Chapter 205 Returning to the old business
"Pull him down!"
Yuan Shuai refused directly.
"You followed me, and I brought you so many spoils of war, and I led you to win so many victories, and you still don't think it's enough. Now that you see I want to build a breeding base, you want to follow me so that you can share the property with me when I leave in the future. Do you think I'm a fool?"
"I……"
Zhang Wei's eyes were blazing with anger.
The Hunan Army was fearless and powerful, so many troops were vying to recruit them. However, Yuan Shuai refused without even a second thought.
Is this guy crazy?
Zhang Wei really hadn't thought about dividing the "family property" with Yuan Shuai.
The reason why he wanted to follow Yuan Shuai temporarily was because he really couldn't find a large army. He had to find a reliable team to cooperate with so that his troops would not be eaten by the Japanese.
He could only suppress the anger in his heart and explained.
"Yuan Shuai, don't judge others by your own standards. I, Zhang, have never thought of dividing my family property with you!"
"You said so. Don't fight me for the spoils of war you captured after defeating the Japanese. And don't even think about getting a piece of my breeding base!"
"Okay, okay, I don't want anything, but you have to give me something to eat!"
"no problem!"
Yuan Shuai then laughed happily...
Early the next morning, Hu Dacai took all the hunters out to collect the traps.
What they didn't expect was that almost 80% of the sets caught wild animals.
There are bamboo chickens, pheasants, rabbits, etc.
Last night they had over a hundred hunters out, and each hunter set twenty snares.
Adding up, that’s more than 200 sets, 80 percent, that’s more than 160 wild animals.
When they went, they all brought their own bamboo cages.
When we came back, there were many bamboo cages filled with pheasants and rabbits.
Looking at these lively little creatures, everyone was so happy that they wanted to kill them all and cook and eat them.
But when they heard that these things were to be taken to Qingyun Village, everyone could only swallow their saliva helplessly.
Along the way, Hu Dacai led the guard squad and the guard company to wander around, looking for traces of wild animals so that they could catch them later. At the same time, they were also trying to understand the surrounding terrain.
Time passed slowly, and in a blink of an eye it was one o'clock in the afternoon.
A group of people came to Qingyun Village.
Qingyun Village is very wide, and the area within a radius of ten kilometers is all Qingyun Village’s territory.
However, because this place used to be a bandit stronghold, no one dared to cultivate the surrounding fields, so they were all abandoned.
The houses on the top of the mountain were also burned down.
Yuan Shuai could only ask the team to quickly cut down trees to build houses and at the same time build a breeding factory.
Rabbits and bamboo chickens are relatively easy to raise, but pheasants are fierce and difficult to raise. Moreover, without wire mesh or nylon mesh, pheasants cannot be raised. He had no choice but to give up and let the people kill the chickens for cooking.
These people were already homeless, but now, someone has helped build houses for them, allowed them to raise animals, and also said that they will be able to farm the surrounding areas in the future.
The people were so moved that they shed tears and were willing to work for the Black Wolf Army.
In this way, the Black Wolf Army even saved the trouble of having cooks.
However, Yuan Shuai was not idle. He immediately asked Old Gao's son Gao Zhengshan to take him around and started drawing a map of the surrounding terrain.
Also arrange hunters to go out and continue setting traps.
After all, with so many people, they can't live on the Japanese canned food. They still have to buy food from the district.
The next day, Yuan Shuai handed the map matter over to Lu Hua and Jiang Zhengwu, and took Fatty Monkey and the guards with him, and rode mules and horses carrying some wild animals to the county town, hoping to sell some game, exchange it for some dollars, and buy some food.
"Boss, how much can this little bit of wild food sell for?"
"We, the Black Wolf Army, the Hunan Army, and the common people, total more than 650 people. Even if each person only eats half a pound of rice a day, we will consume pounds of rice a day. For days a month, that's pounds of rice."
"In my opinion, it would be better to sell some of the arms. They are valuable!"
"We have a lot of extra ammunition anyway, so we might as well just leave it there!"
On the way, Fatty Monkey and others started shouting.
"A bunch of losers!"
Yuan Shuai rolled his eyes at them in annoyance.
"We need ammunition to fight. Without ammunition, will we just spit with fire sticks? Even though we have extra guns and ammunition now, if the team develops, will this amount of ammunition be enough? Besides, many people in the team need intensive training, and if they continue to train, they will need to be fed with bullets. If they have too many bullets, the guns will not be useful! Don't you understand this!"
"Where are we going to get so much money to buy food?"
"Nonsense, we are bandits. Do bandits need money to buy food?"
"Ah! Are we going to do our old business again?"
Hu Dacai had a complicated look in his eyes and didn't know what to say.
Originally they were bandits, but in order to fight the Japanese, they were no longer bandits but heroes.
But a penny can make a hero fall!
Without money, even if they are heroes, they cannot survive. Without food, they cannot train, let alone fight the Japanese.
But Fairy, their boss actually wants them to go back to their old jobs!
He is unwilling to give in!
Yuan Shuai saw through his thoughts and comforted him.
"Don't worry, I'm just like you, robbing the rich to help the poor! Do you really think I'm going to go back to my old ways? I'm just trying to train and develop my team. When I'm strong enough, I'll lead you to kill more devils! Dacai, take your people to sneak into the county town to scout out the area first!"
"Well, isn't this just a job? Brothers, follow me!"
Hu Dacai was helpless and could only lead his men to speed up and run forward.
Leave the original fat man and the monkey behind.
At this time, they had all changed into ordinary people's clothes.
Moreover, none of the twelve people in their squad carried rifles. They just hid their pistols, grenades and bayonets in the firewood.
These guys used to be bandits, and it was common for them to sneak into the county town with guns.
Soon, Hu Dacai and his men sneaked into the county town, took the gun out of the firewood, and found a buyer to sell the firewood at a low price.
After that, I started to scout out places in the county town.
To scout the area, of course, we would look for those wealthy landlords and tycoons.
After all, they are robbing the rich to help the poor, and only these places have money that is enough for their expenses.
That day, they did not forget the granary.
However, Yuan Shuai did not have a smooth journey into the city.
There were six cages full of pheasants on the backs of three mules and horses. When the company commander of the National Army guarding the city saw them, he immediately ordered his men to stop Yuan Shuai and his two companions.
"Our company commander likes this thing, come with us!"
"Sir, we haven't discussed the price yet, at least give us a number!"
The monkey looked at the platoon leader with a smile.
If it weren't for the money, he would have rushed up and beat the platoon leader to a pulp.
"Nonsense! Would our company commander give you less money? If you keep talking nonsense, be careful or I will arrest you as spies!"
The Kuomintang platoon leader glanced and several of his men immediately raised their rifles.
