More than a hundred miles north of An County, Yongnian County, north of Handan.
Xu Tieying, also known as Xu Zhongqi, is twenty-nine years old.
As long as he can remember, his father smoked heavily, and the landlord's family declined rapidly. The three brothers of the Xu family were forced to make a living by selling salt.
As the Japanese moved south, the five provinces of North China fell rapidly, and the Kuomintang's rule completely collapsed.
The main force of the Japanese was eager to attack, and with limited troops, except for a few strategic locations, the Japanese simply did not have enough energy and troops to occupy most of the occupied areas. Therefore, large areas of occupied areas, including Yongnian, turned into anarchy.
For a time, bandits, gangs, landlords and tyrants, and other demons and monsters from all walks of life gathered to support themselves. "Commanders" were everywhere, and demons were dancing wildly.
Xu Tieying, known as the "Iron Motou", was a well-known local emperor in this area. He used clever names and extorted money, which made the local residents miserable.
This was simply not enough to satisfy Xu Tieying's appetite. Like most bandits, Xu Tieying committed almost all crimes including extortion, extortion, kidnapping, and even outright robbery and rape.
Xu Tieying has never gone to school and is illiterate, but she has a strong commanding ability. She has more than 3,000 bandits under her command and is quite powerful in combat.
The dilapidated Juyi Hall of the village hall.
Two bandit leaders of similar age got together.
Xu Tieying sneered and said: "...Commander Guo, how are you? I heard that you were beaten to a disgrace by the Eighth Route Army last year?"
Guo Qing's face looked a little ugly: "Master Xu, we Ming people don't talk secretly. If you deduct my batch of goods, do you think you can really eat it?"
Xu Tieying slapped the table: "Hey, you relied on that old bastard Li Ying to support you, and you didn't even pluck out your hair from my territory? Are you looking down on me...or do you think your surname is Guo? Can you also walk sideways on your territory?"
Guo Qing looked down upon him: "Pattern! Look at how your pattern is so small. How can I come so far to come to you in person for just one batch of goods?"
Xu Tieying was stunned for a moment: "Hey, no one of us is a good bird, so just fart!"
Guo Qing's words suddenly changed: "You were surrounded and suppressed by the imperial army a few years ago. If I hadn't cooperated with the Eighth Route Army, there would be grass growing on your grave now, right?"
Xu Tieying's face turned black and he was furious: "Don't mention that to me. If it weren't for the duplicity of the Eight Route Army, who deliberately sow discord in front of the imperial army, I might already be the commander of Handan Security, and there would be no need to stay here. In a broken village?"
"Hey, don't sound like a wronged little daughter-in-law. If you didn't follow the rules of the world, allowed your subordinates to harm the people, and acted against the imperial army, how could the imperial army surround you?"
"Fuck, you just talked nonsense, and you are talking about the devil again. What? Are you here to act as a lobbyist for the devil? To tell you the truth, if your goods fall into my hands, you can't even think of taking them back. Even if the devil comes, I will still do it. Do not care.
Guo Qing said sincerely: "That batch of goods is a small matter. Brother, there is a big deal here. I have nothing else to do here. Think about it, you have many people and guns now, so staying in such a small place is not an option. ,dont you agree?"
"Who are you...don't I know if you are thinking of attacking the Eighth Route Army again?"
"In these troubled times, someone with a gun is the local emperor. We have to make a plan for the future. Think about it. The Imperial Army took over the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army last year. The Eighth Route Army has become a grasshopper after the fall. Now if you don't embrace the Imperial Army's lap, don't you? Are you willing to take your brothers to drink the northwest wind in this corner, and even treat the little food you have as a treasure?"
"What do you mean?"
"The people are already poor. Even if you wipe them all out, you will still lose a few cents. What I mean is that we occupy the railway line and do business!"
Xu Tieying was a little moved, but shook her head: "Business? I don't understand."
"I have some connections on the railway. In these troubled times, rich people are the boss. Your place is adjacent to Daming Mansion in the east, Beiping and Tianjin in the north, Eighth Road in the mountains to the west, and Cheng'an County in the south. With such a good location, you can work every day Don’t you think it’s a waste to plunder the fields for food?”
"I'll think about it, we brothers won't come home until we get drunk today!"
...
Outside the village hall.
Qian Jiu looked at the man opposite him: "...Second Head of the House, can you make the decision on this matter?"
The second-in-command curled his lips and said: "Hey, the person named Guo is not a good bird? My brother has told you this. This batch of grain is now named Xu. The person named Guo came to my brother today and told you the truth. This matter It’s no use to anyone!
If I don't sell this grain to the Eighth Route Army, I will sell it to you. This is to give Commander Wang Ziquan some face. Kill the Nine Brothers. "
Zhang Jiudaxi said: "Xu Er is so happy as the head of the family, this matter is settled."
"Hey, let's talk first. This is an area occupied by the imperial army. We only accept cash or military notes. Don't bring legal currency. That thing won't work now."
Qianjiu hesitated for a moment, then suddenly asked: "Can you get more cloth?"
Xu Er, the head of the family, said nonchalantly: "As long as you have money, there is nothing on the railway that I can't get."
Zhang Jiu asked cautiously: "I want ten thousand horses! Can I get it too?"
Master Xu Er almost fell off his stool and was confused: "Holy shit, you want 10,000 horses? My darling... Do you think I'm the emperor's army? This can't be done..."
Jiuhei's face was slashed: "Otherwise, I'll charge you as much as you can get. If it's 20% higher than the market price, I'll give you another 10%!"
Mr. Xu Er calculated in his mind for a long time. Nowadays, a piece of cloth measuring four feet long costs almost two yuan. With this move, he can get "two hundred yuan", which is a big deal: "I can only get ten thousand pieces of cloth." Two hundred dollars? That’s boring!”
Zaijiu was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood that this guy was ignorant and incompetent: "Brother Xu, look, ten thousand pieces of cloth cost only 20,000 yuan. For the big boss, 20% is 4,000 yuan. Even if you take one Is it also two thousand?"
Mr. Xu Er was stunned: "So much? That's okay. Hey, I haven't read a book, so I can't calculate it. But with so much cloth, I can't find a place to grab it!"
Cut Jiu Xindao Did I ever read a book? This bandit is similar to me. He has been doing business without capital: "You don't need to rob, I will pay for it, buy it with real money and silver from the devil's store. Don't say you can't do this, right?"
"Buy? I seem to have never bought anything in the past few years except robbing..."
Cutting off nine black threads, these guys have a much lower limit than themselves: "You definitely can't rob it, you can only go to the commercial store to buy it!"
Master Xu Er rolled his eyes: "But, 20,000 yuan? How can I have so much capital?"
Qianjiu knew that the goods were not without money. They were asking for a deposit: "I can pay you part of it first. Besides, it's impossible to deliver so much cloth at once, right?"
"How much can you pay?"
"I'll pay you a thousand yuan first, and you can help buy five hundred horses first. When I receive the goods, I'll pay another two hundred to the boss, and I'll give you another hundred."
"Can't you buy it in the provincial capital in the south?"
Zaijiu shook his head: "The provincial capital in the south is close to the battlefield, and the prices are much higher than here. It costs almost two and a half yuan to buy a piece of cloth there. After all this trouble, after excluding the expenses, I can only earn 50 cents per piece of cloth. !”
Xu Er, the head of the family, was stunned for a moment. With this move, he could kill a hundred people. It was faster than tying up those rich businessmen. He didn’t have to worry about the rich gentry buying gunmen to retaliate. He also didn’t have to pay any money. He could do this: “Okay, you Pay a thousand yuan first, and I'll scrape together some money to buy you two thousand horses first. You'll bring the money for two thousand horses with you... I'll do the math..."
Zaijiu felt bitter in his heart. This business was not easy to do, and he had to help him settle the accounts: "The total is 5,200 yuan. I paid 1,000 yuan and then made up 4,020 yuan."
The second master of the house, Xu Er, counted on his fingers. It seemed that this was the case. He immediately raised his hand and said, "Let's go, let's find a place to drink first. You will take someone to collect the grain tonight!"
There are not many people in Zhuangzi, and the north is much better than the south, and is much less affected by drought.
The head of Xu Er is going to take Qian Jiu to the river to eat fish.
The girl with her head wrapped saw Master Xu Er appearing from a distance with his men, and immediately turned around and ran away.
The gangsters were delighted to see it, and Master Xu Er immediately winked at Zhang Jiu: "Brother Zhang Jiu, if you fall in love with a girl on the road later, tell me, and I'll snatch her away for you!"
Zhang Jiu was stunned: "Isn't this a bit unethical?"
Xu Er, the head of the family, said nonchalantly: "Daoyi? Your brother and I are Daoyi. There is no girl from all over the country that I have not slept with. Except for my eldest brother, I am the oldest here. Hehe, I have the final say on this matter, so you can do whatever you want." Take your pick.”
A bandit next to him proudly added: "Our third boss even slept with his uncle's daughter!"
The second head of the family, Xu Er, didn’t take it seriously: “That guy the third child is just a bastard, let’s not talk about him!”
