100. And only then did he come out of the wolf's den, and entered into the mouth of the tiger
Niu Gu took the document and looked at it, and the previous piece of paper roughly said: According to the "Military Service Law" of the 22nd year of the Republic of China (1933), XX and others voluntarily enlisted in the army for military service in accordance with the law on a certain year, month, and day, etc., and the last one is Niu Gu's signature and date.
Dog's day, was cheated, the original one signed the contract to pick the goods, and the last one signed was right, but the first few were not, and they were dropped by the dog day's Cao Lian Commander.
The old Jianghu Niu Gu, I didn't expect to fall here, Niu Gu's face was pale, and it was useless to explain, the people really had real evidence in their hands, but the brothers jumped up when they read the documents, and shouted that they wanted to go to Commander Cao to settle accounts.
Niu Gu knew that this was useless, so he had to try to suppress the brothers, calm down his anger, and tell everyone, this will not work, we will lose money, hard work is not a way, or think long-term, see if we can come up with a better way in the future.
Adjutant Lin understood at a glance that this was a very ordinary case of deceiving a strong man, and he had seen a lot of it after being in the army for many years; He first took back the documents and prepared to go back to the regiment headquarters to report the matter.
Since the promulgation of the "Military Service Law" by the government last year (1933), it has been stipulated that men between the ages of 18 and 45 are strong men, only sons are exempted, civil servants are deferred, and other three are drawn for one and five are drawn for two.
This method of levying Ding seems to be fair on the surface, but the problem lies in the unfairness in private, the rich strong men, as long as they pay enough money, can be exempted from the levy, and the powerful strong men, then there is no need to apply for the levy in a word.
In this way, there is a vacancy in the number of places on the household registration roster, who will fill it? It's not that people who don't have money or power to make up for it. Those from poor families were drawn from two out of three, four out of five, and even those who were not yet 18 years old were arrested.
The poor couldn't stand it, so they tried every means to evade military service, and some took girls' names from an early age, grew long hair and wore floral clothes; Some families fled to the mountains and forests to live.
Some fled on their own and did not return home for several years; Later, the armor protection system became stricter and stricter, and it was difficult to escape, and those who could not escape would mutilate themselves, such as cutting off their fingers or gouging out an eye, to evade military service.
Perhaps we can't understand their behavior in peacetime, because in peacetime, it is very safe to be a soldier, there is no fear of life, and there is also the welfare of demobilization and returning to the locality.
But in the era of continuous wars at that time, sending a man or son out to be a soldier is basically equivalent to sending him out to be cannon fodder, and there are very few people who can become officers without dying, and most of them are disabled for a lifetime in addition to death.
Therefore, it is also cost-effective to cut off your fingers and gouge out an eye without being a soldier in exchange for your own life. Therefore, this soldier is not recruited every year, what should I do?
As a result, an industry was derived, and some people made a living by selling strong men, one was to sell themselves, sign up by themselves, and immediately get two oceans, bribe officials on the way to send troops or after entering the camp, and then flee back and sell strong men again.
After the second time, you can also apply for someone else's name, collect money at both ends, and bribe and escape halfway; Of course, there are also those who are unlucky, and they encounter a war before they can get away on the way, so they have to go to the battlefield and resign themselves to fate, after all, it is a business, and there are risks.
There is also a kind of strong man, who sells others, uses deception or coercion to arrest people, and sends them to the army, and can also get a sum of money by selling a person's head.
Sangou They just fell for someone else's deception, and it is estimated that the friend of Boss Chen's friend is doing this kind of business, pretending to be looking for a porter for the army, but in fact, he joined forces with the officers in the army to deceive those honest people who are porters.
In normal times, an old Jianghu like Niu Gu would definitely not agree to be a porter for the troops, because most of the things done for these military masters will not be paid, and you don't dare to make trouble, so you can only admit that you have suffered a loss.
It's just that I need to get out this time, so I have to take over such a business, thinking, even if I get to Shangrao, I won't give money if I don't give money, just go home.
Unexpectedly, he was deceived and sold; The one written in black and white, there is no way to overturn the case, if you come hard, you will definitely suffer, and you will be charged with desertion, but you have to eat a gun.
In a hurry, he hurriedly called out to Adjutant Lin and pleaded:
"Please ask Chief Lin to intercede for us in front of the regiment commander, we have indeed been wronged, it is best to let us go, it is really not good, see if we can change the unit, we have already formed a bond with that Cao Company Commander, if we go back to him, we will definitely be killed."
Adjutant Lin paused and looked at it for a while, and said, I will report your opinions, whether it can be done or not, I don't know, so I can't promise you first.
"Okay, okay, thank you so much! Chief Lin. Niu Gong kept waving his hands, a thousand thanks.
……
After waiting for a difficult half a day, I didn't expect to wait for the arrival of Niu Gu's transportation team, and all of them returned to the establishment of the transportation company. At this time, everyone exploded again, resolutely disobeying, and Niu Gu was also very unhappy, and took the lead in leading everyone to resist this order.
When everyone saw the people from the transportation company coming to lead the people, they didn't leave, saying, ask Company Commander Cao to speak in person, that Company Commander Cao, knowing that he had deceived them, and now that they know, he dared to show his face, let alone come to the group of people in Niu Gu, otherwise he would be beaten to death.
This Cao Company Commander, the original wishful thinking, thought that he would be able to kill this group of porters who looked honest, but he didn't expect to be fierce.
The second step is to use the people under his hands to give them a dismount, kill their prestige, and let them obey and eat dumb losses, but I didn't expect that this batch of cowards under my hands was not powerful, but was beaten half to death by others, and it was really embarrassing to lose face.
If all the places are all in the transportation area, there will be more than 100 people in three rows, and they will all be pulled over, and they will not be able to figure out their class?
The problem is that under him, the commander of the transportation company, all the people are only one platoon, and there is a shortage of two-thirds of the quota, how can there be a shortage? It's not that you can't recruit soldiers, even if you recruit them with all the difficulty, you will escape halfway.
His row is a fellow recruited by himself when he returned to his hometown, so he can follow him and won't go. But the old recruits of the transportation company are not satisfied with the number of soldiers, and the superiors have opinions, and if they are not satisfied, they will demote him to the commander of the transportation platoon, but the number of the transportation company will still be retained.
This made Company Commander Cao so anxious that he spent a lot of money to get a company commander in charge, but he couldn't give Huang because of this.
I can't help but complain to my boss, although my transportation company is missing two platoons, but you have also taken a lot of benefits, and the military salary issued here is according to the full amount of more than 100 people.
The military salary I received was only about 40 people, and most of the rest was not taken away by you, so it's no wonder that you want to keep the number of the transport company, my heart is too dark.
The first few times I came up to check the number of people, it wasn't that I temporarily asked someone from outside to fill the number, and I couldn't borrow a few cooks from you.
It's just that when I usually transport, I don't have enough manpower, and I spent a little money on people outside, so I feel distressed, and I want to remove me from the position of company commander, which is really a black-hearted ghost who crosses the river and demolishes the bridge. How can there be so many good things to let the horses eat less grass and run harder?
