Li Zhuangyong and Jing Tingbin did not know each other, but they had a good relationship with Zhao Sanduo, and were considered Zhao Sanduo's junior. Jing Tingbin was a loyal person, so he was very welcome to Li Zhuangyong leading the crowd to vote.

Although Li Zhuangyong brought a small number of teams, there were more than 100 guys with sound, most of them were advanced bolt-type continuous rifles. Although Jing Tingbin and Zhao Sanduo's troops now have more than 200 rifles, they are basically old-fashioned single-shot rifles, and many of them were front-loaded guns. In addition, Li Zhuangyong's army also had a complete cavalry organization, so Li Zhuangyong's joining did greatly strengthen the strength of Jing Tingbin and Zhao Sanduo. So Jing Tingbin also confirmed that Li Zhuangyong was a franchise and was qualified to be on par with other coalition associations, gang associations, and local gang forces.

After joining Jing Tingbin and Zhao Sanduo's alliance, Li Zhuangyong led the troops to fight bravely and take the lead. He broke several landlord manors in a row and defeated officers and soldiers twice. Because Li Zhuangyong was influenced by the People's Army, he knew that soldiers are more important than elites, and that strong troops are not more important than those of strong troops, not those of the principle of protecting themselves. There is no such self-protection style as other coalition associations, regiment associations, and local gang forces. Therefore, although he did not join for a long time, he was known for his ability to fight well and was highly valued by Jing Tingbin and Zhao Sanduo.

Moreover, Li Zhuangyong also knew very well that although he had gained a foothold in Jing Tingbin, he was an outsider after all and had no foundation in the local area. Therefore, he continued his previous style and after building the landlord's manor, he distributed the land and property to the villagers, and collected taxes, levies and recruited soldiers in the village. Now Li Zhuangyong has controlled two villages, with a population of more than 300, and his army has also expanded to 300. In Jing Tingbin and Zhao Sanduo's team, he can be regarded as a famous leader.

As soon as Chen Qi said, Li Zhuangyong knew that the People's Army was coming, which naturally triggered discussions among other franchisees. Now, the reputation of the People's Army is naturally well known. Moreover, when Li Zhuangyong came to surrender, he did not hide his origin. Everyone knew that he had worked in the People's Army.

At this time, a man stood up and said, "No matter what the People's Army is not the People's Army, you must do the business you deliver to your door. If you steal this People's Army, you will definitely get a lot of guys with loud noises. It will be of great benefit to us. In my opinion, I find a good place and have a vote for him."

This person is named Huang Weiying, who is the head of the Neiqiu County. He has more than 800 people under his command. He is considered a relatively important franchisee. His speech immediately aroused the response of several people. It turned out that although Li Zhuangyong's team was small, he was able to fight well. Everyone thought that it was because he had a large number of rifles, so they wanted to get more guns and weapons. When they heard that everyone in this army was carrying rifles, they were not only greedy, but also that Jing Tingbin had been winning consecutive battles since the uprising. The surrounding government troops had no way to deal with them, and it also aroused the pride of some people. They didn't know how much they were.

Li Zhuangyong said: "The People's Army is not comparable to ordinary officers and soldiers. They are well-trained, brave in combat, and have excellent weapons. In my opinion, it is best not to be provoked. It's okay if you don't do this business."

Huang Weiying sneered and said, "Li Zhuangyong, you are too timid. What's the awesome thing about the People's Army? We have defeated so many officers and soldiers, are we still afraid of these 12,000 People's Army? We have more than 10,000 people. Are we afraid of not being able to win if we beat him?"

Li Zhuangyong said: "I am not timid, and for our own good, I have been in the People's Army. I know their strength. Your team will not only have 10 fights, but also 20 fights, and it is not an opponent of the People's Army. Even if I have to let my team, the People's Army only need to dispatch one platoon, which is more than 40 people, which is enough."

He said that Huang Weiying's team was not an opponent with 20 people in the People's Army, but he said that his team could compete with more than 40 people in the People's Army. The implication was of course that Huang Weiying's team was not as good as his team. Although Huang Weiying was very annoyed, he did not dare to argue with Li Zhuangyong.

It turned out that many people were very dissatisfied with Li Zhuangyong's team, but they were on par with him. They all believed that Li Zhuangyong's team only relied on a large amount of rifles, because Huang Weiying had chosen Li Zhuangyong several times. But more than ten days ago, the two had a dispute over the distribution of spoils, so Li Zhuangyong challenged Huang Weiying. 50 soldiers from both sides each sent a long stick to fight and won the flag. As a result, three consecutive games were fought, and Li Zhuangyong's team won a complete victory in each game. Not only did they succeed in winning the flag, but they also defeated Huang Weiying's team in scattered and fled.

Then Li Zhuangyong asked Huang Weiying to send 100 people to the field, but he still fought with 50 people and competed two more games, but he still won, which proved that Li Zhuangyong's team did not win by relying solely on rifles. Therefore, now Li Zhuangyong is defaming Huang Weiying like this, but Huang Weiying refuted silently.

At this time, another person said, "Li Zhuangyong, you have done it in the People's Army. Is it a spy sent by the People's Army to speak for the People's Army?" This person is He Yilan, a native of Xizhao Village, with more than 500 people under him. He and Huang Weiying have always had a good relationship, but they can't stand Li Zhuangyong. Seeing that Huang Wei couldn't answer, he spoke to help Huang Yingyi speak.

Li Zhuangyong smiled and said, "Just, if I were a spy sent by the People's Army, why would I admit that I had worked in the People's Army? And not to mention anything else, the People's Army is different from the officers and soldiers. They are really an army to fight foreign devils. When I was in the People's Army, I didn't count the guns killed. There were 6 foreign devils who were killed with bayonets. These were not foreign monks or Ermaozi and Sanmaozi, all real foreign devil soldiers. Most of the guys we used were snatched from foreign devils. What about you? Kill a few foreign devils."

Being able to kill foreigners is indeed a boast of all people, let alone killing foreign soldiers. Therefore, when Li Zhuangyong said this, no one had anything to say.

Zhao Sanduo was also very dissatisfied with Huang Weiying and He Yilan. Li Zhuangyong was also considered his sponsor. Huang Yingwei and He Peilan accused him of being a spy. Didn’t he slap himself in the face? Moreover, Zhao Sanduo is also considered an old senior of the Boxer Rebellion. Huang Yingwei and He Peilan are in his eyes.

But at this moment, Jing Tingbin said: "Everyone says less. Although Brother Li has not been here for a long time, everyone can see his performance. That war was not his team rushing to the front. I definitely trust him. Whoever says that Brother Li is a spy in the future? I, Jing Tingbin, is the first to be unable to get along with him."

Jing Tingbin's prestige is always the leader of the group, so when he spoke, everyone dared not object to it. Jing Tingbin said, "As for the People's Army, we have all heard that they are indeed the army that fights foreign ghosts, and they beat foreign ghosts to the point of being beaten, but the prestige of our Chinese people has greatly increased. To be honest, Jing Tingbin admires them very much, so we must never fight against such an army, and we will not do this deal."

In fact, Jing Tingbin was also very dissatisfied with Huang Weiying and He Yilan. The two of them had many teams, but they always hid behind the scenes when fighting but did not work hard. They never fell behind when grabbing the spoils. In contrast, although Li Zhuangyong had not many teams, they were able to fight and attack, and they would always go ahead of each battle, so they naturally had to be more biased towards Li Zhuangyong.

Huang Weiying said: "The general group training, now my brothers are not fully equipped with weapons, and the food and drink cost is almost the same. We also ask the general group training to break up some, or we will fight a few more big families. I think the whole family of Qizhuang, the old suburbs of Shanbei is very rich. If his farm is broken, everyone can live a few days of relaxed life."

Jing Tingbin sneered for a while and said, "Where are you watching?"

Li Zhuangyong said: "We have more than 10,000 brothers now. Even if we defeat Qi Laoquan's farm, we will not be able to eat for a few days. Moreover, the team will expand in the future. We can't support it for a long time by relying on big players."

Huang Weiying glanced at him and said, "So what should we do according to your opinion? Are we just sitting there and eating up the whole country?"

Li Zhuangyong said: "In my opinion, if you want to do it, you will do it a little bigger. If you capture several county towns, the county has abundant supplies. If you capture a county town, you will be worth more than 10 farms."

Everyone took a breath of air conditioning after hearing this. It was not that everyone didn't want to attack the county town, but the number of people was too small, only more than 10,000 people, and there were no equipment to attack the city. No matter how bad the county town was, there were walls to guard. Generally, peasant uprisings often had to gather tens of thousands of people to attack the next county town.

Huang Weiying said: "To attack the county town? It's easy to say. We only have more than 10,000 people, why should we attack the county town?"

Li Zhuangyong said: "I said that if I can fight, I will definitely fight. As long as the head of the chief team gives an order, I will be instructed. At that time, my team can take the lead. And let the heads of the family voluntarily, if you want to go with me, if you don't want to go, stay in the village." As he said that, he turned to Jing Tingbin, looking at his attitude.

Jing Tingbin pondered for a while and said, "Okay, that's what it means. This time, Brother Li will be in charge of the attack on the county town."

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Political Commissar, no one has watched us for two days. It seems that the group of people dare not take action."

"Well, this is good. If you can do less, just do less. But you can't be careless. All security work cannot be relaxed."

"yes."

Qin Zheng nodded with satisfaction and waved his hand to let the car continue to move forward. Although this People's Army cannot be compared with the army in the old time and space, it was formed according to the modern army model. Every bit of it is indeed soaked in the hard work of Qin Zheng, Xia Bohai, Xiao Jianjun and others. Now it has achieved something.

The People's Army's escorts along the road were very tight, with cavalry guards in front, back and left and right. Therefore, someone was immediately caught by the sentries of the People's Army and the spies discovered that after leaving Zhengding Prefecture, the group of people turned west and entered Shanxi Province. They were safe and sound for three consecutive days. However, Prince Qing and others were still in the dark and were still muttering about the bandits coming from here? The local officials in Zhengding Prefecture were all talking nonsense.
