Signing in during the Republic of China: Starting from a foot patrol

During the Republican period, in order to maintain public order and track down deserters who wandered among the people, the government authorities specially organized law enforcement teams.

These law enforcement team members patrol the streets every day, and the leading captain also holds a token in his hand to show the identity of the law enforcement team, and also symbolizes that the law enforcement team has the power to cut first and then play.

Therefore, over time, the common people called the law enforcement team a 'great order'.

Because the 'Great Order' has the power to cut first and then play, it often relies on its own power to blackmail merchants, theaters, hotels, etc. along the street.

But if anyone dares to refuse, the order will directly seal your shop in the name of searching for deserters and prevent you from doing business. forced the merchants to pay to send away this group of plagues.

However, the most fearful of the 'Great Order' is the group of deserters, and the deserters who are often in the civilian population are like rats seeing cats after seeing the 'Great Order'.

After all, if the 'great order' detects his identity as a deserter, he will be directly pulled to the crossroads and cut off his head in public to show the public!

Lin Hongfei looked at his cousin Wu Qiusheng's performance, and probably guessed a few points in his heart, and he did not hesitate, and immediately pulled Wu Qiusheng through a narrow alley and returned to the courtyard again.

"Come back, Hongfei, who is this?" Qin's sister-in-law, a neighbor in the same hospital, asked casually.

"Oh, cousin from the country, looking for an errand in the city!" Lin Hongfei made up a nonsense along the way.

Qin's sister-in-law was a warm-hearted person, and she immediately said: "Looking for an errand? The car shop where your second brother is located has recently vacated two foreign cars.

"If you think it's appropriate, you can take this relative of yours to a car dealership."

Lin Hongfei smiled and thanked him: "Okay, I'll change my cousin's clothes first, and then go to the car shop to take a look." Back

in the room, Lin Hongfei closed the door, and at this time, Wu Qiusheng ran to the side of the water tank, picked up the water scoop and drank a lot of well water.

"Hiccup!"

Wu Qiusheng burped, and his face became slightly better, but his expression was still nervous.

Lin Hongfei took out half a packet of snacks and handed it over, and soothed in his mouth: "Don't be so afraid, that group of big orders are not stupid, they know that the people living in the courtyard are poor, and there is no oil and water to squeeze, so they won't come here." At

this time, Wu Qiusheng's eyes immediately lit up after seeing the snack, and he picked up a piece and stuffed it into his mouth, and he was hungry when he saw it.

Lin Hongfei was smoking a cigarette on the side and sighed, "Qiu Sheng, when did you become a soldier?"

Wu Qiusheng was stunned and said suspiciously: "Brother Fei, how do you know that I was a soldier?"

"Nonsense, except for deserters, who would be so afraid of the order, like a rat seeing a cat!" Lin Hongfei said with a smile.

"Yes, too!"

Wu Qiusheng smiled embarrassedly, and then told his experience in the past few years.

It turned out that when the Wu family moved to the countryside and suffered a military disaster, Wu Qiusheng survived by luck, but was pulled by another passing army to become a strong man.

Then, Wu Qiusheng followed the team to fight in the north and south, and in the middle Wu Qiusheng did not think about escaping, but every time he saw the cruel methods of the army executing deserters, Wu Qiusheng hesitated again.

"Phineas, you don't know how ruthless they are against deserters!"

"Put it in a sack and hang it, and beat it alive with a stick; thrown into a dog cage and bitten to death by a dog; Tied to the woods in the suburbs, he was bitten by mosquitoes and leeches and tortured to death. Wu Qiusheng still had palpitations when he thought about it now.

"Then how did you escape?" Lin Hongfei asked curiously.

Wu Qiusheng swallowed a mouthful of snack and explained: "Last month, when we caught up with our battalion commander and his wife celebrating her 80th birthday, the officers and veterans in the battalion all went to the birthday banquet, and they all drank too much.

"I kept a heart with three brothers who had good relations, did not dare to drink more, and my head was still sober."

"So, we escaped while the officers and veterans were drunk."

"Because it was a temporary intention, we walked in a hurry, and we didn't have much money with us, and the four of us did not dare to take the main road, for fear of being caught up by the battalion commander sending troops."

"Therefore, I copied the path, ate and slept all the way, and finally returned to Yanjing City by begging."

In Yanjing City, Wu Qiusheng can be said to have no relatives, only Lin Hongfei, a cousin.

Originally, he was not sure whether Lin Hongfei was still living in the courtyard, so he deliberately ventured into the city today, fortunately, Lin Hongfei did not move.

"Where do the four of you live now?" Lin Hongfei asked.

"Oh, you know the grave of Fu Lao Belle outside the city, we live in a broken shed in the orchard west of the grave." Wu Qiusheng answered honestly.

"Do you have any plans for the future?"

Wu Qiusheng shook his head: "I don't know, the four of us have been in the army for all these years, and we won't do anything else except shoot guns and slash knives."

"What's more, the four of us are still wearing deserters' hats, if we are discovered, it will be a dead end!"

Lin Hongfei nodded, his brows furrowed slightly: "It stands to reason that if you come to join me, I should find a way out for you and find an errand."

"But I'm just getting better now, and I can't take care of you."

Although Wu Qiusheng had anticipated such a result, he was still a little disappointed, with a bit of despair in his eyes:

"Alas, could it be that a few of us have to hide and hide every day like rats?"

Lin Hongfei patted Wu Qiusheng's shoulder: "It's not that you and I are brothers, I naturally won't watch you suffer."

"In this way, Qiu Sheng, you allow me to think about it first, and when I have news, I will go directly to the orchard to find you!"

Saying that, Lin Hongfei took out several sets of clean clothes from the cabinet and took out 10 pieces of ocean:

"Qiu Sheng, you first bring this clothes and money back, buy more food on the way, and don't move around during this time."

Wu Qiusheng nodded, he knew that this was already the greatest help his cousin could give him, so his eyes were full of gratitude:

"Brother Fei, thank you!"

"Family, it's far away to say these words, let's go, I'll send you out of the city first!"

"Good!"

The two brothers went out again, and Lin Hongfei escorted Wu Qiusheng all the way to the outside of the city, and he was still peaceful on the road, and he did not encounter the order to patrol the streets.

Bidding farewell to Wu Qiusheng, Lin Hongfei walked around the street with a thoughtful expression on his face.

Four veterans who have received professional military training and have been on the battlefield, no matter which unit they are in, are very valuable existences.

Lin Hongfei was well aware of this, so he had the idea of taking these four people for his own use.

The most tricky thing about these four is their status as deserters.

However, in Lin Hongfei's view, this is not a big problem, Chen Fengchang also has some connections in the military circle, and many of his grandfather's students also serve in the military.

Through these connections, Wu Qiusheng and others can get rid of the status of deserters.

"Just, how do you use their value?"

This is a question that Lin Hongfei needs to consider at present.
