When spring arrives in March, the weeds in the field have secretly emerged from their tender green little heads, accumulating a winter's strength to give them the energy to break through the soil, and the weeds that can't wait to emerge from the young leaves make the large fields outside the city a new coat. Unconsciously, Tang Cheng and they have been in Mengcheng for three months, Tang Cheng has experienced too many things from the initial impatience to the current stability, and the current Tang Cheng is no longer as wary of all the people as when he first came to Mengcheng.

Riding a horse consumes too much time and energy in Tang Cheng, Liu Goat is not complaining about Tang Cheng's extreme annoyance, Tang Cheng will appear in the stable in the backyard or in the field outside the city every day when he opens his eyes, Liu Goat rarely even sees Tang Cheng's face, and it is naturally impossible to complain. It's just that Tang Cheng went out of the city to ride a horse alone, not nine catties to accompany him, or Lao Xu to follow him, as usual, Tang Cheng, who had breakfast, led the big green horse and nine catties out of the barracks early, and went to the wild outside the city to walk the horses.

"This stinky boy is running very fast" Knowing that Tang Cheng had gone out of the city to walk the horse again, Liu Goat laughed and scolded and rode a mare to the Mengcheng County Government. The news of the Japanese army's southward and northward attack on Anhui is not the same every day, in Ge Kunshan's daily fear, Mengcheng finally ushered in spring, and the Japanese army, which was rumored to be very evil, never appeared, and after a long reign, Ge Kunshan's tense heart gradually relaxed.

Compared with Li Linge and Ge Kunshan's laxity, Liu Goat, who trained the Mengcheng militia group, was tense in his nerves, and Liu Goat, who had fought with the Japanese army, knew the Japanese army's methods, and when he relaxed at this time, he was to hand over his life to God, which was extremely uncomfortable for Liu Goat. The supplies and materials needed by the militia were jointly borne by the Mengcheng Chamber of Commerce and the county government, and the supplies would be delivered to the barracks on time every week, but this time the supplies were three days late, and Liu Shanyang had to go to the county government to inquire about the matter in person.

It is not the first time Liu has come to Mengcheng County Government, but the last time he came here was when Ge Kunshan really took office as the county magistrate of Mengcheng, and it has been almost 2 months since now. "Company Commander Liu, it's my fault for this, I've been really busy and dizzy during this time." Seeing that Liu Goat came to the door in person, Ge Kunshan hurriedly greeted him from his office, he knew in his heart that Liu Goat was coming immediately, but he didn't know how Lu Dao should mention this matter to Li Xuan, could it be that those guys in the merchant were not willing to pay any more.

Ge Kunshan and Li Linge have been friends for many years, but their friendship is much thinner in the face of interests and power, especially when Ge Kunshan learned that Li Linge had a family team that was also being trained by Liu Goat. Ge Kunshan is also from Mengcheng, but he can't compare to Li Linge's control of Mengcheng, and the re-recruitment of Tuan Ding is precisely to better control Mengcheng for himself, otherwise he just relies on those dozen policemen who can't do anything, and it is even more difficult for him Ge Kunshan to achieve his wish than ascending to the sky.

Ge Kunshan also knew that the original fast gun team in Li Linge's hands, but the fast gun team composed of those Jianghu people was slightly stronger than ordinary people in Ge Kunshan's eyes, but the family team that Liu Goat helped Li Linge train was different. There is no comparison between 30 people who use rifles and light machine guns and more than 20 Jianghu people who can only use short guns, first of all, Liu Goat, a national army officer who has experienced a battle of life and death, is the biggest variable, and Ge Kunshan does not believe that Liu Goat, who was born in the 88th Division, is a straw bag that is indiscriminate.

"County Magistrate Ge, the militia's supplies have not been delivered this week, is there something wrong in the county? And when will the 120 regiments you transferred last time return to the barracks to continue training? Taking the tea cup handed by Ge Kunshan and putting it aside, Liu Goat directly explained his intention, in addition to inquiring about supplies, he also wanted to bring back the regiments that Ge Kunshan transferred from the military camp last time.

Ge Kunshan did not directly answer Liu Goat's question, but paced back to his seat, took out a cigarette and lit one, "Company Commander Liu, I won't hide it from you, the matter of supply is the people of the Chamber of Commerce who are doing something, these short-sighted guys think that the Japanese army will not come, since the Japanese army is not coming, they feel that it is unnecessary to spend so much money to support those regiments, in fact, since last time, the supplies provided by the Chamber of Commerce have been cut off, and the last time those grains were purchased by the county government, and there is still a part of the money that has not been paid." Ge Kunshan's outspokenness made Liu Goat a little unconscious, and he originally thought that Ge Kunshan would prevaricate himself.

The entanglement between Ge Kunshan and Li Linge, Liu Goat, who has been staying in the barracks, also knows a little bit about it, it is nothing more than for power and interests, if it weren't for this, I'm afraid Liu Goat would not appear here in Ge Kunshan today, because he has a plan that just needs such an opportunity. "What should I do? The food in the barracks is already running out, and if the supplies are not delivered to the barracks within three days, your regimental members will be hungry. Liu Shanyang knew that Ge Kunshan had used half of the county government's money to buy weapons and ammunition, and it was impossible for him to take out the money to buy food at this time.

"This, Company Commander Liu, can you hold on for a few more days, and I'll talk to the people of the Chamber of Commerce again, if it's really not good, I can use the name of the county government to fight with them. As long as I can send food to the barracks and give them my official hat, the training of the militia cannot be stopped. Listening to Liu Shanyang's words, he meant to stop the training of the militia group, Ge Kunshan was anxious now, the Mengcheng militia was his hope to gain a foothold here, if the militia stopped training, his hard work and hard work would be in vain.

Liu Goat spread his hands to Ge Kunshan and pretended to be embarrassed, "County Magistrate Ge, it's not that I don't want to help you with this, but you have also seen that those regiments train so much every day, if they can't eat enough, how can they have the spirit and strength to continue training." It's okay to say that there is a lack of weapons and ammunition, but this food is indispensable, and without food and provisions, if you invite the German instructors, I am afraid they will not be able to do this errand. ”

Liu Goat's fake shirk made Ge Kunshan a little annoyed in his heart, although Liu Goat is an officer, but a little captain is really not a role in front of Ge Kunshan, if it weren't for Liu Goat's fancy and some ability, I'm afraid that Ge Kunshan wouldn't even have the kung fu to take care of Liu Goat. Holding back his anger, Ge Kunshan still said to Liu Goat and Yan Yuese, "Company Commander Liu, you see if this will work, you go back first and continue to train those regiments, and I will immediately go to the people of the Chamber of Commerce to find a way, and at noon today, I will send someone to send the first batch of grain to the barracks." ”

Ge Kunshan's determination made Liu Goat smack his tongue in his heart, and said in his heart If it weren't for you, the bullshit county magistrate, who scraped the ground too hard, how could the people of the Mengcheng Chamber of Commerce disagree with you. "Okay, it's done with your words, then I'll go back first." Liu Goat grabbed the teacup and raised his head, poured the already cold tea into his mouth, and then got up and left. Ge Kunshan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that Liu Goat had finally left, and he didn't want Liu Goat, who had already walked to the door, to suddenly turn around and come back.

"County Magistrate Ge, I almost forgot another thing when I was so happy." Liu Goat knocked on his head with annoyance, "Those regimental soldiers I just mentioned who were transferred away by you, when will you return them to me, they are not even recruits now, you better let them be trained with others." Liu Goat's words made Ge Kunshan's suppressed anger rise again, the Mengcheng militia belonged to him Ge Kunshan, how could he listen to Liu Goat's words, but it became his Liu Goat's.

"Well, I know about this, the situation has not been good recently, there have been several groups of bandits around Mengcheng, those groups have been transferred by me to explore the bandits' traces around Mengcheng, if the bandits really come to Mengcheng, the people here will suffer." Ge Kunshan did not reveal the specific location of those regiments to Liu Goat, but played an official tone with Liu Goat, full of thoughts for the people of Mengcheng. "You train the rest of the regiments first, I have my own opinions on this matter, and the militia is to protect the people of Mengcheng."

"Are there any bandits?" Liu Goat sat down again with a curious expression, "Is that to transfer the militia to fight the bandits?" Recruits who have not experienced the battlefield are no different from ordinary people, if the little devils come to Mengcheng, you want to use these guys who have never seen blood to guard Mengcheng will not work at all, it is best to let them see in advance what it is like to kill people, and if they meet the little devils in the future, they will give their lives in vain. ”

"Fighting bandits?" Liu Goat's proposal made Ge Kunshan's heart a little moved, and Li Linge instigated those merchants to stop sending supplies and food to the army, which was largely because those merchants did not trust the militia group. If the Mengcheng militia has made a name for itself and has a prestige, I believe that those merchants will change their views, and the most important thing is that the prestige of the county magistrate among the people will increase a lot.

"Fighting a war is not only about killing people, but also about getting supplies and money." Seeing that Ge Kunshan was already a little moved, Liu Goat, who struck while the iron was hot, threw out a reason that Ge Kunshan couldn't refuse. Fighting a war can still earn money, this is Ge Kunshan has never heard of before, Xuantong was the commander of the artillery battalion of the first division of the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Allied Army for three years, he actually did not really go to the battlefield, even if it was the later Yuan and Northern Expedition, Ge Kunshan did not experience the real battlefield, so what Liu Goat said was a fantasy for him.

"County Magistrate Ge, think about it, what is the most in the bandits' den?" Liu Goat, who saw the signs in Ge Kunshan's eyes, approached and continued to bewitch, "It's money, what bandits love most is to save money, save money to buy food, wine, weapons and ammunition, and now that the army is in chaos, where can they buy weapons and ammunition." So, as long as we can find the bandits' nest and get rid of it directly, the money saved by the bandits is not ours, and the money for the purchase of food and supplies for the militia will come out, where is there any need for your dignified county magistrate and those merchants to beg for supplies in a low voice. ”
