New Beginnings (21)

Lin Shenhe leaned back on the chair and sat very relaxed with Erlang's legs, if he looked nervous, he would inevitably let the people in front of him underestimate him. In terms of personality, Lin Shenhe himself can be classified as a more serious rank. had to pretend to be arrogant, which made Lin Shenhe really unhappy in his heart.

"Master Lin, we are looking for you today because we want to come to defect." A few people sitting across from him asked a little apprehensively. They are all gang leaders in the area of Fengyang Mansion, or former gang leaders. The gangs were supported by both financial and military support, and once the floods passed, the property in the countryside was basically wiped out. Naturally, this financial strength is needless to say, the People's Party is attacking everywhere, and now it is the largest violent gang in Fengyang Prefecture, and the gang is simply unable to compete. The situation of these former gang leaders was even worse, and they even had to run to the refugee camp in Fengtai County to survive.

"Have you done anything again?" Lin Shenhe asked seemingly indifferently.

"Master Lin, don't laugh at us, our brothers are convinced." The former gang leader replied embarrassedly.

These people have a reputation as gang leaders, and if they weren't under the BJP, they wouldn't have messed up too badly even in the refugee camps. Traditional porridge establishments always have all kinds of problems of bullying the weak, and they can get a lot of benefits by forming small gangs. If you are lucky, you can even collude with officials to take over the business of "maintaining order". That's the salted fish turning over. Of course, the premise is that it is not under the rule of the BJP.

Today, these people are completely convinced, as the saying goes, "a phoenix with falling hair is not as good as a chicken." "If the police effectively suppressed the scene of the refugee camp in the early days, since Lin Shenhe became the second-in-command of the police system, these characters who used to be regarded as heads and faces have been suppressed. The refugee camps have adopted a policy of focusing on crackdowns, that is to say, through action after action, focusing on key points and striking at various thorns in different times.

Before Lin Shenhe joined, the police system finally cracked down on those guys who robbed other people's rations. The method of striking this part of the population is also quite simple and clear, and after being caught, they will be hanged. In the camp of more than 100,000 refugees, less than 200 people were hanged, so that others no longer had the courage to rob it.

After Lin Shenhe took office, he launched an action to deepen order. The first round of crackdowns was against the thieves, and the refugees always had something of value on them. At least if it's something that refugees think is valuable, theft is the most likely to cause a commotion in a refugee camp. When the "valuables" they were carrying were lost, the refugees immediately felt that the sky had fallen. Relying on the attitude of "reactionary masses fighting the masses", Lin Shenhe co-opted the informant on the one hand, and recruited people to put on makeup to infiltrate the underground black market, and successfully cracked several theft groups. After a public trial in front of the refugees, the gang was sent to a "labor camp" for heavy manual labor.

Lin Shenhe investigated the more influential figures among the refugees, and absorbed some hardcover into the police system for those families who were overwhelmed. For those who are relatively lonely, a "talk" was conducted.

Knowing that it was impossible for them to hide behind their backs and manipulate them, and that it was impossible for them to stand up against the BJP directly, the former gang leaders also understood the situation, so they simply came to surrender. Facing Lin Shenhe, who was looking at the lazy one, these former heroes said respectfully: "Master Lin, people go to high places, and water flows to low places." With a figure like Lin Ye, we really want to defect to the People's Party. ”

Although Lin Shenhe was happy in his heart, he said coldly: "Our People's Party doesn't talk about old names, you will call me Comrade Lin in the future." Don't want anything Lin Ye, Lin Ye, we are not a gang. ”

"Yes, Comrade Lin. We really want to defect to the BJP. ”

"If you want to join the People's Party, you have to do things for the people. If you want, just join the police. At least you can eat enough. Lin Shenhe directly came up with a plan.

The "......" gang leaders were not interested in this suggestion. They felt that they didn't need to patrol with those juniors, and the police of the People's Party were not easy to do, "We are used to being wild, Master Lin, oh, Comrade Lin, being a police officer is only afraid of delaying your affairs." Can you let us do something else? ”

"And what do you want to do?" Lin Shenhe finally sat up straight from his chair.

"How about helping you in the war? I heard that the insurance group has recently conquered cities and conquered large territories. We can help you fight. ”

"Ha," Lin Shenhe smiled maliciously, "The insurance group is not a bandit, we are not fighting for ourselves, we are fighting for the common people." I won't hide it from you, you don't fight for yourself? Which of you thinks you're fighting to get a few acres of land, and then you can farm it well. I'm going to let you join the insurance group. If you want to be a grass king in this troubled world, then forget it. ”

Listening to Lin Shenhe's words, the leaders of the gang immediately became angry: "Master Lin, you look down on us!" Do you think our brothers are afraid of death? ”

"Call me Comrade Lin, don't call me Master Lin. I have something I want to ask you, our People's Party wants to go to Hefei, and I don't know which one is willing to volunteer to go to Hefei. ”

Hearing this, the gang leader's eyes immediately lit up, this was a good opportunity, and one of them immediately said: "I have friends in Hefei, and I am willing to go." I don't know what Comrade Lin is going to let me do? ”

"Do whatever you can, if you can lay down Hefei, that's the best."

"Then how many people do you give me, how many guns do you give me."

"When we arrived in Fengtai County, there were no people, no guns. If you feel that you have the guts, then you can start doing it first. ”

Hearing Lin Shenhe's words, the gang leaders looked at each other one by one, "Master Lin, are you entertaining us?" ”

"I'm telling the truth, how can I entertain everyone." Lin Shenhe finally looked a little more serious, "Everyone, if you think you can't do this business of conquering the city, then there is always a deal that can be done, right?" ”

After finally finishing the talk, Lin Shenhe felt quite tired. After sending the gang away, Lin Shenhe immediately went to report to Chen Ke. When reporting at the door, the guards stopped Lin Shenhe. "Dean Lin, Chairman Chen is talking about things. Please wait for a while. ”

"Okay." Lin Shenhe was about to stand outside the door and wait, but he heard the sound of the door being opened, Chen Ke stood at the door and said, "Come in." Comrade Lin Shenhe. ”

It was Yan Fu who was talking to Chen Ke in the room, and after the three of them sat down, Chen Ke asked, "Comrade Lin Shenhe, how did you talk to the gang members this time?" ”

Lin Shenhe reversed the kind of grinning appearance he showed in front of the gang leader, he sat up straight, first briefly introduced the conversation process, and then said very seriously: "Those people are full of thinking about how to rebuild the gang, and they don't really want to join us. Speaking of which, it's just trying to borrow our strength. As far as I am concerned, these people are scourges. ”

"Then Comrade Lin Shenhe has any ideas?" Chen Ke asked with a smile.

Lin Shenhe replied neatly, "I think these people can't help it, if they give these people a chance, something will definitely happen." Just send them out and get rid of them secretly on the way. Now that the flood has just passed, the road is not very peaceful. There's never been a better time. ”

Chen Ke only felt very satisfied when he heard this, this time to clean up the unstable factors in the refugee camp in the base area, it was the task that Chen Ke gave to Lin Shenhe, although Lin Shenhe's method was a little brutal, but in the short and long run, it was a very desirable plan. In the short term, the core of the unstable factor is eliminated, and the effect is immediate. In the long run, gangs have always been milky and mothers, and the new system advocates that "laborers are the most glorious", and one of the two sides hopes to get something for nothing, and the other wants to make every effort to develop the productive forces, and in the end they will definitely not be able to pee in a pot. Now is indeed a good time to clean up these people. In the future, when the rule of law is implemented, it will be very troublesome to kill people. However, Chen Ke's heart suddenly moved, Lin Shenhe's thoughts could be said to his heart, and this feeling was not very good.

Yan Fu frowned slightly, Lin Shenhe's thick eyebrows and big eyes are quite handsome, no matter how you look at it, he should be a righteous and awe-inspiring character, not so ruthless. But when it comes to assassination, Lin Shenhe doesn't care about it, and even has a sense of openness that should be so open. This can't help but make Yan Fu feel very uncomfortable. However, Yan Fu was not easy to intervene in such matters, he looked at Chen Ke's thoughtful expression, and silently guessed Chen Ke's thoughts.

Chen Ke was indeed thinking about things, even a person like him who hated the Manchus could not help but admit one thing, the Manchus did not have secret agencies. But every time he acknowledges this fact, Chen Ke has to explain a little that the absence of a secret service means that the effectiveness of the government is greatly weakened. It is one thing to absolutely not build a lawless and random secret service agency, but it is another thing to establish a special service agency.

However, most of the comrades in the base areas are relatively masculine in temperament, and the head of the secret service must not have this kind of character. As a relatively shady job, historically, the party's secret service organs were in the hands of Premier Zhou, a handsome man with a black belly. Lin Shenhe is just a new comrade, no matter how capable he is, he does not let Chen Ke feel at ease. But the situation has changed so much recently, and if there is no such organization, it is indeed inappropriate.

Turning his head to look at Yan Fu, Chen Ke felt that he still had to hurry up and establish this organization. The attack on Anqing was a planned task, and after the defeat of Anqing, the enemy was not only the Manchus, but also the dealings with those revolutionary parties would inevitably increase. The revolutionaries of this period had a common trait, that is, they were keen on assassination. Moreover, in history, these people carried out assassinations against the Manchus, and not long after the revolution was slightly "successful", assassinations between various "revolutionary comrades" began. In particular, the two major forces, the Alliance and the Restoration Society, are both famous for their assassinations.

In the news brought back by Yan Fu, King Yue has all joined the Alliance, and Tao Chengzhang, the famous leader of the Guangfu Society, is also full of interest in Anqing.

"Then what is Comrade Lin Shenhe going to do now?" Chen Ke asked.

Lin Shenhe did not shy away from it, he still said seriously: "I can't intervene in civil affairs matters, but I want to ask, when will these victims return to their hometowns?" We should also make some preparations first, in fact, there are many people among these victims who are willing to live a good life, and it is better to organize them now than to do it later. ”

"Comrade Lin Shenhe, I will discuss this issue at the party committee. Your job now is to ensure the security of the base area after the departure of our main force. So write a report as soon as possible. What should be done, what should be prepared, and what adjustments should be made should be clearly written. ”

"Yes, Chairman Chen." Lin Shenhe knew that this was also an eviction order, and he then asked, "Is there anything else you want to order?" ”

"Hurry up and get this done, you can go down."

After Lin Shenhe went out, Chen Ke turned to Yan Fu and said, "Mr. Yan, I have a view that is close to Comrade Lin Shenhe, and the gang is unreliable. My proposition has always been that of relying on mountains and mountains, and relying on rivers and rivers. But the idea of the gang is to rely on the mountains to eat the mountains and rely on the water to eat the water. You're not all the way. This time we are going to lay down Anqing, so I must not hope for Yue Wang Hui, no matter what Yue Wang will think, we must put everything on our own plans. Only one's own strength is the only one that can be relied on. ”

Chen Ke said very frankly, although Yan Fu was also hard working, and the news he brought back was not bad. But Chen Ke still said very politely, and he didn't estimate anyone's face at all.

After hearing this, Yan Fu nodded thoughtfully, "Chairman Chen, I also have this idea. "This is not Yan Fu's politeness, this is Yan Fu's heart.
