Horror.
Unexpectedly, Shi Bingdao stabbed himself in the back.
This guy doesn't look that sinister. How come...
Three hundred people, brother.
How do I raise it? Food expenses are quite high every month, right?
Do you want a salary?
Boss Dai's Fuxing Club only has more than a thousand people.
I'm just a squad leader with three hundred people under my command. If Virgo finds out, he won't even dare to sleep at night, right?
It's terrible...
"Why are there so many people?"
"Didn't you say before that we were recruiting people, recruiting people, recruiting people..."
"Then there's no need to recruit so many!"
"Isn't the more the better? The more people there are, the greater the strength. They are all from the 19th Route Army..."
"Tell me first, where is this place?"
"Originally, there was no name here. After they came, they opened up wasteland for farming, so they named it Jiutang. Don't worry. I have taken care of all the procedures."
"What procedure?"
"It's a legal village. It has a national registration."
"oh……"
Zhang Yong breathed a sigh of relief.
In other words, they can farm nearby and be self-sufficient?
Forget it, this requirement may be relatively high. However, as long as he can be partially self-sufficient, it can relieve him of a lot of pressure. Not that many surprises.
As long as there is work to do, it is not so easy to cause trouble.
Otherwise, what's the point of having hundreds of young and middle-aged people with nothing to do? Fights, fights, chickens and dogs...
Learn more.
Only then did I realize that there were actually more than 300 people here in Jiutang.
Because some soldiers of the 19th Route Army were already married and had children, their families also moved here.
The smoke is curling up...
Wife and children are on the hot bed...
"What I need is someone with fighting ability." Zhang Yong frowned, "Not the old, weak, women and children."
"Yes! You can choose whatever you want!" Shi Bingdao explained, "You can choose now."
"Okay!" Zhang Yong came to the middle of the village. There is an open space here.
It can be used as a drying ground. People can also be gathered together.
Shi Bingdao is obviously very familiar with those "villagers". He greeted everyone with a smile.
Zhang Yong forced a smile and said hello to everyone.
Then I sensitively discovered that the "villagers" seemed to be divided into two groups.
Very obvious opposition.
Part of it is to the east. Part of it is to the west.
They are clearly distinct from each other.
There are more people standing on the east side. Occupying more than two-thirds.
"what happened?"
"this……"
"to be honest."
"Boss, you know, no one in the 19th Route Army wants to shoot themselves. So..."
"So what?"
"Some people believe you and think you are really leading them to kill the Japanese invaders. But other people have doubts. They think you may be deceiving them. Killing the Japanese invaders is a gimmick."
"What part of me do you believe?"
"……west."
"I see."
Zhang Yong frowned secretly.
These officers and soldiers of the 19th Route Army are very picky!
However, it is indeed not surprising that there are such differences. Because their consistent principle is not to hit their own people.
I think back then, some of them were in the battle sequence of the Nanchang Uprising. But later he left the uprising team. In the final analysis, he is still unwilling to shoot his own people.
No matter who hits whom. Always insist that Chinese people will not fight Chinese people.
Later, Chiang Kai-shek transferred them to encircle and suppress the Red Army, but they refused. They simply launched a coup in Fujian. Refuse to attack the Red Army.
The coup failed and he was transferred to guard Shanghai. Fight with the Japanese invaders. But he performed very well.
It can be seen that the vast majority of them do adhere to the principle of not shooting at the Chinese themselves. But killing the Japanese invaders and the invaders is absolutely unambiguous.
However, the cruel reality constantly reminds them that many people have indeed deceived them.
Therefore, if you don’t believe Zhang Yong, I completely understand.
"It's okay. There are more than a hundred people who believe in me." Zhang Yong comforted himself.
"As long as the boss really leads them to kill the Japanese invaders, they will naturally change their views." Shi Bingdao said meaningfully.
"Okay. Let's get started. Whether you believe it or not, let me see what they are capable of."
"I'll go talk to them."
"good!"
Soon, the communication was completed.
The principle is still the same, it is okay to kill the Japanese invaders. You don't like beating your own people.
Zhang Yong:......
All right. I originally wanted to use them to eliminate Zhang Xiaolin. It is probably impossible now. They can only be used to eliminate the Japanese invaders.
Start assessment.
The first is strength.
Shi Bingdao prepared two super heavy stone locks.
Zhang Yong tried it himself, but he couldn't hold one with both hands. Each weighs more than eighty pounds.
The requirement for the assessment is to carry it with one hand and lift two stone locks at the same time.
If there is any god who can lift the stone lock, it is beyond the standard.
"I'll go first!"
A stocky, strong man came out.
Holding the stone lock in one hand. Lift with ease.
Immediately, the other hand held another stone lock and lifted it easily.
Zhang Yong:......
Damn, what an exaggeration!
Are these guys all strong men?
It weighs more than a hundred kilograms, and it feels like his face doesn't change and his heart doesn't beat? Cowhide!
Okay, there’s a reward!
Immediately took out a big ocean. As a bonus.
The strong man took the ocean, as if he still had something to say, and said with a smile: "Master, if I lift the stone lock..."
"Reward ten oceans!" Zhang Yong was not stingy.
As long as you have the ability, I have money.
If you can lift the stone lock, you will really be a god.
A reward of ten oceans would not be an exaggeration.
When encountering Japanese aggressors in the future, they will just blow them up with one punch without using weapons.
"good!"
The strong man raised a stone lock with one hand.
A bit tricky. What is actually being borrowed is the strength of the waist. There is also upward inertia.
However, Zhang Yong was already very satisfied. Even after ten years of practice, he couldn't even do such a move. If not, the waist will be broken. He has been semi-disabled ever since.
"Bah bang bang!"
"Bah bang bang!"
People around him also applauded.
The strong man's face turned red. It was obviously a bit difficult. After all, it was raised with one hand.
He lifted up the other stone lock, and used the strength of his waist and inertia to "swing" the stone lock above his head. I held on for about a second and then quickly put it down.
"That's it!"
Zhang Yong nodded. Take out a dollar bill. Face value five dollars.
There aren't that many oceans. The only option is to send U.S. dollars. Five dollars can be exchanged for more than twenty oceans. This reward is pretty good.
"Thanks!"
"Thanks!"
Sure enough, the strong man was very happy.
Take the five dollars and show them to everyone. Others were immediately ready to take action.
"I come!"
The second person comes up.
He also successfully lifted both stone locks.
Unfortunately, it was impossible to lift it.
After all, there are always strong people. But super strong men are very rare.
So he was also rewarded with an ocean.
"I come!"
But the third, fourth, fifth...
In a row, there were actually fifteen people who could lift the stone lock with both hands. Sure enough, they are the remnants of the 19th Route Army, crouching tiger, hidden dragon!
However, only the guy at the front can lift the stone lock.
Zhang Yong also knew his name.
Shihu.
A person lives up to his name.
It turned out to be the company commander of the 19th Route Army Assault Company.
During the 128th Anti-Japanese War, he once wielded a machete and hacked to death five Japanese soldiers. Incredibly powerful.
very good. Zhang Yong needs such talents.
Two years later, Songhu fell and Shihu was still able to kill the enemy happily while fighting behind enemy lines.
"How's your shooting skills?"
"Are there machine guns?"
"there must be."
Zhang Yong replied solemnly.
Not now. But there will definitely be more in the future.
If you can't even get a machine gun, how can you kill the Japanese invaders?
"It's not easy to shoot here. Marksmanship will not be assessed. The rest of you, show off whatever skills you have."
“Does flying over eaves and walking over walls count?”
"Calculate."
Zhang Yong answered loudly.
Of course it counts. It's best if you can fly. Can do Qinggong.
It would be better if you know how to use Ladder and Cloud Control. The left foot steps on the right foot, the right foot steps on the left foot, and it goes up to the sky.
"go out!"
"go out!"
The crowd pushed out a slippery young man.
I'd say he's a young man. Judging from his face, he should be more than twenty years old. But he is thin and looks like a stunted child.
"What skills do you have?"
"Sneaking chickens and dogs, climbing trees and catching birds, I can do anything."
"Can you climb the wall?"
"The normal ones are fine. The ones that are too smooth are not."
"good."
Zhang Yong handed him a big ocean.
He needs some talents and weirdos. Occasionally, the crowing of cocks and the sound of dogs and thieves are also useful.
But the others won't be of much use for the time being.
After all, there is no large-scale war yet. There is no need to form an organized body to go into battle.
"Lao Shi, let's go."
"Don't you want to continue choosing?"
"I have accepted everyone. Let's maintain the status quo first."
Zhang Yong took out a stack of banknotes.
It was looted from Wen Zhenping's body before. A total of seven hundred silver dollars.
The banknote is from the Commercial Bank. It seems that there is also a branch in Shanghai. In fact, all banks have branches in Shanghai.
"This is……"
"Give them daily expenses and supplement their nutrition. If their physical fitness is too bad, they will not be able to defeat the Japanese."
"Understood. I will arrange it."
"Thanks!"
Zhang Yong feels that Shi Bingdao and Gu Mozhai (Gu Yuting) have completely different styles.
Gu Yuting is rather old-fashioned and sticks to the bottom line, so his impression of Zhang Yong is not very good. Zhang Yong was also refused close contact with the organization. But Shi Bingdao seemed to be much more flexible.
Maybe this is the difference between living in Shanghai and other places? In Shanghai, if you are not flexible, you cannot survive.
"Assign a few people to work at your newspaper office. There are tasks available at any time."
"OK."
The two of them discussed while returning to Sima Road.
I saw the Huaizhou Bookstore before. Still in ruins. A thought came to mind.
"Has this place been secured?"
"Don't dare to compete."
"Why?"
"Suspicious."
"The Party Affairs Investigation Department is still watching here?"
"Yes. Occasionally, people come to check."
"Yeah?"
Zhang Yong frowned.
Those guys from Zhongtong are really haunted!
Still staring here.
OK.
Our military commander specifically competes with your central commander.
Return to the office immediately. Call Yang Zhi. Let him use the name of Fuxing Society to buy down all the empty houses on Fourth Avenue.
"The focus is on the Huaizhou Bookstore."
"clear."
"The Party Affairs Investigation Department is there. We just want to step on the Party Affairs Investigation Department's tail."
"clear."
Yang Zhi agreed and went.
Zhang Yong was about to go back to his office when he suddenly saw a group of people coming back.
Oh, Kou Xingde.
Leader of the Sixth Action Team of the Action Section of Fuxing Society. Tang Zong's people.
Is he also in Songhu?
Oh, I remembered it. He was sent here by Virgo.
Virgo doesn't want to see him. But he couldn't be removed, so he had to be sent to the Songhu office. Unexpectedly, I met him.
Yeah, I guess this guy won't obey his orders.
Others are senior team leaders. How could you listen to him?
However……
"Shaolong!"
Kou Xingde was very enthusiastic.
