Signing in the Republic of China: starting from a foot patrol

Chapter 301 Finding a Backer

For an individual civilian, the existence of the clan can allow him to obtain the protection of the group, which can increase the chance of survival in the face of external threats.

For example, in the face of bandit intrusion, a small single-family family can only be slaughtered, but for a large family, they can organize young and middle-aged men in the clan to resist bandits.

Therefore, for some big families, bandits tend to avoid them, lest they lose their teeth if they don't get the money.

However, the existence of the clan is not perfect. Within the clan, although everyone has the same surname, there are still disputes and fights among them.

Fangtou with more clansmen will suppress Fangtou with fewer clansmen. Whichever Fangtou becomes an official, then this Fangtou will have more voice in the clan.

Therefore, the interior of each clan is not monolithic, and even such things as clansmen with the same surname killing each other have also happened.

The Han family in Dongjiang City is a big family. In addition to the Dafang Han Wenkui, who has always held the position of patriarch in his hands, there are also members of the Sifang clan.

Among them, the people in the second room and the fifth room were very close to Han Wenkui. For example, Han Wenxing, who served as the commander of the first brigade of the Lingnan Yasukuni Army this time, was the head of the second room, and Han Wending, the deputy brigade commander, was the head of the fifth room.

Sanfang was not afraid of Dafang's patriarchal authority because he had been a Jinshi and Juren, which made the relationship between Dafang and Sanfang always very bad.

Especially in the Republic of China, people who were recruited and Jinshi were no longer popular, and the third house was immediately suppressed by the big house, and the relationship between the two houses became more and more antagonistic.

As for the fourth house, they have the smallest number of people and have always been bullied by the clan. For example, when watering the fields, the members of the first house, second house, and fifth house have to water first.

It will be Sifang's turn after all their crops are watered.

But the crops are not easy to serve. If you don’t water them in time, they dare to die.

Five years ago, Sifang couldn't stand this kind of crowding out. In a rage, Han Wenyi, the head of the house, took Sifang's people and left Hanjiazhuang to open up wasteland in Beishan City. After a few years, a small Hanzhuang was built.

Although life is still tight, it's better than staying in Han Village and being bullied by other houses!

After Sifang left, the situation of Sanfang became even more difficult. Han Wenyuan, the head of Sanfang, was also thinking about whether to follow the example of Sifang and take everyone to other places to open up wasteland and establish villages, so that he would not have to suffer from such uselessness. up.

It's just that Zhang Zhiqing suddenly wanted to engage in the Lingnan Jingguo Army, which disrupted his plan.

Han Wenyuan, the head of Sanfangfang, was also appointed as a deputy brigade commander, and the young and middle-aged men of Sanfang were incorporated into the First Brigade of the Lingnan Jingguo Army.

However, the young and middle-aged men from the first, second, and fifth rooms were organized into three regiments to serve as soldiers, and the young and middle-aged men from the third room were directly disrupted and mixed into the three regiments.

As a result, Han Wenyuan, the deputy brigade commander, couldn't command the three regiments below, and the scattered and disrupted Sanfang clan couldn't gather together to support Han Wenyuan.

Therefore, Han Wenyuan, the deputy brigade commander, is just a decoration.

This move made Han Wenyuan feel more resentment towards Dafang.

On this day, Han Wenyuan was discussing matters with his father Han Zhengxia and several brothers of the Sanfang Literary Generation in the living room, when a member of the Literary Family clan said angrily:

"The people in this big house are too outrageous. Because of the large number of people in the big house, we beat our children in the third house until their noses and faces are bruised!"

"I went to ask them for an explanation, and Han Wenkui's son dared to scold me. Is this a bit of a rule?"

Another family member of the literary generation said worriedly: "It's okay for our children in Sanfang to be beaten twice. What I am most worried about now is that in case of a fight with the Jiangbei army, the people in Sanfang are likely to be forced to fight." Be a death squad to die."

"If that's the case, our third bedroom will never be seen again!"

At this time, these clansmen of the literary generation looked at Han Zhengxia and Han Wenyuan: "Master, Seventh Brother, please give me an idea, we can't just sit and watch Sanfang collapse!"

"We're going to die by then, and there won't even be anyone to add dirt to our graves!"

Han Wenyuan said with a sad face: "Oh, what can I do? It's not that I haven't told Han Wenkui about this before, but he, Han Wenkui, doesn't care about me at all."

"Han Wenxing from the second room went even further. He directly scolded our third-bedroom daughter-in-laws as chickens that don't lay eggs, and they can't add more people to the third room."

When everyone heard this, they were immediately furious, but they were immediately discouraged. Now that the first house is in the limelight, the second and fifth rooms are on good terms with it.

In the past, when the fourth room was there, the third room and the fourth room could still hug each other for warmth. Now that the fourth room is gone, only the third room can hardly support itself.

There is no way, who made the number of people in the third house small, and there are no clan members who are officials in the officialdom or the army.

If it was placed in the Qianqing period, the Sanfang had one Jinshi and three Juren, how could the Dafang dare to make things difficult for the Sanfang!

Unfortunately, times have changed!

The Republic of China is over, Jinshi and Juren shit are gone!

When everyone was frowning, Han Zhengxia, who had been silent all this time, coughed lightly twice.

Han Zhengxia is the last stereotyped scholar in Sanfang. With his ability, it will not be a problem to pass the next provincial examination.

As a result, the Qing Dynasty abolished the imperial examinations, and Han Zhengxia failed to realize his dream of raising people.

Everyone heard Han Zhengxia's cough and realized that the old man had something to say, so they quickly turned their attention to him: "Old man, do you have an idea?"

At this moment, Han Zhengxia took a sip of the tea, turned two shiny pecans in his hand, and said slowly, "Let me make up my mind, why, can't you think of a way?"

Everyone laughed awkwardly: "We are out of recruits, I really don't know how to fight with the people in Dafang!"

"That's right, Han Wenxing leaned on Zhang Zhiqing, he has money and a gun in his hand, our third room is not an opponent."

Han Zhengxia chuckled: "Why, let him, Han Wenxing, look for a backer, so our third room can't?"

"But, who are you looking for? Zhang Zhiqing is the commander of the Yasukuni Army, the biggest!" Han Wenyuan asked with a confused expression.

"Yeah, we can't go to look for Marshal Zhang."

"Dashuai Zhang knows we're idiots!"

Han Zhengxia shook his head, looking at his sons and nephews with a bit of helplessness and disgust: "I said that your eyes can only see the Yasukuni Army's three-acre land!"

"Besides the Yasukuni Army, can't we find other backers?"

"This....."

Everyone suddenly hesitated, you look at me, I look at you, thinking that there is no backer other than the Yasukuni Army?

Looking at the behavior of these people, Han Zhengxia shook his head and said, "Sanfang's context is really broken, and it's fortunate that I'm not dead, otherwise Sanfang's roots would be broken in your hands!"

Saying that, Han Zhengxia pointed to the north and said, "Han Wenkui has found Zhang Zhiqing as his backer, so can't we find Governor Lin as his backer?"

"But, aren't we going to go to war with Governor Lin? How can we find him as a backer?" Han Wenyuan still didn't turn the corner!
