Jiangbei Lecture Hall

"stand up!"

"Hello, principal!"

As Lin Hongfei entered the classroom of Jiangbei Lecture Hall, dozens of trainee officers stood up and then made a loud sound!

Lin Hongfei walked up to the podium, extended his hand for everyone to sit down, and said with a smile: "Everyone, please take a seat!"

After sending away He Shuzhong, Liu Hengliang, Pei Feng and other local tycoons, Lin Hongfei was finally able to find time to come to the Martial Arts Hall to teach these trainee officers a lesson.

At this time, on the blackboard behind Lin Hongfei, there was a map of Jiangsu Province in the Republic of China. Today Lin Hongfei was going to teach the trainee officers a combat lesson.

I saw Lin Hongfei raised his pointer, pointed at the northwest corner of Su Province, and then said slowly: "Everyone, this is Xuzhou, an important town in Su Province, and it is also the gateway to Jinling!"

"So, in Xuzhou, there have been more than fifty large-scale battles in the past dynasties!"

“It’s hard to say what’s right and wrong!”

"However, historians have all noticed that it was on this ancient battlefield that the rise and fall of many generations of dynasties were determined. One rises and the other falls!"

"So, since ancient times, there has been a saying of striving to conquer the Central Plains!"

"For example, in the Spring and Autumn Period, Jin and Chu fought for hegemony in Pengcheng!"

"The Chu-Han Dynasty, Liu Bang, Xiang Yu, the Battle of Pengcheng; the Western Han Dynasty, the Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms of Wu and Chu; the Three Kingdoms, the Battle of Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Tao Qian, Lu Bu and Xuzhou..."

"Today, the battle example we are going to talk about is the Battle of Xuzhou between the Ming Army and Li Zicheng's rebel army during the Ming Dynasty..."

At the end of a combat lesson, Lin Hongfei announced that the get out of class was over, and the trainee officers stood up and saluted one by one, watching Lin Hongfei leave.

As soon as they left the classroom, they saw Lu Xiwa walking over excitedly and saying, "Brother, Director You Feng and the others are here!"

"Um?"

"Why are they here!" Lin Hongfei looked happy!

The two of them were walking and talking when Lu Xiwa explained: "Hey, this is not because the old man went to Jinmen to work as an apartment house. Director You and his old subordinates have also been squeezed out."

"There is no way to survive in the capital, and I heard that we are short of manpower here, so I came all the way here."

"I heard from Director You that they are only the first batch. There are also a group of brothers from the old Anhui clique. They have been squeezed out by the direct clique and are coming to join you."

Lin Hongfei smiled: "Okay, they are all old people who know the basics. Brother You and the others are also quite talented. I welcome as many as you want!"

After long-term management in Lingnan Province, even if Lin Hongfei deliberately suppressed the local forces in Lingnan Province, the local faction would still rely on local advantages and population advantages to gradually occupy the majority of Lin Hongfei's officials.

Therefore, Lin Hongfei has always welcomed these external forces that seek refuge with him.

To control your subordinates is not to play mahjong, but to control them all, one team at a time, so that they can easily be sidelined by a certain faction.

It would be better to have more factions and be more mixed.

Of course, we must also master the sense of proportion and measurement, otherwise too many factions will lead to buck-passing situations.

When they returned to the county government office, they saw Wu Qiusheng chatting with You Feng and other old acquaintances. Seeing Lin Hongfei coming back, everyone immediately stood up and greeted each other with smiles:

"Haha, brother Lin, long time no see!"

"I miss you so much!"

"We gentlemen are finally together again!"

Lin Hongfei was also happy from the bottom of his heart when he saw these old friends. He hugged and shook hands one by one, chatting and laughing happily.

After chatting for a while, You Feng took the lead and said: "Hongfei, we are all old brothers. If I have anything to say, I will say it directly."

"Since the Zhifeng family came to power, those of us from the Anhui clan have been squeezed out, and our original jobs have disappeared. I, the deputy director of the Police Department, was suddenly transferred to the Department of Transportation as the director of the archives.

"

"Everyone really has no way to survive, so we came to Lingnan Province this time just to ask for a job from you."

"Hongfei, for the sake of our brothers, please give everyone a bowl of rice to eat!"

You Feng lowered his attitude, and Lin Hongfei quickly waved his hand to stop him: "Brother You, please don't say such things among us brothers!"

"To be honest with you, in the past two years in Lingnan Province, what I have been most worried about is the lack of talents. Otherwise, I would not have written to the old man and asked him to help me find a few people who can read and write."

"Now that you are here, you have helped me, Lin Hongfei, a lot!"

"You all have come all the way to Lingnan Province because you trust me, Lin Hongfei. I, Lin Hongfei, will remember this trust for the rest of my life!"

After hearing these words, You Feng and others felt very comfortable.

Although everyone came to join Lin Hongfei, they were already prepared to be Lin Hongfei's subordinates and to be treated respectfully from now on.

But when they really faced Lin Hongfei, everyone still felt a little uncomfortable because they had to show a respectful attitude towards an old friend who once had an equal status.

This is also human nature.

Lin Hongfei knew this, so he naturally wanted to try his best to eliminate such negative emotions in the hearts of You Feng and others, so as not to have knots in their hearts at this time and leave hidden dangers in the future.

Sure enough, You Feng's expression became much more relaxed: "Hongfei, I won't say any more unnecessary words. I will also show my respect for us old brothers now."

"From now on, if you have any orders, feel free to ask. We old brothers don't have any other abilities, but we still have the ability to charge forward!"

Lin Hongfei laughed loudly and said: "Okay, since the brothers praise me so much, I will also promise you that I will not treat you badly in the future!"

You Feng and others smiled, feeling much better and no longer worrying about their attitude when facing Lin Hongfei in the future.

At this time, Lin Hongfei said with some apology: "However, since everyone has come from afar, I have to plan where to go on errands."

"But don't worry, everyone, I won't let you down!"

"During this period, I think I'll let Qiu Sheng accompany you all for a stroll around Jiangbei."

"If you have any intention of finding a job while shopping, you can tell me and I will consider it as appropriate!"

You Feng said: "Hongfei, just look at the arrangements. Don't take into account any past relationships. The work is complicated. As long as you think it's appropriate, we can make any arrangements!"

Lin Hongfei nodded, and then asked: "I heard that there will be a group of brothers from the old Anhui clan who will come to join me, right?"

You Feng replied: "Yes, our group of people all work in the government affairs department. Because they left their jobs early, we came a little earlier."

"The second group of brothers are all mid-level officers in the army. At first, they thought they could rely on the guns in their hands and wanted to compete with their direct colleagues."

"But the commander-in-chief fell down, and their efforts were in vain. In the end, they were all transferred, so they arrived a little late."

"However, these brothers are all veteran soldiers. Like Ma Dabiao, who was deprived of the command of the army, he also came here this time."

Lin Hongfei showed some satisfaction. Since the number of soldiers in the newly established 16th Division exceeded 10,000, he urgently needed a group of experienced mid-level officers.

Now, the imminent arrival of this group of people can explain Lin Hongfei's urgent need!

You Feng knew that Lin Hongfei had a lot of work on his hands, so he didn't bother him any more. After everyone chatted for a while, he followed Wu Qiusheng and left.
