Rebirth: I am in Jin-Cha-Ji

But after asking, Gao Wei realized how outrageous it was.

Ordinary people are just ordinary people after all, and they are not familiar with these things. Gao Linyue is the richest man in Gaotian Town. Although Gaotian Town has few people and is poor, Gao Linyue is truly rich.

With four thousand acres of arable land, the annual income is very high.

He wasn't as wealthy as the super-rich, but he was definitely a powerful local figure. Even a wealthy landlord like him in those days was insecure. Warlords came to extort him, bandits came to extort him, and now the Japanese were also coming to extort him. Therefore, the truly wealthy in this era were either descendants of successful family members who held high positions in government, or were favored by a warlord. Or even were they themselves descended from warlords.

At the very least, you have to have good relations with the local bandits.

You are a landlord with no connections, no power, and are kindhearted. You also want to be a big landlord? What a joke! You would have been killed by warlords and bandits long ago.

Gao Linyue was also afraid.

Over the years, he has been trying to curry favor with the higher-ups. When the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army came, he would curry favor with the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, and when the Northwest Army came, he would curry favor with the Northwest Army. But bandits are hard to guard against. So Gao Linyue spent a lot of money to buy weapons and set up the so-called Gaotian Town Police Department.

It is called a police station, but in fact it is Gao Linyue's retainer troop.

To protect himself, Gao Linyue had invested heavily. While not all of his guns were good, they were still adequate for defending against bandits in this area. In particular, Gao Linyue had leveraged his connections to purchase two Czech light machine guns and a number of Mauser pistols, also known as box guns, from the 29th Army.

With two machine guns mounted on the wall, ordinary bandits would have no way to stop them.

Even with the current strength of their advance brigade, they don't have much to do against the earthen wall with two light machine guns.

it's good now.

There is no need to attack the front gate wall.

Gao Wei deliberately chose the evening time. Around 4:30, it was already quite dark, and it was difficult to see clearly from outside. This made it easier to sneak in.

"Who?"

"I got the food."

The chief police officer who stayed behind spoke from behind.

He has to say it.

Behind him was a box gun, pressing against his waist.

"Why are you so late? Butler Chen just asked you?"

"Stop talking. I didn't push the cart properly and it fell into the ditch, spilling everything. Hurry and open the door. I need to go in and report to the housekeeper. I'm sure you'll get scolded."

“Come on in.

Zero vigilance.

Because compared to the previous chaos, these years have been very peaceful.

During the Central Plains War, some defeated soldiers tried to plunder Gaojiabao, but failed. Although many warlords came to plunder Gaojiabao, no one really wanted to take Gaojiabao.

The main reason was that Gao Linyue had currying favor with the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and the 29th Army.

As for the villagers of Gaotian Town?

This was how life had been going for decades, and no one dared to resist. Furthermore, there were some small landlords in Gaotian Town who, unable to defeat Gao Linyue, had no choice but to rely on him. Thus, Gaotian Town formed a power structure headed by Gao Linyue, which included some of the landlords of Gaotian Town. The villagers also had no power to resist.

Bandits had visited Gaotian Town in previous years. But facing Gao Linyue's earthen fortifications, these bandits were helpless. Over time, the bandits had only come here to extort money. Unless Gaojiabao was captured, Gaotian Town was so impoverished that there was no need to visit. So they were just asking for routine reasons.

Gao Wei pushed the cart and looked around in the crowd.

Seeing a few guards standing and chatting inside the wall, and no one at the light machine gun station, he raised his hand and gestured. Gao Li, who was dressed as a police officer behind him, immediately touched the soldier next to him.

They had made preparations beforehand.

When the two men passed by the door, they suddenly attacked and dealt with the gatekeeper.

Gao Wei saw from the corner of his eye that Gao Li had already dealt with the servants at the door and walked towards the servants who were chatting. When the servants saw Gao Li and the villagers coming, they immediately scolded them, "Go over there, the food needs to be delivered inside."

"sorry Sorry."

Gao Wei immediately bent down to apologize.

But as soon as he bent down, the cart fell to the ground. The servants became even angrier. One of them stepped forward and kicked Gao Wei, saying, "You are so tall, but you are so incompetent. By the way, which village are you from? I've never seen anyone as tall as you."

The servant raised his foot and asked with some confusion.

The servants' eyes were all on Gao Wei, and they didn't notice that the villagers had surrounded them.

"Don't move!"

Several people pretending to be villagers had pistols on their waists.

It hit the servant's waist directly.

"What do you want?"

The servant was being held back and asked in a trembling voice.

"Don't talk, or I'll kill you."

Gao Wei stepped forward and took out a Mauser pistol from the servant's belt. He looked at the pistol and said, "It's a waste to let you use such a good box gun. Gao Li, take the manned machine gun position."

"Yes."

"Everyone else, follow me. If you can solve the problem without a gun, don't use it.

Of course, if necessary, you can also shoot decisively.

"Yes."

After dealing with the two servants at the door, the door at the back was opened to welcome the others in.

Gao Wei led his troops to the place where the guards were stationed. In the winter in the countryside, everyone would stay indoors around five in the evening. Winter nights in the north were too cold and dark.

This is the case with Gao Linyue's servants.

Gao Linyue trained the servants and provided them with a unified dormitory, just like a military camp.

Gao Wei is going to get rid of this.

It's really too easy.

Because they were completely unprepared. Gao Wei looked at these people with a certain degree of vigilance. If he were in the base, would he be just as unprepared as them? But it was precisely because of this lack of preparedness that Gao Wei and his men easily dealt with these servants.

There were more than fifty people in total.

Although they usually carried guns and bullied people everywhere, they had only fought off bandits in Tuweizi a few years ago. In fact, most of them had never actually fired a gun until now, and only fired a few shots at the beginning of training.

When faced with a regular army like Gao Wei's, they were completely scared.

How dare I resist?

After dealing with the retainer troops, Gao Wei felt relieved. Now the entire Gaojiabao was no longer threatened.

"Let's go and beat the local tyrants."

How rich a landlord is who owns four thousand acres of land.

You'll know once you take it down.

The warehouses were overflowing with grain. Chinese landlords had a characteristic: they loved hoarding money, land, and grain. Many Chinese landlords were interested in land, not business. They would rather bury their money than use it for business.

Gao Linyue is just like that.

The warehouse was overflowing with grain. Gao Linyue had been busy collecting grain from various villages, and it was all piled up here. Although Gao Wei didn't know how much, he estimated there were at least four or five hundred bags.

And that's not all.

The landowners are truly afraid.

The family had amassed a considerable stockpile of weapons. It was unknown where they had acquired the weapons, but all the rifles were Hanyang rifles. Gao Wei counted the spoils of the battle and found over 160 Hanyang rifles and over Mauser pistols.

The Gao family has been making money for generations, and Gao Linyue has been doing it for more than 40 years.

The assets are amazing.

Modern people would never understand why such a wealthy landlord didn't live in a big city, but instead stayed in such a backward rural area. In fact, this was the choice of most landlords in this era.

Chapter 076: Conquering Gaojiabao 2

To sneak into Gaojiabao's earthen wall.

Gao Wei chose to have some soldiers pretend to be villagers pushing carts of food in front, and the so-called police force following behind. Except for one person who was left as the leader, the others were all Gao Wei and his men wearing police uniforms.

Gao Wei is too tall.

So pretend to be a villager.

Gao Wei was quite grateful at this time.

If he hadn't captured these people and interrogated them this time, or if he had only relied on the intelligence provided by the villagers of Chaoyang Bay, he would have lost this battle. The intelligence provided by the villagers of Chaoyang Bay was that Gao Linyue only had a police force of about 100 people.

And the description of their weapons is relatively simple.

Either a rifle or a pistol.

But after asking, Gao Wei realized how outrageous it was.

Ordinary people are just ordinary people after all, and they are not familiar with these things. Gao Linyue is the richest man in Gaotian Town. Although Gaotian Town has few people and is poor, Gao Linyue is truly rich.

Gao Linyue was also afraid.

Over the years, he had been currying favor with the higher-ups, currying favor with the Jinsui Army when it arrived, and currying favor with the Northwest Army when it arrived. But bandits are hard to guard against. So Gao Linyue spent a lot of money to buy weapons and set up the so-called Gaotian Town Police Department.
