Chapter 82: Deserters
"General Hua, that's impossible! So many people have looked for it before, but they haven't found it, so it's just a few of us......"
After basically figuring out what the other party wanted to express, Huaxing directly interrupted the other party:
"Duan Hongguang, right? I remember you've been to Sankun Mountain twice before. The first time was responsible for cooking, and the second time was responsible for escorting grain and grass. I've never been to the front line yet, am I right? ”
"Ahem, I, I haven't been on it, but that doesn't mean I'm ......"
"Alright, no more nonsense!" But soon, he was interrupted by Huaxing again:
"Then let me ask you again, have you ever been looking for the entrance before?"
"I—Of course I don't! I'm here to cook, why are you looking for an entrance? If I go, who will provide food for everyone? ”
This Hongguang spoke in a set way, and when he heard it, he was an old fritter, and his attitude was unusually casual, obviously he didn't take this General Hua in his eyes.
"I have never been to the front line, nor have I personally looked for ...... Duan Hongguang, what qualifications do you have to say that you can't find it? You didn't even try, how did you come to the conclusion? ”
Huaxing has never liked this kind of guy who has no sense of responsibility and only likes to talk about cannons, so he simply issued a "customer eviction order":
"With your attitude, it's useless for you to go and find it! Forget it, you can go back to Hongnong directly tonight. ”
"Huh? Hui, back to Hongnong? ”
Duan Hongguang is forty-five this year, and because he has been fighting with the army all the year round, he looks older than his actual age.
Because of his age, he didn't want to go out of the city to fight, he just wanted to live in the barracks.
This time he went out with the team, and he was also forced to be helpless. So when he heard that he had the opportunity to go back to the city, he was actually quite happy in his heart.
But after thinking about it, he always felt that it didn't seem right to just leave, so he asked one more question:
"Then what will I tell General Gao after I go back? Is there still a salary? ”
"Hehe, simple! You tell him the truth, saying that you don't want to come to war, and if you become a deserter, General Gao will deal with it! Hua Xing said expressionlessly.
"What? I—I'm not a deserter! General Hua, you say that, but you slander me! Hearing the word "deserter", Duan Hongguang finally became a little nervous.
"Slander?"
Hua Xing looked directly at each other with his eyes, and said unceremoniously:
"I know you just want to make a living in the army, and you don't want to contribute. You think you're smart and bargaining. But I can tell you unequivocally that your behavior is more hateful than 'desertion', and it will never be allowed in my Huaxing team!" ”
As he spoke, Hua Xing had a majestic face, and his tone was quite serious:
"You know, we're here to fight, and we're in danger of dying every second! If we want to survive in battle, our comrades-in-arms are our greatest guarantee. But look at your attitude, if you don't say it, you don't even have a sense of responsibility, who would dare to hand over your back to you? If you don't want to help, then I implore you to leave early so as not to harm your teammates! ”
As the captain of the Longyan special team, Huaxing has its own set of management philosophy, and it is deep-rooted.
He never minded the lack of ability of his comrades-in-arms, because ability can be improved, as long as he is willing to work hard, there is nothing that cannot be done.
But he has never had a good impression of this kind of guy who naturally doesn't like to take responsibility, hides when he encounters trouble, and just wants to mess around, and even a little shameless.
Keeping this kind of person in the team seems to increase the number of people, but once something happens, most of them are unreliable, and even have other negative effects.
Therefore, for the sake of the final victory and the safety of the soldiers, Huaxing has never allowed this attitude to exist in the army.
Change or leave. Want to mess around? No way!
Seeing that Duan Hongguang didn't speak for a long time, and his face was ashamed, Huaxing knew that the effect he wanted had been achieved, so he didn't say anything more, pointed to the map and returned to the topic:
"Ahem, okay, let's get down to business now. I studied it with Vice Admiral Tang, and we thought that here, here, and here and here...... It is likely that there are paths that have not yet been discovered. Whether it's rock climbing, tree climbing, or drilling holes and digging pits...... As long as you can enter the camp, don't let me go. Even if there are some things that you are not sure about, please make sure to record them and tell me back. As long as the information is valid, each piece of information ...... A tael of silver! ”
went out to investigate intelligence, and there was actually a "bounty"? After hearing this, everyone was surprised.
"Alright, let's go. At the same time tomorrow night, I will have enough silver taels to prepare for you! ”
As soon as these words came out, the ten people present stood up and saluted at the same time, and came out with different expressions.
After everyone left, Tang Sheng sorted out the map and asked suspiciously:
"General Hua, do you really want to buy intelligence with silver?"
"There is no joke in the army, what do you think?"
"Well, if there's too much information, wouldn't you lose a lot?" As the son of a businessman, Tang Sheng's first thought was profit and loss.
"Hehe, what I want is valid information, it must be useful for entering the mountain, do you think there will be a lot? Of course, if they can really find a new path, let alone one or two, even if it is a hundred taels of silver, I am willing to give it! ”
Hearing that Hua Xing's tone was so big, he didn't put a hundred taels of silver in his eyes, Tang Sheng said in surprise on the spot:
"Wow! People say that you have a lot of money, general, I didn't believe it before, but I didn't expect the rumors to be true? ”
"Hehe, I don't actually have much money, I just have a local tyrant friend." After shaking his head, he listened to Huaxing's voice and said:
"However, I did not bring much silver with me on this expedition. If there is too much information tomorrow, it may not be able to deal with it. ”
"Huh? So, then you dare to promise them? ”
"Hehe, what's not to dare?"
Speaking of this, I saw Hua Xing suddenly look at Tang Sheng with a wicked smile: "Isn't this ...... And you? Young Master Tang? ”
"I—I?"
Hearing this, Tang Sheng was stunned at first.
But soon he understood what the other party meant, and a helpless wry smile welled up on his face!
……
Early the next morning, as soon as Hua Xing walked out of the tent, he met several patrolling soldiers.
After several people saw Huaxing, the expressions on their faces and the posture of walking were obviously different from before, giving people a feeling of pretense.
It wasn't until Huaxing left that it was restored to its original state.
Seeing this scene, Huaxing was a burst of fun.
It seems that his words to teach Duan Hongguang last night have reached everyone's ears.
Although it is still at the level of "pretending", it at least shows that these guys have received the message they conveyed and know that they can't "mess around" in the army.
Although the progress is not large, it can be regarded as a step in a good direction.
After thinking about it again, Huaxing decided to carry out a large-scale adjustment of the barracks, and the specific measures were as follows.
