After the cavalrymen of the Second Heavy Cavalry Regiment arrived, they finally relieved Lin Ziran and the others from the awkward situation of being unable to move.
Previously, Lin Ziran and the others were stared at by the Guang'an cavalry and did not dare to move at all.
Before the more than 600 cavalrymen of the Second Heavy Cavalry Regiment arrived, and after the Guang'an cavalry retreated on their own initiative, Lin Ziran and the others were able to change from a defensive posture to a marching posture.
So even though he was not familiar with the people of the Second Heavy Cavalry Regiment, Lin Ziran still greeted them enthusiastically!
"I'm here to pay my respects to Mr. Tang. Thanks to Mr. Tang, he led his army to come to our aid, otherwise we would still be unable to move!"
The Mr. Tang in front of me is Dr. Tang Youfeng, the leader of the Second Heavy Cavalry Regiment. With his Chinese character, his voice is very rough: "It's okay. No need to be polite. We are all our brothers!"
But as soon as he finished speaking, he said: "There are a lot of good things in your transportation team!"
As he spoke, his eyes were still looking towards the motorcade.
Because of the previous shelling, many carriages in the convoy were damaged, and many supplies were scattered on the ground. Although they were packed up later, there were no carriages for shipment, and they could only be piled aside.
Tang Youfeng saw at a glance that there were many good things among the mountains of supplies.
After hearing this, Lin Ziran consciously closed his mouth and turned his attention to Hao Ren. These supplies had nothing to do with him. He was just escorting the supplies. Hao Ren was the actual person in charge of the transportation team.
Hao Ren was obviously stunned. He didn't expect that this Tang Youfeng looked like a big boss, but he was not vague at all when he spoke.
This Tang Youfeng directly said that there are many good things. This meaning is very obvious, he just wants to share the benefits.
However, the loss of supplies along the way has been very large. Sixty-seven cartloads of supplies were already "lost" along the way. Previously, they were attacked by the Guang'an cavalry, and at least ten more cartloads of supplies were destroyed. This
There isn't much left.
If there are too many shortfalls, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain to the superiors.
Of course, as I said before, this has nothing to do with Lin Ziran.
So when Hao Ren stepped forward and whispered something to Tang Youfeng, Lin Ziran didn't step forward to inquire. It didn't take long before he saw the two people laughing.
Tang Youfeng also patted Hao Ren on the shoulder, acting like a good brother.
After the two men came over, Tang Youfeng said: "Officer Lin, in the face of the rebel cavalry attack, you not only defended the baggage but also killed and wounded more than fifty enemy cavalry. When the results of the battle are reported, you must remember a meritorious deed."
!”
Lin Ziran said humbly: "Everywhere, officers and soldiers are responsible for their lives, and subordinates dare not take credit!"
This may seem modest, saying that it is all the credit of the soldiers, but these soldiers are also his subordinates, Lin Ziran. If his subordinates have made meritorious service, naturally he, the battalion officer, has also made meritorious service.
After saying that, Tang Youfeng came over and said, "You have achieved a great victory this time. You have killed and injured more than thirty people, and you have also captured many prisoners. If you hand over these prisoners, it will definitely be a great achievement."
ah!"
"With so many killed and captured, I wonder if I can share the profit with some of my brothers!"
Lin Ziran couldn't react when he heard this. Can the Guang'an cavalry who were killed and captured still get a share of the profits?
But he quickly realized that what Tang Youfeng wanted was probably military exploits and he wanted to share in the military exploits!
When he reacted, the face that was still smiling before instantly calmed down, and then he stared at Tang Youfeng.
Although Lin Ziran had no intention of climbing up the ranks in Luo An's army, and he didn't care much about his military exploits, he cared more about his own strength.
However, just because he doesn't care about it doesn't mean he is willing to see others take away his credit!
There are many rebels in Guang'an, and there is a Guang'an cavalry not far away. If you want to win the battle, fight it yourself.
If you want to steal my military exploits, believe it or not, I will just take out a gun and shoot you in the head!
Seeing Lin Ziran's face calm down, Tang Youfeng also put away his smile and said in a serious tone: "Don't worry, brother, I won't let you suffer!"
At this moment, Hao Ren also stepped forward and said with a smile: "Brother Lin, you might as well listen to Mr. Tang's statement!"
Lin Ziran glanced at Tang Youfeng again, and then said: "Since Mr. Tang is interested, you might as well talk about it!"
Tang Youfeng did not speak directly, but looked around, especially the dejected and tied-up prisoners of the Guang'an rebel cavalry.
After a few seconds, he said: "In this case, give me half of the kills and prisoners, and I will give you one thousand constant yuan!"
Hearing this number, Lin Ziran was a little stunned. Are these prisoners and corpses worth so much?
He was stunned and his expression remained unchanged, looking expressionless.
Tang Youfeng on the side saw Lin Ziran's expression and seemed to think that Lin Ziran was dissatisfied, so he immediately said: "Two thousand, no more!"
Lin Ziran shook his head: "Two thousand is too little, so what price will I give you for all the corpses and prisoners?"
Tang Youfeng looked surprised: "Give them all? Seriously?"
Lin Ziran nodded: "Seriously!"
Tang Youfeng said quickly: "Five thousand, one price of five thousand!"
After hearing this, Lin Ziran smiled instantly: "Deal!"
Anyway, Lin Ziran is not in the regular military system. He is the battalion officer of the patrol camp in Qingshan Town, and he has just obtained the rank of lower doctor. Even if he has merit, he probably will not be promoted to this officer.
Therefore, at this stage, military achievements are not of much use to him. At most, he will only be able to obtain some silver rewards, and these silver rewards will definitely not be too much.
And he doesn’t want to be promoted either!
Now it is quite good to be the battalion officer of Qingshan Town Patrol Battalion. He has the actual territory in hand and has oil as a money printing machine. If he is given a certain amount of development time, he can pull out an army of several thousand people.
If you get promoted, you may be transferred to the regular army to fight with the Guang'an rebels, or you may be transferred to other places.
Will we still need the oil in Qingshan Town by then?
Therefore, at this stage, Lin Ziran still feels that it is better to maintain the current status and develop in a low-key manner.
So when Tang Youfeng said it would be beneficial, Lin Ziran agreed directly.
Tang Youfeng himself was quite surprised by this cheerful attitude.
He immediately took two steps forward and said, "Okay, Brother Lin is happy enough!"
Even if these few words sealed the deal, it's just that Tang Youfeng couldn't possibly have five thousand hengyuan in cash with him. This payment method was a bit weird.
That is, Tang Youfeng directly placed several carts of supplies on Lin Ziran's side, and then redeemed the supplies after getting cash.
What is worth noting is that these supplies are actually in the transportation team.
Hao Ren was also helpless about this: "He is a descendant of the Qing family, and he is shameless. If anything happens, he will bear the responsibility. I have no choice but to make the transport team suffer more losses!"
"But Mr. Tang also agreed. When the time comes, he will work hard to avoid being blamed by the superiors!"
Lin Ziran was also particularly speechless about this.
The transport team that Hao Ren was responsible for was said to have more than 120 vehicles when it set off from the rear.
Before the Guang'an cavalry attack today, seven cartloads of supplies had already been 'lost' due to various problems on the road.
During today's attack, a large number of about fifteen truckloads of supplies were lost.
As for Tang Youfeng, he directly took away eight carts of supplies, three of which were directly given to Lin Ziran as collateral.
After calculation, the loss of this material transportation reached 30 cars!
Lin Ziran was particularly curious as to how Hao Ren planned to get over it.
