During the Republic of China period, the northeast region became the most undulating region, this area was once a pot of porridge, and also rose during the reign of Zhang Zuolin's father and son, and later experienced the pseudo-Manchu period, and the northeast began to be turbulent again.
Because of the lack of order, the forces of various countries are as jagged as canine teeth, the people are not happy, and pornography, gambling, and poisoning have become the mainstream business in the northeast region.
In that period of turmoil, if you want to get a glimmer of life, you can either become a soldier or a bandit, and some are even more desperate, and there are a few brothers in the family, and some soldiers and bandits can also communicate with each other.
By passing on the information of the sales points to each other, we can make some profits from the middle, after all, the days will continue.
According to historical records, the number of bandits in the Republic of China period was amazing, and there were more than 300 bandits with more than 100 people, including many bandits with hundreds of people and thousands of people.
Like a mountain eagle, Zhang Zuolin, is born of bandits, and then step by step to become bigger and stronger.
If you count a dozen or dozens of small groups, it is no exaggeration to say that almost everyone in the northeast at that time could be a bandit.
The northeast is full of bandits, and what do they live on?
As mentioned above, in the northeast during the Republic of China period, bandits were almost everywhere, so what did they rely on for such a large number of bandits? They all want to get something for free, and finally they always have to find a buyer.
The people who pay the bill are the local big households and the merchants who come and go. Bandits, officers and soldiers, poor people, and landlords have formed an ecological supply chain, and the bandits are both bandits and soldiers, and some are civilians on weekdays.
Such a crappy ecosystem is really maintained by them. Work on weekdays, wait until the time is ripe, pull up a team and smash the "kiln" of the landlord squires in the past, and eat them a wave of dividends.
Although it is said that on weekdays, the bandits on the mountain also snatched up the passing merchants, but the merchants at that time all knew the situation in the northeast region, and over time there were fewer people who came and went alone.
Even if they had to live there, they would look for the protection of the relevant departments, after all, the legitimate department charges a price, which is better than even people and goods being robbed by bandits.
This income is reduced, and the bandits can only target the local landlord squires, who have learned to be smart after being robbed by bandits several times, and they not only buy weapons, but also raise a lot of family members.
As soon as spring came, some local hunters were hired as gunners, and then equipped with weapons, small bunkers were built, and small groups of bandits came to attack hard, which did not work at all.
In addition to hiring their own gunners, several large households in the village paid for the formation of "village regiments" and hired them to patrol and protect the tranquility of a village. Although they are nominally protecting the whole village, in fact, they are mainly protecting themselves.
The kiln is divided into hard kilns and soft kilns, the so-called hard kilns are equipped with weapons, building fortifications of the landlord's home, the risk is high, the return is large, smashing into a year of eating and drinking is enough.
Therefore, if you want to do this well, you must send spies to the village in advance to step on the plate, how many people there are in the big family, how many weapons, the distribution of patrol time on weekdays, or other information, anyway, the more detailed the better.
After that, the bandits simulated the firepower distribution and personnel arrangement of the target family on the mountain based on the information collected, so as to find out the flaws.
After several simulations, the tactics and staffing are determined, and then the hard kiln will be smashed. Although after several rehearsals, if you are unlucky, you will still be beaten and suffer heavy losses. Once there are casualties, it must be taken down with a single blow, otherwise such a long period of preparation will be wasted and people will die in vain.
Even if there are people who have successfully escaped back, it is difficult to get by because of lack of clothes and clothing.
Compared to smashing the kiln, knocking on the stick is more comfortable
Smashing the kiln is risky and profitable, but if there is a trade in the kidnapping ticket, they are still willing to do some work of knocking sticks and sacks. There is only one reason, simple and efficient, small risk, high success rate.
Find out the movements of the rich man, take advantage of his lack of preparation to him for a while, and then eat and drink well, sit and wait for the money to be collected. There is also a difference between kidnapping tickets, which are divided into extortion of kidnapping tickets or buying kidnapping tickets.
Extortion of kidnapping tickets is a spontaneous act of bandits, simply on the rich people they have kidnapped in exchange for ransom. It must have been that year that Jin Rong was kidnapped, and the ransom cost 50 gold bars.
The richer the kidnapped character, the higher the ransom, the greater the risk, and the bandits are more likely to do what they can. The other is to buy a kidnapping ticket, the employer hires them to tie the ticket, and before the matter is done, the money has already arrived.
But this is equivalent to working for someone else, whether it is a ransom or other goods, and can only be done according to the employer's wishes. Although the risk is high, the profit is indeed sufficient, as long as it is a vote, you can live a rich life.
In winter, he was surrounded and suppressed, and ran down the mountain to pull a gang
The bandits are making a fierce noise, and some large families will put pressure on the local stewards, even if they spend some money, they must also go to suppress the bandits. Although the conditions of the soldiers participating in the suppression of bandits are more difficult, the conditions of bandits on the mountains are more difficult.
There is no need to do anything else, just to besiege the bandits' hills, even if they do not attack, they will be trapped on the mountain, of course, this also has to choose the strategy according to the specific situation.
Although the bandits who have stored grain do not lack food and drink in the face of the siege, they are also worried that the soldiers outside will rush in, so the bandits can only flee for their lives in the face of the liquidation, and even abandon their old nests.
In view of this situation, the bandits will begin to prepare for cat winter as soon as they arrive in winter, one is to avoid the suppression, the other is to avoid the cold, and to reward their hard work this year.
Winter for bandits, it was the happiest time of the year. As soon as it was cold, the bandit leaders gathered them together, calculated the harvest of the year, and then discussed the merits and rewards, divided the money and weapons, and then the group of people was reduced to pieces, and loved where to go.
If they have a family, they will go home, and if they don't have a home, they will run to the field and then find a family to help them. First, they need a serious identity to cover up, and second, they also need to relax themselves.
If you go to the brothel of the Qinglou all day, one accidentally gets caught, it will be miserable. Some have stayed for a long time, still have feelings, and when they want to return to the bandits' nest in the spring of the next year, they will also instruct: When it is cold, they will come back again.
postscript
After the bandits who pull the gang set up, after returning to the mountain, if they have money, they will also entrust people to send some money back, after all, people need emotional sustenance to live, and why should people be bitter and bitter.
In fact, whenever the night is quiet, they dare not think about the future, they also want to live a normal life, but when they become bandits, they can no longer decide their own life and death, maybe the next moment is death.
And whenever they think of this, they often shake their heads, and then look up to dry a bowl of wine, take advantage of the wine, and get a good night's sleep...
