Chapter 110 Chapter 109 Waves

After coming out of Li Ping's place, the distraught Hu Zhongshan didn't go far when he was intercepted by several young officers.

Those young men were all young men who were captured together with him, including Lu Liang, the commander of the Seventh Company.

As soon as several people saw Hu Zhongshan, they hurriedly gathered around and expressed concern:

"Dad, are you okay?"

"Dad Hu, how are you doing?"

…

In the morning, the story of Hu Zhongshan eating and holding back at Li Ping's place had obviously spread. After all, many officers and soldiers saw it at that time.

Hu Zhongshan, who was still in fear just now, didn't notice these boys at all. He was surrounded by the cold and couldn't recover for a long time.

He just subconsciously replied: "Okay, okay, what can happen to me."

When everyone's faces became more and more weird, he realized something. He wiped his face with his hands, but found that his hands were all wet with tears.

Hu Zhongshan felt a little embarrassed again, and felt embarrassed himself, so he could only murmur: "It's embarrassing! You guys are making fun of me."

"What did the commander say?" Lu Liang, the commander of the seventh company, asked everyone's thoughts. He obviously knew the most about Hu Zhongshan's affairs.

"It's okay, sir, you still trust me. Don't worry!" Hu Zhongshan straightened his body and said.

But looking at everyone's eyes, they were still very suspicious, so he had no choice but to continue: "Some things were not done well, and the commander seriously criticized me, that's all. It's just criticism, nothing else. Really."

"That's good!" "We're worried to death"... Everyone was obviously relieved.

Hu Zhongshan suddenly felt that something was not right, so he started to teach: "Don't just look at my jokes, you also need to learn a lesson, and you don't want to be embarrassed like me. The superior is not kind to us, we have to earn for him

It’s the face.”

"Of course."

"Don't worry, Father Hu."

…

"We should try not to call daddy in the future, especially when outsiders are around. Except for the support battalion, we are the only ones in our army who call us daddy, and I always feel bad." Lu Liang, the commander of the seventh company, hesitated a little.

Insert this topic again.

Hu Zhongshan suddenly shuddered when he heard this. He slapped his forehead and said seriously: "Liangzi is right. Others can shout, but you can't. We'd better follow the rules in the future."

"Daddy Hu" was originally what the young people in his group who came from the same area called Hu Zhongshan. After joining Li Ping's army, they were still used to calling him that.

As Hu Zhongshan rose through the ranks in the army, this title did not spread among the troops with a strong sense of hierarchy, but it did spread among the support camps.

Hu Zhongshan didn't take this too seriously before. Although Lu Liang mentioned it several times, he didn't take it seriously. He was even quite proud of the name "Dad Hu", but today he suddenly felt it was a bit harsh.

Seeing that some people didn't seem to understand, Hu Zhongshan suddenly became sullen and stressed one by one until everyone agreed.

"Go home quickly! I'm fine. Who hasn't been criticized? The lunch break is almost over. It's not good for others to see a few of us fellow villagers gathering here." Hu Zhongshan was already a little nervous.

After Hu Zhongshan left, Li Ping sat alone for a long time. In the meantime, Liu Xiaohui came to serve him tea, but he did not speak.

Looking at Hu Zhongshan's appearance just now, he suddenly thought of something else, a problem that he had ignored. Some of his previous ideas were a bit simple.

Now, his business is bigger and his resources are getting more and more. As the biggest boss, of course he can occupy various resources and enjoy various benefits at will, but what about Hu Zhongshan and the others?

They have no military pay, only some privileges, and the power in their hands far exceeds the meager benefits they enjoy.

In this situation, it is obviously very unrealistic to expect everyone to face it calmly and exercise strict self-restraint.

After all, this is a human nature issue.

This is quite a thorny issue and one that he should not ignore.

The problem may not be prominent in the short term, but over time, many good comrades may be on the verge of falling. Li Ping, who has some knowledge of military history, is very aware of some lessons in this regard.

During the Republic of China, many warlords' troops (especially those in the northwest region) were built up from weak to strong and climbed out of hardship. But as they continued to grow and controlled many areas, many front-line troops

The officers still lived in poverty.

The big bosses always take it for granted that these generals who have always been eyeing them are used to hardships and can withstand hardships, and can resist the temptation of feasting and feasting.

However, the reality is extremely cruel.

Most of those division and regimental commanders were corrupted at an alarming speed, or were easily bribed by the enemy. In particular, the rich Principal Jiang's bribery skills were the most effective.

Li Ping had to prepare for such a lesson.

Hu Zhongshan's problem is by no means his own problem. After all, there are very few people like Ma Yong who can maintain their ideals and nature, and the vast majority of people are just ordinary beings.

Moreover, judging from this incident, the rate of corruption of many people greatly exceeded Li Ping's original estimate, which also made him even more upset.

The successful perseverance of the people's army in later generations in the difficult years can only be used as a reference for him at present.

After all, that army has sufficient theoretical support, clear lofty ideals, and a strong organizational system.

What's more, any theory needs time to establish and spread, it needs rich soil, it needs to take root and sprout, and it needs to generate a strong belief group.

Otherwise, empty talk is just building a castle in the air.

So what does Li Ping rely on?

Rely on ideals and beliefs, personality worship, or hope for the future?

Of course these are important, but vulgar things are also indispensable.

He is not worried about scarcity but inequality. He can eat meat and at least have enough soup. The complaints of Tian Shuisheng who was killed in some aspects are not completely unreasonable.

He must seriously consider paying salaries to the officers or giving them more material rewards, but how to control this is a very troublesome matter.

While Li Ping was thinking about it, Song Baolai wandered in uninvited.

Seeing that Li Ping hadn't taken a nap yet, the boy was a little surprised.

"I saw Hu Zhongshan just now. This little old man looked like he was crying. Did you take care of him?" Song Baolai asked curiously as soon as he sat down.

"Oh, knock, knock, knock. What's wrong with you?" Li Ping also asked curiously. It's not easy for Song Baolai to come to him now when he is free.

"I came here to chat with you about our bartering. We consume too much every day, and we have to do a big deal. I just thought of something, and I was afraid of forgetting it, so I came over to see if you were asleep.

Sleep? You also know that there are too many things in my head every day, and I forget many things in the blink of an eye." Song Baolai explained.

But as he spoke, he suddenly looked at Li Ping suspiciously and said, "You don't have murderous intentions towards Hu Zhongshan, do you?"

"Why, can't it be done?" Li Ping teased deliberately and seriously.

"I'll go, brother, are you really tempted? You can't kill him, at least not now. If you kill him, the morale of the army will be messed up." Song Baolai immediately became anxious.

Song Baolai can see the interrogation records. Li Ping never hides these aspects from Song Baolai, so Song Baolai is aware of Hu Zhongshan's issues.

Seeing that Li Ping actually showed disapproval, Song Baolai continued to say excitedly: "Brother, you can't kill anymore. I was scared by you. I thought you would kill a few culprits and it would be over. Who knew you would chop him down all at once?"

It's so cruel to kill so many people. Now everyone is silent. Brother, this is killing people! It's not killing pigs."

Li Ping suddenly laughed and said teasingly: "Okay, I'm teasing you, Bora. You know you shouldn't kill him, how could I kill him? I just hit him just to prevent him from floating. He didn't

As a matter of principle, I wouldn't even touch him, and I didn't even scare him."

Seeing that Li Ping had a natural look on his face and did not seem to be fooling him, Song Lailai finally calmed down and said: "Hey! This worries me. But then again, brother, I haven't talked to you in the past few days.

I'm really scared. I really can't stand killing people. You know, I'm terrible at bleeding. It's really nice not to have soldiers."

Hearing this, Li Ping put away his teasing expression. He looked at Song Bao sincerely and said, "Baolai, you are a good person. Don't worry, I am not a person who likes to kill indiscriminately. I was just clearing out the roots two days ago. I know it well."

Seeing Song Baolai's relieved look, Li Ping continued: "Okay, let's not talk about this for now. Let's talk about your thoughts on making a big deal."

But Song Baolai obviously didn't intend to end this topic. He turned his head and looked at Li Ping in a researching way: "Brother, we have discussed Hu Zhongshan's instability, but you still reuse him. You should not only stabilize the team and

Think about winning over the old man! I thought you would remove him from his position, but you are still just doing it. Why on earth can he sit in the position of director of the logistics department? I really don't understand. "

Li Ping looked at Song Baolai and smiled, knowing that it was not appropriate to hold him back any longer, so he straightened his face and said, "The main reason for using Hu Zhongshan is that he is old."

Seeing Song Baolai's still confused expression, Li Ping continued to explain: "The position of managing money and food cannot be occupied by weak and incompetent people, and it is easy for a huge hole to form over time if the capable person understands it. Hu Zhongshan is old, so he

It won’t last long. Moreover, he is a real grassroots person, his vision and mind are only so big, but he is the most suitable.”

————

Li Ping and Song Baolai were discussing there, and Gao Lei and Zhao Lanyue did not take a nap as usual, but also sat together and slowly drank tea.

They seemed to be waiting for something.

At this time, a maid trotted in. As soon as she stood firm, she hurriedly said: "You two ladies, Director Hu left the guerrilla master's place, and nothing happened. The guerrilla master's place was also normal, and nothing was added.

Soldiers, but Director Hu seems to have cried. Also, not long after Director Hu left, Officer Song went to the guerrilla master."

"Okay, please step back! You just need to know what happened today." Zhao Lanyue told the maid.

After the maid retreated, Zhao Lanyue said to Gao Lei with a smile: "How about it, just do as I said! Nothing happened, it should just be beating, you don't have to worry."

Gao Lei shook his head to himself, then breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It's okay. Lan Yue, don't blame me for thinking nonsense. Ever since he came here that day to get rid of Tian Shuisheng with you, I have been thinking about it."

It’s a bit chaotic. As a result, he killed so many people in the past two days, how scary it is! I’m really afraid that he won’t be able to hold it back. Okay, no more, I’m going to take a rest.”

Seeing Gao Lei leave a little tiredly, Zhao Lanyue sat there and shrugged, and said to herself: "It's no wonder that Sister Gao is anxious. You really scared us. Li Ping, you are so surprising."
