Chapter 166 Leading the Team
Lin Hongfei and Qian Minghe talked about the march to Jiangdu County for a long time. Although Qian Minghe really wanted to stuff all his experiences and lessons over the years into Lin Hongfei's mind.
However, this experience obtained through the hardship of time is not so easy to digest.
"Hongfei, if outsiders want to gain a foothold in a foreign place, the first thing they must do is to kill the chicken to scare the monkey and set up their majesty!"
"Secondly, we must pull up and fight another faction, and take advantage of the hatred between the local gentry families to eliminate most local snakes."
"In this way, the remaining local forces in Jiangdu County will not be able to compete with you. The only thing they can do is to obey your instructions, otherwise the next one will be them!"
However, Qian Minghe changed his tone again:
"Of course, if the power you have is strong enough, then there is no need to be such a trouble. The autumn wind sweeps away the fallen leaves, and a white earth is so clean."
"I have already been in harmony with Governor He. In the future, you will remember to establish a good relationship with Governor He after you go to Jiangdu County to take office."
"Although he can control the area in Lingnan Province is only the area around Dongjiang City, the provincial capital, after all, he has been an official in the local area for many years and still has some energy."
"I can't help you one day!"
Lin Hongfei listened and nodded and said, "I understand this. When I go to Lingnan Province, I will visit this Governor He specifically."
"Um!"
Qian Minghe nodded slightly, and then reminded: "According to the news I received, the general will issue an order to expand the army within two months. Lu Province is the key area for this expansion. The men of Lu Province are very popular among the army."
"So, you can deploy this in advance, use your connections in Shandong Province to recruit a group of soldiers with the best conditions."
At this time, Lin Hongfei frowned slightly, and he thought of a question: "Old man, if I go to Jiangdu County to be the county magistrate, then I have to resign from the position of company commander of the Fourth Company. I can't lead the team with me justified?"
Qian Minghe smiled and he had already thought of this question: "I thought of this too, so this is another treasure I want to give you tonight!"
As he said that, Qian Minghe took out a transfer order from the drawer and signaled Lin Hongfei to pick it up and take a look.
Lin Hongfei picked it up and took a look. It clearly stated that Jiangdu County is an important ferry crossing north of Hubei Province, and Hubei Province is controlled by the Zhili Army. Therefore, once a war occurs between Zhili Army and Anhui, the Zhili Army is likely to go north through Jiangdu County.
To this end, the Fourth Company of the 2nd Battalion, the 11th Brigade stationed in Jifu, was specially transferred to Jiangdu County to station, to monitor and prevent direct troops from crossing the river and heading north.
Qian Minghe smiled with his beard and looked like he was under my control: "For this order, Fengchang and I have used all the favors we have accumulated for many years. Only then did the Army agree not to dismiss you as the company commander of the Fourth Company."
"And also agreed to transfer you from Shandong Province to Jiangdu County to station in Jiangdu County."
"Boy, you have to do it well, don't let me be wasted favors!"
At this moment, Lin Hongfei held this order, as heavy as a huge rock holding a thousand kilogram. He nodded vigorously and said firmly:
"Old man, don't worry, I will definitely make a personal appearance in Lingnan Province!"
"I will definitely not always be embarrassed!"
Qian Minghe smiled and said, "I believe it, I always believe it!"
Late at night, Lin Hongfei left the Qian family with Wu Yushu, who was already a little tired of restraint.
On the way home, Lin Hongfei's face was always a little solemn. He seemed particularly cold without saying a word, which made Wu Yushu a little scared.
"My husband, what's wrong with you?" Wu Yushu asked in a low voice.
"Um?"
"Oh, nothing!"
"I just thought about something!" Lin Hongfei came back to his senses and said a few excuses.
······
“Successfully checked in!”
"Get an insect-grade shallow water gunboat, with 50,000 nautical miles of fuel and 5 tons of ammunition!"
When Lin Hongfei woke up from the bed, the system gave him a surprise.
Of course, this thing cannot be taken out and placed in front of you to play with. The gunboat with a displacement of more than 600 tons is more than 70 meters long.
Insect-class shallow water gunboats were built by Great Britain during World War I. Because of their shallow draft and small tonnage, they were very suitable for navigation in inland river basins.
At the same time, the firepower of this type of gunboat is extremely strong. The main gun is a 152mm rapid-fire gun, and one 76.2mm caliber and 40mm caliber anti-aircraft gun. In addition, it is also equipped with 8 7.7mm machine guns.
Although for those great powers, these gunboats can only be used as auxiliary ships and cannot be regarded as main force at all.
But if it is placed in China, it is a symbol of firepower!
The 152mm caliber main gun alone can bombard people!
Lin Hongfei was overjoyed. With this gunboat, the plan to march into Jiangdu County by himself would be easier to implement!
However, no matter how good the ship is, it needs people to control it. The number of crew members of this insect-class shallow water gunboat is about 55.
"It seems that I have to recruit some naval personnel, otherwise this gunboat can only be a decoration!" Lin Hongfei said thoughtfully.
"well!"
"It seems that I still have to trouble the old man and ask him for help to see if I can recruit a group of people who can drive warships through the Admiralty."
It can be said that Lin Hongfei no longer knows how to repay the old man's kindness. Even his grandson is treated like this.
At this time, Wu Yushu walked in from outside the house. Although it was already very late to come back from Qian's house last night, he didn't have much time to sleep.
But Wu Yushu still woke up from the bed early and arranged what the servants in the yard would do today.
"I said, sleep so late and get up so early, aren't you sleepy?" Lin Hongfei asked in confusion.
"I'm sleepy, but I always have to get up to take care of so many things at home. How can I delay the important things at home just to sleep!" Wu Yushu said with a smile.
Lin Hongfei said helplessly: "There is nothing important at home recently. Even if there is one, your body is the most important thing."
"Okay, stop busy, hurry up and get confused for a while."
As he said that, Lin Hongfei took Wu Yushu to bed, then hugged her in her arms, and got up and went back to sleep.
Wu Yushu blushed and struggled for a few times, but found that he could not get rid of Lin Hongfei's arms. He had no choice but to relax and lie down.
Although Wu Yushu has the style of being the mistress of the family, after all, he is still a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old.
The young people are the ones who can stay up late, and the young people who can sleep the most are also the ones who can sleep the most.
