Anhui Province

"Boss, do you have beef plates here?"

Lin Hongfei held a bowl of sea and stuffed noodles into his mouth while shouting at the busy shop.

The boss turned around and said with a smile: "It's really not. We are all mutton boards here!"

Lin Hongfei suddenly felt a little regretful. It seemed that he could not eat this authentic Anhui beef noodles with Hebei specialties.

At this time, a guard in plain clothes came over and whispered a few words to Lin Hongfei.

Immediately, Lin Hongfei ate the last bite of noodles into his mouth, put the sea bowl, and threw down a row of copper coins: "Boss, remember to collect the money!"

After saying that, Lin Hongfei got up and walked towards the city gate not far away. On the side, several guards in plain clothes stood up and followed.

Lin Hongfei stayed in Taihe, Anhui Province not just to come here for a meal, but his purpose of this trip was for two people.

Huo Yunshan, Chu Liangyi, and Lin Hongfei were classmates at the same time when they were in Baoding Military Academy. After graduation, they were assigned to work in Anhui Province.

Now one is the deputy company commander in the Engineering Corps, and the other is the section commander in the Quarter Command of the Regiment Headquarters.

The reason why Lin Hongfei found them was very simple. Both of them were from Lingnan Province.

Huo Yunshan himself is from Jiangdu County, while Chu Liangyi is from Huaishui County, Lingnan Province.

As an outsider, if you want to gain a foothold in one place, the first thing you must do is to have enough military and political power.

In addition, some local people familiar with the local situation are also needed to help.

Just like Liu Bei entered Sichuan back then, if Zhang Song, the "leader of the way", it would have been much more difficult to enter Sichuan.

Therefore, Lin Hongfei was preparing to recruit these two people under his command to help him gain a foothold in Jiangdu County.

As for Huo Yunshan, whether Chu Liangyi secretly colluded with Jiangdu County local tyrants, and the militia commander Ren Anfu, Lin Hongfei was not worried about this.

Because when he was in the military academy, Huo Yunshan talked to Lin Hongfei about the reasons for going to the military academy after drinking.

It was because his shop was often extorted by local militia commanders that he angrily gave up the opportunity to go to college and instead passed the Baoding Military Academy.

At that time, Huo Yunshan did not mention the name of the militia commander, but when Lin Hongfei learned that he was going to Jiangdu County, he accidentally remembered Huo Yunshan, and then he connected the two things together.

As for Chu Liangyi, he was from Huaishui County and had basically no connection with Jiangdu County.

During the military academy that year, he himself mentioned that Huo Yunshan was the first person from Jiangdu County he knew.

Therefore, Lin Hongfei does not need to worry about these two people turning against each other secretly.

Lin Hongfei's camp was in an open space outside the county town. When his team arrived in Taihe, it also attracted the warning from the local garrison.

Fortunately, Lin Hongfei had a transfer order from the Army Department, and the local garrison was also an Anhui group, and everyone was their own, so that they would not cause any accidents.

After returning to the camp, Wu Yongquan was accompanying the two lieutenants to visit the soldiers' training. The two lieutenants' eyes were full of surprise.

One of the tall and thin lieutenants couldn't help but say, "Brother Hongfei is worthy of being the leader of our term. Everyone joined the army at the same time. He has lived the life of a regiment commander. I am still wandering around the company-level officer."

Another round-faced lieutenant also sighed: "I originally thought it was very good when I went to the Military Control Commission to serve."

"Now it seems that I am far worse than Brother Hongfei!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Lin Hongfei's hearty laughter coming from behind:

"Hahaha, the two brothers have gone too far. I'm lucky, it's nothing!"

Hearing this, Huo Yunshan and Chu Liangyi immediately turned around and then smiled in surprise:

"Brother Hongfei, long time no see!"

When the old classmates met, the atmosphere was naturally very harmonious. Lin Hongfei and others found a piece of grass and sat on the ground, and they all had a great time talking.

After a while of chatting, Lin Hongfei stepped into the topic. He did not say any clichés, but asked directly:

"Yunshan, Liangyi, are you interested in going to Lingnan Province with me!"

Before Lin Hongfei came back, Wu Yongquan had already revealed this matter to the two, so Huo Yunshan and Chu Liangyi had already considered this matter in advance.

To be honest, if the two of them continue to stay in their current troops, even if they move up step by step, they can still become brigade commander and division commander when they reach middle age.

But after seeing Lin Hongfei's current situation, both of them became interested.

The county magistrate of Jiangdu County, the company commander of the Thousand-Man Company, can even see Lin Hongfei's future prospects.

What's more, it is a very big temptation to be able to return to your hometown and make a fortune at your doorstep.

Seeing the expressions on the two of them changing, Lin Hongfei added another fire and said:

"Liangyi, if you are willing to come, my position as the director of the Quarter Office of the Independent Corps is yours!"

"Yunshan, if you are willing to come, you will be the director of the Law Department of the Independent Army!"

Although the Independent Group was created by Lin Hongfei himself, these thousand people are real.

Even Huo Yunshan and Chu Liangyi's current regiment is 1,500, but the actual number is only 800.

In other words, Lin Hongfei's price tag is already very generous!

One is real power, the other is just a position with just a name.

I actually understand how to choose!

Huo Yunshan and Chu Liangyi did not hesitate and directly chose to join the independent group!

As for whether the regiment headquarters where the two were located was willing to let go, Lin Hongfei was not worried about this.

When Qian Minghe went to the capital to serve as the deputy director, he worked in the Anhui Province garrison for many years and had a wide connection.

So, relying on the old man's name and some gifts, Huo Yunshan and Chu Liangyi's leader agreed very readily.

Moreover, when he knew that Lin Hongfei's team had not yet established an engineering company, he waved his hand and asked Huo Yunshan to take half of the engineering company to come over.

This is not because the leader of the group is generous, nor because Lin Hongfei gave too much. Of course, Lin Hongfei gave not much.

The main reason is that this regiment commander has been busy competing for the position of brigade commander with several officers of the same level recently.

He wanted to use this matter to establish a good relationship with Lin Hongfei, so as to hold Qian Minghe's thigh and find a good backer for himself when he was promoted to brigade commander.

If you give me convenience, I will give you convenience. Lin Hongfei was also very pleased. He wrote a letter of introduction to Qian Minghe in front of the group leader and sent him to the capital as quickly as possible.

The leader was a little sensible. After seeing Lin Hongfei write this letter with his own eyes and send it out.

He immediately estimated the value of the gift Lin Hongfei gave him, and then gave it back to Lin Hongfei with three times the money.

At the same time, he ordered again to second the entire engineering company to Lin Hongfei in the name of secondment to assist him in establishing a defensive position in Jiangdu County.
