Bright Sword: I have a system for exchanging points for killing enemies

Chapter 329: Xie Baoqing's Conflict
(Discussion between Xie Baoqing and Shanmaozi)
"Boss, Second Boss, as long as you are willing to accept our Military Control Commission's incorporation, then the Eighth Route Army will have no reason to attack you. As for whether or not you want to accept our Military Control Commission's incorporation, I hope you will consider it carefully.

I will also report the boss's request truthfully to my superiors.

The boss and the second in command, the mountains and rivers remain green and the waters flow forever.

Farewell! "

By the end, Captain Ma's threat was evident in his words.

It was clearly telling Xie Baoqing and Shanmaozi of Heiyun Village that if they did not surrender to the Military Control Commission, they would be surrounded and suppressed by the Eighth Route Army.

After Captain Ma finished speaking to Xie Baoqing and Shanmaozi, he bowed and said goodbye, then left the lobby without looking back.

When Xie Baoqing and Shanmaozi saw Captain Ma turn around and leave, they didn't say anything and just let Captain Ma leave.

After seeing Captain Ma and his guards leave the lobby, Xie Baoqing looked at Shanmaozi.

"Second brother, the Military Control Commission wants to recruit us. Do you think this is appropriate?"

What was surprising was that after Captain Ma left, Xie Baoqing stopped stuttering.

In other words, Xie Baoqing was not a stutterer to begin with, and the reason he pretended to be a stutterer in front of outsiders was just to make others look down on him.

Xie Baoqing was born into a poor family. Although he had never been to school and did not know any big principles, he did not understand what it meant to show weakness to the enemy.

However, after years of hanging around in bandit dens, Xie Baoqing developed his own way of survival.

That means hiding it!

He hid himself so that outsiders would think he was just a stutterer, a stutterer with no real ability.

If outsiders saw him so weak during the battle, there was a great possibility that they would underestimate the enemy and treat Xie Baoqing as a guy with no ability.

To put it simply, Xie Baoqing's pretending to be weak can easily make others think he is a pig.

But what no one could have imagined was that beneath the surface of this pig, there was actually a ferocious, hungry wolf!

Shanmaozi listened to Xie Baoqing's question, thought for a while and then spoke.

"Boss, the Military Control Commission wants to recruit us... I think we can discuss this matter... If the benefits offered by the Military Control Commission are sufficient, we can obey their recruitment.

I don't know about other places, but in this area of ​​Shanxi, it is obvious that the Eighth Route Army has surpassed the Japanese and become the boss.

The Japanese can only rank second.

The Eighth Route Army took over the entire Shangdang area, and then the Japanese sent three brigades to try to retake the Shangdang area.

As a result, not only did they fail to recapture the Shangdang area, but one brigade was completely annihilated and another was crippled by the Eighth Route Army.

The newspapers said that the reason the Japanese suffered such heavy losses was largely because of the help of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.

But this is just to fool outsiders. We are nearby and everyone knows what is going on.

In the battle of Shangdang, it was the Eighth Route Army that made the greatest efforts, while the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army only dispatched the 358th Regiment to help, and it was still a battle of reinforcements.

If the Eighth Route Army troops had not arrived in time, the 358th Regiment would have almost been surrounded by a brigade of the Japanese devils.

The last time the Eighth Route Army captured Fu'an County, I asked someone to find out more about the regulations of the Eighth Route Army.

It is true that the Eighth Route Army’s military regulations are very strict.

Boss, if we put other things aside, the Eighth Route Army is indeed a very good army, similar to Yue Family Army.

If the Eighth Route Army had come here ten years ago, I would have absolutely advised you to join it without hesitation.

Boss, you come from a poor family, and I was born in a bandit group. Even my father doesn’t know who I am.

The Eighth Route Army is composed of peasants, so it is quite appropriate for us to join the Eighth Route Army.

Although the Eighth Route Army has strict military regulations, isn't it their duty not to harm civilians and to help the common people?
So if we had joined the Eighth Route Army at that time, with our abilities, we might have been able to become a cadre in the army.

After the Eighth Route Army takes over this world, we can also be considered to have brought honor to our family.

But unfortunately, it’s not ten years ago now, let alone anything else.

I couldn't stand the three rules that the Eighth Route Army was not allowed to smoke opium, play with women, or drink prostitutes.

Even I, a mountain cat, can't stand those regulations, let alone the guys under me.

And the massacre of our Black Cloud Village a few years ago, although it was revenge for you, the boss, it was still a massacre, and there was not a single survivor in the whole village, young or old, male or female...

That village is not a small one. Many people have married out, and many people live in other places.

The information I got was that many people have joined the Eighth Route Army, and they will definitely not let us go.

Moreover, the Eighth Route Army is no longer what it used to be. Even if we had joined the Eighth Route Army a year ago, the Eighth Route Army would not have made things difficult for us because we had so many people and so many guns in Heiyun Village.

In their words, rather than holding us responsible, it would be more appropriate for us to fight the Japanese first.

But now, the Eighth Route Army is strong and powerful, and it controls a large area such as Shangdang and has a population of millions. It has no shortage of soldiers or guns.

Didn't Master say this before he left? Our joining the Eighth Route Army was like helping someone in need, but now, it's better to add icing on the cake.

The Eighth Route Army would not take our hundreds of people and hundreds of guns seriously at all, especially since we are bandits, a group of robbing and looting bandits.

Instead of taking the trouble to recruit us, it would be better to directly recruit young and strong people and train them ourselves.

Boss, there are actually only two options left for our Black Cloud Village.

One way is to abandon Heiyun Village and take all the brothers away from Ping'an County to develop in other places, away from Shanxi.

As long as some of us have guns, we can open up the situation in other places.

Although the Eighth Route Army is now strong in men and horses, it will take at least seven or eight years for the Eighth Route Army to take over the world.

Such a long time is enough for us to develop power in other places... and there are so many wars in between, and all those who know what we do will die.

Then we will be able to accept the incorporation of the Eighth Route Army in other places.

I think the suggestion put forward by the military is good. We can go north through the pass... fight among the white mountains and black waters, go outside the pass!
Another way is to join the Guo Party.

We will try to get the name of the Guo Party, so that we will be the Guo Party’s troops, after the Eighth Route Army takes over Ping’an County.

Then there is no reason to settle accounts with us.

However, if the Japanese are eliminated, the Eighth Route Army and the Kuomintang will definitely fight for the world again. We are right at the gate of the Eighth Route Army. When the two sides start fighting, we may be the first to be hit.

Besides, we don’t have any backing in the Guo Party. Our only backing is that damn Military Control Commission.

Military Control Commission and Embroidered Uniform Guard sound nice, but from ancient times to the present, whether it is the Military Control Commission, Embroidered Uniform Guard, or the West Factory or the East Factory, how many of them had a good ending?

If the leader of the Military Control Commission dies, the entire Military Control Commission will definitely fall apart.

The Military Control Commission that Captain Ma mentioned is similar to the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

But what does the Jinyiwei do? So many storytellers have said so much, and I believe you, the boss, also understand.

It is like a knife in the emperor's hand, and it is extremely sharp when he wants.

Once the emperor no longer likes the knife, others will immediately smash it into pieces.

Moreover, the head of the Military Control Commission knew so much about the old emperor. Would the emperor let that head have a good ending? No head had a good ending.

Can we, the little minions, have a good ending?
Therefore, surrendering to the Military Control Commission and accepting its incorporation can only help us avoid the Eighth Route Army's liquidation, but it can only help us avoid it temporarily and is not a long-term solution. "

Although the mountain cat looks big and strong and has little education, it actually has a very good brain, or should be said to be very flexible, and it can clearly judge the situation.

Although if Shanmaozi analyzes it from other perspectives, joining the Eighth Route Army is indeed the best choice.

It is also a good choice for Heiyun Village.

But what Shanmaozi was most unwilling to do was to join the Eighth Route Army.

In other words, he was absolutely unwilling to join the Eighth Route Army at this time.

Shanmaozi knew best what he had done. He knew that if he defected to the Eighth Route Army at this time, he would have no chance of survival and would surely die.

That's why Shanmaozi suggested to Xie Baoqing that he should leave Ping'an County and go to other places to work hard.

Or he could accept the incorporation of the Military Control Commission and decide what to do next based on the situation.

Xie Baoqing listened to what Shanmaozi said, thought for a moment, and spoke to Shanmaozi.

“Go to other places to fight… The brothers in the village are basically people from nearby. If we ask them to go with us, I don’t know how many people are willing to leave together.

Even if you and I decide to leave Ping'an County and go to other places, if our brothers are unwilling, then without people and guns, it will be difficult for us to achieve anything if we go to other places.

I am getting older, and in the blink of an eye I am forty years old.

The first way is not suitable... If the Eighth Route Army had come earlier, perhaps I would have joined them... But now is really not a good time.

"Just join the Military Control Commission... accept the Military Control Commission's recruitment first, and we'll talk about the future later. Let's see how things develop first."

Xie Baoqing did not quite agree with Shanmaozi's suggestion to leave Ping'an County and take his brothers to other places.

On the one hand, he had worked so hard to build up the Black Cloud Village, and he was reluctant to give it up.

On the other hand, as Xie Baoqing said, except for some defeated soldiers who came from other places, most of the bandits in Heiyun Village were from Ping'an, Fu'an and other places.

It is very difficult to get them to leave with you.

Besides, Xie Baoqing is getting older now, and he is no longer as brave and combative as before, and he is no longer willing to risk his life to fight forward.

Xie Baoqing can still fight, but how many more years can he fight?

Go to other places and compete with bandits from other places for territory. If it goes well, it's fine. If not, then what should they do?
They are bandits, not regular troops. If they fail, their morale will drop instantly.

Xie Baoqing didn't want to work hard for most of his life only to die in a foreign place.

"Second brother, do you want to contact the Eighth Route Army? Ask the Eighth Route Army. If, if the Eighth Route Army is willing to accept us and not hold us accountable for our past mistakes, then we will join them.

We did not put forward any conditions. We only hoped that the Eighth Route Army could forgive everything that happened to Heiyun Village in the past, accept us, and treat us equally.

As long as the Eighth Route Army can agree to this condition, then all of our brothers in Heiyun Village are willing to obey the orders of the Eighth Route Army and follow them to fight the Japanese devils."

Xie Baoqing thought about it and was still unwilling to give up the idea of ​​joining the Eighth Route Army, so he asked Shanmaozi.

Listening to Xie Baoqing's words, Shanmaozi shook his head.

"Boss, it's impossible... You are willing to give up everything you have now and join the Eighth Route Army, even if the Eighth Route Army is willing to accept our Black Cloud Village.

But the brothers would not agree.

First of all, I don't want to.

Now I am the second in command of Heiyun Village. I can smoke opium when I want, play with women when I want, and drink wine when I want.

If I were asked to join the Eighth Route Army, I would be subject to such strict military regulations and would not be paid. I might not even have money to drink in the future. I would definitely not want to join the Eighth Route Army.

I am like this, so the brothers below me will definitely not want to join the Eighth Route Army.

By then, our brothers will become disunited and chaos will arise within the Eighth Route Army, which will be even more difficult for us.

And who can guarantee that the Eighth Route Army will not settle accounts with us later? We are just a bunch of bandits, and the Eighth Route Army does not need to teach us any rules of Jianghu morality or the like.

From ancient times to the present, how many bandits who accepted the imperial court's amnesty had a good ending? There were so many heroes in Liangshan Marsh, but what happened to them?

Moreover, the brothers have been bandits for so many years, and they are willing to be bandits just for the sake of money.

The Eighth Route Army couldn’t give us anything, and the brothers were even more unwilling.

How could those who wanted to join the Eighth Route Army continue to stay in our Heiyun Village? The Eighth Route Army was in Fu'an County. If they wanted to join the Eighth Route Army, they would have gone there long ago.

Besides, there are Tubalu here in Ping'an County. If you want to join the Eighth Route Army, you can join Tubalu first."

Seeing that Shanmaozi was extremely opposed to joining the Eighth Route Army now, Xie Baoqing leaned back in his chair, thought for a moment, and continued speaking unwillingly.

"I remember someone said last time that there is a unit called the Vanguard Regiment in the Eighth Route Army. The treatment in that unit is very good. Why not see if you can join the Vanguard Regiment? If you can be recruited by the Vanguard Regiment, I believe the brothers will also have a good life.

The Independent Regiment and the New First Regiment are also acceptable.”

"Boss, the Vanguard Regiment, the Independent Regiment, and the New First Regiment are the direct troops of the Eighth Route Army. How could they possibly recruit a bunch of bandits like us?
Those three regiments are the elite of the Eighth Route Army. No one knows how many people in other units of the Eighth Route Army want to join the elite forces.

How could they possibly want a bunch of bandits like us?"

"Ugh……"
