"We've got it this time, so much smoke is worth a lot of money." The old northeast, who still had blood stains on his hands, looked at the wooden boxes found from the mountain temple, a total of 14 boxes of good cloud soil, which was the main purpose of Tang Cheng and their visit to Wangzhuang Town this time. The gang of horse bandits entrenched in the mountain temple were not as brave as Tang Cheng imagined, at least unlike the Jianghu guests Tang Cheng had seen in Beiping City, they only threw two grenades into the mountain temple, and these horse bandits who were still resisting were already in chaos.

"Bring those two alive and these things, let's go to Wangzhuang Town to rest." More than a hundred selected soldiers were mobilized, and Tang Cheng also brought a few of his veterans, Tang Cheng, who had washed his hands and face, looked a little gloomy, and he didn't expect the battle to end so lightly. This gang of horse bandits was only equipped with short guns, not to mention long guns, they didn't even have grenades, and they only fired a platoon of guns and a machine gun magazine behind the mountain temple, and they had already scared the 30 horse bandits away.

This was a battle of unequal strength, Huang San and the soldiers of those garrison regiments were ecstatic, because they were able to receive a small amount of money from their own regiment commander, while Tang Cheng and Lao Dongbei were very dissatisfied. "Let's go, each of you will keep a short gun, and Huang San will take the rest back for errands." The more than 30 short guns seized from the horse bandits became the focus of the confrontation between them and Huang San in the old northeast, but fortunately, Tang Cheng had an agreement with Commander Huang in advance, and Tang Cheng had the right to choose the guns seized from the horse bandits.

"Brother, it's yours." They met with Heizi in the middle of the road, looking at the thick hand that Captain Huang slapped on his shoulder vigorously, Tang Cheng couldn't cry or laugh, this person was more than one round older than himself, but he was shouting and calling himself a brother here. The caravan that was robbed by the horse bandits promised to take out 4 percent of the looted goods as a thank you gift to the Macheng garrison, and these 4 percent of the goods were worth about 400 yuan according to Mrs. Huang's estimate, and the tobacco and soil that Tang Cheng copied from the mountain temple were far more valuable than the 4 percent of the goods.

Captain Huang was originally a landlord who lived by collecting rent, but he was not a brainless person, it was Mrs. Huang's idea to encircle and suppress this gang of horse bandits, but it was Captain Huang's own intention to come and see the excitement. Mrs. Huang praised the young heroes of Tang Cheng at home many times, which somewhat made Commander Huang, the controller of the Macheng garrison regiment, jealous, so Commander Huang insisted on coming to Wangzhuang Town to boost morale, and the second was to see how well Tang Cheng commanded the war.

An expected battle that should have been fierce ended so quickly, and it was very rewarding, only 2 of the dozen or so people who were injured died in the middle of the road, Commander Huang really couldn't think of any words to praise Tang Cheng, this kid is indeed a good fighter. It was really because of this that Captain Huang, who was excited for a while, slapped Tang Cheng's shoulder vigorously and shouted brother.

"Master, these tobacco soils should be worth 3,000 oceans, and if they are transported to Wuhan, they may be worth more than a thousand oceans." Steward Huang is a knowledgeable person, and after a cursory look at the tobacco soil, he estimated a price for Tang Cheng and Captain Huang. "The caravan should also pay us 40% of the goods as a gratuity, counting the tobacco and horses, we can receive at least 4,000 oceans this trip." Steward Huang's valuation made Captain Huang's eyebrows flutter, fighting bandits is more than him collecting land rent, and Captain Huang, who was already a little happy, called Huang San and muttered quietly, seeing that the posture was to send someone out to find out the news of the bandits again.

"Master, you can't do the work of fighting bandits often, there are other militia groups or garrison groups around Macheng, and our family has cleaned up these bandits, what should other families do? , our Huang family has shallow roots, and eating alone will attract envy. "Receiving Tang Cheng's eyes, Steward Huang stubbornly persuaded Captain Huang." In previous years, the land rent collected by our family was only a few hundred yuan, and our family was still living very well, and Mrs. said that fighting bandits was just for military training, and this could not be used as a means of making money. ”

Steward Huang's words obviously scratched the itch of Head Huang, he could not listen to the butler, but he couldn't help but listen to his wife's words, Captain Huang, who was interrupted from interest, glared at the butler angrily, and then left with Huang San in a huff. "Company Commander Tang, don't be surprised, my master is such a temperament, just wait for his anger to disperse." Steward Huang's words were right, and after sending away the group of businessmen waiting in Wangzhuang Town, Captain Huang, who was originally angry, came over with a smile.

"Brother, you are really my lucky star, I don't need to send someone to Wuhan for those tobacco and soil, Boss Yao will take those things to Wuhan, and the money collected will be sent directly to the Huang family's business in Wuhan." In front of the housekeeper and Huang San, Head Huang slapped Tang Cheng's shoulder again, unlike the grievances in Tang Cheng's eyebrows, Head Huang's eyebrows and eyes were full of appreciation for Tang Cheng.

The soldiers of the garrison regiment who returned victoriously trumpeted the matter of besieging and killing horse bandits in the county town, and the taverns of all sizes in Macheng were also full of people who talked about the garrison regiment's attack to eliminate the surrounding bandits, among them, there were those who claimed that the garrison regiment would protect the people's safety, some praised the head of the Huang regiment as a great good man, and some alluded to the Huang family making money in the name of the garrison regiment. The Huang family didn't care about being sick, and the soldiers of the garrison regiment patrolling the county town didn't pay attention to those who spoke ill of the Huang family in private, only those who opened taverns in the county town were happy.

The more people in the Huang family in a round, the more people will come to the tavern to drink and chat, and the more people who come to the tavern, their business will naturally be better. "Sixth uncle, you guy looks like a fresh face, is it your new one?" Qian Guangshen, who often drinks at the Lukfook Tavern, entered the Lukfook Tavern at the same time as usual, and saw a fresh face in the tavern, Qian Guangshen couldn't help but be surprised, this tavern has been run by Uncle Liu for five or six years, and Qian Guangshen, who is a regular customer, has never seen a buddy in the Lukfook Tavern.

"I knew you would ask?" The sixth uncle of the shopkeeper took a plate of broad beans from the counter and put it on Qian Guangshen's table, then took an empty wine glass and sat down to drink with Qian Guangshen. "This is the child of a distant relative's family, the family first suffered a disaster and then came to the Japanese soldiers, this child is no longer alive so he came to me, do you think I can watch it?" Tilting his neck and pouring the wine in the cup into his mouth, Uncle Liu's expression looked a little lonely.

"Let's not talk about these for now, let's talk about your garrison regiment, these days, the whole county is talking about your garrison regiment." Uncle Liu, who seems to have a lot of old words, drank a few glasses of wine, and the words in his mouth gradually increased. Fortunately, there are not many guests in the Lukfook Tavern, although the new young man is a little busy, but he can also support it, as the shopkeeper of the tavern, Uncle Liu is idle and sits with Qian Guangshen and whispers about the garrison.

Chatting with acquaintances about the garrison group in his spare time is already commonplace for Qian Guangshen, and Uncle Liu, the shopkeeper of the Luofu Tavern, is obviously one of Qian Guangshen's few acquaintances. "Are you saying that this Company Commander Tang was specially invited by your Commander Huang to train you?" Uncle Liu, who was already drunk, looked vaguely at Qian Guangshen, who was also drunk, "Don't coax my old man, that Tang Company Commander and my old man have also seen it, it's just a hairy boy, I don't believe what you said." ”

Qian Guangshen can not care about anything, but he just can't allow people to say that he is a person who can coax people, so without waiting for Uncle Liu to finish speaking, Qian Guangshen stood up directly. "Uncle Liu, you said that we have known each other for so long, did I Qian Guangshen deceive you? Don't look at Company Commander Tang's young age, but people have fought with little devils in Shanghai and Nanjing, and Company Commander Tang is a member of the 88th Division, you can look for it in the troops of the National Army, and see if you can find someone who is an officer at his age. ”

"Okay, okay, okay, I believe in you, you should sit down first, I believe you." The sixth uncle, who couldn't cry or laugh, desperately comforted Qian Guangshen in the strange eyes of other people in the tavern, and finally persuaded Qian Guangshen, who was already slightly drunk, to sit down. The two drank until the tavern closed, and the sixth uncle, who was already drunk, was helped by the new guy to sleep in the backyard, and Qian Guangshen also staggered back to the barracks of the garrison regiment.

If Qian Guangshen, who was already drunk and lying in bed, knew what happened next, perhaps he would regret that he had lost a chance to receive a reward for meritorious service. "Go watch the movement" Uncle Liu, who was drunk and helped back to the backyard of the tavern, should have been lying on the bed like Qian Guangshen, but the tavern shopkeeper with gray hair was running into the back of the pyre in the corner of the yard at this time. Moving away from the very neat pyre, the sixth uncle, who was not drunk at all, went down the ladder to the hole in the ground behind the pyre.

The hole is not big but very dry, there are two short guns and a radio station on the table in the cave, and the sixth uncle who lit the oil lamp took out a codebook, and then turned on the radio to send the code. In about a quarter of an hour, Uncle Six, who had regained his identity as the shopkeeper of the tavern, appeared in the backyard of the tavern, and the young man who had been squatting in the courtyard and listening carefully to the movements around him was happy, and walked over to help the sixth uncle towards his room.

"Taro, the day of restoring our identity is not far off, the imperial army will come to Macheng soon, as long as we take here, we can restore the identity of the Imperial Japanese soldiers, I think the military department should be able to give you the identity of an officer this time." The sixth uncle, who was sitting at the head of the bed, stretched out his hand and patted the young man's shoulder, his eyes were full of enthusiasm, but the latter's eyes were full of joy.
