Another winter has passed, and time has entered the spring of 1920. Before he knew it, Zhao Zhenzhong and the other two have come to this world for more than a year and a half. The three of them have grown a little taller. Zhao Zhenzhong is now in his early 1.6 meters, Zhou Tian is nearly 1.6 meters, and Zhou Hao is also more than 1.5 meters. After this and a half years of training, the spirit of the three people has changed significantly. Zhao Zhenzhong is more calm and restrained, and his eyes are deeper. Zhou Tian’s reputation is as peaceful and beautiful as his person; Zhou Hao used to be impetuous, and now he is a lively and cheerful sunny boy.
After a series of busy preparations, after the spring sowing, the school building of Nanyao Yixue was quickly built with the enthusiastic help of nearby villagers. There were two rows of 18 school buildings. For the sake of expenses and not being too conspicuous, the main body of the school building was built this time with brick and stone structure, but it was made of thatched and yellow mud roof. A large area of open space was reserved for future expansion. A wall was built around the open space with adobe to facilitate the teaching management of children.
Among the 18 school buildings, there are 6 rooms in the front row that are divided into two classrooms, each classroom can accommodate about 50 students; the remaining three rooms are used as office management places for Yixue School. The back row is built with 1 teacher dormitory and 6 student dormitories, and two rooms become a kitchen, which contains more than 1,000 kilograms of grain, which can be eaten by 100 people for about ten days. A vegetable garden has been cultivated in the nearby open space, with common vegetables planted in it.
After the school building was completed in May, it was not put into use immediately. After seeing off the villagers who helped with the construction in nearby villages, Zhao Zhenzhong and Li Laodao and others were busy in the mountains near the south of the school, and also sorted out the small road leading to Longwang Temple at the southeast end of Nanyao Island.
After all this, several people began to select students. Among the more than 130 orphans and the descendants of Li Laodao and others, 63 children over 7 were selected, and 35 children sent by nearby villagers were recruited, totaling 98 people became the first batch of students in this charity school.
After the summer harvest in 1920, this simple school called "Laoshan Yixue" officially started.
Every morning and evening, the school picks up and drops up students from Juxian Palace between the north of Nanyao Village and the small port in front of Juxian Palace. It provides a free lunch at noon. It takes one day off every seven days.
Due to restrictions such as bedding and heating, students are only arranged to stay in school when the weather is bad in summer, and generally do not stay in other seasons. Of course, several students cannot travel back and forth every day because they are far away from home. After discussion with Li Laodao and others, they live with the orphans. Among them are 6 or 7 children in Qingshan Village, including Lin Boss Lin’s son who was guided by Zhou Tian.
Most people nearby think that this Laoshan Yixue was written by the Taiqing Palace, while the smarter ones think that it was Li Laodao's affection. Unlike these people, Lin Boss Lin and Zhao Zhenzhong have met several times and are familiar with each other. His previous experiences outside made him realize that it was largely the idea of Zhao Zhenzhong's three children.
Lin's name is Lin Haishan. He is only 34 years old this year. However, the hardships of the years and the years of wind and sun on the sea make him look in his early 40s. It is said that he was also a number one person outside in his early years, but later he got married and had children and returned to Qingshan Village to settle down. When others saw that this "Laoshan Yixue" was too simple and unwilling to send his children, Lin Haishan drove a boat from Qingshan Village to Li Laodao, Zhao Zhenzhong and others several times, hoping that they could take their son Lin Yuntao. Especially when he came to Li Laodao's introduction to the residence, heard about the actions of Zhao Zhenzhong and the other two, and saw the changes here, he made up his mind to send his son to study hard with Zhao Zhenzhong. Even if Lin Yuntao can learn Zhao Zhenzhong's ability in the future, he doesn't have to worry about his son.
Lin Yuntao was dissatisfied from the bottom of his father asking him to listen to Zhao Zhenzhong's arrangements. In his opinion, Zhao Zhenzhong was one year younger than him. Although he was about the same height, his body was not as strong as himself and his strength was definitely not as strong as himself. But when he saw Zhao Zhenzhong and Zhou Hao and his two were completely convinced after training every day. Not to mention Zhao Zhenzhong, the wooden chopsticks thrown three feet away could penetrate the small tree of the bowl's thickness. Even Zhou Hao, who was nearly 3 years younger than him, could not handle it. In this way, Lin Yuntao stayed with him wholeheartedly. In fact, he was very happy. It was quite good to have so many children playing with him, delicious food, and learn martial arts. It was more troublesome to learn to read every day.
Lin Haishan often comes to visit his son, and when he has time, he will chat with Mr. Li and Zhao Zhenzhong and others.
One day in mid-August, because of the strong wind and waves in the nearby seas these days, Lin Haishan did not go out to sea, so he brought his wife to visit his son again. During the chat, he talked about the nearby bandits. It was mainly about Sun Baiwan's troops who were entrenched in Xuejia Island and Wanggezhuang in Jimo and Masanye's troops on Tianheng Island in the east of Jimo.
Before World War I, the Germans were in great custody. There were basically no bandits or pirates in Jiaozhou Bay and Laoshan. Even if pirates occasionally came ashore, they would not dare to go deep into the mainland. But after the Japanese came, bandits began to appear in large numbers. In order to manipulate bandits against the Chinese government, the Japanese continued to sell weapons and ammunition to the bandits, causing bandits to become increasingly rampant.
Sun Baiwan's bandits were the largest bandit left by Juzhen Jiaodong. In 1916, after Yuan Shikai became emperor, Sun Yat-sen sent Juzheng, a veteran of the Tongmenghui, to Shandong to organize a force to fight against Yuan, gathering more than 3,000 people including bandits, among which Sun Baiwan was among them. After this team fought several battles, Sun Baiwan gradually became one of the small leaders. After Yuan Shikai's death, the bandit leader was shot dead during the warlords' encirclement and suppression of Shandong warlords, and not many people were left. At this time, Sun Baiwan and a man named Ma Wenlong led this armed force to become bandits who fought for family robbers.
Sun Baiwan is the leader in the water and Lu Hei Road in the Jiaodong area, and calls himself the "Commander-in-Chief of the Jiaodong Guerrillas" with nearly 2,000 troops. Ma Wenlong is the top leader of his "Four Kings".
From the previous year to the end of last year, during Zhang Shuyuan's administration, he vigorously wiped out bandits. After some habitual bandits who had been rampant in southwestern Shandong for many years were wiped out, Sun Baiwan began to make great efforts to operate Xuejia Island in order to avoid the limelight. So far, the bandits of Sun Baiwan's troops have basically been transferred to the Xuejia Island area, but they still have elite forces in Wanggezhuang. On the one hand, these left-behind personnel are responsible for providing material support to the bandits on Xuejia Island, and on the other hand, they are responsible for scouting and selling stolen goods. Every ten days and half a month, a ship comes from Xuejia Island and delivers stolen goods with the bandits in Wanggezhuang in the area of Shizi Island. The bandits coming from Xuejia Island drove the ship full of food and other supplies back, while the bandits in Wanggezhuang return with the stolen goods.
There are nearly a thousand bandits on Tianheng Island. It is said that they have colluded with Ma Liang, the former brigade commander of the Anhui border guards and the commander of Jinan, who had stepped down shortly after the Zhi-Anhui War. Some people say that Ma Sanye was his cousin of the Ma Liang family. Most of these bandits were defeated soldiers and had extraordinary strength.
Both of these bandits were once entrenched in the eastern waters of Laoshan, which really caused a lot of hardships for the nearby fishermen.
After hearing what Lin Haishan said, Zhao Zhenzhong asked: "Uncle, how many ships do they have for each delivery?"
"It's not necessarily true, sometimes seven or eight boats, sometimes two or three boats. Let's see if they need it."
"When will the next delivery be roughly the same?" Zhao Zhenzhong asked again.
"I guess it will be soon after the storm has calmed down in the past few days." Lin Haishan was a little confused. "What are you asking about this?"
"I think of seeing what these bandits look like nearby."
"What's so good about it? If you get close, you will get shot when you get angry." Lin Haishan disagreed.
Zhao Zhenzhong did not mention any more about bandits. However, in early August, Zhao Zhenzhong often followed the boats of fishermen in nearby villages to Qingdao City. During this period, Zhao Zhenzhong began to learn to drive the sail-powered fish boat of this era. In the past world, Zhao Zhenzhong had learned to drive small ships with sail-powered sail-powered, but that was a competition-based boat type, which was obviously different from the fishing boat of this era. However, Zhao Zhenzhong learned very quickly and did not take long to master how to drive the fishing boat, and even in the calm and quiet situation, he could control the fishing boat to drive by himself.
Afterwards, Zhao Zhenzhong took the opportunity to go to the underwater cave where the materials were hidden, and quietly took out two sets of night vision equipment, two sets of special operations communication equipment, two pairs of telescopes, two assault rifles and night vision scopes, 30 rounds filled with 20 magazines, two rifles with mufflers, and 10 parts of plastic explosives and explosive devices. After taking out these materials and trying to hide them in the nearby mountains, Zhao Zhenzhong, Zhou Tian and Zhou Hao used the excuse to pick them in the mountains, and secretly carried weapons and equipment to start shooting training.
The training effect of humans is pretty good. When Zhou Tian and Zhou Hao were conducting shooting training, Zhao Zhenzhong often went to the mountain peaks facing the sea on the east side of Laoshan and used a telescope to observe the situation near Lion Island. During this period, bandits had two handovers on Lion Island. Each time the bandits would eat and drink after the handover, and then drove a boat to return in the dark. Zhao Zhenzhong decided to act at the next time when the bandits were handover. This was the first military action that came to this era, and the code name was "金黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑�
