Chapter 20 Flood Rumors, Gun Factory

"Have you heard what Master Zhou said clearly?" Zhao Zhuzi called out with a slutty voice: "If you hear it clearly, go home and arrange it immediately. We will meet at the ferry at noon and take a boat to the city. Everyone knows Mr. Zhou's character, and you will definitely not suffer any loss after following him."

Zhou Laishan pretended to be generous and patted his chest, saying, "I still have some savings. I am willing to follow my brothers. Each of them will pay two oceans of settlement fees. If I don't want to follow me, I will not force them. When we meet in the future, we will be good friends and good brothers."

The old lady Yang could try her best to be wary of her, and Zong Baichuan and others regarded him as a thorn in her eyes. Zhou Laishan was not a fame, and he did have some ways to win over and develop his confidants. Now that he was going to the city, he naturally didn't want to be single and weak. He wanted to gain a place in the detective team, but he didn't want to be just a small listener.

For Yang Tianfeng, who is in the upper hand, many things do not need to be done by himself. With the help of Zong Baichuan and the elderly from the Yang family, he only needs to make a plan.

Old Lady Yang seemed to have really let go and let Yang Tianfeng give orders as the head of the family. She didn't even care about Yang Tianfeng's rebellion against Japan, as if she didn't know anything about it. But Yang Tianfeng knew that such a big thing could not be hidden from the old lady, and Zong Baichuan would definitely report it to her, and that he could not escape.

Yang Tianfeng didn't want to spend his brains to guess the old lady's thoughts, nor did he want to spend time exploring the old lady's thoughts. Because he only believed that one thing was that the mother's care and love for the child was the most sincere and the most trustworthy feeling in the world. When the child was in danger, the mother would stand up without hesitation, even if she sacrificed herself.

The plan went very quickly. As the grain in Yangjiayuanzi's granary was loaded and transported to Wohugang several miles away, a specious rumor began to spread in Yangjiayuanzi. The young master of the Yang family had a dream that the flood came from the west, and the surging was unstoppable, flooding the entire radius of hundreds of miles.

For this reason, Mrs. Yang was uneasy and specially invited Zhang Shenxian from Baimatan to predict good and bad luck. After Zhang Shenxian calculated, she determined that this was an alien dragon invading the realm and fighting with the local river god. It was also a warning sign of disaster caused by the dream of the young master of the Yang family, a loyal man. She had to set up an altar to worship the river god, which might prevent the tragedy of life from being miserable.

Although there is no newspaper broadcast, the speed of rumors spreading is still surprising. At least Yang Tianfeng thought it was magical.

In fact, according to the formula "the intensity of rumors = the importance of events × the uncertainty of events", it is not difficult to understand that when critical moments such as natural disasters or social **** come, people are often more anxious. At this time, unexpected things will continue to happen, and rumors will spread verbally, and then distort the original facts.

"Isn't that a joke when fighting? It's not earth-shaking, and the waves are surging?"

"I haven't seen "Water Floating Kings Mountain", there are shrimps, soldiers and crabs everywhere, the water is deeper than a foot, and the river is covered with oceans, and people and animals cannot escape."

"Hehe, the gods and immortals are fighting, and we mortals cannot see it. But the expenses for worshiping the river gods are spread to our common people."

"This is the old rule. Whoever arranges the bill can pay. I heard that the young master of the Yang family has bought two little girls who look exactly the same, which is prepared for the River God."

"This is a messy war, why are you trying to sacrifice to the gods? Will you let the people live?"

"Hehe, who has ever been in charge of the lives of ordinary people over the years? But to be honest, the Yang family is transporting their things to Wohugang and digging trenches outside the garden to build a ditches. Maybe there is a flood?"

"If there is a flood, it will be terrible. As the crops in the fields have not been collected and washed away by water, let alone the rent cannot be paid this year, even the family's chewing grain will be ruined!"

"Looking at this water love, this day, it's not like this! Maybe it's just to scare us."

"It's too early to say anything now, it's up to you to see how the Yang family is doing?"

…………

There is a sandy hill at seven or eight miles northeast corner of Yangjiayuanzi. This hill is very unique in shape, from east to west, with a big head, thick waist, long tail. From a distance, it looks like a tiger lying with its head raised. This is the famous Crouching Tiger Hill among the Eighteen Gate.

Wohu Hill is full of tall poplar trees, and under the shade of green trees, there are hundreds of families living, most of which are tenants of the Yang family, and only a few families have some land.

This is the location of the Yang family's old house. Since the Yang family became prosperous, they have built a large-scale construction in the town and built a new house, and the old house has been empty. Although the old house is empty, the guards on the post have not been neglected. Because here, there is a gun repair factory in the Yang family.

Being Tingfang in Nanyang also started out as a militia, but his popularity was far superior to the Yang family. The Being family had more than 20,000 guns and his official position was the commander of the militia of Wan, and his strongest power.

The reason why Bie Tingfang was able to become a big shot was that he had a gun factory in the back village. At the peak of the gun factory, there were more than 400 workers and had 38 machines of various types, including four large lathes over one meter. They were powered by a German-made 15-horsepower diesel engine, and could mass-produce rifles, eye-catching portable machine guns, heavy machine guns, 150mm cannons, 82 mortars, etc.

According to statistics, from the establishment of 1929 to 1940, a total of 20,000 rifles, 1,500 jacquard machine guns, 5,000 light machine guns, 200 heavy machine guns, four 150 mm cannons, 156 82 mortars, more than 100,000 shells, and a small number of pistols.

The Yang family in Woyang, which is Yang Tianfeng's father, was ambitious to do something big at the level of Beetingfang at the suggestion of Zong Baichuan. The Yang family gun factory was a capital. Although it started late (it only started production in 1932), it was not as large as the Houzhai gun factory and the output was high. However, among the militia groups at that time, there were indeed not many people who had such a vision and were willing to make such a large investment.

The gun factory has more than ten machines and two steam engines. It can repair guns and build bullet grenades. At its peak, it even made twenty-five-eye portable machine guns and Type 82 mortars.
