Originally, he thought that stationing in Sanhezui was a risky job - there was a prisoner camp with thousands of people outside Guxuan City, and if something happened, it would be called a pincer attack from both inside and outside. So I was reluctant at first. I also complained to Zhu Si several times in private.
But as time went by, he felt that this was a good job. Although there were many prisoners in the camp, he didn't need to worry about it. The Australians have tamed them into obedience; although there are bandit activities outside the city, their task is to guard the prison camp. There is no need to go out specifically to suppress them. As long as they control the surrounding area, the task is completed. The bandits were not so unreasonable and came directly to attack the prisoner camp. Therefore, apart from daily patrols and standing guard, the Third Squadron hardly needs to fight and has no tasks. It's a leisurely and non-dangerous job.
Since Jiang Yougong is responsible for guarding the camp, he will naturally have a lot of contact with the camp director Liu Zhi. To be honest, Jiang Yougong looked down upon Liu Youyou, a naturalized cadre with a poor background and no reputation.
He couldn't help but look down on him. The resources and prestige that Liu Hope had at his disposal made him envious. Thousands of people are in the hands of the camp manager. As the saying goes, if you want him to be round, you will be round, if you want him to be square, you will be square. In Sanhezui, Liu Youzhi is the Tu Emperor.
Although the treatment of the National Army is not bad, they are stationed outside the city and have little enjoyment at all. Things are different in Sanhe Mouth. There is not only a market, but also women. You don't need to spend a few bucks to enjoy a night of ecstasy. It's no secret that soldiers from the National Army and even the Fubo Army quietly come here when they are not on duty. Jiang Yougong is no exception.
As for Liu Wangwang, although he has more than 200 minions, they are all retained by the local people. It is no problem to follow him to bully the people and take prisoners, but it is useless if he really encounters a hard fight - not to mention they are still outside the city! Many people in the camp were former prisoners of war and soldiers, and he couldn't suppress it if they really wanted to make a scene. So he tried to win over Jiang Yougong, and from time to time he would invite him and his officers and soldiers to drink and have sex with women.
Because of this advantage, Jiang Yougong tolerated Liu Youyou, a vulgar and rude guy - as long as he was the host anyway. On the surface, the two of them were hypocritical and had a heated fight.
Now that Jiang Yougong has returned to the National Army, he is not happy to return to the farm to work as a worker - even as a semi-off-duty militia captain. There is no way to be comfortable as a soldier. Especially the National Army, which does not have to go into battle to fight tough battles. They only do some guarding and guarding work, so they don't worry about their lives.
Since he wanted to stay in the army, Jiang Yougong's first thought was to find a backer. He was a former soldier of the Guangdong official army, and had been separated from the army for several years. He had no connections to use. So he placed the target of flattery on Zhu Si.
In his opinion, Zhu Si was a very suitable candidate: he was old enough and had participated in the Shandong operation. The Australians trusted him and accepted him as the captain not long after he resumed service. He was also an officer and soldier, and they had the same background, so it was easy to work together The sound is the same.
Jiang Yougong is an old prostitute who has been in the army for more than ten years and even became a sentry officer. How could a big-headed soldier like Zhu Si be his opponent? He was able to coax him down with just a few tricks. I feel that Captain Jiang is much better than those ignorant officers like Li Dong.
Even though Zhu Si became the captain, which meant he had a "prosperous official career", in fact he was quite unsatisfied with his situation. I always feel that I have made great contributions in Shandong, but I have not been paid. When he arrived, he became the "Captain of the National Army" - although the position was not low, Zhu Si felt that he should be a serious officer in the Fubo Army, rather than a civilian who looked down upon and looked down upon by everyone. Serve in the military.
People like Li Dong are even more incompatible with him. He had a feeling. Australians actually prefer officers like Li Dong to him. This time the Wuzhou Integrated Squadron went to northern Guangdong, and Li Dong became the squadron leader. See their status in the hearts of Australians.
This sense of loss made him quickly regard Jiang Yougong as a "confidant" under Jiang Yougong's flattery. From time to time, Jiang Yougong would drag him to Sanhezui to eat, drink and have fun in the name of asking him to "inspect work" - anyway, these were all provided by Liu Youyong, and he didn't spend any money, so it was like borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha.
Liu Hope was naturally happy to curry favor with the local National Army captain. When these three people get together, it can be said that they are "like each other".
Originally, this kind of enjoyment was carried out secretly, but as troops and cadres from Wuzhou continued to mobilize to Guangxi, Xie Erren was busy with supplies and suppressing bandits, and could not take care of Sanhezui - for him, Sanhezui was now As long as nothing happens and they can go to work normally, Liu Hope and others will start to act a little unscrupulously. Although Chang Qingyun's proposal to start a theater troupe was a good one, it also came at the right time.
Recently, a large amount of grain had to be transported to Wuzhou. No matter how stupid Zhu Si was, he knew that this was a top priority, so he did not dare to spend more time in Sanhezui. He spent these days wandering around the city and outside to inspect and rectify the defense.
To be honest, Zhu Si was not worried about Wuzhou's defense - if it weren't for the rich Lian guarding the city, he really felt that Wuzhou was simply an empty city.
He checked at various city gates. Due to the transfer of the Integrated Squadron, the patrol along the river of the First Squadron, and the continuous reduction of troops, there were now gaps in the personnel responsible for standing guard everywhere. After discussion with Qian Duo, he decided to open only one gate in the east, west, north, and south of Wuzhou in each direction to reduce the number of sentry personnel. The Fubo Army is responsible for the security and night patrols of all key places in the city, and all personnel of the Second Squadron are responsible for the 24-hour vigilance of various city gates and walls. The No. 1 Squadron, responsible for daily patrols along the river, serves as the night reserve. Calculated this way, the staff is barely enough.
"When will Guangxi be taken over?" Zhu Si muttered, feeling very depressed. Bandits are causing trouble everywhere these days, and the pressure on public security everywhere has increased suddenly. It made him tired to cope with it, and he was also under a lot of psychological pressure. Sometimes he even had the idea of "Australians can't hold on".
He did not dare to express this thought in front of outsiders, but it greatly affected his state of mind. This made him very angry every time he went on patrol and assigned tasks. He often reprimanded the officers and soldiers below, making the atmosphere in the Wuzhou Brigade tense.
Jiang Yougong went to make a plan with Liu Youyou and had to "get rid of the fire" for Captain Zhu.
"He has something big going on right now, so he is naturally anxious. You can just avoid him, so why bother provoking him again?" Liu Hope disapproved, "If he doesn't come, we brothers will just be happy!"
Liu Youyou always felt that Zhu Si maintained his own identity and was always "pretentious", so he often said behind his back that he was "not a happy person".
"Old Liu, it's easy for you to say that." Jiang Yougong knew that Liu Hope had no ink in his stomach and was a vulgar person who sometimes couldn't even understand the basic interests. "This Zhu Si is the captain of the National Army and is mine. Sir!"
"So what? This is the Sanhezui prison camp. It's not his turn to point fingers." Liu Youwang patted his belly.
"Yes, yes, it is indeed not his turn to dictate. But he is the deputy commander of Wuzhou Security and the captain of the National Army. With a single order, he can ask me to 'change defense' and replace the second squadron - are you willing?" "
This time, the blow hit Liu Hope's seven inches. It doesn't matter which squadron will protect him. But Jiang Yougong has colluded with him in terms of interests in the past few months.
The prisoners and refugees housed in the Sanhezui camp have been transferred many times, and there are currently between three and four thousand people there. With so many people, the daily rations issued are a huge number. This also involves the daily work situation, the rationing of different ages and genders in the camp, and different types of work... Even in Lingao, it is difficult to keep the camp in order and without leaks. What's more, Wuzhou is a "new district"! It couldn't be easier to commit fraud for personal gain.
Liu Hope naturally understands how big the profit here is, but he has no idea. Thanks to the literacy education of Australians, he can probably recognize a few words. It is unnecessary for him to engage in refined management. Xie Erren knew that he couldn't do this. If it was arranged to be managed by retained personnel, it would be like using a wolf to herd sheep. Therefore, the specific work of dispatching workers and recording work is handled by the municipal government, and the camp only takes record books and distributes them according to the accounts.
But even so, there are still many loopholes that can be exploited in this distribution link. When Liu was expected to take office, some of his retained staff became mischievous and "tributed" him money and food every month. Liu expected to know that being an official was a lucrative job, but he had no idea how to get it or how to obtain it. I can only accept as much as I pay filial piety, there is no way to care about it.
This Jiang Yougong was different. He had been in the army for a long time and was very familiar with the practice of embezzling military pay for personal gain. Although he is the target of embezzlement in most cases, he is aware of all the tricks. He observes secretly on weekdays and has a clear understanding of the fraud here in Sanhezui. I knew that what Liu expected to gain was only one-tenth of what he usually earned through fraud.
Rather than the benefits being earned by these retained personnel, it is better for them to take it - this group of retained personnel with their tails between their legs dare not compete with them: you must know that the Sanhezui Camp is under "military management", and Liu Zhiyuan cannot theoretically You can kill people at will, but it is not difficult to kill a few people.
Under the planning of Jiang Yougong, the "dog-headed strategist", Liu Hope suddenly "showed his power" and first arrested several key retained personnel, beating them and arresting them, exposing a "corruption group". All the witnesses and material evidence were there, and when the report was reported to Xie Erren, it was natural to "kill one to serve as a warning to others" and execute him by hanging. The remaining people were all in despair. Jiang Yougong took the opportunity to seize the property and power here. After some hammering, the new ratio came out: Liu expected to get half, Jiang Yougong got 40%, and the retained staff in charge got 10%.
At this time, their relationship has risen from fair-weather friends to "dead brothers."
