Chapter 56: Follow the Tide

Ren Laifeng went to visit the imprisoned Zhang Laifu. said that he was locked up, but in fact it was a single room, and it was as simple as putting two people at the door. Zhang Laifu was beaten up quite a bit, although Xiao Qingfa had already found someone to give him medicine, but it was not so quick to recover.

Zhang Laifu lay on his side on the bed with ointment on his face. It doesn't work on his stomach, he can't lie on his back, he can only lie on his side now. From a medical point of view, this is a more scientific way to sleep. It's just that this is obviously not the time to sleep, and Zhang Laifu is not enjoying sleep when he lies on the bed.

Ren Laifeng looked at Zhang Laifu lying down from the door, and Zhang Laifu also saw him.

"Zhang Laifu, let me ask you about something. Do you think you still need to live? Do you want to live anymore? What else is the meaning of your life? ”

"Interesting, interesting. I want to live, I want to live! As the battalion commander, I don't want to die, I want to live! ”

"Okay, okay, I know you want to live. It's just that you've done so many bad things, you have to do a few more good things, right? Otherwise, let others have an opinion. Ren Laifeng looked at Zhang Laifu happily. In fact, he didn't have the bad taste of seeing others suffer and feel happy in his heart, he just had a little high expectations for Zhang Laifu, and if he didn't force this guy to death, he would definitely not be able to do it.

"Good deeds, good deeds! The year before last, I helped a blind old lady cross the street, and last year I caught a thief who stole money. Oh, my second uncle and his family are poor, and they borrowed ten yuan from me in the first month, and I didn't add interest to him when I repaid the bill in the second half of the year. And ......"

"None of that!" Ren Laifeng interrupted him rudely, "Anyway, you are also the head of the regiment in charge of hundreds of people, can it be regarded as a small matter as helping the old lady cross the road and catching thieves?" And your second uncle, since he is a relative of your family, you should have lent him money, and you are embarrassed to take it out without interest? I'm telling you, these so-called good deeds of yours are too small to count! ”

Too small doesn't count? Zhang Laifu was depressed. He asked Ren Laifeng with a wrinkled bitter melon face: "What is a good thing?" What kind of good thing counts? ”

"The current security corps is a team of traitors who follow the Japanese, if you can lead them to the right path, it will be a great thing!" After a big circle, Ren Laifeng finally said the final answer. Then they stared at Zhang Laifu without blinking, seeing what he said.

"Battalion commander Ren wants the security regiment to join the national army, right? Okay, as long as you are willing to be the battalion commander, I will lead the whole regiment to follow you now. In Ren Laifeng's surprised gaze, Zhang Laifu agreed to his request. Not only that, Zhang Laifu also lowered his conditions, "I don't want to be a regiment commander anymore, I will be content to be a squad leader and platoon commander under the battalion commander." ”

It's as simple as that? Ren Laifeng didn't believe his ears anymore. But it's as simple as that. Ren Laifeng personally wrote an order for the uprising of the security group, and Zhang Laifu signed his name and stamped his seal, and it was done. This guy doesn't look miserable now, his regimental seal is still on his body.

With this order, Ren Laifeng can start to incorporate the security team. However, with only the order, without Zhang Laifu himself coming forward, it is still difficult to implement the co-optation. It's better to have someone who can talk to the security team in the middle, so that things don't seem so abrupt.

Time is pressing, the large force of the Flying Tiger Battalion should launch a general attack before dawn tomorrow, and Ren Laifeng must get the security group before this, otherwise they will have to be eliminated as enemies.

For the characters who can talk to the security group, the first thing that Ren Laifeng thinks of is Xiao Qingfa. This hall master of the Broadsword Society is also the chief teacher of the security group, so he should be regarded as an upper-level figure. By him, he will naturally get twice the result with half the effort.

But when the battalion commander found Xiao Qingfa and told him about the matter, the chief teacher shook his head again and again, "Battalion commander, you have found the wrong person." Xiao Qingfa's first sentence put on the meaning of refusal, "I, the chief teacher, just put on a name, and I usually don't care about things." I've only participated in the training of the security regiment once, and you asked me to persuade his hundreds of men to surrender, how is this possible? ”

Isn't this going to help? Ren Laifeng's unhappiness was brought to his face at that time. Xiao Qingfa saw it, and he was busy trying to find a way to remedy it: "I can't do it, but someone can." ”

"Who can do it?" Ren Laifeng's tone was a little cold when he said these three words, and he felt that Xiao Qingfa was deliberately prevaricating.

"You, it's us. When we arrested Zhang Laifu, didn't we arrest all the people who came with him? Among those people were a battalion commander and two company commanders, as well as a chief of staff of Zhang Laifu. If these people are willing to go back and convince their colleagues, wouldn't they be more effective than me, the chief teacher of the light pole? ”

When Ren Laifeng heard it, it was also the same reason. However, since Xiao Qingfa coincided with his meeting, of course the battalion commander would not let him retreat. He didn't talk to Xiao Qingfa in person, but found Li Lishan, the captain of the independent brigade, alone.

"Brother Li, you are also the leader of the Great Sword Society. Now that you've joined the Flying Tiger Camp and have a bright background, you can't ignore your classmates. Xiao Qingfa is also from the Big Knife Society, do you think you can pull him into our team? If he agrees, you Shandong's and their Jiangxi Dadaohui will be able to fight side by side against Japan, and it will be a good story in the future. ”

"Rest assured, battalion commander, I have already calculated this matter in my heart. I'm going to go to Xiao Qingfa to explain the situation, I believe he is also a smart person and knows how to follow the trend! ”

Li Lishan: Who is that? As soon as Ren Laifeng said it, he understood. Who doesn't want to have more people under their own control? What's more, Xiao Qingfa's subordinates are all members of the Broadsword Clan, and pulling them into his own independent brigade will not only increase his Li Lishan's voice in the Flying Tiger Battalion, but also carry forward the Broadsword Meeting?

Looking at Li Lishan's eager expression, Ren Laifeng was secretly amused in his heart. However, this is a big step forward in the direction he wants in his heart, and Ren Laifeng is of course happy.

Xiao Qingfa has landed there, and then it's time to talk to those captives. Ren Laifeng found an empty house in Xiao Qingfa's compound, and invited a few people named by Xiao Qingfa among the captives to come in one by one for questioning.

When someone came, Ren Laifeng asked him: Are you willing to be a national army anyway? The people who were asked were basically stunned at first, and then they were overjoyed and swore on the spot: he was willing to do it anyway, he had long wanted to be a national army! It's a pity that no one has been introduced before, and now that the battalion commander is merciful and willing to accept it, he can't ask for it!
