At dawn that day, an uninvited guest came to the gate of the military camp. He introduced himself as Feng Guanglin. The sentry had already received the order, so he did not dare to neglect and hurriedly reported inside.
Han Baihang had already gotten up and was pacing around the room to stretch his muscles. Although the military doctor told him that he would not be able to get out of bed for three to five days, he felt that he was strong and got out of bed and walked the next day. Sometimes he would go outside to inspect the troops. When he heard the sentry
Report, his eyes flashed, and he said: "Ask him to come to the living room and change my clothes!"
After putting on his military uniform, Han Baihang slowly walked to the living room. In the living room, he saw a yellow-faced man looking at the slogans on the wall with his hands behind his back. These slogans were quotations from Chinese and foreign military strategists that he had intercepted. The yellow-faced man was looking at them.
This is the famous saying of the ancient Roman commander Antony: In battle, be strong and resolute; in defeat, be stubborn; in victory, be tolerant and kind; in peace, be friendly and friendly.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, the yellow-faced man suddenly turned around. When he saw Han Baihang, he was stunned for a moment and glanced behind him.
"Master Feng, I have admired his name for a long time, I am Han Baihang!" Han Baihang clasped his fists and said with a smile. He secretly looked at this famous bandit leader. He didn't think he was as cruel as the rumors said, but he was a bit heroic, which made him feel good.
.
Feng Guanglin was also looking at Han Baihang at the same time, and could not hide the surprise on his face. He always thought that Han Baihang was a scheming middle-aged officer, but he never expected that he was such a young young man. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. It turned out that he was trapped in a hairy situation.
He cupped his fists and returned the salute in the hands of the immature young man, saying in unison: "I didn't expect Han Baihang to be so young, so disrespectful and disrespectful!"
Han Baihang invited Feng Guanglin to take a seat. After sitting down, he smiled and said: "Aspirations should not be determined by age. I heard that Mr. Feng took the position of the head of the family at the age of twenty-nine. It is really admirable."
Feng Guanglin smiled and said: "Look at the age of Company Commander Han, he must be in his early twenties. This is the first time I have seen an officer and army company commander of your age." He was somewhat proud of himself. He was able to become the head of Heifeng Village because of his success.
He was really capable. I think he competed with the contenders in fists and kicks, marksmanship, riding skills, concealed weapons, and courage, and finally stood out from more than twenty people.
The two complimented each other, but neither of them was drunk by the other. Feng Guanglin straightened his face, stood up and cupped his fists at Han Baihang and said: "Captain Han, you have saved my village twice, and I cannot thank you enough for your kindness."
When you asked me to come down the mountain, you must have something you want me to do, so please just tell me."
Han Baihang smiled and waved his hand: "Master Feng, please have a seat. Let's put aside the past grudges. This time we will only talk about business."
"What kind of deal?" Feng Guanglin asked, squinting his eyes.
Han Baihang said word by word: "I want you to intercept the opium from Ding Zuopeng and Xu Wangtang!"
Feng Guanglin's face became solemn and he didn't speak for a while. After a while, he said: "This is pulling a tooth out of a tiger's mouth. What can Captain Han give me?"
Han Baihang said with a smile: "Then it depends on what Master Feng wants."
"Opium is like gold, how about a share of the pie, brother?" Feng Guanglin raised a finger: "I want 10% of the opium!"
"Okay!" Han Baihang nodded readily, but his next words were murderous: "But the next one the officers and soldiers will kill is you!"
As soon as these words came out, Feng Guanglin's expression suddenly changed and he suddenly stood up from his seat: "Captain Han, are you serious?"
"really!"
Han Baihang sat still and looked at him sharply: "I like to eat alone, and I will never let anyone get a share of the pie. Master Feng should change the conditions, such as a batch of arms, which can restore your copycat's previous strength.
, no longer afraid of Zhu Chunzi!"
Feng Guanglin remained calm and silent. For him, arms were far more attractive than opium. After all, it was difficult for bandits to buy firearms. However, he could not believe that Han Baihang was willing to give him arms. After all, they were rival gangsters.
"Master Feng doesn't believe me?"
Han Baihang saw Feng Guanglin's concerns, smiled and said: "If you don't believe me, then I can only go to Zhu Chunzi."
"Are you threatening me?" Feng Guanglin looked at Han Baihang with evil eyes, and his whole body was full of gangster aura.
The guard outside the door rushed in, clenched his pistol and stared at Feng Guanglin.
Han Baihang slowly stood up and said with a look: "I am just threatening you, but I can guarantee the credibility of every word I say. If I want to suppress you, I don't need to save you twice. I might as well tell you that I
I just want to support you to be my eagle dog."
"Then you've got the wrong person!"
Feng Guanglin had a sullen face and gritted his teeth and said: "I, Feng Guanglin, am an upright man and will never be manipulated by others. I came to your place today and I have no intention of leaving alive!"
Han Baihang laughed and said: "Master Feng, you must be looking down on Han. I guarantee as a soldier that there is no Hongmen Banquet for you to come, and there are no ambushes outside. You can come and go freely, and your safety is absolutely guaranteed."
Feng Guanglin snorted coldly and said: "I dare to break into the dragon's pond and the tiger's den, but even the Hongmen Banquet is not scary."
Han Baihang smiled and waved to the guards: "Everyone, step back. Don't come in without my order!"
After the guards left, Han Baihang said sternly: "I respect Mr. Feng as a good man. I made a mistake in what I said just now. I apologize to you. But since we are talking about business, we can ask for high prices, or we can bargain on the ground.
Mr. Feng might as well think of another request."
Feng Guanglin pondered for a moment, looked into Han Baihang's eyes and said, "I have only one request. I must first see the arms before I can take action."
Han Baihang said without any hesitation: "No problem, two hundred Mauser rifles, each with one hundred rounds of ammunition, how about it?"
"make a deal!"
Feng Guanglin was afraid that Han Baihang would regret it and finalized the deal. In fact, he was not sure whether Han Baihang was sincere or fake. However, he had no choice now. After being attacked many times by Zhu Chunzi, there were only a hundred or so people left in Heifeng Village.
The gangsters were severely short of clothing and ammunition. Without Han Baihang's overt and covert help, he would have been unable to survive long ago.
After everything was settled, the two of them were in harmony again. Han Baihang smiled and asked: "Master Feng, you have come so early and you must not have had breakfast. If you don't mind, you can have breakfast with me."
Feng Guanglin was not polite, he touched his belly and smiled and said: "I came down the mountain on an empty stomach. It is best to have good wine and meat. If there is no good wine or meat, just cabbage, tofu, oil and water pipes will do!"
Han Baihang took a deep look at Feng Guanglin. Although it was just a joke, he could tell that Feng Guanglin was in a very difficult situation. He called the orderly in and ordered: "Let the cooking team come up with the skills to entertain the groom's officials, and follow the reception instructions
Sir’s standard ration, don’t serve the wine, get some ice-cold Dutch water!”
"Do we still need to set a standard and ration when eating?" Feng Guanglin asked doubtfully.
Han Baihang explained with a smile: "The rules I have set are that in the army, from me to the lowest, all officers and soldiers have equal meals. They all eat rice from a big pot. Only when we have guests, we cook private stoves!"
Feng Guanglin couldn't help but ask: "What is the standard ration, sir?"
Han Baihang smiled boldly and said: "Four dishes and one soup, rice is enough!"
Feng Guanglin was stunned and said: "This is even shabbier than our copycat village!"
Han Baihang said solemnly: "The last thing the army needs is arrogance and extravagance. There is nothing wrong with being shabby."
Feng Guanglin was convinced after hearing this. He looked at the slogan posted on the wall and praised sincerely: "Captain Han is very strict in running the army. No wonder he defeated me in Yongcheng with the weak against the strong!"
