The Juyi Hall, which was filled with laughter just now, instantly fell silent because of Meng Shaoyuan's words.

Hang Sanniang is from a bandit family.

Her father, Hang Baye, was the bandit leader of Baoshan Village, so he gave birth to a daughter like her.

When she was fifteen years old, her father selected one of his men from among the bandits and married her.

Hang Baye died in the bandit fire, and Hang Sanniang's men took over Baoshan Village.

As a result, her man also died in a firefight with bandits.

Hang Sanniang relied on her skills to defeat several bandit leaders in Baoshan Village and assumed the position of leader.

After all these years, who would dare to say such a thing to her?

Otherwise, with her beauty, why would no one dare to covet her in a gangster den with so many men?

"A frivolous person."

Hang Sanniang sneered:

"Come here, cut out his tongue!"

"yes!"

The female gangster behind her pulled out a sharp knife and was about to step forward.

"Etc., etc."

Meng Shaoyuan quickly shouted: "Hey, you caught me, you must have something to ask, you cut my tongue, how can I answer you!"

Hang Sanniang stretched out her hand and stopped her men: "Okay, leave your tongue for now. From now on, whatever I ask you, whatever you answer, if you tell a lie, I will feed your tongue to the dog!"

"Not answering!"

Unexpectedly, Meng Shaoyuan said so forcefully.

Hang Sanniang was startled, and then said angrily: "Say it again!"

Meng Shaoyuan was not afraid: "Why are you sitting and me standing, and still being tied up? I am a special commissioner after all, I have to save face, right? Cut my tongue, and I won't say anything!"

When has Hang Sanniang seen such a person?

The anger was gone at that time, but on the contrary, I was a little bit dumbfounded.

After receiving the information, she originally thought that since he was a special correspondent, he must be a bad old man.

Unexpectedly, he turned out to be a young man.

You could say he was tough. When he was arrested, he didn't resist and just surrendered with a raised hand.

Call him a softie, but he doesn't look like this.

Anyway, this is his home base, so he can’t shake things up: “Untie them and bring them a chair.”

Her female subordinates reluctantly let Meng Shaoyuan and the others loose their bonds.

Another bandit brought a small bamboo chair and placed it heavily in front of Meng Shaoyuan.

Meng Shaoyuan didn't care and sat down. He probably felt that he was far away from Hang Sanniang, so he moved the chair a few steps forward.

Hang Sanniang then said: "Okay, can you say it now?"

"There is a reason why this woman cannot command the army." Meng Shaoyuan cleared his throat and said: "Think about it, the army is full of big men, and it is very inconvenient for a woman to be an officer.

I won’t say anything about taking a bath next to it, I’ll just say the same thing. With your appearance as the boss, during the war, do you think these old men should look at the enemy or the face of your boss?"

Those male bandits all wanted to laugh, but they didn't dare.

In my heart, I felt that this special correspondent was indeed a fellow-minded person.

Hang Sanniang hadn't recovered yet, but her two female attendants were so angry that one of them pulled out a gun and shot Meng Shaoyuan on the ground at his feet.

"boom"!

The ground was beaten until dirt was flying.

What was even more unexpected was that Meng Shaoyuan sat there motionless, as if nothing had happened.

Not to mention Hang Sanniang, all the bandits around her admired her courage.

Meng Shaoyuan said unhurriedly: "If what was just said was a joke, then what follows is the truth. Women can be soldiers, but don't go to the front line. I am not looking down on women, on the contrary, I want to protect them.

This brother of mine and I have fought with the Japanese and fought with bayonets, so I know what’s going on!”

He pointed at Li Zhifeng and continued: "Think about it for yourselves, what will happen to a woman once she falls into the hands of the enemy?

You, the boss, respond to all calls in Baoshan Village and are majestic, but when you are on the front line, you are nothing."

I thought Hang Sanniang would be furious, but unexpectedly, she became silent.

After a while, she said: "You have fought with the Japanese with bayonets? Then you are also a hero. Come here, bring two bowls of wine to the commissioner and his brother."

Meng Shaoyuan took a sip of wine. It was sweet wine. Drink it to quench your thirst.

"Okay, you are right about this." Hang Sanniang continued at this time: "Cangwu's national army mobilizes frequently to prepare to suppress bandits, and these bandits are naturally us.

However, are your special commissioners planning to destroy Baoshan Village first, or Zuojianshan?"

"I say Sanniang, we don't speak secretly when we are in plain sight."

Once Master Meng stopped speaking seriously, his shouting became more and more outrageous, which made the two female bandits behind Hang Sanniang raise their eyebrows in anger.

Master Meng just pretended not to see it: "Suppressing bandits is often a thankless job. You have been here for so many years and are deeply rooted. You have your own way to survive.

If the government is really determined to get rid of you no matter the cost, can it? Yes! But it will also have to pay a considerable price. Therefore, all dynasties have used both suppression and appeasement to deal with bandits.

Recruit people first, and everyone will be happy. Only when they really can't recruit people can they suppress them, but this suppression is often the last step."

Hang Sanniang only felt that although this special correspondent was frivolous in his words, he was sincere in his words.

How could a person like Meng Shaoyuan be willing to tell lies about this kind of thing? That is the most unwise thing.

If you want to implement your plan step by step, you must first gain the other party's trust: "Why does the government want to suppress bandits this time? It's not a whim.

The Japanese army may attack Guangxi at any time. If troops are sent from Guangdong, Cangwu must be at the forefront. There are Japanese in front and a group of bandits behind them who may cause trouble at any time. How can we fight this battle?

However, if you fight, there will inevitably be casualties. If the casualties are large, the government will not be able to accept it. If the casualties are small, the bandits will not be able to suppress them, and the goal will not be achieved.

Therefore, the government has decided to focus on recruitment first."

"Recruitment, how to recruit security?" Hang Sanniang asked the question that the bandits were most concerned about.

"People are still your people, guns are still your guns, and territory is still your territory."

Meng Shaoyuan said calmly: "But we must accept the leadership of the government, abide by national laws, and must not cause trouble to the local area. As for other aspects."

He paused and then said: "Baoshan Village, the government has given you a battalion establishment, and you have to make your own decisions regarding the appointment of officers.

In terms of military pay, it will be paid according to the local garrison. If you have any other requirements, you can put them forward and see if we can meet them.

I said, Sanniang, this is a once-in-a-lifetime good thing. I will give you another master of the Cangwu Women's Anti-Japanese Salvation Association. The brothers in Baoshan Village are actually still under your control."

Hang Sanniang couldn't bear it anymore: "Do you have the guts to call me Sanniang again? I'll really cut off your tongue."

"Yes, I don't dare to do it anymore, Sanniang!"
