Chapter 56: The Second Cow Village
Major General Zhang Binglin came uninvited and offered to help Hu Fei lead the troops at the wine table. Of course, Hu Fei couldn't be happier with this request. If Zhang Binglin has the intention of annexing his troops, he can say in front of him that he can still oppose Hu Fei?
Even if you don't mention the identity of the young master, just because he is the division commander and he is the brigade commander, Zhang Binglin only needs one sentence to merge his ninth brigade into the division, then no one will have any objections! In the current Volunteer Army, the brigade commanders and regiment commanders who want to follow Zhang Binglin don't know how many Lu Dao there are, and the young generals don't look down on them! If you are not able to fight well and are truly capable, you will not be able to enter the eyes of others at all!
"Of course I can't ask for the help of the major general! Come, Major General, let's have a drink! ”
"Don't call the major general! You don't scream badly, I hear it awkwardly! Don't look at the surname Zhang, we are 108,000 miles worse than the young marshal. What a young general, a lot of generals, you just call me Brother Binglin is better than anything! Here, cheers! ”
A few people pushed glasses to change the glasses, and the joy of drinking a meal continued, and the joy dispersed.
The next day, Zhang Binglin came to Hu Fei's Ninth Brigade. Hu Fei took the major general to introduce the main officers under him one by one, so that both sides got to know each other.
Of course, the main thing is to let Zhang Binglin know these people, as for the young master, who doesn't know them? Usually you know people, but people don't know you! Now that they finally had the opportunity to speak face to face, these low-ranking officers all looked like they had seen a big star, and their eyes were shining with excitement.
After Zhang Binglin met with the officers, Hu Fei set off with Sun Laoliu and Feng Quan. Of course, they are not the only ones, and there is a small follower among them, which is Wang Wenhua, the orderly soldier received by Hu Fei. Hu Fei took this woman with his own thoughts: there are men and women to not attract attention, if only three big men enter the city, it is easy to be suspicious of the enemies in the city.
This time I had experience in going to Niuzhuang again, and Hu Fei and a few people went directly from the back of the town, without going through the city gate in front. Although the battle has only been fought for a short time, Niuzhuang has already washed away the smoke of war and re-displayed a peaceful scene.
The patrols of the puppet army and devils on the streets passed by a team every short time. On both sides of the bridge, there are many shops, and all kinds of signboards and banners hang all over the streets. There is a steamed bun shop under one guise, a small restaurant under two guises, and a large restaurant under four guises; There are many shops of various names, such as oil mills, clothing stores, jewelry stores, and foreign car dealers.
There were many young people coming and going on the streets, riding bicycles that were rare in other cities at that time. If you just stand here and look at it, you can't believe it's just a small town.
Last time, Gou Tianxiao came back from Niuzhuang scouting and said that Liu Haichun's pie was delicious, and the first thing Hu Fei did when he came here today was to try this famous Niuzhuang pie.
After walking along the Taiping Bridge for a long time, I saw the word pie on the front of a store, which was Liu Haichun's pie shop. is a little different from what Gou Tianxiao described, there was no crowd queuing up to buy pies at the entrance of the pie shop, and the door of the store was also closed. It's a coincidence that he came all the way to try his pie and catch up with people closing their doors, right?
The guy from the Li Kee Oil Mill next to him saw a few people going back and forth in front of the pie shop, and knew that these people were here to buy pies. The enthusiastic oil mill guys came out and told Hu Fei that something had happened to the owner of the pie shop, and I heard that it was the bandits who had fornicated with the Japanese and arrested them!
Yo! I can't imagine that even the pie seller will let himself lose the battle and be burdened! If the battle is won, the devils will let them run away, where will the owner of the pie shop let him be arrested? While Hu Fei felt guilty, the idea of conquering Niuzhuang as soon as possible became even stronger!
Hu Fei, who wanted to eat pies but didn't eat them, went shopping between the shops on both sides of the Taiping Bridge. Try hats at cloak shops, buy melon seeds at roast shops, and check out Japanese Fuji bicycles at foreign car shops.
It's not that Hu Fei suddenly became interested in shopping, shopping can be regarded as a way to obtain information. Now, even if he ran to the entrance of the Japanese headquarters, he couldn't find out who the new puppet army leader in the town was. Can he ask the guards at the entrance of the Devil Command? Even if he asked, could the devil tell him?
The news in the market is often the most well-informed, and when you go shopping, you may get all the information you want to know. Hu Fei's eyes looked at the various products in the store, but his ears were paying attention to the various information said by the people around him.
Women are obviously a little more interested in shopping. Don't look at Wang Wenhua who doesn't talk much after Hu Fei, but those black eyes keep sweeping around the shops on both sides, and the expression on his face that he wants to go in and take a look can be seen as long as he is not blind!
Among the many shops there are two black doors, which look a bit like a large family. There are a few characters in black silk shirts and bloomers standing at the gate, who look like hooligans, just by looking at the appearance of these people, you can know that the characters in this gate are not easy to mess with.
Hu Fei didn't plan to come here to cause trouble. He's here to gather intelligence, not to teach hooligans. Seeing the situation at the door here, he stopped with a few people from a distance and turned back. It's not just a few of them, but there are quite a few people who have come here and turned back.
Not causing trouble doesn't mean not inquiring, Hu Feilai is here to inquire about things. Seeing a halal snack bar with a blue guise not far from the roadside, Hu Fei and a few people walked over and asked for a few meatball soups and ordered a few lamb skewers. While the guy came over with the soup, Hu Fei asked what the door next door was doing in a casual tone.
When the young man heard this, he quickly shook his head, and whispered to advise Hu Fei to inquire less, so as not to get into trouble! Of course, after Hu Fei took out a few copper coins as a tip, the young man told him in a hurry: In the iron gate next door is the Niuzhuang Branch of the Haicheng County Monopoly Bureau. He was in charge of the rationing of salt, oil, matches, liquor, alcohol, white flour, wheat and other necessities.
That is to say: if the merchants in the market want to deal in these goods, they must purchase goods from this monopoly bureau, and all goods purchased from other channels will be confiscated, and those who reach a certain amount will be arrested! What is a monopoly? It's called a monopoly!
The meal was unusually long. Hu Fei was a little absent-minded when he was eating, and Sun Lao Liu and Feng Quan were looking at Hu Fei. When Hu Fei finished eating, they also ate the last bite of the last thing; Hu Fei didn't stand up, and there were always a few pieces of food in the bowl of those two people who hadn't finished eating.
As for Wang Wenhua, girls originally chewed and swallowed slowly when eating, but now it is the first time to go out to eat with Hu Fei, isn't it even slower! This girl can't wait for this meal to be eaten until the earth is desolate!
