Chapter Twenty-Seven: Hold Steady and Talk
Qiao Anbang took Yali out of the barracks, got into the truck, and drove straight to the Qiao family compound.
It didn't take long for the truck to come to the outside of the compound, park the truck at the door, Joan Bang and Yali jumped out of the truck one after another, and then strode towards the compound.
As soon as he walked into the courtyard gate, Qiao Anbang was stunned by the scene in front of him, the entire Qiao family compound must have hundreds of square meters, and it was indeed crowded and bustling at the moment.
There were all kinds of people in the crowd, some were dressed as young students, some were rough-looking big men, especially among the students, there were many young girls.
There were many people and there were many discussions, and Qiao Anbang stepped forward, and the topic he heard the most about himself turned out to be about himself.
"You say, is this Qiao Anbang really an international student who came back from abroad?" A young man with eyes and a few companions were talking.
"Where the hell is this Qiao Anbang? A bandit hero who can capture and kill the bandit Wei Dexi in one battle. We'll see you. A big man said with a big grin.
"Doesn't it mean that there are advanced factory equipment here? Where? Let's go and see. ”
"Can you really give a salary of dozens of oceans a month?"
Qiao Anbang was confused when he listened, and looked up to catch a glimpse of where the second brother Qiao Anjia and Qiao Wu were hesitating and waiting for something at the entrance of the backyard.
Qiao Anbang pulled Yali and walked straight towards the exit of the backyard with his head down, and when he saw Qiao Anbang coming, Qiao Anbang's house seemed to grasp the life-saving straw: "Third brother, you can be counted as coming, I have found people for you, a total of more than 500 people, including more than 50 factory workers, more than 100 people who have served as soldiers, more than 30 blacksmiths who have made iron, and the rest are all young students and literate people." ”
Qiao Anbang followed the direction of Qiao Anjia's finger and glanced over the crowd one by one, only to find that there were not only young and strong men in the crowd, but also gray-haired old men.
Seeing Qiao Anbang's puzzled eyes, Qiao Anjia hurriedly explained: "Those old gentlemen are literate, and they can be regarded as cultural people. ”
Qiao Anbang nodded with a smile, and then asked, "Second brother, why do I hear that these people are talking about me?" What's going on? ”
"Third brother, don't you know, among these people, many people don't want to come, there is no way, second brother, I have to use a little means, and even coax and deceive them to come first." Qiao Anjia explained with a rich expression.
"I got it for you, it's up to you whether you can keep it or not. Okay, I'll leave it to you, I'll have to go see our dad. With that, Qiao Anjia fled as if he turned around and left.
"Alas, second brother, I still have something to discuss with you when I go back."
"Got it......" Qiao Anjia's voice did not disperse, and the person had already walked away.
Qiao Anbang looked back at the bustling crowd, shrugged his shoulders helplessly, and then walked towards the crowd with Qiao Wu.
Qiao Anbang passed through the crowd just now and had already attracted the attention of some people, and he saw Qiao Anbang coming over again, and there was a Qiao Wu behind him who brought them.
Suddenly, someone asked aloud: "Are you Qiao Anbang Qiao Hero?" ”
The person who asked the question was a strong man with a very loud voice, and his shout immediately attracted the attention of others.
Qiao Anbang came to the crowd and nodded with a smile on his face and replied, "The contemptible person is Qiao Anbang." ”
"Qiao Yingying, I heard that you went into the bandits' den alone, captured the big bandit leader, and rescued many women from good families, is this true?"
"Mr. Qiao, may I ask, have you come back from studying in the West? I heard that you are going to set up a factory, right? ”
As soon as Qiao Anbang's words fell, everyone immediately rushed to ask questions.
Qiao Anbang, who listened to it, had a big head for a while, and the second brother praised himself as a rare person in the sky and on the earth.
He nodded with an embarrassed smile, then cleared his throat and said aloud: "Everyone, please calm down and listen to the contemptible explanation." ”
When everyone saw Qiao Anbang speak, they all quieted down, and their eyes were all focused on Qiao Anbang.
Qiao Anbang paused calmly and said, "Everyone, first of all, I want to welcome your arrival, and secondly, I want to explain that I am not a hero of bandits, nor am I a Western student, I am just an ordinary Chinese like you."
Nowadays, the bandits in China are spreading, as a member of the local security group, it is the responsibility of our generation of soldiers to suppress bandits and ensure the safety of one party, Qiao Mou never dares to call himself a hero, the reason why I asked my brother to invite you to come this time is really because I need your help here.
To tell you the truth, we really want to open all kinds of factories and set up industries, so we need talents, and in addition, in order to be able to protect more people from the ravages of bandits and live and work in peace and contentment, we also need to expand the local security forces, so we also need soldiers, especially those who have served in the army.
I know that in the past, when you were a soldier, you followed the commander all day and night to fight and kill, and you were born and died, not only did you not get a dime of military salary, but you also had to be scolded as a warlord, Qiu Ba, but what I want to tell you is that as long as you join our security group, not only will you have more than a dozen yuan of moon rings every month, but from now on, there will be no more ordinary people scolding you and spitting on you, they will respect you and love you, because the mission of our security group is to maintain the peace of the party and protect the family and the country.
Friends who have worked in factories, I think you have also been oppressed by foreign bosses and unscrupulous foremen, doing the dirtiest and most tiring work, but getting the least wages. In the same way, I also tell you that as long as you stay here and work, not only will we have a high salary, but we will also be able to provide food and shelter for free, and you can also bring your family and relatives to live with you.
All in all, here each of you will get a satisfactory job, a high salary, and everyone will be able to do their best. ”
"He's right, the brothers were born and died with those bastards before, and those bastards didn't give us a dime. But he has a few aunts and wives, who eat fragrant and drink spicy food. The brothers are not living a human life. ”
"Brothers, shall we do it?" A group of men who had been soldiers talked about each other.
Those who have worked as workers are also hesitant to talk about it.
Seeing this, Qiao Anbang immediately said loudly: "Everyone, if you are willing to stay, you will pay a settlement allowance now, one hundred yuan per person, and it will be paid on time without the moon ringing in the future, and it will never be in arrears, Qiao Mou guarantees it with his reputation." ”
Qiao Anbang waved his hand as he spoke, and Yali walked out of the backyard with several heavily armed soldiers carrying several large baskets of white flowers.
Seeing the white ocean, those men who had been soldiers suddenly had a light in their eyes, and they raised their hands and said, "Sir, I have been a soldier, and I am willing to join the security regiment." ”
"I'd too... I would too...."
"I've been an artilleryman, and I'm willing."
"I can drive, and I do."
"However, I said ugly things in the front, once the settling-in allowance is paid, you will be regarded as a member of my security group, and from now on you must obey the military order, and you are not allowed to be a deserter, if not, the military law will be engaged in it, and the punishment will be severe!" Jo Anbang gave them a vaccination.
"Please rest assured, the soldier eats food and fights, it is a matter of course, what the commander asks the brothers to do in the future, despite the orders, go up the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire, the brothers have no two words!" An older man took the lead.
"Good! As long as you are a good soldier and do your duty, I, Qiao, will definitely treat you as my own brother, and I will never treat everyone badly. Qiao Anbang also solemnly stated.
"Fifth uncle, send them a settling-in allowance." Qiao Anbang waved his hand to Qiao Wuyi behind him.
"Yes!" Qiao Wu immediately responded and moved forward.
At this moment, the young students in the crowd suddenly snorted coldly: "Hmph, it turned out to be a guy with inflated ambitions and wanted to be a warlord, go, we don't have company with such people." ”
"Yes, let's go to the north, let's go to fight." As he spoke, the young students turned around and left.
"Wait!" Seeing this, Qiao Anbang hurriedly said something, how can a duck with a beak make you fly? Now there is no shortage of troops, but there is a shortage of educated youth.
"What? Reveal your warlord surname? The eyed four-eyed one stopped and turned to sneer.
"Everyone, I think you have misunderstood the contemptible, the contemptible people set up a security group, not to be a warlord, but now the country is worried about external troubles, there are heavy soldiers outside, and there are bandits inside and there are bandits, the formation of the security team is to be able to clear the bandits, and return the local people to peace, and then accumulate strength to strengthen training, and wait for the political axe military order, as long as the political axe military order, I, Qiao Anbang, should lead all the brothers of the security group to the north to resist, and there will be no regrets!" Qiao Anbang said solemnly.
"Hmph, that's a nice thing to say, who knows if you can do it." Four-eyed looked incredulous.
Qiao Anbang couldn't stop flickering, and suddenly his blood surged up in a hurry, picked up a broom in the courtyard, and said affectionately and solemnly in the face of everyone: "I, Qiao Anbang, swear here, if I don't resist in the future, I will do nothing, just like this!" With that, he struggled to break the broom in half.
After throwing away the broom, Qiao Anbang said to everyone sincerely: "Ladies and gentlemen, my father named my three brothers Anguo Anbang, which means that I hope we can shoulder the heavy responsibility of protecting the country and rejuvenating the country." Now that I am dead, my heart of China will not die, Qiao, as a Chinese man and a Chinese citizen, how dare he not think about defending the territory and defending the territory and have the ambition of being the king and hegemon? Now that the security corps has just been established, we need the participation of you learned people to grow and become stronger. The September 18 incident tells us that if we are backward, we will be beaten, so for the sake of the great plan of resistance in the future, and for the sake of the tens of millions of Chinese compatriots not to be enslaved by you, I beg you to stay. ”
Everyone was obviously moved by Qiao Anbang's sincerity, and the four-eyed stammered twice, and said, "I hope the chief can remember today's oath." ”
"Please rest assured, if Qiao can't do it, I will never stop you even if you leave on your own." Qiao Anbang pretended to be calm. My heart is already happy, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to leave you in the future.
