Chapter 30: War is imminent
Gai Longquan is really not ambiguous, he took people across the river that night, tied up the sixth child on the bed in a brothel in the south of the Yangtze River, and the poor sixth master received a reward of 5,000 oceans before he was hot, and he was a prisoner under the stairs, and when he was arrested, he used a knife and bled out, plus he traveled dozens of miles at night, which made him even more embarrassed.
The officers gathered around and were ready to ask for a favor for the sixth master, but Chen Zikun said that the matter had been handed over to Gai Longquan to deal with, and he didn't ask.
Gai Longquan didn't say a word, and immediately brought people back to the camp.
In the office, Chen Shou asked: "Dashuai, Gai Longquan has always protected calves, if he doesn't punish the sixth child, your twenty sticks will be in vain." ”
Chen Zikun said: "It's right to protect the people below, but if the rules are broken, you shouldn't be, the head of the group is a person who wants to be faced, I believe he will deal with it impartially, Chen Shou, you kid is ruthless enough, beat me so much that I can't sit on a chair now." ”
Chen Shou smiled wryly: "I understand what you mean, this board is for Gai Longquan to see, you can't be sloppy, otherwise you will really suffer in vain." ”
The two smiled at each other.
……
On the school field of the big camp outside the city, the old six and five flowers were tied up and knelt on the ground, his face was covered with blood, but he had no fear, and he greeted the people who came and went from time to time with a smile.
After a while, Gai Longquan walked over surrounded by a group of brothers, looked down at the sixth brother, and asked calmly, "Sixth brother, what else do you have to say?" ”
The sixth said proudly: "Big brother, I can't stand you, everyone Zhao'an is eating and drinking spicy, our Zhao'an is poor, there is no money to eat meat and drink, no money to be a girl, this official army is not appropriate, the south side of the country is not right, I brought 500 guns to throw over, and immediately ordered 1,000 cash to me, and let me be the battalion commander, big brother, I see that you have also passed over, just with the ability of our brothers, it is not guaranteed that you will be a division commander, not ten times stronger than being a bird regiment commander in Jiangbei." ”
"Slap" Gai Longquan slapped his face, and blood oozed from the corners of Lao Liu's mouth.
"Sixth brother, are you still talking about human words, I Gai Longquan came out to roam the rivers and lakes, what I relied on, it was a righteous word, and now I am an official and an army, relying on a loyal word, you are not loyal and unrighteous, what face do you have to live in the world, big brother will send you on the road."
A saber was handed over, Gai Longquan Canglang Lang drew the knife in his hand, and the sixth child's face turned pale, and then he understood that the eldest brother was going to play the real game.
The officers knelt down together: "Big brother, spare the sixth brother, he is also confused for a while." ”
Gai Longquan was unmoved, and said coldly: "Sixth brother, close your eyes, the eldest brother has a fast hand and does not hurt." ”
The sixth knew that he was going to die, so he sighed and said, "Big brother, brother has gone first." ”
Gai Longquan raised the steel knife with a blushing face, and was about to slash down when he suddenly heard a shout: "Keep people under the knife!" ”
It turned out to be Chen Zikun who came.
Chen Zikun looked at the knife in Gai Longquan's hand, and then looked at the sixth man who was kneeling on the ground like ashes, and said, "Captain Gai, what are you doing here?" ”
Gai Longquan said: "I am enforcing military law and executing this black sheep to set an example. ”
Chen Zikun said: "Put the knife away." ”
Gai Longquan was born in a big boss, and immediately understood Chen Zikun's intentions, and he wanted to make himself sing red-faced, since the play is open, let's play to the end.
"Protector, the sixth sin is not forgiven, if you don't kill him, the army's heart will be chaotic!" Gai Longquan was heartbroken.
Chen Zikun said: "If our brothers get along, we will fight the world together, and if we can't get together, we will break up in two, and there is no need to kill people, Sixth Master, I know that you are greedy for wealth and nobility to take refuge in the south, not sincerely demolishing my Chen Zikun's platform, right?" ”
The sixth child grabbed the life-saving straw and nodded busily: "Dashuai, I was confused for a while, I was blinded by lard, I can't live with you, I can't live with Boss, I can't live with the brothers, I damn ......"
Gai Longquan snorted coldly: "You also know damn it." ”
Chen Zikun said: "The brothers are used to living a hard life, and they can't see the ladies and the ocean, this blames me, the sixth master, you get up first, we will talk about your affairs later, and we will be serious first." ”
As he said that, he waved his hand, and several mule carts rushed over, the ruts were very deep, and the mules were also very hard, and the carriages were closed, and I don't know what they were loaded.
Several horses jumped on the cart, raised their axes and cut off the pins, and countless silver dollars poured out of the breach, quickly piling up on the ground, and the crisp sound of the silver dollars colliding with each other was endless, and everyone's eyes were dazzled by silver light, staring blankly at the more and more mountains of silver piled up on the ground.
A full 100,000 oceans were piled up on the school yard to form a magnificent silver mountain.
More and more soldiers gathered on the school ground, Nantai is a poor place, many people have never even seen what a silver dollar looks like in their lives, let alone seen a silver mountain, even Gai Longquan and other well-informed leaders, when they were the richest, they only got tens of thousands of yuan, how could they have seen this battle.
All the doubts, anxiety, worries, anger, and complaints were swept away in an instant, and the silver mountain made them happy, smiling, so much silver, how to send it is enough, and worry about having no money to drink wine, sleeping girls.
The sixth child was also dumbfounded, if he wasn't tied, he couldn't wait to whip himself a few big mouths, he was the battalion commander of the second regiment, according to the military rank, he should be paid 100 yuan a month, and then think of a way from being a soldier, how could he get three or four hundred yuan a month, and sell himself for a thousand yuan, it is really not worth it.
Chen Zikun was very satisfied, and this was what he wanted, and after all the officers and men of the brigade had seen the mountains of silver piled up by 100,000 oceans, the assembly horn sounded, and the adjutant announced that Major General Chen Zikun, the army envoy and brigade commander, would personally pay everyone.
The salary standard of the Seventh Mixed Brigade was set in strict accordance with the regulations of the War Department, with the salary of the chief soldier ranging from 6 yuan per month, the salary of the horsemen and the military craftsmen of the Ma Ben gang ranging from 8 yuan to 10 yuan, and the number of officers to the rank of officer was even more, the platoon commander had 30 yuan, the company commander had 70 yuan, and the major officers like Gong Zijun had as much as 100 yuan, Chen Shou was a lieutenant colonel and could get 200 yuan, and Gai Longquan was one level higher than him and received 500 yuan, which was more than the average university professor.
The salaries of senior officers are not received here, Chen Zikun only pays the soldiers, and he is followed by two people, carrying a tray full of the ocean, one by one, not only sending the ocean, but also chatting with the soldiers, patting the shoulder and encouraging them, many soldiers are moved to tears, and they feel that they have met a good handsome.
Chen Zikun seemed to guess what they were thinking, and said in public: "Brothers, what is the old background of our Seventh Mixed Brigade, everyone knows it, so I don't want to use any military discipline to restrain everyone, I just have two rules, one is not allowed to spoil the people, and the other is not allowed to drink the blood of soldiers, do not hinder these two articles, whatever you fool around, but if anyone dares to violate these two articles, hum, the common people are my parents, and the soldiers are my brothers, Whoever provokes them, just one word, kill! ”
When Chen Zikun said this, the colonel was silent, although the soldiers of the first and second regiments were born with poles, they were still poor people in essence, and the words of the military envoy made them admire in their hearts, they were all rough people with guns, and they couldn't say anything beautiful, but their eyes looking at Chen Zikun were completely different from before.
The words are in place, and there is no need to send them one by one, Chen Zikun handed over the work of paying the salary to the chief of staff to do, and interrogated the sixth child himself.
"Sixth battalion commander, I won't punish you today, how did you kidnap the troops, how did you bring me back." Chan said.
"Yes, my sixth child was wrong once, and I will never do it again!" The sixth child picked up a life, and he dared to say half a word when he had palpitations.
Chen Zikun sent him away, and then called a meeting of the officers, and everyone received their salaries, and their spirits were different, and they were waiting to enter the city and go to Shanghai at night to do a great job.
"Brothers, I found out clearly, the opium field was burned by someone from the south, and Lao Tzu's two acres of land were burned, and hundreds of thousands of dollars were lost in the ocean." Chen Zikun looked around and said.
The officers gasped, and then their hearts were heartbroken, and their lust turned into hatred for the south: "Fuck it! Speak, handsome. ”
Chen Zikun said: "I estimate that there will be a battle in two months, the big guys are cheering up, don't use up all the strength on the girls, and when we fight the south of the Yangtze River and occupy the provincial capital, some are silver and girls, don't say much, the brothers just have a number in their hearts, and the meeting is dismissed." ”
After returning to the office, Chen Zikun secretly ordered Xue Bin to lead the pistol battalion to disguise himself as a peasant to set up an ambush near the poppy field, and ordered the security team to strictly check the foreign population.
Chen Zikun has a number in his heart.
……
The burning of the poppy fields was indeed done by Sun Dujun, and what happened in Jiangbei made him extremely worried, the opponent was developing too rapidly, far exceeding his own expectations, if the poppies were ripe and sold for a lot of money, this day would be even more impossible.
On this day, Sun Dujun was playing mahjong with his aunts and wives in the back house, and suddenly Adjutant Xia came to report, he asked Xiao Wu to touch two for him, took Adjutant Xia to the official room, sat on the master's chair and said in a deep voice: "Say, what's the matter." ”
Xia Jingqi said: "The soldiers of the 7th Brigade of the 1st Battalion who came over the water a few days ago ran back yesterday and abducted hundreds of sets of military uniforms......
Sun Dujun waved his hand: "The bandits are all repeated villains, it's just that, the surname Chen is enough for him to raise these people." ”
Xia Jingqi continued: "Several brothers who were sent to Nantai by the lowly position were arrested by the security team, and they were indiscriminately imprisoned in prison, and their eyeliner was broken...... In addition, the whereabouts of a platoon of brothers sent to burn the opium fields are unknown. ”
Sun Dujun's face became even more ugly: "Is there any other bad news, don't hide it." ”
Xia Jingqi said: "There is another matter, the brothers fought a battle with the cargo ship in the north on the river, killed a few bandits, and confiscated some things, please take a look." ”
Sun Dujun became interested: "Present it." ”
The two horses were carried into a wooden box, and inside was a peculiarly shaped spear, like a rifle and a machine gun, with a long barrel, and a thick and sturdy receiver, which could be seen to have been made of a single piece of steel, glowing with a glowing blue, and under the receiver was a long magazine, which could hold at least twenty rounds.
"What is this?" Sun Dujun wondered.
"I've looked it up in the dictionary, it's called browningautomaticrifle."
"Speak Chinese!" Sun Dujun waved his hand impatiently.
"It's the Browning automatic rifle, loaded with twenty rounds, which can be fired in bursts, and the range is very powerful, and the brothers have seized five of these guns, and a few boxes have fallen into the river and are being salvaged."
Inspector Sun's face was difficult to look at again: "The north has bought arms again, this kind of gun can be used as a rifle and a machine gun, we will suffer a big loss in the fight, it seems that we can't wait, the plan must be advanced." ”
