Chapter Twenty-Three: Hao Ren is a Good Man
Hao Ren has never been a good person, at least that's what he always told himself.
So if he can make money, he will make money, and if he can't, he will make money!
Of course, maybe it's because of his name, or maybe it's because of his generous body and benevolent face, which gives people a very honest feeling, so many people have a good sense of him.
At least, Jian Liangzhi, a son of the Qing family, felt that Hao Ren was honest and diligent, and he was a senior non-commissioned officer in logistics affairs, so after taking up the post of commander of the Seventh Regiment, he continued to reuse Hao Ren and let him serve as the deputy baggage officer of the regiment.
The 7th Regiment went north to Guang'an to carry out military affairs, and his deputy baggage officer arranged supply transportation in the rear.
Hao Ren boasted that he had done a good job, and when he escorted the baggage team from the county town all the way north, and when he walked to Qingshan Town, he only 'lost' two truckloads of supplies because of the slippery road.
After coming to this Qingshan Town, Hao Ren was not polite, and directly took the baggage team into the city and rested for a day, and then continued to go north tomorrow.
Hao Ren naturally participated in the reception banquet held for him by the town guard Wang Jinqian and the patrol battalion officer Lin Ziran, although in a broken place like Qingshan Town, in addition to the game, there is nothing to eat and drink, but it is much better than when escorting supplies, eating and sleeping on the road.
During the banquet, Lin Ziran also quietly looked at Hao Ren, thinking about whether he could open a breakthrough from this person and then get weapons.
After half of the wine, Lin Ziran said loudly: "Xia Guan has heard for a long time that Lord Hao is a great talent, and when I see it today, it is really worthy of the name, no wonder it can be reused by Lord Jane!" ”
Hao Ren held the dignity of a sergeant, just smiled slightly, and then said: "I don't dare to say that I reuse, I'm just running errands for Master Jane!" ”
Lin Ziran said: "The logistics of the first army are all handed over to adults to preside, this is not reuse or what!" ”
Lin Ziran opened his eyes and said nonsense, in fact, the Hao Ren in front of him was actually just a sergeant and deputy baggage officer, who was only responsible for logistics and transportation in Luo'an County.
There is also a heavy officer above him who is a military lord of the lower doctor, and he is the boss in charge of the logistics affairs of the Seventh Regiment.
But Lin Ziran said nonsense, and Hao Ren didn't mean to defend himself, after all, everyone loves to hear good words.
Seeing that Lin Ziran spoke well, and he also remembered the letter from the regiment commander Jian Liangzhi that he received earlier, Hao Ren said: "Hao is just a people's leader, but it is Lin Yingguan that you defeated a group of Guang'an rebels some time ago, which is admirable, and when I received the letter from Lord Jian a few days ago, Hao still couldn't believe it!" ”
Lin Ziran naturally said: "It's all Master Jane's command, and the subordinate is just acting according to orders!" ”
At this banquet, it is good to eat and drink, you and I praise you, and the atmosphere is very friendly.
Moreover, during the banquet, Hao Ren said that he had received a letter from Jian Liangzhi, and according to his instructions, he would leave fifty guns and corresponding bullets for Lin Ziran, and on the spot, he ordered others to let Lin Ziran send someone to collect the relevant ordnance and ammunition, and there was no accident at all.
This made Lin Ziran feel even better about this Hao Ren in front of him.
It seems that this Hao Ren is really a good person!
He naturally didn't know that Hao Ren could get mixed up to this day, and he also had his own rules of conduct, making money and making money, but he always did what he was ordered to do well.
Jian Liangzhi personally ordered to leave a batch of ordnance for Lin Ziran's patrol battalion, and he, Hao Ren, would naturally handle this matter properly.
If it weren't for this, how could he be reused while making money.
After the reception banquet, there was nothing to do all night, and early the next morning, Hao Ren took dozens of baggage soldiers to escort dozens of carriages and continued north.
At this time, Lin Ziran also personally escorted a group of recruits under his hands, and when he left the city, Lin Ziran looked at the convoy, it seemed that there were a few fewer than when he entered the city yesterday, but he didn't count them.
Besides, the amount of supplies has nothing to do with him Lin Ziran.
Lin Ziran just took Jian Liangzhi's ordnance and other materials, and provided the corresponding escort at the expense of this.
As long as the baggage team is not looted by bandits or anything, it has nothing to do with him Lin Ziran.
More than 200 people escorted dozens of vehicles and hundreds of people, all the way to the north for seven or eight kilometers, and naturally no little thieves dared to do anything along the way.
After smoothly going north for seven or eight kilometers, they did not continue to go north, because if they continued to go north, they would almost enter the territory of Guang'an County, and the follow-up escort task would be taken over by the headquarters of the Seventh Regiment.
After handing over the supplies, Lin Ziran and Hao Ren returned south with their people at that time.
On the way back, Hao Ren and Lin Ziran also talked many times.
During the conversation, Lin Ziran had a feeling that this Hao Ren intentionally or unintentionally inquired about the situation of his Qingshan Town patrol camp.
And they focused on the ordnance situation of their patrol battalion, and tentatively asked if there were any plans to expand the army.
This made Lin Ziran vigilant!
Could it be that this Hao Ren can see through his thoughts and know that he wants to recruit troops and expand the army? And then fight for the world?
In the face of this kind of spying, Lin Ziran naturally had a choice and said: "There are many bandits in Qingshan Town, and the people have suffered from them for a long time. ”
"It's just that the young and strong are newly recruited, and the guns are insufficient, and I don't know when I will be able to become an army to suppress bandits."
Lin Ziran's words were naturally to explain the reason why he had recruited more than 200 recruits and trained every day, and at the same time, he also said that the young and strong were all newly recruited, and there were not many firearms.
After hearing this, Hao Ren said: "Master Lin cares about the safety of the people, which is really admirable!" ”
Next, the two of them praised each other again, Lin Ziran said that Hao Ren had a heavy sense of responsibility, and he had just delivered a batch of supplies, and he was ready to transport the second batch of materials after returning to the south non-stop.
Hao Ren also said that Lin Ziran cares about the safety of the people, regardless of life and death, and suppresses bandits, which is really a model for my generation.
The road was blowing, and everyone's footsteps were a lot brisker, but this time there were almost 20 kilometers back and forth, and it took too much time to escort the materials when they went, so it was already night in the afternoon when they walked halfway.
But he didn't stop, but continued with torches.
This torch attracted Lin Ziran's attention, because he found that the torch was soaked in black oil, and it smelled very pungent when burned.
Seeing this torch, Lin Ziran had more thoughts.
After more than an hour of nightfall, they returned to Qingshan Town!
There was nothing to do overnight, and the next day, Hao Ren returned south with dozens of people under his command, preparing to escort the second batch of supplies north, and estimated that he would be able to return to Qingshan Town in three or five days.
As for Lin Ziran himself, he naturally continued to train the recruits under his hands.
But in the afternoon of this day, Lin Ziran was still training the recruits to line up, Luo Mazi just walked to the side and said in a low voice: "My lord, there is an ordnance dealer outside, saying that he has a batch of ready-made various military supplies on hand, and asked us if we want it." ”
"Arms dealers?" This made Lin Ziran interested: "Bring him in!" ”
Lin Ziran has always been thinking about recruiting troops, and this matter of firearms is naturally the focus of his attention, and now that an ordnance dealer has come to the door, he naturally wants to see it.
It didn't take long for Luo Mazi to walk in with a middle-aged man, who seemed to be more curious about Lin Ziran after coming in, and looked at Lin Ziran several times.
Similarly, Lin Ziran was also looking at this ordnance dealer!
