The Republic of China: A Letter of Appointment Creates the Most Powerful Warlord

Chapter 363: The same goal, let's do a great job

"warlord!?"

"A team of a thousand people!?"

“Is this called rapid advancement?!”

The three people in the room were all startled, and then they all widened their eyes and asked the questions in their hearts.

Good heavens! They originally thought they were lucky this time. Although they didn't find any serious work to do and didn't do anything earth-shattering, they met Marshal Zhang of the Independence Army and got a considerable amount of travel expenses.

Who would have thought that it was not travel expenses at all, but money to save their lives.

To gather a team of a thousand people within a month is not an opportunity at all, it is clearly letting them die.

You know, the situation in the southern part of Qin Province is extremely chaotic, with various forces emerging one after another, and there are one or two gangs of bandits who rule the mountains on every hill.

Even the villages at the foot of the mountain were not peaceful. They were occupied by small landlords and security groups from all over the place. They claimed to be defending their hometowns, but in fact they were plundering the people's wealth and oppressing the lower-class people.

Under such circumstances, asking them to form a team of a thousand people in one month is just a pipe dream.

If they had this ability, why would they go to Donglu to make a living?

"What are you panicking about?" Scarface growled. He looked at the three brothers in front of him and analyzed calmly, "This is an opportunity given by Marshal Zhang. It's a blessing we brothers can't even ask for!"

"You should know the strength of the Independence Army. They're the boss of seven provinces. Marshal Zhang has millions of soldiers and is rich enough to rival a country. He has plenty of money and guns. If we do a good job this time, it will be hard for our ancestors to live in poverty for generations to come!"

"But, but I really don't dare to get involved in fighting and killing..." Sanzhu said in a cowardly manner, squatting in the corner behind the table with an embarrassed expression on his face.

"If you don't dare, then you will continue to suffer poverty and be bullied by the landlords. You will have to watch your parents get slapped in the face and apologize with a smile!" Scarface looked coldly at his honest face, and every word he said pierced his heart: "Think about the grievances we suffered in the village, think about how those bastards bullied us. If you don't dare, your life is over. But your children will have to live like this in the future. Do you want to live like this forever?"

Sanzhu raised his head after hearing what he said, his expression dull and his eyes red, as if he was a little shaken.

"Marshal Zhang's character is well-known throughout the seven provinces. He's giving us a chance, which means he thinks highly of us. Whether we can rise to prominence and become a noble or a prime minister depends on our own fate!"

Scarface's sharp eyes swept across everyone's face, leaving the choice to them.

"It's up to you guys to decide how to do it or not. Anyway, I won't let this opportunity go. I've had enough of living in poverty, and I don't want to be a slave to others and do odd jobs for the rest of my life!"

"This... I, I did it!" The short man was the first to express his opinion. Although he had no confidence in this matter, he believed in Scarface and was also moved by his words.

Who wants to be a slave or a dog for life!

Just like Scarface said, the opportunity is already right in front of you. If you don’t even have the courage to take a chance, you can only blame yourself for being incompetent.

"I want to do it too!" The remaining bearded boy followed suit and said, "I want to be a high-ranking official, bring honor to my family, and have a bunch of concubines."

"That's right, a real man should do great things!" Scarface highly agreed with his idea.

As long as the brothers can take advantage of this opportunity, it will be difficult for them to be poor in the future.

"Then I'll do it too!" Finally, after seeing that his brothers all agreed to join, Sanzhu raised his hand with a sullen look on his face and joined in.

He is a man without his own opinions. He has lived for more than 20 years and has never had any ideas of his own. He always does whatever Scarface does.

"Okay, since we all agree, let's work together and turn the world upside down!" Scarface picked up the tea bowl in front of him, and a lot of heroic spirit brewed in his chest: "I don't want to be a big official, I'd be content to be a county magistrate and govern Fuli County."

"Hehehe, okay!" Sanzhu stood up and walked up to him, asking like a fool, "Brother, if you become the county magistrate, can I come here to eat every day?"

"When I become the county magistrate, I will give this restaurant to you and ask the chef here to cook different dishes for you every day!" Scarface patted his silly smiling face and started to make a big promise without hesitation.

"Come on, come on!" The other people were also very happy. They picked up their tea bowls and clinked them with it. The passion that had just subsided in their hearts was ignited again.

Scarface is right. People only have a few opportunities to succeed in their lives. If they miss them, they will have to work like slaves and continue to be other people's grandsons.

……

An hour later, the four brothers, having eaten and drunk their fill, leaned against the edge of the table and loosened their belts.

On the table, the two layers of dishes were all eaten up, and even several kilograms of the store's finest old wine were drunk by them.

They were so hungry after walking all the way, and now that they finally got the chance, they must replenish the oil and water in their stomachs.

"Brother, we've eaten and drunk, what should we do next?" The little man asked while picking his teeth with a fishbone.

It is not easy to form a team within a month. Either you have enough funds or you have enough reputation. Otherwise, no one will come to join you.

"Let's find a place to take a shower and change clothes later. Get yourself ready first." Scarface wiped the oil stains from the corner of his mouth, thought for a moment, and then continued, "You and Dazhuang will go around and ask where we can buy a gun."

"Without this thing, nothing can be done properly!"

"Okay, big brother!" The short man nodded, but his eyes were fixed on him, giving people the feeling that he wanted to say something but stopped.

Scarface was so frightened by his stare that he raised his hand and cursed with a smile: "If you have to fart, just fart. It makes me feel creepy."

"Hehehe!" The little guy smiled embarrassedly, scratched his head and said, "Brother, can you give us some money? Going out to gather information and so on will cost money. Dazhuang and I have less money in our pockets than in our faces. It's really..."

"Okay, okay, I get it. Just open your mouth and close your mouth and it's money!" Scarface understood his intention, reached into his arms, and prepared to take something out.

At this moment, the three brothers all came forward at the same time, their eyes seemed to be welded to his collar, full of curiosity about the Marshal's reward.

They all wanted to know how much benefit the eldest brother had gained.

"Look at what you have done!" Scarface held a toothpick in his mouth and scolded his brothers while taking out a small cloth bag from his arms and opening it in front of them.

Wow…

About a hundred dollars made a crisp sound and scattered on the table.

Scarface looked at the three brothers, hesitated for a moment, and then threw five dollars to each of them and gave them some instructions.

"Don't spend money recklessly, and don't waste it!"
