Chapter 4 The new official arrives!
Hu Biao, who sent the Echeng defenders who followed him and continued to move forward, knew very well that the appearance of his team would inevitably arouse the vigilance of the surrounding garrison troops. In the Guangxi clan, it would inevitably increase attention and even make private defense.
But for Hu Biao, Shillong was just a temporary base. Although Hu Biao had the idea of building some factories in Shillong, or even building an airport for aircraft takeoff and landing. In the end, his forces would withdraw from Shillong sooner or later.
The time for withdrawal may be before the Japanese army announced their unconditional surrender. However, as far as the current situation is concerned, most of the southwest areas that are not under the jurisdiction of the Republic of China belong to the colonies of Britain and France, just like Annan at this moment.
If the factory is placed in another country's colony, Hu Biao will definitely not feel at ease. On the other hand, although it will still cause doubts or even greed, Hu Biao has the ability to defend his foundation and make others dare not offend him easily.
In addition, Shillong is located in the border area of the three southwestern provinces and has sufficient strategic depth. Even if the Japanese army wants to invade in the future, the only way to gain an advantage may be to carry out air strikes. By land, Hu Biao can make the Japanese army come and go without a return.
If history does not change, then there should be two or three years before the Japanese army fully invaded Southeast Asian countries. This time should be enough for Hu Biao to train a force in Shillong that is good at fighting in jungle and mountainous areas.
After training a large number of mountain combat troops familiar with the jungles of the southwest, Hu Biao was able to send these troops out one after another before the Japanese army invaded. Before the Japanese army, he plundered more war resources and wealth and threw the blame on the Japanese army.
When the Japanese army was sieging cities and territories on the front line, Hu Biao followed him to intercept more war wealth. Through this method, while continuously consuming the Japanese army's war potential, he would strengthen his own strength as much as possible and wait for the time of great changes in the future.
He served in the southwest border for many years in his previous life, and Hu Biao was extremely familiar with the situation around the southwest. Even if the times were different, Hu Biao believed that giving him some time, he and his subordinates could understand the situation in the southwest and prepare for sufficient response in advance.
The team of only more than 400 people set out from Longzhou, and when they arrived in Shillong, there were as many as 600 people. The extra people were naturally bandits captured by Hu Biao. Most of these bandits acted as coolies.
Those captured bandits felt very fortunate to be able to save their lives. Most of them had no worries or family members. They had no choice but to go up the mountain to be bandits, and they only wanted to have a meal and not be starved to death.
After being captured by Hu Biao and his party, many bandits found that Hu Biao was still in charge of food and could even eat three meals a day. In addition to being a little tired of traveling every day, these young and strong bandits felt that life after being captured was better than being a bandit.
Many accompanying horse team guides saw Hu Biao treating these bandit captives and said in confusion: "Aren't they prisoners? Why do you want them to have enough food? They are all bandits, shouldn't they die?"
In the eyes of these horse team guides, Hu Biao and his party killed the bandits, which was somewhat of an attempt to eliminate evil. However, when dealing with these selected prisoners, Hu Biao showed extremely favorable side, which always made people feel a little contradictory.
Faced with the doubts and inquiries of the horse team guide, Hu Biao said without hiding it: "Most of the prisoners who can be selected have no way to survive at the foot of the mountain. They were forced to enter the grass as bandits, and some were even forced to go up the mountain by bandits.
My principle for those old bandits is to make their blood debts and repay them with the law and discipline, so that more people can know how serious the consequences of being bandits are. But these people are still saved, and making them porters is also a punishment for them!”
If it is an enemy, Hu Biao will display the rage of thunder to make him feel the majesty of the glaring King Kong. Thunder with one hand and the other hand are also what Hu Biao is good at. Using thunder means will eventually only make people fear the power and cannot convince them.
Only when the Bodhisattva of Hell can people be respected and grateful. This group of selected bandits and prisoners were brought back to Shillong for training. Hu Biao believed that he would become a good soldier and let more people know about Hu Biao's existence.
To establish prestige simply by suppressing the way, sooner or later it will arouse fear and resentment from others. If there are too many people who resist, Hu Biao cannot kill them all, right? It is still very necessary to use some Bodhisattva methods appropriately.
For many people living in the southwest at this moment, if they have the chance to survive, who would be willing to take the risk and become bandits? What Hu Biao has to do is to crack down on bandits while finding a way out for the people.
After walking for nearly half a month, Hu Biao and his party finally arrived in Shilong. Looking at the location of Shilong County Government, Qin Tianyou also said unexpectedly: "Boss, is this the location of the county government? It looks similar to a small town!"
"The southwest is vast and sparsely populated, with high mountains and dense forests, so the population itself is not large, and the economic conditions are not very good. Some of the remote counties here are not even comparable to some small towns in the south. Let's go to the county government first!"
When I saw a sudden appearance of a large group of people, the security team responsible for Shillong's security team soon appeared on the other side of the street. However, these security teams did not look like troops at all, and even their military uniforms seemed extremely chaotic.
"Stop moving forward! The horse team is resting on the spot. Lao Qin, take people over here and negotiate! Lao Zhu, follow us and strive to receive the county government and security team in the shortest time. We should be able to have a good rest tonight!"
"yes!"
As Hu Biao issued an order, Qin Tianyou recruited the officers and soldiers of the second company he commanded, and quickly changed their clothes in front of the waiting and watching the people. When everyone changed into the military uniforms in the package, the panicked security team officers and soldiers were also stunned.
The security officer who led the team seemed to know that these people were not simple, and quickly said, "Put off all the guns and don't get fire! These people should be our new commanders. If you offend them, you will not even have food to eat in the future!"
Nowadays, if there are better choices, I believe many young people are unwilling to join the army. But for many young people in the southwest, they can carry guns and eat public food when they join the army. With guns, they have a certain ability to protect themselves.
The people who were scared by the brigade of men and hid in hiding began to look at the young people who were changing clothes on the streets with curiosity. After a company was put on a group of clothes, many people breathed a sigh of relief.
But some people still said, "Are these people the government troops? Why do they wear clothes different from those of the government troops?"
"Who knows! Don't talk, let the government army hear it, aren't you afraid of pulling you out and shooting it? Where did these government army come from? Some time ago, I heard that a new county magistrate is about to take office, and these people must be the new county magistrate's troops, right?"
"Oh! After Zhou Pai was replaced, another Wang Pai came. Qianli became an official just for wealth. These people were obviously from other places. If they were like Zhou Pai, our lives would be even more difficult in the future."
Zhou Papi, who is the people's mouth, is the former Shilong County Magistrate who is about to step down. The sudden transfer order undoubtedly shocked Shilong's military and political officials. The most surprising thing is that the county magistrate and the security commander resigned, which is indeed puzzling.
When the second company of the Task Force quickly changed the dress, the platoon leader on duty quickly said: "Sir, the troops have been assembled, please give me instructions!"
"Ask a little! Take orders as a unit, and follow orders at any time!"
"Yes, sir!"
Looking at the entire army with a complete army and the large group of people waiting to watch the show quietly on the periphery, the officers and soldiers of the security team who rushed over after hearing the news were a little confused. What these people meant to do so.
Fortunately, Qin Tianyou brought several team members forward and said, "Is the Shilong security commander Lin Qiang here? I am the Shilong security commander Qin Tianyou. I was ordered to escort the new county magistrate Zhu Chengzong to take office. I still don't want to rebel! Do you want to rebel?"
When he said this, Zhu Chengzong, the only person who had not changed his clothes, also stood beside Qin Tianyou and looked at everything in front of him with a smile. For Zhu Chengzong, he was really surprised by Hu Biao's appointment as the county magistrate of Shilong.
Originally, Zhu Chengzong was in Suzhou Province and had worked as a county magistrate. When the Japanese invaded, he originally planned to defend the country to death, but was knocked unconscious by his subordinates. After the fall of the county town, Zhu Chengzong felt guilty and spent all his family's wealth to appease the people.
After learning about these situations by the intelligence team leader Liu Shixing, he came forward to recruit him to the intelligence team. The condition was to kill the local Japanese garrison commander for Zhu Chengzong and avenge the dead people.
No one expected that Zhu Chengzong, who had been promoted to the head of intelligence in a place, was suddenly summoned by Hu Biao to come to the southwest to serve as a county magistrate in a county. Although he didn't want to be an official, Zhu Chengzong knew that this was an opportunity.
As Liu Shixing said, if Zhu Chengzong really wanted to create a commoner and become a parent in the eyes of the people, then this would be an opportunity. And his family would be sent to the southwest in the future.
After getting on the Hu Biao's boat, it is almost impossible to get off the boat. The most important thing is that the behavior of the National Army's defending troops collapsed without fighting had deeply stimulated Zhu Chengzong, making him no longer want to stay in the National Government.
Although Shillong is remote and backward, this place is more suitable for Zhu Chengzong to play his political talents. In addition, Hu Biao said that he would not interfere too much in government affairs. However, Qin Tianyou is responsible for military affairs and public security, so he doesn't have to worry too much.
After joining the intelligence team for a while, Zhu Chengzong knew very well that Hu Biao was very strong. Most importantly, Zhu Chengzong could see that Hu Biao and his subordinates were extremely polite and kind to the people. It was because of this that he decided to come here to give it a try.
When he learned that the new county magistrate and the security commander took office, the onlookers and the security team officers and soldiers were also full of curiosity and awe. Even if Qin Tianyou had only a hundred people around him, anyone could see that these more than a hundred people were elite.
On the other side of the street, the security team seemed to have more people than Qin Tianyou. But many people knew that the two groups really wanted to fight, but they were afraid that the gangs of the security team would soon collapse without fighting!
How can such a security team play a role in protecting the country and the people?
