"There is a group of bandits that is special." Liu Changshun said. It was also because he was investigating information about that group of bandits that he came back two days late, which led to him mistakenly participating in the operation to fight the Japanese.
"Tell me specifically what's going on." Li Jin became interested. The one Liu Changshun would say was special should be a bandit who didn't do much harm to the people.
"That group of bandits was led by a bandit leader named Jiang Minyuan. How can I say that they have never harmed ordinary people, let alone killed them, and even helped them." Liu Changshun said.
"What's going on with helping the common people?" Li Jin became curious.
“Before, bandits crossed the border to his territory, robbed villagers, and even killed many villagers. Later, when Jiang Minyuan found out about it, he led his men directly to the mountain where the bandits were killed,
< p>Not only were the bandits eliminated, but the captured villagers were also rescued, and the bandit leader who took the lead in killing the villagers was brought to the villagers and shot directly." Liu Changshun said."Is this true?" Li Jin asked. Jiang Minyuan's style seemed to be far different from that of ordinary bandits.
If the territory of an ordinary bandit is crossed by other bandits, they should send someone to discuss it first, rather than just come up and do it. After all, bandits are very precious about their lives and will not do it for such a thing. It’s a fight to the death.
"It's true. I didn't believe it when I heard it. For this reason, I stayed for a few more days to investigate the bandits.
When the villagers mentioned the bandits, their faces changed. The gratitude comes from the bottom of my heart and is absolutely not fake." Liu Changshun thought of the expressions on those villagers' words about Jiang Minyuan. The smiles and gratitude on their faces could not be fake.
"Interesting" Li Jin touched his chin, feeling that Jiang Minyuan's group of bandits were probably not ordinary bandits.
"By the way, he also returned the food that was robbed to the villagers. However, he took a tenth of it, saying that several brothers died while they were helping to avenge them. Get paid." Liu Changshun said.
"If you take one tenth, you should definitely give it." Li Jin nodded and said, after several brothers died, it is not too much to take one tenth. If you don't take everything, you will return 90%, saying That's pretty chivalrous.
"I think so too." Liu Changshun said, if he were that group of bandits, he would have to receive 30% of the reward for not saying anything less.
"Then how do they get their money?" Li Jin asked. As a bandit, he must get money to support his brothers in the village.
“ He robbed passing merchants and collected 20% of the goods, so many merchants went to his territory and took the initiative to hand over the money. In addition, they collected protection fees from landowners, big and small.
p>
As for ordinary people, they don't bother to rob, let alone go to the village to rob, so the people in his territory are living pretty well," Liu Changshun said.
Compared with a small life, those businessmen would rather make less money. After all, going to other bandit's territory is not a matter of making less money, but a matter of life.
"How many are there?" Li Jin asked.
"About one hundred, thirty or forty people. I feel that this group of people has a bit of an army. The personnel they arranged to patrol the mountain are very vigilant.
They are all in Lishanzhai Patrols are carried out along the three or four miles into the mountain, and after entering the mountain, manned patrols are arranged every other mile. The level of vigilance is very similar to that of the army," Liu Changshun said.
The patrolling bandits he met when he entered the mountains were all in good order. When the guard was changed, the people who took over arrived on time. This was not something ordinary bandits could do.
That is to say, he is more powerful, otherwise, he might be discovered before entering the mountain.
"If they are soldiers, that can be explained. But the problem is, if they are soldiers, how could they become bandits?" Li Jin said with a frown.
As a soldier, it is a bit too much to become a bandit instead of fighting the Japanese, but the other party did not harm ordinary people, so it is still okay.
"I don't understand either. Anyway, those bandits are not simple." Liu Changshun said.
Whether that group of bandits is an army or not, they are not someone to be trifled with.
"It feels like the troops on the national army side were persecuted in some way, so they left the army and took over the mountain as king." Li Jin guessed.
"I don't know, but they are okay, so let them go." Liu Changshun said.
Since they were not bandits who harmed ordinary people, he felt that it was not impossible to let them go. As for other bandits, they should be eradicated to avoid harming the ordinary people.
Li Jin was silent for a while and said, "You are harming them by letting them go."
"Ah, company commander, you are not going to wipe them out, are you? They are not harming ordinary people." Common people." Liu Changshun said in a daze.
"I'm not talking about annihilating them, but integrating them and letting them join a new group." Li Jin said.
"Can they agree to this?" Liu Changshun hesitated. People had a very comfortable life as bandits. If they were allowed to join the Eighth Route Army and be subject to control, no one else would agree.
"They will agree. After we destroy the other bandits, there are only two ways before him, either to join the Eighth Route Army, or to wait for the Eighth Route Army to encircle and suppress you in the future.
You You know, we will go out of our way to check whether the bandits are a scourge. If it were others, if they heard there were bandits over there, they would probably just go over and kill them," Li Jin said slowly.
If he hadn't asked Liu Changshun to investigate clearly, Jiang Minyuan would have just been wiped out. Others would not send people to investigate like him.
"That's right." Liu Changshun fell silent. To be honest, if he hadn't gone out of his way to investigate, but directly told the company commander that there were bandits over there, I'm afraid the company commander would have directly led the team to kill Jiang Minyuan and the others. .
Once the special operations company is dispatched, not to mention the bandits, the Japanese will be able to pin them to the ground and hammer them. By then, Jiang Minyuan and the others may not even be able to explain.He was killed without a chance.
"I am saving them, not harming them. Even if I let them go now, then when the Japanese are driven out, the first ones to be eliminated will be the bandits.
If we are still there then, we can still save their lives, but if we are not here, who can save them?" Li Jin said.
He doesn’t even know if he will still be here by then. If he is not here and someone else comes here and knows that there are bandits here, they will probably send out troops to wipe out Jiang Minyuan and the others as soon as possible.
Jiang Minyuan and the others did not harm ordinary people, and Li Jin did not mind helping them.
"Then how do you go about it? Just try to persuade them. They probably won't agree." Liu Changshun said.
"Simple, capture them alive, let's talk." Li Jin said slowly. All members of the special operations company were dispatched to capture a group of bandits alive. It was easy.
After arresting them all, it will be easier to talk about recruiting and surrendering.
"That's okay." Liu Changshun said with a smile, grabbing them all and talking, so that they could realize the gap between them.
"Fortunately, I asked you to check, otherwise, it is possible that the wrong person was killed." Li Jin said.
If he killed the wrong person, he would feel a little guilty on his conscience. Please remember to collect it, the latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
