Chapter 34: Wooing
In the following days, the wind was calm and quiet, the things Tang Cheng was worried about did not happen, and Lu Yong still occasionally got together with his soldiers for a small meeting as usual, but he definitely didn't want to turn his face with Liu Goat. Tang Cheng has been secretly watching Lu Yong and the people of the Sichuan army, he doesn't care about other things, as long as these people are in danger of himself and Liu Goat, the shell gun that Tang Cheng wipes every day will definitely fire.
Maybe he really felt that Mengcheng couldn't be saved, Li Linge had been desperately sending ammunition to the barracks these days as if he didn't need money, and the family members sent by the Li family had to shoot more than 200 rounds of ammunition every day, and the recoil of the rifle had already made many of them have red and swollen shoulders and unbearable soreness. "It's just a few days of pain now, if you meet a little devil, with your marksmanship, you can only go to death and continue to practice." Under the coercion of Liu Goat's leather whip, the Li family's family members could only continue to practice marksmanship as he said.
The fish belly white on the horizon had just appeared, and Liu Goat kicked open the door of those families as usual, urging them to get up and train with the leather whip in his hand. "Company Commander Liu, there is a car outside, saying that Li Linge wants to see you." Liu Goat, who was standing with his back to his back, was urging those families to disassemble their guns, and a Sichuan soldier under Lu Yong hurriedly ran over, saying that Li Linge had arrived at the door of the barracks.
"Looks like things have changed again." Looking at the seemingly leisurely Li Linge from a distance, Liu Goat couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart. A few days ago, Li Linge was so anxious that his mouth was foaming, and these days he has been sending bullets to the barracks one after another to urge him to step up training those family members, but today's Li Linge looks like he is relaxed, and he looks like he has nothing to do.
"Sir Liu, Li took the liberty of disturbing and causing you trouble." Li Linge didn't wait for Liu Shange to speak, but he came to a few words first, no matter what Li Linge was, these words made people feel very comfortable. "This is the first time Li has come to Chief Liu, and it is not a tribute to be a little polite, and I hope that Chief Liu will accept it with a smile." Li Shun, who came with Li Linge, hurriedly handed a gift slip to Tang Cheng beside Liu Goat, but he firmly remembered Tang Cheng's appearance.
The long gift list was densely filled with words, including cigarettes, wine, vegetables, fruits, and other miscellaneous items that could be used normally, and Tang Cheng valued the telescope at the end of the gift list the most. Liu Goat's telescope was originally an old item snatched from someone else's hand, although Jiujin was like protecting the telescope like a lifeline, but after all, it couldn't be compared with the new guy, if the telescope sent by Li Linge was a new item, Tang Cheng was thinking about whether to snatch the old one for his own use.
"President Li is polite, we are old acquaintances, why be so polite." Liu Goat politely said a few words, and in Tang Cheng's face full of entanglement, he accepted the things brought by Li Linge. Tang Cheng saw that Liu Goat agreed to accept those shots, and he didn't care that Li Linge was still there, so he immediately rummaged through the telescope in the carriage. Liu Goat sneered at Li Linge with some shame, "My nephew has always been so frizzy, which makes Chairman Li laugh." ”
Li Linge shook his hand indifferently, "There, there, I think that Chief Liu's nephew must be a great talent in the future, the so-called is to go out of the door, just look at the spirit and spirit can not be wrong, Li is very envious when he looks at it, or Chief Liu, you are blessed." Tang Cheng's performance in the Li family's hall that day was all in Li Linge's eyes, as well as what happened in the Hongyun Casino, Li Linge also listened to Xie Lan carefully say that his interest in Tang Cheng was no less than that of Liu Goat.
The two sides exchanged a few words, and Liu Goat was just about to beckon Li Linge to go into the barracks to speak, but was stopped by Li Linge, "Sir Liu, I can't hide it, I came to you today mainly to introduce someone to you, this person is also a friend of mine, and he is a very good person." With Li Linge's words, the door of the car, which Liu Goat had not been paying attention to, opened, and a middle-aged man in a black tunic got out of Li Linge's car.
"This is Ge Kunshan, the new magistrate of Mengcheng County, and a good friend of mine, who was once the adjutant of the Marshal's Office when Mr. Zhongshan took office as the generalissimo. Later, he successively served as the chief of the management section of the Nanjing National Government, the senior adjutant of the general headquarters, the colonel's senator, the director of the Bengbu Public Security Bureau, and the county magistrate of Boxian, Fengtai, Dingyuan, Huoqiu, Fuyang and other counties. In 1933, he was elected as a delegate to the Constituent National Assembly, and now he is the official county master of our parents. Li Linge made an introduction to the middle-aged man, but Liu Goat didn't know anything about politics, so he naturally had no interest in Ge Kunshan.
"Company Commander Liu, I've heard of you for a long time, and when I saw you today, Ge was very happy." Ge Kunshan stretched out his hand to shake Liu Goat, and Liu Goat, who was full of polite words, frowned a little. If it were a person who was a little sensitive to politics, he would know from Li Linge's introduction just now that Ge Kunshan was a person with a big background, but unfortunately Liu Shanyang was a veteran ruffian from the bones, and how could he know what kind of character Ge Kunshan was when he didn't know anything about politics.
"Since you're here, please talk inside, let's all stand here what's going on." Although Liu Goat was not too interested in Ge Kunshan, he still accompanied Li Linge and Ge Kunshan to talk to the barracks with a smiling face. Liu Goat originally wanted to take Tang Cheng with him and let him see him for a long time. But Tang Cheng, who had already found the telescope, had already run away without a figure, he was in a hurry to find nine catties to replace the telescope, Lu Yong had been talking about the old telescope for a long time, Tang Cheng was afraid that he would be too late, and the thing would belong to someone else.
"Company Commander Liu, I'm here today mainly for the affairs of our Mengcheng militia." After the three of them sat down, under Li Linge's gesture, Ge Kunshan directly explained his intentions. "When I left the provincial capital, I learned that the Japanese army had been standing still since the capture of Suzhou, but the Japanese army attacking Shandong had already shown signs of continuing to move south, so we Mengcheng should also be prepared to deal with the Japanese attack." While Ge Kunshan spoke, Liu Shanyang couldn't stop nodding, Ge Kunshan's words coincided with his judgment.
"Earlier, most of the ** in our Mengcheng militia were hired by the Chamber of Commerce, and they had not received formal training, so they would be a disaster in the township, fortunately, there was Company Commander Liu, you acted in time, otherwise this Mengcheng would have been harmed by them into a bandit nest." Regarding the top hat given by Ge Kunshan, Liu Goat could only wave his hand again and again, saying that this was Li Linge's credit, but it had nothing to do with himself.
"County Magistrate Ge said with a smile, my old Liu is a martial artist, he can only fight as a soldier, what you just said is not me, it is President Li. If it weren't for President Li's help, my brothers and I would have become lonely ghosts a long time ago, where could we still sit here and chat and laugh with you, County Magistrate Ge. "Liu Goat is not a stupid person, if you say polite words, it is also a set, a polite shirk is listening to Li Linge smiled and secretly praised Liu Goat as a person with eyes.
"Then we won't mention any of this, I came today to ask Company Commander Liu to stay in Mengcheng temporarily and help us train those 300 newly recruited regiments. If the Japanese really regard Mengcheng as the target of their attack, we can't be unprepared at all, the new 20th Division has been transferred north to Xuzhou to standby, you are the only person in our Mengcheng who knows the troops, I hope that Company Commander Liu can help us with this great favor, I thank you first. Without waiting for Liu Goat to speak, Ge Kunshan bowed deeply to Liu Goat, and it was very important that Liu Goat did not agree, so he would not get up.
"Oh, County Magistrate Ge, what are you doing, you are the county magistrate Qingtian, how can you bow to me." Liu Goat immediately jumped up from the chair like a cat whose tail had been wiped, dodging to the side while beckoning Li Linge to help him persuade Ge Kunshan to get up. "President Li, President Li, help persuade me, isn't County Magistrate Ge doing this so that my old Liu will not be able to see people in the future? If the people of Mengcheng knew that the county magistrate of Daoge bowed to me, then they would not have to beat me to death. ”
Liu Goat pretended to be pretending to be at the same time scolding Ge Kunshan in his heart, who was also acting in his heart, he was just a captain of the national army, Ge Kunshan, a person who had been a representative of the National Assembly and is now the magistrate of Mengcheng County, saluted himself, what could this be if this was not a play. Li Linge, who is also cunning and cunning, also saw something unusual, but Liu Goat is the person he needs to win over now, and Ge Kunshan is also the help he needs, so he can only pretend to be confused now.
Under the persuasion of Li Linge and the mud, Ge Kunshan finally rushed back to the chair, but Liu Goat never let go of Ge Kunshan's request. "County Magistrate Ge, you also know that I am a member of the 88th Division, this is the order of our division subordinates, telling me to assemble the soldiers who have fallen behind in this area and return to the north, if I stay in Mengcheng all the time, if the above is to blame, I will not be able to cut off even nine heads." Liu Shanyang moved out of the 88th Division as usual, because he did not believe that Ge Kunshan had a way to contact the 88th Division.
The three of them spent a full two hours in the barracks, and finally reached an agreement, before the follow-up troops transferred to Mengcheng did not appear, Liu Goat would take Lu Yong and them to continue to stay in Mengcheng to gather and assemble the stratified troops of the national army, and in the case of the county government and the Chamber of Commerce to provide supplies, Liu Goat would help Mengcheng train the newly recruited regiments for a period of three months. "Damn, Lao Tzu is a deserter now." Looking at the car in the distance, Liu Goat, who was standing at the gate of the barracks and waving, couldn't help but scold.
