Chapter [-] Mercenary King

Zong Zida swore that even if he stalks him, he must reveal more secrets from the old man.

Apart from anything else, he and Fan Jianqiang accompanied Zhou Dongfei to the provincial capital to find this mysterious father.

Along the way, Zong Zida could hardly contain his inner excitement.And inexplicably, a sense of pride welled up in my heart.He has always felt inferior to his father.But never thought that the old man would still be such a brilliant and popular character.

Mercenaries, that is Zongzida's pursuit belief.And the old man who brought him up single-handedly turned out to be a top expert in this circle.In Zhou Dongfei's words, the old man can be called the "King of Mercenaries"!

The old man's name is Zong Pu, and he is only one year younger than Mr. Jinghu.Although he has never held an order to stop the dispute, he is one of the most powerful among the group of old men.Maybe not as good as Ke Jingzong and Li Daoren, but certainly not weaker than Kang Wuwei.Mr. Jinghu also once said that holding a cessation order requires not only strength, but more importantly, prestige in that circle.If you can't gather the brothers around you and let those old brothers bow their heads and obey orders, many tasks will not be completed smoothly.Therefore, for Mr. Zong Pu who has always been withdrawn, Lord Jinghu did not hand over the cessation order to him.And when it comes to individual skills, Zong Pu is indeed very strong.

However, although Zong Pu couldn't make those fierce men obey his orders, he was able to subdue the organized mercenaries by violent means.Because Mr. Jinghu's old people are all on an equal footing with him, but Zong Pu doesn't need to give those mercenaries too much face, he beats them when he says he wants to beat them, and trains them when he says they want to train them.In a short period of time, he actually created a mercenary team that was capable enough to shock the entire circle.

Zhou Dongfei couldn't help but sigh with emotion, those old people were really fierce.Randomly pull out one, such as Kang Wuwei and Zong Pu, they are all characters who can stand on their own.

……

At the entrance of the Martyrs Cemetery in the provincial capital, there is a wreath and shroud shop that is so ordinary that it cannot be more ordinary.The front of the store is not big, and there is only a simple room inside.Wreaths, shrouds, incense candles, scrolls, urns and other things are all available, and nothing special can be seen at all.

An old man with a stooped figure and gray clothes with a crew cut was sitting idle by the door basking in the sun without saying a word.It seemed that a strong wind could blow him down.

The mercenary king back then, and now the owner of the shroud shop - Zong Pu.

Seeing his son coming with a young man he didn't know beside him, Zong Pu just took a look, didn't even say "please sit down", and continued to smoke with his head sullen.It is probably impossible to say, because there is really no place to sit here except for the little ponytail under the old man's own buttocks.

"Uncle, urns are not sold in crematoriums, who would buy them at the cemetery?" Zhou Dongfei actually asked this in the first sentence.

Even Zong Zida and Fan Jianqiang were astonished by this sentence - that's true, they hadn't considered these trivial things before.Zong Zida, in particular, basically doesn't come here, as he finds it embarrassing.

On the other hand, Zong Pu raised his head, looked at Zhou Dongfei, then nodded and sighed: "Brother Jinghu's disciple really has sharp eyesight. The urns have never been sold, but two for my own use. One is for me to use, and the other is waiting for you." When I enter the tomb, I will change it for his mother."

Zong Zida's face was inexplicably hot.

Zhou Dongfei moved two bricks and sat down, and handed over a Hongtashan to light for the old man.I didn't ask how my life is like recently, how my body is like, because it's all nonsense.Life is definitely not good, but the body is definitely good.No matter how lonely the appearance of the original mercenary king, his body must be made of iron.

"Uncle, how is the business here?"

"It's not bad, enough to make ends meet. Tomb-sweeping Day is coming soon, and there will be some improvement." Zong Pu exhaled smoke.

"Do you want to change places? If you really want to continue driving, why not go to Haiyang, where there is a martyr's cemetery." Zhou Dongfei laughed, "Brother Zida plans to live in Haiyang, because his mercenaries now belong to me The company is also preparing to build a base. After moving there, you two will be able to see each other more, and we two will be able to enjoy ourselves more. No matter whether it’s good wine or bad wine, good cigarettes or good cigarettes, we can manage enough.”

Zong Zida's face became even more embarrassing.He suddenly discovered that he and his father hadn't had such a heart-to-heart talk for decades.On the contrary, Zhou Dongfei and the old man sat opposite each other, more like a father and two.

Zong Pu naturally also has this feeling.Unknowingly, the old man's attitude softened a little.Fan Jianqiang was the most surprised. He accompanied Zong Zida twice, and the old man never talked to him at all.Today, the old man seems to have a lot to say.

Zong Pu sighed: "Don't go. At the beginning, a dozen brothers were buried in the garden behind. With a little trick, your aunt was also buried in it. They said they were selling things here, but they were actually guarding their spirits. Going to the garden in the middle of the night to chat with them is more intimate than dealing with living people."

More than a dozen brothers were buried in the Martyrs Cemetery.It can be seen from this that the group of mercenaries he led back then was actually a regular army!Maybe it was just to carry out overseas missions that he changed his identity.It's no wonder that the small mercenary was born out of nowhere and disappeared after a moment of glory, and no one else could find out its whereabouts.Maybe some old brothers have returned to the team, and some have already slept in the garden behind.

"Okay, if you don't leave, don't leave." Zhou Dongfei smiled, "In the future, I will arrange people from the provincial capital to bring you bottles of wine from time to time. Master said that you like Qingmeng's Ningcheng Laojiao the most. People make it better."

"It's rare that Brother Jinghu still remembers that mouthful I like." Recalling his old brother, Zong Pu showed a touch of warmth on his face, "We have had several gatherings, either I am not there, or he has something to do, and we haven't seen each other for more than ten years Right. You’re not here for the mercenaries, are you?”

"Yes. I don't dare to bother you. I just want to share my experience with these soldiers. They are all good guys. I'm afraid they will suffer if they go out dully." Zhou Dongfei said bluntly.

Zong Pu thought for a while, then slowly got up and closed the door. "Walk."

Zhou Dongfei helped put away the wreaths and other things placed outside the door, while Zong Zida and Fan Jianqiang stared outside.I thought it would be difficult for the old man to please, after all, his temper was there.Who would have thought that after Zhou Dongfei came here and said a few words, the matter would be settled.

Zong Zida sighed with emotion in a low voice: "My own son doesn't have as much face as him."

Fan Jianqiang shook his head: "No, it's because we were not kind in the past."

Afterwards, both of them were speechless at the same time.

……

The four returned to Haiyang from the provincial capital together, and Zong Zida was extremely uncomfortable along the way.Today, the old man seems to talk more than in the past month, but this kid seems to be unable to get in his mouth.

After finally reaching the base in Haiyang, Zong Zida quickly slipped away, saying that he was going to gather troops.Zhou Dongfei guided Zong Pu, pointing and telling Zong Pu what to build here and what to build there.Zhou Dongfei told the old man about all the training venues and equipment arrangements, and asked for opinions at the same time.

"Mercenaries are not the Shadow Special Forces, so there is no need to make it so complicated. It's not that they don't need it, but it's a bit of a waste." Zong Pu said, "Everyone trained by the Shadow is an ace elite. You train ten fighters. It can be said that it is not a loss if you use it for the last time. And mercenaries should be mass-produced, as long as they can perform ordinary tasks. Basic physical fitness and technology can meet the standards, which is considered good. You can’t hold it for ten years. The attitude of one sword is to build a large-scale mercenary team. In fact, back then, we didn’t even have a decent barbell, and both ends were stone pancakes. The training of these ordinary mercenaries is not so delicate and detailed.”

Once back in this environment, Zong Pu seemed to talk a lot more.Zhou Dongfei nodded in agreement, keeping some of the necessary words in his heart.The elderly have old experience, and many places are still desirable.Some parts may be outdated, but basically ignore it.

"One more thing is loyalty." Zong Pu sighed, "In fact, when it comes to mercenaries, those in the West have a longer history, more diverse and more complete organizational methods, and their individual combat effectiveness is not too bad. The place where we can surpass them is the belief of every soldier. Mercenaries, since the word "mercenary" means that they exist for profit, so they will betray for profit. This kind of thing is not uncommon in the West , even the Blackwater Company, which has always paid attention to credibility, has the historical stain of betraying the employer. But our mercenaries are different, and must be instilled with firm beliefs like the regular army. Back then, two of my brothers Captured alive, tortured to death without uttering a single word."

When mentioning the brother who died tragically back then, Zong Pu's interest suddenly dropped a lot.Zhou Dongfei could tell that this was an old man who was indifferent on the surface but extremely emotional in his heart.Otherwise, he wouldn't have endured the loneliness silently and guarded the corpses of a dozen brothers.

"Yeah, this is what I'm most concerned about. So, I brought over everything from the regular army. Including setting up party branches in the team, setting up political commissars, instructors and other positions, these rules are all there." Zhou Dongfei said.

Zong Pu was stunned, and said, "This is a pioneering work. Looking at all the mercenary teams throughout the ages, it seems that no party organization has been established in them. The effect should be good. This idea is very good."

The approval of the Mercenary King proved that Zhou Dongfei's move was good.

While talking, the two walked to the center of the open space.At this time, Zong Zida had gathered more than 90 brothers.Under the afterglow of the setting sun, a group of people were full of energy.Although it had been told that Zhou Dongfei had invited an expert who was Zong Zida's father, everyone still had the excitement and a strong sense of mystery.The mercenary king back then, what a cool existence!Being able to meet such a person is like a fanatical fan meeting a big star in his mind.And many people complained that Zong Zida was so good at keeping secrets that he didn't let everyone get to know the old man in advance.

And when Zong Pu came in front of everyone, everyone was dumbfounded.

This old man was the mercenary king back then? ! ! !

With a wrinkled face and a body that seemed to fall down in the wind, he was dressed in gray clothes.Especially the pair of cloth shoes, or the kind of black corduroy cloth used to tie the shoelaces in my hometown in the countryside...

On the way back, Zong Zida already told Zhou Dongfei with great shame that these clothes for the old man were made with the help of his aunts and aunts in his hometown in the countryside, and whoever came to the city from the village would bring some.The old man didn't care, and he wasn't used to trendy clothes... Zhou Dongfei kicked him before he finished speaking.

Expert, really maverick.Everyone's so-called sense of mystery and reverence plummeted, and they were greatly disappointed.
