Survival wisdom of the Beiyang Era (168): Pig nose with scallions.
In the chaotic world of the Beiyang in which warlords are fighting, and the time when the city head changes the banner of the king, although the boundary between black and white is not obvious, it still follows the ancient law that well water does not violate the river water. If you do more than you do to lick the blood, you will naturally covet a stable day, and then you will find another way or even take risks at all costs. Just as Cao Kun was elected as the new helmsman of Beiyang with the rising power of the warlords of his direct lineage, the chicken and dog thieves who opened the way for money behind them were ridiculous, and tossed out a chicken feather above the Beiyang Temple. However, there are still people tossing and turning in the distance of the rivers and lakes, and it is a carjacking case in Lincheng that shocked China and foreign countries, and the initiator was Sun Meiyao, a big bandit leader who was in Shandong at that time. In the late spring of that year, hundreds of bandits fought with open flames and hijacked the meat tickets of a train on the Gyeongpo Line in the night, including more than 20 foreigners, and Sun Meiyao, who had been living a life of licking blood with a knife edge, wanted to live a peaceful life, so he planned this big deal.
After that, Sun Meiyao's own wishful thinking was to use the foreigners as a chip to force the Beiyang Center to express its position and recruit it, although he had a powerful bandit under his command, and occupied such a dangerous place as the Cow Valley, where the cultivating cattle could only be fed on the mountain in their infancy, and the adult cultivating cattle could not go up the mountain, such a terrain even the regular Beiyang Army with superior troops was helpless, not to mention that Sun Meiyao still had thousands of people and horses under his command, confident that he had more than two hundred meat tickets in his hands, and there were more than twenty foreigners as a shield. In the bargaining with the Beiyang Temple, Sun Meiyao asked for a price, and he proposed a special ransom that many bandits at that time only dared to be delusional, but did not dare to act arbitrarily, that is, to recruit the bandits under his command as the regular army of the Beiyang warlords, which made the Beiyang center under Cao Kun very embarrassed, and had to move out of the Qinggang bigwig who was also a figure on the road to mediate, after all, the foreigners were kidnapped, and Cao Kun could imagine the pressure of the great powers.
However, the appearance of this green gang big man is indeed remarkable, this person is the golden Rong who was unmatched on the beach in the early years, not only personally went to the hugging calf to dredge, but also carried a joint letter of many underworld gangsters, because Sun Meiyao is eating the bowl of rice in the underworld, smuggling and selling drugs, etc. Naturally, it depends on the face of your peers to appreciate rice and eat, and the jianghu gang will be the enemy, that is, the way to survive. Then the negotiations gradually entered a good situation, and Sun Meiyao, who was no longer asking for a price, finally accepted to be reorganized into a brigade and assigned to the Shandong overseer Tanaka Yu, in order to show sincerity, Tanaka Yu also sent two thousand pieces of military uniforms and grain and grass first, and then Sun Meiyao also released the last batch of foreigners, leading the people down the mountain to accept the reorganization, a catastrophe that collapsed in the sky, and then it seemed to be resolved.
In the end, Sun Meiyao's brigade commander did not sit still for long, and he was booby-trapped and killed by a banquet in the winter of that year, and his gang of jianghu brothers also ran away on their own, and the glory that should not belong to him also disappeared. Under the chaos of the Beiyang warlord melee, the boundary between the warlord and the bandit seems to be not very clear, but it is very dangerous to step on the line, the bet is his own life, if he is not careful, he will lose, when Sun Meiyao forgets his bandit role, he wants to rely on a big deal to get a special ransom that does not belong to him, which is itself a gamble, even if he can get this special ransom through the means of kidnapping, he can't bear it, and the result is to lose his old money.
