Chapter 19 A Little Trial (Part 2)
The creeper led Adong and thirty or forty people to lie on both sides of the pass at about five o'clock. This road was the only way that carriages could walk.
After only half an hour, the carriage returned from the border, but Uncle Lin was driving the car, with only two people sitting in the carriage, staggeringly.
The ivy asked Adong with her eyes.
Adong nodded and said, "It's Uncle Lin, Lin Junsheng's uncle, so the goods should be in the carriage."
"Where are the others?"
A Dong looked confused: "I don't know. When I left the village last night, I said that more than a dozen people were escorted."
"Don't worry, brothers, do it!" The ivy jumped out of the forest first.
Dozens of people in front and behind surrounded the carriage.
"Dear men, we are here to Tongdeng to sell fruits. There are some sugarcane and small books on the car..." Uncle Lin saw Adong next to the ivy. He sighed and said:
"Adong, you actually helped outsiders to make up your own village. Do you do this right? Are you worthy of the elders and fellow villagers in the village? Are you worthy of your dead parents?"
Uncle Lin, you have really listened to storytelling too much. You really treat life as a stage. How do you ask me how to answer this question? Should I lower my head in shame or curse my neck?
"Uncle Lin, don't blame me for betraying everyone. Brother Lin is sorry for our brothers first. My brother is still lying down and can't move."
"Then you should go to seek revenge on the Frenchman, why did you get into us?"
The two of them were arguing with each other, and laughed at the side of the carriage, and a voice shouted: "Brother Hu, big opium, a box of big opium."
Before the creeping ivy could answer the conversation, Adong said, "We quickly retreated to the village. It was dawn and there were many pedestrians coming and going."
The ivy nodded and roared: "Put down everything and remove it!"
At this time, Lin Junsheng had already led a large group of troops to occupy Phoenix Village.
Before the second day of the day, Lin Junsheng gathered the team and set out in the dark. After walking for more than two hours, when it was dawn, he came to the bottom of a mountain and rested in the woods.
"Hey, isn't this place Phoenix Village? What are we doing here?"
"These people are like us, but they also have more than a dozen guns. They won't let us fight."
"Brothers, you are right. This is the back mountain of Phoenix Village. If I am not wrong, there are only a dozen people who can hold swords and guns on it. We must touch it quietly, try not to fire a single shot, and control them all."
Lu Yongzhi began to make a brief mobilization before the war.
"Where are they all going?"
This is the question that an untrained team often raises. They have not yet established absolute trust in the commander. Without this trust, they lack a strong will to fight and are not determined enough when executing orders.
After fighting this battle, the first thing to do is training and rigorous training. Through training, at least they should stop asking so many questions before the war? Lu Yongzhi thought.
"Anything happened, I was transferred out. We first touched their nests, then we stumbled in the village, and waited for their large group of people to force them to surrender."
Lu Yongzhi once again explained the tactical plan.
Fenghuang Village is a village of more than a hundred families. There are no paddy fields near this village, but it is on a half-slope. The terrain conditions are better than those of Lin Junsheng and his village.
Like Lin Junsheng and others, they all make a living by robbing and kidnapping. There were more than ten guns, with fifty or sixty people.
Their boss, Crawler, is from Hunan and is also a deputy whistleman who was removed from the Green Camp. He was struggling with several Green Camp brothers occupying the Magpie's nest and Fenghuang Village, and using this as a stronghold, he formed a vague force.
Lu Yongzhi took the lead because he was a foreigner who was living here, and there would inevitably be conflicts with the locals. Taking them off can bring the locals under his command.
When Lin Junsheng led forty or fifty people to attack the mountain village from the back mountain, sure enough, in the mountain village, there were only a dozen young and strong men, some of whom had not yet got up and were not prepared at all.
They drove all the people to the ancestral hall from house to house, leaving a few people to guard them, and the rest were ambushed in the village gate. More than a dozen guns seized the commanding heights of the village gate and set up an ambush circle.
More than an hour later, the creepers came back with the team. Uncle Lin was still driving the carriage, and the other two were tied up, while Adong walked safely in the middle of the team.
When the ivy and the others entered the village, Lin Junsheng stood up from the ambush, fired a shot at the sky, and shouted:
"Iucai, I have taken your nest. Now there are more than a dozen guns aimed at you. Don't move around, as you move, you will be sieve. Stop your weapons and surrender quickly. I guarantee your personal safety."
Forty or fifty people shouted together: "Submit the weapons and surrender, abandon the weapons and surrender."
The ivy looked around and saw more than a dozen guns pointing at him, shouting: "Lao Lin, you are so fucking unrighteous, you dare to insult me?"
"You don't preach the rules for now. My people join you. You should tie him up and send him back with a gun. Not only did you not do it, but you also had the idea of my opium. Let's admit it, we can talk about cooperation."
“What cooperation?”
"Let me put down all the guns first, don't move them. The old and young men of Phoenix Village, your family is in the ancestral hall, don't force me to move."
Immediately someone threw down the weapon in his hand, and the action spread like a plague, and the swords and guns were thrown all over the floor.
"Okay, I'm a single man, I'm willing to accept the loss, I'll surrender!"
The ivy saw that there was no chance of winning at all, and handed over the rifle in her hand.
"Everyone stand there." Adong ordered with a gun.
The ivy glared at Ah Dong.
Adong asked with a smile: "Brother Hu, how is my acting? I'm pretty good at the show?"
"Ivy, don't hide this anymore."
Uncle Lin saw that the ivy was bulging in his waist, and reached out to pull out a pistol from his waist, turned his hand and handed it to Lu Yongzhi, and said:
"Mr. Lu, you can use this gun as appropriate, take your own self-defense."
Uncle Lin took the initiative to show his kindness to him and expressed his apology for confronting Lu Yongzhi before. As an elder who is one generation older than Lin Junsheng, it is already rare to do so.
"Thank you, Uncle Lin. Colt pistol, what a gun. Where did this gun come from?"
Lu Yongzhi took it over and played with it, turned around and asked the ivy.
"Stolen from the French in Annan."
The ivy crawler replied in a muffled voice. He looked Lu Yongzhi up and down again.
"You did this game, right? Lin Junsheng couldn't think of such a sinister trick."
"That's right, Brother Lin said just now. If you can't blame others, you will blame yourself for your greed."
Lin Junsheng came over and asked, "What should we do with these people?"
"We welcome those who are willing to follow us. If we don't want them to stay in the village, the forced melon is not sweet. As for them, I suggest each person pays two oceans of travel expenses to make their own way."
Lu Yongzhi pointed at the ivy and the other outsiders with his fingers.
"Didn't you just say that you can cooperate?"
"There is no way, there can only be one boss in a team. And you are not a person who has lived under a long time. We don't have to take the risk of leaving you." Lu Yongzhi shook his head and said.
The ivy thought for a while and said, "We are all desperate people, so we became bandits, and we go anywhere to make a meal. You, a scholar, are willing to assist Brother Lin, which means that he has extraordinary things. We are willing to be the main one. If we violate this vow, we will not be able to have a good end."
Lin Junsheng looked at Lu Yongzhi, and Lu Yongzhi spread his hands and said, "You are the boss, you can make a decision."
