power.
Going further down, we talked about how to contact Cheng Dalang, who was very famous in Dengzhou and was said to be an alchemy cultivator. He talked about the Zhai brothers whose elder brother was a facao in Dongjun and whose younger brother was doing business on the road. They talked about the people in Juye Zeli. A bunch of leaders of defeated troops talked about Zhishilang Wang Hou of Yimeng Mountain, talked about the Hongshan Bandit Broadsword King Huchen, talked about Hao Yide in Hejian, talked about the joint leader of the Thirteen Forts in Taiyuan, Polangdao Hong Changya, and talked about Gao Gao Dou Lide and Sun Anzu of Jibo, Gao Shitong and Sun Xunzhi of Bohai, Ergao of Dongqi State in Huairong... Shan Dalang did not give in anymore.
Without him, these people, either Shan Dalang claims that his ability, reputation, and strength are only high but not low, or they are the kind of rafters who are the first to die first, as mentioned before, or they are too far away and meaningless, just mentioning their names.
Even when it came to Zhang Jinscale, who was on the other side of the Yellow River, Zhang Xing and Li Shu agreed that not only could he not be accepted, but they should also take the initiative to expel him and not allow him to enter the territory of the Deposed Dragon Gang. Zhang Sanlang even suggested that he should find an opportunity to kill this person to establish his authority... The reason is simple. Although this person was a hero in Qinghe and a master of cultivation with a clear connection, but after he became a thief at the beginning of the year, he became unscrupulous and killed without restraint. Two months ago, he was the first rebel army to massacre a city in Hebei.
This kind of person, not to mention Zhang, Li and Wei, is not acceptable to the current foundation of the Deposed Dragon Gang, that is, a group of powerful men in the upper reaches of Jishui who are behind the Dong Qi generals.
In fact, along the way, Zhang Xing gave up the Yimeng Mountain and Juyeze areas, which were mostly deserted but had countless opportunities, and instead chose to set up a flag here at Wang Wulang. He was not just worried about those two places. They will be attacked first by the Wei army. This is also because the discipline level in those two places is too bad and the quality of the leaders is too low.
Relatively speaking, people like Xu Dalang and Wang Wulang, although they are also typical reactionaries of the feudal era, are indeed far superior to those bandit leaders in terms of personal quality, organizational ability, and vision.
Even if you try to reason with these people and set rules, they will still be listened to.
When the matter has reached this point, it is officially settled. The next step is naturally the traditional program, the so-called big bowl of wine and large pieces of meat... Of course, the wine and meat belong to Wang Wulang's family, and he is quite happy with it.
As soon as the banquet ended, before evening, Ma Sheng and his daughter took the initiative to come to Zhang Longtou to say goodbye. They only said that they would leave early the next morning and came to see Brother Zhang to say goodbye and ask for advice.
"Then go back."
Zhang Xing seemed to have expected it, but he saw the other two directly in the courtyard where he lived, and then pointed directly at Wang Zhen. "Let my brother go with you tomorrow...and then he will go to Mangdang Mountain to establish a business...I won't write a letter, so as not to cause trouble to your leader Du, let him take care of him and send some goods and supplies."
Ma Sheng is a person who understands the situation and knows that his family is destined to meet by fate. He does not know whether it is a blessing or a curse when he encounters these extravagant people and things, so he just bows his head and says nothing. Although Ma Ping'er is younger and eager to try many things, when facing these young tycoons or big shots in private, he can't help but feel a little ashamed. He doesn't say much. He only thinks about how to talk to his friends about today's events when he goes back, and then thinks about it. How can I come back and participate.
"Third brother." Wang Zhen, on the other hand, although he had already made an agreement and agreement with Zhang Xing, now he also felt a little emotional. "I am a jerk, but since we have reached this point, please rest assured that I will not embarrass you in anything... But we are going to separate tomorrow and go to Mangdang Mountain. Do you have any words to give?"
Zhang Xing glanced at Ma Sheng and his daughter, and seemed to be magnanimous: "Actually, just like those words before, the Huaiyou League is of course half-reliant, but the business of this gang is too big, the territory is large, and there are many people. There are more than just Du Pozhen, and many others. Some of these people have military backgrounds, some have maritime business backgrounds, and some are local tycoons and water bandits. Now they all have direct dealings with Jingantai... You must Be careful, if you receive contact from the Huaiyou Alliance, be on guard first!"
Wang Zhen nodded quickly.
Then Zhang Xingfu came to see Ma Sheng again: "Protector Ma, this is also for you and your daughter, and especially for Brother Du... You must also be careful of the Huaiyou Alliance, and even Brother Du must be careful of the Huaihe Alliance." Right League, unless he can take full control of the situation."
This time, Ma Sheng did not hesitate or dodge, but responded seriously.
After sending Ma Sheng and his daughter away, Zhang Xing sat in the courtyard for a while. Sure enough, Xu Dalang took the initiative to look for them before dark.
"It made Brother Zhang laugh." Xu Shiying awkwardly handed over his hand as soon as they met.
"I've never seen him laugh before." Zhang Xing sighed, but actually refused to do it. "In this world, no one should make things difficult for anyone... What did my brother write in the letter to you?"
"Two things." Xu Shiying did not sit down, but just handed over his report. Zhenzhen was like a subordinate, and his attitude was completely different from the previous two meetings. "One is that he didn't know the location of the third brother when he wrote the letter. He asked me to advise the third brother to be careful and not to offend Uncle Cao if he bumped into me... But it's okay not to mention this matter; the other thing is, in fact, It's a business friction..."
"how to say?"
"At the beginning of the Three Expeditions to Dongyi, they marched along the river, so now the area around the river is full of bandits, and Dongjun is no exception. In order to survive, these bandits either come to rob the local Zhuangzi or go to Huan Water to grab the transshipment materials from the south... Alliance Leader Du feels that we, the bandits in Zhuangwei in the upper reaches of Jishui River, specially instigated the bandits to grab the supplies from the Huanshui and Liangjun canals, causing them trouble..." Xu Shiying narrates carefully.
"Two questions." Zhang Xing was silent for a moment and then asked seriously under the sunset in the courtyard. "First, have you told Mr. Li... Erye Li about this? Second, have you ever instigated those bandits?"
"I have already told Mr. Li. He said that this matter is related to Leader Du, so he specifically asked me to come to you, Third Brother." Xu Shiying had something to say. "As for those bandits, I really didn't instigate them. I didn't even know them...but I didn't dare to hide it from Brother Zhang... That day, Brother Zhang came to inform me that in order to avoid the people in Jing'an Taiwan, I didn't go south, but went to There was also a reason and idea to come to the abandoned Zhuangzi where the Dongjun army had just marched from the west, so even though there was no instigation, there was actually the intention of driving those people to the west and south."
"I understand what you mean." Zhang Xing sighed. "Then let me make it clear... first, the internal and external closeness is here, the foundation of the Deposed Dragon Gang comes first, don't worry about me, just let it go; second, after all, I have some relationship with Leader Du, stay here Sooner or later, this matter will cause trouble here, so I might as well leave tomorrow and go to Hebei immediately to do something for our Deposed Dragon Gang. You can use your skills after I leave... How about?"
Xu Shiying nodded repeatedly, but just didn't move.
"What?" Zhang Xing asked in surprise.
Xu Shiying hesitated, then lowered his voice and answered: "I actually have an idea, but I need Brother Zhang and Brother Li to nod together. I haven't told Brother Li yet, nor have I told anyone else..."
Zhang Xing stared at the other party without saying a word.
"Can you contact the government and pretend to be a bandit suppressor in the Wei Dynasty to destroy these bandits? And by the way, get some ordnance from the Wei court?" Xu Shiying finally revealed his strategy. "At this time, the imperial court will relax the situation a little and allow local heroes to serve the imperial court, right? However, this matter is too sensitive and I couldn't bring it up during the discussion at Juyi Hall before."
"You can tell Brother Li about this plan in my name." Zhang Xing stared at the other party and said what the other party wanted to hear, but he sighed in his heart.
The contrast between the weakness of Xu Dalang's personality and the strength of his talent is really sharp... Is this a real dragon, or is he a thief with an unchanging nature?
Xu Dalang just cheered up.
The next day, the newly formed Deposed Dragon Gang began to get busy. Xu Shiying went to the west to deal with banditry matters; Shan Tonghai sent Liang Jiading to Juyeze as an undercover agent and contacted the east at the same time; Wang Zhen followed Ma's father and daughter south; Wang Wulang began to take center stage. He contacted and invited surrounding heroes; Zhang Xing went north together with Wei Taoist priests, Li Shu, Zhou Xingfan, Niu Da, the Lu brothers, and Guo Jingke, and crossed the river four days later.
After crossing the river, Li Shu and Wei Taoist respectively tried to contact the famous families in Hebei. This was their natural network and they couldn't compete with them. As for Zhang Xing, he went down the river with Xiao Zhou towards the mouth of the river - there, there was a fifth-rank official who was said to be waiting for a reply from Dongdu.
The war was in turmoil, and it was not known whether the envoy could successfully reach the Eastern Capital. Maybe the Eastern Capital had forgotten that there was another person here.
Anyway, quite unlucky.
ps: Good night everyone.
