Chapter VII: Seeking Help

"Don't underestimate Stationmaster Mao's courage, the wounded soldiers in the shelter are in chaos, he will also be in trouble, now it's just a few guys who smuggle tobacco and soil, Stationmaster Mao may not have such courage, let's just wait and see the excitement, maybe Stationmaster Mao will come to thank us." Tang Cheng's explanation made Hou San and the others, who were already puzzled, even more unable to understand why their company commander was so optimistic about this guy surnamed Mao.

"Company commander, the guy surnamed Mao got back 50 rifles and a Czech light machine gun, and I look like I still have grenades." At lunchtime the next day, the dice, who had been basking in the sun in the yard of the containment station, walked into the warehouse with a strange face. Tang Cheng only gave the idea to the surnamed Mao yesterday, but he didn't expect that the people would have already got the weapon back the next day, is it really like what his company commander said, this seemingly weak station commander is ruthless in his bones.

Getting the weapons and ammunition back is only the first step, if you want to rob the tobacco sellers who smuggle tobacco and soil, manpower is also very important, and you can't always be the bandit who robs the road alone. Getting back the weapon allowed Tang Cheng to see what Stationmaster Mao was capable of, but what happened next made Tang Cheng understand what it meant to be a scholarly spirit, and the wounded soldiers in the shelter who had recovered their ability to move did not pay attention to Stationmaster Mao's solicitation at all, and they would rather bask in the sun every day and wait to drink those two meals of gruel that could not fill their stomachs, rather than listen to what Stationmaster Mao said about his plan.

"Brother Tang, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you again, my weapons and ammunition have been returned, but those mud-like guys can't be used at all. I'm going to find a few people from outside to help, plus your Hou San and a few of them, I think the manpower should be enough. Stationmaster Mao's words made Tang Cheng smile bitterly and shake his head, no wonder this product will be thrown into this containment station by the 58th Army to eat and wait for death, the feeling is that there is something wrong with the brain of this product.

"Stationmaster Mao, what I mean by shaking my head is that I don't approve of you doing this." Tang Cheng first took out a cigarette and handed it to Stationmaster Mao, whose eyes flashed with anger, "The person who dares to smuggle tobacco will not be a guy without roots, you can only use these soldiers in the shelter to do such a thing, no matter how bad they are, they are also from your 58th Army, once the matter is big, they will not betray you." But you're going to find someone from outside to help, which is tantamount to expanding the originally secret things infinitely, if those guys who sell tobacco and soil know about it, not to mention that you, the stationmaster, can't do it, and you may not even be able to save your life. ”

"The most important thing to do this kind of thing is to keep it secret, it's best not to be known, you have to get to the point where everyone knows about the storm, and in the end it will only hurt yourself." Stationmaster Mao finally listened patiently to what Tang Cheng wanted to say, lowered his head and thought about it carefully, and then nodded to Tang Cheng again and again, the anger in his eyes had long since disappeared, replaced by gratitude.

"Brother Tang, help me, as long as you help me this time, no matter whether this thing works out or not, I will accept your affection." Stationmaster Mao is completely out of ideas. For him, the difficulty was not to get weapons and ammunition, but to deal with the wounded soldiers in the shelter. The clash that happened in the warehouse yesterday made him see the fierceness of Tang Cheng's gang, so he could only turn to Tang Cheng to help him train those wounded soldiers.

"Okay, but my people can't work in vain, shouldn't you share our share of the tobacco you intercepted?" Tang Cheng is a smart person, and he immediately thought of the meaning of Stationmaster Mao's words, and then smiled. "You also know that my injuries will not heal at all without three or five months, I and my people can't sit back and eat, we are soldiers, and we can't do those things to fill our stomachs. Therefore, my men will help you train those wounded soldiers, and you will divide us into 30% of the tobacco you intercept. ”

"Nope. No, thirty percent is too much. There are only 9 of you, and I have more than 300 people waiting to eat here, and if you ask for too much, we will do it for nothing, thirty percent is too much, absolutely not. "Stationmaster Mao shook his head again and again, and bargained with Tang Cheng like a real businessman, and the two almost made a move after many disputes, and finally both sides gave in and ended up with two profits." Brother Tang, you shouldn't be a soldier, you should be a businessman, when I'm your age, I only mess around with friends every day. ”

Sending off Stationmaster Mao, Tang Cheng began to convene Hou San and them for a meeting, "The place where we are staying now is the 58th Army, although the surname Mao is not a big official, but he is the person in charge of this shelter, whether we can continue to stay here depends on the meaning of the surname Mao, so we must help him this time, no matter what the matter is, we have nothing to lose anyway." "That's right, Tang Cheng's decision is to assist Stationmaster Mao from the side, but they won't participate in specific matters.

"Hou San, you and the dice will help Stationmaster Mao clean up those wounded soldiers in the yard from tomorrow, the first thing you need to do is to let those guys learn to follow orders, and let them learn to obey orders and prohibit." Tang Cheng's arrangement made Hou San and the dice look bitter. After yesterday's conflict, Hou San and Dice knew that they had become a thorn in the side of those wounded soldiers, and in such a situation, they still expected those guys to be obedient, this is not wishful thinking.

The reactions of Hou San and Dice made Tang Cheng suddenly think of Old Northeast, if Old Northeast was still alive, he would be the best candidate to train those wounded soldiers. "Don't worry, I'll tell you what to do, it's just that some of them don't have the guts, it's much worse than the bandits I captured in Mengcheng." Tang Cheng's words made Hou San and the dice not only scratch their heads, but even a little annoyed. Tang Cheng compared the present with the original in Mengcheng, but there is no contrast between the two at all, when Tang Cheng was in Mengcheng to rectify those bandits, he had a whole company of heavily loaded men, and now, there are only two of them.

Seeing that Hou San and the dice still didn't understand what they meant, Tang Cheng had no choice but to make his words clearer, "Why do those wounded soldiers make trouble, it's because they can't eat enough to make trouble, why did Stationmaster Mao do this, just to let those wounded soldiers have enough to eat." The most important thing in this is to eat, starting tomorrow, you will control the food in the shelter, the obedient people will have food, and the troublemakers will be hungry, I don't believe you two even have the means to do this. ”

"There are only 2 of us, what if they do make trouble?" After following Tang Cheng for a long time, the original cunning of the dice seems to have been completely lost, and now not only Hou San is despising him, but even Liu Shishi and others, who know his details, only see the whites of their eyes but not the black.

"You're a fucking fool, and the gun in your hand is an ornament? Lao Tzu didn't believe that a group of bare-handed guys dared to be dishonest with guns on their heads. You've killed so many devil soldiers, are you still afraid of a few guys who can't even eat? Without waiting for Tang Cheng to speak, Hou San scolded the dice first. is also a bandit, Hou San is now more and more like the arrogance of the old Northeast, and the originally cunning dice are becoming more and more like Ma Fatzi, the guy who can only cook, and his courage has become smaller and smaller.

The dice had already been scolded by Hou San and couldn't straighten up, so Tang Cheng dismissed his plan to fall into the well, "Tomorrow, except for those sick people, other guys who can move on their own will not give breakfast, unless they can clean up and train in line according to your orders." Don't worry about the number of them, Stationmaster Mao will find some people from outside to help for a few days, take out your skills in Zouma Mountain, and train them well. ”

"Glasses, you and Stone will go to the black market from tomorrow to inquire about the tobacco dealers, and it is best to find out the news of the arrival or transit of tobacco in the near future. The third child, you are a person who has walked through the rivers and lakes, you try to see if you can find out the news of the transportation with the tobacco from the mouths of the local people in Liuyang, intelligence is very important to us, and the stationmaster Mao promised me that if this thing is done, 2 percent of the benefits are ours. "Tang Cheng assigned tasks one by one, and even Wu Laosan was not left behind.

2 into the benefits, everyone has obviously been attracted by Tang Cheng's last sentence to attract all the interest, they may not know how much 2 into the benefits, but they all know that tobacco is very valuable, at the moment, tobacco can be regarded as hard currency. Tang Cheng assigned tasks to almost everyone, only Mu Lianshan, Ma Fatzi and the two little ones did not mention it, Lin Ying was a girl and it was better, but Zhang Xiaobao had already automatically come to Tang Cheng and grinned, this look was that he also wanted Tang Cheng to send him a job.

"Mr. Mu, we can only help in this matter, but we can't take action directly, the surnamed Mao and these wounded soldiers are all from the 58th Army, they are not afraid of many people, but we are different. If it weren't for my injury, it would take time to recover, we should have stayed in Kunming now, a lot of people have already died, I don't want you to throw your lives away in such a thing again, Liuyang is still safe, let's just stay safe and secure until I recover from my injury. Seeing that Mu Lianshan was also a little moved, Tang Cheng hurriedly dissuaded him, it was good for a person like Mu Lianshan to be a doctor, but it was not necessarily good to do other things.

"Mr. Mu, you still take the two little ones to continue to go out to see your illness, and the cook continues to cook, what we have to do is not show the mountains and water. If the surnamed Mao makes a big fuss, others will not contact us with the matter, at least it can leave us time and opportunity to escape. Tang Cheng finally regained his original order, which made Mu Lianshan, who had always worried about him, very satisfied, only a sober-minded leader would not disregard the lives of his subordinates.
