Chapter 141: Encouraging military morale(1/2)
After seeing off Tang Dujin, Meng Shaoyuan was in high spirits.
Xue Sanqiang was killed. Although Dai Li's main intention was to recruit him, he also warned him that if he failed, he would find a way to kill him.
My task can be considered successfully completed.
Especially the appearance of Tang Dujin is the biggest unexpected gain of this trip to Wuxi.
The adaptation of those Lake Bandits will take a while, and I can't waste it here.
Anyway, with Cao Jiaming here to help Mi Zilang, there won't be any trouble.
As soon as he went out, he saw Ji Yifan, Huo Yan and several team leaders waiting for him at the door.
"What's the matter?" Meng Shaoyuan frowned.
"Report to Team Leader Meng." Lu Jinhai, the team leader of the No. 1 Squadron, stood up: "I come to thank Team Leader Meng on behalf of the brothers."
"Thank me for what?"
"Captain Ji and Captain Huo told us that Captain Meng rewarded us with a box of belongings." Lu Jinhai's voice was filled with gratitude: "I have carried out many missions, but every time there is something wrong
All the benefits were from eating meat, and the brothers couldn't even share a sip of the soup.
The brothers' salaries are meager, and they really can't survive unless they find ways to make some money. For example, Lao Wu in my team, his sister was seriously ill, so she sent a telegram to ask for money, but Lao Wu usually has no savings. These days
I am worried every day.
There is also Shi Youquan from the second team, who is twenty-nine and still has no wife. His hometown helped him find an innocent girl. Now the review has been passed and the application has been approved, but they want a bride price, at least
You need a cow, silk and satin. After all, it’s not easy for someone to raise such a big girl, so I can’t give it to you for free, right? You need a sum of money to get married. But how can this kid have money? There is really nothing he can do in his family.
.
We people don't dare to say that we are spies. We always say that we are working in the Nanjing government department. When people hear this, our salary will definitely not be less. We know our own hardships.
A few days ago, I discussed with Captain Duan of Team 2 that we should first find an opium dealer and extort money. However, opium dealers in Nanjing are really hard to find these days, and all of them are very honest.
Now it's good. With such a box of things, Lao Wu's sister can see a doctor, and Shi Youquan can go back and get married.
Team Leader Meng, the brothers are thinking of you. From now on, no matter what Team Leader Meng tells us to do, as long as we open our mouth, the brothers will fight for your lives!"
Meng Shaoyuan had a special feeling.
When dealing with low-level spies like this, you must not talk to them about impassioned truths. At least half of them won't listen.
You have to actually help them solve their problems and treat them as your brothers.
Only in this way will they be willing to sacrifice their lives for you.
"Gather everyone together."
Meng Shaoyuan gave the order with a cold face...
…
All the spies who came to perform the mission this time were gathered together.
"I know, some people call me Sai Mengchang." Meng Shaoyuan did not hesitate and said straight away:
"Competing against Mengchang? Competing against what Mengchang? Mr. Mengchang has land, land, and taxes. What about me? I get the same salary as you. If I really want to compete against Mengchang, I, Meng Shaoyuan, can't get enough even if I sell a hundred or ten kilograms."
There was a low laugh from among the agents.
Meng Shaoyuan didn't smile at all: "But if you come out with me to perform a mission, as long as you gain something, you will definitely not take it all by yourself. Brothers and I have been through life and death, and I can't let everyone's hearts grow cold!"
We are in a group, and from now on there will be one rule: whoever fights bloody battles with me will be my brother!
In my team, from now on, you must not only make the greatest contributions, but also get the most benefits! When you are a spy, you cannot starve! I want you to eat so that your mouth is full of oil and your arms are full.
Use your strength to help me fight those Japanese and those traitors!"
"well!"
There was a roar of applause.
"Damn it, how come the Japanese traitors can live happily and drink spicy food while we have to be poor? There are no such rules here! I have a big pocket and a settled family. They all risk their lives with me! Who can
If you still act like a coward at that time, then you are no longer my brother, Meng Shaoyuan!"
Meng Shaoyuan cursed several times, which aroused the morale of the soldiers: "Old Wu! Shi Youquan!"
"arrive!"
"You will divide the money first and go home first. I will pay for it myself and give you a hundred oceans each. I will grant you fifteen days of leave. When you go back, you can take care of your sister if you should, and get married if you should get married...
By the way, return to the team on time. Shi Youquan, please take care of yourself, don't plow the fields all your life after getting a new wife. If you get cramps in your calves when you come back, don't blame me for punishing you!"
There was another roar of laughter.
Shi Youquan rubbed his head and just said "hehe" with a silly smile.
Old Wu's eyes were red, and he suddenly knelt down with a "pop" sound: "Team Leader Meng, I have followed several team leaders, but people like you... I won't talk about it. From today on, Team Leader Meng will
I, Old Wu, should die, if I, Old Wu, even frown, then I am not raised by humans!"
"Get up."
Meng Shaoyuan planned in his mind that when Lao Wu and Shi Youquan came back, they could join the secret operations team.
If a person's heart is taken over, he will definitely risk his own life.
Suddenly another idea came to my mind: "Brothers, in our line of work, it is inevitable that there will be injuries, and it is inevitable that there will be emergencies at home. So I thought, every time I complete a task and gain something, I will give 10% of it.
, not that I want to monopolize it, but that I want to set up a... fund...
What does this fund mean? It means putting it in an account, investing it, and money begets money. In the future, if someone is injured or disabled, they will receive a monthly subsidy. If someone dies, in addition to the pension provided above,
If you use another part of the fund, you must at least allow your family to survive.
If anyone is in trouble, apply, and if the situation is true, the fund will provide the money. This way, we can avoid everyone getting together to contribute with a gloomy look on their faces."
This is something new.
The agents discussed in a low voice for a while, and Ji Yifan, the most senior one, took the lead and said: "Team Leader Meng, no one has really considered this for us. If we really do this, our brothers' future lives will be guaranteed."
Yes. We just discussed it and we will do it as you said!"
He really admired Meng Shaoyuan in his heart.
Even though Team Leader Meng is so young, he always thinks of his brothers, and every idea he comes up with is practical and feasible.
Just as he was about to say something more, there was a sudden noise outside.
Zhu Yanni hurriedly walked in: "Team Leader Meng, please go out and take a look. Something happened."
problem occurs?
…
Something really happened.
There was a dense crowd of people outside. It looked like half of the people in Jiangyin City were here?
Those who beat gongs, those who play drums, those who hold flags and banners...
Anyway, there is everyone.
what are you doing?
Spring Festival Gala?
"Who is Chief Meng? Who is Chief Meng?"
"Come out, Chief Meng! Come out, Chief Meng!"
Meng Shaoyuan was frightened.
Hold a public trial for yourself?
An elderly man with a beard and a clean long gown came out, asked everyone to quiet down, and then asked politely: "Who is Chief Meng Shaoyuan Meng?"
"Ah, I am, what's the matter?"
"So you are Chief Meng?" The old man looked him up and down.
Do you have a granddaughter? Are you looking for a grandson-in-law?
The old man watched enough and then said: "The old man He Xianmin once worked in the government for a period of time. Now he is old and frail and has returned to his hometown. I am very lucky to see Chief Meng today."
Oh, that's the local gentry.
He Xianmin said respectfully: "The Xue family has been rampant and lawless for generations. Jiangyin has suffered from the Xue family for a long time, and Wuxi has suffered from the Xue family for a long time. However, the government has suppressed the bandits several times, but all failed. This year, when Chief Meng arrived in Jiangyin, he came with a thunderous force and eradicated them completely.
Xue Bandit. Jiangyin is very lucky, and the world is very lucky! Chief Meng, please stand here and don’t move!"
Before Meng Shaoyuan could react, he saw He Xianmin taking the lead and kneeling on the ground with the help of his family.
Behind, a large area of black people knelt down with shouts, and then a voice sounded:
"Sir Meng is very kind to Jiangyin. The people of Jiangyin would like to thank you, Chief Meng!"
Meng Shaoyuan was stunned.
Completely confused.
