Chapter 201
But don't underestimate these people with cold weapons, this group of people is also organized, and they all have names.
For example, "Guan Dao Tang" in Renle County, the leader of the newspaper "Xiao Yun Chang" Qin Wanying, except for a small number of members armed with guns, most of the members are holding a low-profile version of Guan Dao with a wooden pole and an iron knife .
There is also the "Red Spear Club" in Huixian County, the leader Han Si reported the number "Sai Luocheng", and his men all held a red-tasseled spear.
As well as Xishan's bandit "Zhen Sanshan" Liu Datou, Nanheshan bandit leader "Xiashanhu" Jinxiong, Miaoqian Village's "Big Sword Society", Bailin Town's "Xiangu Road" and so on.
Hong Tianwu was quite capable. He assembled these chaotic troops of various religions and ranks, and pretended to be called the so-called "Jiangbei Allied Defense Force".
Now that you have a name, everyone should be like Liangshan in the water, expelling the evil spirits of heaven and earth, one, two, three, four.
So, after a fierce quarrel that almost led to a bloody incident, everyone finally managed to arrange their seats.
Hong Tianwu, the initiator, served as the commander-in-chief of the Jiangbei United Defense Force.
"Xiao Yunchang" Qin Wanying and "Zhen Sanshan" Liu Datou served as deputy commanders.
'Sai Luocheng' Han Sitong, 'Xiashanhu' Jin Xiong, 'Dadaohui' Zhang Baiyan'er, 'Xiangudao' Grandma Li and others served as brigade commanders of the four brigades of the joint defense army.
As for the regimental and battalion commanders below, they will be divided among some less powerful leaders.
After the seats were set, everyone gathered in front of the Guandi Temple, and held a ceremony of blood pledging, beheading chicken heads, and drinking rice wine.
Kneeling on the ground one by one, clutching their [conscience], they swear to Master Guan that they will stand together in life and death, advance and retreat together, and completely wipe out Ren Anfu in Jiangdu County.
Anyone who dares to break the oath will be hit with a thunderbolt, and their children and grandchildren will be cut off!
The atmosphere has already been enhanced here, if there is no fight with Ren Anfu, it will be unreasonable.
"Bosses, we are all prominent figures in the Jiangbei area. We need people and guns."
"According to theory, our life should be good!"
"But no!"
"Some people have a much more comfortable life than ours!"
"who?"
"Ren Anfu!"
"It's not that I, Hong Tianwu, look down on him. I don't feel ashamed of a soft-bodied person who relies on women for his position!"
"But with his little ability, he can live a more nourishing and comfortable life than ours."
"why?"
Hong Tianwu first showed a puzzled expression, then raised his head again, and pressed his fingers bit by bit:
"It's because he took over Jiangdu County!"
"He let Anfu enjoy such a big piece of fat all to himself, so how could his life be uncomfortable?"
Everyone's reaction was very fierce, "Zhen Sanshan" Liu Datou scolded: "His grandma's, he eats meat, we have to drink soup so much, is there any reason for this!"
"No, what is he, Ren Anfu, he deserves to occupy Jiangdu County!" Grandma Li from Xiangu Road yelled with her mouth curled up.
Hong Tianwu immediately took up the conversation: "So, we are going to drive Ren Anfu away and snatch Jiangdu County over!"
"We also have to taste the taste of this good life, are you right?"
"Yes!" Everyone responded in unison.
"Bosses, I won't say anything superfluous. After everyone has drunk this bowl of wine, let's pick up the guy and kill him in Jiangdu County."
After saying that, Hong Tianwu and the others picked up the wine bowl together, drank the wine in the bowl, and then threw the wine bowl on the ground, with a crisp sound, the wine bowl shattered into pieces all over the place.
Hong Tianwu was in high spirits, he waved his hand and shouted vigorously: "Let's go!"
However, just as Hong Tianwu and others were about to leave, a panting man ran up to the crowd and brought a piece of unexpected news from Jiangdu County.
Ren Anfu is dead!
The Ren family militia was also wiped out!
In an instant, everyone was like a sausage that had swelled to the point of bursting, but at the last moment, they lost the bun that could wrap it.
The whole person has a feeling of being at a loss as he draws his sword and looks around.
Hong Tianwu and the others looked at each other in blank dismay, the arrogance and ambition just now seemed ridiculous.
Here they kowtowed to swear and drank strong wine, but Ren Anfu died...
Not only them, but the gang of mobs under them also looked complicated and at a loss.
After experiencing a short period of embarrassment, Hong Tianwu calmed down, first let the people of the Union Defense Army rest on the spot, and then called several key figures into the Guandi Temple.
In Guandi Temple, Hong Tianwu and others inquired about Ren Anfu's situation in detail, and the sender didn't hide anything, and told all the news he had found out.
"It is said that Ren Anfu wants to be the guardian of Jiangbei and needs to send money to his superiors. In order to raise money, he robbed Jiang Duliang's family of opium."
"In the end, the Liang family found out about this matter. In order to get revenge, the Liang family united with several local big families and fought with Ren Anfu."
"In the end, people on both sides didn't get any benefits, and the Liang family and other big families were wiped out."
"Ren Anfu was seriously injured and brought the rest of the Ren family's militia into the mountains to become bandits. Later, I heard that Ren Anfu died of illness, and the militia under him also disbanded."
After Hong Tianwu finished listening, he immediately raised a key question: "Ren Anfu is dead, and the Ren family militia has disbanded, so who is in charge of Jiangdu County now?"
The person who sent the letter replied: "It's the newly appointed magistrate of Jiangdu County, named Lin Hongfei. This person is very young, not yet thirty!"
"How many people does he have?" Hong Tianwu asked.
The sender thought for a while: "I didn't find out about this, but I heard from people in Jiangdu County that the team under the county magistrate Lin must have more than 2000 people, and they all have guns in their hands."
"Besides, I heard that there is also an iron-clad gunboat with a thick barrel. I didn't believe it when I heard it, so I went to the Jiangdu Wharf."
"As a result, there is really an ironclad ship parked!"
"hiss···"
After everyone listened, they couldn't help biting their teeth.
Regardless of the large number of Jiangbei Allied Defense Forces, there are only about [-] people with guns, which is not much different from Lin Hongfei.
As for the remaining 7000 people with knives and red-tasseled guns, they can bully unarmed ordinary people, which is not counted at all.
If there is a fight, the Jiangbei United Defense Force may not be able to take advantage of it!
For a moment, the anger in everyone's hearts was vented, and everyone looked a little discouraged with their brows drooping.
But Hong Tianwu, the initiator, was frowning and thinking about something, walking back and forth in Guandi Temple with his hands behind his back, stopping from time to time, closing his eyes and thinking carefully.
Everyone looked at him puzzled, and Liu Datou also said: "Old Hong, don't wander around, I feel dizzy just looking at it."
"Yes, what to do next, you have an idea!" Han Sitong also shouted.
"It's a pity that we've made it this far, so we just gave up like this!" Grandma Li also showed embarrassment.
Qin Wanying spread his hands: "Otherwise, let's really fight Lin Hongfei, and if we don't get the advantage, we will take us in."
Just when everyone was bored, Hong Tianwu suddenly stopped, clapped his hands and said: "Yes!"
