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

At this time, Wu Yongquan asked on the side: "Then do we really have to divide the army into two ways, staring at He Taikang on the one hand and western Hubei on the other?"

Lin Hongfei waved his hand: "No need, He Taikang doesn't care about him there, how he loves it, I finally saved this little bit of family wealth, I don't want to fight with He Taikang."

"As for the western Hubei side, we should pay attention to it, in addition to the two gunboats Jiangdu and Jiangbei, two more battalions of troops will be stationed at several nearby ferry ports, and once there is a change in the western Hubei side, we can also find out as soon as possible."

"Now, our energy should be focused on the two counties of Bei'an and Pingcheng, as well as the two places of Lingxi and Lingzhong that have recently been transferred to us."

At this time, Lin Hongfei looked at Wu Yongquan: "By the way, did I send the military food collection order sent to Bei'an and Pingcheng?"

Wu Yongquan nodded: "I sent it, and the person who sent the letter also returned." "

Some time ago, after Lin Hongfei made a plan to forcibly occupy Bei'an and Pingcheng, he began to implement it.

However, Lin Hongfei was not in a hurry to start a war, but first engaged in an order to collect military food.

Under the banner that Zhiwan was about to start a war and urgently needed military food supplies, Lin Hongfei deliberately drew up an exaggerated figure as the minimum limit for military food collection.

Moreover, Lin Hongfei claimed that the war was urgent, and demanded that Bei'an and Pingcheng must deliver grain within 10 days, otherwise the people involved would be executed on charges of delaying military aircraft and affecting the war.

At that time, if the two places paid too little military food, or simply ignored the order, then Lin Hongfei would also have a valid reason to send troops.

However, if the counties of Bei'an and Pingcheng pay the military grain on time and in quantity, there will be a food shortage in the county, and the food rations of thousands of people from the militia and security regiments will be affected.

I can't eat enough, and this is a fart fight.

At that time, Lin Hongfei will continue to squeeze the two places, and once again demand money and food from them in the name of fighting, forcing them to start resisting, and he has a reason to send troops.

Therefore, no matter how the other party chooses, Lin Hongfei can be famous.

During this period, more than 3,000 Lin family army soldiers have also arrived near Bei'an and Pingcheng, and only after Lin Hongfei's order, they can drive straight into the county seat.

After the military food collection order was delivered, He Shu, the magistrate of Bei'an County, was anxious!

Just a few days ago, his uncle He Taikang had just scraped a large amount of grain from Bei'an, and as for whether to use it as military food or sell it for money, He Shuzhong preferred the latter.

Now, Lin Hongfei, who was in the high position of Jiangbei Town Guard at a young age, opened his mouth to ask for grain, and there was so much.

Isn't this forcing the living to hang themselves!

Don't look at He Shuzhong is the county magistrate and the parent official of Bei'an County, but he also needs the cooperation of the local gentry to sit this county magistrate firmly.

The previous handover of grain to his uncle had already made the local gentry quite dissatisfied, and now if they collect military food again, I am afraid that those gentry will incite the people to rise up and hand over agricultural tools to disobey.

After hesitating for a while, He Shuzhong still decided to collect another batch of grain and send it to Jiangdu in accordance with the requirements of the military order.

It's just that in terms of the amount of food, it may not meet Lin Hongfei's needs, after all, Lin Hongfei wants too much.

He could only pray that Lin Hongfei would not be too strict and could understand the difficulty of being a county magistrate.

At this moment, He Shuzhong felt that he was dancing on the three eggs of He Taikang, Lin Hongfei, and Bei'an County Haoshen, and he couldn't crush any of them.

On the afternoon of the day he received the order to collect military grain, He Shuzhong summoned several leading figures and large landlords in the county to discuss the matter of military grain.

As soon as He Shuzhong finished talking about the contents of the collection order, Liu Hengliang, a local household, was very dissatisfied

and said: "County Chief He, we have no objection to collecting military grain, last time you said that Lord Overseer collected grain and grass, we handed it over."

"For this reason, I opened my family's granary where I stored life-saving food for the bad year."

"Now, this is like a mushroom, and a Jiangbei town guard who appeared out of nowhere also came to ask for grain and grass, and there are so many more."

"This can't be said!"

Zhang Baoqing, the commander of the militia group on the side, also said angrily: "He Supervisor wants food, let's give it, who let the family be in charge of a province's military affairs, if this is placed in the Qianqing, then it is a provincial governor, and this face must be given."

"But he Lin Hongfei also came to fight the autumn breeze, what is he, when the Qing Dynasty was a few years ago, the prefects of Jiangbei took the initiative to visit our Zhang family."

"Without the help of our Zhang family, his decree as a prefect is a piece of waste paper in Bei'an County!"

"He Lin Hongfei wants food? No way, don't give a single grain!

Looking at the irascible second son Zhang Baoqing, Zhang Tangyu, the patriarch of the Zhang family, flashed a trace of dissatisfaction, but he did not reprimand his son on the spot.

I saw him look at He Shuzhong, and slowly said: "This Jiangbei town guard can also be regarded as one of the few high-ranking officials in Lingnan Province, not to mention that people still have guns in their hands."

"I heard that Ren Anfu from Jiangdu County and Hong Tianwu from Songshan County were all cleaned up by Lin Hongfei, it seems that this person still has some tricks."

He Shuzhong attached great importance to Zhang Tangyu's opinion, and he quickly asked, "Duke Yu, what do you mean..."

Zhang Tangyu squinted his eyes slightly, and his fingers coiled a string of Buddha beads: "Military food can be given to him, but it cannot be given according to the amount he asks."

"Otherwise, he Lin Hongfei will think that our Bei'an County is a bully, and there will definitely be lions in the future."

"Give him a little, the meaning is forgotten."

"Let him also understand that we Bei'an is not the nako of a bitch, but a person can come over and pinch it."

He Shu asked again, "However, Lin Hongfei will definitely not be satisfied with this!" "

In case it goes after it..."

"Then let him chase!"

"I, Zhang Tangyu, am not Ren Anfu, let alone Hong Tianwu, in the former Qing Dynasty, the Long Mao Army, the Twister Army, the bandits, and the defeated soldiers, I don't know how many have come to Bei'an County."

"But as a result, not all of them were beaten away by me with the vigilante township."

"Lin Hongfei, he is no exception."

"The person who can cover me in Bei'an County has not yet been born!"

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Tangyu showed a domineering side leak.

He Shuzheng's heart couldn't help but feel a little palpitating, although he was the county magistrate, he was still very afraid of the largest land snake in Bei'an County.

"Okay, then do as Yugong says!"

Since the earth head snake had spoken, He Shuzhong naturally no longer hesitated.

Moreover, even if Lin Hongfei pursues him in the future, He Shuzhong can also shirk that he is a puppet, and it is all the idea of the wealthy gentlemen of Bei'an County.

In short, not sin is He Shuzhong's way of being an official.
