Chapter 53 Establishing Authority

For many people in Juxian County, the gunshots that rang out in the city early in the morning really scared them enough. Thankfully, the battle didn't last long, and it didn't reach them, which gave them a little peace of mind.

It was not until the troops who captured the county town began to patrol the streets in squads and post notices that the people in the city dared to come out and walk around. To the surprise of the people, the soldiers who invaded the county town actually forbade them to leave the city.

The reason given by the army is also to prevent anyone from going out of the city to leak their whereabouts, and to close the county for a day at most. With the explanation of the troops, the people in the city gradually settled down, and no one dared to force them to leave the city.

If you really want to let these soldiers treat them as fine work, then it is too worthless to die. Staying in the city for one more day is actually not as difficult as imagined for the people living in the city.

Only the merchants who opened shops in the city to do business said with a little regret: "Look at this, I guess there is no business to do today!" ”

"Who's to say it isn't! Although some people enter the city, they can't get out of the city, who dares to pay for things! Forget it, if you can't do it, you will close for a day. In this world, it's really difficult to do anything! ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, do you think it will be our army that will recover the county this time?"

"Look at the uniforms of those patrol soldiers, they are all wearing the uniforms of little devils. I don't know, I really see them as little devils. It's just that I've heard that those soldiers seem to be prisoners who were held in prison a while ago, I don't know if it's true! ”

Compared with other shops, the business is light, but today the business of several teahouses and restaurants in the city is thriving. The outsiders who entered the city yesterday cannot leave the city today, so they can only continue to eat in the hotel. Those who entered the city today were also blocked in the city and were not allowed to leave the city.

Although the city gate is blocked, if you really want to get out of the city, you can still find a way out of the city. Although Juxian County has built a city tower, the city fortifications cannot envelop the whole city in it. If you walk from the side, there is still a path to leave.

For these people who choose to leave the city by small road, Hu Biao did not stop them. Leaving on foot, even if someone wants to report to the little devil, I'm afraid it won't have much effect. What's more, the troops who came to the aid of the little devils have already hit the road.

Just when these vendors felt that business was light today. Many shopkeepers who were drinking tea in the teahouse suddenly saw their own guys rushing into the teahouse and said: "Shopkeepers, those who are soldiers want to buy things, waiting in the store!" ”

"What? Soldiers want to buy things? Give money? ”

"It should be given! Looking at the tone of those soldiers, it seems that they are quite easy to speak. ”

"These soldiers don't want to steal things, do they?"

"If you really rob something, why should people let the guys come and call people? It's a blessing or a curse, and it's a disaster that can't be avoided. You might as well go back and see what's going on. Woe to these soldiers! ”

In troubled times, the barrel of a gun is king. For these vendors, the most fearful thing is to run into these customers with guns in their hands. If one is not good, the other party may be forced to buy and sell. In many cases, vendors have to break the bank.

Even the little devils stationed in the county town have plagued them every once in a while. Every time I encounter a little devil who is not good at talking, most of the shopkeepers who open a store can endure it, and they can only close their doors if they can't bear it.

But how many vendors can really be ruthless and close the store? Most of these shops are the lifeblood of these vendors. Losing the shop often means that the family's livelihood is gone, so how will they live in the future?

When these apprehensive shopkeepers returned to the store one after another, they learned that the soldiers waiting in the store were really here to spend money to buy things. Even the price is very fair, and there is no forced buying.

Even if there is a shopkeeper who intends to take the opportunity to make a profit, they do not dare to make a random price when they see the soldiers with guns in front of the store. Really provoked these soldiers, who knows if they will not give money and convict them casually!

What surprised these merchants even more was that these soldiers smiled before leaving: "Shopkeeper, after we leave the city, you'd better go to the countryside to take refuge." After a while, it should be safer for you to come back.

If the little devil asks you in the future, you can also tell the little devil that we bought these goods at a low price. If you don't sell it, we're going to rob it or even kill it. In that case, you may be able to escape.

As an added note, we are the people of the Snow Shame Camp. In the future, if one of our people comes into the store to buy something, you should know how to do it, right? There is another sentence that the shopkeeper should keep in mind, don't work for the little devil, otherwise there will be retribution! ”

"It's nature! It's nature! ”

The officers who were ordered to come to purchase supplies, although they did not understand why they had to tell the merchants these words when they were leaving. But for Hu Biao, who gave this order, this is also an invisible blockage for the little devil and a fame for the Snow Shame Camp.

In the future of fighting behind enemy lines, Hu Biao felt that there should be many opportunities to rescue prisoners of war. Compared with thinking about a new name, Hu Biao felt that the name of the Snow Shame Camp could always be used as a unique name for the prisoner of war camp.

In that case, no matter where they are in the future, as long as they play the name of the Snow Shame Camp, these shrewd merchants will know that this is a fair buying and selling army. It will also be easier to raise supplies behind enemy lines.

Hu Biao, who has experience in later generations, knows very well that for a long time in the future, the Japanese army will be extremely strict in the blockade of all kinds of materials. In order for these merchants to be willing to take risks and make transactions, they must feel reassured and profitable.

really ran into the kind of profiteer who was unkind to the rich, and Hu Biao didn't mind making a cameo appearance as a bandit once in a while. But now doing this, I also hope to spread the news of 'the fairness of the snow shame camp' through the mouths of these vendors.

Over time, merchants in other places may also be impressed when they hear about the Snow Shame Camp. Even if you don't dare to make a deal openly on the surface, there will always be businessmen with a conscience who dare to take risks to do business with people like Hu Biao.

What happened to the buying and selling of materials in the city, Hu Biao, who was staying in the barracks at the moment, did not know. For Hu Biao, since this matter is handed over to Tian Sili to handle, then he should believe that Tian Sili can handle this matter well.

If he wants to command such a newly formed team, Hu Biao must also appropriately delegate power. If he comes forward in person for everything, it is estimated that he will not be able to be busy just because Hu Biao knows how to do it. As a commander, Hu Biao must be a laborer rather than a laborer!

Standing in front of the well-fed and well-fed prisoners of war, Hu Biao still gave the prisoners of war two paths, just like in the town. After some open and honest pre-war mobilization, there are still more than 30 prisoners of war who chose to leave.

Seeing these people, Hu Biao also said directly: "Deputy Battalion Commander Xu, take them away." Before leaving, each of them was given five pieces of ocean and some dry food. In addition, let them take off their military uniforms, give them a dress of civilian clothes, and let them go! ”

"Yes, Battalion Commander!"

The other prisoners of war who chose to stay were naturally surprised to hear that the prisoners of war who chose to leave were given money and clothes. Originally, in their opinion, Hu Biao was merciful enough not to surprise them.

Listening to the chatter of these prisoners of war, Hu Biao continued: "Quiet! I've already said before that you can't force such a thing as a little devil. With them on the battlefield and retreating as deserters, I'd rather let them leave now.

You can choose to stay, and I, Hu Biao, will treat you as brothers. As long as you are not out of danger, I will fight with you. On the battlefield, if you see me retreating as a deserter, any of you can give me a shot.

Although we are now free, we are not out of danger. In the vicinity of Ju County, there are still little devils' city defense troops. If we want to safely retreat to the rear and join the main army, we must eliminate these little devils who are blocking our way home.

As long as we work together, we will definitely be able to break out of the encirclement of the little devils, return safely to the rear to join the large army, and even have the opportunity to reunite with our families in the future.

Before leaving, I will give you the prize for this victory, which is not much ten yuan per person. After you complete the registration, you will be able to receive the corresponding rewards from your respective company commanders. How to spend it, you can do it yourself.

In future battles, those who have killed the enemy will also be rewarded accordingly. If in the future, we can recover the county town occupied by the little devils, and I will also share some of the money captured in the battle with my brothers.

During the combat march, all officers and men were treated equally, and you will eat whatever we eat. And I have only one requirement for you, and that is to obey the command and fight the enemy bravely. Tell me, can you do it? ”

"Yes! Yes! Yes! ”

Although the money is not much, it represents Hu Biao's heart. It was not much, but it made these warriors of ordinary origin grateful. After spending a sum of money and talking on the phone, Hu Biao's prestige as a battalion commander was temporarily established in the hearts of these prisoners of war!

With prestige among the soldiers, Hu Biao doesn't have to worry that those company commanders or platoon commanders will pull these soldiers to the opposite side of him. But Hu Biao knows better that the real magic weapon to establish prestige is to lead them to continue to win!
