The old housewife walked out after making tea, and soon gathered a table of meals, coarse tea and light rice, with greens, mushrooms, potatoes, and an egg, to make four dishes, the staple food was a large bowl of noodles. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

For Yang Chao, it seems lighter, but who usually eats and cooks, Yang Chao knows that the Zhang family has broken the bill again.

After eating, Yang Chao said to the old couple that he still had some things to do, and he had to let his son do it, so he said goodbye first.

The old couple said a few polite words, and finally said that it was important to get down to business, and let his son follow Yang Chao to do things well, and break his legs if he didn't do well.

Yang Chao asked Zhang Guozhu to take him to visit several other families, these families have one thing in common, that is, all of their children have been soldiers and Hua Yong, but they all ran back, and Zhang Guozhu is the only one in this village who is still a soldier in Qingdao.

Yang Chao wants to bring these people back.

The first family suffered a defeat, and the family was enthusiastic, but unfortunately their son was not in the village, but went to work in Gaomi, and he could not return until the summer harvest.

There are a total of five people who have served as soldiers in the village, in fact, the basic situation is like this, the Chinese people like to get together, one person goes, the others follow, and those who do not take the lead often do not go to the development.

I went to the second house, but there was no one at home, so after inquiring, I was busy working in the fields.

This is not the busy season of farming, and his family is repairing the house, so they all go to the field to dig mud.

Yang Chao and Zhang Guozhu fortunately went directly to the ground, and saw a few young and strong young men, shirtless in the weather in February and March, sweating all over, with a pestle and mud with a stone hammer, and there were also men and women in their forties helping on the side.

"Black Bull, come here."

Zhang Guozhu shook his throat, and a man who was pestle and pestle looked up, with a dark face showing a knowing smile.

"Erzhuzi, you're back. Still not going? ”

Zhang Guozhu said: "Of course I went, my eldest brother will marry a daughter-in-law next year, and I will have to spend money." ”

Hei Niu was a little regretful: "I thought you weren't going either, just to help me." ”

After speaking, he buried himself in the work in his hand and ignored Zhang Guozhu.

Zhang Guozhu couldn't hold back his face, and shouted loudly: "It's almost dry, come over first." Mr. Yang is here. ”

The black bull threw down the stone pestle impatiently and had to come over, muttering as he went.

"What's the hurry, I'm busy."

While complaining, he moved slowly.

"Black Bull, this is Mr. Yang, and he is the advisor of our company."

Before the black bull arrived, Zhang Guozhu couldn't wait to introduce Yang Chao to him.

Yang Chao smiled at Hei Niu: "Hei Niu, I am the company advisor, I want to ask you, are you still willing to go back?" ”

As soon as he heard it, the black bull also showed a yearning, but then he shook his head.

"Don't dare to go back, you want to eat military law!"

In fact, where the Germans are soldiers, the money earned is much better than working elsewhere, where can they find a job for eight taels of silver a month?

Therefore, many soldiers who left actually have some regrets in their hearts, especially when they can still eat enough in the army, they can only be hungry and full at home, eat porridge when they are busy, and eat dry when they are busy, and they are still a little unaccustomed to eating in the army canteen.

But they are afraid of military law, because they also know that the military law of the German devils is very strict, and they will definitely be punished if they should be punished, they are deserters, and many people will be shot if they go back.

Yang Chao seriously promised: "Don't worry, with me, no one dares to govern your military law." ”

Hei Niu couldn't help but be a little tempted, but he was still not very relieved, and looked at Zhang Guozhu.

Zhang Guozhu snorted coldly: "What Mr. Yang said counts, Mr. Yang is an adviser, and he only listens to the governor and the major." ”

Hei Niu was stunned: "Then Mr. Yang is sitting in the third position?" ”

Yang Chao couldn't help but wonder, in the end, he was from Shandong, and Liangshanbo was in the first place.

But at this time, it was necessary to convince the black bull, and Yang Chao could only follow his words: "That's right, I only listen to the governor." The company commander was just on the same level as me. ”

Hei Niu couldn't help but say: "Then you are older than the company commander?" Is it really a military law that does not cure me? ”

Yang Chao promised: "My words count, as long as you are willing to go back, the military salary will be received as before, and the food will be full." ”

Hei Niu was even more tempted: "Then I have to talk to my mother." ”

Yang Chao smiled: "I'll wait for your letter and say hello to your family for me." After thinking about it, go to Erzhuzi's house to find me. ”

After Yang Chao finished speaking, he didn't want to say hello to the Black Bull family, because this family was famous in the village and couldn't talk well.

The main reason is that time is tight, but there are several families in Zhangjiawan Village to visit.

Two more walks, this time with good luck, the main owner is at home.

It's just that the two families are still very hesitant, in fact, they are mainly afraid of going back and being punished, they have their own reasons for running back, and they can't stand the long-term regular military life is a very important aspect, but after returning home, they began to miss the military camp, and their families were also strapped for the lack of that expensive military salary.

Both of them were very tempted, but they refused to give Yang Chao a guarantee.

Yang Chao was a little frustrated, it was not good to be a teacher, and the people's sense of prevention was too strong.

It's been out for a long time, and it's getting dark in the afternoon, and Yang Chao plans to go back to Zhang's house.

As a result, I met a black bull outside the gate of Zhang's house.

Hei Niu promised to go back to the barracks, because his family was repairing the house, and the economy would be a little tense after that, and his sister-in-law had a lot of opinions about him eating and living in vain at home, and his parents dared not speak out because of the intimidation of his sister-in-law's family, so Hei Niu told his parents, although they were worried, they still agreed, and agreed that Hei Niu would leave immediately.

Finally had the first harvest, Yang Chao said goodbye to the second elder of the Zhang family, and immediately took the black bull to the car and returned to Qingdao.

Although he only brought back one person on the first day, it still surprised Falkenhayn and became more supportive of Yang Chao's persuasion.

After placing the black bull and letting him return to the team, the next day Yang Chao continued to take the soldiers back to their village to persuade the deserters.

For ten days, only eleven people were recalled.

And the reason why these people fled from the army, Yang Chao also roughly figured it out, some of them couldn't stand the regular life of the army, some were dissatisfied with the discrimination of foreigners, and another was because of the coercion of local conservative forces, this kind of thing happened in several villages, and the local government sent people to threaten their families, telling them to be careful of being cleaned up as officials for foreigners, which is the case in Gaomi County.

After another ten days, although they were not summoned again, a dozen or so people took the initiative to contact them, and after obtaining permission, they also returned to the army.

In this way, thirty people were recalled, and the remaining ones who did not come back really couldn't come back.

Thirty people were recalled, and the number of soldiers in Huayong Company reached more than 100 people, and Yang Chao's work was recognized by Falkenhayne, after all, this unit was formed by him, and from the German royal family to the staff headquarters attached great importance to it, and he did not want to see this unit abolished, so he paid attention to this unit here, obviously he saw hope again, even if it was a very slim hope.

In the face of the ridicule of the British, he actually didn't want to admit defeat in his heart.

It's just that Falkenhayne's attention, in the eyes of Captain Werner, is becoming more and more hostile to Yang Chao.
