"You are all people trusted by the Niu squad leader, and I heard that you are also the strongest combat fighting force among all the stragglers in Macheng, so I invite you to join us, I can't promise you anything yet, but I can provide you with the best weapons, new military uniforms, enough ammunition and military salaries, and most importantly, I can give you a decent job." Niu Laogui's search for people was very fast, and before it was dinner time, all the manpower needed in Tang City was recruited by Niu Laogui to the hall of cyclamen.

Since following Tang Cheng, Niu Laogui, who had never been valued before, is like a different person, not only has he changed his new military uniform and steel helmet, but he has also gained a lot of confidence to speak, and Niu Laogui has an extra shell gun on his waist. No one wants to live like a flower child, but unfortunately the gate of the Macheng garrison is not so easy to enter, and the Macheng garrison is only responsible for food and housing, but it is not responsible for them to change their new uniforms and salaries.

Niu Laogui's change made many defeated soldiers in Macheng look red, not that no one came to the cyclamen to recommend themselves, but with the old northeast door god guarding the door, they couldn't even enter the gate of the cyclamen, let alone see Tang Cheng. Therefore, as soon as Niu Laogui said in the county town that the cyclamen group wanted to recruit people, the people who had an old relationship with Niu Laogui immediately grabbed their heads. "I've said so much, I don't know what you think?" With Lao Dongbei watching from the side, the people recruited by Niu Laogui would not dare to stare at Tang Cheng, but their silence made Tang Cheng a little puzzled.

"Don't talk so much about it first, get us something to eat first, and when we have a full stomach, we can talk about other things." A guy with a smile broke the deadlock and opened his mouth first, and the other people who were found by Niu Laogui nodded busily. A large pot full of hot noodle soup and a stack of baked cakes were eaten by these guys, and it was not until the last of them put down the bowl and Tang Cheng, who was sitting on the side and smoking, stood up.

"Guys, can you give me an accurate answer now?" Tang Cheng knew that he couldn't treat these defeated soldiers with such a spark, he should be like Liu Goat with a big grin and swearing, but unfortunately his age is a hard injury, even if he learns from Liu Goat, the other party should not agree or not agree to himself. If it were to make his own choice, I am afraid that he would not have entrusted his life to a guy who is only 19 years old.

A few of the defeated soldiers who were well-fed and well-fed really said that they would continue to think about it, but Tang Cheng had nothing, but Liu Shishi and Lao Dongbei were not happy. "Smoke, you also smoked, you also eaten, you have eaten and drunk enough, you said that you still have to think about it, you are playing with us, right?" The angry Liu Shishi pulled out the shell gun on his waist, just like Tang Cheng at the beginning, Liu Shishi is now more and more like Tang Cheng, and even the action of pulling out the gun is very similar to Tang Cheng.

"It's okay, you can think about it first, but I have a plan to act with the garrison group, I need the help of a few people who have fought in the war, don't do it in vain, and everyone can get at least 10 fast oceans after the battle." Tang Cheng stretched out his hand and pushed aside the shell gun in Liu Shishi's hand, revealing part of the anti-bandit action he had discussed with Commander Huang to these routs. "The garrison will send 150 people to participate in the suppression of bandits, and we will send out a light machine gun and a mortar, but I also need people like you who have fought to boost morale, so you must not miss the opportunity, you must think clearly."

Tang Cheng, who turned to go upstairs, stopped halfway through, turned around and said, "For the sake of the smooth plan to suppress the bandits, before we set off, I have to wronged you to stay in the cyclamen." If you dare to walk out of this door without my consent, not only will you be treated as deserters, but there will be no place for you in Macheng. Tang Cheng, who hurriedly went upstairs, sat down in the room before he remembered that there was a loophole in his plan, or it could be said that he had made a mistake.

Dealing with bandits can only lure snakes out of the hole, and this bait can only be the truck that Tang Cheng drove to Macheng, but Tang Cheng has promised to mortgage the truck to the Huang family during the suppression of bandits, which makes the plan to use the truck as bait twists and turns. Tang Cheng, who was alone in the anti-bandit operation, discovered this loophole, and in order to suppress the bandits, he had to visit Huang's house again, and lost the persuasion of Commander Huang to let him put the two trucks into the anti-bandit operation.

"Only the right bait can lure the bandits, otherwise it will only be a waste of work." Tang Cheng tried to persuade Huang Tuanchang, but the other party seemed to admit his life a little, no matter how Tang Cheng explained and persuaded him, Huang Tuanchang just nestled in the recliner and shook his pu fan, and did not respond to Tang Cheng's suggestion at all. "I want to see Madame Huang." Seeing that Head Huang did not answer, Tang Cheng had no choice but to retreat and ask for an interview with Mrs. Huang.

"This is my U.S. passport, and it is also my last reliance, I can use this instead of a truck to mortgage your Huang family, after fighting the bandits, the truck belongs to your Huang family, and you return the passport to me." Knowing that Mrs. Huang was a woman who had seen the world, Tang Cheng naturally didn't say much, just took out his passport and put it on the table and pushed it to Mrs. Huang who was shocked. I was also worried that handing over my passport to Madame Huang would cause trouble for me, but at this time, Tang Cheng had no choice, and without enough horses, they would not be able to reach Wuhan or continue south, and suppressing bandits was the only way to solve these problems.

Opened the passport and looked at it carefully, and Mrs. Huang, who looked normal, nodded at Commander Huang, "I went to a girls' school in Shanghai, and I have a few friends who have stayed abroad, and I have been fortunate enough to see what a passport looks like, but I didn't expect that Company Commander Tang still has an American identity, I really can't imagine it." After confirming the authenticity of the passport, Mrs. Huang's attitude towards Tang Cheng changed a lot, and she even asked someone to change a cup of coffee for Tang Cheng......

"Company Commander Tang, I'm curious why you want to stay in the country with a group of routs since you already have an American identity? Isn't going to the United States a better way out? Unlike Captain Huang, who is happy with the status quo, Mrs. Huang's curiosity seems to be heavier, and her words are full of curiosity and exploration about Tang Cheng's possession of this American passport.

As if tasting the taste of coffee, Tang Cheng, who was holding the cup of coffee, spoke for a long time, "I am an orphan, raised by my adoptive father Robert, just the day before the Battle of Shanghai, my adoptive father died at the hands of the Japanese, and I also got this passport on that day." I also have an uncle who is like a relative who also died at the hands of the Japanese army in Mongolia, so I will not leave China until the Japanese army is driven out of China, of course the United States will go, but that will be later. ”

Tang Cheng's answer made Mrs. Huang not know what to say for a while, and Captain Huang, who was nestled in the rocking chair, couldn't help but look sideways at Tang Cheng. "There are only three people left in the second company where I am located, and the former company commander, who is also my uncle, told me on his deathbed that I want to rebuild the second company, no matter whether I can rebuild the second company or not, I will send the roster of the second company to the old commander in Chongqing. Going to Chongqing is not just a matter of talking, I need money, horses, and manpower, so this crackdown on bandits must be carried out. ”

Macheng is a place that has not yet been affected by the war, so it is difficult for Captain Huang and his wife to understand Tang Cheng's mood at this time, but after careful consideration, Mrs. Huang still agreed to Tang Cheng's request on behalf of Captain Huang, but Tang Cheng's share of the spoils was reduced from 30% to 20%, and Tang Cheng also agreed to a request that seemed to be difficult to achieve. "Mrs. Huang, you must know that the attitude of Americans towards things is different from that of us Chinese, I can only say that I will introduce you to the consul, and you can only negotiate other things."

Mrs. Huang wanted Tang Cheng to introduce them to the consul of the U.S. Consulate in Chongqing, so that the Huang family could get shelter from the U.S. Consulate in times of crisis, which Tang Cheng was very happy to, but he could not guarantee that the U.S. consul would agree. Regarding Tang Cheng's irresponsible answer, the heroic Mrs. Huang replied with a smile, "You don't have to worry about this, I believe that the crows in the world are as black as the crows, and I have never seen anything that cannot be done with money." ”

Until Tang Cheng walked out of the gate of the Huang family, his mind was still flashing Mrs. Huang's heroic face, he still couldn't figure out how this woman could be so sure that the American consul would agree to their request, and Tang Cheng couldn't figure out how Mrs. Huang, who was just a landlord's wife, could have such courage to move her family to that unfamiliar place in the United States. Not only Tang Cheng couldn't figure it out, but even Tuanchang Huang couldn't figure it out either, so as soon as Tang Cheng left, Tuanchang Huang asked about what happened just now.

"Hanju, it's been 7 years since I married you, have I broken a penny of the Huang family in the past 7 years?" Mrs. Huang, who was asked, took a leisurely sip of coffee, "Do you remember my classmate who came to our house last spring?" Her family has long moved to the United States, where she lives well as long as she has money and ability, and there will be no war there all day. Let's go to the United States to spend money to buy a big farm, you are still your big landlord, I am your landlord's wife, we just changed the environment, and the rest is the same as now. ”

Regardless of whether the head of the Huang family is willing or not, the Huang family is now Mrs. Huang's idea, so after the rebuttal is ineffective, the head of the Huang group, who did not take the initiative, can only give up, in terms of eloquence, the three Huang heads tied together are not Mrs. Huang's opponents.

"With this thing, Company Commander Tang has to do what we say, as long as we take the line of the American consul, the day when we will stay away from war in the future will not be far away, you just wait to live a good life." Mrs. Huang tapped her fingers on the U.S. passport on the table, her words full of confidence. The official position that was originally bought for the descendants of the Huang family has now become a means to restrain Tang Cheng, and these are somewhat unexpected by Mrs. Huang, but on the whole it is good, and Mrs. Huang is eager to return victoriously in Tang Cheng's suppression of bandits.
