"He didn't have a big deal, the bullet didn't hit the vital point, and besides, he was in good health, and he could get out of bed and move after half a month of recuperation." Tang Cheng invited all the famous doctors in Macheng to come, whether it was Western medicine or Chinese medicine, as long as they could heal the nine catties of injuries, Tang Cheng would give a lot of honorarium. The doctor's final diagnosis finally gave Tang Cheng's face a relieved expression, his heart that had been tense finally fell to the ground, the nine catties who had been shot twice in his body were not worried about his life, and Tang Cheng, who was physically and mentally exhausted, finally fell asleep.

"From today onwards, each of you will learn to ride a horse, and the horses in the backyard will also be taken care of, and they will be our means of transportation from Macheng to Sichuan." The first thing Tang Cheng, who had slept all night, did when he woke up was to ask Niu Laogui and them to practice horseback riding. Niu Laogui, an authentic Sichuan person, has already told him about the road conditions in Tangcheng into Sichuan, and it is indeed a good idea to abandon that cumbersome truck, but Niu Laogui's inability to ride a horse has become the biggest problem that Tangcheng needs to face.

"Company Commander Tang, this is what our master asked me to deliver, you can take it." After breakfast, the ruddy-faced Butler Huang came to the cyclamen, and brought a small box that Captain Huang had sent to Tangcheng. Tang Cheng, who didn't know what was going on, opened the small box under the signal of Steward Huang, there were three gold bars and some oceans in the box, Tang Cheng looked at Steward Huang who was sitting opposite him with some puzzlement, if it was just according to the spoils that had been discussed with Captain Huang in the morning, the money was obviously too much.

"Boss Hu's shop has been sealed by my master, and the crime of Boss Hu's bandit is also ironclad, these gold bars were copied from Boss Hu's family, and Dayang is the price of Boss Hu's tavern after converting it, according to the agreement you made with my master before, here is the thirty percent you deserve." After listening to Steward Huang's explanation, Tang Cheng, who was confused, understood what was going on, but he was quite surprised by Boss Hu's ability to save money.

"My wife also specially asked me to bring half a fan of pork and some chickens and ducks, saying that it was for you and your brothers to make up for Company Commander Tang." After a polite greeting with Tang Cheng for a while, Steward Huang, who had already done the work, said goodbye and left, but the things he sent filled several tables. The few defeated soldiers found by Niu Laogui have now also lived in the cyclamen, and the murderous guys in Tangcheng are almost going to wrap up the cyclamen, and under the silver bullet offensive of Tangcheng, the shopkeeper here promised that the cyclamen will not be open to the public from now on.

Follow Commander Huang to have meat to eat, this is nothing new in Macheng, the soldiers of the garrison regiment who participated in the anti-bandit operation have received a piece of money, although unlike the old Northeast They are 10 fast oceans per person, but the money issued by Commander Huang is enough for them to find a tavern to live a few days of rich people. The sentence that there is meat to eat with Commander Huang is that Tang Cheng let those routed soldiers deliberately disperse and get what they want, Tang Cheng didn't want a large number of rout soldiers to come to the cyclamen to make trouble for themselves, so it was the best way to lure them to the garrison regiment.

The current Commander Huang is suffering and happy, his garrison regiment has become famous after successfully suppressing the bandits, and has expanded from the original 200 people to more than 500 people now, if it were not for the lack of ambition and financial constraints of Commander Huang, Mrs. Huang might have collected all the defeated troops in Macheng. The bandits who were captured alive in Sandaoling have all been executed for public display, as the person who helped the bandits sell the stolen goods and provide information, Hu Boss was thrown into the prison after his house was raided, and died in prison within a few days, and only Tang Cheng and Huang Tuan Chang benefited from the beginning to the end.

Macheng returned to calm, and the Tangcheng gang, who had no trivial matters, except for going out of the city to ride horses from time to time, the rest of the thing was to nest in the cyclamen to recuperate. "Company Commander Tang, my lord invites you to come over to the house." I haven't seen him for two days, and Butler Huang, who was used to bending over when walking, is now full of momentum, not only wearing the military uniform properly, but also having a shell gun in his waist. Tang Cheng, who was leisurely and complacent, was still looking through the notebook left by Xie Bo for the past two days, although he couldn't guess what happened to Captain Huang calling him over, Tang Cheng still took Liu Shishi to Huang's house.

"I sent some people to investigate around, there is a Niutou Mountain 80 miles north of the county seat, there is a group of bandits on the mountain, I heard that it is specially poured smoke and soil, do we want to pull the garrison out and fight again?" Commander Huang, whose strength has been expanded to 500 people, also had confidence when he spoke, but his reason made Tang Cheng a little crying and laughing. On the way here, Tang Cheng had been speculating about the reason why Captain Huang called him here, if he knew that Commander Huang was fighting the bandits again, he would definitely not come.

Money is moving, the head of the Huang regiment in front of him is obviously not just to pull the garrison out to compete with the bandits, Tang Cheng knows that the head of the Huang regiment is more for the tobacco or money in the hands of those bandits. If it was the previous Tang Cheng, he might still spit on Captain Huang in his heart, but after experiencing Nanjing and Mengcheng, under the subtle influence of Liu Goat, Tang Cheng knew that in this troubled world, only eating a full stomach is important.

"Commander Huang, what is the current situation on my side, I think you also know, besides, your garrison regiment is strong now, you don't need my help at all, you want to clean up those bandits, just use a few veterans who have fought to take the novices, I can lend you the machine gun." Tang Cheng's only purpose now is to heal his injuries as much as possible, and to take the garrison to fight the bandits just to get enough horses for himself through the hands of the garrison regiment, and this kind of thing can be done once, Tang Cheng doesn't want another bedridden nine catties to appear in the cyclamen.

Commander Huang's repeated persuasion was fruitless, so he had to let Tang Cheng leave Huangfu, but Tang Cheng promised to lend the machine gun to the garrison to fight the bandits. "Which of you wants to go? If anyone wants to go with the garrison, I will tell Steward Huang. At dinner, Tang Cheng mentioned this matter in front of everyone. It's another chance to enter, they don't care about the sunspots, it doesn't mean that Lao Dongbei and Niu Lao Gui don't care, not to mention that Captain Huang has always been very generous.

Tang Cheng is not short of people now, the incident of Sandaoling made Tang Cheng realize his lack of ability, commanding a company in Mengcheng was forced by Liu Goat, and the battle at the Beishan Pass had actually proved the lack of Tang Cheng's ability. If it weren't for the fact that Tang Cheng had been carried away by Liu Goat's death when he evacuated Mengcheng, if it weren't for the help of Zhang Zhan's 173rd Division's defeated soldiers, and if it weren't for the fact that the rice field squadron they encountered was just a few student soldiers, maybe Tang Cheng's confidence would not have swelled to the same as when he first came to Macheng.

Tang Cheng was only fighting a group of bandits in Sandaoling, and they were bandits who did not have an advantage in equipment and numbers, and even so, Tang Cheng's self-contained and carefully prepared arrangement was almost broken by the bandits. There were factors such as the low combat effectiveness of the garrison regiment and the terrain, but it was a mistake by Tang Cheng, the commander, who was very far away. Tang Cheng mistakenly underestimated the insight and reaction power of the bandits, and also overestimated the power of the machine gun, if it weren't for Niu Laogui and their veterans supporting the table, maybe Tang Cheng would not only not be able to completely annihilate the bandits on the Sandaoling this time, but also would cause heavy casualties to the garrison regiment.

The day after returning to Macheng, Tang Cheng, who had regained his energy, was reflecting on himself, and all kinds of scenes flashed in his mind after leaving Shanghai. Thinking about it carefully, Tang Cheng found that he didn't seem to have the kind of command talent that Xie Bo had said, and Tang Cheng also fantasized that he commanded the second company to fight fiercely with the Japanese army like Liu Goat, but this was not the case. Tang Cheng had already discovered his own shortcomings in ability, and it was no problem to command an infantry squad of 15 men or an infantry platoon of 48 people, but once the number exceeded 50, Tang Cheng's shortcomings would immediately become apparent.

Already aware of his shortcomings, Tang Cheng, who was idle, began to look through the notebook left by Xie Bo again, trying to find a solution from it. It is for this reason that Tang Cheng rejected Commander Huang's offer to continue to participate in the suppression of bandits, rather than causing more casualties due to his lack of ability, it is better to use this time to consult with veterans like Niu Laogui.

Tang Cheng didn't stop Niu Laogui and them from going with the garrison to suppress the bandits, and they who had already dealt with the bandits should be much stronger than those guys newly recruited by Captain Huang. "You're really not going?" Tang Cheng looked at Niu Laogui and Lao Dongbei with some surprise, it stands to reason that Niu Laogui, a guy who wants to return to his hometown in fine clothes, should participate in the suppression of bandits, this is a good opportunity to enter, and it is far more than going home empty-handed with enough money.

"This is a life-sparing person, you can inquire all over the county, you know that he only wants to go home, and he won't go where the guns are flying." Without waiting for Niu Laogui to speak, Lao Dongbei, who stayed with him, joked first. The days of wine and meat made the old Northeast happy, he couldn't save money, he didn't have much idea about money, and it was a big deal that he couldn't get along here in Tangcheng, so he would change another place to stay, thinking that a machine gunner like him was a type of troops that many troops lacked.

Niu Laogui was a little embarrassed by what Lao Dongbei said, in fact, he was indeed a person who cherished his life, if he didn't have full certainty, when Sandaoling surrounded and annihilated the bandits, he would never rush to be the first. "Okay, since you two don't want to go, let's hurry up and learn to ride a horse, and when Jiujin can get out of bed, let's leave Macheng." got in touch with Commander Huang, Tang Cheng got a few newspapers from Mrs. Huang a month ago, judging from the reports in the newspapers, the situation of the national army is now very bad, Tang Cheng doesn't know what the current war situation is, but he knows that it is urgent to rush to Sichuan as soon as possible.
