    Chapter 169: Secret War with Yunnan, Guangxi and Guizhou (3)

    The vast mountains cannot be crossed by a golden roc.

    Only by walking in the 90,000 mountains at the junction of Guizhou and Guangxi can you realize the meaning of this sentence.  The mountains are endless, the mountains are huge, the valleys are deep, and the humid and hot air makes many people out of breath after just a few steps.

    The market in Zaibian Town, north of the mountains, is bustling with activity. People wearing Miao, Dong and other ethnic costumes and carrying baskets can be seen everywhere. It is these baskets that connect the mountains to the outside world.  Various delicacies and herbs were exchanged here for cloth, salt and other daily necessities.  This barter transaction method that has lasted for thousands of years has made silver less important.

    "Uncle Qi, why are you here?"

    In the most prosperous place in the center of the market, there is a shop that buys medicinal materials. The large characters "Xiang" in the shop tell others that this is a Hunan shop.  There are too many good things in the mountains, so the few guys who identify and collect medicines are so tired that they are sweating profusely.  Among the waiters, there was also a girl from the Miao family wearing blue and white clothes. When she saw the shopkeeper coming in, she ran over happily holding a wild Shouwu plant to claim credit: "Uncle Qi, do you see what I received today?"

    "Good boy." Uncle Qi has been collecting medicinal materials here for decades. With a glance, he knew that this Shouwu multiflorum plant was at least a hundred years old. He praised: "Our Xiang girl is so powerful now. She actually received such a good treasure. No wonder those  Shan Wazi¡¯s antiphons even reached the entrance of my store.¡±

    Xiang Meizi is not as shy as the Han family. Instead, she raises her neck like a proud little hen: "I don't sing their songs. If I want to marry, I will marry a hero of your Han family."

    "A great hero of the Han family? Hahathat's not easy to find." Uncle Qi laughed, and just as he was about to make a few jokes, he heard a shout from behind him.  "Uncle Qi, Ma Laosan is here to say hello to you."

    Turning his head, he saw a well-dressed man in his forties, with two Colt revolvers stuck in his waist, a bullet belt used as a belt around his fat waist, and a gold finger-thick gold hanging around his neck.  chain.  Next to him stood an imposing young man with a bare head in his twenties, and behind him were a dozen or so handsome men. Like the young man, these people were all wearing long robes, with bare heads and plugs in their hair.  Pistol looked unhappy.  Uncle Qi's expression changed slightly when he saw these people.

    "Isn't this Mr. Ma? Why do you have time to come to my store today? By coincidence, Xiangmei received a hundred-year-old Polygonum multiflorum, why don't you take it back and taste it?" Uncle Qi said, his expression quickly restored as he matured into a mature man.  He greeted her kindly, but Xiangmeizi snorted coldly and hugged Shouwu tightly as if she was disdainful of this Third Master Ma.

    Mr. Ma Sanye glanced at Xiang Meizi and glanced greedily at the exquisite body. However, he had been in Guinan for many years and knew that some things should not be touched, especially things related to the Miao family. Not to mention other things.  The skill of this person's poison is intimidating.  So after looking at it twice, he immediately looked away and said with a smile: "Uncle Qi, you are shortening my life. The third child cannot bear such a good treasure."

    Uncle Qi chuckled, and saw that only four of those bare-headed men came in, and the rest were on guard outside. There was a vague gesture of protecting the young man in the middle, and he became more wary of these strangers with unfamiliar faces.  He knew that Ma San was a famous master of this generation, so after saying a few words, he welcomed a few people into the inner quiet room and asked, "Master Ma San, who are these?"

    After Ma San respectfully asked the young man to sit down, he said, "Uncle Qi, these guys are all from Duyun."

    Duyun!  Uncle Qi's eyes turned cold. Who else could there be in Duyun besides that Tang Butcher?  In the past few months, everyone has heard too much about the butcher. It is said that he not only killed innocent people indiscriminately, but also recruited young men from all over the world, colluded with gangs, led the Yunnan Army to bring disaster to Guizhou, and was also a libidinous person who raped civilian girls. Such a character  How could he be willing to make friends? He said coldly: "Ma San, this small temple of mine really can't afford to entertain a few people. Please find another place."

    Ma San and the young man seemed to have known his temper, and they did not get angry and said: "We might as well open the skylight and speak frankly today. Uncle Qi, you must know what happened in Libo a few days ago. I heard that it was you people from Xiangxi who did it, Libo  But in our territory in Guizhou, aren¡¯t you taking this a little too far?¡±

    There are rules in rivers and lakes. In the past, there were contacts between Guizhou and Xiangxi Green Forest, but there was no boundary between them. However, since the National Defense Forces moved into Hunan, Xiangxi Green Forest was almost wiped out by the army. Most of them became obedient and became good citizens. The remaining ones were unconvinced.  So he came to Guizhou to discuss business.  Uncle Qi used to be a famous gangster in Xiangxi. When he was old, he lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests and came here to live in peace. Although he lived in seclusion, everyone who came from Xiangxi greeted him, so the new Xiangxi team that came to the mountains a few days ago  He knew very well about going to Libo to rob a ship of tobacco paste.  If it were anyone else, he might be willing to be the peacemaker, but Butcher Tang's goods and people made him hesitate.

    The bald young man hesitated to speak when he saw him, his eyes were darkLeng stood up and said: "Uncle Qi, if you think clearly, tens of thousands of people around you will be affected by your words!!"

    These threatening words made Uncle Qi tremble with anger, but there was nothing he could do. Although everyone hated Tang Butcher, there was a war outside. It was said that he had 20,000 guns in his hand, and his arms could not twist his thighs!  Finally, he thought about it and said, "I can take you there. As for whether you can get the goods back, you have to follow the rules of the world."

    Seeing Ma San and the man nodding, Uncle Qi asked the waiter to take a good look at the back of the store and led the group towards the mountain.  After bypassing two deep gorges, a mountain temple appeared in the mountain col. Several bandit soldiers who were on guard outside the mountain temple saw him and immediately came over: "Uncle Qi, why are you here?"

    "Yes, my brothers are planning to go to your store in two days to buy some good wine."

    Hearing the accent from his hometown in Hunan, Uncle Qi chuckled and waved his hand: "You bastards, you only know how to drink. Is your boss here? Go tell me that the boss of Libo is here to redeem the goods."

    Libo¡¯s boss?  The bandits were still drooling just now, studying how much they could buy a shipload of opium they snatched from Libo, how much each person could share, and how many guns and bullets they could sell. Unexpectedly, the real owner came to the door!  He quickly waved his hand to signal the sentry behind to strengthen their vigilance.  These bald men also drew their guns and walked towards the stronghold. However, the bald young man leading them seemed not to see the bandits all over the mountain, which made Uncle Qi secretly guess who this man was and how brave he was.

    In the mountain temple, Chen Haohui and Fang Rui were discussing matters. When they heard that their subordinates came to report that Libo's boss was coming, their eyes suddenly lit up.  Just as he was about to go out, he saw that several members of the team had Minyuan-style pistols exposed under their clothes. He quickly stopped them and said, "This gun is too eye-catching. I will replace them all with German-made Zilaidi."

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out of the door and saw the bald young man standing in the middle of the yard, Chen Haohui's eyes suddenly exploded with a bright light.  Tang Jiyao!  He had seen this man's photo countless times, but he never expected that he would come in person!  Fang Rui also looked at him carefully. Compared with the photo, he was indeed handsome in person. His bare head not only did not make people feel funny, but also added a bit of momentum. If the next task was not more important, he would  There was even an urge to suggest that Chen Haohui kill this person and get it over with.

    Chen Haohui took a deep breath and pretended not to recognize him. After looking at him for a second time, he turned to Uncle Qi: "Uncle Qi, what brought you here? Why didn't you say hello, so I can send someone to greet you."

    After Chen Haohui came here pretending to be a bandit from Xiangxi who was killed by the National Defense Forces and had no way to escape, the first thing he did was visit this senior. During this period, he also relied on his help to sell the goods. The two were already very familiar with each other.  , so Uncle Qi was not polite, pointed at Ma San and the young man, and reminded: "The real owner of Libo is here, you can handle this matter. If you still recognize me, Uncle Qi, listen to my advice! Let's  The rule in this business is to keep it with you for ten days, and now that people are here before the tenth day, don¡¯t do anything too crazy."

    "What Uncle Qi taught me is that Haohui dare not break the rules set by his ancestors."

    Seeing that Chen Haohui understood what he meant, Uncle Qi didn't want to go through this muddy water again, not to mention that Tang Butcher was involved, so he said: "Okay, I'm done with being the middleman. You can talk about the rest by yourselves."  Let's go." After saying that, he walked out.

    After Chen Haohui quickly asked two bandit soldiers to escort him, he pretended to be generous and signaled to the bandit soldiers around him to put away their guns. After having someone move a table and pour tea, he invited: "Everyone, please."

    Tang Jiyao also asked the soldiers to put away their pistols and sit down with Ma San. During this period, he also took a look at the Zi Laid pistols in Fang Rui and others' waists, and then looked at the surrounding bandit soldiers who were all wearing Japanese Golden Hook rifles, and said: "  It seems that you brothers are doing well."

    Chen Haohui and Fang Rui were confused. Could it be that Tang Jiyao had seen through their identity?  However, they were all well-trained people. Not only did they not cover up, but they opened their clothes more unscrupulously. As if to let him understand that their team was powerful, they stood on a stool and stared at the two of them, saying: "What Uncle Qi just said  You have also heard that it is a rule of the rivers and lakes to stay with someone for ten days. Since it has not been ten days yet, then this businessman has admitted his failure. In one sentence, he can take away the goods with 200,000 yuan."

    After the fall of Yaziling in Yunwu Mountain, Duyun was immediately exposed to the gunfire of the National Defense Forces. The Yunnan troops who entered Guizhou suffered heavy losses in these days, losing as many as three to four thousand people. So when Tang Jiyao heard that his opium worth nearly one million was in  Libo was robbed, and the robbers were a gang of bandits with a Xiangxi accent, so they started to recruit.  At this moment, I saw that all of these people were equipped with golden hook rifles, and the leaders were actually equipped with German-made pistols. I felt that this unit should be brought under control.  So let¡¯s not talk about opium for now. He glanced around and asked, ¡°All brothers escaped from Xiangxi, right? The equipment is good. I wonder where you were employed before?¡±

    Dahuangya was previously in Xiangxi.He was a little thief who had planned to go to Vietnam to do business after escaping to Guizhou. Unexpectedly, after being recruited by Chen Haohui, he actually became a manager and became a person of status, so he also stood by.  He didn't know Tang Jiyao. When he heard that he didn't mention the ransom but instead asked questions, he said angrily: "You guys are indeed from western Hunan. What's wrong?! Stop talking nonsense and get two hundred thousand."

    Tang Jiyao waved, and one of his men immediately brought a small box. When he opened the box, he found thirty gold bars!  As soon as they saw the gold bars, all the bandits around them began to swallow their saliva. Even Chen Haohui and others glanced at them pretending to be greedy, and laughed secretly in their hearts: "The commander is now teaming up with Minister Zhang and Lord Shen to search for gold all over the world and say it will be used as bank reserves.  If I take these gold bars back, will it be considered a meritorious service?" He withdrew his gaze, slammed the table, and said angrily: "Master Ma, what do you mean? I just want to send my brother away with a few gold bars! I saw it.  , that batch of tobacco paste shipped to Guangzhou is worth at least 180,000 yuan. The rule on the road is 30%. Now I have given Uncle Qi some face, and it only costs 20%! Have you never seen gold, brother? The most valuable among them  Fifty or sixty thousand is as high as the sky."

    Since Ma San took refuge with Tang Jiyao, he had never received such insults. He slapped the table hard: "***, don't be so shameless! This batch of goods belongs to Governor Tang. It's already polite to give you gold bars. If I were  I'll wait until I get the fucking people to suppress you before we talk about it."

    "Okay, if you have the ability, come to this 90,000-yuan mountain. I want to see who can outlast whom! If you push me hard, the worst I can do is go to Guilin and join Lu Baiyi!" Chen Haohui showed no sign of weakness, slapping the table and glaring at each other,  When the bandit soldiers around heard that the tobacco cream was worth a million, and these people took fifty or sixty thousand gold bars as redemption, they were all jealous, and there was a loud noise of gun bolts being pulled.

    Seeing that a confrontation was imminent, Tang Jiyao waved his hand to signal his men to put down their guns, and said with a smile, "What's your surname is this leader?"

    Dahuang Ya just lost his sight, and this time he quickly claimed the credit and said, "Our eldest son is called Chen Haohui. He is the third young master of the Chen family in western Hunan. He was also in charge of the Changsha Army before."

    "Really? What a coincidence. I happen to know a few officers from Hunan. I wonder who Brother Chen was in charge of before?" Tang Jiyao narrowed his eyes, as if to see through the details.  Chen Haohui had already made a false identity before he came out, which would allow him to see it, and said: "The Third Battalion of Hunan Patrol is looking at the real thing."

    The third patrol battalion?  Tang Jiyao thought for a while, and suddenly raised his eyebrows: "They must be Gan Xingdian's men." Chen Haohui nodded, pretending to be impatient and said: "It's okay not to mention the murder of the leader for many months, let's talk about the business."

    Tang Jiyao thought he had guessed the origins of Chen Haohui and others, and said, "Mr. Chen ran away when Yang Qiuye captured Changsha, right? If I guessed correctly, these guns of yours should have been brought out by the patrol camp. This kind of Japanese  Golden Hook Riflesonly the Hunan Patrol Battalion is equipped with many of them."

    "Who are you? How do you know so clearly?" After Chen Haohui winked at Fang Rui and others, he deliberately pretended to be very scared and pulled out his pistol.  When Tang Jiyao saw this, he thought they were frightened by him. He raised his head and laughed, and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Chen. I'm in the army. I happened to stay in Huguang for a while before I knew this." After saying that, he looked at it deliberately.  Looking around, he continued: "We are all people in distress who were forced to flee here by Yang Qiu. Now that Yang Qiu's army is pressing down on the border, Guizhou has no guarantee. Do you really think you can live a peaceful life on this mountain? Speaking of the complicated terrain, Xiangxi  It's not any worse than here, and it's not In my opinion, why don't you all go back with me and join forces to defeat Yang Qiu! As for these golds, just treat them as a meeting gift for all the brothers, and I will also recommend Master Chen as the head of the family.  How about Biao Tong?"

    Chen Haohui had been waiting for this sentence for a long time, but he couldn't agree so easily. He squinted his eyes and said deliberately: "Who are you? Do you think your brother is a fool? Yang Qiu's troops are strong and they are about to hit Duyun. Let's go  What¡¯s the difference between killing and cannon fodder?¡±

    Fang Rui pretended to be nervous and persuaded: "The boss can't go! Didn't you say that yourself a few days ago? Tang Jiyao was stupid and fought Yang Qiuzheng head-on. He had tens of thousands of people in his hands and he didn't know how to find a way out. If he gave up  We can still consider joint security with Yunnan, but now he is worried about Yunnan and is dragged in Duyun and dare not leave. We can't go! The ransom of 200,000 is still reliable."

    As soon as these words came out, Tang Jiyao immediately looked at Chen Haohui with admiration. Unexpectedly, this man actually knew how to assess the situation. No wonder he could pull up a team of six to seven hundred people in just a few months!  Even more eager to win over, he said: "This brother is wrong. I can guarantee that Governor Tang is already considering finding a way out for tens of thousands of brothers, and will never let everyone die in Guizhou. And I dare to swear on my life.  , as long as you can follow me back, the Governor will definitely use you! In the future, we will be indispensable for being popular and popular!"

    After Tang Jiyao finished speaking, he deliberately picked up two gold bars and struck them twice. After seeing the jingling sound stimulated the greed of the bandits, he said calmly: "Although Guizhou is barren, its treasures are alsoQuite a few, the cigarette cream alone can earn millions every year!  This is a big deal. If you brothers are willing to submitbrother, I can guarantee that, let alone such a small amount of gold, it will not be impossible even if the table is full within a year?  "

    Ma San also struck while the iron was hot: "Yes! Brother Chen, why are we fighting life and death to do business? Isn't it just for the sake of wealth? Look at me, I have made hundreds of thousands since I joined the Tang Governor. This  If he had worked for two more years what if Yang Qiu had taken Guizhou? We would have gone to Guangzhou or Vietnam to become rich men!"

    Chen Haohui deliberately hesitated for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "It's okay to recruit brothers, but I'll say something ugly first. These brothers of mine have drunk blood wine and cannot be broken up! Second, give me a thousand more troops and enough  firearms and ammunition, and thirdlyhow do you prove that what you just said counts?"

    "One thousand soldiers and enough guns and ammunition, the brothers will not disband and continue to be led by Brother Chen!This gold is also a meeting gift for the brothers. As for the proof you want?" Tang Jiyao slowly said  He stood up, unbuttoned his coat and revealed the military uniform underneath: "Tang Jiyao, I wonder if I can prove it?!"

    Chen Haohui was suddenly surprised. He didn't expect that he would dare to reveal his identity before he expressed his attitude. With such courage, it's no wonder that the commander would taboo this person and list him above Cai E!  He deliberately widened his eyes and stammered in disbelief: "Youyou are Tang Jiyao!"
