Hao Ren has never been a good person, at least that's what he has always told himself.
So if he can make money, he will make money; if he can't, he will still make money!
Of course, maybe it's because of his name, or maybe it's because of his generous build and kind face, which gives people a very honest feeling, so many people have a good impression of him.
At least Jian Liangzhi, a descendant of the Qing family, felt that Hao Ren was honest, diligent, and a senior non-commissioned officer in logistics affairs. Therefore, after taking office as the commander of the 7th Regiment, he continued to reuse Hao Ren and appointed him as the deputy supply officer of the regiment.
The Seventh Regiment went north to Guang'an to perform military duties, and his deputy baggage officer was arranging supply transportation in the rear.
Hao Ren boasted that he had done a good job. When he escorted the baggage team from the county town all the way north to Qingshan Town, he only 'lost' two trucks of supplies because of the slippery road.
After arriving at Qingshan Town, Hao Ren was not polite and took the baggage team directly into the city and rested for a day before continuing north tomorrow.
Hao Ren naturally attended the reception banquet held for him by the guard Wang Jinquan and the patrol camp officer Lin Ziran. Although in a shabby place like Qingshan Town, except for the game, there was nothing good to eat or drink, but there was always
It is much better to have food, food, rain and sleep on the road than when escorting supplies.
During the dinner, Lin Ziran also quietly looked at Hao Ren, wondering if he could open a breakthrough from this man and get weapons.
After half a drink, Lin Ziran said loudly: "I have heard for a long time that Mr. Hao is a very talented person. When I saw him today, he is indeed well-deserved. No wonder he is reused by Mr. Jian!"
Hao Ren maintained his dignity as a sergeant and just smiled, and then said: "I dare not say Zongyong, I am just running errands for Lord Jian!"
Lin Ziran said: "The logistics of an army are all handed over to you. This is not reuse or something!"
Lin Ziran opened his eyes and told lies. In fact, the Hao Ren in front of him was just a sergeant and deputy baggage officer, and was only responsible for the logistics and transportation within Luo'an County.
There is also a baggage officer above him who is a military officer, and he is the boss in charge of the logistics affairs of the 7th regiment.
But Lin Ziran said nonsense, and Hao Ren had no intention of defending him. After all, everyone likes to hear good things.
Seeing that Lin Ziran spoke nicely, and also remembered the letter from the regiment leader Jian Liangzhi he had received earlier, Hao Ren said: "Hao is just a leader of the people, but Lin Yingguan, you defeated a group of Guang'an rebels some time ago.
Jun is so admirable, when I received Master Jian’s letter a few days ago, Hao still couldn’t believe it!”
Lin Ziran naturally said: "Master Jian is the master of command, and the subordinates are just following orders!"
At this reception banquet, there was good food and good drinks, you complimented me and I complimented you, and the atmosphere was very friendly.
Moreover, during the banquet, Hao Ren said that he had received a letter from Jian Liangzhi, and according to his instructions, he would leave fifty guns and corresponding bullets for Lin Ziran. He ordered others on the spot to ask Lin Ziran to send someone to collect the relevant ordnance.
Ammunition, no surprises at all.
This made Lin Ziran's perception of Hao Ren in front of him even better.
It seems that this Hao Ren is really a good person!
Naturally, he didn't know that Hao Ren was able to survive to this day because he had his own rules for doing things. If you make money, you will make money, but he always does the things ordered by his superiors well.
Jian Liangzhi personally ordered a batch of ordnance to be left for Lin Ziran's patrol camp. Hao Ren would naturally handle this matter properly.
If it weren't for this, how could he make money and still be reused?
After the reception banquet, nothing happened all night. Early the next morning, Hao Ren led dozens of soldiers from the transport team to escort dozens of carriages and continued northward.
At this time, Lin Ziran also personally escorted a group of new recruits under his command. When leaving the city, Lin Ziran looked at the convoy. It seemed that there were a few fewer vehicles than when he entered the city yesterday, but he did not count them in detail.
Besides, whether there are more or less supplies has nothing to do with Lin Ziran.
Lin Ziran just took Jian Liangzhi's weapons and other supplies and provided corresponding escorts at the expense.
As long as the baggage train was not robbed by bandits or anything, it had nothing to do with him, Lin Ziran.
More than two hundred people escorted dozens of vehicles and hundreds of civilians, and walked seven or eight kilometers north. Naturally, no petty thieves dared to do anything along the way.
After going north for seven or eight kilometers smoothly, they did not continue going north, because if they continued going north, they would almost enter Guang'an County, and the subsequent escort mission would be taken over by the headquarters of the 7th Regiment.
After handing over the supplies, Lin Ziran and Hao Ren took the people back south.
On the way back, Hao Ren and Lin Ziran also talked many times.
During the conversation, Lin Ziran had a feeling that Hao Ren was intentionally or unintentionally asking about the situation of his patrol camp in Qingshan Town.
They also focused on the ordnance situation of their patrol battalion and tentatively asked if they had any plans to expand the army.
This made Lin Ziran alert!
Could it be that Hao Ren could see through his mind and know that he wanted to recruit troops to expand his army? Then he would fight for the world?
Faced with this kind of probing, Lin Ziran naturally had a choice and said: "There are many bandits in Qingshan Town, and the people have been suffering from it for a long time. As the patrol camp officer of Qingshan Town, Lin is also deeply uneasy. This
Now I'm thinking of recruiting some young men to eliminate the banditry in the town as soon as possible."
"They are just young and strong recruits. We don't have enough firearms. We don't know when we will be able to form an army to suppress the bandits."
Lin Ziran's words were naturally to explain why he had recruited more than two hundred recruits and trained every day. He also said that the young and strong men were all new recruits and did not have many firearms. He deliberately made this patrol camp miserable.
Some, come here to show weakness to the enemy.
After hearing this, Hao Ren said: "Master Lin cares about the safety of the people. He is really respectable and admirable!"
Next, the two people complimented each other again. Lin Ziran said that Hao Ren had a strong sense of responsibility and had just delivered a batch of supplies, and then returned south non-stop to prepare for the transportation of the second batch.
Hao Ren also said that Lin Ziran cared about the safety of the people and suppressed bandits regardless of life and death, which was indeed a role model for our generation.
As the wind blew along the way, everyone's footsteps became much brisker, but this round trip was almost 20 kilometers. When we went there, it took too much time to escort the supplies, so it was already dark when we walked halfway in the afternoon.
.
However, he did not stop, but continued to move forward with a torch.
This torch caught Lin Ziran's attention, because he found that the torch was soaked in black petroleum, and the smell when burning was very pungent.
Seeing this torch, Lin Ziran had more thoughts.
After more than an hour of nightfall, they returned to Qingshan Town!
Nothing happened overnight, and on the next day, Hao Ren took dozens of people under him back south, preparing to escort the second batch of supplies north. He estimated that he would be able to return to Qingshan Town in three to five days.
As for Lin Ziran himself, he naturally continued to train his new recruits.
However, this afternoon, Lin Ziran was still training the new recruits to line up. Luo Mazi walked up to him and whispered: "Sir, an arms dealer came outside and said that he had a batch of ready-made military supplies on hand.
Do we want it?"
"Arms dealer?" This actually made Lin Ziran interested: "Bring him in!"
Lin Ziran has always been thinking about recruiting troops, and the issue of firearms is naturally the focus of his attention. Now that an arms dealer is coming to his door, he naturally wants to meet him.
Not long after, Luo Mazi walked in with a middle-aged man. This man seemed to be curious about Lin Ziran after he came in, and looked at Lin Ziran several times.
Similarly, Lin Ziran was also sizing up this arms dealer!
